Chapter 753 (1/2)

At that night, Xu Heizi left Changsheng island in a hurry and set foot on the journey south again.

The six relatives of the merchant sent Xu Heizi to the dock.

After all, it's an old brother.

Shang Laoliu also hoped that Xu Heizi could make a good use of the redemption trip Li Yuanqing gave him. As a big brother, he wanted to give him some more advice.

In the official hall, Li Yuanqing's side has been relaxed a lot.

After the initial anger, his heart returned to calm like water.

Problems, in fact, is not terrible, the key is that after problems arise, we must make a decision as soon as possible to solve the problems!

The problems encountered by Mr. Xu also made it clear to Li Yuanqing that it was not too long since the time when the martial arts were the most vocal.

…………

On the 14th of the first month of the seventh year of Tianqi, the eve of Shangyuan Festival.

Li Yuanqing said goodbye to his wives and concubines, and with his family camp and the elite of shunzi's 800 th regiment, he set foot on the fleet to Gaizhou.

Although Huang Taiji's voice is better than his singing, Li Yuanqing does not dare to neglect him in terms of safety.

However, Li Yuanqing is also very clear that it is very difficult to do Huang Taiji directly at this juncture.

Let's not say whether Li Yuanqing can do it or not. Even if Li Yuanqing has the ability to do away with Huang Taiji, it is obviously not a good opportunity.

Not to mention, the inherent mobility disadvantage, Li Yuanqing self-protection, want to do bow horse skilled Huang Taiji, that is almost as good as lottery tickets, absolutely impossible.

At this time, although it has been five or nine days, the weather is still very cold. On the sea surface, you can see white flowers of ice everywhere.

It seems to be even colder than in previous years.

Fortunately, the route from Changsheng island to Gaizhou was already very familiar. The bad weather did have some impact on the itinerary of Li Yuanqing and his party. However, in the evening of January 18, the fleet arrived outside Gaizhou smoothly.

In order to complete the meeting with Huang Taiji, Li Yuanqing carried a large number of horses, more than 2000, almost half of all his horses.

Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng, who are on duty here, follow Li Yuanqing to Gaizhou government hall and report the latest situation to Li Yuanqing.

Gaizhou city was originally a big city in Liao Dynasty.

But after years of war, this place has long been abandoned.

Even after Li Yuanqing's occupation, he sent garrisons and a lot of auxiliary soldiers here to open up wasteland and farm here, but compared with the flat and broad land of Gaizhou, it was still too humble.

By the setting sun, looking around, everywhere seems a bit bleak, not too much vitality.

Li Yuanqing also has some unspeakable taste in his heart.

At this time, although his long-term camp has strong troops and abundant financial resources and materials, its congenital disadvantage lies here. His population is still too small!

Originally, Li Yuanqing always wanted to expand the army and continue to expand his military strength, but all the way through, even in the coastal area, it was all desolate, which also gave Li Yuanqing a deeper insight.

According to the state of Liao at this time, militarism is not a wise choice!

On this side of the official hall, it is very neat and tidy. The weeds that used to be dilapidated have disappeared. The gate is quite magnificent.

However, when we got inside, we found that this was just outside the gold and jade, among which there was no support of human and financial resources. Many houses were not in perfect condition. They were just superficial skills, which made people worry.

Fortunately, the main hall of the official hall is not a big problem. There is a warm brazier inside, which dispels the cold outside. As soon as you enter the room, you will immediately be in two worlds with the outside.

A group of people sat down, and some of their relatives offered hot tea. Duan Xiliang said, ”general. The king's tent of the slave chieftain Huang Taiji arrived earlier today. It's only fifteen miles away from us. They have come to the village for more than ten thousand people. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded and slowly tasted a sip of tea. ”Has the meeting place been confirmed?”

Li Sansheng said, ”general. At noon, the Houjin army sent envoys, and we are negotiating. The later Jin army hoped that the general could go to xiaosongpo, ten miles north of Gaizhou City, but the terrain of xiaosongpo was peaceful. If Tartars had evil intentions, we would not be able to deal with it. Brother Duan and I agree that we'd better choose majiaao in the northeast of Gaizhou city. ”

As Li Sansheng said, he took out a simple map from his arms and continued to explain to Li Yuanqing, ”general. Although both sides of the land are slow, we can't stand the land between the East and the West. Whether we attack or retreat, we have plenty of choices and leeway

Li Yuanqing carefully observed the map and nodded slowly, ”it's impossible to harm people, but not to prevent people. We must be well prepared to ensure that the brothers have a safe way to retreat. ”

”Yes

Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng nodded quickly.Li Yuanqing's attitude then slowed down and looked at Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng with a smile, ”this year is not over. The brothers are going to fight. What's the morale of the brothers?”

Duan Xiliang said with a smile: ”general, the morale of the children is very high. I hope Huang Taiji is too honest

Li Yuanqing laughed: ”very good! Xiliang, Sansheng, we're going to Liaodong soon after we've dealt with this side! You should be ready as soon as possible! ”

”Yes

…………

On the 19th of the first month, the two sides argued for a whole morning. Finally, the later Jin army also agreed to set the meeting place in majiaao, northeast of Gaizhou city.

During the whole day, Li Yuanqing visited the army and met with the officers and men to calm the brothers and boost their morale.

Starting in the afternoon, officers and soldiers from both sides left for majiaao and camped at the designated place.

The 20th of the first month soon arrived. From 8:00 a.m., the commander-in-chief flag of Li Yuanqing and the Wang flag of Huangtaiji have all arrived at the designated place.

The two sides are about three miles apart. The encampment site is just the end of the two forests.

After several successive negotiations between the two sides, at about 10 o'clock, the two sides reached an agreement. Li Yuanqing and Huang Taiji, with ten relatives each, met in the front of the middle area and the camp set up by both sides.

With the rising of the banners of both sides, Li Yuanqing, with Duan Xiliang, Niu Gensheng, shunzi, Jin Huizi, and six elite soldiers, one man and three horses, rushed to the middle of the camp.
