Zhao Chen said: "Brother Xiu, General Zhan's first division is progressing smoothly, and he has now invaded Tailai County, but General Guang's first division is now trapped in Tianmen Mountain and has not yet entered Shuangtai County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Guanglin is still in Tianmen Mountain?"

Tianmen Mountain is located in Lingnan County, between the junction of Lingnan County and Shuangtai County, the strange peaks and mountains are stacked, the terrain is steep, the army wants to travel through it, it is indeed not easy, but this aspect of the factors Shangguanxiu has taken into account, the Zhenxi army attacked the Zhenzhong area in three ways, Guanglin was the first to move, a few days in advance began to march to Shuangtai County, it stands to reason that now it will not go deep into the hinterland of Shuangtai County, at least it should pass through Tianmen Mountain.

Zhao Chen said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, looking at the brothers' returns, it was General Guang who was dragged by the bandits entrenched in Tianmen Mountain. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the territory of Tianmen Mountain, there are several bandits, General Guang thinks that in the process of crossing Tianmen Mountain, the bandits in the mountains will definitely come to attack our army, and our army should take the initiative to attack and destroy several bandits in Tianmen Mountain first. It's just that the bandits have been entrenched in Tianmen Mountain for many years, and they are familiar with every grass and tree in the mountain, and the cottages are also built in steep places, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhao Chen whispered.

"It's just nonsense!" Wu Nian coughed angrily when he heard this, and said with a red face: "The lord asked him to advance to Shuangtai County and attack the rebels, and he is good, leading the army to suppress bandits in Tianmen Mountain, regardless of the severity and delaying the battle, his heart can be punished!" The latest chapter of héiyāпgê has been updated

Dong Zhe's face changed slightly, he waved his hand to Wu Nian, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Nian, don't make up your mind so quickly, since General Guanglin chose to suppress the bandits first, he must have felt the threat of the bandits in Tianmen Mountain to him." ”

Wu Nian looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "General Zhao, did the Tianmen Mountain bandits take the initiative to attack Guanglin?"

"This ...... I haven't heard of it. ”

"So, Guanglin deduced that the bandits would attack him, either because he was too self-righteous, or because he had ulterior motives. Wu Nian said in a deep voice.

It can be said that Guanglin is the Zhenxi Army that was recommended and instigated by Dongzhe to take refuge, if Guanglin has two hearts, or if Shangguanxiu's generals disobey Yang Fengyin, Dongzhe will not escape the blame.

His face was straight, and he arched his hand to Shangguan Xiu and said, "My lord, my subordinates think that it is better to draw conclusions after the investigation is clear." ”

"The matter is already very clear, Guanglin doesn't want to lead his troops to attack Shuangtai County at all, he deliberately dragged his subordinates in Tianmen Mountain, just to facilitate him to avoid the battle openly, so as to preserve his strength, he wants to split the Zhenxi Army, and want to be the king and hegemon in Lingnan County!" Wu Nian said with a red face and a thick neck.

Dongzhe shook his head again and again, it was too hasty to assert that Guanglin had different intentions just by such a thing. "I can't agree with Mr. Wu Nian's statement. As a matter of fact, everyone should also ask themselves, have we sincerely accepted General Guanglin and his subordinates, and since General Guanglin led his troops to defect to our Zhenxi Army, have you fully trusted him! If the current commander of the army is General Zhan, will Mr. Wu Nian still say the same thing?"

Wu Nian looked directly at Dong Zhe and said word by word: "But Guanglin is not General Zhan Xiong. ”

Dongzhe shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands again, implying that you are still not right about people.

Shangguan Xiu tapped his forehead lightly, his eyes were also turning, what Wu Nian said sounded like angry words, but it was not an unreasonable and groundless accusation, of course, Dongzhe was right. After thinking about it, he said to Zhao Chen: "Zhao Chen, immediately pass a message to General Guanglin's brother in my name, and order Guanglin not to take care of the bandits in Tianmen Mountain, and immediately lead the army through Tianmen Mountain. ”

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Zhao Chen agreed and took the order. Shangguan Xiu smiled at Wu Nian and Dong Zhe and said, "If you have different opinions, you should fight on the basis of reason, but don't hurt the harmony between each other, understand?"

Wu Nian and Dong Zhe glanced at each other, and the two of them smiled in unison, and Shangguan Xiu bowed his hand in both directions, and said, "Let the adults laugh." ”

Shangguan Xiu patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Now, let's discuss the next step of the march." ”

Taking Peicheng, the Zhenxi Army is equivalent to having a foothold in Zhangwu County, and the next target is naturally Tongcheng and Hou'an.

According to the intelligence of the Dark Banner, the rebels stationed in Tongcheng and Hou'an have retreated to Pingzheng, and Li Bo, who has just taken refuge, has also confirmed this, and now, Tongcheng and Hou'an are completely empty cities.

There was nothing to say that day, and the Zhenxi army was stationed inside and outside Peicheng to rest, and selected a highly respected person from among the people of Peicheng to temporarily serve as the city lord.

Early the next morning, the Zhenxi Army left a part of its troops to garrison Peicheng, and the brigade set off with Shangguanxiu and continued to advance eastward.

The army marched a hundred miles away, and Shangguanxiu sent Liao Zheng's First Corps and Cao Lei's Second Corps as the advance army of Zhenxi's army to attack Tongcheng and Hou'an respectively.

Like the information provided by the Dark Banner, there were indeed no rebels in the two cities of Tongcheng and Hou'an, and Liao Zheng and Cao Lei took these two cities without blood.

Two days later, the main force of the Zhenxi Army led by Shangguan Xiu arrived in Hou'an City and joined Cao Lei, who was stationed in the city.

Hou'an is a big city, the scale in Zhangwu County is second only to the county seat Xijing, the people in the city are as many as two or three hundred thousand, for the entry of the Zhenxi army, the people of Hou'an welcome it.

First, compared with the rebels, the people of Zhenjun did welcome the army of the imperial court more, and second, this is also related to the benevolent government of Shangguan Xiu in Peicheng, he did not kill the people in the city, nor did he kill the people of Zhenjun who defected to the rebels, the news had already spread to Hou'an, and his practice also won him a lot of prestige and popularity.

When leading the army into the city, looking at the cheering people on both sides of the street, Shangguan Xiu smiled, rode on his horse, and he also waved to the people on both sides from time to time.

Tang Wanyun, who was walking side by side with him, looked at the crowds of people and happy people, she leaned slightly towards Shangguan Xiu's side, and asked in a low voice, "This is the effect you want, right?"

The smile on Shangguan Xiu's face remained unchanged, and the wave of his hand did not stop, and he also said in a low voice: "Isn't it a good thing that the people welcome the army of the imperial court so much?"

Guan Jian's problem is that the Zhenxi Army is not the army of the imperial court, but the army of your Shangguan Xiu.

Tang Wanyun muttered in her heart and didn't say anything more. Seeing that the people of Hou'an welcome the Zhenxi Army so much, and the population of Hou'an is as high as two or three hundred thousand, next, the Zhenxi Army will inevitably be able to collect a large number of recruits in Hou'an City, and the strength of the Zhenxi Army can be further enhanced.

She guessed correctly, Shangguan Xiu was walking forward with the army, and before she arrived at the city lord's mansion, there was a sudden disturbance among the people on the street, and then, dozens of people poured out of the crowd, some in their thirties, some in their early twenties, dressed differently, tall, short, fat and thin.

Seeing that these many people suddenly rushed over, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, Wei Tian and others, who were guarding Shangguan Xiu and Tang Wanyun, stepped forward together and asked, "Who is it?"

"We want to see Lord Shangguan!" the young men said in unison.

"Your Excellency has just entered the city, and there are still a lot of government affairs to deal with...... Xiao Jue didn't finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to him, and then looked at these young people with a smile, and asked with a smile: "You want to see me, I don't know what is going on?"

He could feel that these young people were not ordinary people, they all had more or less spiritual pressure on their bodies, and they were all spiritual cultivators.

"My lord!" all the young people knelt on the ground, led by one, in his early thirties, burly, dignified, he arched his hand and said: "We are all born in the Hou'an Lingwu Academy, in order to avoid the recruitment and persecution of the rebels, we have been incognito in the city for several months, today the rebels are defeated, the adults led the army into the city, we and other martial arts cultivators are all happy, are willing to serve the adults and horses, and please fulfill them!"

Oops, it turns out that they are all from the Lingwu Academy. When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he immediately turned over and dismounted and stepped forward. Xiao Jue was afraid that these people were plotting against him, so he stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Brother Xiu, be careful!"

"Hey!" Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said: "The rebels have occupied Hou'an for several months, and these brothers must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances if they were able to evade the rebels' search. As he spoke, he crossed Xiao Jue, walked to the front of the group of young people, and helped several young people in the front row up one by one.

The other party is a spiritual cultivator, as for whether he was really born in Hou'an Lingwu Academy, only the ghost knows, Shangguan Xiu went directly to contact them in close contact, no one dared to guarantee that there would be no danger, even Tang Wanyun behind unconsciously raised his hand and held the hilt of Xiujian.

Shangguan Xiu's words deeply moved everyone present, people's hearts were hot, their eyes were red, and tears were rolling in their eyes.

The young man at the head looked at Shangguan Xiu, looked excited, and said movingly: "When the adults first saw us, they trusted us so much, and they can empathize with what happened to us, and they can serve the adults, and we all die without regrets!"

"Serve the adults, die without regrets!" The young man kneeling on the ground in the back had not yet gotten up, and the few young men in front who had just been helped up by Shangguan Xiu knelt down on one knee again and bowed their hands.

"Everyone, please get up, hurry up!" Shangguan Xiu once again helped everyone up one by one, and said with a straight face: "Since you have joined the army, you are comrades, and since you are comrades, you are siblings, and between brothers, you don't need to kneel down at every turn!

For an army, spiritual cultivators are one of the most precious resources, and the number of spiritual cultivators in the army directly determines the strength or weakness of the army's combat effectiveness. There are spiritual cultivators who come to join the army, Shangguan Xiu welcomes them with both hands, and it is too late to treat each other politely, so how can he be condescending?

Shangguan Xiu was born in a commoner, and in him, he has the kind of approachable and polite corporal factors, and these are exactly what most aristocratic officials do not have, including Tang Wanyun.
