was reminded by Lu Shi, thinking of Cao Meng, who had a thin army, Guo Tianxing patted his head and said regretfully: "It's not that King Chuang reminded me that it was almost a big deal, okay, I will immediately reorganize the team and rush to Ganquan to rescue the fierce son, and here King Chuang will preside over the plan." Yan suddenly heaved and said: "This battle is also a nest, I hurried to the Wu Tao brothers, they have won a big victory, I didn't even catch the hair, I can't drink a mouthful of water and rush to you, I hope to kill a good time, but the result is still not fished, hurry up and hurry, to you, or be a spectator, it's really boring, I hope I don't have too much life, rush to the fierce son to do a game." Alas-------- this life. While complaining but not slacking off, he flew on his horse and ran to his cavalry team and shouted: "Brothers, is it hard work? ”

"It's not hard." Hundreds of people answered together.

"Can you still fight for another hundred miles?"

"Can fight, can fight." The brothers responded with their sabers held aloft.

"We couldn't catch the battle in a hurry, how can we meet the cottage fathers? Are you willing? ”

"Unwilling, unwilling." All the cavalry were indignant. It's just that these people are holding back their strength and running around, but they don't have a fight, how can they not be angry.

"Okay, Mr. Cao is in charge of the emergency, now set off with me to rescue, the water is drunk on the horse, the food is eaten on the horse, even if the horse runs to death, we as infantry must rush to grab this battle in front of these infantrymen, okay?"

"Kill, kill, kill."

"Let's go." Guo Tianxing was about to lead the team to set off with a wave of his hand, and a herald whispered: "Grand Commander, what about the deputy captain of Dalang yet?" Isn't it waiting for him? ”

The stars glanced at him. "Wait, wait, wait? Let him go like a butterfly, by the way, put his horse on the horse, and we'll go. With that, he led the cavalry and galloped away like a raging sea of fire.

Da Lang was happily robbing people with Guo Tianxing, and suddenly heard the shouts of the troops from his team, and his heart was not good, so he hurriedly ran back, but it was too late, and he could only watch the team of people and horses go away, and when he looked around, even his war horse was abducted by the Black Tiger Star, and he was in a hurry. Lu Shi smiled: "Da Lang, you can only follow the infantry for the time being, hahahaha, you want to be disappointed when you are proud, hahaha." Lu Shi couldn't help laughing and teasing.

Da Lang said hatefully: "No, even if I run, I will definitely catch up with them and fight with them." Suddenly, he rolled his eyes, suddenly pulled his uncle's war horse and flew on the horse, and ran away without saying a word. Lu Shi was stunned, and the big man had already run away without a trace.

Lu Shi stomped his feet and scolded: "Da Lang, you are a thing, you dare to rob my horse, see how I will rectify you when you come back, my horse." ”

All the former officers and soldiers looked at this scene dumbfounded, and secretly said in their hearts; "The officers and soldiers are all shirking in every way, even if they are helpless to fight, they have talked about countless conditions, and there are still teams in the world who are so eager to fight? What am I about to join a team that is eager to fight and where battle is the ultimate glory? ”

"I'm glad to be such a bloody and sincere team." That's what everybody thinks.

Looking at the passing stars and Da Lang who were gone, Lu Shi was slightly relieved about Cao Meng's direction, with these more than 800 cavalry, plus Cao Meng's spearmen, there should be no big problem in blocking Zhang Yuan, who only has 3,000 village warriors, but he still has to hurry up, not only to block Zhang Yuan, but also to annihilate them as much as possible, so as to give a blow and a shock to some heroes who are ready to move for whatever purpose.

The rest is the war in the east, the enemy in the east is not strong, and the counties along the way have become honest this time because they have learned their own troops, and they have not followed Yang He's orders to participate in the encirclement and suppression of themselves at all, even if they get the order, they are also pushed by Yang Fengyin and pushed the past, who is willing to do that thankless thing for others?

However, according to Zhao Xing's sergeant report, among those counties, there was a Suide county that made Zhou Ji an outlier, not only reorganized the thousands of households that were disabled by himself last time, but also signed again, collected grain and grass, reported to Yang He, and asked to participate in the encirclement and suppression of himself. The first one to face is his absolute fierce general - Chen Jiabao of Guangwu.

As the original and easternmost barrier of the base area, not only stationed these 500 soldiers, but also during this period, the original Chenjiabao has been continuously reinforced, adding sufficient defensive equipment, the original Chen family grain storage did not make a big move, all stayed in the local area, therefore, Chenjiabao can be described as a soldier with enough food, solid as gold, due to the confiscation of the Chen family's land, but also the implementation of the land division policy, more popular with the people, so as long as Guangwu does not take the initiative to fight, then there is no danger on this side.

Since Zhang Yuan and Li Yuanhao were the main force in encircling and suppressing the base area, the army also focused on this side, going all out to deal with them, and at the same time in case of unscrupulous landlords, Geng Kui, the commander of the infantry army, could only take three teams of elite troops to be stationed in the old camp of Huluyu, ready to deal with possible riots in the base area at any time, and there was no way, so Cao Meng led the troops to clean up all parts of Luochuan and reserve the battlefield.

After getting the accurate news of Zhou Ji's troops, Lu Shi sent a herald to inform Guangwu in Chenjiabao that he was absolutely not allowed to send troops to take the initiative to fight, as long as Zhou Ji was blocked, this was Guangwu's great achievement, and everything had to wait for the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression.

Now Lu Shi, I hope that Zhouji County Zun can wait until that time. However, can Zhou Ji, who is dedicated to serving the country, really come according to Lu Shi's wishes?

It was already the second day of the first month of March, which should have been the time when spring was warm and the people were busy preparing for spring ploughing, but the whole of northern China was still raging by the climate of the Xiaoice period, and the continuous cold wind, with dry soil without the slightest moisture, roared across the entire northern Shaanxi land, rolled over Yansui, rolled through the valleys, swept through the reckless forests north of Chenjiabao, and swept through the ravines, a group of shivering officers and soldiers.

Yes, it's the official army, a thousand officers and soldiers rolling up their flags, shrinking their necks, holding knives and guns, constantly stomping their feet, cursing in a low voice, cursing this ghost weather, cursing this fatal task, and cursing their parents, Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji was also cursing, cursing the ghost weather, cursing his boss, the damn deputy chief soldier, and cursing Zhang Yuan, the initiator of this dispatch.

This military operation initiated by Zhang Yuan to encircle and suppress the thieves was no longer among the thieves this week, because the governor Yang He also knew that in the last battle of Yanchuan, Suide, who was responsible for blocking the thieves, suffered heavy losses, especially in the signing of the Ding military households, and was coerced and killed by nearly 5,000 people, and it was difficult to regroup.

Also, Suide faces the so-called base of the thieves, there are three counties in between, and there are heavy mountain dangers in between, not more, as long as there are a hundred thieves and prepare sufficient food and equipment, the tired army of Suide marching thousands of miles will definitely be difficult to cross the half of the thunder pool, that is to say, it is in vain to go, it is better not to go.

However, it was unexpected, other military households and places all tried to shirk and excuse themselves, that is, they refused to send troops, and even Yichuan, who was supposed to send troops to help suppress, reported various reasons, and refused to send troops in every possible way.

At that time, looking at Zhou Ji's impassioned official document in his hand, Yang He couldn't help but sigh at the sky, if there were more good officials like Daming who were brave enough to do things, why would they be so corrupt to such an extent?

In the handbook, Zhou Ji reported in detail what the thieves had done in Fuxian, and worriedly deduced the unbearable consequences of the thieves after they became bigger.

This decision, of course, there are literati and doctors in their bones, and the fearless idea of sharing worries for the monarch is there, but Zhou Ji County Zun also has selfish intentions.

In the last war, Zhou Ji got the master's pick, and the right to change began to sell some vacant petty officials in the county, raise money and food for the thieves, let go of the mouth, and eat the marrow to know the taste, this time, out of control, those who bought the official body, immediately took out the money and food up and down, and also took out the rules that the Taizu officials are not allowed to be local officials, and one by one they left the place where rabbits don't, and went to the rich and peaceful places to take office, and the gentry who didn't get the opportunity continued to visit the county to see if there was a chance. Among them, there is a wealthy one, so he simply put down the deposit first, and then began to walk around the field, waiting for Master Zhou Ji to open again.

As a result, this week, Ji was surprised to find that he was finally equipped with the leadership team at all levels in the county according to the sales of the body, but, within half a year, his own novices, have been raised and promoted, and his dignified county is still a county and master, with two or three kittens under his hands, so, when collecting taxes in the autumn harvest, Zhou Ji has a large number of official vacancies to sell, so, the two old brothers discussed, instead of knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow of the local people to pay money and grain taxes, it is better to take out the official body to recommend a batch of raising, So, Zhou Ji simply gave up the people and directly sold his official body, Shangfeng is worried about the incomplete system of Suide officials, and he can't send a person to perform his duties, it is the best of both worlds, the officials and the new officials are transferred, which makes Shangfeng even more happy, and a foreign transfer is a lot of filial piety, why not? In the event of last week, the recommendation was of course correct, and the two and three parties were happy.

So, in northern Shaanxi, there is not only the Han theory of Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide, but also the official body of Suide.

Second, the thieves in Fuxian and other places to implement the division of land, rent and interest reduction measures, seriously affected the local population of Suide, those who were originally coerced by the thieves to go south of the Suide men, all took the time to secretly go home, pulled their wives and children's parents, and ran to the thieves' so-called base overnight, to later, to see that Suide was no longer able to stop, but also called friends, dragged the family with the whole village and the whole village to flee, even Zhou Ji's few servants, there were a few disappeared the next day, This made Suide's already small population drop sharply, which made Zhou Ji and the master part-time county helpless.

That's it, at this rate, a dignified county will become a bare-bones county commander in a few days, and he can only manage a few servants under him (there are no officials), what kind of scene will it be? For this reason, it is necessary to eradicate the thief's henchmanship.
