Huainan Road, Shouchun City, Shouzhou Zhisu. A battle that ended in a resounding victory for the officers and troops had just ended; Therefore, the countryside was full of rebels who came to attack, defeated and abandoned corpses.

And in the state city,

"Please also ask Cao Shuai to complete one or two. Lend me five thousand, no, three thousand soldiers and horses; That is, no, it must be able to recapture the homeland of Luzhou, and the split, cut off the thief and the commander echo the north and south. Then wait for the opportunity to connect with the high envoy. ”

Yang Xingshu, who had just made a strong effort in the battle of thieves and Shuzhou's defense envoy, was also covered in blood and armor, and Cao Quanxi, the envoy of the Tianping Army under the temporary residence account, begged for pain again, just to be able to borrow troops to recover his hometown.

"Then so-and-so won't hide it from you, the matter of borrowing troops will never be possible, and so-and-so won't stay here for long. The day before yesterday, I had already received an urge from the Eastern Capital Camp. Let my generation lead the division back to defend Huaishang in case thieves flee Henan. ”

Cao Quanyang, who had a bronze face and gray beard, was unhurried.

"This... Could it be that Cao Shuai is also going to abandon my Huainan military and civilians? ”

Hearing the news, Yang Xingmin shouted sadly.

"After all, the Huainan thief has become a thief, and it will be difficult to extinguish and eradicate it in a short time; Now, although Shouzhou has made quite a lot of gains after the battle, it is only a few thieves. And Huang Rebellion and the thief are still powerful and threatening Xu Si. It can only be blocked in Huainan and Xu Ran's reason. ”

Cao Quanyang sighed at him helplessly.

"Thank you for being clear from me at the festival, but the left and right of Xingmin belong to the local area, and I am really the hope of the township, so I am sorry that I can't follow the festival anymore."

Yang Xingmin couldn't help but feel full of loss and wanted to retreat; However, Cao Quanyang's words when he spoke again made him hope again.

"However, if you have the heart to serve the imperial court, how about the land of Shouzhou after the town is moved and you will temporarily take it; Even those local regiments, township soldiers and townsmen can be attributed to their subordinates, if they can stand on this basis to resist thieves, why bother to stick to a corner of Luzhou. ”

"Thank you for your support and fulfillment, and you should do your best to repay it. Don't worry about it. ”

He immediately shouted with joy and prostration.

You must know that in the areas of Shouzhou, Anzhou, and Shenzhou, which are guarded by the Tianping Army, the land and household registration are still relatively intact; And Shouzhou is the Huaizhong of the five counties under its jurisdiction, compared to the three counties of Luzhou, which is much better.

"I still have a Wu Shatuo soldier who is known for his brutality, but I can leave it with you to help you for a thing or two. I hope it's just for myself. ”

Cao Quanyang described it as more and more cordial.

"Cadres go to the soup for the festival marshal, and they don't spin their heels."

Yang Xingshu felt more and more grateful, and said straight to the ground.

And looking at Yang Xingmin's grateful, Cao Quanyan's description remained unchanged, but he secretly sighed to himself. If it weren't for the current internal and external difficulties in the imperial court and the decline of national affairs, there was really a shortage of major generals for a while, so why should we rely on and rely on such a person.

To say that he was ordered to ask for the qualifications and years of the thief, he was the one who was the longest time in the court to cheer the guards and marshals; He was originally born in the martial arts of the wise general Liuke during the Xiantong period, and served as the governor of Henan.

Then, he met Zhang Pei, who died of illness and death due to the Tianping Army's festival, and the tooth general Cui Junyu made a mess, claiming to stay behind and know about state affairs; Cao Quanyan sent troops from Zizhou to kill him, quelled the rebellion, and was posthumously named the queen of the Tianping army.

From the beginning of Wang Xianzhi in Changheng, he followed Pinglu Jiedu as a deputy to make Song Wei in Pingkou, Henan; After Song Wei falsely reported his military exploits and was defeated, he became Zeng Yuanyu's right-hand man again and continued to conquer Pingkou.

After Wang Xianzhi was ambushed, he was also able to serve as the envoy of the Tianping Army, and he took charge of the remnants of the place after the thieves fled south, and the severe punishment and punishment were carried out at the same time, and the thieves between Yun, Cao, and Pu were finally eradicated;

Then the yellow thief started in Jianghuai again, and then flowed to Lingnan; He was also ordered to lead his troops out of the town and go south to defend himself. First to fight Jiangxi, then to fight Shannan, and then to defend Huaishang, it has been a three-year period so far; In the early years, the glory of the green hair has also become the mottled beard of today. But the thieves in the world are getting heavier and heavier, killing more and more.

However, he also witnessed with his own eyes how the situation of the dynasty gradually collapsed in the ups and downs of the political disputes in the court and the back and forth between the lies and false reports of the parties.

It is also to see with my own eyes how those loyal ministers and good generals in the world who are loyal to the court gradually wither away in this chaotic world like prison; And let those leaders who were born in the grass and green forests rise up one after another and fill the official army.

This time, the imperial court once again sent someone to urge him to move his troops to Huai, another reason, which is ridiculous but helpless. However, in order to deter and monitor those who rebelled and plundered all parts of Shen and Guang in Huaizuo, and threatened Hao in Henan and Liu Hanhong in Song Zhuzhou; The need to force it to return to the imperial court and not dare to move.

Therefore, he can only rush to the doctor's style, and more generals, who have not served for a long time in these places; Even if the other party was once a clay-legged man who participated in the rebellion against the government; But compared to the Huang rebel army that threatened the hinterland of the country, it was nothing.

And after repeatedly thanking and saying goodbye, Yang Xingchou also said to his wife-in-law and Zhu Yanshou

"Third child, how many people do we have under our banner now? And how many of them can be used immediately?"

"When we got out of Luzhou, we only brought out five or six hundred people, plus the ones raised along the way, and the current available ones are less than 1,000 people in the left and right battalions."

Zhu Yanshou immediately replied.

"That's enough, quickly follow me to the rear army to get soldiers for the battle, and hurry up to expand the number of people."

Yang Xingshu said immediately.

"Defense, what's going on. How much money and food do we have to raise soldiers now?"

Zhu Yanshou was even more puzzled.

"Now or not, there will be in the future, maybe in a few days, this Shouzhou will be the foundation for me to start again."

Yang Xingshu became more and more colorful.

"This..."

Zhu Yanshou was startled, as if he had thought of something bad, and his face changed suddenly.

"This is out of the meaning of solicitation, we have to hurry up and prepare to take over those other people."

Yang Xingshu laughed at this time.

At this time, another general, Tian Hao, came over and said:

"Defense, there is new news sent from Yangzhou, saying that the thieves seem to be in trouble, and the Taiping thieves have begun to cross the Jiangnan to return; Another eyeliner came back to report that in the old city of Luzhou today, there is only about 3,000 grass thieves from other departments. ”

"This is really God helping me, it's time for my generation to return to the township."

Zhu Yanshou couldn't help but stomp his fists and said happily; After all, this unique thief army has left many shadows and lingering palpitations for them, and it has not retreated much so far.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's stabilize our situation in Shouzhou first."

Hearing this news, Yang Xingchou cooled down from the ecstasy. Then, he said to Tian Yan again

"Dechen, I still need you to send someone to Yangzhou for a trip."

"But do you want to contact the King of Gao in Yangzhou City to echo it?"

Tian Hao couldn't help but respond.

"No, I need you to find your former relationship. The idea is to send a message to Tianchang County.。。 ”

Yang Xingshu's eyes wandered.

"Why is that... Now that we have the foundation and the credentials, why bother... ”

Tian Hao was surprised.

"The hope of recovering Luzhou will fall on this."

Yang Xingchou is a meaningful way.

Because at this moment, he remembered the story of Liu Hanhong, the Suzhou assassin on the other side of the Huaishui; Since the imperial court can let this impermanent person return to his command several times, then why can't he be a fool of himself.

The only thing to worry about is the peace thief who is not an official soldier but is better than an official army; After all, the sailors of his generation have repeatedly patrolled the river and kept coming and going, if they can't avoid or eliminate this trouble, even if they recover their hometown in Luzhou, they may not be able to live in peace.

。。。。。。

And Zhou Huai'an, who was faintly talked, also suddenly sneezed on the south bank of the Dajiang River, which had re-landed; But he looked at the faintly disappearing flag on the other side and sighed. Finally, I didn't make up the worst possible outcome I expected.

After all, the General's Mansion headed by Huang Chao, which is used to attract the hatred and firepower of the imperial camp, once he can't think of really accepting the canonization of the imperial court, and thus falls into civil war and turmoil; That was really a big trouble for Zhou Huai'an and the corresponding Taiping forces.

However, the current situation can only be said to be not so bad, and after this incident, the divisions and gaps on the surface are still unbridgeable. This also made Zhou Huai'an secretly use and use the momentum of the righteous army to develop and bury himself in farming, and his plan to bury himself in farming came to naught.

Could this be the troubles and troubles brought about by too much intervention and changing the trajectory of history? He couldn't help but secretly wake up and introspect in his heart. on the other hand, it was an urgent report from outside the Lingnan, which dispelled the last bit of luck and expectation for Zhou Huai'an to continue to stay in Huainan;

Just seven or eight days ago, more than a dozen former leaders of the rebel army who were resettled in Guangfu colluded with some of the people in the Guangzhou left and right patrol teams, and launched a rebellion against the residence of the left-behind division and Wang Pan.

Then, after burning a few houses and demolishing half of the wall, it was suppressed by the paramilitary forces in Guangzhou and the third-line patrol team on the periphery. However, this also sounded the alarm for Zhou Huai'an again.

Since this kind of thing will happen because of its long-term absence, as the most stable basic and core hinterland, what about those Lingxi, Hunan, and Jingnan regions that have been occupied for a shorter period of time and have a more complicated governance situation.

It's time to get back to the plot on your own turf, and at the same time there will be some interspersed with the evolution of other forces
