In the next two days, Qin Yu attacked everywhere on the Junzhou side, attacking the cottage fort to collect useful supplies, and at the same time collecting ships along the river.

At the same time, people were sent to cross the river to find out the situation on the other side of the river to prevent people from being attacked when crossing the river.

As for Yunyang, Qin Yu was too lazy to fight, because there were so many grain, cloth, salt, and iron tools in Guangjunzhou that they couldn't take them away.

This time, Qin Yu did not recruit other troops, but only made up the number of the five combat battalions, liberated the blacksmith and his family and the female dependents of large families, and arranged them into the rear battalion and the engineer battalion respectively.

Pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks were all slaughtered, 30,000 people were open to eat, only half of the wine was taken out, and the other half was all refined into spirits, and the engineer battalion was already very skilled.

For a time, dozens of miles of land, all the wine and meat fragrance were wafting, provoking countless poor military households, mud legs swallowing saliva, eager to try, wanting to join the thief and live that fairy life.

"King Xiaohua, why don't we recruit troops and expand the army?"

"Yes, brother, such a good opportunity, you should hurry up and pull the team and strive to expand the number of soldiers and horses to 100,000."

Hongying and Niu Er and the other commanders saw that King Qin was not allowed to recruit troops, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Don't be ambitious, everything must be down-to-earth, as the so-called how big the feet, how big the shoes you wear, the more soldiers and horses under your hands, the stronger the combat effectiveness, when it is time to recruit troops, the king will naturally recruit troops, you don't need to worry about it."

Qin Yu didn't have a good airway.

If it weren't for the assistance of the young man, the 2,000 brothers in the battalion would probably have to be in a mess, and now they still want to recruit soldiers.

Everyone had to leave in a huff, and now no one dares to argue with King Hua.

It wasn't until the third day that Hong Chengchou took two thousand standard battalions and arrived at Yunyang City exhausted.

Knowing that Junzhou had been broken by the thief army, he was immediately furious, and at the same time glad that Yunyang was safe and sound.

At this time, the situation on the other side of the bank has been investigated.

Originally, he planned to go south to Gucheng, and then meet Mrs. Li and them, go to Dabie Mountain to avoid the limelight, and wait until the Qing army entered the customs and directly defeated Nanjing.

But after learning about the current situation in various parts of Henan, Qin Yu decided to go to Henan for development without hesitation.

As for Mrs. Li, they will stay in Heishanzhai for the time being, and the right is to bury a nail in Xiangyang, anyway, as long as they don't attack Nanzhang County, the officials and troops will not mobilize the people to encircle and suppress.

On the fourth day, the army began to cross the river, and in the past few days the engineer battalion had already built a pontoon bridge over the river with the collected boats.

Two infantry battalions and a firearms battalion crossed the river first, then the female soldiers, the rear battalion, the engineer battalion, followed by the five combat battalions, Qin Yu took the remaining infantry battalion and firearms battalion behind.

The army was mighty.

From morning till afternoon, there was a steady stream of 15,000 mules and bantams, all loaded with all kinds of supplies and delicate beauties.

Although King Qin killed the least number of people this time, and he was the direct male of the gentry and landlords, he almost looted the cloth, cotton, salt and other things in Junzhou and even some towns in Yunxian.

And the people not only did not have the slightest resentment, but they all closed their mouths happily.

Because Qin Yu used more than half of the seized silver to pay them, it was double or even three times the market price.

At this time, everyone hid at home and counted the silver and copper coins, so that they didn't care whether those people were thieves or not.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Yu wanted to hurry up.

If he doesn't leave, there will be no salt to eat, and as soon as he leaves, the merchants will surely flock to him as if they smelled blood.

Didn't those big landlords like to bury their money in the ground?

Well, since they are reluctant to use it, then the king of Qin will come to help them use it, stimulate consumption, and promote the trade of the Ming Dynasty.

If it was other anti-thieves, Hong Chengchou would definitely dare to kill him with two thousand standard battalions, and come to him to attack him.

But now he can only nest in Yunyang City, so angry that he blows his beard and stares, watching the other party cross the river.

"Zhiyuan, where is the army of Zhushan's return?"

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive until the day after tomorrow."

"How can this be reasonable, wait for the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid that the thief will be gone long ago, is there any news from General Soldier Zuo?"

Hong Chengchou slammed his fist on the bookcase, his teeth were clenched, and he was completely confused.

"Calculate the time, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the order of the adult until the day before yesterday, and I set off yesterday."

Qian Gao scoundrel's way, unless he puts on his wings, the left light of Xiangyang is absolutely unexpected.

"Hey! Now I can only hope to become Jiao. ”

Hong Chengchou also sighed, when the army of Zhushan arrived the day after tomorrow, plus the time it took to cross the river, it would be at least four days slower than the thief.

According to the speed of those thieves, I am afraid that they will not have to run two hundred miles and knock down Nanyang.

And here, after the army all crossed the river, Qin Yu set fire to the pontoon bridge and burned it clean.

Qin Yu won't be stupid to fight Nanyang, now he doesn't lack anything, so he naturally wants to find a good place to rest.

Turn iron into firearms, cotton cloth into military uniforms, sulfur into firecracker bullets, and horns and tendons into bows and arrows.

Although the mountains around Xichuan are not as exaggerated as those in Zhushanfang County, they are also hilly areas, and they extend in all directions, so you can go anywhere.

After all, it is necessary to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress a place, and the deployment of soldiers and horses has not been completed in three or two months.

The strategy adopted by Qin Yu is to fight slowly with speed, not to stick to one place, and not to blindly wander.

When the materials are abundant, they will rest and train the troops, recruit the troops after the training, attack the city after the recruitment of the soldiers, and repair and train the troops after the city is completed.

In this way, in less than a year and a half, it is still an exaggeration to say that it has the strength to win the world, but at least it can occupy a province.

The army rested on the other side of the river for the night, and only set off the next day, Qin Yu would not make it look like he was running for his life.

After crossing the Han River, the mountain is obviously much gentler, and it is no longer as difficult to find an open space for 20,000 or 30,000 horses as it was in Yunyang.

The vegetation on the mountains is not as dense as that of the lake, and the fields on both sides are also bare, most of them are dry land, and there are no paddy fields.

This is still a mountainous area, the edge of the Nanyang Basin, are all such a scene, it can be seen that the vicinity of Nanyang, and Kaifeng, Henan, Runing The three major prefectures will be what the situation will be?

But less than ten miles after the army walked out, and the Han River could be seen in the distance, and the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

Everyone stopped, confused, not knowing what was happening.
