Before dawn the next day, Bai Yitu really led the soldiers of the Eight Banners to gallop away on war horses, but there would definitely be no less harm to the people along the way.

Kong Youde did not stop it, and let Bai Yitu leave, without Bai Yitu, Kong Youde was confident that he could win this war more easily.

In the morning, before dawn, the soldiers had already dressed and assembled, and then they finished their meals and marched at full speed. By the time it was three o'clock, all the soldiers were ready to go.

"Forward!"

Kong Youde's more than 7,000 Han soldiers are basically infantry, and the marching speed is naturally much slower, which is not as good as Bai Yitu.

"General, if the regent knows that you and General Bai Yitu are separated, you don't know ...... regent," a young general leaned into Kong Youde's ear and said.

Kong Youde waved his hand helplessly and said: "There is no need to say any more, Bai Yitu didn't want to follow this general from the beginning, even if the regent asked this king, he was not afraid, this is not the king's fault, I believe that the regent can see right and wrong, and he will definitely not wronged this king." ”

Guide to the province

Early in the morning, Liu Xia called most of the generals in the city over to discuss the matter, because Liu Xia had received news from the Qing army not long ago.

Liu Xia got straight to the point and said directly: "General Ben got the news just now that there was infighting in the Qing army, and the two generals who led the troops did not agree, and now a general has rushed to Guide Mansion one step ahead, and he doesn't know where to go or where to cross the river. ”

Chen Liu asked Gong Sheng: "Does the general know which general left, and why is there internal strife within the Qing army?" ”

Liu Xia said indifferently: "As for why there is infighting, General Ben doesn't know, according to the news that came, it was the deputy general who led the troops this time, a Manchu Tartar, called Bai Yitu, this person is the head of the Manchu Eight King Kongs, and his courage should not be underestimated." Kong Youde led more than 1,000 Tartars in the enemy army to ride away with him, and now Kong Youde still has about 7,000 people under him, but they are all infantry. After Bai Yitu left with more than a thousand Tartars, he didn't know where to go, and Kong Youde was now rushing to Kaocheng at full speed. ”

"How's it going to be with what General Ben has told you to do?" Liu Xia suddenly asked several other battalion commanders.

Liu Dazhuang and the others said in unison: "General Hui, the last general is ready." ”

Liu Xia frowned and said to Chen Liu: "Now our ** has been buried, but the Qing army is divided into two roads, one of which we don't know where we are now, this ......"

Chen Liu knew what Liu Xia wanted to say, so he said: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, his subordinates have also heard of this Bai Yitu, if you want to say that he really has the courage of ten thousand people, there are not many people who can defeat him." But when it comes to strategy, he's a reckless man, and we just need to be vigilant with some scouts scattered around the city, and let us know as soon as we find any traces of Baiyitu. ”

Liu Xia nodded.

According to Liu Xia's request, the recruits returned to the city to defend the city, and the logistics battalion did a good job of logistics and also defended the city like the recruit battalion, and the other battalions were ready to fight.

Relying on ** alone is not willing to kill all of Kong Youde's 8,000 people, and Liu Xia didn't think about relying on ** to kill Kong Youde's 8,000 people.

** The effect is only to cause certain casualties to Kong Youde, and at the same time greatly reduce the morale of Kong Youde's army.

It can be imagined that Kong Youde led the army to suddenly explode underground every time he arrived in a place where he had not yet gained a foothold, even if not many people died, but there would definitely be a shadow in the hearts of the soldiers.

Then after walking a distance, it exploded again, and some people died, which once again greatly reduced the morale of the enemy army, and after several repeated tosses, the Qing army would definitely be exhausted, and at this time, Liu Xia would definitely be able to defeat Kong Youde's army by making a surprise attack.

Originally, Liu Xia was also worried that there were a thousand cavalry from Bai Yitu, so that his soldiers would not be able to escape from harassing him on the road all the time. But now that there is no 1,000 cavalry of Bai Yitu, Liu Xia's idea can be implemented.

At the same time of the continuous explosion, let the cavalry harass at any time. Kong Youde's soldiers were all infantry, and Liu Xia was not worried that the cavalry would not be able to run.

"The Tiger Battalion, the Wolf Howling Battalion, and the Lion Battalion carry out separate operations according to the battalion as the basic combat unit, harassing Kong Youde's army all the time along the way, and sending scouts from the recruits to monitor the surrounding cities, and report to the general immediately once they find the traces of Bai Yitu. The gates of the city were closed for several days, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Didn't hear it? ”

Liu Xia shouted.

"Yes!"

Although there are only more than 100 people in the guard battalion now, all of them are strong heroes, and they are always by Liu Xia's side to protect Liu Xia's safety.

Liu Xia is the commander-in-chief of this battle, and he will naturally go out of the city to meet the battle, according to the progress, Kong Youde's army will attack the Guide Mansion tomorrow, and tonight is the last night of Liu Xia's stability.

"Order the logistics battalion to make good meals in the next few days, so that the soldiers are well fed and drunk, and then they will have the strength to fight."

Wang Enzheng said: "Obey the order, the last general will definitely order the logistics battalion to arrange the food properly." ”

…………

At three o'clock, Liu Xia finally dragged his tired body back to the backyard after arranging all the work, at this time the sun was still shining fiercely on the earth, and everywhere in the city was busy, some places were polishing weapons, some places were eating meat, and some were stepping up training.

Liu Xia was busy all morning and half an afternoon, both physically and mentally exhausted, and tomorrow Kong Youde's army began to come to Guide Mansion. Liu Xia was a little excited in his heart, and he was also a little worried, the last battle could not be called the first time he fought with Kong Youde.

This time is the first time to fight with this famous general in history, Liu Xia is still a little worried in his heart, the progress of history has basically been changed by him now, and Liu Xia has no advantage in predicting history, so he can only take one step at a time.

It is Liu Xia's wish to live well.

Bian Yujing greeted him quickly, and helped Liu Xia to walk into the house.

Since sharing the bed with Bian Yujing that day, Bian Yujing was asked by Liu Xia to live together, although Bian Yujing was a little shy and reluctant, but in the end he obeyed Liu Xia's wishes.

Before he arrived in the house, a young girl came out of the house, not much different from Bian Yujing's appearance, and the two looked very similar, this woman was Bian Min.

Bian Min came here yesterday, when Liu Xia was discussing the military and did not go to receive Bian Min, so he did not see Bian Min's real person, and at night Liu Xia came back very late, returned to the house and fell asleep, at that time Bian Min was arranged by Bian Yujing in other rooms, and did not see Bian Min.

Liu Xia got up very early this morning and went out early, and he didn't see Bian Min. Now it can be regarded as the first time Liu Xia has really seen Bian Min.

Although Liu Xia had seen the portrait of Bian Min painted by Bian Yujing before, but it was not a real person, now when he looked at Bian Min and then looked at Bian Yujing, he saw that the two looked a little similar, and both of them were beauties, Liu Xia couldn't help but think of the word sister flower.

But soon Liu Xia didn't have the heart to think about it, because he was too tired, and he had already reached the bed in the house at this time, and Bian Min also retreated.

"General, that is the concubine's sister just now, I came yesterday, but the general didn't see anything at that time, just now my sister came to me to catch up, and I knew that the general was back, so I left in a hurry." A gentle smile appeared on Bian Yujing's face.

Liu Xia lay on the bed and said with a dry smile: "Sister, let her live here, she must have suffered a lot along the way." ”

Bian Yujing sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a look of unbearability on his face: "Yes, thanks to those four young generals along the way, if it weren't for them, my sister would be ...... now."

Liu Xia said: "Those four people can be regarded as elite soldiers, I awarded the four of them, one of them to Fen Yong Lieutenant, and three to Fen Wu Lieutenant, they did a good job." ”

More than 1,000 Tartars trampled on the grain that was about to be harvested, without feeling a little guilty, although some farmers not far away saw it, but no one dared to stop it, this is more than 1,000 people, where can a few of their small farmers provoke?

Bai Yitu turned to a Tartar beside him and asked, "What is this place?" You go and see. ”

When the Tartar received the order, he rushed to the peasant household, pointed a large knife in his hand at an old man of seventy or eighty years old with pale hair, and said, "Old man, do you know what kind of place this is, and how far it is from Guide Mansion?" ”

The old man was so frightened that he suddenly trembled, and stammered: "Hui, back to the adult, if you are an adult, this is the ...... of Cao County."

"Cao County?" The tartar muttered to himself, but then said: "We were in Cao County before, why are we still in Cao County after walking for a few hours?" ”

Then the tartar shouted angrily, "You have to lie to me, damned dog." After all, he didn't give the old man a chance to explain, and he directly hacked the old man to death with a knife, and immediately blood flowed and the whole ground was stained red.

The family members of the old man standing next to him only watched and did not dare to move, and they trembled with fear when they saw the old man being killed.

"You, come here"

The tartar pointed to the old man's son, a man in his thirties and forties.

The man's face turned white with fright, and his wife beside him grabbed his hand tightly, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Hurry up!" The tartar shouted angrily, and the man didn't dare to disobey and hurriedly shook off his wife's hand, and walked slowly towards the tartar, his face sweating more and more.

Tartar looked at this man's appearance, full of ridicule, and said: "The Han people are so cowardly, I really don't know how to occupy such a great mountain and river, and this great mountain and river should belong to our Qing Dynasty." ”

The man asked timidly, "My lord, I don't know what to tell you to find the little one." ”

The Tartar general shouted, "Where is this?" How far is it from Guide? ”

The man knew that his father had been killed just now because he replied that this was Cao County, and after having a plan in his heart, he said: "Lord Huiyu, this is the Yellow River, and four or five miles further south is the Yellow River, and after crossing the Yellow River, it is Guide Mansion." ”
