Zeng Yuanqi, who is known as a butcher, has never suffered such a big loss.

Yong'an Yong'an has fallen, and even the 40,000 army under his nose is falling apart in a dazzling effort.

And the one who caused all this was actually a teenager who didn't have any hair.

What a shame, what a shame!

Zeng Yuanqi almost vomited blood, watched a group of rabble flee towards the north from a distance, pulled out his sword and roared angrily: "Pass my military order, immediately go to Peilai to transfer Yuanguang to chase and kill Chen Ziqian, I want this treacherous villain to die, I want him to die!" ”

"My lord, no!" Zhao Wengong, who followed, stubbornly said: "Now that Yong'an has fallen, Guanxian has been unable to attack for a long time, and even the only adjustable troops have been scattered. ”

"Fallacy!" Han Sheng retorted angrily: "Lord Zhao has repeatedly rebelled against the lord, what is your intention, Chen Ziqian sent people to seize Yong'an in the front, and instigated the counties and counties to rebel in the back, and now the people are trapped in the territory of Pingyong, the soldiers and horses are scattered, the morale is low, and there is no place to stand, if we don't send troops to pursue as soon as possible, when he seeks to stand on his own, how should we deal with it?" You're raising a tiger! ”

"You are blind, Chen Ziqian has been trapped in the territory of Pingyong, where can he go to seek to seize the city, the three counties in the southeast and west are all in the hands of my lord, and the high walls of Hemen County in the north are thick, he has neither siege equipment, nor elite soldiers, food and grass, how to seize the city?" Zhao Wengong said this, but his heart was empty.

In his opinion, it is almost impossible for Chen Ziqian's people to conquer Hemen County.

Not to mention that Hemen County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as far as the current predicament is concerned, how can Chen Ziqian attack the city if he has a little brain, wouldn't it be safer to withdraw to Yong'an as soon as possible?

Han Sheng sneered and said, "What Lord Zhao can't do, others must not be able to do?" Don't forget, Chen Ziqian had successfully blocked tens of thousands of rebels with 3,000 weak brigades in the north, if he had already planned to seize Hemen, wouldn't he miss the opportunity if he didn't pursue it now? ”

"Alright, stop arguing!" Zeng Yuanqi's face turned dark, in the final analysis, he still blamed himself for despising Chen Ziqian too much, now that there is such a mess, what's the point of pursuing it?

"The order remains the same, immediately send someone to transfer Yuanguang to exterminate this gang of rebels, and send someone to Guanxian to ask General Le to lead the army back to the city, Han Sheng, you immediately go and collect the remnants, no matter how many people are left, be sure to catch up with me, dare to rebel under my nose, I will let them all die without a place to be buried!"

"Whoa!" Han Sheng gave up his hand, and then pulled the reins and galloped away.

The battle horn has been sounded, and this time Chen Ziqian suddenly attacked, which dealt a huge blow to Zeng Yuanqi, forcing Zeng Yuanqi to gather his troops and horses and reformulate a response strategy.

While Zeng Yuanqi was taking action, Chen Ziqian took the county soldiers and went straight to Hemen.

This raid was successful, and the 20,000 county soldiers only paid a small loss, but after the team merged, the morale was sluggish, and they were like frosted eggplants, and they couldn't raise their motivation.

They didn't even know why they did this, after all, the opponent was Zeng Yuanqi, who dared to argue with the butcher, didn't know how Anyi County was slaughtered in the first place?

Chen Ziqian was also uneasy at the moment, especially looking at this group of lazy soldiers, just this rabble, if Zeng Yuanqi sent troops to chase after him, the team was afraid that it would disperse without fighting.

"Lord, the Hemen is more than eighty miles away, according to this marching speed, we are afraid that we will have to be caught up by Zeng Yuanqi before we reach the Hemen, how can this be good?" Gan Youzhi said with some concern.

As Chen Ziqian's military advisor, he has the obligation to help solve problems, but he really has nothing to do with this.

Chen Ziqian pursed his lips, he was also quite helpless about this, and after thinking about it, he turned his head to look at the county orders behind him who were talking to Bai Changxing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hemen County is more than eighty miles away, and there is nothing to eat on the road, so we must speed up the march." Chen Ziqian bowed his hand to everyone, and at present, he still can't call these county soldiers, so he can only let these county commanders help supervise.

"Chen County's order is assured, Bai will send someone to pass it on." Bai Changxing made a great contribution this time, his face was full of spring breeze pride, and he naturally did his best to Chen Ziqian's instructions.

But the other county orders were not so optimistic, and they even regretted rebelling with Chen Ziqian with bitter faces.

After all, this marching army can't even eat, who will be loyal to him?

You know, these soldiers under them haven't even eaten breakfast, and now they have to march more than 80 miles, how can they not complain?

A county commander arched his hand and said: "Chen County Order, it can't go on like this, the soldiers are hungry, although they haven't said anything now, but if they don't eat at noon, the team will inevitably be in chaos." ”

"This is easy to do, I have asked the county order of Hemen County to kill chickens and slaughter sheep, as long as the team enters the city smoothly, there will be meat to eat, you just need to pass the order down, to Hemen each person to enjoy two liters of wine, two catties of meat, two coarse grain cakes, a steamed egg cake, in addition to pig and sheep head meat and hooves, sauce sheep liver, sauce pork liver, green onions, ginger vinegar and other side dishes, first come, first served, until the end of the distribution." Chen Ziqian was serious nonsense, and in order to stabilize morale, he had to make up a lie first.

Sure enough, when several county magistrates heard this, their faces immediately turned better, and they sent people to pass on the order.

With the temptation of meat, those lazy soldiers suddenly became imposing, and the marching speed immediately increased, and they couldn't wait to run and hurry.

Gan You saw that the problem was easily solved, and said with a little more awe of Chen Ziqian: "The lord is really far-sighted, and even this step has been calculated accurately, and I admire it." ”

"Blind admiration for something, this is expediency." Chen Ziqian rolled his eyes and said: "When they get to Hemen, they find that there is no meat to eat, and they don't know what kind of moth will be made, you hurry up and find a way to solve this problem." ”

"Huh!?" Gan Youzhi looked confused, expedient?

Chen Ziqian smiled playfully and didn't explain anything.

He wasn't worried about what these soldiers were making trouble with, if he really arrived in Hemen County, he couldn't count on the meat, and he couldn't eat the rice?

Since Zhang Tong, the county magistrate of Hemen County, has decided to surrender, isn't it appropriate to provide some grain and grass?

Chen Ziqian is now worried about how long the grain and grass in Hemen can last, and when the grain is eaten, it will be the deadliest.

After all, Hemen County is surrounded by enemies, and it is difficult for Yongan and Guanxian to transport grain over, and Zeng Yuanqi will definitely send troops to fight, and the chances of winning against them head-on are not good, and if they can't hold out and have no food to supply 20,000 troops, if this problem is not solved, defeat will be a matter of time.

Of course, it is good to know these problems yourself, but once they are passed on, the morale of the military will inevitably be weakened, and it will be even more troublesome when the time comes.

In addition to the problem of food and grass, the commander of these 20,000 horses is also a major pain point, if these soldiers and horses cannot be integrated as soon as possible, it will be difficult for this team to form an effective combat force.

In the final analysis, most of these county soldiers are actually militiamen, soldiers in wartime, ordinary people in peacetime, and even if they are rectified, it will take a lot of energy to train.

In this regard, Chen Ziqian is quite a headache anyway, the commander attribute is only 60 points, in the current environment, let him rectify the training, I am afraid that Hemen County will not be able to form any combat effectiveness if it is broken.

Let's take one step at a time, and let's talk about it in the city.

In this state, Chen Ziqian couldn't think of any good way, so he could only lead the team to move forward steadily.

The foot soldiers marched very slowly, and they might not be able to reach it in a normal day for more than 80 miles, but under the temptation of meat, they still came to Hemen County smoothly after dark.

Fortunately, before leaving, the camp was burned, and at the same time, the 20,000 horses of Han Sheng's department were scattered, but the pursuers could not successfully catch up.

Outside Hemen County, Lin Xiaodao rode a horse and held a torch high to call the door, and Zhang Tong, the county order who had been waiting for a long time, opened the city as promised, and personally trotted out to greet him......
