Chapter Seventy-One: Lu Jiajun

Under the snow-white moonlight, the Acropolis of Ningyuan was shining all over the city.

In the early hours of the morning, with the sound of cannons, a quiet town seemed to have exploded and became noisy.

Countless officers and soldiers were so frightened that they crawled out of the bed, and even their clothes were messily dressed, like ants in a hot pot, scurrying around.

The time for half the incense passed, and at the same time as the cannon fire stopped, the sound of shouting and killing came from outside the city rapidly.

A group of soldiers of the new army, dressed in black clothes and black armor, quickly poured into the Ningyuan Acropolis, and then diverged and rushed towards this small city.

The length and width of this small city are less than two miles, and after a while, the streets and alleys here are completely occupied by the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion.

Before the officers and men stationed here had not yet been assembled, they were disarmed one after another and escorted by the officers and men of the new army to the somewhat dilapidated military academy to be taken into custody.

After another cup of tea, the entire Ningyuan Acropolis fell into the hands of Cao Bianjiao.

From the beginning of the city capture operation to the control of the whole city, it did not take more than half an hour, and there was no accident at all.

This is very reasonable, the time and place are favorable, they are all on the side of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, plus the scare of artillery, the numerical advantage of 90,000 fully armed soldiers, and it is a sneak attack, so it is strange if it is unsuccessful.

As usual, a civil and military officer of all sizes was interrogated and screened separately.

A local tyrant and inferior gentry named rich and unkind, corrupt officials, and people who were robbed of their homes, and who committed the most heinous crimes, were beheaded and displayed to the public.

The Royal Construction Brigade, although it has not yet arrived at Ning Yuanwei, the various staff officers are not vegetarians.

According to the established pattern, they gathered almost all the people in the Ningyuan Acropolis.

Those who do not sin to death are, of course, subjected to forced labor reform.

The homeless people, on the other hand, joined the royal construction company on the basis of work.

As soon as the sky was bright, under the command of several staff officers who were familiar with the business, led by various craftsman squads, they began to carry out the renovation of the old city on a large scale.

However, all of this was done by Wang Fuqiang, the deputy commander of the corps, with the soldiers of a division, who stayed behind to guard the city and be responsible for supervision.

And Cao Bianjiao, after the Xuanwu Legion completely controlled the Ningyuan Acropolis, let the soldiers of the other two divisions seize the time to sleep and rest.

As soon as the sky was bright and everyone had breakfast, he took the 60,000 soldiers of the two divisions and began to continue the rapid march to the northeast in the direction of Jinzhou City in the distance.

The current Liaoxi Corridor, with no leader, is an excellent opportunity to completely control the large and small military towns here, and it is easy to achieve the goal.

It's no wonder that the soldiers are desperately rushing to expand their military achievements.

This kind of military exploits that have almost been picked up, although everyone has not enjoyed the refreshing feeling of bloody battles, it is not in vain, the more the merrier.

It is really the role of military achievements, and the attraction of soldiers is too great, and there is no other way to obtain it except in the war.

……

The Blue Dragon Legion led by Lu Xiangsheng is the vanguard army of the other way.

The Blue Dragon Legion was only one step behind the Xuanwu Legion, and it also began to advance towards the Liaoxi Corridor, followed by Liu Zongmin's White Tiger Legion.

As for Cao Wenzhao's Vermilion Bird Legion, it was marching behind the Xuanwu Legion.

There is no way, the western Liaoning corridor is so narrow, and there are rugged mountain roads everywhere, before the construction of the Daguan Road is completed, there is no way to accommodate nearly 400,000 soldiers of the New Army marching at the same time.

The mountains in the area of the North Yan Mountain, undulating, stretching almost the entire corridor of western Liaoning, and there are many large and small rivers, and road traffic is a big problem.

Unlike Cao Bianjiao's vanguard army, Lu Xiangsheng's task was to march along the line of the Great Wall and control all the Great Wall passes in the Liaoxi Corridor.

All the Great Wall passes from Shanhaiguan to the Daliao River valley were ordered to die by His Majesty the Emperor, and they must be controlled.

The composition of Lu Xiangsheng's Blue Dragon Legion, its core generals, is also completely different from other legions.

This Blue Dragon Legion can be said to be the Lu Family Legion.

However, Lu Xiangsheng is not worried about the emperor's suspicions, he knows, and knows very well the temperament of the current emperor.

"The virtuous do not avoid relatives", "the capable go up, the mediocre go down", "only the talent is used".

These three sentences are what His Majesty the Emperor often emphasizes in his mouth.

Not only that, but the emperor also called Li Yan, the minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department, to write these three sentences into slogans and post them on the walls around the military camp in the capital to encourage the soldiers.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng, who won the trust of the emperor, also tried his best to select the generals of the Blue Dragon Legion in accordance with these three requirements.

As a result, in the all-army competition held at the general selection conference, Lu Xiangsheng's brother Lu Xiangguan defeated various competitors in both civil and military aspects and became the deputy commander of the Blue Dragon Legion.

And another brother, Lu Xiangjin, also stood out, second only to Lu Xiangguan's performance, and won the position of commander of a division, and a distant relative from his younger brother Lu Xiangtong won the position of commander of another division.

Lu Xiangsheng's fellow countryman Chen An is also the chief of staff of the Blue Dragon Legion.

There is only one outsider, Xiong Ba, who is the last division commander of the Blue Dragon Legion.

Therefore, the Blue Dragon Legion was nicknamed "Lu Jiajun" by the soldiers!

Lu Xiangsheng led the army, like Cao Bianjiao's Xuanwu Army, and swept all the way on the left side.

In just three days, it conquered and occupied Tiechang Fort, Yong'an Fort, and Sanshan Fort...... and even all the military forts on the front line of Dafu Fort and all the Great Wall passes on the left.

In these large and small passes and military forts, the largest number of officers and soldiers in Liaodong is only a few thousand people in Dafu Fort, and some of the other passes and military forts are only guarded by more than 100 soldiers, and those officers and soldiers naturally cannot resist Lu Xiangsheng's army.

Basically, as soon as the army of the soldiers of the new army arrived, those Liaodong soldiers disarmed and surrendered.

Without the demagogy and command of those culprits, most of the soldiers in the Western Liaoning Corridor still did not dare to rebel, and of course they would not fight desperately against the imperial court.

What's more, these new army soldiers of the imperial court look so scary, and everyone has no ability and confidence to fight.

In front of the right side of Dafu Fort is Jinzhou City.

"I don't know, Cao Bianjiao, who is so happy, has he taken this Jinzhou City?"

Lu Xiangsheng was coming down to clean up the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Dafu Fort, the local tyrants and inferior gentry, looking at the scale of the labor reform team in front of him getting bigger and bigger, but he was thinking about the movements of the Xuanwu Army in his heart.

Although Cao Bianjiao went through the first phase of training at the Army Academy and graduated with the highest grades, his natural belligerent nature has not changed much.

And Lu Xiangsheng's way, there are too many large and small Great Wall passes and military forts, and the time it takes is naturally a lot.

In this way, he couldn't compete for that Cao Bianjiao at all, so he could only watch his Xuanwu Legion arrive at Jinzhou City first and take that Jinzhou City into his pocket.
