Time flies, time flies. qs

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past month, Long 13 sent his cavalry out in turn to attack Zhaocheng County, Hongdong County, and Yueyang County in the form of guerrilla warfare, which contained a large number of troops of the Ming army, which also made Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan in Yueyang County persist under the siege of You Shilu, Zuo Liangyu, and He Renlong.

However, the time has reached the January period agreed by Long Thirteen, because You Shilu is still staying in Qinyuan County, it is impossible for Lao Hui to return to Qinzhou again, he can only follow the agreement with Long Thirteen, and begin to plan to abandon Yueyang County, after walking out of the mountain, along the west foot of Huoshan towards Huozhou.

However, Long Thirteen sent someone to bring him a message.

"Hold out for another 10 days, and then our ministry will take action."

Huozhou, end of August.

An operation to harvest corn is being carried out nervously in Lingshi County and Huozhou.

Dragon Thirteen Administration.

A meeting is also going on.

"Big Boss"

It was Li Zhanchun who was reporting, and not long ago he finally found out the surrounding information.

"Let's talk about the north side first, Zijin Liang and others originally rode at least left and right, while Xu Dingchen from Fenzhou, Cao Wenzhao from Jiexiu County, and Wang Pu from Pingyao County added up to more than 1,000 horses."

"However, in the battle of Zijin Liang and others attacking Qi County, Jiang Huang under Wang Pu led the cavalry to rush and beat violently, and actually broke the large array of Zijin Liang in one fell swoop, and then Wang Pu and Cao Wenzhao each took advantage of the situation to attack and broke it."

"This made Zijin Liang and the others surround Qi County, which they had been trying to surround for ten days and saw that they were about to get it, suddenly flew, and they had no choice but to escape into Mianshan again, naturally losing a lot of ravines, baiters, and family members."

"At this time, in the Qinzhou area, more than ten troops led by Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, successfully entered Xiangyuan County, and also besieged the county for a few days.

"Guanning Iron Rider?"

"Yes, the leader of the general is a man named Zu Kuan, who is extremely brave, although Gao Yingxiang and others also have thousands of horses, but the big boss also knows that only half of them can ride and fight, so it was another big defeat, almost all the ravines, bait and family members were lost, and the rest escaped into Taihang Mountain."

「......」

Li Zhanchun saw that Long Thirteen's expression was not good, so he comforted: "Big boss, don't worry, although Gao Yingxiang's department was defeated, its main force is still there, especially Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng's three departments have almost all entered the Fukou Sect, and in this case, Zu Kuan has to chase after him."

"There are also some rebels who have returned to Qinzhou, but there are still Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army in it, and the specific situation is unknown at the moment."

"After Zijin Liang and the others escaped into the vicinity of Longzhouyu in Mianshan, they were blocked by the fierce tiger troops, but the fierce tiger army was not strong, and they were still broken through, and at this time they should have entered Qinzhou to join several troops under Gao Yingxiang's command."

"Where's Hong Chengchou?"

"Due to the guerrilla attacks of our department, they have taken care of one thing and lost the other, and they are also rushing to harvest grain, so their defense remains unchanged, but according to the information we have received, the latest batch of grain and grass has been transported to Pinglu County, and it is estimated that it will soon be transported to Pingyang Prefecture, Zhaocheng County, Hongdong County and other places through the Yuhan Ancient Road in Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Also, in addition to the thirty-six families in Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi, there was also a rebel army mainly composed of border troops in Qingyang Mansion and Huamachi, and the original leader was Shen Yikui and Shen Yiyuan brothers, and later both brothers died, because their main forces were border troops, and their combat power was quite strong."

"But recently, they seem to have been under pressure from the officers and soldiers, and they seem to be aware of the existence of our troops, and are driving to the banks of the Yellow River, preparing to join our troops, by the way, their leader is a man called the Red Army Friends."

Long 13 shook his head, "According to the Di newspaper, only He Huchen and Zheng Jiadong are the two people left in Shaanxi to suppress the thieves, how much pressure can there be? Most of the Tiger Dun Rabbit Khan who was in the Jacket Capital Panhuan started, which made the army of the Red Army friends unable to stay, so they had to return to the territory of Daming."

"Besides, the Yellow River won't freeze for at least two months, and even if they want to join us, they will have to wait a while

By the way, you send spies to wait for the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, and let the Red Army friends slowly rush south along the west bank of the Yellow River, and then we can meet them at Yumendu in Hejin County."

Li Zhanchun's heart froze, "So the big boss will soon go south?"

However, he was only slightly stunned, and then continued: "The big boss, the mountain bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the water bandits near Bailangdu have also been contacted."

"Oh?"

"The bandit leader near Pinglu County is called Wang Dingguo, very brave, originally to advance to Jingqin Wang Ming's army to break up here, this person still does not accept it all night, after contacting him, he is quite interested, but he didn't say anything dead, it is estimated that he is waiting for me to wait for the next move."

"And the Yellow River bandits are two people from Shaanxi, who originally robbed their homes on the river between Yumen and Puzhou, and were later driven to Henan by Hong Chengchou."

"The eldest is called Wang Ziqi, and the second is called Wang Ziyu, both of whom have some water kung fu, and land kung fu is so-so, just like Wang Dingguo, although they are polite to us, but they still don't say death."

Dragon Thirteen nodded, and he looked around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the autumn harvest will be over in a few days, and after the autumn harvest, not only will our department harvest more grain and grass, but also the officials and soldiers will not be like this, so they will not need to use merchants to transport grain and grass from Henan, Huguang and other places."

"So, their second encirclement and suppression will start soon, and you have also seen it, whether it is Zijin Liang or Gao Yingxiang, they are vulnerable in front of the elite of the Ming army, that is, our department can hold out for a few months."

"So, the focus of this encirclement and suppression is obviously still our department, in my opinion, to deal with Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng, who have gone east, it is enough to have Zukuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry."

"As for Zijinliang and others who returned to Mianshan and Qinzhou again, it is enough to have fierce tigers, Wang Pu, You Shilu and others to encircle and suppress them."

"Therefore, it is very likely that Lu Xiangsheng's troops in the east will join in the encirclement and suppression of our troops, and then we will have Cao Wenzhao, Hu Dawei, etc. in the west, Lu Xiangsheng, Xu Dingchen, Wang Pu, etc. in the north, and Hong Chengchou, Yang Jiamo, Wang Chengen, Li Bei, Bai An, Zuo Liangyu, and He Renlong in the south."

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are ten armies, and for each step is counted as one person, there is one person! If we don't set off again, we will inevitably be surrounded and killed by them in the area of Lingshi County-Huozhou."

"At that time, because of their large numbers, our farming, working and other activities will not be as stable as they are now, so we will have to go."

"Where to go? At this point, it's time to explain to everyone."

"Yes, the reason why I was planning to migrate again in the autumn is because the Yellow River froze! Once the Yellow River freezes, we can go back to Shaanxi again, and we can go south to Henan."

"Shaanxi, especially in northern Shaanxi, is too barren and almost uninhabited, and it is waiting to die when you go back, while Henan, especially the southern part of Henan, is very little affected by drought and frost, and has a large population, so it is an ideal place for our army."

"However, right now, we have Hong Chengchou in front of us, Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen in the back, where is it so easy to get away?"

"So, before we can migrate, we have to do a few things."

"First of all, it is said that after Wang Pu and others defeated Zijin Liang and others, they all placed their families in Qi County and Taigu County, and there were tens of thousands of people.

Hearing this, all the people felt extremely excited, in the past, when they were in other camps, they lost any family members, not to mention ravines and baiters, but since following Long Thirteen, they felt the kindness and fun of being a real "person" for the first time.

"Hit one or several parts at the same time, so that when we go south, they won't be pressed too hard."

"Second, before going north, I have to rescue Lao Huihui and others trapped in Yueyang County, my purpose is very clear, not to rescue them, but to break Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong, so that Lao Huihui and others can continue to stay in Yueyang County, and when our army goes south, they can follow together."

"Among the departments under Hong Chengchou's command, these two people are the most courageous, if they are defeated, presumably the remaining ones will be Ruyang Jiamo and Li

The humble will not be able to hold on, and sit back and watch us go away, even Hong Chengchou will be helpless."

looked at Li Zhanchun again: "Let's talk specifically about Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong."

Li Zhanchun said: "Although Zuo Liangyu is only the deputy general of Changping, he has 3,000 people under his command, which is the largest number of all the encirclement and suppression officers and troops......

"Why is that? According to the regulations, a sub-guard general has a great step."

"Big boss, this Zuo Liangyu originally only had more than 1,000 horses, but after arriving in Shanxi, he fought with our rebel army and captured many rebel brothers.

"In the past, when Gao Yingxiang's troops were in Xizhou and Shilou, he captured some old battalions of the rebels and seized a lot of money, so he also had the financial resources to support these people."

"Also, it is said that he has a very good relationship with Wang Heizi, the largest merchant in Henan, so he can also get a lot of grain and grass through this person, by the way, recently several horses of grain and grass from Shanxi officials and soldiers were transported by Wang Heizi from Jianghuai and Huguang."

"There are roughly two under the command of Zuo Liangyu, and the cavalry is headed by Wang Yun, this person is from Liaodong, known as Wang Tiecai, the best cavalry, by the way, Zuo Liangyu's cavalry was born from the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and he likes to use the three-eyed gun the most, but when our army has to defend."

"The infantry army is headed by Li Guoying, and this person's infantry army seems to have followed the tactics of the last army left in Liaodong by the Qi family army in the past, and it is the best at cooperating, and there are firecrackers in the team."

"At the outlet of Jianshui, at the southernmost end of Huoshan, there is a large temple called Guangsheng Temple, which covers an extremely wide area, larger than the Baocheng Temple north of Fenzhou, and this place is now occupied by Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong's two nights."

"Zuo Liangyu's leader of the night is called Xu Yong, who was originally from a family of military generals in Yansui Town, and later it is said that he had the ambition of Yue Wumu and took the initiative to join the army in Liaodong.

"Besides, Nahe Renlong, his men and horses are not as many as Zuo Liangyu, but they are extremely powerful, and there are two generals under him, one is called Dong Xueli, who is his cavalry general, and the other is Gao Jinku, who is his infantry general."

"This person and He Jinlong of my battalion, Ge Li Yan He Yilong are all members of the He family of Mizhi County, it is said that the He family in northern Shaanxi are the descendants of the famous figures He Bayue and He Basheng in the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties

"In his camp, there are a large number of He disciples, and it is estimated that except for Dong Xueli and Gao Jinku, the rest of the positions are occupied by the He family's disciples."

"The leader of He Renlong's night is a son of the He family named He Yong, he is also He Renlong's nephew, and he is also from martial arts."

"Yueyang County is on the east bank of Jianshui, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the main forces of He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu's troops closely surround the city, while You Shilu's troops are on the periphery, guarding various traffic arteries."

"The reason why Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong arranged for Xu Yong and He Yong to guard Guangsheng Temple is obviously because they are afraid that our army will come to their rescue.
