(I've been writing for more than a decade, and I've banned someone for the first time.) Over the years, I've never banned anyone, and I've never deleted bad reviews. Because I think it's the right to give everyone a choice. Some people like a book, some people don't like it, those who like it will read it, and those who don't like it will leave. The worst is just a scolding sentence that is really rubbish. But I never thought that sometimes human nature is really not as kind as I thought. If you don't like to watch it, it's good to leave, why scold? I have to read every chapter, and after reading it, I will scold, and I will insult my family and elders, which is really unbearable. ）

Liu Xinda turned to look back at Pingxiang, his eyes were a little astringent, his nose was a little sour, and he almost burst into tears uncontrollably.

He was originally a son of the north, but now, he is forced to go south more and more step by step.

My hometown is getting farther and farther away, and in this life, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to return to the land of my hometown, eat a mouthful of food from my hometown, and drink a sip of water from my hometown.

touched the small handful of soil in his arms, which he had carried in his arms when he left Shandong. At that time, I vowed not to let myself go back to my hometown and use it to cheer myself up, but now, it has really become a little bit of a thought.

After Liu's troops were replenished in Pingxiang, the three armies of the headquarters were expanded to 6,000 troops, and the left, center and right armies were divided into 2,000 people each, led by Liu Xinda, Liu Buwu and Teng Jian. The vanguard led by Liu Chen has expanded to 10,000 people.

This result made Liu Xinda a little unexpected.

He didn't expect that he would be able to recruit so many people in Jiangxi.

Yes, it's a move-in.

In Liu Xinda's mind, those people led by Liu Chen are really not an army. At best, they can be counted as bandits with a little bit of organizational discipline.

Of course, such a bandit, after joining many experienced grassroots officers, is still very different from ordinary bandits, whether it is in terms of organization or discipline.

Perhaps, after a long journey of battle, many of them can grow into a qualified warrior.

Now the more than 1,000 people who have been added to the headquarters have been promoted from the original Liu Chen's department. However, these people all entered the Chinese army and the right army, but Teng Jian refused to ask for it, he would rather have those Bai Ding, who had no war experience, retrain.

In this regard, Liu Xinda does not care. Those who were promoted from Liu Chen's subordinates, although they were a little unchangeable, but under their own majesty, they were still relatively honest, and they would naturally be assimilated slowly.

The target of the next stop, Zhuzhou.

This is the route that the Tang Army demarcated for him.

Lay down Zhuzhou and approach Xiangtan.

The Tang army wanted to force the Hunan Observer, who was confronting Shi Zhuang near Yueyang, to mobilize troops to rescue Xiangtan, after all, Xiangtan was too close to Changsha and could not afford to lose. And once the army is transferred from there, the Tang Army's Shi Zhuang Department will definitely take the opportunity to erode.

Liu Xinda now just wants to take Zhuzhou quickly, where he goes, he can get rid of the control of the Northern Tang Dynasty, from now on, although the road is more difficult to walk, but how to say, he is also a free man. There is no feeling of being used as a knife, and he is still looking forward to it.

Liu Chen's subordinates have set off three days in advance, and their goal is to be the first to enter Zhuzhou, and then carry out large-scale destruction and looting of Zhuzhou, firstly, to collect the grain and money needed by the army, and secondly, to force the defenders of Zhuzhou to respond.

In fact, no matter how the defenders of Zhuzhou responded, it was wrong.

Going out of the city to suppress bandits, it was difficult for them to catch Liu Chen's troops who were wandering around, and once they went out of the city, it was easy to be taken advantage of by Liu Chen. Now Liu Chen is very handy at commanding such a force, and he has a sense of being elusive when he should be divided, gathered when he should be gathered, and between the division and the combination, he feels quite elusive.

This made Liu Xinda have to sigh that war is indeed the best classroom for honing people. Now Liu Chen has a feeling of being reborn.

The defenders of Zhuzhou do not divide their troops, and Liu Chen's department can get enough grain, grass, and money, which is extremely important for Liu Xinda's department.

Before he arrived at his destination and had no fixed territory, what did he rely on to gather the hearts of the army?

Without him, silver ears!

There is not enough money to gather the hearts of the army, but I am afraid that this army will immediately scatter.

Of course, in addition to money, Liu Xinda also painted a beautiful scene for his subordinates after they arrived in the south.

There, the land is fertile.

There, the four seasons are like spring.

There, there are beautiful women.

What's more, there is no such powerful regime or army as the Don Army.

Once there, there is a land for them to gallop on. Whatever they want, they will have.

When they get there, they will become nobles, they will become overlords, and even the most basic soldiers will have large lands, large mountains and forests, luxurious houses, countless livestock, and inexhaustible servants. Each of them can live a life like a king and a general from now on.

Liu Xinda's reputation in the army is still very good, although he is just painting cakes to satisfy hunger, but his soldiers firmly believe that they will definitely reach their destination and reach the peak of their lives.

These soldiers are basically poor families, and their yearning for a better life is their most primitive demand. Leaving the fixed base of Jiujiang and starting to fight everywhere, although there were also complaints, Liu Xinda used one victory after another with very few casualties and a large amount of silver money, so that their morale reached the peak step by step.

Now, everyone is hoping to get out of the country faster and get closer to their destination.

It doesn't matter if it's in the middle of a cold winter like this.

Compared to the good life in the future, suffering a little now is nothing.

I didn't become the second generation of the rich and the second generation of officials, but I can be the father of the second generation of rich officials!

Liu Buwu and Teng Jian's left and right armies had already set off a day ago, and today, Liu Xinda's Chinese army also began to set off. And at most, tomorrow, Pingxiang, which they abandoned, will be taken over by the Tang army.

"Let's go!" After a final glance at the city of Pingxiang, Liu Xinda turned over his horse, raised his hand and whipped it, the horse neighed lightly, and ran forward.

Even though Liu Xinda's headquarters of the Chinese army is all cavalry, it still carries a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance in its headquarters, and it is impossible to march too fast in a day. In addition, the road is rugged and difficult, and in one day, after walking for more than 50 miles, the sky has already darkened.

When we set up camp, it was completely dark.

Liu Xinda, who was dressed in wind and frost, walked into his tent, and on the way to the march, it was natural that everything was simple, even he was here, but he built a fire pit with stones, and the soldiers tried their best to find some dry firewood to make a fire. The inside of the tent was much warmer than the outside, but the smoke was unavoidable.

After choking and coughing several times, Liu Xinda got used to the dim air in the tent, sat by the fire, and drank hot water while watching the report of the former army sent back by the messengers.

As Liu Xinda expected, the Hunan army in Zhuzhou did not go out of the city at all, but tried to recruit the young people from the left to enter the city of Zhuzhou, and the city defense was constantly heightened and strengthened.

Obviously, there is still a full prediction in the direction of Hunan for Liu Xinda to hit Zhuzhou. For a wandering army like Liu Xinda, the other party's strategy is very clear, you have to loot everywhere, my troops are insufficient, there is no way to do anything, I can only let you rob, but you can't besiege the city for a long time, as long as you can't beat it, you will probably have to leave to attack other places.

As for whether other places are well defended and whether they can resist Liu Xinda's attack, it is not a matter of Zhuzhou.

In such a situation, it is everyone who sweeps the snow in front of his own door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others.

The further the battle goes, the harder it will become.

Liu Xinda has a clear understanding of this.

Fighting Jiangxi, he took an unexpected and unexpected advantage, Jiangxi observed the embassy, and he didn't expect that he would do it at all, and there were Tang people behind him.

But now, all the hole cards are exposed, and naturally there is no first-mover advantage.

But Zhuzhou must be defeated, this is the instructions of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he Liu Xinda can't do it, otherwise, the Tang people will make trouble behind their backs, and it will be enough to bury all of Liu's department.

"No matter how hard it is, you have to fight!" He sighed softly, put down the information sent back by Liu Chen, and picked up the letter sent back by Liu Buwu and Teng Jian instead.

The two armies on the left and right are already not far from Zhuzhou. Both of them were quite worried about attacking the well-defended Zhuzhou City, and Teng Jian even suggested that they bypass Zhuzhou City and go to Liling. He had already sent scouts to investigate, and Liling's defense was not at the same level as Zhuzhou's. You can easily take Liling and go straight to Hengyang.

Teng Jian said in the letter that now the Tang army's control over them has become weaker and weaker, as long as they break away quickly enough, they are not afraid of what the Tang army will do behind them.

But Liu Xinda couldn't do that.

Because he also wanted to get the last batch of ordnance from the Tang army after conquering Zhuzhou, and it was also the largest batch of ordnance. After tasting the excellence of these ordnance of the Tang Army, Liu Xinda was already a little unstoppable.

What's more, compared to Liling, Zhuzhou is much wealthier, and Liu Xinda needs more money, so taking Zhuzhou is the only choice.

Let Liu Chen's troops gather to attack first, consume the enemy's defensive equipment, defend the troops, and then do their best to strike at the back. Liu Xinda made up his mind in an instant.

How many people died in Liu Chen's department, Liu Xinda didn't care at all. Anyway, this army has dead people, so it would be nice to get some more people to fill it in.

After writing three letters, let the soldiers send them out immediately, Liu Xinda was ready to sleep well, tomorrow, it will be another day of hard marching, for a person of his age, it is necessary to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

He didn't want to die before he left the army, if he accidentally died, he was afraid that this army would be finished. His son Liu Buwu does not have the ability to control the entire army, at least, Teng Jian is not something that Liu Buwu can control.
