Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Expedition

On the sixth day of the twelfth month, it is auspicious, and it is appropriate to marry......

Weiwubao Tang's big wine feast, today is Tang Baocheng's big day, the first of the first chief, the general A, the head of each division in Weiwubao, the person in charge of the private school, the church, classmates, martyrs, etc. gathered together, even the Han Erjia who had just returned from Lushun made an exception to drink a glass of wine, Tang Baocheng is the champion of the fourth phase, and he is a martyr, I heard that he was personally selected by Lord He to go to the Intelligence Division, and the wealth is unlimited, and everyone knows it, so even the two courtyards next door are temporarily used as a place to put wine.

Tang Bao was pushed and shoved like a puppet, complimenting, he has been searching around, but unfortunately it is disappointing that the pretty figure has not appeared, as a martyr and classmate, Han Fangmei did not mean it today, obviously she also intended it to herself, thinking of this, Tang Baocheng's heart hurt like a knife......

"The groom!" A hand was enthusiastically placed on his shoulder, which startled Tang Baocheng, it turned out to be Cai Changshun.

Seeing Cai Changshun looking at him with a sunny face, Tang Baocheng squeezed out a smile a little stiffly: "Changshun, you are here"

"Baocheng, what's wrong with you? Did you suffer from the wind chill? Cai Changshun saw that Tang Baocheng's face was a little pale, and he tried it with his hands with some concern, with a natural expression and demeanor, as if Tang Baocheng had been a brother for many years.

"Nope"

Tang Baocheng took a step back, avoided Cai Changshun's care, and disguised: "I've been in a trance these days, it's okay."

Cai Changshun looked at Tang Baocheng meaningfully, and suddenly asked, "Baocheng." I've been a classmate with you for two years, and I know the reason why you went from being that lively playmate to what you are today, and there's only one thing that can get you out of this situation. ”

Tang Baocheng looked at Cai Changshun with some surprise. His gaze seems to be able to penetrate his own heart?

"Faith!" Seeing that Tang Baocheng was silent, Cai Changshun directly said the answer.

Tang Baocheng frowned: "Changshun, we have been classmates for two years, and we will be comrades-in-arms in the future, but I don't want to listen to your preaching, at least you don't need to preach to me"

Seeing Cai Changshun's embarrassed smile, Tang Baocheng said with some disgust: "Your so-called God. Like a messenger who never comes, in the end will get nothing but disappointment. Changshun, I won't tell you that I will not seek the help of your God, because I have found the God I believe in. So. Let's not bring it up again in the future, shall we? ”

After speaking, Tang Baocheng stretched out his hand to Cai Changshun, this is the etiquette of their private school, the boys shook hands, and the women nodded slightly and bent their knees.

Cai Changshun looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, and suddenly laughed: "Baocheng, why do you talk about faith every time." Do you think I'm talking about God? ”

Just then, a soldier in a battle uniform walked in. His arrival caused everyone to stop talking and look at him in a daze.

"Tang Baocheng?"

The soldier walked straight up to Tang Baocheng, who was dressed as a groom officer: "If it's convenient, let's find a quiet place to say a few words." ”

Tang Baocheng nodded, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and walked outside the courtyard first.

"This is the official order issued by Lord He, ten days later, you go to the Lushun Intelligence Department to report" The soldier handed over a thin document.

Seeing Tang Baocheng take over the order, the soldier refused Tang Baocheng's retention on the grounds of military situation, and sent the soldier to the outside of the courtyard, Tang Baocheng suddenly found that in the cold wind, a pretty figure stood alone at the door.

"Brother Baocheng?" Han Fangmei looked up at him with a slightly choked tone.

"Fangmei, you, you're here? Why don't you go in? Tang Baocheng asked incoherently.

"No, Brother Baocheng, I wish you and your sister-in-law a happy life, early, early birth of a noble son!" Han Fangmei put the gift slip in Tang Baocheng's hand, finally looked at him deeply, turned around and covered her face and left, almost falling in a panic.

Tang Baocheng subconsciously stretched out his hand and took a step, but he stopped indifferently until Han Fangmei's figure completely disappeared around the corner......

November 26, Lushun ......

Yang Bo presided over a military meeting, and the commanders of all battalions were all present, and everyone was silent, listening to Wang Xiaoyu of the General Staff read out the latest battle report: "...... About 8,000 people from the Blue Banner of the Tatar Nu Zheng attacked Phoenix City under the leadership of the banner lord Hushbu, and the Slave Chief Haoge led the rest of the 15,000 Blue Banner out of Yizhou, and the Tatar Nu used the name of conquest of the remnants of Phi Dao, Li Chao did not dare to resist, and let the Tatar Nu drive straight in, at present, the Tatar Nu forward has approached the area of Iron Mountain. ”

“…… Fuzhou Dolgon Department is ready to move, these days the sentry ride through the coastal frozen sea to the Jinzhou outpost, the western coast of Jinzhou, Changsheng, Lianyun area on the ice surface of the Tarnu sentry riding back and forth, the pier platform warning every day. ”

The hall was quiet, looking at the heavy expressions of everyone present, Yang Bo suddenly asked, "How many soldiers and horses did that Azig bring?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu glanced at He Jiu with some uncertainty before returning: "The information sent back by the Intelligence Department is about fifteen thousand, but ......"

He Jiu stood up: "My lord, in the area from Jinzhou to Fuzhou that has been blocked by the Tatar Sentinels recently, Zhao Long and several brothers have died before this news comes back, but the number of people is not sure. ”

Yang Bo nodded: "Since we don't have a choice, let's fight, only if the Tartar slaves are beaten, they will hesitate and be afraid before sending troops, so this battle is related to the life and death of our people, please be cautious!" ”

At the moment, the iron armor in the conference room of the Lushun Guerrilla Mansion sounded. Everyone stood up and said, "Yes!" ”

Yang Bo looked around at He Jiu, Xiucai, and calf. Li Dali, Huang Erman, Liu Manzi, Hu Mazi, Zhang Quan, Zhang Shixiong, Wang Tiezhu. Lu Ruohan waited for the others to look at each other, and said slowly: "Now, I will order ......"

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Yang Bo. A straight listener.

“…… Lushun is where our foundation is, and we need a general to guard it, Iron Bull? ”

"In! My lord! Iron Bull replied loudly

"You lead the reserve battalion, the smoothbore artillery battalion. And the first part of the water battalion was stationed in Lushun. There is also a strange barracks, and the main barracks are also sent by you, and the garrisons of Guanglu and Shuangdao are ready to support at any time, just hold on, no need to fight! ”

Tie Niu clasped his hands into fists and said loudly, "Obey the orders of your lordship." ”

Yang Bo said again: "He Jiu led the special forces battalion to Nanguan, and Zhao Long's cavalry was also sent by you, and Nanguan was very easy to be surrounded." Your department needs to hold on for at least three days, and after three days, the sailor will land to respond! ”

He Jiu said loudly: "Don't worry, adults. He Jiu will live up to the trust of the adults, the city is in the people, the city is destroyed and the people are dead! ”

Yang Bo nodded, then looked at Han Yan'er, who was a little pale, and said, "Bit'er, tens of thousands of displaced people in Lushun, I'll hand it over to you!" ”

The corners of Han Yan'er's eyes were a little moist, and she said loudly: "Don't worry, adults, although the small ones will not lead troops to fight, the logistics can only be handed over to Yan'er." ”

Yang Bo nodded, waved his hand at everyone and said: "Go to fight in Jinzhou, brothers, go back and prepare to prepare, say goodbye to your family, remember to explain to your soldiers, write your will, and tomorrow morning, the parade will ......."

On the second day, Yun Niang put on armor for Yang Bo with some red and swollen eyes, Yang Bo held her Rouyi and smiled: "Yun Niang don't worry, as the saying goes, a good person doesn't live long, and the disaster will last for a thousand years. ”

Yun Niang sneered, and soon, she was silent again.

Yang Bo knew that she was worried, so he explained: "This battle will be fought sooner or later, after the fight, we will be much easier, in the future, I will have more time to accompany you, these days, but you are suffering." ”

Yun Niang cried out with a wow, and sobbed and said: "Xianggong Ji people have their own natural appearance, Yun Niang also understands these truths, Xianggong just fights with peace of mind, and defeats the Tartar ......"

Before Yun Niang finished speaking, Chen Bilian ran in in a hurry: "Okay, okay?" Hey, what is my sister crying for? Xianggong is fighting old, and my sister guarantees that when Xianggong comes back, there will be no hair missing! ”

Yang Bo was dressed properly, Chen Bilian was also draped all over her body, and followed him majestically, Yun Niang was still holding Yang Bo's hand outside the house and couldn't bear to part, Yang Bo comforted him in every possible way, and waved goodbye.

Outside the guerrilla mansion, everyone was standing on both sides of the street waiting for Yang Bo, some of the chief officials who had become a family, and their family members were also in the group of sending others, looking at their men with reluctance, seeing Yang Bo come out and the crowd was in a commotion, Yang Bo ignored it, and walked towards the school field, and the crowd of farewell followed him silently.

Inside the crack in the door, Yun Niang looked at the figure that was gradually moving away with tears streaming down her face, until she couldn't see it, and finally cried loudly......

A hundred steps out of the mansion, Yang Bo turned over and got on his horse, and the guards held high: "Lushun guerrilla Yang" banner in front of the road, along the way the soldiers and civilians saw the banner coming, and they all knelt on the ground.

"Have a nice trip, sir!"

"Your Excellency, your Excellency!"

"Take care, adult"

"Adult ......"

When I came to the school ground, it was already full of people, and the sergeants of each battalion lined up in a neat line, silently watching Yang Bo's arrival.

"Everyone's here?" Yang Bo asked Zhang Shixiong, the chief military discipline officer who rushed over to greet him.

"The four battalions have a total of 5,500 soldiers and horses, all of them are here, please instruct," Zhang Shixiong said loudly.

Yang Bo walked up to the stage with a calm face, and slowly glanced at the dense soldiers in the audience, among these people are veterans who followed him to fight pirates, and there are also newcomers who only joined the army a month ago. How many are left?

Yang Bo looked at the vivid face of the piece of paper, and then looked back at the big and small chiefs who surrounded him, he calmed down and drew his sword

"Soldiers, kill slaves with me today!"

Kill slaves!

Kill slaves! Kill slaves!

The school yard was like a thunderstorm swept through the flat ground, everyone shouted loudly, and the sound of killing slaves was wave after wave, and there was harmony everywhere inside and outside Lushun City

Kill slaves!

Kill slaves! Kill slaves!

Yang Bo nodded, and pointed the long sword forward: "Let's go!" (To be continued......)
