Chapter 4: The Great Victory

Zhang Cheng and his entourage, who had just won the victory, wore the clothes of the Gyeongju Army, escorted the military rations of the Gyeongju Army, and came to Ganyang City.

With the soft bone Gyeongju military captain, he came to the city, Zhang Cheng signaled, and the captain shouted under the city: "Open the city gate!" Lao Tzu is sending food! ”

"Yo! It's Hu Duwei! is so angry, is it a bet with your brothers and loses again! Hehe! The defenders of the city made a joke.

"Less! Open the gates! Hu Duwei shouted.

"Gotcha! I can't afford to mess with it! Brothers, open the gates! Under the cover of night, the guard faintly saw that the people behind him were wearing their military uniforms, and without thinking much, he opened the city gate.

You can enter the city gate, but it will be too late for the gate guards to find out! A thousand Jizhou warriors have entered the city.

"It's the Jizhou Army! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The guard shouted!

"Brothers, do it!" A thousand brothers against the enemy army of 100 people, and easily wiped out all the enemy troops!

After cleaning up this enemy army, Zhang Cheng ordered: "Ignite!" Send a signal to the Overseer! Guo Cheng took the order and left.

"Hohan! Hohan! Oh no! ”

Huo Han, who had just fallen asleep, heard Yang Qiong's urgent voice outside the door, he hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, rushed out with a knife, and shouted at Yang Qiong: "What's wrong?" Is there any change in the enemy's forces? ”

"It's not! You see! Yang Qiong gasped and pointed to Gan Yangcheng and said.

I saw that the smoke was billowing in Ganyang City at this moment, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

"It's Zhang Cheng!" Huo Han exclaimed! He didn't expect that the signal that had been eaten for three or four days in advance finally appeared!

Yang Qiong also said excitedly: "Yes! Waited four days! They're finally showing up! Huohan, give the order! ”

"Command the whole army, assemble at once! Also, report to the general and ask him for reinforcements! Huo Han said decisively!

After a cup of tea, the brothers of the First Military Town had already gathered, and Huo Han sat on his war horse and waved the war knife in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, in front of you is Ganyang Dao!" It is the place where countless Jizhou brothers and loyal souls are buried, it is the Gyeongju army, and it is the straight lady thief in Ganyang Road, kill them! Now, you tell me, what should we do? ”

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”

"That's right! Avenge! Avenge the dead brothers! You have also seen that the city of Ganyang Dao is in flames at the moment, and it is Zhang Cheng with a thousand warriors, climbing over Gannan Mountain, risking his life to do internal response for us in the city! The general has also gathered all his troops and horses! Tonight is the moment of the decisive battle between our Jizhou Zezhou Army and the enemy! The whole army obeys the order! Rush to the city, kill the Gyeongju army, and capture Yin Tianba alive! Kill! Huo Han swung his sword forward and roared!

"Kill!" More than 10,000 soldiers shouted together and rushed desperately to Ganyang City!

In Ganyangdao City, Zhang Cheng and others, who had just rushed to Beicheng, encountered resistance, and a battalion of Gyeongju troops rushed over to block Zhang Cheng and others!

The two sides are fighting! The iron pillar took the lead, a wooden stick was like a meat grinder, desperately venting his long-standing anger, at this moment he opened and closed, regardless of the desperate rush to kill, bombarding and smashing!

And Guo Cheng and others in the back are even more desperate! One by one, the daring men who had just walked around the ghost gate were fighting to the death against the enemy army without fear of death!

Yin Tianba stood at the head of the city, and he saw that the Jizhou army attacked the city head with the most crazy offensive method. Behind him, he could faintly hear the sound of fighting in the city. He knew that he had fallen into the predicament of internal and external attacks, dead! He didn't know where the soldiers and horses in the city came from, but he didn't have a chance to figure it out, because the Jizhou army had rushed to the city, his three commanders were fighting, and his five thousand remnants were making the final dying struggle!

He waved the war knife in his hand, slashed and killed a Jizhou army who had just climbed to the top of the city, and rushed to the other side to continue fighting!

Time passed minute by minute, the Jizhou army's offensive became more and more fierce, more and more Jizhou troops climbed to the top of the city, seeing more and more Jizhou troops behind, and the Zezhou army was desperately rushing to the city, Yin Tianba, who was already covered with blood at this moment, knew that the general trend had gone. Gan Yang Dao is over!

But he didn't give up, he raised the sword in his hand high, and kept slashing and killing the Jizhou army that rushed to the city.

The Eastern Front was lost, and Long Yue died at the head of the city!

In a moment, the Western Front was also lost, and Pei Rong was killed!

The middle line was defeated, the governor of the fourth army town surrendered, Yin Tianba was surrounded by regiments, and rushed to the Jizhou army that surrounded him with a roar!

Countless swords stabbed into Yin Tianba's abdomen, this fierce general with 30,000 soldiers and horses, dragged the Jizhou army for 25 days, killed more than 70,000 enemy troops in Jizhou, and died in the city of Ganyangdao!

Ganyang Dao won a big victory, Zhao Hui stood on top of the city, and next to him stood Xu Shipeng and Huo Han, who was covered in blood! There are also Yang Qiong, Han Jian, Zhang Cheng and the commanders who participated in the war this time.

Zhao Hui sighed in his heart, and then Zhao Hui continued to wave his army south with the victorious army, and the 130,000 army directly attacked the Gyeongju army camp ten miles away from Ganyang Road!

Nie Kairui, the general of the Gyeongju Army, who did not get the news of Yin Tianba's death and the loss of Ganyangdao, was defeated, 50,000 troops were defeated, more than 30,000 were killed, more than 10,000 were captured, and Nie Kairui fled to Runzhou with more than 3,000 remnants!

Subsequently, the army of Zezhou in Jizhou continued to move south, and it can be said that it was invincible all the way, and the counties and counties of Gyeongju along the way were almost in despair.

Two months later, the Zhao family's army occupied Linshui County, on the border between Gyeongju and Runju!

After the war, Zhao Hui rewarded the meritorious people one by one, and Huo Han really became the general of the Gyeongju army, although he now has less than 5,000 people under his command! As for the other generals, they were also rewarded accordingly according to their military merits, and Zhang Cheng also got a third-grade virtual title from General Yunlu by the way.

Zhang Cheng said goodbye to Zhao Hui and wanted to continue south! Huo Han, Guo Cheng and others saw him off. Of course, there are also the 3,000 soldiers of his newly collected Jizhou Division! They were the wounded soldiers who were not wanted by others during the entire southern expedition. From the wounded soldiers in Gyeongju in the first war, to the wounded soldiers who kept appearing along the way, these remnants of the defeated generals who others thought had lost their combat effectiveness and were unwilling to ask for any more, were all gathered together by Zhang Cheng to form a new division! Zhang Cheng also gave them a new title: Flying Tiger Division!

waved goodbye to Huo Han and other generals, and in the end, there was still the Flying Tiger Division!

"General, take us away! We'd love to follow you back to Northland! Wherever the general is, we will follow you! "Adjutant Sedum has seen through the weakness of people in this army, and he wants to leave with Zhang Cheng! The other brothers also came forward to plead.

"General, you either take us away or you kill us!" A soldier with a broken hand stepped forward, and he threw down his sword, a little discouraged.

"You pick it up for me!" Zhang Cheng said lightly, although his voice was very soft, but the words were full of undoubtedness!

The soldier smuttered and picked up his sword from the ground. He said: "General, this team was brought out by you!" Our lives were also saved by you, and our 3,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 loyal souls are loyal to you! Without you, where would we have the strength to kill the enemy again? Without you, Flying Tiger Master, is there still a need to exist? ”

Sedum and the others all nodded blatantly!

"Shut up! Do you think that you are fighting and killing the enemy for the sake of me Zhang Cheng? Zhang Cheng looked around at the tearful warriors! He continued: "You are wrong! You are for your distant families, for the sake of those brothers who died in battle! Especially you Sedum, as the future general of the Flying Tiger Division, how can you achieve great things! Remember, one day, when I see you again, you warriors, heroes and big soldiers, who have been called rubbish by others, will not come to see me! ”

"I am willing to fight for the general to the end!" Sedum shouted!

"I am willing to fight for the general to the end!" Everyone shouted along!

"Shout what to shout! Go back! Flying Tiger Master, get back to me! This is my last order! Zhang Cheng said solemnly! Sedum had no choice but to obey orders!

Just when Sedum left with everyone, Zhang Cheng called back Sedum, and he said: "In the future, you must kill the enemy well in the army and make meritorious contributions, and it is best to sit on a great general, holding tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of strong troops in your hands!" Maybe one day, I, Zhang Cheng, am unlucky, and when I want my head to land, I want your help! However, without strength and military power, it is impossible to survive in this troubled world! Flying Tiger Master is the foundation of your career, you have to make good use of it, do you know? Do you understand what I mean? ”

Sedum thought for a while, and he understood the meaning of Zhang Cheng's words, he solemnly gave a military salute, and said blatantly: "General rest assured, the last general's life has already entered the ghost gate, and it was you who brought Dr. Hua to save me!" Sedum's life is yours! From now on, Sedum will fight for the general! Rest assured, general! ”

"It's good to know in your heart, don't let others know! In addition, after the end of this battle, you should try to stay in Gyeongju and come under the command of General Huo Han, you are my person, General Huo Han is my old boss, he will definitely give you the opportunity to make contributions, do you understand? I've already told General Huo Han about this! Before Zhang Cheng left, he said another word, and after seeing that Sedum agreed, he turned around and left with the iron pillar!

Zhang Cheng did this, naturally because of his selfishness. Because he had faintly seen a hint of self-defense and even distrust from Zhao Hui's demeanor! For his own safety, he had to plant a chess piece in the army!

He didn't do anything else, just for Zhao Hui to transfer Pan Shixun back and order Tian Haitao, who had always had a grudge against him, to serve as the commander of Zhenxiong Pass!

Zhang Cheng is too clear about the evolution of history, in the competition for the world, the hegemony has not been achieved, and the lord trusts you. Once the hegemony has been achieved, none of these meritorious generals who have made military achievements and held the military power of 100,000 troops will be able to die a good death. Liu Bang is like this, and so is Zhu Yuanzhang! Zhang Cheng had to prepare for the worst in advance!

At the gate of the barracks, looking at the submerged figure of Zhang Cheng and more than a dozen others, Zhao Hui sighed again. Xu Shipeng's face was gloomy, and he said, "General! This Zhang Cheng is not simple! But he has the temperament of a leader! If he is unwilling to be subordinated, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Yes! Zhang Cheng is very smart! However, he voluntarily relinquished military power. That's fine! As long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, I'll reuse him, if he dares to have the slightest disobedience, hum! A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Hui's eyes.

A month later, Zhang Cheng and others, who passed through the eastern part of Yingzhou and Qingzhou and entered the territory of Wuzhou, could finally take a rest.

Zhang Cheng and others, who had seized the Wuzhou inventory as Jingzhou merchants, entered Jiyuan County, Shuiyue County, Wuzhou.

As soon as he entered the inn with a salt cart, he heard a quarrel in the private room on the second floor of the inn.

"Humph! Bao Yuanbao! Your heart is too dark! Are you fooling me? A dull voice came mixed with a lot of anger.

"Dead fatty, don't be embarrassed! My father has made it very clear, give you a percent of the dry shares, and let you continue to operate refined salt on the docks in Wuzhou, you already have a profit! If it weren't for the fact that you have been in business for many years and have worked hard for my Bai family like a cow for many years, I wouldn't want to spend more time with you! Hum! If you don't want to take on this job, someone else will do it! Believe it or not, I only need to have a voice, and I can go from Jiyuan County to the East Coast if I am willing to do it! Another voice came out, and the deep disdain and unhappiness in his heart could be heard from the voice.

"You, me! I'm gone! It's all right! The slightly muffled voice shrill underneath.

"Qiao Anbang, this is what you said, I didn't force you! I can't ask for it! Now that you have spoken, from now on, you don't have to run my Bai family's refined salt business! Please go out now! ”

"Good! Bai Jingyi, you still salute me for three points, you stinky boy who has not dried up, you actually said to kick me if you kick me! Well, in that case, then don't blame me for the death of the fish! Everyone's not thinking about it! After Qiao Anbang finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left!

Bai Jingyi didn't pay attention to Qiao Anbang's verbal threats at all, didn't look at Qiao Anbang, and said to the steward beside him: "Send a letter to Sister Bingyue, and hand over our family's refined salt business to them!" ”

"Yes! Master! ”

Qiao Anbang, who had just walked out of the door, heard this sentence, his originally fat body trembled, shook his head with a wry smile, and walked down the second floor quite lonely.

When Qiao Anbang walked to the door of the inn with more than a dozen servants, he couldn't help but look at the private room on the second floor with some unwillingness, shook his head bitterly, and turned away.

Seeing this scene, coupled with hearing these words, Zhang Cheng didn't understand anymore, he was too stupid. Without hesitation, he got up and took Tie Zhu, who was still gnawing on chicken legs, and the others, followed Qiao Anbang.

Walking out of the city, in a tree-lined avenue, Qiao Anbang sat in a palanquin, while a dozen servants around him on horseback surrounded the palanquin.

A middle-aged man who looked like a servant leaning on the side of the sedan chair reined in his horse, and the whole team stopped, and the servant sat on the horse quite calmly, and said indifferently: "Friends on the road, you might as well come out and see it!" Why sneak around! ”

"It's not sneaky. I've been keeping a few hundred meters away from you, which is pretty blatant! Zhang Cheng, who had already been discovered, did not look nervous at all, but rode his horse to follow, came to the servant beside Qiao Anbang, and said with a smile.

Qiao Anbang walked out of the sedan chair, he looked at Zhang Cheng and the others with a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, and then said: "I can't see it, Bai Jingyi has grown!" Do you want to kill people? ”
