In the decisive battle of Wuwei, the Liang army won a complete victory, and the news spread in all directions.

The veteran Kong Tuo led five divisions, carrying the Hungarian Dashan Yu Menghedan head-on, and Tang Gan, the eldest prince of the gate valve, led the three divisions to outflank the left flank, breaking the enemy in a battle, and Menghedan led 3,000 Hu soldiers to flee in embarrassment.

Although Tang Qian has been in battle for a long time, his health is not good, and this war caused old diseases, severe pain in his waist and abdomen, and sweat like rain.

After breaking the enemy, Tang Qian handed over the command to the eighteenth brother Tang Zhen.

Although Tang Zhen, the eighteenth son, was weak in his year, he was extremely brave.

Led the 2nd Division in close pursuit of Monghedan.

The second division was originally Tang Qian's lineage, Tang Qian felt that his life would not last long, and he did not plan to compete for the position of the patriarch of the gate valve, so he simply supported his half-brother Tang Zhen, just because Tang Zhen was the most promising one among a large group of younger brothers, and the relationship between the two brothers was very good.

Now the second division is completely under the control of Tang Zhen, and there are four fierce generals under him, who performed amazingly in this Wuwei battle.

Tang Zhen chased and killed Meng Hedan, and was surrounded twice, but was broken out by Meng Hedan. The combat power of the Jiupin generals really deserves their reputation, but it is a pity that there are less than 1,000 of his Hu soldiers left.

Seeing that Meng Hedan was about to flee back to the desert, Qi Dongyang, the captain of the First Brigade of the Second Division, led a thousand cavalry, chased thousands of miles, and finally fought a decisive battle against Meng Hedan in Wild Wolf Mountain, setting another record of the eight-rank general who was killed by life and death in one fell swoop.

The last time this happened was twenty-eight years ago, when Kong Tuo killed the king of Donghu.

In the past 100 years, there have only been these two records.

When the news reached Jiuquan, the soldiers rejoiced, and in the cheers, the east and west doors were opened, and the trade route was reopened.

Soon after, the merchants hidden in the mountains came out one after another, and Jiuquan City immediately became popular, although it was not prosperous, but it also made Chen Mu's eyes shine.

Especially on the main street, there are already shouting and selling, which brings the breath of life.

Due to the war, the trade route was closed for a long time, and there was a backlog of goods, but now that the trade route is back open, many merchants who are far away from their homes can't wait to cross Jiuquan.

The gradual increase in the number of chariots and horses, camel caravans, slaves carrying goods, and carts carrying high bulges of goods makes people imagine a beautiful scene of prosperity.

At Kong Xiaoxian's repeated insistence, Chen Mu bowed to him and held a grand ceremony.

The materials were scarce, and the cattle, sheep, and pigs (shǐ, pigs) could not be found, so they simply replaced them with the head of a horse, and in full view of everyone, they married Jin Lan and declared that they would share happiness and life and death.

Since then, brothers have been commensurate.

Now in Jiuquan City, Chen Mu has a transcendent status, flattering everywhere he goes, and some people give him the nickname "Jiuquan Little Second Master".

It is estimated that this title was created and promoted by Zhang Cripple, and for this reason, Chen Mu was helpless. Now everyone sees Chen Mu respectfully, but Zhang Lame still dares to smile hippie. Chen Mu didn't plan to let Zhang Cripple get rid of this problem. Because, if there is no one around you who is joking, that life will be too boring.

Soon after, the document of the Ministry of War came, this document was nominated by the great Sima Tang Qiong, and His Majesty the Emperor personally approved it, and Tikong Xiaoxian was the general of Shence Zhonglang to rebuild the third division.

There is an emperor's comment in the document: Kong Xiaoxian expedition to Hexi, the grain road has been broken, but he still held the fortress for more than 40 days, Tang Hong sacrificed, and Si commanded the third brigade to protect Jiuquan City. With the strength of thousands of people, help the hanging danger. Turning the tide and making outstanding achievements. The country has good generals, and I am very relieved.

There are also a number of criticisms in the document, such as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial History Mansion, and the Great Sima Mansion, most of which are praises, Chen Mu glanced at it hastily, and did not go to his heart.

Kong Xiaoxian was so happy that he just waited for the Second Brigade to arrive to take over the defense area, so that he could leave Jiuquan with his men. At this time, the 3rd Brigade had been renamed the 3rd Division of the Shence General Guard Regiment, and Dian Xiaozhong was appointed as the commander of the regiment.

For this reason, Tang Xiong, the general of the 15th Division, was very dissatisfied and asked Kong Xiaoxian for military power, but at this time, Kong Xiaoxian was also a Zhonglang general, everyone was on an equal footing, I won't return it to you, what can you do to me?

Tang Xiong was furious and wrote a letter to complain, but was rejected by the great Sima Tang Qiong.

Tang Xiong was angry and asked the Second Brigade to rest after the war in Wuwei, and the speed of rest and recuperation can be described as slow, and it is estimated that it will not come over in a month or two.

The fifteenth division was originally the army of Tang Xian, the third master of the gate lord, and Tang Xian was the one who did not support either Tang Qiong nor Tang Ning.

Now that the third master Tang Xian is dead, the 15th Division is no longer the same under the "tearing" of Tang Qiong and Tang Ning. There are both Tang Qiong's people and Tang Ning's people in the fifteenth division. And Tang Xiong was basically hollowed out, so it would cause the result of Tang Hong and the Kong family going to do it. This is absolutely impossible for other units of the Shence Army. And Tang Xian's other two troops, one of which was the Third Division, were now also robbed by Tang Qiong. There was also a 14th Division, which was controlled by the Ministry of War, Shangshu Tangning.

The reason why Kong Xiaoxian did not return the military power is also related to Tang Xiong's attitude now, it is said that Tang Xiong is moving closer to Tang Ning's eldest son Tang Kun. And after Tang Qian gave up competing for the position of patriarch, Tang Kun was the biggest opponent of Tang Zhen, the eighteenth son.

Kong Xiao was Tang Zhen's person first, and it was not suitable to do it against Tang Xiong.

But if you can't leave Jiuquan for a while, you can't go back to Chang'an to form the third division, Kong Xiaoxian's heart is itching.

When he had nothing to do, Kong Xiao gathered everyone together first and had a banquet at the brigade headquarters, so he naturally wanted to call Chen Mu, but when he heard that Chen Mu went shopping, he waited for Chen Mu not to open the banquet.

The little soldier found Chen Mu and told him to eat, Chen Mu walked back, and as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a little song singing.

When I walked in, the room was as lively as a meeting.

The heads and brains of the third division all gathered in this room, and when they saw the "little second master" coming, they stood up and said hello.

After Chen Mu came, Kong Xiao first announced the opening of the banquet and ate and drank a lot.

Xi San, Kong Xiao left Chen Mu behind, and said drunkly: "Originally, I planned to promote you to deputy general, if the patriarch disagreed, at least I would promote you to be a captain-level officer, but it was also rejected by my patriarch uncle." The uncle said that the first-class officer of the school captain must be served by the surname Tang, or by a high-level combat power general. How could I not know someone so important? You ask him to come to Luoyang, I want to meet him. ”

The so-called family general, this is a special product of the Liang Chao gate valve. In fact, he belonged to the high-ranking members of the house slaves, but the house slaves were too ugly to hear, so they simply changed their names to family generals. Of course, as long as the strength is strong enough, the identity of the general is also very transcendent. For example, Kong Tuo, in the Tang family gate valve, has quite a status. When all the gate lords see Kong Tuo, they all have to call Uncle Kong, or Uncle Kong.

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded: "I don't know what big brother means?" Do you want me to go, or do you not want me to go? ”

"Of course I want you to go, and the sooner the better."

"Okay, then I'll leave now."

Kong Xiao waved his hand first: "Not busy, not busy." I'm making a waist card for you. Although I can't do the captain's waist card, I still do the captain's waist card. Through the levels, it doesn't matter if you don't have a paperwork, you can't do without a waist card. With the waist card of this captain, you are several levels higher than the officials of the post station, but if anyone does not take good care of you, you will be beaten with a slap, and I will carry it for you if you kill him. ”

Kong Xiaoxian was a little sleepy, rolled onto the bed, and waved a finger: "However, if you pass Chang'an and walk to Tongguan, it will be different." Because Tongguan belongs to the territory of the Xuanjia Army, the ancestors of the Tang family have long agreed with the royal Zhao family that the Shence Army will not be able to pass Tongguan, and their Xuanjia Army will not come to Chang'an. That's the bottom line for both companies.

Of course, if you encounter a strong enemy and need to join forces to fight the enemy, that is a different matter.

Just like the Great Battle of Hebei that year, our Shence Army sent three divisions over. It's a pity that his grandmother's was pitted by the Ximen Huben army, and one of the divisions was beaten alive. As a result, he also became a traitor. And that division is the fifteenth division, and Zhonglang will be called Huo Hongxun. ”
