In the golden autumn of September, the land of Sanjin is pale and yellow.

Long 13 led the army slowly on the east bank of the Fen River.

Xu Dingchen did not burn all the old camps of the righteous army, but burned the old, weak, sick and disabled, and about 10,000 young men and women, thousands of young women and children were hidden in Taigu County.

This time, Long Shisan was no longer soft-hearted, he moved all the money, food and materials of all the rich families and gentry in Taigu County, including Zhai Tang's family, and looted thousands of carts, took them all away, and took all the poor households away, so there were thousands more.

He threw the captured Xu Dingchen, Cao Wenzhao, and Wang Pu into a prisoner cart with only their heads exposed, and then followed the army all the way south.

Before, the fierce tiger department hidden in the Longzhouyu Inspection Division had not seen news on the plain for a long time, so he couldn't help but kill it, and was naturally easily repelled by the small strong brigade.

And Wang Pubu in Qi County and Cao Wenzhao in Pingyao County could only sit back and watch the army of thieves go away.

When he arrived at Lingshikou Pass near Jiexiu County, he released all three of them, of course, just like the county order in Linxian County, Long 13 asked Xu Dingchen and Wang Pu to sign a shameful agreement, Cao Wenzhao naturally refused, but Long 13 was not reluctant.

Xu Dingchen was able to do exactly what he wanted, naturally in his expectations, and Wang Pu, who was powerful and stylish, also trembled and complied, which was much to his expectations, and Cao Wenzhao's "strong and unyielding" was also in his expectations.

He knew that because Cao Wenzhao was "righteous and awe-inspiring", and the other two were "reluctant to make a living", once the three of them were released, the Wang family, which had deep roots, would definitely join forces with Xu Dingchen, a member of the Donglin Party, to frame Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Wenzhao was weak, and he couldn't help Wang and Xu at all.

But in any case, a governor, a general soldier, and a family general were all released back after being captured, and from the perspective of the imperial court, it was obvious that they would not be reused.

It is better to add chaos to the chaos than to kill it.

Of course, he has no ability to take Qi County, Pingyao County, and even Jiexiu County.

However, he didn't have this mind, just after Lingshikou Pass, Li Xin, who stayed in Huozhou, sent him a message for his flying horse.

"The big boss, Gao Yingxiang and more than ten other departments have broken through the Fukou Mansion and entered the Zhangde Mansion, the Daimyo Mansion, and the Shunde Mansion, and Gyeonggi is in a panic, not only Lu Xiangsheng was transferred, but even Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Zelu, was urgently transferred to the Weihui Mansion to preside over the overall situation."

"So, the mud that stayed in Liaozhou and Qinzhou went south to Zelu Erzhou, and if there were no other accidents, more than 100,000 people in these two parts would go south once the Yellow River froze."

After reading this letter, Long Thirteen couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy in his heart.

"By mistake, they still escaped the encirclement and suppression of the official army, historically, they relied on Taihang Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain, Wangwu Mountain and pretended surrender to get rid of the pursuit of the official army, but now it is because of themselves."

"It was I who attracted most of the officers and soldiers that gave them a chance to escape."

It's the middle of September, and the Yellow River is going to freeze all over the place, and it's freezing hard, at least two months away.

But before he could do something, he had to do something about it.

Yes, he completed the task of rescuing the old camp again and obtained a large amount of money, food and population, but after this series of battles in Jinzhong, the imperial court will inevitably treat it as a big danger and will not relax for a while.

"Dragon Thirteen, you have completed the task of rescuing the old camp again, and in this mission, Li Zhanchun and Omubu's force value and commander value have each increased by two points."

"All the people who participated in this battle each increased their Strength and Commander by one point, and you planned well in this battle, and your Wisdom increased by three points to 85, so your 'Insight' perk was upgraded to the third tier."

"At this time, anyone who is hostile to you will show up on his forehead and will appear a crimson."

"Long Xiaoshi's Commander and Wisdom have each increased by two points, and he is your main assistant in this battle."

"Li Xin, Bai Wenxuan, He Jinlong's commander value and luck value each increased by two points in Huozhou and Lingshi County."

......

When I arrived in Huozhou, it was close to the end of September.

After learning about Long Shisan's achievements in Jinzhong, Li Xin became even more respectful after seeing him.

"Big boss, Hong Chengchou and the others in the south have not made any movement, but they seem to be aware of our army's next move, and they have already strengthened the defenses of Anyi County, Puzhou, and Jicheng first."

Dragon Thirteen nodded.

Anyi County is located near Yanchi, is the imperial court's financial and tax important place, and there are many Dingkou, and the north bank of the Yellow River Pinglu County Maojindu is also only separated by a mountain, so it is natural to focus on guarding.

Puzhou is the key point to Guanzhong, and Tongguan and Fenglingdu are mutual Tongguan natural dangers, and strengthening defense is also the proper meaning.

As for strengthening the defense of Jicheng, because it is the key point from Pingyang Prefecture to Zezhou, in order to prevent the small and strong brigades from converging with Zijinliang and Buzhu, they have to strengthen the defense.

"What about the Red Army friends, is there any news of them?"

"Yes, according to the captured official military residence report, it was found that a rebel army had arrived near Yichuan County, according to the situation, most of them were the troops of the Red Army Friends and Li Busi, it seems that they received a message from the big boss and are moving towards Yumendu in Hejin County."

"By the way, who are the people stationed in the above three places?"

"It was Bai'an who was stationed in Jicheng, Yang Jiamo was stationed in Anyi County, Wang Chengen was stationed in Puzhou, and Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong remained by Hong Chengchou's side."

"Right now, Hong Chengchou has returned to Pingyang Mansion with He Renlong, and the one who stays in Zhaocheng County is Zuo Liangyu, and the one who stays in Hongdong County is Li Bei."

"Well, what's going on in Qinzhou?"

"After Zijin Liang and others went south to Xiangyuan County, the officials and soldiers were afraid that they would follow Gao Yingxiang and others, so they quickly sealed Fukou, and they had to continue to go south to Luzhou, so Zu Kuan and You Shilu followed behind."

"Right now, Qinzhou is only as fierce as a tiger."

"What is the situation with the old Hui, the Grim Eye?"

"Oh, there are some, with the support of the big bosses, the Zuojin King He Jin, who was originally attached to the old Huihui, Liu Xiyao, the king of the troubled times, and Lin Yangcheng, the king of the reincarnation, who were attached to the old Hui, have all become independent, and now they have become two parts, called 'Hui'."

"'Back?' , poof.......", Long Thirteen couldn't help laughing, but he quickly stabilized his emotions and said secretly: "Time is also fate, the future 'Ge' has become 'Hui' in advance, no matter what, except for the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying and Ge Li Yan He Yilong, the remaining three may be under his command."

He asked again, "Ma Shouying and He Yilong didn't think of coming to Huozhou to meet me?"

Li Xin felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, but he said, "He Jin, Liu Xiyao, and Lin Yangcheng wanted to come to visit, but they were all stopped by Ma Shouying and He Yilong."

Long Thirteen pursed his lips, "I want to protect my prestige and status, but I don't want to show me too much, is there such a cheap thing?"

Li Xin hurriedly asked, "What does the big boss mean?"

As soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate, and secretly thought: "How can such a thing be said by the big boss himself, this should be said by my subordinates on the initiative."

Hurriedly said: "The big boss, with the meaning of the department, hurriedly sent a post to him, saying that he wanted to celebrate the successful return of our army's family members from the old camp and invited them to participate, at this time, it must be difficult for Ma Shouying and He Yilong to stop, and He Jin, Liu Xiyao, and Lin Yangcheng can come over."

Long Thirteen nodded, "From your point of view, among them, who can be collected?"

Li Xin said: "In my opinion, He Jin and Liu Xiyao are both loyal and generous people, and they are also extremely restrained to their subordinates, but Ma Shouying, Ge Liyan, and Lin Chengcheng have poor military discipline, and they are quite self-conscious, so Ma Shouying should be Huihui, and his subordinates have an appointment to return to the cavalry, and they are very brave and good at fighting."

"People are pure combat cavalry, and they are also good at riding and shooting, which should not be underestimated, and Naga Yilong was originally a scholar with excellent night vision, so he has this nickname, this person is familiar with military books, and is quite able to train and command troops."

"Therefore, in addition to the cavalry, there are hundreds of real ones under his command

The infantry army is quite able to know people and be good at their duties, and there are many capable people under him."

......

A few days later, as Li Xin said, only He Jin and Liu Xiyao came, and the other three couldn't shirk for various reasons.

He Jinlong Thirteen had seen him before, but Liu Xiyao had never seen him, I saw that he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, short and stout, with a beard, and immediately knelt down when he saw Long Thirteen, calling him "big boss".

Long Thirteen was overjoyed, and immediately said: "This place is not a place for us to wait for a long time, I won't hide it from you, the headquarters will go south in a few days, if you are willing, you can move the people and dependents of the headquarters to Xingtang Temple, by the way, it is the mountain fort at the mouth of the main valley on the road you are waiting for."

(Xingtang Temple, about 30 miles east of the Fenhe Post Road, where the south exit of the valley road is located, was originally built by the Tang Dynasty, and is now a military fort)

"At that time, our troops will go south in two ways, one way is through Xingtang Temple to the south, you will go south with them when you see it, you will definitely not lose."

"When you decide, you will send someone to explain the date, and our department will send troops to meet you."

Then Liu Xiyao asked, "Big leader, either I don't want to wait, or I ......."

Long Thirteen sneered, "Could it be that Ma Shouying and He Yilong are unwilling? When you get back, tell them that if there is any more obstruction, I will swear to it!"

When He Jin and Liu Xiyao went back happily, Li Xin asked, "Big boss, are you really alienated from Ma Shouying and He Yilong like this?"

Long Thirteen replied: "Since they have left Zijin Liang and others and come to Yueyang County alone, they must have taken a fancy to our department's strategy, but if they want to use our department's strategy and want to be independent, how easy is it to talk about it? My unit is the same unit that is acting for him?"

"Impossible!"

"Then Ma Shouying and He Yilong really blocked He Jin and Liu Xiyao from coming out?"

"......, alas, they are not short-sighted people who have been able to develop to the point where they are now, and they should know that they have offended me, and if they obstruct others any more, will they not add fuel to the fire, and in my estimation, they will definitely not."

"And what if they want to go south too?"

"Naturally, let it follow, although I don't want to attach my tail, but I am also in the same vein of the righteous army, and I can't bear to suffer losses."
