The Yanmen army is speeding on the road to Jinyang.

Although the information from various ministries is that everything is going well, Liu Mang is still not at ease.

The stationing of various departments in the designated area is only the first step in the Taiyuan strategy. The key is to prevent Yuan Shao in the east, Zhang Yang in the south, and Gao Shun in the west.

Liu Mang reined in the reins and waited for Liu Bowen to catch up.

"Mr. Berwyn, I'm still worried about the direction of Jingcheng, Xiucheng is in charge, can he do it?"

"Young master, it is really helpless to let Xiucheng guard the well alone, but it is also the best choice. Xiucheng, loyal and brave. The more difficult it is, the more loyal it is to the young master. ”

Liu Mang nodded. In the battle of Daijun Lingqiu, Li Xiucheng's loyalty and courage were fully displayed, and Liu Mang had no doubts.

However, Li Xiucheng will face the powerful Yuan Shaobu of Jizhou, and Liu Mang is still worried.

"Don't worry too much about the young master. There are three reasons why a certain person suggested that Xiucheng should be left alone. First, Xiu Chengcai is slightly capable of doing anything, and he will live up to expectations. The second is Yuan Shao of Jizhou, who is more conscheming and less decisive, and when he learns the news of Taiyuan, he will report it layer by layer, and when Yuan Benchu responds, my Yanmen army has controlled the entire territory of Taiyuan. At that time, even if Jizhou came to attack, most of us could rush to the aid of Yu County and force Yuan Benchu back. ”

Listening to Liu Bowen's explanation, Liu Mang's heart was a little more stable.

"That's the third, hehe......" Liu Bowen showed his old slippery side again.

Liu Mang glanced at him: "You and me, you and I have something to say." ”

"Okay." Liu Bowen lifted the reins of the horse, got closer, and said in a low voice: "All the generals of our Yanmen are eloquent and strategic, and they are all handsome, but they are all handsome, but ......"

Liu Mang pouted: "Just say it." ”

"Then I'll be blunt. However, if three generals are sent to guard the three counties at the same time, they may go their own way and it will be difficult to coordinate operations, and the result will be no better than handing over the three places to Xiucheng, so that he can stand alone and coordinate the three counties. ”

Liu Mang smiled bitterly, there are more talents, and there are more troubles.

"Among the generals of Yanmen, only Zhijie is the best at cooperating, seems to be rough, but understands the overall situation, can bend and stretch, and make him the deputy general of Xiucheng, in order to ensure that Yuxian County is worry-free."

Liu Mang smiled with satisfaction.

Cheng Yanjin's task was to contain Xihe Gaoshun and make him hesitate and not dare to enter Taiyuan.

And another task of Cheng Biting Jin's department was to force Gao Shun to retreat, and immediately lead his troops eastward to assist Li Xiucheng and hold the three places of Yuxian.

The deployment of the entire Taiyuan Raiders has been secretly discussed by Liu Mang and Liu Bowen many times. asked Liu Bowen again, more to calm the nervousness.

Among the subordinate martial arts, Yan Qing and Cheng Yanjin are the closest people to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang felt very relieved to hear Liu Bowen's comments on Cheng Yanjin.

I don't know what happened to Brother Cheng......

……

Cheng Yanjin is very comfortable.

For him, lying in the grass of the mountains is even more comfortable than lying at home, because there is always a group of brothers gathered on the side to listen to him brag!

And this time, leading the team to sneak into Xihe County, Lao Cheng felt particularly comfortable. He is the commander of his team, and everyone must obey his orders. Even, when he bragged about his flaws, no one dared to expose them casually.

Lao Cheng is at ease, but the deputy general Pei Yuanshao is not as easy as him.

Looking at the interval when old Cheng was tired of bragging and bragging, Pei Yuanshao coaxed away the brothers gathered on Cheng Biting Jin's edge, and said with an anxious face: "Brother Jin, we've been here for two days, and there is no movement from Gao Shun in Shicheng, did we run in vain this trip?" ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Pei Yuanshao with disdain. "I said that you are not a thief now, but a general under our young master, and you are also a Han officer, can you be like a general?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Yanjin sat up and put on a preachy look, "How many times have I told you." You always shout Brother Jin, what is it? If you have a little culture, just call me 'Brother Zhijie', if you are not educated, call me Brother Cheng, or even call me Lao Cheng directly. I don't have the surname Jin, a brother Jin, what do you mean? ”

Pei Yuanshao didn't have time to argue with him, so he quickly admitted his mistake and apologized, lest he keep chattering again.

"It's not that I want to say you, but I have to say you. What is the purpose of coming to Xihe on the order of the young master? ”

"The purpose is to contain Lishi Gaoshun."

"That's it! Our purpose is to contain him and make him have no courage to enter Taiyuan. ”

"But, if he doesn't come out, how can we contain it?"

Cheng Yanjin wanted to scold: Are you stupid?

But Lao Cheng didn't scold, he cared very much about the identity of the commander of the army. Be patient and enlighten Pei Yuanshao. "Our task is to contain, not to fight. When he leaves the city, we will pretend to attack Lishi and force him back. If he doesn't go out of the city and doesn't enter Taiyuan, then let's stop here, what's the hurry? ”

Pei Yuanshao had nothing to say.

"Oh, yes. I asked you to prepare your clothes, and after Gao Shun left the stone, let's feint to attack the stone, what are you going to do? ”

"What's going on?"

Cheng Yanjin was finally anxious. "Did I say it in vain before? I asked you to inform the brothers that when attacking Lishi, you must make up as a yellow scarf, you won't forget, right? ”

Pei Yuanshao finally found an opportunity to refute Cheng Biting Jin. "Brother Cheng, is it too much for you to worry? Why don't you want to think about what I and this group of brothers used to do? ”

Cheng Biting Jin turned his cute eyes, scratched his head, and laughed. "Okay, blame me for this, you were originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and you didn't need to wear makeup at all......"

……

Liu Mang, Liu Bowen, Changsun Wuji, and Su Dingfang, among others, led 2,000 people, day and night, and finally in the early morning of August 20, they felt rushed to Jinyang, the administrative office of Taiyuan County.

Outside Jinyang City, it's quiet.

Although it is not as lively as square dance, it is quiet and not noisy, which also shows that Jinyang has not undergone great changes, which is what Liu Mang hopes to see the most.

The entry of 2,000 troops into Jinyang is bound to cause unease among the people in the city.

Jinyang, for some time to come, is the base camp and base area. Extraordinary measures were taken to seize Jinyang, although Li Yan and others would strictly seal the news, but the kidnapping of the children of the Wang family would spread sooner or later. The people of Jinyang will inevitably be dissatisfied with the Yanmen army and the new Taiyuan Taishou Liu Mang.

It is better to try to avoid misunderstandings among the people and be cautious. Liu Mang ordered to go down, and the army was encamped three miles outside the city, and no one was allowed to enter Jinyang City without permission.

The Yanmen military camp is still under construction, and in Jinyang City, a team has come out.

The team is not large, and there is a warm car in the middle.

"It's Li Gongzi!" The sharp-eyed guard shouted.

Sure enough, it was Li Yan and his party.

The frame slowly came to the vicinity of the barracks and stopped. Li Yan walked to the warm car, whispered a few words to the people in the car, and carefully pulled the curtain to block the wind......
