However, the situation of the officers and soldiers fell into the eyes of the scouts of the Xingtian Army, and several of the Xingtian Army were far away from the sight of the night, so they used the monoculars in their hands to see the situation of the officers and soldiers clearly, and the literate scouts immediately used a small book to record the situation they detected, and then quickly turned over and galloped back, and continuously sent all kinds of information of the officers and soldiers to the camp of the Xingtian Army.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian had already led the troops into the territory of Yanggu County, and opened a huge warning curtain in the area of Yanggu County, scattering almost all the scouts at hand, only waiting for Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui to collide.

Although they set off late, relying on the iron legs trained by the generals of the Xingtian army, they drove more than 100 miles from Nanle County in one day and night, arrived in Yanggu County one day earlier than the official army, and set up positions in the area of the Tuxiao River and the Jindi River in Yanggu County, and at the same time used the Jindi in Yanggu County as a hidden place to hide the men and horses in the south of the Jindi as much as possible.

(The golden embankment is an important barrier in Yanggu County to prevent the flooding of the Yellow River in the North China Plain since ancient times, and it is also the dividing line between Henan and Shandong in later generations, a few feet above the ground, but it can play a good role in preventing the Yellow River from flooding, the flood floods to the north, according to legend, it is the embankment of the ancient Yellow River, which is also the only place that Xiao Tianjian can find in Yanggu County!) ）

When they learned that the official army was still far away in Shen County after they arrived, Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter what, they finally stopped Sun Chuanting's army here, and finally did not have to worry about this big fish slipping away from them.

So Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered to rest on the spot, but ordered not to bury the pot to make rice, in case a large amount of cooking smoke rose and was discovered by the officials and soldiers at night, so the whole army ate some fried rice and fried noodles brought with them, drank some clean cold water, and chewed a few pickles casually to fill their stomachs.

After a day's rest, the generals of all units had recovered their strength, and began to use the Jindi as a line of defense, taking turns to build various fortifications on the spot, and preparing to meet the officers and troops head-on, and the Jindi would become their front to block the officers and troops.

But then the news sent back by the scouts under Shi Ran and Lin Luo made Xiao Tianjian feel a little crying and laughing, when the other party had not yet discovered the existence of their main force, Sun Chuanting just stopped continuing to advance by not receiving the news that the scouts of the Xingtian Army had increased at night, making their original plan to block them from crashing headlong at Jindi again.

“***！ How can this Sun Chuanting's boldness be worse than a mouse! With this guts, the imperial court also entrusted him with a heavy task and asked him to supervise the army? Luo Li had been waiting impatiently, and as soon as he heard that the official army had stopped in the north of Yanggu County, and began to camp on the spot, making a posture of being like a big enemy and going to hold a group to defend it, he immediately scolded angrily.

Liu Yaoben, Li Dingguo and other junior generals also laughed, but the big guys were also helpless, because Luo Li was right, Sun Chuanting was indeed a little too careful, but this kind of carefulness made the fortifications that their gang worked hard to build suddenly lose their effect, and once again made them almost flash their waists, thinking about it, everyone thinks that Sun Chuanting's guy is a bit unworthy of his name, and this courage is indeed a little too small.

"Alas! Isn't this all for our Heavenly Army! After Sun Chuanting took office last year, he led the army to fight Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, first let Liu Dutong block and repair it, and then Diao Deputy Dutong came over to replace Liu Dutong, and then held down Sun Chuanting and beat him up, so that Sun Chuanting was defeated and fled, and even Zhangde Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion were lost to Diao Deputy Dutong, this year, Sun Chuanting was repaired by our people! Now that he has become a frightened bird, can he still be bold? At this time, a young battalion general under Liu Bao's command said with a look of contempt in the back.

After hearing this, the generals in the big tent immediately burst out laughing again, and all of them showed disdain on their faces.

Xiao Tianjian himself was also very annoyed, he set up an ambush twice, wanting to give Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui a sudden blow, but this Sun Chuanting was not fooled, and he was a little too careful, which made him not think about it in advance, and as a result, he flashed his waist twice, and it felt like he threw a punch with all his strength, but it didn't hit anyone, it only hit a ball of air, which made people very uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Tianjian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't underestimate this Sun Chuanting too much, this person is cunning and cunning, not so easy to deal with!" His caution was beyond our expectations, so it means that this person is not easy to deal with!

At the moment, he must have discovered that the situation is wrong, and then he will definitely send troops to explore the way, so that we can no longer hide! In that case, let's stop hiding!

If he doesn't come, then let's go over, anyway, we will fight him in a dignified manner, and we are not afraid of him! That's it! Get ready! Since this battle is going to be fought like this, there is no way to do it! ……”

Just when Xiao Tianjian ordered to raise troops to take the initiative to meet them, Sun Chuanting also had a new move, Sun Chuanting in the north of Yanggu County after gathering an army that stretched for more than 20 miles, on the spot in the north of Yanggu County set up a continuous camp, first stabilized the position, and then sent more than 3,000 horsemen, ordered his general Ma Dazhi to lead, as a vanguard, towards the Jindi River, first for his army to explore the way.

For Sun Chuanting's carefulness, the generals under his command are also a little incomprehensible, although they brought back the news that there were more thieves and sentry horses nearby, but they never found a large number of thieves' soldiers and horses, not to mention that Yanggu County is not far from Jining Prefecture, and the thief army is besieging Jining Prefecture, and it is not a strange thing that the thief army's sentry cavalry appears here, not to mention that this place has bordered the control area of the Xingtian Army, and the Xingtian Army will not be unable to guard against the official army's reinforcement. It is normal to send a sentry to Yanggu County to investigate, and it is a bit too much to feel that Sun Chuanting is so cautious, and some people are even secretly mocking Sun Chuanting below that he has been frightened by the Xingtian Army, and the whole thing is now loud and quiet, and he doesn't dare to hear a little movement.

Originally, in their opinion, after they had the help of the border army from the north, the strength reached tens of thousands of people, and the border army was very strong, and it was not as weak as last year, and it was always repaired enough by the Xingtian Army, and now it was time to raise its eyebrows, this time to go to Jining Prefecture, they should first return the Daimyo Mansion and Zhangde Mansion by the way, so it is also a great achievement, and the worst can also go to the Daimyo Mansion area, first take two or three county seats, and be strong and prestigious, But he didn't think that Sun Chuanting had to make a detour to Yanggu County, avoid the territory controlled by the Xingtian Army, and march into Jining, which was simply to increase the prestige of others and destroy his own spirit!

and Liu Zeqing from Jining, who can be said to have sent people every day to urge Sun Chuanting to hurry over, saying that a large number of thieves have appeared around Jining, and Jining City will be surrounded, and Jining will be in danger of being unsafe.

But Sun Chuanting was immediately frightened into Yanggu just because of such a trivial matter, and he didn't dare to speed up and rush to Jining, which made his soldiers and generals look down on him a little, thinking that this Sun Chuanting was just a vain name, why did the imperial court use such a governor?

But Sun Chuanting didn't care what his generals thought, but still asked that the armies should not move without permission when the enemy situation in front of him was unknown, he would rather go slower than be ambushed by the thief army, for which Sun Chuanting also personally recruited Wu Sangui, explaining his thoughts, Wu Sangui couldn't wait to go slower, it was best not to go to Jining to fight with the thieves to pull down, so he immediately said that he was willing to obey Sun Chuanting's orders, it was better to be safe, so Sun Chuanting felt that Wu Sangui, the chief military officer, although young, But he is still quite calm, and he has established some good feelings for Wu Sangui for this.

At noon on the second day of the first month of March, Ma Dazhi, a general of the official army, finally led his troops to the Jindi River, and suddenly bumped into a group of more than 1,000 Xingtian soldiers near Jindi, and this encounter seemed very sudden, the men and horses of the Xingtian Army did not seem to have discovered Ma Dazhi in advance, and the battle was very hasty, it can almost be said that as soon as the two armies fought, the Xingtian Army immediately messed up, and after putting two rows of firearms, although more than a dozen officers and soldiers were killed, Ma Dazhi was shocked into a cold sweat, But then the men and horses of the Xingtian Army were in chaos, scrambling to follow the Jindi River towards the direction of Nanle County and rout, the performance was very poor, Ma Dazhi chased and killed for a while, killed more than 20 thieves, and then proudly collected the soldiers and horses, watching this group of Xingtian thieves flee to the other side of the Jindi River.

The triumphant Ma Dazhi immediately sent someone to report to Sun Chuanting, saying that he led his troops to encounter thousands of torture thieves in the Jindi River, defeated them in a battle, and beheaded more than 100 (most of them were the number of people who killed good and risked merit in a nearby village when they were chasing and killing the Xingtian army), and won a great victory, and the thief army had fled to the south bank of the Jindi River.

And he pretended to be smart, and analyzed a little modestly that this thief army was not the main force of the Xingtian thieves, but more like the auxiliary soldiers of the Xingtian thieves, and the combat effectiveness was not strong, so Sun Chuanting didn't have to worry.

After Sun Chuanting got the news in the evening, he was a little relieved, and decided to continue to set up camp early the next morning, and hurried in the direction of Jining, although he didn't believe Ma Dazhi's words, this gang of thieves probably would never have thousands of people, otherwise, with Ma Dazhi's ability, he would have turned around and fled back directly, and he would never dare to fight with the thief army.

If Ma Dazhi is really a great victory, thousands of thieves will be defeated, and he will not kill more than 100 thieves, under the cover of 3,000 cavalry, the thief army may not die seven or eight hundred people in the end, Ma Dazhi's words must be watery.

But in this way, it can be regarded as explaining why the number of sentry horses of the Xingtian thieves is found in this area, it seems that the Xingtian thieves have indeed paid attention to Yanggu County, which also dispelled a lot of Sun Chuanting's concerns.

But what Sun Chuanting didn't know was that at this time, there were more than 20,000 elite men and horses of the Xingtian Army, who were hiding in the area of the Tuxiao River west of Yanggu County, and when Ma Dazhi led his troops to the Jindi River, the Xingtian Army evacuated the Jindi area only about an hour in advance, and filled and camouflaged the fortifications they had dug up, although it was done very hastily and crudely, if you pay a little attention, you should find that there was a large army stationed in this area, However, the general Ma Dazhi only cared about leading his troops to chase the "rout" of the Xingtian Army, and he didn't pay attention to the traces of the surrounding Jindi line, so such a situation was actually fooled by the Xingtian Army.

Luo Li was lying on the embankment of the Tuxiao River, the war horse was beside him, bowing his head and eating the tender green grass that had just grown on the embankment, snorting from time to time, and Xu Yixian, who used to be Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor, was also dressed in light armor, changing the Confucian dress of the past, sitting beside him, wiping the waist knife he carried with him.

"I said Senator Xu! Tell me which play Dashuai is singing this time! Okay, since the dog official surnamed Sun is not fooled, let's just call it? With our more than 20,000 people and horses, I don't believe that we can't do the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers brought by the dog officer! Why bother to let so many of our brothers run like grandsons these days, and they haven't fought a single battle, but they are so tired that they are about to fart! You told me about it! Why is that? Luo Li asked Xu Yixian while lying down.

Since Xu Yixian switched to the Xingtianjun, he was arranged under Luo Li's command as Luo Li's staff officer, and he stayed by Luo Li's side during this time, and gradually adapted to the style of the Xingtianjun, changed his dress, and began to look like a soldier, but this did not affect his brain, after listening to Luo Li's question, Xu Yixian put away the shiny waist knife that had been wiped by him, and hung it back on his waist after being in the sheath, and then smiled and replied: "Luo Dutong is not in a hurry!" Don't you see that the handsome is not an ordinary character? The marshal seems to be eyeing Sun Chuanting, the dog official, and Wu Sangui, who came down from the north, and the marshal seems to be very concerned!

During this period of time, the marshal first tried his best to plan and transfer so many elites, concealed the truth and falsehood, and made such a big move in Jining Prefecture, did he just want to defeat Sun Chuanting and these border troops? Xu thought that it might not be that simple, if we wanted to defeat these northern border troops with our current strength, it would not be difficult!

Dashuai is going to fight a war of annihilation, if Xu's expectation is good, does Dashuai want Sun Chuanting or this Wu Sangui's life!

This time the ambush in Jindi failed, the marshal was actually very annoyed, I don't know if the general saw it, he first said that he would not succeed and go up to fight with him head-on, but at night he changed his mind again, or wanted to surprise the army to win, in short, he still wanted to fight this battle and destroy this official army! It was just before dawn that he pulled out the camp and told us to retreat to this side and hide!

If you think about it carefully, you can understand what the marshal thinks, this Yanggu County is a horse and Pingchuan, if our troops face the enemy head-on, we may be able to defeat Sun Chuanting's official army, but if we want to annihilate them, I am afraid it will be very difficult, if there is no surprise army, this possibility is almost none! This is also the reason why the marshal has to take so many elite people and act so carefully! ”

Luo Li sat up suddenly, glanced at Xu Yixian, grinned, and nodded again and again: "Mr. Xu is really powerful, in the end he is better than us old careless eyes!" It seems that Dashuai is really thinking this time! What an appetite! That's nearly 40,000 troops! Da Shuai actually wants to eat it in one bite, hehe! Looks like it's going to be good again this time! But hiding in Tibet like this is not a solution, when is it a head! It's still a good fight! Otherwise, before the war starts, our generals will run away! ”

Xu Yixian looked at the clear water of the Tuxiao River, beckoned his subordinates to come over, unfolded a map, looked down at it, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it won't take a day, and this battle should be fought!" As long as there is a force of people blocked here, then it is probably not impossible to completely destroy Sun Chuanting and this Wu Sangui! ”

When Luo Li heard this, he immediately stretched out his head and looked towards the map......

(I'm glad to present a big chapter today!) Hehe! ）
