Although Liu Deng and Pan Zhang's troops were only about a thousand troops, the march of more than a thousand soldiers, plus the accompanying carriages, was not small. Pinshu.com www.vodtw.com

One is because of the frequent wars and thieves in recent years, even the teenage children are used to seeing swords and soldiers, and the other is also because Zhe Rong worships Buddha, the villagers and people in Xiapi have been exploited by him for many years. They are poor, their families are surrounded by people, they have nothing left, and there is nothing to fear of being robbed. Therefore, the people are not very panicked. Most of them just hide at home with their parents, wives and children, closing their doors tightly. He didn't even hide, or climbed to the roof, or climbed to the mulberry flower in the middle, and peeped from a distance.

Chen Ji, who was chasing the soldiers of Xiapi County, quickly eliminated this group of enemies, and led the team to turn back.

After galloping back to the infantry's marching team, in order to facilitate the next battle, Chen ordered his subordinates to maintain the formation of the battle. Instead of following the infantry's rear, they moved forward on the infantry's flank. , Immediately, he came to the Central Army, found Liu Deng and Pan Zhang who were driving their horses, rode their horses with them, and gave Liu Deng a brief report on the battle.

"There are more than 100 thieves, and the fighting strength is not strong. Seeing us chasing and fleeing in a hurry, we have no fighting spirit. We are riding on foot, and the victory is very easy. Except for the two who suffered minor injuries, there were no casualties."

Liu Deng has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has no interest in this kind of small battle. After listening to Chen Ji, he only asked: "Is there any capture?"

"When the thief colony was escaping, he was caught by a stone and fell to the ground. The knight I, who was chasing him, was too late to restrain his horse and trampled him to death. Therefore, only two of the thieves' soldiers were captured. I have already interrogated him. After the two teams led them, they said they were soldiers of Xiapi County, but they were both from Xiapi, and there was no doubt that they were soldiers of Xiapi County. , a total of ten soldiers were deployed, mainly for patrolling and warning, and no other main combat troops existed."

Pan Zhang interjected and asked, "Are there Danyang soldiers?"

According to the military newspaper, Tao Qian had to send Danyang soldiers to help Zherong because he could not mobilize the Taishan soldiers. So far, thousands of Danyang soldiers have arrived in Xiapi in advance.

Chen Ji replied: "There are no Danyang soldiers. According to the leaders of the two teams, there are about two or three thousand Danyang soldiers in Xiapi. Except for about a thousand people who were sent to the north bank of Huaishui by Zherong, the rest are all staying in Xiapi. There are no Danyang soldiers stationed in Pi County and the counties south of the Huai River."

Pan Zhang laughed unconsciously, and said to Liu Deng: "The only people Tao Qian's troops can fight are the Danyang and Taishan armies. Today, the Taishan army has been slow to move. Not only did they all stay in Huaibei, but he also left two-thirds of their troops in Xiapi County, and there were only a mere 1,000 people on the north bank of the Huai River... This is Tao Qian and Zeng Rong's initiative to take Huainan, Huainan and Huainan. Do you give water to our army?" His tone of voice was full of contempt and disdain for Zhe Rong.

Liu Deng said, "I think it's because they didn't expect the Lord to send troops to attack at the end of the first month."

"Those two squadron leaders were braver than the bandit commander. When the bandit commander and bandit soldiers fled, they didn't escape. They each took five or six dead soldiers and returned to meet me in battle. They refused to go down, so I had to hurt them both, because they were both seriously injured, it was inconvenient to bring them back, so after I asked them, I ordered them to be killed."

"As a warrior, don't smash the corpse into the wilderness." Liu Deng turned his head and called two personal soldiers over and ordered, "Bring a few people and go and bury the two teams."

The two personal soldiers promised to bring their own people to do this, not to mention.

Chen Ji looked at the village far by the roadside and asked, "When I came back just now, I saw that there were people there who climbed trees and climbed trees, and looked over here. I think I knew that my troops were soldiers and horses in Guangling, ... Captain, How to deal with it?"

"Before sending out the army, General Xu, Le Xiang, and Xun Xiaowei repeatedly told us not to disturb the people and the remnants of the people. Nazarong has been poisoning Xipi for many years, and the people hated it to the core. If you think about it, you won't run to inform the bandits.  … It's a tip-off, can their legs run past us again? Let's just let it go."

Chen agreed to the promise and asked, "How to deal with the captured thieves' armor and weapons?"

"Leave a few soldiers here to guard, wait for General Xu and Le Xiang to arrive, and leave it to them."

"No." Chen immediately turned his horse and went to arrange for the soldiers to stay and guard to capture them.

Liu Deng and Pan Zhang heard the summary of the military situation before they sent troops, and said that some of the villagers and people along the border of Xiapi fled to the Wubi Manor. Those in the Wubi Manor are expected to have some family wealth, or some relatives with the owners of Wubi and the manor. Most of them were middle peasants and rich peasants, and as for the owners of Wubi Manor, needless to say, they were naturally the local landlord class.

After acquiring Xiapi, in order to govern the county and township in the future, the first thing you need to rely on is the local landlords. Therefore, there is no offense to the poor Qiu, unless they take the initiative to provoke Liu and Pan. Autumn is innocent.

As for the local landlords and gentry, although some believe in the Buddha, very few truly believe in it. They would not be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg. Therefore, although they saw Liu and Pan passing by, none of them blocked the way, and none of them thought about going to Xutai, Gaoshan, Huailing and other counties to report the news. .

On the contrary, it is the majority who are happy about it.

Because Xun Zhen's reputation as "a benevolent political county, treating scholars favorably" has long spread throughout Xiapi and even the whole territory of Xuzhou~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the current political, economic and social environment, the so-called "renzheng county, Treating the literati", in other words, is "not exploiting the landlord class, but at the same time preferentially treating the landlord class." If this is the case, why should those landlords and gentry act for the sake of their own interests?

In fact, in this attack on Xiapi, the Guangling soldiers are considered to be "disturbing the people and the disabled people", but as long as the disturbing and disabled people are not "landlords and gentry",

Even if the "grass people" in Xiapi are killed, as long as they can "preferentially treat the gentry", then, after conquering Xiapi in the future, they can still gain the support of the landlords and gentry, and can quickly stabilize against Xiapi. It was only because, as a person who was deeply influenced by the "worldview" of his previous life, Xun Zhen could treat scholars intellectually, but emotionally, he could not do anything to harm the people at the same time. Therefore, there was the military order given to Xu Zhong and Le Jin before the war not to "disturb the people and the remnants of the people".

Liu Deng and Pan Zhang led their troops to rush through the night, passing through Xutai and Gaoshan counties. Apart from destroying the three patrolling county soldiers in Xiapi, they had nothing to do with the villages and manors they passed. If you commit a crime, go straight to Huailing.

The next morning, before noon, the two led their troops to the outside of Huailing County.
