Late Tang

On February [-]th, on the south bank of the Juma River, the Longxiang Army, the First Army of the New Infantry Army, received the military order, broke out of camp and set off, following the victory of the Jie army in Jinjia.Hearing the order to set off, the soldiers in Wudu, the fifth capital in the left wing, were all elated.They have been here for a few days, camping in the wild during the cold spring in late February, and have to sleep wearing armor and holding weapons every night, which is really uncomfortable.

Instead of staying here, they are looking forward to going to the battlefield, fighting vigorously, but in exchange for military rewards.

Guo Xiong led his horse, and began to tie tents, blankets and other equipment to the horse.

He was originally a united soldier of the Dengzhou Unity Battalion, but he participated in the battle of Liaoxi two years ago and performed outstandingly. Later, he participated in the battle of Liaoxi and the subsequent battle of destroying Goguryeo. He praised the Japanese army and became a sergeant.Last autumn, his eldest brother Guo Wei was awarded the Flying Knight Medal and the Xuntian Xuntian Sword for his military exploits, and became a nobleman.

Because Guo Wei applied to his superiors on his behalf, he won a place for further study for Guo Xiong.After autumn, he entered Liaonan Non-commissioned Officer Academy for half a year.Years later, after returning to the camp early from the military academy, he was immediately promoted and became a sergeant major. He jumped from the military rank of the deputy lieutenant of the ninth rank to a military attache of the ninth rank.

This is the most important transition from soldier to officer.

Since he was promoted, his father Guo Dayan was so excited that he had to brag about it to everyone.Who would have thought that Guo Dayan, whose ancestors had been farming for generations, could still enjoy such a blessing when he was old.The eldest son became a military officer from the eighth rank in one fell swoop, which made his face even more radiant. He felt that the smoke from the ancestral grave was the eldest son who not only became a military officer from the eighth rank, but also became an honorary officer in one fell swoop. Lord of the Lord.

Nobility!

Both the eldest and the second became officers, the eldest became a nobleman, and the status of the old Guo family also changed immediately.Now the eldest daughter-in-law has just given birth to an eldest grandson for Lao Guo's family, and she is overjoyed.Immediately afterwards, countless matchmakers are about to break through the threshold of the old Guo family.Countless families are vying to give their daughters to the second child as daughter-in-law, among them are not only the neighbors in the past, but also a few small officials on the wharf where Guo Dayan works, a few business managers, and even the wife's workshop. There are also many people here who want to marry their daughters to the Guo family.By the way, Guo Dayan's two unmarried daughters also became popular all of a sudden. Countless people wanted to marry the Guo family, and the one who came to propose marriage was more powerful than the other family. From workers to businessmen to scholars to officials' homes, even these people claim that they don't need Guo's dowry at all.

You know, people in Dengzhou are living a relatively rich life nowadays, and as a result, a custom of heavy dowry has also arisen.Marrying a daughter, the more Pingli gives, the more dowry, and the more daughters, it is already beginning to feel like a burden.

"Boss!"

A report interrupted Guo Xiong's thoughts, and his deputy team leader Chen Lin handed over a piece of beef jerky.Guo Xiong took a look. This kind of beef jerky is five-flavored and easy to carry, but it is very satisfying. During the march and war, eating a piece of beef jerky can last half a day.

In the army, officers like Guo Xiong, who are under 30 years old and have studied in martial arts halls, military academies, etc., are privately called "young faction" and "elite faction" by soldiers. Everyone of these people can see the future bright.Especially after the promulgation of the new military service system.

However, Chen Lin, who is over forty years old, but still only a deputy commander, and a low-level officer with little literacy, is a completely different category.Most of their way out is to change jobs in the local government. They go to places like the police station, urban management bureau, and security team. They really don't have much future if they stay in the army.

Because of this, Chen Lin, the older deputy head, didn't have any other thoughts about his boss, Guo Xiong, who was only half his age.Guo Xiong is like the sun rising in the east, but he is already setting in the west, so why should he overreach himself to embarrass a young officer with no future, let alone, although Guo Xiong treats his brother as the leader of the Shengjie Army's military situation department, and He still keeps silent about the upstart holding a dog-legged sword who won the flying knight medal and became a knight in less than [-] years, but Chen Lin has a clear understanding of the situation of this new boss from his fellow villagers. Yes, and there will be no other thoughts that should not be had.

"Please tell me the boss."

Guo Xiong nodded, chewing the five-spice beef jerky, tidied up his training uniform, swallowed the jerky, adjusted his helmet, and walked to the front team.

A group of two corps soldiers, under the leadership of two sergeant corporals, were all neatly packed and stood straight in two rows.

Respect each other.

"Listen everyone, this time our target is Guiyi County, Zhuozhou, eighty miles to the southwest. According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, Guiyi County has now gathered the main forces of Mo and Yingzhou and Liu Yue's army of [-] soldiers and horses. .”

Although the Longxiang army was an infantry army, it was also an elite army. Although the number of [-] soldiers and horses was not small, it did not move them at all.There are [-] infantry in the camp here, not to mention [-] cavalry.In the eyes of all soldiers, Guiyi City is a dish, a mouth-watering dish.

Zhang Xiong is very satisfied with the self-confidence and composure of the brothers below, the soldiers are much stronger than the united soldiers.Immediately continued: "The [-] soldiers and horses are our goal this time. Of course, the cavalry brothers have already set off first, and our task is to move with the Chinese army. When we arrive at Guiyi County, The task of siege is still to be completed by our brothers in the infantry. Brothers, this is an opportunity to make contributions, our [-] infantry will be responsible for the siege, and the [-] cavalry will guard us!"

Guo Xiong is just a team leader. In fact, when a war starts, at least he mobilizes in units of teams.They only need to follow the movement of their team's flag.So Guo Xiong didn't say much, he shot the eight-foot flag gun in his hand, and the bright triangular red flag waved.

"During the war, you two corporal commanders, the old knife handle and the donkey driver, looked at my flag gun and followed me closely. The other brothers followed your corporal commander's flag gun. I won't say more. In short, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don’t miss it. Everyone is working hard, maybe this time you can earn a flying ride, a tiger medal, become a knight, and wear a sword from now on, and be a nobleman. "

A group of soldiers became excited. Today's military exploits are the most valuable. Such an opportunity is indeed rare.Even if you die at that time, don't be afraid. Anyway, the pension in the army is very heavy, and the wife and children are also supported by the government.

Take a knife to win a fortune, die and count!

Guiyi County, which belongs to Zhuozhou, is roughly located in Xiong County and Rongcheng in later generations.

At this time, in this small county town, [-] soldiers and horses from Liu Yue's, Liu Rengong's, and Li Quanzhong's tribes gathered, and most of the soldiers from the three prefectures of Moyingzhuo were gathered.

Night was about to fall, and under the gloomy sky, Guiyi City had already become a large barracks.

The [-] infantry of the three families plus the [-] cavalry made this place full of hustle and bustle.In addition to these soldiers, the logistics auxiliary soldiers who came later were no less than the soldiers. The [-] soldiers and horses in Yingzhou were led by Li Quanzhong's son, the Yiwu Army, who was nicknamed King Jintou. In addition to the [-] infantry and [-] cavalry under the leadership of the governor Li Kuangwei, the Golden Head King also brought [-] young and strong men to transport food, grass and equipment.

Liu Rengong, the governor of Mozhou and Dingba, who led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, also brought [-] young and strong auxiliary soldiers.

Liu Yue's subordinates in Guiyi County also recruited [-] auxiliary soldiers.

In this way, there are [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in Guiyi County at this time.In addition, there are [-] auxiliary soldiers. The entire city is overcrowded and soldiers are everywhere.

The three troops gathered together, Li Kuangwei occupied the east of the city, Liu Rengong occupied the south of the city, and Zhang Xingze, the governor of Zhuozhou, occupied the north of the city.Except for Zhang Xingze's soldiers stationed in the camp, the soldiers of Li Kuangwei and Liu Rengong lived directly in the homes of the people. The people couldn't go back to their homes. Instead, they had to build a large temporary tent in the west of the city, making the west of the city look like a desert. refugee camp.

The generals of the three divisions met in the original county government office. Calculated, Liu Rengong's prestige was higher among the three divisions, so in the end this coalition army was dominated by Liu Rengong, with Li Kuangwei and Zhang Xingze as deputy.

Sitting in the county office, Liu Rengong drank hot tea and was very satisfied.

"Cough cough!"

Liu Rengong coughed a few times and drew the generals' attention.

"Everyone, I have received the news that King Zhao has gathered [-] troops including [-] fine cavalry in Cangzhou City. Also, the [-] soldiers sent by King Zhao have been divided into two groups and successfully captured Dezhou and Dizhou, soldiers block the Yellow River." After speaking, Liu Rengong smiled slightly, and took a sip of hot tea from his teacup.

According to the agreement, after taking Cangzhou, Wang Jingchong will divide Cangzhou into two, and the land and population north of Cangzhou City will be designated as Jingzhou, which will be allocated to Liu Rengong.As for the rest of the land, Dezhou belonged to Han Jian, while Li Quanzhong and Liu Yue got part of the money and silk women.Of course, the most important thing is the common goal of defeating Li Jing.

"Wei Wang's [-] soldiers and horses have arrived in Shenzhou, and they are heading north along the Hutuo River. They will arrive soon."

"In addition, King Yan and King Yi have also gathered [-] elite soldiers in Youzhou. As soon as Li Jing's army reaches the city of Cangzhou, King Wei and King Zhao will hold back Li Jing's army, and then King Yan and King Yi will lead troops to attack Pingzhou , seize Shanhaiguan, and cut off the soldiers outside the pass."

"As for us, as soon as the horn sounded, we immediately went down the Juma River, lined up along the river, surrounded Li Jing in Hebei, and strangled him thoroughly."

This plan is very comprehensive. Since Li Jing has [-] cavalry under his command, it is to prevent Li Jing from escaping at that time.So Liu Yue and Li Quanzhong will directly attack Pingzhou and seize Shanhaiguan, as long as Shanhaiguan is captured.In this way, it will be difficult for Li Jing's main force outside the pass to enter.As for Guan Ruping, Ji, Tan, Shun, and Jing prefectures, there are actually not many soldiers.When the time comes to close the door and beat the dog, it happens to be [-]% captured.

No food, no supplies, no place to stay, no matter how strong Li Jing was, this time he broke into the university of the four towns, and he was looking for a dead end. (To be continued.)
