Dragon King Temple, Prince Taibao, Zuo Dudu, and Ji Town Chief Military Officer Qi Jiguang’s camp.
Qi Jiguang, dressed in military uniform, sat in the tent with his eyes closed. His subordinates lined up in two rows, but strangely no one spoke. Except for Qi Jiguang, everyone was staring at the hourglass beside him.
Suddenly, Wu Weizhong said: "Commander, the second quarter of Yin Shi has arrived."
Qi Jiguang slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the hourglass, and said calmly: "Li Rusong should be almost at Harashen, and Li Yincheng (Li Chengliang, Hao Yincheng) should also be around Xingzhong, blocking the way to Harashen.
Now it depends on the outcome of the battle between father and son."
"What about us?" Wu Weizhong was stunned for a moment: "Are we going to watch the show at the Dragon King Temple?"
Qi Jiguang sighed and said: "I was supposed to watch the show, but..." He waved his hand, stood up, his momentum suddenly changed, and said solemnly: "Break camp, head northwest towards Tangtu, and arrive at Qinglong River.
Then turn due north and we will go to Daning."
The generals responded to the order without saying a word. Wu Weizhong then asked: "Commander, it's a bit far for us to go to Da Ning. I'm afraid Chang'ang will know the news in advance and run away."
"Of course he will run." Qi Jiguang said calmly: "The intention of the emperor and Gao Shizhong is to let Chang Ang run to find Tumen and affect Tumen's mood."
Wu Weizhong was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "We are working so hard just to influence the mood of the Tumen?"
"Of course." Qi Jiguang nodded.
"Why is that?" Wu Weizhong had a lawsuit on his forehead.
"Because it is not our job to defeat them. It is Hannaji and Chatterji's business. We do not need to waste our troops. Our job is to create conditions for Hannaji, Chatterji and others to defeat Tumen.
.”
"Oh... what about Li Yincheng and his son?" Wu Weizhong asked again.
Qi Jiguang said: "They don't have a clear goal. Gao Shizhong just asked them to hold off Su Banghai and Dong Fox... But based on my understanding of their father and son, I'm afraid they will want to give them a serious beating this time."
"How did the commander guess it?"
Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "Because this is the first time Gao Shizhong has asked them to do something... Gao Shizhong is such a holy family. For such a smart person like Li Yincheng, wouldn't he know? Would he not work hard?"
"I see...According to Li Yincheng's style, it seems that he is really going to be ruthless this time." Wu Weizhong said, frowning again: "But it seems that the troops he brought are not enough?"
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "He only brought more than 10,000 people out. Could it be that he really only used more than 10,000 people? Although Li Rusong is not with him, can Li Rubai, Li Rumei and others not be able to mobilize the troops? It's nothing more than playing tricks.
It's just a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, but... it's enough to trick and defeat him quickly."
Qi Jin, a nephew of Qi Jiguang clan who was only fifteen years old, asked: "Commander, there is something I can't figure out despite my humble position."
Qi Jiguang's military regulations were very strict. Even if Qi Jin was his nephew, he had to be called Marshal in the army and claimed to be a subordinate.
But after all, he was his nephew who was being taught by his side. Qi Jiguang was still willing to give more advice to his younger generation. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Ask."
Qi Jin then asked: "Although Li Rusong is the son of Duke Li Yincheng, his current identity is the right deputy general of the Shenji Camp. Gao Shizhong did not seem to have designated him to fight Dong Fox at first, but the emperor sent him here.
, look at this matter... is the emperor a little biased? "
Qi Jiguang immediately gave him a serious look: "The emperor used him to fight this battle because he considered two points: first, he joined the army with his father when he was young and was familiar with Duoyan and Chahar; second, this battle requires
Cooperating with the Liaodong Army, no one can cooperate as well as him... What is the emperor's favoritism? This time, I will forgive you for being young and ignorant. If you dare to do it again next time, I will punish you severely!"
Qi Jin shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore.
In fact, all the generals under Qi Jiguang had this idea, but they were not named Qi after all, so they encouraged Qi Jin to ask, but Qi Jin also received a scolding.
Wu Weizhong hurriedly said: "Commander, there is no need to be angry..."
"Should I be angry with you?" Qi Jiguang glanced at him.
Wu Weizhong coughed dryly and retreated angrily, not daring to say a word.
Qi Jiguang then ordered again: "Okay, don't be stunned, break camp immediately."
However, even though he explained to Qi Jin like that, he actually knew in his heart that this was not the case, because according to Gao Pragmatic's previous arrangement, he and Li Rusong should have swapped their jobs... The emperor did seem to have a favor for Li Rusong, but he didn't.
Don't know why.
----------------------------------
Li Rusong is thirty-two years old this year. He is not particularly young. He is about the same age as Ma Gui, but he looks more energetic than Ma Gui.
Of course, it can also be said that Ma Gui seems more calm compared to him.
In the words of Gao Pragmatic when he introduced the current "famous generals" of the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Yijun, Li Rusong is "as fast as the wind", Ma Gui is "as fast as the forest", Liu Wei is "aggressive as fire", and now the only thing missing is "immovable"
"Like a mountain".
In fact, there is someone who is immobile as a mountain, but Gao Qingshi feels that now is not the time to talk about him.
Li Rusong was very tall, with a body as thick as a city gate, and the typical appearance of a giant man holding his head high, so that the already powerful BMW under his crotch seemed a bit dwarfed.
He is riding a horse, but it does not mean that he is leading cavalry. In fact, he is not leading the Liaodong Army this time, but the 5,000 squadron troops from the Beijing Camp and the 5,000 border troops trained by Jizhen, a total of 10,000
People, but the good news is that these two teams are from Shaanxi.
"Have you found anything about Ye Bushou?" Li Rusong suddenly asked.
"Back to the young master, no." The person who answered him called him the young master, and he was obviously a servant of the Li family.
Li Rusong looked calm and nodded: "No discovery is the best discovery. This place is only more than ten miles away from Dong Fox's old camp in Harashen. There may be Dong Fox's scouting horses at any time. Don't be careless. Especially when we lead this time
It’s the Shaanxi soldiers, not our Liaodong cavalry. If we are discovered, it’s hard to say whether we can gain military merit.”
"Don't worry, young master, the younger ones will all be spared." The Li family's servant seemed to have a relatively high status, and he still had a smile on his face when he answered Li Rusong.
Li Rusong nodded, turned around and looked at the Shaanxi soldiers, and said, "Jizhen really has a good way of training troops."
Those servants were used to seeing this all the way. It must be the Shaanxi soldiers trained in Jizhen who followed closely without saying a word, while the Shaanxi soldiers from the Jingying squadron were complaining and making noisy noises.
However, they still echoed: "Qi Nantang's military discipline is very strict. There is no semicolon in the world, so naturally there is a way."
The word "ye" is used very mysteriously - it means that it is not just Qi Jiajun who "has his own way", Li Jiajun is not far behind either.
Of course, in terms of military discipline alone, the Li family's Liaodong cavalry can't keep up with the soldiers led by Qi Jiguang, but in terms of combat bravery, the Li family's army at this time is really worth it - provided that the rewards are in place.
After walking for a while, Ye Bu took the report and said that he had found Harashen's sentinel. After Li Rusong asked carefully, he felt a little relieved.
It turns out that the current location of Harashen is actually near Jianchang County, Huludao City in later generations. This place is not a serious grassland, but belongs to the hilly and mountainous areas of western Liaoning, and the Yanshan Mountains extend here.
Dong Fox used to be stationed further north, where the real grassland of his tribe was. The reason why he is stationed here now is mainly for the convenience of tribute and market.
The Duoyan tribe is also known as the Duoyan Three Guards. I will not go into details about their historical origins. I will only talk about their relationship with the Ming Dynasty. It is true that there is peace during times of war. Needless to say, during war, the tribute market must be stopped, but during peace, it will usually be
was allowed to serve as a tribute market.
A few years ago, Chang Tu was captured by Qi Jiguang. This man was Dong Hu's brother and Chang'ang's uncle. So the three Duoyan guards relented and vowed to join the Ming Dynasty in the future. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty approved the mutual trade. Dong Hu and Chang Ang
Ang's bases are all much closer to the south.
The news that Li Rusong asked from Ye Bushou was that the sentinels sent by Dong Fox basically did not go into the mountains, but only scouted along the mountain valleys (basins, plain terrain), so if you want to catch them off guard, there is still hope.
, the way is to take the mountain road.

There may be something going on at home in the next 2-3 days, so the daily updates will be reduced by about 2-3K. In addition, after the 28th, there may be 3-4 days where the updates will be slightly reduced. The rest of the time should be able to maintain a basically normal update volume. Hopefully
