Wang Bao noticed Yang Guozhu's eyes looking at Li Guangyi, and immediately understood that there was something wrong here.

"The ability of the rioters to capture Xinpingbao means that their strength is not weak. I am worried that Datong's own troops are not opponents, so I did not agree to use troops to Xinpingbao. Now General Wang and Xuanfu's troops have arrived, which is a great destruction of chaos in one fell swoop.

As for the opportunity of the bandits, I hope that the two generals can cooperate with Jin Cheng. When the rioters are pacified, I will submit a report to the emperor to ask for merit for the two generals." Li Guangyi said to the two generals in front of him.

Yang Guozhu and Wang Bao stood up from their seats.

The two of them faced Li Guangyi and said, "The last one is to obey the order of the military commander."

"General Wang, does the troops in Xuanfu need a few days to rest?" Li Guangyi looked at Wang Bao.

Wang Bao said: "Please rest assured that the general and his troops can go to war at any time and will never delay the military affairs of the military."

"Okay." Li Guangyi nodded and immediately said, "I will prepare for you about food and grass. Now I order you and the two of you to send troops to Xinpingbao immediately to wipe out the rioters stationed in Xinpingbao in one fell swoop."

"The last general takes the order."

Wang Bao and Yang Guozhu bowed again.

On that day, two troops from Datong and Xuanfu drove from two directions to Xinpingbao.

As the commander of the army, Li Guangyi did not need to go to war with the army. He just needed to sit in Datong and wait for news brought back by Wang Bao and Yang Guozhu from the front line.

The atmosphere of war permeated over Datong.

Yang Guozhu and Wang Bao are both generals, and no one is worse than each other in terms of rank, so there is no one who commands. It is precisely because of this that the two people did not walk together, but according to Li Guangyi's arrangement, they each had different

Heading towards Xinpingburg.

The government offices and border forts along the road received official documents from Li Guangyi early.

The local governments prepared the food and supplies needed by the army along the way.

Datong is nearly 200 miles away from Xinping Fort, and the marching speed of the government troops can travel up to 20 or 30 miles a day. No matter how fast it is, there will be a lack of battalions in the team.

However, this is less than two hundred miles away, making the villages along the way difficult.

After all, the border forts and county towns passed by were fine. No matter how brave the government troops were, they would not dare to enter the city privately, but the villages along the way were no longer possible. The government troops would harm one place before they could get to the other.

Especially the soldiers from Xuanfu were not Datong's soldiers, but were temporarily dispatched to Datong, so they harmed the local people, both light and heavy. This made many villages go one village after another without waiting for the official army to come.

Escape to the mountain to hide.

The war is like a comb.

The people of Datong once again suffered from the suffering of military disasters.

Unfortunately, the local government did not care about the lives and deaths of the people in these villages under its rule, and they could not control them even if they wanted to. They could only close the gates of the county town to block the official army from entering the city, and harm the people in the city.

The secret spy with the tiger flag in Datong Prefecture sent people to send the news of the government troops to Xinpingbao to Xinpingbao with fast horses early.

Compared with Wang Bao's troops, the troops led by Yang Guozhu were marching faster.

After all, his troops were local soldiers in Datong. Even if the villages passed by were harmed, they were not as powerful as those in Xuanfu, and they would not leave any way for the people to survive.

In addition, Yang Guozhu's military administration was stricter than Wang Bao, so the situation was much better.

Even so, the daily march is only forty miles at most.

It’s not that I don’t want to be faster, but many of the soldiers in the camp couldn’t even get the salary. Most of them were pale and thin, and the marching speed could not be faster.

Before the two official troops arrived in Xinping Fort, Zhang Hong, the second war army commander in Xinping Fort, received the news.

Several battalions of the Second Battle Division were all called to the General's Mansion in Xinpingbao by Zhang Hong.

Huang An's family, who originally lived in the General's Mansion, was taken to the grassland together when Du Yan left.

Nowadays, Xinping Fort is all stationed by soldiers with the tiger flag. In addition to the city, there are two combat barracks and a baggage battalion of the Second War Division stationed outside Xinping Fort.

A study room in the General's Mansion was converted into a combat conference room by Zhang Hong.

A map of Datong was hung on a wall.

Zhang Hong stood on one side of the map, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and pointed at two places on the map, saying: "These two directions are the routes of the government army, and these two branches are from Xuanfu.

With Datong's border army, as long as we defeat these two troops, Datong will no longer have much power to block our army with the tiger flag."

As he said that, he knocked on one end of the wooden stick twice on the map.

"Shi Zheng, my subordinates requested to lead a large camp to block one of the official troops." Pan Yi stood up and asked for a fight.

Another battalion beside him also stood up and said, "The other official army can be handed over to the battalion under his jurisdiction."

Zhang Hong waved his hand at the two of them and immediately said, "No, I am not going to divide my troops and take the initiative to attack them."

The battalions sitting below were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Hong continued, "At the speed of the government army, we will be able to reach Xinpingbao in four more days, so I decided to wait for the government army to come to Xinpingbao city and wipe out them all in one go."

His eyes in his hand clicked on the place marking Xinpingbao on the map.

When he received the government troops from Xinpingbao, he had decided to defeat the two official troops in one fell swoop, and then attack the county towns around Xinpingbao.

If we only want to lead a warship division for Xinpingbao, we don’t need to lead a warship division. Only Pan Yi, the battleship camp, can safely defend Xinpingbao.

After all, there is also a pilaster with the tiger flag on the grassland twenty miles away from Xinping Fort. It can be said that Xinping Fort can be continuously transported to ensure that Xinping Fort will not be captured by the government army because of lack of supplies.

Du Yan followed the last group of miners going north to the grassland to the grassland.

Datong Prefecture also welcomed the troops sent by Xuan Prefecture.

Inside the governor's yamen of Datong.

Li Guangyi sat in the middle, with Yang Guozhu, general of Datong and Wang Bao, general of Xuanfu, respectively on the left and right.

"Military Gate, the last general just received the news that the tiger flag sent a soldier to Xinpingbao, with a total of nearly 20,000 people." Yang Guozhu said with an ugly expression.

They waited for the troops sent by Xuanfu, but the bandits in Xinpingbao also waited for their own reinforcements.

Li Guangyi nodded slightly expressionlessly.

However, Wang Bao on the other side said, "Since I knew that Xinpingbao was captured by the bandits for a long time, why didn't I send a large army to wipe out the bandits? Now the bandits have come to reinforcements. If they want to regain Xinpingbao, I'm afraid it's even more

It's hard."

Yang Guozhu glanced at Li Guangyi without saying anything.

However, he also knew that the other party was right. Although the troops he commanded captured Xinping Fort, it was because Huang An was frightened by the shelling, otherwise Xinping Fort would not have been captured so smoothly.

Compared with his temporary troops and the regular combat camp led by Pan Yi, there is still a big gap.
