"That's alright, I'll bother you, Mr. Shen, to make a trip!" Luo Tianbao finally made up his mind. Shen Hexi's official position in the army now is that of Soldiers and Horses, so he called him that.

"As ordered." Shen Hexi didn't say much after hearing this. He gave a military salute and was about to leave. Li Congyun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw this.

"Sima, she is a subordinate general. Isn't it appropriate to give her such an important task?"

"Then General Li, why aren't you a surrendered general? Don't trust the people you employ, and ignore the people you doubt. That's it. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible." Luo Tianbao couldn't help but asked with a smile after hearing this. Li Congyun was so impressed by him.

She was immediately speechless after retorting, so Shen Hexi led the personal guards to join the battle group. After all, Shen Hexi was a veteran general. As soon as the battle started, she could see where the Dayou Army was weak. She immediately led the troops to attack fiercely, and she herself was

Rushing to the front, when everyone saw that she, a female general, was so desperate, their spirits immediately rose and they fought bravely to kill the enemy. The battle situation was suddenly brought back to balance.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, suddenly the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. I saw an inexplicable chaos on the right side of Dayou Army, and then the troops began to retreat backwards. Afterwards, Luo Tianbao and others learned that it was Gao Ning who had been bribed before. Seeing that both sides were in trouble

The winner was decided, so he defected before the battle, and asked his soldiers to shout "Dayou Army" was defeated, and then began to retreat. The surrounding Dayou Army did not know what was going on, and when they saw their own troops retreating, they immediately became confused. As a result

It quickly triggered a chain reaction.

Of course, Luo Tianbao and others did not understand what was going on at that time. Seeing an opportunity, they could not let it go, so they ordered the troops to attack the right side of Dayou Army. Although Shi Liwei realized that something was wrong and quickly made adjustments, the army was defeated.

, it was not so easy to turn the tide, but in the end the Dayou Army was defeated. Seeing that the situation was over, Shi Liwei did not even dare to return to Heyang City, and directly withdrew to the southwest of Hezhou with the remaining troops. In the end, the Battle of Heyang was fought to defeat the rebellion.

The army miraculously won a great victory.

In this battle, more than 3,000 prisoners were captured by the rebel army alone. As for the number of casualties, it was difficult to estimate for a while. In the end, at dusk that day, the rebel army occupied Heyang City.

After a night of cleaning up and reorganizing, the rebel army held a grand celebration banquet in the city the next day. After a public discussion among the generals, it was undoubtedly Gao Ning who deserved the most credit. If he hadn't defected before the battle, it's hard to say what the situation would have been like.

, and the second is Shen Hexi, and Luo Tianbao was responsible for the recruitment of these two people. Therefore, after this battle, everyone is unanimously positive about Luo Tianbao's leadership ability.

And Luo Tianbao did not treat the heroes badly. Not only did Gao Ning get his wish and regain his lover Jin Mudan, Luo Tianbao also appointed him as the acting Hezhou defense envoy. He was on the same level as Shen Hexi and Li Congyun before the surrender, and he controlled the military power of a state. Gao Ning learned that

He was overjoyed by this. In fact, he was a little hesitant during the Battle of Heyang. He was afraid that Luo Tianbao and others would kill him, so he waited until the battle was almost evenly matched before switching sides. He didn't expect that Luo Tianbao would use him so highly now.

You must know that even Shen Hexi is just a soldier now, so Gao Ning is quite grateful to Luo Tianbao.

As for Shen Hexi, Luo Tianbao only rewarded her with some property and a captured good horse. This was not because Luo Tianbao did not know the reward or punishment, but because he knew that Shen Hexi was too capable and had a bright future, so he still left her appointment to his father.

It's for Lin Yunfei's own good that he can't make the decision without permission.

In addition, Luo Tianbao, the sisters of the Shu family, has not forgotten that he officially promoted them to captains of his own soldiers. Although their official positions are not high, they are his confidants. The sisters of the Shu family also understand that Luo Tianbao intends to reuse his two sisters. At the moment, they are all

Quite satisfied.

Although Heyang was pacified, the war was not over. Shi Liwei was still on the run. The Dayou Army in Hezhou totaled nearly 20,000 people. If he ignored it, he would suffer lifelong consequences. So Luo Tianbao sent people to urge the Dongzhou Army to send troops.

Suppressing Dayou's army in the southeast of Hezhou, they personally led the army to pursue westward. This time they reached Mengcheng on the southwest border of Hezhou in one go. Once they conquered this place, they would open the road to Songzhou, and crossing Songzhou

It will point to Zhongzhou Mansion, which is also the location of Xinjing.

Because Mengcheng's strategic location is so important, Shi Liwei concentrated all nearby troops to defend it this time. After all, the rebel army is still a newly established team. It may be okay to rely on the bravery of the field frontiers. Once

When they entered the siege, they immediately fell into a shortcoming. Coupled with Shi Liwei's good command, Luo Tianbao was unable to capture Mengcheng after more than ten days of fierce attack.

At this time, the news coming from the eastern front made Luo Tianbao a little upset. When the rebel army was waiting for the support of the Dongzhou Army to fight against the Dayou Army, the opponent was slow to move. At that time, Luo Tianbao thought that the Dongzhou Army was unable to defeat the Dayou Army.

, and did not mean to blame, but he did not expect that after the rebel army captured Heyang and tied up the main force of the Dayou Army, the Dongzhou Army suddenly advanced with great success and quickly swallowed up most of the territory in the southeast of Hezhou. Only then did Luo Tianbao understand.

In the past, the senior brother deliberately conserved his strength, waiting for both himself and the Dayou Army to suffer losses. Now that he saw that the rebel army had won, he was afraid that Hezhou would be swallowed up by his father and son, so he took action. In fact, Luo Tianbao was not impressed by the martial arts of the senior brother.

He admired his intelligence from the bottom of his heart, but his selfish character really made him dumbfounded.

It stands to reason that Dongzhou and the rebel army are now allies, and it is better for the territory to fall into their hands than to be controlled by the Dayou Army. However, seeing that the good situation that he and his soldiers worked hard to achieve ended up being a wedding dress for others, Luo Tianbao felt in his heart

He felt that it was not worth it, so when he was in a dilemma, Dayou sent someone from Dayou, saying that he was willing to reconcile with the rebels.

When Luo Tianbao first heard about this, he thought it was quite funny. Now that the rebel army was gaining the upper hand, why should he reconcile with the Dayou Army? However, Zhang Hao reminded him that he should meet with the envoy to understand the purpose of the Dayou Army before making a decision. Luo Tianbao

I thought it didn't matter, so I met the envoy.

The official envoy of the Dayou Army is Honglu Shaoqing Gaozhuang. This man is not a famous person and his official position is not high, but his deputy is an old acquaintance of Luo Tianbao, Kalubi, the third general manager of the Langya Army.

Tianbao and others made a big fuss in Xinjing, and the two sides had been fighting each other for life and death, but now that Kalubi saw Luo Tianbao, he had returned to the playful smile he had when they were still friends.

"Young Master... No, it's time to call you Sima. I didn't expect that in just half a year, you and your son could achieve such a great cause. I admire you."

Luo Tianbao had dealt with Kalubi and knew that this person who looked carefree on the surface was actually ruthless and very skilled in martial arts. But now he was in his military camp, and there were masters like Pan Hong and the Shu sisters who were not afraid of him even if they really took action.

, so Luo Tianbao immediately smiled and said: "It turns out to be the third manager. I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you doing?"

"Don't mention it. When you made such a fuss in Xinjing, all of us were punished. If it weren't for Ye Keisha's friendship with the Holy Father, we, the eighth manager, would have been dismissed from our posts. We have been working hard for the past six months. How have we been lately?

I was reinstated easily, but I didn't expect that you and your son were causing trouble in Hezhou again. Seeing that the war is now tense, the Holy Emperor knew that I have some friendship with you, Sima, so he appointed me as deputy envoy. If your army refuses to negotiate peace this time,
Chapter completed!
