The cavalry gave full play to its strengths in the pursuit. Zhu Di was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking close to Li Jinglong's buttocks, chasing him all the way down from Baigou River, and constantly expanding the results. Along the way, the Ming army suffered more than ten casualties.
Li Jinglong's 600,000-strong army, which numbered over 10,000 people, lost one-third just because of this battle.
The Yan army fought continuously and was equally exhausted. However, fighting at this time was no longer just a matter of physical strength. Zhu Di knew that the worst thing about him compared to the imperial court was the huge gap in strength. There was an advantage to be taken now. How could he let it go so easily?
After chasing all the way down, all the cavalry were sent to the front. They just continued to chase and kill, and the infantry followed behind. Along the way, they searched for the armor, weapons, tents, and supplies of food and grass that the Ming army had abandoned everywhere.
Li Jinglong was defeated back to Dezhou without stopping, and the news of the imperial court's defeat spread immediately. The first time the Ming army used an army of 500,000 to defeat the Yan army of 50,000, they were defeated; the second time, the Ming army used an army of 600,000 to defeat the Yan army of 10
Ten thousand, it was still a huge defeat; in the hearts of the soldiers and the people, the Yan army was already an invincible heavenly soldier and heavenly general. Since success or failure is judged by heroes, who would care about the embarrassing situation of Yan King Zhu Di who almost wanted to die in battle by the Baigou River?
The common people heard that the Yan army was marching south along the way and commanded the army to attack Dezhou. For a moment, the city of Dezhou was like boiling water. The people were afraid that the chaos would bring disaster to themselves. Those who were able to escape fled with their families and families one after another.
They each went to visit relatives and friends, and for a while refugees were arriving in droves, creating a chaotic scene.
"Ms. Sir, the imperial court has been defeated. The army of 600,000, even 600,000 pigs, can defeat the Yan army. Why is it defeated? What should we do? Should we pack up and return to Yanggu County quickly?
ah?"
An impossibly handsome little girl with a green kerchief, white teeth and bright eyes, hurried into the tent and said to her man.
Her man had just put down the medicine box and fell down on the couch exhausted. When he heard the girl talking, he rested his arms on his head, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Feifei, why are you talking like a child? I was summoned to Texas.
Those who serve are registered in the government, so they can't just leave. Dezhou is a military city with high walls and thick walls, many soldiers and horses, and there are twelve consecutive cities outside. Field battles and city battles are two different things. No matter how powerful the Yan army is,
We can't conquer it with one attack. If we really can't defend it, it won't be difficult for us to leave again. Let me rest first. I have treated more than a hundred wounded soldiers today. Oops, I am exhausted..."
This couple was Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei. Ximen Qing was a doctor. Many soldiers in the Dezhou barracks suffered from frostbite and cold. Li Jinglong ordered all the doctors from all over Shandong Prefecture to go to Dezhou to treat the soldiers' illnesses.
Ximen Qing was also among those who were called. Originally, he could just take a medicine boy as an apprentice, but Nan Feifei was used to running around in the past, and now he suddenly started living the life of a housewife, which became boring after a long time.
It was very boring. When I heard that my husband was going on a trip, I was so excited that I insisted on following him.
So Ximen Qing asked his wife Xiaodong to guard the family business and fly to Texas with Nan Fei. He had been in Texas for almost a month, mainly diagnosing and treating colds, chilblains and other diseases. Today, he suddenly became a child with missing arms and legs.
There were many trauma patients, and the spare drugs in the military camp were not enough for use. Ximen Qing was a doctor who was unique in gynecology, so he was very busy and exhausted.
Nan Fei ran over, bent his knees, and sat down on the couch. He clenched a pair of pink fists and beat his thighs. He pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph! Wait until the Yan army reaches Dezhou."
The war is in turmoil, and if a charming woman like your daughter-in-law is snatched away to become the wife of Yazhai, wouldn’t you feel bad? You won’t be able to cry to death!”
Ximen Qing said feebly: "Pull you down, do you really believe what they say? The Yan army is not a bandit, which mountain are they going to rob..."
Nan Feifei choked, punched his leg hard, and said coquettishly: "Isn't it a bandit's behavior? You don't care, right? Come on, then let someone cuckold you, and you will be seventeen.
The eight tops are so green and so beautiful!”
Ximen Qing grumbled and didn't take her angry words seriously. Nan Feifei glanced at him and said angrily: "You are the only one who knows the rules. Let me tell you, just now I saw Lao Zhang, the doctor from Feicheng."
His little apprentice has already changed his clothes and run away, but you won't leave."
"Has someone escaped?"
Ximen Qing was so energetic that he sat up and said, "It will be easier if someone takes the lead. Just let me take a rest and pack my things, and then we can sneak away in the evening."
As soon as Ximen Qing finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and a rough voice shouted loudly: "Spread out, spread out, and keep an eye on this area. All the people living in this area are doctors and military officers."
There are so many injured brothers, we can't let them run away, keep a close eye on them, from now on, no one is allowed to come in and out freely without our people to take them with them."
In the tent, Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei looked at each other, Ximen Qing said politely: "Uh..., take out a set of my clothes, cut them up, put them on first, and then go to the stove to get some ashes.
My face is tarnished and I pretend to be an ugly man..."

Hejiazhuang.
The migrant workers serving in the army were working in full swing. The supervisors and soldiers were running back and forth, shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, dig trenches. Let me tell you, the Yan army robbed and looted, and they did all kinds of evil. They liked to kill people the most."
Chop it, chop it, stew the meat in a big pot, and if you don’t work hard now, you will all be in bad luck when Yan’s army arrives.”
"Pooh!"
Someone cursed in a low voice: "Six hundred thousand people can't defeat 100,000 people, and they still say it with a shy face, they are a bunch of trash who eat dry food."
Tang Yaoju paced, stood next to a supervisor, and whispered: "Luo Li, how are the arrangements here?"
The man also lowered his voice and said: "On my side, there are more than a hundred people connected, and there must be at least thousands of people on Shopkeeper Lin's side."
Tang Yaoju smiled slightly and said: "That's enough. Those who know the details in advance don't actually need that much. Chaos has arisen, Huang Tiandang is standing, Maitreya rules the world, we are rising up, it's time, you should be more vigilant here
, I’ll go over there and have a look.”
After saying that, Tang Yaoju walked around to another construction site.
Lin Yuqi and Tang Yaoju had no objection at first, but when the imperial court suppressed the White Lotus cultists, they also suffered a lot of losses. Now they saw that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's nephew were fighting each other, and Shandong Mansion began to be uneasy.
Changes have occurred, and ambitions have begun to grow. This is because they have a large base of believers, and once the "climate" is right, they can quickly turn into unstable factors. If they are just ordinary people, it is difficult to breed such ideas unless they are desperate.
.
Their plan is quite cautious, and they plan to follow the example of Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others who were drafted as migrant workers to dig up the Yellow River, and develop believers among the migrant workers recruited to Texas, using their original loyal believers as the backbone to attract more believers.
, and then coerce and develop some religious soldiers, thus raising the banner of rebellion.
If they can quickly gain a foothold, they will be able to stand out from the Southern and Northern armies and compete with them. This is something they think has great hope, because the biggest enemy of the imperial army is the people of King Yan, and it is impossible to divide the army in large numbers.
Encircle and suppress them. Of course, if it fails, then lead the army to surrender to King Yan. King Yan is currently weak and will definitely welcome their surrender. At that time, they can take shelter under King Yan's wings and develop themselves secretly.
The power of.
The first day of the first lunar month is the Christmas Day of Maitreya Buddha, which is originally the most meaningful day. Unfortunately, the timing of this day is not suitable. They had not been drafted to serve in Texas at that time. They originally planned to start the attack on the eighth day of April, the Christmas day of Sakyamuni Buddha. However,
Because King Yan went south, Li Jinglong led an army to meet the enemy and took away their believers who had developed in the army and wanted to open an armory and distribute weapons to them on the day of the uprising, so the time of the uprising had to be postponed again.
However, now that the Yan army was victorious and headed straight towards Dezhou with great momentum, the Ming army was frightened by the new defeat. They felt that it was the right time and the right place to start an uprising at this time, so they decided to lead the army on the day the Yan army invaded Dezhou.
Revolt and establish the White Lotus Rebel Army.
When it comes to heroes, who is the hero?
Xia Xun once said to Prince Ning's concubine that a hero becomes a hero only when he has to do something that is impossible for ordinary people. To sum up with a familiar saying, it is actually "the times create heroes."
However, there are also those who believe that "heroes make the times", such as the White Lotus Sect, whose teachings are "joining the world": "We have so many followers, but if we have the opportunity, why can't we be heroes who command Qiu and laugh proudly for a lifetime?
"
Lin Yuqi, Tang Yaoju and others are thinking this way.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xie Yufei's wind and cold have been cured.
The two set off from the farmhouse where they stayed and continued southbound, passing through Qingzhou along the way. Peng Ziqi secretly sneaked back to Peng Mansion and met her father and brother. Fortunately, although she and Xia Xun got married, Zhu Yunwen was not able to escape because of Xia Xun's defection.
When she was so angry that she wanted to kill him all over the house, she only knew that he had fled with his family, but she had not found her natal family.
The only person who knew the details of Xia Xun's wife Peng's family was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Kedi, but for some unknown reason, he did not tell the emperor about it. Maybe... it was because he didn't want to do something useless.
Bar.
After Peng Ziqi secretly met his father and brother, he declined their attempts to stay, and continued walking north with Xie Yufei. The route they took was Zhangqiu, Jinan, Yucheng and then to Dezhou. On this day, they arrived in Pingyuan County. He remembered that when he went to Peking, he was here.
Xie Yufei felt a sour and sweet feeling in her heart about the past when she teased an ancient boat merchant outside the Pass, but because she mistook Xia Xun for being a prostitute, she wanted to seduce and attack him, but was teased by Xia Xun instead.
When he casually talked to Peng Ziqi, he was laughed at by Peng Ziqi. The two girls were fighting and making fun, which seemed to dilute the feeling of longing, but also seemed to increase the feeling of longing. Who can say clearly with a wisp of love?
.
However, they never expected that the man they had been dreaming about would be at the next stop on their journey: Texas.
And Li Jinglong and King Yan, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, are gathering there as if they are racing...
