Hong Chengchou looked forward to the stars, looked forward to the moon, thought about it day and night, and finally ushered in his confidant and favorite general, Liu Renyu, deputy chief soldier of Yansui West Road.

On the day when Liu Renyu came to the central county seat, Hong Chengchou took four guerrillas, including Liu Wuguo and Yang Jinrong from Yulin Military Town, and He Renlong, a general of Yulin Military Town, and Zhang Mingzhe, a general of Guyuan Military Town, to greet him.

"Invincible, I haven't seen you for a long time, you were a guerrilla general before, but now I'm going to call you Mr. Liu." Hong Chengchou saw Liu Renyu from a distance, so he smiled and said loudly.

Liu Renyu saw Hong Chengchou from a distance, hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowed to the ground, and said in his mouth: "How dare the labor commander personally greet him!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you and I are old acquaintances in Yansui, and now thanks to the love of the imperial court, this official is the governor of the three sides, and you are also the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui West Road, you and I should work together to exterminate the thieves, and return Shaanxi to a bright and prosperous world." Hong Chengchou smiled and helped Liu Renyu up with both hands.

"Rise up and speak, too."

Hong Chengchou caught a glimpse of the rest of the military attachés of the Jingbian Fort Army still kneeling, so he smiled and motioned for everyone to get up and speak.

"Thank you." All the military attaches at Jingbian Fort thanked in unison.

"Come, it's all your old acquaintance, let's talk first." Hong Chengchou dodged away and let Liu Renyu salute the generals around him.

Liu Wuguo, Yang Jinrong, Zhang Mingzhe and other generals greeted Liu Renyu for a while, but the topic revolved around Liu Renyu's ascension.

Liu Renyu is still so young, but he has been promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, so that the old generals who are nearly half a hundred years old, but are still only guerrillas and generals, feel a little embarrassed, and by the way, it seems that Yang Jinrong, a military general who is not particularly familiar with Liu Renyu, is even a little jealous of Liu Renyu.

However, this kind of jealousy only took root in the deep heart, but it never showed half a point on the faces of these generals, all of whom had a bright smile on their faces, and congratulated Liu Renyu, congratulations and congratulations, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and there seemed to be no mustard.

There are also some generals, such as the fledgling military attachés such as He Renlong, who is guarding the Yulin Association, have great respect for Liu Renyu.

Among these generals, only Liu Wuguo has never been jealous of Liu Renyu, because Liu Renyu is his brother-in-law, a family, and the brother-in-law is out, and there is a natural light on his face as a brother-in-law.

After Liu Renyu and the generals with different minds finished meeting Liu Renyu, Hong Chengchou waved his hand, pointed to his own camp tent and said: "Renyu, settle your subordinates, and then call all the military attaches of your department who are more than 1,000 generals over, and the court's promotion documents, official mansions, official seals, waist cards, and farewell are all here, and the official will give it to you now." ”

"Yes, Commander." When Liu Renyu heard this, his spirits immediately perked up, and the rest of the generals were also you looking at me, and I was looking at you, with surprise written in my eyes.

Although the promotion has been decided a long time ago, and everyone knows about it, but now when the official uniform, big seal, waist card and farewell come, everyone is still very excited.

It didn't take much time to set up camp, and after a while, Liu Renyu took Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Renjie, and other generals to appear in Hong Chengchou's Chinese army tent.

Hong Chengchou saw that all the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army had arrived, so he took out a document, unfolded it, and read it slowly: "The meritorious soldiers of the great victory of the Dalinghe River will be promoted to the following rewards, and Liu Renyu, the guerrilla general of Jingbian Fort, will be promoted to the deputy chief of the Yansui West Road, and will still be stationed in Jingbian Fort, Li Jiye, Zhang Tieniu, Ma Wenshan, Liu Renjie, He Ergou, Chen Danqing, Wang Zuojiao will be promoted to generals, Sun Wuxi, Ke Zhihong, and others will be promoted to guerrilla generals, and the rest of the meritorious soldiers will be promoted to 1,000 generals, generals, 100 generals, and banner generals. ”

The list of meritorious soldiers is too long, there is no need for Hong Chengchou to read them all, he only picked a few important official positions and read them.

After reading this list, Hong Chengchou said to the left and right: "Come on, bring the official uniforms, big seals, waist cards, and Gao Sheng of Liu Zongzhen and other generals." ”

"Yes, Commander." After the people answered, they took the people to fetch the objects.

After a short time, dozens of people walked into the Chinese army's tent with official uniforms, large seals, waist cards and plates.

"Mr. Liu, there are too many generals under your command, so the official will not give them official uniforms, big seals, waist cards and farewell bodies one by one, and you will do it for you. But these of you, who have taken the Lord, will be handed over to you by your own rulers. Hong Chengchou said with a smile

"Thank you." Liu Renyu and other generals thanked them in unison.

"Come, give it to you, take it." Hong Chengchou handed over the various utensils in the tray to Liu Renyu and other generals one by one.

The generals thanked Liu Renyu one after another, and then took the newly arrived official uniforms, looked at them, touched them and touched them, looking intoxicated and overjoyed.

"I hope that you will continue to fight bravely to kill the enemy in the future, make more military achievements, solve problems for the imperial court, share worries for the monarch's father, and win wealth and glory for yourself, and seek an industry for future generations." Hong Chengchou smiled and encouraged.

"Yes, Commander." All the Jingbian Fort generals were moved by the lord, and they all replied loudly.

"Very good, several of them are already generals, so let's discuss here how to deal with the thieves entrenched in the central county." Hong Chengchou said to Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu and other generals.

"Yes, Commander."

Li Jiye and several other generals were very happy when they heard that they could stay in the big tent for a meeting, and their vanity was greatly satisfied, because in the past, their positions were not high, and they were soft-spoken, and they were not qualified to participate in such types of meetings, but now they are generals, but they can hold meetings with Hong Chengchou, what a privilege.

"Renyu, the thieves are not as good as our army in the field, if 20,000 thieves and our army are in the field, the thieves have no power to fight, but it is a pity that they are now cowering in the central county town to defend, half of the field troops that Shaanxi has to use are here, if it is a siege, I am afraid that the soldiers will lose too much, so I can only besiege the central county at the moment, encircle three and lack one, open the net, and wait for the thieves in the city to eat up the food, and when they want to break through, they will fight a decisive battle with them.

However, we don't know how much grain there is in the hands of the thieves now, but our grain is at risk of being eaten up, and it will take some time for the grain transported by the imperial court to arrive. Before the thieves are exterminated, the supply of food in the army cannot be reduced, so the only way now is to break the city here, so that after eliminating the main force of the thieves, the supply of food in the army can be reduced first, and then wait until the food arrives, and then go to the remnants of the gods to fight a decisive battle.

This is the situation now, Renyu, this officer knows that you have always had a good way, do you have a good way to break the city, you can not only break the city, but also reduce the casualties of our army? Hong Chengchou asked Liu Renyu.

When Liu Renyu heard this question, he first smiled slightly, and then replied: "Commander, this matter is not difficult, I think that the central county town is just a traditional city wall filled with rammed earth and covered with bricks and stones, and our army carries cannons, so when the time comes, we only need to line up outside the city wall and bombard the city wall, and naturally we can break the city wall in one fell swoop and kill into the city." ”

"It was only when I heard that your Tiger heavy chariot was showing its might in Liaodong that he decided that you are here, and the day of breaking the city can be expected." Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"Since the commander knows that there are cannons on the chariots under the mark, then without further ado, he will arrange the cannons to bombard the city wall."

Liu Renyu is a man of action, and he will do what he says.
