Although Zhou Rui was very confident in defending Jingsheng City, after learning that the Zhenwei Army had arrived at the front line of Jiguanling, Zhou Rui was still a little worried.

After all, the proportion of recruits in the Zhou family's army is simply jaw-dropping.

Zhou Rui also didn't know what kind of performance the troops, which were mainly recruits, would behave on the battlefield.

It wasn't until the front line of Jiguanling sent back a telegram that Zhou Rui completely put his heart in his stomach.

The Zhenwei army launched three charges, and after suffering hundreds of casualties, it had already withdrawn from Jiguanling, and an infantry battalion stationed in Jiguanling had only more than ten casualties.

Zhou Rui put the telegram in his hand on the desk, and then said with a smile to an old man who was nearly sixty years old in the room: "Guan Lao, the second mixed brigade of the Zhenwei Army has to worry about Guan Lao a lot. ”

The old man called Guan Lao by Zhou Rui is a wealthy businessman in Jingsheng City, and his name is Guan Yating.

Li Zhikui, the commander of the first corps of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army, is also Guan Yating's son-in-law.

Because the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army has been stationed in Jingshengcheng, the officers of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army and the families of many soldiers basically live in Jingshengcheng, and even most of the officers and soldiers are locals of Jingshengcheng.

No one thought that Mu Si'an, who stayed behind, would sell Jingsheng City to the Zhou family in Fengwu Town, so the families of the officers and soldiers of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army fell into the hands of the Zhou family at this time.

Only Xu Lihai, the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army, has been placing his family in Linxing City, where the Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is located, in order to clear up the suspicion of supporting the army and respecting himself.

Guan Yating said to Zhou Rui respectfully: "General Zhou, don't worry, the old man will definitely persuade my son-in-law to abandon the darkness and lead the troops to submit to General Zhou." ”

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, and said to Hu Liu in the room: "Hu Liu, this time you accompany Guan Lao to the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army, and you must show Commander Li and the other officers of the Second Mixed Brigade the sincerity of our Zhou family." ”

"Yes, Major General."

After Hu Liu and Guan Yating left the room, Xiong Da walked in with a middle-aged man in a military uniform.

The middle-aged soldier's name is Li Shengjun, Zhou Rui's father, Zhou Xiaozheng, came to Ganyang City alone to form a hunting group, and Li Shengjun was one of the first members to join the hunting group.

Later, as Zhou Xiaozheng rose to the top, before the garrison brigade was expanded, Li Shengjun was a battalion commander of the Third Infantry Regiment.

Although Li Shengjun has never received formal military studies, Li Shengjun is very good at fighting.

It's a pity that in the last life, Li Shengjun died in the beast tide that suddenly broke out at the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain.

"Uncle Li, we are all our own family, so I'll tell you straight.

I plan to immediately form the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade in Jingshengcheng, and in addition to drawing some officers and men from the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Garrison Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade, the shortfall will be recruited in Jingshengcheng.

I asked Uncle Li to come to Jingsheng City by boat in order to make Uncle Li the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade. ”

Before Li Shengjun came to Jingshengcheng, Liu Mo, the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment of the garrison brigade, told him that he would probably be entrusted with important tasks by the major general when he went to Jingshengcheng this time.

But when he heard that Zhou Rui was about to appoint himself as the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade, Li Shengjun was still excited.

"Major General, I will definitely live up to the trust of the Major General and train the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade as soon as possible!"

"Uncle Li, now our Zhou family has snatched Jingshengcheng from the hands of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

I don't know how determined Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is to recapture Jingsheng City, so the formation of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade can be said to be a tight time and heavy task, and we must be prepared for the storm.

Of course, the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade will not immediately pull into the battlefield, but once necessary, Uncle Li must go up! ”

"Major General rest assured, I, Li Shengjun, will never drop the chain for the Major General at a critical moment!"

On the evening of August 14, Xu Lihai, commander of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army, was in the camp tent watching the battle report from the front line of Jingyang City.

This time, the Zhenwei army gathered more than 60,000 troops and prepared to recapture Jingyang City, but judging from the current battle report, the progress of the Zhenwei army was not smooth.

Xu Lihai shook his head, what an eventful time!

At this time, Li Zhikui, commander of the First Infantry Regiment of the Second Mixed Brigade, Hu Wei, commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, Liu Hengsheng, commander of the Third Infantry Regiment, Yuan Wei, commander of the heavy cavalry battalion, and Song Lei, commander of the guard battalion, actually walked into the camp together.

Xu Lihai was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Zhikui hesitated for a moment and said, "General, my father-in-law is here." ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Lihai's eyes, "Your father-in-law came here at this time, could it be that he represents the Ganyang Zhou family?" ”

Hu Wei, commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, said loudly: "General, you know the terrain around Jingsheng City best.

Coupled with the strong firepower of the troops of the Zhou family in Ganyang, even if our Zhenwei army gathers 100,000 troops, it may not be able to penetrate the Cockscomb Ridge, the Wild Boar Collar and the Hidden Leaf Valley.

Moreover, the Zhou family in Ganyang still has a strong naval fleet, and even if our Zhenwei army can capture the three dangerous passes, it may not be able to recapture Jingsheng City. ”

Xu Lihai sneered, "So what? ”

Liu Hengsheng, the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment, sighed and said, "General, you also have to consider our situation, after all, our family members are all in Jingsheng City. ”

Xu Lihai looked at the three regiment commanders and two battalion commanders under him, "I have long heard that the Ganyang Zhou family is wealthy, presumably you should have collected a lot of money!"

Are you going to tie me up and send me to the Zhou family to ask for credit? ”

Yuan Wei, the commander of the heavy cavalry battalion, said in a deep voice: "General, over the years, we have followed you from birth to death, and we have fought a lot of battles. ”

Song Lei, the commander of the guard battalion, said with some embarrassment: "General, we have discussed with Mr. Fox of the Zhou family in Ganyang, and we will not forcibly take you back to Jingsheng City." ”

Xu Lihai shook his head self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect that I, Xu Lihai, would end up betraying my relatives!"

Could it be that for a little money, you can even give up years of brotherhood? ”

The five men looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Where is a little money!

Now each of them has received 200,000 silver coins worth the Golden Lion Empire Golden Yuan Coupons, and after pulling the troops to Jingsheng City, the Zhou family will give each of them another gold bricks worth 600,000 silver coins.

With a huge sum of 800,000 silver coins, who wants the love of a bullshit brother!

Besides, Xu Lihai is usually harsh, and when he is desperate, he talks about brotherhood, and when it is beneficial, Xu Lihai has never told them anything about brotherhood.

At this time, Guan Yating and Hu Liu suddenly walked into the camp.

"Brigadier Xu, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie.

If Brigade Commander Xu is also willing to go to Jingsheng City, General Zhou Rui will definitely welcome it very much. Guan Yating said in an old-fashioned manner.

Xu Lihai pursed his lips, "Boss Guan is not confused, don't forget that I, Xu Lihai, am a child of the Xu family." ”

Hu Liu then said with a smile: "Since Brigade Commander Xu is unwilling to go to Jingsheng City, we will not embarrass Brigade Commander Xu, but in order to avoid causing trouble, we can only grieve Brigade Commander Xu for a night." ”

Early in the morning of August 15, four infantry regiments drawn from two other cities suddenly found that the camp of the 2nd Mixed Brigade appeared to be empty.

When someone was sent in to check, they only found Xu Lihai who was tied up by five flowers.

Even the 2nd Mixed Brigade, which was known as the elite, had surrendered to the enemy, and where did their four infantry regiments dare to stay here, they hurriedly packed their bags and retreated to their respective cities.

Xu Lihai asked for a galloping horse, and hurried back to Linxing City.

"Smack-" After Zhenwei made Xu Wanpeng slap Xu Lihai's ear scraper, he scolded angrily: "You waste, a mixed brigade of more than 7,000 people, didn't even splash a little water, and was absorbed by the Zhou family in Fengwu Town!"

How did you, the brigade commander, lead the troops all these years! ”

Xu Lihai was slapped by Xu Wanpeng, but his heart was a little more steady.

Xu Lihai knows Uncle Xu Wanpeng's temper very well, if anyone makes a mistake and Xu Wanpeng beats and scolds, then basically the big thing will be small and the small thing will be turned into a small thing.

Once Xu Wanpeng doesn't beat or scold, that's a big deal, and someone will die!

"Uncle, it's all my fault, no matter how you punish me, I admit it!"

At this time, Xu Wanpeng's eldest son Xu Lijiang opened his mouth and asked, "Father, do you still mobilize troops to counterattack Jingsheng City?" ”

Xu Wanpeng gritted his teeth and said: "Let the Zhou family in Fengwu Town be rampant for a while, wait for Ben Shuai to free his hand, and then settle accounts with that Zhou family!"

Now the most important thing is to recapture Jingyang City! ”
