Heavy snow not only fell in Liaoyang, but fell in the entire Liaodong, dyeing the entire Liaodong whiten, causing the world to be covered with whiteness.

In the wind and snow, in the area of ​​Ximubao, Gaizhou, hundreds of miles away from Liaoyang City, there was a team of more than a thousand people moving forward in the wind and snow.

This team received the Liaoyang military order four days ago and was ordered to be transferred to the Jinzhou Guerrilla Shangxue Rites Department under the tent of the Assistant Secretary of the Left Office of the Five Army Governor's Office.

After receiving the military order, Shang Xueli did not dare to neglect and quickly led his two sons Shang Ke. Shang Kexi and more than 1,500 officers and soldiers from his troops set out to Liaoyang.

When he arrived at Gaizhou, he received the order from Liu Zhi and told him that he did not have to go to Liaoyang and just rushed to Dingliao Central Guard. At that moment, Shangmen turned toward Dingliao Guard to the east and rushed to Dingliao Guard.

When we arrived at the Ximubao area, it suddenly snowed heavily. The snowstorm was accompanied by the heavy snow of goose feathers. The Lin Li Beifeng was so painful that everyone's face was hurt.

The officers and soldiers were so cold that they could not open their eyes, and the carriages and ox carts that transported their supplies were difficult to move due to the slid on the ground.

Several carriages slid into the ditch on the side of the road, causing the already difficult marching team to be blocked on the road. The officers and soldiers were in a mess, and the horses and cows were yelling in chaos.

Seeing that this would not work, Shang Kexi, the second son of Shang Kexi, advised his father to stop moving forward and asked the soldiers to find a shelter to hide from the wind and snow. It would not be too late to set off after the wind and snow stopped.

Shang Xueli's eldest son Shang Kejin said, "No, the military order is like a mountain. General Liu asked our troops to arrive at Dingliao Acropolis within five days. If our troops postpone the order, they will be subject to General Liu's military law!"

"Brother, the wind and snow are so strong, how can the soldiers move forward?" Shang Kexi looked at his father in embarrassment.

Shang Xueli also felt difficult. It is common for heavy snow to fall in Liaodong, but the wind and snow are so strong that even though Shang Xueli has been in Liaodong for more than 30 years, it is the first time he has seen him. Military orders are to be followed, but the current situation of the officers and soldiers is probably difficult to continue to march.

Just as Shang Xueli was hesitating whether to listen to what his second son said, Shang Kejin said, "It would be better if you do this, father and son ask people to remove the excess, and let's move forward with ease."

Shang Kexi shook his head and objected: "Brother, without the baggage, what should we eat, drink, and what should we use to fight Jiannu when we arrive in Dingliao City?"

Shang Kejin said: "General Liu will have arrangements, but in short, we cannot miss the military term."

"We are raised by our stepmothers. General Liu came from the pass. Can the eldest brother guarantee that General Liu treats us equally?"

Shang Kexi was telling the truth. Although their Jinzhou soldiers were the main soldiers in Liaodong and General Liu brought the troops from the pass were visiting soldiers, they were now transferred to General Liu by the Risk Office, so the host and guest were transferred. Who dared to pat his chest and say that the people under General Liu would definitely give them the things to them, the Jinzhou soldiers.

Moreover, the hasty dispatch of troops was not prepared enough, and the above-mentioned troops had not even paid off the salary for the troops. The things brought in the team were still the property that they had finally saved. Who wouldn't feel sorry for discarding them?

It’s said it’s a war, but it’s money!

What is the money you need when you wear clothes, weapons, eat, drink, live, sleep, and just wipe your butt?

Go forward lightly, it’s easy to say!

Shang Kexi insisted on his opinion and said that this time he went to fight Jiannu and the Jinzhou soldiers to fight, at best, it was a helping hand. Maybe even if you rushed over, there would be no war to fight, so everyone could just live up to their face. It would be impossible to blame if the military period was really missed. Who made the wind and snow so hard?

"Second, what are you talking nonsense?"

Shang Kejin was angry when he asked his younger brother, "Eunuch Wei once said that if one day my Ming Dynasty really wanted to destroy Jiannu, it would be a war that was related to the fate of the country, and it would not be a matter of any family or family. At that time, our Liaodong land will not be divided into north and south, and people will not be divided into old and young, and will all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the enemy! If anyone has selfish intentions and makes the Jiannu become stronger, then there will be no inch of land in Liaodong!”

After saying that, he said to his father Shang Xueli: "Father, it has been more than 30 years since you moved from the inner palace to Liaodong. My Shang family has been rooted in this Liaodong and regards Liaodong as the land of our ancestors. Now that there is something wrong in Liaodong, it is because my ancestors' land. Is my father willing to let Jiannu take over the land of our ancestors?"

"Of course, the land of the ancestors cannot be called Jiannu!"

Shang Xueli laughed, "My son of Shang Xueli can be so bold. How can I, a father, be worse than my son!"

After saying that, he pointed at the officers on both sides and left and right: "Go, let the brothers unload the baggage and move forward lightly! No matter how big the wind and snow are, even if it is a knife in the sky, my sons from Jinzhou will come on schedule!"

"Get orders!"

The officers on both sides immediately went to execute the orders. After a while, the officers and soldiers threw away the baggage and continued to move forward in the wind and snow.

In this way, the Jinzhou Army traveled for another three days. Although the snow and snow stopped during these three days, it was difficult for the Jinzhou Army to replenish supplies due to the loss of supplies.

There were no big towns along the way, and only one hundred households barely supported some food, which made the officers and soldiers of Jinzhou rush to the road half-starved.

Fortunately, the father and son of the Shang family were like the officers and soldiers, especially the Shangke, who ate and lived with the officers and soldiers, and walked with the officers and soldiers, so that the Jinzhou was extremely concentrated without complaints.

On this day, when the Jinzhou army reached the Anping Mountain area, which was only more than 100 miles away from Dingliao Acropolis, they encountered another army on the way.

The Jinzhou officer in front of him reported his identity and asked the other party that he reported himself from Pijima, and the leader was Deputy General Taro Higashimura.

When the Jinzhou officer wondered who the deputy general of Dongcun was, Shang Kejin, the eldest son of the guerrilla master behind, was about to run away and shouted to the other party: "But Dongcunjun!"

"All of you can enter you!"

A hearty laughter came from the Ming army opposite, "It's been almost the year since Yizhou left, but you're fine!"

Accompanied by laughter, the commander of the Pidao garrison and the Emperor's personal army, Taro Higashimura, and the four generals of his troops, Da Yinbu, Niu Zhu, Hulihai, and Feigulun arrived happily.

"loyalty!"

The generals of Pidao immediately greeted Shangke. Under his father's confused gaze, Shangkejin also raised his right arm to mid-air and said excitedly: "Loyalty!"

"Mr. Jiang from Liaoyang said that Jinzhou and our Pi Island were all under General Liu's command. At that time, I decided that Ke Jinjun would definitely come with the army. When it comes to killing Jiannu, Jinjun was following the lord's slash!"

Taro Higashimura jumped down from his horse and went to the front of the Shang family's father and son. Shang Kejin hurriedly introduced Higashimura to his father.

When he heard that Dongcun was a Japanese general under the command of Eunuch Wei, Shang Xueli immediately paid tribute. After both sides made some polite decisions, they saw that the officers and soldiers of Jinzhou were not good-looking, and the team did not bring supplies and food. Dongcun was very surprised and asked that it was Jinzhou's side who abandoned supplies and came lightly for the sake of rushing the army. Dongcun immediately respected and ordered Hu Lihai to divide the food and food into the Jinzhou side.

Shang Xueli hurriedly said: "How can you be so embarrassed? This place is not far from Dingliao City. After our troops enter the city, General Liu will be assigned by himself."

"Mr. Shang doesn't have to be polite to me. I have a good relationship with Ke Jin. Lord. Shang is like my father. It is natural for me to be filial to my father in China. Lord. Please don't refuse!"

With the intention of Dongcun, Shang Xueli took over the food and grass from the Pidao Army. Jinzhou was inspired. He buried the pot and rice with the Pidao Army. After eating, he rushed to Dingliao City together.

On the way, I saw that the officers and soldiers of the Pidao Army were all leggings, cotton coats, and cotton armor. Not only were the weapons and equipment more advanced than Jinzhou, but the military appearance and discipline were also solid. Shang Xueli couldn't help but admire the ability of Dongcun to manage the army.

"My father didn't know that it was not because the East Village had the ability to manage the army, but because the imperial army was one, and each unit was practiced according to the "Infantry Practice" taught by Eunuch Wei. Each unit seemed to be a whole, unmoving as a mountain, invading as fire, and its sprinting as forest, and its speed was as fast as the wind. It was not the rest of our dynasty that the army was the best in the world than Eunuch Wei."

When Shang Kejin mentioned Eunuch Wei, he really looked admirable.

"No matter how capable you are, you are just a eunuch." Shang Kexi disagreed.

"What do you know?"

Shang Xueli glared at his second son and scolded: "You should not behave like a person, nor should you be disabled and despise others. Eunuch Wei is close to you and raises relatives. People with great perseverance are more rare to have such a strong military ability and should be valued by the emperor. We must have a good relationship with such people and must not be enemies with them, otherwise they will cause a big disaster for the family."

After saying that, he reminded the second son earnestly not to forget the incident of Mr. Li Qi.

Shang Kexi was stunned and his heart was also shocked. Yes, the eunuch Wei could even tie up the seventh prince of Ning Yuanbo to blackmail. After that, not only did he lose his hair, but he became bigger and bigger, becoming the eunuch in Liaodong. Such a person could not be underestimated by him.

"If you have the chance, I have to ask Eunuch Wei for more advice and military management skills."

He still learned etiquette and wanted to be honest and thought that eunuchs were like this. This hero of the world is afraid that Duke Wei is the one who belongs to him.

Two days later, the Jinzhou Army and the Pidao Army finally arrived at the Dingliao Acropolis as scheduled. Liu Jing also led his troops to Dingliao City at this time.

Kang Yingqian, deputy envoy of the military supervising Haigai Bing, was originally Shang Xueli's Shangguan, so as soon as the Jinzhou army entered the city, Kang Yingqian came to meet him. After knowing that the Jinzhou side lacked food and grass because they were on the road, Kang immediately asked someone to transfer food and grass.

Later, Katsura took Nagasueri and Taro Higashimura from the Pijima Army to meet Liu Jue.

Liu Jing, who was busy with military affairs, expressed satisfaction with the two armies being able to arrive on time. After a few words of mercy, he asked Shang and Dongcun to listen to the military inspector's arrangements to set up camp and when will they go to the military order of Juhou. During this period, he did not show any strangeness or displeasure towards the Japanese general Taro Tomura.

Afterwards, Shang Xueli learned that there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers under General Liu's command, all of which were brought back from North Korea by General Liu.

After Taro Higashimura led his troops to settle down in Dingliao City, he privately went to find the Japanese soldiers under General Liu to reminisce about the past.

After these veterans of the Japanese invading troops gathered together, they naturally felt a lot of vicissitudes. After hearing from Higashimura that Guan Bai died early, the shogunate established by Tokugawa had been defeated by the imperial army. Now that the new Japanese country has been reborn and participated in this battle to fight slavery, the Japanese soldiers under Liu Jing were excited and crying.

The reason is that there is hope for returning to China.

After waiting in Dingliao City for several days, the army was slow to go on the expedition. Shang Xueli went to the military supervisor Kang Yingqian to inquire. It turned out that General Liu was waiting for the soldiers from Sichuan.

Because he had been in Sichuan for a long time, Liu Jing liked to use Sichuan soldiers, but the Sichuan soldiers were too far away and could not reach Liaodong according to the deadline of the Ministry of War.

After two days of this, the Sichuan soldiers still had not arrived. Liaoyang urged troops to order the company to arrive, so Liu Jing had to lead the army to fight.

Liu Jing's march route was dangerous and far away, with mountains and mountains, and the cavalry could not form a formation. Four days later, Liu's army stationed in Shenhe, and Taro Dongmura asked to be the vanguard. He defeated Niumao and Ma's two Jiannu enemy camps, killing more than 200 Jiannu.

This battle was the first victory in Pingnu's war.

After that, Liu's troops continued to advance towards Heituara. The Jinzheng and Huangqi team defended Dong'e Road. When they heard that the Ming army had arrived, Niu Lu'er was determined to fight.

Liu Shi ordered Zhou Wen, the commander of the Shandong Metropolitan Commander and Yao Guofu, the commander of the Sixth Battalion of Nanjing, to lead troops to surround the Jin army. The Jin army was outnumbered, and two officers were lost, fifty people were injured, and the rest broke through and fled.
