"Report!"

A quick and long report sounded, and then a dusty scout had already rode his horse to the outside of the commander's tent, and the golden spears and halberds in the hands of several Jinjia Shengjie soldiers stood in front of him.

"Come in!" Li Jing's majestic voice sounded in the tent, the guards of the Shengjie army put away their spears and halberds, and the detectives entered the tent under the guidance of the guards.

"Commander, Commander Liu of the Auxiliary Army has sent an urgent report. Before noon, the Auxiliary Army had successfully captured Yucheng, defeated the three thousand grass thieves in the city, and then repelled the more than six thousand grass thieves who came to aid from the southeast and northeast. This time In the formation, my auxiliary army killed more than [-] bandits and captured more than [-], and also captured the grass bandit general Cai Wenqiu and more than [-] people above the capital level."

Li Jing, Li Zhen, Guo Chengan and others looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"How many casualties did the auxiliary army have?" Li Jing was very surprised that the auxiliary army could capture Yucheng. What was even more surprising was that they killed more than [-] rebels and [-] prisoners.Although a large part of the grass thief's team is not real soldiers, only a few can be counted as soldiers.But no matter what, this record was beyond his expectation.How many casualties will be paid for such a great achievement?

"Five thousand auxiliary troops, more than [-] were killed in battle, and more than [-] were seriously injured." When the detective said about the casualties, his voice was a little low.In less than a day, [-] employees have been reduced, and this number has reached [-]%.For a new army, [-]% of the combat attrition has brought them close to collapse.

"Where are the remaining auxiliary troops withdrawn now?" Li Zhen frowned when he heard such a heavy casualty.The role of the auxiliary army is to lure the enemy, but now Liu Xun and the others are fighting hard as soon as they go up.After bearing [-]% of the loss, I am afraid that the auxiliary army will not be able to do anything in the future.

"Commander Liu asked Xiao Xiao to return. He will lead the auxiliary army to defend Yucheng for three days together with the five yamen, and try to protect Yucheng within three days." The detective replied in a low voice.

Li Zhen smiled wryly, then turned to Li Jing and said, "Commander, this Liu Xun, it seems that he has already guessed our plan to outflank us. This kid is planning to use the auxiliary army as bait to capture the surrounding area of ​​Yucheng." Only the auxiliary army can be attracted."

Li Jing nodded, Liu Xun's actions surprised him a little.Originally, this bait did not need to be like this, as long as they appeared in the Yucheng area to mobilize the grass thieves, there was no need to fight hard at all.But Liu Xun and the others fought hard, and captured Yucheng, severely wounding the grasshoppers.

It has to be said that Liu Xun's actions were of great help to Li Jing's plan. The auxiliary army had not many troops, and this time the enemy suffered heavy casualties.Although the grass thief was beaten with a sap, they also knew the strength of Yucheng's auxiliary army.The strength of the auxiliary army is not strong, not only will the grass bandits not scare away, but they will rush up to take revenge.In this way, Li Jing's outflanking tactics can make a lot of money, but this undoubtedly put the auxiliary army in a desperate situation.

"Marshal, why don't we send troops directly to Yucheng." Guo Chengan could see that Li Jing was worried about the auxiliary army, or he thought Li Jing was worried about the six disciples.

Li Jing smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Since Liu Xun and the others are so capable, then this commander will help them once." He said to the detective, "Go back again and tell them a few, two days, it only takes Two days is enough."

After the scouts retreated, Li Zhen said worriedly: "Commander, although Liu Xun's courage is commendable, they only have [-] auxiliary troops left, and they may not be able to hold out for two days. "

"I've thought about it for a long time. We can't let down Liu Xun's efforts. Besides, two days is not long." Li Jing smiled slightly.

Guo Chengan patted his forehead, "The commander-in-chief is still smiling at this time, so he is not afraid of the fall of Yucheng? Although these six guys are usually a little conceited, they are still young people after all. With time, they will be able to do so in the future." It is the backbone of my town [***], and we cannot take risks.”

"Needless to say, everyone, I have made a decision in my heart." Li Jing waved his hand, this time is indeed dangerous, but Li Jing has a record of taking [-] new troops to capture Yucheng and killing thousands of enemies , it can already be judged that the strength of the grass thief is not strong, and several disciples are indeed very good, and the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary army is still acceptable.In addition, if it is defending the city, the grasp is a bit greater.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to really train them. Liu Xun and the others have always wanted to prove themselves, and now Li Jing is willing to give them this opportunity.

"Pass down my commander's order. The army is divided into four divisions according to the plan. Except for the first division staying in Songzhou, the other three divisions will immediately dispatch troops with [-] soldiers each as planned. Lin Wu, Wang Zhong, and Wang Pu, each of you will lead an army and set off. Remember, I only give you two days, and within two days, you must completely block the west bank of Bianshui."

Guo Shunli stood aside and begged: "Commander, let me lead the headquarters to Yucheng for reinforcements!" He could clearly see the danger of the auxiliary army, and his son was in Yucheng, so he couldn't ignore it.

Li Jing gave him a cold look, "The Black Banner Army is heavy cavalry, and they must follow the large troops at all times, and will never use them until the critical moment. Have you forgotten the role of the Black Banner Army?"

"Don't dare!"

"Then step back. I have my own arrangements for Yucheng." Li Jing said.

Guo Chengan made a relief from the side: "Why don't we send another army to reinforce it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend with the auxiliary army alone."

"The commander-in-chief didn't say to let them stand alone. Reinforcements will be sent, but instead of sending [***], I will send a Songzhou soldier to go." Li Jing said.

The others were a little puzzled, but Li Jing didn't explain, and directly called the guards and asked them to follow into Song City.

In Songcheng Governor's Mansion, Zhang Rui couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard Li Jing's proposal to send a Songzhou soldier to Yucheng for reinforcements.With so many soldiers and horses in Li Jing's hands, he must send a newly recruited auxiliary army to Yucheng.Originally, he thought that the auxiliary army was just going around in circles to make a show, but he didn't expect that the auxiliary army had really regained Yucheng now.But Li Jing still didn't send Zhen [***] up at this time, but instead asked him to send Songzhou soldiers to reinforce, which made him full of doubts.

But Li Jing didn't say the reason, and he couldn't force it.In the end, he nodded, "Okay, there are still five thousand soldiers in Songzhou City. Although the combat power is not strong and the various ministries are mixed, the number is still quite large. I will transfer them all to Yucheng!"

"No!" Li Jing shook his head, "There is no need for so many reinforcements. In this way, Mr. Zhang, you can call out the united soldiers from Songzhou, add a little more, and gather 2000 people to send there."

"Ah, why?" This Zhang Rui was really confused.

"If Mr. Zhang believed in XX, just do it." Li Jing smiled slightly without explaining.

Zhang Rui hurriedly went to dispatch troops, but Li Jing did not leave immediately, but waited for Zhang Rui's reply in the mansion.After drinking a cup of tea, waiting was a bit boring, Li Jing couldn't help thinking of the cute little girl she saw in the garden after drinking last time, and walked towards the back garden involuntarily.

After dismissing the servants and guards, Li Jing went through the moon gate along the road he walked last time, and came to the beautiful back garden. He still stood under the grape trellis, looking at the roses in the garden, and was slightly absent-minded.

The world changes because of me!Li Jing stood under the grape trellis, his thoughts were messed up.Historically, the siege of Songzhou would not happen until several years later, but because of his arrival, the grass thief arrived in Songzhou ahead of schedule.And now, whether he likes it or not, he has already started to fight the grass thief.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in the garden, like a beautiful butterfly flying over the flowers.He raised his head in astonishment, only to find a pretty face, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a beautiful oval face, delicate features, fair complexion, and a shrewd smile flashed in those nimble eyes.

"My lord, why did you suddenly break into my garden, and why are you so fascinated?" The girl walked over, two red clouds flew up on her face, her eyes were bold but she couldn't hide a bit of shyness.Boldly, she blinked and asked curiously.Her voice was soft and soft, with a touch of tenderness.

Li Jing was taken aback by her bold move, he had already recognized it, this girl was the beautiful rose under the moon that night, the daughter of the governor Zhang Rui, who was the last queen of Zhu Wen in history. A virtuous woman.

But now in Li Jing's impression, I have to add a bold description.

Li Jing smiled, pretending to be nonchalant, and said: "Miss Hui'er, the flowers in this garden are so fragrant that they lured me into the garden by mistake. But when I got here, I realized that there are people who are more delicate than flowers!"

The girl pursed her red lips and glanced at him with a shy look on her face.

"You, how do you know my name?" The other party actually knew her boudoir's name, which made Zhang Hui both happy and surprised.In fact, one coincidence is accidental, and it is not accidental to meet again in the garden.These days, she has been watched closely by her mother, and she can't go anywhere in the embroidery building.The girl Lu Ya just told him quietly that Li Jing came to the house again.Zhang Hui was immediately overjoyed, and finally got out of the Xiulou, but he wanted to go to the front hall, but he had no chance, and finally only got in the garden, but unexpectedly, they could meet again here.

"The little lady in the dream told me." Seeing Zhang Hui as a girl with a spring in her heart, Li Jing couldn't help making a small joke.Unexpectedly, Zhang Hui's face immediately turned red like two red lanterns, biting her red lips and turning her head aside in embarrassment.It was already a very daring act to come forward to talk to Li Jing, but now Li Jing actually started teasing her, which made her heart jump out of her chest, and she almost fainted from suffocation.

Li Jing raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above his head. It was already May, and the weather in Songzhou was already hot.

Zhang Hui stood in the sun and was basking in the sun. In addition to being nervous, beads of sweat were already forming on the tip of her delicate nose.Li Jing couldn't help but stretched out his hand and wiped it for her. The palm touched the girl's skin, and Zhang Hui's hot breath hit the palm. Li Jing immediately felt a little meng.

Looking at Zhang Hui again, he was already standing there completely dumbfounded at this moment, as if he had become a sculpture, his face was blushing to the point of bleeding, and his eyes were wide open.The girl's slightly raised chest heaved violently, and then, Zhang Hui burst into tears and stomped her feet, "You bullied me!" Then she covered her face and walked away in embarrassment.

After she ran away with a gust of fragrant wind and disappeared, Li Jing suddenly burst out laughing, this little girl is really interesting.But just now his heart was really pounding, the innocence, boldness and greenness of such an innocent girl really made him feel a little shaken.

"Strange, when did I start to fall in love with such a girl?" Li Jing shook her head, then turned back and left the back garden. (To be continued.)
