At this time, Tang Bin was already in full swing, and Zhang Luo, Li Li, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, Yang Yuhai, and Zhou Ming of the Northern Capital had also arrived at Tianguan, Yingxue divided the strength of the four armies into two groups, leaving a brigade of troops to defend Tianguan, and told Ma or to pay attention to the movements of Tianguan at any time, and the rest of the departments were immediately ready to go out of the city to take over Mianzhong City and Qingjian City.

Ying Xue let the troops stand by in Tianguan City, and dived alone to observe, just like Ying Xue's plan, Zhu Xiaochun's troops and Lai Rong's troops are fighting inseparably, it is also a coincidence, the strength of both sides is about the same, the strength of the three armies, the battlefield is in front of the Longjing Pass on an open field, because both sides have been ordered, see the enemy must be wiped out, so the two sides fought extremely fiercely, want to rush to Tianguan to invite themselves to take credit, as long as they can win, no matter how many soldiers' lives he sacrifices, as long as they can win, so both sides spare no effort to fight, want to put the opponent to death and then quickly。

Ying Xue observed for a while, and saw that both sides were almost consumed, so he returned to Tianguan and immediately asked Zheng Ti and others to take the people of the headquarters with him to receive Mianzhong City and Qingjian City.

When Yingxue took Zhang Luo, Li Li, Liu Linfeng and others to Longjingkou, Zhu Xiaochun and Lai Rong's men and horses on both sides had already fought hard, Yingxue and others did not have much effort to disarm all the soldiers on both sides, then the people on both sides knew that Yingxue's big dang, but now the general trend has gone, it is too late, since the situation is not as good as others, there is only one way to surrender, Yingxue disarmed all the troops, and it is still divided into Zhu Xiaochun's old department and Lai Rong's old department, Zhu Xiaochun's department consists of Yingxue, Zhang Luo, Zheng monitored the three people. Towards Lai Rong's Qingjian City, Lai Rong's old department was monitored by Zhou Ming, Yang Yuhai, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, Li Li, and Tang Bin. Rush to Mianzhong City.

Yingxue rushed to Qingjian City and hid the army first. Intended to be opened by Yingxue and Zheng Ti, the defenders were Zheng Ti did not suspect it, opened the city gate, Zheng Ti and Yingxue entered Qingjian City with more than 100 elite soldiers, and when the defenders were unprepared, they quickly controlled the city gate, and at the same time issued a signal to attack, and the strength of the two armies, 80,000 people rushed towards Qingjian City. The defenders in the city have been all transferred out by Yingxue, and the defenders in the city are only 20,000 at most, and they are still old, weak, sick and disabled. After making sure that Qingjian City had been occupied, Yingxue hurriedly explained a few words to Zhang Luo and Zheng Ti, and hurried to Mianzhong City. What he is most concerned about now is whether Mianzhong City has been successfully obtained.

Sure enough, when Yingxue arrived at Mianzhong City, Tang Bin and the others were blocking the city gate of Mianzhong City, although. There are very few defenders left in the city, but. The defenders refused to go out of the city and surrender, and Tang Bin and others were unwilling to attack. Therefore, the two sides were deadlocked in front of Mianzhong City.

When Tang Bin and the others saw Yingxue's arrival, they knew that Yingxue had already taken Qingjian City, but they didn't expect Yingxue's speed to take Qingjian City so quickly, Tang Bin and the others were really embarrassed.

In front of Yingxue, Tang Bin and others strongly demanded that the city be forcibly attacked immediately, and it was necessary to take Mianzhong City, Yingxue did not agree with Tang Bin and others' opinions, he still advocated to lure and surrender, after all, the massacre was dry, he asked Tang Bin and others to send Zhu Xiaochun's body to the city, and spread the word to Mianzhong City, as long as the defenders in the city are willing to surrender, they can be spared death, and everyone can rejoin the new army, otherwise, the army forcibly attacked the city, it will be ruined, and countless casualties will be killed.

As soon as the defenders in the city saw Zhu Xiaochun's corpse, they were already in turmoil, and the conditions offered by Yingxue were not bad, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides was huge, Zhu Xiaochun had also died in battle, and he couldn't be loyal to him, and more importantly, they were powerless to resist Yingxue's army, if they forcibly attacked the city, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the defenders in the city decided to open the city and surrender after discussion.

Tang Bin and the others saw that they could take Mianzhong City without spending a single soldier, they were really a little sweaty, and they were ready to use the lives of thousands of soldiers to forcibly capture Mianzhong City, who knew that Yingxue actually relied on a dead corpse and a few words to let the defenders of Mianzhong City obediently open the city and surrender, they asked themselves if they were capable of doing it, and they couldn't help but admire Yingxue more and more.

After Yingxue and others entered the city, after all the defenders of the original Mianzhong City were withdrawn, they quickly received armaments and materials and obtained a large amount of food, and then Yingxue began to reorganize and reorganize all the troops into the army of Li Li and Liu Linfeng and Xie Hao, and at the same time, it was strictly forbidden for the sergeants to make trouble and disturb the people, and send troops to maintain order in the city to prevent people from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and if anyone disobeyed the order, he would be killed!

Yingxue didn't stay in Mianzhong City for long, and after arranging a qiē, he continued to send a large force to attack in depth, and ordered everyone to be sure to receive all the cities occupied by Zhu Xiaochun within these two days, otherwise, it would be worth the loss if someone took advantage of it. Because Lai Rong occupies a wider area, so Yingxue rushed to Qingjian City, before leaving, Yingxue asked Tang Bin to take over Mianzhong City, rectify the defense, and the rest of the troops continued to attack in depth, mainly to lure surrender, supplemented by armed attacks, especially to the surrender of the army to move with affection, know the reason, not to slack off the surrender of the army, intensify the contradictions, so as to cause civil strife. Yingxue's order made the soldiers feel a lot more at ease, they thought that they were going to be sentenced to slavery, but they didn't expect that they could really continue to stay in the army. After Yingxue finished explaining the matter, she rushed to Qingjian City.

The situation in Qingjian City is even worse than that of Mianzhong City, because Qingjian City has been fought, and the people in the city did not expect the battle to proceed so quickly, they simply did not have time to escape, they thought that the new army entering the city would also be like those previous armies, burning, looting, and massacring, so the people in the city still had some resistance, but they soon found that this army did not rob their property as they imagined, but also posted a notice to reinstate the officials in the city, and things went on as usual, and sent soldiers to patrol to protect them in case someone took advantage of the fire to rob, so that in this way, the heart that the people were hanging on slowly let go.

The next thing is much easier, because Lai Rong has already withdrawn the main force, and the rest are small towns. There weren't many people stationed at all, and there were also troopers who showed up. These small towns were basically peaceful, and the Eagle Snow army encountered some sporadic resistance. However, with an overwhelming advantage, the army took over all Lai Rong's cities within two days, and replaced all the generals defending the city, while the soldiers were still retained, but some reputable and capable newcomers were promoted, and these newcomers were flattered, of course, they swore allegiance to Wang Zhuo, in fact, as long as they were used properly. There is no need for a comprehensive change of defense at all, after all, the battle line is too long, and Yingxue does not have many available troops in his hands, if he doesn't make good use of these troops, he can't take over at all, of course, these are some small cities, for important strategic locations, Yingxue will not arrange it like this. And none of the original generals knew where they went, but this was an extraordinary time, and of course extraordinary means were needed.

Eagle Snow sees that the mission has been completed. still returned to Qingjian City with his troops, after all, this is an important pass and must be heavily guarded. As Yingxue expected, the dragoon general Xiang Cone got the news the day after Yingxue captured Qingjian City. But he did not dare to attack rashly, and he consulted with his advisers for a day. Only then did he gather his soldiers and horses to kill Qingjian City, and took advantage of the fire to rob and make a big profit. However, he had lost the best opportunity, at this time Yingxue had already received all the cities of Lai Rong, and after he got the news, he immediately returned to Qingjian City, and saw that Qingjian City was well defended, so he had to lead his troops to retreat. Xiang Cone was a little unwilling, and led troops to Mianzhong City, and found that it was also heavily defended, he couldn't understand how Wang Zhuo could take over all the territory of Zhu Xiaochun and Lai Rong in just two days, but he knew that if he forcibly attacked the city, he would definitely be the one who suffered, so he had to lead the troops back in vain.

After Yingxue retreated to the cone, he immediately set off to Tianguan, preparing to return to the northern capital to see Wang Zhuo, Yingxue had the help of the magic array, the speed was very fast, it didn't take long to rush to the northern capital, and after seeing Wang Zhuo, he told him the news of the great victory, Wang Zhuo was of course very happy after hearing it, but he didn't expect that Yingxue had already eliminated Gao Yuanhao, Zhu Xiaochun and Lai Rong, the three forces that posed the greatest threat to him, and also fully took over their territory, and the unification of the three northern provinces was just around the corner, how could Wang Zhuo not be excited.

Yingxue brought up the old matter again, and asked Wang Zhuo to be the marshal, of course, Wang Zhuo resigned, because, this marshal had to let Yingxue be, Yingxue couldn't resist him, so he had to say to him that after the three northern provinces were completely unified, then discuss this matter, and now the top priority is to immediately start rectifying the army, and he is ready to set up a new army, that is, the Seventh Army. The surrendered army in the three cities of Mianzhong City and Qingjian City adds up to only about 40,000 people, which can be made into an army, this seventh army, Yingxue decided to be led by Tang Bin and Zeng Zhaoli, Wang Zhuo of course agreed, Yingxue's ability and vision He still has something to doubt.

Ying Xue saw that Wang Zhuo agreed, so she said to him: "Since Brother Wang agrees, then I will go back and prepare to implement it, now we are not very stable, Dragoon General Xiang Cone is still ready to come to pick up the bargain today, but unfortunately he came too late, otherwise we will suffer some losses." ”

"I'm not too worried about Xiang Cone, this person's strength is now compared to ours, we have a complete advantage, he only has the defense now, where does he dare to take the initiative to attack us. However, I am still a little worried, if you integrate the surrender of troops from army to army, don't you worry! This will easily lead to a military mutiny, after all, there are still some shadows in the heart of the surrendered army, and it is not easy to control!" Wang Zhuo said with some worry.

"I have also considered this issue, but now the shape is not stable, and if we carry out a large-scale mobilization of troops, it will not only be easy to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, but also affect our own military morale. However, now that the overall situation has basically been decided, I am ready to spend 20 days to a month to carry out military reorganization, gradually remove the shadow in their hearts, and let them build up their confidence. Yingxue also said helplessly, this task is not easy, and it is very serious.

"Then how are you going to proceed?" Wang Zhuo asked puzzledly, it has always been to deal with the surrendered soldiers to be sentenced to slavery or kill them all, because these surrendered soldiers not only consume food, but also cannot participate in the battle, if the surrendered soldiers are mixed into the army, in case they take the opportunity to make trouble. The consequences are unimaginable, and this has happened many times in history. It also caused a very bad effect, so this problem. Wang Zhuo had to be cautious.

"This brother Wang doesn't have to worry too much, these troops have lost their commanders, they are like a plate of scattered sand, as long as the control is properly used, it should not be a big problem, I am ready to use ten days to rectify all the troops, in our original troops, promote a group of new people with combat merits, and replace the incompetent people who are not effective in battle. Of course, we selected the four brigade commanders in the surrender army, and the grass-roots officers below the brigade commander level selected a group of grass-roots officers by voluntarily signing up for a competition, so that not only could the morale of the troops be stabilized, but also the troops themselves would feel that they could be promoted as long as they were able, and it would not be much better for them to manage themselves than if we managed them, and it would not arouse the dissatisfaction of the troops. Then, it's up to our opponent, the dragoon general, Mr. Xiang Cone, for help. Yingxue said confidently.

"Could it be that Yingxue already has a clever plan?" Wang Zhuo saw Yingxue's expression like this, and knew that he already had a good plan.

"I also came up with this plan after you reminded me just now, and it looks like this......" Ying Xue whispered to Wang Zhuo.

"Is this okay!?" Wang Zhuo asked in surprise.

"There is nothing that can be done or cannot be done. As long as you do it, you will know, and we will be fine anyway. It's like refining the army, you say. Brother Wang?" asked Yingxue with a smile.

"Okay, you can make up your own mind. Anyway, as you said, it should be regarded as refining the troops!" Wang Zhuo smiled, shook his head and said, he really didn't agree with Yingxue's plan, but since Yingxue said so, he naturally had his reasons, not to mention, this might be the best way.

After Yingxue said goodbye to Wang Zhuo, he returned to Tianguan, and he asked Ma He to select four brigade commanders from the army and appoint them as the brigade commanders of the Seventh Army.

Tang Bin and Zeng Zhaoli did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to Tianguan with their troops, and after Zeng Zhaoli and Tang Bin arrived, Yingxue transferred the special guards in Zeng Zhaoli's hands, that is, the three hundred brothers in the cottage, to Wang Zhuo's side, and made every effort to protect Wang Zhuo's safety. Then Yingxue all the troops were brought to the exercise ground of Xiongling Pass, Yingxue stood on the stage and announced Wang Zhuo's appointment, Zeng Zhaoli and Tang Bin were appointed as the commanders of the Seventh Army, and the four brigade commanders in the horse or army were introduced to the people in the army.

After he announced the appointment, he continued to announce Wang Zhuo's order: "Everyone, in view of the special situation of the Seventh Army, the captains, captains, and captains in the army are all self-recommended by the officers and men, and those above the captains must be selected in combination with actual combat and theory, and the captains and commanders are selected by the competition. (Note: The army is organized as follows: 40,000 men in one army, 10,000 men in each brigade in four brigades of one army, ten lieutenants under each brigade, each lieutenant with 1,000 men, 10 corps under the lieutenant, each captain with 100 men, and 10 pawns under the corps, and each captain with 10 men.) ）

Hearing such a strange order, the soldiers looked at each other, what kind of order is this, such a rule has never been heard of, and everyone began to talk about each other.

Ying Xue saw that although no one had come up to sign up for the time being, the soldiers had already swept away the malaise just now, and they had become more energetic and active.

At this time, a strong man walked to the registration point and signed up for the position of captain, Yingxue immediately pulled him to the stage when he saw this, "Everyone, this self-recommended captain position, now the brigade commander of the first brigade has appointed him as the first commander, you can't miss the opportunity, everyone, we are not joking, if you want to sign up, hurry up." ”

Seeing that the soldiers below can be promoted so easily, everyone hurriedly rushed towards the registration office, Yingxue saw that several brigade commanders were too busy, and urgently ordered to stop the registration immediately, and let the soldiers go back to their original places, and the new captain of the army selected a hundred soldiers from the crowd as his subordinates, set up a hundred registration points, and then let him be responsible for the registration matters, and divided the registration points into three places, one for the lieutenant registration office, one for the captain registration office, and the other peripheral for the pawn commander registration office. Of course, there are up to seventy-five registration points for the chief of the pawn. There are only five registration offices for the lieutenant and twenty registration offices for the captain. Everyone saw that General Wang Zhuo's order turned out to be such an immediate effect. The big man just now, as soon as he signed up, he immediately became the captain of the army. Everyone felt a little regretful, why didn't they have the courage to sign up just now, but now there are still thousands of places, so everyone is vying to sign up, but there is only one chance to choose, and it is not a semi-final system, everyone is relatively cautious and does what they can.

It's pretty easy to sign up. It didn't take long for it to end, and almost all the people of the entire Seventh Army had registered, including the 100 people who had just signed up for others, and if such an opportunity was missed, it would never be again.

Ying Xue also felt a headache, and after discussing with Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli and the four brigade commanders, he decided to select the captain first, and then the captain and the brigade commander would then select the commander of each army, and finally select the commander of each pawn. After making up her mind, Yingxue immediately began to arrange the selection of the captain, first by drawing lots, and then by theoretical oral examination. In the end, the brigade commanders of each brigade and Tang Bin and Zeng Zhaoli selected 40 outstanding students, and each brigade selected 10 captains. The brigade commanders of each brigade are responsible for selecting the commander and the commander, of course, the process is supervised by Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli and the four brigade commanders at any time. Favoritism is strictly prohibited, and now the opportunity is so good. It is fought for by strength, and they are all new officials, of course, they have to establish their prestige, so the whole test process is very fair, and those who are not selected only complain about their own lives, but they still have a chance, that is, the school guards and Wu Chiefs will also set up deputy positions, Yingxue has issued the order, and it is also selected by self-recommendation, and everyone is not much disappointed, they are all secretly determined, ready to impact the next opportunity.

After the selection work was completed, Yingxue divided all the soldiers into four groups, and each of the four brigade commanders selected one group, so that the placement of the troops was basically successfully completed, which had consumed Yingxue for three days.

Yingxue told Zeng Zhaoli and the four new brigade commanders that they would train immediately, and they might soon be put into battle, and they were asked to step up, and then they took Tang Bin to Qingjian City, Qingjian City was guarded by the troops of Zheng Ti and Zhang Luo, Yingxue explained a few words to Zheng Ti and Tang Bin, and asked Zheng Ti and Tang Bin to immediately drive their troops to Mianzhong City to replace Li Li, Yang Yuhai, Xie Hao, Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming, and ordered the troops of the army under the jurisdiction of Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming to rush to Qingjian City immediately.

The first thing Zhang Luo said when he saw Yingxue in Qingjian City was that Gao Yuanhao's troops were too difficult to control, and they couldn't be mobilized at all. Dejected, the next order is also Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, if it weren't for Ying Xue's order first, he would have slaughtered all these surrendered soldiers, Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming also felt the same way, those surrendered soldiers are not like soldiers at all, where can such an army fight, fortunately, there has been no major war recently, otherwise, they will definitely run away, and they still want to count on them to fight, just don't help.

After hearing this, Yingxue smiled and told Li Li, Zhou Ming, and Liu Linfeng that this time, he was here to solve this problem, so that Zhou Ming and Liu Linfeng did not need to worry, but he ordered Zhang Luo to take back their own two brigades.

When Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming heard this, they immediately shouted, in this way, what else is this commander of theirs doing, although there are 40,000 soldiers under his command, but the entire army commander is a bare pole, and Zhang Luo heard Yingxue's order, and immediately prepared to go out to start arranging, the strength of the two brigades under Gao Yuanhao is really a burden to him, he has long wanted to lose it, he seems to have forgotten that he himself is also a military commander under Gao Yuanhao, at the beginning, he was also Meng Yingxue did not give up, so he has today.

Ying Xue saw Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming's expressions like this, which he had already expected, so he repeated his old trick and told his remediation plan, and told Zhang Luo and Zhou Ming. Liu Linfeng and the others, Zhang Luo and the others were still a little suspicious after hearing this, but when they heard that Zeng Zhaoli and Tang Bin had succeeded, they were convinced, because Tang Bin and Zheng Wei had rushed to Mianzhong City, and the two of them must also be going to rectify the surrender of troops, since it was so effective, Zeng Zhaoli and Zhou Ming decided to start immediately, and they selected four brigade commanders from Zhang Luo's army according to Yingxue's instructions, and started Yingxue's plan.

Sure enough, as Yingxue said, there was a cold scene at the beginning, but soon everyone understood. This selection is indeed real, and it is very, very true. The results were immediate, as everyone saw the results right away. Seeing this situation, some of the soldiers in Zhang Luo's army were eager to try and wanted to sign up for the selection, but Zhang Luo immediately stopped everyone, because he also had to select a group of grassroots officers, and the soldiers and officers who were outstanding in this battle must also be prepared to be promoted.

A qiē is progressing quite smoothly. However, the busiest thing these days is Yingxue, he has to keep going back and forth to Mianzhong City and Qingjian City, and resolve conflicts and disputes in time, however, because both sides are going on at the same time, it only took three days, and every qiē was successfully completed.

After the completion of the first qiē, Yingxue gave the seven corps five days to train and repair. Because there was a new mission to do in five days, the armies were excited when they heard that there was going to be a new battle to take part in, especially the three new armies. It is even more exciting, because in such an army, as long as there is ability. Fought bravely and made military achievements. It's not a problem to get promoted, it's much more promising than in your original army. So, instead, they are full of anticipation.

Yingxue didn't pay attention to these, he was too tired these days, and needed to rest well, he started the magic array and returned to the northern capital, and rested for five days, Wang Zhuo knew that Yingxue was too tired for a while, and also told his subordinates not to disturb him, and everyone knew that Yingxue was Wang Zhuo's henchman and guard, and now he was so red and purple, it was too late for him to stammer, where would he dare to disturb his rest, and the happiest was the dragon and Xiaotian, Xiaoniao, A few birds, Yingxue rested, they also had a holiday, Wang Zhuo has the protection of the special guards, Xiaotian they don't have to worry anymore, now almost the entire three northern provinces, they can wander around, which pass guards don't know them, especially, they are in the palace of the northern capital after the war, with the power of six people, they actually killed 20,000 people, Yingxue's name is needless to say, and Xiaotian, the red spirit beast, invulnerable, invincible, can be said to be widely praised in the army, almost everyone knows Xiaotian, however, Xiaotian and others rarely go to the city, the three northern provinces are desolate, the area is very wide, Xiaotian and others are playing on the mountains almost every day。

On the morning of the fifth day, Yingxue came to Wang Zhuo, Wang Zhuo has not rested these days, but as a general, the supreme commander of the entire three northern provinces, he does not need to do ordinary things, he is only responsible for the management and transfer of officers above the brigade commander, as well as strategic defense and strategic offensive.

Seeing that Yingxue was coming, Wang Zhuo hurriedly asked him to sit down, seeing that Yingxue was full of energy, Wang Zhuo knew that Yingxue had recovered as before, and the purpose of coming to him was definitely to take action.

"Brother Wang, looking at your sad face, could it be that you have encountered something difficult?" Ying Xue saw Wang Zhuo frowning, and knew that he must have encountered something difficult to solve.

"Alas, it's not some folk trivialities, after the military control, some trivial matters of the common people are not taken care of, their opinions are quite big, and they actually came to me, it turned out that when Tianguan was over, I could still solve some of them, and now the area is so large, where can I manage it, it's really annoying!" Wang Zhuo said complainingly.

"Of course, a person's energy is limited after all, why don't you just follow my method in the army, select a few important positions, and then open selection, those with excellent grades will be appointed as magistrates, and then the local officials will appoint other officials themselves, of course, this must also be carried out in the form of open selection, in this way, you can not be freed from trivial matters, and the army can also be freed, in this way, isn't it a double win?"

"This is also a good way, tomorrow I will follow the method you said, select the northern capital to try it first, and if it is feasible, it will be fully promoted. Wang Zhuo said happily that if things went well, he wouldn't have to worry about it like this.

"However, this matter must be open, fair and just. There must be no favoritism, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Yingxue said emphatically.

"I won't be careless about this matter, I will personally catch it, these three northern provinces are our foothold, and we can't afford to lose. Wang Zhuo is also well aware of the strictness of it.

"I'm relieved that you will arrest me in person, I am ready to start acting the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow I will hold a meeting of the commanders of all armies, and I will use all the strength of the seven armies, so that everyone can temper it well, does Brother Wang still have any doubts?" Ying Xue asked Wang Zhuo.

"I also said the same thing, I'm relieved that you will arrest me in person, you go and do your job. Wang Zhuo's tone was exactly the same as Yingxue's songs.

"Hehe! You!" After hearing this, Yingxue had no choice but to smile, walked out, and went to arrange the meeting.

The next day, Zhang Luo, Zheng Ti, Ma Or, Lu Qi, Zeng Zhaoli, Yang Yuhai, Tang Bin, Zhou Ming, Xie Hao, and Liu Linfeng all rushed to Tianguan. (To be continued......)
