A few days later, Ye Zongliu's men began to gather, and they all rushed towards Mengyin County.

At the same time, Ye Zongliu did not stay in Mengyin County, but went out of the city and came to Yejiabao in the north of Mengyin County.

This Yejia Fort has just been built, it is a dock fort built by Ye Zongliu for himself, which not only occupies a large area, but also has a city wall, an arrow tower, a moat, and a thousand elite soldiers in Yejia Fort to guard.

For Ye Zongliu, although Mengyin County is taller and stronger, it can't reassure Ye Zongliu, after all, Mengyin County is the territory of the government, and staying in the city is not a long-term solution after all.

After returning to Yejiabao, Ye Zongliu finally put his mind at ease and began to arrange things to deal with Yushan Town.

At this time, Wang Neng, Chen Gongshan, and Chen Jianhu had already gathered the 50,000 horses under Ye Zongliu's command one after another, all of them concentrated near Yejiabao, and for a while, there was a lot of rumors around Mengyin County, and the surrounding people and big households were flocking to other places, and even the people in Mengyin County were surging in the dark tide, and the news that Qingzhou was about to be in chaos began to fly all over the sky.

Ye Zongliu was also well aware of the rumors outside, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them, at this time, Ye Zongliu's mind was all about defeating Yushan Town!

Just when Ye Zongliu was concentrating, he suddenly received a shocking news: the industries of Yushan Town in various states and counties of Qingzhou Mansion began to be sold, and Liu Juntao's men and horses began to withdraw to Yanzhou Mansion!

"Liu Juntao is scared!"

After Ye Zongliu heard the news, the first thought that sprung up in his heart was that Liu Juntao was afraid, Wang Neng, Chen Gongshan, and Chen Jianhu were also shocked when they heard the news, according to everyone's impression of Liu Juntao, the people of Yushan Town should not be so weak, and they retreated back when they encountered some resistance!

So, Wang Neng, Chen Gongshan, and Chen Jianhu all talked about it, and advised Ye Zongliu to be careful in case Liu Juntao played any tricks.

Ye Zongliu pondered for a while, and then said: "Regardless of the rest, let the brothers take over the entire industry of Yushan Town in Qingzhou Mansion first!" ”

Wang Neng said: "Great King, I don't think I'm in a hurry to take over these industries now, as long as Yushan Town is defeated, these industries will be ours sooner or later, and I expect that the rest of the forces will not dare to reach out and occupy those industries at this time." ”

Chen Gongshan also said: "Yes, King, our top priority now is to find out if Liu Juntao is really afraid, or what happened to him there, why he suddenly retreated!" ”

Ye Zongliu nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's right!" ”

After thinking for a while, Ye Zongliu said to Chen Jianhu: "In this way, Chen Shuai will chase in the direction of Yanzhou Mansion with 5,000 men and horses, if he catches up with the people and horses of Yushan Town, he will cover up for a while, and if he can't catch up, he will rush to Yanzhou Mansion to go around, I want to see what kind of reaction Liu Juntao will have!" ”

Chen Jianhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the king, I will lead the crowd to set off today!" ”

Wang Neng also said: "Chen Shuai, then Liu Juntao is not a kind person, you must be very careful on this trip!" ”

Chen Jianhu also nodded in response.

Then, Ye Zongliu said to Chen Gongshan: "Chen Shuai will take another 5,000 men and horses to set off afterwards to prevent Liu Juntao from having any tricks, just in case!" ”

Chen Gongshan saw that Chen Jianhu was ordered, and he was not at ease in his heart, but when he heard Ye Zongliu's words, he immediately received the order, and his heart also settled down.

In the end, Ye Zongliu said to Wang Neng: "Wang Shuai will sit with me and wait for good news in Yejiabao!" ”

Wang Neng smiled and didn't speak, but secretly said in his heart: "I hope so!" ”

On the same day, the brothers Chen Gongshan and Chen Jianhu set off with 5,000 men and horses, and the two set off from Yejiabao to the west and rushed towards Yanzhou Mansion.

Two days later, Chen Jianhu led 5,000 men and horses to rush into Yanzhou Mansion and arrived at Maoyang Town in Pingyi County.

The 5,000 men and horses led by Chen Gongshan had just crossed the junction of Yanzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion and were rushing towards Maoyang Town.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also gathered everyone in Yushan Town and began to arrange troops to prepare for Ye Zongliu's offensive.

At Liu Juntao's house, Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Tang Yu, Hu Dexing, Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, Zhou Zongsheng, and Liu Zi's security department were all there.

At this time, Liu Zi'an said loudly: "Mr. Lian, everyone, now the manpower of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been withdrawn one after another, but Ye Zongliu's men and horses have also been killed, and his vanguard has entered the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, and it is estimated that it should be in Pingyi County now!" ”

Liu Juntao frowned and asked, "How many people came?" ”

"Ye Zongliu in Pingyi County is estimated to be about 5,000 people, and there is a team of men and horses with a similar strength behind him, who have just entered the territory of Yanzhou Mansion!"

At this moment, everyone was talking about it, and almost everyone advocated that the Yushan Town Guards should be dispatched immediately to deal a blow to Ye Zongliu's troops!

It's no wonder that everyone is excited, after all, since the rise of Yushan Town, Yushan Town has basically taken the initiative before, and there have rarely been such a situation, so that thousands of people on the other side hit the door, and everyone's hearts are holding a breath of evil!

Liu Juntao was the same, and said: "Since Ye Zongliu sent it to the door by himself, then we can't let Ye Zongliu down!" ”

Hu Dexing also echoed: "Jun Tao, how to fight this battle, you give the order!" ”

Hu Dexing shouted, Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran all shouted, asking to bring people to meet the attack, and even Zhou Zongsheng, who was usually calm and steady, shouted a few words angrily.

Liu Juntao also waved his hand, spread out a map of Yanzhou Mansion on the table, and said to everyone: "Now that Ye Zongliu's vanguard has arrived in Pingyi County, then let's fight a battle in Pingyi County and destroy Ye Zongliu's prestige first!" ”

When the crowd heard this, they applauded.

Liu Zi'an even said: "Pingyi County? Good! It is estimated that Ye Zongliu is worried in his heart, according to the report of my subordinates, the vanguard of about 5,000 people has been wandering around Pingyi County, and there is no sign of continuing to go deeper, obviously they are also testing the reaction of our Yushan Town, and they dare not make the next move! ”

"This is the best, the five thousand people left by Ye Zongliu are considered to be wasted!"

Then, Liu Juntao said: "Zhou Zongsheng! ”

"In!"

"You immediately lead the cavalry department to attack Pingyi County, and be ready to intercept the follow-up soldiers and horses sent by Ye Zongliu at any time, especially to stop the thousands of men and horses who entered the territory of Yanzhou Mansion later, so as to buy time for the enemy to gather and annihilate Pingyi County!"

"Order!"

Then, Liu Juntao smiled and said to Hu Dexing: "Brother Hu, you will fight the first battle!" Be fast and ruthless! Just in Pingyi County, I gathered and annihilated the 5,000 men and horses left by Ye Zong! ”

Hu Dexing smiled when he heard this, and said loudly: "Okay! Juntao, you just wait for the good news! ”

Hu Dexing's ability, Liu Juntao believed in it, so he said to the rest of the Qianzong: "Gao Ran! Immediately lead the people of the department to rush back to Yushan Town, and take over the garrison of Yushan Town from the Central Military Department! ”

"Order!"

"Chen Ziping! Immediately led the people of the department to the south from Huakou Town, rushed to the Yushan Military Bureau, and took over the garrison of Yan Hu's military bureau in Yushan! ”

"Order!"

"Yan Hu! Immediately lead the people of the department to Ansan Town to stand by! ”

"Order!"

Liu Juntao continued: "This time, I will lead the Central Military Department, Yan Hu's Department, and Zhang Xiao's Military Department to the south together, ready to fight with Ye Zongliu!" ”

"At the same time, the baggage department also dispatched with the main army to transport money and food for the army!"

Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Guo Muying, and Tang Yu saw that Liu Juntao had made such a big determination, in order to deal with Ye Zongliu, the entire Yushan Town Escort Team was mobilized, and the number of people who directly participated in the battle reached more than 13,000 people, which was an unprecedented big scene!

What will it be like for more than 13,000 armed firearms troops to drive onto the battlefield?

Including Liu Juntao, everyone is fascinated.

Liu Juntao said secretly in his heart: "After a few years, the escort team has finally been fully weaponized, and I, Liu Juntao, can finally crush the enemy with iron and fire, instead of fighting with human life!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, 2,000 riders of Zhou Zongsheng's department roared south and went straight to Pingyi County.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Dexing also led more than 2,000 young men from his subordinate to the south, and hundreds of young men from the baggage department followed up to escort grain, grass and paper shells for the brigade.

The Great War is about to begin!
