Wang Meng was about to try, and Hongguang said with a face full of face: "The main force of the official army is Bocheng, and the imperial envoy surnamed Chen is also there. If Bocheng is broken, Bocheng, the official army on the front line of Changheng will inevitably be defeated. Immortals, please allow me a military horse to take the Chen Ao head."

Xu Shenfu smiled and couldn't help but look at Wang Meng with appreciation, and couldn't help but feel confident. This confidence came from his understanding of the Song Dynasty court. Zhao Ji ascended the throne, and the new and old parties in the court fought against each other. The officials in the court only knew how to fight for power and profit without a country, but only knew how to plunder and exploit, but did not know how to have a country. Over the past ten years, it has reached the point where the oil was exhausted.

There is also the so-called imperial guards, as the strongest armed force in the Song Dynasty, and its degree of decay is even more unexpected. Half of the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards who have been paid for their empty salary, were mostly old and weak, and even more so, it is not uncommon to not practice for a year.

At the beginning, Xu Shenfu was a little worried, but after the battle with Gao Qiu, he was no longer scrupulous of the imperial guards. Although most of his believers were from the Xiang army and civilians, his morale was as strong as a rainbow and he had seen blood. It was no longer the same as before. In addition, the Tianyi Sect was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it was not uncommon to have one gram of three.

What he was most worried about was that the Song Dynasty sent border troops to encircle and suppress, but now, the accurate news was that the Song court actually had great confidence in the imperial guards and actually asked the border troops to garrison on the spot. In this way, what the Tianyi Sect had to face was nothing more than the imperial guards and the wing troops near the capital.

As long as you break through the front line of Bocheng, the capital will inevitably be shocked. At that time, if you take advantage of the troubled waters, take over Bianjing, it will be a big problem to win the world.

Xu Shenfu took a desperate bet, and there was no reason. If he succeeded, he would rule the world, but if he failed, he would just die.

Xu Shenfu said in a deep voice: "Wang Meng, you will take ten thousand people as the vanguard and take the Bocheng directly. The other tribes will attack Changheng, Sourzao, and Fengqiu towns. All the immortal friends, Xuantian Holy Dao, save all the mortal worlds, and all kinds of evil are evil. Cleanse and rebirth, and be protected by the Emperor of Heaven. Even if you die, you will live. Go."

The Taoist priests said one after another: "The Xuantian Holy Way, saves all the mortal worlds, is a sin, washes and rebirth."

Especially Wang Meng, who shouted very enthusiastically, after saying that, he drove down the hillside and sent orders.

The believers selected by Wang Meng were the most elite and fierce dead soldiers in the Tianyi Sect. They captured several towns in a row and were the first to enter Jingji Road. The scouts on the side of the Majunsi did not dare to approach them, so they stared at them from afar, and then went back to report.

"So fast?" Chen Ao was a little surprised. At this time, he had a new understanding of the strength of the Tianyi Sect. These people are not simple!

Chen Ao was sitting on the head of the county government office and said slowly: "This military horse is the vanguard, and must be the elite of the Tianyi Sect bandits. Their number is about ten thousand people, coming lightly. The food they brought must not be much, and the rear may not be able to provide supplies for a while."

Chen Ao's analysis made Han Shizhong and others look at him with admiration. Although this is common military knowledge, Lord Shen usually only recites poetry and sleeps. Everyone thinks he is a nerd, but he doesn't expect that there is some truth to analyze it.

Han Shizhong said: "Since that's the case, it only takes ten days and half a month to defend Bocheng..."

Chen Ao interrupted him and said, "No, once you are surrounded, you will lose the opportunity. Then you will only be beaten passively. I..." He stood up and glared at everyone: "My order is to wipe out the vanguard of this bandit army and annihilate them first, and the Tianyi Sect will be defeated!"

Chen arrogantly paced on the desk and said, "Otherwise the war will be delayed, not only will the Gyeonggi Province be unstable, but the court will also be shocked. We don't have much time, so we can only give it a try and fight the Tianyi Sect and the death."

"Fighting behind the city?" Everyone was stunned, feeling that Chen Ao was speechless.

Chen Ao shook his head: "It's not about fighting behind the city. The city is forty miles south of Bocheng. The terrain is relatively open and has access to all sides, which is most suitable for decisive battles."

"Did you say you want to abandon the city?"

Chen Ao nodded.

Han Shizhong said angrily: "Sir, the consequences of Bocheng are unimaginable. Sir. Think twice. If the bandit army occupy Bocheng and does not pursue him, what should we do?"

Chen Ao said calmly: "They will definitely pursue them. The rations they bring will never exceed half a month. If we cannot defeat us in one fell swoop, once the rear cannot provide assistance, we will be surrounded by the city. They cannot afford this consequence. On our way to retreat, we can move the people out, take away all the food that can be taken away, and burn everything that cannot be taken away; they have no choice to strengthen the walls and clear the fields."

Chen Ao's idea is too crazy. He gave up the most advantageous thing to wait for work and defended the wall, but he went to seek a decisive battle.

Everyone was stunned, and Han Shizhong said: "Sir, Bocheng has only the Central Army and the Second Battalion of the Right Army, with only 6,000 people. They can use 6,000 people to resist more than 10,000 elite troops of the Tianyi Sect. The victory or defeat is unpredictable. It's okay to win, but if you lose, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chen Ao shook his head and said, "I won't lose, nor will it be 6,000 to 10,000. I am a human-sea tactic, and it's 20,000 to 10,000."

"Twenty thousand to ten thousand? Where are the extra people out of thin air? Is it because I have added all the people in Bocheng?" Everyone was puzzled.

Han Shizhong wanted to ask again, Chen Aoye had a stern face: "Okay, everyone should prepare. The aftermath in the city must be handled properly. We must give certain compensation to the people who follow the army. We must also tell them that after this battle, we will pay silver for them to come back and rebuild their homes."

Chen Ao beat him up, went back to Houya, took out his pen and ink in his dormitory, and began to write various orders. He stayed until late at night before sleeping on the desk with his clothes.

Because I had prepared before, the matter of abandoning Bocheng was not too busy. It took only three or two days to make Bocheng empty; and the people who stayed behind burned the food and mules and horses that they could not take away, and ran to meet with most of them.

Wang Meng was slightly stunned when he heard the scout's reward. For no reason, he actually abandoned Bocheng. This Bocheng has a great relationship. Could it be that Chen's surname is crazy? The war is really boring to fight this point. People like Wang Meng who have ideals in their hearts and are determined to make contributions find it even more boring to meet this pig-like opponent.

Before the fight was hit, the person ran away, just like a boxer trying his best to knock down his opponent in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, before the referee could start, the opponent had already raised the white flag. In order to attack the city, Wang Meng had already reserved many plans, such as strong attack, digging tunnels, flooding, etc., now it is useless.

When he led his troops to Bocheng, he saw that it had turned into an empty city. Wang Meng felt even more disappointed. He ordered the believers to rest for a while and immediately issued an order to continue to advance and pursue.

Wang Meng's order was naturally questioned, saying that the government army was not messy when it retreated, and it was very orderly. At this time, there might not be any ambush. Wang Meng gave only one reason: there was no food in the army, and there was no food in the city. He wanted to get food, and there was no food in the government army!

This reason is sufficient and convincing, but for the sake of caution, the pioneer of the Tianyi Sect still slowed down. This time, many scouts were sent, and as soon as there was a turbulence, they stopped immediately. It was not until two days later that the traces of the official army were discovered.

Target, Qingheping.

…………

The city of Bianjing is already in panic, and various news is renovated every day. Messengers traveling to and from Jingji North Road and Bianjing are frequently in and out. Now the City Gate Office has strengthened its vigilance and closed the gates in the city, leaving only the small gates for the public to enter and exit, guarding the three floors of the city and the three floors of the outside, as if facing a great enemy.

It was the scorching sun at this time, and the scorching sun seemed to be about to dry the entire earth, and the heat was squeaking everywhere. The city drew in the doorway to avoid the unintentional heat.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and the sound became louder and louder. The city officials stopped whispering. Some experienced people knew that the riders were riding military horses, and the sound of the hooves fell to the ground was powerful and very agile.

At this time, a man in a green hat came over from outside the city and was immediately stopped by the city diving when he arrived at the gate. Everyone shouted and said, "Who is it? You know that the City Gate Division has already given an order. No one is allowed to enter or exit without the insurance policy issued by the City Gate Division."

The man in the green hat was tanned on his face. He looked like a relative of a wealthy family in the city gate. He smiled coldly, but his attitude was very arrogant. He raised his whip and snarled in the air, shouting: "Your dog eyes are blind. What is the City Gate? If you want a policy, go to my master to ask for it."

Then he felt guilty immediately. People dared to say such words, they must have relied on it. This is Bianjing, neither Suhang nor Xijing. Who knows which master is accompanied by, and his attitude eased a little: "Who is your master?"

"The Grand Tutor of the Dynasty, Mr. Cai." He stopped talking and had already stopped moving forward.

When he heard the word "Taishi", no one said anything. They all avoided one word, and they all burst into cold sweat and hugged their fists: "Occurrence."

Without saying a word, Chang Sui pulled his horse into the city and headed straight to Cai’s Mansion.

A letter was sent to Cai Jing's hand. Cai Jing stood up, a ray of light emitted from his eyes, and then sat down again, as if he was hesitating again, pondering for a moment, looking at the person who delivered the letter, "The news is true?"

"Reply to the master's words, the news is very true. Bo City is empty. Shen Ao led the military and civilians to retreat to Qingheping..."

"He is so brave. He also gave up the fortress such as Bocheng. I also thought he had some ability. It turned out that he was already afraid to fight before the bandits arrived. Humph, well, this time I fulfilled my wish. Who else knows this news?"

Chang Sui said: "It should be the first one to deliver it to the court. I am afraid that the report from the court will not arrive until night."

"At night..." Cai Jinghe nodded: "I will send a post to invite people. Those who often come to the mansion will invite you. It's time."
