Less than a moment later, the officers and men of the whole battalion received a message: the overseer selected personal guards, and those brave and elite cavalry archers in the army could participate in the registration, and the quota was only thirty-six.

The whole battalion was in an uproar, not to mention that as the soul of the whole army, the soldiers were very willing to get close to this young overseer, and the personal guards were paid high and had a future, but anyone who joined the army did not want to run for a great future, and now it was a sunny avenue.

There was nothing to do when the army rested, and the matter of the whole army of the overseer picking up the eighteen iron guards immediately became a breaking news, and even Wu Zhong, Chen Wangting and others, who were competing, also participated.

At this time, the front of the horse sent an urgent report: Liu Zeqing fought with the thief army in the river more than ten miles south of Gaoyi City, and Li Chengdong helped to defeat the enemy again, and the thief army of the exploration divided a group of men and horses to go south at a rapid pace, Li Yan judged that the thief army had fought with Gao Jie's men and horses in the south, and suggested that Chang Yu order a quick pursuit.

Chang Yu smiled after hearing the news, and ordered the scout to order Li Yan: Stabilize the waves, follow Liu Zeqing to bite the people of the thief army, and help him when necessary.

Li Muxian smiled like a flower next to him, and said in a low voice: "Then Li Chengdong is a good dog, it's a pity to kill him."

"A dog is a good dog, but it doesn't distinguish between good and bad, and it will bite you back one day, and it's still a mad dog, the kind that is mad" Chang Yu sneered.

Li Muxian was stunned: "Overseer...... I am a little puzzled by the lowly position."

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "You just need to know that he is a dog, a dog cooked by a rabbit and a dead dog."

Zhang Nai was defeated by Liu Zeqing in the early morning, and then retreated dozens of miles and set up a defensive line on the south bank of the Gaoyi Chengnan River, and in less time a 3,000 cavalry of officers and soldiers pursued him.

However, this cavalry did not move, but confronted each other several miles apart, until Liu Zeqing's army arrived in the evening, and the battle started directly without saying a word.

In the previous war, Zhang Nai was extremely unconvinced, believing that the reason for the defeat was too many unstable factors, such as various bluffs and roundabouts of officers and soldiers, and the low morale of the rebel army.

But at this time, his morale had recovered after resting for half a day, and the four troops combined to win again, and the cannon fodder helped to secure the chances of victory, so he decided to be ashamed.

In fact, the battle did turn out as he expected.

After the start of the fight, Liu Zeqing regretted a little, he was in a hurry, and he was a little light, and the men and horses under his command were tired of chasing for days, and the opponent had a large number of troops and cannon fodder to help him fight, and his face hurt when he was beaten as soon as he started.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, although he was unwilling, he was helpless, and he was about to order a retreat, but at this time, a group of four or five thousand reinforcements arrived, and a large army was a few miles later, and the thief army was frightened and retreated.

I thought it was Li Yan coming to help, but I didn't know that it was an unknown young general, saying that it was Li Chengdong who listened to orders under Gao Jie, and as for the people in the rear, it was Niu Yong and Li Yan.

Except for Li Yan, Liu Zeqing had never heard the names of Niu Yong and Li Chengdong at all, but after all, people helped him at a critical moment, and Liu Zeqing still went to thank him in person.

Li Chengdong recently felt that Chang Yu valued him, and he was full of pride when he helped win the battle just now, and said that he would pursue the thief army with Liu Zeqing.

I don't know if I want to fight for merit, Liu Zeqing is not happy, but he can't say bad if he has just helped, so he asked if Chang Yu had an order.

Li Chengdong shook his head: "The lord ordered the lowly and general Niu to be the vanguard, and the rest was not explained" said and said in a mysterious whisper: "When you fought fiercely before, the thief army was obviously not supported, and the lowly position proposed to support, but General Niu said that he was looking at the ......."

Liu Zeqing sighed and smiled coldly: "Then Li Yan didn't say anything at that time?" ”

"General Li didn't say anything, he still humbled his position, and saw that the general army was not supported, so he led his troops to help" Li Chengdong said softly, Liu Zeqing nodded slightly, his expression was very playful, and then he smiled again: "You are just a small guerrilla general, then Niu Yong and Li Yan have a great rank and you, how dare you make your own decisions and disobey the order?" ”

Li Chengdong smiled when he heard this, this is why he felt that Chang Yu valued him, he was originally a guerrilla under Gao Jie, although he was a confidant but his rank was not high, after being seconded by Chang Yu, he gave 2,000 captive soldiers in Zhaozhou, and then participated in the battle in Zhending Mansion and performed well in his hands, and also received a lot of miscellaneous troops, when he was ordered to replace Teng Xiangwei in the morning, Chang Yu raised his hand more generously and gave 5,000 men and horses the military power, of course, these horses are Ma Shiyao's old troops or prisoners.

Therefore, although he has a low military rank, his military power is not small, comparable to generals such as Niu Yong, and the most important thing is that Chang Yu made him maverick from beginning to end and did not say who he was under the command to obey orders, so Zhou Yuji couldn't control him, and Huang Degong couldn't control him, which made Li Chengdong have an illusion that he belonged to Chang Yu's direct jurisdiction and was comparable to the existence of the fourth battalion of Dongchang.

This time, Liu Zeqing was also secretly surprised, it seems that he is the henchman of the little eunuch, could it be that he is staring at me? The attitude between the words was more gentle, which made Li Chengdong very useful.

"Since there is no military order for the supervision, you should go with Li Yan and them, otherwise the overseer will charge the general with the crime of privately transferring people, and the general will not be able to afford it" Liu Zeqing was reluctant to go with him.

It's just that this broken reason is too far-fetched, with Li Chengdong's pig brain, he feels spicy, and he said: "Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs", but in fact, where does he get so much kindness, it is nothing more than wanting to compete for merit.

At this time, Li Yan sent someone to report, saying that he had found out that the thief army in front had fled into Yao County at night, and a group of men and horses were quickly moving south...... In view of the exhaustion of Liu Zeqing's men, Li Yan decided to march quickly to chase him.

Liu Zeqing believes in the authenticity of Li Yan's information, because although this goods has been behind, he has not been idle, and he has explored Ma Sa, but he can't let Li Yan chase after him first, and he is about to chase after him, you go over and pick the peaches, then my hardships in the past few days have not been in vain.

Help me up, I'm okay!

Liu Zeqing was worried that Li Yan was plundering his merits, so he categorically rejected Li Yan's kindness, and after a little rest, he pulled out the camp and chased after him, and he was worried that his strength was insufficient, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to Li Chengdong with him, because he saw that this kid was not only ruthless and ambitious, but more importantly, he felt that Li Chengdong was Chang Yu's person, so what about sharing his benefits.

This is in Li Chengdong's heart, and he happily goes together, and the two ride side by side, thinking proudly about how to break the thief's rear army with the momentum of breaking the bamboo, and chase Li Zicheng to kill him. Not worried about the lack of strength at all, with Li Yan and Niu Yong following behind, Liu Zeqing didn't believe that they didn't reach out to support at the critical moment, if this was the case, the little eunuch would naturally not bypass them.
