At the time of Yin, the wind and snow had stopped, and the fields were silent.

General Tu's warriors had finished their meal and sat quietly in the barracks, waiting for orders.

I gave a reward yesterday. Although it wasn't much, everyone was in a very good mood.

We are going to go to war today. This is an order issued last night. It is strictly forbidden to spread the word, and no one is allowed to go home now. Even if we want to spread the word, we cannot.

After a while, drums rang out in the camp, which was the order to gather troops. Everyone stood up one after another, took the equipment, and lined up outside the camp.

There was no trace of wind in the wilderness, and everyone exhaled white steam from their mouths and noses, standing straight.

The civil servants named them by the book, and none of them were absent.

General Tu's army commander Kang Yanxiao looked into the distance and waited silently.

General Tu was not his old army. He had not yet taken over the time to take over and had not established prestige. He was not sure what would happen during the war.

Today's war is not just their troops. In fact, the five yamen of the japanese army are going to be dispatched, some have already set out in advance, and some are a little later.

With so many people, a messy background and background, and not very strong desire to fight, can we really fight well?

Kang Yanxiao was not very confident, so he could only hope that King Xia would rule the tribes with his majesty of destroying 200,000 Liang troops.

Shao Shude actually got up very early.

He pushed Wang's soft and smooth body away, and after breakfast under Zhang Hui's service, he put it neatly, and then went out.

No turning back, no hesitation.

More than a thousand soldiers in Yin'an rode their horses to guard the left and right, and the group left the city in the dark and arrived at the military camp soon.

"Greetings to the King." Kang Yanxiao and Zhe Bu Tai stepped forward to greet each other.

"Are you all ready?" Shao Shude asked.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the king to give orders." Kang Yanxiao replied.

Shao Shude rode his horse and patrolled the front for a while, and the soldiers' eyes were staring at him.

"Everyone dismounted!" Shao Shude ordered after dismounted.

Yang Hongyin, deputy commander of Yinan, and Chu Shenping immediately dismounted. More than a thousand soldiers did not hesitate at all and simply executed the orders.

Shao Shude led his horse and walked first, and shouted loudly: "But follow me and take you to fight for wealth."

Kang Yanxiao was shocked and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to go everywhere to convey orders.

“But follow me!”

"Take you to fight for wealth!"

A loud voice echoed in every corner of the military formation.

General Tu showed a look of surprise, admiration and desire in his eyes.

It is almost the end of the year, and it is still necessary to march in the snow. It is false to say that there is no complaint. But the King of Xia leads his horse and takes the lead, so what else can he say?

This is our martial artist. We are happy, straightforward, go and fight for wealth!

Everyone looked at the golden drum flag.

Kang Yanxiao ordered an advance, and at the same time threw the horses to his personal soldiers and walked behind Shao Shude himself.

Soon, a long dragon appeared on the snow and winded into the distance.

The first person, holding the reins of the horse in his hand, was like a ball of red flame, walking on the vast snowfield one step deep and one step shallow.

The army set out silently!

*******

In the city of Yunzhou in the twelfth lunar month, every household was filled with joy.

The Xia thief retreated and they were going home for the New Year, which was really great.

The Tutuan villagers were released home and seized time to clean up their homes. It was the Chinese New Year and relatives walked around each other. If the home was too ugly, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

In fact, the happiest thing is them. Tutuan Township’s husbands usually have no money and food, and there may be a few melons in war, but they are pitifully few. The martial artists can also say that they are fighting for themselves, but who are they for? It’s okay if there are people in the family who are in the army, but no one is in the army, that’s purely a waste of effort.

The brothers Zhu Wei, Zhu Qiong and Zhu Qiong were also very happy and had a banquet at home to show their congratulations.

The pressure from Shao Zhe was too great, and tens of thousands of soldiers were pressing over, endless, making people extremely overwhelmed.

Ge Congzhou's Longxiang Army, Zhang Guibian's Guangsheng Army, Wang Tan's Shenjie Army, Liu Zhijun's Dragon and Tiger Army, and Zhu Zhen's Baosheng Army, had a total of 50,000 people to besiege Yunzhou. Behind them were Tielin and Feilong Army, and Shao Lun's Tianxing Army was peeping on the flanks.

If it weren't for Tielin, the Flying Dragon Army was basically under the throne, and Longxiang and other troops were not united at the same time, it would be difficult to kill them.

Fortunately, the end of the year was approaching, and the main force of Xia thieves retreated. Ge Congzhou and others also retreated to Cao under the clamor of the soldiers, and the two states of Shan were guarding. The war finally subsided.

It was a great thing that the Xia people had to repel the first encirclement and suppression. It was a great thing that we should celebrate.

"I heard that Shao Zhe took Zhang Hui to Guangchengze Tangchi for fun. I was so envious." Zhu Yu drank a little too much and smiled, "By the way Zhang Hui is also a beauty."

"Who said no?" Zhu Qiong also smiled and said, "Zhu Quanzhong was so heartbroken that he sighed like he was lost when he saw him. Unfortunately, it was a pity that such a beauty fell into the hands of Shao Zhe."

"Is Quanzhong in Weizhou? I'm so close, I'm afraid I've heard it." Zhu Wei took a sip of wine, smashed the bar and beat me twice, and cursed: "In the past, Quanzhong attacked my Yunzhou and beat me up so embarrassed. Such a villain without action would have to be treated like a villain like Shao Zhe. Now that he has lost his troops and his wife and daughter are not protected, I think he has any face."

"What kind of face does Quanzhong want?" Zhu Qiong shook his head and said, "I used to defeat Qin Zongquan to rely on Yun and Yan's troops to rescue each other. What's the result? I turned around and turned my back. It's really not a thing."

Zhu Quanzhong asked for help twice during his difficult period. Once, Li Keyong helped him defeat Huang Chao, and the reward was the Shangyuan Post incident, killing Li Keyong's three hundred confidants. Another time, he asked Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers, and the reward was the war between the three towns.

To be honest, everyone was very happy to deal with such shameless people, who wanted to be even more unfair, and everyone was very happy.

The Zhu Wei and his brothers were drinking and making fun of Zhu Quanzhong. The atmosphere became more and more lively. Soon they called the female musician to cheer up. After several rounds of wine, the three of them laughed and got off the court. Holding the female musician, the female musician started to play.

The personal soldiers outside the door were protruding their heads.

Zhu Wei laughed and cursed, and threw the two female musicians to their personal soldiers, letting them play by themselves, as long as they don't kill them. One of them was his concubine, and he would use them to entertain guests in two days.

What a "happy" scene!

*******

Liu Xiu led his troops on the way home.

Tuoba Renfu and the cavalry that Li Ren wanted to lead left first, obviously they didn't listen to his orders very much.

These people probably returned to Dizhou, a bunch of disasters!

The governor of Dizhou, Shao Bo, once repeatedly filed a complaint to the shogunate that Tuoba Renfu was wronged. However, the two bites him and accused Shao Bo of secretly colluding with Shao thieves, and recognized him as his father, and wanted to offer to Dizhou and surrender.

Wang Shuai was a little surprised, but Shao Bo was his father's old subordinate, so it was not logical. So he ignored it and sent only envoys to comfort him, but he did not punish Tuoba Renfu and Li Rengu.

I heard that Shao Bo was so angry that he couldn't eat, so he scolded him at home, and didn't know who he was scolding.

Liu Xiu was too lazy to care about these messy things, and he was just worried about his future.

"General Liu!" Several cavalry came from afar, and the leader shouted loudly.

Liu Xiu looked carefully and found that it was Yan Bao, the general of Yanzhou Yamen.

"General Yan is going to return to Yanzhou?" After the ceremony was completed one after another, Liu Xiu asked.

"It's time to leave. The soldiers are homesick and are eager to go back for the New Year." Yan Bao said.

Liu Xiu frowned and said, "I heard that Liang general Dai Siyuan was attacked by Xia thieves on the day of Zhengdan, and was almost wiped out. Does General Yan really think Xia thieves have left?"

In fact, most people really don’t pay attention to Dai Siyuan’s surprise attack by Qi Zizhang.

But Liu Xiu is different. He is a meticulous person and likes to plot every link of the war. What he likes most is to send people to disguise themselves and go deep into the enemy's back to spy on the enemy's situation before the battle begins. Sometimes, in order to obtain first-hand information, he even disguises himself as merchants and mingles into the enemy's territory to investigate.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with the Xia thief retreating his troops to go home for the New Year, but is this necessarily true?

Shao Zhe made great efforts to take the beautiful woman to the Tangchi for fun, which sounded like his style of conduct, but has anyone seen two of them with his own eyes?

Could it be that it is purely based on imagination? Subconsciously thinking that this is true?

"It should be true." Yan Bao said.

Actually, what he wanted to say is, it's all about my fault? Xia Zhe has withdrawn, and Shao Zhe has also brought the beauty to have fun. The soldiers have been on the war for a long time and are in a hurry to go home for the New Year. If I don't take them back, what will happen?

"Well, I'll say goodbye now." Liu Xiu didn't want to say much and bowed his hands.

Yun, Yan and Qing towns have auspicious support and watch over each other. This is the matter decided by the commanders of the three families. But Yun Town is the main battlefield, and the other two towns are all guest troops coming to reinforce, so it is impossible for them to stay here. This is the limitation, and no one can do it.

The army continued to move forward, and Liu Xiu continued to think.

Zhu Qiong, the governor of Qizhou, will lead his troops back to Qizhou in the past two days. Once he leaves, how many soldiers does Zhu Wei in Yunzhou have?

Yunzhen originally had 30,000 soldiers, but the Shaolun and Hegui rebellions caused considerable losses. A while ago, the besieged Puzhou and the subsequent series of battles lost some of their troops. Zhu Wei had tens of thousands of soldiers on hand.

In addition to the important peripheral strongholds, he now had to station troops and guard the troops, almost all of his people were concentrated near the city of the prefecture. The counties in Yunzhou were completely defended by Tutuan Township, but the end of the year was approaching and Tutuan soldiers were also returning home, which was very empty.

Liu Xu secretly worried about Zhu Wei. If someone raided, it would be very dangerous.

Not long after Liu Xiu, Yan Bao, Zhu Qiong and others withdrew, a large group of soldiers left Huazhou City and quickly went east along the post road.

They carried tens of thousands of horses and mules with their army, loaded with all kinds of materials and equipment, and moved forward non-stop.

Anyone who is familiar with it knows that this is the famous Flying Dragon Army in the Central Plains, with more than 16,000 people. Fast, light and fierce are their styles. They cut off people's food routes, conquered cities, fought in fields, guarded cities, etc., and they are all good. In addition to not being good at cavalry battles, they are almost all-round troops and have made great contributions.
