Li Yan also sent troops out of the city an hour after Liu Zeqing left Zhaozhou, because there was Liu Zeqing's army in front of him, he was happy and comfortable humming all the way slowly, taking a break for ten miles, drinking horses for a rest for twenty miles, and even bothering to explore the horses, and ordered to camp and rest in the middle of the night.

At dawn, it was reported that Liu Zeqing and the thief army were fighting in front, and the fight was difficult to solve, so Li Yan ordered his general Yan Qi to lead 2,000 cavalry to support, and the rest of the main force did not move.

But said that Liu Zeqing gritted his teeth and fought with the thief army, seeing that there were more and more reinforcements from the thief army and there were displaced people to help the war, he was a little anxious, and secretly scolded Teng Xiangwei for really wanting to see death and not save him, and when he raised his eyes and saw that Teng Xiangwei in the northwest was being chased by the thief army, he was puzzled, but when he heard the cheers of his own soldiers, he turned his head and was overjoyed.

Wang Genzi and Wu Ruyi attacked Liu Zeqing from behind, and joined forces with Gu Kecheng to attack the front and back of the officers and soldiers, but when they didn't want to kill to the most tragic time, they killed another team of officers and soldiers behind them, although there were only more than 1,000 people, but they were all cavalry, and when he was tired and demoralized, how to resist.

Almost at the moment when Yan Qi led his troops to kill, the thief army was defeated. In the distance, Zhang Nai sighed in his heart, and he was weak to return to the sky, so he ordered the whole army to retreat in a hurry.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the thief army coerced the displaced people to retreat into Gaoyi County, and Liu Zeqing led his troops to take advantage of the situation to kill and cross the river to occupy the camp of the thief army, and had to search and plunder.

At this time, Liu Zeqing rode a horse to inspect the camp on the riverbank, although his eyes were tired, but his eyes flashed, he said first, the income does not need to be handed over, there are a lot of materials in the camp of the thief army, and when he escaped, he was in a hurry to take them all away, and the soldiers under his command were naturally overjoyed, and suddenly felt that the hard work they had suffered recently was worth it.

That's the first thing! Liu Zeqing had a smile on his face, silently reciting in his heart, raising his eyes to look due north, and did not see Teng Xiangwei's figure, but Li Yan's cavalry a few miles away in the northeast dismounted and rested and did not enter the camp, feeling a little proud in his heart.

After a little rest, he sent a team of 3,000 cavalry south to chase the thief, and the rest of the main force rested until noon before setting off, after all, the men and horses did not sleep last night and a battle in the early morning, which was also the end of the crossbow.

Li Yan reported that Liu Zeqing had defeated the thieves in one fell swoop in the camp dozens of miles away, occupied the enemy camp to rest and recuperate, and sent a cavalry to chase the thieves, so he smiled slightly: "We will pull out the camp at noon" and ordered Yan Qi's vanguard cavalry to always follow Liu Zeqing not far behind, not more than ten miles away.

More than ten miles to the north, Teng Xiangwei's men and horses lay in the field for a large area, they were so tired that they had not slept all night and fought two games in a row, although the battle in the early morning was just a flag and shouting.

Cheng Mingxi's eyes were red, and he had to report that Liu Zeqing had occupied the enemy camp and plundered all the baggage, and his subordinates were all angry, and they all asked to go and get a piece of the pie, but they stopped him, and the ant legs sent him to ask for food, otherwise how could this old beggar work so hard. The generals were confused and didn't know what they meant, Cheng Ming smiled and didn't say anything, he was good friends with Chang Yu, and he got a secret order from an early age: let Liu Zeqing open the way in front of him......

When Chang Yu learned the news of Liu Zeqing's defeat of the thieves in the early morning, it was almost noon, and the soldiers in the camp were full of water and food, or chatting or herding horses in the field, a leisurely scene.

"I just did it all night without stopping, Liu Laogou was so desperate" Huang Degong was dumbfounded, and all the generals were stunned, and Zhou Yuji smiled bitterly: "I didn't fight so hard when I was chased by thieves in Dingzhou" Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Muxian said with a smile: "If Liu Zeqing knows that the adults are planning against him, I don't know what to think in my heart."

Chang Yu snorted coldly: "Then he can only blame himself for being greedy and wanting to take advantage" The generals echoed one after another, which shows that Liu Zeqing's character is inferior and unbearable.

Then Chang Yu gave an order, pulled out the camp at noon and sent troops south, and ordered Zhou Yuji's subordinate generals Niu Yong and Li Chengdong to lead more than 10,000 troops to replace Teng Xiangwei as the vanguard and follow behind Liu Zeqing's troops.

How did Liu Zeqing know that he was being calculated by Chang Yu and others at this time, even if he felt that something was wrong, but after eating lard, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make a big profit, and he was worried that other people would come to grab the credit.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Zeqing ordered the camp to quickly pursue the enemy, and the previous report that the thief army had fled to a large river more than ten miles south of Gaoyi City and set up a defensive line.

Liu Zeqing decided to break his defense line before dark and chase after him, he believed that at this speed, he would be able to catch up with Li Zicheng in two or three days, because Li Yan had previously told him that Gao Jie was setting up a defense line in Shunde Mansion at this time, and he would not be able to pass through the thieves for a while, which was one of the reasons why he was so bold suddenly dared to chase down alone.

Liu Zeqing won the first battle, and his confidence skyrocketed, thinking that the thief army was like a lost dog at this time, and he only needed to break through its rear defense line step by step, and Li Zicheng's main force became a bag.

Is it really that easy?

At least Gao Jie doesn't think so.

Gao Jie ordered the transfer of troops in the city of Shunde Mansion to Ren County last night, and there were less than 2,000 men left to defend the city, so he decided to gamble that Li Zicheng would go south from here.

Ren County is forty miles northeast of Fucheng, it is the land of projectiles, and Liu Cheng has been sent to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed here, at this time, the army came to instantly squeeze the city to the water, and the people in the city have already been cleared by Liu Cheng.

Gao Jie was an unruly man, and there was no good stubble under his command, and the means of clearing the field were simple and rude, telling him that there was a war in the near future and then forcibly driving him out of the city, and the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and went out of the city to the south to avoid trouble.

Forty miles, the army walked all night, and entered the city at dawn to rest, at this time Liu Zeqinggang and Zhang Naigu Kecheng's palace descendants on the northern line began to fight.

Gao Jie entered the city, Liu Cheng came to report, a moment earlier, the scout had encountered the thief army's scout horse more than ten miles away, and there was a thief army camp twenty miles away, and the scale could not be seen by the thousands.

Thousands of scales are obviously not the main force of the thieves, Gao Jie knew that he was the pioneer of the thief army, and he laughed secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu was still right, at this time, there was a scout to report, twenty miles northwest of Ren County, a large number of thieves were found to be about 10,000 people, and they were marching in the direction of Fucheng.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Gao Jie climbed the city and looked into the distance, and he could vaguely see several fast horses running around in the reckless wilderness, knowing that the scouts on both sides were trying to infiltrate the other's sphere of influence.

"My lord, do you think the thief army will be in the middle of nowhere?" Liu Cheng asked on the side. Gao Jie pursed his lips: "Do you still know that the sound is striking the west?" Tell me how he hits? ”

Liu Cheng smiled: "I understand a little!" I think that the thieves are very likely to be near Zaoyao County at this time, and the two groups of people and horses going south are his vanguards, and there are more people who go west to Fucheng, so it is possible that the thieves will find out that the main force of our department is over there, as for the thousands of people and horses in front of them, there is no doubt that Benren County is coming......"

Gao Jie rolled his eyes, "You know all these Lao Tzu you said, so Lao Tzu asked you how he hit the West?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said, "These two groups of people are here to deal with us, but as for which side he is going, it is still unknown, but he is thinking that on the surface, these two roads of people are going to break through the defense line or block us to open the way for the thieves, so will the thieves really go from these two places?" ”

Gao Jie was stunned: "You mean the thief will escape from the third way?" As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you scream and attack the west, isn't this a dark granary?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, that's pretty much it," Liu Cheng's face turned red, and a henchman beside Gao Jie said in a low voice: "My lord, the dark Chen Cang is not a granary."

Gao Jie touched his nose: "Anyway, it's a fucking warehouse, it doesn't matter if his surname is Chen or his surname is grain" said and frowned: "You all think about it, if the thief doesn't go from Fucheng or Ren County, how can he go over and fly over?" ”

Recently, the plot has progressed slowly, mainly because this war involves a wide range of characters and many characters, and a person who shows his face will take up one or two pages, and now it is Gao Jie's turn to appear, and the plot of the two chapters of Zhizhou will be accelerated.
