Zhao Gui rushed out in such fireworks.

Thankfully, he found it in time, and most of his men hadn't jumped into the trench yet. But even so, twenty-six of Zhao Gui's own soldiers all died in the fire.

These people were all brothers that Zhao Gui could rely on for life and death, but they died in the last battle before the big victory.

No one will doubt that this is a big war.

Xi Shen also thought so, so when Zhao Gui was sent to the rear by his subordinates behind, he was still unwilling to retreat.

In fact, Xi Shen has a strong sense of crisis, as the first batch of Taishan army cavalry generals, he is undoubtedly a veteran. But over the years, Xi Shen first went out to Heji, and then was promoted to the commander of the Flying Leopard Army, but in fact, his influence in the army has lagged behind a lot.

Although the Assault Cavalry system is higher in rank than other field troops, it is actually very closed. Because of the small number of cavalry, Xi Shen's perennial troops are around 1,000 people. Not to mention that these thousand people are compared with Yu Ban and the like, even some backward generals, he can't compare.

So Xi Shen was quite resentful at the beginning, and he was also overfilled, hoping that he would help dredge it. As far as Xi Shen himself meant, he wanted to sit on one side.

Even if you can't ask for a county in the Central Plains, it's okay to be a county in Liaodong in Pingzhou.

But Du Man didn't see him, and even found someone to tell him that a county is too important to guard the country, how can he give it to each other privately?

The wind has shifted.

After that, Xi Shen inquired in many ways, and finally heard a mouth from Guo Tu.

Originally, after the battle against Liaodong, Zhang Chong had several meetings in the government hall and the Privy Council, and the theme of these court meetings revolved around one:

"Against mountaineering."

This is not the first time Zhang Chong has spoken this word, as early as when the first class of students graduated from the martial arts hall, he said this word to all the military scholars present.

At that time, almost all of these military scholars were recommended by various armies and base areas, and almost all of them had a group of mountains standing behind them.

Therefore, at that time, Zhang Chong specially talked about this problem to these people, that is, what the Taishan Army wanted to build was a unified group, and all those who harmed the interests of the overall situation for the sake of the interests of the mountains must be eliminated.

The requirements for these military students are also the resolutions, instructions, and resolute implementation of the center, and we must always remember to go with the Taishan army.

But this time, after the battle of Liaodong, none of the subordinates and privy councillors present could have imagined that Zhang Chong would mention this matter again.

These people are all old men of the Taishan Army, and it can be said that the situation on the mountain of the Taishan Army is too clear today.

The Taishan Army started by "breaking the strong and dividing the land". Therefore, in the process of moving to the Central Plains, seeds were left in various places in order to establish base areas.

Some of these bases have been successful, and some have failed. But without exception, because of the inconvenience of transportation, these base areas have relatively little contact with the Taishan Army.

In this case, it is inevitable that these places will have their own small groups, after all, these base areas will not survive.

For example, in some base areas in Yangzhou and other places, in fact, a few or a dozen people went south at the beginning, and finally slowly developed, and also developed some momentum. But it is clear that these areas cannot consult the center for everything, and they must have sufficient decision-making power to deal with the situation of the struggle on the ground.

So at first, the princes of the Taishan Army did not think that this was a problem, because it was inevitable to launch a widespread campaign to break the strong and strong.

However, Zhang Chong held several meetings and regarded this mountain as an obstacle and wanted to start rectifying it.

He did not mention the situation in the various base areas, but began to emphasize the need to deal with the mountains that appeared within the Taishan Army.

At that time, Zhang Chong said without taboo:

"Are there any hills in the army? Absolutely. And I myself am a member of the mountain, we were the old brothers in the forest at first, and then we expanded to the old brothers Taishan. And after that? In the army, there began to be the mountains of the Yellow Turbans, the mountains of Yanzhou Shi, and the mountains of Yuzhou Shi, and when we took root in Youzhou, there were the mountains of Beishi. It can be said that these are real. In the past, I did not particularly deal with this issue, because the existence of these hills is a real reaction to the development process of our army. Without these hills, our army would not have come so far. ”

"But not now, I think we should form a consensus from top to bottom, that is, there is no more important group than the center, more important than the Tarzan Army. Some people believe that if they are loyal to certain individuals, they will be promoted and will be able to occupy positions in the military. And some people also feel that promoting their own people can envelop a mountain for their own use. I want to tell these people that you are playing with fire, and you are making enemies of me and the entire Tarzan army! ”

"And you should all know what will happen if you are an enemy of the Tarzan army."

At that time, when Zhang Chong said these words, it can be seen how solidified the atmosphere of the entire Taiji Hall was. Just when Du Man and others thought that Zhang Chong was going to start rectifying the whole army, they heard Zhang Chong say this:

However, this tendency was inevitable in the past, and it was not consciously formed. Therefore I do not rejoice in it. But this problem must be solved, and if it is not solved, the Taishan army will be scattered sooner or later. So how to solve it? It still depends on education! It is necessary to give lessons to all military officials and soldiers, and tell them that the so-called private acceptance, and the vows of the officials, are all innumerable. Only by contributing to the Taishan Army and putting one's mind on the overall situation is the right way. Remember, the Tarzan Army belongs to everyone, not yours, nor his, and no private person can replace the organization. ”

I don't know how many people were present at these words, and everyone held their breath, for fear of missing Zhang Chong's speech.

After that, Zhang Chong began to do a series of military education, not only raising the level of the original military education department to the first-level department of the Privy Council, but also removing a large number of cadres to supplement it.

It is under such circumstances that Du Man dares to see Xi Shen.

He also knew in his heart that with Zhang Chong's character, he said that education must be education, so he was not worried about setting off a big storm.

Besides, Du Man is also upright enough, and he has indeed never spoiled his public heart by selfish schemes.

But Du is full of falls, but Xi Shen can't, he doesn't have the confidence.

He knew very well that he was in a very dangerous situation, and perhaps he was on the list of anti-mountainists this time.

And the subsequent development also confirmed Xi Shen's speculation.

Soon after the conference, Zhang Chong took the lead in starting to reorganize and expand the army of the original 10th battalion of assault cavalry, and it was this reorganization of the army that Xi Shen's small group of evil teenagers was completely dismembered.

Although Xi Shen was still in the original Flying Leopard Army, the main generals of the various departments under his command had been replaced by others.

In this situation, Xi Shen knew that his only chance was to obey and make a special contribution.

As for defection? Xi Shen didn't think about it, because it didn't get to that point.

So before, he knew that Hu Zhen's camp was heavily guarded and that a hard attack would cause a loss, but he still let Zhao Gui bring people up.

This is also a disadvantage after the military reform, if Xi Shen originally regarded the Flying Leopard Army as his basic plate and would cherish the life and death below, then now he is in order to succeed, what about the withering bones.

So, after Zhao Gui was seriously injured and sent back, he immediately ordered his subordinates to kill again.

And in order to expand the results of the battle, he also ordered his army of 500 people to start throwing arrows at the wall of the Han army.

For a time, there was a rain of arrows like locusts above. Below are hundreds of Taishan troops who dare to die to fight the fire and kill the camp.

At this time, Hu Zhen in the ground barrier was also very shocked, he didn't expect this Taishan army to dare to fight so much, and under his own careful layout, he could regroup and even kill the wall.

At this moment, he may have understood what kind of pressure the former Bingzhou Army was under to fight several bloody battles with the Taishan Army.

Hu Zhen is not afraid of death, he is afraid that he will not be able to die in his position.

Therefore, he immediately moved forward under the barrier with the tooth soldiers and Da Xu, and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle.

Under the rain of arrows and locusts, he did not retreat.

The tooth soldiers on his left and right kept falling to the ground, and the left and right wanted to pull him back, but they were also pushed away by Hu Zhen, and continued to calmly dispatch the rear troops to support the front line.

It was precisely by relying on Hu Zhen's command and dispatch that the Guanxi soldiers in the battalion continued to open up the barrier and meet the Taishan army in short arms.

In the end, the Taishan army was insufficient in numbers, even if Xi Shen was unwilling, he could only retreat one after another.

For a time, Hu Zhenzhong's army seemed to have turned from danger to safety.

The smoke and dust cleared, and the wounded tooth soldiers on the left and right had been dragged down for treatment.

At this time, many military officials complimented Hu Zhen, saying that the marshal did not avoid the stone arrow, was calm and comfortable, and was really a famous marshal of the country.

And Hu Zhen also took the opportunity to say in order to boost morale:

"In tonight's battle, the Taishan army is indeed a strong force, and it can fight like this with the Chinese army under my command, no wonder it is invincible all over the north. But what about tonight's fight? I don't think this Taishan army is so terrible, don't I see that as long as our army is united and everyone uses their lives, won't this battle be won in the end? ”

The left and right officials thought so.

At this time, Hu Zhen asked the people around him again:

"Where are the camp heads approaching now?"

As soon as these words came out, no one responded.

Hu Zhen frowned, thinking about the worst outcome:

"Could it be that the Chinese army is surrounded, and no one in the Liangzhou battalions in the rear dares to go forward?"

At this time, a soldier on the side squeaked:

"Now it's Zhang Ji and Zhang's lieutenant department who are leaning over. The rest of the lieutenants were all disturbed by the rout, and they were still on the road. ”

Hu Zhen snorted coldly, unwilling to pursue it further, but suddenly remembered:

"This Zhang Ji is Wenhe's fellow countryman?"

A young soldier on the side, who had not yet reached the crown, replied:

"Uncle, this Zhang Ji is indeed from Wuwei, and he is a fellow villager with Jia Junshi, and he has been introduced to the house several times."

It was Hu Zhen's nephew, Hu Zun, who spoke.

Hearing his nephew say this, he remembered who it was, and then sighed:

"I didn't think that I would treat the generals of Liangzhou very well, and it was really difficult, but Zhang Ji came to save me."

These words also sound embarrassing.

However, Hu Zun was not saddened by his uncle, but advised:

"Uncle, although our army has now defeated an enemy army, it is not out of danger. Now that the camps have collapsed, only Zhang Ji's battalion can support the left. And the enemy, after finding the location of our Chinese army, obviously will not let us go. From the nephew's point of view, the camp should be transferred immediately, and there would be a possibility of being besieged if it was too late. ”

What Hu Zun said was reasonable, and Hu Zhen still said with a smile:

"This is my tiger. With this eldest child here, my clan is worry-free. ”

Saying that, Hu Zhen ordered the various departments to transfer, originally he wanted to leave as soon as possible, but in this situation, he could only set an example for the whole battalion and stay behind to raise the army.

And this stay was delayed, at this time there were already several Taishan army soldiers and horses in the defeat of the Kansai rout, covering the killing.

……

Taishan Army Battalion, Chinese Army.

It's still that place, it's still those people.

Outside, there was a shout of slaughter, but it was quiet here, only the sound of a pot fire crackling.

Zhang Chong was looking at some of the folds sent from the rear, which he had to deal with today and send them back to the rear. And when he was dealing with the twists and turns, the generals in the big tent were silent.

Outside the tent, there was a wave of generals waiting under the tent with the rampage generals.

Among these people, there are two generals who are the most different, they exude a strong sour smell from top to bottom, this smell is also mixed with some bloody gas, strong nose rushing, even heavier than some Hu generals next to them.

The two of them were Hu Cai and Li Le from Baibo Valley.

Both of them came back with Guo Zu, and were sent by Guo Tai to report to Zhang Chong on the situation of the Bai Bo Army during this time.

Guo Tai has experienced the great changes in Guangzong and is very sensitive to internal power struggles. Therefore, even if he was able to reorganize the old department, Guo Tai often sent people to go through Taihang Mountain to Yecheng to report the situation.

At this time, Hu Cai and Li Le had already seen Zhang Chong, and then they were left outside the tent to listen.

But perhaps it has been in the mountains for a long time, and both materials and conditions are relatively difficult, and the personal hygiene situation of Hu Cai and Li Leer is very problematic.

Originally, the generals in the army didn't pay so much attention to it, but anyone who saw these two people with a mouthful of broken yellow teeth, their hair buns were glued into locks, and a foul smell wafted out when they walked around casually, and they would be stunned.

While the generals were silent, the two people in the corner began to chat:

"Lao Li, this time look at the line. Forehead drop obediently, look at these people, they are really fierce men. We Qu Shuai did this business this time. ”

And Li Le also agreed after listening to Hu Cai's words.

There's no way, their White Polish Army also has tens of thousands, but there are only a few thousand people who can really have a blade. Among them, there is no one who can wear armor, except for them, the generals and commanders.

Compared with them, the Taishan army they saw in the past two days was really a heavenly soldier.

Therefore, Hu Cai and Li Le were very satisfied in their hearts, and they were grateful that their Qu Shuai had not been seen for a year or two, and they found a good backer for them as soon as they came back.

And this time they came by coincidence, just in time to meet the decisive battle between the Taishan army and the Kansai soldiers.

They had also seen those Kansai soldiers before, and their commander Guo Tai originally wanted to attack these people, but just as soon as he looked at the other party from a distance, Guo Tai took them down.

There is no way, self-inflicted humiliation.

But it is such an arrogant elite soldier who was beaten like a dead dog by our Taishan army, what does this mean? It shows that our Taishan army is invincible!

Just as the two of them were talking, the officials who kept rushing down from the front line to hug Jie.

They either beheaded a general or captured a flag, and the two of them did not count, but it is estimated that the banners of more than a dozen battalion leaders have been captured.

While the two were speechless, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and a group of knights withdrew on stretchers, and as soon as they came, they shouted to the healers outside:

"Quickly heal with my family."

Those doctors didn't dare to delay, they hurriedly went to take over, and when they saw that this person was seriously injured, they were directly sent to the medical craftsman camp.

And after they left, some nearby generals whispered:

"Who is this who has the ability to hurt Ma Chao like this?"

But then another group of people retreated, holding a head with a high bamboo pole, and as soon as they entered the camp they shouted:

"Military master Zhao Yun, behead the enemy commander! Victory! ”

As soon as these words came out, the Chinese army shouted in unison:

"Big win!"

Even Zhang Chong in the big tent in the depths heard it, and he didn't even look at it, looking at the jubilation outside the tent, full of relief.

This battle is a success.
