Chapter 449: Westward Expansion

On the first day of April, at noon.

After eating and drinking, Fu Youde, who was the leader of the 1st Division, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Battalion, and 1st Battalion of the Ironclad Army, couldn't help but sit lazily outside the camp tent at this time, enjoying this rare leisure time with the subordinates around him.

"Yo, old man. Today is rare, you kid didn't even go to the school field to practice at this time. Why, didn't you accidentally get injured during training yesterday? When Fu Youde, who was leaning against the camp tent, was about to fall asleep in a daze, Cheng Biao, the second team who lived next to them, raised his voice, but he couldn't help but sweep away the sleepiness that Fu Youde had accumulated at this time.

In this regard, Fu Youde glanced at Cheng Biao, who looked like Zhang Fei in the storyteller's mouth (there are already story texts of the Three Kingdoms in this era, but it is not yet a system), and he couldn't help but say dissatisfiedly: "Old Cheng, I said can you not be so loud." You can be heard two miles away, louder than artillery! ”

"Haha, that's it. Our guys are good men like Zhang Yide. I said, old man. Do you want to make a move on the school field with me, this time, my old Cheng will definitely not lose to you. ”

"Come on, you. You've said that no less than ten times, and that time you beat me. I want to soak up the sun right now, but I'm not in the mood to fight you. ”

"Hey!" Hearing Fu Youde's words, this man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, when I thought that Fu Youde had been easily subdued every time I fought these days, I suddenly lost my temper.

So then he couldn't help but sit next to Fu Youde and said, "Well, then I won't fight today, and it's good to combine work and rest." ”

"Combine work and rest! Hey, yes, your old Cheng is now speaking with a bit of style. ”

"Haha, that's it." If you don't fight, you don't know each other, the current relationship between the two is also a joke. So for Fu Youde's words, Cheng Biao not only did not get angry, but after laughing, he said very complacently: "I, old Cheng, am not a reckless person. I want to become the kind of all-rounder that the king said. ”

"All-rounder! Lao Cheng, say you're fat, you're still panting. Seeing this, Fu Youde couldn't help but joke like this.

As for Fu Youde's jokes, over there, after Cheng Biao laughed, he couldn't help but change his words, and suddenly asked: "Old Fu, when did you say that we would enter Xichuan and fight against those Xichuan Tartars." Living like this every day, it's really itchy to the bones. ”

"Well...... I think it's coming. For Cheng Biao's casual question, Fu Youde thought about it, but gave a serious answer.

"What! Boss, you're serious! Seeing Fu Youde's appearance, Cheng Biao couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Of course." In this regard, Fu Youde nodded, then glanced at Cheng Biao, and said to himself: "Now, there are 30,000 troops stationed inside and outside this Yiling City. On the Yiling side, even if the Yangtze River is passable, the difficulty of supply is far greater than that of Jiangling, Changsand and other places. In this way, it is naturally impossible for us to spend too long in Yiling.

And now that it's summer, the farming is not as busy as it is in spring. A large number of people were also requisitioned to this Yiling City due to labor at this time. Today alone, nearly 3,000 people came at once.

The auxiliary soldiers and civilians are coming soon, and the war is naturally not far away. ”

"Oh, old man. You can do it, you're amazing, it's just the way to go! Haha, okay, the war is about to begin, and the opportunity for meritorious service is finally coming. Cheng Biao shouted happily, and for a while all the people around him looked over.

……

Five days later, on the sixth day of the fourth month of the seventeenth year, early in the morning.

On the top of the main hall of the palace, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Lu Sicheng, who was standing at the head of the ministers in the palace, and changed a posture that made him feel comfortable, and Fang couldn't help but ask: "Lu Qing, have the auxiliary soldiers and people been assembled on the side of Yiling City?" ’

"King Qiyu, 50,000 auxiliary soldiers and people, yesterday, and Yiling City were assembled." When Lu Sicheng heard this, he replied.

"Yes." Seeing this, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhao Ziyu who was standing on the other side.

"King Qiqi, to ask the heavens, tomorrow's troops can be described as good luck!" Zhao Ziyu held the elephant wat in his hand, lined up, and said respectfully.

"Good!" At this time, Zhang Shihua finally praised with satisfaction. Then, with a serious face, he glanced at the ministers in the palace with a pair of tiger eyes, and couldn't help but say majestically: "Pass my edict and Guo Yu, lead the troops tomorrow, and enter Xichuan!" ”

"Yes!" On the main hall, the ministers saluted!

……

On April 10, Xichuan Province, heavy [] Qing Road, Ba County, Xichuan Province Right Prime Minister did not spend that temporary Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the most powerful general under the tent of the finisher, he has never forgotten to maintain and show his demeanor in front of people, but at this time he can't help but look like a frightened poor worm, ignoring the strange eyes of the guards around the prime minister's mansion, and trotting all the way to the front hall where the finisher is sitting at this time.

"Xiangye, it's not good. Hurry back to the state, black-clothed thieves, black-clothed thieves are coming to kill our Xichuan! In a panic, he ran to the house, and when he saw that the person who was sitting there did not spend money, and he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he waved the urgent document in his hand and shouted like this.

"What!" Suddenly, when he heard this, he wanted to scold the bald and unflowered man who looked like he was flustered, and he didn't care about scolding him.

The first time he heard the words of Bald Buhua, the right prime minister of Xichuan Province exclaimed in surprise, he couldn't help but directly snatch the urgent document in Bald Buhua's hand, and then read it at a glance and ten lines.

"Damn it!" After knowing what happened, although the finisher had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but scold like this.

However, after scolding, the finisher controlled his emotions very well, tried his best to pretend to be confident, and said to the bald man in front of him: "The black-clothed thief is menacing this time. Not to mention the total number of soldiers in the war auxiliary, not to mention that the leader is still the puppet general Guo Yu, who has always been good at fighting among the thieves.

In this way, under the onslaught of the black-clothed thieves, it will definitely not be able to last for a long time only by returning to the state. Therefore, you immediately send my military order down now, and order Yang Han, who is closest to the Guizhou Prefecture, to immediately lead his troops to support! ”

"Yang Han! Xiangye, Yang Han's thief, after being protected by Lord Pingzhang Langge, can be said to have become more and more arrogant. In this way, will Yang Han obediently obey orders this time!? ”

"Hmm!" Hearing the words of his subordinate Bald Buhua, a cold light that was difficult to conceal could not help but emerge in the eyes of the finisher.

"Although Pingzhang Langge is a little inconsistent with his true appearance, he is not a complete fool. Once the black-clothed thief enters Xichuan, he Lang Ge will definitely be killed, so he will definitely not dare to make trouble with Ben Jiang at this time.

As for Yang Han. In normal times, looking at the face of the thousands of elites under his command, he is arrogant and domineering, and his true appearance can endure it. But at this time, if he dares to disobey, he will definitely take the life of this thief! ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand. In this way, the subordinates will go to the order now. The bald man hurriedly agreed, and then he couldn't help but run down in three steps and two steps.

And over there, looking at the back of Bald Buhua who left quickly, the finisher stood without spending his hands and clasped his hands. Looking at the sky in the distance, he originally had some hesitant eyes, but he couldn't help but become solid and firm little by little at this time.

……

April 11th, night.

At this time, in the territory of the Propaganda Department of South Xichuan Province, in the city of Yunyang Prefecture, the urgent military order issued by the complete person Buhua himself was finally sent to the desk of Yang Han, the leader of the Xichuan Righteous Army.

"General, this Chu army is strong and strong, and it is famous all over the world. When Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, occupied Huguang, he led only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, but he easily occupied the entire Huguang Province in just one year.

The hundreds of thousands of Mongolian officers and soldiers in Huguang Province all killed one person and turned over on his back. Now, the brother-in-law of the king of Chu, Guo Yu, the first-class brave general in Great Chu, led an army of 100,000 troops to the west. At such a time, do we really have to send troops to support the return state? ”

As a dog-headed military advisor under Yang Han's account, Sun Guosheng really has all the characteristics necessary for a corrupt official. Both: lustful, greedy for money, afraid of death!

So when he saw the military order on the table, Sun Guosheng, who wanted to live his life comfortably, couldn't help but resist in his heart.

However, compared to him, as the nominal leader of the Xichuan Rebellion, Yang Han is undoubtedly a person with certain ability and assertiveness.

Although until now, this general, who is in charge of thousands of soldiers and horses, still does not know a few big characters.

But Yang Han, who was once born in Xichuan mixed rivers and lakes, still has a certain amount of responsibility.

Therefore, after seeing this military order, Yang Han, who was sitting behind the table, frowned and thought for a long time, but he was still determined to send troops to fight the menacing Chu army.

"Labor and management accepted the canonization of others and became their generals. After getting the protection of Lord Lang Ge, he did so much to prepare money and food. So at this time, it is natural to make a contribution to others. ”

Yang Han, who was full of beard, said such a thing to his military advisor righteously after thinking about it for a long time.

But it is a leader of the rebel army like him, who is from the rivers and lakes, and still has the character of a chivalrous man who can't be changed, and he talks about their righteousness in the world.

Therefore, in such a situation, when it came to April 12, Yang Han couldn't help but lead nearly 10,000 headquarters and soldiers and horses under his command, and whined towards the Guizhou side to kill the past.

However, what is quite ironic is that when Yang Han and his group spent more than three days to come to Fengjie City on Kuizhou Road, an absolutely unexpected news came from Guizhou.

……

"What! The three cities of Guizhou had completely fallen the day before yesterday!! At noon on April 16, Yang Han's Chinese army tent commanded nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses ready to support Yang Han, who was returning to the state.

Gourgeons. It's only half of the way, and the mother has fallen when you return to the state, so let's play!

Yang Han, who had a constipation-like tangled expression on his face, scolded with such anger in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but suddenly have an indescribable sense of tension in his heart.

The three cities of Guizhou also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Moreover, those soldiers and horses can be regarded as first-class elite soldiers in Xichuan Province. But now, in less than ten days, it has disappeared like this. If it was to fight against the wolf-like Chu army by himself......

"Whew!" Thinking of this, Yang Han couldn't help but shiver subconsciously in front of all the soldiers under his tent.

"General, what should we do now. Guizhou is now gone, so do we still want to move forward? At this time, the generals under the tent did not care about Yang Han, whose face became a little ugly, but was brought back to his senses by a general's cautious words.

"Support! The return state is gone, and you still support a ghost, looking for death! Coming back to his senses, Niu Ben, a rebel army with nearly a thousand soldiers and horses, under Yang Han's tent, couldn't help but express his opinion to everyone in a roaring way.

The generals present suddenly heard his words, on the one hand, they were shocked by Niu Ben's sudden roar, and at the same time, they couldn't help but Niu Ben, he was right.

After all, their own family knows their own affairs, and with their current combat strength, they can't beat the tens of thousands of soldiers who were defeated in Guizhou, let alone easily crush the Chu army of tens of thousands of soldiers in Guizhou.

When the tiger roar of Niu Ben fell, all the generals who had completely come back to their senses couldn't help but start echoing their Niu Ben's words.

Seeing this, Yang Han, who also came back to his senses completely, naturally announced in accordance with the will of the people: "The Chu army is menacing, and our army cannot be rivaled, so we should temporarily avoid the edge and think about it in the long run." Now, immediately give the order to go down, prepare to turn around, and return to Yunyang in an hour! ”

"The general is wise!" The generals cheered and immediately received the order.

Therefore, it took three and a half days for this support force to arrive from Yunyang Prefecture, and on the next return trip, it only took two and a half days to return to Yunyang Prefecture, and they also prepared ships very efficiently, ready to support Wanzhou City in their west at any time.
