The two discussed carefully in the military tent, and before they knew it was already dawn.

In the vanguard army, Zhu Jianping was counting his troops and preparing to set off with his generals after breakfast, but at this time, Gao Tanglong asked him to go to the central army's tent.

The vanguard army was dominated by Gao Tanglong and Zhu Jianping as the deputy. Although the two had the same positions, Zhu Jianping had to listen to Gao Tanglong. Seeing his call, he thought there was something important to discuss, but he didn't doubt anything, so he followed the soldiers to Gao Tanglong's tent.

However, when entering the tent, Zhu Jianping felt something was wrong. Although he was not as strong as Gao Tanglong, he was cautious. Since joining Yang Tao's army, he has been responsible for escorting food and grass, preparing for the rear army, etc. This is also the reason why Yang Tao sent him to Gao Tanglong, in order to prevent Gao Tanglong from causing unnecessary trouble because of his eagerness for quick success and instant benefits.

"Guard Gao, I don't know what the hell is calling Zhu here?" Although Zhu Jianping noticed the difference, he did not expect Gao Tanglong to attack him, so he sat in the tent and stared at Gao Tanglong and asked him.

"Zhu Jianping, you and I are both Han court officials. You should know the word "loyalty and righteousness". Jiang He has committed a crime of unforgivable crimes that Jiang He has openly hijacked the concubines in the harem. We are ministers and we should eliminate these thieves for the country. I don't know what you mean!" Gao Tanglong said, narrowing his eyes at Zhu Jianping, but a trace of murderous intent spread in his eyes.

When Gao Tanglong heard Gao Tanglong's words, Zhu Jianping was subconsciously shocked. His left hand immediately held the hilt of his waist and wanted to draw the sword. However, his expression moved instantly, and he let go of the long sword held by his left hand. He sighed with a flash of expression and replied to Gao Tanglong: "What Brother Gao said is what Zhu thought, but why are there many elite soldiers and generals around the thief Jiang, and we are still powerless even if we have the will?"

"Oh, it turns out that you have the same idea as Gao, but Gao is troublesome." Gao Tanglong was half-believing and half-doubted about Zhu Jianping's statement, but because Zhu Jianping's words were not easy to do. If he was really a person who was willing to eliminate thieves and killed rashly, he would destroy his own troops. It would be hindered to eliminate thieves. He continued to speak to Zhu Jianping with a smile, "I don't need to worry about what Brother Zhu is worried about. Since there are other reinforcements working with us, as long as Brother Zhu can cooperate with us, the benefits of Brother Zhu will be indispensable in addition to Jiang thieves!"

"That's right, then Zhu is relieved! The big thing is expected. It's better to call the generals in the army to have a banquet and then send troops!" Zhu Jianping immediately said loudly with a very happy look when he heard this, but he proposed to Gao Tanglong in public to hold a banquet, which caused the generals in Gao Tanglong camp to discuss.

"Let's get rid of the banquet. When the Jiang thieves rescued a group of Han concubines, it's not too late for us to celebrate the achievements!"

"Okay, then I'll go prepare the troops!"

As soon as Zhu Jianping left the military tent, a middle-aged man walked out of the screen of the big tent. It was Feng Fang. Gao Tanglong saw him and hurriedly asked him: "Do you see if Zhu Jianping's words come from sincerity?"

"This is hard to say, but in case of precautions, Captain Gao also needs to send someone to keep a close eye on this person so as not to leak the news and be shot into the trap by Jiang He knows it in advance!"

"Then let's do what Director Feng said!"

Zhu Jianping, who had just left the central army tent with a laugh dozens of steps away, soon noticed that someone was following him. The expression on his face immediately became deep as water, but he thought that he had not noticed the person following him, calmly prepared his troops as usual and continued to follow the vanguard army to the west.

...

After several days of trekking through hundreds of miles of mountain roads, Yang Tao's army finally arrived at the first county town in Hongnong County, Xin'an County. When the army arrived here, they stayed around the county town. Because Yang Tao's identity as a captain in Xiyuan had not been truly deprived of the Hanting, with this identity, the army successfully took over the city defense of Xin'an County and the teleportation array were led by General Yang Tao.

It was eight days since they left Luoyang City. The civil strife in Luoyang City had long been quelled. Judging from the news from the direction of Luoyang City, Luoyang City had a dispute over the appearance of several Han troops such as Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan. A full martial arts movement has begun outside Luoyang City, and many famous generals and scholars are competing. In a short period of time, the civil and military officials in Luoyang City cannot figure out who is the soldier and who is the thief. Unfortunately, in this situation, Yang

Tao couldn't see it. He had to teleport the army, a group of prisoners and a large group of cars back to Yangzhou before the settlement of Luoyang City was settled.

Since Xin'an County is just a small county town, the number of people sent to the public is only 20,000 to 30,000 people every day, but there was no request for the chariots, Yang Tao asked 30,000 elite soldiers to escort thousands of large chariots to teleport back to Poyang County, Yuzhang County. Then, after leaving tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 10,000 prisoners to teleport back to Yuzhang County through the teleportation array of Xin'an County, he personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and let Gao Tanglong and others continue to advance westward. Without the burden of prisoners and chariots and horses, he arrived at another city, Zheng County, and occupied this city. After using the teleportation array of these two cities to speed up the time to teleport all the soldiers away.

But the situation happened just half a day after Yang Tao and others occupied Zheng County, and a huge change occurred, and a system message suddenly exploded in his ears.

"System prompt: A large-scale battle between the Han army and the rebels broke out within 50 kilometers of Zheng County. The teleportation array in Zheng County was temporarily closed and cannot be used for the time being!"

The system prompt sounded, but a surprised expression flashed across Yang Tao's face. His vanguard army was stationed in a mountain road 200 kilometers west of Zheng County. If there were Han troops coming from Chang'an, someone would definitely come to send a message. Why would a battle break out within 50 kilometers at this time?

"Report to the lord, Gao Tanglong, the Pioneer Camp, rebelled, and more than half of the 30,000 troops in the Pioneer Camp were subdued by him. Now Zhu Duwei is leading the remaining soldiers to resist Gao Tanglong's enemy soldiers and retreat to Zhengcheng!"

"A large group of Han troops appeared one hundred and fifty miles west of Zhengcheng, with a population of about 150,000, and was heading towards Zhengcheng!"

As soon as Yang Tao rode out of the inner city of Zheng County, a cavalry came to report the news to him. After hearing two unfavorable news, he was extremely anxious and hurriedly rode his horse to the west gate of Zheng City. However, he saw Xi Zhicai and others at the top of the city and couldn't help but ask them: "Where is Bo Cai? He is not a guardian of the West City Wall, where are he now?"

"Due to the sudden war, Xi had already ordered Bo to lead 30,000 elite troops outside the city to form a formation to meet Zhu Duwei's defeated army, and at the same time, it can be the horn of Zheng City to facilitate the resistance of the enemy's attack!"

"Bocai sent troops? Do you know the details of the Han army coming from the west?" With Xi Zhicai's arrangement, Yang Tao settled down, but he was still very confused about the origin of this enemy soldier, so he asked everyone. If the enemy troops who came suddenly did not even know the origin of the other party, it would be difficult to arrange the next battle to defend the city.

"I don't know, but we already have soldiers sent by the commander Zhu Jianping. From them, we know that Gao Shengping was instigated by Feng Fang to rebel. The tens of thousands of Han troops were either Hongnong County soldiers or from Chang'an. It can be concluded that Gao Tanglong knew the strength of our soldiers and horses. Since he had the courage to rebel openly, he was very sure to annihilate our army. Most of the enemy troops came from Chang'an, and there should be a large number of elite soldiers!"

"There are many large brigades around Chang'an. If they are really from Chang'an, the enemy will come continuously. Our army will be unable to resist here. We cannot defend Zhengcheng for a long time, and we need to prepare for evacuation early! County Marquis, you have lost all your strength now and are not suitable to command the battle here. It is better to lead the troops back to Xin'an first and leave 10,000 elite soldiers to defend the city!"

Xi Zhicai made suggestions to Yang Tao very cautiously, and Yang Tao also understood that the current situation was critical. What Xi Zhicai said might be the best choice. In addition, it was a fact that he lost all his strength, so he did not pretentiously insist on staying in Zhengcheng to fight the enemy with everyone. But he was a little confused about Xi Zhicai's practice of leaving only 10,000 elite soldiers in Zhengcheng. There were many enemy horses, and even with Bo Cai's 30,000 elite soldiers, Zhengcheng only had 40,000 elite soldiers. Is such a small number of troops enough to block the opponent's 100,000 army?

"Person marquis, please rest assured. Xi and Bocai Commander were not going to fight the enemy's decisive battle, but they would retreat after delaying them for a while. Then, they could ambush them with the mountains of Hongnong County. If they were to repel them, they would come to join the county marquis. There were 40,000 elite soldiers!"

Seeing that Xi Zhicai was so confident, Yang Tao did not continue to say anything, so he took the generals to prepare for the evacuation.

Two hours later, when a piece of smoke and dust appeared in the eyes of everyone on the city, Yang Tao had already led 10,000 troops in the city to leave from the east gate and retreat towards Xin'an City.
