Xu Yiyang was furious, he was a deputy general, how could a little Qian always dare to be rude in front of him.

Zuo Ruojun's recklessness can be seen slightly.

That Qian always looked at him with a provocative gaze, Zuo Ruojun was good at fighting, and he had a natural sense of superiority over the rest of the Ming army. This sense of superiority was accumulated in one war after another, and it was also deliberately cultivated by Zuo Ruo.

An arrogant army must have the temperament of giving up who else it is.

"Do you want to die?"

Mr. Qian sneered and asked, "In what name will Vice President Xu kill me?" ”

Xu Yiyang's heart moved, it turned out that he knew my identity He touched the handle of the knife with his right hand, and more than a dozen people on the opposite side looked at him with special eyes, which was by no means a kind gaze.

After a short standoff.

"Okay" Xu Yiyang's right hand holding on the hilt of the knife let go, "You are not my subordinate, but there will never be a person like you left in our army"

He turned and walked away.

There was a burst of laughter from behind. It must have been ridicule, but Xu Yiyang didn't fight with a few soldiers.

When he returned to the barracks, Xiao Zhiyan was returning from Xinye City, and said to him with a smile: "General Zuo is full of praise for you, today the cavalry has brought back more than 10,000 strong men to help the army solve many problems. ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and saluted, seeing his father's warm expression, it was inconvenient to say more.

Although he didn't see Zuo Ruojun fight, he already understood that Zuo Ruo's good fighting was not in vain, but if Zuo Ruo was so royal, sooner or later he would get into trouble. Today, a thousand generals don't know him as a deputy general, if he wants to transfer Zuo Ruo out in the future, who else can control this army of soldiers and horses?

In the afternoon of the next day, Zuo Ruo summoned Xu Yiyang into the city.

Xu Yiyang set off immediately after receiving the military order, and when he walked to the gate of the county office, he saw the Qian Zong who had quarreled with him yesterday kneeling on the side of the road, followed by several soldiers, all of whom were familiar faces.

Xu Yiyang asked the guards at the gate of the county government to report inside, and a personal soldier came out of it after a while, and said: "Yesterday, these people offended Vice General Xu, and the chief soldier has an order, let Vice General Xu punish himself."

Xu Yiyang turned his head to look at Mr. Qian, yesterday's arrogance was gone, and his face looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He stood there and looked at it for a moment, feeling very bored, and said: "There was nothing wrong yesterday, and the last general did not dare to punish these people" He bowed his hand to the soldiers who went out to give the order, and said: "Please tell General Zuo, the last general will not dare to take care of the warriors in General Zuo's army." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a majestic general come out of the county office, it was Zuo Ruo.

"Vice General Xu, in your opinion, what crime did these people commit?"

Xu Yiyang looked at Zuo Ruo and said, "Abusing the people and disrespecting the officials"

"How should I be punished?"

"The last general will not dare to speak falsely"

"I've heard you say that you don't want such a soldier in your army?"

Xu Yiyang hung his head and was silent, was General Zuo forcibly pressing him to bow his head?

"Twenty lashes per person, for the crime of disrespecting the officials" Zuo Ruo's voice was loud, and immediately a soldier came up and stripped off the shirts of those people, and the whip crackled on the flesh.

The muffled snort reached Xu Yiyang's ears, making him unable to be as calm as before.

"The people of Henan are not the obedient people of Huguang, this is because Vice General Xu is wrong, I also want to be a general who loves the people like a son, but I must win the battle first."

Xu Yiyang knew what he had to do.

What he said offended the majesty of General Zuo. He endured his dissatisfaction and anger, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general knows that he is wrong"

If Zuo is not his stepfather, he will not treat him like a spoiled child. But if it weren't for Xiao Zhiyan's face, he would not have escaped whipping.

"If you know your mistakes, you have to change them," Zuo Ruo turned around and walked into the county office.

Xu Yiyang knelt there, facing Zuo Ruo's back, until the twenty lashes were over, and the four soldiers were covered with blood on their backs, and there was not a single intact piece of skin

The soldiers came out to give an order, ordering Xu Yiyang to get up and go out of the city.

Leaving Xinye City, he had a little more fear of Zuo Ruo. His identity and merits have no effect in front of Zuo Ruo.

He clearly knew that a general like Zuo Ruo was not the general he wanted to be.

Few people in the army know about this matter, and Xu Yiyang even thinks that Xiao Zhiyan doesn't know.

The Ming army rested in Xinye for a few days, Jin Shenghuan left 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Xinye, and Zuo Ruo led his infantry to continue to attack Wadian.

After capturing Wadian, the Ming army did not go straight to Nanyang City as usual, but turned back and marched to several county towns in the west. The Qing cavalry often lined up in front of the marching Ming army, and when they saw the Ming army approaching, they quickly retreated, and they were immediately separated from the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Ming army did not advance with the army, and 7,000 cavalry were stationed outside Xinye City to wait for orders.

On the seventh or eighth day, the wounded soldiers who had withdrawn from the front camp came with the news that Zuo Ruo's army had defeated the Qing soldiers under Nanyang City and was marching to Henan Province.

When the Ming army traveled, it only brought ten days of military rations, and the follow-up convoy of grain had just traveled. Xu Yiyang knew that Zuo Ruojun could maintain and not retreat, and he must have looted a lot of materials along the way.

The day after the grain team came out, Zuo Ruojun ordered the cavalry battalion, and Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng led the cavalry out to escort the grain team.

Thirty miles out of Wadian, nearly 1,000 Mongolian cavalry appeared on the plain in front of them.

Before the real war, Xu Yiyang was just a spectator. Xiao Zhiyan waved the flag and ordered the Che Feng to lead the army to expel him.

Che Feng led the army to chase for ten miles, and the two sides briefly engaged, and the Ming cavalry used flint guns to deal with the Mongols' bows and arrows, and both sides suffered casualties on both sides. In less than a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the Mongol cavalry retreated, and those men were highly skilled, getting farther and farther away, and the wind collected their troops and returned to the team.

Xu Yiyang did not go into battle, this was the first cavalry battle he saw.

The Ming army's grain team chose an empty avenue all the way, preferring to take a detour rather than a narrow path.

The Mongols are like pesky flies, following them all the way. But until Zuo Ruojun received grain and grass, those Mongols did not attack.

Hong Chengchou guarded Henan, and implemented the same strategy as Zhai Zhe in Yangzhou City, focusing on stability, and never rushing forward if there was no opportunity. The purpose of today's battle is to verify the combat effectiveness of the Ming cavalry, and seeing that the Ming cavalry is not easy to deal with, Luck Dehun did not dare to attack. Most of the defenders of Henan were defeated troops in Huguang, and they had no heart to fight to the death, nor did they have the courage to fight to the death

After Zuo Ruojun obtained supplies, he broke through the three counties of Dengzhou, Zhechuan and Junxian, captured the three counties in the southwest of Nanyang Prefecture, and opened the road to Yunyang. If the Ming army breaks through Yunyang, it can directly threaten Hanzhong.

Hong Chengchou asked Azig for help, who was guarding Hanzhong.

Seven thousand cavalry returned to Xinye, Xu Yiyang was a little bored, and asked Xiao Zhiyan: "We came back like this?" ”

Xiao Zhiyan joked and said: "The general has an order, and the Hubei army is under the control of General Zuo, you just need to listen to the military order, why is it urgent?" Didn't you see General Zuo's meritorious service and couldn't sit still? ”

Xu Yiyang shook his head. Before coming to Jiangbei, he longed for Zuo Ruo, but at this moment, he was fearful and disrespectful to Zuo Ruo.

"It's actually hard to match the fame, is it because it's too close? However, I stayed with the general for several months, and I didn't think that the general was different from the rumors. ”

Therefore, the general is the general, and the left is the left.
