"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 993
? In Shuangshui Mansion in the west of Luyang Province, Liu Yan's 100,000 imperial guards stationed there, immediately making the desolate and dilapidated city crowded with people and bustling.
The dark red blood stains left on the street showed that not long ago, there was a brutal battle here.
The first part of the Qinghe Army's Independent Third Banner Regiment previously occupied Shuangshui Mansion, but faced with the strong front of the imperial guards, they were defeated again.
Including Shuangshui Mansion, the Independent Third Banner Regiment led by Du Xiaoniu has lost more than ten important towns in a short period of time.
With the loss of these important towns, Du Xiaoniu, the head of the banner, also realized that it was obvious that they were not opponents if they wanted to go head-to-head with the Imperial Guards.
Therefore, Du Xiaoniu was also straightforward and decisive, and directly ordered to abandon the occupied towns, shrink his troops, and return to his old business.
After all, Du Xiaoniu was able to be active behind enemy lines for a long time, relying on his flexible fighting methods, rather than fighting for towns.
The independent flag regiment troops that occupied various towns began to evacuate on their own initiative and moved to the countryside.
Such a move by the Independent Banner Regiment undoubtedly gave the Imperial Guard troops a great illusion that the Qinghe Army and the Independent Banner Regiment were not their opponents, and they were scared out of their wits.
?In the luxurious Admiral's Mansion in Shuangshui Mansion, a grand banquet was being held. More than ten tables were seated by wealthy gentry and officials, and even the courtyard was filled with banquets.
"On behalf of the Liming people of Shuangshui Mansion, I would like to thank General Liu for leading the army to rescue. I would like to respect General Liu and all the generals."
After the admiral of Shuangshui Mansion saw that the imperial guards occupied Shuangshui Mansion, he was driven away by the Qinghe Army and came back again, and he regarded himself as the master.
"It's easy to talk about."
General Liu Yan, the general of Zhengdong, also needed the admiral of Shuangshui Mansion to raise military rations for him and appease the people, so although he didn't like this timid coward, he still had a smile on his face.
"Good things come in pairs. Let me offer another glass of wine to General Liu. I wish General Liu continuous victories and wipe out the bandits as soon as possible."
After drinking a glass of wine, the admiral of Shuangshui Mansion raised his glass again. During the toast, the atmosphere of the banquet was extremely warm.
"The thieves have become grasshoppers after autumn, and it won't be long before they jump. My 100,000 imperial guards are all elites in hundreds of battles, and it's easy to destroy them!"
It was the first time that Liu Yan, the general of Zhengdong, led the army alone, and he was also full of confidence in the face of successive victories.
Liu Yan couldn't imagine why the more than 200,000 mighty troops of the Qinghe Army were defeated.
But what Liu Yan didn't know was that what he was facing was not the field troops of the Qinghe Army, but a motley crew active in the enemy's rear.
Moreover, this miscellaneous army originally had a small number of troops. In order to occupy the various counties, the troops became more and more scattered, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.
However, the consecutive victories have already dazzled Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, and made him misjudge the strength of the Qinghe Army.
After all, under the influence of continuous victories, whether the coach can be calm is also an important prerequisite for continued victories.
Once the coach is dazzled, he will inevitably make a mistake in judging the situation, and then he is not far from failure.
When Liu Yan was flattered by the compliments of officials and gentry, a burly officer of the Imperial Guard strode up to Liu Yan.
"General, according to a detailed report, a large number of transport convoys were found in the northeast direction, which seems to be the gold, silver and jewels looted by the bandits."
The officer of the Imperial Guard attached himself to the ear of General Liu Yan, who was blushing from drinking, and whispered a few words.
"Is this true?"
After hearing the words of the Imperial Guard officer, Liu Yan's eyes also flashed with joy.
"I'm at least 80% sure that the secret agents are the Qilin Guards. They are few in number and unable to intercept the bandit army's transfer of gold, silver and jewels. They want our assistance." The officer of the Imperial Guard whispered.
"You personally led 5,000 people to seize this batch of gold, silver and jewels."
The Qinghe Army swept across the western part of Luyang Province and seized a lot of gold and silver, so Liu Yan was very excited.
If this batch of money falls into his hands, he will become rich. It is really easy to get it without any effort. The treasure looted by the thieves is now made into a wedding dress for him.
"By the way, the Qilin Guards are dealt with together, so don't leave them alive."
Seeing that the Imperial Guard officer was about to leave, Liu Yan?? He waved and added another sentence.
"No!"
After the officer of the imperial guards was taken aback for a moment, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and after a reply, he strode away.
Although Qilin Guard is now under the jurisdiction of Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing, it can be regarded as a powerful department.
But in front of gold and silver treasures, Liu Yan was unwilling to share what he got with others, so he decided to deal with the Qilin Guard who discovered the information.
"General Liu, but what happened?"
The admiral of Shuangshui Mansion, who was having a banquet at the same table, saw an officer of the Imperial Guard looking for Liu Yan, and he also asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious. I just found a small group of bandits. I've already sent people to wipe them out. Come on, let's continue drinking."
Naturally, Liu Yan would not tell the admiral of Shuangshui Mansion that they had discovered a convoy of bandits transporting gold, silver and jewelry.
Not long after, the general of the imperial guards personally led 5,000 well-equipped troops out of the temporary camp of Shuangshuifu and headed northeast.
Because the generals who lead the army know that they are going to rob gold, silver and jewelry, so the speed is also extremely fast.
"Quick, quick!"
"Accelerate forward!"
Under the urging of the general, after only a few hours, they caught up with the Qinghe army transport team that was transferring the gold and silver treasures.
"dash forward!"
Seeing the convoy with countless carts in front, the general of the Imperial Guard shouted excitedly.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard rushed forward one by one like hungry wolves seeing fat.
"Master Banner Leader, the Imperial Guards are catching up."
Seeing the Imperial Guard troops approaching rapidly behind him, Pang Lun, chief of staff, reminded Du Xiaoniu, head of the banner.
? Du Xiaoniu looked back at the imperial guard troops with banners waving in the distance, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Old Pang, act according to the plan." Du Xiaoniu ordered.
"Act according to the plan, fast!"
Chief of Staff Pang Lun quickly yelled loudly, and the speed of the slow-moving transport convoy suddenly accelerated.
Many soldiers of the Qinghe Army deliberately threw some boxes on the carriage on the road, and countless gold, silver and jewels were scattered along the road.
Du Xiaoniu and his convoy fled to the northeast in a panic, and behind them, countless carriages and boxes transporting gold, silver and jewelry were discarded.
"Master General, look!"
The Imperial Guards naturally also saw the fleeing transport convoy, and when they saw the gold, silver and jewels left on the road, they all became short of breath.
