Then he said to the Xuanwei military officer who was in charge of delivering the letter: "You go back and tell Yang Jianjun that the Xuanwei army can so quickly annihilate all the Li Yue people who invaded Qinzhou and recover most of the land, Benzhou is very happy, and after sending people to Nasuo and Dongxing to verify, Benzhou will definitely ask for credit for Yang Jianjun and Xuanwei Army!" ”

The detainee immediately thanked: "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou!" The Xuanwei Army is fighting with the enemy this time, and there is a lot of loss of military resources and ordnance, especially feather arrows, please allocate more to supplement it! ”

Mao Qi said with a smile: "It's easy to say, as long as the entire territory of Qinzhou can be recovered, what the Xuanwei army needs, Benzhou will definitely find a way to meet it." ”

The official said: "Time is pressing, the fighter plane is fleeting, tomorrow we will return to Dongxing by sea, please prepare as soon as possible." ”

Mao Qi said: "Okay, after a long journey, you go down to rest first, and allocate military funds for the Xuanwei Army early tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhizhou!" After thanking the officer, he left the hall.

Mao Qi took the battle report, he was already excited and sleepy, more than 6,000 Li Yue enemy troops in the north and south were annihilated by the Xuanwei army, the crisis in Anyuan County has been solved, and even Dongxing Town has been re-robbed, driving the enemy back to the west of Dongxing, and now it seems that Qinzhou has been stable and worry-free.

The Xuanwei Army is worthy of the name of the Xuanwei Army, it is really good! When they have completely wiped out the enemies in Qinzhou, they may be able to recommend them to the Yongzhou Governor's Office and let them make new contributions.

Early the next morning, the Qinzhou Prefecture Government informed the Xuanwei Army to go to collect military supplies and ordnance.

Moltke was very generous, and allocated a large number of supplies to Yang Congyi's Xuanwei army, but there were few people who came back this time, and they couldn't move so much at all, but fortunately, the Xuanwei army that had escorted the prisoners back to Qinzhou City in the previous two groups did not leave, and the three teams of men and horses met and their power increased greatly.

With the help of the Qinzhou Prefecture Government, after all the supplies were loaded on the ship, they went down the river from the Qinjiang River outside Qinzhou City, and arrived at the shore where the Xuanwei Army's warships and sea ships docked in more than an hour. Later, the supplies were moved from small boats to sea ships and warships.

Two hours later, the three teams drove four sea ships and six warships, lifted anchor and hoisted their sails, all the way to the west, and sailed back to Dongxing Town.

Luo Cong stayed in Dongxing Town, and Yang Congyi, Su Zhong and others led 1,800 people to the north, each of them with two pots of arrows, a bow, a knife, and ten days of rations.

They would change their local guide every day they walked, so they could always find a shortcut to the north and march much faster. The Xuanwei army marched to Natong in a hurry, and after quickly getting rid of more than 20 Li Yue enemy troops stationed here, it continued to advance westward, and it took another day to reach Dongzhong, where there were more enemy troops left behind, more than 100 people.

The Xuanwei army took down the mountain with a thunderous momentum, and then rested here for half a day, and adjusted and changed the follow-up plan.

It connects three places, and can go to Nasuo and Fulong in the east, enter Anyuan County and Shangsi County, go north to Tongmian and Nanan, enter Zuozhou and Ningming, and go west to Pingliao and Xian'an, and go straight to the border of Li and Yue. This place is a military stronghold, and it has to be defended.

The Xuanwei army again divided two hundred troops and stationed them in Dongzhong, while the rest continued to look north for opportunities.

The road from the north is gradually difficult to walk, the mountains are getting higher and higher, the valleys are getting deeper and deeper, and the population is becoming more and more sparse.

Two days later, they arrived at Tongmian, which was also occupied by the Li Yue people, and there were not many enemy troops, and they were quickly wiped out. Here, Yang Congyi and others finally heard the news of Li Yue's army.

It turned out that when Li Yue's army confronted the men and horses of the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion, he quietly sent a group of 5,000 elite soldiers to Zuozhou from Tongmian, Nanan, and Jiangbei to the north, and struck a hard blow from behind the Great Song Dynasty defenders.

The land of Yulin Prefecture and Zuozhou has been lost, and behind Fusui is Yongzhou City, and if Fusui is lost again, it can only retreat to Yongzhou, so I don't know when this battle will be big and it will be over.

After opening the map, everyone discussed it carefully, and decided to go deep behind the place and harass the enemy's food route.

Tongmian, the mountain road of Nan is not easy to walk, from here to Jiangbei and then to Zuozhou, although the distance is close, but not suitable for transporting grain and grass, so that the enemy army hits this way, no enemy army comes, otherwise it can ambush the enemy army here.

"Let's go to Ningming!" After discussing it for a long time, I couldn't pay attention to it, after all, it was too dangerous to go deep into the enemy camp, but Yang Congyi thought that the more dangerous it was, the greater the chance of a successful sneak attack, so he finally made a decision and went to Ningming to do a big job.

Tongmian also left a hundred people, their task in addition to stationing, is to find out the news, Pingliao, Xian'an in the west, Nanan, Jiangbei in the north, all have to send people out to see, the situation is not right, so they sent people to report to the Xuanwei army, and the others withdrew to Dongzhong.

The remaining more than 1,500 people, with the help of their guides, marched for two days and arrived near Zhai'an, and a few miles north was the county seat of Ningming.

The three battalions are together, and the target is too big, which is very unfavorable to whether it is a lurking or a sneak attack.

So Yang Congyi, Su Zhong, and Pan Cheng each took a battalion of people, one battalion to the west, one battalion to the east, and one battalion to the north, and lurked separately to inquire about the news.

Yang Congyi led a battalion of Xuanwei army to the north, and arrived near the county seat of Ningming half a day later, but was blocked by a river more than ten zhang wide, and then the whole army lurked on the south side of the river, while sending spies to cross the river and sneak into the city to inquire about the news in the county, while collecting boats to cross the river.

Since this place had already been taken by the Li Yue people, the army marched east to Yongzhou, but Ning Ming became the rear of Li Yue's army, and the defense was very lax, and the spies sent quickly crossed the river and entered Ning Ming.

Yang Congyi looked at the big river in front of him and was a little worried, and looked around within a radius of five miles, except for finding a few small boats that were two zhang long, there were no other boats, in addition to finding that the location of the Xuanwei army was not far away, it was actually a bay where two rivers meet, and the other big river was twenty or thirty zhang wide, flowing to the north.

This unexpected situation made Yang Congyi, Su Zhong and others very passive, and 1,500 people were separated by the river in the south, unable to go west, not to go east, and not to cross the river in the north.

In desperation, they sent spies to search upstream along the narrow river to find a place to cross.

The occasional houses around Ningming are also empty, and judging from the situation of spider webs, they are uninhabited for at least a month. Since this place has been occupied by the Li Yue people, it is not surprising that the local people have either fled or been killed, and there is no one around.

When he waited for nothing to do, Yang Congyi took out the map again and looked at the map from west to east, running through the entire southern part of Guangnan, connecting Yulin, Zuozhou, Yongzhou, Hengzhou, Guizhou and other places.

Looking at it, my heart moved, although the map is very simple, a curve, a few turns, but if I remember correctly, this river should flow into Guangdong, from the vicinity of Guangzhou into the sea, then in this way, the river in front of me should also flow into the big river on the map, this river is twenty or thirty zhang wide, the river on the map should be at least forty-five zhang wide, such a big river, if used to transport grain and grass baggage, it is completely enough, but I don't know if Li Yue people will use this river.

A day later, the spies who infiltrated Ningming brought back the news, Ningming is not a big place, but there are a lot of people, at least 2,000 enemy troops gathered, thousands of people, one of which is very suspicious, the enemy is tightly guarded, can not get close, can only see many people under the supervision of Li Yueren, keep carrying things.

Heavily guarded and carried. What can I move here? Li Yueren really won't let go of the river, since they have taken Zuozhou, they will also attack Yongzhou, this big river from Yulin to Yongzhou, can not only transport troops, but also transport grain, grass and baggage.

Yang Congyi immediately called Su Zhong and Pan Cheng to tell them the news, and asked them to find a way to cross the river as soon as possible.

Trapped by the river for a day or two, they were in a depressed mood, and suddenly heard that this was good news, Su Zhong and Pan Cheng immediately became excited and volunteered to take people to find the way to cross the river.

Half a day later, Su Zhong sent someone to bring the good news that they had erected a wooden bridge five miles away and could cross the river safely.

This is another piece of good news, Yang Congyi quickly brought the Xuanwei army over.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, Yang Congyi saw dozens of Xuanwei army corpses placed by the river, and his eyes suddenly felt cold.

"What's going on?"

Su Zhong replied with some embarrassment: "There was an accident when building the bridge. ”

"I told you earlier, the Xuanwei army is all elite, and their lives are very precious, and they are used to make war exploits, serve the country, and serve the court, not to squander and waste!" The Xuanwei army is not numerous, and when it goes out, there will be one less if it dies, and before the war has started, dozens of people have died, so how can he not be angry.

"The prison army, Su Lao Er is also eager to build a bridge, a little impatient, and an oversight only let them fall into the river, all in order to win the battle, and ask the prison army for forgiveness." Pan Cheng persuaded on the side.

"I'm out on the road, so I won't worry about you for the time being. Remember the names of the deceased and pay compensation according to the war death. "At this time, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, and the top priority is to take Ning Ming first.

"Yes." Su Zhong bowed his head.

Pan Cheng crossed the river with a battalion of Xuanwei army first, Yang Congyi's battalion followed, and Su Zhong finished behind.

After crossing the river, they did not immediately rush to Ningming, but lurked.

According to the report, the journey into Ningming is only six or seven miles, the road is flat, there are no ditches and rivers, and it will arrive in half an hour. According to the plan of Yang Congyi and others, after dark, they rushed over, killed the guards, and destroyed all the supplies.

The enemy army has at least 2,000 people, while the Xuanwei army has only 1,500 people, and if he fights the enemy head-on, Yang Congyi is not sure that he will be able to win.

Moreover, this place should be no more than a hundred miles away from Yulin City, reinforcements will arrive at any time, and the Xuanwei army will not succeed in a battle, so they must retreat immediately, otherwise when the enemy army reacts and sends troops to take Tongmian, they will have no way out, and it will be difficult to escape the fate of destruction.
