"General, don't make fun of the officials..."

Seeing Gao Jie's face flushed with his face, Li Guodong couldn't help it even more.

"Don't worry, this time you will definitely be the main attacker. I will provide you with logistics in Qufu City. You don't have to worry about my affairs. All the attack on Tai'an Mansion will be handed over to you. I won't give you any credit."

Li Guodong said with a smile, he knew very well that it was really good for everyone, and it was just a tentative attack.

His Royal Highness's letter clearly stated that we should use Tai'an Prefecture to see the combat effectiveness in Shandong. If it is powerful, we have to plan separately. If it is not very combative, we must recover the entire Shandong.

What's more, as the main general here, no matter what kind of contributions Gao Jie has made, according to the rules of the court, Li Guodong can get a share of the pie. Isn't Shi Kefa an example?

During the last time when the Qufu Battle was back, Shi Kefa did not come to the front line, but after he did the logistics, he had no less of it after returning to Nanjing. Li Guodong is now the role of Shi Kefa.

"What did the adults say... I didn't mean that."

After being told through his little thoughts, Gao Jie also felt a little uncomfortable on his face, but he felt happy in his heart. Li Guodong was a man who was open and honest in his work. Since he said that, he would definitely hand over the main attack task to him.

"Don't waste time with me. Go down and assemble the army and distribute ammunition to them. Remember what His Royal Highness said about using the new army in large quantities, especially those who have just come down from the training ground. This is a rare opportunity to train. Find a good day and rush up immediately. The information we have received is that Tai'an Mansion has at most five thousand defenses, and most of them are miscellaneous troops. This credit is in the hands of the hand."

Li Guodong said with a smile that Gao Jie was very clear about the situation in Tai'an Mansion. He did all the investigation work by himself, so he naturally knew what the situation was there.

This time they were giving the Qing court an attitude. Even if you were to send reinforcements to the Huguang area, you had to look at us.

If there are too many sects, Shandong can become a powder barrel at any time. At that time, we will be able to threaten the foundation of the Qing Dynasty by rushing north.

"Don't worry, General, please go down and prepare immediately. Don't need any auspicious days. You can set out tomorrow."

Gao Jie was already extremely anxious. On the training ground, she had also seen the power of new weapons, but she had never had the chance to go to the battlefield to experience it.

Now he finally found an opportunity. All the generals under him were thinking about showing off his skills on the battlefield. Who could still wait for the auspicious day?

By dawn the next day, the army had already been assembled, and they had made some improvements. Zhu Cixuan asked them to bring one-third of the veterans, but they were very clear about the situation in Tai'an Mansion, so they could just bring one-quarter of the veterans.

It was not that they were dragging it down, but that the army within Tai'an Mansion really didn't have much combat power. There were hundreds of people who came to surrender during this period, and those troops were like walking corpses.

If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty, who could have satisfied their three meals a day, I'm afraid that the army would have collapsed long ago.

Li Guodong also fulfilled his promise and did not place anyone in this matter. All the people who went to the war were Gao Jie's subordinates. Li Guodong could see that Gao Jie was definitely surrendered sincerely and needed a stepping stone now.

If Li Guodong had planted his own people, even if they were all dedicated to the court, the two sides had not cooperated, and any mistake on the battlefield might be fatal, so Li Guodong still chose to hand over the army to Gao Jie with confidence.

"These two thousand big trucks are your confidence in going to war. Don't worry, I have already formed a special transportation force. Our logistics can follow wherever you go, and the newly formed engineer corps has also come. They will build a road from here to Tai'an."

At the farewell ceremony, Li Guodong pointed to the two thousand four-wheeled carriages in the distance and said that all of them were transported from Nanjing. Each carriage was pulled by two animals, and it could transport 4,000 kilograms of things at one time.

It turns out that although there were carriages during the war, most of them were carriages with very little carriages. Another thing was that the speed was not very fast.

Nowadays, a flat road from Nanjing to Qufu has been renovated, and according to news from Nanjing, a cement road for two carriages is being built.

Of course, they can't use it now. According to the construction period of the Ministry of War, it will take at least a few years to complete the construction. The dirt roads are now flat, which is more than half faster than the original transportation speed.

"Then it's hard for the general. The general will take one step ahead and will let the general come to Tai'an within half a month."

They were all men, so don’t say anything more, so Gao Jie took the lead with the army. After three cannons, the army of four regiments slowly set off, and in front of them was a cavalry company for reconnaissance and advance.

Before the troops moved, food and grass came first. Although Gao Jie's army was the main attacker, Li Guodong knew very well that our army's dependence on logistics was stronger than other Ming armies.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince created the new army, they have a concept of logistics in their minds. If the logistics cannot keep up, the army will instantly dissipate more than half of its combat effectiveness.

All the things I train in are hot weapons, and cold weapons are extremely unfamiliar to them.

If there were no sufficient bullets and artillery shells, their combat effectiveness would be similar to that of the third-line army of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention regaining Shandong, they would have to worship God if they could protect their current territory.

From this, Li Guodong also understood a truth: all the logistics supplies were sent from Nanjing, and this was equivalent to mastering their life gate.

When Zhu Yousong was in power, the generals outside were not very obedient. Now none of them had such an idea because they saw all this clearly.
