After being silent for a while, Liu Guoneng said: "Okay! Let's take a gamble with Brother Gao, and win or lose in one fell swoop. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info", "bet. People die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years. Occupy Xi'an, not only the problem of grain and grass will be solved, but also beat Sun and Hong hard, "Scorpion block Tuoyangkun also said loudly.

That night, taking advantage of the darkness, the suspicious array was arranged, and Gao Yingxiang led the army to quietly withdraw from the position and go to the Meridian Valley.

After dawn, the officers and soldiers who confronted the peasant army found that the camp opposite was quiet and no one was entering or leaving, so they reported Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou

After listening to the report, the two carefully observed for a while, suspecting that the rogues had fled, and led their troops over to take a look, and sure enough.

"Send a scout to find out where the rogue is." Hong Chengchou ordered.

Looking at the valley in the distance, Sun Chuanting squinted and thought for a while, and added, "Especially the surrounding hundred miles. You must not let it go, there are tens of thousands of wanderers, and it is impossible not to leave a trace. ”

Two days later, the scouts returned, reporting that they could not find the whereabouts of the rogue.

"Where the hell have these rogues gone?" Sun Chuanting touched his chin with his hand, frowning and thinking......

After a long journey of more than a month, the Volunteer Brigade finally walked from JX to the captain of the HN Brigade, and heard from passers-by that Nanyang was more than ten miles ahead. Cheng Chong sat on the side of the road and rubbed his legs and said.

Looking at the fatigue of the team members, Zhao Guohua said to the trumpeters: "Blow the trumpet and order everyone to rest on the spot." ”

The trumpeter took out his trumpet and blew it vigorously......

In the loud and relaxed sound of military bugles, the volunteer brigade sat on the ground on the side of the road, some told jokes, some drank water, and some took out waist knives to wipe them.

Seeing that Cheng Chong looked thirsty and tired, Zhao Guohua handed over the leather water bag and said with a smile: "People are very adaptable, so we will suffer for a while, and when we go back, we will not be so tired." ”

After taking the water bag and taking a few sips of water, Cheng Chong said: "Captain, you said that we are not official soldiers, why did the imperial court transfer us from JX Ji'an Mansion, thousands of miles away, to this HN to assist in the encirclement and suppression of the Liukou?" Isn't there an official army in HN? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qing and the others all looked at Zhao Guohua and waited for him to speak.

Although he guessed the reason in his heart, Zhao Guohua would not say it, because it would damage morale.

Anger can be blown up but not vented. After looking at everyone, he said: "This shows a problem, that is, our Ji'an Volunteer Brigade has become famous, so the military department will know about us." ”

"Makes sense! Reasonable! Zhang Shun said approvingly, Lu Qing and Liu Youtian didn't speak, just smiled.

Looking at the players sitting on the ground, Zhao Guohua was excited and a little nervous. In later life, he had not experienced war. Now that I have traveled to the Ming Dynasty, I will soon have to take the army I created to compete with famous figures in history...... He did not dare to imagine the consequences of defeat.

At this time, more than a dozen cavalry of the official army galloped from a distance, and Zhao Guohua hurriedly shouted: "All stand up." ”

Hearing the order, everyone immediately stood up and quickly stood in line.

"Huh. Where did this army come from, and it was so quick to assemble it. One of the officers in the cavalry said in astonishment,

One soldier said, "General Yang, let's just go and ask." ”

"That's right." As he spoke, the officer rode his horse and walked over slowly.

Walking not far from the team, the officer surnamed Yang stood in front of the Volunteer Brigade for a while, looking at the neat formation and queue, he was surprised: "This team is not a rogue in costume, but it is not an officer and army, although I don't know how effective it is, but just looking at this formation, standing so neatly, it is much stronger than the vast majority of officers and soldiers, and how can they have so many Lu Mi guns, what kind of team is this?" ”

Thinking of this, he asked aloud, "What are you doing?" What are you doing here? ”

Zhao Guohua was also looking at the officer of this official army, and saw that he opened his mouth to ask about the origin of his team, so he said: "Below is Zhao Guohua, the captain of the JX Ji'an Mansion, who was ordered by the Ministry of War to go from JX Ji'an Mansion to HN to assist in the encirclement and suppression of the Liukou, and I don't know the general's name. ”

"JX Ji'an Prefecture Volunteer Brigade, it sounds like the name is a militia group, no wonder the clothing is not like the official army, this military department is also there, how to transfer the militia over?"

Thinking of this, he said: "Below is Yang Shouguang, the grain and grass supervisor under the command of the Prime Minister of the Five Provinces, Lord Lu, since you have come, you will rest here for the time being, and I will make a decision after I report to the commander." ”

"Okay, then it's going to trouble the general." Zhao Guohua said politely.

Turning the horse's head and just about to leave, remembering that he hadn't seen the transfer order of the military department, Yang Shouguang turned the horse's head again and asked, "Can I take a look at your appointment from this commander?" ”

"No problem." Zhao Guohua said, took out the order and walked to Yang Shouguang's horse and handed it over.

After carefully reading the order of the military department, he returned the order to him, and arched his hand on the horse, Yang Shouguang took more than a dozen cavalry to Nanyang City.

In Nanyang City, Lu Xiangsheng was sitting behind the handsome case of Xingyuan, carefully reading the battle reports of various ministries to plan the next course of action, Yang Tinglin glanced at him a few times, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng raised his head, smiled and asked, "Boxiang?" Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"My lord, yesterday another people came to sue Zu Kuan and Zu Dale's soldiers, saying that they ...... again" Yang Tinglin said here and stopped.

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was angry, slapped the desk with a "snap", and stood up.

The soldiers under these two men were simply a group of bandits, unruly and unruly, and often doing bad things, and if it weren't for their ability to fight, he would have beheaded these two people a long time ago. ”

In the past, most of the officers and soldiers were from Guanzhong, and they were fellow villagers with the thieves, and the two armies faced each other, and the two sides greeted each other, and even threw cattle and baggage, and deliberately let the thieves go, calling it a "live battle." The soldiers under Zu Kuan and Zu Dale are from Liaodong, fierce, straightforward, and do not understand the language of thieves, and they kill thieves when they see them, so they often win battles.

But they relied on their military exploits to be unruly, often burning houses, **** women, and reprimanding many times on the march, without restraint; The general laws could no longer restrain them, and they could not be killed for the sake of war.

After much consideration, Lu Xiangsheng suppressed his anger, sat down, and said with a dark face: "Forget it, try to appease the people, accompany more silver, everything is to fight the war as the top priority, and other things will be said after the war is over, as for these two people, it happens that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, needs it, so send them to the three sides." ”

Yang Tinglin nodded and said, "It can only be dealt with like this." ”

"Dashuai, the last general is back urging food." Yang Shouguang, the grain and grass supervisor, spoke, walked in and bowed to give orders.

Glancing at him, Lu Xiangsheng said, "I've worked hard for you, go down and rest." ”

Yang Shouguang promised to turn around and leave, and after taking a few steps, he remembered the matter of the Ji'an Volunteer Corps, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was serious about his work, and if he didn't report it, he was afraid that he would blame him in the future.

So he turned back and said: "Marshal, when the last general came back, he met a militia called the Volunteer Brigade from JX Ji'an Mansion, it is said that he was ordered by the Ministry of War to come to HN to assist the officers and soldiers in encircling and suppressing the Liukou, I don't know how to arrange them?" ”

"Oh? How many people are there? Lu Xiangsheng asked casually.

Yang Shouguang said: "There are five or six thousand people. ”

After thinking about it, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Let's go, you take me to see if this militia can be used, if it can't be used, let them go back, and don't spoil my affairs." ”

"Okay, the last general will take the big handsome there." Yang Shouguang bowed and said.

After instructing the Zhongjun in Xingyuan, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin rode on their horses, surrounded by Yang Shouguang and a hundred and ten personal soldiers, and headed out of the city.

It didn't take long to see militia soldiers in black and blue clothes in the distance, sitting neatly on the ground.

"The militia is the militia, how can it be of great use if it is so scattered" Lu Xiangsheng looked at those team members and muttered to himself.

Seeing the team of people and horses galloping in the distance, Zhao Guohua knew that there might be a senior official coming, so he shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, all stand up, and stand according to the squadron." ”

Didi Da Da ...... Didi Da Da ......

With the sound of the trumpet, the team members stood up with a "whoosh", and quickly and neatly stood up in line, the musketeers carrying the muskets on their shoulders, and the pikemen holding the spears in their hands, their eyes level, staring at the elite officers and soldiers of the 100 people who were gradually approaching.

"Who's coming?" The two officers on duty said as they walked over to block the road.

Yang Shouguang rode forward and said loudly: "You guys go quickly, Lu Dashuai, the military minister of the six provinces of the prime minister, has come to inspect the volunteer brigade in person." ”

The two officers on duty heard this and hurriedly ran over to report Zhao Guohua.

Hearing that Lu Xiangsheng was here, Zhao Guohua was also a little nervous in his heart: "This Lu Xiangsheng's position is equivalent to the vice chairman of the Military Commission in later generations, seeing this kind of big person, not nervous, it's a little impossible, but then I think about it, no matter how big his Lu Xiangsheng is, he is also a person from three hundred years ago, and he just needs to treat him as a character in a costume drama." ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked over and said, "Zhao Guohua, the captain of the Volunteer Brigade, and all the soldiers of the Volunteer Brigade, welcome to the review of Marshal Lu." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng took a closer look at Zhao Guohua, and saw that he was slender, elegant, and had a respectful and unflattering smile on his face, so he couldn't help but have a good impression of him, smiled and nodded, rolled sideways and got off the horse.

Coming to the front of the team and glancing at the neat line, Zhao Guohua shouted: "Take a break!" ”

With a "bang", thousands of people stepped out of their right feet neatly.

This scene stunned Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Shouguang and more than 100 pro-soldiers.
