At the same time, the northern part of Liaodong had already entered the Songmo Governor's Office and arrived at the Huangshui River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Liaoshui River. It was surveying hydrology and collecting equipment to prepare to cross the river.

"What, Lu Long's army was defeated? But it's true!"

Lin Ming, as a temporary general of the dispatched army, was also surprised:

"What is true is the letter that the brothers who followed Lu Long's army rushed out to report to the death..."

As the leader of the enemy's probe, Zheng Yi Damao said in a voice:

"Then, can you bring back the reasons for the defeat of Lu Long's army...?"

Lin Ming asked again:

"Among the brothers who escaped, there happened to be an observer who was ordered to follow the central army tent. However, he was seriously injured and was unconscious and is still under treatment."

Yi Damao responded:

"Then let me ask the Chinese medicine practitioners in the army if there is a temporary way to wake up the person and ask questions first!"

Lin Ming thought for a while and said decisively:

After a while, Lin Ming took a group of generals in the army and stood in front of the seriously injured person who had just used medicine and woke up slowly. After showing his identity billboard, he said in a calm voice:

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army. According to Article 53, Section 2 of the "Taiping Army" Battlefield, you will recruit and collect your temporary ownership on the spot with the most priority command sequence and on-time handling clauses. Now it is related to the urgent military situation and the success or failure of the people. Please tell me carefully about the Lu Long Army's experience..."

"Lu Long Army... was originally a thriving momentum. He was pressing against Raocheng... Songmo Mansion... the capital... in the low mountains... across the sky valley... and breaking several formations in succession..."

The injured observer slowly spoke with difficulty, but every word he said seemed to have affected the injury of being shot through his chest and abdomen, and he became intermittent when he endured the pain.

"It's just...before the decisive battle with the Khitan King's tent..., suddenly changed the course and summoned all the generals... said that Dong Xi was an insider... and could raise a surprise weapon... and take the king's tent directly..."

"The generals... were persuaded and acted cautiously... and ordered Liu Rengong's army to force the thunder cavalry... to force the thunder cavalry... to continue... to cover the killing to echo... However, Liu's army was gone forever... our formation was lost... in Raocheng... wolf crows and... inside and outside the king's tent... there was no one in the four fields. The ambushing troops rose up."

"Li Shuainai...at the city is facing each other, but the water source is already...the river canals are digging, and although they take turns to fight, they still cannot be defeated...the food and water will be over...and the left wing...the rear formation and the baggage team are not delayed."

"Shi Shuai Li... was the first to kill the soldiers overnight and forced his retreat. He fought and walked all the way back to the Beishan Pass... However, the right wing... Xi Xi, who was fighting, suddenly turned against the water... attacked the guards... the soldiers in the back camp of the mountain pass... burned and plundered grain and equipment, and robbed animals and horses."

"The retreat has come to this point. Behind the mountain... united... guarded and captured. The troops of all the troops were shocked. They rushed to flee. The road was congested. Silver gourds and the tyrants... and each other went their own way... Only Li Shuai's own formation... fought the palace behind the death... and asked us to run away to seek help..."

Speaking of this in one breath, the seriously injured observer suddenly used up all his energy and became weak and fainted again. However, these content alone was enough to allow Lin Ming to get enough information and conduct corresponding judgments. Then, he said without hesitation at the temporary military deployment meeting:

"At this time, we cannot retreat. We must continue to advance and seize this fleeting opportunity."

"What does the general mean?"

Li Yuyuan, one of the commanders of the dispatched army, couldn't help but say in surprise:

"It's over, so we can't give the Khitans a chance to break through them."

Lin Ming continued to say decisively:

"According to my order, all animals and horses will be concentrated with only fifteen daily rations; abandon the excess burden and all prisoners and captures, and hand them over to the auxiliary soldiers who followed up to take refuge, so as to speed up the advancement. Taking advantage of the interval when the eight Khitan tribes were still fighting against Lu Long's defeated army, they took the empty royal court and animal husbandry land behind them along Huangshui..."

"Where you pass, don't capture, don't seize it. Wherever you pass, you will kill all the adult males and cattle and sheep... Even if you can't win for a while or bury your bones in a foreign land, you must try your best to damage the vitality of the eight Khitan tribes and not become a place of border trouble for more than ten years. Do you have the determination to follow me to go to the trouble?"

"Eliminate the captives and only see peace..."

"The long cart steps on the edge and creates the power of heaven..."

The generals present showed some fascination, expectation and determination, and responded in unison: Therefore, the Liaodong Expeditionary Army, which had more than 10,000 people, soon in the accelerated marching, kept throwing away unnecessary objects along the way, and rushed towards another branch connected by Huangshui - Tuhuzhen River, the upstream Daqingshan Dongying and the Daban besieged city where the royal court was stationed.

Then, countless burial camps were left along the way, as well as blood-colored itineraries paved with livestock and corpses of strong men.

At the same time, the parade team where Zhou Huaian was also sailed along the old Caohe Road in Yunzhou in the territory of the Tianping Army and entered the rolling Yellow River waterway.

Of course, when the scriptures were not yet severely eroded upstream, and the surface of the Yellow River, which seemed a bit blue and yellow, as dim and turbid as later generations, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but make a poem excited and throw out another improvisation (plagiarizing celebrity classics):

"The Yellow River is in the nine heavens, and people and ghosts look at the gates of the gates.

The long wind roars and the high waves are blowing, and the sun is cold.

It is as steep as thousands of feet above Luliang, and as strong as Qiantang in August, it is straight down to wash the world.

Everything collapsed, and the peak was still idle.

Looking down on a dangerous nest, two swans pass by, but it is hard to climb.

What is the use of this danger in the world? The mysterious gods and traitors forever.

Without burning rhinoceros to shoot, it may not necessarily fly a strong shot, and it will be powerful to block the tide. It will summon the whale rider and over the silver mountain."

"Shuitu Songtou Fu Sanmenjin" (Song and Yuan dysfunction)

As a colleague, there were Zhu Laosan and others who came over to meet him. This was the first time they met again after many years after the chance encounter in Jiangzhou. However, the fascination and exchanges before this have continued for countless times. At least from a certain perspective, Zhou Huaian has already known and familiarized him very much.

In addition, his brother Zhu Cun calmed his cheeks and reconciled, and the atmosphere was liven up. So when he saw him again, he quickly became familiar and friendly from awe and restrained accomplicity and respect for keeping distance. He also brought a list himself, and almost all his confidants and confidants appeared on it.

Most of them actively responded to the Taiping Army's external expansion under the form of an affidavit, and expressed their willingness to do their best as a small leader; only a few people chose to take the wealthy family to reopen their daily life in the big cities designated by the Taiping Army.

In addition, there are some names known to the Taiping Army but not appearing on it. According to his obscure meaning, it seems that it will never appear again. He also completely handed over the dismissal and elimination work of the ordinary soldiers under his command to Zhang Juyan, who was in charge of Henan, and then ignored it and left it apart.

Therefore, the main ones that were able to be preserved were the former generals of the Eastern Capital Army who followed each other for many years and formed a relatively stable dependence relationship. There were about 3,000 people in total, and it was also the main armed forces that responded to the development of the outside world this time. Zhou Huaian was even more satisfied with this result.

At least if he is willing to set a good example, he doesn't mind giving him a relatively decent and preferential result in this time and space. Fang Ranha, it is impossible to continue to gain real power under the New Dynasty system, but in terms of overseas expansion, he is still relatively young and powerful, and can continue to exert some of his remaining energy.

Of course, with Zhou Huaian's parade team entering Hebei together, in addition to the Zuoying (2,000 members), the rank of the First Army's five combat battalions, there were also 47 battalions that were well-equipped and leisurely gathered from the Henan prefectures, about 35,000 troops; as well as the grain, machinery and materials required for the continuous operation of six months and more than 20,000 civilians were transferred to the husband's service.

When Zhou Huaian arrived at Daming Prefecture, Weizhou Prefecture, Cao Xiang, the commander of Tianping Army, who were stationed in the local area, and Zhuge Zhongfang, the governor of the Heyang Army, came to pay a visit. Therefore, after the next day, Zhuge Zhongfang, who was instructed by his father, got the position he wanted, and thus received a guarantee of wealth and honor as a senior senator in the bureau under Yang Shigu.

Cao Xiang was a little troublesome. He didn't want to continue to lead troops in the Xin Dynasty, but only wanted to do something on the frontier. Therefore, the reservation of the position of the Yingtian Ambassador of Liaodong Road fell on him. However, the current situation in Liaodong has not yet calmed down, and he has to prepare for a while before he can take office. Before that, he could only stay in the parade for a while.

In addition to these three peripheral and subordinate forces with the strongest strength and great strength, there are actually some small and medium-sized local forces that have been involved in fragments or have joined the Taiping Army. They also took this opportunity to visit one after another. However, they did not have such benefits and treatment; being able to escape freely and live a wealthy life in the designated famous city of Wangyi is the best result.

In fact, Zhou Huaian expects more negative examples who are ignorant of the current situation or are lucky enough to jump out, and then use this to implicate and liquidate the previous article so as to continue to contribute to the purifying local government and ruling order in the future. However, today the trend of unification is very obvious, and it becomes difficult to enforce the law when people deceive themselves.

As a warning to monkeys, the chickens killed many times along the way, resulting in the remaining "chicken" being lying down and being lying down, and would rather be exiled and exiled by the clan, and be placed in another place than to rise up to resist and do something deadly to struggle. This makes people feel a little embarrassed. Although the Taiping Army severely suppressed all reactionary and backward forces, it is impossible to make up the blame for them out of nothing.
