The battle in the city ended soon.
The resurgent army was in a hurry to resurgence, and the officials of Xingzhong Prefecture and the Zhangwu Army and the local army were even more unprepared, so the resurgent army's attack was extremely smooth. When Luo Qinghan and Dong Xiaochou received the targets of each battalion, they were very excited. The development of things exceeded their expectations. This is a good omen.
"Together the soldiers of the Zhangwu Army and the local army, build another battalion, which is called Xingzhong Camp." Luo Qinghan suggested, "Select some officers from the eight battalions of the resentful army to Xingzhong Camp, and reorganize them overnight, and they will be used tomorrow."
Dong Xiaochou thought for a moment, "The officers above all the heads were all transferred from the Eighth Battalions of the Resentful Army. The battalion commander and deputy commander were appointed by Zhou Ce and Nian Junyu. What do you think?"
Zhou Ce was a veteran who participated in the Li Hongda Uprising and had been following Dong Xiaochou. Nian Junyu was a general of the Shiping Army in Liaozhou, Tokyo and was considered a member of Andong's old subordinate. Dong Xiaochou's move was obviously seeking balance.
Luo Qinghan doesn't care. His current goal is Chengzhou. He wants to kill to Chengzhou as quickly as possible and to Mount Targas. The more people there are in the army, the better.
Dong Xiaochou was not in a hurry. Xingzhong Prefecture is a wealthy place. In the future, the resentful army would have to live a hard life. He took this opportunity to scrape the ground and plunder the wealth of Xingzhong Prefecture. The highest goal of rebellion was to kill the enemy and restore the Han Dynasty, but the basic goal was to eat enough. If the stomach problem was not solved, what else would you kill the enemy and restore the Han Dynasty? The people had already run away.
"Pill two days of robbery." Dong Xiaohou said slowly, "If Chuanzhou can be successfully captured, we will set out the day after tomorrow and we will reach Chengzhou in three days."

Late at night, Guo Yaoshi sent news from Chuanzhou. King Xi Xiao Gan transferred all the remaining troops of the Changning Army of Chuanzhou. The capital of Chuanzhou was empty city, and easily captured it. In addition, Guo Yaoshi heard an unconfirmed news from the governor of Chuanzhou. The Tiger King of the Rebel Army was attacking the Targasus Mountain. Xiao Gan urgently dispatched troops to stop the Rebel Army from moving south.
Luo Qinghan was both surprised and happy, and intuition told him that the news was true. Although he didn't know why Li Hu went south earlier than the agreed time, since he had already reached Mount Tarras, he had to rush over as quickly as possible and attack Xiao Gan with Li Hu, opening up the road for the rebels to go south.
"The Tiger King went south early." Luo Qinghan said excitedly, "Shuai Dong, let's set out in advance too. At this moment, the Liao army blocked the way in front of the Tiger King, and the Jin army chased after him. It was in danger and could not be delayed for a moment."
Dong Xiaochou hesitated for a long time and finally said, "When we clear the warehouse in Xingzhong Mansion, we will leave."
There are many warehouses in Xingzhong Mansion, such as arsenal, grain warehouse, wine warehouse... It takes time to move so many things. Luo Qinghan is anxious, but he can't do anything about it.
At this moment, the messenger of King Yelu Chun of Yan arrived. After reading the letter, Dong Xiaochou's face changed immediately.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qinghan asked hurriedly.
"Yelu Chun's army is coming to Xingzhong Prefecture." Dong Xiaochou handed the letter to Luo Qinghan, with a slightly nervous expression, "We are going to leave early."
This letter was written by Yelu Chun to Xiao Sixian, saying that he had already taken the army from Zhongjing and wanted to attack the Jin people from the direction of Targasus Mountain. The resentful army would join him in the battle and ask him not to force Dong Xiaochou to Lizhou to encircle and suppress the rebels. Judging from the time of the letter's signature, Yelu Chun had already set out. If the speed was fast enough, there would be only more than a day left to Xingzhong Prefecture. In other words, if he received a letter from Xiao Sixian on the way, he would definitely be able to arrive at Xingzhong Prefecture tomorrow.
Luo Qinghan was secretly shocked. Fortunately, the resentful army raised the flag and rebelled, otherwise the situation would be extremely dangerous.
"Why did Yelu Chun launch an Eastern Expedition in advance?" Luo Qinghan was very confused. From the letter, he could see that Yelu Chun had not received the news that the rebel army had gone south. So, was he launching an Eastern Expedition in advance because there was a problem inside the palace tent?
Dong Xiaochou had no intention of considering these issues. If nothing unexpected happens, Yelu Chun had received an urgent report from Xiao Gan and a letter from Xiao Sixian. Whether it was the rebel army going south or the resentful army planning to rebel, Yelu Chun would speed up the marching and come day and night.
"I ordered the soldiers of each battalion to plunder and plunder the soldiers and slaughter Xingzhong Prefecture in blood." Dong Xiaochou ordered decisively, "The old camp sets off immediately and retreats to Chuanzhou."

The seventh day of breaking through.
The Rebel General's Office.
Li Hu dragged his exhausted body back to the tent, fell down and fell asleep.
He was too tired. He led his army to fight with the Jin army again in the direction of Xiaoquan River. He was evenly matched in the morning and could not hold on in the afternoon and wanted to "escape". It is not easy to escape. You have to organize the 100,000 yuan of people to make a living, so they can't "explode" them in a swarm. If it is "exploded", it will hit the rear camp and shake the morale of the army, the problem will be serious.
The Jin people originally wanted to approach ten miles, but Li Hu threatened them, don't force them too hard, hold a sword and dance around my head. The bosses under my command are afraid. If the dog is anxious, they will jump over the wall, let alone people? So please stay away from me and ask me to go back and persuade the bosses. It is better to go south honestly.
The Jin people seemed to believe Li Hu, but they obeyed the rules and did not force them anymore. They returned to Xiaoquan River and rested, but the rebels could not rest. Except for the two generals of Luo Zhongyuan, the two generals of the Heishan Army, Wu Xiong and Li Yuan's Hu Lie Army, and Tan Hongyi's generals, all the troops of the front and central army entered the ambush position.

Li Hu was sleeping in a daze and felt that someone had entered the military tent. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the marching adviser.
The marching staff was in charge of the secrets in the army. This position cannot be appointed, but where did Li Hu find such a confidant who is proficient in this? Huang She helped him find one, and found it from the prison in Longhuazhou.
Yuanye used to be the marching staff of the commander-in-chief of the Huanglong Mansion Guards. He was able to obtain this position because his sister was the concubine of the commander-in-chief. After the fall of Huanglong Mansion, the commander-in-chief was dismissed from his official position and returned to Nanjing to retire. Yuanye followed the guards of Huanglong Mansion to continue fighting, and was transferred to the Longhuazhou Jiedushi last year to be a clerk. Yuanye's sister and the whole family of Yuanye were both trapped in Huanglong Mansion, and there was no news. For this reason, Yuanye was idle and sneaked into Huanglong Mansion several times to find out about his family. As a result, he was falsely accused of surrendering to the enemy and being imprisoned.
Li Hu rescued him and gave him a life. Of course, he had to repay him with gratitude, so naturally he became Li Hu's confidant. After the establishment of the General General's Office, Huang She recommended him to serve as the marching staff. The information found by scouts from each army was finally sent to the marching staff. After the analysis and judgment of Yuan Ye and his men, they were sorted out as the basis for the General General and the General General's Office to formulate strategies.
When Li Hu saw him, he immediately asked, "What's the movement of the Liao army today?"
"General General, if nothing unexpected happens, the Liao army will attack at night in the past two days." Yuanye was very respectful to Li Hu. After summarizing and analyzing the various news sent by the scout today, he concluded that the Liao army was mobilizing troops to prepare for attack, and from all the signs, it was a night attack.
"You must be attacking at night?" Li Hu asked.
"The Liao army is preparing some things needed for a night attack. From this we can judge that it is absolutely impossible to be wrong." Yuan Ye's tone was very certain.
"Today or tomorrow?" Li Hu asked again.
This question is obviously difficult to answer, so Yuanye hesitated for a long time, "The general commander and the Jin people fought three battles in three days, and the army was very tired. The Jin people were not only tired, but also rushed to the line of Xiaoquan River, which was more than twenty miles away from the Hu Xiaotai. Judging from the width of the battlefield, this distance is more suitable. The Liao people can attack and retreat and defend, and they are not afraid of the Jin people taking the opportunity to attack. It is very safe. In addition, today, the Liao people redeem the hostages in batches, and almost all the important hostages were bought. From this, the Liao people may..." He hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke up with difficulty, "Maybe down the mountain to sneak attack tonight."
He was not sure, but Li Hu was very sure. He suddenly lost all sleepiness and turned over and stood up, "I'll go to the front army."
"Master General, maybe tomorrow night." Yuanye was worried about making a mistake and added another sentence.
Li Hu laughed, "Maybe it's the night after tomorrow." He waved to Yuanye, took the pony and ran away.

Koizumi River.
After dark, Wanyan Zongwang rushed to the Jin army camp.
The reason why Wanyan Loushi was willing to accept Li Hu's suggestion was because he suddenly received a letter from Zong Wang. Zong Wang came back. He heard that Wanyan Loushi and Wushu led their troops to press the rebels and hurriedly sent orders to temporarily delay the forcing in and not force the rebels to jump over the wall. He was worried that something happened ahead, so he rushed to Xiaoquan River without stopping.
"Second brother, you're back so quickly." Wu Shu asked anxiously when he saw Zong Wang, "How many troops have you brought from Tokyo?"
"Thirty thousand." Zong Wang smiled and said, "How much have you lost these days?" Wu Shu has always been brave in war, so Zong Wang asked this question.
"We lost more than 600 people on the first day." Wu Shu said angrily, "Second brother, do you know who we met?"
Zong Wang looked at Wanyan Loushi in confusion. "We met Gao Baolong." Loushi looked solemn, "Li Hu actually had foreign soldiers on his hands. This was too unexpected. We caught us off guard and were hit by the Bohai people, causing great losses."
"Ban soldiers? Bohai people?" Zong Wang was very surprised, "Li Hu actually had French soldiers? Didn't he want to kill the enemy and restore the Han Dynasty? How could he surrender the French soldiers?"
