Prepare to fight
In February, everything recovered, the ice and snow melted, half of the thick ice on the surface of the Rushui River melted, and the rushing water flowed down the river.

At the confluence of Rushui and Shiyang River, a division of [-] Gaozhen soldiers, led by Dai Jinghong, is building a camp, blocking the main road from Suiping to Runing, as an outpost of the army, monitoring Suiping Tu Bandits.

Dai Jinghong is a strong man in Chenzhou, because he voluntarily surrendered, so Gao Yihuan gave him a brigade.

At this time, wearing cotton armor, wearing an iron helmet, and holding a waist knife, he stood in the middle of the camp, pointing at the busy soldiers, "You guys, make the fence tighter, you guys, push the cart outside, don't block it." on the road."

The soldiers in the camp were busy, but a scout galloped back from the west, rushed straight to the camp, flew off his horse in front of the camp gate, then held his helmet with one hand and pressed the handle of the knife with the other, hurriedly walked up to Dai Jinghong, kneeling on one knee Kneeling down: "Qi report to Zhang Lu, the big thing is not good, Liu Qihong led the troops to kill here."

Dai Jinghong was shocked when he heard the words, they didn't go to take revenge, but Liu Hongqi actually came to the door.

"How many people are they here?" Dai Jinghong asked hastily.

"The mountains and plains are all over the place, and the river valleys are full, like a rising tide. There may be tens of thousands of people!" The scout turned his head and pointed to the west. "The local bandits are seven or eight miles away, and they will be killed soon."

"Tens of thousands?" Dai Jinghong took a deep breath, looked around the situation in the camp, and suddenly shouted anxiously: "Don't mess with it, pack up your things quickly, and retreat with me."

A quarter of an hour later, the three hundred Gaozhen soldiers abandoned most of their supplies and the half-built camp, and retreated hastily to the south.

Not long after the Gaozhen soldiers left, the Shiyang River Valley, where large figures suddenly appeared, rushed over like a rising tide.

Liu Hongqi rode on a miscellaneous horse with a lance in his hand, leading the way, and rushed into the camp bravely. Seeing that the camp was in a mess and all kinds of supplies were thrown away at will, he couldn't help but raised his head and laughed loudly, "Gao Yihuan, you You son of a bitch, robbed me of Runing, and even claimed to want my head, so I'll kill you if I don't."

Outside the city of Runing, there is a camp in Gaozhen.

After Gao Yihuan finished reorganizing the troops, Zhao Daxian led a battalion and stationed them in Luyi, Xiangcheng, Shenqiu and other places.

The remaining two battalions, a total of more than 6000 soldiers, gathered outside the city of Runing, preparing to take turns to fight against the local bandits.

After everything was ready, Gao Yihuan was about to break out of the camp, but at this moment, the outpost troops suddenly retreated.

In Gao Yihuan's big tent, Dai Jinghong knelt on one knee and reported: "General, Liu Hongqi raised his army, tens of thousands of people, and rushed towards Runing."

Gao Yihuan and the generals were taken aback when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

After a while of silence, Gao Yihuan suddenly cursed: "Damn it, this Liu Hongqi slapped me in the face again, I must kill him."

Recently, Second Brother Gao has been going smoothly, like a god, even Zuo Liangyu fell into his hands, so he naturally didn't take Liu Hongqi, a local thief, seriously.

Although there are many local thieves and servants, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands, but there are probably only a thousand who can really fight, and the rest are mobs, so there is nothing to fear.

If 10 people are elite soldiers, then Li Zicheng has nothing to do with it, and it's time for Liu Hongqi to conquer the world.

In the eyes of Second Brother Gao, Liu Hong is at the level of a small Yuanying at the top, and Second Brother alone has more than [-] officers and soldiers. Will he be afraid of being a local bandit?
The recent expansion has caused Gao Yihuan's military strength to expand rapidly. He no longer intends to continue to expand his military strength in the near future, but to try to turn more than 9000 people into elite soldiers capable of fighting tough battles and lay a solid foundation.

If the foundation of the team is not solid, once he loses a battle, he may be like Li Zicheng, and his power will collapse immediately. Therefore, the second brother's move against Liu Hong this time is not for capturing prisoners, but for other purposes.

The second brother has two main purposes, one is to use Liu Hong to build up his prestige, and when he destroys Liu Hongqi, Ru Ning's tyrannical power will not dare to think otherwise, and the other is to train troops and turn the current troops into elites.

Brother Gao was afraid that Liu Hongqi would not be able to achieve the purpose of military training if he was not beaten, so he let out the wind and told Liu Hongqi to prepare for the beating. He didn't play tricks, but how he smashed Liu Hongqi to death head-on.

Right now, the second brother's words have just been released, attracting the attention of the heroes of the Runing Mansion, ready to watch him show off a wave of operations, but they don't want the local bandits who should be trembling to hit the door instead, and drive his outposts away When he came back, the second brother couldn't hold back his face.

The second brother had already spoken his big words, but now the door of the house was blocked by people, which made the second brother's face where to put it.

"General, in fact, Liu Hongqi took the initiative to call on the door. It may not be a good thing." Jin Shenghuan thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "The official army let him occupy Suiping, but did not send troops to destroy it. The main reason is that Liu Hongqi's lair is in Funiu Mountain. It’s easy to encircle and suppress. Now he left Suiping and took the initiative to fight up, and ran to the shore with the rice field eel, purely looking for death.”

Naturally, Gao Yihuan was not afraid of this Liu Hongqi, but he was robbed of the convoy first, and now he slapped him again, feeling a little depressed.

"Huchen is right." Gao Yihuan nodded, "I just can't figure it out, where does this turtle's grandson get his self-confidence? Doesn't he know that he is looking for death again?"

Both of them thought that the other was a toad jumping into the frying pan, looking for his own death, and they despised each other, but generally speaking, the contempt of the second brother still had some basis, and Liu Hongqi's judgment was purely subjective.

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan waved Dai Jinghong to get up, and then called everyone to come to the sand table in the tent.

Gao Yihuan clasped his hands in front of his chest, stared at the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "I can't let this Liu Hongqi approach the city of Runing, or it will damage my prestige."

"General, let the army go up to welcome them and set up formations in the Ru River Valley. The terrain here is narrow, and Liu Hongqi's tens of thousands of people can't use it, so it is beneficial to us." Jin Shenghuan glanced at the sand table, pointed to a place, and said.

Gao Yihuan cast his eyes over and nodded slightly, "Well, this place is good, suitable for our decisive battle." After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan stared at the sand table again, and asked, "Is there any other way to go to Suiping County besides taking the Shiyang River Valley? "

"Yes, go up the valley of the Huangyou River and go upstream for more than 40 miles, which is the official road connecting Suiping and Queshan. After walking north for half a day, you can reach the south of Suiping City. However, the valley of the Huangyou River is rough and not suitable for large troops. Walk through." Zuo Jun followed Ding Qirui to suppress bandits in Runing, Nanyang, so Jin Shenghuan is quite familiar with the terrain.

Gao Yihuan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Xinghao, I will give you two divisions to stay in Runing. Huang San, you lead two divisions, go to the Huangyou River Valley, and surround Suiping. The rest of the troops immediately leave camp. , I will face Liu Hongqi!"
