As soon as Chang Zhenbang entered the Fengyang garrison, he did not return to the Wenxian garrison regiment, but disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and went back to Qian Defa's camp directly, and seconded a battalion of troops from Qian Defa, Wang Tianzhen, and Li Zhizhong. Regardless of the official position, they all rewarded peanuts and rice, and went underground to be accompanied by Liu Shaohua, the yellow spot.

After the Yellow Dot, Chang Zhenbang simply completely disrupted the establishment of the three battalions under his command, let the old men of the garrison completely blend into the garrison, and gave some vacant important positions to the old men of the garrison, this kind of cronyism set off a big wave in the team, I didn't expect Chang Zhenbang to be this kind of person, disappointed emotions aroused dissatisfaction among the majority of soldiers, but this dissatisfaction in the shadow of the Yellow Dot Rebellion seems to be extremely dry.

After Chang Zhenbang's vigorous rectification, this Wenxian army completely became a tool for Chang Zhenbang to do evil at the cost of sacrificing military morale.

After a day or two of repairs in Fengyang, the army continued to move south, and finally arrived in Jiujiang, Jiangxi on the evening of the 20th, and was warmly welcomed by the new Jiujiang town guard Li Chun out of the city for thirty miles, don't look at Li Chun is just a town guard, but the discerning people know that this kid is a natural governor of Jiangxi after pacifying Li Liejun, so everyone dare not underestimate it, at the welcome banquet, Li Chun first praised Zhou Defa for governing the army Fang Yunyun, and then said: "The Gan bandit Li Liejun has a heavy army in Xingang, and the trouble is not small. Brother Zhou's soldiers can capture Xingang in one fell swoop, this is not a small achievement! ”

Zhou Defa hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer, the Central China Army is far worse than the Beiyang Army in terms of preparation and personnel training, Xingang is nothing in the eyes of the Beiyang Army, but it is not easy for the Central China Army.

A lean young man poked his head out from behind Li Chun and said, "If your army is incompetent, I still look at the Beiyang Army!" ”

"This kid is Wenhe, Li Chun's godson, and he is not a good stubble!" Tang Baichuan whispered quietly to Chang Zhenbang. After speaking, he raised his arm and pushed Chang Zhenbang out. Chang Zhenbang didn't expect him to push himself, and suddenly hit Wen He's arms, Wen He sighed, not only fell but also knocked the wine glass in the waiter's hand.

"Who is this kid?" Li Chun pulled up the embarrassed Wen He and glared at Chang Zhenbang and said.

Zhou Defa was only bitter in his heart, he really hated Chang Zhenbang to death, if his eyes could kill, Chang Zhenbang would probably have been cut by him with a thousand knives.

Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly and said: "Chang Zhenbang, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Third Brigade of the First Bandit Army in Central China, has seen Master Li Chun Li!" ”

Li Chun looked Chang Zhenbang up and down, and said with a slight smile: "Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, who said that the Central China Army is not good?" I think this Chang Zhenbang Chang is good! Not far from Xingang, there is a Gan bandit army of Li Liejun's regiment stationed in Shahe Town, what's the matter, I'll leave this matter to you! ”

"Thank you for your compliment! Humble duty must be loyal to the country and live up to the expectations of adults! Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "But please allow me to retire!" ”

Wen He poked his head out behind Li Chun and said with a smile: "Brother Chang can go, but don't be a deserter, the military law of our Li Zhen envoy is very strict!" ”

"Humph!" Chang Zhenbang snorted coldly and said: "No matter how strict the military law of Envoy Li Zhen, is there still a fish like Brother Wen who has been caught in the net?" ”

"You ......," Wen He said angrily.

Li Chun said: "Wen He is enough, how can Lord Chang say that he is also a guest, how can he be so rude to a guest?" He turned to Chang Zhenbang and said, "If Brother Chang is tired, you might as well go and rest first, but I'm waiting for you to conquer the good news of Shahe Town!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said goodbye, turned around and left.

Zhou Defa glared at him, smiled bitterly and said to Li Chun: "Don't blame me, adult! After I go back next time, I will definitely teach such a rebellious person a lesson, and please don't be surprised! ”

Li Chun said disapprerovingly: "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about?" There are no thorns in that army? If this elder brother Chang can take Shahe Town, it will also be a great achievement, if he can't take his own military law! Why do you deal with Brother Lao Zhou? ”

After some fluctuations, of course, the banquet had to continue happily and easily, but it was those generals of the Beiyang Army who were happy, but it was those Central China generals who were not easy. This Jiangxi is the chassis of the Gan bandit Li Liejun, but why do they always feel inferior in front of the Beiyang Army. Especially those company commanders and platoon commanders at the grassroots level in Beiyang are more magical than the regiment commanders and brigade commanders on their side, I really don't understand, what's going on!

Chang Zhenbang went out of the banquet, came to the barracks, and after a little talk about what was at the banquet, he immediately mobilized all the men and horses of the entire Wenxian Regiment, which is now the Second Regiment of the Third Brigade of the First Bandit Army, and went straight to Xingang.

Most of the soldiers and horses of the entire regiment didn't know what was going on, but the military order was like a mountain or followed Chang Zhenbang all the way without hesitation, it is said that Li Liejun set off a big rebellion in the whole Jiangxi, but what he saw and heard along the way was no different from usual, the rapid march walked for nearly a night, knowing that he barely found a dense forest in the early morning to bury a pot to cook, and took a little rest, it was a coincidence that he met a few small people who came out to walk relatives on the road outside the dense forest where Chang Zhenbang was stationed, When these ordinary people were caught by Chang Zhenbang's people into the big tent, and saw that this was the relevant banner of the imperial court, they began to enthusiastically guide them, not only said in detail how to walk the avenue, but also said in detail that the path is safer and faster, such hospitality really made Chang Zhenbang excited, Chang Zhenbang rewarded the people with fifty oceans for their achievements.

As soon as Chang Zhenbang sent away the enthusiastic people, Chang Zhenbang called Zhang Youneng back and said, "Brother, you have followed the ordinary people who showed the way, and you will arrive later!" ”

Zhang Youneng said: "Cousin, I came back from Wenxian just now, so you use your brother like this!" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled in his ear and said: "If you conquer Shahe Town, you will reap the credit!" How about Lao Tzu letting you be a battalion commander! ”

As soon as Zhang Youneng heard this, he immediately nodded again and again, and said, "Cousin, don't worry, my brother will go to the soup for you." After speaking, he turned over the horse's head and chased after the people, but Chang Zhenbang grabbed him and said, "You take off this skin on your body and change into a set of fleeing clothes." "Understood, cousin, you see!" As he spoke, he took off his clothes, changed into the torn robe he was wearing at home, and smeared a handful of black on his face, until he became like a fleeing refugee in front of everyone, Chang Zhenbang let him go.

Zhang Youhua walked over and said carefully, "Cousin, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "The people here in Jiangxi are mostly bewitched by Sun Monkey, and they have been treated by Li Liejun as a base camp for rebellion for many years. This person is so enthusiastic that it does not match the factory! Besides, even if the army on the ground in Central China captured the people and asked for directions, they would ask what to say, and they would not even move and be coarse, and they would not say anything, but that person seemed to see through our intentions at a glance, and not only said the avenue, but also said the path in detail, for fear that we could win by surprise. This guide must be a rebel! ”

Zhang Youhua thought about it, and sure enough, it was what his cousin said, a few years ago, a Shaoxing master in the county government visited Master Chang with a famous post, and accidentally took the wrong road, so he beat Lao Zhao in the cultivated village without saying a word, and then let him catch and lead the way. Just when he was thinking about this, Chang Zhenbang suddenly shouted, "Zhao Laosi listens to the order!" ”

Zhao Laosi hurriedly jumped off the horse, ran to Chang Zhenbang, and said, "Please command!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "You take the supervision team to cooperate with Zhang Youneng to arrest Sun Monkey and rebel against the party!" ”

Zhao Laosi immediately waved his hand behind him and took out his carefully selected team of supervisors.

Chang Zhenbang turned his horse's head and shouted: "All the brothers listen to my orders, let's go straight to Huanglong from the avenue and take Shahe Town!" With that, he rushed over first, and Hua Zhongtian and the others had no choice but to follow him.

The road is also flat towards the sky, although the two armies fought, but did not suffer much damage, there are still people cultivating in the rice fields on both sides, but these people are also bold, but when they saw Chang Zhenbang's team, they immediately hid, Chang Zhenbang called Huazhong Tiandao: "Lao Hua, you send people to cruise on both sides of the strait, as long as there are people, I will be killed!" ”

Hua Zhongtian was stunned for a moment when he received this order, but then grabbed Chang Zhenbang's bridle and said: "It is a bad omen for adults to kill innocents indiscriminately!" ”

Chang Zhenbang asked rhetorically: "Lao Hua, let me ask you, what would happen if you were a flat-headed common man in a place where the two armies were fighting?" ”

Hua Zhongtian didn't think about it and said: "I'm afraid that I would have fled to the arranged place a long time ago!" After all, if you stay in Qingshan, you don't have to worry about no firewood, as long as you are alive, everything is fine. ”

Chang Zhenbang pointed to the farmers who had escaped and said: "Now is not the day of harvest, is there gold or silver in this day, and what is it that makes these people sacrifice their lives, not spies?" With that, he took out his pistol and pointed it at the farmer who had fled furthest, pulled the trigger, and with a loud bang took the man's life. Seeing the farmer fall, Chang Zhenbang sighed and said, "You'd better not learn from me, it's so loud that it hurts the harmony of heaven and earth, go!" ”

Huazhongtian was in a cold sweat, and immediately sent two companies of sergeants to march quickly along both sides of the avenue, but some people were killed regardless of the old and young, regardless of the noble or low, and screamed and practiced for a while, and the gunshots continued, Chang Zhenbang took the opportunity to quickly march and arrive at Shahe Town in one fell swoop, the geographical location of Shahe Town is critical, military engineering is strictly prohibited, there are roadblocks in front, there are barracks in the back, layers of protection, like iron barrels, according to the gossip sent by Tang Baichuan, there is a regiment of the Gan bandit army stationed here, guarded by the Ganxi warrior Lin Hu, this person is from a regular martial arts hall, is a real rebel cow, by no means comparable to those empty talk scholars, but also not to be underestimated.

Although Chang Zhenbang marched all the way, but after handing it to the vicinity of Shahe Town, he did not move, and personally followed with a few scouts, and reconnoitred the defense system of Shahe Town from the binoculars. Even worse, the army in his hands was formed by the expansion of the garrison, and there was no siege artillery, only rifle Mauser. If you rush forward hard, it will definitely hit the stone with an egg, of course, if you have enough troops to send the opponent's head, you can also break the stone, but Chang Zhenbang does not have many troops in his hands, and he is already less than a regiment when he is full. Zhang Youhua leaned on Chang Zhenbang's side and said: "Cousin, it seems that this is a hard bone, relying on the strength of the brothers is really a bit hanging!" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and threw the binoculars to Zhang Youhua, and said: "So if you want to fight this battle, you can only outwit it, not fight hard!" Besides, although this small Shahe Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can it block my Chang Zhenbang's road. ”

Zhang Youhua said: "Cousin, you are new to the city, and you don't have extra troops in your hands, I'm afraid it's not easy to outwit it!" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the team in the hands of Zhang Youneng and Zhao Laosi?" ”

"Youneng? Overseer? Is that okay with the little people? Zhang Youhua asked with some doubts, thinking about it, with the supervision team in the hands of Zhao Laosi, Chang Zhenbang is just the strength of a regiment, and it will not help at all. Just when he was puzzled, suddenly a cannon sound came to mind behind Shahe Town, and then the large group of men and horses moved away from Shahe Town, moving quickly towards the rear of Shahe Town.

"It's ......"

Chang Zhenbang snatched the binoculars in Zhang Youhua's hand and watched the other party's army gradually move away, his face couldn't help showing excitement and joy, and said: "Youneng has made a great contribution today!" Go back and tell the brothers to attack quickly, just now we hit the stone with an egg, and now Lao Tzu is looking at the destruction of the withered and decayed, who dares to stop me? As he spoke, he turned around and returned to the camp, and was just about to mobilize the army to rush away, but who knew that Hua Zhongtian and others came together, telling the suffering of the army rushing overnight, and even threatened that if he didn't repair again, he was afraid that the camp would mutiny.

Chang Zhenbang roared: "Don't you know the current situation? Only if we capture Shahe Town, it is the best choice to camp in Shahe Town! Otherwise, we will be strangled by Lin Hu's rebels! ”

Hua Zhongtian said with a wry smile: "What the adults said is right, but the brothers are originally from the defenders, and they are not good at field warfare, and they are really difficult after such a long journey!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Ninety-nine eighty-one is over, and it's almost this trembling, why can't you hold on?" ”

Hua Zhongtian smiled bitterly: "The brothers are so tired, even if they say that they will come to the next day, it will not work." ”

Zhang Youhua urged with a sad face: "Cousin, if you start to think about it, you will be finished!" ”
