The 15,000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Nanjiang, Baoning Prefecture, under the leadership of Liu Shiliang, the commander of the Xiaocai Battalion, rushed to Bazhou City at the fastest speed.

The time when Liu Shiliang entered Bazhou City was the evening of the sixth day of the eighth month.

The atmosphere in Bazhou City is highly tense, the army is stationed, indicating that the war is about to begin, for a few months, Bazhou has become the most lively place, stationed here Bao Ningwei, and the Liukou have fought several times, the losses on both sides are not small, they know very well, the main force of the Liukou, most of them are concentrated in the Bazhou area, with their strength, it is impossible to fight, if the Liukou is fully dispatched, only the fate of destruction.

After the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion entered Bazhou, the commander of Bao Ningwei sent a breath of air.

Qin Liangyu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, was strict, and all the commanders of the guards did not dare to disobey the military orders, otherwise they would not be able to keep their heads.

Commander Wei personally went to visit Liu Shiliang.

The level of the two is the same, they are both Wei commanders, but the actual treatment is very different, what is the reputation of the Jiangning battalion, the guard commander of the Jiangning battalion, any one person comes out, and the prestige exceeds that of the provincial commander, so after seeing Liu Shiliang, the attitude of the Wei commander is very humble.

Liu Shiliang had already received the order.

As the commander of the guard, he needs to think independently, which is strictly required by Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou, he used to be able to completely obey Su Tiancheng's arrangement, but now he can't, many times, he needs to make independent judgments.

After meeting the commander of Bao Ningwei, the first thing Liu Shiliang asked. Even in the current situation, especially in the last two days, it should be said that the news of the Jiangning battalion's large-scale dispatch is also known to the Liukou.

The answer of the commander of Bao Ningwei made Liu Shiliang very strange. A few days ago, the rogues still didn't launch a small-scale attack, but since yesterday, for two days in a row, the rogues have not been able to attack.

The large-scale mobilization of the Jiangning battalion is preparing to annihilate the Liukou, it is said that the Liukou also has to deal with it, at least to make corresponding arrangements, and it would have been a normal time without an attack, but Liu Shiliang felt strange.

He wondered if the rogues were ready to escape. After all, the rogues were afraid of the Jiangning camp.

It will take three to four days for the other two armies to arrive in Bazhou, and Liu Shiliang believes that he must make preliminary preparations, that is, to detect the accurate situation of the Liukou.

Liukou are mainly located deep in the mountains to the south and east of Bazhou, and there are some dangers in trying to find out the specific situation.

Liu Shiliang was not afraid. Several groups of scouts were immediately dispatched.

The scouts set off overnight and left Bazhou City. Reconnaissance has begun.

On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, two groups of scouts returned to Bazhou City.

The news they brought made Liu Shiliang a little overwhelmed.

The scouts who went to the station to reconnoiter found almost no signs of a large group of rogues, and the mountains were very quiet, and the scouts ventured into places that looked as if they had been stationed in the rogue to investigate. There were even scouts who entered a cottage and found that most of them were empty, and there were not many people in sight, which was completely different from the situation that the commander of Bao Ningwei said, and it was also different from the situation that Liu Shiliang had grasped before.

The place to which Bavaria belongs. Except for Bazhou City, the rest of the places, almost all of them are under the control of the Liukou, you can see the Liukou everywhere, the Liukou and the Jiangning battalion almost do not interfere with each other, except for the small-scale attack, neither side thought of launching an attack, and there is no such plan, when he came to Bazhou from Nanyang, Liu Shiliang was very careful, ready to have a big fight with the Liukou, but he did not see the Liukou, and he entered Bazhou City smoothly.

Now, the news detected by the scouts faintly indicates that the rogues have disappeared, and to put it bluntly, the rogues may have escaped or moved.

After having such a judgment, Liu Shiliang felt that something was wrong.

The Jiangning battalion was almost all dispatched to prepare for a decisive battle with the Liukou, but the Liukou suddenly disappeared.

Liu Shiliang made a big decision.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion who had prepared Lu set out, leaving 5,000 people to garrison Bazhou City.

Liu Shiliang was ready to make a tentative attack to see if the information detected by the scouts was accurate.

The place Liu Shiliang chose was a rogue in the depths of the southern mountains.

The army was accompanied by 1,000 Sergeants of Boryeong.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion acted very quickly, they were facing hundreds of thousands of rogues, this is not a joke, if they were ambushed, no one dared to guarantee victory.

The operation has always been cautious, following the route taken by the scouts.

At noon, the army finally reached the mountains.

Along the way, Liu Shiliang felt more and more that something was wrong.

How can hundreds of thousands of rogues not be able to see any of them, this is not normal, and these places were all controlled by rogues before, so there is no reason to give up easily.

Unable to see the rogue, Liu Shiliang ordered the army and quickened the pace of the march.

In the mountains, it was very quiet, and the sounds of birds and even wild beasts could be heard.

Liu Shiliang finally felt that the big thing was not good, and the rogue might have been transferred.

He decisively ordered the 2,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to attack, enter the depths of the mountain, and if they found anything abnormal, they quickly retreated, and did not fall in love with the battle.

Two hours later, two thousand soldiers came out, and found nothing in the mountains.

In fact, when he heard the sound of birds, Liu Shiliang found that something was wrong, if it was in the mountains, tens of thousands of rogues were stationed, it would not be possible to have so many bird calls, and the birds would have run away a long time ago.

Liu Shiliang ordered the army to hurry up and quickly return to Bazhou City.

In addition, two teams of men were sent to report the situation to the other two groups.

The commander of Bao Ningwei, who followed the action, was originally trembling, thinking that this time he must be dead, but he didn't expect to face such a situation, in fact, their luck is good, there are still 10,000 rogues, stationed in the north, and the south is mainly Luo Rucai is in charge, but unfortunately the 20,000 horses led by Luo Rucai are withdrawn cleanly, of course, no one can be seen.

Back in Bazhou City, it was already dark.

Liu Shiliang didn't have the heart to rest, he looked at the map, kept sitting on it, trying to think about where the Liukou had fled, at this time, the 15,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Mianzhu, Chengdu Prefecture, led by Luo Chang, also rushed to Bazhou City, and this time, the Jiangning battalion soldiers in Bazhou City reached 30,000.

Liu Shiliang didn't have time to greet Luo Chang, the two immediately began to discuss, Luo Chang had already received the news, the Liukou in Bazhou seemed to have disappeared, gone, the two of them surrounded the map, pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision, after dawn, the army went to the mountains in the north to see what the situation was. If the rogues have really retreated, or have fled, they must use the fastest speed to detect the direction of the rogue's escape, and divide a part of the army to pursue.

In the middle of the night, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang did not rest, and they did not have the heart to rest.

Another pale-faced soldier of the Jiangning battalion came in with the token of the commander Hong Chengchou.

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang stood up in shock.

The soldier holds the letter in his hand.

"The commander ordered Liu Shiliang, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Luo Chang, the commander of the forward battalion, to lead all the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to quickly advance in the direction of Kuizhou Fucheng without the slightest delay."

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang quickly read the letter.

There are three chicken feathers pasted on the letter, this is a top-secret letter, except for Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang, the rest of the people can't read it.

After reading the letter in a hurry, the faces of the two changed greatly.

"General Luo, you quickly go and gather all the soldiers, set off overnight, no rest, no noise, we will leave Bazhou City immediately, we must rush to Pyeongchang tonight to meet with Hong Shuai."

"Okay, don't you notify the commander of Bao Ning Wei and ask him to lead Bao Ning as a sergeant and stick to Bazhou."

"I'll be responsible for this matter, 30,000 troops, set off in half an hour, and there will be no delay."

Liu Shiliang is the commander of the Xiaocai battalion, and Luo Chang is the commander of the forward battalion, although the rank of the two is the same, but the ranking of the Xiaocai battalion is in front of the forward battalion, so it is normal for Liu Shiliang to issue an order at this time.

The commander of the Bao Ning Guard, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up.

When he came out, he saw that the army of the Jiangning battalion was already assembled, and he trembled with shock, the Jiangning battalion came to Bazhou, and he finally had a good night's sleep, who knew what had happened to the road.

Hearing Liu Shiliang say that the Jiangning battalion was going to leave Bazhou City overnight, and when Baoningwei was in charge of the security and defense of Bazhou City, the Wei commander showed a bitter gourd face, and he thought that the Jiangning battalion must have reconnoitred important information.

Liu Shiliang warned the commander of Bao Ningwei that he must stick to Bazhou City, no matter who provokes, do not go out of the city to face the battle, and all soldiers must swear to defend Bazhou City.

In the second section, 30,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers left Bazhou City.

The actions of the army will inevitably have an impact, not to mention that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are stationed in Bazhou City, and the small Bazhou City is crowded to the brim, but the people of Bazhou sleep very peacefully, at this time, the 30,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion left suddenly, and they left in the middle of the night, which still caused a sensation in the city, and many people came out to see the excitement.

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang were both pale, and they didn't say a word.

All the officers of the Jiangning battalion did not speak, and from the faces of the two guard commanders, they already knew that the situation was very serious, and they must have seen a major change in Lu, otherwise they would not have acted in the middle of the night.

The speed of the procession was very fast, and after an hour, the city of Bazhou returned to calm, leaving behind the people who were talking. (To be continued......)
