Although Wang Jiazhen traveled day and night, but because of the rampant bandits on the way, he still arrived in Ruzhou a few days later than the day Xiong Wencan requested, but it doesn't hurt, after all, the current world is like this, the road is really not peaceful, and a few days later does not affect anything, according to Xiong Wencan's instructions, after he arrived in Ruzhou, only Zu Dale and Zu Kuan led the troops just arrived in Ruzhou, and Chen Yongfu of Kaifeng was still on the road and could not reach Ruzhou, let alone the Nanyang soldiers, who still did not set off in Nanzhao, as for Wang Shaoyu and Ma Rutian in Luoyang, even if it is in the Luoyang area, it has not been able to gather soldiers and horses to Yiyang until now, so whether this time the war can be carried out smoothly and wipe out the Xingtian Army in one fell swoop is still an unknown number!

Three days after Wang Jiazhen arrived in Ruzhou, Chen Yongfu led four thousand Kaifeng soldiers to arrive outside the city of Ruzhou, on the way Chen Yongfu also went very badly, passing through Xinzheng, encountered a group of bandits who gathered more than 10,000, wanted to attack Xinzheng, Chen Yongfu who passed through here simply led the troops in Xinzheng to defeat this gang of bandits, won a great victory of killing more than a thousand, after dispersing this gang of bandits, Chen Yongfu rushed to Ruzhou with the danger of victory.

After this battle, the morale of this Kaifeng army has risen a lot, quite a bit of a sideways walking feeling, after arriving in Ruzhou, there is actually a little conflict with Zu Dale's Guanning army who came here first because of the territory of the camp.

After hearing this, Wang Jiazhen hurriedly came forward, only to settle the unhappiness of the two armies, and after dividing the camp, Chen Yongfu's soldiers and horses were stationed, although on the surface Zu Dale did not care about anything with Chen Yongfu, but there was still a gap between the two people.

And just after Chen Yongfu led his troops to Ruzhou, the official army in Nanyang finally came with the news, saying that they had left Nanzhao County and arrived in the west of Lushan County, which was only less than a hundred miles away from Ruyang County, and the main general Feng Chun took the first step and took more than 100 family members to Ruzhou to listen to the order.

At the same time, Wang Shaoyu, the general of Luoyang, and Ma Rutian, the general of the staff, finally rushed from Yiyang to Ruzhou under the escort of Jiading, and listened to Wang Jiazhen's dispatch in Ruzhou.

Wang Jiazhen has just stepped down from the post of governor of the five provinces, and now is the time when he is not willing, and after the generals gather in Ruzhou, Wang Jiazhen can't wait, in the state capital, the generals who came to participate in the war this time were summoned to the lobby of the mansion, in addition to these generals who came to participate in the war, even the garrisons of several surrounding states and counties also rushed to participate in the meeting.

Wang Jiazhen first counted several major crimes of the Xingtian Army in public, and then appeased Zu Kuan and Wang Shaoyu, who suffered losses in Yongning some time ago, so that they don't have to worry too much about the defeat of the army, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, let them take this as a warning this time, act carefully, and lead their troops to shame.

Wang Shaoyu's face is thick enough, and his beautiful words are also powerful, and he patted his chest in public and promised that this time he would fight to the death with the Xingtian Army to overcome the lost ground! And Zu Kuan's cheek is not as thick as Wang Shaoyu, he lost enough in the battle of Liuquan Town, and the more than 2,000 Guan Ning iron cavalry he brought with him were lost by nearly half, and the war horses were also lost a lot, after a year to now, the soldiers and horses under his command have not been able to recover, and the lost war horses have not been replenished, and the Xingtian Army left a deep impression on him that day, so that this time he heard that he was asked to send troops to attack the Xingtian Army again, Zu Kuan immediately had the idea of wanting to avoid the war.

If it weren't for Zu Dale who led two thousand soldiers and horses to join forces with him this time, Zu Kuan really didn't dare to come to the Xingtian Army again, and now Wang Jiazhen mentioned his defeat in public, which made Zu Kuan very unhappy, and felt that Wang Jiazhen was really too faceless to give him, this was humiliating him in public, so he sat under Zu Dale and kept silent, and his face was also iron-blue.

After talking for a while, Wang Jiazhen said about the matter of suppressing bandits by several soldiers and horses: "Generals, the Xingtian Army is a disaster for Henan this time, and we are all ministers of the food monarch and Lulu, how can we sit back and watch this thief be so arrogant in Henan, and the newly appointed Xiong Supervisor attaches great importance to this thief, so he ordered this official to come to Ruzhou and personally command the suppression of this thief!"

Now that the Xingtian Army has newly entered Henan, although the five counties of Lianke have also made some noise, but after all, they are still a people's army, as long as we are of one heart and one mind, we will be able to exterminate them!

According to this official's investigation, there are no more than 10,000 Xingtian troops at the moment, but this time we have gathered nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers.

Therefore, this time to enter the army, I also hope that the generals must focus on the overall situation, must cooperate with each other, and must not retreat without fear of battle, or disrespect orders, otherwise I will be able to pass here, but I am afraid that you will not be able to explain it! ”

After hearing this, the generals immediately got up and responded loudly: "The last general is willing to listen to the dispatch of the adults!" ”

Wang Jiazhen majestically glanced at the generals in the hall, but in his heart was a different feeling, thinking that he took over Lu Xiangsheng to sit in the southeast after Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to supervise the military affairs of Xuanda Shanxi last year, but speaking of which, he was really a nest as a superintendent, these local generals, mobilized one by one to prevaricate, did not listen to his dispatch at all, even a small Yang Si rebellion in Wuyang County, he had to personally lead the family to suppress the appeasement, and finally under the cooperation of Zu Dale's troops, the Wuyang giant thief Yang Si was exterminated.

Now he was dismissed from the post of governor of the five provinces because of the unfavorable suppression, Xiong Wencan arrived after an order these people all ran over, it is really more popular than people, I think if these generals obeyed his dispatch, how could it make the situation in western Henan rotten to this point, think about this matter, Wang Jiazhen is angry.

But now is also the time to use this group of proud soldiers, although his official position is higher than these people, but after all, he is only a civilian official, but he can only count on this group of soldiers to contribute to him, so even if he is angry in his heart, he can only temporarily appease them and let them contribute to this battle!

Seeing that all the generals got up to answer the order, Wang Jiazhen's face eased slightly, and he began to discuss with the generals how to send troops to suppress the Heavenly Army this time.

For this kind of thing, the generals naturally have their own ideas, Zu Kuan and Wang Shaoyu are both defeated generals under the Xingtian Army, and naturally know the power of the Xingtian Army, so the two of them did not speak first, but just sat on the chair and listened to what the people said, and the garrisons of those states and counties had no say in this kind of matter, so they only listened.

Hearing Wang Jiazhen ask about their opinions, he got up and proposed to gather troops in one place, first to recover Ruyang County, force the thief army out of Ruyang, and then follow the pursuit, one by one to recover the counties occupied by the Xingtian army.

But for Chen Yongfu's opinion, Zu Dale got up to oppose it, Zu Dale on the way here, he had already learned from Zu Kuan in detail about the tactics of the Xingtian Army and their combat effectiveness, so relatively speaking, he didn't dare to be optimistic, plus he also understood the terrain around Ruyang in advance, knowing that Ruyang County has many mountains and forests, in addition to the relatively open terrain around the county, many places are not suitable for their cavalry field battles, once the troops are sent to Ruyang, it will be very unfavorable to the Guanning Iron Cavalry under their command, If you don't do it there, you will suffer a big loss like the battle in Willow Springs.

Therefore, after listening to Chen Yongfu's words, Zu Dale immediately stood up and objected, saying that it was not a wise move to attack Ruyang at the moment, the Ruyang thief army was the strongest, and the terrain was not suitable for their large-scale battle, so he thought that it was best to fight Yichuan first, and after recovering Yichuan County, he could first solve the threat of the thief army to Luoyang, and then gather troops in one place, attack Song County, cut Ruyang County out, and finally gather heavy troops to besiege Ruyang, and finally recover the counties in western Henan.

For Zu Dale's idea, Wang Jiazhen felt that it still made sense after hearing it, and he also knew the topography of Ruyang County, and after arriving here, he also learned a lot about the strength of the thief army in Ruyang County from the detailed work, and knew that this Xingtian army was different from other thief armies, it was by no means an ordinary thief, and it could be taken lightly, but it has fulfilled this thief army.

And Yichuan County is relatively flat, if you gather heavy troops to fight Yichuan first, it is a good way, the thief army in the case of no strong official army, should not defend Yichuan, in this way, you can also remove the threat of the thief army to Luoyang City, after taking Yichuan, and then hit Song County, Zu Dale This method is also quite good, so it is equivalent to isolating the thief army in Ruyang, and the thief army will not be able to stick to Ruyang in the case of being attacked on all sides, and will abandon Ruyang and flee north, At that time, Cao Wenyao on the Shaanxi side also happened to send troops to attack the Lu family, so that several large armies surrounded and suppressed the thief army, the odds of victory were still quite large, and the worst could force this thief army into a rogue army, once it was driven out of western Henan, it would be much easier to deal with!

After having Zu Dale's opinion, Wang Shaoyu also hurriedly nodded yes, to fight Ruyang, he will divide his troops to come here to cooperate with Zu Dale and Chen Yongfu to attack Ruyang, but from Yiyang to here, you must pass through Yichuan, you must know that Yichuan has now been controlled by the thief army, and from Yiyang to Ruzhou, it is necessary to pass through several rivers such as Luohe River and Yihe River. So when he heard that Zu Dale was the main player to fight Yichuan first, Wang Shaoyu immediately got up and agreed, so that he would have nothing to worry about from Yiyang to Yichuan.

And that Feng Chun has no opinion on how to fight, this time he led his troops to help the war, in fact, he knows very well that he is a supporting role, now Zhang Xianzhong is active in the Suizhou area, and he may go north to Jiangbei again at any time, they may threaten Nanyang, once something happens in Nanyang, he will immediately lead his troops back to Nanyang, so whether he can catch up with this battle is not something he is too worried about, so Feng Chun did not put forward any opinions on how to play this time.

These people discussed and discussed, and finally Wang Jiazhen agreed with Zu Dale's opinion, that is, to attack Yichuan first, after solving Yichuan County, and then to clean up Ruyang, in his opinion, gather Zu Dale, Chen Yongfu and Wang Shaoyu These soldiers and horses, together to attack Yichuan County, the thief army should not be their opponent, so if it continues, sooner or later the thief army can be driven out of the western Henan area, and then it will be able to give the imperial court a mission.
