The weather in April has become warmer. Logically speaking, if it were a peaceful year, it would be the busiest time in the fields, but in this chaotic era, most of the fields have been abandoned.

The climate in the northwest was not very good, with water and rain, and many mountains. The harvest of farming was far inferior to that of Jizhou Central and Southern, and even more so than that of Yuzhou.

In addition, the people have all gone to bandits and participated in Dongling Road, let alone farming and grain farming.

Originally, Li Chi's plan was to bypass the county towns guarded by heavy troops, join Tang Pidian and directly attack Dongling Mountain, but he failed to bypass it.

Unexpectedly, all the soldiers and horses from these five counties were mobilized and gathered in Linbing County.

The eight thousand elite troops from Yanshan Camp were discovered by the bandits who were mobilized on the way. In a moment, all the so-called charity-protecting soldiers in Linbing County gathered together and were ready to fight.

This is okay. In fact, in Tang Pidian's opinion, it would be better for the enemy to gather in one place, so that he would not be able to fight one by one.

To deal with such an enemy, Tang Piddi felt that it would be a waste to spend half a day more.

Inside and outside the county, the number of bandits gathered here is increasing, no less than tens of thousands.

Although Dongling Dao is known to have hundreds of thousands of sects, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can actually fight.

The teams of these five counties, which were captured, forced, and tempted, were only about 45,600.

There are no decent weapons, armor, not to mention decent protective gear, and even the team is not neat. If the command is smooth, it would be magical.

However, when the number of people reached 10,000, the scene was already extremely shocking. Forty or fifty thousand soldiers gathered together, and they all felt that they could be so angry.

The word "many people" actually fully demonstrates the kind of thinking of people. When tens of thousands of people get together, everyone will feel that they are all coquettish.

Tang Pidi was very disgusted, especially after seeing the enemy soldiers himself, he became even more disgusted.

It was like Li Chi coaxing and lied to him and asked him to come, saying that he was treating him to a big meal, but when he arrived, he saw that it was just a meal of dumpling soup, and there were not many dumplings.

"It looks pretty fat, like meat."

Tang Pidian sat on the horse's back and pointed to the endless camps of bandits facing outside the county.

"It's actually a piece of tofu or a piece of tofu."

Tang Pidian looked down on the bandits at all. He killed all the 40,000 to 50,000 people and did not get many iron weapons, let alone serious weapons and armored weapons.

Li Chi said: "At least you have to be very serious. This is the first time you have officially embarked on the expedition. If you look so careless, the soldiers..."

Tang Pidian said, "Okay, okay."

He turned around and asked, "Are breakfast ready?"

Jia Ruan, the senior brother of the Gudaomen who is in charge of logistics, stepped forward and said, "Go back to the general, you are ready."

Tang Piddi said, "Then let's have a meal."

He got off the war horse and said as he walked, "I'll tell you to keep going, don't have to prepare lunch here."

Jia Ruan was stunned and asked quickly: "Don't you prepare lunch?"

Tang Piddi smiled and said, "It's not that he is not preparing here. He is not preparing here. After the fight, he goes to the county town to eat."

About half an hour after breakfast, Tang Pidian ordered the horn blowing, and the soldiers quickly gathered.

Tang Pidian said: "General Liu, this is the first battle. The soldiers of Yanshan Camp may be a little panicked. Take your troops to make a move for them."

Liu Ge smiled and said, "Okay."

Tang Pidian said again: "Dan Tai, I'll leave the remaining troops to you. After General Liu charges, you can take people up and clean up."

Tan Tai nodded: "Abide by the order."

After giving the order, Tang Pidian looked at Li Chi and asked, "How far is this place from Dongling Mountain?"

Li Chi said: "It will take about two days of marching."

Tang Pidian then shouted loudly: "A one hour is over, one

I cleaned up the mess at the time and started eating in Linbing County at noon. After dinner, I started to go.”

"call!"

The soldiers responded neatly.

Tang Pidian moved for a while and ordered: "After the fight, tell those so-called believers of Dongling Dao that they will not die if they retreat, and they will be killed if they do not retreat."

"Blow the horn!"

As the whimpering horn sounded, Liu Ge and the three thousand soldiers began to move forward slowly.

The training that the regular soldiers of the Great Chu government had received was not comparable to those mobs.

To be honest, if Yu Jiuling had not returned to say that there were hundreds of thousands of scholars in Dongling Road, Tang Pidian would not have been willing to come in person, so it would be enough to let Liu Ge bring 3,000 people.

Liu Ge led his army to attack the bandits' central army.

There is no temptation, nor is there any temptation required.

The three thousand palace soldiers moved forward in a square formation. When they were approaching, the square formation turned into a swallowtail and charged towards the bandits' central army.

Tang Pidian sat down on the high slope, took a look at the direction of the battle, and lost interest after just one look.

"Do they have a lot of food and supplies?"

He asked Li Chi.

Li Chi shook his head: "There is no food or grass, just a chicken rib. It's a pity to throw it away. It's a sip, it's a good idea."

Tang Piddi sighed, "That would be even more boring."

Li Chi said: "Next game?"

Tang Pidian said: "I didn't bring a chess box yet, how can I play it?"

Li Chi said: "I play a game to block the pit?"

Tang Pidian said: "You are the boss, I am the leader of the first army. During the battle formation, you actually want to play a game with me to block the pit?"

He glared at Li Chi and said, "Then we promise to say it first, don't cheat."

Blocking the pit is a chess game that the people in Jizhou often play. There are only four chess pieces in total, two for each person, also known as jumping into the well, suffocating the cow, etc.

There is no need to use chess pieces, just pick up something, just distinguish the two chess pieces.

Li Chi took a deep breath and his face was solemn.

Tang Piddi said: "Play a trap...you're the one?"

Li Chi said: "I just...squatted for a while, and mentioned the word "tree" repeatedly. I felt that there was some mysterious power that was calling in my stomach..."

Tang Pidian: "Knocking on the door?"

Li Chi said: "It's almost..."

Tang Pidian: "Go away quickly, and I will smell it again later."

At the same time, about two days away from Jizhou, the Yanzhou army is moving forward, with 150,000 troops coming in a vast and vast way.

Luo Zhen was urging his horse to move forward. Someone behind him rushed over and called him. Luo Zhen turned around and saw that it was Youzhou messenger.

The commander chased after him from Youzhou, arrived at Luojing, held his fists and saluted, and then took a letter and handed it to Luojing.

Luo Jing opened the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly changed.

This is a handwritten letter from his father Luo Geng. In the letter, Luo Geng told that the great thief of Yanzhou had arrived and brought an army of 200,000 to attack Zhou Shiren from behind. Luo Geng asked him to find an opportunity to leave the Yanzhou army.

When the Yanzhou army conquered Jizhou, Zhou Shiren would definitely be extremely happy and would be the most relaxed and weakest defense. At that time, the Baishan army would attack the Yanzhou army fiercely.

The letter also mentioned that in order to train troops, the Baishan Army had already set sail north and attacked Yanshan Camp first.

Luo Jing's face changed constantly. After a long time of silence, he put away the letter and said to the messenger: "Go back and tell my father that I already know and will act according to the plan."

The messenger took the order and drove the horse away.

After a long time, Luo Jing couldn't hold it back and said to Luo Zhijie on the side: "Help me do something, you must never let others know, nor can my father know."

Luo Zhijie leaned over and said, "Major General, just give orders."

Luo Jing lowered his voice and said, "You go there yourself."

Going to Yanshan, looking for the Lumei Army camp, telling Li Chi that the 200,000 Baishan Army was going to attack his mountain village, and let him make plans early."

Luo Zhijie's face changed and he said in a little embarrassed manner: "Major General, if the general had just sent a messenger to inform him, it must be the arrangement of the general. If the major general sent me to Yanshan Camp, the general would find out..."

Luo Jing frowned slightly and said, "Will you tell my father?"

Luo Zhijie hurriedly said, "I don't dare."

Luo Jing said: "Just tell Li Chi, you are not helping Yanshan Camp to fight against the bandits of Baishan Army. I heard that Li Chi is in Yanshan Camp now, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and only a few generals. How can he stop the 200,000 Baishan Army? I just want to repay him with a favor and let him escape in advance."

Luo Zhijie had no choice but to respond, and took a team of personal soldiers to leave the group of troops, and turned north.

Luo Jing let out a long sigh and said to himself: "This time, even if you really give back all the favors to you... Li Chi, Li Chi, you are asking for good luck. This chess game is really not something that someone like you can enter at will."

Linbing County.

Defeat the enemy in one hour, and clean up the battlefield in one hour.

The three thousand soldiers in the palace directly defeated the bandits' central army, but in fact it didn't take an hour at all, it only took half an hour to kill the central army.

The defector Fang Yuzhou could not lead troops to fight, but he would only kill people and force his subordinates to charge.
