Li Rupei led 2,000 soldiers to attack Bazhou Prefecture, Gao Chibang led 2,000 soldiers to attack Pengzhou Prefecture, Song Hu stayed in the military camp, Wuling County and Qingyuan County related matters, because Chenghui was in charge.

All the arrangements were made, and it was Huang Biao and Yan Fu and others who followed Li Rupei on the expedition, and Zhao Laibao followed Gao Chibang to attack Pengzhou.

After the order was issued, Li Rupei put forward a specific request, within two days, the army must arrive outside the city of Bazhou, and the battle to attack the city of Bazhou should not take more than two days.

The scouts have long figured out that there are 1,500 foreign troops and 500 foreign soldiers stationed in Bazhou, of which the foreign army is stationed outside the city of Bazhou, the military camp is ten miles away from the state capital, and the foreign town soldiers are stationed in a village and town fifty miles away from the state capital, that is to say, what the iron-blooded army actually needs to face is mainly the foreign army stationed in Bazhou.

It is said that to deal with the foreign army and the soldiers of other towns, the iron-blooded army does not need to dispatch so many troops, but after Li Rupei discussed with Gao Chibang and others, he thought that this was a good opportunity to train the iron-blooded army, after all, most of the sergeants of the iron-blooded army were newly recruited, these sergeants were all sergeants under Lu Yanhong before, and a large part of them belonged to new recruits, and they had not experienced real fighting at all.

There is also the most critical point, that is, Qian Shiqu proposed to occupy Bazhou and Pengzhou at the same time, which has deep meaning, Bazhou is located in the middle of Shannan West Road, occupying Bazhou and Pengzhou, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling Bizhou, Quzhou, Tongzhou, Langzhou and Guozhou to the south of Bazhou, as for Lizhou, Jizhou, Liangzhou, Wenzhou, Zezhou, Xingzhou, Fengzhou and other places north of Bazhou, it was finally taken gradually.

Qian Shiqu proposed this proposal, Li Rupei quickly saw the meaning clearly, and readily agreed.

From the perspective of ensuring success, the Iron Army must show the spirit of a lion fighting a rabbit and occupy Bazhou and Pengzhou in one fell swoop.

The degree of marching is very fast, Li Rupei has long been adapted, but he is a little worried about Qian Shiqu, as a scholar, not a professional sergeant, whether he can adapt to such a high-intensity march, I can't imagine that Qian Shiqu has no problem at all, and can keep up with the pace of the army, which makes Li Rupei even more pleased, he also knows what Qian Shiqu is doing in the iron-blooded army camp for so long, and he also knows that Qian Shiqu is holding back his strength and wants to show his ability.

There are only two hours of rest at night.

Li Rupei basically won't rest, and the scouts are constantly reporting the information they have detected, and he needs to make corresponding adjustments according to the information.

Because the army marched too fast, in just one day, it had already marched more than 300 miles, less than 100 miles away from Bazhou, and the original plan of two days seemed to be unnecessary.

There are still people on the official road, and the army is going to Bazhou, and the news is afraid that it will leak, but Li Rupei did not put the Yawai army in his eyes, even if the Yawai army knew the news, the problem was not too big, it was nothing more than a turtle to shrink into the Bazhou state city, in view of such a possibility, Li Rupei had already made corresponding arrangements, and many scouts had entered the Bazhou city to lurk, and the army attacked the state city, and the inside and outside should be combined, and there would not be too much trouble.

The news from the scouts made Li Rupei even more relieved, there was no movement in the direction of Bazhou, and it seemed that because the army was moving too fast, Bazhou did not have time to know the news.

Qian Shiqu had always followed Li Rupei's side, and after the scout had finished reporting, he proposed to build it again.

"Li Lang, a certain Jian's rest time, shorten by an hour, attack at the right time, end the battle at the end of the hour, before attacking the Yawai army, transfer a part of the soldiers, and find a way to control the city of Bazhou, so that the Yawai army has no way to escape, after defeat, can only choose to surrender, as for the five hundred foreign town soldiers, once the Yawai army is exterminated, the foreign town soldiers will not resist, either choose to flee, or choose to surrender."

"What do you mean is that you will send some soldiers out now, bypass the garrison of the Yawai army, go straight to Bazhou City, and block the escape route of the Yawai army after controlling Bazhou City."

Qian Shiqu nodded.

"Well, this is good, so let's do it."

The task was quickly issued, and the person in charge of the implementation was the captain Yan Fu, who led five hundred soldiers to rush to Bazhou City, and must completely control Bazhou City before the hour.

After all the arrangements were completed, Li Rupei breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the map on the table, Li Rupei spoke.

"Mr. Qian, after occupying Bazhou and Pengzhou, Bizhou, Quzhou, Tongzhou, Langzhou and Guozhou to the south of Bazhou will inevitably cause great panic, these places must not be chaotic, otherwise it will directly affect Bazhou and Pengzhou, and I am afraid it will also shake the entire Shannan West Road, in this case, Mr. thinks how to deal with it."

Qian Shiqu's eyes lit up, and Li Lang was completely clear about the plan he had been thinking about.

"Li Lang, after occupying Bazhou and Pengzhou, if possible, the army should not rest, and control Bizhou, Quzhou, Tongzhou, Langzhou, and Guozhou as quickly as possible."

"This is good, but if Lu Yanhong has a heart, vowing to fight to the end, there are some disadvantages, the Spring Festival is coming soon, followed by spring ploughing, the spring ploughing season can not be delayed, if it is during the spring ploughing, the south of Bazhou is in the midst of war, delaying the agricultural time, the people can not live in the coming year, and the iron-blooded army is difficult to maintain."

"I think, Li Lang don't worry, Lu Yanhong doesn't dare to move a full-scale attack, the iron-blooded army has won successive victories, and its strength is fully revealed, even if Lu Yanhong wants to attack, he must think carefully, the army under his command is all dispatched, in case of defeat, he will be forced to leave Shannan West Road, which is equivalent to losing all the territory he has, Lu Yanhong does not dare and is unwilling to give it a go."

"The analysis is very good, there is a hunch that once the iron-blooded army occupies the places south of Bazhou, Lu Yanhong is very likely to change the way to deal with it, that is, Xu Yi's official position, a letter of edict from the imperial court, and completely solve the problem, if such a situation occurs, what does Mr. Qian have to do."

"It's very simple, the edict of the imperial court is acceptable, but you have to ask for it, and you don't leave Shannan West Road."

"Mr. Qian's idea is good, but you can't have both, I'm afraid there is no such a good thing, the court regards the iron-blooded army as bandits, and it won't look at it in the eyes, even if you want to recruit An, it's good to be able to give an official position, Huangchao is so big, the group surrounded Guangzhou, thinking about being the Lingnan festival envoy, but the official position given by the court is to lead the government, not to mention the iron-blooded army."

The rate of the government belongs to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and it is an official position specifically responsible for the honor guard, and the actual power of this official position is even inferior to that of the county lieutenant in Shangxian. Giving Huang Chao such an official position is tantamount to insulting and angering others.

Qian Shiqu shook his head.

"The imperial court doesn't know, Lu Yanhong knows, and Liu Jurong of Shannan East Road also knows, as long as the two Jiedu envoys go to fight for it, there will be no problem for the iron-blooded army to stay in Shannan West Road."

"What Mr. means, I still have to accept the court's recruitment."

"X doesn't have this idea, X just thinks that Li Lang has already made a decision."

Li Rupei raised his head and laughed, it seems that this Qian Shiqu is indeed a talent.

Accepting the official position given by the imperial court is the best choice, as for what to do next, it is your own business, as long as you can justifiably gain a foothold in Shannan West Road, Lu Yanhong will not stay here for a long time, anyway, many festival envoys are coerced by force to agree to the imperial court, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip.

To be able to accept the official position granted by the imperial court and have a formal identity, there is also one most important point, that is, to manage the gentry and wealthy households in the jurisdiction, so as to clarify a lot of systems.

At the end of the day, the army came out.

At that time, the Tooth Wai Army had been completely surrounded.

1,005 vs. 1,05, the strength is about the same, but the combat effectiveness is not in a grid.

This is not a battle, it is equivalent to chasing pigs and sheep, the Yawai army has almost no resistance, and the Yawai army generals who are ready to resist stubbornly were quickly cut off by Huang Biao, and the rest of the Yawai army sergeants have long heard of the prestige of the iron-blooded army, and they chose to surrender without much resistance, and some officers fled to the state city with the sergeants, but unfortunately what awaits them is a tragic end.

After the complete defeat of the Yawai army, Li Rupeixun gave an order, leaving 500 soldiers to clean up the battlefield, of which 300 were responsible for guarding the prisoners, 200 were responsible for concentrating all the grain, grass, baggage and weapons, etc., and the remaining nearly 1,000 soldiers immediately rushed to Bazhou Prefecture to meet with the soldiers led by Yan Fu.

At that time, Li Rupei was already in the state government.

The process of taking the city of Bazhou is very simple, the scouts who were ambushed in the city, when they were in charge, they killed the soldiers who were waiting for the city, and took control of the city gate, and when Yan Fu led the army to arrive, the city gate was opened, and all the five hundred soldiers entered the city.

In the middle of the night, the city was quiet, and Yan Fuxun divided the five hundred soldiers into two groups, one to control the zhì patrol room, the other to control the zhì Prefecture Ya, and the officials such as the assassin Shi of the Bazhou Prefecture Ya, and when they were caught, they did not even wake up completely from their sleep.

Li Rupei led the army to Bazhou City, and he was already a sergeant of the Iron and Blood Army waiting for the city gate.

The first order given by Li Rupei was to stabilize the situation in Bazhou City, and there could be no commotion.

As for the captured assassins and other officials, Li Rupei had already thought about it, all these people would be sent to Liangzhou, he would not bear this burden, let alone kill these people, so let Lu Yanhong deal with it.

As for the candidates for the history of the Bazhou Assassin and the Pengzhou Assassin, there have been candidates for a long time, that is, Yu Chenghui and Tan Mingxiao, as for the county order of each county, the basic principle is to retain the original personnel, Li Rupei does not have so many talents, and he cannot send talents who can govern a county well for the time being.
