The [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Nanjiang, Baoning Prefecture, under the leadership of Liu Shiliang, the commander of Xiaoqi battalion guards, rushed to Bazhou City at the fastest speed.

It was the night of the sixth day of August when Liu Shiliang entered Bazhou City.

The atmosphere in Bazhou City became highly tense. The arrival of the army indicated that the war was about to begin. In the past few months, Bazhou has become the most lively place. The Baoning Guard stationed here fought with the bandits several times. The loss of both sides is not small. They are very clear that most of the main forces of the rogues are concentrated in the Bazhou area. With their strength, it is impossible to fight. If the rogues are fully mobilized, they will only be destroyed.

After the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion entered Bazhou, the commander of the Baoning Guard breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, has strict requirements. All the commanders of the guards dare not disobey the military order, otherwise they will lose their heads. Persevere, for fear that if you are not careful, your head will be taken away by bandits.

Commander Wei went to visit Liu Shiliang in person.

The ranks of the two are the same, they are both guard commanders, but the actual treatment is quite different. What is the reputation of Jiangning battalion? The commander of the capital, so after seeing Liu Shiliang, the commander of the guard was very humble.

Liu Shiliang had already received the order.

As the commander of the guards, he needs to think independently, which is strictly required by Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou. He could completely follow Su Tiancheng's arrangements before, but now he can't. In many cases, he needs to make independent judgments.

The first thing Liu Shiliang asked after meeting the commander of the Baoning Guard.Even with the current situation, especially the situation in the last two days, it should be said that the rogues are also aware of the news of the large-scale deployment of the Jiangning Battalion.

Liu Shiliang was very surprised by the answer of the commander of the Baoning Guard.The rogues still launched a small-scale attack a few days ago, but since yesterday, for two consecutive days, no rogues came to attack.

The large-scale mobilization of the Jiangning Battalion is preparing to wipe out the rogues. It is said that the rogues should also be prepared to deal with them. At least they must make corresponding arrangements. It is normal time to not attack, but Liu Shiliang felt strange.

What he thought of was whether the rogues were going to escape.After all, the rogues are afraid of the Jiangning camp.

It will take three to four days for the other two armies to reach Bazhou. Liu Shiliang believes that he must do the preliminary preparations, that is to say, to detect the exact situation of the rogues.

Rogue bandits are mainly distributed in the deep mountains in the south and east of Bazhou. It is dangerous to explore the specific situation.

Liu Shiliang was not afraid.Immediately dispatched several strands of scouts.

The scouts set off overnight and left Bazhou City.The investigation has begun.

On the night of the seventh day, two teams of scouts returned to Bazhou City.

The news they brought made Liu Shiliang a little overwhelmed.

The scouts who went to the rogue camp to investigate found almost no sign of a large group of rogues. The mountain was very quiet, and the scouts ventured to investigate in some places that seemed to have been stationed by rogues.Some scouts even entered a cottage and found that it was mostly empty and there were not many people in sight. This was completely different from what the commander of Baoningwei said, and it was also different from what Liu Shiliang had known before.

The place where Bazhou belongs.Except for Bazhou City, the rest of the places are almost under the control of the rogues, and you can see the rogues everywhere. The rogues and the Jiangning camp almost do not interfere with each other. Except for small-scale attacks, neither side has thought of launching an attack. , and had no such plan. When he came to Bazhou from Nanyang, Liu Shiliang was very careful, and was going to fight with the rogues, but he didn't see the rogues, so he entered Bazhou City smoothly.

Now, the news detected by the scouts vaguely indicated that the rogues had disappeared. To put it bluntly, the rogues might have escaped or moved.

After making such a judgment, Liu Shiliang felt that something was wrong.

Almost all of the Jiangning Battalion was dispatched to prepare for a decisive battle with the rogues, but the rogues suddenly disappeared.

Liu Shiliang made a major decision.

In the early morning of the eighth day of August, 5000 soldiers from the Jiangning battalion prepared to set off, leaving [-] people stationed in Bazhou City.

Liu Shiliang is ready to attack tentatively, to see if the news detected by the scouts is accurate.

The place Liu Shiliang chose was the rogues deep in the southern mountains.

There are also a thousand Baoning guards who follow the army.

The Jiangning battalion soldiers acted very quickly. They were facing tens of thousands of rogues. This is no joke. If they were caught in an ambush, no one would be able to guarantee victory.

The action has always been cautious, following the route taken by the scouts.

At noon, the army finally came to the mountains.

Along the way, Liu Shiliang felt more and more that something was wrong.

How could it be possible to see none of the tens of thousands of rogues?

Unable to see the bandits, Liu Shiliang ordered the army to speed up the march.

In the mountains, it was very quiet, and the chirping of birds and even wild beasts could be heard.

Liu Shiliang finally felt that something was wrong and the bandits might have moved.

He resolutely ordered two thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers to attack and enter the depths of the mountain. If they found anything unusual, they should retreat quickly and don't want to fight.

Two hours later, two thousand soldiers came out, but nothing was found in the mountains.

In fact, when he heard the birdsong, Liu Shiliang realized something was wrong. If there were tens of thousands of rogues stationed in the mountains, it would be impossible for there to be so many birdsongs, and the birds would have already run away.

Liu Shiliang ordered the army to hurry back to Bazhou City.

In addition, two teams were sent to report the situation to the other two teams.

The commander of the Baoning Guard who followed the action was trembling at first, thinking that he must be dead this time, but he didn't expect to face such a situation. In fact, their luck is good, there are still 2 rogues stationed in the north , Luo Rucai is mainly in charge of the south, but unfortunately the [-] people led by Luo Rucai were completely evacuated, and of course no one was seen.

Back in Bazhou City, it was already dark.

Liu Shiliang was not in the mood to rest. He looked at the map and kept sitting on it with markers, trying to think about where the rogues had fled. At this moment, Luo Chang led the 3 Jiangning Battalion stationed in Mianzhu, Chengdu Prefecture. The soldiers also rushed to Bazhou City. This time, the number of Jiangning battalion soldiers in Bazhou City reached [-].

Liu Shiliang didn't have time to exchange greetings with Luo Chang, and the two immediately started discussing. Luo Chang had already received the news that the rogues in Bazhou seemed to have disappeared. After dawn, the army went to the mountains to the north to see what was going on.If the rogues have really retreated or escaped, they must use the fastest speed to detect the direction in which the rogues are escaping, and send out a part of the army to pursue them.

In the middle of the night, neither Liu Shiliang nor Luo Chang had a rest, nor did they feel like resting.

Another pale-faced Jiangning battalion soldier came in with the badge of the commander of the capital, Hong Chengchou.

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang stood up in shock.

The soldier held the letter in his hand.

"The Commander-in-Chief ordered that Liu Shiliang, Commander of Xiaoqi Battalion and Guards, and Luo Chang, Commander of Frontier Battalion and Guards, lead all Jiangning Battalion soldiers to march towards Kuizhou Fucheng without any delay."

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang quickly read the letter.

There are three chicken feathers pasted on the letter. This is a top-secret letter, and no one can read it except Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang.

After hastily reading the letter, the expressions of the two changed drastically.

"General Luo, quickly gather all the soldiers and set off overnight without rest or making noise. We will leave Bazhou City immediately and must arrive at Pingchang tonight to join Commander Hong."

"Okay, should I inform the commander of the Baoning Guard and ask him to lead Baoning as a sergeant and stick to Bazhou?"

"I'll be in charge of this matter. The [-]-strong army will set off in half an hour, without delay."

Liu Shiliang is the commander of the Xiaoqi camp and guards, and Luo Chang is the commander of the vanguard camp. It is normal to issue orders at this time.

The commander of the Baoning Guard, who was drowsy, was woken up.

When he came out, he saw that the army of the Jiangning battalion was already gathering, and he was trembling with shock. The Jiangning battalion came to Bazhou, and he managed to sleep soundly. Who knows what happened again.

Hearing Liu Shiliang say that the Jiangning battalion was going to leave Bazhou city overnight, and when the security defense of Bazhou city was in charge of the security guard, the commander of the guard showed a bitter face. He thought that the Jiangning battalion must have investigated important information .

Liu Shiliang warned the commander of the Baoning Guard that he must stick to Bazhou City. No matter who provokes him, he should not go out of the city to fight. All soldiers must swear to defend Bazhou City to the death.

In the second division of Yinshi, [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers left Bazhou City.

The actions of a large army will definitely have an impact, not to mention that the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp are stationed in Bazhou City, and the small Bazhou City is crowded, but the people of Bazhou sleep very peacefully. At this time, the Jiangning Camp The [-] soldiers left suddenly, and they left in the middle of the night, which caused a sensation in the city, and many people came out to watch the excitement.

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang both looked livid and didn't say a word.

All the officers of Jiangning Battalion did not speak. From the faces of the two guard commanders, they already knew that the situation was very serious. There must be a major change, otherwise they would not have acted in the middle of the night.

The speed of the team's actions was very fast. After an hour, Bazhou City returned to calm, leaving behind the people who were talking a lot. (to be continued..)
