Located at the junction of several provinces, the Yunyang area has always been the best place to escape the war.

In the same way, it is also the first goal of the people who do not obey the kingship in the provinces.

During the years of self-formation, a rebellious uprising broke out in the Yunyang area, and the officials and soldiers who encircled and suppressed it suffered heavy casualties, and returned several times without success.

In order to better manage this area and control the troubled people, the Ming court not only established Yunyang Mansion, but also specially added a Huguang Xingdu Division, and sent a governor to sit in the town.

Although it was temporary, the governor of Yunyang changed one term after another, and his jurisdiction has changed from more than 80 prefectures and counties in the largest number of provinces to more than 10 prefectures and counties in the smallest time, but it has not been abolished to this day.

Half a month ago, Dai Dongmin, the current governor of Yunyang, was shocked and angry when he learned that Baokang had been broken by the thief army, and soon there was news that Fang County was in danger.

Immediately, he personally led the Governor Biaoying and Xunyang Wei, and thousands of troops rushed to kill in a hurry.

At the same time, he also ordered the surrounding guards to lead troops to Zhushan County within 10 days, and the violators were severely punished.

Obviously, although he is a civil official, Dai Dongmin also yearns for Xiang Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of several provincial military affairs, and the rising Xiaohua King just gave him the opportunity to show his strength.

For Xiong Wencan, who only appeased a group of pirates, he was directly promoted from the governor of Fujian to the governor of the five provinces, and he was really a little indignant.

In his opinion, no one is more suitable for the title of governor of the five provinces than him, the governor of Yunyang.

Because in the land of Yunyang, there is a prefect in the civil affairs and a commander in the military, and he, the governor of Yunyang, was originally responsible for coordinating the military and civilian affairs on the borders of the four provinces of Sulichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang, otherwise why would he be the governor of Xunyang?

It was precisely because of the dissatisfaction in his heart that he deliberately demolished the platform, and during the long time that the Eight Kings occupied Gucheng, except for sending thousands of guards to perfunctory, they never organized a large army to encircle and suppress.

But now, it's different!

At this moment, in the hall of Zhushan County.

Dai Dongmin sat on the magistrate's chair and touched his beard, looking at the military attachés below, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Commander Geng, hasn't the situation in Fang County and the details of the thief army been explored yet?"

"Back to my lord, the sentry sent by the lowly duty was detected by the other party before he got close to Fang County, and even some mountain trails were sent to guard them strictly, so the lowly position thinks that the gang of thieves must have a plan."

The one who replied was Geng Yong, the commander of Yunyangwei, who was the leader of the group of officers and soldiers who were ambushed by Qin Yu and Li Dingguo last year.

"Humph! Therefore, the mystery is false, the art of war has clouds, the truth is false, the virtual is real, so secretive, it must be a false heart of my army to explore its details, I can't say that Zuo Liangyu and Qin Ming have led the troops to approach, at this time the guards have arrived, it is a good time to enter the suppression, pass the order, tomorrow the army will march into Fang County, this Fu will capture the thief head Xiaohua King alive. ”

Dai Dongmin snorted coldly, he was really annoyed by these military attachés, the march dragged on, and he didn't even know anything about the situation.

The commanders and thousands of households under the hall were shocked, the number of thieves and the number of troops, and the other two armies did not know where they were, and they rushed into the army based on speculation, which was too bold.

Seeing this, Geng Yong had to stand up and hug his fists, and said carefully: "My lord, there is no road from Zhushan to Fang County, there are countless canyons and dense forests on the way, it is too dangerous to rush into the army, it is better to strictly guard against it, and surround the anti-thieves in Fang County, and after the men and horses of Zuo General Soldier and Qin General Soldier arrive in Fang County, it is not too late for my army to meet again!" ”

"It's nonsense, I have 20,000 officers and soldiers, how can I be afraid of the enemy and defend passively?

Where is the majesty of the court?

Besides, once this happens, then King Xiaohua will definitely flee to the mountains, and if he wants to exterminate it, it will be even more difficult, so he must take advantage of his unpreparedness to quickly enter and suppress. ”

Dai Dongmin waved his hand, and his tone was very stern in the end, he was a dignified Xinjiang official, not here to help guard a small county town, but to suppress thieves.

If he waited for Zuo Liangyu and Qin Ming's army to come to Fangxian County, and then he went, it would be better to go back to Yunyang, so why bother to mobilize so many soldiers and horses to come to Zhushan?

"But..."

"Ben Fu has made up his mind, no need to say more!"

"Yes!"

The military attaches had to clench their fists together, and they wanted to greet all the female dependents of these civil officials, but they didn't dare to put a fart on their faces.

Especially Liu Qianhu, who escaped from Fang County, has always been afraid to nest at the very end, for fear that Dai Dongmin will investigate his responsibility.

Although they are all subordinate to the Huguang Xingdu Division, they are all commanders, and they are like dogs in front of the governor, not to mention them, the guards and the thousands of households who guard the thousand households.

Although the status of the governor of Yunyang is somewhat special, it is also a big official, and he is not the governor further, but also the squire of the six departments, and the inspectorate is left and right in the imperial history, and it is too simple to kill these military attaches who are not loved by their grandmothers and uncles.

The next day, nearly 20,000 guards were busy from morning to noon, and then they barely set off on the road.

The team is sparse, noisy, and stretches for dozens of miles.

Dressed in rotten and dirty uniforms, scrawny and vegetable, with straw sandals and long broken guns, they were like homeless people fleeing.

The military attachés rode on horses and led their families back and forth shouting and insulting, and from time to time they would whip a few times, and the beaten soldiers ran around to hide.

It is said that it is a march and a battle, but in fact it is more like driving a herd of cattle and sheep, and the scene is unbearable to look at.

No, Dai Dongyu, who was sitting in a sedan chair, has not stretched his brows since he left the city, but fortunately, he has been used to this kind of scene in the past few days.

After a whole afternoon, I had only walked out for five miles, and I had to set up camp and reorganize my team, otherwise I would not be able to tell whose men and horses it was.

For two days in a row, he only walked out for more than ten miles, and because he entered the mountain, the road was rugged and steep, causing the front to enter the mountain, and the back was still wandering around the village near the county seat.

Along the way, the military families walked and walked in groups, sneaking away, or going to find a forest to take a nap, or to dig out birds' nests to hunt game, and go down to the river to fish.

More often than not, they went to the villages in the mountains to steal chickens and touch dogs, flirted with big girls and little daughters-in-law, and played happily one by one.

But when the meal is served, they will always appear in the camp on time, and the time pinching is called a quasi.

Dai Dongmin was so angry that he couldn't eat, he didn't understand that this was because those military attachés were afraid of the enemy, deliberately delayed, and gave him eye medicine, but they were helpless.

Compared with these officers and soldiers, Qin Yu and them are more like officers and soldiers, although the army of more than 10,000 people is not orderly, but it is not so chaotic that someone sneaks away halfway to do chores and sleep.

The black bear led more than a thousand bandits and old thieves to open the way, and Niu Er followed closely with an army of 5,000.

Then there was the team of young women and young men led by the red warbler, and Qin Yu led the bull team, the tiger team and the young soldiers.
