Niu Guangtian didn't want to be overwhelmed by Murong Tu, and also reported to Ling Jingyang on the right-wing troops, the right-wing troops had more than 5,000 soldiers, 250,000 stones of grain and grass, and they were supported by local heroes in the local garrison, and gave ten cannons to the general.

He looked at Niu Guangtian suspiciously, and Niu Guangtian hurriedly said: "Dudu, the last general received the assistance of his old friends in Yuci City, and he organized more than 500 villagers to transport the abandoned artillery on the battlefield back to the walled city, and after repairing, join my right wing troops." ”

Ling Jingyang asked, "What's his name?" ”

"Liu Dao, he used to raise people, but after the world was in turmoil, he resigned and returned to his hometown to organize the township to protect the township from being harmed by the rebels."

"Niu Guangtian, you have done a good job, our strength is very weak, and we need the support of all forces, but there must be a degree, don't be hollowed out by other forces, and you will be left with an empty shelf."

Niu Guangtian was a little embarrassed, Liu Dao was his friend, he came to defect with five hundred townsmen and artillery, he also admired this old friend very much, and appointed him as a general of the right-wing troops, and was beaten by Ling Jingyang today, and felt that he was a little reckless.

Ling Jingyang did not have an opinion on him because of these trivial matters, but asked him to maintain control of the army, and told the two of them the examples of the transfer of the generals of the Central Army and the Iron Fist Legion, especially Zhu Fei and Shi Tie, Zhu Fei is a general, Shi Tie is the same commander, and Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian are at the same level.

Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian suddenly understood, and hurriedly said that in the future, when the generals above the garrison are appointed, they will ask the governor for instructions and report, Ling Jingyang bowed his head lightly, and said to the two: "This time, the two of you will go to Licheng to rest, and then the whole army will capture the Weihui Mansion in Henan, echo with the Central Army and Jiang Xuan, and prepare for a long-term battle to take root in Henan." ”

Niu Guangtian had long wanted to rush out of Shanxi and gallop in the Central Plains, but he also thought of Gao Jie, so he said to Ling Jingyang: "Dudu, the last general heard that Gao Jie is coming?" ”

"Here, but a few days ago he led the troops to Zezhou, after you go to Henan, his troops will also deal with it, don't have a conflict with them, after all, he can be regarded as our friendly army now, and there can be no internal strife

。 ”

Niu Guangtian nodded, but Murong Tu said disdainfully: "Hmph, Gao Jie is a rat, and he is still mixed with Li Zicheng's concubine, phew!" ”

Gao Jie's character is really average, but Murong Tu hates Gao Jie so much, Ling Jingyang, as the commander of the first army, can't let the contradictions between his subordinate generals and friendly troops intensify, so he asked Murong Tu, why do you say Gao Jie?

"Dudu, the last general used to fight with the Dashun army in Shanxi, at that time it was still called a thief, and Gao Jie's soldiers and horses had a battle, our army was invincible, the strength was not as good as people, and if it was defeated, it was defeated, and then this person betrayed Li Zicheng, became an official army, and followed Lord Sun to attack the Shun army, what was the result?"

Ling Jingyang motioned for him to continue, and Murong Tu continued: "Everyone knows that Lord Sun died in battle, and the last field army that obeyed the orders of the imperial court was wiped out, what did Gao Jie do in this battle? ”

Niu Guangtian followed his words and said, "Isn't it just running away without a fight? ”

"Yes, just such a despicable villain, let him garrison Zezhou, wouldn't he have to divide his troops to prevent him from going north to attack Yuci City?"

"That's not necessary, he doesn't have many soldiers and horses, being able to hold Zezhou is the limit, he won't go north to Taiyuan Mansion, on the contrary, he will go south to Henan with us to expand his power."

Murong Tu was still wary of Gao Jie: "Governor, the last general asked to lead troops to guard the Hui Mansion to prevent Gao Jie's soldiers and horses from going north to raid Taiyuan Mansion, so that Gao Jie dared to raid Taiyuan Mansion, and the last general took his lair." ”

"Gao Jie has been abandoned by Ying Tianfu, he fought with our army in Shanxi, I am afraid that he will lose his mind, and the troops he brought from Ying Tianfu are still defeated by Li Zicheng, and many other soldiers and horses are added later, it has long been a hodgepodge, I heard that he is going to surrender our army, and most of it was dispersed overnight, and the combat effectiveness of his troops is less than fifty percent of the peak, just such a half-crippled warlord, Murong Tu, you are also afraid?"

"The last general still thinks that the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable."

Ling Jingyang's task to Murong Tu was to send troops to defend the Hui Mansion, so let Murong Tu be stationed on the west side of the Hui Mansion, and Niu Guangtian would be stationed on the east side of the Hui Mansion to resist the counterattack of the Qing army in Zhangde Mansion.

The three of them chatted again in the army

After a while, Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian were very appreciative of Wang Mu, he was stunned to raise so much grain and grass from the barren land of Shanxi, Ling Jingyang also sighed, if there was no grain and grass, his tens of thousands of troops would not have the ability to go out of the province to fight, this time when he returned to Yucicheng, he must commend Wang Mu and ask Zhu Youzhen to give him a higher position.

After resting in Xiangyuan City for half a day, the three troops continued to hurry, after Ling Jingyang entered Qinzhou, he ordered to speed up, all at trotting speed towards Yuci City, it only took two days and one night to arrive at Yuci City, passing by Xugou City, Baidun happened to continue to recruit troops here, and after seeing the Iron Fist Legion, he also returned to Yuci City together,

Wang Mu, Wang Bao, Ximen Zhu, Jin Dashou and other Ling Jingyang's descendants have long been ten miles outside the city to greet each other, Ling Jingyang looked at the faces of his subordinates, but he always felt that there was one person missing.

Who is it? Zhang Luofu, no, he was training in Fenzhou, Lin Erle, no, he is not a confidant, so who didn't come?

Ling Jingyang has not continued to, Wang Mu and others have warmly stepped forward to greet him, Ling Jingyang and them one by one, everyone flocked to Ling Jingyang back to the city, when there were still hundreds of meters away from the city gate, Ling Jingyang saw the old steamed buns, Wang Tiedao led the soldiers to exterminate the Fusang spies, and lined up at the city gate to welcome him back to the city.

Ling Jingyang came to the gate of the city, full of joy looking at the old steamed bun and Wang Tiedao, the two of them stood straight and straight, accepted Ling Jingyang's review, Ling Jingyang and every soldier kept smiling, back to the city, he first led the soldiers to the palace to meet "Your Majesty." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

At this time, in the innermost dormitory of the palace, Zhu San and Wang Chengen were bored, and the two had an awkward chat, when suddenly a soldier outside the door shouted: "The five armies have all supervised the Jingyang class to return to the dynasty and come to meet Your Majesty." ”

Zhu San and Wang Chengen hurriedly stood up, waiting for Ling Jingyang's return, after Ling Jingyang entered the palace, he only brought Zhu Youzhen, Yue Ling, and Fang Xiaoyan to the door of the palace, and the others were waiting outside the palace.

After Zhu Youzhen and everyone retreated, he came to the gate of the dormitory, as excited as if he wanted to see a relative he hadn't seen for a long time, knocked on the door with his hand, and said, "Cheng'en, I'm back." ”
