Henan Province said urgently that Wang Duanchen, who was going out to patrol the local area and arrange the enemy.

"Congratulations to Duan Shuai..."

The personal soldier in charge of contact reported in a low voice with uncontrollable face.

"The Huaibei Dahe boat troop from the downstream has arrived near Heyang Beiguan,"

"The rest of the troops are stepping up loading and unloading,"

"I guess it's not as big as 30,000 to 40,000 stones, and there are many canned foods, salt, vegetables, clothes, quilts, and wine..."

"At least in the next few months, everyone will have enough food and clothing."

"It's only been three days. It seems that that person... is really interested."

He controlled the horse's head and temporarily stayed away from Wang Duanchen, who had been following his relatives, sighed in a deep voice again

"It's been a long time since the boys, so I've had a good meal..."

"In this way, I can let go with peace of mind and don't go."

"But before leaving, I will leave the last military order... so that you will continue to make things difficult for you."

"In this way, no matter whether you go or not in the future, you can make your own choice..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the familiar mountains and rivers in the north with deep eyes, feeling a little sad.

"I just hope everyone will take care of themselves... Maybe it will not be that easy next time we meet."

.........

With additional budgets and charts for war investment, they were sent to Huai land in the rear.

Under the flags that covered the sky and the sun, the rolling army forces formed into countless large and small military formations were like gray iron streams spreading across the wilderness and rushing westward.

The large group of troops, including most of the First Army and some of the inner guards who set out again from Youzhou, passed through states and cities after city. Without any stop or blockage, even the "representatives" who came out to greet each other only saw each other during the march and said a few symbolic and beautiful words in a hurry.

Because it was a large number of chariots, horses and animals used for transportation, and the light marching along relatively intact roads in the plains, the slow-speed brigade of supplies followed up, so it took only two days to arrive at Dingzhou/Zhongshan County (now Dingzhou City, Hebei), which was adjacent to Zhenzhou (now Shijiazhuang, Hebei).

The attack army from behind the mountain launched an attack on the enemy in Zhenzhou, which had already begun before I arrived. Therefore, after I arrived, I received news that the attack army commander Zhang Xian, personally led his troops to the three cities of Quyang, Xingtang and Cigu, north of Zhenzhou.

However, Zhenzhou is a rare prefecture after all, and its area and household registration are not comparable to other places. It also has the guards, cities and villages left over from the vassal era, and the Jingxing natural danger of the eight paths of Taihang. The closer it is to the west, the more mountains and hills there are, so it is not so easy to take them down at once.

However, in addition to increasing the pressure of military siege, I also have the need to launch a political offensive. For example, I met some Hebei generals who had transportation under Zhang Bangchang's command nearby, and gave them corresponding conditions and promises.

After all, some things require my own personal statement to be more effective and persuasive; or they can achieve the result of oppressing the other party.

In the original Hebei pacification charter, there was no such plan or plan, or there were similar plans but they were placed on the most backward choice; although it seemed simple and easy to recruit rebels, it would leave many sequelae and troubles; it was far from being able to push the past by relying on its advantages and strength, and then slowly sorted out the residual impact in the local area.

However, the Tongguan defense line, which the Huai Army has been working hard to support, collapsed due to the back attack of the Han army in Northeastern Hebei. Under the huge risks and crises of the Western Army's large-scale advancement in Guanzhong, it can only use rights and interests to solve the worries on one side first, and then concentrate on dealing with the crisis and troubles in the west.

Fortunately, due to the long-term transactions of various secret songs and famous products, there is no lack of channels for internal negotiation with the Hebei Army. So, at Kaiyuan Temple in Anxi City, Dingzhou, where I temporarily stayed, I saw the results of the first secret front-line activity.

"You are Qin Ming, the Thunder Fire?"

I looked at the general who was not tall but had a very thick hand and broad face, and was considered an old friend from Liangshan in the past. Although he may not remember the traces of my existence, he did not expect that the first person to surrender would be him.

As the only three generals of the firearms troops under Zhang Bangchang, after the army that was beaten by Zhang Xian in the battle of Songzikou in the back of the mountain, he was able to escape with a group of confidants. He should have persisted until the end of his life.

However, he took the initiative to leave the troops he controlled and surrendered alone. It seemed that the situation under Zhang Bangchang was really bad, so he thought that the backbone and core generals of the army who only had one of the three masters of the firearms were going to have different ideas and find another way out.

"It's the villain..."

He said with a low attitude.

"Then tell me what you know."

According to his words, although Zhang Bangchang prepared and accumulated a large amount of food, grass, and equipment in Zhenzhou, Hengzhou and other places, and made a stance to be prepared to resist to the end, in fact, the morale in the local army was already depressed and conflicted;

Especially between the retreating foreign troops and the local cadastral army, there are also great differences and contradictions in the allocation of materials and the replenishment of soldiers, and in their attitudes and positions against the enemy. It is only the pressure from the outside that has forced them to temporarily join in a group.

"What do you want when you do this..."

I looked at the other person with deep eyes, as if I wanted to see through his details and intentions.

"I just want to protect some things in the hopeless future."

He continued to express his sad expression, and his humble attitude was hard to imagine. This was once a person who was once a person who was known as the fierce wind and fire on the battlefield, which made the four rebels and bandits scared.

"Then I'll just ask for a way out for my subordinates."

“Is that just that…”

I continued to ask without hesitation.

"As the first merit, if you want a future, I can give you a chance..."

"But don't expect to keep the old ances..."

"If you continue to be in charge, don't think about it."

"How dare people who surrender to the surrender dare to ask for more..."

Instead, he showed some joy and relief, and thanked me.

"Master, please give me instructions..."

"What do you think..."

After the arrival of the people bid farewell again and again, I turned to the staff group waiting in the four walls and waiting for the order and the audience.

"How many true and false are there and other possibilities..."

Now, with the relative talents under my command, I have completely arranged such professionals who are good at camera, or who are good at observing words and looking at clues from details to speculate and analyze the other party's attitudes and reactions; it is also a matter of responsibility for all kinds of people who come to see and visit me with various purposes and motivations, making on-site judgments and deductions, and even being careful of Du Wei and picking up the missing.

"The main content should be true, basically corresponding to the situation we have mastered through multiple channels."

The team's staff officer replied seriously

"But there are obviously some concealment and misleading in details..."

"so?"

"So it is not ruled out that there is a possibility of fraudulent surrender or a false shot, delaying time or even delaying the military."

"Even if he has some ideas and motivations, there is a certain probability that it is the smoke released by the other party..."

"Do you use such an important person as smoke?"

I continued to ask.

"That's really a big deal."

"But that's OK..."

"Since this has already started, he can't help but be satisfied with what happened later."

"Get the other lists you want to contact with..."

.............

In the old Hangu Road from Tongguan to Taolinshu, sporadic battles continued one after another, and in the deep valleys between the mountains, two teams of varying sizes under the banner of Tang were also confronting each other.

"They broke through the pass and captured the enemy generals first, and they were able to win all the credits of your Liangzhou soldiers and the Daxue Camp."

"Then the next thing you want to attack the enemy is to leave it to our Ganzhou Jianer and Lang Su Jun..."

"Now the court has not set up a 15th Army Office, and it is not the only one under the King of Beiliang who can fight."

"Even if your prince leads the army personally, he cannot ignore everyone's common will."

"Just this sentence today, do you give way or not...
