Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167 Moved to Shandong ([-])

Hearing what Zhao Erbao said, Sun Zhi also hesitated.Looking at Zhao Erbao like this, I'm afraid seeing food is like a starved ghost reincarnated.I don't have much food reserves, if this group of people consume it desperately, what will my subordinates do?However, now is the time to make good friends with the Yuyuan Army, and just use the power of the Yuyuan Army to break into Shandong. How can the two sides be separated because of a little food?

So, in the end, Sun Zhi could only reluctantly agree.As expected, Zhao Erbao and his team of less than a hundred people actually ate dry food for 300 people, which was more than three people each.And this is just one meal, what about the next meal?

"With the addition of this group of Yuyuan troops, our food problem has become more serious, and it will be difficult to sustain it for three days. So we have to send troops to Shandong as soon as possible, and replenish supplies immediately after entering Caozhou Mansion." Sun Zhi said to Ma Lin .

On the second day, Sun Zhi led his soldiers and horses around Ningling City without touching Guidefu City, and directly crossed the provincial border and arrived at the Shandong border.

Under the leadership of Zhao Erbao, a local, Sun Zhi came to Wanglu Town.There are several landlords in Wanglu Town, and the family has a lot of surplus food.So, Sun Zhi replenished supplies in Wanglu Town and stopped temporarily.

The urgent problem of the food problem has been solved temporarily, but what is the next step?Where should we go?

Now Sun Zhi is taking one step at a time, he can only take care of the present and then consider the next.

With the support of Zhao Erbao, the little leader of the Yuyuan Army, Sun Zhi learned a lot of information about the Caozhou Mansion, and he was no longer blind-eyed as before.

Now that the Yuyuan Army uprising has been put down, and Shanxi is in a hurry, many soldiers and horses in Shandong have been transferred away.Although there are still quite a few Tartars in Caozhou Prefecture, they are all in the northern part of Caozhou Prefecture, deploying heavy troops from Caozhou City to Yuncheng to reduce the space for the Yuyuan Army in the north.On the contrary, in the south of Caozhou Prefecture, the troops are relatively empty.

At this time, there were still more than 4000 people in the Second Battalion, and the market town could only make up for the supplies for a while, and it would definitely not be enough after a long time.Now, the Second Battalion must lay down the county town as its own base.

If he wanted to fight the county seat, he naturally had to go to Zhao Erbao.

"Brother Zhao, do you still have people in Cao County?" Sun Zhi asked.

Hearing Sun Zhi's words, Zhao Erbao's face darkened for a moment, as if thinking of the sad past, and then he said.

"When our Yuyuan army rebelled, we also attacked Cao County, but we failed for a while, and the army horses of the Tartars came and surrounded Caozhou. Although we did not capture Cao County, the northern section of Cao County The city wall was demolished by us, and a large section of the wall fell down, maybe the Tartars haven't repaired it yet."

Sun Zhi was not as optimistic as Zhao Erbao. He thought that the tartar must have been repaired, but the newly repaired one must not be as strong as the original one.After defeating the Yuyuan Army, the local Tartar government certainly did not have much motivation to build the city wall.

"Brother Zhao, do you have any brothers you can trust? I want to get in touch with the Seventh Chief Ren and the Seventh Chief Zhang of your Yuyuan Army. When the Second Battalion of our security regiment takes down Cao County, the Tartars will definitely transfer from Caozhou In this way, the oppression of the Tartars on the area from Puzhou to Fan County will definitely be reduced, and that is the chance for your Yuyuan Army to come out again. I want to join hands with your Yuyuan Army to fight against the Tartars." Sun Zhi looked at Zhao Erbao and said.

Seeing what Sun Zhi said, Zhao Erbao's heart beat violently.There was nothing he could do to leave the Yuyuan Army and the land where he was born and raised with his subordinates.It's not that he doesn't want to resist the Tartars, it's not that he wants to leave his hometown, it's just that he can't stay here any longer.The search by the Tartars became more and more strict, and some hidden brothers were all secreted.He was disappointed in the future and had no hope for the Yuyuan Army, so he chose to leave.

It's just that when he saw the second battalion, he felt how strong the second battalion was.Zhao Erbao is also an old man. Although the regiments of the Second Battalion were all dusty and depressed when they first met, Zhao Erbao could feel a sense of bloodthirsty and sharpness from the eyes of these regiments.Looking at it, Zhao Erbao couldn't help but shudder and panicked.These regiments must have killed people, and they can only be trained by killing many people.This is a group of murderous people, any one of them is stronger than this little leader.Even though he was tall and burly, his murderous aura was not as good as that of a small soldier.

Therefore, Zhao Erbao was very optimistic about the second battalion, and even looked forward to joining the second battalion, but Sun Zhi kept silent, and he was embarrassed to mention it.It's just that Zhao Erbao didn't know that Sun Zhi didn't dare to take him under his command at will, because that might cause misunderstandings by the Yuyuan Army.Because Zhao Erbao and his team of less than a hundred people caused misunderstandings between the two sides, it was not worth it.

"Since Battalion Commander Sun intends to form an alliance with the Yuyuan Army, I should go there by myself. I can go to fight Cao County with my subordinates. I think that Battalion Commander Sun's troops are all elite divisions. Chief Zhang will definitely agree."

"Okay, okay. With Brother Zhao as the leader, this matter will definitely be accomplished, so it will be hard work for Brother Zhao." Sun Zhi said excitedly.

Although my uprising in Cao County would attract attacks from the Tartars, giving Ren Qi, Zhang Qi and others the opportunity to jump out seemed like making wedding clothes for others in vain.However, if Ren Qi and Zhang Qi can take advantage of the trend to make waves in Caozhou Mansion again, they can also reduce the pressure on themselves in turn. An enemy's enemy is a friend.In case Ren Qi and Zhang Qi don't come out to stir up trouble, then I'm not at a loss, since I'm going to fight Cao County anyway.Caozhou Prefecture is located at the junction of Shandong, Henan, Zhili, and Jiangnan provinces, and it is a good place.Sitting in Caozhou Prefecture, you can send troops to any province you want to fight in the future, and if you send too many troops to any province, you can go to other provinces.

"Commander Sun, then I will take my leave. For such a big event, the sooner it is possible, the sooner it will be."

"Okay, brother Zhao, then you can go." Sun Zhi said, holding Zhao Erbao tightly, and said sincerely.

"Be careful on the road, bring more people, it's safer."

"No need, I'll just take two people with me. If there are too many people, it may not be safe, and it will attract the attention of the Tartars. Then I will go."

"Brother Zhao, take care! Please be sure to tell the two chiefs that the Tartars are the great enemy of the nation, and they are the life and death enemies of the Yuyuan Army and our security regiment. We must join forces to fight!"

After Zhao Erbao explained his whereabouts to his subordinates and told him to listen to Battalion Commander Sun in everything, he left with his two subordinates.After watching Zhao Erbao leave, Sun Zhi immediately put away the reluctant parting expression on his face, turned his head and said to Ma Lin.

"Hurry up and prepare for the war. The troops will leave Cao County tomorrow. There are a few fish that slipped through the net when cleaning up Wanglu Town. I'm afraid Cao County has already learned of our existence."

Ma Lin nodded and stepped back.

In the early morning of the second day, all the soldiers and horses of the Second Battalion went out together, and under the leadership of Zhao Erbao's subordinates, they headed towards Cao County, fifty miles away to the northwest.

After marching all the way, the second battalion arrived at the city of Cao County in the afternoon of the same day, and then began to attack the city.First, they made a lot of noise, and then quickly dug up the soil under the newly repaired wall in Cao County.The poor repair of the city wall and the loosening of the foundation had been destroyed by the Yuyuan army, so that the second battalion dug the city wall down in one fell swoop, and the follow-up troops rushed into the city along the gap.

On February 25, the sixth year of Huaxing, the Second Battalion captured Cao County, occupied the first county seat in Shandong, and opened up the first base area.
