In the original plan, in addition to logistics and baggage, the rest of the soldiers and horses should not stop at Tongguan.

With Guo Rong's character, if there is no absolute reason, he will generally not make similar changes.

It was Guo Rong's unplanned order that made all the generals and colonels of the whole army nervous all of a sudden.

So, when the cooking soldiers were busy cooking and frying sugar, the ordinary soldiers and low-level military academies were busy eating and resting, and Liu Yuxi, the chief butler of the Changying Army, was busy with the sergeants and officers of a logistics battalion, the Changying Army and Zuo Wuwei's military academies had gathered in front of Guo Rong for the first time.

Although there is no sand table in the festival hall of the Changying Army, a map covering the entire Henan Province and half of the Hebei Province is still placed in front of everyone.

After seeing Han Xiang leave, seeing that the personnel had arrived, and ordering the surrounding guards to guard the left and right, Guo Rong did not talk nonsense and spoke directly.

"General Li Yu led his troops north from Cangzhou four days ago!"

A simple sentence made the originally calm generals almost fry the pot, after all, at least the officers present were all battalion-level officers, and they understood Li Yu's position in Guo Rong's plan, and now Li Yu's sudden change will inevitably cause a chain reaction of everything.

However, this also explains why Guo Rong will change his plans.

"Li Yu has gone north, so our plans need to be changed in response. Duan Mingxuan!"

"The end will be!"

As he spoke, Guo Rong pointed to the location marked on the map.

"General Duan, you lead Zuo Wuwei's cavalry battalion to the north as fast as possible, march to Cangzhou, and take over Cangzhou, Jingzhou, Dezhou, and Dizhou."

"Obey!"

"After arriving in Cangzhou, we must take over the defense line left by Li Yu after the army as quickly as possible, and build Cangzhou, Jingzhou, and Dezhou under the jurisdiction of Hebei Jiedu into a bridgehead for our army to attack."

"If the rebel army attacks, your task is to hold the entire defense line composed of Cangzhou, Jingzhou, and Dezhou, and if the rebels are only a small force to reconnoiter or attack, then decisively kill them."

"If there is no enemy attack, then take the platoon as a unit and reconnoiter and advance in the direction of Wei Bo, Chengde, and Lulong, and be sure to let the enemy know that we have arrived in Cangzhou and have arrived at the front line!"

"The last general commands!"

"After the soldiers finish repairing, you immediately send troops, I am already integrating and collecting the horses, equipment, and supplies needed for the attack, you can go directly to Liu Changshi to apply for it!"

"Understood!"

"Mo Lingjun, Meng Qian!"

"The Last General!"

"Mo Lingjun, your cavalry regiment, and your infantry regiment of Meng Gan, follow me later to break away from the brigade and set off in advance!"

"Obey!"

After assigning tasks to the three of them, Guo Rong turned his head and looked at Hun Wan, who was in charge of Zuo Wuwei.

"General Hun !"

"The end will be!"

"General Hun doesn't have to be so polite, after I lead my troops to attack, the remaining soldiers and horses will ask Hun Wan to be the commander, and then General Hun will lead the army along the established route, and after leaving Tongguan, he will take the line of Luoyang, Bianzhou, and Caozhou, and finally garrison the troops in Jeju."

"Hun Iron understands!" ….

"Since the two armies of soldiers and horses that attacked in advance, all of them were three horses (horses for World War II and one pack horse), and almost more than sixty percent of the animal power of the whole army was transferred, which would make the transportation capacity of the army insufficient, so after leaving Tongguan, Hun could levy and send people to the counties along the way in my name to transport grain and grass on my behalf."

"After arriving in Luoyang, General Hun can ask the Luoyang gentry and wealthy families to provide grain, grass, and supplies for the army in my name, as well as some servants and people's husbands......

"In addition, I have sent Han Xiang as a messenger to Bianzhou, asking the Xuanwu Army to assist Han Hong, and then the Xuanwu Army will mobilize and assemble for combat readiness, and when the conditions permit, General Hun can interact and cooperate with Han Shuai to a certain extent, such as sending some cavalry to approach Wei Bo and so on......

"Don't worry, General, Hun Chuan understands!"

"In addition to Han Xiang, all the Jiedu envoys, observation envoys, and defense envoys along the Henan and Hedong Provinces along the way are required to reorganize their armaments for battle, and when the soldiers and horses of the large army are approaching, Hun Hao can directly recruit about 1,000 cavalry from all the Jiedu envoys along the way......

With Guo Rong's order, the Changying Army and Zuo Wuwei, who numbered 30,000 people, actually divided their troops into three routes, and of course, several groups of messengers, including Han Xiang, set off at the same time.

After leaving Tongguan and galloping wildly for a day and a night, Han Xiang finally arrived outside Bianzhou before midnight the next day.

When Han Xiang arrived in Bianzhou, Han Hong had already fallen asleep after the Xuanwu Army's festival, but he got up as soon as he heard the arrival of the messenger sent by Guo Rong.

There weren't too many greetings, and there weren't too many nonsense without nutrition, the first time he saw Han Hong, Han Xiang sent Guo Rong's handwritten letter.

took the letter from Han Xiang's hand and began to watch it seriously.

However, just after a beginning, even in the dim and trance candlelight, Han Xiang could see the surprise on Han Hong's face.

After being surprised, Han Hong's brows furrowed directly and turned into a Sichuan character.

It wasn't until after reading the entire letter that Han Hong's expression and expression didn't change too obviously, and then Han Hong closed his eyes and thought quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Han Hong slowly came back to his senses from his thoughts, and the doubts and surprises on his face dissipated, replaced by a faint smile on his face after relief.

"Guo Rong, Guo Rong, you can't use the same trick endlessly," after laughing, Han Hong shook his head slightly, "But it's also right, as long as it's useful."

After muttering a few words, Han Hong remembered that there was a messenger sent by Guo Rong standing below, and immediately asked kindly.

"Does Guo Rong have any other requests or instructions?"

"Naturally, there is no order, but General Guo said that he hopes that Han Shuai will make the momentum as big as possible, and it is best to let the whole world know that the Xuanwu Army has begun to mobilize and can go out at any time!"

Originally, it was just a formal inquiry, but I didn't expect the messenger in front of me to really say the content, and it was the core of Guo Rong's request, which was more or less unexpected than Han Hong. So he looked up and looked at the messenger in front of him.

Han Xiang instantly appeared in Han Hong's eyes, about six feet tall, well-proportioned, sturdy, relatively fair skin, he looked a little tired under the continuous rush, but his eyes were quite sharp, and more importantly, the other party's outfit or the sign on the outfit. ….

Guo Rong returned to Chang'an for the second round of forbidden army and guard reform, and put forward the idea of separating military ranks and military ranks, but the military rank system of later generations may not be able to fit perfectly with the Tang army.

In order to make the military rank and military rank system after separation more suitable for the Tang Army as much as possible, Guo Rong did not directly take the rank of ninth-level sergeant and third-class and tenth-level officer in later generations.

On the contrary, after setting out from Fengzhou, Guo Rong sent many messengers to various places to consult and advise veterans he knew or generals in the army.

For example, Fan Xichao, who sat in Lingwu, such as Duan You, who returned to seclusion, such as Gao Chongwen, a veteran who was transferred from the border army to Chang'an to cooperate with Guo Rong to rebuild the Twelve Guards, and Xue Cong, the envoy of Jiannan and Nandao.

Of course, this also includes Han Hong, who is sitting in the Central Plains and has received the promise of Emperor Li Yu that he will definitely enter Chang'an in the future to worship the prime minister and take charge of the military department.

Therefore, Han Hong knew the officer and non-commissioned officer system of the forbidden army after Guo Rong's reform.

As a messenger, he didn't say anything about being dressed in light armor, but the two-bar and one-star symbol on Han Xiang's left shoulder surprised Han Hong.

In Han Hong's memory, in order to cooperate with the new hierarchical system of battalion (synthetic battalion), regiment (synthetic brigade), and army (integrated division), Guo Rong merged, split, and reorganized the three lieutenants, lang generals, and lieutenant generals in the Tang Army into school officers and lieutenant officers.

If Han Hong is not mistaken, there is a five-pointed star sandwiched between the two bars, and it should be a major in Guo Rong's rank.

The major is almost equivalent to General Lang, and in the reformed forbidden army, he can already serve as a military supervisor at the battalion level, or become a deputy at the regimental level

。

This level is really not low, especially among the forbidden army under Guo Rong.

Others may not know, but Han Hong is very clear that every officer in the Changying Army, even the lowest-priced second lieutenant, has recorded at least twenty heads in military merits.

The number of twenty levels may not be too amazing, but the records are very amazing, after all, killing twenty people is definitely not the same difficulty as being able to get twenty heads.

There are several conditions required to be recorded:

First, there are witnesses who can bear witness to this.

Second, if you have obtained the first level (ear), you must first win the battle, and if you lose, you will not have a chance to gain faith.

Third, the first level or the letter obtained must be verified to confirm that the identity of the other party is compliant.

Only when these three points are possessed at the same time can they be recorded in military merits, then this amount is very amazing.

In such a forbidden army, let a major be a messenger, Han Hong believed that the officers under Guo Rong were not so worthless.

Considering the age of the person in front of him, becoming a major at this age, although he can't be compared with Guo Rong, the first celebrity of the emperor, can be regarded as having a bright future.

Han Hong had a strong interest in the young major messenger sent by Guo Rong, so he already knew about Guo Rong's plan, and it was really not difficult for him, so.

"Did Guo Rong only send you this way as a messenger?"

"Yicheng, Zhaoyi, and Yiwu all have messengers to go, but only Han Shuai is here to deliver the letter."

Han Hong nodded,

"What's your name?"

"Humble Han Xiang!" ….

Han Xiang?

Hearing this name, Han Hong couldn't help laughing, not only laughing, but also shaking his head self-deprecatingly while laughing, no wonder such a young major, he should have thought of this guy a long time ago.

"Han Yu, Han Changshi's nephew?"

Han Hong's cold words made Han Xiang stunned for a while, and after a few breaths, Han Xiang came back to his senses and responded.

"Eh...... yes, Han Shuai, Han Changshi is Han Xiang's ancestor."

The identity was determined from Han Xiang's own mouth, Han Hong nodded with satisfaction, Guo Rong may not have any intention, but he is indeed a person with a heart, Han Xiang!

The person who didn't send Guo Rong to deliver the letter turned out to be Han Xiang, and Han Hong's heart was already happy at this time.

Guo Rong's last personal guard, Pei Zhi, was already the chief of staff of the Yulin Army in the "Upper Fourth Army", and he was capable, down-to-earth, steady, and wise, and he already had the title of "Confucian General" in less than two years.

The Northern Ya Forbidden Army, with the Changying Army as the team, has a name in all the feudal towns that are pro-imperial court, and I don't know when it began to have a name: "Shangsi Army!"

There are countless capable people in the upper four armies, Li Erniu, who was born in Orion and almost created a scout, is no less than Xue Rengui's new generation of "Arrow God" Wang Zheng, born in Anxi, good at battle formations, and Li Rui, who uses the Mo Sword Formation superbly......

But the most praised are these four:

The chief of staff of the Yulin Army "Confucian General" Pei Zhi, the chief of the guard of the Changying Army "Wufeng" Han Xiang, the commander of the first infantry regiment of the Changying Army "Iron Blood" Meng Gan, and the commander of the independent reconnaissance battalion of the Changying Army "Ghost Cai" Li Yan, these are the four promising stars praised in the forbidden army today.

If one day Guo Rong is no longer directly in charge of the Changying Army, then these four people are the most likely candidates to become the next general of the Changying Army.

Compared with the elegant, capable, and wise Pei Zhi, the iron-blooded, brave, and fearless Meng Qian, and the scheming, treacherous, and decisive Li Yan, Han Hong is the most optimistic about Han Xiang, who seems to be the most featureless and is used as a brick by Guo Rong.

No edge - the heavy sword has no edge, and it is not skillful!

"In the past, when Guo Rong led the Changying Army to make trouble in the main workshop in order to recruit soldiers, you were filled with righteous indignation, abandoned literature and martial arts on the spot, and then ...... Now together with the little doll named Zhi Muyu, he has become Guo Rong's close attendant......

At first, he was a little confused, but listening to Han Hong tell what he had experienced little by little, Han Xiang quickly grasped his own thoughts, and people gradually calmed down.

Forget about it before, after all, it's just a name, more or less Han Xiang can still understand it, but the degree of understanding is a bit too much, if it weren't for Han Hong's special investigation of himself, Han Xiang would never believe it.

"If I'm not mistaken, Major Han, you shouldn't be married yet."

Get married???!!!

Han Xiang's brain, which had just mastered his thoughts and thinking, went down again.

Lao Tzu was just ordered to deliver the letter, why did he talk twice, how could Han Hong, the old boy, ask about getting married, could it be that he still wanted to pull Lang to match, so he didn't care about it, and said directly.

"Not married!"

However......

"Not married? That's good, that's good, I have a daughter, surnamed Nie, after the name Yinniang is Han's deceased. Before the deceased left, he entrusted it to Han, and Han regarded it as his own." ….

"Now Yinniang is twenty-eight years old, talented and good-looking, and it is even more rare to be both martial arts, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also likes to dance with guns and sticks, and plays a good flute, which is similar in age to Major Han, can she be called a talented woman and a woman, a match made in heaven, can Major Han have intentions?"

At this moment, Han Xiang's mind was buzzing!

Of course, if Guo Rong was here at this moment, after hearing Han Hong's name, it was estimated that the degree of confusion would be ten times that of Han Xiang.

However, Han Xiang's overall thinking had gradually kept up with Han Hong's rhythm, and without pausing for too long, Han Xiang spoke directly.

"Han Shuai understands the beauty of Xiang, but how can the marriage matter be self-determined, and it still needs the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, please ...... it."

Hearing this euphemistic refusal, Han Hong didn't get angry or angry, he smiled, sighed softly in his heart, and then ......

"It's okay!"

「？？？」

"The virtuous nephew is reasonable, and the marriage matter really can't be decided in one word!"

「！！！」

At this moment, Han Xiang had an extremely bad premonition, as if he had been calculated by Han Hong.

"Tomorrow, I will repair a letter and send someone to Chang'an, and communicate with Uncle Ling first!"

"Han Shuai, Xiang once made an oath that Hu Lu will not be extinguished, and the karma will ......."

"Playing the piano indiscriminately, a marriage event, how can it be such a child's play, starting a family and starting a business is just to destroy Hulu!"

"Han Shuai!! ……」

"Okay, you don't care about this matter, I will communicate with Uncle Ling seriously, oh yes, my brother Han Chong is now in the capital, as the general of the Right Martial Guard, I will let Han Chong personally visit Han Changshi."

"Han Shuai!"

"Okay, I have understood the things arranged by General Guo, from tomorrow, all the 60,000 standing soldiers and horses belonging to my Xuanwu Army will start to mobilize and prepare for war, and at the same time, 30,000 soldiers and horses will be temporarily conscripted."

"With the state of the Xuanwu Army, at most three days, 60,000 soldiers and horses can be fully restored, and 30,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses will not exceed ten days!"

"Okay, Major Han should be tired, and the old man is also tired, Major Han won't leave today, there are rooms in the mansion, and Major Han will stay."

Hearing Han Yu, Han Xiang knew that he had really been trapped, to be precise, he fell into the ditch from the beginning, although Han Xiang wanted to live in a post house or a military camp, but Han Hong could only stay after he spoke......

Fortunately, that night, Han Xiang slept quite peacefully, and there was no situation of delivering meat buns in the middle of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, one order after another was issued from Han Hong's mansion in Bianzhou, and the entire Bianzhou and even the entire Xuanwu Army became lively.

Just when Han Hong met with Han Xiang, the envoys of the entire Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Hedong Province also received orders from Guo Rong.

Guo Rong will send scouts and meticulous work, which does not mean that others will not do the same, at most, the female cadres sent are not professional enough.

In fact, the three towns of Hebei, Huaixi, and Jiaodong kept receiving news from the details of the important towns lurking in Luoyang, Bianzhou, etc.

Just after the imperial court sent troops, the Xuanwu Army, including the various pro-imperial feudal towns, carried out large-scale military rearmament warfare and large-scale conscription, which made the entire Shandong region be

War clouds loomed.
