Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

In Bailiu Village, Ji Qingwan and others had been waiting for many days to meet Zhao Zhen and handed over the key to the misty world of [Uncle Thief].

Zhu Wu, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Liu Huiniang and the three sisters Ji Minghan, Ji Minglian, and Black Ant joined the army together. Zhao Zhen took the key to the foggy world and concentrated, and more than 5,000 soldiers moved into [Uncle] Thief】Misty world.

When Zhao Zhen opened his eyes, everyone had entered a world of mist. All they could see was beans and grass growing there. There was a big river nearby, and the navy was in it. There was no human being around. Looking ahead, we see a vast expanse of salt-alkali land.

Bai Sheng led the spies to disperse, and the navy, under the command of Ruan Xiaoer and Liu Lin, divided into two groups and explored forward and backward.

Zhao Zhen chose a high ground near the river and set up camp.

After setting up camp, the spies from both land and water also turned around. Zhao Zhen ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals. After a while, the generals of the three armies, water, foot and horse, gathered together and sat down in the big tent.

Bai Sheng spoke first: "The three groups led by the officials and the villains captured more than 20 people in total. After interrogation, they turned out to be the uncle's thieves who had dispersed. This group of people has been gathering and dispersing since Liu Badao's death, except for Li Deyi Tens of thousands of Liu Badao's remaining troops were gathered together under the banner of "Uncle's Army". Du Yanbing and Wang Run also gathered here to revolt. Now they are besieging Pingyuan County, and Li Deyi is gathering troops to plunder surrounding counties. "

Zhao Zhen asked: "Can I ask where Li Deyi is stationed?"

Bai Sheng shook his head: "These are all scattered young fellows from the countryside. They are only looking for information on the periphery and do not know where Li Deyi is stationed."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Brother Liu Lin and I also captured some fishermen, and there was a small school inside. After interrogation, they also said that Li Deyi was gathering troops and seemed to be attacking Bohai County."

Zhu Wudao: "Brother Ruan Xiaoqi, how many members of Li Deyi's tribe can you tell me?"

"More than 20,000 people."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, do you have any ideas?"

Lu Zhishen said: "I don't even know where Li Deyi is, how can we fight this battle?"

Zhu Wudao: "That's right. I'm hiding from the enemy. If I mention the ambush, I can defeat Li Deyi's troops in one battle."

After hearing this, everyone looked much more relaxed.

Zhu Wu continued: "If the news is true, we will first go to the place where Bohai County must pass to ambush, take advantage of their unpreparedness, attack with the horse army, and follow with the infantry. We can defeat this group of people in one battle."

After hearing this, Liu Huiniang said: "I don't think there is any need to be in such a hurry. Since he wants to attack Bohai County, just let him attack first. If Bohai County is defeated, we can attack afterwards. Not only can we defeat the uncle's thief, but we can also win for nothing." A city. If we can't conquer Bohai County, we can take advantage of its new defeat and low morale to rob the camp, and we will definitely win."

Zhao Zhen heard this, thought for a moment, and then issued an order: "Instructor Lin, the horse army is spread out, with 50 horsemen as a team. You and others will each lead a team and patrol the surrounding ten miles. Don't let anyone find out where we are. Send the order again. , no fire is allowed for breakfast these days, just eat the fried rice and pickles you brought with you. Brother Bai Sheng, please take spies to explore various places. It would be better if you can find out where Li Deyi's camp and Bohai County are. Brothers, we are patrolling along the river. A large number of people and horses are gathered together. It is necessary to use water. In my opinion, the camp should be not far from the river bank. The other generals should not make any noise or slack off."

Everyone took the order and went their separate ways.

After a night's rest, Ruan Xiaoqi came to report early the next morning that he had discovered Li Deyi's camp. As Zhao Zhen expected, Ruan Xiaoqi took seven or eight small boats and headed north, finally reaching Li Deyi's camp. location. According to this, for more than 40 miles, a new camp was set up at the intersection of Majia River and Dehui River. It was indeed Li Deyi's new camp.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this and asked, "Do you know when we will send out troops?"

Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head: "I don't dare to go deep into the camp for fear of disturbing the grass. Today I pretended to be a gathering of uncles and thieves and went into the camp to explore."

Zhu Wu quickly stopped him: "Brother, I'm afraid you have bad looks."

Just as he was talking, Bai Sheng also came in to report: "Officials, I have discovered the location of Bohai County, which is 40 miles southeast from Daying."

Liu Huiniang asked: "Do you know if Li Deyi's army has any warships?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Looking from a distance yesterday, they were all small fishing boats."

"That's good. When we are stationed here, we don't have to worry about most of Li Deyi passing by. We just need to find out when he will send out troops. We will be one day behind them, so we can naturally benefit."

Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, I have to trouble Brother Bai Sheng to pretend to be my uncle's thief and go to Li Deyi's station to find out something."

Bai Sheng said: "This is not difficult. I will take two smart sergeants, change their clothes, and naturally blend into the camp."

After the discussion, Ruan Xiaoqi personally sailed the boat and sent Bai Sheng and others to Li Deyi's station. Bai Sheng went ashore far away, pretending to be a group of uncles and thieves gathered in the camp, and went into the camp to inquire.

Here in Zhao Zhen, the horse army patrolled the surrounding area every day. Pei Xuan ordered people to build several large tents. During the day, they were afraid that the smoke would attract people's attention. They cooked food in the tents at night so that the soldiers did not have to eat cold fried rice.

After three days of this, Ruan Xiaoqi finally sent back the news that Li Deyi broke out of camp and headed straight for Bohai County, which is more than 70 miles southeast.

Zhao Zhen stayed here for two more days before breaking out of camp and heading to Bohai County.

Ruan Xiaoqi and Liu Lin were left here to lead the navy, and Shi Jin, Yang Chun, and Chen Da led the 200-horse army. The two groups went north along the river to find Li Deyi's old camp.

Zhao Zhen and others were stationed ten miles behind most of Li Deyi, and slowly approached Bohai County.

News came from Bai Sheng every day that he had attacked the city for three consecutive days, resulting in more than 3,000 casualties. Even Li Deyi's men could not climb the city wall. The morale of Li Deyi's troops is low, and they will withdraw their troops soon, allowing Zhao Zhen to prepare to send troops.

After all, my uncle's army is not a hardened sergeant, but a banker who can't survive, just working together to protect himself. Now there are many casualties and there is no desire to fight anymore. Li Deyi and other heroes are indeed considering withdrawing their troops. This gathering of troops was just to encourage Du Yanbing and Wang Run to besiege Pingyuan County and not to allow Bohai County to support them.

It was originally just a siege, but Li Deyi was greedy and wanted to test Bohai County. After looting, he would not worry about the cost this year. Unexpectedly, during the siege, one of the commanders was shot by a stray arrow in the city and died on the spot. This turned a siege into a siege.

Li Deyi discussed with several big bandit leaders and decided to attack surrounding villages and towns instead. After looting, he returned to Douzi for temporary refuge.

Immediately, everyone broke out of the camp and Li Deyi personally escorted them back. The large group of people packed up the camp and retreated. There were few officers and soldiers in Bohai County and they did not dare to go out of the city to pursue. They watched Li Deyi calmly retreat from the city wall.

But it was said that Li Deyi and others left Bohai County and walked five or seven miles north. Passing by the foot of a mountain, they heard the sound of a cannon and rushed out of a cavalry army, heading straight for the unsuspecting Li Deyi's troops.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter, a group of cavalry troops smashed Li Deyi's troops into pieces.

The infantry then covered up the enemy, and just as Liu Huiniang said, Li Deyi's troops were defeated in just a moment. The killed [uncle thieves] were at a loss what to do, their horses were broken and stopped, and the [uncle thieves] only hated their parents for having two feet, so they scattered and fled for their lives on the deep village roads.

The cavalry troops also scattered in pursuit, and Zhao Zhen had someone shout: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

They were chasing people everywhere, and they only killed for more than an hour before withdrawing their troops. All the generals came to offer their merits, and Pei Xuan wrote down the merits of all the generals in detail.

It was the Ma Army's credit for breaking the enemy formation, and it was the credit for killing the three leading generals, namely Lin Chong, Sun An, and Yang Zhi.

Nearly 7,000 people were surrendered, which was a credit to the infantry. Bao Xu also killed a bandit leader during his rebellion.

More than 200 war horses, more than 300 cattle, mules and other large animals were seized, and there was no trace of vehicles, fodder, food, or armor.

Unfortunately, Li Deyi was lost in the rebellion.

Twenty thousand [uncle thieves] attacked the city and damaged more than 4,000, captured and killed 7,000, and trampled nearly 2,000, and the remaining 6,7,000 were scattered into the countryside.

Zhu Wudao: "Officials, why don't you take the prisoners and station them at Li Deyi's camp in front of Bohai County. Train the prisoners. If Bohai County can be captured, all the treasury and warehouses will be owned by the high officials."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately ordered to set up camp in front of Bohai County.
