Chapter 277

Tongbai County is located in a small mountain basin in the southeast corner of Nanyang, adjacent to Xinyang in the East and Suizhou in the south.

Although it is not as terrible as Xinye County, it has set up 70 or 80 towns, divided into three counties, but it has also set up 40 towns, divided into two counties, with a total of more than 200000 people.

Half of these people were relocated from Kaifeng. Although Cao Bianjiao took all the wives, concubines and servant girls of the towns, they still suffered tenacious resistance when the landlords and gentry came to the villages and villages with their servants to collect land.

Finally, one by one, they fled back to the county. As a last resort, they had to ask Lu Xiangsheng to send troops to suppress the unruly people.

But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to take care of the local villains, and didn't want to eradicate those ladies.

Because the 30000 troops sent to sneak attack Xinye have fled back, but only thousands of people have returned, and almost all the soldiers have run away.

And they came back with thousands of anti thief cavalry.

After some inquiry, Lu Xiangsheng knew that sun chuanting was afraid it was not over. Otherwise, the cavalry of the thief army could not have lost nearly a thousand. Of course, it was also possible to leave a thousand without going south, but this possibility was very small.

Finally, I had to sigh.

He deliberately threw 30000 soldiers to die in order to win a glimmer of life for sun chuanting. Who ever thought he had done useless work.

"Governor, if governor sun's army really encounters an accident, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time!"

Xu Jianghua warned carefully.

They have lost nearly 40000 soldiers, and now the other party's cavalry has reached 9000 again.

If you continue to delay here, you may be surrounded sometime. Do you expect Xiangyang to send troops to rescue them then?

"Well, it's no use for the army to stay here. Send orders and the army will leave for the South tomorrow."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded. If sun chuanting and his 20000 elite soldiers did not encounter accidents, it would be good to stay in Tongbai.

It is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is only more than 200 miles away from Xinye in the West and Nanyang in the northwest. It is also backed by Xinyang Suizhou and not far from Xiangyang.

But without sun chuanting's support in the north, it would be too dangerous to stay here, so he planned to go south to Suizhou Zaoyang to train troops and support each other with Xiangyang.

When the gentry and landlords in the city heard that the Ming army was leaving, they were in a hurry. Where else did they want to take care of the land?

He begged hard. Finally, he had to pack up his belongings in a hurry and decided to go south to Suizhou with Lu Xiangsheng.

Although the land and houses are gone, as long as there is money and status, it is better to buy them in Huguang than to stay here and wait for death.

The next day, the army set off for the south in a mighty manner. Dozens of big families were big cars, more than a dozen small cars and more than 2000 people.

I don't know the driving potential. I thought it was Cao Cao in the Dabie Mountains.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng was kind. He didn't cross the river and tear down the bridge, regardless of them, but let them work with the logistics team under the protection of the army.

On a hill outside the city.

Early in the morning, Cao Bianjiao and Xiaocui came with people.

"Commander, we can't let them escape like this. With our current strength and the young people in all villages and towns, we may not be able to beat them."

"Yes, commander, if we don't revenge this revenge, we'll never look up in front of other battalions in the future."

All the young captains were shouting and gnashing their teeth. No one knew better than them the position of those ladies in the king's mind.

Now, under their eyes, three people have been killed alive by the Ming army. For their pro guard camp, it is absolutely a shame that can never be washed away.

"Commander Xiaocui..."

Cao Bianjiao naturally wanted to avenge blood hatred, and he was very sure, so he looked at Xiaocui beside him.

"You see, I'm useless. The king said that cavalry should never lose another ride. If you can guarantee this, we'll fight. If you can't guarantee it, I can't help it."

Xiaocui has no good airway, but she is a little proud in her heart.

"Sister Xiaocui, aren't you talking nonsense? Who won't die in war? Otherwise, go up and entangle them, and then inform the king to send troops to encircle them. "

The young captain turned his eyes and suggested that others were looking forward to it.

Xiaocui hummed, "I think you've all been fooled. You've made bad ideas. You'll enter the mountain more than 30 miles south. Even if we get entangled, they'll go into the mountain in three days at most. They'll send troops from Xiangyang to encircle you. It's too late to catch up with you in the mountain, and you'll probably have to be ambushed again. So I advise you to give up your heart. It's not too late to calculate this account in the future."

They were obviously unwilling. They all puffed their cheeks and ignored Xiaocui. Instead, they looked at Cao Bianjiao.

"Get out!"

Cao Bianjiao wanted to make a version, but he thought that when Xiaocui came, he took the king's order and deprived him of his command. Finally, he growled impatiently.

The people also knew his difficulties. Seeing this, they clapped their horses and left.

"Big black, you've been depressed all the time. You won't be beaten by Lu Xiangsheng after a defeat, right? If so, I'm wrong about you. "

After everyone left, Xiaocui turned her head and said so, but her face was full of concern.

Obviously, he also felt that Cao Bianjiao was different from before, and seemed to become silent.

Cao Bianjiao only looked at her, turned his horse's head and ran towards the county. Xiaocui was angry and took a whip to catch up.

Secretly scolding this guy is still like before. He doesn't understand the amorous feelings at all.

She hinted countless times that she could be a concubine, but this guy pretended not to understand, and didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretended to be stupid. He was far worse than Qin Yi.

………

Tongbai County was not much damaged, and Lu Xiangsheng would not set fire to the city.

The gentry and landlords may also want to come back one day, so the house is well sealed. The door is not only locked, but also sealed.

When the Chinese army entered the city again, the people in the city who did not escape were cheering, and the people everywhere were celebrating with gongs and drums.

Not only the gentry and landlords ran away, but also the headlands, captors, yamen servants and land hooligans. Cao Bianjiao wanted to catch some people to vent, but he couldn't find anyone.

However, seeing that more and more people came from the four fields and the scene became more and more chaotic, Cao Bianjiao quickly sent someone to Biyang County to pick up the ladies.

The three ladies have been buried by Lu Xiangsheng outside the city. It's not appropriate to dig them out for a funeral.

Finally, Cao Bianjiao had to send someone to build three tombs and three steles in place. He took a group of soldiers to worship in person and invited monks and Taoists to spend the rest of his life.

The hundreds of wives, servant girls and concubines who came back were all secretly weeping. The people in all villages and towns were also reluctant to leave for a long time.

As for the county lieutenant and the three thousand brothers who died in the war, they can only set up a monument in place and engrave their names.
