Just when the news of Huainan's new Shouzhou reached Yidu, Hu Yanzhuo also sent a letter to Cangzhou. But Hu Yanqing's house was no longer on the other side, and he was ordered to reinforce Hejian Mansion to exterminate the rebellious Zhang Dao'er.

"Zhang Dao'er?" Lu Qian felt that this name was quite familiar.

Xu Guanzhong's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was opening a search engine in his brain, "Back to the king, this person is a soldier in Baoding, who is good at playing with knives, so he is called Zhang Dao'er." A month ago, because of the angry killing of the Baoding Army in Zhangjiakou, 100 people were gathered to raise troops. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qianfang was impressed. After this knife rebelled, he defeated an official army sent by the Baoding army on the spot, and the army expanded to more than 1,000 people, and soon moved south into the river. "So I see that it has become bigger. But beckoning Yanqing that the water will go, I don't know what this Huyanqing will do? ”

Whether it was the news found or the news that Hu Yanzhuo confessed, Lu Qian was full of interest in Hu Yanqing. This kind of well-informed person is exactly what he desperately needs. But Hu Yanqing didn't really have the combat exploits he could handle, and the previous delivery of money and food could only show that his organizational skills were outstanding.

Although this is already rare, but at the moment, this game is really straightforward if it is an assessment of Hu Yanqing.

Lu Qian summoned Zhu Gui, "Every move in this battle is clear to me." ”

The dry land suddenly hugged his hand: "The king can rest assured." "Recently, the spy department has been spreading the news that it is likely to be split in two. Zhu Gui knew more details, but he also asked him to show more credit in front of Lu Qian.

……

The words are divided into two ends, and look at Hejian Mansion.

In the afternoon, Hu Yanqing had just received a military order from the government on the way. At the same time, it was also reported by the meteor scout, and a large group of chaotic militia horses were divided into two groups in the northwest and rushed to Shucheng. The latter is northeast of Hajian Fortress and directly west of Cheongju Castle.

Zhang Dao'er's two teams of people, one on the North Road, are only one or twenty miles away from Huyanqing at the moment. Soldiers and horses are ominous. He thought to himself, the main force under his command is either sailors, or newly recruited soldiers, fighting head-on, I am afraid that it is not as good as Zhang Dao'er, who has seen blood.

And his own family knows his own business. The morale of Huyanqing's army was very weak, and they fled from Cangzhou to Qingzhou, and as soon as they took a few breaths, they were sent to Hejian Province again. Morale is low, morale is low, if you come to the front of the rebel army, you are afraid that if you have no foothold, you will eat the rebel people and trample on it. Immediately, a team of fine soldiers was sent to the village on the pile of straw and the pile of dry grass, just set fire to many places, and alerted the city of Shucheng. But he led his soldiers and horses and retreated to the south of the road.

When he had walked about five or six miles, there was a grove of trees, and he made the whole army of one or two thousand men lie in ambush, so that the dust and smoke would not be raised and the thieves would see it. As soon as the men and horses entered the woods, they heard a loud noise in the northwest corner, mixed with countless footsteps hitting the ground, and the noise was like a rainstorm falling to the ground, like an autumn wind sweeping the trees.

Zhang Dao'er's troops and horses marched very ostentatiously, there were no guards on the left and right, and there were no scouts for the forwards, so the whole team was a long line.

He hid in the woods and watched, and the whole procession was like a cloud of dust and smoke rolling up on the ground, from north to south, and it was not lively. It's not the first time I've seen such a momentum in Yanqing, and it's not that Fujian has no civil unrest, and he's seen it. Such a team had nothing to fear, and when they reached the bottom of the city, the gates would have been closed, and the drawbridge had been raised, and the rabble could not fly into the city, but they would surely make a mess outside the city.

Hu Yanqing reined in the horses, stood on the mouth of the forest, and guarded the soldiers from acting rashly.

By the time the thieves had passed, the noise had faded and it was getting dark. Then he fed the soldiers with dry rations. In the haze of the night, he walked slowly behind the thieves. But in the woods, there were also a number of soldiers, who were taught to their subordinates, and they were still ambushed on the side of the road outside the forest, acting according to the plan.

He rode a horse and carried a sword, led more than a thousand infantry, and led the team forward. Every three or two miles, a group of soldiers and horses was divided.

About the second watch, the waning moon is like a bow, the sky is full of stars, the night is dark, and the sky is low in the wilderness. More than 1,000 people walked quietly, only the sound of footsteps touched the ground. Hu Yanqing was on the horse, the night breeze was blowing, but there was no coldness, looking south, the firelight in the northern suburbs of Shucheng was flickering, looking at each other, thinking that it was set on fire by the thieves and soldiers.

In the distance, the city is borrowing this red light, and a faint shadow of the city wall can be seen, but there is no movement on the city. The noise of people and horses in the southwest direction is endless, about a few miles away, dozens of lights, flickering, scattered on the outskirts of the city, it must be this wave of thieves who have not succeeded in attacking Shucheng, so they are stationed in the people's houses outside the city.

Hu Yanqing secretly liked it in his heart, and moved forward more and more calmly, and happened to meet some people who fled overnight on the way, and the soldiers stopped a few and led them to the horse to reply. Hu Yanqing explained his identity and calmly asked about the situation in the city. The people reported: "Since the city gate was closed, the merchants and people outside the city were a little panicked, but they did not want the thieves to arrive later, and when they saw them, they burned and looted. The people who could not go were killed by the thieves. The villain couldn't escape, but he hid in the ditch and escaped with his life. When the thieves came out of the city, they saw that the gates were closed, and they only shouted and cursed the city for a while, but did not attack the city. It seems that there is a large army behind, and they wait for reinforcements to arrive before attacking the city. The villain waited for the rebels to live in the house before escaping. ”

Hu Yanqing rewarded the people with some money, so he passed down the order in the dark, and sent two commanders to lead one to ambush in the low-lying place on the side of the road, and brought four or five hundred people with him, and advanced to the bright place of the fire. and sent a number of soldiers to collect the things that caused the fire. Near the third watch, a large number of dry firewood and grass regiments have been found, and the soldiers of Huyanqing each took a bundle of firewood and grass, and then slowly advanced towards the place where the thieves were.

There are only a few lights in front of me, hidden among the scattered houses, and the people and horses are already silent. But the thieves weren't completely negligent. It's just that the direction of their guard is to bundle the city, not behind their own back.

Hu Yanqing asked people to quietly come forward, stepped into the alley in shares, lit a straw bale in the upper wind, and lit the grass hut or firewood stack first. In an instant, there were two dozen fires. Just as another strong wind was blowing, the fire immediately grew bigger. The soldiers who set the fire, seeing that the fire was lit, did not return to their original places, but shouted noisily, and Hu Yanqing lined up the remaining soldiers in formation. Stand at the head of the horse and wait for the opportunity. When he saw dozens of fire heads swept into the sky by the wind, he knew that he had succeeded, and immediately the golden drums sounded in unison and shouted loudly.

Zhang Dao'er woke up in his sleep, and he didn't know how many Song soldiers there were, and he didn't know where Song soldiers were challenged. The fire in the street was pressing, and the smoke and flames were blind, and everyone fled in a hurry.

When Ding Zhuang's soldiers at the head of the city saw it, they also lit their torches and shouted loudly. The thieves didn't know what to do, and many people thought they were killed by soldiers and horses in the city.

The soldiers led by Hu Yanqing picked the place where the thieves were scattered, shouted to kill, and cut it off.

He himself took the lead, danced with his sword, and cut down more than a dozen people one after another. The thieves were terrified, and they didn't want to resist in their minds, but just ran forward. The sound of wooden bangs sounded, and the infantry who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road shouted and shouted, and all took their swords and killed them, and their morale was like a rainbow. The thieves, in particular, suffered another period of loss. was chased and killed by Hu Yanqing, a nest of thieves ran wildly for several miles, looking at the fire behind them, and the voices of people getting quieter, thinking that the chasing soldiers were not coming, so they breathed a sigh of relief. But he heard the shouting and killing in front of him, and after several robberies, the thief thought that the Song army was setting up ambushes everywhere, and he didn't dare to fight, so he collapsed and went back.

After dawn, the soldiers and brave people of Shucheng found the corpse of the wearer Wen Shanjia in the outskirts of the burned ruins, which was identified by the captive as Zhang Dao'er's righteous brother and the corpse of Sha Wu, the head of this thief army. Hu Yanqing was overjoyed, united with the soldiers of Shucheng, pursued to the rout and escape in the north, and within two days, the last group of remnants was completely leveled. Then he gathered the soldiers and horses of Hejian Mansion and cut off Zhang Dao'er's head in a battle.

Facts have proved that Hu Yanqing, a person from the navy, is still quite talented in land warfare. Although the course of this battle is full of loopholes in Lu Qian's eyes, but the same battle is put in front of the Sanruan brothers, can they play such a trick?

These three brothers are more likely to give a blow to the thieves who have rolled over like a dragon, and they will win a big victory, and they will never give the thieves a heavy blow.

And Hu Yanzhuo, who was far away in Cangzhou, was even more satisfied after receiving the report. He naturally knew the biggest shortcoming of his nephew, and he was really dozing off at the moment.

However, it is said that this Hu Yanqing returned to Qingzhou from Hejian Province and was still stationed on the west bank of the Yellow River North Road. The northern route of the Yellow River flowed northward through the Jinghai River in later generations, and joined the Juma River in the later Tianjin area. The latter is the boundary river of the Liao and Song dynasties.

On this day and night, Hu Yanqing was looking at the current defense map and wondering, he had no courage in his hands, and no powerful warship, this Liangshan thief called, how could he be a barrier for Qingzhou? Thinking of the unstoppable momentum of the Liangshan army when it broke Cangzhou, he was restless, walked out of the Chinese military tent, stood up and watched the moonlight full of sky, frost all over the ground, and sighed.

It's only July, and there is already frost in the north. This land of Hebei is really different from Fujian.

In the night sky, a delicate crescent moon hangs on the tip, and the dense moonlight shines through the leaves and sprinkles on every piece of land. Countless sparkling stars are unwilling to be lonely, showing their charm. A transparent gray cloud gently obscured the moonlight.

The surging Yellow River glowed silver in the moonlight, and the bright moonlight fell on the water, reflecting Hu Yanqing's face full of sadness. He stood by the river, his whole body like a rock, and his young face did not feel that there were already a few ravines.

Colonel Fulu came to report: "There is a bearded general, a horse with a single whip, and he wants to see the commander." "That person is very powerful, although he doesn't wear armor, the little colonel can also see his identity at a glance.

Hu Yanqing's eyes flashed with confusion, and he said, "Don't you ask who he is?" ”

The colonel retracted: "The person who came had no armor and weapons, and he refused to say his name, but he only said that he had an old relationship with the system, and he wanted to see the system." ”

"As so, call with me." Then he returned to the tent. After a while, the little colonel led a man to the tent to meet him.

Hu Yanqing saw it, and he was a little familiar under the light, but he really didn't recognize it, so he asked who it was. The man said, "Beggar to retreat." ”

Hu Yanqing said: "Okay." But the tent was full of his henchmen.

The man said: "The old man is the one who is burning." ”

Hu Yanqing was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed: "It turned out that my uncle was on top." Are you ...... to escape from the tiger's den? ”

"The virtuous nephew is not joking. How strict are the restrictions on the Qilu territory, the imperial court has fought with it several times, and many generals have been captured, so it can be seen that there is one who escaped? The old man was ordered by the king of Qi to come to persuade you to surrender. ”

"I came to Cangzhou half a month early, but unfortunately I was driving you to Hejian to level the thieves. If so, it has been delayed to this day. ”

Hu Yanzhuo's words made Hu Yanqing's face change greatly. "Uncle actually voted for the Liangshan thief?" Hu Yanzhuo nodded, and the atmosphere in the big tent immediately froze.
