As soon as Liu Yaoben saw these galloping horsemen, he immediately asked a few of them, "Where did you come back from the general?" How's the battle going over there? ”

A scout's chief saluted Liu Yaoben and said: "When we came back, the general had already led his troops to meet with Zu Kuan's department, and we don't know how the battle is going now!" But with our general's ability, there should be no problem! ”

Liu Yaoben glared and asked, "Since you haven't fought yet, what are you doing when you come back?" Could it be that they came to our training camp to help? ”

The scout glanced at the battlefield and shook his head, "No! The general sent us back to inform Battalion Commander Liu that you should immediately transfer the refugees outside the city to the city as soon as possible, and Wang Shaoyu, the general soldier of Luoyang, is along the south bank of the Luohe River, leading his troops towards Yongning County! I want to take advantage of Zu Kuan's department to drag our main force and sneak attack Yongning County! Please Battalion Commander Liu be prepared, you must not lose here!

Who did you just do here? Look at the posture and a lot of people have died! Congratulations to Battalion Commander Liu, this time you have made another meritorious service! ”

Liu Yaoben was slightly shocked in his heart after hearing this, turned his head and glanced at the battlefield lightly, and said to this scout: "Okay! I know! You go back and tell the general that as long as there is one person left in our training battalion, this Yongning county will never let the officers and soldiers take it back! As for the battle just now, there's really nothing to brag about! Yidougu was unwilling to suffer, and today he actually led the remnants to attack the city, but we broke it up! Dealing with them is simply a victory, what is there to congratulate! ”

The scout looked at the situation around and said with a smile: "General Liu is polite!" Don't delay General Liu, you have arranged, we must immediately go down the Luo River to investigate the movements of Wang Shaoyu's department, and once we find the official army, we will immediately come back and report to Battalion Commander Liu! ”

Liu Yaoben was stunned for a moment and asked, "Won't you go?" ”

The chief of this scout replied with a smile: "The general has an order, let us temporarily obey the dispatch of Battalion Commander Liu after we come back, patrol along the Luo River, and monitor the movements of Wang Shaoyu's department!" I won't go back! Without further ado, Battalion Commander Liu should arrange it quickly! Let's go and patrol along the river! ”

Liu Yaoben nodded and said, "Go ahead!" I'll start arranging! Looking at the backs of these scouts galloping to the Nanluo River in the county, Liu Yaoben sighed slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's really not stopping!" It seems that staying to defend the city this time is not a bad thing! Hmph, this time the battle is fought! ”

With the end of the battle with Yidougu, the chaotic scene outside the city gradually settled down, under the appeasement of the Xingtian Army, those frightened refugees learned the news of the victory of the Xingtian Army, one by one they breathed a long sigh of relief, and some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky again and again, chanting: "God opens his eyes!" Finally, the heroes of the Xingtian Army won this battle, otherwise, we, the common people, don't know how much disaster we will suffer! ……”

With Liu Yaoben's order passed down, the gates of Yongning County were opened again, and a team of Xingtian Army troops drove out of the city gates, and began to transfer these displaced people gathered outside the city to the city for temporary resettlement, although there is a certain danger in doing so, it is likely that the officials and soldiers will be accidentally mixed into the city, but considering that this is Xiao Tianjian's order, Liu Yaoben can only do it, after all, these refugees will soon become the foundation of the Xingtian Army's foothold here, Liu Yaoben naturally would not throw them to the scourge of the officers and soldiers who were about to pounce.

The refugees didn't know very well what was going on, but it was freezing in the wilderness, and it was not a comfortable thing to stay outside the city, so the Xingtian Army suddenly gave them a favor and let them into the city, and these refugees were naturally grateful, so they thanked the subordinates of the Xingtian Army again and again, and then under their guidance, they began to pour into the city with their families.

Yongning County, which is not too big, suddenly began to become crowded, but fortunately, several large families in the city were confiscated, and there were many vacant places, and refugees could be arranged, so it could still accommodate these refugees to be temporarily resettled in the city.

The team of nearly 10,000 refugees only passed for more than two hours, and they were basically moved into the city, and suddenly the outside of the city was quiet, only a few wild dogs left out of nowhere were left, wandering around in the shacks left by the refugees looking for food, and some wild dogs sniffed the smell of blood in the air, and soon ran to the battlefield in the west of the city, sniffing around there trying to find something to eat.

Under Liu Yaoben's order, the doors began to slowly close, and the clangs once again separated the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.

Wang Shaoyu rode on horseback, shouting loudly in the team all the way, urging his generals to speed up their pace and rush to Yongning County.

The Luohe River is flowing slowly not far from their right hand, and a thick layer of ice has formed on the bank of the river, but because of the flow of the river, the position in the middle of the river has not been completely frozen, and even if it is frozen, the ice surface is relatively thin, so Wang Shaoyu knows that even if he leads his troops to Yongning County, it is impossible to step on the ice.

But he didn't worry too much about anything, this time the Xingtian Army suddenly attacked Yongning County, which shook Henan Mansion, and he was ordered to come to the rescue of Yongning County, but the result was that he didn't wait for him to lead his troops to Yongning County, and he learned that Yongning County was lost, so he led his troops to Yiyang County, and then he was hesitant.

For this reason, Feng Yijun, the prefect of Luoyang, sent people several times to urge him to quickly recapture Yongning County, but Wang Shaoyu delayed it under various excuses.

Wang Shaoyu knows very well that he has been a chief soldier in Luoyang in the past few years, and he has not deducted his salary, and his soldiers have long complained about him.

Therefore, of course, Wang Shaoyu knew that he would definitely not be the opponent of the Xingtian Army, and he did not dare to lead his troops to face the Xingtian Army occupying Yongning County.

This time, it was finally delayed until Zu Kuan led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to support him, if he didn't make some achievements, then once Feng Yijun presented a bullet to Beijing, then he would be considered the end of the general army.

Therefore, Zu Kuanyi proposed that his subordinates should be the main force and design a plan to ambush the Xingtian Army in Liuquan Town, Wang Shaoyu immediately followed the good flow, and even did not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket, took out some silver and gave it to his subordinates, and then drove them to act as bait, out of Yiyang County, and before going to Liuquan Town.

After Zu Kuan led his troops to leave, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses, and also left Yiyang County, crossed the Luo River overnight, and rushed from the south bank of the Luo River towards Yongning County.

The reason why he is so active this time is mainly because of the official hat on his head, Yongning County fell, as the chief soldier of Luoyang, he has the responsibility to recover the lost territory and exterminate the bandits, but he did not dare to go to war for a long time, this kind of thing will sooner or later be grabbed by the tail and thrown him to death, so this time Zu Kuan led his troops to rush over, and took the initiative to take on the task of fighting with the main force of the thief army, if he didn't take the opportunity to make some achievements, then he would not be a person who had been in the officialdom for so long.

Although he is only a military general, he also knows that officialdom has its own rules of officialdom, this battle is difficult for Zu Kuan to gnaw, and the main force of the thief army has been attracted to the east of Yongning, so there are definitely not many thieves left in the county, and it is the best opportunity for him to take the opportunity to recover the county.

Therefore, he hurriedly led his troops from the south bank of the Luo River towards Yongning County, and wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of the Xingtian Army in Yongning County to seize the front of Zu Kuan and recover Yongning County.
