Yuanjiang No. 1 Stone Fort is a large-scale military fortress, covering an area of hundreds of square meters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The fort is made of rough stone and giant wood, and some of them are made of reinforced concrete.

There are a total of four such forts built on the south bank of the Yuan River, and basically, each fort is a temporary command post for the commanders of the Fourth Legion.

According to Nie Zheng's previous appointment regulations, the four major army corps on the Annan border, each of which is equipped with four corps commanders, 16 battalion commanders, 64 company commanders, and more than 200 platoon commanders, according to the calculation of five people as a squad, the number of squad leaders is as high as 1,000.

No. 1 Stone Fort belonged to the command post of Ge Yun, the commander of the First Corps of the Fourth Army Corps.

At this moment, Nie Zheng was sitting behind the desk of a regimental command post, gently drinking hot tea, and quietly listening to the reports of the corps commanders.

After learning that Nie Dashuai had landed on the south bank of the Yuan River, more than a dozen battalion-level officers stationed on the south bank of the defense line rushed to greet and accompany him.

And Niu Meng, who was in charge of the Fourth Legion of the Dragon and Tiger Army, was on his way at this time.

Seeing that Niu Meng didn't come over so quickly, it just so happened that Nie Zheng had been on the plane for so many days in a row, and he had already been stuffy, and now that he finally returned to his territory, he had to sit down and rest well.

Especially Annan's fragrant hot tea, Nie Zheng missed it for a long time.

It has been nearly two months since he went to sea, and Nie Zheng has never drunk a sip of hot tea, which makes him unbearable when he has good tea.

The first thing he did when he arrived at the south bank of the Yuan River was to order the Dragon and Tiger officers and soldiers stationed here to brew himself a pot of hot fragrant tea.

At the bottom of the desk, more than a dozen battalion-level officers reported to Nie Zheng with respectful expressions about the events on the Yuanjiang defense line, and Nie Zheng nodded again and again, looking very satisfied.

From time to time, Nie Zheng would also ask them some questions on the defensive line, and the middle-level officers of these officers also answered truthfully, it seems that during the period of time when he left Annan, Niu Meng could be regarded as very qualified in the management of this army.

Nie Zheng sat in the corps command and drank less than two pots of tea, and from a distance, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside the fortress, and from time to time, there were soldiers guarding outside shouting: "I have seen the corps commander......

Hearing this, Nie Zheng shook his head and smiled, and his heart was quite fast.

I haven't seen Niu Meng for many days, thinking of his majestic and rough appearance, Nie Zheng's heart can't help but warm.

Soon, Niu Meng, with the support of several confidant officers, rushed to the command post in great strides, and saw Nie Zheng sitting leisurely behind the desk drinking tea at the moment. ”

"Excuse me!"

Nie Zheng laughed and said, "Niu Meng, I haven't seen you for two months, but I didn't expect you to turn a lot whiter now." ”

Being praised by Nie Zheng like this, Niu Meng was a little embarrassed, and immediately smiled awkwardly: "Hehe...... These days, the rain is heavy, and the subordinates have been nesting in the barracks all day and have not seen the sun much, which makes the handsome smile. By the way, Dashuai, before his subordinates rushed to the south bank, they had already ordered someone to be given a table of wine and food, specially for Dashuai to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and asked Dashuai to move there. ”

Nie Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, wait for us to have a few more drinks and catch up on the old days." ”

With that, Nie Zheng walked out of the fortress command post quickly with the support of Niu Meng and others.

"Congratulations!"

"I'm waiting to send you off! ……”

Under the gifts of a group of officers and soldiers, Nie Zheng and the others went straight to the legion headquarters a few miles away.

………………

In the evening, the wind and rain gradually subsided, but the night fell quietly.

In the huge corps barracks, a group of lights was brightly lit and guards were standing.

In the depths of the barracks, there is a spacious courtyard, which is the office of the regiment commander Niu Meng, and it is also his resting place.

In Niu Meng's bedroom, there was a sumptuous banquet, and there were only two people on the table, Niu Meng and Nie Zheng.

The two sat across the table.

After some laughter and chatting, after being full of wine and food, Nie Zheng gently picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at Niu Meng's slightly drunk appearance with a flushed face, and quipped: "I didn't expect to see you for two months, your alcohol consumption has decreased so much, three pots of soju were not enough for you to appetize before, but today the two of us only drank a total of two pots of jade ice roast, and we are about to drink you." ”

Niu Meng burped, and said with a smile: "The marshal doesn't know, since you appointed me as the commander of the Fourth Army last time, in order to strictly enforce military discipline, I haven't drunk for almost two months, if you don't come back today, I won't dare to drink, otherwise, if Uncle Yi knows, he will definitely reprimand me heavily." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he said secretly: "I really didn't expect that Yi Zixuan would be so strict in governing military discipline, but this is fine, the army should be like the army, if these soldiers are drinking and gambling in the barracks all day long, what is the difference between it and when they were mountain bandits in Longhu Mountain before." It seems that during the time he left Annan, he really kept Yi Zixuan busy, he was not only the deputy commander of Annan, but also responsible for training 100,000 recruits, hey...... When I return to the city this time, I will definitely thank him well. ”

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng was thinking in his heart, after returning to the city, what should he reward Yi Zixuan with.

Seeing that Nie Zheng was suddenly silent, Niu Meng knew that he was thinking about things, so he stopped talking to disturb him.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Zheng suddenly asked, "During my absence, what major events happened to Annan?" ”

Niu Meng thought for a while and said, "There is no big event, but half a month ago, the imperial court sent a secret envoy to cross the river, but I drove him away." ”

"Emissary?"

Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the imperial court sending a secret envoy to do, do you want to recruit us?" ”

Niu Meng nodded and said: "It is said that the secret envoy is a second-grade minister of the imperial court, he crossed the river last time, saying that he was going to come to Annan on the order of the emperor to give the gift, I informed Uncle Yi and Lord Jia of this matter, they said that the matter is very important, since the marshal is not in Annan, only wait for the marshal to return and then discuss, so I asked me to drive the secret envoy of the court back." ”

After listening, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, and then asked, "In addition to this matter, are there other things?" ”

Niu Meng shook his head and said, "No." ”

"How is Ruby doing?"

"Miss has been in good spirits recently, but her body and bones are a little weak, and she must have done great damage to her last time."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's heart was gloomy for a while, he sighed slightly, and said, "It's all my fault, if she hadn't saved me, she wouldn't have fallen to such a point." Forget it, it's not too early, I have to rush back to Yangzhou City as soon as possible......"
