Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ruyin Yingyangfu suddenly lost its target, and they almost without thinking concluded that the traitor was now chasing after the official army across the whirlpool, and they were afraid and did not dare to play tricks, so they went south overnight, trying to cross the border before the official army was encircled.
Pursue! Ruyin Yingyang Mansion did not hesitate, while urgently reporting to Zuo Xiaowei General Dong Chun, and at the same time telling Huaiyang Yingyang Mansion, asking them to fire from Yingyang to Ruyin, and after the two mansions converged, they went south to pursue together. Since you can't go alone, then the two governments will act together, but everyone has no intention of fighting, fighting will not only kill people, but also the risk of losing officials, and the credit for winning the battle is also Shangguan's, it is Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong, and it has nothing to do with the bloody and sweaty Ying Yangwei below, at most, it will be divided into some loot, even so, the big head of the trophy is also Shangguan's, and a large group of people below are divided into small heads, how much money can one person share? Therefore, they also hope that the traitors will cross the Huaibei as soon as possible, and not continue to harm the innocent in Huaibei, if you want to harm you, you will harm others.
The officers and troops were slow to unite, giving the rebels more time to evacuate. At dusk of the same day, just after Huaiyang Yingyang Mansion went south to Ruyin, Li Fengyun led his army to cross the river for the fourth time and re-enter the county. The soldiers of the rebel army were in high spirits, fully loaded with captures, and rushed in the direction of the whirlpool.
When Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong gradually approached Xia Cai, and when the two eagles of Ruyin and Huaiyang staggered and approached the Huai River, they were surprised to realize that the goal really disappeared and disappeared, and the traitor broke through the sky like a ghost, and disappeared under their noses.
Dong Chun immediately ordered that the eagles should be stationed on the spot, not rash, and not blindly looking for targets, so as not to be attacked by traitors. Immediately, scouts were sent to search carefully between the Huaishui, Yingshui and Huai rivers, and warned the two eagles of Ruyin and Huaiyang to be careful not to let the traitors escape from the encirclement and cross the Yingshui to the west.
While the official army was sweating profusely in the southern part of Ruyin County in search of traitors, Chen Rui led the main force of the rebel army to lurk in Longgang, a small town in the central part of the county.
Qian County is Han Yao's territory, with Han Yao's subordinates to arrange, the traces of the righteous army were completely hidden, hiding for ten days and a half is not a problem, but Li Fengyun gave a death order, only hide for three days, three days later must cross the water, with lightning and not cover the ears to capture Yongcheng, after a large number of plunder, then kill Pengcheng, stride eastward.
Chen Rui had confidence in Li Fengyun, and he believed that Li Fengyun would definitely return to Longgang within three days, but Li Fengyun disappointed him, and the westward division failed to return to Longgang to join the main force within the scheduled time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Rui led the army out in the early morning, and under the cover of night, crossed the water, and approached the Tongji Canal before dawn, which was close to Yongcheng.
At this moment, Yongcheng is an undefended city. After the robbery of Yongcheng, the entire county government was destroyed by the rebels, and the entire army from the county order to the Peng's subordinate Zuoshi was annihilated. It took time to rebuild the county government, and the county magistrate and other officials had to wait for the appointment and assignment of the eastern capital, so the county guard had to temporarily sit here. However, the main task of the county guard is to dredge the waterway, and besides, his official hat is no longer guaranteed, his career is precarious, the situation is bad, and he is not in the mood to take care of official affairs, causing Yongcheng to always fall into chaos and panic. After that, Fei Huai and Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion were all wiped out, which further aggravated the crisis in Yongcheng. Then Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, took away the troops of the three regiments of Yingyang Mansion in Qiaocheng that temporarily suppressed the Tongji Canal channel, and left only one regiment to help the county guard dredge the channel and maintain the safety of the channel. After the dredging of the Yongcheng section of the waterway, the county guard and the eagle Yangwei went north to Xiating to continue to dredge the channel, so Yongcheng now has neither a county government nor an army, and there is no defense at all.
At dawn, Chen Rui gave an order, and the rebels divided into two routes, one under the command of Han Shou, attacking Jinkou Wharf and plundering the ships on the canal, and one under the command of Lu Xingxing, attacking Yongcheng.
When the people of Yongcheng saw the thieves coming, their souls were scattered, and they abandoned the city and fled. The boats on the canal had no time to escape, and they were tied up. The rebels did not take Yongcheng with a single drum, and plundered it on a large scale, taking away everything that could be taken away, and burning everything that could not be taken away.
Chen Rui remembered Li Fengyun's instructions, grabbed it and left, and did not delay the time, in case there was an accident. At noon, Chen Rui ordered the large army to withdraw from Yongcheng, cross Suishui from the direction of Taoting, and advance rapidly towards Pengcheng County.
Not long after the rebels left, the county guard of Qian County rushed from Xia Pavilion with a group of eagle guards.
When he received the call from Yongcheng, he didn't believe it at all. The people of Yongcheng must be frightened, and they will bow and shadow at the slightest disturbance, scare themselves and exaggerate, but since they called the police and said that there were thieves attacking, then go and see. Now the traitors are being surrounded by Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and Zhu Yingyang on the front line of the river, but it is difficult to guarantee that there is no fish that slips through the net, but Yongcheng has no defensive strength, and it is like an empty city, maybe there will be dozens or hundreds of thieves with swords and arrows to easily capture a miracle of a county seat, and at that time it will be enough to lose his official hat, and this old face will be a lifetime of shame.
However, halfway through the road, he met several rich people who had escaped from Yongcheng, and everyone rode horses and galloped all the way to the police.
Thousands of thieves? Yongcheng has fallen again? Jinkou Pier destroyed again? The waterway is interrupted again? The county guard was stunned, trembling like a lightning strike, in disbelief. How is this possible? Aren't the thieves surrounded by Dong Chun in the area of Weishui in the west? How did it appear in Yongcheng? Could it be that the thief grew wings and flew out of the encirclement?
The county guard was desperate, this time it was difficult to escape, he hated because of despair, and while he hated the traitor with his teeth, he also hated Dong Chun. It's okay if you don't reach out to pull me when I drown, but you shouldn't kick me. I may still have a chance to live, but you kicked me over, but completely cut me off my life and sent me to a dead end. Okay, you are ruthless, you are unkind to me and unjust, if you kick me, I will slap you back.
When the county guard arrived at Yongcheng, there was still thick smoke billowing in front of him, and the fire was soaring to the sky, from the canal, the wharf to the city, all of them were caught in the sea of fire. The originally prosperous place suffered two catastrophes in a short period of time, and in the blink of an eye, it became a pile of ruins.
Someone urgently reported that the thief fled to Pengcheng through the Taoting Pavilion, should he chase it?
Pursue? The county guard laughed miserably, what to chase? Fei Huai led three regiments to chase and the whole army was wiped out, what should I chase with one regiment? Don't you die fast enough?
Someone reminded the county guard that General Dong was leading the eagles to the west to pursue the thieves in the area of Weishui and Yingshui, but now the thieves appeared on the Tongji Canal and were flowing to Pengcheng in the east. General Dong not only took charge of the Xuyu military as General Zuo Xiaowei, but also served as the chief administrator of Pengcheng as the inspector of Pengcheng. Therefore, should we urgently report to General Dong and ask him to lead his army back to Pengcheng to suppress the thieves?
The county guard sneered, "For a certain crime, is it to remove the name of the people?" Or is it a stream with a side? Or is it a public show? ”
The subordinates were silent and did not dare to speak again. After the county guard is finished, there is no way to vent his grievances, but General Dong failed to suppress the thieves, let the thieves run to Yongcheng, and gave the county guard a fatal blow, who do you say the county guard's full of grievances will be vented on? Of course, it's General Dong. If you want to pull a cushion when you are dying, General Dong, you are finished.
The county guard ordered to clean up the mess, neither rushed to report to the Eastern Capital, nor contacted General Dong, and even lacked interest in the top priorities such as writing a chapter and organizing personnel to fight fires, so he went to sleep in the temporary tent set up by Ying Yangwei. Anyway, sticking out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is a knife, so let's do it, the broken jar is broken.
But if this man is upside down, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water. The officials, the army, and the people were busy all afternoon, and finally put out the fire, and one by one they were tired, hungry, and exhausted, and almost lay down, when a fully armed army of Yingyang Mansion in military uniforms rushed over from the west bank of the Tongji Canal.
When the officials, soldiers, and people of Yongcheng saw it, they immediately became angry. When the thieves burned, killed, and plundered, you didn't appear, and the thieves fled, and you poured out, and you swaggered, showing off your might, what are you angry? A swarm of bees rushed up, scolding their heads and covering their faces, and bricks and stones flew all over the sky, smashing towards the eagle Yangwei like raindrops. As soon as the bricks and stones were smashed down, they drew their knives and raised their guns, one by one like wolves and tigers, fierce and vicious, and they cut with knives and stabbed with guns, and in a blink of an eye, they lay down a large area. The people of Yongcheng were horrified, and the wolves rushed and fled in all directions.
Someone reported to the county guard, an army came, there were thousands of people, it is estimated that it is the eagle Yangwei who is chasing and killing the thief, so it is reasonable for the county guard to come forward to take a look, soothe it, so as not to give people a handle, if General Dong happens to be in this army, wouldn't they be embarrassed and embarrassed by each other? It's okay not to mention General Dong, but at this mention of General Dong, the county guard suddenly became angry and furious, "I don't see." If asked, they said that so-and-so died, hacked to death by thieves, and was in a different place. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard rushed in, his face was blank, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Envoy, the big thing is not good, Ying Yangwei has killed someone, and Ying Yangwei has rebelled." ”
The county guard was taken aback, and before he could open his mouth to ask about the situation, he heard a tsunami-like shouting outside, and then a group of guards rushed in, picked him up and ran. In the panic, the crown was also slanted, the shoes also fell off, barefoot, one foot deep and one shallow foot rushed dozens of steps, and then was thrown on horseback and fled.
The county guard was so angry that his eyes were about to split, and he looked at the sky and roared. Dong Chun, you set up arson and kill people, harming innocent people, and deceiving people too much, how can the old man give up with you? The old man wants to play, he wants to impeach, and he swears to pull you off the horse.
Dong Chun had already arrived at the bank of the Huai River at this moment, but he still did not find any trace of the traitor. He was very confused, and he was very frightened, and a sense of foreboding hung over his heart.
Where did the traitor go? With Han Yao's power in Qian County and his influence on the wealthy people in the surrounding counties, he can indeed advance and retreat freely in this area, and enter and exit like no one. Could it be that the thief is really Han Yao? Did you misjudge? If the thief was Han Yao, where would he be now?
Han Yao is now walking in Pengcheng. He and Li Fengyun led the team all the way to Longgang, but they were still half a day late from the appointed time. The two were worried that the main force would be blocked in Yongcheng, so they didn't dare to delay, so they told the soldiers that the main force was fighting Yongcheng and looting the Tongji Canal. Tongji Canal is a cornucopia, with countless riches and mouth-watering. The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and after a short rest, after eating and drinking, they threw off and rushed away.
When they arrived at Tongji Canal, they were already in ruins, which meant that the main force of the rebel army had been burned and plundered, and as long as they caught up with the main force, they could get a share of the spoils without wasting their efforts. The momentum of the soldiers was like a rainbow, like a fierce tiger in the mountains, and they killed Yongcheng in one go, crossed the Suishui, and entered the territory of Pengcheng at dusk. After midnight, the two armies joined forces, and for a time there was a thunderous sound that resounded in the night sky.
