Chapter 2561 The First Warrior Division encountered difficulties

If the generals in the Ming army wanted to maintain their power, they mostly rely on their personal soldiers and servants.

The uncle and nephew of the Cao family are all famous generals in Liaodong. In addition to their own bravery, they also raised many Cao family soldiers who are fearless.

This time, when I came to the Guanning Army from Liaodong to fight, I brought some of the Guanning Army around me, including more than 100 cavalrymen.

Although these Guanning Army were not personal soldiers, their personal bravery was no worse than personal soldiers.

"General, eat something!"

A personal soldier took two freshly baked cakes and handed them to Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao respectively.

Cao Wenzhao took the cake, put it beside his mouth and blew it, then broke a small piece with his hands and put it in his mouth to chew it.

Cao Bianjiao beside him became much more rough. He took the cake and took it directly to his mouth and bit it. From time to time, he picked up the kettle and drank a sip of water to go with the food in his mouth.

"General, is this not the direction to Laizhou? Where are we going?" The personal soldiers handed over a kettle filled with clear water and put it to Cao Wenzhao's hand.

Apart from the camp, they were all the way, and these personal soldiers and servants knew nothing except that they found that they did not walk to Laizhou.

I finally stopped and started to rest in my eyes, and finally had time to ask.

Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything, but Cao Bianjiao, who was beside him, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I won't go to Laizhou anymore. I will take you to do another thing this time."

"What else can be more important than dealing with the tiger thieves in Laizhou? Can General Cao talk to the young man?" The personal soldiers came to Cao Bianjiao's side and asked curiously.

The relationship between personal soldiers and their generals is often closer than that of the generals.

Cao Bianjiao didn't take it seriously. While eating cakes, he said, "Mr. Fu specially arranged for my uncle to take us to attack the tiger thief's food route. As long as the tiger thief's food route is cut off, the crisis in Laizhou will naturally be

To resolve it, do you think it is important or not."

The personal soldier nodded vigorously with an agreement.

For him, sneak attacks on the food roads are safer than facing the soldiers and horses with the tiger flag.

Moreover, they were all cavalry this time, and they could evacuate as soon as possible even when they encountered danger.

The uncle and nephew of the Cao family stayed here for half a stick of incense and set off again.

In order to catch your opponent off guard, the uncle and nephew of the Cao family did not even enter the city. They walked all the way outside the city, and tried not to alarm more people as much as possible.

It was a few days later that the tiger flag learned about the Cao family’s uncle and nephew.

A convoy of grain trucks from the Tiger Flag to Laizhou was robbed in the Guishan area.

The first person to be reported by the grain team was Yu Huai stationed in Qufu.

Fu Zonglong made a move to send troops to support Laizhou in Jinan Prefecture, which really deceived many people. The tiger flag did not expect that he would build a plank road openly and secretly travel to Chencang.

He openly sent a large army to rescue Laizhou, but secretly used the tiger flag to attack the food road.

When Yu Huaigang learned that something happened to the grain channel, his first reaction was that he did not believe it, but as more and more information received, he had to believe that his grain channel was threatened by the Ming army.

He is a deputy battalion commander of the First Battle Soldier Division.

The grain escort had such a big thing, and as the deputy battalion commander, he did not dare to be good at it. He immediately sent someone to send the news to the main force of Laizhou. At the same time, he also sent someone to notify another army stationed in Yanzhou Prefecture of the Tiger Banner.

Be prepared.

It was already a day later when the main business of the Tiger Banner of Laizhou received news of the accident in the grain channel.

As soon as Chen Xunping received the news, he immediately found Sun Chuang, the deputy camp commander.

"Look at it! This is the news I just sent." Chen Xunping handed a document to Sun Chuang, who had just returned from outside.

Sun Chuang reached out to take the document, looked through it, and his brows immediately frowned.

"The thing we were worried about at the beginning finally happened. The disadvantage of the front being too long was completely exposed to the Ming army's nose." Sun Chuang said with an ugly face.

When they decided to attack Denglai directly, they had already predicted that the grain channel was too long and the Ming army would easily catch this loophole.

Chen Xunping pursed his lips and said, "This Fu Zonglong still had a few tricks. He just came here and took the blame for us. He thought he was here to reinforce Laizhou, but he didn't expect to play a secret trip to Chen Cang. He really can't underestimate these military affairs.

The minister of the Ming Dynasty.”

"It's too late to say this. Now I'll think about how to solve the problem. Although it's robbed once, it doesn't have much impact on the army attacking Laizhou, if I come a few more times, the army will be greatly affected.

It is very likely that he will fail and have to withdraw his troops." Sun Chuang showed concern on his face.

There is another thing he didn't say.

Once they retreated from Laizhou, they would set a precedent for the first time to lose to the Ming army by the Tiger Flag, which would have a greater impact than the food road being cut off.

Hearing this, Chen Xunping looked at the map on the wall and looked thoughtful.

He also thought of what Sun Chuang didn't say.

Moreover, the decision to quickly advance the attack on Denglai was to insist on it. Once the war failed, as the head coach and decision-maker of the army, he would bear the main responsibility.

More importantly, it will delay the time when the Tiger Flag takes over Denglai and opens the Lushun channel.

Sun Chuang did not disturb Chen Xunping.

The problem of food channels cannot be solved. Even if Denglai is taken down, the Ming army can still threaten the food channels behind the tiger flag army.

"After all, we have too few troops. On the one hand, we have to garrison the local area to maintain local stability, and on the other hand, we have to attack Denglai. The troops are a little short of strength. If this problem is not solved, even if the problem of food channels is temporarily solved, it will soon be

Exposed." Chen Xunping looked at the map in front of him and his eyebrows were frowned.

Although the First War Army retreated from Henan, Shandong also accounts for a large proportion of the Ming Dynasty and has a large population. The army of Tiger Flag entered several sides of Shandong to defend against the enemy, which was more pressure than when attacking Henan.

"Otherwise, ask Li Futai to transfer some troops from Henan to maintain the food route." Sun Chuang suggested.

Chen Xunping stared at several places on the map, thought for a while, and said, "It is too slow to draw troops from Henan. The distance cannot quench the near thirst, which can easily delay our war in Laizhou. When I think about solving the problem of food channels, I still

We must find a way from Shandong and draw troops from Henan to Shandong, which can only be used as an alternative."

In his opinion, it is okay to use the troops in Henan to support Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong or the prefectures and counties on the west side of Yanzhou Prefecture. If you want to directly participate in the war in Laizhou, the distance is too far, for Laizhou

The army of tiger flags is not very helpful.

"The troops in Henan are not good, so let Chief of Staff Qin come back. He still has a troops in his hand, so it should be fine to protect the food route, and the distance is not too far." Sun Chuang mentioned Qin Rong.

In order to ensure the smooth attack on Laizhou, Qin Rong took a group of troops from the First Battle Division to the Zaozhuang area to guard against the Ming army from the Southern Zhili.
