On an official road in Jixi County, a red flag fluttered in the wind.

Under the dense banners, many Yan troops in armor, lined up in a neat queue, were marching.

At this time, there was a burst of orders, and the entire army stopped.

A temporary tent was set up on a vacant lot next to the road.

As the makeshift tent was erected, the whole camp began to be noisy.

At this time, inside the camp tent, several Yan soldiers were joking with a young Yan army:

"Erwa, why did you say your father named you this name?"

This person, known as Erwa, is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young Yan Jun who still has a childish face.

Hearing everyone make such a joke, he replied embarrassedly:

"My father said, we farmers, don't have such a precious name, if it was the original, we didn't even have a surname. This is also in our Yan country, everyone has given a surname. ”

In the ranks, a man dressed as an officer came over and said with a smile:

"Erwa, your father's thinking is unacceptable, according to what the newspaper said, it is too ......, yes, what kind of "conservative" thinking. Our former comrades-in-arms are counted as your father's conservative thinking. ”

"Look, you two brothers, the eldest is called a big brick, and the second is called Erwa. Speaking of him, he did not listen. This time he came to fight in Qidi, and he also competed with me, and he grabbed this opportunity to lead troops with me, which was simply ......."

The officer said this and did not say any more.

In front of other people's sons, saying bad things about other people's fathers is not good.

This young Yan Jun, known as Erwa, didn't care about this, and said to the officer:

"Uncle Li, after my father lost to you in the martial arts competition, he went home and told me, if he hadn't had a chest injury before, he didn't dare to use it up during the competition, you were not his opponent."

The officer, known as Uncle Li, looked to be in his forties.

After hearing this young Yan Jun's question, he glared at this young Yan Jun with a smile.

"Erwa, I don't want to call Uncle Li in the army, I want to call the company commander, understand?"

This young Yan Jun said shyly:

"Uncle Li, no, company commander, I'm ......"

The officer, who was in his forties, stepped forward with a smile and patted the young Yan Jun on the shoulder, and said:

"Okay, your father is right, when he fought Jilin County, your father was injured, otherwise, I really can't beat him during the competition. You don't know how powerful your father was when he was young. ”

Many young Yan Jun laughed when they heard this.

This Yan Army officer glared fiercely at the laughing soldiers around him, and scolded loudly:

"Although we are usually reservists, as soon as we arrive at the front, we are included in the regular army. You should remember to Lao Tzu that when it comes to war, don't be afraid, if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you. ”

"Who dares not to work hard, lose Lao Tzu's face, and then Lao Tzu will clean you up. If anyone dares to escape, Lao Tzu will not see you as a villager, spare you, and will personally cut off your heads. ”

The many young Yan soldiers beside this officer said loudly together:

"Company commander, we remember."

The officer looked at a bamboo flute hanging from Erwa's chest and said to him:

"Erwa, play a tune for everyone to relieve the boredom on the march."

This is called Erwa, the young Yan Jun nodded, pursed his mouth, put the bamboo flute to his mouth, and blew a folk song "Embroidered Purse" that is now popular in Yan Kingdom, and many Yan soldiers around him also sang along with it.

"From the first day of the first year to the fifteenth month, the fifteenth month is high. The spring breeze is swinging, and the willows are ......"

Not far away, in the Chinese army tent of this reserve Yan army, Brigadier General Ma Liang also heard the singing of the soldiers in the battalion.

Listening to this song, I remembered my wife and even my own children in Xiangping City.

I couldn't help myself, and a smile appeared on my face.

The Yan army led by Ma Liang was the reserve division of Liaodong County that participated in the war.

In mid-March, the division gathered at Lushun and landed by boat from Linzi County in Qidi.

Then, all the way west, we stepped into Jixi County.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the tent, and Ma Liang was stunned.

In a moment, a herald captain walked into the tent and fell to one knee.

Holding the document high in both hands, he reported to Ma Liangyu: "General Qiyu, the army commander has given an order to let my division advance to Fancheng (now Fanxian County in the east of Henan Province) at the southern end of Xinyi City, Jixi County, and garrison Fancheng. This is a warrant from the commander, please look at it by the general. ”

One of the guards in the tent stepped forward, and from then on, the captain took the warrant and handed it to Ma Liang.

Ma Liang unfolded the warrant, and after reading it, he said to the captain of the herald:

"Captain, the general knows, he will definitely arrive at Fan City at the southern end of Xinyi on time according to the order of the army commander, you go down to rest for the time being."

The herald captain stood up, bowed and said, "Your subordinates obey." ”

When the captain was out of the tent, Maleonn stood up and came to the map in the tent.

He clicked on Xinyi City on the map with his hand, and said softly: "I thought that when I went to Diqiu City, I would participate in the battle with the enemy!" Unexpectedly, it was still stationed on a mission. ”

The young general, at this time, thought that the Yan army under his command had a very easy task.

He never thought that after this military order was issued, a tragic offensive and defensive battle related to the outcome of this battle would be started by the reserve division led by him in Fancheng.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, in a Yan army camp outside Gaotang City, the county capital of Jixi County, a team of cavalry rushed out and headed towards the city.

The leader is none other than Hu Guiliang, the commander of the Third Army of the Yan Army.

At present, Hu Guiliang, who is in his fifties, can be regarded as a brilliant battle.

Since returning to Ji Kang in Liaodi, with his loyalty and military talent, Hu Guiliang has now been awarded the rank of general and a third-class earl, which can be regarded as a high-ranking official in Yan State.

After entering Gaotang City, Hu Guiliang and his entourage rode their horses slowly.

At this moment, Gaotang City has become a military city due to the war.

Everywhere in the city, you can see Yan troops dressed in armor and hurrying in steps.

After coming to the military and horse governor's mansion in the city, Hu Guiliang threw off his horse, sorted out his military appearance, walked calmly, walked into the mansion with his head held high, and headed towards the hall in front.

After entering the hall, many Yan army generals stood up and bowed to Hu Guiliang.

Hu Guiliang was satisfied with this.

He is now also a senior general of the Yan Army, and he is not the person who was called "Hu Man" before.

Looking up, I saw that these generals in the hall were all with the rank of brigadier general.

Like himself, all of them were dressed in standard steel armor, wearing red robes, and carrying swords at their waists.

Due to the rich nutrition and strict training of the Yan army, these many Yan army generals in the hall are all straight and burly. Between words and deeds, they all have a unique temperament in the army.

At this time, a shout came from the hall: "General Gao Yang Jun Rong has arrived." ”

When Hu Guiliang heard this, he was shocked, before, he didn't know that Prime Minister Rong had arrived in Gaotang City.

Together with the generals in the hall, they hurriedly stood up and bowed to greet them.

Rong Yan, accompanied by the general Wang Shi, walked into the hall and sat down on the main seat.

looked at the many Yan army generals in the lower hall, and said, "Everyone sit down." ”

After the generals sat down, Rong Yan said to the generals in the hall with a solemn expression:

"Everyone is here, I'll tell you about the situation of this big battle."
