Looking at the warrant handed over by the other party, Ding Sheng was stunned and couldn't make a sound for a while.

He recognized his father's handwriting. And the seal on it is also my father's private seal. Very few people know about this seal, unless they are extremely confidants, and they do not know the purpose of this seal. And Lu Yuan happens to be one of them.

"Set off immediately when you see the order, and return to Ding Hao's command!" At the end of the whole order, a line of red characters specially written with a cinnabar pen deeply pierced Ding Sheng's nerves.

What was the reason why my father was far away in Guangzhou City, and he issued such an inexplicable order. Didn't he know that Lu Yuan left the garrison with the most elite 5,000 cavalry in Hunan and tore a big hole in the Yiyang defense line?

If you had informed yourself in advance, you would still have some arrangements, but now that such a team of soldiers and horses has been suddenly transferred, what should you do? Shi Zhuang on the opposite side would be overjoyed to see such a big flaw. If he didn't take advantage of it, what would be the strange thing?

"Young Marshal, do you want to chase General Lu Yuan back immediately?"

Ding Sheng shook his head with a gloomy face: "This is my father's handwritten instruction, Lu Yuan, that old thing, won't pay attention to me." It's all in vain to go. You immediately gather the reserve troops in Yiyang City and rush to the mouth of the Shuangjiang River as fast as possible, hoping to plug this gap in the defense before the opponent discovers this flaw. ”

"Young marshal, the combat effectiveness of the reserve troops can be compared with General Lu Yuan, and the opposite is Chen Chang'an." The generals who came to report said with sad faces.

"Don't say it's Chen Chang'an, even if Shi Zhuang comes in person, he also plugs this opening, otherwise if the Northern Tang army intervenes, the entire Yiyang defense line will collapse. Yiyang couldn't hold it, so it could only retreat to Changsha, and half of Hunan was gone. Ding Sheng roared angrily.

Not to mention that Ding Sheng's side was angry because Lu Yuan suddenly led the army away, and in Hongzhou on the other side, Qian Shouyi had also launched a military operation quickly.

In the bloodiest way, he cleaned up Hongzhou.

For his father's old subordinates, he had only two paths for them to choose, either to die or to submit.

Because of Qian Wenxi's blessing, most of Qian Wenzhong's old subordinates chose to submit, for them, there are not too many moral obstacles, and the difference between loyalty to Lao Tzu and loyalty to his son is not very big. And those who were dead-eyed didn't expect that Qian Shouyi really did what he said, and if he hesitated a little, he would make a cut with a knife.

Qian Shouyi also has no choice, he doesn't have time to rub shoulders with these people, his time is limited.

Ren Xiaonian led the army away, but it only took ten days for the Northern Tang Dynasty Yuxiao Ministry of Culture to fill this gap.

In other words, within ten years, if they can't eliminate Ren Xiaonian's department, what awaits them will definitely be another rotten battle.

This time, they gambled everything, and what they pursued was not just to eliminate Ren Xiaonian's Northern Tang army.

Their goal is the entire Right Thousand Cow Guard.

Only by defeating the entire Right Qianniuwei can the Northern Tang Army be greatly damaged in the south, and the Southern Alliance can re-establish its military superiority in the area of Eyue.

After the reorganization, the entire 40,000 Jiangxi Army, plus the 10,000 Lingnan Army led by Ji Zhijiang, rushed towards Yichun at the fastest speed.

At this time, the troops left in Yichun by Ren Xiaonian's department in the Northern Tang Dynasty were only 1,000 people.

It's these thousand people, and they're not soldiers. Instead, it is subordinate to Ren Xiaonian's logistics track, field hospital, engineering technology and other arms.

Yichun now has nearly 50,000 stone grain and grass and all kinds of logistics supplies under Ren Xiaonian's department, and Cheng Guangzhi, the captain of Zhenwu as the prime minister's logistics, will continue to send these logistics materials to the front line. Ensuring that the supply of the front-line army will not be in short supply during such a season.

These days, he barely gets a good night's sleep. The main reason is that it is difficult to recruit people. Yichun encountered a war, and a large number of people in the vicinity fled, and it was too difficult to recruit enough people.

Cheng Guangzhi, who was in a hurry, was easy to get angry, and had two big bubbles on his mouth, and after inspecting the warehouse for the last time, he finally had time to go back to his room, drink a sip of tea, and then soak a comfortable foot, and then sleep beautifully.

The first stage of the grain and grass delivery task has basically been completed. Although the process is not too perfect, the completion of the task is stronger than anything else.

In the end, the people were almost forcibly recruited. At this time, he Cheng Guangzhi didn't care about discipline or anything like that, and it was nothing compared to letting the soldiers on the front line starve and freeze, and making these locals suffer a little. Even if he was held accountable by the Ombudsman after the war, he didn't care.

Anyway, I'm a lot older, and after this battle, I'm probably going to retire.

Friends who were about the same age as him, after losing hope of promotion, basically retired this time and returned to their hometown with their retirement money to live a comfortable life.

Although I am a little reluctant to live in the army, I think about it after going back, sunrise carrying a hoe and leading the old cow to cultivate my own fields, lying under my grape trellis after sunset to sip a few sips of wine, watching my wife feed chickens and ducks in the yard, listening to a few big fat pigs chirping and eating a lot, it is also a very good enjoyment.

I've been fighting for half my life, what do you ask for?

Isn't it just asking for such a peaceful and peaceful day?

A few days ago, my wife sent a letter, saying that the eldest son of the family had taken a fancy to a girl in a neighboring village, and had asked someone to say goodbye, just waiting for him to go home, and the two families could get married.

In the blink of an eye, his son was about to get married, Cheng Guangzhi wiped the beard on his chin, and couldn't help but laugh with relief, his children and grandchildren were around his knees, not far from him.

It's a pity that I'm one step away from the position of general. If he hadn't been injured the year before last, he would never have been able to go to the battlefield again, he would have been unable to earn his military exploits, and he would have been promoted this year, and he would have been able to go further. And after moving to logistics, some big bosses like myself are really difficult to do.

Those large and small forms sent by army logistics look really difficult, that feeling of being powerless, sometimes, I really want Cheng Guangzhi to pick up a knife and cut people.

There was no way, he could only use the trick of being able to make up for his clumsiness. More time and more effort to make up for the lack of capacity in this area. The changes over the years have been so fast, and the new recruits are all literate and hyphenated, especially those officers who have graduated from military academies and come to intern.

It is also thanks to these people that I have been able to do this errand until now, and there has been no omission.

But Cheng Guangzhi also came to his senses. In the army in the future, a big old man like himself who can't read many words is afraid that he will really have no place to stand.

The water in the iron kettle in the fire pit was boiling, and Cheng Guangzhi decided to make himself a pot of hot tea first, and then soak his feet while drinking hot tea.

Of course, the tea is not good, it is just some of the cheapest tea foam, but Cheng Guangzhi is just like this, a large handful of tea foam is thrown in, and the tea brewed is bitter and astringent, but he enjoys it. Others said that he couldn't sleep at all after drinking such tea, and he snorted, what does it mean to not be able to sleep, that is not tired. Like himself, no matter how much he drank, he still snored like thunder when he fell on the bed.

I had just finished making tea and was about to pour the water from the iron kettle into the wooden basin, when the door was slammed open. His deputy, the little guy from the Wuyi Military Academy, almost dragged a soaked guy in.

"Captain Cheng, the enemy is coming!"

Cheng Guangzhi stood up straight, looked at the deputy who was a little panicked, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the panic, what's wrong?" ”

"Captain Cheng, the enemy army in Jiangxi is coming. There were 50,000 of them. There are 10,000 forwards, and it is less than fifty miles away from Yichun, and it will arrive in Yichun tomorrow at the latest! "This guy who is soaked all over, his tone is intermittent, if he is not supported, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand steadily." I am stationed in Jiangxi internal guard, after learning the news, all the way to the small road, but the enemy scouts patrolled around, intercepted and killed, we came out all the way out of five people, only afraid of the other few, are more than lucky. ”

Cheng Guangzhi blinked and looked at each other, and did not react for a while.

Didn't the general say that there was internal strife in Jiangxi, and his son snatched Lao Tzu's position, and he was killed with a river of blood, so he didn't have the energy to take care of this side of the matter at all? Why did you kill it in a blink of an eye?

Thinking of this, a stirring suddenly reacted.

"How many people do you say?"

"50,000 people, 40,000 Jiangxi troops, and 10,000 Lingnan troops, Qian Shouyi poured out!" The inner guard said loudly.

Although Cheng Guangzhi is now doing duty, he is an old soldier, and when he heard this number, his face turned pale. This is simply against their main forces.

After going around the room several times, seeing that the guard seemed to be about to faint, he stuffed the teapot in his hand into his hand, and said to his deputy: "Pass my order, and the whole army will assemble." ”

"Captain Cheng, there are a thousand of us, but I'm afraid we won't be able to keep Yichun."

"the fart!" Cheng Guangzhi said angrily: "It's not enough to even stuff the enemy's teeth, gather all of us and prepare to leave Yichun." ”

"There are still 50,000 stone of grain here in Yichun, so many ordnance materials!" The deputy said in a trembling voice.

"Gather all the mules and horses, without our people, take as many as you can, and burn them with fire if you can't take them away!" Cheng Guangzhi shouted.

"Burn it?" The deputy was a little sluggish.

"If you don't burn it, will you leave it for the enemy to eat and the enemy to use?" Cheng Guangzhi said angrily: "Not only do we have to burn the things we can't take away, but this city will also be burned for me." The enemy must not be allowed to occupy it, and when the time comes, our rescue force will have to attack this ruined city! Also, immediately send someone to send a letter to General Ren Xiaonian and tell him everything that happened here. ”
