There is a saying in the art of war, so it is said that 36 plans are the best.

The bandits have always believed in this, so they can be free and comfortable to this day. If they have always fought head-on with the officers and soldiers, the grass on their graves would probably be very high.

It is because they believe in this that they will immediately apply oil to the soles of their feet and run away when they see that the news is wrong.

Now that they have encountered a crisis, they see that the wind is wrong, they are about to leave immediately. Few of them are thinking about confronting the government army. What they think is that even the most elite among them, Zhang Xianzhong, was killed. And those who are actually not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, can be opponents of the government army?

Moreover, the official army actually had the invincible general who defeated the Mongolian Tartars 200 years ago. How could they fight against it?

And until now they still don’t know which unit was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, who was the chief general, and how many people were? They couldn’t tell it clearly, but they knew that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and captured alive, and Guan Guan is now preparing to counterattack Fengyang.

So Gao Yingxiang and others sat down and discussed, and after a while, they couldn't get any good results, so they immediately decided to pack up the details and prepare to leave.

They decided to leave, but how to leave was another problem. They knew that there were troops such as Hong Chengchou and Lu Jiude in the north had gradually been suppressed, and there was another powerful man in the south who defeated Zhang Xianzhong.

The official army should have carried out a north-south attack, so they had no choice but to escape to the west.

This is also an experience they have gained from years of combat, that is, don’t fight against the government troops who are ready to fight. After dragging him down and dragging him down, then look for his weaknesses and defeat him in one fell swoop.

So when they heard the Liu family army pushing towards them quickly, these bandit troops immediately packed up and fled one after another.

If they knew that Liu Bu's troops had only more than 3,500 people, they would dare to fight no matter what they said, but because Zhang Xianzhong, the most powerful among them, was defeated and captured alive, they would not dare to find out who this powerful enemy was, and they had reached the point of fleeing after hearing the news.

Liu Bu and his troops set off from Anqing, passed through Tongcheng, Shucheng, and Luzhou, and rushed straight to Fengyang. Wherever they went, the bandits fled and regained three big cities, and their troops headed directly to Fengyang. Luzhou was Hefei in later generations. In the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Huaixi Road General Manager Wanhu Mansion was established in Luzhou, which belonged to the Jianghuai Province (the capital of Yangzhou,) Xuanwei Office (the capital of Luzhou,) Luzhou. In the 15th year, Luzhou was promoted to the road and established the General Manager, which was still Huaixi Road (the capital of Yangzhou).

In the late Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army Uprising regime established the Jianghuai Province in Luzhou in the Song Dynasty. In July of the tenth year of Longfeng, Luzhou Road was changed to Luzhou Prefecture and became the capital of the Jianghuai Province. Soon, the Jianghuai Province was abolished and changed to Zhu Yuanzhang in the Jiangnan Province established by Yingtian Prefecture (Nanjing City).

In August of the first year of Hongwu, Luzhou Prefecture was changed to the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and it was still under the jurisdiction of Hefei County. In the first month of the 13th year, Luzhou Prefecture was changed to Nanjing. In the first year of Yongle, Luzhou Prefecture was changed to Nanjing, also known as Nanzhili, and Zhili Nanjing (the capital of Nanjing).

Luzhou is an important city. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it was an important city that defended Fengyang Prefecture. It was under the jurisdiction of the Fengyang Governor and was an important town in Huaixi.

After the bandits captured Fengyang Mansion, the place was also in an embarrassing situation of a homeless land. As a result, when the bandits arrived here, they fled in sight, and a major town fell into the hands of the bandits.

However, this time the official army successfully conquered it, because even Zhang Xianzhong, who captured Fengyang, was captured alive, and his army was destroyed. Those who stayed here were some remnants of defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers. They heard that the official army was coming, and their souls were thriving and they fled one after another.

Liu Bu said that he could never have imagined that they would have occupied an important city so easily.

You should know that the status here is actually equivalent to the core area of ​​Anhui. In later generations, it was a provincial capital. They even occupied a provincial capital without a single soldier. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the bandits was also very low and very poor.

Originally, Liu Bu and the others threatened to recover Fengyang in one fell swoop, but in fact it was the slogan they shouted. He also made up his mind that he would stop marching immediately when he saw that the news was wrong. After all, it would bring great glory to the emperor's recovery of Fengyang, but at the same time he would face a huge counterattack from the bandits. The bandits had an army of hundreds of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of pigs came over, which was enough for them to drink a pot.

The unexpected thing was that when they arrived in Luzhou, they would actually have no soldiers. This greatly increased Liu Bu and his friends' confidence, making them think that this is the case with bandits. They were all greedy for life and fearful of death, and they would also have a low morale. When their morale was low, to put it bluntly, they were just a group of pigs. All the Liu family army needed to do was to drive them away.

It can be said that the Liu family army defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army and captured Zhang Xianzhong alive, which definitely defeated the morale of the bandits and their self-confidence.

You should know that the bandits are not very organized and not very strict, and they are all supported by morale and loyalty. When their morale is bad, they are close to collapse.

Liu Bu led his army into Luzhou gloriously and proudly as a liberator. He was extremely glorious and extremely majestic to accept the warm welcome from the local gentry in Luzhou.

You should know that there are bandits who have made the gentry very hard, and they are all tormenting to death. Now the official army has finally successfully fought back and recovered the lost territory, which has made the gentry feel liberated. They beat drums and drums and happily welcomed the official army into the army.

At this time, Liu Bu also understood the same thing, that is, your birth determines everything.

For example, wherever the bandits born by peasants go, they will definitely attack the gentry, will definitely rob the rich and help the poor, and will definitely rob the property of these tyrants as military funds and their food and wages.

This has caused the gentry and powerful people in these places to be tragic, and many of them have been destroyed by bandits.

However, this time Liu Bu's successful restoration of Luzhou made these gentry happy because they all knew one thing, that is, Liu Bu was born into a powerful and noble family, and was also an official family, and was with everyone, so everyone also regarded him as a member of the same place and warmly welcomed his people to successfully rescue everyone.

In fact, these people were not wrong in thinking this way. After Liu Bu captured Luzhou, he immediately issued an announcement on the people's peace, harshly ordered the army not to disturb the people. Not only did he not extort local wealthy people or snatch money, he ordered local gentry to organize a convoy to go to Anqing to transport grain to help local recovery.

The local squire filled their eyes with tears, and they said excitedly: "Finally, we are waiting for the official army to come."

The Liu family army has its own ambitions, so they have to force their own military discipline and are very strict, and they will never let their level be like ordinary government troops.

In fact, you should know that there is no difference between ordinary government troops and bandits. The most painful thing for the people in the local area is that after the bandits robbed, the government troops come to rob. Sometimes the people suffer deeply, and they are not divided into officers and soldiers and bandits. Both officers and soldiers and bandits are considered thieves, and the unlucky people are the people.

However, this time the Liu family army showed a unique side. After they entered the city, they immediately posted an Anmin notice. Their soldiers did not take the opportunity to disturb the people. They also quickly sent law enforcement teams to quickly rectify the law and strictly enforce the law and make the local area stable quickly.

The local gentry was very happy with the style of the Liu family army. This was the style of the royal army. Everyone praised it. The people automatically took the wine and meat to Liu Bu's barracks to reward the army.

Liu Bu knew that they were going to join the ranks of fighting for the world, and they had to win people's hearts. If they had been charged with a crime of buying people's hearts in the past, it would have been a death sentence. But now that they have decided to do this, there is nothing to worry about and are so scared that they can directly win people's hearts.

So Liu Bu did not refuse the kindness of the gentry, warmly received the gentry, and made a guarantee to them that they would definitely guarantee the safety of their lives and property, and ensure that they would not be hurt by anyone. If anyone hurts them, they could ask for help from the Liu family army, and the Liu family army would stand up for them.

The Liu family army's statement made the gentlemen happy, and they found the organization, and the place was in chaos, and now it has finally recovered. This is the place where these gentry are happiest, most looking forward to and eager for.

Moreover, the Liu family army was so kind to the people, and did not violate the people at all, and was strict in military discipline to the local area and did not do anything to hurt the local area. Everyone was very happy and happy and asked the Liu family army to stay here for a long time.

Liu Bu flatly refused, and he said, "I am a general of the court. He went to recover Fengyang, Zhongdu, under the order of the court. How could he be greedy for life and fear death and be in a corner?"
