The deep night sky was dotted with a few scattered stars, and the earth was pitch black. Most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, and only the soldiers on night patrol were still wandering around the camp. The lights were brightly lit in the big tent, and several soldiers were on guard.

A burning torch illuminated the small table extremely brightly, and four or five people gathered around the table to discuss this matter.

"General, it is reported that Ye Chonghua's men have captured the officers and soldiers blocking the road in front of Feng Kebin. However, Feng Kebin and others were not found in the valley. It seems that most of Feng Kebin's troops have broken through the officers and soldiers blocking the road behind them and returned to Dahong Mountain.

"Go up. Niu Erbao has already led people to search for it. I think we can find it in a few days." Qiao Chun said.

"Okay, this means that Feng Kebin and others are still alive. This is the biggest good news. Since he is still alive, he will be found sooner or later. Tell Ye Chonghua that after finding them, let them go directly to Yunyang without having to come back to join the army.

"

"yes."

"What has Zuo Liangyu across the street done recently?" Pei Xiaoer asked.

"Just as I was about to report back to the general, our spies reported that the old Hui Hui Huihui Ma Shouying, who invaded Sichuan a few days ago and captured Kuizhou, together with Guo Tianxing, Man Gypsophila and other five battalions totaling 30,000 people, have returned from Sichuan.

, they looted Guizhou, Yiling, Yuan'an, Jiangling, Jingmen and other places in the past few days, and arrived at Zhongxiang yesterday afternoon.

After Lao Huihui arrived at Zhongxiang, Zuo Liangyu and others locked the gates of the camp, and the camp was on high alert. Even the number of scouts who used to be around us was much less. They were probably assigned to monitor Lao Huihui."

"Lao Huihui has already entered Sichuan, why did he come back again?" Liu Changle suddenly said.

"I know this. Qutang is known as the east gate of Sichuan. You go upstream along the Yangtze River and arrive at Chongqing. To the south of Chongqing is Shizhu Tusi. Qin Liangyu, who is in charge of Shizhu Tusi, is not someone to be trifled with.

, Lao Huihui, they were probably blocked by Qin Liangyu and had no choice but to retreat." Pei Xiaoer explained briefly, "If we want to take Sichuan in the future, this Qin Liangyu will be the biggest obstacle to our Pei family's army."

Liu Changle came from a poor family, and his humble background naturally made him wonder who Qin Liangyu was who was far away in the southern tip of Sichuan. Pei Xiaoer also relied on the history that later generations knew, and then he knew that there was such a person, otherwise he would

Like Liu Changle, Gen had a dark eye on the situation in Sichuan and Shu.

Hearing that Qin Liangyu was praised so highly, Liu Changle became more curious and continued to ask: "What ability does this Qin Liangyu have that can make the general so afraid?"

"It's not fear, it's just respect." Pei Xiaoer pondered for a moment and then briefly explained to Liu Changle, "Qin Liangyu was named Zhensu, and her husband Ma Qiancheng was the hereditary chieftain of Shizhu. After Ma Qiancheng was killed, because of his

His son Ma Xianglin was young, so Qin Liangyu took charge of her husband's duties.

The territorial troops of Qin Liangyu were known as the white pole soldiers. In the first year of Tianqi, Qin Bangping and Qin Minping followed the commander-in-chief Tong Zhongkui to cross the Hun River and fight a bloody battle with the Qing army.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Qin Liangyu led his troops to King Qin in Beijing. Twice, King Qin made his white-poled soldiers famous and powerful in battle. At the same time, Qin Liangyu was also the mainstay of Shu. Sichuan has never seen any big fluctuations, all because of this

The Dinghai Shenzhen is holding up in Sichuan."

"So when we enter Sichuan in the future, we will inevitably have to compete with Qin Liangyu."

"Exactly, we must be careful when encountering her in the future, otherwise we will suffer a lot in the south."

"Well, I understand." Liu Changle nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject and asked: "General, are we going to attack Zuo Liangyu and others next? If we want to attack Zuo Liangyu,

Perhaps we can send someone to the Laohuihui camp to discuss with him. We are both rebels, and we may be able to join forces with him. It shouldn't be difficult to capture Zuo Liangyu."

"Mr. Qiao, what do you think?"

Qiao Chun was not humble and said directly: "I believe that if we fight Zuo Liangyu and others, we will be able to defeat Zuo Liangyu in one fell swoop. It is not impossible to capture Zuo Liangyu."

"Then you mean we attack Zuo Liangyu right now?" Liu Changle asked.

"No, on the contrary, my humble position does not approve of attacking Zuo Liangyu."

"Oh, why is that?" Pei Xiaoer looked at Qiao Chun with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.

"We thought we could capture Zuo Liangyu, but there was no need to capture Zuo Liangyu. We captured Zuo Liangyu because we had the strength, but there was no need to capture Zuo Liangyu because our goal was Hanzhong.

In Sichuan, Zuo Liangyu belongs to the Central Plains. We will definitely suffer losses if we capture Zuo Liangyu, but the benefits will not be much. On the contrary, we will benefit the rebels in the Central Plains. In this way, we will sacrifice ourselves to help others.

There’s no need to do it.”

"What Mr. Qiao said is exactly what I thought," Pei Xiaoer stood up and praised, "Although we are both rebels and those in the Central Plains, we have nothing in common, so why do we need to make wedding clothes for them? What's more, our people

Now we have penetrated deep into Hanzhong, at this moment

The prefect of Hanzhong will definitely ask for help from Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi. Once Hong Chengchou's soldiers arrive, it will be difficult for us to capture Hanzhong. Time waits for us, so there is no need to waste time here. Evacuate this place early and go back to fight for Hanzhong.

.”

At this moment, Pei Decai hurried over and reported to Pei Xiaoer: "General, something bad has happened. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, suddenly left Tanghe, and the soldiers are heading west to attack my Yunyang Mansion."

"What?" Liu Changle was shocked and asked hurriedly, "If Lu Xiangsheng has not been in Tanghe all the time, how could he suddenly attack Yunyang?"

Qiao Chun did not react as much as Liu Changle, but from the way he looked at Pei Decai, it could be seen that he was obviously uneasy in his heart.

"Why are you panicking?" Pei Xiaoer suddenly frowned and shouted, "Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army will not exceed 10,000 people at most. Wang Daozhi in Yunyang has an army of 20,000 people. Plus Junzhou, Yunguan are all Yi.

Lu Xiangsheng is afraid that it will not be easy for Lu Xiangsheng to capture the dangerous terrain that is difficult to defend."

Pei Xiaoer's calmness made everyone feel an inexplicable peace of mind, and their restless hearts gradually calmed down. Seeing that the others calmed down, Pei Xiaoer looked at Pei Decai and asked: "When will Lu Xiangsheng set off?"

of?"

"About five days ago."

"Four days ago? We could have arrived here in as fast as two days from Junzhou. Why are we reporting now? Is there any movement in the direction of Yunyang?"

Qiao Chun hurriedly said: "Back to the general, I haven't received any report from the direction of Junzhou so far."

"I think the messenger who came to Junzhou has been captured by the officers and soldiers." Pei Decai interrupted, "My news also came from Tanghe. The soldiers on the Tanghe side noticed that the officers and soldiers were acting abnormally, so they did not dare to be careless and followed them all the time.

After Lu Xiangsheng's army arrived at the boundary of Junzhou, it was confirmed that Lu Xiangsheng came from Yunyang, and then he reported to me non-stop, but it has been four days since he reached my hands."

"Never mind that for now." Pei Xiaoer sat on the chair, quietly looking at the map placed on the table, and after a while he said: "Lu Xiangsheng is quite capable, we can't be careless. No wait, pass it to me.

The general ordered the army to break camp and march north early tomorrow morning."

"General, please don't forget Zuo Liangyu and others. We suddenly withdrew our troops. This Tiao might take advantage of me and attack our army. We must be on guard!" Qiao Chun reminded.

"Zuo Liangyu shouldn't have the guts to attack our army? Isn't he afraid of Lao Huihui beside him?" Pei Xiaoer said disdainfully, "But what you said makes sense. We must be on guard against others. Let's still

I really want to let him go crazy. Song Meng."

"The end will be here." Song Meng, who had been silent for the whole time, clasped his fists and came out.

"You take the three thousand cavalry under your command to break up the rear. If Zuo Liangyu and others really come, remember not to fight them head-on. Contain them for three days. After three days, you can ignore Zuo Liangyu and directly lead the troops.

Just go north and meet me, do you understand?"

"The last general honors his order."

"Okay, everyone else will go back and tidy up. The army will set off early tomorrow morning. We have to rush back to Yun County as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
