Outside the city of Yanzhou, on the open space, nearly 10,000 men, women and children dressed in common people's clothes and holding various weapons were driven by a group of warriors dressed in red and holding steel swords, and they were rushing to the city wall one after another like a tide to attack the city.

The defenders at the head of the city used a variety of weapons to beckon the thieves below.

All of a sudden, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of miserable howls, the sound of firing guns, and the sound of cannon bombardment resounded in the sky.

In a land temple facing the city of Juzhou, Wang Jiayin, who was wearing a felt hat and a big red robe, tightened his eyebrows, sat silently on a Taishi chair, and quietly watched the siege battle.

In front of Wang Jiayin, there were several men dressed as ordinary people standing in a group, talking about something.

"King, we retreated from Yan'an to Yanzhou that day, it has been 4 days, these days, there are successively scattered troops to vote, according to the captains of each team, we have gathered no less than 3,000 people." King Zuo Cheng said happily to himself.

"King, we have been in Dunzhou for a few days, and we have brought in more than 10,000 people in the past few days. When we enter Yanzhou, we must enjoy it, and rob our children more, and all the fucking ones that we used to rob were lost to the official army. Wang Jiaxiang felt sorry for all the beauties and silver he had robbed, because he wanted to make up for all the losses in this place in Dunzhou.

"The sixth master is right. We easily saved some belongings, but we didn't think that they were all lost in Yan'an, if we could defeat Yanzhou, it would be great, just to get back our losses. ”

The big and small leaders felt that Wang Jiaxiang's words really spoke to their hearts, so they all echoed it again and again.

Some of the leaders have even begun to calculate how to plunder the city of Yanzhou in pieces.

The discussion was boiling, so it was not lively, and they didn't notice that Wang Jiayin was always in a daze, expressionless, and looked bitter and hateful.

King Zuo Cheng noticed that his king seemed to be a little distracted, so he made a gesture to stop the noise of everyone, and then he asked softly: "King, what's wrong with you, you haven't been very happy since you got out of Yan'an, what's wrong, tell the brothers." ”

When Wang Jiayin heard this question, he seemed to wake up from a dream, and replied with such a sentence: "That day that the general of the official army seemed to defeat tens of thousands of us with only a few hundred people, it's really terrible to think about." Since we started the army, we have never encountered such hard stubble. ”

As soon as Wang Jiayin's words came out, everyone on the field was suddenly silent, they recalled the battle situation that day, and they were still a little scalp fried, and their hearts were cold, indeed the officers and soldiers they encountered that day were really too powerful.

King Zuo Cheng saw that as soon as his king said a word, everyone's originally high fighting spirit was immediately suppressed, so he hurriedly said with relief: "King, I think that the official army must be the local soldiers of Yansui, we are not in Yansui at the moment, we are in Shaanxi, the officers and soldiers may not come to chase us, we are very safe." ”

"Yes! Then the officers and soldiers we met before did not fight to the death with us, they all fought with us alive, why did the officers and soldiers fight with us to the end along the way? This king thinks that the officers and soldiers on this road are a little unreasonable, and maybe they will come to fight us. The more Wang Jiayin thought about it, the more he felt that the behavior of the officers and soldiers was a little weird, and maybe he wouldn't play cards according to common sense.

When Wang Ziyong was about to unravel again, he ran to Wang Jiayin out of breath without beware of a small guy, and knelt down on one knee with a sad face and said: "King, the big thing is not good, there is a large group of officers and soldiers coming towards Juzhou City, and it is only 10 miles away from our army. ”

"What!? They're really coming. When Wang Jiayin heard this little guy say that an official army was coming, he thought that Liu Renyu had led the troops to kill him again, and he was immediately frightened.

When the leaders of his command heard that the official army was coming, they all thought that the team that came today was the one that made them cry and cry in Yan'an that day, and they were all frightened and frightened.

"Big, big, big, big king, the officials and soldiers are really good, what can I do?" A small leader trembled and asked Wang Jiayin.

"Previously, our army was in Yan'an, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers who had to use soldiers, and they could not resist the official army, and now our army only has 3,000 soldiers left.

"Dare to ask the king, where should our army go?" Wang Ziyong asked.

"Now that Yulin's army is near Yan'an, it is expected that Yulin will be empty, our army should quickly go east, cross the river to Shanxi, Yansui's soldiers may come to Shaanxi, but they will never go to Shanxi, because the governor of the three sides can not control the Shanxi side, when we arrive in Shanxi, we will collect food along the way, and then return to Fugu.

Fugu is our hometown, and we are familiar with the road, so let's repair it in Fugu for a while. When the time comes, if the wind is too tight, you can also take the river meanders to avoid the limelight, what do you think of the king's plan? Wang Jiayin asked his subordinates.

"The king's plan is very good, without further ado, let's move quickly, and we will be afraid of it." Wang Ziyong saw that his own king had already decided on a strategy, of course, he hoped to leave as soon as possible.

"Let's go, all the people who have been coerced are thrown away, and the children and jade silks that have been robbed in recent days are also thrown away, and the officials and soldiers will definitely cut off the people's heads to invite merit, and they will also rob gold and silver treasures and women, take advantage of this opportunity, let's go day and night, go to Yanchang County and cross the river into Shanxi, as long as you enter Shanxi, villages and towns and fortresses, which one you see, you will open it, and the children's jade silk will be used by you. Now go out at once, gather your troops, and let us go at once. ”

"Yes, King, let's go."

When a group of subordinates received the order, they hurried out of the land temple and gathered their subordinates with shouting and shouting.

It is said that when they gathered their subordinates, they did not shout out that the officers and soldiers were coming. Because if it is said that the official army is coming now, there is no doubt that there will be chaos on their side, and their own men and horses, who have been frightened, may run away directly, if so, there is no way to gather forces to kill and plunder in Shanxi, so they first ordered their subordinates to gather.

When his subordinates were still busy gathering their respective parts, Wang Jiayin came to the open space in the west of the city early with a dozen guards and waited quietly.

After a short time, the various leaders under his command brought the troops to him one after another.

These thieves who were still in the overseer and were coerced to attack Juzhou City were called to Wang Jiayin's side by their own leaders, all of them were confused and didn't know why. After all, this battle was fought well, why did it suddenly come here.

Wang Jiayin saw that his right-hand men had arrived, so he cleared his throat and said solemnly: "The spies just came to report that there is a team of officers and soldiers coming towards Yanzhou City, and it looks like it is less than 10 miles away from us. ”

Hiss!

As soon as Wang Jiayin said this, there was no surprise, the faces of all the thieves were full of shock, and some of them were relatively timid, and even began to tremble.

"Don't panic, the officers and soldiers are still far away from us, let's go east now, and cross the Yellow River when we get to Yanchang, the Yellow River is frozen, we can go over on horseback, you don't have anything to bring, let's go immediately, what have you lost, let's go to Shanxi and get it back." Alright, let's go. ”

After Wang Jiayin said this, he quickly stepped up, took the first step, and went straight to the direction of Yanchang County.

When the thieves saw their king riding away on horseback, where would they stop, they all rode their horses and whips, urged their horses, and galloped away towards the east.

*********

At the same time, on the official road 5 miles away from Yanzhou, Zhang Mingzhe rode his horse to the side of a thief spy who had several arrows in his body, had difficulty breathing, and was about to die. Or will it run away from the wind? ”

"Previously, Liu Garrison defeated this group of thieves, and it was expected that this group of thieves had already fallen into fear, and he was afraid that he would flee when he saw the banner of my imperial court's heavenly army. But what the truth is, I don't know, let's go to the city of Yanzhou to see, if the thieves are still under the city, then it's okay, let's just fight, if the thieves are really afraid, they will escape, we will definitely chase after them, and eliminate the evil. Otherwise, they will resurrect and cause trouble everywhere, and we will inevitably have to run around and work hard. ”

"What Qin Wuye said is, then let's go down to Yanzhou City to have a look, and see if the thieves are there, and then make plans when there is conclusive news, what do you think?" Zhang Mingzhe politely said to this 'grain supervisor' sent by Hong Chengchou.

"Haha, General Zhang, you are the general here, and you don't have the final say in everything." Seeing that Zhang Mingzhe was so careful, Qin Wuye said politely.

"Hey, hey, then let's hurry to Yanzhou City to have a look." After Zhang Mingzhe said this, he led more than 1,200 cavalry under his command and quickly pounced on Juzhou City.

The distance of 5 miles is not very far for the cavalry galloping at full speed, that is, it takes about ten minutes to reach the city of Yanzhou.

At this time, because all the thieves and thieves who had supervised the war had retreated, the people who had been coerced had no external pressure, so they ceased the war on their own, and each took the family as the basic unit and the villages, towns and fortresses as the regional division, and all sat on the ground and rested woodly.

The officials and soldiers in the city saw that the thieves suddenly stopped fighting, although they didn't know what the thieves meant, but they also wanted to rest for a while when they took such an opportunity, so the people in the city and the city looked at each other silently, and the scene was a little strange for a while.

After Zhang Mingzhe's men and horses came to the city of Dunzhou, all the people who were coerced by the thieves looked at the officials and soldiers in front of them without joy or sorrow, and they didn't even have the will to escape, they just waited for fate to rule on them so numbly.
