There is a place called Yang Town 50 miles south of Huo County, where Li Yuan's general Ren Gui and more than 500 of his subordinates who accompanied the Turkic Liukou are resting. The daytime looting not only obtained a large amount of food money, but also captured the young and strong men and women here to Qinyuan County through the small road to Changzhi County, Jinyang, and dragged their families for more than ten days. Another invasion of the south of the West Road, commanded by the partial general Liu Zhenghui, sneaked to Daning County, west of Pu County, to loot the population and materials, and also gained a lot. The two places brought back a total of no less than 200,000 people for Li Yuan.

"General, the master of the horse has arrived." A Chinese military colonel reported in the road tent that Ren Gui was resting.

Ren Gui heard this, and hurriedly got up to greet Chai Shao, but at this time, Chai Shao had already opened the curtain and entered the account.

"General Ren, you are too deep in the south here, tomorrow the whole army will stop moving and immediately retreat east to Qinyuan County, Changzhi County, and go back to Jinyang to rebuild." Chai Shao couldn't care about seeing Ren Gui, and hurriedly said.

"What? It was only more than ten days before the troops were withdrawn. Ren Gui asked puzzledly, he was not resisted by the Hedong garrison of Huo County all the way south, and basically let it go. So, according to his idea, at least he can go deeper south, because the further south he goes, the more people are richer.

"The soldiers and horses of the Luzhou battalion in Hedong have been dispatched, and he is full of cavalry with very fast speed, and he will be here the day after tomorrow at the latest, if he doesn't retreat, I'm afraid he won't be able to go." Chai Shao explained simply.

"Then General Liu Zhenghui on the West Road will also withdraw his troops and return?"

"Where did he return to the army yesterday, your two goals have been achieved this time, it is not appropriate to become bigger, and it will not end well. Do you think Yang Guang, the king of Jin, is a good match! The Japanese officials of the Ming Dynasty will return to Changzhi County with you. With that, Chai Shao turned around and went out of the account, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. This time, Tang Gong in the name of chasing and suppressing the Turkic refugees into the Kou, the fact of robbing the people, originally thought that the Jin King Chitose would not make a big move, the big deal was to send a lobbyist to Jinyang and Tang Bus involved, at that time Tang Gong had his own means to prevaricate him, but he didn't want the Jin King Chitose to be so decisive to send troops to chase and suppress the domestic rogues, the situation was fierce and abnormal, maybe this matter could not be good.

"Yu Pei Shuai, the thieves who invaded my Yang Town have retreated, and there are no thieves along the way to Huo County." Tanmalay reported the news.

"Go and inform General Ding Yanping of Huo County to immediately attack and inspect the surrounding towns, and if you encounter thieves, kill all of them." Leading Marshal Pei Yun ordered.

"This group of Tang troops is running fast, and the Tang army that invaded south in Puxian County has also returned to Jinyang, and my 50,000 troops have come here day and night, but they have come up empty. The herald ordered the army to encamp and await orders. Pei Yun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, this time the army was dispatched like a heavy fist on Su Min, it was useless.

That night, Pei Yun wrote down the current situation of the military situation and sent it back to Pei Shiju, the camp in Luzhou, and stayed here to wait for the next arrangement.

After Pei Shiju, who stayed in Luzhou, received Pei Yun's letter, he did not delay for a moment, and hurriedly asked Liu Wenjing of the Military Intelligence Department to send it to Shandong to be forwarded to Yang Guang, the king of Jin. This time, the loss was a bit big, not only lost a lot of grain, but also lost more than 200,000 people, and the so-called Turkic rogues did not hold any of them, and now there is no reason to attack Li Yuan in Jinyang. How to proceed next can only wait for the approval of the lord.

After Chai Shao and his entourage returned to Jinyang after detouring Changzhi County, they immediately went to Jinyang Mansion to meet Tang Duke Li Yuan.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law suggests that the people who have looted should be sent to the three northern counties to be scattered and resettled, and the 200,000 people can be turned into invisible in an instant, so that the king of Jin has no trace." Chai Shao's biggest worry now is that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will find out where these people are, and there will be no room for maneuver at that time.

"That's what Pei Shangshu meant, to erase all the traces of the captives, this dumb man is going to lose Yang Guang'er, hehe!" Seeing that his goal had been completely achieved, Li Yuan was extremely happy in his heart, and he didn't take Yang Guang, the king of Jin, in his eyes at all.

"Tang Gong, don't underestimate that Yang Guang'er, according to the intention of the lower officials, you can send heavy troops to the front line of Jiexiu, Pingzhou, and Shilou south of Jinyang, to prevent Hedong County from invading the boundary of my Jinyang, and it can also cause a deterrent to Hedong, so that it does not dare to move." We all know that this Jin King is not very old, and he often does not play cards according to the routine, and it is not easy to figure out, so he has to strengthen his precautions. So Pei Lin suggested to Li Yuan softly.

"Hmmm! Yes, I ordered General Liu Hongji to divide his troops into three places to take precautions, and not let a single soldier of the Jin army in Hedong enter our territory. ”

"Yes, the last general will arrange it." After listening to the order, Liu Hongji hurriedly agreed and turned around to go to the barracks to mobilize troops and horses.

"Alas! Uncle Yue, this matter may not end well! That Yang Guang has long been different from the past, and now he is full-fledged. He actually made the chief bookkeeper Pei Yun the commander, and the generals Xiong Kuohai and Wei Wentong were the main and deputy vanguards to go north to kill the invading enemy. This kind of knife killing chicken mode, I'm afraid there is still a deep meaning! ”

Pei Lian, Dou Wei, Dou Kang and others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard it, but they didn't know what it meant, so they had to keep silent.

"Humph! The duke depends on how he acts, and if he wants to be martial and do whatever he wants, he is afraid that he will not succeed. Li Yuan couldn't help but be angry when he heard Chai Shao's worries, and said loudly.

The gaze then turned to the war-scorching Wagang Village.

After several days of unsuccessful attempts, morale was already very low. In the big tent, Xu Maogong, Shan Xiongxin and others were all anxious, and they were about to succeed, but they just couldn't take the level of going up the mountain. Time passed day by day, but fortunately, the damage to the soldiers was not large, and the heroes were still reasonable, so as not to scatter as birds and beasts. However, the food in the army is constantly being consumed, and tens of thousands of stones have been consumed in the past few days. The soldiers and horses sent to Weicheng and Luokou did not return, and several main generals were anxious about this.

"Military advisor, second brother, junior brother thinks that if he can't take the mountain front pass within 5 days, and the food is not enough, he must consider retreating, otherwise the army's morale will be scattered, and the volunteers from all walks of life will return to the village separately!" Qin Qiong saw that everyone didn't speak, so she had to remind her. In fact, not only does he have no heart to attack the mountain now, but his cousin Luo Cheng was also sent by his uncle to send a loyal servant Luo Chun to urge the little marquis Luo Cheng to return to Zhuo County, but Luo Cheng is now strong and does not return. If Luo Cheng doesn't return, his aunt and uncle will definitely blame him for Qin Qiong.

"If we can't break through the Wagang Mountain Gate within 5 days, we will have to stop the army, alas!" Xu Maogong sighed lightly and shook his head, now the initiative is all on the opponent's side. In the past few days, the wheel tactics have been used to constantly change the guards guarding the mountain gate, and the bow and arrow have never been less. Xu Maogong concluded from this that he had already gone to the tile to guard Li Jing's office, and he was unable to defend the wall under the mountain with few soldiers, but took the initiative to retreat to this more dangerous pass, and the advantage of our army was limited by the terrain and could not be played at all, resulting in the current stalemate without any solution.

"Brother Dao Chang, I have a good meal today, and tomorrow I will lead the troops to rush through the pass." Cheng Yanjin saw that everyone was depressed, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and shouted at everyone. The partner You Junda on the side couldn't help grabbing his cuffs and pulling them back.

"What are you pulling me to do? Only tomorrow Lao Cheng will lead 300 minions in my cottage to rush the pass, if you can't open the door, Lao Cheng will not come back. Cheng Biting Jin lost his temper, and he didn't care about it, just yelling.

"Good! Then let the bite brother get drunk tonight, and watch you rush tomorrow. Xu Maogong looked at the reckless Cheng Biting Jin and ordered, now there are almost no generals who are willing to take the initiative to rush the pass, it is rare that Cheng Biting Jin still has the courage.

In the Juyi Hall on Wagang Mountain, Li Jing and the other three were drinking.

"This master Li Chun's shot is extraordinary, and the reorganized mountain gate is really a one-man pass! Come, the two generals and I will make a toast to Li Chun's craftsman. Through the observation of the past few days, Li Jing admired the five-body surrender of the mountain gate after Li Chun's repair, and only a small number of archers could prevent the attack of thousands of people by lying on the plank roads on both sides, and there was nothing to cover within the shooting range. The plank road on both sides is even more ingeniously designed, and a row of holes with a depth of 3 meters and a height of about 2 meters can be placed on the cliff wall behind the plank road, and a large number of bows and arrows and stones can be placed here. When there is no war, the garrison can go into the cave to rest and wait for work.

"Yes! Ben will have wine and meat in the cave behind the plank road, and when the enemy soldiers come, they will go out and shoot a few arrows, wait for them to retreat, and then go into the cave and drink with their brothers, so happy! Wu Tianxi shouted, this battle was very happy.

"Two generals, it's just that Xu Laodao is estimated to be able to retire in a short time, what else is there to fight?" Liang Shitai added while drinking.

"Yes! It seems that I can't hold back these stupid people here anymore, but I don't know how things are going on Lord Lu's side? After Li Jing finished speaking, he looked at the two generals on both sides.

The development of things outside is better than what the three generals of Wagang expected, and unconsciously, on the boundary of nearly 300 miles with Wagang Mountain as the center, almost all the scholars have been swept away, and there is the credit of the real Green Forest Road soldiers, but most of them are indeed the soldiers and horses of Zezhou who are fake companions of the Green Forest Cottage, but those who have been confiscated from the land and manor of the Shi clan gentry have put all their sins on the head of the Green Forest Road in the nine provinces. This time, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Maogong and other people in the green forest can be regarded as helping the development of Hedong to top a big pot.

After looking at the letter sent by Lu Zhaolin, Yang Er, who had already entered Donglai County, was about to laugh in the car. After his own territory passed this divine operation, his sphere of influence went east to Weicheng and Liyang in Jizhou, and to the west to include Wang Shichong's Luokou Town, laying the foundation for the implementation of his next strategy.

"Well, it's time to release the group of tigers raised in Taihang Mountain to eat people. Alas! Let's delay it for a few days, and wait until the king has dealt with Changzhi County between Hedong and Taihang Mountain, so that Lu Zhaolin can Shun the land he just occupied. After Yang Er was happy, he thought calmly again.

"Master Li, send someone to bring a letter to Luzhou. Now that Pei Yun has sent troops, don't care about the Jinyang movement in the north, and directly use troops to the east, occupy Changzhi County in the east of Hedong County, and completely connect Hedong and Taihang Mountains. Looking at Pei Yun's letter forwarded by Pei Shiju on the case, he actually had a plan in his heart, how could he be a person who could suffer. It was not wise to go north to take revenge on Li Yuan, who had heavy troops, but Changzhi County, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Jinyang, which Li Yuan did not value, was the price that Li Yuan had to pay for this rash move. Because it belongs to the mountainous area, the land is poor and the people are poor, so Li Yuan has not paid attention to it, so it is better to take this opportunity to take it into his own hands to relieve the worries of the Jin army of Taihang Mountain after sending troops to Jizhou.

"Yes, my lord, the lower officials will arrange it. It's just that there is one more thing to report to the lord. Li Taizhi whispered outside the car window.

"Oh? What else? ”

"My lord, Jianghuai Du Fuwei has already fought with Xu Yuanlang of Langya County in accordance with the will of the lord. The two of them also worshipped, and it can also be said that from now on, Langya County, Shandong Province is owned by the lord. Li Taizhi was very happy to see that the lord was very happy today, and he was also in a relaxed mood, and told the lord the good news he had just gotten.

"Hehehehehe! All right! Master Li has been receiving good news since he entered your Shandong, you are really the mascot of this king! After listening to Li Taizhi's news, Yang Er was even happier, it can be imagined that when he took Jizhou, which is now unmanaged and scattered, he and Langya County will form a situation of one south and one north looking at Shandong, if Donglai County returns to me, then Jinan Mansion will be surrounded on three sides and become meat that he can eat at any time, and Tang Bi will not let go of the whole Shandong at that time.

"Mascot? What do you mean, my lord? Li Taizhi was puzzled by this title, and asked with wide eyes looking into the side window.

"Master Li, this mascot is someone who can bring good luck to Gongzi at any time, saying that you are a lieutenant! Hehe! Seeing that Li Taizhi didn't understand the meaning of the mascot, Abeyi in the car smiled and said to Li Taizhi outside the window.

"Hehehehehe!" After listening to Abeyi's playful explanation, everyone burst out laughing. After laughing, Li Taizhi hurriedly went on an errand.

In front of Wagang Mountain Pass.

On this day, Cheng Jin's attack was thwarted again, not only did he return with an arrow on his shoulder, but also damaged nearly 100 of his own minions. You Junda was heartbroken when he saw it, and Cheng Yanjin was very sad when he saw his heartache, he was very disdainful, and said in his heart, what a little family!

On this day, the two places that went out to collect grain had been turned back, but the grain they brought back was far less than 100,000 stones. Together, it is only enough for less than 30,000 stones.

In the big tent, Xu Maocheng roared angrily at the four generals who went out to raise food: "The nearby places here are all rich places, how can you say that there is no food to raise?" It must be the result of your carelessness! What do you have to say? ”

"Brother Junshi, it's not that I don't work hard, I really haven't met a big family, there are brothers on the green forest road before I wait for my brothers, and all the food of the big families along the way has been robbed, I am everywhere, where is the food to raise?" Huang Tianhu hurriedly explained, and the other three generals also echoed him.

"The brothers in the nearby cottage are all here, where are the colleagues from competing with me for food?" Shan Xiongxin was extremely familiar with the distribution of this generation of fellow Lvlin Daoists, and felt quite strange after listening to Huang Tianhu's words.

After listening to Shan Xiongxin's words, Xu Maogong thought about it and walked back and forth in the tent. Coming to his friend Wei Zheng, because the two of them are both from the Daomen, they can communicate with each other many times, at this time, Xu Maogong looked at Wei Zheng, as if he was verifying something with Wei Zheng.
