After meeting Hu Dawei and his 2,000 subordinates, Qin Chuan met with Niu Zhengqi, Feng Gong and Xiao Kaihe.

Because Yongning Prefecture is the traffic artery of the Loess Plateau into the Taiyuan Basin and the Linfen Basin, there are a large number of business travelers, but it is surrounded by mountains, there are many bandits, and they often haunt the surrounding people and business travelers, so Yongning Prefecture has two Tongzhi, Feng Gong is one of them, who is in charge of anti-theft, river defense, and Fusui Minyi.

Zhang Guining, another fellow in charge of salt and grain, had already died at the hands of Feng Gong.

Niu Zhengqi is the general judge of Yongning Prefecture, in charge of litigation, and supervises all officials in the state, including Song Quan.

Xiao Kaihe is an enlightened gentry in the city, who is more righteous, jealous of evil and hatred, and willing to give kindness.

The Xiao family is not prosperous, Ding Kou is only twenty, and the field is only more than 700 acres, which is not ranked at all in Yongning City, where the number of gentry is not large, but the Xiao family's local reputation can overshadow other wealthy families with many prosperous fields.

Xiao Kaihe secretly contacted people with lofty ideals in the city, mobilized the Xiao family's long-term workers, tenants, neighbors, and poor people nearby, and gathered more than 300 people to attack the west gate.

Feng Gong and Niu Zhengqi, who had already taken their cronies to the city, took the opportunity to rebel, killed Zhang Guining first, and instigated the rebellion of the government officials and the rest of the township Yonghuyuan.

In fact, these three people almost knew everything about Qin Chuan and Lou, Yongning Prefecture was very close to Fangshan Fort, and anything that happened there could be transmitted to Yongning Prefecture.

The three of them praised Qinchuan for taking in the hungry people, organizing the people to build water conservancy, reclaiming farmland, and distributing land to households, and admired Qinchuan's defeat and construction of slaves.

Seeing Wu Fu and Du Yingtang during the day, especially after hearing Du Yingtang's words, the three of them immediately decided to join Qin Chuan.

So there was that ghost fire, and the cow roared with the tiger.

Qin Chuan valued these enlightened officials and gentry very much, not only personally received these three people and treated them politely, but also went to Xiao's house as a guest and had a meal of wine to show his trust in these three people.

These three Qin Chuan must be used, but they must also be separated, and they cannot be allowed to stay in the same place as officials.

Because the three men had carefully chosen the places where they set the fires, the three fires were quickly extinguished, and order was quickly restored to the city, and a curfew was immediately imposed.

Guan Dijun raided the homes of several official gentry and businessmen overnight, and cut off a batch of heads, but he didn't find Song Quan, and this Lord Zhizhou disappeared as if the world had evaporated.

It wasn't until the next day, when the city was being cleaned up, that a surrendered official found Song Quan unkempt and filthy in the midst of a group of hungry people.

This Zhizhou lord wanted to pretend to be a hungry person to get out of the city, but he was betrayed by his slightly chubby body.

Qin Chuan didn't kill him, and kept it for silver as usual.

After only resting for one day in Yongning City, Qin Chuan continued to go north with the lynx and the four thousand Guan Emperor troops and went straight to Linxian.

Linxian is only a small county, although there are 1,500 Ming troops in the city, but the city wall is low, and it is not difficult to attack.

Liu Youzhu hurriedly marched to Xingxian County, and passed through the county without fighting, so this small county town had to be picked up by Qin Chuan himself.

As for Yongning Prefecture, Qin Chuan handed it over to Luo Ba.

Qin Chuan left 2,500 troops for Luo Ba, plus the 500 defenders of Fangshan Fort, a total of 3,000 troops.

Among them, Yongning City was garrisoned by 1,000 troops, Wucheng in the east was garrisoned with 500 troops, and Ningxiang in the south was also garrisoned with 500 troops.

Luo Ba also sent 500 people to travel west along the Sanchuan River, taking the villages and Qinglongdu Inspection Division along the way, and finally captured Jundu Village and Mengmen Pass, which are across the river from Wubao, and the remaining 500 people went to capture other villages and towns in the state.

Qin Chuan had already sent someone back to Lou Fu to tell Yan Sanqi that he should form two more construction teams and immediately transport reinforced concrete to Wucheng, Ningxiang, Qinglongdu, Jundu Village, and Mengmen Pass, where he would build military forts and piers to build an insurmountable southern defense line.

Under Qin Chuan's instructions, Hu Dawei took his 2,000 subordinates and all the Ming soldiers to return to Loufu for training.

Familiar to familiar, when it is time to talk about the rules, you still have to follow the rules, like other Ming army soldiers, Hu Dawei and his soldiers must go through strict training before they can be pulled out to fight.

Including Hu Dawei's people and other soldiers in Yongning Prefecture, Qinchuan had a total of 8,000 soldiers on this trip, and even if 2,000 people were screened out in strict training, there would still be 6,000 troops available.

Six thousand soldiers is not much, but for him now, it is a very important force.

The newly recruited 15,000 new troops are training intensively, and they will be able to be pulled out and used at the beginning of next spring, when the Hetao strategy begins.

When the time comes, Qin Chuan will have to promote another group of young generals and readjust the military system.

His current military system is no longer very suitable for multi-front operations, so he has to reorganize and divide the theater of operations, appoint more senior leading generals, and try to improve the speed of dispatch and response.

……

Linxian is about one hundred and ten miles away from Yongning Prefecture, and after not having to escort the baggage and the people, it only took Qin Chuan two days to arrive in Linxian.

The news of the fall of Yongning Prefecture had reached Linxian, and Hu Zhongxing, the magistrate of the county, and Peng Sheng, the general of Shanxi West Road, knew that Linxian had been completely surrounded, and they had no way to retreat and no danger to defend.

So, when Qin Chuan arrived in Linxian, Hu Zhongxing and Peng Sheng led 1,500 defenders out of the city to surrender.

In line with the principle of the life of the descendant and the death of the rebel, after Qin Chuan entered Linxian, he only killed a few ruffians, and did not kill any of the other gentry.

But the money and grain still had to be copied, and the large amount of cultivated land of several gentry had to be spit out.

After Linxian County was in hand, the land more than 200 miles south of Xingxian County was also included under the rule of Qinchuan.

Qin Chuan asked the lynx to stay, and gave him 2,000 troops, so that he could capture all the villages and towns in Linxian County, and strictly guard the two ferries on the banks of the Yellow River.

Qin Chuan himself led the remaining 2,000 troops to continue north.

He's going to skin Bai Guangen.

……

After Yang Sichang and Wang Pu led their armies to Taiyuan, they hurriedly rushed to the Jiexiu area after hearing that Wu Fu and Wang Zhong had abandoned Jiaocheng and set up an ambush in the south.

Before they could get to Jiexiu, they received a piece of news that made them dumbfounded.

Wu Fu was defeated.

The 8,000-strong army set up an ambush in the area of Lingshi, but was discovered by the other party, and was immediately defeated as soon as the battle began.

The soldiers and horses did not lose much, but more of a temporary escape.

But...... Wu Fu and Du Yingtang were captured by the other party.

Moreover, the Qin thieves did not come to Jiaocheng at all, but turned northwest in the spirit stone and went straight to Yongning Prefecture.

Yang Sichang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly led an army of 12,000 with Wang Pu to the west and rushed to Yongning Prefecture.

But as soon as I arrived in Fenzhou, another piece of bad news came: Yongning Prefecture had fallen.

Yang Sichang was shocked and was a step too late.

For a while, I didn't know whether to continue to advance into Yongning Prefecture, or whether to go north to attack Gujiao Town, Sanzaya and other military strongholds.

The mountain road into Yongning Prefecture is rugged, the terrain is dangerous, and there are military forts built in Gujiao Town and three cliffs, which are not easy to fight on both sides, and the 12,000 army may not be able to get benefits.

In a dilemma, Yang Sichang simply stopped in Fenzhou, and while rushing to Beijing to pass the music, he waited for the good news of Hong Chengchou on the other side of the river.

He could only pin his hopes on Hong Chengchou.

……

South of Shuozhou, Ningwuguan.

Yang Guozhu, the new commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, was ordered to lead 8,000 Xuanda border troops to enter Ningwu Pass, and when he first arrived at Yangfangkou, he had no choice but to stop.

Because a new military fort was built in Yangfangkou, which was connected to the Great Wall, like a nail, firmly rooted on the slope of the west side of Yangfangkou.

The road was not blocked, the Yangfangkou Fort was also demolished, and the road ahead seemed to be unimpeded, in fact, this nail was like a guillotine knife, held above the Yangfangkou, whoever went in died.

Unless this military fort is pulled out.

But Yang Guozhu had heard of the power of these gray and gray military forts without a trace of brick joints.

It was an iron wall that could not be opened by the bombardment, and the iron drill could not pry it open.

He also knew that the artillery of Emperor Guan's army was extremely sharp, as well as the extremely powerful earth-shattering thunder, and there seemed to be a lot of defenders in the military fort, and attacking this impregnable military fort was tantamount to sending the soldiers to death.

Yang Guozhu is not a fool, after letting the army be stationed outside Yangfangkou, he has never advanced further.

Anyway, the holy decree only allowed him to contain Qin Chuan's forces, and the main attack was Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang.

I didn't expect this stationing to cause a big problem.

Ma Jie, a guerrilla general on the western road of Datong, and Cao Jue, the garrison of Jingping Fort, led 2,300 of their subordinates to cross Yangfangkou at night and went to Ningwuguan to defect to Qinchuan.

At the same time as Jiannu entered Kouda, these two were rescued by Qin Chuan.

When Cao Jue was stationed in Mayi, Qin Chuan sent people to persuade him to take the people to Shuozhou for refuge.

Cao Jue believed in Qin Chuan, and really saved the lives of himself and the people of the city, and Huang Taiji only got an empty city after arriving in Mayi.

When Ma Jie defended San'in, the city was almost broken by Jiannu's Dabel Daishan, but Qin Chuan defeated Jiannu in the Mayi area, and entered San'in eastward, relieving the siege of San'in.

After that, Ma Jie also drove the people of the city to Shuozhou for refuge, and emptied Shanyin City, and also left an empty city for Huang Taiji.

When the two left, they also left a letter for Yang Guozhu, saying that they were not going because Qin Chuan was kind to them, but because they were going to switch to the Ming Lord and guard the people of Limin.

After reading the letter, Yang Guozhu was silent.

He didn't do anything except send an urgent report to the Jingshi, and still led the remaining 5,700 Xuanda border troops to be stationed in place to contain the forces of Ningwuguan.
