Chapter 394 Take the opportunity to expand the territory

Hong Chengchou appointed Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo as the vanguard, with more than 3,900 cavalry as the vanguard, and went straight to Zhenyuan County, and he himself followed with 2,100 cavalry.

The main purpose of his arrangement was only to let Liu Renyu's troops, who were extremely powerful, rush forward, that is, to dampen the spirit of the thieves, and also to set an example for the people of other departments, he didn't think that Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo's troops alone could deal with the thieves.

But the information that came back from the front line in the past few days shocked him immensely.

Unexpectedly, Liu Renyu was so strong, Red Army friends, Du San'er, Li Dusi, Yang Laochai and other thieves gathered more than 50,000 people, and they fled without a fight.

Then, there was good news from the front line, 4,000 rogue infantry troops were completely annihilated, and 4,000 cavalry were left to flee to Zhenyuan County.

After Hong Chengchou pacified the displaced people, he rushed to follow up, and saw more than 4,000 headless corpses on the bank of the Pu River.

He followed up again, and received another good news, Zhenyuan County was recovered, all the thieves and real thieves fled, Liu Wuguo led troops to clean up the remaining thieves in Zhenyuan, and Liu Renyu led his troops to pursue without hesitation.

The progress of his subordinates was too fast, so Hong Chengchou had to hurry up and go straight to Zhenyuan County.

At this time, Liu Wuguo, who was still in Zhenyuan County, had already divided part of the money in the hands of the thieves and wanted to hide it, and the remaining part was left for everyone to share together.

When all this was ready to stop, Hong Chengchou rushed to Zhenyuan County with the rest of his generals.

Liu Wuguo, who was resting in the county seat of Zhenyuan, heard that Hong Chengchou led his troops to Zhenyuan County, so he hurriedly took Wei Zhongyi out to greet him.

"General Liu, I didn't think that you and Mr. Liu were so powerful, they actually defeated tens of thousands of thieves, and also recovered the original county seat, which is not a small credit." Hong Chengchou saw Liu Wuguo from a distance, so he smiled and said to the other party.

"The commander, speaking of which is all the credit of Mr. Liu, when the thieves wanted to fight with us, Mr. Liu ordered the chariot to open the cover, revealing the cannon, but the thieves saw our cannons, and they were immediately frightened, and ran away without saying a word.

The last general immediately followed Liu Zongzhen in pursuit, closely followed the thieves, the thieves passed through the original county seat and did not dare to enter, the last general and Liu Zongzhen took the opportunity to recover the original county seat. Liu Wuguo thought that Liu Renyu was his own family, so he did not erase Liu Renyu's credit.

"General Liu doesn't have to be too humble, such a great victory is always the cooperation of your department and Mr. Liu's department, and this official will naturally not forget to give you credit, you can rest assured." Hong Chengchou waved his hand.

"That's how I thanked the commander." Liu Wuguo arched his hand, happy in the shape of the color road.

"General Liu, did Mr. Liu lead his troops to pursue the thieves?" Hong Chengchou asked again.

"Exactly, what kind of military dog does Liu Zongzhen have in his hand, which can track the traces of the thieves, so he took his men and horses to chase the thieves." Liu Wuguo replied.

"Mr. Liu is always like this, loyal to the country, diligent in royal affairs, respectable and lamentable!" When Hong Chengchou said this, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and glanced at several generals around him by the way.

Those generals listened to Hong Chengchou's words, and then looked at the other party's eyes that might have some deep meaning, and their faces were red for no reason, and their hearts were depressed.

"What do you see!? If Lao Tzu also has such a strong army under his hands, he will definitely take the initiative to attack like him, what kind of quality are the soldiers and horses under Lao Tzu, if you don't give money, you won't fight, what can Lao Tzu do! ”

"This Liu Renyu is also right, why is he so capable, he has to show off, so it seems that we don't have the heart to do things!"

Fang Lingshen, Yang Jinrong and other generals did not have a very good relationship with Liu Renyu, but now seeing that Liu Renyu's light is too dazzling, they can't help but feel a little jealous.

Speaking of which, Liu Renyu's position has been promoted too quickly, Chongzhen was only a small general manager in the second year, and now he is already the deputy chief soldier of Yansui West Road, these veterans have already dyed frost on their temples, and they are nearly half a hundred years old, and they are just guerrillas and generals.

The generals muttered a lot in their hearts, but they were only a little jealous of Liu Renyu himself, and they didn't want to have a bad relationship with Liu Renyu because of such a trivial matter.

You must know that Liu Renyu crossed the defense area to attack when he suppressed bandits in the past, and went to Ningxia to go shopping, and the guards in Ningxia were jealous of the capture of the Jingbian Fort Army, so they set up checkpoints, planning to draw some taxes and make some benefits, but Liu Renyu had a very hot temper and immediately led people to attack which Ningxia defender.

The Ningxia guards were beaten very badly, and this matter was finally understood under the mediation of Yang He, through this matter, everyone also learned that Liu Renyu is not easy to mess with, and the strength of these generals is not so strong, but they dare not offend Liu Renyu.

Hong Chengchou didn't know that the little Jiujiu in the hearts of the generals was in their hearts, so he immediately ordered everyone to camp on the spot, and wait for Liu Renyu to come back, and then discuss the matter of suppressing the thieves.

When all the Ming troops set up camp according to Hong Chengchou's order, they did not beware of bursts of noise outside the camp, Hong Chengchou heard these voices, and was about to go out to see the situation, when suddenly a pro-soldier rushed to him, with an incredible expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "Commander, Liu Zongzhen, he is back, he came back with the head of the thief, the Red Army Friend, Du San'er, Li Dusi, Yang Laochai, Hao Lin'an, Liu Liu, one is counted as one, all of them are ambushed!" ”

"That's true!" When Hong Chengchou heard the news, he was surprised and jumped up from the maza.

"It's true, Mr. Liu just sent a messenger to report this, and they will be back in a while." The soldier replied in a slump.

"I have a general, if this is the case, it is really a lot of peace of mind, go, go with the official to see." Hong Chengchou was overjoyed, so he called Liu Wuguo and other generals, and all walked outside the camp to wait for Liu Renyu, who returned triumphantly.

At this time, these generals already knew that Liu Renyu had killed all the thieves such as the Red Army Friends, and this news shocked them somewhat.

Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of the thieves is outrageous, and the reason why it is difficult to exterminate is because the thieves are good at escaping, and now this Liu Renyu is also very powerful, and it only took a day of hard work to catch up and destroy the thieves.

Hong Chengchou and his generals waited for a long time, and then they saw a group of men and horses galloping from the northwest direction, and these knights had several heads hanging on their horses, and these heads seemed to be newly cut and still dripping with blood.

The one who is the leader among these knights, Hong Chengchou and the others take a closer look, but it is not who Liu Renyu is!

"Mr. Liu, I heard that you have won a great victory in this battle, and this official is here to welcome you." Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Renyu from a distance and said with a smile.

Liu Renyu saw Hong Chengchou personally come out to greet him, hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, took a few steps forward, bowed and stood solemnly, and said in his mouth: "How dare you work to meet the marshal!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, like Mr. Liu, a good general who is loyal to the country and dedicated to the people, this official should be out to welcome ten miles. Mr. Liu, you have worked hard, from the central part of the attack, until now you have won consecutive battles, I heard that the Ningsai thieves have been completely annihilated by you, right? Hong Chengchou asked.

"If you return to the commander, it is exactly, please look at the commander, this is the Red Army friend, this is Du San'er, this is Li Dusi, this is Yang Laochai, this is Hao Lin'an, this is Liu Liu, they have all been ambushed." Liu Renyu pointed to the head hanging on his horse's head and introduced it to Hong Chengchou one by one.

"Good, good, good, very good, in this way, the two biggest thieves entrenched in our Shaanxi will be wiped out, and Mr. Liu is really a great contribution." Hong Chengchou said a few good words in a row, and praised his right-hand man very happily.

"The commander, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty, this is all marked should be done, it is not a big deal, the thieves in the central county and Zhenyuan county have all been destroyed, but there are still thieves in other places, please call for help, immediately attack, sweep away these thieves, in order to return us to Shaanxi." Liu Renyu asked Zhandao.

"Mr. Liu's levy has not been washed, and he is going to attack again, which really makes the official admire, and the official also knows that if he tells you that he will attack again after a while, you will definitely not listen, so the official can only promise you, but you also have to promise the official one thing." Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"Dare to ask the commander, what's the matter?" Liu Renyu asked.

"At least your men and horses should rest for a while tonight, and it's not too late to attack tomorrow, okay?" Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"How dare you not listen to the commander's order."

"Very good, Mr. Liu, after this war, we rescued 45,000 displaced people, and these people have no place to live, I wonder if you can settle there?"

When Hong Chengchou saw that Liu Renyu did not hesitate to bring 14,000 homeless people back to Jingbian Fort for resettlement last time, he took it for granted that the other party would definitely be able to accommodate more homeless people.

"The military gate, Jingbian Fort is narrow, it can't accommodate so many people, the Ansai county was attacked by thieves before, the people in the entire county were killed, the city houses are gone, and now it has been abandoned, the mark implores the military gate to hand over the Ansai county town to the hands of the target, so that the mark is used to settle the displaced people, I don't know what to do?" Liu Renyu pleaded.
