took Ye County, promoted Cai Zhong to be the acting county magistrate, and then left Cao Jun Wenwu acting county lieutenant and county Cheng, and the local Shihao Qiang was the main book, Gong Cao, officials, and 1,000 defenders.

The 5,000 rebel Han people were all incorporated into the garrison, Shanyue was incorporated into the Eight Banners, all the young and strong were with the army, and the old and weak "women" and children were left behind.

Removing 1,000 people left behind, Cao Zhen's 90,000-strong army did not decrease but increased.

Further south is Ruoxian, this city is also 5,000 rebels, the news of the 200,000 Cao army going south, Qiao makeup cheetah members spread around the city, the whole county is excited.

When the army arrived, the city gate army, which had been rebelled by the Cheetah members, defected and led Cao's army into the city.

Cai He became the acting county magistrate of Ruo County.

Cao Zhen and Huang Gai worked steadily and began to clean up the east of the Han River city by city.

Because the waterways and land routes were cut off, the counties that were difficult to communicate with Zhao Ci in Jiangling were besieged by the rebels' captured and reorganized troops as the main force, and they were persuaded to surrender and besiege the city with dozens of times the number of troops.

To the east of Hanshui, the rebel counties that saw no hope were taken one by one.

The news quickly reached Zhao Ci's ears.

"Whoa~"

In the mansion of Jiangling City, there was a sound of smashing things, taking off Shanyue's "hair" skin, putting on the precious Shu brocade Zhao Ci, who was wielding a long sword, angrily smashing and slashing, and scolded: "Damn Cao's 'sex', fight against me everywhere!" The damn Dahongshan Sect Marshal was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't dare to respond! You two deserve to die! ”

The rich woman who became a maid was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

After smashing everything that could be smashed in the hall, Zhao Ci lay down on the Hu bed tiredly, and shouted outside: "Someone! Where are they all dead! ”

Zhao Ci's personal guard will push the door in:

"The subordinates are here!"

"Where is Cao's 'sex' army?" Zhao Ci, who was tired and panting, asked, and then looked at the maid: "Look at what you are doing, come and help me 'rub' 'rub'!" ”

The maid hurriedly stepped forward, "rubbing" the shoulder, "rubbing" the shoulder, beating the leg, the rich woman at the beginning, at this time doing the work of the maid, she looked very familiar, they were all "forced" out, unskilled, waiting for a huge punishment, and those who could not be taught for a long time would be thrown directly into the military camp by Zhao Ci and become the plaything of the soldiers.

The general of the personal guard said cautiously: "The two Cao troops have turned around to the east of Hanshui, and they have continued to go north, and they have surrounded Nanyang Zhangling and Caiyang two counties!" ”

"What! What about Chen Ying and Guo Shi? Where are they! Zhao Ci roared, which frightened the maid's heart.

"After Xiangyang and Fancheng were broken, the two of them withdrew to Zhonglu, and they are strengthening the city wall, building fortifications, gathering the troops of the surrounding counties, reaching 50,000, preparing to hold Zhonglu and block Cao's army in Zhonglu!"

"Defend! Defend to know defense, 100,000 troops who attacked Nanyang, just because of defense, and became Cao's "sex" troops, they can't take the initiative to attack, when Cao's army goes south on both roads, Xiangyang is empty, why not sneak attack, take Xiangyang, and tie up Cao's "sex"! ”

Zhao Ci was angry, like an elderly widow who stayed alone in an empty house all the year round, and her mouth was full of complaints:

"Give me an order to Chen Ying and Guo Shi, and I will give him another 50,000 troops, if you don't take Xiangyang, come and see him!"

"No!" The guards will flee and take the order.

Looking at his most trusted personal guard general, "revealed" a frightened figure, Zhao Ci suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

What's going on? Why is Ah Ju afraid of me? What's wrong with me?

He turned his head to look at the maid next to him, and stared at her like this, so frightened that she retreated again and again, and knelt on the ground: "Master spare your life!" The master spares his life! ”

This manifestation is like drinking on the head, others are

was knocked unconscious by a stick, but Zhao Ci was woken up, remembering all kinds of arrogance and swelling since he occupied Jiangling, and shook his head at the maid.

This scared the maid into crying, but Zhao Ci said unprecedentedly: "Get up, it's okay, the technique is good, continue!" ”

The master shook his head at himself, not to throw himself into the military camp, but to praise himself, the maid broke her tears and laughed, hurriedly stepped forward, and continued to pinch her shoulders.

The 50,000 rebels, most of whom were old and weak, were women, and children, and when they arrived in Zhonglu under the drive of the Shanyue rebels, Chen Guo and the others, who came to greet them, could not see joy on their faces when they looked at such an army and the 50,000 equal troops already in Zhonglu.

Zhao Ci's personal guard general, full of helplessness, came to the two of them with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Guo, the general transferred an army of 50,000, and ordered the two of them, together with the original army of Zhonglu, a total of 100,000, to take Xiangyang City and capture Cao 'sex'!" And ......"

Speaking of this, the general of the personal guard department paused, and seeing that Chen Guo was not angry, he whispered: "If the two gentlemen don't take Xiangyang, go back to see the general!" ”

Chen Ying was angry, his fists were clenched together, and next to him were his cronies, and Chen Cai, the general of Shanyue, also gritted his teeth, and bluntly said that Zhao Ci was confused.

"General Chen Cai said cautiously, Ah Ying, don't be angry, what the general said is just a momentary anger, as long as we take Xiangyang, there will be nothing!"

Guo Shi, who was calmer, hurriedly persuaded, and Ah Ju, the general of the personal security department, also nodded.

"Alas~"

Chen Ying let out a long sigh, shook his head lowly, and said: "Chen Cai, inform me to go back to the barracks and tell the soldiers outside not to run around, and prepare to attack Xiangyang!" ”

"No!"

Zhonglu is a small and medium-sized county town, and it is extremely crowded with 100,000 troops, but fortunately, the entire county has been looted, and all the houses, whether they are thatched houses for the poor or the houses of the rich, have become military camps for the rebels.

The original 20,000 parts and 30,000 cannon fodder of Chen Guo and the two of them, a defeat in Fancheng, shrank tenfold, but the 5,000 people left behind were also the most elite and loyal.

Now that there are more than 100,000 soldiers under their command, Chen Guo and the others seized the opportunity to wipe their cronies in Zhong'an, wantonly wooed lower-level generals, and restored their direct line to 20,000.

In advance, 50,000 rebels were assembled and stationed in Zhonglu, and as a rebel army that was not engaged in production, there was no heavy supply, and a county town in Zhonglu could not supply 50,000 troops with food and drink without control.

Therefore, there are many rebel tribes, and they have to go out of the city to plunder the villages, or hunt, fish, and dig wild vegetables.

Commander Chen Ying issued an order to assemble the whole army, and for a while in Zhonglu County, a team of heralds was dispatched one after another to find the plundering teams scattered out of the city.

The large-scale personnel transfer is in the eyes of the various families and heroes in Liwubao in Zhonglu Township.

The news of Cao's "sex" battle began to spread, and the people in the dock fort, as if it was the New Year again, every household put up lanterns and ran to celebrate each other.

Some of the powerful even took the initiative to ambush the small rebel ranks.

The sky was already dark, and the rest of the troops had returned, Chen Ying waited left and right at the head of the city, and did not wait for the last few teams to return from plundering, but waited for some rout soldiers who had fled back.

Chen Ying gathered all the troops and was furious in public.
