Chapter 107 Take Gong County
Chen Liu guessed that if Huarong saw such a scene, according to his greedy and stubborn mind, he would definitely come to attack the camp at night. Once Huarong came out, the soldiers lurking at the door would rush up and attack the gate.
As Chen Liu expected, Huarong was really fooled and came out of the customs, wanting to attack the Hu Ben group camp at night.
The literati rescued by Liu Dazhuang yesterday has been attached to the Pingbei Army at this time. After Liu Dazhuang untied the bound rope for the literati, he communicated with the literati. The literati was also a general person and had some real skills, so Liu Dazhuang left the literati and waited for Liu Xia to come. Recommended for Liu Xia.
Liu Dazhuang ordered his guard to send the letter to Liu Xia and then go back to bed. Now he has a good sleep and then occupy the city.
The news of the capture of the Hu Prison Pass did not spread immediately. After all, few people escaped from the Hu Prison Pass, but in a few days, the people in Luoyang City would not know that the Hu Prison Pass had changed owners.
Zhengzhou
"Dad Da Da Da"
A sound of horses' hoofs gradually sounded.
At this time, Liu Xia had led the people to Zhengzhou, and Liu Xia began to speed up along the way.
"There is a scout in front of the general." A personal guard said respectfully.
Liu Xia hurriedly said, "Go and call the scout here."
After a while, a dusty scout came over with sweat.
The scout punched Liu Xia and said, "Report to the general, the battle report ahead."
After saying that, the scout took out a good letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Xia.
Liu Xia immediately took it over, then tore the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it. After a moment, Liu Xia's face showed joy and said to Chen Liu, "The news from Da Zhuang is that the Hu Prison Pass has been taken down, and the Hu Bentuan will go to occupy Gong County, Yanshi and other places after a rest for a period of time. The strategy of joining the army is really useful. Huarong was hit by the plan of joining the army and got out of the prison pass, which was taken down by Da Zhuang.
Chen Liu smiled and said, "That's General Liu's prestige, hahaha."
"Okay, pass the order and tell those people to speed up their pace and move forward."
"Yes!"
"The general has an order to speed up the pace. Speed up!"
"The general has an order to speed up the pace. Speed up!"
Zhengzhou is not far from the Hu prison. If Liu Xia advances at full speed with the cavalry, it will not take half a day to reach it, but now there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people following, so the journey has been delayed for a long time.
Liu Xia's order was issued, which made many people complain. After all, how tiring it is to walk for a day. Some people have mules and horses at home, but they are free and can ride a little donkey or sit in a carriage, but those who don't have to be exhausted.
However, there is nothing we can do. It is safer to arrive early. If the Qing army attacks at this time, all these people will definitely be killed, although it is a little unlikely.

In the broken temple, a woman in a white shirt and covered with a sword stood in the middle of the broken temple. Opposite her stood two men and a beautiful woman.
I saw one of the men said to the masked woman, "Our Lady, the assassination failed. We lost several brothers, but we still didn't kill the dog thief Duoduo."
"Before, the brothers killed a king of a Taar, which led Dorchon to increase the city defense, and many of our people were arrested and exposed. Many of them are now suffering in the heavenly prison. What's the Virgin Mary doing now?"
Another man also said, "Brother Zuo is right. He also failed to assassinate Kong Youde. He didn't expect Kong Youde to be so good at martial arts, but it's a pity that Peony died like that, alas."
The white-shirted masked woman frowned slightly and meditated for a moment and said, "I already know what you said. Although Kong Youde is not dead, he lost 8,000 troops, and there will be no good end to him when he goes back. However, Duoduo, Duoduo has killed so many people in Yangzhou, and sooner or later he will kill him thousands of knives."
The beautiful woman next to him said, "Yes, Kong Youde was really defeated. I didn't expect Liu Xia to be so powerful. I really want to see a real person."
The white-shirted masked woman listened to the beautiful woman talking about Liu Xia, and a trace of softness flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant and returned to the cold face.
"We will come into contact with Liu Xia in the future. Xiaolan, don't worry."
The girl known as Xiaolan heard it and said happily, "It's true!"
The two men next to him felt sour and a little jealous at this time.
The white-dressed masked woman glanced at Xiao Lan coldly. Xiao Lan immediately restrained her happiness and said, "The person who was arrested can't help but be saved. After a few guardians came, the Virgin Mary discussed with them. Let's get up and go to Beijing to save those people."
After listening to this, the two men smiled and said, "Thank you, Our Lady!"
Because of the attack on Dodo, Beijing increased its defense and search, which exposed many White Lotus believers and were arrested. Nowadays, many of the imprisoned people in Beijing are the followers of the Bailian Sect who have been arrested.
Most of these congregations are composed of some martial arts people. They have the skills and are good at some assassinations. Although they are not a government organization, the Han people are now being invaded by foreigners. These people of the Bailian religion are Han people and have begun to assassinate the Manchu people.
However, those high-level characters are protected by a large number of people. At present, the best result is to assassinate a prince successfully.

On the morning of the 26th, Liu Dazhuang let the Hu Ben Regiment rest for a day, and then Liu Dazhuang asked the third battalion of the Hu Ben Regiment to guard the Hu Prison and wait for Liu Xia's arrival. The other two battalions began to attack Gong County under the leadership of Liu Dazhuang and Niu Yu.
On the afternoon of the 25th, the news of the capture of Hulao Pass has spread to the adjacent Gong County. The county magistrate in Gong County has already been scared to escape. Because Hu Prison Pass has been broken, where can Gong County still have the ability to defend? Gong County is just a small county. The city is not high and can't stop Liu Dazhuang's attack at all.
So the county magistrate of Gong County immediately left Gong County and fled to Luoyang City with his wife and Xiao without saying a word. After all, Luoyang City is tall, and it is basically impossible for thousands of people to attack it.
At the same time, the large and small squires in Gong County left. These people usually bully good and fear evil. I heard that Liu Xia killed a lot of squires along the way, so they were all afraid. However, the people in Gong County did not leave. Is there any reason for them to leave when Wang Shi came?
When Liu Dazhuang arrived in Gong County, he did not need to attack at all. Because the gate of Gong County opened, the people were not afraid of the arrival of Liu Dazhuang. Now the people in Gong County are doing what they should do at this time. Liu Xia had a good reputation before, and these people were not so afraid of the Northern Army.
Liu Dazhuang entered Gong County with no effort, and another sent a messenger to Liu Xiagong County.
Next, Liu Dazhuang's goal is Yanshi. Yanshi is some distance away from Gong County. At this time, it was still early. Liu Dazhuang calculated, and all the cavalry rushed over and could reach Yanshi at noon. Liu Dazhuang only left Gong County, the keeper of the brigade. After all, Gong County is not far from the Tiger Prison. If someone from Gong County comes to attack, the general of the Tiger Prison will come to the rescue.
After resting for an hour in Gong County, Liu Dazhuang led more than a thousand people to Yanshi, which was not as good as Gong County. Yanshi City is not too far from Luoyang, so the city is not small, and Yanshi is also a place with a very deep history and culture. It has appeared in the Shang Dynasty and once existed as the capital of the Shang Dynasty.
Because of the gentry in Gong County, Yanshicheng has also known that the Hu Prison Pass has been broken at this time, but the official news of the occupation of Gong County has not yet come, but as long as anyone with a brain knows, Gong County must have been occupied at this time.
The squires of Yanshi also began to panic. Liu Xia is coming. What should they do?
I believe that in a short time, Liu Xia's army will attack, and Yan Shi doesn't have many defenders at all, and it is a little difficult to defend the city.
Liu Zhong, the soldier of Henan, has only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they are basically in Luoyang City. Even Liu Zhong has only sent 500 people to guard the Hulao Pass. How many people can there be in the Hu Prison Pass?
The squires in Yanshi City began to gather their domestic slaves for their wealth and their own lives. More than a dozen squires quickly gathered a thousand soldiers and horses, but these domestic slaves were more new recruits, and it was estimated that they could faint when they saw the dead.
At noon, Liu Dazhuang's soldiers and horses had arrived under Yanshi City, and the gate of Yanshi City had already been closed.
"Mir, according to the news from the scouts, there are nearly a thousand soldiers and horses in the Yanshi city at this time, but these two thousand people are the domestic slaves of the squire in the Yanshi, and they don't have much combat effectiveness. If you want to defeat them, it is more than enough for a brigade."
A brave lieutenant said to Liu Dazhuang.
However, Liu Dazhuang said coldly, "If you compete face to face, you can easily defeat them, but now the two armies are not fighting on the plain. Even if the thousand slaves are waste, they will still throw wood and fire oil from the city. After all, they occupy the city at this time and are condescending. It is difficult for us to enter the city.
Niu Yu also frowned at this time and said, "Now we don't have many soldiers and horses, only a thousand people, and we don't have any siege equipment. Although this Yanshi City is not very tall, it is also difficult to enter. Da Zhuang, do we have to wait until the general arrives to attack the city?"
Liu Dazhuang then shook his head and said, "The general's order is to attack the division before his arrival. Although we have few people and no siege equipment, then take it wisely. They will always have mistakes."
Niu Yu listened and frowned and said, "Da Zhuang, what's your idea?"
Liu Dazhuang said, "I don't have any ideas. The military division didn't give me any tricks. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
