Li Zicheng stayed in Yuci for a total of three days, collecting 38,000 rebel soldiers. Cooperating with his previous troops, he gathered a total of 60,000 troops. It felt like it was almost done, and he would not say that he would collect few people if he stayed there.

The officers and soldiers in Taiyuan City were about to chase them out, so Li Zicheng immediately led his troops south and headed from Qinzhou and Lu'an Prefecture.

The rebel army's defeat at the city of Taiyuan quickly spread to Jiexiu Liu Changle's ears with the sound of the wind. Liu Changle was shocked to get the news and understood the importance of this time. He immediately sent someone Hoshino to spread the news to Pei Xiaoer of Anyi.

In the ears.

Pei Xiaoer never expected that the situation would deteriorate to this level in an instant. The rebel army was defeated in Taiyuan, which means that the officers and soldiers in Taiyuan were liberated and would be rushed south at any time. At that time, Hong Chengchou, a fierce tiger, was eyeing him, and another one came from the north.

A vicious wolf is waiting for an opportunity to move, it is really a critical survival.

Although the life and death of these rebels in Taiyuan is irrelevant, they are defeated in a bad way. If Pei Xiaoer defeats Hong Chengchou again, then Pei Xiaoer's situation will be much better than now. Now, the old thief Hong failed to hit the attack.

Then he hurried in Puzhou and did not move.

No matter how the Pei family army tests and lures them, they want to transfer Hong Chengchou out of Puzhou first. However, Hong Chengchou was as if he stuffed his neck into a turtle shell and practiced the method of shrinking the turtle. But he couldn't let the old thief leave it alone.

,He is now like a poisonous snake, waiting for a good opportunity.

A thought arose in Pei Xiaoer's mind, and he immediately extinguished him. It is not as late as possible, and everything is still in time.

Pulling Liu Zhizu on the side, Pei Xiaoer said: "The rebel army in Taiyuan is defeated, and the officers and soldiers will go south at any time. I am afraid that Liu Changle and Wang Daozhi will not be able to withstand it. I will go and see, and I will send someone to inform Zhang Zhiyuan here.

If you are the one who is the main one, I will hold Hong Chengchou back. Even if I can't kill him, I can't let him step closer. Do you understand?"

"I understand, please rest assured that the general. Even if I die, I will block here and prevent Hong Chengchou from furthering." Liu Zhizu's words were loud and loud.

Pei Xiaoer didn't say anything, patted his shoulder, and then left overnight with his personal soldiers and cavalry.

During this period, the cavalry of the Pei family army grew rapidly. Is there any horse? Including the 3,000 war horses seized from Huqi Mountain last time, as well as the original seven or eight hundred, plus the scattered purchases on weekdays and

The war horses seized on the battlefield and those who died in battle must be counted. The Pei family army can now collect a total of 4,000 war horses.

So many war horses first equipped their own military camp with a thousand horses, so that now the 1,000 people in the personal military camp have all turned into cavalry. The remaining war horses came here this time, Liu Zhizu and Zhang Zhiyuan each sent 1,000 horses, and they were respectively

One thousand cavalrymen were formed. In addition to infantry, the size of the two men now reached ten thousand.

Xu Tianfeng was the cavalry general on Liu Zhizu's side, but there was a cavalry general under Zhang Zhiyuan's troops who didn't hear much. Speaking of which, Yuan Yan was also considered an old man in the army. Since attacking Guojiazhuang,

Yuan Yan joined the army. Later, due to Pei Xiaoer's trust and the man's talent as a cavalry, he was transferred to Song Meng by Pei Xiaoer.

On the one hand, it is his own wish, and on the other hand, it is also his supervision of Song Meng. Now that Yuan Yan has been promoted to this position, his years of hard work has not been in vain.

The remaining two thousand cavalry were led by Song Meng, and formed a cavalry battalion alone and followed Pei Xiaoer northward.

When Pei Xiaoer led a group to Wenxi County, Liu Changle, who was in Jiexiu, heard new news that there was a large rebel army in the north, Gao Yingxiang's troops, who wanted to take advantage of Pingyang Prefecture and pass through the Pei Family Army Governor.

Go to Henan and ask Pei Xiaoer if he let him go.

Pei Xiaoer hesitated for a moment and chose to agree. He is still in the relationship with the rebel army and his allies, and he has offended all the rebel army to death. As the great man once said, politics is to make the enemy small and make friends

If you do a lot of work, you still have to do some superficial work.

However, in order to prevent Gao Yingxiang from burning, killing and looting in his own jurisdiction, Pei Xiaoer also ordered Pei Zhuer and Zhuer of Linfen to go north from Pei Zhuer's army in Linfen to meet Gao Yingxiang's army and to support Gao Yingxiang's army and to promote Gao Yingxiang's army.

Escorts out of the country, in fact, just watch him and don’t let him make trouble in his territory.

Pei Zhuer has been repairing in Linfen for more than a month. Although his body has not yet fully recovered, he has no time to recover now, so he can only let Pei Zhuer drag his sick body and insist on going north.

At the same time, Pei Xiaoer ordered Wang Daozhi's troops who were making a strategy in the east, ordering him to stop attacking immediately, and the entire army was preparing for war. While paying attention to the situation in the east, he was ready to go north to support Jie Xiu at any time.

After all this was deployed, Pei Xiaoer asked Liu Xianchun beside him: "Zhongfang. Look, what do you need to add?"

"The arrangements of the general are foolproof, but there is nothing to add to the humble position. Now, our army can only respond to changes in a constant manner and wait for the officers and soldiers to take action." Liu Xianchun thought for a moment and said.

"General, I don't know if I should say anything about it or not?" At this time, among the civil servants, one of them suddenly flashed out, came to the center, bowed to Pei Xiaoer and said.

Pei Xiaoer was a little stunned and looked closely. It turned out to be Qiao Chun, the former magistrate of Anyi.

Since Qiao Chun surrendered to the Pei family army, he has been responsible for the public security issues under his rule. However, he, the "Secretary of the Ministry of Justice", did not have a soldier, so he basically couldn't do anything, but he didn't care. He went to work and went straight to get off work every day. , after eating but not drinking tea, it was still purified.

However, this time Qiao Chun couldn't help but blurted out, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"What's wrong with you, but it's okay." Pei Xiaoer waved his hand generously, and a habitual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking extremely respectful to the virtuous.

"Then you are brave enough to speak out." Qiao Chun paused for a moment, organized a few words, and then said, "Dare you ever asked the general, are you confident that you will survive this encirclement of the officers and soldiers?"

"This..." Qiao Chun's words surprised Pei Xiaoer. However, now that the enemy is facing the enemy, even if they don't have confidence, they must pretend to be confident, otherwise the people below will disperse.

He said, "Of course I have confidence, what do you mean?"

"So, may I ask the general, are you confident of surviving the next encirclement?" Qiao Chun asked aggressively.

Pei Xiaoer's face slowly sank and said with some disgrace: "If you have anything, please be honest, don't be so sloppy."

"Yes, the meaning of humble post is that since the civil unrest in Shaanxi in the first year of Chongzhen, all the righteous army has been running around to avoid the encirclement of the court and seek a place to survive. Are they all stupid and do not know how to stay and develop their power?

The army against the imperial court? No, that's not the case. They just couldn't survive the repeated encirclements and suppressions of the imperial court, so they took a helpless move.

Now, our army's general Lai Zong genius has developed to such a state of mind in just a few months. If it continues to develop at the current speed, in time, our army will be able to overthrow the dynasty and reshape the sun and the moon, and the dynasty has not yet changed.

No,

However, now, our army's development time is still short, and both its strength and population are far from that of the Ming Ting. With the current situation, it is not enough to survive the repeated encirclements and suppression of the court. Since this is the case, our army has been very different from that of the people.

Why not take a different approach to save the nation and survive.”

"How to save the nation and survive? Let's say it clearly." Liu Xianchun interrupted.

"Yes." After Qiao Chun saluted Liu Xianchun, he continued, "I think that since our army can no longer survive the encirclements and suppressions of officers and soldiers, it means that the time for our army to defend one place is not yet ripe.

Why do other rebels go to a foreign land to avoid the encirclement of the court?”

"You're just talking nonsense."

"This man was spraying feces all over his mouth, so please ask the general to give this man out."

"If our army evacuates, then the hard work of several months will be in vain, will the people under our command be left to the court and let the court slaughter?"
