In the four counties of Jiangxia in the south of the Yangtze River, there were more than 6,000 Shanyue rebels, nearly 2,000 of whom died on the battlefield, and the more than 4,000 Shanyue rebels left behind.

Then select some Jingzhou soldiers' cronies, the elite of the soldiers who participated in the battle, and add them to the military attachés at all levels, so that the Eight Banners banner soldiers reached 10,000 people.

According to the ranking of the eight banners, because the Han Dynasty is still red, the red flag ranks first, and the expansion enjoys preferential treatment, the flag owner is still the Zhou Dynasty, and the flag soldiers are 1,500 flag soldiers, which is the second largest number of banners.

As a banner soldier who dares to die, when the Zhengbai Banner is organized and classified, negative characters such as the brutal, the guilty, and the disobedient are all incorporated here, so the number is the largest, reaching 3,500 people, and the banner owner Cao Ying remains unchanged.

Zhenghuang Banner is Cao's cronies, the most elite and loyal flag, with a number of thousands, Cao Zhen is the flag owner, and also leads 800 yellow flag owners.

The number of each flag has increased several times, except for the red, white, and yellow, the remaining five flags have reached 800 people, so except for Cao Zhen, there is no longer a person who is also the owner of the multi-flag flag.

The owner of the blue flag is still Baolong.

The red flag is inlaid by Liao Hua as the flag owner.

The owner of the white flag is Ma Zhong.

The blue flag owner is the first Shanyue rebel general to take the initiative to surrender, the former rebel Pingchun general, in order to show encouragement, specially promoted to the flag owner, the name is Niu Li.

After a few days of rest, in addition to Chibi, Shaxian, Exian, Pingchun, and Xiapheasant, 5,000 troops remained in each of the five places.

Cao "Xing" led 8,000 regular soldiers, 10,000 eight banners, 5,000 Jiangxia recruits, 5,000 auxiliary soldiers promoted from the cantonment soldiers, 10,000 cantonment soldiers, and then gathered 10,000 water divisions, and more than 20,000 cantonment soldiers in the twelve counties of Jiangxia north of the river.

In the water village on the north bank of Chibi, 70,000 troops spread the entire river beach, accounting for half of the simple bamboo spears and the other half of the spears, spears, and ring-headed knives, and held high at the same time.

The successive victories and the promotion of a large number of personnel made the morale of the army high, as if they were about to roar through the earth, and shouted three times:

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Cao "sex" looked at Liu Ba: "How?" Take advantage of the victory, can you save Ah Weng? ”

For the arrogant Liu Ba, except for Cao's "sex" to maintain basic etiquette, other words either let him not say anything, or he was very direct.

In his opinion, this kind of arrogant person, you are the most competitive and competitive. If you are humble with him, he will think that you are at this level, and it is better to participate in it, compete with him, and defeat him in his proudest aspects in order to completely convince him.

In the face of Cao's provocation, Liu Ba admitted that he was at a loss, and began to change his words for the first time: "General Huanglong's martial arts are over, the southern part of Jiangxia, was captured in three days, and now the morale of the army is high, and he will go north to Xiling to exterminate more than 10,000 Zhao Ci, which is not a problem." ”

"I just got the information, Zhao Ci's generals Chen Ying and Guo Shi have been reorganized into 20,000 laborers, and now Zhao Ci has more than 30,000 corporals, I'm afraid that Ling Zun will change, so I'll wave my army and set off now!" Liu Ba softened, and Cao "sex" said the news related to the friends of the three.

Liu Ba, Liu Xian, and Jiang Wan seemed to have heard something big.

Liu Xian, who has the best personnel and at the same time thinks that he is extremely accurate, was the first to express his disbelief: "Impossible, Chen Ying and Guo Shi were both born in the Shi family, although the family business of the ancestors withered, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Chen family is still the leader of the Guiyang Shi clan, the head of the family is still Guiyang County Cheng, the Guo family is also a Shi family, and the head of the family is the governor of Guiyang County, all of whom are in real power."

The two sons of the scholar family have superb martial arts, how could they join the rebels, or condescend to others and become generals! ”

The careful Jiang Wan thought of Ma Tai, Chen Ying owed Ma Tai a large amount of gambling debts, both of them were righteous people, and it was very likely that they would be used because of this.

Ma Tai and Cao 'sex' are better, and Xiaoyaolou always responds to Cao Jun, Jiang Wan faintly feels that there is something unusual between the two.

Therefore, although he was as surprised as Liu Xian, he remained silent when he was calm.

Liu Ba was anxious to save his father, and he was a little uneasy about Chen and Guo, who were children of a family, but good at knives and guns, and he was not concerned about why the two would defect to Zhao Ci, but worried that the army under Zhao Ci had expanded three times, and whether Xiling could still be held.

Seeing that the two friends were silent, Liu Xian was even more surprised: "Gongyan and Zichu, don't you think it's strange?" ”

The three wise men who were related to the matter talked again, and it was time to "show" the horns, Cao "sex" decisively interrupted the conversation between the three people, and shouted loudly to the army in the audience: "The three armies obey the order!" Let's go! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

The army of 70,000 with an unstoppable momentum, set foot on Xiling, along the way the counties in the hands of the imperial court sent people to reward, the local Cao army returned to the army by itself, the county town occupied by the Shanyue rebels fled, and the Cao "sex" soldiers were bloodless, and took a county occupied by the rebels.

Leaving 5,000 troops to garrison, his cronies acted as the county magistrate and county lieutenant, and then elected the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, the gong cao, and the officials.

The direction of the army remains the same.

Under the city of Xiling, shouting and killing, 10,000 new rebels, under the supervision of the Shanyue rebels, attacked the city wall on all sides, and the county commander Liu Xiang personally commanded at the head of the city, and the Han sword in his hand was full of bloodstains, and it had reached the point where the commander had to "commit suicide" to the enemy.

Another wave of offensive was blocked, Liu Xiang sat down in a pool of blood and panted loudly, inside the city gate, his face was pale, and the obese Jiangxia Taishou ran over: "Liu Xiansi, why did this rebel go crazy all of a sudden, there are their corpses everywhere in this city." ”

Liu Xiang shook his head and asked the Taishou who was hiding in the rear, "Fu Jun, how is the battle situation of the other three city walls?" ”

"The rebels have been repulsed, but our defenders have suffered heavy casualties, and there are less than 3,000 Jiangxia soldiers in the city!" The fat Taishou looked worried, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Liu Xiang clenched the hilt of his sword, gritted his teeth and persisted.

In the rebel camp, after Chen Ying and Guo Shi obtained 20,000 recruits, they immediately threw themselves into the siege of the city and besieged Xiling on all sides.

At the end of each offensive, not only did they not criticize the troops that failed in the siege, but they rewarded them all, and those who performed well were promoted and rewarded, and there was no intention of pursuing responsibility at all.

The two used the stimulation of power and interests to cover up the casualties of their subordinates very well, so that the recruits could maintain their morale and combat effectiveness.

In this regard, Zhao Ci was very satisfied, and the subordinates who talked about the two behind their backs everywhere were cut in front of the hall in public, and completely expressed their trust in the two.

The three actors are in harmony and encouragement.

Cao Jun hurried and came to the territory of Xiling.

Zhao Ci, Chen Ying, and Guo Shi, who found out the news, led the army, gave up Xiling without hesitation, and rushed to Jingling as planned.

Liu Ba left Cao Jun and Liu Xiang, and the father and son reunited.

Cao didn't have time to greet everyone in Jiangxia, and led the army to follow the Shanyue rebels.
