Liu Ruming rubbed his hands, the look on his face was uncertain, no one knew what he was thinking when he lowered his head, and more than a dozen thousand generals also looked at Liu Ruming nervously, waiting for him to come and get an idea, what to do.

"My lord! Whether to fight or go to Ruyang, you should hurry up and get an idea! The thief army has now reached the south of the city, and there are only less than twenty miles left from here, and if you wait any longer, it will be too late! A Qian general manager looked impatient, and said to Liu Ruming with a fist.

Liu Ruming raised his head sharply and said, "What's the hurry?" Let's not go anywhere, just stay here in Yichuan! ”

Another Qian general manager immediately said: "But didn't the prefect ask me to rescue Ruyang quickly?" If we stay here, will we be reprimanded by those above as seeing death and not being saved? ”

Liu Ruming is the deputy general of the Guide Mansion, and this time he was ordered by Wang Jiazhen to lead his troops to Luoyang to deal with the Xingtian Army, but Liu Ruming led his troops to Yichuan County, and he no longer advanced towards Yongning, and he did not even go to Yiyang.

Originally, Liu Ruming thought that he would be in Yichuan County for a while to see the limelight, but he didn't think that he didn't want to fight, but the Xing Tianjun took the initiative to come to the door.

When he heard the news that one thief army turned from Song County to Yichuan, and the other thief army crossed the river to the south and approached Ruyang County, Liu Ruming's head suddenly became as big as a fight, and all his wishful thinking was empty again.

This time he was ordered to come to Luoyang to suppress the bandits, in order to ensure that there would not be a situation where the Xingtian Army would be beaten by a drum, Liu Ruming thought for a lot of time, and sent a fine work to Yongning and the Lu area in advance to inquire about the news, he came to the conclusion that if the Xingtian Army moves again after the year, it is also likely that the army will send Yiyang to threaten Luoyang City, and then he will have the opportunity, taking advantage of the weak strength of the thief army in Yongning County, leading the troops to rush into Yongning, taking advantage of the situation to recover Yongning or Lu's, In this way, great achievements can be obtained.

This is also the reason why he stayed in Yichuan and refused to move again, so that he would not run to fight with Wang Shaoyu's troops in Yiyang to resist the attack of the Heavenly Army!

He knows very well what the level of the 5,000 officers and troops he brought, if he defends the city, he estimates that it can still be used, but let these people fight in the wild, but he doesn't even have to think about it, the Guanning Iron Cavalry under Zu Kuan is powerful enough! But when he encountered the Xingtian Army, he still returned with heavy losses, and now he had to obediently pack up the remnants and run back to Lushan to stay, so he didn't think that with his subordinates, he could beat the Xingtian Army to pieces.

But he didn't want to make trouble but had something, he didn't provoke Xingtianjun, but Xingtianjun himself came to the door, which made Liu Ruming really unexpected, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Now the soldiers and generals under his command are waiting for him to come up with an idea, and after looking ahead and backward for a while, Liu Ruming made up his mind.

"This is a plan of the thief army, they want to enter Ruyang with troops, induce us to send troops, and then flank us back and forth to eat us! Will be outside Jun's life, he Feng Yijun touched his mouth on Luoyang City, and asked us to go to Ruyang to die, you must know that we have thousands of lives, how can I, Liu Ruming, act carelessly? Don't say more, strictly guard the camp, and no one is allowed to ask for battle without authorization! It's a great achievement to hold back this gang of thieves here, and once we leave, won't Yichuan also fall into the hands of thieves? Liu Ruming waved his hand and asked the generals not to say anything more, and immediately ordered the door to be closed and not to fight.

After Luo Li and Liu Bao led their troops to Yichuan County, they immediately set up camp five miles away from the official army camp, and while arranging sentry spies to monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers, they quickly set up camp on the spot to prepare for the counterattack of the officers and troops.

But after the Xingtian Army set up the camp, they didn't see a single soldier in the official army camp, so they watched them set up the camp and stop it, Liu Baodang even pointed to the official army camp and smiled at Luo Li: "Brother Luo, the officers and soldiers on this road also seem to be goods, and they are useless!" Seeing that our troops were not superior, we didn't dare to go out of the camp to fight against the war, nor did we pull out the camp to go south to Ruyang, and estimated that the enemy would make up his mind to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he wouldn't leave here! ”

Luo Li looked back at the camp that had basically taken shape, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu is right, most of these officers and soldiers are like goods that are strong in the outside, and after we overthrew Zu Kuan's department in the first battle of Liuquan Town, we were so scared that we lost our eggs, where did you dare to come out and fight against us!" Hehe! Regardless of whether he is a shrunken turtle or not, this time we come over from the two battalions, we can't let him stay here honestly! If they don't come out tomorrow, let's go and fight and force them to come out! ”

Liu Bao nodded and said: "What Brother Luo said is extremely true, although the marshal ordered us to wait only to contain the officers and soldiers on this road this time, but we can't just go on with them here, he can't shrink his head and come out, let's smash his turtle shell open and force them out!" ”

Early the next morning, Luo Li and Liu Bao led their troops out of the camp, and a group of troops went to the outside of the official army camp to open a formation, but the officers and soldiers still shrank in the camp without any movement, but sent a lot of soldiers to strengthen the garrison in the camp, and they did not plan to come out to fight at all.

Luo Li galloped to the front of the official army camp, and scolded all the time, asking the officers and soldiers to come out to fight, but after scolding for a long time, Luo Li's mouth was dry, and the officers and soldiers were like three kicks and couldn't kick a fart, and they didn't care about it in the camp, and there was no intention of leaving the camp, and the angry Luo Li ran straight to the official army camp, and as a result, the cannons immediately rang out in the official army camp, and they rumbled towards Luo Li, Liu Bao saw that Luo Li was in danger, and immediately ordered Ming Jin, Luo Li heard the sound of Ming Jin, and then retreated to the camp in desperation.

"Brother Luo can't take such risks again, once Brother Luo makes a mistake, I'm afraid it will be a big blow to the morale of our army, and the officers and soldiers will not come out to fight when they see the posture! This shrunken turtle seems to be a matter of decision today! Liu Bao said to Luo Li, who galloped back to his own formation.

Luo Li said nonchalantly: "I'm afraid of them!" Just their rotten cannons, how can they hurt half a hair! Hum! Brother Liu don't worry! Grandma's, it seems that the officers and soldiers on this road are all eunuchs, and they are all eggless guys! I said that I wouldn't come out to fight! Brother Liu said, let's see, what should we do? Otherwise, let's set up a cannon and blast out these turtle grandchildren and pull them down! ”

Liu Bao smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to do this, this group of officers and soldiers is determined to be a turtle, I'm afraid they can't bombard it even if they use artillery, besides, our artillery is not much, and it doesn't necessarily take advantage of them to bombard, not to mention that the ammunition we brought this time is also limited, so it's best not to waste it so much!" ”

Luo Li scratched his head and said helplessly: "That's what I said, so is it possible that we are here to spend time with their turtle grandchildren?" This will cost us dozens of stones of grain in one day! They can afford it, but we can't afford it! ”

Liu Bao touched the beard on his chin, pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed, and said to Luo Li: "What should I do?" According to our handsome words, it is cold salad! Hey! If they don't come out and pull them down, we'll do whatever we want! Yichuan County is so big, there are several big Zhuangzi in the vicinity alone, since they dare not come out, then we will go to Zhuangbao in two ways! Take a look at the two Zhuangzi, first get some grain to eat and drink, and see if these bastards still come out! ”

After Luo Li thought about it, his face slowed down a lot, and he nodded with a smile and said, "What Brother Liu said is very true, they should be turtles with shrunken heads, so we won't spend it here with them!" In this way, I will lead the brothers of the second battalion to stay here and keep an eye on this group of officers and soldiers, and Brother Liu, you will work hard and lead your brothers in the fourth battalion to knock and knock on the big families here in Yichuan! Let them force this group of officers and soldiers to come out and fight us! ”

After the two agreed, they started to act that day, Luo Li continued to lead the troops to stay in the local area, and continued to go out of the camp every day to scold and fight, staring at Liu Ruming's department, so that he did not dare to move, and Liu Bao immediately led the soldiers and horses of the battalion, left the camp, and rushed straight to a nearby village called Liushutun.

Liushutun was originally a village in the southwest of Yichuan County, and later the fertile land here was occupied by an official with a high surname, dozens of families in the village have now become tenants of the official surnamed Gao, and the official with the surname Gao has encroached on more land in the first few years, so after the chaos in Henan, the official surnamed Gao built a big village in Liushutun, and raised nearly 200 Zhuang Ding Huzhuang, and it was not without the idea of hitting Liushutun without a pole before. But they were all beaten back by Zhuang Ding, led by this Gao family, and their family is also very powerful in the local area, as long as there are thieves to attack Liushutun, the government will often send troops to rescue, so no matter how chaotic Liushutun is in the local area, it has not been broken, but it is very safe.

But this time the situation is different from usual, the arrival of the Xingtian Army made the local officials in Yichuan County rumored, and they retreated into the county seat one after another, not daring to come out to fight with the Xingtian Army, and at the same time, there was Liu Ruming's department stationed outside the city, and even Liu Ruming did not dare to fight with the Xingtian Army, let alone the local defenders in Yichuan.

Originally, the staff surnamed Gao thought that his home was relatively close to Liu Ruming's camp, and with his identity, the officers and soldiers of Liu Ruming's department did not dare to provoke them Liu Shutun.

But he didn't think that Liu Ruming would be a soft egg this time, as soon as the thief army came, he closed the door and did not dare to fight, but forced the thief army to pounce directly on his Zhuangzi.

When he learned that the thief army pounced on their Zhuangzi all the way, this high-ranking officer was suddenly frightened with cold hands and feet, and hurriedly sent his family to the county seat to ask for help, and on the other hand, he sent people to Liu Ruming's camp to ask Liu Ruming for help, and at the same time quickly sent Zhuang Ding to the village wall, set up a few earthen cannons and a nine-headed bird, and made a posture of fighting to the end.

Liu Baoke will not be polite to this surnamed Gao, after he led his troops to Henan, he has not fought a decent battle, and now that he has the opportunity to perform in the fourth battalion, how can he keep his hands! After he led his troops to Liushutun, he began to attack the village with artillery.

Don't look at the four battalions are not satisfied with the formation at the moment, only three companies of troops, but to deal with Zhuangzi like Liushutun, it is enough, first with a few three-pounder guns directly under the artillery team to bombard the past, then hit the Zhuang Ding in the Zhuang Ding chickens and dogs, and then a few rounds of guns, Zhuang Ding is basically no Zhuang Ding on the wall, not waiting for the knife players to start lifting the ladder to attack the village, the Zhuang gate was opened from the inside by a group of anti-water Zhuang Ding, and the senior staff outside the five flowers were sent out of the Zhuangzi.

Liu Bao is so depressed! This battle was really boring to the extreme, so he led his troops into the village, copied the Gao family, and left a part of the grain to distribute to the tenants in the village, and the rest were loaded and pulled back to the camp of the Xingtian Army.

And the whole family of the gentry surnamed Gao, Liu Bao didn't tell them anything about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and directly ordered the whole family of men to be killed, and the heads were also sent to the outside of the official army camp, and hung outside Liu Ruming's camp with a wooden pole, and then continued to lead his troops to the next target......
