The sporadic rangers peeping in the rear eventually turned into smoke and dust billowing on the skyline.

Because of the mixed with the full load of baggage wagons and horses of the brigade, the rear team, which was slow to move and was quite bloated, finally appeared a little panicked.

In the middle of the formation, which had the largest number of people on foot, my main three battalions continued to move forward in an inverted zigzag, unhurried and orderly marching. By the way, those key goals are caught in the middle.

At this time, you can already feel the faint smell of fireworks sent by the wind.

"It's finally here."

I sighed slightly, much later than expected.

"The whole army changed formations and began to prepare for the battle with all its might......"

"Let those feudal soldiers protect the middle and front teams and keep marching......"

"My headquarters stays to buy time and help the team......

I looked at the terrain around me that was just between the hills, and according to some of the plans and measures I had prepared in advance, I issued the order like a stream.

"The left battalion moved closer to the nearest mountain......

"Protect the baggage ring to form a car formation, and do a nearby defensive ......"

"The rangers and patrolmen on both flanks have all shrunk back......"

"Prepare for support and gather the rear team ......"

"Half of the pro-direct regiments of this camp are dispatched and take turns to block the incoming enemy ......"

"The right battalion acts as a reserve and a rear, and builds fortifications and defensive lines on the spot to stand by......"

"Be aware of the ...... that may occur in the front team and in the formation"

Before I could finish my words, I saw a sudden commotion in the front team that had gone away, and then there was a commotion.

It seems that there are still people who sneak in and want to take the opportunity to do something. However, this is also in the variables and categories that I expected

"Someone ...... coming"

I ordered it right away.

"Transfer a regiment from the right battalion to assist in the suppression of ......"

"The right cruising squad is immediately dispatched to hunt down all suspicious escapees......"

However, the 3,000 local feudal soldiers I took with me, with the assistance or supervision of a regiment of soldiers sent to support them, gradually took control of the situation and gradually calmed down the chaos? Come.

It's just that in this way, it is inevitable to suffer from this delay in time and travel. This is also an expected but uncontrollable conspiracy.

At this time, the increasingly fierce fighting and fleeing voices of the rear team had also caught up and quickly approached.

With the temporary preset array in the rear, the sound of shelling began to sound, as if it was a kind of prelude and beginning.

"There can be a name here ......"

I suddenly asked, but I remembered the place where the battle was named.

"This should be the Mokpo River in the lower reaches of the Shatou River......"

But it was Du Shiyi who joined the army and replied.

"Just three or four miles away, there are local post stations and inns......

After all, according to the plan prepared earlier, as an alternative retreat route, it has been surveyed and explored along the way.

In fact, even earlier, out of some kind of precautionary or unsightly plan, he was in charge of leading several survey teams, passing through the local area along the way, and privately carrying out geographical mapping work.

At this time, I got a more detailed report, but it was Luo Zhanrong, who made a comeback, and those rebels concentrated the strength in their hands and were able to send a large horse team.

They did not rush to recapture Liaocheng for a long time, but bypassed and directly chased the traces of our brigade of men and horses, and killed them all the way.

Of course, if he really wants to recapture Liaocheng, there will be a big "surprise......

At the same time, Liaocheng also ushered in a mighty brigade of people

"Finally back",

Luo Zhanrong sighed, drove his horse through the open city gate, and saw a crowd of left-behind vassals and officials kneeling in front of the door, as well as the nearby people who were forced to come out along the way and crouched on the side of the road to greet them.

Their hasty and humble expressions made Luo Zhanrong look very useful.

Therefore, Luo Zhanrong restrained his subordinates and slowed down on the street, walking for a while longer than usual, before coming to the main house in the inner city, in the lobby of the mansion where he gave orders.

Everything seemed to be going so smoothly, there was no fight and no resistance, even the remaining defenders in the city lost their weapons and armor all over the ground, took off their standard robes, and honestly stayed in the camp and waited for his punishment.

Except for Zhu Yannian, the inner ruler who committed suicide by drinking medicine in his place and died for his family, other things seem to be quite satisfactory. To be honest, he actually didn't want to force the other party to death, and he could even give preferential treatment and retain him.

After all, with this senior courtier who is extremely familiar with his family, it is undoubtedly an important banner and a potential call, and it can also save time and worry in other aspects.

It's just that when the last group of people who were in charge of taking over the points in the city came back with a bitter face......

Empty, all the warehouses and warehouses are empty, even rats can't hide them cleanly, this result made Luo Zhanrong's calm and calm face in front of people suddenly turn pale.

So much grain, grass and supplies, except for a small part that was taken away and used along the way, certainly would not have disappeared out of thin air.

There was no sign of burning or ruining (because for for someone it was too wasteful and immoral), enough to support the soldiers and civilians of the whole city for two or three months, and then the world evaporated.

This made him feel a little frustrated and lost; But then some clues and reports from the city suddenly made him suddenly realize.

These things have not really disappeared, and they have not even escaped from Liaocheng, but they have just fallen into the hands of tens of thousands of households from the hands of the centralized management of the temporary government and in the name of organizing the whole city to participate in labor service.

It is said that on the last day, the remaining supplies were left almost in the open air, and no one was allowed to take them at their own discretion, so although there were many people who felt that there was something wrong with them, they still did not follow the crowd and took advantage of the crowd, and they moved them home as much as possible.

In this way, if Luo Zhanji wants to regain these resources, he must play and play the role of a strict and cruel antagonist who is seriously opposed to the side that generously gave grain at the beginning; This is undoubtedly a big blow and weakening in terms of authority and credibility to him who has just mastered his own family.

And in the process of this large-scale expropriation, it will certainly not be willingly or innocent, so it will also cause him more resentment and hatred. ，

What's worse is that it is like if he wants to re-loot it back regardless of his face, and it is not something that can be completed in a short time and a half, which also provides enough buffer and time for those soldiers and civilians who are coerced away by Huaizhen.

However, he still had to pinch his nose to accept the result and do these things as the other party wanted; Because, these centaurs he brought with him also needed enough money, food, and supplies as a reward and motivation to continue following him.

Otherwise, the situation of the disintegration and disintegration of the princes' alliance in the Dongshan City Incident will be staged again around him; After two setbacks, he promised to give out a lot of things, and he no longer had too many conditions and bargaining chips to take out the long-term temptation.

therefore

Now he only hoped that he had done everything he could to save face and means to be able to send the pursuing troops to achieve decent results and a shameful record, and it was best to be able to solve the rather troublesome Yuanzong once and for all.

Although he knew that the other party was not a good person, it was rare for him to reveal such a flaw and opportunity because he was greedy for the population and wealth of Liaocheng, so it was no wonder that he went all out.

In this way, not only can you break the whole family's fear of being invincible, but at least for a short time, you don't have to worry about the follow-up actions and threats of this strong neighbor.

Because the Boluo Club has already made its own plans and arrangements, as long as this Huaidong leader is gone, or at least he can't see things for a short time; The powerful people in the Southern Dynasty will echo it, and take measures and act actively in response to the emptiness of the power structure in Huaizhen;

In this way, Huaidong Town will not be able to continue to meddle in the affairs of Anton Luo Domain, at least until the internal relationship is reorganized. It is even possible to give up and shrink, and the chassis and rights and interests they have obtained in western Liaoning are undoubtedly an excellent prospect and expectation.

Immediately afterwards, another bad news and blow fell on his head, although the public facilities and office buildings in the outer and inner cities were generally well preserved;

However, most of the officials and subordinates of the corresponding departments have disappeared; And it's not that they have fled home, and the exact news of the oil says that they were taken away by Huaizhen along with their families.

In addition, the documents and drawings located in the cabinet and the storage room of the main family, the account books and seals filed at all levels, and the various daily notes of the feudal lords and their important family members were all not easy to fly.

What are you kidding, these documents and account books accumulated by the Luo clan after ruling Anton for hundreds of years can be said to be an indispensable part of another kind of wealth and the foundation of rule.

Once these important contents are missing, even if he masters Liaocheng, he can only do anything about the surrounding areas in a short period of time.

After missing the most important of them, the land and household registers, and running away with the corresponding experienced and skilled clerks, what did he use to collect taxes and servitude, did he personally lead the team to collect it, or did he go to the army to rob and arrest it?

Thinking of this, he hated the Yuan Sect who led the Huai army even more, and this trick of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle almost brought his easily obtained advantages and advantages back to his original shape.

But he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood silently, otherwise, once this situation and news are publicized, the prestige and unified people he has easily established will only be shaken and centrifuged again.

therefore

For the former chief secretary Cheng Luoyu, who had just been informed and hurriedly came to meet and express his merits, it was difficult to have a good face.

It's just that he has just taken control of his own family, and he still needs the exemplary role of these undertone converters, and he also needs them to continue to exert their residual heat to maintain the daily operation of the city.

It was easy for him to calm his mood and say a few words of comfort and comfort to the vain and aggrieved man, and then he saw one of the guards hurrying in and whispering something in his ear.

Luo Zhanji's face became a little reluctant to stand up, and he didn't even say a word of accusation, but walked straight out.

"Damn, who's leaking ......"

He growled almost as he walked as he whispered to the left and right that followed him

"Are they making a fuss......

"What, someone has already led the team to rob the ......"
