The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Lujiao Pass, south of Pingyuan County, separated from Qi County by a river.

Liu Zhen general dressed in a neat manner and led a team to the ferry to greet him. At some point, a floating bridge had been built on the Yellow River.

In the darkness, a little bit of fire light winds over, like a fire dragon.

This fire dragon came to the north shore through the pontoon bridge. They all had high heads and big horses, each wearing armor and holding sharp edges. The well-equipped general Liu Zhen was envious.

"General Liu Zhen, we're meeting again."

"The last general will pay homage to Mr. Luo." Liu Zhenjiang saw that the person who greeted him was the famous young man, so he hurriedly got out of his saddle and gave in to him.

"Old Liu, we are all old friends, so we don't need to be so polite."

Liu Zhenjiang looked at Luo Cheng quietly. He hadn't seen him for more than two years, and Luo Cheng seemed to have become dissatisfied. He was still so domineering, but before he thought that half of the domineering was arrogant, but now he only felt that this domineering aura was all about confidence exuding from the inside out.

"The eight hundred soldiers in Lujiao Pass have all gathered together. You can listen to the orders of the Marshal Hou Luo at any time."

Old Liu didn't know why Luo Cheng, the Henan ambassador, came to cross the Yellow River, but since Luo Cheng sent someone to say that he wanted to lead the back to cross the river, he didn't dare to stop him.

Although according to the system, Luo Cheng led his troops across the Yellow River, which was to cross the border and actuate his troops. But who wouldn't know that Luo Cheng is the most popular general in front of the emperor today?

Not to mention stopping Luo Cheng, even if Luo Cheng wants to transfer the soldiers from Lujiao Pass, he will not say a word.

"The matter is urgent. If you haven't come before, I will tell you in detail. I have detected several bandits and bandits. Recently, they have crossed the river and entered the Pingyuan County. According to my reconnaissance, they are united and are preparing to attack the Pingyuan County. The military situation is urgent, so I have chased the river and come in person."

This explanation made Lao Liu smile helplessly, what is this reason?

The thief is in Henan, and Luo Cheng can chase and fight, but after crossing the Yellow River and reaching the boundary of Hebei, he shouldn't have chased the boundary. However, Luo Cheng's current status is high, so he said he was chasing the thieves and bandits, and said that the thieves wanted to attack Pingyuan County, so chasing them is also a reason.

"There is still this matter, and these thieves are too bold."

Luo Cheng didn't plan to talk to Liu Zhenjiang.

"There are many thieves this time. As far as I know, there are dozens of thieves and bandits connected together, claiming to be 100,000. However, in fact, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 old thieves and bandits, so they should not be underestimated. The north side of Pingyuan County is the canal and the southeast is the Yellow River. This second eastern expedition has begun. The food on the east and north ends must be transported by the canal. Once the bandits capture the plain and cut off the canal, it will be quite troublesome, so we must eliminate this group of thieves and bandits."

Then Luo Cheng said to Lao Liu very bluntly that he would let Lao Liu take his 800 troops to serve as a vanguard guide for his troops. As for Lujiao Pass, he would hand it over to Guo Xiaoke, who was from Luo Cheng's troops to be responsible for guarding.

"I wonder how many troops the Grand Marshal brought over?"

"Not much, only eight thousand." Luo Cheng smiled.

In fact, Luo Cheng was considered to be a huge war. His five thousand troops, plus the soldiers of Qi County and Zhangqiu, besides letting Zhao Gui lead an army to station in Beihai, the remaining soldiers of Qi County were brought by Luo Cheng.

Old Liu did not refuse, and he dared not refuse. Although this did not comply with the rules, how could his small town be able to beat Luo Cheng?

Eight thousand Henan soldiers were continuously crossing the river through the floating bridge, and Wei Zheng didn't know when he would come behind Luo Cheng.

"Your step is very risky."

It is indeed a bold thing to lead 8,000 troops out of Henan and Hebei without an imperial edict. Luo Cheng had secretly summoned troops and horses before, but he had not passed the court yet. Now he has led his troops to cross the border. I wonder how many people will impeach Luo Cheng.

"I know, but Pingyuan County is just north of my Qi County, separated by a river. All signs this time reveal that the bandits who wanted to attack Pingyuan were actually Yang Xuangan and Li Mi's people. At this time, they gathered in Pingyuan and also wanted to capture Pingyuan County, in preparation for Yang Xuangan's rebellion."

Pingyuan and Ji County are separated by Wuyang and Qinghe County, but the Yellow River and Canal are connected between the two counties, so it is very convenient to connect. Once Yang Xuangan rebelled in Ji County, these bandits in Pingyuan County can not only block the canal, but also intercept the Sui army heading south in the north to Zhuo County, but also quickly meet with Yang Xuangan.

Another thing is to defend the plains, and then the troops of Qi County will be blocked from heading north.

"You can't let Yang Xuangan succeed. If this guy takes advantage of the situation, Hebei and Henan will be empty, and this guy will be able to turn things around. The Central Plains are now in chaos. If he does this, he will have to make the land uninhabited thousands of miles away. At the very least, we must think about our family, right?"

Yang Xuangan wanted to rebel. Although he had been secretly operating for many years and the Yang family of Hongnong was also powerful, he was rebelling in Liyang after all. No matter how famous Yang Xuangan is, he had not many available soldiers here, so he still needed these thieves whom Li Mi contacted him.

With the rice in Li Yang's warehouse and the soldiers of various rebels, Yang Xuangan climbed up and shouted, and then he would gather thousands of troops.

Luo Cheng estimated that Yang Xuangan might have been in trouble around May. At that time, Luo Cheng was probably also in Yalu River, so he was worried. Originally, the counties in Henan were messed up by bandits. If Yang Xuangan came to the big deal again, the Central Plains would probably be in chaos.

In this chaos in the Central Plains, how could Qi County and Zhangqiu become a place outside the world?

Pingyuan County, Douzigang.

One group of people came one after another, squeezing the salt water into a very lively atmosphere.

Du Yanbing, Wang Run, Li Deyi, Ge Qian, Gao Kaidao, Sun Yaxuan, Shi Zhilan, Hao Xiaode and other rebel leaders led their troops to come.

King Qi Sun Yaxuan is a fat Hebei man like a ball. His big beard is his logo. He has been active in the plains and Bohai Sea area in the past two years. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the eastern expedition to Hebei, he is now known as 100,000 troops, but there are also 7,000 old thieves who can fight, which is indeed strong.

After having so many soldiers, Sun Yaxuan couldn't wait to call himself King Qi.

And together with him, the other thief kings are not willing to stay under others.

So Gao Kaidao called himself the King of Yan, but Ge Qian also called himself the King of Yan. So in the green forest, everyone had to call Ge Qian in the north the King of Northern Yan, and Gao Kaidao in the south the King of Southern Yan.

In addition, Li Deyi inherited Liu Badao's uncle army and also called himself King Zhao.

Hao Chide, who originated in Henan, called himself King of Lu, while Gao Shida called himself King of Donghai and others.

For a time, seven or eight anti-kings and more than a dozen anti-publics gathered, which was very lively.

"Someone led 20,000 troops to join the alliance." King Sun Yaxuan of Qi said.

"I have also led 20,000 troops to come." King Lu He Xiaode patted his chest and said. The two kings of Yan there were not showing weakness, and each claimed that they had brought 30,000 troops.

Even the Donghai Gong Gao Shida said that he brought 10,000 troops.

After everyone reported on their own, the number of people brought by each company was as high as 200,000.

"Then we will be called 500,000 rebels, the 18th Route Rebels, and we will attack Pingyuan County City together."

"Okay, I'll call it 500,000, and I'll scare the dog officials in Pingyuan City."

Li Mi did not sit with these anti-kings and anti-public men. He was accompanied by his student Wang Bodang under a thatched cottage in the distance, drinking tea while watching the lively scene there.
