When Yan Jizu heard that the slave-building army was marching south to Shandong, the governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty was immediately shocked.
At this time, the governor, who was a scholar and had never been exposed to military affairs, was simply at a loss.
He had never experienced such a fierce and urgent battle. , this was all Qiu Ba’s business in the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, he also received an order from Yang Sichang, a scholar at Shudong Pavilion of the Ministry of War, to ask Shandong to immediately send troops to guard Dezhou, the northern gate of Shandong, to prevent the slave-building army from knocking on the pass and marching straight to Jinan.
By then, the situation in Shandong would be out of control, and the slave-building army You can go straight down to central and southern Shandong.
Fortunately, as the slave-building army approached Shandong step by step, Yan Jizu had transferred Liu Zeqing's troops stationed in Qingzhou to garrison in Jinan, so he finally had someone he could negotiate with on military matters.
At this time, he was really lucky.
He immediately summoned Shandong Commander-in-Chief Liu Zeqing and Guarding Staff General Wang Feng for discussion.
There was nothing he could do.
He was the number one military and political official in Shandong, and he had the responsibility to defend the territory and could not shirk it.
"Sir Yan, I think the purpose of the slave army's march south is to start from Texas and go south to some counties.
These are places where slaves can plunder.
There are not many or even no soldiers guarding the cities in these places.
They are all government servants.
He Qingzhuang rushed into battle, and Jian Nu almost fell down. " Liu Zeqing showed the air of a veteran at this time.
He talked eloquently from the beginning, and he was quite mature.
In fact, he was also supporting Yang Bingbu's decision.
He is very concerned about the news in the capital.
He knows that Yang Sichang is now the favorite minister of Long Live Lord.
It is said that his status in the eyes of the emperor is more important than that of the chief minister, almost to the point of obeying his orders.
Such a person is disrespectful.
How else.
What he said meant the same thing.
Well, Yang Bingbu's decision was brilliant.
What he didn't say, the meaning of kneeling was obvious.
"Master Liu, do you mean to build slaves or attack some small towns and plunder them?"
Yan Jizu squinted his eyes and considered Liu Zeqing's words.
"Exactly, none of the strongholds such as Zhuozhou, Baoding, and Tianjinwei in Gyeonggi Province were attacked by slaves.
They only attacked the county towns."
Liu Zeqing gave an affirmative answer.
He thought he was right in what he said.
The slave-building army was indeed fierce, but it did not attack the prefectures and military states that were heavily protected.
He made it clear that he did not want to suffer too much damage.
To put it bluntly, the slave-building army was Those who come to Ming Dynasty to harvest grass and valleys are not just desperate.
Not to mention that Yang Bingbu also has some real materials, and his reading is relatively accurate, and he knows that Jiannu is a picker of the weak.
"As Mr.
Liu said, Dezhou City only has 500 defenders.
Isn't it very dangerous?"
Yan Jizu said to himself that he really had no idea about Dezhou.
Dezhou can be regarded as the northern gate of Shandong.
Yang Bingbu believed that as long as Dezhou was held, the slave-building army would not dare to move south in large numbers.
The problem was that Dezhou had such a weak force to defend the city.
It's impossible.
"General Liu, I order you to immediately lead 3,000 troops out of Dezhou.
You must hold Dezhou and not allow the slaves to break the city."

Yan Jizu killed Liu Zeqing.
Liu Zeqing was immediately speechless.
He had just put it plainly that he was just showing off his origins in Liao Town and his familiarity with Jiannu.
Really, he was just showing off, and of course also complimenting Yang Bingbu.
He did not expect that Yan Jizu would dare to send out the main force of Jinan today.
Guard Texas.
He believed that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was like a sieve.
Sooner or later, what he said would reach Yang Sichang's ears.
This was it.
In the future, he would pay tribute to the famous people around this Long Live Lord.
His work as a general soldier would be more stable.
Unexpectedly, I got such an errand for myself, this time I showed off too much.
The small city of Dezhou is not as strong as the city defense of Jinan Prefecture, not to mention that it has nearly 200,000 people.
How can it recruit 20,000 young men?
With the garrison of Jinan, it can be described as impregnable.
Dezhou, Hey, can Texas be defended?
But what he just said was too full, how can it be broken?
Liu Zeqing was really digging his own grave at this time.
In fact, this was also the intention of the old bureaucrat Yan Jizu.
He only said that the order from Yang Bing's subordinates said that Shandong must defend Dezhou without losing it, but did not mention reinforcements or anything.
"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince De is stationed in Jinan City, and there are nearly 200,000 people there.
This must not be a mistake."
Liu Zeqing was so anxious that he resorted to a big killing weapon.
King De was the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and his fiefdom was in Jinan.
This was an existence that no one dared to ignore.
If Jinan fell, King De would be at fault.
Even the heads of local officials could not be chopped off. .
"The city of Jinan is more than three feet high, making it a famous fortified city.
There are also more than a thousand soldiers of Wang Shenjiang, and there are tens of thousands of young men and women in the city, enough to defend the city.
However, once the north gate of Dezhou is opened, Jian Nu Then we can go south without any worries, as Yang Bingbu said, Dezhou is still the most important thing.”
Liu Zeqing knew that Yang Sichang was extremely favored because of his high position and power, and Yan Jizu knew it even more.
He also knew that Yang Sichang was highly relied upon by the emperor because of his achievements in suppressing rebellion, and even surpassed his chief minister Liu Yuliang.
He would not dare to issue an order from such a figure.
Don’t you listen?
If you disobey this master, his official career will be in jeopardy after Jian Nu retreats.
"Why, Mr.
Liu dares to disobey the orders of the Ministry of War?"
Yan Jizu immediately used the big stick of the Ministry of War to suppress people.
He knew that Liu Zeqing was also a thorn in the side and had a history of disobeying orders.
But just when Liu Zeqing praised this order as a good one, Yan Jizu knew that Liu Zeqing was showing favor to Yang Sichang.
Obviously he was in awe of Yang Sichang, so it would be easier to handle it, as long as he, Liu Zeqing, had someone to be afraid of.
Liu Zeqing's face was ashen.
He really couldn't offend Yang Sichang.
When he arrived in Texas, he didn't have the confidence to defend the city.
He was just sitting on the wax.

Zhao Lie was discussing with Lan Mingshan at the official office the distribution of the 20,000 troops left behind.
According to Zhao Lie's idea, they were mainly divided into three parts, Dengzhou, Dengzhou Water City and Shidao, which were the focus of protection.
He is not afraid of Jiannu's invasion.
As long as the Polu army goes into battle, Jiannu's army will not want to attack Denglai.
What he is afraid of is that the imperial army will hold back at the critical moment.
This is the most fatal.
If there is no lower limit, the people in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty are like this.
Du Li hurriedly entered and whispered a few words in Zhao Lie's ear.
Zhao Lie sat back after hearing this.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Finally, Jiannu's troops were divided.
Very good, very good.
"Gather the generals immediately."
Zhao Lie stood up and slapped the table.
Following Zhao Lie's words, the horse galloped towards the military camp and naval camp.
However, the entire Shidao is still extremely peaceful from the outside, because the military camp on Shidao has been completely isolated from the outside.
People outside have no idea what is going on inside the military camp.
The Polu Army also worked hard to achieve the concealment of the surprise attack. .
In the evening, Zhao Lie returned home, and during dinner he announced the news that Jiannu would divide his troops to attack Shandong.
There was an immediate silence at the dinner table.
Everyone in the family understood that the time had come for Zhao Lie to send troops, and it was time to decide the fate of the Zhao family.
Although Zhao Lie had several great victories against Jiannu in the past, the number of Jiannu soldiers he faced was not too many, and they were all caught off guard by Zhao Lie's surprise attack or attack.
This time it was decidedly different.
This time they built an army of more than 100,000 slaves.
They knew very well what kind of huge army it was, and the number of Polu troops was at an absolute disadvantage.
This was a disadvantage for a country against one corner.
"Lie'er, how many troops can the Polu Army send out?"
Zhao Qin asked with a trembling voice.
Alexandra, Li Lin, and Zhao E also all looked at Zhao Lie.
For women who have not gone into battle, the strength of both sides must first be seen in terms of quantity.
As for the elite soldiers, no matter how elite they are, they must Look at the quantity.
This is the first thing the female relatives look at when watching the two armies fight.
Zhao Lie smiled bitterly and thought about it.
The Polu Army cavalry plus the Iron Fist and Mandi cavalry totaled 16,000 people, the combat troops totaled more than 23,000 people, the Jeju Battalion and North Korean reinforcements totaled more than 10,000 people, and the people There are more than 4,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 artillery troops.
"Haier will lead the Polu army of 55,000 fully armored elite soldiers to fight the enemy in a decisive battle.
He will definitely return with a great victory."
In order to calm the hearts of the female family members, Zhao Lie did not say that there were Korean and Japanese soldiers here, otherwise it would be unbearable for their fragile hearts.
Zhao Qin breathed out a sigh of relief, and then sighed again, "Lie'er, more than 50,000 soldiers are said to be a lot, but the Jiannu army has more than 100,000, and you have to fight with the Jiannu in the field, so it's better to have more soldiers."
Zhao Qin looked at Zhao Lie very seriously, with an extremely uneasy look in her eyes.
"Lie'er, I see that the troops at each guard station are very well-trained, why don't you bring them to the battle formation as well."
Li Lin and Zhao E also nodded.
Yes, it’s still a matter of quantity.
Zhao Lie was speechless for a moment.
"Mom, this time my son is going to use cavalry to attack the slave-building army.
The army cannot march long distances without horses."

Zhao Lie smiled bitterly and said, after extracting 6,000 elite soldiers, the remaining prepared troops were still inferior.
Of course, if they had prepared horses, they could still fight against the Han army's flag, but what about the horses.
Zhao Lie has done his best to equip these more than 50,000 people with war horses.
It is not a matter of money.
Zhao Lie has the money, but as for the horses, these are the only war horses that can be purchased.
Since Shidao merchants purchased war horses from various places, , in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty's war horses have cost more than sixty taels each, which is often still expensive but not marketable.
We must leave some strength here to protect the base camp of Denglai, especially Shidao, and there must be no room for failure.
"Okay, I don't want mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
If we talk about fighting for supremacy in the battle, your son is the reincarnation of Master Qi."
Zhao Haiming smiled and stopped Zhao Qin from continuing to miss him.
Zhao Haiming picked up a glass of wine and "Lier'er is about to go on an expedition.
As a father, I firmly believe that Lieer will annihilate Mandi and reorganize the country for our Han family.
Come and win."
Zhao Haiming's words were full of expectations for Zhao Lie.
He believed that his second son would definitely defeat Jiannu and even revolutionize the country.
Zhao Lie and Zhao Meng toasted to victory together, and the atmosphere was warm.
The other female family members couldn't say anything.
The Zhao family now seemed to be the last hope for the Ming Dynasty to fight against the slaves.
