"How did Pingyang County recover?" Liu Chang asked this question for the first time.

But Ye Niangzi shook her jade head lightly: "I don't know, I only know that Pingyang Kefu, Qu Zhenhai temporarily borrowed two ships from the fifth master to transport four hundred elite soldiers, and it is said that a support army was also sent by land." ”

How was Binh Duong taken by the Red Turban Army? Liu Chang couldn't understand this fact. Even if the Red Turban Army took the city of Wenzhou, Liu Chang would not be more surprised than this.

Yueqing is almost the northernmost county in the whole of Wenzhou, while Pingyang County is the opposite, in the southernmost part of Zhejiang, next to Fujian. Pingyang County in this time and space is equivalent to Pingyang County and Cangnan County in another time and space, and it is a super county with a population of five or six hundred thousand.

Since the Red Turban Army crossed to the south, it basically operated in the Jiangnan part of Yongjia County, and because of the new establishment of Ni Tingmo's Yongjia County in Jiangbei, the Red Turban Army renamed the Jiangnan part as Wenzhou County, and its jurisdiction was almost the entire Wenzhou urban area in another time and space.

After crossing the river, the Red Turban Army suffered a few small setbacks, and also had a few big victories against Xiangyong, and the overall situation was not bad, but there was still a whole Ruian County between them and Pingyang County.

The Red Turban Army grew wings and flew to Pingyang County: "Yunzong, help me get the map!"

Even without a map, Liu Chang also saw the full-temperature situation in Pingyang County, which now started from Yueqing County, extended to the newly established Wenzhou County in the south of the Yangtze River, and went all the way to Pingyang County in the southernmost area, and the entire coastal area was almost under the control of the Red Turban Army, and the most conspicuous gap was missing.

Ryan County! That's right, it's Ruian County!

Ye Niangzi said categorically beside her: "Presumably, the inspection point can also see that now the overall situation is related to Jian Ruian, Ryan Ruoke, and the overall situation is alive. ”

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Red Turban Army will inevitably try to take Ruian, as long as Ruian is taken, several coastal counties can be united, and the Red Turban Army can have an additional piece of territory with a population of 1 million or hundreds of thousands, and from Yueqing Bay to Pingyang, it is indeed the richest piece of land in the entire Wenzhou, even if it can't take the Wenzhou capital, it is enough to control the whole province.

If the Red Turban Army can leap into the sky after taking Ruian City, but if Ruian is still in the hands of the Qing army, then the Red Turban Army will be divided into three parts: Pingyang County, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei, and Pingyang County, which is newly restored, is in a passive situation of suppressing the two provincial capitals, and will fall into the Qing army at any time.

"Yes! Qu Shuai will take Ryan!"

In the current situation, anyone will choose to continue to attack Ruian County in the south, as long as Ruian is taken, then the whole situation is alive, and the Qing army is left in addition to Fucheng, which is the most remote and most oil-free mountainous county in the whole temperature.

But can the Qing army allow Qu Zhenhan to easily take Ruian County? Both sides will bet all their capital in this battle for Ruian, and transfer all the elite soldiers and strong generals, if the Red Turban Army wins, of course, they can take the rich land along the coast and firmly grasp the Wenzhou Mansion, a large mansion of more than two million.

But if the Red Turban Army loses, I am afraid it will also be a situation where the building will collapse.

He is ready to break up with the Red Turban Army, but in a short period of time, he still wants to rely on the big tree of the Red Turban Army to temporarily shelter from the wind and rain, at least when he leads his troops north into Taizhou, the Red Turban Army can contain the main force of the Zhejiang, Fujian and Qing Army for himself, so that he can take the opportunity to attack the entire Ningshaotai.

He didn't have the confidence to break through the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the Zhejiang-Fujian theater with a few hundred rifles alone, you must know that his capital was too small to withstand any slightly bigger defeat, and the Red Turban Army could not fall for the time being.

"There is such a big event, it seems that the matter of going north will be slowed down a little!" Liu Chang first made it clear to Zhou Xiuying: "But Ye Niangzi, there is no hurry to send troops, at least let me figure out the details of this matter!"

"If the inspection point goes hand in hand with me and the fifth master." Zhou Xiuying offered a very high price: "The fifth master and I are willing to offer a reward of five thousand taels!" You and I will divide half of the gold and silver obtained from opening the walled city. ”

Ge Mengjin and Ye Niangzi had previously proposed to borrow Ruian's land, but even they didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, so they wanted to join forces with Liu Chang to seize the territory along the coast of Ruian.

However, Liu Chang calmed down: "Ye Niangzi, please go back first, five thousand taels, this is just the price of a shot to Fucheng!"

He was not satisfied with the price, his words were not speculative, and Ye Niangzi was also like an arrow: "The transaction is not benevolent, when you are willing to cooperate with the fifth master, you will be notified!"

She was in a hurry to go back to grab the land, and Liu Chang immediately said to Yun Tianzong: "Give Ye Niangzi five more barrels of gunpowder, and don't charge money, even if you thank Ye Niangzi for the news!"

In this time when transportation is inconvenient, the convenience of information can be said to be the most precious: "There is such a big event, I'm afraid you have to work hard, today I practiced overnight, and I will use the newly purchased foreign guns to get ready!"

The Red Turban Army and the Qing Army will inevitably fight a decisive battle in Rui'an, in order to prevent a sudden avalanche of the Red Turban Army, leaving the situation of Panshizhai alone, Liu Chang had to cancel the original plan to go north, and prepare to go south, but even if he wants to go south, he has to use the newly purchased foreign guns.

But no one knows what happened in Pingyang County, only that Pingyang County has been recovered by the Red Turban Army!

The sentry posts fired live ammunition overnight, and the gunshots rang out for most of the night, and they sent people across the river to contact Shi Yunqing's forward team to inquire about the news about Pingyang County, but to no avail.

waited until the first watch, Liu Chang was ready to sleep first, and finally had the definite news: "Xu Fengfei General Xu is here!"

Xu Fengfei and Liu Chang have always had a good relationship, so Qu Zhenhan specially sent him over to contact Liu Chang, and Liu Chang immediately greeted him with a few sentinels.

Xu Fengfei crossed the river overnight, his face was full of joy, and when he saw Liu Chang, he shouted: "Check, brother, I left more than a thousand brothers to cross the river, but I want to invite you to join the grand event." ”

Liu Chang asked bluntly: "I heard that Pingyang County has been taken by the Red Turban Army?" ”

Xu Fengfei was sweating all over his body, but he didn't have time to wipe it: "Yes!" God-given opportunity, really a God-given opportunity, as long as we take Ruian City, we can join forces with the red-money volunteers in Pingyang, and when the time comes, the territory will be divided, and a copy of the inspection is indispensable. ”

"Red Money Volunteers?" Liu Chang was taken aback: "It's not our Red Turban Army, what's going on?" Our Red Turban Army is still one hundred and eighty miles away from Pingyang County, how can we take Pingyang City? ”

"It's not Pingyang City taken by our Red Turban Army, it's the county town taken by the local Red Money Volunteers in Pingyang!" Xu Fengfei told Liu Chang the cause and effect of this incident: "Their capital is too small, and they urgently invited us to go over to meet the commander, and now Qu Shuai has sent both land and water reinforcements to Pingyang, but the strength is still too thin." ”

Xu Fengfei continued: "As long as we take Ruian City, we can officially join forces with the Red Money Volunteers, and they have already agreed to change the banner of our Red Turban Army!" Brother, I crossed the river overnight, but I was instructed by Qu Shuai to ask the inspection point to cross the river overnight to participate in the grand event!"

Liu Chang barely figured out the cause and effect of this incident, but he was still a little hesitant: "Brother Xu, Qu Shuai has an order, I must lead the team across the river, but I just got a new batch of foreign guns today, and the team has not practiced this foreign gun yet, can you delay it for a day or two." ”

"That's not going to work!" Xu Fengfei was anxious all of a sudden: "Our Red Turban Army may be able to lack the Liu checkpoint in peacetime, but at this critical moment of the decisive victory, it is inseparable from the checkpoint and the dragon spear whistle, the battle of Ruian is related to the life and death of my Red Turban Army, and you must cross the river to check it." ”

"Besides, if the Red Turban Army loses this battle, Panshizhai will not be able to support it independently, so it is reasonable to understand that the inspection points should cross the river overnight!"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, and finally promised: "That's good, I'll take the dragon lance to cross the river tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Fengfei saw that Liu Chang was only willing to cross the river with a dragon spear sentinel, and immediately put Qu Zhenhan's killer weapon: "Qu Shuai and Mr. Jin both said that as long as the inspector is willing to cross the river with the dragon gun and Nanxi two sentinels overnight, he is willing to thank him for a reward of ten thousand gold." ”
