The people of Qi County have not yet recovered from the horror of the rest of their lives.

This battle, for them, was a sudden catastrophe.

They did not welcome Zhang Yang from the party, but they felt strange and frightened to this new young Taiyuan Taishou Liu Mang, and the people of Qi County.

The most difficult thing in the world is to win the hearts and minds of the people.

The easiest thing in the world is to gain the trust of the people.

The people are simple in nature, and if they want to subdue the hearts of the people, they only need to do one thing: be sincere and good to them!

The battle in Taiyuan had just begun, and Liu Mang did not have time to sit down, talk to the people of Qi County, and strive for their understanding and trust.

Let's go straight and simple.

"Brother Qiao, I still have to borrow food from you."

Qiao Zhiyong smiled understandingly. "Originally, I was going to burn it, but now that it has been saved, the young master can use it at will, how can I borrow it."

Liu Mang solemnly held Qiao Zhiyong's hand. "Brother Qiao has suffered too much loss this time, and this account must be repaid. Looking back, I asked people to check with Brother Qiao one by one, and all the losses of Brother Qiao and the people of Qi County were borne by the Taiyuan County Government. ”

ordered someone to immediately write a notice to inform the people of Qi County, each household, to register with the county government, according to the number of people, by the county government free of charge; At the same time, the damage to the house is registered, and before the winter, the county government organizes repairs.

After appeasing the people of Qi County and encouraging Man Gui and others who were sticking to the city, Liu Mang hurriedly came to see Hu Luguang.

Although Hu Luguang's leg injury was serious, it was not life-threatening. struggling to sit up, he was held down by Liu Mang.

"Young master, his subordinates have violated military orders and are willing to be punished."

"General Mingyue, not only are you not guilty! And a great achievement! Liu Mang turned his head and asked the doctor next to him, "How is General Mingyue's leg injury?" ”

"It's okay to live. However, the leg bone has been broken, and the medical skills of his subordinates are shallow, so they can only ensure that the broken bone is connected, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no disability. ”

"How can this work?!" Liu Mang was anxious.

Hu Luguang said with a smile: "The young master doesn't have to care, his subordinates are used to riding horses, and they don't get in the way." ”

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Although Liu Mang said so, this medical craftsman is the best in military medicine, and he is not sure, and Liu Mang can only be anxious.

"General Mingyue, you can recuperate from your injuries first, and I will definitely do everything I can to heal your legs."

……

Yuci was unexpected, delaying time. Although it is important to appease the people of Qi County and their subordinates, the most important thing is to immediately solve the defeated Zhang Yang Department.

A number of scouts have been dispatched to find out the movements of the party army. Liu Mang asked Li Hongzhang to temporarily take charge of Qi County and do a good job in various pacification work, and Liu Mang and Liu Bowen and Su Dingfang should study the next step as soon as possible.

Although it was delayed for more than two days, the overall progress of the Taiyuan strategy was still within a controllable range.

Liu Bowen judged correctly, among the three forces that may affect the Taiyuan Raiders, Yuan Shao of Jizhou was the slowest to react. So far, Yuan Shao's team has not crossed Jingcheng and entered Taiyuan County.

The Yuci accident, in addition to delaying the time, caused the consequences mainly reflected in the battle for Qi County.

According to the strategy drawn up between them, the Hu Lüguang Department should make a detour to the south of Zhaoyuze, block the passage for the Shangdang army to retreat from the south through Hedong County, and force Zhang Yang to retreat to Shangdang through the Taiyue Mountain path.

Liu Bowen's original plan was to set up an ambush on the Taiyue Mountain Road and hit Zhang Yang hard.

However, because the main force was blocked by Yuci, Hu Luguang was unable to make a detour in order to rescue Qi County, resulting in Zhang Yang's southward retreat unimpeded.

Zhang Yang's return from Hedong County to the party is not the crux of the matter.

To the south of Qi County, there are four county seats: Jiexiu, Wu County, Zhongdu and Jingling. If Zhang Yang's troops occupied one or two of these cities, held the city, and cooperated with Yuan Shao's troops in Jizhou, Liu Mang would have to use troops on both sides, so scattered that even if he completely controlled Taiyuan, it would be difficult to hold it.

After a brief discussion, the three of them quickly reached an agreement: still according to the previous plan, use the fastest speed to drive Zhang Yang's troops back to Shangdang, and then gallop to the aid of Yuxian County, concentrate elite troops, and fight against Yuan Shao's team.

Zhang Yang's grain and grass were exhausted, and they were hit hard in Qi County. It is not difficult to repel Zhang Yangbu, but it is still time.

After repeatedly calculating the time, the conclusion was that within three days, the Jizhou army would cross Jingcheng and launch an attack on Yuxian and other places. And to defeat Zhang Yangbu, it will take at least three days, and it will take at least two days on the way to the north.

Yuan Shao's team in Jizhou is by no means comparable to the Zhang Yang Department of Shangdang, and it can be said that it is the strongest army in combat effectiveness among all the princes.

Li Xiucheng, who is stationed in Yu County, will face a more severe situation than Qi County.

Yuxian, danger!

"Young master, you must use the team of the Yin Pavilion."

Liu Mang bit his lower lip tightly.

Liulang Yang Yansi's team is Liu Mang's last card. Yanmen Pass is an important barrier against the Huns, and the team of the Yin Pavilion must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Liu Mang pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

"Write a letter, transfer Mr. Xiwen back from Huren, garrison Yanmen Pass on behalf of Yanzhao, and order Yanzhao to lead most of Yanmen to support Yuxian, and arrive within three days. Ordered Fu Youde of Pingcheng to pay close attention to the movements of the Xiongnu. ”

Liu Mang took the written letter, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and carefully tied it to the carrier pigeon.

Holding the carrier pigeon in hand, he hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind!

The white dove soared into the sky and flew towards Yanmen Pass......

……

Zhang Yang led his troops to flee thirty miles south, and after confirming that there were no more pursuers, Zhang Yang reined in his mount and ordered all his troops to reorganize their ranks and collect the remnants.

It's miserable!

Originally, victory was in sight, but the result turned out to be that the team lost nearly 30%.

Zhang Yang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

He lamented that God did not bless himself and let himself fail. He hated Liu Mang again and forcibly seized Taiyuan County.

Zhang Yang was still secretly scolding Yuan Shao in his heart. If Yuan Shao could have sent troops to Jingcheng two days earlier, why would he have suffered such a defeat in Qi County?

What made Zhang Yang most ashamed was that he was defeated in the hands of Liu Mang, a milky hairy child. If he returns to the party like this, he will not only become the laughing stock of the princes of the world, but also will not be able to get involved in Taiyuan in the future.

If he wants to save face and fight for the opportunity to intervene in Taiyuan, the only thing he can do now is to stick to the area of Zhaoyuze and wait for Yuan Shao of Jizhou, who is slow, to send troops to Jingcheng.

Zhang Yang tried to convince himself that the defeat of Qi County was just an accident.

As long as the Jizhou army crosses Jingcheng and its own team launches a counteroffensive at the same time in Zhaoyuze, the thousands of soldiers and horses under Liu Mang will definitely not be able to resist the attack from both sides.

"Taishou, Jingling County has arrived."

"Jingling ......" Zhang Yang hesitated again.

Jingling is too close to Qi County, and it has just been defeated, not only the soldiers of the Shangdang, but also Zhang Yang himself, who also has lingering palpitations. "Let's go to Zhongdu......"

Zhongdu County, less than 20 miles south-west of Jingling, a little away from Qi County, Zhang Yang's heart can also be a little more stable......
