Tadun naturally would not stay in Hejian for too long, so he soon planned to go to Zhongshan.

Before leaving, Yuan Xi deliberately spoke out.

"Oh, by the way, please pay attention to the people of the Zhen family. The Zhen family is a big family in Hebei and a wealthy family. Don't kill the people of the Zhen family. Leave a living person, which will be of great use to us."

Yuan Xi reminded Tadun, but Tadun didn't know if he heard it or not. After waved his hand, he quickly withdrew from the camp.

Yuan Xi took a little action, and the Jinyiwei who had been ambushing here before was able to quickly pass the message.

Tadun's action was still very fast.

After all, I went to Zhongshan Country to rob, so I could give it to anyone.

What Tadun lacks the most at this time is food and grass.

He ordered 30,000 troops, 10,000 of which were Yuan Xi's infantry, and the other 20,000 were cavalry from various units of Wuhuan.

Holding a scimitar, he rushed towards the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.

When Tadun's troops arrived here.

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard had arrived in Zhongshan County in advance and told Zhen Yao about the news.

Zhen Yao also rode a horse a day ago, ran directly from Zhongshan to Changshan County, then walked back to Yecheng, and then passed Yecheng to Yangzhou.

Although there were still some people in Zhongshan at this time, most of them knew about the Hejian incident. Some people were already in a panic and were full of soldiers.

Some people also got the news in advance and took the whole family to the south.

Only some of the spies who were secretly lying here did not withdraw in time, and some garrisons were stationed in various counties, and they were ordered to station here to resist the enemy.

Once you escape, you will be the death penalty for escaping at the last minute. As a general, you will not leave so easily.

Although Zhongshan is very close to Hejian, because someone has revealed the news in advance, not many people who can be left here for Tadun and other Wuhuan people to rob.

Their speed was very fast, after all, they were cavalrymen. It took only one and a half days to rush from Hejian County to Zhongshan Kingdom.

After Zhen Yao evacuated a little early, only some county towns were left here. Tadun's troops were large, but it would definitely take time to attack various cities.

Without further ado, if you fight a small county town, one or two days of effort will definitely be needed.

Although there are not many small counties in Zhongshan Country, it is definitely not possible to occupy Zhongshan Country without ten days or half a month.

After Tadun sent troops, Xu Huang and Taishi Ci from Bohai County also received news at this time.

In Bohai County, Xu Huang was ready to fight with his 20,000 troops at any time.

Just waiting for the news to come from Hejian, when the news that the Jinyiwei general Tadun left Hejian reached the Bohai Sea.

Taishici and Xu Huang were immediately overjoyed.

The planned plan finally made Yuan Xi fall into the trap.

"That's great. Yuan Xi did take action against Zhongshan Country. Thanks to the Zhen family, they did not evacuate, which would definitely make Yuan Xi unable to bear it."

After the news came, Taishici was immediately excited and said something to Xu Huang, and wanted to lead the troops to attack Hejian with Xu Huang.

Although Hejian County was occupied by Yuan Xi's men, they had just captured Hejian County but were not strong enough. If they counterattacked, it would be very likely that Hejian County would be brought back.

Losing Hejian County means that this time, Yuan Xi went south to attack Jizhou, and Yuan Xi was in vain.

After hearing Taishici's words, Xu Huang nodded solemnly.

"Ziyi, right. Now we will lead the cavalry to take Hejian directly to see if we can directly kill Yuan Xi in Hejian County."

"God-Ming, let's wait. Our army only has more than 30,000 troops here. If you want to attack Yuan Xi, you are afraid that it will not be enough. How about waiting for the main attacking army to arrive before making plans?"

Taishici didn't trust Xu Huang enough, but if they were cautious, their rash move forward was indeed not very likely to win. After all, although Yuan Xi sent some troops to leave, there were still tens of thousands of people stationed in Hejian County.

It is mainly defense again, so it is quite difficult for Xu Huang to attack with a strong force.

It’s better to wait for Liu Zheng’s main force to arrive before making plans.

"Lord, the troops are still in Qingzhou now, and it will take at least two or three days to get here. We can afford to wait, but Yuan Xi and others may not be waiting for us."

Xu Huang hesitated for a moment and expressed his plans.

Time waits for no one, and the fighter planes on the battlefield change rapidly.

If you have to wait for Liu Zheng here, although the troops have increased, you will indeed have a greater chance of winning back Hejian County.

However, after delaying the fighter plane, Liu Zheng's main force arrived here, the news would definitely be known by Yuan Xi. Maybe Yuan Xi would send people to send troops like Tadun and other troops back, and then a tug-of-war situation would be formed.

After saying this, Taishici frowned.

"Then why not just do that. General, you will lead the cavalry to Hejian to surround Yuan Xi in Lecheng County. I will wait for the arrival of His Majesty's troops and horses to gather troops to support you at that time. What do you think?"

The soldiers and horses under Taishici were only more than 10,000 people here at this time, and they were all mainly infantrymen. Even if they wanted to go to Hejian County, they could not keep up with the speed of these cavalry under Xu Huang's command. It would be better to stay here and wait for Liu Zheng's army.

When Xu Huang heard Taishi Ci's opinion, he thought it was OK and nodded.

"Okay, then as you said, I will lead the cavalry first to entangle Yuan Xi, and then come to support me!"

After saying that, Xu Huang and Taishi Ci divided the work clearly. One side led 20,000 cavalry to Hejian County first, while Taishi Ci was stationed in Bohai County, waiting for Liu Zheng's army to arrive.

After more than ten days of long journey, Liu Zheng gradually rushed from Yangzhou to Jizhou.

After walking for a long time, the army had just passed Guangzong City and reached the Bohai Army.

After all, his command is mainly infantry. There are not many cavalry, and even if there are cavalry troops, they are all infantry marching, so the speed cannot be much faster.

This is not for support. It is just for the battle against Yuan Xi, which will be a protracted battle, so the speed of the army is not the main one, the main thing is whether the rear baggage team can arrive quickly.

Only when the grain transport officers in the rear transport the grain and grass to Jizhou first, can Liu Zheng's army gradually keep up. Otherwise, if the army arrives in Jizhou and does not have enough grain and grass to deal with it, that is also a terrible thing.

Now he has gathered 20,000 troops from Wenpin, 20,000 troops from Zang Baguan Hai, and more than 10,000 troops from Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Guangzong.

Including Liu Zheng’s own troops, the army has now exceeded 60,000.
