At this time, although it has been five or nine days, the weather is still extremely cold, and glistening ice and ice cubes can be seen everywhere on the sea surface.
It seems to be even colder than in previous years.
Fortunately, the route from Changsheng Island to Gaizhou was already very familiar, and the bad weather did have some impact on Li Yuanqing’s trip. However, on the evening of the tenth day of the first month, the fleet successfully arrived outside Gaizhou.
After the trip, Li Yuanqing carried a large number of war horses, more than 2,000 of which accounted for almost half of all the war horses in Li Yuanqing.
A line of people came to the city on horseback to take good care of their horses by auxiliary soldiers. Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng, who are on duty here, followed Li Yuanqing to Gaizhou Guanting to report the latest situation to Li Yuanqing.
Gaizhou City is a big city in Liaoning Province.
But after years of war, this place has long been deserted.
Even after Li Yuanqing occupied it, there were troops stationed here and many auxiliary soldiers were sent to farm wasteland here, but it was still too humble compared with Gaizhou’s flat and wide land.
Looking around by sunset, everything seems a little desolate and there is not much vitality.
Li Yuanqing heart also some could not say the taste.
At this time, his longevity camp, although the soldiers are strong and Ma Zhuang has abundant financial resources and materials, has a congenital disadvantage here. His population is still too small!
The former Li Yuanqing always wanted to expand his army and continue to expand its strength, but even the coastal areas were desolate all the way, which also made Li Yuanqing have a deeper understanding.
According to the state of belligerence in Liaoning at this time, it is by no means a wise choice!
Guanting side is very neat. The original broken weeds have disappeared from the gate, which is quite magnificent.
However, when I got inside, I found that it was just a treasure, and there was no human and financial support. Many houses were not fully rested, but some superficial efforts made people worry.
Fortunately, the problem here in the main hall of Guanting is not big, and the warm brazier lit inside dispels the cold outside. As soon as you enter the room, there are two worlds outside.
A group of people sat down with Qinbing offering hot tea. Duan Xi-liang said, "The account of King Huang Taiji, the general’s slave chieftain, arrived earlier today, just 15 miles away from us. They came with more than a dozen cows."
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly.

A sip of tea "Is the meeting place confirmed?"
Li Sansheng was busy: "After the general noon, Jin Jun sent an envoy. After the two sides are negotiating, Jin Jun hopes that the general can go to Xiaosongpo, ten miles away from the north of Gaizhou, but the terrain of Xiaosongpo is too flat. If the Dalai Lama has evil intentions, we can’t deal with it. Brother Duan and I agree that we’d better choose Majiaao, northeast of Gaizhou."
Li Sansheng said that he was busy taking out a simple map from his arms and continued to explain to Li Yuanqing: "General Majiaao is surrounded by dense forests on both sides. Although the terrain is slow, we can’t stand it if we want to be stuck in the middle. Whether we attack or retreat, we have sufficient choices and room."
Li Yuanqing carefully observed a map and nodded slowly. "It is impossible to harm people’s hearts, but you can’t meet them on this trip. You must be prepared for the week to ensure that the brothers have a safe retreat."
"Yes!"
Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng quickly nodded.
Li Yuanqing’s attitude then looked at Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng with a slow smile. "The brothers will go to the brothers’ morale before the end of this year?"
Duan Xiliang said with a smile: "The morale of the generals is very high and they are looking forward to Huang Taiji being too honest!"
Li Yuanqing laughed: "Very good! Xiliang Sansheng is finished with this side, and our horse will rush to Liaodong! You should get ready as soon as possible! "
"Yes!"
On the 19th day of the first month, the two sides wrangled for an afternoon. Finally, 8 Jin J also agreed to set the meeting place in Majiaao, northeast of Gaizhou City.
Li Yuanqing spent the whole day in the army visiting soldiers and meeting them to appease the brothers and boost their morale.
From noon, soldiers from both sides went to Majiaao to camp at the designated place.
The 20th day of the first month came soon, and the flag of Huang Taiji, the handsome flag of Li Yuanqing, had arrived at the designated place.
The two sides camped about three miles apart, and the fortification site was just at the end of two forests.
After several negotiations between the two sides, the two sides reached an agreement at about ten o’clock. Li Yuanqing and Huang Taiji each took ten relatives to meet in the middle area ahead, and the two sides set up a camp together.
With the rising of semaphores from both sides, Li Yuanqing took Duan Xiliang, Niu Gensheng, Shun, and Jin Hui, six elite Qinbing and one Sanma, and quickly ran to the camp.
At the same time, the late Jin Xintian Conghan Huang Taiji was also coming here accompanied by ten pro-health slaves.
It’s sunny today, but the wind is still strong, especially in this forest. It’s the wind that hisses. The north wind is like a knife!
A mile and a half is just a flash in the pan for riding a horse.
Li Yuanqing soon saw a yellow robe, riding on a tall brown horse, and Huang Taiji was fat.
And Huang Taiji soon saw Li Yuanqing riding on a tall Zhui horse in a bright red robe.
Both of them are not wearing real armor, but Li Yuanqing is wearing three layers of fine leather armor. It is estimated that Huang Taiji is almost the same, and the whole person is particularly obese
Soon the horses on both sides came face to face.
Li Yuanqing pulled the reins and smiled and looked at Huang Taiji more than ten paces ahead. "I’ve heard so much about Khan!"
Huang Taiji’s face was a little weathered and looked gaunt and tired, but when he heard Li Yuanqing’s words, he couldn’t help laughing: "Li Junmen, your name is going to grind calluses out of my ears!"
Two people glance at each other is not laughed.
For a moment, Li Yuanqing laughed: "Please sweat!"
Huang taiji smiled and said, "Let’s go together!"
Li Yuanqing was not polite and rode straight to the camp side by side with Huang Taiji.
While two people behind the entourage is like a needle to wheat mans intensely staring at each other, even if the other party is a blink also never dare to relax.
Come to the camp

Li Yuanqing and Huang Taiji turned their horses at the same time. According to the previous consultation, each of them left three followers to guard the horses, and each of them brought seven relatives into the account.
But at this time, the theory is that both of them are very nervous about which side will suddenly attack and hurt others, and neither side dares to move first in this handover link outside the account.
Huang Taiji couldn’t help laughing: "Don’t be nervous. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to go off. Ao Bai Dasu, you should clean up first."
"Zha!"
Huang taiji’s two young men, who were extremely tough, wore white armor inside and yellow jacket outside, took the lead in turning over Manu language and commanding them to follow the horse to clean up.
