At this moment, Duan Chong is sitting on the war horse going south, this time, Duan Chong has taken over a total of 15,000 men and horses from Duan Zhuang's hands, this is already the limit of the strength that Duan Zhuang can give Duan Chong, after all, this large piece of land west of Changsha Mansion is now the fat in Dali's mouth, since it is fat, then it must be held well, and there is no reason to spit it out, so Duan Zhuang naturally has to leave enough troops to garrison the land, and Duan Chong can take away 15,000 soldiers and horses this time, It is also a full half of the 30,000 troops brought out by Duan Zhuang in Dali, which is already very difficult, and Duan Chong this time, as the commander of the Southern Expedition, commanded the 15,000 men and horses, of course, according to the agreement between Duan Zhong and Xiao Beiping, the 20,000 horses under General Ying Haiying should also belong to Duan Chong's command.

This time, Duan Chong naturally can't lead the army in his own name, after all, Duan Chong is still a missing figure at the moment, and he is dead in the minds of many people, so at this moment Duan Chong hangs on his head is the name of a senior officer and general in Dali, Shan Teng, of course, dear readers, if you have a little common sense, you will know that this "single" word is homophonic with "good", not with "egg", as for the so-called "egg pain", it is completely, so Duan Chong is now worthy of the name...... General Shan.

The reason why Duan Chong agreed to Xiao Beiping's request was naturally after many considerations, the first point was because he had promised to help Xiao Beiping, so since he agreed, with Duan Chong's temperament, he naturally wanted to do it, no matter how he helped; As for the second point, it is because of the conditions given by Xiao Beiping, promising Dali's army to be stationed in the land west of Changsha Mansion, there is no doubt that Dali has occupied the land west of Changsha Mansion, and there is no possibility of returning it, so Xiao Beiping also knows this, and Dali's current behavior is clearly to take advantage of the fire to rob, because Duan Zhong did not die, the reason for Dali to send troops is not valid, but it is unrealistic to want Dali to spit out this piece of fat, Xiao Beiping knows this deeply, So he simply used the right to use this piece of land that will never come back in exchange for Duan Chong's help. Although this period of heavy and Dali did not get any practical benefits, but it is better than nothing, and the third point, it is naturally because Duan Chong followed the second prince of Nanliang Xiao Bei must have Liangzi, Duan Chong has never been a generous person, you provoked me once, I naturally have to return it a thousand times and a hundred times, to sum up, Duan Chong agreed to Xiao Beiping's request full of treachery.

Of course, the operation of this southern expedition will definitely be difficult, in addition to the climate, terrain and other factors in southern Xinjiang mentioned by Duan Chong, the dispatch and command of this army is also a great problem, it is obvious that Duan Chong brought this 15,000 people not to charge into battle and send them to death, since Xiao Beiping dared to put the 20,000 horses under the command of General Ying Haiying in the south as his commander, then these things are naturally for the soldiers of the Southern Liang to do, but the General Ying Haiying of the Southern Liang is a veteran and tiger general, And Dali's military strength is significantly weaker than that of Southern Liang, even if there is a document from Xiao Beiping, the emperor of Southern Liang, this General Ying Haiying will not willingly give up the army of 20,000 people to Duan Chong, a milky and dry senior general in Dali.

Therefore, if Duan Chong's southern expedition wants to proceed smoothly this time, then it is necessary to get this general Ying Haiying first and obtain the real command of these 20,000 soldiers, and at the same time, Duan Chong also knows that this winter is coming, when he waves his army to attack Liangguang, this north-south war may also be carried out at the same time, and Nanliang is at an obvious disadvantage in this battle, how to get through this difficulty, it depends on Xiao Beiping himself, after all, Duan Chong is currently in the Liangguang region, which is really ...... The whip is out of reach.

The place where General Haiying garrisoned the army was called Qianzhou, which was located directly south of Changsha Prefecture, so Dali's army was drawn out from Qianzhou County west of Changsha Prefecture, and it only took about ten days to travel not far, and the Liangguang army led by the second prince of Xiao Beiding was in the county town called Tingzhou in the southeast of Qianzhou, separated by many hills and mountains, but the actual distance was not far.

The name of the governor of these two Guang is Diao Bin, and the second prince of Xiao Beiding still has a little distant blood relationship, and the reason why this Diao Bin was able to climb to the position of the governor of Liangguang is naturally similar to the promotion of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, these two Guang are sparsely populated, the terrain is complex, but there are also twenty or thirty thousand horses, plus Xiao Beiding's eldest prince has 20,000 horses in Nanliang himself, and then the followers Xiao Beiding went to Liangguang together, so the number of this army is not inferior at all, but the two Guangxi areas are vast, The number of troops required to be stationed is also huge, so the number of men and horses that can be mobilized is only less than 30,000, and in terms of the comparison of troops, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched.

And about 20,000 horses led by the second prince of Xiao Beiding were stationed in Tingzhou, southeast of Qianzhou, and 20,000 horses under the command of Diao Bin, the governor of Liangguang, were stationed in Guangzhou, southwest of Qianzhou.

As for Duan Chong, I believe that this General Ying Haiying will not be very welcome to his arrival, but Duan Chong came at the invitation of Xiao Beiping, if this General Ying Haiying is obedient, if he is disobedient, then he can only think of a way to make him obedient.

In fact, Qianzhou is just a small county seat, not a county seat at all, but because of the special military geographical significance here, the military defense work of this Qianzhou is much stricter than the general county seat, so when Duan Zhong rode on the war horse and saw the dilapidated small city in the distance, the feeling of the gap in his heart was very large, and it seemed that the two Guangzhous in his imagination were not much different from reality, and the days here were indeed much harder.

And outside the city gate of this Qianzhou, there were already a large number of military horses outside the city, it seems that this General Ying Haiying has already received Duan Chong, no, it should be the message that General Shan Teng is about to arrive, so he is waiting outside the city gate, of course, the reason why he will bring so many military horses outside the city gate is also because he wants to give Duan Zhong a ...... demonstrative.

Seeing Qianzhou getting closer and closer, Duan Chong looked from afar, but saw a man and a horse standing proudly in front of all the military horses not far away, and this person was about forty years old, with some vicissitudes on his face, and his eyes staring at Duan Chong were very sharp, obviously a weathered old general, compared to his qualifications, he was naturally higher than Duan Chong.

And after Duan Zhong entered the field of vision of this Ying Haiying general, Duan Chong did clearly notice the change in the old general's expression, and at first there was a look of shock on his face, but soon this shock turned into ...... Disdain, obviously, for Duan Chonghui to be so young, this old general did not expect, and for such a young commander, even a general of another country who wants to stand in his position, he is even more disdainful.

However, these were obviously in Duan Chong's imagination, but he didn't seem to be surprised, but walked very indifferently, and arched his hand and said: "Presumably this is General Ying Haiying, fortunately, Shan Teng has admired it for a long time!" ”

General Ying Haiying nodded, but replied without being salty: "I didn't expect General Shan to be so young and able to serve as a senior general in Dali, but he responded to this sentence of rare achievement!" ”

Duan Zhong smiled, regardless of whether General Ying Haiying was sarcastic or really praised, and continued to say: "In the future war between the two Guangzhous, we still need more cooperation from both sides, and there will definitely be a lot of places to consult General Ying in the future, if Shan Teng has any bias, I still have to ask General Ying to correct more!" ”

Duan Zhong naturally said extremely humble, which made General Ying Haiying feel much more comfortable, so his originally cold face suddenly eased a lot, and said: "General Shan can have such achievements at a young age, you should not be presumptuous, there will naturally be many opportunities for this exchange in the future, since General Shan has arrived, let's go to the city!" It's not hospitality outside the city! "Obviously, this General Ying Haiying originally wanted to give Duan Chong a dismount, but Duan Chong's attitude was too humble, but it made General Ying Haiying unable to start, this is the way of life, Duan Chong naturally understands, if you want Dali's army to have fewer casualties in Liangguang, it is natural to deal with the relationship with this Ying Haiying General, it is definitely not possible to force it, Duan Zhong is very good at winning people's hearts, but this General Ying Haiying still shows the relationship between the host and the guest, Duan Zhong is a guest, General Ying Haiying is the master, which is also implying that Duan Zhong is on the master's territory, so he naturally has to listen to the master.

Duan Zhong followed General Ying Haiying into the city, and as for the 15,000 Dali soldiers he brought, they were led by Ying Haiying's partial generals to the barracks to settle down, after all, with so many troops, a small county town could not be placed.

The mansion where General Ying Haiying lives is also extremely simple, it seems that General Ying Haiying is willing to live a hard life, but it is not in vain to the name of this general, after all, a general who can lead the army to fight always has some ability, and when he arrived in the hall of the mansion, the tea was served, and General Ying Haiying said a few polite words to Duan Chong, and then continued: "General Shan came from afar, let's go and rest first!" ”

Duan Chong shook his head: "The military situation is urgent, Shan Teng still wants to learn about the situation with General Ying first!" ”
