The autumn harvest has passed, and there is a lot of manpower to spare. The abandoned river port on the west side of Xuancheng was renovated, and the first dock was also built on the inner side of the river port; The unfinished city wall of Lishui New Town was originally planned to be made of earth, but now it has been replaced with fired green bricks; reinforcing the dikes of the Urun River and dredging the silted channels; Organize a large number of civilians to reclaim the land west of the Ulun River, and the hills on the east bank of the Qingjiang River are turned into tea gardens and mulberry gardens; Mining iron ore under Qingya Ridge. All kinds of affairs are the responsibilities of the general affairs officer and the subordinate Liucao, Xu Boying has almost no time to stay in the city, and whenever there is an important matter to discuss, he is taken back by fast horse. It turned out that the generals Yun Yi, Yun Yuansheng, Shao Jintang, Shao Xingkong, Ji Huaiyuan, Ji Kailai and others, except for Ji Kailai, Yun Yuansheng and other small people who continued to stay in the army, everyone else became the subordinates of Liucao.

After Shao Ruyan ran to Xuancheng at night, she became silent, and her smart eyes were shrouded in fog, which made people unable to see it really. She still likes to sit under the waterfall and flowing spring, the sunset is like blood, and the autumn wind rises, and the splashes are as clear as jade.

The government office of the Qingyan Army has been moved to Xuancheng on the north bank, and the Yanwutang has also been moved to the north bank. Xu Ruyu liked the scenery of the sunset like blood in the evening, and sorted out a small piece of flat land at the mouth of the river on the north bank, and took twenty or thirty of his men there to try the recruitment.

Shao Ruyan poked her delicate feet into the water, looked at Xu Ruyu's slightly thin figure on the other side, guessing what he was talking about with Liang Bao, who was standing there respectfully, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the smile seemed to be not very clear in the twilight.

The day after Xu Jingcheng left Xuancheng, Zhang Zhongdao returned to Yongyang Mansion with a letter written by Xu Ruyu to Jiang Lingtian and Mei Tierui, and Xu Ruyu hoped that with the support of Jiang Lingtian and Mei Rui, Zhang Zhongdao would serve as the commander of the reserve battalion of Yongyang Mansion, so as to strengthen his control over Yongyang Mansion.

Although the combined forces of the Qingjiang Jiang Bandits and the Twelve Kou Alliances still surpass the Qingyan Army, their demise is a matter of time before in the eyes of the world, and the world is speculating about when Xu Ruyu will choose to make a move.

Puji's army in Fuzhou, in coordination with the frontal attack in the direction of Wenling, uprooted the dock forts on Yueqing's back and abdomen one by one. The power of the Fuzhou Minzhai is still so weak that it cannot form an army, but it is just guarding the Minzhai and preventing the Puji bandits from infiltrating into the northwest of Fuzhou. Occasionally, the army of the people's village that appears in the world's field of vision is rushing to the Liukou cottage. Although in the past 20 years, there have been very few incidents of the village army attacking the cottage, but this kind of mutual damage has been understood by the people of Puji Island as the Fuzhou village has joined Xu Ruyu, and there is material support in the direction of Jinhua, and it is much more courageous. In their eyes, the combat power of the Minzhai army is not worth mentioning.

Xu Ruyu continued to secretly enter Fuzhou with more than 100 people from the Yanwutang, and the 400 soldiers from the Fuzhou Minzhai had been entering the Yanwutang for two months. In the past two months, they have not only practiced in the Yanwutang, but also participated in a series of battles to eliminate the rogues and water bandits, and more than 20 people have been hiding on this side of Taishan forever.

It has been ten days since Xu Jingcheng left Xuancheng, and the news came from Liyang that he had been appointed as the commander of Xin'anyi. Xin'an City originally belonged to Qingjiang Mansion, is the lowest damage in the five cities of Qingjiang City, located in the south of Liyang Mansion, since the Zhu family forces withdrew from Qingjiang Mansion, stationed 2,000 people in Xin'an City, peeping at the south of Xin'an City. The ruined city of Xin'an stood in the middle of a barren wilderness, doubly desolate.

Xu Ruyu turned his head sideways and listened to Liang Bao's report, but did not comment, turned around and continued to try with everyone.

At night, Feng Yuanyuan, who had been detained in the Lishui River Valley for nearly three months, received a summons from Xu Ruyu for the first time.

Since the capture of the Wulun River, Feng Yuanyuan has been detained in Lishui City, and the 1,000 prisoners of war of the Black Warrior Battalion have been sent to the mines in the Wuling Mountains like other prisoners of war.

On the second day of Xu Ruyu's return to the Lishui River Valley, he signed a release order releasing Feng Yuanyuan, but refused his request to see him. Feng Yuanyuan, who had regained his free body, was at a loss. After the defeat in the first battle of the Wulun River, the property and power of the beautiful concubine who were destined to stay in Tiankui Village were taken over by others, and the soldiers of the Black Warrior Battalion, who were the most proud, were now under the Wuling Mountain mine hundreds of miles away. Feng Yuanyuan knew a little about Wei Yu, Wei Yan, Ming Xi, and the rumors of the Qingjiang Cavalry Battalion, which made him feel a little extravagant, so he stayed in Lishui City. Xu Ruyu turned a blind eye to this, and just asked Xu Boying to send him a monthly example to make ends meet.

Xu Ruyu glanced at Feng Yuanyuan, and saw that he could still maintain this calm at this time, and he was very impressed in his heart. Feng Yuanyuan has a short moustache on his upper lip, deep-set eyes, and high cheekbones, and it looks like he has not been at peace in the past three months. The thick palms of the joints are placed flat on the knees, and the fist edge is wrapped in a thick cocoon.

The capture of Tiankui Village can separate the Qingjiang water bandits from the Twelve Kou Alliance, but the capture of Tiankui Village is indispensable for the person in front of him. Xu Ruyu leaned forward, looked directly at Feng Yuanyuan, and said, "General Feng, after these days in Lishui, can you live in peace?" ”

Feng Yuanyuan glanced up at General Qingfeng, who was famous all over the world in the year of the weak crown, and quickly lowered his gaze, trying his best to make his voice sound normal: "How dare you sleep peacefully when you are a sinful body?" ”

"A hundred miles of invasion, thousands of corpses, and the newly built townships around Xuancheng twenty miles were destroyed. Yunyi and Ji Huaiyuan have been asking me for your people. I told them that the Black Warrior Battalion was not involved in the massacre, and that Feng Yuanyuan had no authority to restrain the other rogues. ”

Feng Yuanyuan didn't dare to continue to sit still, and knelt on the ground in fear, bowing his head and knees.

"You sit back. In the past 11 years, you have attacked Xin'an City 19 times, broken it four times, burned Xin'an City 4 times, entered Liyang 11 times, and entered Wuzhou 16 times. Zhu Lianzhi wants to exchange ten winged ships and a hundred war horses for your head, which makes me feel excited. ”

Feng Yuanyuan's face showed a painful expression, his eyes no longer had the initial calmness, he looked slightly messy, he wanted to speak and stopped, sighed, and said dejectedly: "Long-distance extravagance, how can the Qingyan Army tolerate a person like me?" ”

Feng Yuanyuan and his battalion of black warriors have been looting in Yue County for the past eleven years, becoming the most stubborn of the Qingjiang Clans, and the most powerful one. Xu Ruyu had the intention to use it, but the impact was huge, and he has been hesitating so far. Everyone in the Blue Flame Army also has their own opinions on this. Feng Yuanyuan governed the army strictly, did not kill women and children, and if the young man resisted slightly, his subordinates would not tolerate it. In July, the rogue invaded the north shore, and most of the thousands of corpses were young and strong, even if it was not the black warrior battalion's doing, I am afraid that there was a fault of his connivance. The captives are remembered, and they are raised in the cottage for the sergeants. Whether to use it or not, Xu Ruyu is difficult to decide. Feng Yuanyuan's face was defeated at this time, and the initial excitement was completely dispersed. The Yuejun family hates me to the core, and if General Qingfeng wants to rise in Qingjiang, he will not ignore the pressure of the Zhu and Fan families, at least for now, he can't turn a blind eye.

Feng Yuanyuan stood up in panic and wanted to retire.

Xu Ruyu asked: "The Zhu family counted your eight sins and asked me to hand them over, but there is no mention of your abduction of women as a record in the text, can you explain one or two?" ”

Feng Yuanyuan smiled strangely, a little cold and desolate, and said: "Zhu Tongshan's sibling sister was remembered in Tiankui Village, although this girl was stabbed to death by the Zhu family later, but this incident is the biggest shame of the Zhu family?" ”

Xu Ruyu gasped.

Feng Yuanyuan's voice was particularly poignant: "Twenty-nine years ago, my mother and I fled to Xin'an City to avoid war, when Zhu Lianzhi led the army to garrison Xin'an City, seeing that my mother and I were weak and powerless, and had no value in keeping up as slaves, they actually used me and my mother as live targets and shot us with arrows. God had mercy on me, and I was shot through my chest, but I didn't die. From then on, I vowed to be a nightmare for the Zhu family and even the Yuejun family. Feng Yuanyuan ripped off his clothes and asked Xu Ruyu to look at the scars the size of copper coins left on his chest and back, "Forming a village is a coward, burning and killing silver plunders can nourish combat power, women were originally an incurable crime in the old army, how can I restrain it." I only have to take the wives and daughters of the Zhu family to act as camp records to prevent them from harassing the women. ”

Xu Ru was silent, and Zangxing's eyes stared at Feng Yuanyuan's eyes that seemed a little crazy, it was the person in front of him, every time he calmly invaded the territory of the Zhu family in Yuejun, he would cause the Zhu family to suffer huge humiliation and heavy losses every time.

The Zhu family only accepted Xu Jingcheng smoothly and solved Xuancheng's predicament for Xu Ruyu, which meant to show goodwill. Or Feng Yuanyuan with his battalion of black warriors.

Regarding the Zhu family's request, Xu Ruyu's attitude was quite clear: "The captives captured by the Qingyan Army must be sentenced to pardon under the jurisdiction of the Qingyan Army. ”

In order to break the fighting spirit of the cottage rogue, Xu Ruyu signed a pardon order on the second day after returning to the Lishui River Valley, and lifted Feng Yuanyuan's detention, and naturally he would not regret it at this time.

Feng retired remotely. Xu Ruyu hadn't come back to his senses yet, and didn't answer him. Feng Yuanyuan leaned and was about to exit the hall, but he heard Xu Ruyu call him: "Captain Zuo has wronged you when he heard about the military?" ”

Feng Yuanyuan was stunned there, Orr woke up and knelt on the ground: "Lord ......"

The next day, Feng Yuanyuan, accompanied by Meng Yi and carrying Xu Ruyu's warrant, secretly selected 100 cronies from the prisoner of war camp in Qingyaling and returned to Xuancheng.

On October 20, Xu Ruyu, Feng Yuanyuan, Liang Bao, and Wei Yan led the Qingjiang cavalry battalion and a hundred black warrior battalions to Beiling Fort. At this time, the first and third battalions of the Suwei Battalion and the first battalion of the Xuancheng Light Armor Infantry Battalion were gathered in Beilingbao, and the second battalion of the Suwei Battalion was stationed in Ulenburg, forty miles away. At the Qingjiang Simple Port, three miles east of Beiling Fort, there were four sentinel water battalion warships (the second battalion of the Qingjiang water battalion and the first outpost of the first battalion).

In the early morning of October 23, to everyone's surprise, Xu Ruyu led 500 elites (400 Qingjiang cavalry battalions and 100 black warrior battalion prisoners of war) to avoid the Tiankui village in front of Beiling Fort, and attacked a small village forty miles to the east, and wedged into the forces of the 12 Kou League.

The Zhujia Zhaizi to which the Twelve Kou Alliance forces belong is almost in a straight line across the hills north of the Lishui River Valley, and it is secretly said that the village belongs to the second-rate forces in the Twelve Kou League, and is located at the center point of the Twelve Kou League's forces, forty miles northeast of Beiling Fort. Feng Yuanyuan was extremely familiar with the geography of the Dark Village, and the five hundred elites avoided the cordon of the Twelve Kou Alliances and infiltrated the sphere of influence of the Dark Village in the middle of the night on the 22nd. At the moment when the sky was slightly revealed, the five hundred elites who had already solved the outposts rushed into the dark village. Two hundred elite men surrounded the main barracks of the rogues, sealed the doors with bows and arrows, and set fire to the barracks. Three hundred elites on the periphery stopped the other rogues from approaching.

Feng Yuanyuan's timing was extremely appropriate, at the light of day, there were only 200 rogues on night duty in the village, and the other 600 people were sleeping in the main barracks. The stone barracks didn't need to cause a fire, but the smoke and sudden panic caused the 600 rogues to rush out, but they were ruthlessly blocked by bows and arrows and sharp blades, and the corpses piled up, blocking the narrow camp gate, making it impossible for more rogues to rush through.

When Wei Yan led the men to defeat the outlying rogues and returned to the barracks, the remaining 300 rogues trapped in the barracks threw their weapons out of the window.

The reinforcements of the Twelve Kou Alliances rushed to the front of the Dark Village, but it was a rain of arrows.

Before attacking the dark village, the world speculated that Xu Ruyu would first solve the Qingjiang bandits, clear the obstacles on the Qingjiang River, and then slowly gnaw down the Twelve Kou League. There are many reasons for this speculation, and in the past two months, the Qingjiang Water Battalion has made frequent attacks, and everyone thinks that this is in preparation for a big battle. Beiling Fort and the hoarding near Beiling Fort are almost half of the strength of the Blue Flame Army. Tiankui Village is close to the Qingjiang River, nine miles north of Beiling Fort, although the Twelve Kou League has not finally decided the ownership of Tiankui Village after the defeat in Feng Yuanyuan, but they have sent troops to strengthen the defense of Tiankui Village, and Tiankui Village is also the hub of the Twelve Kou League's contact with the three water bandits on the Qingjiang River. In the hearts of the Twelve Kou Alliance, the idea of fighting for Tiankui Village has long been prepared.

After the autumn harvest, more than 1.3 million quintals of grain were obtained on the south bank alone. The temporary blockade of the Qingjiang waterway is no longer an obstacle, and it directly wedges into the forces of the Twelve Kou League, and then from the outer edge of Tiankui Village, the water camp warship forcibly cuts off the connection between the Qingjiang water bandits and the Twelve Kou League, so that the forces of the Twelve Kou League east of the village to the bank of the Qingjiang River can no longer be as close as before.

On the 26th, the first and third battalions of the Suwei Battalion, under the leadership of Liang Bao, returned to the back of the Twelve Kou Leagues through the secret village, and cleared the cottage Liukou one by one to the northeast.

The Qingyan Army's defense on the line from Beilingbao to Ulenburg was only the second battalion of the Xuancheng Light Armored Infantry Battalion and 2,000 reserve soldiers. One thousand Baiyi elites, led by Ziyang Yalan, were stationed on the half-mountain twenty miles north of Xuancheng.

In the past, it was said that the obscure Dark Village was extremely important at this time. The Blue Flame Army continued to send supplies to the 6,000 Blue Flame Army generals who had returned to the northern belly of the Twelve Crown Alliance's forces through secret words, causing the 6,000 Blue Flame Army to gradually encroach on the power of the Twelve Kou Alliances in the southern region of Qingjiangyi.

The largest forces of the Twelve Korits were concentrated in the area west of the Shadows, and after Feng Yuanyuan's defeat on the banks of the Ulun River, no one in the Twelve Korits dared to easily infiltrate the north bank. If they sit and watch the cottages west of the Dark Village being devoured by the Qingyan one by one, and let the people of Qingjiangyi and the Qingyan Army in the Lishui River Valley be connected, then they will be trapped between the Dark Village and the Qingjiang River. The supplies in the cottages lasted until the next year. But what about after the coming year?

On November 3, the 12 Kou Alliance forces west of the Dark Village entangled 5,000 rogue Kou to besiege the Dark Village, hoping to recapture the Dark Village. Secretly, there were only six hundred soldiers from the second battalion of the Xuancheng Light Armor Infantry Battalion who had changed their guards, and two hundred soldiers from the Black Martial Arts Battalion sent from Qingyaling.
