Since Huangfu Wujin discovered the existence of the White-clothed Army, he has not given up his efforts to integrate this army, and a large number of Meihuawei sergeants have been incorporated by the White-clothed Army as exiles, and have been assigned to various granges, and some have also held important command positions, and a part of the white-clothed army captured by the capture of Baisha Island has brought him great help.

Wu Jun, a famous general in the White Army, surrendered to him, and afterwards, Wu Jun was ordered to return to the White Army and served as a partial general in the White Army.

At the same time when Huangfu Wujin inspected the Huai River, Wu Jun sent someone to send information that the white-clothed army had received an order from Uncle Shen Guo to gather in Lujiang County and prepare to withdraw west to Shuzhou.

For Huangfu Wujin, the white-clothed army is a fish he kept in the pond, and now the fish jumps over the pond and escapes, that is the time for him to close the net, he mobilized a total of 15 troops from three roads, from Xuancheng County, Liyang County and Shouchun County, surrounded the white-clothed army, and sent Jiangning Prefecture Captain Liu Jian to lead an army of 30,000, and quickly marched around the west of Lujiang County, intercepted the westward march of the white-clothed army, and completely surrounded the 80,000-white-clothed army in Lujiang County.

Hefei County, Lujiang County, this is the seat of Lujiang County, and it is also the command center and gathering place of the white-clothed army, the command center of the white-clothed army has always been the biggest secret that Huangfu Wujin is looking for, but he has never found it, because he never dreamed that the command center of the white-clothed army turned out to be the county government of Lujiang County, and the supreme commander of the white-clothed army is Shi He Ruomei, the magistrate of Lujiang County.

He Ruomei is the fourth place in the nineteenth year of Zhenye, and he is also Su Xun's protégé, he is not smooth in the officialdom, after embarking on the career of the fifth year, some of his fellow Jinshi have done the history of the county magistrate, but he is still a small county master, when he attended a relative's wedding by chance, he met a more distant relative, Shao Jingwen, the general of the embroidered guard, he was drunk and confided in Shao Jingwen about the unfairness he had encountered, and Shao Jingwen introduced him to Uncle Shen.

Soon, he was promoted to the county magistrate of Xuancheng County, and three years ago he served as the magistrate of Lujiang County, and Lujiang County Assassin Shi was on long-term sick leave, Lujiang County was actually presided over by He Ruomei, and the county Sima was also Uncle Shen's person, when Uncle Shen carefully selected the person in charge of the White Army, he took a fancy to He Ruomei, and he became the head of the White Army as a civilian official.

He Ruomei did not live up to Uncle Shen's expectations, in the three years he presided over the White Army, the number of the White Army increased from 30,000 to 80,000, and it did not cost Uncle Shen much money to grow grain and raise pigs.

What's more, he controlled the white-clothed army extremely secretly, and it was not known by the imperial court from beginning to end, only the prince had some guesses, but there was no evidence, but the wise man must have a mistake, He Ruomei never dreamed that the cooperation between Uncle Shen and Baisha finally exposed the secrets of the white-clothed army, so that Huangfu Wujin not only knew the existence of the white-clothed army, but also knew the distribution and strength of the white-clothed army.

In the conference room of the Lujiang County Ya, He Ruomei was convening a meeting of the main generals of the white-clothed army, 80,000 white-clothed troops were distributed in 25 granges, with an average of 3,000 people in each grange, and each grange had a general who was a captain, and every three granges had a partial general, a total of eight partial generals, and He Ruomei only contacted the partial generals.

Beside He Ruomei sat a burly general, this person is called Sima Fang, is Shen Ji's henchman beloved general, Shen Ji was named the generalissimo of the expedition to the east, Sima Fang was also appointed as the general of the left guard, this time he was ordered by Shen Ji to lead the white-clothed army to return to the west, Sima Fang's face was gloomy, and he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, only six of the eight partial generals came, that is, there were still 20,000 troops who had not arrived, he had been waiting in Hefei County for three days, and still did not arrive, which made him extremely angry in his heart, this kind of garbage army, what is the point of bringing it back?

He Ruomei felt the tense atmosphere in the room, he glanced at Sima Fang, and smiled at the five partial generals: "That's it! Let General Sima tell you about the situation in Yongjing. ”

He Ruomei wanted to alleviate the dissatisfaction in Sima Fang's heart, he knew that the last 20,000 people came from Tong'an County, and the road was difficult, so it would not be so fast.

Sima Fang understood He Ruomei's intentions, so he restrained the anger in his heart and said to everyone: "Shen Xiangguo has personally led 100,000 troops to Shuzhou to collect 150,000 Shu troops, so that our army will reach 450,000, and if we add 80,000 white-clothed troops, our strength will be able to surpass the Luojing puppet emperor." ”

"But... 500,000 troops, how to feed them? He Ruomei frowned.

"It's a big problem!"

Speaking of logistical supplies, Sima Fang sighed and said: "Now Yongjing still has some grain stock, which can last for about three months, but what should I do after three months?" The purpose of Shen Xiangguo going to Shuzhou in person was to get the grain of Shuzhou, but it was not enough, the granary and treasury of the Ning Dynasty were in Chuzhou, and they were occupied by Huangfu Wujin, I estimate that the Luojing puppet emperor also has the same problem, unless everyone takes the initiative to reduce the troops, otherwise whoever has the grain will have the last laugh. ”

"Isn't Huangfu Wujin loyal to Luo Jing?" One general raised his own questions.

But his question was laughed at by everyone in the room, and a general next to him put his arm around his shoulders and smiled: "Brother, do you say that a tiger will give food to another tiger?" Stop talking stupid. ”

He Ruomei saw that the partial general Wu Jun had not said anything, so she asked him with a smile: "General Wu, what do you think?" ”

Wu Jun shook his head and said: "Gao Jian can't talk about it, I feel that within a month, there will be a battle between Yongjing and Luojing." ”

Sima Fang was very interested in this insight, so he asked him with a smile, "This General Wu, please tell me, how will the war break out?" ”

"As General Sima said, the competition for grain will be the root cause of the outbreak of the two armies, Luojing wants to occupy Jingzhou, Yongjing will occupy Shuzhong, and the Xiliang army will send troops to Longyou, but there is also a grain production area that everyone seems to forget, that is, Jinzhou, Jinzhou is in the north of Luojing, in Yongjingdong, where there are not many troops, but rich in grain, I think the two capitals broke out in a month for the battle for Jinzhou."

Wu Jun's analysis made Sima Fang greatly admired: "General Wu is really extraordinary, and I won't hide it from you, Generalissimo Shen is ready to send 30,000 troops into Hedong County, and he really intends to occupy Jinzhou." ”

He Ruomei also smiled: "General Wu was originally a famous general in the Chuzhou Mansion, and he was dismissed for offending the powerful, and he is a knowledgeable person in our white-clothed army. ”

The generals of the white-clothed army are all selected from the township soldiers, and their ability and knowledge are very low, which has always made Sima Fang look down on him, he knows very well that once the army is brought into Shuzhou, he will immediately change generals, but this General Wu's knowledge is really good, which impresses him, and he heard that he is a famous general of the Chuzhou Mansion, which makes Sima Fang have a heart of love for talent.

He nodded, and said to everyone: "Now there are 60,000 white-clothed troops concentrated in Hefei County, I am sure that Huangfu Wujin has received the news, he must be preparing to destroy us, so we can't stay in Hefei County for a long time, I suggest that we go west immediately!" ”

He Ruomei was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "But there are still 20,000 troops who have not arrived, what should they do?" ”

"He Changshi, I want to remind you, the soldiers are fast, Huangfu Wujin is a person who is good at sneak attacks, we started to transfer troops seven days ago, that is to say, he knew the secret of the white-clothed army at least five days ago, these five days, if he uses his troops quickly, his army is likely to be approaching Lujiang County, He Changshi, do you think we need to wait any longer?"

"This ....."

He Ruomei was really embarrassed, the 80,000 white-clothed troops were recruited and raised by him with all his efforts, he had a deep affection for this army, and it was difficult for him to accept it if he wanted him to leave the 20,000 troops alone, and the 20,000 troops had no news at all, and they did not inform themselves at all where they were now, so that he had no right to speak.

At this time, Wu Jun stood up and said: "I completely agree with General Sima's opinion, I suspect that the 20,000 troops have been intercepted and surrounded by the soldiers of Chuzhou, so they have no news, and Luojing's army will also go south to take Jingzhou, if they gain a foothold in Jingzhou, our road to the west will be cut off, and the consequences will be unimaginable, if we don't go, we will be too late." ”

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Sima Fang applauded, and he once again praised sincerely: "General Wu can always see the problem more deeply, worthy of being from the Chuzhou Military Government, now I officially appoint General Wu as my deputy general, no need to wait for 20,000 troops, let's set off immediately!" ”

．．．．．．．．．． In the afternoon of that day, in 50 places east of Lujiang County, a white-clothed army composed of 20,000 people was marching in the narrow hilly and mountainous roads, stretching for more than ten miles, and this army was the last 20,000 white-clothed troops who rushed to Hefei County with Anjun.

These white-clothed soldiers were basically from the Jianghuai area, fled to Chuzhou, and were collected by He Ruomei by various means, and gradually formed the private army of Uncle Shen.

However, the equipment of this private army is not good, there is no armor, they are uniformly dressed in white robes, and there are only 300 war horses for 20,000 people, which is very irregular, similar to the township soldiers in various counties, which is related to the lack of funds, and the training level of the white-clothed army is really not good, they have only marched more than 200 miles, and most of them are already so tired that they are about to collapse.

"Big brother, let's find a place to rest! The brothers were tired. ”

The two generals who led 20,000 white-clothed generals were a pair of brothers, a Zhang Xiaolong, and a Zhang Xiaohu, both of whom were five big and three thick, quite brave, they were the local heroes of Tong'an County, the first in Changsha County Mixed Dart Bureau, practiced a martial arts, and later returned to their hometowns as captains in the township soldiers, and were persuaded by He Ruomei two years ago, both of them served as the white-clothed generals of Tong'an County at the same time, and each commanded nearly 10,000 people.

Zhang Xiaolong had a short temper, he saw that the soldiers were really tired, sweating profusely, sticking out their tongues and panting, he couldn't help but scold hatefully: "Damn, they have to march to Shuzhou, can they hold on like dogs?" ”

"Shh Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly raised his fingers and sighed, and whispered: "Big brother, don't let them know that you are going to Shuzhou." ”
