~~~~~~

At this time, in the temporary camp of Changsheng Camp outside Yongping City, Li Yuanqing and Liu Xingzuo were drinking wine in the big tent.

Li Yuanqing just arrived outside Yongping City this afternoon.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to continue resting in the dense forest for some time, waiting for the situation to become clearer. It was almost the end of the day here, and after he could find no faults in all aspects, he would then 'find it' step by step.

But at this time, the situation was much worse than imagined.

Abatai and Tanbai have been 'following' Commander Yuan and the main force of Guan Ning's army, which gave Li Yuanqing a very bad premonition.

If Huang Taiji deliberately wanted to eat Commander Yuan and the main force of Guan Ning's army, then~~ this matter would not be fun.

Although in the general situation, if Huang Taiji wanted to "skin and cramp" Commander Yuan and the main force of Guan Ning's army, it would be completely beneficial to him and Li Yuanqing would not be harmed at all.

But Li Yuanqing knew very well that once things really happened to this extent, according to the temperament of Zu Dashou and these bird people, 90% of the time, they were afraid that they would fall directly into the arms of the Tatars.

Historically, this is not without lessons.

As the saying goes, ‘this is going down, the other is going up’.

Although Guan Ning is Li Yuanqing's biggest enemy, at least under the current situation, everyone is still maintaining their "jobs" in appearance, doing their own things and going their own way, without anyone affecting them.

who.

But~, once the main force of Guan Ning's army is wiped out and rebels...

Although Li Yuanqing already had a certain degree of dominance in terms of general situation and military affairs at this time, he could not bear such a complete defeat.

The individual is subordinate to the whole, and the local part is subordinate to the overall situation.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

The wheel of history has reached an extremely critical point at this point.

Even if there is a slight change, it is very likely that it will have an immeasurable impact on the overall trend.

Li Yuanqing can only try his best to keep the overall trend on track.

Of course, in this situation, it would be unrealistic for Li Yuanqing to directly send troops, but it would not prevent him from revealing his whereabouts and spreading rumors.

Ten years of sharpening a sword!

Over the years, Li Yuanqing's prestige and reputation were not in vain.

At this time, Commander Yuan and his Guan Ning Army were far from comparable to He Shixian, You Shigong, Liu Qu and other "big-headed generals" with empty names.

to be honest.

Back then, He Shixian, You Shigong, Liu Qu and others, even though they were arrogant and domineering, they were still the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, obeying the emperor's orders and the imperial court's dispatches.

But at this time~, the entire Guan Ning series has almost become "Jiatianxia".

Lao Nu was able to capture He Shixian, Liu Qu and others with the help of Hou Jin's elite warriors, but at this time, it was not that easy for Huang Taiji to capture the entire main force of Guan Ning's army.

Generals and soldiers are all personal property. Who would be willing to give up easily and give up their vested interests before the last step?

Not to mention, this is still within the mainland of Daming Pass.

In this way, as long as he, Li Yuanqing, shows his traces, Huang Taiji will definitely have to think carefully about it.

Of course, Li Yuanqing also knew very well that according to Huang Taiji's majestic talent and strategy, it would be very difficult for him to "get into trouble" and gnaw hard bones in this state.

But it’s never a mistake to be more prepared for everything.

At this time, since Governor Yuan and the main force of Guan Ning left, Liu Xingzuo's heart was on fire.

As a traitor of the Hou Jin Dynasty, how could Liu Xingzuo not understand that these royal family members of the Hou Jin Dynasty wanted to peel him off and cut him into pieces?

Especially at this time~, a large number of civilian refugees from Ji Town, including the surrounding areas, poured into the Yongping line and then entered the seaside in the Changli area to the east.

The Hou Jin Army was unwilling to let him go, and with the "fat" of these common people, how could they let him go?

The key is that in order to "obey the overall situation", Liu Xingzuo also mobilized two thousand cavalry and asked his brother Liu Xingzhi to lead them and go with Governor Yuan to the capital to attack King Qin.

At this time, the number of soldiers available to him were only over three thousand...

At this time, when he saw Li Yuanqing, Liu Xingzuo felt as if he had seen the greatest savior, the Tathagata Buddha. He almost knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing, with tears and runny nose almost pouring out.

"Li Shuai, Li Shuai, you must save my brother. If you don't save my brother, I'm afraid he won't survive..."

After two glasses of wine, Liu Xingzuo could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. He could no longer hold back his tears and nose, so he grabbed Li Yuanqing's sleeve with all his strength. He was so pitiful.

Li Yuanqing already knew Liu Xingzuo's temperament very well at this time.

This guy~, even though he has muddy legs, he still wants to get under the scholar's ass. Although it is human nature, his vision and methods are really lacking a lot.

But~, after all, this guy has a favor with Dongjiang, and he can also be considered a favor with him, Li Yuanqing. Especially at this time, Yongping's position is also very critical to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled hurriedly and helped Liu Xingzuo up, "Liu Shuai, you don't have to worry too much. What's the old saying? If soldiers come to stop it, water will come to cover it. Yuan Qing will not sit back and watch Yongping City be in danger."

Although Liu Xingzuo had known that Li Yuanqing would not give up Yongping, when he heard Li Yuanqing say it, a big stone finally fell from his heart.

He also understood a lot about Li Yuanqing's temperament at this time.

As long as Liu Xingzuo, this tall and majestic young man, does not break the 'rules' easily, Li Yuanqing's promise will still be worth a thousand pieces of gold.

"Li Shuai, with your words, Xing Zuo will feel at ease. You don't know, these days, my hair is almost falling out. But, Li Shuai, you, your main force

, when, when can we arrive in Yongping..."

As he spoke, Liu Xingzuo looked at Li Yuanqing cautiously.

At this time, Li Yuanqing only had less than a thousand soldiers accompanying him. Although Liu Xingzuo believed in Li Yuanqing's strength, he still felt uneasy without a large army coming.

Of course Li Yuanqing understood Liu Xingzuo's little thoughts and said with a smile: "Liu Shuai doesn't need to be too anxious. It will only take three to five days. Yuan Qing's follow-up main force will arrive at the seaside. Chen Shuai's main force will also arrive at the latest in six or seven days."

."

"This, it's going to take so long..."

Liu Xingzuo was still a little worried.

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly: "Liu Shuai, don't worry. Liu Shuai has the advantage of the city. Just leave it to Yuan Qing outside the city."

"Well?"

Seeing that Li Yuanqing only had less than a thousand soldiers, but he was so heroic, Liu Xingzuo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After a moment, he quickly picked up his wine glass and said with a flattering smile: "Li Shuai, come here, brother, let me toast you a drink."

…………

After dismissing Liu Xingzuo, Li Yuanqing came outside the tent, lit a cigar slowly and methodically, looked at the vast plain to the west, and couldn't help but reveal a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

At this point in national affairs, it’s really...

However, freezing three feet is far from freezing in one day.

How is it possible to clean up all the virus dirt on Daming, an old and seriously ill old man, at once?

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing has plenty of time and even more patience.

The most important thing is that the time to clean up some of the virus dirt is not far away.

…………

The news of Li Yuanqing's appearance in Yongping City soon spread like the wind on the western front.

When Governor Yuan heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Even though he already knew at this time that Li Yuanqing had only come with his own soldiers and the main force had not arrived yet, but~, this news was like a powerful shot in the arm for him and the entire main force of Guan Ning.

, thus boosting the morale of the entire army.

On Guan Ning's side, although the big mountain people are very unhappy with Li Yuanqing, but~, everyone is a warrior after all.

Especially the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level have a strong sense of admiration for Li Yuanqing's illustrious reputation.

At this time, even the world-famous and invincible Li Yuanqing and the Changsheng Camp are about to arrive, so~, they are just a fool.

In addition~, with Wu Xiang and his son's rather ingenious plan, the morale of the entire Ming army's main force has increased.

In this way, the dual forces were superimposed, and the morale of the entire Ming army's main force was suddenly boosted a lot.

Abatai and Tan Bai, even if they wanted to scold their mother, there was nothing they could do.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, time has arrived on the second day of February.

But~, this was supposed to be the day when the dragon raised its head, but an urgent report came from the capital. Huang Taiji personally led the main force of the Jin army and had approached the outer defense line of the capital.

This time is different from the time last year when the Hou Jin army entered the customs. This time~, the main force of the Hou Jin army around Huang Taiji has exceeded 60,000 to 70,000 people, and it is like dark clouds pressing down on the situation.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered the soldiers and horses from all over the world to go to Beijing to serve the king.

The troops of various ministries in the Nine Borders, including Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and other surrounding areas, were ordered to go to Beijing by King Qin.

At this time, Governor Yuan and the main force of Guan Ning's army had entered Baodi territory after desperately driving for several days.

Of course, the two main forces, Abatai and Tan Bai, still follow the main forces of Governor Yuan and Guan Ning.

However, the surrounding area had already been plundered by their companions, and even the remaining common people had already fled into the mountains. Even their 'grain-collecting team' had to make one or two hundred trips every day.

Although there is a lot of land, the harvest is sporadic.
