On the official road leading to Dingxiang from Wutai, the sound of horses trampling sounded with hooves, and a sturdy man looked nervous, looking behind him from time to time, worrying about something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This person was originally the staff of the new Daizhou Governor Tian Jingru, but a local person, who fled the war and temporarily settled in Beizhili, and later heard that the imperial court had appeased Li Jing, a traitor, and sent officials to take office.

The most critical point is that since Taiyuan Mansion has returned to the rule of the imperial court, then it is certain that he will open a department to take the exam, which is a great opportunity, because most of the scholars in Daizhou are either rebellious or killed.

To put it mildly, Yang Yinong has tried and failed repeatedly, this time he is taller among the short, at least he has to have a place to lift people, he can move his family to Beizhili to avoid trouble, it proves that he is a person, decisive and resolute, as the saying goes, wealth and danger are sought, he has a heart.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Daizhou, he was treated as a guest by the Daizhou officialdom with a little trick, don't look at which pro-people officials, either Jinshi or Juren, but he treated a rare local talent differently, Yang Yinong didn't even spend much effort, he became a staff member of Zhizhou, this life is decent and can support his family, and he is close to the official, just waiting for the exam.

This person is fateful, in the eyes of others the extremely vicious Daizhou, in his eyes is the road to heaven that is the step of the body, but Daizhou has not been at peace these days, the soldiers of the begging army in the city are under martial law back and forth, I don't know what to do, fortunately, Yang Yinong also went out of the city with the ability to meet the source left and right, and went to the east of the city to gather with friends.

After drinking some wine, thinking that there would be official business to do tomorrow, I thought about going back to the city early to stay, that friend was also relocated back after the imperial court appeased Li Jing, and he was reluctant to inherit the inheritance of his ancestors.

When he heard that he was leaving, he could not hold back, and lent him a mule and horse to walk, and he staggered all the way towards the city, but after walking only five or six miles, he heard the dull and rhythmic footsteps in front of him, and he thought that he was drunk and had auditory hallucinations, but the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he was completely awakened, and the drunken spirit was gone.

Suddenly I got up the hill and took a look! gasped, good fellow, on the official road on the other side of the mountain road, the men and horses of the brigade were neatly arranged, and they were heading south, thanks to the rules and regulations of the beggar army, he could distinguish the name of his battalion from the banner, which was clearly the battalion stationed in the middle of Dai County and Fanzhi.

Thinking of the martial law in the city in the past few days, and the abnormal movement of an entire battalion of the beggar army, he was even more worried, this is clearly a ghost! So he reflexively walked to the east, took a shortcut to Wutai County, and after a short stop, he found that the beggar army garrison stationed here had also transferred west and did not know where to go.

This is clearly the movement when the war came, Yang Yinong, who had experienced Li Jing's cholera in Taiyuan Mansion in the past, knew that the matter had reached the point of no control, so he stepped up to the south and tried to report the news, but his behavior in Wutai had already been reported by those peasants, and was known by the Shen Cewei who monitored the place, and directly sent people to arrest him.

Fortunately, Yang Yinong had horses, and the soldiers who begged for the military god to guard lacked foot strength, so he pounced for a while, telling him to run all the way south, but when he reached the territory of Dingxiang, the mules and horses were tired, so he could only dismount and stay worried.

"Is that the man?" In the interval when he was resting, in the dense forest no more than 100 meters away from him, three soldiers wearing begging military uniforms appeared, two of them were holding new-style short guns, and one of them was holding a note from a flying pigeon, all of them were hanging waist knives, squatting in the dense forest and looking outside.

The soldier with the note in his hand looked at it again and again, well, Wutai came to Dingxiang, and Ma, who was about thirty years old, all right, so he nodded and said, "I guess so." ”

"Hmph, the dog official of the imperial court, he still wants to report the news," the leader scolded and scolded, "Little dog, you go from this side, touch his back and block his retreat, pillar, you take a short hammer and touch me to the closest place to him, if this dog dares to get on the horse and run, you will hit him directly." ”

"Okay." After a while, the leader of the soldiers gave the order, and the other two hurriedly touched it carefully in the dense forest, and only waited for one of the soldiers to be intercepted after the break was in place, and the leader of the soldiers gave the pillar a look, and then the two of them rushed out of the dense forest together.

"Stop! Don't move! As soon as their figures appeared on the official road, they were seen by Yang Yinong, and their hearts were about to be bad, so they quickly got up and went to untie the ropes of the mules and horses, but in a hurry, they didn't untie it for a while, and they saw a person coming out not far behind them, holding an unknown weapon and rushing towards him, and suddenly he didn't care about taking the horse, so he turned his head and ran into the dense forest.

"Bang~"

"Ah~"

With a loud bang and a shout, Yang Yinong only felt that his thigh was bitten violently, a stumbling, and he threw himself directly on the ground, and at a glance, blood was flowing on his thighs, and after only a while, his trouser legs were soaked, and the huge pain made him unbearable, and let out a howl of "ah~" and "ah~".

"Try one more run~" The chasing soldiers behind came up and looked around him, one of them blew a short gun, raised his mouth disdainfully, and a soldier came up behind, "Okay, it's good if you don't kill him, dog, you go and lead the horse and take him, let's go back and report." ”

……

"My lord, such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, the imperial court must have heard of it!"

At the same time, a large military formation was neatly marching through the official road of Ninghua Institute to Lan County, where the army was located, Ning You, who took over the deputy commander of the teaching brigade, had been following Li Jing's left and right, looking at the black oppressive head, marching in a muffled voice, although he was satisfied on the face, but he still mentioned a word of worry in his heart.

When Li Jing heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile, "I have the second guard of Tiance Shence, and the imperial court is in the land of Taiyuan Mansion, which is the blind and deaf, and no matter what the news is, it can't be transmitted!" ”

On the day of the decision to send troops, a message from a flying pigeon was sent to any battalion in the whole army, but all the cities in charge of the imperial court officials were under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Even if there are a few lucky ones who know, they can't pass it on, and the two guards who monitor local and military affairs are all out of force, patrolling in various mountain and wild roads and villages, and just arresting suspicious people when they see them.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to pass through his defense area to reach the territory of the imperial court, so Li Jing is not worried that the news of his dispatch of troops will be known by the imperial court in advance, as for the aftermath, who cares, he sent troops to fight the bandits entrenched in the border area of Qin and Jin, and at that time, he will just cut off the heads of a few thieves and hand them over, who can find fault with himself?

If this battle is won, half of the main forces of the imperial court on the three sides are gone, and it is too late for the garrison to be empty, so do you dare to ask yourself for the guilt? Aren't you really afraid that Qin Jin will change color at that time, and the country will be unstable?!

"By the way, where is Li Mao's army?" Li Jing's greatest concern at the moment was the movement of the Fourth Brigade, which was reinforced by 1,200 cavalry, and the Fourth Brigade had two battalions and one of the troops and horses dispatched in advance, both of which numbered nearly 6,000 men.

The main force led by himself, the Chinese army, also passed through Lanxian and arrived in Linxian, and then the Fourth Brigade stationed there also began to cross the Yellow River westward and enter Shaanxi.

Huang Sihua followed by his side, and had temporarily assumed the role of the senator of the army, and hurriedly said at this moment, "Back to the lord, the whole army of General Li's Fourth Brigade will go out of Wubao, bypass Suide on November 2, conquer Xinshan, cross the river at the mouth of the Yellow River and march westward, it is estimated that Huaining is rushing south, if it is safe, tonight, you can reach the rear of the official army!" ”

"What about Tan Wu?"

"General Tan took the 15th Battalion in front, the 5th Battalion on the right, and the 35th Battalion in the rear, and the rear army passed Mopan Mountain and went south through Linxian County."

Li Jing looked at the simple drawings marked with the approximate place name in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "The herald orders Tan Wu no longer need to go west through Suidezhou City, immediately turn around to get rice fat, protect the flank of the army, and then send the fifth battalion south to join the main force of the army through the Wuding River." ”

Huang Sihua quickly wrote the book, and then nodded to Li Jing, before taking the big seal from the clerk on the side and stamping it, which was still Li Jing's capital governor seal in the past, not the seal of the deputy chief soldier of Ningwu in the imperial court.

The battlefield situation at this moment is that Li Mao led three battalions and one after another, with more than 1,200 cavalry that came from the emergency reinforcement, and counted more than 6,000 people at the forefront, who had already crossed the Yellow River, and the distance between him and the official army was only fifty or sixty miles.

Tan Wu of the second brigade led the three battalions of the Fifth Brigade and the remaining battalion of the fourth brigade to both of them were leaving the Shanxi border and began to enter Shaanxi one after another.

The four dissatisfied battalions of the Guards Brigade led by Li Jing, with 1,300 elite members of the Teaching Brigade, and an elite main battalion of Zhao Mosheng, who was temporarily strengthened, were about 7,500 men and horses were about to arrive at the junction of the two provinces.

As a partial division, Guo Sheng's department sent a battalion of regular soldiers south to assist in the defense of Yongning Prefecture, and sent a battalion and an elite of the capital to attack Yulin, restraining the soldiers and horses of the official army Yulinwei, and preventing them from going south to reinforce the decisive battlefield. It's bound to be a battle! (To be continued.) )
