Duan Er was discussing the battle with Fang Han about Tu Shan at this time, and the loss of Tu Shan made them all nervous, and when they were discussing who to send to defend against a possible attack in the direction of Tu Shan, a noise came.

"What's wrong?" Fang Han shouted to the outside world.

"Oh no! Oh no! Dashuai, Du Po rebelled, and the officers and soldiers were killed! A guard ran in in a panic and said.

"What?" Duan Er was so frightened that he collapsed in his chair, Du Yan's betrayal made his confidence disappear at once, as if he had seen the scene of his family being escorted to Bianjing to be beheaded.

Fang Han's eyes rolled a few times, and then said, "Great Marshal, the Song army must be coming from the West Gate this time, our army can withdraw from the South Gate and go to Moye Mountain, there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses of Li Yi in Moye Mountain, and then order Zhongli to move south, when you can gather 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, there is still the strength of a battle!" ”

Duan Er said a little unwillingly, "Can you beat the Song army out?" ”

Fang Han shook his head and said, "Most of our army are new soldiers, once the city is broken, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos, and trying to rely on them to defeat the soldiers and horses of Liangshan is like a dream." Commander, give the order quickly. ”

Duan Er covered his face and cried, "The king sent me to guard Haozhou, I didn't even hold out for a month, what face do I have to see the king." ”

In this way, fleeing is fleeing, Duan Er is well aware of the truth that there is destiny, and the Liangshan army has not yet reached the center of the city, he has already left Haozhou City from the south gate with the guards.

When Jiang De entered Haozhou, Gongsun Sheng came with the news that the defenders of Zhongli City had fled without a fight, and Gongsun Sheng had already taken Zhongli City at this time.

- Mount Moyer

Li Yi looked at Duan Er and Fang Han speechlessly, Liu Min stomped his feet, turned in a circle and asked, "How can this be?" Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Haozhou and Zhongli, how are we going to explain to the king! ”

Duan Er screamed, everyone looked at him in horror, he got up and said, "The defeat of this battle is to blame for the rebellious Du Bao, I didn't expect this guy to be loyal on weekdays, but he is a human-faced beast, he lowered the Song army, and sought my city. ”

Li Mao sighed, "Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how many are there now?" ”

Liu Min looked at Duan Er and said, "Although our army withdrew from the city, although it was panicked, it was also slowly retreating, and there were still more than 13,000 people. ”

Duan Er's face darkened and said, "Haozhou City is broken, and there is a panic, there are less than eight thousand. ”

Li Yi said, "Plus my 10,000 here, that is, 30,000 soldiers and horses, it is okay, it is still possible to fight, but who is the commander in this battle?" Saying that, Li Yi said to several of his generals, "You have to find someone who can win the battle to command the army, after all, the brothers are also raised by their fathers and mothers." ”

Li Kai is Li Zhu's nephew, and Li Zhu is a military advisor who supports Wang Qing single-handedly, so Li Kai has always looked down on Duan Er and others who rely on nepotism.

Li Mao also has fierce generals under him, Yuan Lang, Teng Huan, Ma Xian, and Ma Jin all have their own means, especially Li Zhu because he was worried about the safety of his nephew, and arranged two thousand ironclad troops under his account, these three thousand ironclad troops are all elite wearing Song army infantry armor, and the sergeants are all wearing deep helmets, wearing iron armor, only showing a pair of eyes, holding spears and big knives, the most powerful, such sergeants, even if Wang Qing himself is around, there are only three or four thousand people.

"What? General Li wants to be a marshal? Fang Han snorted, "Duan Dashuai is the marshal of Haozhou who is personally appointed by the king, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Aren't we rebelling now?" Li Kai rolled his eyes and said, "I just don't want my brother to die in vain, not to mention that this is not Haozhou, it's Moxie Mountain, and the commander of Moxie Mountain is me Li Kai, which is also hand-picked by the king, what is your objection?" ”

Fang Hanqi's beard was cocked, and Duan Er waved his hand and said, "Okay!" ”

Duan Er lost Haozhou, he was already ashamed, and he didn't have the face to compete with Li Yi for the position of the commander, so he said, "This battle is dominated by General Li, and I also want to see how much skill General Li has with Mr. Jin Jian." ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "Then please rest assured General Duan, now that Haozhou is occupied by the Song army, they will definitely repair in Haozhou for two days, and our army will take advantage of this time to repair more camps and prepare to hold on."

Master Fang, please make a hard trip, go to Luzhou to inform the king of the battle situation here, and send others, I don't feel at ease. ”

"You!" Fang Han was so angry that he almost drew his sword against him, wasn't this obviously squeezing him out.

Duan Er stopped him and said, "At this time, it is a plan to use people, such a thing, it is enough to send a pawn, why send a military division." ”

Li Yi just wanted to disgust Duan Er, and said with a smile, "That's it, don't dare to forget it, I'm tired today, please go back to your headquarters, repair your morale, and then join me to meet the Song army." ”

- Haozhou

Jiang De sat on the top seat, two civil officials dressed in vermilion official mansions sat below, and one of them held tea and said, "Like I said, please transfer the general of Pingyin Marquis out of Haozhou City within two hours, and there will be other sergeants here to take over." ”

"Master Li, two hours? My sergeant has been working hard for days, and you can't even drink saliva, so you're going to drive us away? Is it a bit excessive? Jiang De smiled faintly.

"Excessive? No, we did this for the sake of Pingyin Marquis, as the saying goes, bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, Haozhou is a big city, and there are many treasures in the city, if you let the sergeants stay in the city, I'm afraid there will be something unbearable.

At that time, there will be few officials to listen to it, and at that time, Hou Ye is afraid that he will not be able to get out of it. The civil official known as Master Li said with a smile, his eyes full of banter.

"What? Lord Li saw that some of my sergeants plundered finances and robbed people's daughters? Jiang De continued to laugh and said, "Lord Li is full of wealth, I'm afraid you should still know a sentence, it's called official shave, how did the tens of thousands of thieves in Haozhou City come from?" Master Li has been a parent official, so he should know best. ”

"Bold!" The other stood up and said angrily, "You are just a martial artist, how dare you do this? ”

"Jiang Xinzhi, don't think that we don't know that you surrendered the rebels without authorization, wait for me to listen to the book and see how you deal with yourself!"

Jiang De slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'll go back to Liangshan..."

The expressions of the two civil officials were stunned.

"Give you face, you really think of yourself as a character, come on!"

Jiang De is really angry, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many such officials in front of him, where would the status of the later generals be low to that point, and the Han Dynasty would sink several times in later generations, and these rotten Confucians would not be able to get rid of the pot.

"Send these two fanatics back to Yangzhou for me, I don't want Haozhou, but I don't allow such people to receive them!"

"Yes!"

"Pingyin Hou, you are bold! You are bold!! ”

With the howl of being dragged out, Jiang De snorted disdainfully, and Gongsun Sheng stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, there is a soldier and horse in the direction of Suzhou, it should be ready to receive Haozhou." ”

Jiang Dedao: "Send Du Biao to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to stop them, isn't Du Biao unwilling to face the old man, so let him go to the north."

Haozhou City can't give them now, we want to plant seeds here, and this place will be important to us in the future. ”

Gongsun Sheng asked, "What if the official army attacks?" ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "No, think about it, Tong Guan and the others are fighting the idea of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, before we destroy Wang Qing, the official army will not move us, if the Suzhou army dares to attack, give me a hard fight back, tell Du Yan, if he loses, the lives of the 20,000 or 30,000 people who surrendered will not be saved." ”

After speaking, Jiang De looked at the map on the table and said, "Has the task force arrived?" ”

Gongsun Sheng pointed to the map and said, "There are two hours left at most." ”

"After the team arrived, they immediately dispersed it below, each team sent a hundred soldiers to protect, Wang Qing basically killed the squires here, now this is a white land, we must preempt the imperial court, establish our rural cooperative, we have 30,000 troops, we must make full use of the local advantages of these people."

Gongsun Sheng bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Poor Dao understands the importance of the matter." ”

Jiang De is not ready to fight a few battles and end it, in line with the idea of maximizing interests, Jiang De wants to establish his own grassroots power here.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, the countryside is absolutely most of the time in a power vacuum, the royal power does not go to the countryside is not just talking, Zhu Yuanzhang was so miserable by the later literati, in addition to killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is also a reason that Zhu Yuanzhang is the first emperor to make up a fish scale book in the country, the fish scale book is to arrange the fields and ponds in turn, and the hills and sections are drawn together, because it resembles fish scales and is called the "fish scale atlas", this is the first time that the royal power goes to the countryside, and the land in various places is completely controlled by the central government. After this, further royal power went to the countryside, and it was necessary to wait for the red regime.

What Jiang De's working group had to do at this time was, on the one hand, to take advantage of the time of the power vacuum in the countryside of Haozhou to establish rural cooperatives with those who were unwilling to join the army as the backbone, and on the other hand, to register and fabricate a fish scale book.

Many people can't understand why the fish scale book is so important, so to speak, the performance of the regime in the local area is mainly in three aspects, one is the personnel right, one is the financial power, the other is the armed right, the personnel right needless to say, the financial power is to collect the tax, and it can be transported away, and how to collect taxes, in ancient times, there were no invoices or declaration software for later generations, they all relied on the tax collectors to collect one household at a time, how much these people should pay, is based on the fish scale book, if a regime does not have such a fish scale book, he will not be able to collect a penny in the local area, This is also why when the Qin and Han dynasties alternated, the first thing Xiao He did when he entered Xianyang was to find the laws and books hidden by Prime Minister Qin and the Imperial History Mansion.

On the same day, thousands of teams with experience in grassroots cooperatives arrived from Liangshan, and Jiang De dispatched them to various parts of Haozhou as soon as possible.

About eight or nine days later, first the news from the north came, after being wounded by Du Bao with a spear and five people, Suzhou's Xiang army recognized the reality of what kind of combat power they were, and returned to Suzhou at three times the speed.

Then came the news from Bianjing, Zhao Ji generously praised Jiang De... Jiang Xin paused, and rewarded a lot of gold and silver. On paper, then Zhao Ji asked Jiang De to quickly send troops to pacify Wang Qing, as for the two people who were driven out by Jiang De, they didn't even mention it.

In fact, Jiang De was very skeptical about whether this was Zhao Ji's meaning, according to his understanding of the bastards in Bianjing, this ninety percent was the result of several traitorous ministers discussing each other, and Zhao Ji may not even know where Wang Qing was until now.

The work of the task force was also extremely smooth, with the blessing of knives and guns, all the people in the countryside of Haozhou greeted the task force with a smile, and more than 10,000 local soldiers were reorganized into cooperatives in various places.

- Moye Mountain

At the foot of Moye Mountain, the two armies faced each other, Zhu Wu nodded to Jiang De, and Jiang De said to the left and right, "Who is going to call the battle?" ”

One person came out and said, "The last general is willing to go!" After that, he urged the horse forward and shouted loudly, "Traitor and traitor, I am Liangshan Han Bolong, who dares to fight with me?" ”

Wang Qing rushed out of the army and replied loudly, "The tiger Teng Ji is here, take his life!" ”

Han Bolong cheered up, holding the blade and stabbing it, Teng Jian used a tiger's eye bamboo steel whip, extremely powerful, a lighting, Han Bolong actually felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, he knew that it was not good, but he could only desperately hold on, and after seven or eight moves, he had slowly fallen behind.

Wu Song saw it behind him and said to Jiang De, "Master Hou, Bolong is not an opponent, I'm afraid it will take General Luan to win." ”

Luan Tingyu urged him to step forward, stabbed with his gun, and shouted in his mouth, "Bolong don't rest, wait for me to fight." ”

Another general in Wang Qing's army rushed out, born with a red face and yellow beard, a familiar copper helmet on his head, wearing a tuanhua embroidered robe, black oil inlaid armor, riding a curly-haired black horse, with a red face and yellow beard, a nine-foot long and short figure, and two water-milled steel smelters in his hands, blocking Luan Tingyu and said, "The thief will stop the wheel war, come on, come on, fight with me!" ”

The two fought against each other, but after three or four rounds, Wang Qingjun rushed out of the two of them and shouted in unison, "Ma Jin, Ma Wei is here, who dares to fight?" ”

Mu Hong and Mu Chun glanced at each other, and made their debut together, "Mu Hong and Mu Chun are here, and the thieves will run away!" The four of them slashed at each other, Mu Hong faced Ma Jin, and Ma Wei killed Mu Chun.

This time eight people are fighting, killing you come and go, everyone watching is frightened, first Mu Chun was slashed by Ma Xian, if it weren't for the solid armor, he would have to die on the spot, Ma Xian still wanted to chase, was shot back by Pang Wanchun with an arrow, Ma Xian laughed and said, "Liangshan thieves will only hurt people with secret arrows, brothers, withdraw!" After speaking, he took the four of them back to the camp together.

Jiang De and the other four retreated, first let Mu Chun go down to bandage and rest, and then said angrily, "I didn't expect Haozhou to be taken, but it hurt the spirit of our army here." ”

Zhu Wudao said: "Our army wins when the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and when the fighting soldiers win." ”

Jiang De nodded yes, and Zhu Wu began to wave the order flag, and each general returned to his own formation, preparing to win with a military formation.

Li Kai on the opposite side saw it and said with a smile, "The thief army also wants to fight with me, so give orders to all armies and listen to my orders!" ”

To the left of Li Kai was Duan Er, Fang Han looked at the military order from Li Kai and scolded, "This kid really thinks of himself as a big handsome." Duan Er squinted his eyes and said, "Let's see if he can win first, if he is also defeated, he will look good!" ”

The two armies are slowly moving, and a big war is about to break out.
