Chapter 951
Yanzhou Prefecture, Teng County.

A half-burnt Zhao flag in front of the city gate fell to the ground. The soldiers of the Ming army, stepping on the flag, walked past the horse-rejecting piles with corpses hanging on them, and entered the county town that was smoking.

On the city wall, there are corpses of rebel soldiers thrown to death everywhere, broken knives and broken spears are scattered everywhere, flags are slowly burning, a scene after a fierce battle.

Outside the county government office in the city, many corpses were poured down, and the blood was foaming and converging into a stream, which was shocking.

At this time, Fang Guoan, the Ming general, held his saber, stared at a row of captured rebel leaders with a stern expression, and said in a cold voice: "The supervisor has spoken, as long as you admit that you are a traitor, the supervisor can forget the past and reuse you!"

The generals of the Rebel Army with their hair disheveled and their armor torn were bowed silent, tied behind their backs and knelt on the ground, no one made a sound.

Fang Guoan hated Thief Wei to the core. Seeing that no one responded, he frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face.

He had very old qualifications in the Ming army. He was the chief military officer during the Chongzhen period. After Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, he relied on Ma Shiying and was given the seal of Zhennan General, second only to the former four towns.

Three years ago during the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army, he was one of the governors of the five towns of the Forbidden Army, and he was highly regarded by Zhu Cihong. He had a bright future and was definitely going to be a Marquis, but the battle of Xuzhou knocked him from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

At that time, he was ordered to guard against the Qing army in the direction of Henan, but the Wei army did not put pressure on Geng Zhongming, and deliberately indulged Geng Zhongming to withdraw troops from Luoyang, killing him by mistake.

In that battle, Zuo Zhen saw that the situation was not going well, so he turned his back on the battle, and all the [-] forbidden troops under his command were wiped out, which led to the collapse of the Ming army's flanks and the failure of the Northern Expedition, and he was dismissed and sent to prison.

Originally, Zhu Cihong wanted to kill him, but later Gao Mingheng took the responsibility, and he was imprisoned for two years. His family spent all their savings, and Zhu Cihong's anger gradually subsided, and the Ming army needed a general to lead the army, so he escaped death. , was released from prison at the beginning of this year and was appointed deputy general.

Now that Huang Degong has been made the Duke of the state, but he is only a lieutenant general, so he holds a grudge.

If Wei Jun hadn't deliberately released Geng Zhongming to help Xuzhou back then, he would not have been defeated, and now his status should be second only to Huang Degong.

"Did no one hear what I was about to say?" Fang Guoan clenched the handle of the knife tightly, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Behind these rogues is Gao Yihuan's support, and he knows it very well.

Seeing the general speaking, the Ming army behind him immediately kicked the leader of the rebel army in front of him and shouted loudly, "Didn't you hear what the general said? Answer quickly!"

The Kneeling Rebel Army was kicked to the ground, then struggled again, and was immediately pressed to the knees again.

One raised his blood-stained face and said with grief and indignation, "I, Zhao Shenkuan, have resisted the Qing Dynasty for many years. I never thought that I would be persecuted by you without dying at the hands of the Tartars. It's really not worth it."

As soon as he started talking, many leaders of the rebel army also became sad and angry, struggling and shouting, "We are rebels, not bandits!"

"I refuse to accept it, saying that I am a thief, and I will not die with peace in my eyes!"

"Don't eat the toast, eat the fine wine!" Fang Guoan's mouth muscles twitched, and he waved his hand, "Send them on their way!"

……

At this time, outside Teng County, there were camps all over the field, and countless soldiers of the Ming army haunted them, while in the county town, there were gathered capable generals of the Huai and Ming armies.

In the spacious hall, all the generals of the Ming army wearing iron armor and swords hanging from their waists are standing or sitting, and their eyes are on the same person.

This person is about 60 years old, tall and tall, wearing a scarlet official robe, wearing a Usha cap on his head, with a thin face, like a person walking out of a portrait, it is Ma Shiying.

At this time, Ming general Wu Yi said to Ma Shiying, "Wei's bandits were originally scheduled to send troops after the autumn harvest in September. At this time, they suddenly made an early move. It must have been news that the imperial court sent a navy to receive Beijing. The land of Shandong is the way of grain transportation." , is the key to the court’s contact with Beijing, and the army must collect it.”

Ma Shiying was a little confused, "The army went north to Shandong before Xuzhou arrived, and the rear is not stable!"

Wu Yi sneered, "Master, don't worry. Your Majesty has already led the army into Huai'an. He is behind the army and is ready to support us at any time. Besides, the Wei thieves didn't break the siege of Xuzhou first, which means that their main target is the Qing army, and the lowly officials expected to rule Wei. Once the thieves cross the river, they will definitely go straight to Denglai, and when we go north and capture Jinan, we can cut off their way back and make them look good!"

……

In the territory of Caozhou Prefecture in Shandong Province, the soldiers of the Wei army marched in the wild, and the civilian husbands pushed a wheelbarrow to follow the army.

Looking down from the sky, one can see that the official roads and small roads are intertwined and marching forward, and the team can't see the end at a glance.

The Wei army scouts were dispatched everywhere to keep their eyes open for the army. There were densely packed armored soldiers, hunting banners, and civilians transporting food and supplies. The scene stretched for dozens of miles, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

At this time, the handsome flag was standing beside the road, and Gao Yihuan was sitting proudly on his horseback, holding the military report sent from the south in his hand. Zhu Cihong had already arrived in Huai'an, and the [-] Ming army went north along the canal, defeated Zhao Yingyuan, and the forward entered Yanzhou The government occupies Teng County.

If the Ming army continues to advance, the next step is Jining Prefecture, Tai'an, and then Jinan.

After Gao Yihuan received the information, his expression was calm, and he said, "It seems that Zhu Cihong knows that our great Wei sent troops to rob Shandong with the lonely king."

Jin Xiangang said: "Your Majesty, if the Ming army goes north, our army will go straight to Denglai, and the Ming army will cut off our retreat."

Gao Yihuan was silent for a moment, pondered for a moment and said: "Bring the map!"

Li Laiheng took out a map, Gao Yihuan got off his horse with all the generals, and spread the map on a stone.

In addition to teaching military books and tactics and arms skills, Wei Junwu Academy also taught classics, arithmetic, and some Western Yi books.

Among them is the subject of map drawing. This map was drawn by the scouts of Wei State. Compared with the previous map, it can be said that there is a lot of progress. Mountains and rivers geography, cities, villages and towns are all on the map.

At this time, everyone gathered around, and Li Guo said, "Your Majesty, the Ming army will go north at this time, which is very bad for us!" He pointed to the map, "If the Ming army seizes Tai'an and Jinan now, then help the Qing army." If the army blocked us, Dorgon could retreat calmly. If we go straight to Denglai, they will cut off our retreat if we go straight to Denglai, and we may be caught in a pincer attack."

Gao Yihuan was silent for a moment, pointed at the map, and rowed along the canal to the location of Jining Prefecture. "The Ming army relied too much on the navy. They must pass through Jining when they advance along the canal!"

Saying that, Gao Yihuan straightened up and glanced at the generals, and finally landed on Li Guo, "Li Dudu, the lonely king will give you a town soldier, and you will lead 3 people to turn south and capture Jining. Be sure to block the Ming army!"

Li Guo is a general of the Shun line, and if he does not deal with the Ming army, he will not have any hesitation in making a move, and the Wei army will not suffer.

Li Guo knew that this task was a big one, he pondered for a moment, thought about whether he was up to it, and then solemnly clasped his fists, "I accept the order!"

Gao Yihuan patted the old superior's shoulder naturally, "Your task is related to the flank of the lonely king, so you must be cautious!"

Li Guo cupped his fists again, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to my instructions."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and then continued: "Xu Heihu, you are the vanguard, you don't need to attack the city, just advance eastward, and the rest of the generals will follow the lonely king!"

At that moment, all the generals took orders, and after a while, Xu Heihu got on his horse, swung his axe, and shouted, "Boys, follow me!"

The [-] Wei army horse army, with their iron hooves rolling, broke away from the brigade and galloped eastward.

……

When Dorgon learned that Gao Yihuan had crossed the Yellow River, he was so startled that he vomited three liters of blood, fell into a coma, was pinched and beat his chest, and woke up after a while. Geng Zhongming, who fled in a hurry from Jinan.

For a while, Dorgon was surprised to find that the Qing army in the entire Shandong territory was running wildly, and there was no team to stop the Wei army.

If this continues, the retreat will turn into a defeat sooner or later. Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, tens of thousands of dependents, and more than [-] people will definitely be driven into the sea.

At this time, after the Qing army fled to Qingzhou, the scouts reported that the forward of the Wei army was approaching. Dorgon realized that the situation was wrong, and finally called a stop...
