"Come here...invite General Xu Zhong to come to the big tent to discuss matters, and at the same time send an order to all the battalion commanders. Civil and military officials above the clerical level will come to my commander's tent to discuss matters!" Shen Qingjun finished inspecting the big camp, returned to the big tent, and faced a kiss Bing ordered.

"Yes. My lord."

After a while, the tent was filled with people, including battalion commanders and civil and military officials above the clerical level. They all saluted together: "We have met your lord!"

Shen Qingjun, wearing new fish-scale armor, came out from the back tent and sat in the commanding position: "Without courtesy, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone sat down as instructed.

"I am calling you all here to tell you that no one is allowed to remove their armor before the follow-up army arrives...

Regardless of day or night, the battalion commander must inspect the camp every half an hour. The most important thing is that the horses in the camp must be well taken care of to prevent the Liu family from sneaking in and ruining all our previous efforts. "

Shen Qingjun brought all cavalry this time, and the care of the horses is the top priority!

Twenty thousand people are easy to manage and they can understand orders, but forty thousand horses cannot understand orders. The flying cavalry army is rushing on two horses. If it gets frightened and runs around, the entire camp may not be able to control it. Okay, but it takes a lot of effort to care.

Therefore, even if the horses are in a large circle surrounded by six military camps, the horses are divided into four large horse camps and eight small horse camps for placement, striving for safety...

Strictly speaking, as long as the Liu family does not break through the outer military camp, the horses inside will be fine. Shen Qingjun still needs to emphasize his attention!

"Here!" Xu Zhong and others respectfully accepted the order.

"Where is Wang Biao?"

"We are not familiar with Wuwei County, and Tianshui County is the hometown of the Liu family. Before the follow-up army arrives, you will lead 1000 people to patrol the surrounding areas. Anyone who encounters suspicious people will be arrested. If there is resistance, they will be killed."

Ordinary people will stay away when they see the army. Those who do the opposite are probably Liu family spies!
"Yes," Wang Biao accepted the order and retreated.

Sure enough, the Liu family launched many attacks after that, including making loud noises at night in an attempt to scare the horses, disrupt the camp, and prevent the soldiers from sleeping peacefully...

Or they simply sent people to set fire to the grain and grass, pretended to be civilians and approached the military camp to take the opportunity to poison the water source, etc., in order to pull out the knife that had been inserted into their heart, but all failed!

Six days later, Li Yang, the staff officer of Xiong Zong's army, led 6 auxiliary troops and civilians, and finally entered Tianshui County and joined Shen Qingjun.The human race he brought included regular soldiers, auxiliary troops, plus levied civilians, a total of people...

At this point, Shen Qingjun's main battlefield has 5 troops. The civilians are only used to transport food and are not counted as military strength!
With the arrival of the follow-up troops, they re-selected a new location to set up camp. While protecting Shen Qingjun's cavalry, they completely blocked the Liu family in their old nest in Tianshui!Blocking the way for the Liu family to move!

Of course, when the army was camping or when the civilians were transporting grain, Shen Qingjun specifically instructed the soldiers not to trample on the farmland, and to try to choose other places to camp when setting up camp. If the people's farmland was requisitioned as a last resort, or the rice seedlings were damaged, compensation must be given!

This was done not only to protect her property, but also to win the hearts and minds of the people after the war. She was the legal owner of this land!

At almost the same time that Li Yang arrived at the frontal battlefield, Murong Wugong led his Xiong Zhuang Army alone and successfully stationed themselves in Runan County. Further north is Lingwu City, the former northern Wuwei border defense town, but it is still in the hands of the Qiang people. …

But his Xiongjun Army was not full. He only had five thousand cavalry under his command. Although there were few people, he had two horses for one person... Shen Qingjun's massive purchase of horses in the first month was really prescient!

The configuration of five thousand cavalry and two horses was specially allocated by Shen Qingjun to Murong Wugong, just to guard against the Qiang people, because the Qiang people's soldiers and horses were all cavalry, and no cavalry would be fooled by them.

The Qiang people have many connections with the Liu family, and even collude with each other. To deal with the Liu family, in addition to considering the Donghu people, she also has to guard against the Western Qiang people...

Murong Wugong, the leader of Xiong's army, came to Runan County, and his marching staff Li Yang did not accompany him because Shen Qingjun trusted Murong Wugong's ability and loyalty and believed that he was absolutely capable of blocking the Qiang who might move south with 5000 men. After all, Murong Kung Fu proved his handsomeness in his previous life.

Moreover, Shen Qingjun's main battlefield also needed the assistance of civil servants, and Gao Lingying had to guard the home, so Li Yang transferred Shen Qingjun's office to team up with Xu Zhong, the flying cavalry army general.
Anyway, the three armies of Feiqi, Xiongzhen and Zhenzhen all share the same lord, so there is no need for internal transfer of the marching staff!
Standing on the city wall, looking at the Qiang spies below, Murong Wugong looked stern. Of course, he was not afraid of the Qiang spies in front of him, nor was he afraid of the Qiang who might send troops because he only had 5000 men and horses, but he was worried. The main force confronting the Liu family in Tianshui County...

In fact, with his ability, he can seize Lingwu City in a sneak attack!

The reason why he only stationed in Runan County and did not make a surprise attack on Lingwu City, which was occupied by the Qiang people, was simply because the task given to him by Shen Qingjun was to occupy Runan and threaten Lingwu, forcing the Qiang people here not to interfere in their struggle with the Liu family.
As for whether we can capture Lingwu, which was originally Shen Qingjun's city, it doesn't matter. Yes, although Wuwei County has eighteen counties in the territory of the Wei Dynasty,

But in fact, there are three counties that are actually occupied and controlled by the Qiang people. The area of ​​these three counties accounts for nearly half of Wuwei County. Of course, the places controlled by Dawei are the best!
But no matter what, even if Shen Qingjun defeated the Liu family, it would only take more than half of the county. If she wanted to become a veritable Duke of Wuwei, she would have to fight with the Qiang people!
"General, the Qiang people's scouting horses came to the city to provoke them. Do we want to teach them a lesson?" a soldier said angrily.

"No, just expel them!"

"Yes, General."

Murong Wugong's most important task now is to deal with the Liu family, not to conquer the lost territory!He won't ruin the master's plan...

So when he saw the Qiang spies approaching the city, he didn't care about the Qiang people's provocation. As long as the Qiang people didn't send troops south to affect his lord's battle, he didn't care!

On the other side, Huangsha Valley!
In fact, long before Shen Qingjun's army set off, Huang Gong and Fang Jiwei, both civil and military, quietly set out from the Liao family trail with five thousand trapped troops to intercept the Liu family's soldiers and horses hidden in the valley!

Huang Gong was originally a Wuwei soldier, and his 5000 troops had been trying to figure out how to march along the trail. Some centurions and other officers even walked through the trail in person, so it only took two hours for the troops to march. That's all, we rushed to the foot of the cave with Tanshui, where we took a rest for a while.

Why didn't they just let it go?Because the exit after Tanshui is halfway up the mountain, it is not conducive to marching and the movement is too loud, and people in the opposite valley will definitely report it.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they marched quickly. Because the troops were strong and moved quickly, they did not give the patrol teams time to pass the news.In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Huangsha Valley and blocked them before the army inside could react.

What's even better is that, in order to keep things confidential and facilitate management, the Liu family made the Huangsha Valley surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides, with only one entrance and exit that can allow four horses to walk parallelly. This greatly reduced the difficulty for Huang Gong to block people!
His eyes turned to the battlefield in front of the Liu family...

The Liu family tried hard but couldn't drive Shen Qingjun away. They became furious and cursed her for going to war without declaring it!If you want to gain support from public opinion, you have to look for connections everywhere...

I want to define Shen Qingjun's behavior this time as an "unkind war" and a "unjust war". It is the lord's behavior of wantonly snatching the family property of the fief...

I searched everywhere for connections to spread this information to the court. Unfortunately, although the Liu family dominated Wuwei County, there was no official from their family in the center of the court...

After the Liu family had enough dancing, Shen Qingjun revealed the Liu family's hiding of soldiers in Huangsha Valley. With the exposure of the hidden soldiers in Huangsha Valley, the Liu family's ambitions were revealed to the world.
So far, the Liu family's actions have not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also made them aware of their lack of connections and favors!It was also confirmed that he was actually rebellious.

Liujiabao.

Liu Su found that despite his many efforts, not only was he unable to drive away Shen Qingjun, but he was able to gain a firm foothold for her... Moreover, his private soldiers were discovered by him and turned against him, making him furious.

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. A little girl, a lucky person. Our Liu family didn't bother her, but she dared to send troops to besiege me!" The head of the Liu family sneered!Even if the situation is at a disadvantage, you can't admit defeat and show weakness.

"Brother, I sent people to check the situation to report that the exit of Huangsha Valley has indeed been blocked by the army, and the fifth brother's men and horses are all trapped inside... It's so quiet, it seems that they have a premeditated plan! Liu Ming said, the fifth brother he mentioned was Liu Jue.

"I have thought of this a long time ago." Liu Su answered:

"Actually, when Shen Qingjun just raided me, I sent a message to my fifth brother, asking him to mobilize the Huangsha Valley army to take down the Wuwei County City! But more than ten days have passed, and my fifth brother has not replied, but he has always hoped fantasy……"

"Father, my Liu family has been training troops in Huangsha Valley for two or three years, and it has never been leaked. How come Shen Qingjun knew it as soon as he arrived, and was able to bypass our arrangement and block the entrance of the valley? Someone must have leaked the secret..." Liu Su said.

"My son's words are reasonable. I don't know who leaked the secret of the hidden soldiers in Huangsha Valley. If I find out that anyone's heart was in Cao's camp and he was born in Han, I will have his skin cramped and skinned!"

As he spoke, Liu Su glanced at his two younger brothers, Yai and Qian, with a fierce look. It was a tradition in the Liu family to suspect a bastard in advance.

"Brother, nephew Su, the people who leaked the secret are definitely not me and Brother Zhen! Before this, we didn't even know about the family training in Huangsha Valley, how could we leak the secret..." Liu Yai of Short Winter Melon said. He said it with sadness, grievance and fear.

Did he know that if their cruel eldest brother and equally cruel nephew really suspected that they were the ones who leaked the secret, they would definitely be ripped apart? This was definitely not a threat, so explain quickly!
Fortunately, the concubine of this family was already a marginalized person. It was his and his younger brother's destiny to eat, drink and have fun until they died.

We don’t know anything about the family affairs, otherwise we won’t be able to explain them clearly. If we want to leak the secrets, we have to know the secrets!

In fact, if Liu Can knew about the Liu family secretly raising soldiers, he might actually tell the truth. He would never dream of destroying the Liu family!pity……

Sure enough, upon hearing Liu Yai's explanation, Liu Su and his son moved their gazes away from Brother Yai Yai.

"Brother, maybe your adopted sons and brothers have different intentions. Although their surname is Liu, they are not the real Liu family! In the past, there was no chance for loyalty. Now seeing that Wuwei County is so powerful, they want to use my Liu family to attack Wuwei. The county prince might be able to exchange for glory and wealth."

Seeing that he was safe, Liu Yai immediately attacked Liu Su's adopted brother and adopted son. As a real Liu family member, he was not valued at all in the Liu family, but he saw those outsiders who just had the word "Liu" working in the Liu family. How could he not be resentful if he was so powerful?

"Brother, my life and everything I have are given by my father and you. Although I do not bleed the blood of the Liu family, I am absolutely loyal to you, eldest brother! The same is true for my younger brother. We have served the family for more than 30 years, how can we still Can’t you explain my loyalty?”

Liu Ming said sincerely that the 'father' he mentioned was Liu Su's father. After all, they were sworn brothers!He really treats himself as a member of the Liu family.

"Brother Ming, there is no need to explain, I believe you." Liu Su looked at Liu Ming and said calmly, "Second brother, why don't you apologize to Brother Ming quickly!" After that, he ordered Liu Can sternly.

"Big brother..."

"Big brother..."

The two words "big brother", the former affectionate, are Liu Ming's moved voice, and the latter angry, are Liu Can's unwillingness.

"What I just said didn't mention Brother Ming and Brother Jue. I only doubted your adopted sons. They are still young and have a strong ambition for success. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand any temptation..."

Liu Quan did not apologize. Seeing that his words could not hurt Liu Ming and Liu Jue, he attacked Liu Su's adopted son. The two of them had more than 30 years of loyalty, but those adopted sons did not!And young people are most easily seduced by power and wealth!
Liu Su didn't have any intention of asking Liu Quan to apologize. Liu Quan's ability to slander Liu Ming and other sworn brothers and sons was actually his secret indulgence. How could a person like him be on guard against even his own brothers? How could he completely trust others? .

The existence of Liu Can is actually a kind of suppression of Liu Ming and Liu Jue!Let them keep their nerves tight at all times and not dare to have any objections.

"Shut up, I asked you to come here to discuss how to deal with Shen Qingjun, not to deal with one of our own people." Liu Su was shocked and felt that what the second brother said was reasonable, but he still pretended to be angry.

"Get out of here, and don't come back to discuss matters in the future. I'll get annoyed when I see you!" He pointed at the two brothers Yaizhen and told them to go out.

"Humph, get out, just get out. As if we can have a say in family discussions, it doesn't matter if you don't participate in this meeting! Brother Zhen, let's go!" Short winter melon left with a thin bamboo pole without saying a word.

"Father, why don't we leave too! My second uncle is right, our temperament is still uncertain... We know that if we can't hide secrets, things can easily happen..."

"Just sit here and don't leave. Although you are young, I can definitely trust you." Liu Su said, but thought in his heart:
