Wu Weiying didn't stay here for long. After settling this matter, Wu Weiying left with her people.
She didn't even go to the other four divisions of Haixi Jurchen.
Qi Jiguang sent Wu Weiying to Haixi Jurchen to destroy the alliance between Horqin and Haixi Jurchen.
As long as they fell out, nothing else mattered. If Yehe Tribe sided with Daming, the other three divisions might fight with Yehe Tribe.
Even if Horqin and Daming fought, they might not have the time to help Yehe.
As Wu Weiying returned to the northern army camp, Qi Jiguang's plan was completed.
Standing in front of the map, Qi Jiguang frowned and thought about how to fight this battle.
"Grand Marshal, Eunuch Chang of the Imperial Stables is here!" A guard walked in from the outside and bowed to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was slightly stunned. Zhang Cheng is here?
Then, Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "I will personally go to greet Eunuch Chang!" After saying that, he walked out.
After so many years, Qi Jiguang's attitude towards others had always been very low no matter when or where.
After Zhang Cheng saw Qi Jiguang, his face suddenly showed a smile and quickly said, "Greetings, Marquis!"
After the two people greeted each other, Zhang Cheng took out the imperial edict and read it.
This imperial edict was naturally the imperial edict that appointed Qi Jiguang as the commander of the three towns. It also personally ordered Qi Jiguang to preside over the battle of the northern border.
After getting this imperial edict, Qi Jiguang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Flipping through the imperial edict, Qi Jiguang pondered how he should fight this battle. Should he fight Chahar or Horqin?
Although Qi Jiguang looked like he wanted to form an alliance with Weng Gugu, Qi Jiguang had never given up on fighting Horqin.
Horqin was simply too close to his current position.
Once Horqin headed south, his side would immediately be in danger. He would be able to directly cut off the army's retreat route, which was extremely dangerous.
After pondering for a long time, Qi Jiguang tapped the map twice.
"Let's fight Horqin!"
After Qi Jiguang made up his mind, two groups of messengers set off.
Middle Road Corps Camp.
Li Chengliang listened to the report sent by Liao Zhong. Qi Jiguang sent people to the Yehe tribe. It seemed that he wanted to form an alliance with the Yehe tribe. Li Chengliang immediately frowned.
However, Li Chengliang was not angry. He knew the difference in status between him and Qi Jiguang.
If this lawsuit was brought to the emperor, he would not be able to win.
As for discussing with Dingguo Duke Xu Wenbi, Li Chengliang thought about it and gave up the idea.
Xu Wenbi probably did not even know what the Jurchen tribe was. In the eyes of this duke, what was the Jurchen tribe?
After sending away the messenger, Li Chengliang pondered how this matter would develop.
Speaking of which, Li Chengliang had a headache because Liaodong was his territory. If it was really messed up by Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiguang patted his butt and left, wouldn't I be the one to clean up the mess?
When Li Chengliang was in a dilemma, a guard came in from the outside.
"Daren, Dingguo Duke sent someone over. Please go over!" The guard said respectfully.
Li Chengliang nodded, then turned and walked toward Xu Wenbi's tent.
Entering Xu Wenbi's tent, Li Chengliang was surprised because there was another person here.
"You came?" After Xu Wenbi greeted him, he introduced, "This is Qi Jiguang's subordinate!"
Li Chengliang did not speak and waited for Xu Wenbi to explain to him.
"His Majesty has issued a decree to appoint Qi Jiguang as the commander of the three towns. He will be in charge of the three towns and will preside over the battle of the Beijiang." Xu Wenbi pointed to the man and said, "He is here to pass the order."
After listening to Xu Wenbi's words, Li Chengliang secretly sighed in his heart. Sure enough, the emperor still valued Qi Jiguang!
"What order does Grand Marshal have?" Li Chengliang asked.
At this time, there was naturally no such thing as disobeying the order. Li Chengliang did not have the courage to disobey the order in front of the battle. He felt that his neck was not so hard. Once he resisted, he would be finished.
"Grand Marshal Qi's order, Dingguo Duke Xu Wenbi will lead the army to defend this place, and Zongbing Li Chengliang will lead the cavalry to the north to meet with Grand Marshal."
Li Chengliang nodded, bowed and said, "Receive the order!"
After receiving the token, Li Chengliang said to Xu Wenbi, "Dingguo Duke, I'll leave this place to you!"
"Rest assured, Zongbing Li. Leave it to me!" Xu Wenbi replied with a smile.
In fact, the central army was very safe and close to Jinzhou. Even if someone came to attack, they could retreat if they could not win. Xu Wenbi did not think there would be any danger.
Although the cavalry had been transferred away, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers here.
After leaving Xu Wenbi's tent, Li Chengliang ordered twenty thousand cavalry and went straight to Qi Jiguang's camp.
Southern army camp.
Naturally, Zhang Weixian also received a military order, but it was different from the one Li Chengliang received. Zhang Weixian's order ordered him to advance west and press on Chahar, but not to fight.
There was only one purpose: to stop the enemy's reinforcements and prevent Chahar from running north to cause trouble.
As long as you keep an eye on Chahar and don't let him go out, you don't need to worry about anything else.
Zhang Weixian looked at the token in his hand with some reluctance, but in the end, he could only smile bitterly.
It was obvious that Qi Jiguang was making a big move in the north. The only one worthy of Qi Jiguang's attention was Horqin.
Zhang Weixian did not find it strange that Qi Jiguang wanted to make a move against Horqin.
Since Daming had decided to attack from the east, he naturally had to wipe them out. Otherwise, he could have just left the Great Wall and attacked Chahar. There was no need to make a detour to the east.
Of course, Zhang Weixian did not know that the reason they were moving from the east was because Zhu Yijun was going to fight a big battle there.
The cavalry led by Li Chengliang soon arrived at the northern army camp.
Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang were both famous generals of Daming, so they had many interactions.
When Qi Jiguang was the commander-in-chief of Ji Liao, the two had fought the barbarians together in Liaodong.
"Grand Marshal Qi!" Li Chengliang greeted Qi Jiguang with a smile as he walked into the tent.
Qi Jiguang got down from his seat and grabbed Li Chengliang's hand. He said warmly, "It's been so many years, but Ru Qi is still as elegant as ever!
Today, you and I will fight side by side again. What a joyous occasion! "
Seeing Qi Jiguang's attitude, Li Chengliang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Jiguang was still the same Qi Jiguang. He had not changed at all. The two talked about some old things, and Qi Jiguang turned the topic to the war. "A few days ago, I sent my men to Yehe."
"According to the report from my men, Ru Qi seems to have made a lot of arrangements in Jurchen!"
Li Chengliang was slightly stunned, and then said, "Grand Marshal sent people to Yehe?
How can I make any arrangements? It's just to maintain stability and stop them from making trouble. "
"Grand Marshal, you don't know, but none of the tribes in Liaodong are honest. They make trouble just because of a small matter. I am really tired. Grand Marshal, do you have a good plan?"
