The Youzhou Army's movements were more vigorous and vigorous than anyone imagined. The next morning, an elite cavalry team of 4,000 people left Gaoyang and galloped eastward.

This cavalry team consists of the personal soldiers directly belonging to Wang Jun and the elite troops of Duan Wenyang. They are all warriors with skilled martial arts. Being able to reunite such a team after a brutal defeat undoubtedly proves the huge potential of the Youzhou Army. But this is one of the few troops under Wang Jun that can ensure combat effectiveness and loyalty and reliable.

Wang Jun was very clear about what the subsequent military operations meant, and he knew that such military operations could only be completed by the real direct line. Therefore, the temporarily recruited Hu troops were completely left in Gaoyang, and Wang Jun himself led his troops to attack. They passed through the wilderness in the northern part of Jizhou and gradually penetrated into the complex and high-rise mountains, and bypassed all cities, villages and towns along the way without any stop. Like a falcon that was swooping and rushing, there was only the prey that was destined to escape in his eyes.

On the night of the third day, Wang Jun's troops arrived at Lingshou County, north of Changshan County.

If Fang Qinzhi's information was not bad, Liu Yan's use of troops was quite slow. In the past few days, he sent his subordinates to several counties under Changshan County, without any intention of further eastward. His central army team set up a simple camp fifteen miles northwest of Lingshou County, where Lu Yao met with Liu. The two sides had been discussing for several days, and the content they talked about included the strategy of continuing to suppress the Youzhou shogunate.

Wang Jun personally led the front team to climb a high slope to look out.

The dark night made it impossible to see the road clearly under your feet. A group of Xianbei riders rode up indifferently, and Wang Jun could only fall behind and slowly climbed to the top of the slope with the support of several entourages.

Looking away from the grass, you can see a village under the faint starlight.

"It's just that right?"

Fang Qinzhi, surrounded by the cavalry team, nodded repeatedly: "It's this! It's this! The villain guarantees his life!"

"Well..." Wang Jun gently stroked his beard and looked at the camp. The night was too dark after all. After a while, he still had a blurry outline of the camp. Except for the camp gate located in the south, there were two rows of torches swaying like stars, the camp was dark and silent.

After all, he was a long-time general who had been rampant on the battlefield for many years. Although he came with unsuppressed rage and murderous intent, he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to stay in a hidden place for a while. From Gaoyang to Changshan, he wanted to cross the entire Zhongshan Kingdom. The Bingzhou governor Liu Kun was a member of Weichang in Zhongshan, and there was no idea how many suspicions there were in the local area. In order to avoid the discovery of his own traces, the entire army was vigilant in the past two days, and it was already very tired if he marched just.

Taking advantage of the soldiers scattering far away to rest, Wang Jun sent out elite scouts to cover them near the camp to capture a few lonely soldiers.

After about half an hour, the scouts captured the people. When they heard the accent, they were soldiers from Bingzhou.

There were talents in the Youzhou army who were good at torture and forced confessions. After a few questions, I learned that this place was indeed a newly built camp. It is said that there were noble people from Dai County here. Because they did not want to disturb them too much, Liu Yancai specially placed them in the military camp outside Lingshou County. Who was the specific visitor? This soldier was not in a position, but he had never seen it before.

But that was enough. Wang Jun waved his hand casually, and a guard suddenly drew his sword and killed the prisoner on the spot. Very well, it seems that what Fang Qinzhi said was correct. Wang Jun's gaze flew over Fang Qinzhi's pale face and sneered softly: Who else can the nobles of Dai County be valued by Liu Yan so much?

Lu Yao and Liu Yan, two young men with foxes and tiger power, dare to come and beat me Wang Pengzu? Liu Yueshi was in Jinyang, but he stretched out his hand to the east of Taihang. Today I will cut off your palm with one knife. So what can you do! No matter how much you calculate, it is impossible for me, Wang Pengzu, to personally raise the army here!

Hehe, God gave me a good opportunity, how can I waste it? Thousands of cavalry surrounding me will definitely kill Lu Yao. If the Dai County Army loses its command, it is nothing. Our army first takes Changshan and blocks the Bingzhou power west of Taihang. Then, relying on the advantages of Changshan County over Dai County, it will be easy to integrate the three Dai counties in one fell swoop...

"How is it? Is it suitable to do it now?" he asked in a low voice.

Duan Wenyang, who was with him, looked up at the sky. With this movement, the armor made a slight impact of iron sheets: "General, you might as well wait a little longer. The soldiers should be able to fight until the fourth update. That was the time when the enemy was sleeping the deepest and most familiar. When we attacked with the iron cavalry, we would be like destroying the dead."

The failure in Ruyuan caused many Hu generals who were originally relied on by Wang Jun to die in battle. Several people who fled back, such as Duan Ji and Lu Jun, were alienated because of their poor performance on the battlefield. The most trusted general of Wang Jun is Duan Wenyang. In the battle of Ruyuan, this powerful general of Duan's army was arranged to block the front of the Dai County Army, so he did not disperse like the main force. Wang Jun was able to escape the pursuit of the Dai County Army and return to Jicheng, thanks to Duan Wenyang leading the army to fight and retreat.

Because of this, when Wang Jun reorganized his troops, he assigned a considerable Hu cavalry to Duan Wenyang's command, intending to train this young general into a general who could stand alone. On the other hand, since Wang Jun himself was not good at commanding on the battlefield, he really needed a trusted deputy general to provide consultation at any time.

Duan Wenyang's answer was undoubtedly correct. Wang Jun nodded slightly and was silent for a while. Duan Wenyang always looked at the enemy camp. The Xianbei warrior who was used to fighting and strategizing seemed to be exuding murderous aura all the time. That feeling even made Wang Jun feel uncomfortable. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and said to himself secretly: "The Xianbei people should not use it all, and they should not believe it all! After retreating this time, he must firmly hold the two counties and states of Zhongshan and Changshan in his hands. For those Husbands, he can give them gold and silk rewards, but he must not indulge them in expanding their power to Jizhou..."

"General? General?" Just as Duan Wenyang asked a soft question, interrupting Wang Jun's thoughts.

"The soldiers can rest, but the scouts cannot relax." Wang Jun said casually.

Seeing Duan Wenyang bowing his head respectfully, he felt relieved to wrap his body with his cloak and heading towards the shelter behind the hillside. After all, he is an old man in his fifties. Although he claims to be strong and vigorous, he almost never gets his prime, but the bumps of two days have consumed too much energy.

Half an hour later, the sleeping Wang Jun was gently woken up by someone.

"General, it's time for us to attack!" Duan Wenyang spoke.

Wang Jun frowned and looked at him: "Now you are a general of the army, not my personal soldiers. Why are you still following me like you did? Go and complete the team!"

"Don't worry, General, everyone is ready." Duan Wenyang replied.

Wang Jun put his arm on the felt carpet and raised his upper body. He saw that the queue of thousands of people in the valley was neat and tidy, obviously he had been waiting for a long time.

The number of words in this chapter is a little less, out of helplessness. I have arthritis again, my knees are swollen like basketballs, and it feels painful. Moreover, the inflammation is accompanied by fever, and my head is very muddy. Fortunately, this plot has been written for a long time, so I can only read it.
