Da Shizi's strategy, although it is to bypass Luocheng, but after all, Luocheng is very small, and this movement still alarmed the soldiers stationed in Luocheng after all.

"Look at that outfit, it's not my Yuezhou soldiers and horses, general, do you want to send someone to ask what happened?"

On a hill, a sergeant asked the guards who had heard the news.

"How do you ask? If it is an enemy or a friend, how can we stop it with our Luo Cheng's little strength? Moreover, people didn't mean to disturb my Luo Cheng, quickly passed on my order, strictly guarded the gates, and Hugh had to provoke without authorization! ”

The guard general doesn't want to cause trouble, and his thousands of people can obviously only stuff people's teeth.

"No!"

The sergeant hurriedly responded.

At that time, everything was in a hurry, and when Li Ziyu sent out the troops, he was also in a hurry, so no one came to Luocheng and informed him of the vote for the king. Naturally, this defender did not dare to act rashly. Besides, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, how dare he not measure his strength?

So, the tens of thousands of people of the great prince went to the ferry port of Luocheng in a grand manner, and frightened the thousands of soldiers guarding the ferry and fled immediately.

The waterway was thus unblocked, and the great prince did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered to forcibly requisition local fishing boats and hurry across the river. In this way, around the middle of the day, these tens of thousands of people finally crossed the river.

After crossing the river, it was already dark, and the great prince had another plan, ordering 2,000 soldiers to set up tents on the shore, creating the false impression that tens of thousands of his troops were stationed on the shore. And he himself, with the rest of the soldiers, continued the march.

In this way, it was sad for Zheng Baye in the back.

"It seems that they are going to settle down by the river, and in the darkness of the night, the people's fishing boats have been requisitioned by them, but we have no way through."

In the words, Zheng Baye was extremely helpless.

Originally, the two intended to do it at night and wait for the opportunity to rescue Li Ziyu. But as soon as the great prince made such an arrangement, their chances were slim. The biggest difficulty is crossing the river.

"Alas, Gang Master Zheng, I'm afraid that we can get by, and there is nothing we can do! You see, this light is all over the other side, and it is really rare to find General Li in it! ”

Bai Yun Zhenren also sighed lightly.

"Well, in that case, let's go around the neighborhood and find a place to rest!"

Zheng Baye nodded, and could only succumb to the situation in front of him.

……

And Xu Lang, who rushed to Pingjiang from Changsha, finally arrived in Pingjiang at this time. It's not that people are sleepy, but they're also a little tired.

"General, this Pingjiang is actually an empty city!"

The forward soldiers hurriedly reported to Xu Lang.

"Well, it seems that we are a step too late."

Xu Lang sighed, somewhat helpless.

"Deliver my order, the army temporarily rests outside the city, and a proclamation is issued to calm the people, and the scouts probe ten miles forward to find out the enemy's movements. Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off. ”

The night was already like this, the night march, the direction was unknown, and he didn't know where the enemy army had fled, Xu Lang had to be cautious.

"By the way, the man from the beggar gang I met on the road first is called Niu Laoqi, and I asked him to come over."

It turned out that Niu Laoqi was ordered by Zheng Baye to go to Changsha to report the news, and happened to meet Xu Lang's forward army on the way. After seeing the word "Xu" on the military flag clearly, he hurriedly and boldly greeted him. However, at that time, the march was in a hurry, and it was not early, so Xu Lang did not ask in detail, as long as he returned to Pingjiang with the army, he would elaborate.

Soon, Niu Laoqi was invited to Xu Lang.

"Come, sit down, Big Brother, and tell Xu, Pingjiang City, what happened?"

When Xu Lang saw him coming, he immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Good!"

Niu Laoqi had already heard Zheng Baye briefly mention Xu Lang, and knew that he had a very close relationship with the beggar gang, so he quickly eliminated his nervousness, and hugged him with a golden knife.
