Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 447

Eight thousand soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River.

Luo Cheng's actions were always unexpected, and no one could have guessed that Luo Cheng would suddenly swing his troops across the Yellow River at this time.After all, he is an ambassador of Henan to appease and arrest, so he should never, or dare not lead troops across the Yellow River.

Koro has done just that.

He didn't notify anyone, and he didn't even send a memorial to the court.

In this way, he quietly led 8000 people across the Yellow River. After chatting with his old friend Liu Zhenjiang at Lujiao Pass for a while, Luo Cheng smiled and took Liu Zhenjiang's Antler Pass to the defense, and let the old Liu take the lead. Accompanied by his own eight hundred town soldiers.

With a wry smile, Lao Liu sent his hands out of Lujiao Pass, and then led someone to guide Luo Cheng.

"Should we go directly to Pingyuan County?" Old Liu asked.

"No hurry, let's go to Douzigang first." Luo Cheng looked at the vast plain under the night.He came here two years ago, turned Douzigang upside down, and beat Liu Badao, who had just become a bit of a climate, like a bereaved dog.

Now that you are here, let's revisit the old place again.

"But didn't the commander-in-chief say that bandits from all walks of life are going to attack Pingyuan County?"

Luo Cheng smiled, "The information is true, but maybe they haven't gone to Pingyuan County yet, so let's go to Douzigang to look for them first."

That's the case, but Lao Liu doesn't quite believe it. If he really knows that the thieves are going to Pingyuan County, he can go to Pingyuan County and wait.But after all, he is also an old fritters. After thinking about it, he immediately understood what this handsome man was thinking.

Soldiers crossing the Yellow River also took a great risk. If they ran to Pingyuan County, the bandits would be frightened by then, so what if they didn't come to attack?
It would be better to let the bandits go to Pingyuan County first, and then Luo Cheng will lead his troops to rescue. This is a great achievement.Besides, if you take the opportunity to copy down the lair of bandits, you can still make a fortune.

"Zhang Liang!"

Luo Cheng beckoned, and Zhang Liang strode over.

"Master."

"Have those rebels left Douzigang?"

"It set off yesterday, and it is estimated that it has almost reached Ande City, the county town of Pingyuan."

After crossing the Yellow River, it is only [-] miles from Lujiaoguan to Ande, the county town of Pingyuan. Luo Cheng can reach it in a day as long as he marches faster.

However, Luo Cheng didn't plan to go directly to Ander, but ordered the whole army to go east.

Ander is in the north of Lujiao Pass, and Douzigang is in the east of Lujiao Pass.

In the darkness, soldiers and horses marched eastward all the way.

Although holding torches, everyone complained a little about the dark night march.

The fourth child said to Luo Chengdao, "The thieves and bandits have all come across the Yellow River. It's up to the officials and generals in Hebei to control where they attack. Let's take care of our Henan province."

"How can things be so simple? Haven't you heard that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? The chaos in Hebei is good for us. Besides, although I haven't figured out why Li Mi and the others want to gather thieves to attack Pingyuan County, since he Yang Xuangan and Li Mi Be my enemy everywhere, then I will destroy his plan. Besides, it is beneficial to suppress bandits and thieves. Have you forgotten how much we gained when we came to Douzigang last time? Besides, there are so many bandits this time, not to mention In addition, as long as we copy the lairs of these thieves this time, we will definitely make a fortune, why not?"

Anyway, in the eyes of the imperial court, all those who follow the bandits and rebel are no longer human beings.Once captured, they were executed on the spot.Luo Cheng is not so cruel, after all, he belongs to his own clan.

So when he came this time, in addition to destroying Yang Xuangan's plan, he also planned to do black and black, to grab all the money accumulated by the bandits, and then to grab those bandits and the people they coerced.

If you snatch it back, you will naturally serve as slaves to your brothers, or as farm slaves to the standing soldiers of the counties.Although it was cruel to capture people back as slaves, Luo Cheng felt that they had a better future than being thieves.

These days, war actually has technical content.

If you fight well, you will get promoted and get rich, but if you fight badly, it is natural that there is insufficient food and pay, and the soldiers complain.

In the vast night, Luo Cheng's 800 soldiers and horses, led by [-] people from Lujiao Pass, stepped into the Douzi Mound several hundred miles away.

Not long after entering Douzigang, a group of people came to greet him.

"Dou Jiande pays his respects to the commander-in-chief."

Luo Cheng immediately looked at the big man from Hebei who rolled his saddle off his horse and bowed down on one knee in front of him, and he felt a little sighed in his heart. If Sun Anzu and the others hadn't escaped, maybe Dou Jiande would have become a mighty fighter under his command now.

"Get up."

"Thank you sir."

Dou Jiande got up and came to Luo Cheng, "I have already found out the truth and reality of each home camp." He said, and he sent a hand-painted map, which showed where Douzigang is now where the bandit camps are located. , and marked the number of people in the battalion and the situation of the remaining troops, etc.

"Very detailed, this map work is very good."

"It's all the skills I learned when I was under the commander-in-chief."

"Dou Jiande, the coach will give you another chance now, are you willing to return to the team?"

Dou Jiande hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head.

"It's fine now."

"Forget it, it's up to you."

With Dou Jiande as an insider, Luo Cheng has a clear picture of the reality of the various anti-king camps in Douzigang. Up to now, the bandits of each family basically belong to the type of wandering, with no base, no stronghold, and go away. Where to grab it, grab the money and food in one place, and coerce a large number of young people to join, and then continue to the next place.

Because there are Luo Cheng and Zhang Xutuo in Henan, many thieves and bandits have gathered in Hebei now. With the secret coordination of Li Mi and the others, each family is now forming an alliance to attack Pingyuan county and city, and they have settled their old camps. Douzigang.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng came from Henan with soldiers and horses, and wanted to take over their lair with one pot.

With Dou Jiande and General Liu Zhen leading the way, Luo Cheng's [-] soldiers entered Douzigang and began to sweep.

Although there are now more than a dozen bandit camps from various quarters in Douzigang, each family is tens of miles apart, and they are still somewhat wary of each other. It's just that the young and old thieves have all gone to fight in Pingyuan County, and they stay in the camp. Although there are many, they are all women and children, old and weak, plus some new recruits, their combat effectiveness is very low.

Among Luo Cheng's [-] soldiers and horses, not only were there [-] veterans of the Fifth Army, but there were also thousands of people who had experience in suppressing bandits in the previous two years.

Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, sweeping away.

Every time Dou Jiande led the way and arrived at the place, Luo Cheng gave an order, and the whole army attacked, rushing and beating, and the bandit camp collapsed, and then it would be fine to encircle and make an forced landing, and then clean up The battlefield, counting the spoils, registering the prisoners.

Once the attack was over, Dou Jiande continued to lead him to the next camp.

For three days in a row, Luo Cheng led his troops to break through one bandit camp after another without stopping, and captured countless grains, cloth, money, silk and livestock, and the captured bandits and captives were also astonishing.

"A total of more than a thousand heads were beheaded, hundreds of thousands of animals were captured, and more than [-] thieves were captured."

Wang Ziming, who was in charge of statistics, held a thick account book and said to Luo Chengdao in amazement, "It's really a big harvest, but there are too many captured and captured, and the thousands of us are almost overwhelmed."
