Outside Weihui City, the dust was flying, and the soldiers of the Red Army of the Celestial Dynasty, who were sweating like rain, began to do their best kung fu in siege warfare again, digging trenches one after another. Behind the busy soldiers, there was a cloud of smoke and dust rolling, first from west to east, and then from north to south.

In the midst of the rolling smoke and dust, Zhang Zongyu and his dozen or so guards, like a few horsemen herding horses, were driving dozens of war horses captured in Changtun all the way towards a village called Wang Ruibu in the south of Weihui City.

Wang Ruibu is now the location of the headquarters of the Red Second Front Army, which moved here not long ago.

In a large courtyard that looks not small, but is obviously a little dilapidated, there is a big Eight Immortals table around it, Shi Xiangzhen, Zhang Lexing, Ye Yunlai, Bai Huihuai, Tan Tiyuan, Shi Zhenlun, these military commanders who have just arrived from all over the world are talking and laughing. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves hula came from far and near, attracting their attention.

"Yo, I said Brother Zhang, where did you get these treasures, didn't you just want to give them to me to solve my urgent needs?" As soon as I arrived at the headquarters, I heard that Zhang Zongyu had been scolded by Mr. Shi, and then got a big cheap Ye Yunlai in Changtun, and saw Zhang Zongyu, who was like a mud monkey outside the courtyard gate, followed by dozens of majestic war horses, and immediately jumped up and shouted with a grin.

"Think beautifully, it's so easy for you to get these treasures." Zhang Zongyu jumped off the war horse with a swish, took his sleeve and stroked his face full of mud and sweat, whipped the dust on his body with the horse whip in his hand, and pouted into the yard.

"Good brother, even if I beg you, brother, can you? Look at me, I'm really about to die of poverty now," Ye Yunlai smiled and squeezed his eyes at Shi Xiangzhen, and then slapped his face again, making a bitter look towards Zhang Zongyu, "In order to rush here for a meeting, I still gave up this big face and begged grandpa to borrow such a few mounts from our army's police regiment." It's a good thing that our police commander is a little bit generous, otherwise, I would have to run from Huaiqing to see our commander-in-chief. ”

"Come on, my good brother, you don't have to coax me with my brother anymore." Zhang Zongyu peeked at the big bowl he was holding up a big bowl and sat there peacefully, as if he was still not very willing to take care of his own Mr. Shi, and glanced at Ye Yunlai a few times, "I just ate more than 2,000 loyal and righteous salvation **, and the brothers just fought hard to the death, and they got more than 100 intact war horses when they were full." How powerful your brother is, as soon as he touches his mouth in Huaiqing, nearly 10,000 people are willing to bow down to you. Not to mention anything else, just based on their loyalty to save ** and a cavalry battalion in the association, your brother can fool no less than a thousand war horses now. Hehe, if you want to help, brother, I still want to ask your brother to help me. Alas...... I'm used to playing with horses, and I dream every day that I want to get another horse team, even if it's a battalion. ”

"Tsk...... Oh, I said Brother Zhang, what you said is really nice. Since you like horses so much that you dream about it, why do you bring the treasure you have so hard to get your hands on here? It's not here to show off, is it? Bai Huihuai pursed his mouth, and immediately, he looked at Zhang Zongyu, who was said to be blushing, and laughed, raised his hand holding the paper cigarette and pointed to the west of the village, "It's a pity, brother, it's too late for you to give gifts." Hurry up and ask your guards to go over there to take a look and count, Commander Tan and I each gave the headquarters a hundred and fifty war horses, hehe, it's a little meaning. ”

"Nonsense......" Zhang Zongyu looked at Shi Xiangzhen, who was still expressionless there, embarrassed, turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Bai Huihuai, "What do you mean by giving gifts?" We just watched Mr. Shi ride that old mule slowly and awkwardly every day, so ......"

"Haha, forget it, be careful that the more you paint it, the darker it gets." Tan Tiyuan also joined the ranks of running on Zhang Zongyu.

"That's it, when you didn't arrive just now, a few of us were still talking with Mr. Shi, what are the benefits of riding a horse, after riding for a long time, not to mention the calluses on the buttocks, the two legs that were originally straight and slippery have also become Luo Quan'er. Don't get off the horse, don't look at the horseback one by one seems to be very majestic, but this time the horse comes, and the one who walks on the crutches is like a monkey. Tsk, it's strange if the girls see it and don't scare it away. Don't forget, Mr. Shi is just like us, he is still a big bachelor, if he can't marry a daughter-in-law for this in the future, do you think it's miserable? Haha, so, we have made up our minds, we will never ride a horse if we have nothing to do, and we would rather walk. You say yes, Mr. Shi? Shi Zhenlun said, sticking out his head at Shi Xiangzhen.

"It's you ghost...... Shi Xiangzhen finally couldn't help laughing and laughed. He stood up and walked towards Zhang Zongyu with the big sea bowl, pointing at Shi Zhenlun and Ye Yunlai, "I said you, do you really want the wall to fall down and everyone pushes it, breaking the drum and hammering ten thousand people?" Beware of Zong Yu flirting with a few of you. ”

Saying this, he handed the big bowl in his hand to Zhang Zongyu, who was standing there uncomfortable, "Come, drink saliva first, don't listen to them, until now, I haven't seen any of them give me a gift, you are the first." ”

"Hey...... Hey...... Thank you, Mr. Shi. Zhang Zongyu's face was flushed, and he quickly put the horsewhip under his armpit and took the big bowl with both hands.

"Isn't it a bad thing to give gifts with loot." Shi Xiangzhen looked up and down at Zhang Zongyu, who was holding a big bowl and drinking water with a big gulp, "However, I still want to ask, give me a gift, do you want to call me this and this...... Well? Shi Xiangzhen raised his right hand, "Raise your noble hand?" ”

Zhang Zongyu had already drunk the water of the big bowl in one go, and when he heard Mr. Shi ask, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and straightened his chest, "Mr. Shi, Zong Yu can command an army well." After speaking, he smiled again, "Besides, we really want to call you majestic." Seeing that we are about to accompany you to the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, riding an old mule into it is all suitable. ”

"To the capital?" Shi Xiangzhen pretended to be confused, and looked at Zhang Zongyu up and down for a while, "How do you know that we will go to their capital?" Besides, do you have to accompany me when I go to the capital? What if I tell you to stay? I have long heard that many Anhui soldiers in your army are unwilling to go further and further, and it just so happens that the headquarters is selecting people to stay in Henan, so you might as well ......"

"How's that going to work!" Zhang Zongyu's eyes suddenly widened, and the big bowl in his hand also waved, "What kind of life are you talking about?" After the reorganization of the army, although it cannot be said that there is not a single one who is unwilling to leave his hometown, most of the officers and men have long held back their strength to fight to Beijing. You can keep anyone, but if you leave our army, I ......"

"Hey...... Be careful...... Be careful......" Shi Xiangzhen's eyes chased the sea bowl in Zhang Zongyu's hand, and the two hands subconsciously stretched forward, "Don't break the landlord's bowl, I won't have the money to compensate for you if it is broken, and you won't be able to leave......"

In the hall, Zhang Lexing and several military commanders surrounded the Eight Immortals table that had just been moved in from the courtyard, and their eyes followed Shi Xiangzhen's hand, moving on the map.

“…… The tide of battle is moving fast. According to the latest report of Xingying, the progress of Chen Yucheng of the Red Third Front Army is much faster than ours, and the main force of the Tsarist Russian army in northern Lubei has been basically completely wiped out, and Texas has also been recovered. In order to hasten the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the headquarters of the camp has begun to implement a top-secret battle plan, the 'Black Tiger Plan'. ”

Shi Xiangzhen's finger poked heavily at the location of the Beijing division on the map, and looked around at the army commanders around, "This 'Black Tiger Plan', when I participated in the Northern Expedition campaign plan with General Manager Zhang, General Wei, and Chief of Staff Gong in Jinan, Director Lin only mentioned it lightly, and I didn't understand the specific content, I only knew that his purpose was to seize the capital of the Manchu Dynasty. In order to ensure the smooth realization of the 'Black Tiger Plan,' the camp headquarters demanded that all the officers and men of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire continue to maintain and carry forward the sacred spirit of our Celestial Army's continuous combat without fear of hard work, and sweep away the enemy who dares to resist stubbornly. Now, in accordance with the instructions of the camp, the Red Third Front Army has given up repairing and is preparing to continue the plan to advance northward. According to the instructions given to us by the camp, the headquarters of the front army made the following arrangements, and the three armies of Wei Jun and Gong Deshu continued to move north to annihilate the Mianyu group in Zhengding. Shi Zhenlun's troops went east to Jizhou and Hengshui, and were controlled by General Wei and Gong Chief of Staff. In addition, the four armies of the Red Fourth Army, the 22nd Army, the 25th Army, and the 31st Army here, except for some troops stationed in Henan, formed the West Road Group to pacify Shanxi. Since Wei Hui has not been released for the time being, Ye Yun of the Red Fourth Army will be the vanguard and will enter the Jin first from now on...... Finally, what I said to Zong Yu before the meeting was not a joke. When you go back, you must be mentally prepared to go farther and farther, so that every soldier understands that our China is a vast territory, and no corner can be without the footprints of our heavenly army......

Shi Xiangzhen finished speaking. He straightened his waist and began to squint his eyes to look at Zhang Zongyu, only to see that Zhang Zongyu lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, so he turned his gaze to Bai Huihuai with a smile, "Huihuai, this time the camp has ordered us to have a division stationed in Henan, and we have already obtained the approval of the Supreme Revolutionary Commander of the Celestial Empire, and Wu Ruxiao will be appointed as the overseer of Henan Province." I think so, after the Battle of Weihui, I will directly select a division from your army and leave it to Wu Ruxiao. ”

"This ......" Bai Huihuai obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to be the turn of his main force, he was unhappy, and he couldn't say it, so he had to pout, and hummed weakly.

"Don't be upset, Wu Ruxiao is your partner, we don't get along for long, but we have a close relationship. Since you broke up, if you don't leave him with a handy army, you're sorry for your old friend. Shi Xiangzhen smiled and patted Bai Huihuai's shoulder, and then looked at Zhang Lexing, Tan Tiyuan and Zhang Zongyu, "Okay, the big things are over, now, let's talk about this Wei Hui under our noses......"
