The sound of heavy footsteps pierced the silence of the deep forest, and the frightened bird fluttered its wings and flew out of the canopy. Where the birds are scattered, a big banner stands up, and there is a big word "righteousness" written on it.

This big flag with yellow edge and black background is very famous in Sichuan, and there is a saying among the people that "once the black flag comes out, there is no daylight". Even children cry at night will use this to threaten, saying that countless fierce ghosts will drill out of the ground under its banner, dragging people's intestines out and circling the tree three times.

Mao Andong looked at this big banner blowing in the wind, and couldn't help but sigh. The owner of this flag is no longer there, and he will take this flag with him and shoulder the mission of leading the Tsing Yi Army to continue to advance.

"Where's Staff Officer Yang?" Mao Andong looked left and right, didn't see Yang Zhaofeng's figure, and asked.

A soldier replied: "There is a situation behind the suitable team, and Staff Officer Yang went to check." ”

"Situation? How did I not know? "There's something strange about Mao'an East.

Before the soldier could speak, Cui Shuqiang, who was not far away, heard his question, and said with a smile: "What else is the situation?" I must have taken care of the little girl in the back. ”

Mao Andong frowned, "Oh", and continued to ask: "That woman Staff Officer Yang has taken a fancy to it?" ”

Cui Shuqiang laughed and said: "It's not that I like it, I'm afraid I'm in love." Hehe, in the end, he is young and not strong enough. ”

Mao Andong shook his head and said, "What is the origin of that woman?" ”

"I don't know. It was rescued from the mountains in the north of Suining, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it has something to do with the official army......," Cui Shuqiang said while holding his chin. When he was in Guangshan, the soldier found a letter from the official barracks, and when he heard something about it, he naturally associated it with this woman. But Yang Zhaofeng hid after getting the letter, he wanted to come, but he couldn't read, and he forgot about it under the complicated military affairs. Looking back now, he felt more and more that Yang Zhaofeng had seen something and deliberately concealed it from himself and others. But he had no evidence, and his memory was gradually blurring, so he could only roughly speculate about the woman's origin.

"I see, no wonder Staff Officer Yang has always been very interested in this woman, maybe there is something unexpected in it." Mao Andong didn't quite believe what Cui Shuqiang said, and Yang Zhaofeng fell in love with the woman Yunyun. In his opinion, Yang Zhaofeng is old and serious, and his temperament is far beyond his actual age, how can such a skilled and resourceful person easily fall into a gentle township? Besides, for him and most of the generals, women are just like goods, which can be used to vent when needed, and can be thrown aside if they don't need to. Therefore, Mao Andong is more inclined to think that the reason why Yang Zhaofeng treats the woman like this is because he has foresight.

Cui Shuqiang laughed dryly, didn't squeak again, and Mao'an Dong said: "After crossing this mountain, you will arrive at Pengxi." It seems that Kong Quanbin will not come. ”

"If he had a long memory, he wouldn't come back." Cui Shuqiang snorted and said, his face full of disdain, "If it weren't for the fast running of this surnamed Kong's feet, I would have to take him to sacrifice the flag." "After the battle the day before yesterday, Kong Quanbin lost all his grain and grass, and led his troops to retreat to the north of Xichong. The Tsing Yi army was unwilling to entangle with him any longer, and after resting for a night, the whole army marched westward, and after more than a day, there was no movement from Kong Quanbin. The heavy snow is coming, and it seems that Kong Quanbin also has to consider the logistics supply of his thousands of people first.

Mao and Cui were talking with each other, and news suddenly came back from the front, saying that Jing Keqin, who was leading the troops first, encountered the officers and soldiers in front and was now in a scuffle.

"Officers and soldiers?" Mao'an Dong rushed to the top with enthusiasm, full of energy, and shouted.

"The details are unknown, but looking at its scale, it is almost the same as Jing Qian!" Jing Keqin has 600 subordinates, so it is speculated that the officers and troops in front of him are less than 1,000 people.

When Cui Shuqiang heard this, he immediately asked for his life: "There are still more than 1,000 people in the rear team of our army, so it is better to copy left and right, close the door and beat the dog!" ”

Mao Andong thought for a while and said: "If the officers and troops are strong, I am afraid that this will be unfavorable to me...... "It is not the best policy for the enemy to be strong and divide the troops to be weak."

Before he finished speaking, a Tang soldier came from the front line again, and when he saw Mao Andong dancing and said: "Our army has an advantage in the front, and Jing Qian asks the general army to send troops immediately!" "Both the advantage and the support of the troops, it is obvious, I am afraid that Jing Keqin thinks that he is sure to annihilate this army completely.

"Order, the army is divided into left and right flanks, and all run forward!" Mao Andong was overjoyed when he heard this, he fought for many months, and he was either beaten violently or won and was disgraced, how could he have thought that he would encounter such pustuated officers and soldiers? He felt that he had an opportunity not to lose.

Cui Shuqiang also thought so, so when Yang Zhaofeng received the news and rushed forward panting to remind Mao Andong to act cautiously, Mao and Cui had already led the left and right wings of soldiers and horses to kill and disappear, leaving only a hundred people in place to protect a small amount of baggage and entourage.

Fortunately, Mao Andong and Cui Shuqiang's decision was not wrong, Yang Zhaofeng waited for less than half an hour, and then received a message that he wanted to take the remaining personnel who stayed in place to meet at the front. From this, it can be seen that the unlucky officer army on the opposite side is indeed vulnerable.

Coming to the battlefield ahead, here the soldiers of the Tsing Yi Army are in groups of three or five, and they have begun to clean the battlefield, Mao Andong and Cui Shuqiang are sweaty, squatting together to drink water and rest. Looking at them again, beside them, there was a man with a big tie, who was fat, with slanted hair and armor, staring at the ground sluggishly.

"This is the leader of the official army?" Yang Zhaofeng walked over, said hello to the two, pointed at the fat man and asked.

Cui Shuqiang jumped up and kicked the fat man, and the fat man immediately screamed in pain like a pig.

"Fat pig, what's your name!" Cui Shu scolded fiercely.

He originally wanted to intimidate the fat man, but the fat man was shocked and thought that he asked for his name, and immediately shouted: "Back to the chief, the villain's name is Shi Meng, the stone of the stone, Meng, Meng...... Drizzle! ”

Cui Shuqiang "snapped" and gave him two big-eared scrapers and scolded: "Lao Tzu didn't ask you, what are you doing on your own?" How dare the fat man refute half a sentence, even making a promise, but before the words of begging for mercy were spoken, Cui Shuqiang seemed to have to slap his palm twice, "Damn, what kind of drizzle, bullying Lao Tzu for not reading and not reading?" ”

This fat man's eyes were full of tears, and he said that he was the Qianhu Shimeng of Bao Ningwei, who was assigned by Tan Daxiao to garrison here not long ago. When Tan Daxiao sent out the army this morning, he asked him if he was willing to go to Chicheng Mountain with him to fight the thieves, but Shi Meng was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he refused. Tan Daxiao had no way, so he sent him to the northeast to patrol and ask him to "guard against the enemy from the north". Shi Meng was worried, and Tan Daxiao told him that the probability of an enemy coming from the north was not great, so he was a little relieved.

Shi Meng chose what he considered to be a "dangerous place" garrison defense at the junction of Pengxi and Nanchong in the northeast, and spent a morning with hundreds of officers and soldiers under his command, but fortunately, as Tan Daxiao said, it was safe and sound. Seeing that the shadow of the sun began to set to the west, he felt that his worries might be unnecessary, and he felt a sense of relief. But he didn't expect that just before he was about to withdraw his troops, the "enemy from the north" really came.

Since leaving Boryeong Mansion and wandering in the triangle of Boryeong Mansion, Tongchuan Prefecture and Shunqing Mansion, Shi Meng and his officers and soldiers have not won a single battle, and only recently have they barely picked up a few victories behind Tan Daxiao. However, this kind of victory has no value for Shi Meng and his soldiers, they are still afraid of the flow like a tiger, and even because of Tan Daxiao, they have doubts about themselves, and gradually derives an idea that "only by following Tan Daxiao can they win the battle".

is also because of this inferiority complex, leaving Tan Daxiao to come here alone to garrison, not only Shi Meng is worried, like sitting on pins and needles, but hundreds of officers and soldiers are also frightened, waiting for Tan Daxiao's recall of the military order. With such a depressed atmosphere, how can you deal with the Tsing Yi Army?

The strength of the Tsing Yi Army is actually not strong, but Shi Meng was unlucky and met Jing Keqin, who was slightly stronger in comparison. He and Jing Keqin were barely able to hold on with their demoralized officers and soldiers, but when Mao Andong and Cui Shuqiang each appeared on his left and right flanks with nearly a thousand troops, Shi Meng and his soldiers inevitably completely collapsed.

In this battle, Jing Keqin was the most involved, to be honest, Mao Andong and Cui Shuqiang's sweat were both out when they ran away, and they didn't expect to show their heads, and the official army collapsed.

"Well, Shi Meng ......" Yang Zhaofeng muttered to himself, "The name is good, but it's a pity that it's a pus!" Of course, people who have fought with Tan Daxiao and Kong Quanbin will not take a clumsy general like Shi Meng in their eyes, "Look at your fat head and big ears, I think I don't scrape the people on weekdays." Yang Zhaofeng didn't know what Shi Meng's conduct was, but his innate disgust drove Yang Zhaofeng to imagine Shi Meng's various bad deeds.

"Hehe, I'm short of a draft spoon, this fat pig has a big head, why don't you pick the scoop, cut it clean and replace it with the Tianling cover temporarily." Cui Shuqiang deliberately scared Shi Meng, and pulled the waist knife out of the scabbard a little as he spoke, causing Shi Meng to scream and beg for mercy.

At this moment, Jing Keqin panted like a cow, walked over with two bloody heads, and directly threw those two heads at Shi Meng's feet: "Nuo, your two brothers, please come and be your companion." Shi Meng was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his thick lips trembled with fear like a sausage in the autumn wind. When Mao Andong and the others saw his frightened strange phenomenon, they couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Zhaofeng didn't have the same interest as them, but seeing that Shi Meng was already frightened, he thought that the time was right, and asked with a straight face: "Let me ask you, why did you come here?" Tell me honestly, there is half a falsehood, don't blame me for waiting, I'll wait for ......"

He had the heart to learn from Cui Shuqiang and them to intimidate Shi Meng a few words, but he was naturally docile and smooth, and he never said that he had learned so many foul words, so when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them, and he actually had a feeling of "hating less when the words are used".
