The twilight is getting thicker, the inside and outside of the city are all stationed for the officers and soldiers to rest, the fierce battle for days has long been exhausted, some even find a corner of the wall and fall asleep, but soon be woken up by the smell of rice, the top ordered to be rewarded, the fragrant horse meat and horse soup are enough, the soldiers cheered, the aroma attracted the surrounding homeless people to approach, want to beg for food, was ordered by the officers and soldiers to stop, and those who trespassed into the forbidden area were killed.

A little gruel makes you hang your breath and get it, and you still want to eat meat and drink soup? Chang Yu shook his head and sighed in the city, not because he was ruthless, but because of the importance of the matter, the soldiers sacrificed their lives and fought bloodily, and no one could treat them badly.

When he was sighing, Hu Ling Shangcheng said in a low voice: "Qiu Maohua and others ask to see."

Qiu Maohua is the Taishou of Zhending Mansion, before the thief army came to the city, he surrendered with the guerrilla general Xie Sufu in the city, and the thief allowed him to stay in his position in order to win the hearts of the people, and he has been acting as a dog's leg for more than a month, seeing that the thief army is strong all the way north, he secretly rejoiced that when he bet on the bet, he knew that Ma Shiyao suddenly surrendered, which made a sharp turn almost flash to his waist, and the ants on the hot pot in a hurry did not know how to be good After discussing with a group of dogs, he felt that Ma Shiyao's thieves surrendered well and were all fine, and he could make up an excuse to endure humiliation and bear the burden at that time......

Waiting for Chang Yu to ask for the guilt, Chang Yu didn't have time to bird him in the past two days, but the more he was like this, the more he was psychologically bottomless, and led a group of dogs to take the initiative to ask for a meeting.

But he really knows how to pick time, Chang Yu sneered, he was slapped in the face by Li Zicheng, and there was no place to send his anger before he subsided, so he asked people to take them to the city.

A total of thirteen civil and military personnel of Zhending Mansion led by Qiu Maohua were taken to the city by their own soldiers, and the first thing they saw was the sneer of the little eunuch, and everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts, and hurriedly made amends.

If Chang Yu was just making his debut, he would immediately pull out a knife and cut it, but he has matured a lot in the past few months, although he has a green finch in his hand, he does not easily pull out the knife.

He was too lazy to lynch these thieves, and directly tied them up and handed them over to the court to deal with, but I don't know if the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime must be suffered, and it must be accepted immediately.

So, when night fell, there were screams in the city, and the soldiers and civilians were puzzled and asked each other and were shocked: the little overseer beat people in the city, and beat Qiu Maohua and more than ten other people with blue noses and swollen faces, which was unbearable.

Chang Yu was ruthless, punching and kicking without leaving any force, Qiu Maohua and others could not stand his heavy punches, and many people fainted with three punches and two kicks.

Not to mention that he was scared stupid in this scene, the guards next to him also looked stupid, Li Muxian bit his lip secretly, and said in his heart: I have heard that Dongchang is vicious, cruel and even a little perverted, it seems that it is ...... Thinking about looking at Qiao Sanxiu, Chen Wangting and others next to him, they were also pale, but Hu Ling and other henchmen were expressionless.

After a cup of tea, Chang Yu finally stopped panting, his fists were stained with blood, and there was a wail on the ground: "All locked up and sent to the capital."

"Report, Lord Overseer, General Liu's men and horses have arrived in Shenze County, and they can arrive as soon as tomorrow morning" At this time, the spies came to report, and it happened that Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji went to the city, and they sneered when they heard this: "Liu Laogou came very quickly this time."

Chang Yu smiled, wiped the blood on his hands, and said lightly: "He has been watching from the sidelines to no avail, at this time, when he sees the thief army fleeing and does not follow the flag and cheer, then he will run for nothing, this old dog is fine."

Hejian is in the east of Qizhou, in the northeast of Zhending Mansion separated by more than 300 miles, the thief army retreated from Baoding two days ago, Chang Yu sent someone to send an order for Liu Zeqing to send troops from the east to encircle, this goods this time is also refreshing, and ran more than 100 miles in one breath.

"Lord Overseer, did you really let this old dog take advantage of it for nothing?" Huang Degong was indignant.

"How can there be such a good thing in the world" Chang Yu sneered, and then asked Tanma to order Liu Zeqing not to come to Zhending Mansion City, and directly turned south to help Li Yan pursue the main force of the thieves, and asked him to march in a hurry, and he would arrive at Jinzhou City before noon tomorrow.

Seeing Chang Yu's arrangement, Huang Degong's face softened, and he asked again: "According to what the Overseer can see, has Li Yan caught up with the thief now?" ”

Chang Yu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and the stars were dotted in the night: "Jin Wuwei began to chase the enemy last night, and his cavalry should have caught up, but the governor has not received any news about that side so far, guess what?" ”

"Li Yan didn't report it?" Zhou Yuji raised his eyebrows, he and Li Yan had worked together for several days, and he was fascinated by his style, but he really didn't want to see this scene.

Chang Yu shook his head: "Li Yan is not this kind of person, and such a big thing is not something he can suppress if he wants to, he can control his subordinates at most and not report it, Jin Wuwei's actions he can't control at this time, there are only two possibilities why he doesn't report it, there are only two possibilities for not reporting it, there are thieves everywhere outside the mansion before, and the spies can't report in time if they can't come over, and the other possibility is that something happened and he didn't catch up."

Is that really the case?

It is said that last night, Lu Xing led nearly 10,000 cavalry of Jin Wuwei in Qizhou to chase after the thief, because the stakes were very high. Although Jin Wuwei was tired from fighting for days, he did not dare to slack off, and galloped with torches in his hands.

Fortunately, there are no mountains and rivers in Qizhou, and Jin Wuwei followed the trail to pursue, and when dawn entered Shenze County, he encountered the thief army to explore the horse, and after a fight, he captured several people and obtained information under torture to extract confessions: the main force of the thieves had really crossed the river and should be in Jinzhou at this time.

Lu Xing was overjoyed, and while sending someone to report to Li Yan urgently, he ordered his subordinates to rush to Shenze County, easily broke the city and slaughtered more than 100 thieves, and then ordered to rest on the spot.

The sky is bright, Tan Ma Lai reported, there are nearly 1,000 thieves on the south bank of the Hutuo River a few miles south of the city, it should be the thief army behind the palace, Lu Xing repeatedly confirmed the strength of the thief soldiers, and after consulting with the other three commanders, he led 3,000 cavalry to easily cross the river, and it was almost noon at this time.

When he was about to lead the army to chase after him, the spies came to report: Li Yan ordered the poor Kou Mo to chase, Jin Wuwei was tired and tired of pursuing the soldiers overnight, but the main force of the thief army was recuperating and sharpening his knives.

Lu Xing received the order and ordered the spies to enter the territory of Jinju to keep an eye on the movements of the thief army.

At noon, after receiving the report, Li Yan led more than 100 personal soldiers to arrive in a hurry, and Lu Xing informed him that Tanma had detected the thieves and left Jinzhou to go south in the morning, leaving thousands of people behind the palace.

Li Yan frowned, he has been a thief for several years, and knows that Li Zicheng's family background, the thief army is a large number of people and horses of various departments are chaotic, and after the thieves established themselves in Dashun, the soldiers and horses are divided into five battalions, Zhongji battalion, left battalion, right battalion, front battalion, rear battalion, respectively by Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Liu Xiyao, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo as the commander, these five battalions are his main force in a broad sense, and his own descendant cavalry is the old battalion, which belongs to the battle chicken in the rooster, and it is easy not to use.

Liu Fangliang's left battalion went to Zhending Mansion at this time, Zhang Nai's department originally belonged to Liu Zongmin's Zhongji battalion, and the rear battalion led by Li Guo was defeated in Zhending Mansion, and at this time the Luo Hu Zhenshan battalion was under siege in Zhending Mansion, and the front battalion led by Yuan Zongdi went to Xiangyang and did not participate in this Eastern Crusade.

Therefore, now Li Zicheng has only the main force left around him, the old camp and Liu Zongmin's part of the Zhongji camp, which are all real elites, and at this time, there are tens of thousands of such elite palace queens, which are really prickly.

And at present, in addition to the nearly 10,000 cavalry of Jin Wuwei, who is tired and tired, there are only more than 100 personal soldiers around him, and the rest of the main force is still on the road......

Bad! Li Yan reacted instantly, this is Li Zicheng to copy the bottom from behind, and hurriedly ordered the spies to report to Chang Yu, of course, he was also mentally prepared, this place is more than 100 miles away from Zhending Mansion, even if the road is smooth, it may not be in time, not to mention that at this time, the thief army over there is dense, whether it can get by is another matter, the only fortunate thing is that the little overseer is sitting in Zhending Mansion, and things should not be too bad with him.

But Li Yan also knew that at this time, the thief army of Zhending Mansion and the displaced people were densely packed with countless people, and it was not difficult for Liu Fangliang and others to forcibly cross the river, if there were reinforcements to help from behind, it would be easy, on the contrary, Huang Degong, who was guarding the defensive line, would be miserable.

Li Yan has always been resourceful and able to draw inferences, at this time he did not know that the Zhending Mansion had already started fighting, but he also knew that the situation was critical, and a careless officer and soldier would suffer a big loss, he had to put himself in the shoes of the officers and soldiers, and the only thing he could do at the moment was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, although he did not know whether it could affect the battle situation in Zhending Mansion, but he did his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

What does it mean to encircle Wei to save Zhao, Lu Xing didn't react for a while, Li Yan raised his hand and pointed to Jinzhou City in the distance: "That's Wei."

The main force in the rear was still thirty miles away, and even if he marched in a hurry, he knew that the tired soldiers would be of great use, so Li Yan decided to use Jin Wuwei as the tip of the knife to knock the elite of the thieves.
