After the hard work of the day, Hong Chengchou ordered the whole army to attack immediately, only to rush to the direction of Lanzhou, the Jingbianbao army and the Guyuan army had just defeated the Chahar army, and the morale was booming.

Among them, the attitude of the Guyuan Army was more positive, because they always thought that with the Jingbian Fort Army on the side, they would definitely have a great chance of winning the battle against the Beiyu, and after defeating the Beiyu, they would cut off their heads, and if they were lucky, they could not say that they could share a little more from the hands of the Jingbianbao Army.

Even if you die in battle, you can get a generous settlement fee, now Shaanxi is full of drought, the price of grain is extremely high, if you can die and get a large amount of settlement silver, die and live the whole family, it is not impossible.

Driven by such unprecedented huge interests, the combat effectiveness of the Guyuan Army burst out, and even Li Mingzhe, the commander-in-chief, was inexplicable.

Besides, the Chahar army ran all the way west, and not long after they ran to Lanzhou, they were targeted by Liu Renjie, and as soon as the Jingbianbao army and the Guyuan army arrived, they quickly retreated and continued to run westward, and the Jingbianbao army and the Guyuan army continued to chase closely, and the Chahar army ran again.

It was not until the Chahar army ran all the way into the Qinghai steppe that the Jingbianbao army and the Guyuan army stopped attacking and no longer pursued.

In the course of this battle, none of the major cities in Shaanxi Province fell, but some people were killed or wounded, which was still a great victory in Hong Chengchou's view.

After the battle, Liu Renyu, Li Mingzhe, Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Renjie, Wang Zuohang, Li Mingzhe and others were rewarded for their promotions, that is, the civil and military officials who guarded Pingliang and meritorious service, and they were also rewarded for their merits, and even He Ergou, who stayed behind in Jingbian Fort and did not come to the battlefield, and Ma Wenshan, who supervised the construction of the new factory in Liaodong, did not pull down.

Hong Chengchou has promised Liu Renyu that he will do his best to fulfill all the requests of the Jingbianbao Army, and he intends to arrange the position of the general of the Yansui Army in this way, and Wang Chengen will not have to be the position of the Yansui General Army, and hand it over to Liu Renyu, and the position of the deputy general of Yansui West Road will be handed over to Li Jiye, and the rest of Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Renjie, Ma Wenshan, He Ergou, Wang Zuojiao and others will be promoted to deputy generals.

Sun Wuzhi and others were promoted to generals, He Yaozong, Ke Zhihong, Manniu, Silly Big Man, Fan Xiongxin, Wang Xuewu and others were promoted to guerrilla generals.

In addition to these people, the rest of the people also have their own rewards.

After the battle, Hong Chengchou, Liu Renyu and Li Mingzhe had a banquet in Huamachi, ate wine and dinner, and other related matters, and the martyrs of Jingbianbao after the army returned to Jingbianbao, were buried, bereaved, and reunited with their families, and the people of Jingbianbao rejoiced, and welcomed the return of the victorious army to Jingbianbao.

only said that Liu Renyu heard from Hong Chengchou that after Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, pulled himself to Shanxi to suppress thieves, he made a promise that as soon as the New Year of Chongzhen's five years was over, and Chongzhen's new year was over, he would lead the army to go out and only go to Shanxi.

For Liu Renyu's request, Hong Chengchou immediately agreed, because even if it is a thief, it is necessary to celebrate the New Year, after all, whether it is an official or a thief, they are all mixed food, and the New Year's Eve is a big deal, the family is reunited, happy, and auspicious, so there is no need to do the thing of fighting and killing, so as not to accidentally kill three or five people, it will not be beautiful.

When Liu Renyu was celebrating the New Year at home, he didn't forget to send someone to Liaodong to summon Ma Wenshan back.

That Ma Wenshan only took half a year to build the new army fort and factory in Liaodong, and then he was idle and had nothing to do, in addition to training, he also deliberately discussed with Zu Dashou, so that the Liaodong army also began to use tunnel warfare according to the experience of the Jingbian Fort Army.

Excavate a tunnel, the Dalinghe City, the Qinghe Fort where the new factory is located, and Jinzhou City are all connected together, this tunnel is completely in accordance with the configuration of the Jingbian Fort Army to repair, but the underground is widened, and it is reinforced with cement, the ground is laid with rails, and the horse-drawn train is used to communicate with each other.

On the day of the completion of these underground passages, Zu Dashou sighed repeatedly: "Our army has a tunnel, so we don't have to be afraid of the enemy's tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements, he besieges the Daling River, our army's food, soldiers can be transported from Qinghe Fort, and Jinzhou City, if he locks the Daling River and attacks Jinzhou, our army can also use the tunnel, attack from all sides, cut off its grain road, this tunnel is really good." ”

Zhang Chun, the governor of Ningyuan, also felt that this tunnel was indeed a good strategy to crack the tactics of Jiannu encirclement and reinforcements, so he sent instructions to the imperial court, and used the tunnel to connect Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Songshan, and Xingshan.

Ma Wenshan finished repairing the factory, and there was nothing to do, and he happened to receive Liu Renyu's order, so he took his own sword and shield soldiers, as well as the Liaodong soldiers who were recruited, a total of more than 4,000 soldiers, and the families of these Liaodong soldiers, a total of more than 10,000 people, left Qinghe Fort and returned to Jingbian Fort in a mighty way.

These Liaodong soldiers, who served as soldiers under Ma Wenshan, were well paid, had excellent equipment, and already had some sense of belonging to the Jingbian Fort army, and now they heard that when they returned to Jingbian Fort, they could also get the fields and the kind of good-looking garden-style houses in Qinghe Fort, so they were willing to follow Ma Wenshan back to Jingbian Fort.

After Ma Wenshan left, the Qinghe Fort guard was replaced by the original garrison of Wang Chengen, the general of Yansui, this Wang Chengen was quite effective in fighting when Jiannu invaded the Beijing Division, and was appreciated by Sun Chengzong.

The position of governor of Yansui was temporarily replaced by Du Wenhuan, and later Shen Yiyuan and Shen Yikui rebelled and killed all Du Wenhuan's relatives at home in the Dingbian camp, so he was disheartened and resigned from the post of chief soldier of Yansui.

Chen Qiyu, the new governor of Yansui, in view of the fact that there was no suitable general army under his command for the time being, kept Du Wenhuan, and in the end, it was only Liu Renyu who served as the general soldier of Yansui that Du Wenhuan unloaded his burden and returned to the Dingbian camp.

Wang Chengen's errand was done, he didn't have to go back to Yansui by himself, Sun Chengzong recommended him, he came to the newly built reinforced concrete military fort Qinghe Fort, as a Ningyuan forward chief officer, stationed in Qinghe Fort, and Daling River is separated by fifteen miles, each other is a horn, as a barrier for the imperial court in the forefront of Liaodong.

It was precisely because of the assistance of the tunnel that Liu Renyu thought that it was a waste of talent to put Ma Wenshan in Liaodong, so he specially ordered Ma Wenshan to come back, bring everyone back with him, and after meeting with the army, he entered Shanxi to suppress the thieves.

At this time, the thieves operating in Shanxi were no longer the 200,000, 13 families, 36 battalions and the like recorded in the history books of later generations, but 300,000 people.

The reason why there will be 100,000 more than the original history is because there is a demon king like Liu Renyu who kills people without blinking an eye and surrenders and kills, as long as the thieves in Shaanxi have an accident, their first reaction is not to do business in Shaanxi, but to quickly cross the Yellow River to Shanxi to find an organization.

As a result, the entire Shanxi, except for Datong, which was a little more peaceful because the official army was too fierce, the rest of the places were destroyed by thieves, and some thieves simply went to Beizhili to fight a few autumn winds because of insufficient territory, which alarmed the emperor.

Xu Dingchen was severely reprimanded by the emperor's decree, and then he became ruthless, and wanted to find Liu Renyu, who was called the living king of Yama, to suppress the thief.

Liu Renyu also happened to want Shanxi to suppress the thieves, and the two sides hit it off, and Liu Renyu took advantage of the three or four months before the arrival of spring to expand the army again.

He expanded the army this time because Liu Renyu got more than 1,300 people under Jiang Riguang's hands, and the strength rose to more than 3,000 people, and Ma Wenshan's men also had as many as 4,000 people, and the rest of the generals were a little red-eyed.

As a result, the number of troops under Liu Renyu's command suddenly increased to 24,000, which was an extremely terrifying force.

Although Liu Renyu has so many soldiers under his command, he is not afraid that someone will suspect him, because the soldiers under his command are all divided into various generals, and these generals will be divided into Yan'an, Suide and other places in the future, and his nominal subordinates are only 12,000 people, which is not a lot.

In addition to the soldiers and horses belonging to Liu Renjie, Wang Zuojiao and Ma Wenshan, he also has a force under his direct command, which is commonly known as the pro-soldiers, these pro-soldiers are all older students selected from the school, and they are grateful to Liu Renyu and Dade, and have been influenced by the democratic ideology of the Social Democratic Party.

These men were all between the ages of eighteen and twenty, all of whom had undergone rigorous training, were highly skilled in military affairs, were not afraid of death, and were political soldiers, and Liu Renyu specially gave them the disgusting name of the SS of the Social Democrats.

The usefulness of young people lies in the fact that they have not experienced the devastation of life, think about things very simply, and can often sacrifice their lives for the sake of a moment of blood.

The young people in the SS regarded Liu Renyu as an idol and could give everything for Liu Renyu at any time, and Liu Renyu could not rest assured that Liu Renyu used them as his own soldiers.

Liu Renyu reorganized the army and fought in this way, and on the other hand, he appointed Chen Danqing and Liu Renjie to send fine works to Shanxi to investigate the situation of the thieves in Shanxi, draw maps, and buy Neiying.

When Liu Renjie and Chen Danqing received the order, they immediately sent their subordinates to Shanxi to send back a steady stream of Liu Renyu's needed love for Liu Renyu and other generals' reference.
