Xiangcheng, military camp.

Since yesterday, after Zuo Houde deceived the door and seized the city, in addition to sending troops back to inform him, he rested in Xiangcheng.

"Lord Qiqizuo, there is a team of soldiers and horses from outside the city." The herald said.

"Where is the military horse, but the Youzhou army?" Zuo Houde asked,

"The person who came was playing the banner of Zhao, but he was dressed as the Youzhou army."

"I'll take a look." Zuo Houde opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but be curious about the army under the banner of Zhao, but Zuo Houde also knew that the military department did send a group of people to attack Xiangcheng, and he thought that this was the way.

But I don't know, Zuo Houde is curious, and the army under the city is also curious, why the soldiers on the city wall are actually dressed by the Youzhou army.

"Who is under the city? I am the left vanguard, General Luo Lie's subordinate, Zuo Houde. Zuo Houde shouted in the city.

"We are under the command of the Captain of the Dingjun."

After the group repeatedly confronted each other for a while, the army outside the city sent a herald to send the military order into the city, and Zuo Houde opened the city gate.

I don't blame Zuo Houde for being careful, after all, how did he break the city, and others can do the same.

After the troops outside the city entered the city, Zuo Houde went to meet the other party's captain.

"I've seen the captain of the Dingjun Academy." Zuo Houde bowed.

This lieutenant is about forty, with a long beard, and he is very powerful.

"You are Luo Lie's subordinate, how can you do it in this city?"

"Returning to the general, the general of my family broke through Huicheng yesterday, and used stratagems to deceive Kaixiang City and Jingcheng. Leave me here to wait for the general. Zuo Houde replied.

Captain Dingjun laughed, "What a Luo Lie, he is really brave and strategic, within one day, he conquered the three cities, but this pioneer is a good one!" ”

Zuo Houde didn't dare to talk, just silent.

"Okay, I'll take over this city, you cut back and meet your general!" The captain waved his hand and let Zuo Houde leave.

When Zuo Houde left, the scribe next to the captain of the Ding military academy asked, "That's it, the general?" ”

"If you don't count it like this, what can you do, he Luo Lie relied on his ability to attack the city, and I can still swallow this credit? Besides, this Luo Lie was born in Yanyun Cavalry, and he was the pioneer of Huwei Zhonglang to protect him, so he was afraid that he would be a cronie of the champion Hou, so he simply gave him a favor. ”

Zuo Houde didn't know the doorway, but he knew that Luo Lie had robbed the captain of the Dingjun Academy, and he was afraid that it wouldn't be so simple.

So when he was questioned just now, Zuo Houde simplified his role, after all, if he knew that it was his own strategy, this Dingjun lieutenant might not do something to Zuo Houde.

Immediately led his subordinates to Huicheng.

At this time, Luo Lie had not come back yet, and he was still stationed in Jingcheng.

At noon on the second day, Luo Lie took his subordinates and returned to Huicheng.

"General, if we attack Xiangcheng and Jingcheng, aren't we hated by others?" Zuo Houde was a little worried.

"No problem, in the army, each according to his ability." Luo Lie didn't care.

Hearing Luo Lie say this, Zuo Houde didn't have much to say. After all, Luo Lie can sit in the position of the left-wing pioneer, and I think there is someone to support him.

"Houde, I have the intention to let you choose 400 people among the soldiers and be a military horse." Luo Lie said.

"Thank you, General" Zuo Houde suppressed the joy in his heart and hurriedly thanked him.

"It's okay, your merits are enough to promote to the army." Luo Lie also waved his hand.

"Of course, at this time, there is no appointment from the military department, so it can only be regarded as a fake Sima, and when the military department appoints it, your Sima is worthy of the name." Luo Lie also joked.

After Zuo Houde retreated, Luo Lie sighed, today's conversation is actually a temptation, if so, Zuo Houde doesn't want to be this Sima, and wants to continue to give Luo Lie a personal guard, of course Luo Lie is happy.

If Zuo Houde wanted to lead a military horse by himself, Luo Lie would be willing to let go, after all, he would become an enemy if he stayed.

The next day, Zuo Houde came to the front of the surrender.

"If your family is in this city, come to the left."

After a while, more than 1,000 people walked to the left, and Zuo Houde selected 400 strong soldiers as his subordinates.

After all, it's a pawn, it's better to be careful, if you have a family in the city, it can be regarded as a containment.

Zuo Houde also found the rest of the divisions and asked for dozens of non-commissioned officers in the Youzhou Army to be used as military horses to manage his department. The other Simas were also willing to give him this face, after all, it was not a big deal, and a few empty positions were just used to promote the people below.

Before the order of the military department came down, Zuo Houde and others have been stationed in this Huicheng, and Zuo Houde also followed the training of his subordinates, Zuo Houde has little experience, fortunately there are dozens of non-commissioned officers in the Youzhou army.

"Monkey, are there any dishonest pawns in this batch?"

"Lord Sima, these soldiers have families in the city, and they are all honest." Zhou Monkey said.

Zhou Monkey turned out to be a general under Cao Sima, and after being asked by Zuo Houde, he was promoted to a military marquis, and now he is responsible for the training of these soldiers every day.

Zuo Houde also trains with his subordinates every day to collect the hearts of the pawns.

In the General's Tent,

"There was an order from the military headquarters to ask me to wait and go to the black nest to gather." Luo Lie said

"What about this Huicheng?" Cao Sima asked

"It's okay, someone will take over later, and I'll take care of the handover."

After Luo Lie and his entourage handed over Huicheng, they marched to Wuchao, although they did not stop all the way, they arrived at Wuchao in the afternoon of the second day.

Wuchao is the hinterland of Qingzhou, and at the same time it is the granary of Qingzhou, and its importance is no less than that of Quancheng. Of course, this black nest is also heavily guarded, and the general who guards the black nest, named Li Fuming, is also a veteran, and is deeply trusted by Luo Xin.

Luo Lie and others rushed to the army, and Huang Xiaoyuan, the general on the left, came to greet them.

"I said that this first broke the Acropolis and then broke the Xiangkou, and in one day, what is the appearance of Luo Lie in the three cities, today I see that he is indeed a young man, a hero in our army." Huang Xiaoyuan helped Luo Lie up and exclaimed.

"The last general didn't dare, the general praised falsely" Luo Lie was modest.

"You don't need to be modest, you won't cheat your record." Huang Xiaoyuan said loudly.

"By the way, who is the resourceful Zuo Sima under your command?"

Zuo Houde clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the general." ”

At this time, Zuo Houde can be regarded as appearing in front of many high-level executives.

"Sure enough, it's a young talent" Huang Xiaoyuan glanced at Zuo Houde and exclaimed.

After a group of people picked up the wind for Luo Lie at night, they dispersed, and now the two armies are facing each other, and no one is drinking.

The next day, Zuo Houde practiced with the soldiers in the morning.

The two armies fought, and this time it was not a war of several thousand men, but a battle of 100,000 of our army and 80,000 of the enemy, totaling nearly 200,000. In the decision-making of the army, Zuo Houde couldn't interfere with anything else, and Zuo Houde didn't know how long this battle would take, so he had to work hard to train his soldiers.

However, the appointment of the military department came down, and Zuo Houde was officially appointed as the military commander.
