The speed at which the Tang army learned of the military situation was obviously faster than Ling Huyi's expectations.

In the simple and rough signing room of the Xuanwei City Palace, Wang Rong sorted all kinds of news neatly and placed them on the table, among which there were crumpled and dirty small notes, which were removed from the pigeon's legs.

The number of affairs of the cities and departments of the Tang Army was very large, but the military information about Ling Hu Yi was immediately in the hands of Wang Rong. Among them, there are undercover agents and scout camps arranged by the Department of Detective Affairs in various places, as well as whistleblowers from the generals of Yuguo.

The following officials, some of whom are working hard to write books, record complicated inferences. Zhang Yunshu reported: "According to the news reported from all sides, the minister thought that he could confirm that the strength of the Jing army in the north was 30,000 cavalry, and the elite cavalry of the Linxiang Janissary Guard was 10,000.

After midnight last night, a pontoon bridge was built in Liang County, in the upper reaches of Rushui; At midnight this morning, Linghu Yibu went out of Liang County.

The minister speculated that Ling Huyi wanted to cross the river north from Liang County, with the intention of attacking our army's grain route; That's why they will emerge from the west and avoid our Tang cavalry."

Wang Rong felt that he had a chance, and he also felt a surge of anger coming up, the Tang army was on the north and south lines of Luoshui, where the water network and the city were dense, so that Hu Yi was so bold.

"This guy really doesn't take Lao Tzu seriously!"

Zhang Yunshu also said with the enemy: "This soldier is a dangerous trick and is looking for his own death."

Wang Rongqiang suppressed his anger and impetuousness, and as soon as he raised his head, he looked at the maps on the side, and the large and small maps hung in a whole row on the wooden shelves next to him. In front of him, there was a thick large dossier, and looking through the catalog, he found a small map of Liang County, and there was a text based on the description of the female cadre.

Wang Rong picked up the pen, wrote and drew quickly on the booklet, and said calmly: "Immediately arrange the encirclement and suppression of Ling Huyi, we must make careful arrangements, and we can't let him run away this time."

To the south of Yishui, the land is very flat, and the water surface of Yishui is flush with the land, and from a distance, the fleet of ships moving slowly on the water surface seems to be traveling on land, which is very conspicuous.

When a military general on the ship received the military order sent by the herald, his face suddenly changed, and he looked back and said coldly: "Join the military order of the military department, set fire to all the grain ships."

Everyone was taken aback and in an uproar.

The general handed the military order to the two lieutenant generals and the civilian officer, and said, "You will determine the military order together."

Several people glanced at the scribe and the herald who delivered the military order, the scribe was a member of the military department, and the civilian officials present knew him; A herald is a person who joins the military department and is also an acquaintance. The military order has the seals of the Ministry of War and the Department of Military Affairs, and the personal approval of Wang Rong and Zhang Yunshu, and there is no problem with this military order.

As long as the military order of the Chinese army is confirmed, the military general will not care how strange and unreasonable the order is, and even give the order: "Gather men and order the ship to be set on fire."

In a high-walled courtyard in Xuanwei City, a civil official with a team of soldiers asked someone to open the courtyard door and hurriedly walked in. In the low houses inside, a group of men, women, and children with disheveled hair soon came out and watched the open courtyard door.

The civil servant walked straight into a separate house, and the soldiers stood inside and out.

In a few moments, a rough black man in a ragged robe with the Mediterranean Sea on his head was arrested. The civil official asked, "Ulelu, the pastoral order of Henan County of Yuguo, was captured in June of the second year of Yuanwu."

"Yes, yes."

The bald man Ullulu knelt on the ground and saluted, not daring to resist, and said, "The last general only guarded the pasture for Henan County, and never did anything bad, let alone killed the Tang army......

As soon as he spoke, a mouthful of badly worn yellow teeth appeared.

The civil official ignored it and said coldly: "You now have a new identity, you are the scout chief under the Yu Army of Henan County, under the control of Li De, and his name is Shi Yijian. Anyway, it doesn't matter to you, so Hu Yi can't find you for a while."

Ulero listened to the words of the civil official of the Tang State and looked at him with a stunned expression.

The civil official pointed outside and said, "You have to do an easy thing for my Datang, if you are unwilling or play tricks, your subordinates, brothers, wives and children will be beheaded and questioned." As long as it is done, I will be the saint of the Tang Dynasty, and I will reward you with money for the sake of making up for your merits and not having great evil

Let all of you go back to your hometown."

Listening to the words of the civil official of the Tang Kingdom, Uleru became excited, glared and asked, "What are you doing?"

At this time, the two Tang sergeants threw their armor, weapons, ornaments and other things on the ground with a "clang", and the civil official said, "Hurry up and put it on." The thing is very simple, someone will take you out in a while, show you the direction, and then you ride over to find the Jing *** team, and tell the generals of the Jing army what the official taught you. When you have the chance, you slip away."

Just after noon, the south bank of Yishui. Ling Huyi personally rode his horse to the north, and it didn't take long for him to see the fire on the water sky, the air was full of smoke, and the water surface was burning, as if a wall of fire appeared on the green field.

One of the generals beside him said flatteringly: "Tang Jun was afraid of the marquis like a tiger, and when he heard the wind, he was so frightened that he burned the grain and grass. Although we didn't grab it, it was more convenient, and it also worked."

Ling Hu Yi scolded angrily, acted very decisively, and immediately said loudly: "Order the whole army, go east, and rob the canal!"

On the flat wilderness between the north and south lines of the Tang army, the Jing army set up a formation, galloping on the open field, like a herd of migrating horses, and the hooves of the horses roared and were very arrogant.

Ling Hu Yi was on the right flank, and even saw the new city on the north bank of the water from a distance, and the shadow stood in the sky. This is the territory controlled by the Tang Army, and he no longer needs to hide anything.

In less than an hour, Jing's army reached the section of the Caoqu River near the east between Luoyang and Xuanwei City. On the canal, there is also a long stretch of boats, towering like clouds and sails, like a barrier in front of them. The river on this side of the river is relatively gentle, and the artificially dug river channels in some sections are very shallow, and you can wade on foot, and you dare not have too big and too heavy boats to sail, and the boats on the river are relatively small, but there are very many.

The advance of the Jing army accelerated its march, the cavalry galloped happily, and a large number of men and horses rushed straight to the riverbank. As the cavalry rode their horses, they took their bows and arrows and leaned forward.

Unexpectedly, before he got close to the riverbank, rows of neat Tang sergeants suddenly appeared on the deck. There was a crackling sound, and the crossbow bolts flew into the wind.

From time to time, someone on the galloping horse would scream and roll down, and the fall would be slamming.

The Jing army has already rushed up, unable to stop immediately, rushing to the shore with crossbow arrows and then detouring, the horse archers have released arrows, and the bed crossbow on the ship rang again, crackling a volley, the sound is huge, very scary, but it did not hit a few people, the Jing army horses were trained, did not run around, a group of cavalry ran on the river bank to release arrows. There was a loud shouting on the boat and on the shore, and there was a lot of noise.

Ling Huyi approached on horseback, and looked at the situation by the river with a blue face.

The general said with a look of disbelief: "The Tang army has been prepared for a long time......

Ling Huyi didn't catch anything in Yishui first, and then he saw the fire; rushed to the side of the water, and touched the ash again, and my heart was even more blocked.

He said coldly, "It is impossible for the Tang Army to be prepared in advance. Ben Hou only crossed Rushui yesterday, unless he is a worm in Ben Hou's stomach, how can he guess in advance what Ben Hou wants to do and where to fight?"

Seeing that they were in an unfavorable situation, the generals hurriedly advised, "Master Hou, let's quickly turn around and leave first, and find another time to attack again."

Ling Huyi also has this plan, last night the Tang cavalry was still in the north of Luoyang City and the east of Luoshui, although he can't get anything now, but the Tang Army can't help him for a while.

"!" Ling Hu Yi was furious, and wondered in his heart: "Hell, could it be that Tang Jun is so godly, everything has been calculated in advance? Then why do you have to burn the grain on the Juma River so hastily?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was as if there was the sound of strings on all sides, and the air was trembling.

Ling Huyi rode close to Caoqu, his head stretched forward, and his face was murderous, which made people very frightened. He didn't say a word, but his eyes were very sharp, and at a glance he could see that there were several boats on the river that looked very strange, and stopped there motionless.

Even if there is no wind, the boats should be shaking when they are floating on the water, but the boats are steady.

"There are a few shoals on the Cao Canal, and Ben Hou knows that there is one near here, right over there!" Ling Hu Yi pointed with a horsewhip.

The generals took a closer look and agreed.

Ling Huyi was a little hesitant for a while

, The army can go east from this shoal, or retreat to the southwest, Liangxian and other cities when they came because they were in the belly of Luoyang, and the garrisons inside were the elite of the Yu army.

Ling Huyi is a decisive and cheerful person, he relies on his own judgment to make decisions, and he is currently weighing how to decide.

Not long after, a general of the Jing army came to report, holding a letter in both hands: "Scout urgent report, found a large force of Tang cavalry, and went to the west!"

"Westside?" Ling Huyi frowned and thought.

Immediately, there was no fear on his face and said, "Tang Jun wants to seize the pontoon bridge on the water and cut off my back road?!"

Ling Huyi snorted, noncommittal. Xindao: With the cunning of the Tang Army, the scout's words cannot be fully believed. Moreover, with his battle-hardened intuition, the Tang Army's outflanking from the upper reaches of the water was too detouring, and it also seemed too conservative.

But soon, three more scouts came back to report the whereabouts of the Tang cavalry, and they all said that they were going west. Linghu Yi will be suspicious, although it is a scout's report, it can't always be negotiated.

Not long after, another general hurried over and hurriedly said, "Master Hou, the people who stayed behind to guard Li De in Yuguo have come to report that the main force of the Tang army has been killed in Liang County."

Ling Huyi asked suspiciously, "Li De is inside Luoyang City, how do you know about the Tang Army outside the city?"

The general replied, "It's Li De's men, the scouts under the control of Zheng Xun, and the tokens, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Ling Huyi had already believed it for eight points when he heard it, and he had known the generals of Henan County in Yuguo for a long time, and Li De did have a henchman named Zheng Xun who was in charge of Li De's scout cavalry. The eldest husband didn't have to dwell on the details, so Hu Yi trusted his own judgment, and he said to the generals around him, "The cavalry of the Tang Army is indeed following and intercepting from the side of Liang County."

As soon as Ling Huyi came today, he found that the Tang army burned grain and grass by itself, and there were a large number of soldiers on the grain boats on the river, and the route of the Tang army's cavalry was even more strange.

Ling Huyi's left eyelid suddenly jumped, nothing went well, and the messy situation made his heart very irritable.

He stared at the fierce eyes, his head shook to the side, his neck made a clattering sound, and he looked coldly at the stranded sailboats on the river, and said, "Send people over to attack and kill all the people on board, and there will be no chickens and dogs!"

"Yes!!"
