Xie Dong walked to Dong Zhuang with two iron cylinders, and handed one of them to him, this kind of iron cylinder is the individual equipment just issued by the army, divided into three layers, in the army's multi-functional bag, a special position was designed for this kind of rice tube, Dong Zhuang sat on the ground full of dirt, without the slightest shelf of a division, unscrewed the lid, and took out two round bowls from inside, one contained vegetables, one was soup, and the bottom put two big steamed buns.

Seeing Dong Zhuang raise his eyes and sweep around, Xie Dong smiled and said, "Commander, don't look at it, everyone is the same. I really didn't have a ghost in this, first, I didn't know that the division commander came to inspect today, and secondly, we have always been like this, and we don't need to hide anything."

Dong Zhuang nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Xie Dong, you are good here, the logistics of the army is very oily, I don't want to see you planting on this, you must know that our king hates corruption the most, the last time a regiment commander in Dongye fell down here, after being investigated by the Internal Affairs Department of the Supervision Yuan, he was finally handed over to the Military Justice Department and sentenced to be killed, that is a guy with great military exploits, when I entered the army, he was the battalion commander, and he was killed without saying that he would kill him."

Xie Dong said awe-inspiringly: "Don't worry, teacher, I will never make a mistake here."

Dong Zhuang took a bite of the steamed bun, raised his head, and looked at the long white clouds in the sky: "The two of us are both poor and scared guys, but the more people like us, the easier it is to have problems here, and we don't want to live a hard life anymore, but our current salary is high enough, and if there is a problem in this, then it is not a person, you have a large number of newly built barracks here, and there were no problems with the last audit by the Ministry of Finance, which really added a lot of light to me, you know, the other two divisions of our new First Army, But something went wrong more or less."

"For those corrupt guys, they should be killed!" Xie Dong took a sip of soup and said viciously.

"That's right, kill clean!" Dong Zhuang nodded vigorously, as a general from a poor background, he was disgusted with corruption from the depths of his heart." Eat quickly, after eating, I still have to go to the second and third regiments to take a turn, now there is no fighting, but training can not be relaxed, sweat more in peacetime, less blood in wartime, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, veterans hate training, they are willing to fight, I know this, but you can't think like this, there is no strict training in ordinary times, when it comes to wartime, the body that relaxes for too long can't be nervous."

"Subordinates keep in mind the teachings of the teacher!" Xie Dong put down the rice tube and said respectfully.

"Teach a fart!" Dong Zhuang laughed. The two of us are both coarse, and you still chew and spit words, and you don't make people laugh."

Hearing this, Xie Dong also laughed.

The two of them stopped talking, and both lowered their heads to concentrate on destroying the food in front of them.

At the gate of the barracks, a horse galloped over, whispered a few words to the sentry at the door, did not dismount, went straight to the school field, heard the sound of horses' hooves, Dong Zhuang raised his head, saw the person, and immediately stood up.

"Division Commander Dong, the military department is urgent, all the officers and men of the New First Army have entered a wartime state, and Commander Zhang has summoned you to Suiyang for a meeting immediately!" The person who came turned over and dismounted in front of Dong Zhuang, it was an adjutant of Dong Zhuang's third division.

Dong Zhuang threw the rice tube in his hand into Xie Dong's arms at once, his face showed excitement, "It's going to be a war. Xie Dong, immediately order your troops to enter a wartime state, Luqing."

"Here!" A guard behind Dong Zhuang came out in response.

"You go to the second and third regiments at once. Let Wang Yao and Zhou Yanbing make some preparations."

"Yes!"

Suiyang, originally just a small county town on the border, but with the new army military department chose Suiyang, it almost became a large barracks, the new army headquarters and the soldiers directly under the county added up to almost half of the population of the entire county, with the entry of these soldiers, Suiyang's economy also jumped to a new level, a large number of materials poured in, many businesses followed the footsteps of the army into this originally little-known small city.

When Dong Zhuang hurried to Suiyang, it was already the evening of the second day after he received the order. Finally, he arrived at the time specified in Zhang Hongyu's order. While exhaling softly, Dong Zhuang also found that Suiyang was different from the previous ones, the soldiers who came and went were all nervous, and their steps were hurried, and the carriages were constantly driving into Suiyang City from outside the city, obviously this was the material that was transferred from later.

"Report!" A loud voice made Zhang Hongyu raise his head from the piles of case files on top of the big case, and when he saw Dong Zhuang, he laughed: "I knew that Dong Manzi was the first to arrive, and your garrison was the farthest, but it was the first to arrive, and when Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong came, I would criticize and criticize them."

Dong Zhuang stepped into the door with a smile, "Then the two of them will definitely knock on their subordinates' next meal when they turn around, and their subordinates will have to support their families and farms with this salary, so the military commander should not criticize them."

Zhang Hongyu walked out from behind the case with a laugh and beat Dong Zhuang's chest hard, "Dong Manzi, there has been no war for more than half a year, how is the morale of your troops?"

"Well, commander, as soon as the soldiers heard that they had entered a wartime state, they screamed with excitement one by one!" Dong Zhuang said: "These boys are more willing to fight than training!"

"Your division has a relatively large proportion of recruits, can you keep up with the training?" Zhang Hongyu pulled a chair over and pressed Dong Zhuang on the chair and sat down.

"Commander, there must be no problem with training, but you also know that recruits, no matter how well they train, when they go to the battlefield, there must be a process of adaptation, but it is good to fight a battle." DONG Zhuangdao.

Zhang Hongyu nodded, "That's right, no matter how well you train, it can't compare to walking on the battlefield, and I can rest assured that you Dong Manzi will lead the troops."

"Dong Manzi really arrived first." There was a chagrined voice outside, and the two turned around together, and saw Cui Chengtou, the commander of the other division, and Gao Chengdong, the commander of the second division, walking over together, Gao Chengdong had a look on his face, "Dong Manzi, your station is the farthest, why are you running so fast?" It hurt me to lose a meal to Lao Cui!"

Hearing Gao Chengdong's words, Dong Zhuang laughed: "Brother Gao, you are in charge of Acui, he and I have a plan, he drags your itinerary, I will hurry up, we are just earning your table, you still bet with him, but to make it clear, I am willing to gamble and lose, I want to eat this meal."

"Dong Manzi, I haven't seen you for a few months, you've become bad!" Cui Chengxiu jumped in front of Dong Zhuang all of a sudden, "Don't sow discord, when will I be high with you, obviously I am unparalleled in calculation, knowing that as soon as you hear that there is a fight, you will jump more happily than anyone else."

"Okay, okay, now that we're all here, let's have a meeting!" Zhang Hongyu waved his hand.

"Commander, are you going to do it to the Chu people this time?" Dong Zhuang couldn't wait to say: "You shouldn't have stopped halfway in the first place, this gave Chu Guo a chance to breathe, but the king has finally figured it out now, it's better to start early than late!"

"Shut up, how can you judge the king!" Cui Chengxiu on the side said angrily: "You barbarian knows nothing but fighting, do you think the king didn't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue at that time?" But we were also at the end of the crossbow at that time, and fighting a war did not drive the soldiers to rush forward, do you know how much military spending is spent every day once the war starts? Is every arrow shot and every knife broken worth? Fighting, that's money."

"I don't care about that, I just rush forward, and as for the rest, the commander will take care of it." Dong Zhuang said with a smile.

"Commander, where are we going to fight this time?" Gao Chengdong asked.

Zhang Hongyu walked to the map and poked his finger heavily at a point, "Pengcheng, this time we are going to take Pengcheng, cut off the passage between Xuzhou and Chu, and then swallow Xuzhou in one gulp."

"Good guys!" Gao Chengdong exclaimed: "If you don't move, you can swallow a state in one bite, military commander, Chu State is afraid that it will not give up."

"The State of Qin and the State of Chu have started a war!" Zhang Hongyu sneered: "Zhou Yu suddenly launched an attack in Nanyang County, and in one fell swoop occupied Suixian, the military town of Chu on the border, and Chu has already begun to deploy troops and prepare to counterattack, so our opportunity has come."

"It's strange, we signed an agreement with the Qin people at the beginning, asking the Qin people to attack Chu with us, and the Qin people agreed on the surface, but in fact, they have been dragging their feet, why did they suddenly move this time." Choi Chengxiu is a little strange.

"There are some things that you didn't know before, but at this point, with your level, there is no need to hide it from you, something happened to our Han's Yizhen Research Institute, an important researcher in charge of gunpowder formula research was kidnapped, and it was Tan Feng who did it, but now the person is accused of being in Jiangdong County of Chu State, Chu State does not want to hand over people, and the Qin people naturally don't want to lose their wife and fold their troops, so they sent troops to threaten. Hey, one Mao Wei started a war, which is not bad."

"One True Research Institute? Isn't that our Zhenguo Killer also taken away by them?" Gao Chengdong changed color.

"The big killer also depends on how to use it?" Zhang Hongyu said disapprerovingly: "Anyway, as far as I know, the king is not in a hurry, and I can also tell you that our Han has already developed more powerful weapons, and from tomorrow, we will initially equip the troops. This gunpowder doesn't seem so important anymore."

"New weapons will always be the first to equip the Young Guard, let's not think about it, as long as I get a few hundred catties of fried red, I will be satisfied!" DONG Zhuangdao.

"You're beautiful!" Zhang Hongyu said with a smile: "The production of explosives is not high now, and Wang Shang has no idea of using him in the troops immediately, we still have to rely on our own strength, this time, Dong Zhuang, with your third division as the vanguard, Cui Chengxiu's first division as the second wave of attacks behind Dong Zhuang, and Chengdong's headquarters as a reserve to deal with possible unexpected situations."

(That's all there is to it today, sorry.) (To be continued......)
