As the governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng has been working hard to suppress bandits in the past six months and has not had a good meal in a long time.

Today the Crown Prince treated them to eight simple dishes, which were far different from the daily meals eaten by corrupt officials and noble gentry.

But Lu Xiangsheng felt that the taste of these dishes was extremely delicious, and it was even the best meal they had eaten in many years.

Although he is a civil servant, the state shown by Lu Xiangsheng is no different from that of a martial artist. Cao Huachun is stunned as he eats and eats. Is this still a Jinshi?

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about that much. He believed that meals should be taken care of quickly during wartime, and he should be well fed and drunk to prepare for battle.

If you chew slowly and slowly like ordinary literati, the bandits will have disappeared long ago by the time you finish your meal.

After eating three large bowls in one go, Lu Xiangsheng put down his bowls and chopsticks and said with a smile:

"It tastes so good. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. I request you to lead the Tianxiong army to Baodi to kill Jiannu immediately!"

Zhu Cixi liked such straightforward people. During the war, everything was kept simple. There was no need to be pretentious. He nodded and said:

"Lu Qing will go back to the army to prepare. There are more than 30,000 slaves in Baodi. I will not let Lu Qing and the Tianxiong army put themselves in danger. In half an hour, the whole army will set off together!"

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly bowed and accepted the order:

"As ordered, I will retire!"

Half an hour later, all Ming armies set up camp and set off towards Baodi.

Zu Dale and Meng Ruhu led their men to open the way in front, Weiwuying, Longteng Army and Tianxiong Army were in the middle. Yan Shuangying led Datong soldiers and Wang Wannian led Shandong soldiers to escort the baggage behind. Dong Yongwen and others led their men to follow closely.

The total strength of the Ming army reached as many as 70,000, and they launched a mighty force in Baodi.

Lu Xiangsheng had heard about the performance of the Crown Prince's East Palace Guards for a long time, and to be honest, he was very confused.

Jiannu has long been a trend, and they have never lost a battle against the Ming army in recent years. He didn't know what method the East Palace Guards could use to kill such a powerful Jiannu Eight Banners Army.

When the army set off, Lu Xiangsheng paid special attention to the accompanying Ming army.

Although the morale of King Qin's soldiers and horses was good, their ranks were skewed and they chatted while marching, as if they were going to the market. It was not like they were about to go to the battlefield and fight to the death with Jiannu.

When I looked at the Tianxiong Army that I had trained for many years, I saw that the morale of the Tianxiong Army was high and everyone was in high spirits. They lined up neatly in a long line and marched forward quickly. At first glance, they looked like a strong army.

When he looked at the National Protector Army under the Crown Prince, Lu Xiangsheng, who had experienced many battles, immediately discovered the difference between the National Protector Army and other Ming armies.

Whether it was the Mighty Battalion or the Tigers, Leopards and Dragons, all the soldiers of the National Defense Army were arranged neatly in a row of five. They looked at each other and walked almost in unison. No one talked to each other. Only the armor on their bodies made a clanging sound as they moved.

"suck……"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. He felt that although such a march looked mighty, the soldiers must be very hard. The National Guard Army might have to stop and rest ten miles before continuing on the road.

"The Crown Prince is still young and vigorous. Apart from being good-looking, doing this does not seem to be of any help to the march and fighting. How did they kill so many Jiannu Eight Banners soldiers? Could it be that the muskets on their backs often exploded?"

Lu Xiangsheng became more and more confused.

Tianxiong's army often chased and fought with rogue bandits in the mountains, and they had long developed a strong physique. However, after marching for thirty miles in a hurry, they gradually showed signs of fatigue.

At this time, King Qin's men were even more staggering, and many soldiers kept crying out that they were tired.

However, the National Protectorate Army was still marching rapidly. They did not even lose their formation. They always maintained the same formation as when they set out. Although there were beads of sweat falling on their faces, they did not show any signs of fatigue.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng finally changed his initial view of the National Guard Army, and his doubts turned into admiration, considering that the crown prince was only seven years old.

"I have misunderstood the Crown Prince. Such an army is absolutely powerful. It seems that I will ask His Highness for training techniques in the future!"

…

After Zhu Cixiang led the army to Baodi, the slaves in Baodi were not idle either.

At the suggestion of Zhengbai Banner Jia La E Zhen Asan, Azige, the king of Jiannu Wuying County, was also preparing to escort supplies and people to leave Baodi first, planning to exit the customs through Lengkou.

After all, there were a lot of looted materials and people. Azig prepared for a whole day before leading his army to leave Baodi.

He himself led the 3,000 men and horses of Zhengbai Banner under his command to clear the way in front, followed by Jalā Ezhennikan, 12,000 men and horses of Xiangbai Banner to escort supplies and 80,000 Han people.

When leaving Baodi, the abducted people cried loudly, and many began to run away desperately.

However, facing more than 10,000 slaves from the Eight Banners and the Two Tatars, these people had no hope of escaping. At least 2,000 people were killed as enemies, and only then tens of thousands of people were suppressed.

Lengkou is about 300 miles away from Baodi. Jiannu moved very slowly with a lot of supplies and people. It is estimated that it will take more than ten days to completely get out of the customs.

In order to get out of the customs smoothly, Azig asked Ah San of Baodi to hold on for at least half a month before leaving. He believed that the 20,000 Qing Eight Banners could hold off the Ming Army for three months without any problem.

As soon as Azig left Baodi, he was discovered by the National Guard Army at night. They immediately sent the news about the slaves' escort supplies and people out of customs to the crown prince...

At a water source more than fifty miles away from Baodi, Zhu Cihong ordered the team to stop making fire for cooking. He, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Yingyuan and others were discussing how to attack Baodi.

Suddenly a fast horse stopped not far away, and a National Guard soldier ran up to Zhu Cihong and saluted him:

"Your Highness, urgent military information, the Jiannu slaves have left Baodi with a huge amount of supplies and people, and they are very likely to leave the customs and return to Liaodong!"

"What? Jiannu has left Baodi, and His Highness asked the last general to go after Jiannu..."

Before Ye Buhui finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Yingyuan, Zhang Shize, Zhou Yuji and other generals stood up and asked for orders to hunt down the Jiannu, and they must snatch back the population and supplies.

However, several generals of King Qin did not dare to ask for orders to pursue Jiannu alone. They knew that leading their troops to chase Jiannu would mean sending them to death.

Zhu Cixiang was also puzzled. Isn't Prince Jiannu Wuying very good? Why didn't he fight with me for 300 rounds before escaping?

Historically, after the slaves were robbed and robbed, Azig came out of seclusion in a big way. In order to humiliate the Ming army, Azig deliberately left supplies and people behind, and had someone write a wooden sign that the officials would not send and put it at the intersection.

This time when Azig, the king of Wuying County was kidnapped, he also put supplies and people behind, but he did not dare to write a wooden sign saying that the officials would not send them.

Zhu Cihong knew that Jiannu could not walk quickly, so he smiled lightly and said:

"Don't be anxious, everyone. Jian Nu is moving slowly with a lot of supplies and a large number of people. He may not be able to get out of the customs in ten days. It will not be too late to destroy the Baodi defenders first and then pursue them."

Although the generals were worried about Jian Nu escaping, no one dared to question the Crown Prince's decision and all kept silent...

Baodi

After King Wuying left, Ah San immediately ordered the defense of Baodi to be strengthened. He would rather die in Baodi than to hold back the Ming army's pursuers.
