The army set off until Chen Shi Er. After walking for more than an hour, it was almost noon, and it only took more than ten miles.

Walking along the river, there are many boats watching the fun on the Huai River, but they are all on the north shore, so I dare not get too close.

The guest soldiers were famous for being close to each other. If they were close, they said that they were spies coming to investigate the military plane. The archer shot several of them to death, but they had no place to make sense.

Liu Zeqing had sent people to post notices everywhere, saying that Min Yuanqi colluded with pirates on the other side of Yunti Pass, and he ordered the suppression of peace. If the soldiers, civilians and others were bound to be burned, they would inevitably be burned.

This is of course a differentiation strategy. Once the guest soldiers arrive, no matter whether you are abducted or not, you can grab it if you should, and kill it if you should.

This kind of metaphor strategy is to divide officials and gentry into different places, so as not to let the officials and gentry stand at the other end of the Dahewei Yundi Pass. Secondly, it is also to hide shame. Of course, it is not to hide shame for Liu Zeqing. He has never done anything ugly, and he does not think it is ugly, but rather proud of it.

This shame is to cover the court, and at least it must be a name for storming troops. Otherwise, the matter would be too ugly. Liu Zeqing was not afraid of being difficult to explain, but was afraid that the court would be too embarrassed, which would make him, a famous general, a dignified Count, had no face.

Of course, it depends on whether the matter has made these powerful generals anxious, otherwise the court's face is nothing, or not as good as that. Like Gao Jie ambushing Huang Degong, killing Huang Degong's personal army within hundreds of times. This battle took place outside Yangzhou City, causing a public outcry. Huang Degong was furious after he escaped and wanted to summon all the troops to fight Gao Jie.

Shi Kefa jumped up and down, desperately speaking, and then pressed the matter down.

This incident gave Gao Jie a great impression of Shi Kefa. He had an irreconcilable hatred with Li Zicheng, so Gao Jie was the most concerned about military affairs among the four towns. He often inspected the Xuzhou area and urged the generals to train troops. Later, he planned to use Xuzhou Town to go north to fight.

At the same time, he also asked his son to worship Shi Kefa as his adoptive father. However, Shi Kefa cherishes his feathers and introduces Gao Jie's son to Gao Qiqian, and asks this famous Quanqian, who was famous during the Chongzhen period to accept Gao Jie's son as his godson.

This matter is not very authentic, but fortunately Gao Jie didn't care much.

In fact, it would be a good time if Gao Jie could make a journey. Most of Henan and Shandong were extremely empty at that time.

Gao Jie is going, and he can get dozens of state prefectures within three months and get another 100,000 soldiers.

Unfortunately, Gao Jie died before he could fulfill his ambitions. During his inspection, he was killed by subordinates who wanted to surrender to the enemy. Most of Gao Jie's troops surrendered, and a small half fled south, and his troops disappeared.

If Gao Jie did not die, he would probably not be able to defeat the Qing army south. However, if he went south, with his many years of fighting and extremely cunning personality, it is unknown what role he could play.

It was early summer, and the river had just recovered from the long dry season. The river water was still flowing smoothly, and the part of the river bank was still exposed and did not rise too much.

If you have to wait for another ten days and half a month, there will be continuous heavy rain, and then the rain will continue to rain, and the river water will surge. The gentle Huai River in front of you will turn into a violent beast. Even if there are multiple flood discharge areas along the upstream, after the Yellow River seized the Huai River and entered the sea, the Huai River first rushed out of a Hongze Lake, and then entered the Yangtze River through Gaoyou Lake. The original Huai River entrance to the Yuntiguan area and went out to sea. As time goes by, mud and sand enter the river. Not only does it gradually accumulate the coast in the Yuntiguan area, but the original river channel of the Huai River is getting higher and higher.

The scenery on both sides of the shore is very good. When walking on the shore, there are endless plains, hidden by farmers, and the farmland cannot be seen at a glance. The channels are deep, the water flows endlessly, and the river water is green. The two sides are forests and green grass. The river water is not as turbid as it was when it was watered, but a blue color.

Who would have thought that this river brought hundreds of years of deep suffering to the people in the Huai River, and it would rise and discharge floods every year. After a few years or more, it would be a big flood. The people had no spare wealth and no constant property. It was thanks to this river to turn from a land of fish and rice into a poor and embarrassing place.

The people on the river had gloomy eyes and were a little more courageous, who had already taken the boat and left without even daring to walk with these guest soldiers.

Some of the travelers who were too tired would yell and scold the river, or even threaten them by arrows.

Fortunately, the river channel is several miles wide, so those who drive in Hebei are not too worried. It’s just that the passengers are so ill-behaved, and the timids quickly take the boat away and dare not stop any more.

It was almost noon, and the brigade of horses and more than a thousand cavalry met at a dike. Liu Kecheng had just stopped to rest. The cavalry were very tired and the war horses were even more tired. Liu Kecheng and his military officers ordered the cavalry to untie the horse's belly, check the horse's socks, drink water and feed the horses.

Some of the cavalry were Liu Zeqing's nemesis, and some were Liu Kecheng's own servants. In addition, several battalions of cavalry were mobilized to form a cavalry team of more than a thousand people.

These cavalrymen are all proud of the army, most of them are personal soldiers or needs of middle and lower-level military officers. They are strong in shape, vigorous in spirit, and have a strong desire to fight and a sense of honor.

Many cavalrymen have long spears or long swords hanging on the left side of the abdomen, and waist knives or swords hanging on the other side. Some cavalry also carry bows and arrows on their bodies, and war horses also have quiveres or pockets on their bodies.

Since most cavalrymen are wearing armor, although there are fewer iron armor, and with kettles and other debris, each horse is not burdened with heavy loads. After running for a morning, the horses were sweating and exhausted. These horses were generally thin. Although war horses were the wealth of the army and the foundation for these cavalry and Need to establish themselves, what is important for an army is military discipline. Otherwise, the battalion soldiers would know that they would have a greater chance of saving their lives by going to the battlefield with high martial arts skills. However, if there were no generals who strictly supervise military discipline, the soldiers were still accustomed to being sloppy and lazy, and there was no one who truly consciously trained.

The same is true for the cavalry. Although they know that war horses are their foundation, except for a few people who take good care of them, many cavalry just deal with the matter, and some cavalry even secretly take out the allocated horse materials and sell them.

Of course, the generals' Needles disdained this. Their armor was stronger and thicker, their weapons were sharper, and their war horses were taller and stronger.

Even when they stopped riding the team and took care of the horses, their attitude was more serious and careful.

The cavalry had done almost the work and spread their horses, and they ate the green seedlings in the fields.

At this moment, Liu Zhigan and other generals arrived with infantry. When the two sides met, Liu Kecheng rode over to greet him.

"Old Liu." Liu Zhichang came up and asked, "Did those bastards catch them last night?"

"Shame." Liu Kecheng said steadily: "After chasing for a long time, I only saw a few soaks of fresh horse shit, which is really unlucky."

"What a fuck!" Liu Zhigan said with anger on his face, "I'm so brave that he dares to attack us. When he reaches Yundi Pass, he will definitely kill them regardless of good or bad."

Liu Kecheng remained silent, and Yao Wenqian couldn't help but say, "Don't calm down, and you should keep some experts who know the salt drying method in the salt field, otherwise the general will be unhappy when he finds out."

The fierce aura on Liu Zhigan's face gradually subsided, and nodded, saying seriously: "The people in the salt pond will be left behind at that time, but be careful of someone getting confused."

Several generals nodded and said yes. No matter what, they had the same view as Liu Zhigan. There was no suspense in this war. The day when they arrived at the Qianhu Institute of Yuntiguan, it was time for the end of the matter.

Everyone felt a little tired. Until today, it was the seventh day of sending troops. It was only less than 230 miles from Huai'an to the Qianhu Quarter of Yuntiguan. They had to consider the issue of food every day during the Kaichu days, so they marched no more than 20 miles a day.

Later, Liu Zeqing felt that he was walking too slowly, so he sent someone to scold him, so the generals decided to go faster.

He left soon, but there was no military ration supply, so he could only send a small number of troops to collect grain around him in advance, and what he wanted was dry food.

Of course, the soldiers were full of resentment. They were walking slowly and could eat at least two hot meals a day. Now, they could drink some hot water in the morning and drink some hot water at noon. Only in the evening can they go to the market towns and villages to find ways to get some delicious food. So when these soldiers set off every day, they wanted to camp. After noon, they walked for about one and a half hours. They were clamoring to camp when it was dawn.

Due to poor military discipline and no law is held responsible for the majority, even if the generals can use military law to kill people at will, when the majority of the people violate the military law, the generals can only compromise.

Even with Liu Zeqing's strict order, they could only walk less than thirty miles a day, which was equivalent to the speed of marching in the local area. If they changed to the guest land, the roads were not familiar with each other and the people and the land were separated, they would probably have to walk more slowly.

"I thought they wouldn't dare to come again after being driven away like this." Liu Zhigan said proudly.

Although everyone did not like Liu Zhigan's arrogant attitude, they also agreed with it.

Liu Kecheng laughed and said, "Last night, they suddenly asked them to take advantage. I heard that they didn't even have bows or arrows. Although it was best to use swords and guns during the raid, the fire broke out and our soldiers were scared to run everywhere. No one in the fire shot the defeated soldiers with bows and arrows. Some people said that there were dozens of enemy cavalry, and none of them could ride and shoot on horseback. I think these are mostly rustic buns. It would be good to be able to ride and swing swords and guns on horseback. I'm afraid there is no one who can ride and shoot on horseback."

"Kecheng said," Yao Wenqian said: "Don't chase the cavalry anymore, and the camp will rest. We will continue to walk in half an hour. After noon, we can walk for a while."

"Yes." Liu Kecheng clasped his fists and agreed.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a team of dozens of cavalry appeared on the horizon again, not far apart. There were some whistle cavalry sent by Yao Wenqian there, and more than ten cavalry were surrounded by these cavalrymen and were hunting and slaughtering.

In front of everyone, the cavalry were almost surrounded, with their guns stabbing and slashing with sabers. The whistlemen in Shandong Town screamed and fell down, and even people could see their heads rolling down.

From a distance, you can hear the sound of bones being cut.

"Fuck!" Liu Zhigan's eyes were as bright as a bull's eyes. The matter in front of him was considered a new idea.
