Chapter Ninety-Six: Slowly Retreating (Happy New Year's Day)
Outside the west gate of Shenchi County, a huge contingent of imperial court officers and soldiers slowly assembled, connected from end to end for no less than a few miles, saw its army, hung the "tiger" and "high" banners, and the leader was the Shanxi branch guard general Hu Dawei, Shanxi Dusi head guard station thousand households Gao Shilian two people, of which Hu Dawei has more than 1,200 soldiers, Gao Shilian has more than 700 soldiers.

The two armies were combined, and along the way, there were more than 500 officers and soldiers belonging to the Octagon Thousand Households, more than 400 people from the Thousand Households of the Old Camp Fort, and more than 3,000 people in the combined army.
To know that Chun County was lost, the neighboring Yuanping County was the first to know, and immediately sent people to Taiyuan Mansion to send a letter, as soon as the news was transmitted to the provincial capital, it caused Shanxi to shake up and down, and Shanxi was angry.
You must know that in the past, the Yamen of Shanxi Prefecture was stationed in Ningwu, and now even the station has been lost, isn't it a joke, not to mention this matter, it can't be covered up at all, if it is not recaptured quickly, I am afraid that the court will blame it, and no one in Shanxi officialdom can think of being spared, where do not dare to march quickly.
It's a pity that at this moment, the Shanxi capital division can't send troops, and the limited troops in their hands are either scattered in the south of Jin to pursue the Liukou, or scattered on the east bank of the Yellow River, to prevent the Shaanxi Liukou from entering the Jin, the huge Taiyuan Mansion, only the Taiyuan central guard is defending, and the defense of the city is still insufficient, where can the city go out of the field battle.
The general army of Shanxi couldn't, so he had to hurry up and ask for help from Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, you must know that Xuanda and three towns are all within its jurisdiction, he doesn't care, who cares.
After Zhang Zongheng received a letter from the Shanxi General Army asking for help, he looked helpless, Shanxi's mess, calling his own family to clean up, has long been a mess, how to think that the smoke of Daizhou in Jinzhong is rising again, it is really a lack of skills, but there is no choice but to be in Daizhou, it is Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi three important places, must be guarded against.
Fortunately, Datong had been sent to guard the generals to lead the troops south, and now he called an official letter to solve the civil unrest in Chunxian County by the way, and sent Hu Dawei, the general of Shanxi who was still chasing the peasant army on the east bank of the Yellow River, to immediately march eastward to suppress the civil rebellion in Daizhou first.
In this context, Hu Dawei for the temporary suppression of the generals, led the West Road bandit army to quickly march eastward, when the army entered the Shenchi, actually found the traces of the homeless, really made Hu Dawei suspicious, Ning Wuwei soldiers and horses? How did you make the homeless flee to the Divine Pool?
In this way, he did not dare to advance lightly, so he only sent scouts to enter the city first, and waited for half a ring before he saw the scouts come to report, "General, the thieves have retreated, and there are no thieves in the city." ”
"Oh? Have you ever found out? On the one hand, Hu Dawei sent people around the city to pursue the fleeing homeless people first, and on the other hand, he beckoned his headquarters to enter the city first, and did not forget to ask the scouts carefully, "Are there any living people in the city?" ”
The scout replied truthfully, "Returning to the general, the gates of the big houses in the city are open, and the houses are empty, but there are still some small people hiding in their houses, telling me to wait and catch them one by one, and they all say that the thieves have escaped for about an hour." ”
"Why don't the general enter the city first and rest his legs, this day is too poisonous, why bother to suffer his own brothers," the neighboring thousands of households did not do it, the hot day, full armor, hot panic, seeing Hu Dawei's endless inquiries, I don't know when it will be a head, and quickly opened his mouth to urge.
Hu Dawei didn't care, looked up at the city, and directly hit the horse into the city, but when he entered the city, he inevitably frowned, only to see that the streets were full of sundries and garbage, and all kinds of household utensils were scattered all over the place.
It was really coerced, otherwise many residents in the city were really unwilling to follow Li Jing, but the situation was stronger than people, and under the threat of swords, they had to follow, and now seeing the imperial army entering the city, those who survived suddenly came out to cry about the cruelty of the thieves.
You must know that he now has a quota of more than 1,000 under his command, thanks to the local battles in his hometown, there is no shortage of grain and grass, but no one is too much silver, I heard that Li Jing thief army has hundreds of carts of goods and goods, where can he not be moved, and carefully asked Li Jing the number of soldiers and horses, but the small people in the city, where do they have this insight, some say tens of thousands, and some directly say hundreds of thousands, which makes Hu Dawei have a headache.
But after rummaging through the whole city, I didn't find a big family, I heard that Li Jing slaughtered the clan, Hu Dawei was angry, and he hated Li Jing directly, and wanted to raise troops to chase after him, but it was a pity that those soldiers of the Thousand Households Guard, after walking for a day, they were already exhausted, where was they willing to follow, Hu Dawei couldn't, so he had to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to pursue first.
In his opinion, whether it is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, there is water, it is impossible for all the neighboring states and counties to be thieves, according to calculations, it is nothing more than more than more than 10,000 thieves, and the elite under their own command can completely disperse the thieves in just a while, nothing more than going up to chop melons and vegetables.
In this way, Hu Dawei led more than 1,200 people from his headquarters to the east at a rapid pace and pursued Li Jing.
It's just that he went, Shenchi County suffered, the county was not big, and Li Jing was asked to loot once, and there were no three out of ten for a long time, and now the regular official army is out of the city, where are these military households and soldiers not completely herding sheep, one by one seized the opportunity, and went to the people's homes, just see what to take.
Those who dared to resist in the slightest, those better soldiers were quite kind, but they just grabbed things and kicked away the households that came up to fight with their legs, just so that they didn't disturb their own looting, and there were also those who were ruthless, and they directly slashed to death, and in the end, they didn't forget to cut off their heads after robbing things, and sent them directly to Shangguan, and directly used them as bandits.
On the last day of 2015, happy New Year's Day, I sincerely wish everyone a bright new year in the new year, all wishes come true, a safe year, and a happy family, thank you!
The general got the benefit again, there were many subordinates who plundered, shared one or two, and could also add a few levels of heads, which was counted as military merit, where to be angry, but quite appreciated, and when his subordinates saw it, they immediately learned to follow the same example, and each learned to kill the good and take the lead, and it was called a human tragedy in Shenchi County.
Originally, these military households didn't dare to do too much, after all, it was a county seat, but the big officials in the city called the thieves to kill all the soldiers, leaving only the bitter family with a little spare money.
At present, the looting in Shenchi County is not mentioned, but it is said that Hu Dawei led the elite soldiers and horses out of the city to pursue, and the cavalry who took the lead chased for a while, and saw the two carts of property deliberately dropped by Li Jing on the side of the road, and immediately messed up the formation.
Seeing that the wealth was moving, those cavalry chased harder, only to chase for a while, Li Jing repeated his old tricks, and dumped the goods on both sides of the official road, this group of cavalry dismounted and plundered, and they couldn't put it in their pockets, and they were directly placed on the horses.
They came up together to plunder, but they just had a few more portions of their own homes, so they stopped and stopped all the way, and staged a farce from time to time, and not far in front of them was Li Jing's soldiers and horses, leaving a few carts of goods and goods from time to time, blocking the officers and soldiers for a while.
There were scouts who were lying in ambush on the left and right of the official army, and when they found out about this situation, they came back again, Li Jing just ordered him to bury his head and leave quickly, while sending people to invite the other two battalions to join his own house......
