The small island where Tianci landed after returning from the Far East is now home to warships. The warships converted by the Cui family's merchant ships were all equipped with ballistas, and a group of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army boarded the ship one after another with equipment, Zhang Deyi and Guan Changyun led Hei Shuiliang and Duan Xiaosi to stand at the bow of the ship and watch the soldiers.

"Deyi, this time we are going to make a break and re-erect the battle flag of our Longxiang Left Guard. As the vanguard of the army, you must advance bravely and give me your back. ”

"Don't worry, Lao Guan, this time we must capture Surhu alive, avenge General Tuoba, and make a name for the commander."

"Yes, our Flying Tiger Army will not fight, and it will be successful in one battle. Little four, the artillery army will be handed over to you, and when the time comes, you will smash me hard, and you are not allowed to be soft. ”

"Changshi, don't worry, whoever is soft at that time will be your brother-in-law."

Hahahaha, Zhang Deyi cracked his mouth and laughed very obscenely. Guan Changyun kicked Duan Xiaosi, what kind of apprentice did this master teach, Duan Xiaosi learned Ma Qimeng's style very well.

"Heishui Liang, this time you have 3,000 cavalry from the Heishui Department participating in the battle, you must obey the command of the German wing, do you know?"

"Long history, we are all soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army now, and if there is any tough battle, even if we are ordered, we will not have a bad seed in the Black Water Department."

"Okay, when the time comes, the brothers will work together to conquer Jingyuan's great achievement, and our brother will have a few bags, hahahaha."

Guan Changyun looked at the undulating sea, and his heart was full of pride. He has been looking forward to this battle for a long time, Niu Tianci handed over this most dangerous and critical task to Guan Changyun, what a great trust, this battle must be won and won a big victory, it would be better if he could capture Su Erhu alive.

The defense line of the Meilin Chu River was silent, but if anyone approached the trenches, they would find that many soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army were silently pushing field guns up to the gun positions and quickly concealing them. The Flying Tiger Army's large battalion looked no different from the past. But the tent was brightly lit.

Niu Tianci stood in front of the map and was laying out their respective attack directions and tasks to the generals. According to the time calculation, the ballistas and thunderbolts should have been sent to the Dongrong artillery corps. In the past few days, the artillery of the Flying Tiger Army has been shelling the north bank incessantly, and as of yesterday, the Dongrong artillery army on the north bank has not fired a single thunderbolt, and it seems that their ammunition reserves have been reduced to the lowest level, otherwise they would not have allowed the artillery of the Flying Tiger Army to rage without returning fire. Wait until the batch of ammunition that God sent them arrives. That's when the Flying Tigers attacked.

Not long ago, the Ministry of War sent a letter urging the Flying Tiger Army to cross the river to regain the lost territory, and Emperor Suzheng and the crown prince also sent letters to ask about it. Niu Tianci told the Ministry of War, Emperor Suzheng and the crown prince that it was not the time to cross the river and fight at the earliest, and that it would not be until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest.

Emperor Suzheng and the crown prince didn't say anything about this, but there was a wave of impeachment among the ministers of the court and the central government for supporting the army and respecting himself, only wanting to preserve his strength and not wanting to forge ahead. Niu Tianci was not worried about this at all. Because from this point, it can be seen that Dongrong's black hand hidden in Dayan definitely has great strength. Tianci's special fold secret music was sent to the prince's hands, and the secret music explained the process and practice of Tianci's personal adventure to Dongrong to investigate, and Tianci repeatedly instructed the prince Long Xingrong to know that this matter could only be known to Emperor Suzheng, and others were not allowed to divulge half a word.

After Long Xingrong handed over this secret letter to Emperor Su Zheng, Emperor Su Zheng issued a secret decree authorizing Niu Tianci to act arbitrarily. If necessary, the rights of the Northern Corps may be mobilized.

That night, Emperor Suzheng and Long Xingrong were all drunk, and waited until the next day after going to court. In the face of the surging impeachment of Niu Tianci in the court, Emperor Su Zheng slapped the table and was about to issue an order urging Niu Tianci to quickly regain the lost territory. However, Huangpu Song and others said a lot of good things for Niu Tianci, they said that the Flying Tiger Army had just been established and experienced a great war, and it was the time to recuperate and recover. It is better to wait until the beginning of spring next year to fight again. Li Ke also spoke for Niu Tianci at this time, what he meant was that it would not be too late to send troops after the spring ploughing next year, so that it would neither delay the spring ploughing nor the recovery of the lost territory, as for the problem of the Flying Tiger Army's troop resources. It can be transferred by Jizhou, Youliaozhou and Liaodong Prefecture troops first, and the Liaozhou Navy Division cooperates to blockade the Far East sea.

Emperor Su Zheng agreed to the suggestions of the ministers and ordered Niu Tianci to start a war with Dongrong after spring ploughing next year, and to recover the lost territory in one fell swoop, which also calmed the wave of impeachment of Niu Tianci. Although this decree was not explicitly issued, the ministers involved in the deliberations all knew that the time for the battle to recover the lost territories in the Far East would be after the spring ploughing next year. It didn't take long for this news to be known by Su Erhu, who laughed and said: "After spring ploughing next year, I'm afraid that Dongrong's iron cavalry will have already hit Wenduer Mountain by then." ”

As a result, Dongrong set the time for the attack on the Far East in the autumn, that is, about a month later than the time when Tianci was preparing to attack. It should be said that during this period of time, no one in Dongrong and the Flying Tiger Army was idle, and the Far East Ordnance Factory of the Flying Tiger Army worked overtime to produce mortars and field guns, as well as a large number of arrows. Gao Zan in Zhenbei City also desperately sent material resources to the Flying Tiger Army, and Gao Zan even intercepted the materials of the Northern Army, but this time Ling Wuwu did not settle accounts with him, not only that, but also secretly added a lot of materials to the Flying Tiger Army.

On the other hand, looking at Dongrong's preparations, Su Erhu is now a powerful soldier who is constantly increasing troops on the defensive line, and now he has something to rely on in his heart, and the Cui family's merchant ships continue to transport ballistas and thunderbolts, and in just a few days, it has exceeded the sum of the past ten years. Su Erhu happily gave a lot of gold and silver to the Cui family, and also sent someone to choose a place with excellent scenery in Hailizi to prepare to build a mansion, which seemed to be built in accordance with the rules of the prince, Su Erhu declared that this was a dowry for the princess of Dongrong. Now in Dongrong, the people of the Cui family can basically walk sideways. The Cui family's warehouse is getting bigger and bigger, and after the warehouse of the Great Khan City is full, it has become the most important material storage place in Dongrong, and 10,000 golden wolf guards are stationed here.

In short, both sides are secretly actively preparing for each other's death, both wanting to fight each other to death. Although no one in the Great Yan Dynasty has impeached Niu Tianci anymore, somehow, a wave of remarks came out from the people. said that Niu Tianci is the reincarnation of Yan Wushuang, and said that as long as Niu Tianci is here, the north of Dayan will be safe and sound, and also said that now Dongrong sees the Flying Tiger Army, and when he sees Niu Tianci, his legs are weak, and Niu Tianci is the second Yan Wushuang of Dayan, etc.

What's more, I don't know who has sung a ballad widely among the people, and the content of the ballad is like this: "Niu Hou Wei Zhen Mei Linchu, Rong Lu regards him as a tiger." There are 300 military states in Dayan, which is not as good as one house in Cangshan. ”

This ballad was widely sung, and it did make some generals unconvinced, and when it reached the ears of Emperor Su Zheng, Emperor Su Zheng smiled noncommittally, but privately ordered Snow Wolf Wei to thoroughly investigate the source of the ballad. The Snow Wolf Guard's action has not yet begun, but there are murders in various places from time to time, each of which is the destruction of the whole family, and whenever the Snow Wolf Guard arrives, all they face is dead bodies all over the ground.

Gradually, no one dared to sing this ballad anymore, and after that, the murder never happened again. After receiving these secret reports, Emperor Suzheng frowned, Niu Tianci's secret recital said that Dongrong would spread rumors and ask for the opportunity to eradicate the Dongrong spies hidden in Dayan, but which aspect did those who killed people belong to, did they help the royal family or help the spies? Emperor Su Zheng was most reluctant to see that these mysterious people were helping Niu Tianci, he didn't want to just settle Yan Chengyu and come out with Niu Chengyu or something. Emperor Su Zheng walked around the study, and finally said in a low voice: "After this battle, I will transfer you back." Transferred to the Heavenly Wolf Capital Protectorate first, you have risen too fast, and your ability is too great, so you need to grind it again. ”

Li Ke was very bad when he returned to his mansion, and he said to Sikong Fu: "Your Majesty is suspicious, it must be sent by Niu Tianci with a secret performance." Let's leave the affairs of the Far East alone for the time being, and concentrate on our own affairs. ”

"The time is ripe, the local newspaper has been suppressed a lot, and the people have long been complaining, and it is the right time to launch it. I'll arrange it and start in three days. ”

"Let's start, I've been waiting too long, let's get started."

There are still many people who are as worried as Li Ke, and in a study room of Liulin Academy in Youzhou, Zhou Ruhai and Ximen Qing are sitting opposite each other and playing chess.

"Simon, it's time to begin."

"Mountain chief, it's almost time, I'm not going to sleep tonight."

"Hehe, the old man slept too much, so I'll stay with you."

In a mansion in Liaozhou City, Zhou Xiaoxian's face was full of seriousness, and he said to the man in black who knelt on the ground in the house: "This operation has gained a lot, but it is really the biggest regret that the mastermind has not been found." However, no matter how well the fox hides, there will be a time when the horse's feet will be exposed, this time their losses are huge, and we know that their highest leader is called the wolf master, this is the biggest gain, follow this line to check, no matter how much it costs, this wolf master must be found out, if you can't live, you have to die. ”

"Subordinates obey."

"Has the clan of the son of the Liaodong Prefecture Army been carefully investigated? If it is difficult, then start directly, this operation is codenamed Wolf, you must be careful and start acting. ”

An hour later, Zhou Xiaoxian visited Yang Ligong, the governor of Liaozhou, and the two had a very happy conversation, but no one knew the content of the conversation.

Niu Tianci said to the generals of the Far East Flying Tiger Army: "The fleet has set off, and it will arrive at Hailizi in another day, and our army will attack tomorrow morning, recover the Far East, and destroy Dongrong in this battle." Flying Tiger Army, Wan Sheng! ”

"Regain the Far East and destroy Dongrong. Flying Tiger Army, Wan Sheng! (To be continued.) )
