After a while, he said, "Don't you think of another situation?"

"Could it be that Cao Wen's edict stationed in Taiyuan City can't go south at any time? Once Chuang Wang and other troops began to attack Fenxi County, Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, He Renlong, Zuo Guangxian, and Cao Wenzhao surrounded them from all directions, and at that time, not only would there be a chance to destroy Chuang Wang and other troops, but also a chance to take our department! ”

When everyone thought about it, they felt that this was very likely.

Long Xiaoshi said: "Actually, the key is still in Huozhou, once our department takes Huozhou, everything will be solved."

"Also", Long Xiaoshi looked at Long Thirteen, "It depends on where our department is going in the end, Lingshi County is stuck on the main road in Jinzhong and Jinnan, and the officials and troops must get rid of it first and then quickly, otherwise it will be in the throat and block its north-south post road."

"Right now, the main force of the official army is still encircling Kong Youde and others near Dengzhou, otherwise they would have surrounded them a long time ago."

"Even so, it won't give me too much time to wait"

Long Thirteen smiled and said, "From your point of view, should we wait for the north or the south?" ”

Long Xiaoshi said: "If you go north along the valley of the Fen River, it will naturally be a dead end, but if you still return to the western foot of Guji Mountain, there is still a lot to do, especially near the partial pass, where there is the triangle of Daming, Tumote, and Yuan'er Dusi."

"At present, not only has the Ming Dynasty experienced a long period of drought and cold, but it is not the case on the grassland, so if you can take the vicinity of the pass, you can harvest a large number of Mongolian cavalry, and once the battle is unfavorable, you can also retreat into the grassland."

Long Thirteen shook his head, "The partial pass belongs to the core area of Shanxi Town, how can you be allowed to stay there safely, it is impossible"

Long Xiaoshi nodded, "That is, to go south, but once you want to go south, you must go to Huozhou, once you take Huozhou, even if the enemy surrounds you, you will not be afraid."

Long Thirteen sighed, "What you said is right, but it's a pity that Zhang Zongheng doesn't know the importance of Huozhou?" Whether Zuo Guangxian and Niu Chenghu don't go out, or only go out, the troops left behind are not something that we can easily deal with right now."

"According to the information of the Black Harrier, the land of Huozhou has already killed or driven away the displaced people who used to surround the city, and we can't get it if we want to mix into the city in the name of the displaced people."

Long Xiaoshi said: "Big boss, don't we still have Shanxi Patrol Imperial History Zhang Zhensun and General Shi Dewei in our hands......

Long Thirteen shook his head, "It is estimated that Zhang Zhensun and the others have already spread all over Shanxi when they are captured, and it is unlikely that they will be used to make a fuss at the moment, not to mention, I have already released these two people......"

"Released?"

Long Thirteen nodded, "That's right, these two people were once captured by our camp, even if they go back, they won't be reused soon, do you think everyone is Qin Hui?" It's impossible, putting it back can divide them"

"Besides, my Xiaoqiang battalion is different from other rebels, it doesn't rely on blindly killing, if it is a person who is extremely evil and harms the people, he will naturally kill with a knife, I will not hesitate, but these two people don't seem to have much evil deeds......"

Others didn't think so, but Long Xiaoshi secretly thought: "The big boss is buying people's hearts in advance."

Long 13 continued: "In this way, if Po Ximu of Fenxi County abandons this city and retreats to Huozhou before the arrival of King Chuang's department, then everything is easy to say, indicating that Po Ximu has no choice but to do it."

"If it retreats to the direction of Hot Spring Fort, it means that the official army has laid a big net and is ready to let Gao Yingxiang's troops 'invite you into the urn', and then the army suddenly came out from all directions and surrounded Fenxi County."

"At this time, our army has to be saved, so they can carry out the 'siege and reinforcements', which is extremely unfavorable to us."

"If Gao Yingxiang doesn't really want to take the county seat of Fenxi, but does what he has been doing on the way here, using a small number of troops to approach the county seat, and then the brigade will go directly eastward, then it will still be unfavorable to us."

"The best situation is that first, Po Ximu is uncertain and will stick to Fenxi County, but he will not hold on for too long, which will attract Huozhou's Zuoguang Xian, whether it is Zuo Guangxian or Niu Chenghu, once it comes out, it will be blocked by our retreat"

At this time, Gao Yingxiang's department had to go all out to lay down the county seat of Fenxi as a foundation, otherwise, Po Ximu and Niu Chenghu or Zuo Guang would attack first, plus Zuo Liangyu and other departments that might appear at any time, and Gao would immediately face a catastrophe

"Once Gao Yingxiang and others occupy the county seat of Fenxi, our department can send grain and grass to them"

"With Gao Yingxiang in Fenxi County, our department can rest assured that it will boldly attack Huozhou, and before that, we must first annihilate the part that goes out of the city."

"In any case, as long as I wait for one of them to be destroyed, the rest of the departments will flee in a hurry, and now it depends on what Gao Yingxiang's department does."

He looked at Li Zhanchun again, "Black Harrier, you hurry up and make another trip, mainly to observe the movements of Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong."

......

Three days later, the scene of Gao Yingxiang's attack on Fenxi County, which Long Thirteen was looking forward to, did not appear, and with Li Zhanchun's return, he also brought him a shocking news.

"Big boss!"

Li Zhanchun was covered in sweat, and as soon as he entered Long Thirteen's meeting hall, he picked up a large bowl of herbal tea and drank it.

"I'm fooled!"

"Oh?" , Long Thirteen remained silent.

"Gao Yingxiang lied, didn't he send half of the bait and ravines to attack Puxian, and sent Gao Yigong to come to me and me......"

"Wait," Long 13 interjected, "You mean that Gao Yigong's ability to reach us smoothly was deliberately done by the officials and soldiers?" ”

"Most likely, they want to let Gao Yingxiang and others go to Fenxi County, and then let the officials and troops compress Gao and our troops in the narrow area of Fenxi County and Lingshi County, but Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are obviously secretly following Gao Yingxiang's main force."

"At this moment, Gao Yingxiang Xingxing sensed the intentions of the official army, so he sent a small force to Fenxi County, and simply drove the main force to Pu County, with half of the ravines and bait to serve, he actually took Pu County in one fell swoop!"

"At this time, the left department and the He department are still near Xizhou and Daning, and it is too late to learn about it, and Pu County is only separated from Pingyang Province by Guji Mountain, which can be reached overnight."

"So, the left and He had to march south overnight, and you know the speed of the official army, it will take at least two days to reach Puxian, and these two days are enough for the high troops to rest, loot, and replenish."

"And then?"

"And then? At this time, the back road of Gaobu has been blocked by the left and Hebu, so there is only one way out of Gujishan to reach Jinnan Valley, and then you can enter Huoshan to the east and join Zijinliang and others."

"Smack!" , Long Thirteen slapped on the table, "The opportunity I was waiting for has come!" ”

Li Zhanchun looked at him puzzled, and Long 13 said: "Compared with our department, it is obvious that the high department has a heavier weight in the various departments of the official army, don't think about it at this time, the high department must be advancing eastward, and the left department and the He department are also in hot pursuit."

"So, Gao Yingxiang was able to let the remnants of the ravines and baits that conquered Pu County stay behind and break off, according to their usual practice, after they took Pu County, they would let some women ration some ravines and bait, and then let them break off, and the women and their families would follow the team."

"At this time, the ravines and baits are very firm, as long as they hold on to Puxian for a day, they can ensure that the main force will go to the Jinnan Plain"

"In this section, Zhang Zongheng, who is sitting in Pingyang Mansion, doesn't know, so he will order Zuo Guangxian and Niu Chenghu of Huozhou to go south to intercept it, most of them Niu Chenghu, who has 1,500 paces to ride, and let him intercept the Gao Department together with Li Bei and Bai Anbu of Pingyang Mansion in Hongdong County."

"But there are still half of the people in Huozhou."

Long Thirteen shook his head, "Gao Yingxiang won't all go south, he will definitely send a few rebel troops to feint to attack Fenxi County."

"If this scene is known by Po Ximu in Fenxi County, he will not give up the county, there are only two or three rebel troops, and Po Ximu will most likely attack......"

Long Xiaoshi asked with some puzzlement: "Big Master, do you mean to solve the Poxi Pastoral Department first?" But there are only five or six hundred people left, so why bother? ”

"Definitely", Long 13 shook his head, "Although there are only five or six hundred people left in the Poxi Pastoral Department, most of them are cavalry, starting from Fenxi County, whether it is going to Huozhou or Xiamen Fort, it is a mountain road....."

......

Two days later.

About ten miles east of Fenxi County, there is the nearest road leading to the Fen River in the county (the Shidian Line in later generations), where the three cavalry of Zhang Miaoshou, Bai Jiu'er, and Yingshanhong are galloping eastward.

As Long Thirteen expected, seeing that it was not Gao Yingxiang's brigade that came to "attack" Fenxi County, but only four or five hundred horsemen from three divisions, so he made a heart and took his five hundred cavalry out of the city to pursue!

He naturally cared about Long Thirteen in Lingshi County, but at this time, Long Thirteen's soldiers and horses were all arranged on the east bank of the Fen River, except for Xiamen Fort, and there was no road to the south of Xiamen Fort, so he could only go to the other side of the river through a wooden wall.

So, even if Long 13 knew that he had already left the city, he still had to mobilize people and horses, and he had to arrange boats to cross the river, and he couldn't catch up for a while.

Soon, the Poxi Pastoral Department had already driven Zhang Miaoshou, Bai Jiu'er, and Yingshanhong to the west bank of the Fen River, where both sides were cliffs, and they could not even go up the mountain except to cross the river.

Zhang Miaoshou and the others really did this, and Po Ximu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it.

"These thieves, except for Long Thirteen and Gao Yingxiang's headquarters, seem to be cavalry, but they are just infantry who can ride horses, and they will take down the ...... with one charge."

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves behind him!

It didn't take long for a group of people to come out of the smoke and dust!

As soon as he saw the big flag, Po Ximu couldn't help but spin the world!

Dragon Thirteen!

Yes, it is indeed Long Thirteen, after he got the news of Zhang Miaoshou and the others, he hurriedly asked Li Zhanchun to send someone to contact them in advance, and then he took all the cavalry to cross the Fen River from the Yin Land, and finally went around to Fenxi County!

There was no suspense, under the projectiles of the increasingly mature Mongolian cavalry of the Xiaoqiang battalion and the blows of the javelins, Po Ximu's cavalry soon became a mess.

This time, Long Thirteen did not give the order to assassinate the war horse, because Po Ximu could no longer control his team after seeing Long Thirteen's cavalry and suffering the blow of arrows from the sky, so he had to continue to fight with Zhang Miaoshou and the others.

At this time, it is left to the dragon thirteen, they are all backs!

After about an hour, the battle was over.

Long Thirteen completely annihilated the Poxi Pastoral Department, killed all the cavalry, including Poxi Mu, captured hundreds of sets of armor and more than 300 war horses.

And in this battle, although Po Ximu and others were defeated, they were still at ease against Zhang Miaoshou and others, Zhang Miaoshou and Yingshanhong were all killed in this battle, leaving only Bai Jiu'er alone.

Bai Jiu'er took refuge in Long Thirteen, and by the way, he also brought over more than 300 cavalry!
