After everyone came to the conference room of the town guard embassy and sat down, the people made good tea and retreated, and everyone chatted about you and me.

"Grandma's, I haven't had lunch yet!" Head Tang didn't say anything in his mouth, and he was slandered in his heart.

"Brother Tang, I don't know how many soldiers I brought this time!" Tan Zongrui is also a self-familiar master, and he called him brother and brother in a few clicks, making our little Tang head embarrassed, Tan Lao is almost old enough to be his grandfather.

"More than 300 people!" Tang Zhidao took a big sip of tea and said casually.

"It's only more than three hundred!" Tan Zongrui was so shocked that he almost didn't squirt out the tea he had just drunk, and the reinforcements he was looking forward to from the stars and the moon were only more than 300.

"I said Commander Tang, you are also a regiment commander, why are there only about 300 soldiers." When the head of the militia group heard that Tang Zhidao only brought more than 300 people, he couldn't help but say contemptuously: "You have to be happy for everyone!" ”

"It's not that Duolun is in a hurry, I have to come over with more than 300 cavalry to reinforce first!" Tang Zhidao smiled faintly and said, "There are still more than 2,000 infantry on the road, and it is estimated that it will be there in three or two days!" ”

"And two thousand infantry!" Tan Zongrui stood up happily and said, "Brother Tang's disciples are thick! ”

"In this way, the strength of Duolun City will have four or five thousand people!" Governor Ma said excitedly: "It's about the same as this time last year, even if you can't defeat the bandits, there should be no problem to keep it for a month!" ”

"Head Tang, you are really the great savior of our Duolun City!" Captain Liu immediately changed his face and said flatteringly, a character like him is only afraid of strength.

"I was just ordered to come for reinforcements, and when I get to Duolun City, I still have to listen to Tan Zhentai's arrangement." Tang Zhidao said modestly: "I'll see if I can talk about it here today, I have to go and see how the brothers are settled." ”

"Okay, the old man will go with you!" Tan Zongrui was in a good mood, and took the initiative to say to Governor Ma: "Governor Ma, you should also make some money in the county, it's not easy for Brother Tang to come all the way!" ”

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare." Although Governor Ma is a little painful, he also knows that the money is still not saved, but fortunately, Duolun City is a fat shortage, and one or two thousand oceans can still be taken out, and there is also the Chamber of Commerce, which is wronged, to pay for it.

Tan Tang and the two went to the barracks in the northwest of the city under the escort of the guards, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled the pungent smell of meat coming from inside. President Ai's work efficiency is really not fast, and the meals for hundreds of people are ready in just half an hour.

"Commander, you can eat some too." Zuo Jiwu saw the head of the Tang regiment coming over, and hurriedly handed over a big leg of mutton, wiped the oil on his mouth and said, "This thing is really exciting to eat!" ”

"Eat more if it's delicious, President Ai is a big boss, and he can't eat poorly." Tang Zhidao said with a laugh, and unceremoniously took the leg of mutton and ate it, just now he drank tea in the town guard envoy's mansion, and his stomach was always empty.

"Hey! It was my negligence that patronized my own affairs and forgot that Brother Tang was still hungry! Tan Zongrui looked at Tang Zhidao gobbling up, and said with remorse: "I'll be the east tonight, and invite all the brothers here to the Shanxi Hall for a big meal." ”

Shanxi Hall is located in the southwest of Duolun City, is the only provincial hall in the city, the hall is built on the street, sits in the north and faces south, consists of four courtyards, there are hundreds of rooms, by the big mountain gate, the big theater, the next stay, the second mountain gate, the three halls, the east and west corridor, the ear room, the main hall and other parts, this is the Jin business meeting place, but over the years the president of the Duolun Chamber of Commerce has been controlled by the Jin businessmen, Shanxi Hall has become the Duolun Chamber of Commerce and even the Duolun local government meeting, communication, banquet important place. Every year on Guan Gong Knife Sharpening Day (May 23), a celebration is held here to worship Guan Laoye, and the famous opera actors invited from Hebei and Shanxi will sing Shanxi Bangzi and Hebei Bangzi here. …,

"Then I'll take my brothers to thank Tan Zhentai!" Tang Zhidao took the leg of mutton and arched his hand and said, "You always have something to do, just tell me!" ”

"Well said, well said!" Tan Zongrui followed Tang Zhidao around inside and outside the barracks, and found that although the subordinates of more than 300 people of Tang Regiment Commander had been on the road for more than ten days in a row, their mental outlook was excellent, and they were not in a hurry to rest after eating, but were washing their horses and maintaining their guns, and couldn't help but say with great joy: "Brother Tang, if you lack anything or something, even if you talk to me, you will treat this Duolun City as your own home!" ”

"Thank you so much Tan Zhentai!" Tang Zhidao said sincerely this time, it seems that Tan Zongrui is still a sincere person, although it may not be good to lead troops to fight, it is fair to behave in the world.

"Then I won't disturb your rest and let Chief of Staff Lin take you to the Shanxi Hall at night." Tan Zongrui glanced at the foreign watch in his hand, wrapped the military uniform on his body, and said lightly: "Let's get drunk tonight!" ”

"See you tonight!" Tang Zhidao also signaled goodbye, when he first arrived in Duolun City, things were also complicated, and there were still many things to deal with.

"Commander Tan, the scouts sent out are back, and I have something urgent to report to you!" Tan Zongrui had just walked out, and Adjutant Hou ran in in a hurry.

"What's the urgency? Let him in. Tan Zongrui slowed down and frowned and said, Adjutant Hou heard his order and ran out quickly.

"Commander, commander, big things are not good, big things are not good!" Soon a soldier A ran in in a panic, his hair soaked with sweat, apparently desperately rushing back.

"What are you doing in a panic, the sky is falling." Tan Zongrui said unhappily.

"Commander, we found ......" Soldier A looked up and saw Tang Zhidao and the others standing next to Tan Zongrui, and said without saying anything.

"Captain Tang is his own person, what do you have to say directly!" Tan Zongrui commanded directly.

"The Meng bandits have already left Rehe and are heading for our Duolun City!" Soldier A wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Little one, hurry back and report first, the other brothers are still watching!" ”

"Yes!" Tan Zongrui asked expressionlessly, "When did you come out of Rehe?" How many people are there? Who commanded it? How long will it take to get to Toron? ”

"This, this, this subordinate is not very clear." The soldier said that the sweat on his head was even more, but as soon as he saw the team coming, he was sent back by Captain Zhao to report the military situation.

"I don't know anything, and I report a fart!" Tan Zongrui scolded angrily: "Last time, you lied about the military situation and made Duolun jump up and down, I don't know how Zhao Yuchen, the captain of the bastard scout team, was the captain." ”

"Commander, this time it's true, it can't be fake!" Soldier A swore and said, "If you say half a lie, your subordinates will ......."

"Forget it, don't go down first!" Tan Zongrui said impatiently: "Next time you find out the situation and report to me, who will be scared!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Soldier A stumbled out as if he had been pardoned.

"Brother Tang smiled, but it's not a big deal!" Tan Zongrui smiled awkwardly at Head Tang and said, "As usual tonight, I'll wait for you in Shanxi Hall!" ”

"Yes!" Head Tang nodded disappreciatively, and at this time, Li Dazhu also ran in from the outside in a hurry, and went straight to Tang Zhidao's side and whispered a few words to Head Tang.

"Tan Zhentai stays!" Tang Zhizhi's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped Tan Zongrui, who had not yet walked out of the camp.

"What's wrong with Brother Tang?" Tan Zongrui looked at Tang Zhidao in confusion and said, I don't know what this old brother has to say.

"More than 1,000 cavalry led by the general Dari Hachi under the command of Babu Zabu have passed through the Xing'an Mountains and left the territory of Rehe, and it is estimated that two or three efforts will be under the city of Duolun." Tang Zhidao said lightly: "Please also ask Tan Zhentai to make a decision as soon as possible, I will stop tonight's banquet." ”…,

"Is the news true?" Tan Zongrui stared at Tang Zhidao with wide eyes, and said in his heart, this kid got such complete information so quickly.

"No, didn't your scout team report it just now?" Tang Zhidao nodded and said, "At this time, it may be less than a hundred miles away from Duolun City!" ”

"Brother Tang, what do you think?" What are you afraid of, don't look at Tan Zongrui who has been in the army for more than 40 years, but this is the first time he has really been in charge alone, and he is a bit of a six-god masterless.

"Tan Zhentai, you are an old-timer in the military world, and you have been in Saibei for many years, so you have to make up your mind." Tang Zhidao said modestly: "I will definitely obey your dispatch." ”

"Why don't we hold on to the city first, and then fight back when your troops are all there?" Tan Zongrui asked cautiously: "It's just that the people outside the city will be miserable!" ”

"It's too conservative!" Commander Tang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is the vanguard of Babu Zabu, if we are scared like this, how can we fight the next battle?" ”

"What does Brother Don mean?" Tan Zongrui was also a little hesitant, he was really not good at leading troops to fight, especially after his friend Mi Zhenbiao was killed, he was even more frightened.

"Let's call everyone over to discuss one or two!" Tang Zhidao suggested, after all, he didn't know much about the situation inside and outside the city, and it was not enough to make a decision.

"Okay." Tan Zongrui nodded and ordered his subordinates to inform Lin Jianzhong, the chief of staff, and several other pipes to bring over.
