At the last moment, love and righteousness prevailed over reason, and Deng Qiang let Han Xian have a way out.

The remnants of Han Xian fled the Yellow River in a hurry and temporarily settled in Huxian County on the south bank.

Qin Qiong led his troops to chase to Hebei, and when he learned that Deng Qiang had let Han Xian go, he was very unhappy.

But Qin Qiong is a person who knows the importance of the matter, and he knows the importance of Deng Qiang to the state army. There is another point, Qin Qiong can also understand Deng Qiang. If it were him, he might have made that choice.

Although it failed to completely annihilate the Han and Siamese troops, the capture of Hebei was also an important gain of the Hedong strategy.

Deng Qiang led his troops to garrison Hebei and Ruicheng. Qin Qiong led his troops and galloped across the Fengling River.

Fenglingdu is located at the bend of the Yellow River from north to south to east and west. To the south of the Yellow River is the dangerous Tongguan.

Qin Qiong seized Fenglingdu according to the original plan and completed full control of the east and west of the river.

……

Liu Mang arrived at Pusaka and joined Wang Meng, Shan Xiongxin and others.

Wang Meng handed over Qin Qiong's letter.

"Deng Qiang let Han Xian go for the sake of brotherhood, and hoped that the lord would consider the overall situation and forgive him."

Missed the opportunity to completely annihilate Han Siam, Liu Mang regretted it.

Liu Mang in his previous life was quite similar to Deng Qiang in terms of morality and brotherhood.

Liu Mang understood Deng Qiang.

Deng Qiang had just been attached, and stabilizing his heart was far more important than completely annihilating the remnants of Han Xian.

"Forget it." Liu Mang smiled faintly, "However, we have strict military discipline in the state army, and what Deng Qiang did can be tolerated, but it is not allowed by military law." How to deal with it, Jing Luo thinks of a way. ”

"The lord is righteous and righteous, and he apologized for Deng Qiang first. The lord's act of tolerance will surely move Deng Qiang's heart. ”

Liu Mang smiled heartily: "Hahaha, if you let Han Xian go, it will be worth it to make Deng Qiang return to his heart." ”

"In the name of a private person, the subordinates sent a letter to Deng Qiang, explaining the master's mind, and then asking Deng Qiang to make up for his mistakes, is it okay?"

"It's just as it goes."

Deng Qiang let go of Han Xian, how to solve Yang Feng's team entrenched in Anyi and Dayang. It is the final key to the Hedong strategy.

"How to solve Anyi and Dayang, I still have to plan for me." Liu Mang smiled slyly and said half-jokingly: "I am reluctant to kill the thousands of Baibo troops in Anyi." I was even more reluctant to let go. Jing Luo planned carefully and subdued Anyi Baibo, even if he made up for Deng Qiang. ”

Wang Mengcheng is in the chest. "Anyi Baibo Army is already in the bag."

"Oh?" Liu Mang was excited, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

"Anyi Baibo Army. The commander of the army has no courage and no strategy, so there is no need to worry too much. As long as Yang Feng is forced to give up Dayang and retreat to the south bank of the river, Anyi Baibo is isolated and helpless, and with a little trick, he can surrender without a fight. ”

Yang Fengbu was the strongest force of the Baibo Army, occupying Dayang, and it was the key to crossing the Yellow River in the southeast of the river to connect the Central Plains.

Storm Dayang, even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses.

How can you force Yang Bong to quit Dayang?

Wang Meng smiled easily. Said: "Yang Feng, a man without a plan." Our army only needs to make a show to scare them away. ”

"Oh?"

"Hebei has been owned by me, and the Baibo Army is in the north of the river, in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and only Dayang is a lonely city. Han Xian was defeated, and Yang Feng was entrenched in Dayang, and he must have been frightened. Our army only needs to make a gesture of crossing the Yellow River from Hebei to the south, and in the area of Yucheng, it is a big fanfare. Yang Fengbi believed that our army would make a detour to the south bank of the Yellow River, take Shaanxi County first, block its way to retreat south, and fight a decisive battle with Dayang. ”

"Oh, oh. Haha, the scenery is slightly smart! Liu Mang understood, "Yang Feng had no intention of staying in Hedong, and his soldiers and horses were the capital to bargain with other princes, and he was reluctant to fight them all." ”

"Yes, yes."

"Good! Let's do it. ”

Liu Mang immediately sent a letter to Xu Shiji of the Yi clan. Order its organization and implementation.

The specific strategy is to use Xu Huang, Tan Daoji, and Xu Shiji to surround Anyi from three sides, and surround but not fight. At the same time, Shi Jin was ordered to divide his troops all the way and rush to Yucheng to reinforce Fu Youde.

ordered Fu Youde to be in the area of Yucheng and make the illusion of transporting troops on a large scale.

At the same time, he ordered Deng Qiang to collect ferries in Hebei and make a gesture of preparing for the south crossing of the Yellow River with a large army.

……

Everything was arranged, and Liu Mang finally had time to take a good look at Puban City.

The candidate team hoarded a large amount of military resources in Kasaka.

After Deng Qiang seized Puban, he didn't have time to clean it up, and all the military funds were sealed. Many prisoners were also captured in the city, and before they had time to interrogate and interrogate, they were all imprisoned.

The candidate is Ma Teng's person, Liu Mang and Ma Teng have an alliance, and they should be cautious when treating prisoners.

Liu Mang set the principle of carefully interrogating all captives, non-important people, and respecting their personal wishes. You are welcome to stay in the Bingzhou Army, if you want to defect to Ma Teng, and the Bingzhou Army will arrange a ferry to take them across the river.

Especially for the families of generals such as Hou Xuan, Liu Mang specially instructed that they must be treated kindly.

Lin Chong came to see Liu Mang. "My lord, one of the captives once raised military horses for the candidates, what should I do?"

The candidate team is known for its light horse, and the person who raises his horse must not be wrong.

The state army is making every effort to build cavalry, and those who can raise horses can't let go!

They must be persuaded to stay and work for themselves.

"Bring it to me."

"No!"

"Wait, I'll go see him."

……

The person in front of him, less than thirty years old, was mediocre, cowardly, and very scared.

This person also has characteristics, with big eyes and small eyes. The left eye is normal, and the right eye seems to be squinting all the time. Between the neck, next to the collarbone, there is a birthmark, which looks like a galloping horse!

"What's your name?"

"The little one is called Ma Er......" The man trembled, not daring to face Liu Mang.

Judging by the words and appearances, it is very likely that this person has reported a false name. Liu Mang pretended not to notice it, and said: "There are people in our army who urgently need to raise horses, and I want you to help me raise military horses, and the treatment must be good, are you willing?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Liu Mang said good words to appease him and let Lin Chong make proper arrangements. At the same time, he quietly told Lin Chong to be optimistic and not let him escape.

After the interrogation of the captives had been completed, Lin Chong was in charge of arranging a ferry to take those who wanted to defect to Ma Teng across the Yellow River.

……

Liu Mang was studying strategies with Wang Meng in front of the map, and Lin Chong walked in with a few people twisting Ma Er.

"Lord, this guy is going to run!"

Liu Mang was a little annoyed. "You lied about your false name, I didn't care, I invited you with kind words, promised to treat you favorably, you already agreed, but you want to run, it's your fault."

"Uh, uh, I didn't, I didn't run......"

"Didn't run?" Lin Chong pointed to the box carried by his subordinates, "Not only did he run, but he also carried private goods!" ”

Liu Mang asked, "What is it?" ”

"Uh...... A small horse made of mud is not a private item......"

Ma Er's argument was weak and he became more nervous.

When I opened the box, it was a horse made of grass and mud.

The workmanship is so rough that it's hard to tell whether it's a horse or a dog.

Which one is busy fleeing and would bring such a thing?

Liu Mang reached out to take it, and it was very heavy.

There must be something quirky! (Horses made of grass and mud are not weird!) ）

Liu Mang's face sank, and he shouted: "Smash it open!" ”

Ma Er panicked, knelt a few steps, and hugged Liu Mang's legs. "The official is merciful! Be merciful......"

Liu Mang didn't want to embarrass such a little person. Seeing him scared like this, Liu Mang couldn't bear it. I bowed my head and was about to say a few words of comfort, but I was suddenly stunned!

The last time they met, Liu Mang noticed that there was a birthmark on Ma Er's neck.

The birthmark is like a galloping horse, and this time, although it is still a horse, it is a horse with its head bowed and grazing! (To be continued.) )
