Huining County Commander Sun Xiang is a native of Dai County, and is also one of the few county officials who survived the last war in Dai County, Zhao Qi opened Dai County, let Li Nobunaga drive straight in, Huining County Commander and most of the officials were killed, Sun Xiang was lucky to escape, after the Han State won the war against Qin, Sun Xiang was promoted to Huining County Commander.

As a scribe in Huining County, Sun Xiang is undoubtedly very lucky, but the lucky person naturally has his lucky reasons, this person's ability is not outstanding, but fortunately, he is diligent in his work, and he will inevitably strive to do his best at a glance, and the policies promulgated by the imperial court can always be implemented to the letter in Huining, which also makes him stay in office when the court re-arranges the personnel of the county in the subsequent court.

The abolition of local guards, government service, and arrest is undoubtedly an extremely headache for officials in some other places, because there is a lot of personnel involved, but whenever it involves personnel relations, the work is always the most difficult to do, but Huining does not have this problem here. The local guards have long been swept away in the last Li Xin attack, and they have been killed cleanly, and the government officials have to set up a police station at the top, and other local officials are worried about who will go and who will stay, but he is here, but there is a shortage of personnel, and not everyone can be this policeman, according to the regulations of the above, first of all, you must be literate, and secondly, you must have experience in the army, these two things down, so that Huining simply does not have enough manpower to fill the police establishment, so that Sun Xiang had to report to the above, asking the county to send people.

For Sun Xiang, this was a happy trouble, because he knew that in Xiling City, the new county guard was having a headache about this matter. As for Huining's security, does he need to worry in the slightest? An army of up to 5,000 men could be stationed here.

Originally, he was worried that the discipline of this Eastern Zhao army that came to assist in defense could not be compared with that of the Han army, but when Zhou Zilong arrived, Sun Xiang was taken aback, this Eastern Zhao army. It is a copy of the Han army, even the weapons and armor are the same mold as the Han army, the only difference is that the uniforms worn by the soldiers are somewhat different from their official positions and the Han army.

However, according to Zhou Zilong, Zhou Changshou, the first assistant of Eastern Zhao, was preparing to carry out some major reorganization of the army, following the establishment model of the Han army.

Sun Xiang was a little strange about this, with his position, of course, it was impossible to know the secret of Zhou Changshou. However, the strict military discipline of this army made him let go of the last trace of worry.

Sun Xiang will not only be an official, but also a man. This time to entertain the visit of Commander Xu Yuan, he also took a lot of brains, the officials of the Han Dynasty, especially the people who followed the king earlier, have a common habit, disgusted with extravagance, which is probably related to the fact that they were used to living a hard life in the past, but who is Xu Yuan, this is one of the different waiting masters of the Han Dynasty. He is the commander of the first military region, the most powerful of the four major military regions, how can he not be entertained?

The big fish is too cheesy, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are inevitably taboo, so Sun Xiang ingeniously made a few samples of local specialties and some wild vegetables. Don't underestimate these plates of wild vegetables, and the time and effort it takes to get them on the table in this cold season. It far exceeds the value of big fish and meat, but when placed on the table, it is not so conspicuous.

Xu Yuan ate very comfortably. In such a season, eating such chic dishes is of course refreshing and delicious, and Sun Xiang is full of praise. Zhou Zilong, who accompanied him, naturally knew the details of these things, but how could he tell the truth? For Sun Xiang, he is impressed, this county magistrate from a scribe, whether he is doing things or being a person, he really has a set of his unique abilities.

Halfway through the meal, Gu Li, the commander of the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, dressed in civilian clothes and under the protection of several guards, arrived at Huining County. Gu Li, who did not wear a devil's mask, made Zhou Zilong realize what it means to be half an angel and half a devil. Gu Li turned out to be good-looking, but on the battlefield, half of her face was stabbed, and she was disfigured, under normal circumstances, she was wearing a devil's mask, but now it is definitely not suitable, she appeared in Huining County, if she wears this mask, I am afraid that in an instant, most of the people in Huining City will know that she has arrived here.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is General Gu Ligu, the commander of the Independent Cavalry Division, and the only female general in our Han army since the departure of the head of the princess Helan sect, I don't need to introduce to you the deeds of General Gu, she is a general who is full of wisdom and courage that even the king praises." Xu Yuan smiled and said to Zhou Zilong and Sun Xiang. For Gu Li, he has a lot of respect, in the army of men, this woman has killed a world of her own, which is not easy. And the Hun Cavalry Independent Division under her command is now the strongest unit in combat effectiveness among the Han cavalry, and it is much stronger than the other Donghu Independent Cavalry Division led by Agu Huaien, both in terms of combat effectiveness and loyalty.

"I've admired the name for a long time, and I'm lucky to see it today." After a short period of distraction, Zhou Zilong gave a military salute to Gu Li, and said sincerely that he could achieve his current position among the famous generals of the Han Army, which was much more powerful than himself, Zhou Zilong knew very well that if he didn't have Zhou Changshou's uncle, he was afraid that the army under his command, which was the best in combat power in the entire Dongzhao, would not be able to bring it to him at all, and he would not be able to prove himself by himself.

"Master Gu, it's been a long time." Sun Xiang was much calmer, because he had seen this brave female general lead the cavalry to chase the Zhao army in the last war.

Gu Li nodded lightly to the two of them, and turned her head to look at Xu Yuan: "Commander, the first regiment of the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division and the two thousand troops directly under the division headquarters arrived at their destination on time. ”

"Okay, Commander Gu, sit down and drink two glasses of wine to go to the cold, the troops have already entered the barracks, right?" Xu Yuan smiled and poured a full glass of wine for Gu Li himself.

"I have entered the barracks, General Zhou's arrangements are very good, whether it is the barracks or the food, the soldiers are very satisfied." Gu Li nodded.

"Next, your independent cavalry division will stay in this barracks for nearly two months, and this is the time to really test you." Xu Yuan said solemnly: "I'm afraid this will make you more uncomfortable than fighting, but in order to achieve the unexpected purpose, you have to do the same, and this matter has to be done a lot of trouble by Master Gu." ”

"It's nothing, I think that when we were on the prairie, sometimes in order to fight an ambush, no matter how bad the conditions were, compared to that time, now there are tents to shelter from the wind and snow, there are hot meals to eat, what is there to complain about." Gu Li picked up the wine glass, raised it to the three of them, tilted her neck, and drank it all.

"Refreshing!" Xu Yuan laughed, in fact, he didn't know much about Gu Li's temperament, because Gu Li had always been under the personal command of Wang Shang before, and later transferred to the Eastern Group Army, until the establishment of the First Military Region, he became his subordinate.

"In the spring of next year, I will not use infantry on a large scale, and the main force will be your Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, Agu Huaien's Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, and Zhou Zilong's 5,000 foot soldiers. After the Chinese New Year, Agu Huaien's army will slowly advance in the direction of Huining, when you launch an attack here, he will speed up again, in order to complete the second wave of attacks, although the Western Zhao army of Shanggu County is as many as 50,000 people, but according to the situation we have touched, this army is completely vulnerable, the only thing to worry about is the final capture of Shanggu County, if you can annihilate its main force outside the city as quickly as possible, then Shanggu County will definitely go down without a fight, once the opponent's main force is retracted back into the city, this battle will be difficult to fight. Xu Yuan moved the bowl and laid out the military deployment of the Western Zhao army in Shanggu County one by one.

"In this battle, you need to be fast, to run ahead of the enemy." He looked at Guli with blazing eyes.

"The Hun Independent Cavalry Division guarantees the completion of the task." Guli is concise and authentic.

"Very good, when the time comes, I will appear in Xiling City in a high-profile manner, where to conduct a military parade in the First Military Region, of course, the news will be publicized before this, in order to confuse the enemy, the command of this battle, Commander Gu, I will hand it all over to you." Agu Huai'en, Zhou Zilong's two troops, will be under your command. ”

"Yes!"

"This battle is related to the first major military operation after the establishment of our First Military Region, and it is also our gift to the king, Commander Gu, although the enemy is vulnerable, we are still careful, from now until the dispatch of troops, there is still a period of time, I hope to see your best combat plan, the personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau Branch of the First Military Region, I have also been transferred to Huining, and I will prepare for you on top of the intelligence." Xu Yuan said with a smile: "Whether the first fire of our First Military Region can burn vigorously depends on your ancient division commander."

Gu Li nodded, and her cold face also showed an excited look. If you want to destroy Qin, you must first swallow Xizhao in one bite, and then lay down Hangu Pass, the vast Guanzhong Plain will no longer be able to resist the sharpness of the Han army, and you can also lead your iron hooves to drive straight into Xianyang, the political and economic center of Qin.

Only by entering that city, pulling the king of Qin off the high throne, and annexing the vast land into the territory of the Han Dynasty, can he be regarded as a real revenge.

The four of them were about to raise their glasses and drink, but suddenly there was a chaotic noise outside, Sun Xiang and Zhou Zilong both changed their faces, as landlords, the noise outside would undoubtedly make the two of them very faceless, but then the shouting of the people outside made the four people in the house change color.

"General Zhou, General Cao Li of Changqiaoji sent an urgent report, the Xizhao army raided Tongling and other places, the scale is about two to three thousand people, Changqiaoji, Oak Bay garrison has gone to the rescue, please General Zhou immediately send troops to rescue." (To be continued......)
