An hour later, the number of search troops increased from 3,000 to 8,000, and the search area was also increased to 30 miles from the river bank, and the mountains and forests in the distance were not spared.

But the search and capture army ignored one point, they did not take into account the north bank of the Yangtze River, Zhang Yun led his men to retreat from the south bank, causing a misleading situation to the soldiers, the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven were also on the south bank of the Yangtze River, with the enemy cavalry.

Although Ju Wenzhen also thought of Ying Caihe, he didn't expect Ying Caihe to retreat from the river.

After two days of large-scale searching, no clues were found, and at this moment, an unexpected problem occurred to the eunuchs, their supplies were cut off, and the military rations that should have been sent by the rear army were not delivered, and after eating at noon, they were going to run out of food at night.

The festival made Shen Quan anxious, and Deng Weigong, another section envoy, came to Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang to discuss countermeasures.

Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang were also a little dumbfounded, although they were eunuchs who held military power, it did not mean that they were experienced and capable, just because the two of them had been serving Li Shi and were regarded as confidants by Li Shi.

The two had never encountered such a situation of food shortage, and they were at a loss for a while, but Ju Wenzhen was a little anxious, and he asked, "How many livestock and war horses do we have?" ”

Shen Quan said in a deep voice: "There are about 3,000 head of livestock, more than 1,000 cattle, and about 2,000 donkeys and mules. ”

"Where's the warhorse?" Ju Wenzhen asked.

Shen Quan hesitated and said, "Three thousand war horses." ”

"Then there are six thousand head of livestock, and they will be slaughtered at once to satisfy their hunger."

"War horses can't do it!" Shen Quan and Deng Weigong said in unison.

Dou Wenchang also stretched his face and said: "Jugong may not know that we have spent countless money training cavalry, and if there is no war horse, all this money will be spent in vain." ”

"Okay!"

Ju Wenzhen agreed with them, "Then kill the cow and mule and donkey first, and then I suggest that the army turn around and destroy Li Wanrong, the dog thief!" ”

This plan is feasible, and Huo Xianming also agreed, "Maybe if you kill Li Wanrong, you can still find the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor." ”

Dou Wenchang immediately agreed to this plan.

Deng Weigong added: "Three high-ranking men, I suggest searching in Zhongzhou and Fuzhou, maybe you can get some food." ”

Ju Wenzhen immediately said: "Agree to your plan, and this task will be handed over to you." ”

Shen Quan glanced at Deng Weigong coldly, this guy was too scheming, he went to search for food, and left the task of dealing with Li Wanrong to himself.

..........

At this time, Li Wanrong had officially led the army to surrender to Li Bing, and Li Bing conveyed the reward of the King of Jin, named Li Wanrong as the general of Wei, and gave him the title of Duke of Nanping County.

Li Bing immediately joined forces with Li Wanrong and slaughtered towards Fuzhou.

Soon, Zhang Yun and Ying Caihe escorted the arrival of the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven, and Li Bing arranged a 3,000-stone ship, and ordered Zhang Yun to lead 500 soldiers to escort the Empress to Chengdu.

The 25,000-strong army arrived in Fuling County, the capital of Fuzhou Prefecture, in the afternoon of the next day, and it was still 30 miles away from the county seat.

Li Bing was strange in his heart, and was about to order someone to ask, when at this moment, a vanguard scout rode a horse and galloped to report, "General Qiqi, there is a Shence army of more than 1,000 people in Fuling County who is looting grain!" ”

Li Wanrong sneered and said, "I cut off food for them, and they started to mess around." ”

Li Bing ordered: "General Zhang Lingyun! ”

A general flashed out, "The last general!" ”

"You lead the second battalion of 5,000 cavalry to Fuling County, round up these 1,000 soldiers, don't kill them for the time being, and after I finish the trial, I will kill them!"

"Obey the order!"

Not long after, the general Zhang Lingyun led 5,000 cavalry to rush towards Fuling County.

Li Bing immediately ordered to speed up, and the army rushed to Fuling County........

Zhang Lingyun is the son of Zhang Feng, the assassin of Shanzhou, about 30 years old, has been in the Jin army for ten years, from the brigade commander to the tiger general, and is currently Li Bing's right-hand man.

Half a time, Zhang Lingyun led the army to Fuling County, he divided his troops into two ways, ordered a Lang general to lead a thousand cavalry from the west city gate into the city to shout, disturb the enemy, he himself led four thousand cavalry to ambush outside the east city gate, laid a pocket,

General Lang ordered to leave, and Zhang Lingyun led 4,000 cavalry to ambush in a forest in Dongcheng.

For a moment, I saw nearly a thousand soldiers of the Shence Army fleeing in panic, some carrying large bags and small bags, some carrying pants and running away, but most of them were empty-handed, and there were still soldiers escaping from behind.

As they approached the woods, the horn suddenly sounded, and Zhang Lingyun led four thousand cavalry to kill from both sides, instantly surrounding the stunned more than a thousand soldiers.

Zhang Lingyun swung a sixty-pound big knife and shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

All the soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered, the enemy general for the leader looked into the air, he took dozens of people to suddenly speed up the horse and try to break through from a vacancy, the Jin cavalry was very alert, and immediately sealed the gap, Zhang Lingyun flew to the horse, the knife fell in his hand, the speed was fast, the enemy general could not dodge, the head was split and flew out of the distance, and the headless corpse fell from the horse.

The rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhang Lingyun was murderous and shouted: "Take off your armor, put down your weapons, Rao Er will not die!" ”

All the soldiers hurriedly took off their armor, dropped their weapons, and knelt beside them with their hands raised.

..........

An hour later, Li Bing led the army to Fuling County.

Twelve hundred soldiers knelt outside the west gate with their hands raised, and hundreds of cavalry guarded them.

When Li Bing approached, Zhang Lingyun led the county order up, and the county commander bowed down and saluted: "Please let the general call the shots for us!" ”

Li Bing asked with a calm face: "Are they committing adultery and burning in the city?" ”

"Yes! They robbed a lot of property, killed them if they didn't give them, killed at least hundreds of people, and many women were ruined by them. ”

Li Bing suddenly said angrily: "Let the bitter master come out to identify, and the murderer and adulterer will be beheaded." ”

Zhang Lingyun stepped forward and said in a low voice: "There are too many people, and the bitter master may not be able to recognize them, but there is a way to narrow the scope." ”

"What do you say?"

"General, let them report each other, and those who report merit can be released home."

Li Bing nodded, this method is good!

The Jin army explained that the soldiers reported each other, and when they heard that the meritorious service could be released home, the soldiers turned their faces and reported the murderers and adulterers, and the team was in chaos, and the Jin soldiers immediately rushed in to arrest people, and in a moment, they arrested more than 300 people.

At this time, the county commander led a large group of bitter lords out of the city, some of them wept and wept, some were full of hatred, and many women had disheveled hair and untidy dresses, and when they saw the soldiers who were pushed up, they immediately pounced on them and scratched and bitten, and cried loudly.

The Jin army pulled them apart easily, and began to identify them one by one, and when they identified one, the soldiers were immediately paralyzed by fright, kowtowing and begging for mercy, but they were carried to the ditch by the wolf-like Jin soldiers and cut off their heads with a knife.

In a short time, more than 320 people were identified and beheaded, and the remaining 20 or so soldiers were not identified by the bitter master, but they were even more heinous and killed people.

After getting the testimony of the informant, the Jin army quickly found the seven families of the people who were destroyed, killed more than 40 people in total, the women were killed after being ruined, and many soldiers still had blood stains on the soles of their feet, which could not be denied, Li Bing was furious and ordered the 26 murderous soldiers to be executed with the punishment of five horses.

The incident that happened in Fuzhou seemed to be accidental, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, but it soon spread throughout the Dongchuan prefectures, and it was like a spring rain that soaked into the hearts of the people, making the image of the Jin army vivid and vivid, that is, jealousy and hatred, and strict military regulations.

It was this incident that enabled the Jin army to win widespread support throughout Dongchuan, which was also something Li Bing did not expect at first.

At this time, the 15,000 army led by Shen Quan also entered Fuzhou and stopped at about eighty miles away from Fuling County.

The Jin army soon received news from the enemy and began to move forward slowly.

"What kind of person is this Shen Quan?" Looking for an opportunity, Li Bing asked Li Wanrong.

Li Wanrong thought for a while and said: "This Shen Quan is the person promoted by Huo Xianming, he is a little capable, but he has an arrogant personality, he has not been reused, he is still an ordinary captain in his forties, after Huo Xianming took control of the military power, he promoted a group of low-ranking generals, this Shen Quan is one of them, because he has a little real ability, so in just five years, he was promoted from a captain to a champion general, and he was one of the three envoys of the Shence Army, so Shen Quan has always been grateful to Huo Xianming, and he is even more loyal. ”

Li Wanrong was implicitly reminding Li Bing that it was impossible to persuade Shen Quan to surrender to such a thing.

Li Bing nodded, and asked again, "Shen Quan should still have your generals over there!" ”
