Now that he had been entrusted with such a thing by his uncle, he had an urgent desire to prove himself to his uncle, and when he thought of this, he slapped the table heavily, and expressed his deep pride.

Just when Cao Shinian was thinking about his uncle Cao Qianlie, Dingguo Gong was chasing this army of displaced people without stopping, since the army of displaced people rushed into the hinterland of Henan, all forms suddenly became chaotic.

After the army of displaced people arrived here, the number of people quickly expanded from 200,000 to 300,000, and the momentum was so powerful that it was shocking.

Yuan Yunmo, the governor of Henan, led an army of 30,000 with the intention of conquering and suppressing, but was surrounded by 150,000 exile regiments and was completely defeated.

In the face of the huge number of displaced people, Cao Tianlie did not dare to attack as fiercely as before, so he could only accumulate strength on the one hand, and carefully drive the displaced army towards the barren place.

However, on the 15th of December, the camp of the displaced people was suddenly divided into two, Xu Chuanheng, the king of He, Zhang Yihu, the king of Jiuwei, and more than 200,000 troops of the eight battalions, including the rampant wolf, Yidougu, the sweeping king, and the mantianxing, entered Wuguan to the west, and Shanyang, Zhen'an, and Shangnan fell on the same day. Then go north to the south of the country, advance to Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, and threaten the Guanzhong.

On the other hand, about 100,000 people led by Luo and Shan, the king of the mixed world, and Li Yongcheng, the spear eagle general, entered the Lushi Mountains, contacted the local miners, and went straight to the inner countryside by the mountain path, intending to go south to Yunyang and Xiangyang in Huguang through Dengzhou and Xishui, and drink the Yangtze River.

All this made the scheming Cao Tinglie helpless, so he could only go south first to exterminate the chaotic king Luo and Shan, and the spear eagle general Li Yongcheng's troops, but fortunately, Sun Chuanling, the governor of Shanxi, experienced the front line and finally sniped the offensive of the displaced people.

Since then, the chaos in the world is out of control, and the camp of displaced people is like a fire, igniting the entire Central Plains, not long ago, Li Yongcheng's words are far away, wealth and glory, I don't know how many careerists are ready to move, I don't know how many peasants who have lost everything secretly ruthless.

All this, as if to foreshadow something, the entire Dajing Dynasty is like a house shaking in the wind and rain, and at this moment it finally showed a trace of decline, so that many people of insight sighed.

Of course, Cao Shinian didn't know all this at the moment, all he could do now was to let himself complete his uncle's task, and that's it, so he recruited his henchman, that He Laoqi, and asked him to lead five hundred ghost-faced horsemen to investigate around.

In his heart, he still believes that his ghost face is riding, and as for others, he has a trace of distrust.

And Wang Zike, who returned to the big tent in Beijing, was also a little worried, because what he had to do now was to fight for merit, and it was to compete with the officials who were directly in charge of him, only in this way could he show his ability and restore the impression in the heart of the saint.

So he also gave a ruthless order, and 20,000 Beijing camps spread across northern Henan, searching.

The local guards also launched reconnaissance.

All this, Liu Qing is feeling, the time has now been two days, in the past few days, Liu Qing has received a report from Sun Dadou every day, which makes his mind slowly become a little nervous, the atmosphere in the entire Maishan camp is also solemn, even those prisoners in the Beijing camp are training hard at the moment, everyone knows that it will not be too far from the moment of fighting again.

Two days passed, and finally, Sun Dadou came back with an ugly face, and he said to Liu Qing: "General, the scouts I was waiting for outside fell into the trap dug by the officers and soldiers, one of the scouts was captured, and three people were killed, and now it is very likely that the officers and soldiers know about it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qing immediately beat the drum and ordered his subordinates to gather.

The sound of the horn sounded, and the whole Maishan was agitated, and the newly established Dingyu camp poured almost all of Liu Qing's efforts, and what he did was to be ruthless and warm in this team that he only had in troubled times.

The coldness of training, the warmth of life.

In the past few days, I don't know how many people have been punished, and there are also those who intend to escape, but if they are caught, there is only one final result, beheading to show the public, in troubled times, it is better to let others be feared than to be respected.

The generals under him all quickly came to the camp in Maishan, where the old man used to practice old wealth has now been changed to a place for their deliberations, and the rest of the people can only settle outside.

But the loss is that these people are also bitter haha, so there are no complaints, and now, Liu Qing looked at the subordinates who were gathered in the village, and he was also a little relieved in his heart.

In any case, I once had such a group of people who shared the glory and disgrace with me.

The surrounding people gradually quieted down now, Liu Qing looked at them, and said: "Sun Dadou came with news just now, those officers and soldiers may have discovered where we are, go down immediately and prepare, it is estimated that there will be a big battle." ”

The money bank was the first to come out and asked, "I don't know if the general is preparing?" ”

Liu Qing said: "Of course I want to go out to fight, Maishan is narrow, if it is surrounded by the officers and regiments, we will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Hearing Liu Qing's words, Qian Xing didn't say anything anymore, just now he was a little afraid that Liu Qing would guard Maishan.

Just as everyone was about to go down to prepare, suddenly Sun Dadou's people stepped forward again to report: "General, now I have found 2,000 officers and soldiers three miles away from Maishan. ”

"What?" Hearing this news, everyone was shocked, when did the officers and soldiers have such efficiency, Liu Qing asked in a condensed voice: "Have you clearly seen whose banner the people are fighting?" ”

The scout said, "The villain doesn't know that there is only one king on that officer and soldier team. "The word king?" Hearing this, Qian Xing muttered for a while, and suddenly asked in horror: "Is it the Beijing Soldier Battalion?" ”

No wonder Qian Xing asked, you must know that under his hands, there are still so many soldiers in the Beijing camp, although these 1,000 people have been dispersed, but the total number of people in the Dingying camp is only 3,000 people, no matter how they are scattered, there is still no way to divide them.

If it was other officers and soldiers, it would be better, if it was Jingying, in the face of the former robe, I was afraid that there would be some bad changes, so at this moment, Liu Qing and the others also looked at this scout, wanting to know the answer from his mouth.

This scout can be regarded as the old man who broke through Huaiqing Mansion City for the first time that year, and he has no shortage of courage or anything, but he is still a little uncomfortable when he is stared at by so many people, he said: "That, they should not be Jingying, at least their clothes are relatively shabby." ”

Hearing this answer, Liu Qing exhaled deeply, and immediately, his face turned heavy and said, "Are there other officers and soldiers within thirty miles?" ”

"No, there is such an army within a radius of the last dozens of miles, and the villain dares to use this life as a guarantee." The scout said.

"Okay, what's your name?" Liu Qing said for a moment, and then asked the scout, who was overjoyed when he heard it, and said, "The villain's name is Zheng Chongying." ”

"Zheng Chongying, good name, would you like to come to me." Liu Qing said at this time.

This scout named Zheng Chongying's face changed, and then said: "The general's love, how dare you resign, but please let me come to the general's side after this battle, now Zheng Chongying I have no merit, I really dare not occupy a secondary position." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qing didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to let Zheng Chongying go down.

When Zheng Chongying went down, Liu Qing said to the people below: "Gear up, meet the enemy, and attack." "Comply." The armor underneath sounded, although it was not so neat, but there was another breath of slaughter inside.

Maishan acted quickly, the soldiers were integrated, distributed their weapons, polished the firearms, Liu Qing walked out, looked at the three thousand people below, Liu Qing said: "I don't care what you did before, now you are the people of the camp, now, kill the enemy with me." ”

The old people in the past were all shouting: "General Chi, General Chi, General Chi." ”

The voice was loud, and those displaced people who joined later also followed and shouted, only those soldiers in the Beijing camp were a little at a loss, but looking at the current situation, they could only follow the current.

Seeing this, Liu Qing didn't say anything anymore, and immediately led the army to kill not far away.

And three miles away, the left thousand households and right thousand households of Huaiqing Mansion were slowly and leisurely taking small steps, advancing towards Maishan, and the soldiers and laborers of more than 2,000 people under their hands were all walking without a ride, but they were also elated and vigorous.

And the more than 300 people who followed the two thousand households, full of spirit, this left thousand households and right thousand households, both surnamed Wang, have a little kinship that can't be beaten by eight poles, and in Dajing, which is a dense network of relationships, this is enough to make them close.

What's more, Wang Zike, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, is also surnamed Wang, so after Wang Zike came to northern Henan, these two people were even more courteous, and it happened that Wang Zike also needed two local snakes as helpers, so he also spoke kindly to them.

As a thousand households in the local area, their life is indeed a bit hard, and what they hope now is to be able to climb Wang Zike's relationship and transfer them to the Beijing camp, and when the time comes, they can be stationed in the Beijing Division.

Not long ago, they relied on this trap to capture a scout in the camp, and after using all kinds of means, they finally got the place where the thief was hiding from the scout's mouth, and as for the scout, he was just slaughtered with a knife when he was done.

The two people who got the news were overjoyed, although this group of thieves was fierce and defeated the Beijing army camp, but they thought that it was all according to the cheapness of attacking the city at night, and in their image, the thieves were those tattered outcasts who followed the thieves.

As for those powerful camp of homeless people, not all of them left early, if this red general was powerful, why was he not famous before, after the two of them combined, on the one hand, they reported the news to Wang Zike, and on the other hand, they led a large army to come here to eliminate this army of thieves.

They knew from a few words that the current Wang Zongbing was very troubled by this group of thieves, and if they could eliminate this group of thieves before Wang Zongbing arrived, then the impression would definitely be very good.

Of course, in this way, it is inevitable to offend Cao Shinian, but they can't care about it now, in fact, it was not Lord Wang Zongbing who they started to defect to first, everyone knows that Cao Shinian Cao Xiaohou is the master here.

However, isn't there no way, it's not that the two of them haven't been courteous, but what is the status of the little marquis, how can they look at the thousands of officers in the two places, they have always been cold-hearted, so they took refuge in General Wang.

Because this matter is related to their own future, so the two of them acted extremely quickly today, which is a bit of a record for officers and soldiers, which is also completely unexpected by Liu Qing's imagination, what he didn't expect is that under the encouragement of the future, the two thousand households burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.

They first gave three pieces of silver to the officers and soldiers of the guards and laborers underground, and told them that as long as they could eliminate this group of thieves, they would have three dollars per person after the deed was completed, which made the officers and soldiers of the guards and laborers happy at last.

As for their own soldiers, they said directly: "As long as we win this battle, we will go to Beijing to be a thousand households, and everyone has to think clearly now." ”

What is not clearly stated in those words is that as long as they become the thousand households of the Beijing camp, these personal soldiers will go to the Beijing division with them.

In the eyes of the people in these places, Jingshi, it is really a place of gold.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of the pro-soldiers was also stirred.

Of course, whether it is the officers and soldiers of the guard, the servants, or the personal soldiers, everything they need is only after defeating this group of general Chi and thieves, so the morale of these two thousand households is so high, sweeping away the decadence of the officers and soldiers of the guards in the Dajing Dynasty, it seems that interests are really a good means to motivate people to make progress.

The morale was high, and the march was fast, and everyone did not feel a trace of fatigue, because the desire in their hearts was motivating them, until, not far from them, a puff of dust appeared, and the two thousand families were considered to have stopped the army.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Liu Qing was at the forefront of the team at the moment, and behind him were the three thousand soldiers of the Dingyu camp, and around him were his own hundred personal guards.

The guards are all holding fire guns in their hands, although everyone is a little incomprehensible that Liu Qing attaches so much importance to fire guns, in their opinion, fire guns are powerful, but there are too many limitations, they can't be used on rainy days, gunpowder is easy to get damp, and sometimes they come to explode a bore or something, far less useful than bows and arrows, but Liu Qing persevered, he smiled secretly in his heart: This is the benefit of traversers.

These more than 100 firearms, when they got together, it really took some effort, you know, now the Dajing Dynasty is also not so important to firearms, conquered Huaiqing Mansion City twice, defeated the 2,000 troops of the Beijing army camp, dug the treasury, and stormed the Gaomen compound, and the firecrackers obtained were only more than 200.
