Early the next morning, Chang Yu on the east city wall of Jizhou punched a few times and sweated a lot, took a pot of herbal tea handed by Hu Ling and drank it cleanly, his eyes swept not far away, Chen Wangting and several people were practicing boxing, and the morning sun swept across the lake and shone on them, how did it feel like watching the old men play Tai Chi in the park of the later generations.

Fan Tiezhu hurriedly came to report, Huang Degong and Gao Jie each led 5,000 men and horses out of the city, all the way to the west, Chang Yu laughed when he heard this, slowly walked to Xicheng and looked up, saw the dust in the distance, Gao Jie went to Xinhe County, and Huang Degong went to Ningjin to kill directly into the territory of Zhaozhou.

Although Huang Degong and Gao Jie are arrogant and rude, I am definitely a good hand at attacking cities and grabbing land, and it is very suitable for this kind of peripheral clean-up battle to be done by the two of them, with these two brushes, Chang Yu finally does not have to do everything himself.

But he was not idle, after breakfast, he summoned the squires in the city to mobilize the people to donate money and food, although most of the squires were tortured, whether they hurt their muscles and bones only they know, contrary to normal Yu believes in the saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

If the imperial court mobilizes to donate money and food in peacetime, Chang Yu can guarantee that no one will take care of you if you cut your throat, but this time is different, after Jizhou has experienced the scourge of the thief army, especially those squires who are lucky enough not to die, they hate the thief army to the core, and see that although this officer and soldier do not disturb the people, they are ruthless, so many prisoners of the thief army say that they will cut it, so they mean to donate something, even the ordinary people think so.

Not surprisingly, the harvest was very abundant, and there was already grain and grass in the city that had not been transported away after being tortured by the thief army, and it was barely enough for Huang Degong's men and horses to eat for more than a month, and there was no need to look for people to borrow from everywhere.

In the evening, Chang Yu, who was practicing with Qiao Sanxiu in the palace, received information from several Tanma: Gao Jie's department easily took Xinhe County, where only a few hundred thieves were entrenched, and then spread to the west to send troops.

Although there are not many thieves stationed in these two cities, there are several groups of displaced people gathered in the territory, ranging from hundreds to thousands of groups camping in some villages and towns, and it is not clear whether it is a thief or a people, Huang Degong and Gao Jie went to drive them away, and their colleagues announced: The imperial court has been exempted from taxation for three years, and immediately return to the hometown to cultivate and live, and do not listen to the advice to insist on following the thieves and thieves or those who gather for three days and do not disperse, and say that the imperial court has mobilized 100,000 troops to advance in the west of Jizhou at this time, and wait for the gathering but not disperse, just wait for death......

False and false words, listening directly to these homeless people gathered from nowhere in their hearts were uneasy, discussing how to be good, many people have retreated in their hearts, at that time, although the thief army went north, this way is no different from asking for food, and it is really miserable to be used as cannon fodder to help the thief army resist the officers and soldiers, and now that the imperial army has arrived, it is still exempt from taxation for three years, why do you have to run with the thief army......

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, believe it or not, Huang Degong and Gao Jie's men and horses made a big splash in the territory of the two cities, and at the same time slowly advanced westward, Gao Jie's sword pointed at Gaoyi County due west, while Huang Degong aimed at Zhaozhou in the northwest.

It's just that according to the scout's report, in Zhaozhou and Gaoyi, the homeless thief army is mixed together, and the thieves are not divided, a few miles and a share, and this and that group is really scary.

Chang Yu looked up at the sky, swept through the two cities in one day, and rushed nearly a hundred miles to the Zhaozhou border, this speed was about the same as expected, but he knew that if he went further west, it would be a crisis step by step, there were hundreds of miles of displaced people and thieves, and it would be difficult to take a step, and Li Zicheng would definitely send a regular army to block it, the only thing he hoped for now was that the propaganda language could have an effect, so that those cannon fodder would wake up early and disperse quickly, at least not to be used by thieves as cannon fodder, so that he would be much easier.

Huang Degong and Gao Jie each led only 5,000 men and horses, and there was no pressure to sweep the remnants of the clouds around, but the troops of the thief army hundreds of miles away seemed to be stretched and overwhelmed, so Chang Yu ordered Chang Yu's army to go out of the city overnight and advance westward, and reach Ningjin County before dawn.

The generals over there were busy dispatching troops out of the city, but Chang Yu stood on the city and looked north, the sky was dark, and there were stars shining in the sky, but his mind had already flown to the sky above Jingzhou City.

There was intelligence sent from the north, Liu Zeqing had a fierce battle with the thief army outside Jingzhou City, the thieves were defeated, and the rest of the troops entered the city to resist desperately.

After Liu Zeqing entered the city, he slaughtered the thief army.

When was the thief army so bloody, preferring to die rather than surrender, and when was it so inhumane to set fire to slaughter chickens and dogs without leaving a single mouth alive! Chang Yu's heart was furious, the damned thief really lost his conscience, but he always felt that something was wrong, as for how it was wrong, he couldn't say it for a while, and now his mind was focused on how to fight this siege and annihilation battle!

In a few days, from the capital non-stop tossing and turning nearly a thousand miles, the lone army went straight to the city of Baoding, a flash of time led the thief army to the east to pursue and then a sharp turn south, through five hundred miles of enemy-occupied areas deep behind the enemy, mobilized three men and horses to advance slowly, laid out a big net, Chang Yu was determined to have a Hebei battle with Li Zicheng, this battle is extremely important to both sides, if the officers and soldiers win, the worst can also make Li Zicheng roll back to Xi'an and not be able to shrink, so that the Central Plains can breathe and recuperate for several months or even more than a year, he can also withdraw his hand to go south to clean up Zhang Xianzhong.

But if the thief army wins, the consequences will be unbearable, and Li Zicheng is very likely to wave his troops to the north, and the troops will be under the imperial city, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

This battle can only be won and not defeated! Chang Yu is actually under unprecedented psychological pressure, even more suffocating than when he went out, but at this time the battle pattern has become a trend, as long as the various departments do not make mistakes, the winning rate is very great, he sits on the west road to rate Huang Degong and Gao Jie, whether it is westward or turn north, there is no big problem to fight steadily, the northern defense line has Li Yan in charge, he is strict and strategic, and he is familiar with the tactics of the thief army Chang Yu is also at ease.

Only on the east and west lines, Zhou Yuji came from a long journey to the west, afraid that he would not be able to anticipate the enemy, and he would fall into a deep siege if he was not careful, and unfortunately he could not contact his men and horses because they were too far away, and I don't know what the situation was at this time.

The other is Liu Zeqing on the East Road, when he thinks of this Chang Yu, he hates it so much, he doesn't expect Liu Zeqing's people to resist the Liang, at most he will put on a show in the Hejian Mansion in the east, he just hopes that he will not be held back, and he will be cleaned up after the war.
