The scouts sent information one after another, and Zhang Xianzhong led a large group of men and horses to quickly pass through Fenxi and come towards Qinzhou.

Liukou's movements were very fast, there were no mistakes along the way, there was no delay at all, and most of the time, they didn't take the official road, they all took some small roads.

What made Su Tiancheng extremely depressed was that most of the people in Pingyang Mansion did not seem to resist the Liukou, although they did not join the Liukou's team, but they did not report the whereabouts of the Liukou to the government. Needless to say, the Jiangning battalion was responsible for the suppression of bandits in Shanxi, and most of the remaining sergeants had to be mobilized to Shaanxi.

When the scout reported this information, Su Tiancheng thought of Su Tianran, it was precisely because of the killing of good and exploiting the people, etc., that the imperial army had lost the support of the people, on the other hand, Zhang Xianzhong, not harassing the people, could hide his whereabouts to the greatest extent, if he didn't predict accurately, this time Zhang Xianzhong might really succeed.

The rogue travels fast.

The news of the scout's reconnaissance is very detailed, according to their observations, the army of the rogues did not carry much grain and grass, which is the main reason for the fast marching speed of the rogues, and the team did not have much drag, but in this case, the rogues did not dare to delay for a long time on the way, if the grain and grass were tight, the army of 50,000 was not easy to maintain.

According to the scout's analysis, the Liukou led by Zhang Xianzhong may arrive in Wuxiang County and pass through Qiyue Mountain within two days.

The Jiangning battalion has already begun to enter the final stage of preparation.

The happiest is He Renlong, who has attended several meetings and learned the news from the meeting. Zhang Xianzhong led the Liukou in the direction of Qinzhou, which shows that Su Tiancheng's prediction is surprisingly accurate.

He Renlong once thought about reporting this news to Lord Sun Chengzong. But he didn't do it in the end, there were too many changes in it, it was not done well, the letter was lost, or the secret was leaked in advance, such a crime, he couldn't bear it, besides, this information. If it is necessary, Su Tiancheng will naturally report it.

The Jiangning battalion set up an artillery battalion, which He Renlong was very surprised by, isn't the Shenji battalion an artillery battalion, why set up an artillery battalion alone, if this is discovered by the opponent, and directly attack the artillery battalion, wouldn't it be a big loss.

Anyway. The 3,000 sergeants he led finally became a member of the vanguard force. Although it is to follow the cavalry to charge, but this is also normal, charging into battle, the role of cavalry is the greatest, can break the opponent's defense line, the maximum blow to the opponent's morale.

The troops marched at a high pace, though. But Zhang Xianzhong has always been very attentive, and the nets that have been cast in all directions are also constantly providing him with information.

He Maniac came to Shanxi to participate in the information of the fight, and Zhang Xianzhong also knew about it.

The Jiangning camp is not easy to deal with, and there is a madman again. Zhang Xianzhong felt a headache, if the Jiangning Battalion and He Renlong divided their troops and each stationed on the same road, it would be really difficult for him to do it. However, he soon learned that He Renlong led the sergeant directly to Yueyang County.

Zhang Xianzhong patted his forehead and shouted God help me.

As long as he can capture the city of Liaozhou and get a lot of supplies and equipment, Zhang Xianzhong is not so afraid of the Jiangning battalion, they are all people, as long as the ordnance is in place, who is afraid of whom.

Entering Qinzhou, nothing happened, because the action was fast, and the government didn't even notice that the Liukou was coming, and in this case, Jiang Ningying naturally didn't know what to do.

Time represents everything, Zhang Xianzhong will not delay a moment, the sooner the better, it is best to pass through Qinzhou quickly, go directly to Liaozhou, travel day and night, speed up the speed of the march, and even march in broad daylight, anyway, the common people of Shanxi hate the government and will not report the news, as for those gentry and rich households, they have already fled to the county seat.

The sergeant's actions were fast, and Zhang Xianzhong had always been very cautious, sending a large number of scouts every day to observe the situation in front and back, and there was no big mistake in being careful.

The army's grain and grass are insufficient, which is an unavoidable situation, which also makes Zhang Xianzhong unable to delay more time, and must rush to Liaozhou in the shortest possible time, attack Liaozhou City, and solve any problems.

When the news of Zhang Xianzhong's entry into Qinzhou came, all of Su Tiancheng's attention was focused on the sand table.

Jiangning Ying's plan has been in the most thorough situation, now it depends on how Zhang Xianzhong will choose, these days, Su Tiancheng has been looking at the sand table, and at the same time looking at the map of Qinzhou and Wuxiang County.

There is a fatal thing, the road through Wuxiang County, not only the road of Qiyue Mountain.

There is also an official road, more than three miles away from Qiyue Mountain, if Zhang Xianzhong loses his mind and makes a bold decision, from the swaggering past of the official road, he will make a big joke.

Although judging from Zhang Xianzhong's habit of marching these days, more than ninety percent of the rogues may not take the official road, Su Tiancheng must ensure 100 percent and cannot make the slightest mistake.

When Liu Tiehan entered the Chinese military tent, he saw Su Tiancheng's face being extremely serious, and Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang, Xiong Zijian and others on the side did not have any smiles on their faces.

"Liu Tiehan, you go to complete a task, take the thirty brothers of the scout camp, set up checkpoints on the official road three miles away from Qiyue Mountain, check the people passing by, just say that it is to prevent the rogues, the attitude should be stricter, let the people complain everywhere, and collect some copper coins when necessary."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

"Liu Tiehan, you have to remember that the more you put the shelf, the better, your purpose is not to prevent rogues, but to extort money."

After Liu Tiehan left the Chinese military tent, Sun Chuanting spoke.

"My lord, do you want to report the situation to the county government of Wuxiang County, Zhang Xianzhong has entered Qinzhou, and will enter Wuxiang County tomorrow, at this time, the report will not leak out, Liu Tiehan led thirty brothers, the amount of strength is a little insufficient, Zhang Xianzhong sent a large number of scouts, if they noticed that there were only more than 30 people on the official road, would they decide to pass through the official road, if they can mobilize the sergeants of the county inspection department, make an appearance, they will definitely be able to confuse Zhang Xianzhong."

"No, I can't report the information, it's the most critical moment, the news must not be leaked, the officials of Pingyang Prefecture, at this time, are hiding in the city, like a turtle with a shrunken head, relying on them, what can be done, maybe it will be bad. As for Liu Tiehan, as long as he makes a situation, there will be no danger, and the card on the official road is just to dispel Zhang Xianzhong's luck psychology and let the rogue go from Qi Yueshan. ”

"If Zhang Xianzhong must go through the official road, it will be a little troublesome."

"This matter, it is impossible to be completely beautiful, we can only do the best, Zhang Xianzhong must pass from the official road, we can only follow the pursuit, the division of troops mentioned earlier is inappropriate, the Jiangning battalion is like a palm, the five fingers are stretched out and fanned, hit the face, at most many people's eyes are golden, and they can also act, even self-defense, can be pinched into a fist, a punch down, can knock down the other party, so that the other party has no power to fight back."

Sun Chuanting nodded and stopped talking.

"This time to exterminate the rogue, the most important task is to exterminate the bandit leader Zhang Xianzhong, no matter how much the price is paid, Zhang Xianzhong cannot be allowed to escape, if necessary, you can let go of the rogue, it is extremely necessary to capture or kill Zhang Xianzhong."

Liu Tiehan took thirty scouts and quickly set up a card on the official road.

It is the spring ploughing season, the climate is a little cold, many places in Qiyue Mountain, you can still see the snow, the snow on the mountain, it will not melt for a while, but the official road is very dry.

Liu Tiehan didn't understand, for what Su Tiancheng asked him to have a bad attitude, and he wanted to look like he was extorting money, but Su Tiancheng asked for it, this is a military order, and he must do it.

In just half a day, the ordinary people passing by the official road were exploited and blackmailed, and everyone complained, and soon spread the news.

Zhang Xianzhong soon learned the news.

The army is about to enter the territory of Wuxiang County, all the way is very calm, did not encounter any officers and soldiers, it should be said that after entering Qinzhou, Zhang Xianzhong has been very cautious, the official road suddenly appeared on the inspection of the sergeant, he also felt strange, could it be that his whereabouts were exposed.

However, the information fed back quickly reassured him, it turned out to be a group of sergeants from the inspection department, and then investigated the affairs of the rogues and exploited the people's money, and he had seen a lot of such things.

Some people suggested that since this was the case, the army simply passed through the official road, killed the small number of sergeants from the inspection department, and went straight to Liaozhou.

Zhang Xianzhong decisively rejected this suggestion.

It is very easy to exterminate a small number of sergeants of the inspection department, but the matter will soon leak out, which cannot be kept secret at all, and the people will definitely talk about it everywhere, so the whereabouts of the army will be exposed, and the Jiangning battalion is still in Yueyang County, if they learn this news, they will definitely rush over as quickly as possible, so that the time for them to attack the city of Liaozhou will be greatly reduced.

Besides, the sergeants of the inspection department are guarding the official road, and they can also become the best cover for the army, the army passed from Qiyue Mountain, bypassing the official road, and the sergeant of the inspection department is still guarding the official road, so the news passed out, everything is normal in Wuxiang County.

Qiyue Mountain, Zhang Xianzhong has been here before, the mountains are high and dense, easy to hide the army, and basically will not expose his whereabouts.

The army began to accelerate, quickly entering the territory of Wuxiang County, and coming in the direction of Qiyue Mountain.

There are still scouts along the road, but because of the urgency of time, Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to delay time on the road, and the distance between the army and the scouts is only about five miles. (To be continued......)
