Horse on the World

Chapter 490: Joining Teachers
The Dingzhou army broke through Weizhou and killed Lu Weixiong, the commander of Weizhou in Linzhao. The army recovered Shunzhou like a broken bamboo. Tens of thousands of troops went straight to the Quanying defense line. , although Lu Fengchun still has nearly [-] troops entrenched in Shenzhou, even ordinary people who don't understand military affairs can see that the shameless invaders are grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a few days.

In the eyes of the people of Liaoshen, the Dingzhou Army is their rescuer and the righteous army who relieved the people from the upside down. When Liaoshen was in danger, they first provided countless supplies and armaments for free to help them stabilize the situation. The line of defense blocked the enemy's invading footsteps, and then directly sent troops to destroy the enemy's lair like a dead man.

Victory is just around the corner, the war is coming to an end, and they will resume their peaceful life before. People in Liaozhou no longer have to worry about the flames of war spreading to the local area, while the fleeing people in Shun and Shenzhou are dreaming of returning to their homeland and building their homes again. , Many of them have already started to pack their bags, and they can quickly set off on their return journey only when there is another good news from the front line.

At the berth of the Anshun Port Navy, countless happy crowds flocked there, cheering and paying tribute to the Dingzhou Navy docked there. Although Li Qing was like a thunderbolt to them, he was far away and unfamiliar. However, the state flag is vividly in front of them. It is these ships that have brought them infinite hope and infinite supplies. Moreover, they have traveled up the Tuojiang River several times to help Marshal Zeng cut off the enemy's main force in one fell swoop. On the way back, a few days ago, they also saw many wounded soldiers withdraw from the Tuojiang River, all of which made them dedicate countless words of praise to their benefactor.

In Yingcheng, Zeng Yifan, the former commander of the Zeng Army, was dressed in splendid attire and led a group of subordinates to stand outside the city. Today is the day when Li Qing arrives, and it is also the day when the Dingzhou Army and the Liaozhou Army join forces. Five miles away, Wang Yan's Changsheng Camp and Jiang Kui's Xuanfeng Camp, who had arrived earlier, set up their camps on the left and right, looking at Yingcheng in the distance.

Zeng Yifan's Chinese army account was originally in Quancheng, which was close to the Tuojiang River, and could receive timely support from the Dingzhou Navy on the Tuojiang River. The big tent was moved to the deeper Yingcheng.

In the distance, the sentry cavalry came rushing like sparks, and they were still far away from Yingcheng, so they waved the flag on their horses. Under the Yingcheng, the waiting crowd all cheered up and squinted their eyes to look behind the sentry cavalry. Sure enough, On the horizon, a black line first appeared, and then the black line gradually became thicker and became clearer and clearer in everyone's field of vision. Groups of black cavalry were galloping forward.

That was the front of Li Qingzhong's army. The two battalions of barbarian cavalry led by Nuo Qi'a were uniformly equipped with Dingzhou army standard equipment, but the long-standing habits of these barbarians had not changed much. Galloping wildly, whistle loudly, whole teams of cavalry are showing off their dazzling riding skills while galloping at high speed.

Just as Nuoqi Abe approached, the gates of the Changsheng Battalion and the Cyclone Battalion suddenly opened, and the two generals each led a thousand cavalrymen to file out. Unlike these barbarians, the Dingzhou cavalry stood awe-inspiring, The horses galloped in line, and instantly formed a neat formation outside the camp, but there was no sound, and the silence was suffocating.

About a mile behind Nuoqia, groups of infantry lined up neatly. Amid the sound of the sentinels' passwords, they marched forward step by step with neat steps like a row of moving forests. Running not far from Yingcheng, the flag was unfurled, the cavalry parted left and right, and rushed back, galloping around the infantry phalanx.

Although they knew they were friendly troops, the oncoming pressure still shocked the defenders of Yingcheng. After more than a year of brutal fighting, the Liaozhou Army had already lost its rookie qualities. The army on the battlefield is gone, but under the pressure of the opponent's mountains, their faces still change color. Two battles, the Dingzhou army's might is fierce.

After the infantry phalanx one by one, Li Qing's central army banner finally appeared. Surrounded by three thousand personal guards, he rushed towards Yingcheng. Behind him, the red cavalry led by Lu Dabing closely followed. .

Li Qing had nearly [-] troops, of which cavalry accounted for nearly [-]. In addition to the Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion who arrived first, there were almost [-] cavalry who arrived with Li Qing. The people in the city were surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, Dingzhou's military strength is too strong. At this time, the cost of raising a cavalry is almost enough to raise a dozen well-equipped soldiers. If the soldiers are less equipped, it is possible to raise dozens of soldiers.Zeng's army made Lu Fengchun's biscuits with sandwiches, but they couldn't swallow them in one gulp, because among Lu Fengchun's [-] troops, there were nearly [-] cavalry, while Zeng's partial birth did not have many cavalry. There were [-] cavalry, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they were not comparable to the opponent. With this family background, the Zeng family did not dare to take the battlefield easily and fight to the death with Lu Fengchun. Today, Zeng Jun in Yingcheng saw Dingzhou The power and power of the cavalry suddenly felt that Lu's cavalry was nothing more than that.

Li Qing approached with every step, Zeng Yifan led a large group of officials to meet him hurriedly.

"See Marshal Li!" Zeng Yifan walked up to Li Qing's horse and paid homage. In terms of age, Zeng Yifan was several years older than Li Qing, but their status at this time was not the same, let alone Li Qing's official position. Bai Zhenxihou, the first rank, Li Qing's support for Liao Shen, also made Zeng Yifan have to bow his head.

Li Qing laughed and got off his horse, and put Zeng Yifan on his arm, "The young commander is out!"

Looking around, he said: "You and I are allies, we don't belong to each other, how can Li Qing resist such a big gift, hurry up!"

Zeng Yifan smiled and said: "This worship is not because of your high position and authority, Commander, but because of your long-distance travel to help, and lend a helping hand at the time of Liaoshen's crisis, otherwise the Zeng family would have ceased to exist long ago." , you deserve it!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "The northern thieves are rampant and recklessly offend our neighbors. Such thieves should be punished together." When Li Qing said this, he forgot that he had just annexed Luzhou, Quanzhou, and merged the two states. One of the commanders fled far away, but the other was captured and put in Dingzhou City as an apartment.

Zeng Yifan sneered in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and said: "The commander-in-chief is right, the commander-in-chief has worked hard from afar, but Yifan has a little wine in the city, it is not a respect, and the commander-in-chief is welcome!"

Li Qing knew: "That's what I want to harass. I have heard for a long time that the men in Liaodong are bold and good at drinking, but today Li Qing wants to experience it. Come, come, let me introduce some of my subordinates to you. General Tian Tianfeng, I think you We know each other."

Tian Feng stepped out from behind Li Qing: "I've met Young Marshal Zeng!"

Zeng Yifan knew about Tian Feng. This former general of the Xiao family has now become a first-class general in Dingzhou. He led a division of more than [-] troops and swept the Northern Army. Think about the fate of the Xiao family now. , Zeng Yifan couldn't help sighing for a while, secretly thinking that life is really unpredictable. If Tian Feng didn't make such a fuss in Qinzhou, he might be like a bereaved dog now, but now, he is majestic and proud.

"I have long admired General Tian's name!" Zeng Yifan cupped his hands.

"Nuoqia!" Following Li Qing's voice, Nuoqia strode out, his braids dangling under the helmet, and bowed slightly, "Nuoqia, a savage in the grassland, has seen the young commander!"

"Da Bing Lu!"

"Wei Xin!"

"Chen Zeyue!"

"This is my bodyguard commander Tang Hu!"

"Well, this is Wang Yan and Jiang Kui, you must have seen each other before!"

Following Li Qing's introduction, the generals of Dingzhou came out to greet Zeng Yifan one by one, they were polite but secretly shocked, almost half of the famous generals in Dingzhou gathered here.

After some courtesies, Zeng Yifan asked Li Qing to go first, but Li Qing insisted that a strong dragon should not overwhelm a bully, and asked Zeng Yifan to go first. The two sides gave way for a long time, but in the end it was Li Qing who took Zeng Yifan's arm, and the two walked together, talking and laughing happily all the way , it seemed that the two were friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and no one could believe that this was the first time they met today.

Although Yingcheng is a small place, the banquet prepared by Zeng Yifan is really sumptuous and ostentatious. Even if Li Qing has an imperial chef at home now, there are still many dishes on the table that he can't name, let alone eat. pass. "Knowing that the commander-in-chief is coming, I specially asked my father to transfer the chef at home from the waterway. I was afraid that the commander-in-chief was used to court food, but he would not like things from small places like us!"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The young commander is too self-effacing. Li Qing usually eats and drinks in the army and stirs the ladles with the soldiers. There is indeed a cook in the palace at home, but Li Qing rarely Tasting his craftsmanship, I can't eat those finely crafted things, but I prefer a big bowl of wine and a big bowl of meat."

Zeng Yifan couldn't help but hesitate, thinking that Li Qing was insinuating that his family was too luxurious, but since he was a child, he was well-clothed and well-fed, and if he was asked to eat that simple food with the soldiers, it would be unbearable no matter what.

Fortunately, after Li Qing sighed with emotion, he said beamingly: "However, today is a blessing, thank you for your kindness, young commander. Look at my generals, they are almost crying out."

A small joke made Zeng Yifan feel embarrassed, and invited everyone to sit down.In the hall, there are almost all military generals, especially those under Dingzhou's command. Most of them eat in the same pot with the soldiers on weekdays. I have seen such rich things there, and look at the spirits on the table. It clearly says Dingzhou brewing, his mother, this is a spirit produced in Dingzhou. In Dingzhou, this product has never been sold in the market, except in the medical camp. I can only sneak a little to satisfy my greed. Seeing so many good wines on the table, Tang Hu's Adam's apple has already been rolling up and down, and he has one eye on Li Qing and Zeng Yifan, hoping that the two will finish the article soon. , get in early.

Once Zeng Yifan asked, when Li Qing sat down, the generals in Dingzhou couldn't wait to sit down. Tang Hu didn't say anything, picked up a bowl of wine, sucked water like a whale, and drank it without leaving his lips. Going down, he sighed comfortably at the end, and wiped the wine drops from his beard with his big hand, only to realize that everyone in the hall was staring at him blankly, and hiccupped, only to realize that both the master and the handsome man were still there. If you didn't move, why did you get ahead?Drunkenness welled up, and his face was flushed with embarrassment.

Li Qing stared at him fiercely, his face full of indisputable anger, son of a bitch, did you secretly drink less wine at my house, and you actually ran here to embarrass me?
