The commander of the first army of Tianguan's guards is also considered to be loyal, he also didn't sleep all night, and was consolidating the fortifications of Tianguan, and got a report that Zheng Ti had an urgent order from the general to tell him, and he was wondering why the general would send Zheng Ti to give an order, but he still went to meet Zheng Ti, because Zheng Ti didn't bring many people, so he went to see him with confidence. The dragon, Zeng Zhaoli and the others were killed quietly.

At this time, most of the soldiers in Tianguan City are still asleep, and they don't know that the change has been born, Zheng Ti solved the defender generals, and immediately led the elite soldiers to the Tianguan City Tower, such a big action will of course attract people's attention, but now the general trend has been decided, and no emergency horn was heard, everyone didn't care, and continued to sleep, Zheng Ti and Yingxue rushed to the Tianguan City Tower, telling the defenders that they were here to change the guard, of course the defenders didn't believe it, and asked for the commander's warrant, but Zheng Ti and Yingxue did not hesitate at all, and immediately killed the leader of the defenders, and the rest of the people saw this situation and obediently withdrew, when Zheng Ti took over the strategic position of the city towerAfter the rest of the people were woken up, they found that they had become prisoners under the stairs, and the general trend had gone, and when they saw this situation, they had no choice but to surrender, of course, a few diehards could only be corrected on the spot.

After Yingxue ordered Zheng Ti to send the troops to Xiongling Pass to be handed over to Ma or guard, he ordered Zheng Ti to immediately start renovating the troops, and he immediately rushed to the palace of the northern capital to meet Wang Zhuo. told Wang Zhuo about the battle at night, and Wang Zhuo was of course very happy when he heard it. In the battle last night, he was also worried. Seeing Yingxue come back safely today, I was relieved.

"General Wang, I don't know how many troops we have now to put into battle? I plan to immediately take Lai Rong's Qingjian City and Zhu Xiaochun's Mianzhong City. Yingxue didn't want to be polite with Wang Zhuo, now the situation was urgent, and the opportunity was lost, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he asked Wang Zhuo directly.

"Well, although we have the strength of five corps, we can only use three corps for the time being. The troops of the other two armies are still being trained, and if they are forced to be withdrawn, they can probably draw the strength of 120,000 troops of the three armies, I wonder what the general means?" Wang Zhuo asked tentatively.

"This is also a way to do it, we can only take a risk, if the news that Zhu Xiaochun and Lai Rong were wiped out by us leaks out, the other enemy troops will definitely take advantage of the situation and sit back and enjoy the success, since we only have the strength of three armies. Then I had to bring it all out, my plan is like this......" Yingxue explained her plan to Wang Zhuo in detail, and Wang Zhuo kept nodding his head.

"Yes, General. I immediately dispatched the troops of Zhang Luo, Li Li, Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming to Tianguan immediately, while Lu Qi and I continued to defend here. Wang Zhuo immediately began to move troops.

After Wang Zhuo gave the order, Yingxue also said goodbye to Wang Zhuo. Now is not the time to talk about merit, it is necessary to get ahead of other enemies. Take over all the turf of Lai Rong and Zhu Xiaochun, otherwise. Late will change.

Ying Xue used the magic array to return to Tianguan before Zhang Luo, Li Li and the others, this back and forth has taken a lot of time, and after Ying Xue came back, she immediately met with Zheng Ti.

Zheng Ti told Yingxue that he had already repaired the troops, and the insufficient soldiers had been drawn from the horses or places to fill up, and the strength of an army was full, and he could enter the battle at any time, Yingxue did not say anything else, and asked Zheng Ti to find Zhu Xiaochun's corpse and be sure to find his token. Then, he rushed to Xiongling Pass to call Ma or find Lai Rong's body, and found his token, Yingxue told Ma or to do a good job of surrendering troops, and not to cause mutiny, and to ask Ma or Xiongling Pass to be martial law, no one is allowed to go out, because there will be a big military operation soon, and there will be a large army from Xiongling Pass to Guò, and the stability of the rear will all depend on Ma or management. After Ying Xue and Ma or said goodbye, they brought Lai Rong's body and tokens back to Tianguan.

After Yingxue found Zheng Ti, seeing that the things on both sides had been found, the two found Tang Bin, and after explaining a few words, they hurried away with Zheng Ti.

Yingxue and Zheng Ti came to Mianzhong City with Zhu Xiaochun's token, first told the defenders that General Zhu had taken over Tianguan smoothly, but Lai Rong was unwilling to fail, and was about to attack Tianguan immediately, the big war was imminent, due to the lack of troops in Tianguan, General Zhu ordered all the troops, except for leaving the necessary defensive forces, all to Tianguan, because Lai Rong's troops were about to attack Tianguan, General Zhu had decided to fight to the death with Lai Rong in front of Tianguan, after hearing the order, he saw Zhu Xiaochun's token, Zhu Xiaochun's troops did not hesitate to mobilize immediately, ready to go to Tianguan。 Zheng Ti added that Lai Rong had received news that he might set up an ambush on the road, and that all army commanders must be careful to guard against it, and if there is an enemy, they must destroy them all halfway.

After Yingxue and Zheng Wei handed over the token to the defenders of Mianzhong City, they immediately took their leave and rushed back to Tianguan, and the defenders of Mianzhong City did not suspect it, because General Zhu's token was genuine, and no one could afford to disobey the military order. And after Yingxue and Zheng Ti got out of Mianzhong City, they immediately rushed to Qingjian City, and it was the same old saying, using Lai Rong's token, sending troops to support Tianguan, the geographical location of Tianguan Everyone knows, if Tianguan is lost, then there will be no place in the three northern provinces, see the general's token, the defenders in Qingjian City did not dare to slack off, and immediately led the troops to support Tianguan. As soon as the matter was done, after Ying Xue and Zheng Ti left Qingjian City, they opened the magic array and returned to Tianguan.

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 asked the troops to stand by in Tianguan City, and he dived alone to observe, just like Ying Xue's plan, Zhu Xiaochun's troops and Lai Rong's troops were inseparable. Coincidentally, both sides have similar troops. The strength of the three armies, the battlefield is in front of the dragon trail on an open field. Because both sides have been ordered, seeing that the enemy army must be wiped out, so the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and wanted to invite themselves to take credit when they arrived at the Tianguan, as long as they could win, no matter how many soldiers' lives he sacrificed, as long as they could win, so both sides spared no effort to fight, wanting to put the opponent to death and then quickly.

Eagle Snow observed for a while. Seeing that both sides were almost consumed, 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 had already fought for a few left, and Yingxue and others disarmed all the soldiers on both sides without much effort. There was only one way to surrender, and after Yingxue disarmed all the surrendered troops, it was still divided into Zhu Xiaochun's old department and Lai Rong's old department, and Zhu Xiaochun's department was monitored by Yingxue, Zhang Luo, and Zheng Ti. Towards Lai Rong's Qingjian City, while Lai Rong's old department was monitored by Zhou Ming, Yang Yuhai, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, Li Li, Tang Bin and others, and rushed to Mianzhong City.

Ying Xue rushed to Qingjian City. Hide the army first, and plan to open the city gate by Yingxue and Zheng for the two. The defenders did not suspect that Zheng Ti had opened the city gates. 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, the strength of the two armies, 80,000 people rushed towards Qingjian City, the defenders in the city had already been transferred out by Yingxue, the defenders in the city, at most 20,000 people, and they were old, weak, sick and disabled, in defenseless, Yingxue suddenly attacked, there was no will to fight at all, Zheng Ti and Zhang Luo's army quickly attacked Qingjian City, and immediately occupied the strategic position, and all the troops were controlled, after confirming that Qingjian City had been occupied, Yingxue hurriedly confessed to Zhang Luo and Zheng Tie a few words, and hurried to Mianzhong City, what he is most concerned about now is whether Mianzhong City has been handed down.

Sure enough, when Yingxue arrived at Mianzhong City, Tang Bin and others were blocking the gate of Mianzhong City, although there were few defenders left in the city, but the defenders refused to go out of the city to surrender, and Tang Bin and others were unwilling to attack, so 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. Due to the wide area occupied by Lai Rong, Yingxue rushed to Qingjian City before leaving. Yingxue asked Tang Bin to take over Mianzhong City and rectify the defense. The rest of the troops continued to attack in depth, mainly to lure them down. Armed attacks should be supplemented, especially when it comes to surrendering troops, it is necessary to be moved with affection and reason, and we must not slack off the surrender of troops, intensifying contradictions, and causing 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 Ying Xue finished explaining a qiē thing. rushed to Qingjian City.

The situation in Qingjian City is even worse than that of Mianzhong City, because Qingjian City is after fighting, and the people in the city did not expect the battle to be so fast, they didn't have time to flee at all, they thought that the new army entering the city would also be like the previous ones, burning, looting, and massacring, therefore. There was some resistance among the people of the city, but they soon discovered that the army was not as robbing them of their belongings as they had imagined. On the contrary, a notice was also posted to restore the positions of officials in the city, and things went on as usual. And send soldiers to patrol and protect them. In case someone takes advantage of the fire to rob, like this. The hearts of the common people were slowly relaxed.

The next thing is much easier, because Lai Rong has already withdrawn the main force, and the rest are small cities, there are not many people stationed at all, and there are also soldiers who show up, these small cities are basically received peacefully, and the Yingxue army encountered some sporadic resistance, however, the army received all Lai Rong's cities within two days with an overwhelming advantage, and all the defending generals in the city were replaced, while the soldiers were still retained, but some of the reputable Capable newcomers come up, these newcomers are flattered, of course they swear allegiance to Wang Zhuo, in fact, as long as they are used properly, there is no need to carry out a comprehensive change of defense at all, after all, the battle line is too long, and there are not many available troops in Yingxue's hands, if you don't make good use of these troops, you can't take over at all, of course, these are some small cities, for important strategic locations, Yingxue will not arrange them like this, and no one from the original generals knows where they went, however, this is an extraordinary period, of course, you need to use extraordinary means。

Yingxue saw that the task had been completed, and still returned to Qingjian City with his troops, after all, this is an important pass, and it must be heavily guarded, as Yingxue expected, the dragoon general Xiang Cone Yu Yingxue captured Qingjian City The day after the day, he did not dare to attack rashly, he discussed with the ministers for a day, and then ordered the 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 man's strength is now compared to ours, we have a complete advantage, he only has a defensive part now. Where do you dare to take the initiative to attack us. Still, I'm a little worried. If you integrate the surrender of troops from army to army and from army to place, won't you be worried? This will easily lead to a military mutiny. After all, there are still some shadows in the hearts of the descending army, and it is not easy to control!" Wang Zhuo said with some concern.

"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 build up their confidence, if it really doesn't work, I can only distribute and mix these surrendered troops with other armies, of course this is not what I think. 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 by condemning them to slavery or killing them all, because these surrendered soldiers not only consume food. Moreover, they could not participate in the battle, and if they were to join the army, if they took the opportunity to cause chaos, the consequences would be unimaginable. This has happened many times in history and has had a very bad impact, 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 loose sand, as long as they are properly used. It shouldn't be a big problem, I am going to use 10 days to put all the troops in order, in our original troops, to promote a group of new people with combat merits, to replace the incompetent people who are ineffective in the battle, of course, the four brigade commanders in the army are selected by us, and the grass-roots officers below the brigade commander will use the method of voluntary registration and competition to select a group of grass-roots officers, so that not only can stabilize the morale of the army, but also let the soldiers themselves feel that as long as they have the ability, they can be promoted, let them manage themselves, wouldn't it be much better than us to manage them, and it will not cause dissatisfaction with the surrender of troops, and then, it will depend on the help of our opponent, the dragoon general Xiang Cone. 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 to do or not to do, as long as you do it, you will know, anyway, we are fine, it will be regarded as refining the army, what do you say, Brother Wang?" asked Ying Xue with a smile.

"Okay, you can make your own decision about this matter, 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 Ying Xue's plan, but since Ying Xue said so, he naturally had his reasons, not to mention, this may 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 as many as 75 registration points for the captain, but there are only five registration offices for the lieutenant and 20 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 commander 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, however, there is only one chance to choose, and it is not a semi-final system, everyone is relatively cautious and does what they can.

The registration work was quite simple, and it didn't take long for it to be over, and almost all the people of the entire Seventh Army signed up, including the 100 people who had just signed up for others.

Yingxue also felt a headache, and he and Tang Bin, After Zeng Zhaoli and the four brigade commanders discussed, it was decided to select the captain first, and then the captain and the brigade commander would select the commander of each army, and finally select the commander of each pawn, Zeng Zhaoli and the four brigade commanders are supervised at any time, favoritism is strictly prohibited, now the opportunity is so good, and it is fought for by strength, and they are all new officers in office, of course, they have to establish prestige, so the whole test process is very fair, there are no candidates who only complain about their own lives, but they still have a chance, that is, the school guards and the military chief will also set up deputy positions, Yingxue has issued the order, and it is also selected by the registration self-recommendation, and everyone is not much disappointed, they are 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. (To be continued......)
