----------- Introduction

In the spring and March of the third year of Shengping, Linfeng Station in Yumei County, Fufeng County, Yongzhou, here is the western section of Guanlong Avenue, and there are many business travelers walking on the road, although it has always been a lively place. But today it was a little different, except for the merchants who were still coming and going, in the open space next to the post station, there were hundreds of sergeants, all dressed with steel knives at their waists, with a cloth towel on their heads, some carrying bows and crossbows, some holding spears, and the more than 100 pack horses that followed were black armor, helmets and arrows in addition to food.

Familiar merchants and posters all knew that this was a government soldier who was transferred from Qinzhou to the east. Since the Yan State raised troops last year, the Kwantung region has been in chaos, the Wei State has been destroyed, the Zhou State has also been destroyed, and many generals and princes, princes, grandchildren and brothers have fled to Yong and come with refugees. And Beifu has not moved since the late autumn of last year, when Lord Wang Meng led the army to fight in Huguan, but concentrated the army to the north to quell the rebellion. It is said that now the Yan Kingdom has swept north and south of the Great River. stole the Central Plains, and the army was unparalleled for a while.

However, the soldiers and civilians of Beifu are also at ease, they all know that no matter how bold Yan Guo is, he will not dare to rashly invade the west. Beifu not only has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, but also Tongguan, Hangu, Hukou, Dahe, Daxingshan (Taihang Mountain) and other natural dangers, how dare the Yan army risk their lives.

However, Beifu will not watch the Yan army "do evil" in the Central Plains, starting from last year. The troops of the states began to converge eastward. And this year is the beginning of spring. There are more soldiers in the east, and it seems that Beifu is going to have a duel with the Yan army. However, although the Yan army was rampant, Beifu still knew the importance of the people's livelihood, and insisted on putting the people's livelihood first.

The deployment of government soldiers from the northern government is very measured. They are gradually mobilized in different states, and there are also a lot of government soldiers in the garrison, one is to guard the place, the other is to continue the military cantonment, not long after the opening of the northern province, except for a few places in the states are places of long-term difficulty, how can it be easy to recover a little vitality?

But that's it, the convergence of the Beifu army to the east has become a huge number. There are more than 200,000 of them. It can be seen what kind of situation the family foundation of Beifu has been deposited. These more than 200,000 soldiers were mobilized from Liang, Qin, Yi, Liang and other prefectures, so the Guanlong Avenue, Chencang Plank Road, these things, the north-south main road is an endless stream of soldiers and horses, and the post stations and business travelers are also used to it.

The caravan is in front of the inn and on the left. The government soldiers are on the right, and the words are clear.

Team Zheng Guo Datou looked at his subordinates sitting around and eating dry food quietly, and nodded with satisfaction. Guo Datou is forty-four years old this year, but since the age of sixteen, he has become a "glorious" Northern Zhao Bian pawn, who has been tempered in the blood and fire of the battle against Liang, and has been the leader of the team, with more than 200 people in the north, and he can be regarded as an elite under the command of Zhang Mao, the general of Zhenxi at that time, and made a lot of contributions to Zhang Mao's climb to the Yongzhou Assassin History.

Then Zeng Hua entered Guanlong, Guo Datou's Qinzhou border army was dismissed, and he was incorporated into the Qinzhou army as a sergeant with rich combat experience and bravery, and later made meritorious achievements in previous exercises, and then after the "political review" was sent to the Qinzhou Military Academy, from the chief step by step to become the team leader, if not older, maybe he would have joined the Xiang army.

Guo Datou saw Yi Cheng coming over with a few businessmen, and knew that something had come to the door, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"Lord Team, these businessmen have something to discuss with you." Yi Cheng said.

Hearing this, Guo Datou hurriedly replied: "Thank you, I don't know what to tell me?" According to the military system of Beifu, after the government soldiers and the officers of the Xiang army retire, they are either for the protection of the township or for the post officer, or for the patrol and arrest of the band, so Guo Datou naturally has a sense of intimacy of "his own people" when he sees the post army.

"Lord Captain Zheng, it is a great honor to meet all the sergeants here today. We, dozens of merchants, have discussed with each other, and we are willing to invest in the purchase of some meat and vegetables at the post station to treat you, which can be regarded as a piece of our heart. The leader of the merchant said enthusiastically.

Guo Datou understood as soon as he heard it, and it turned out that he had encountered "supporting the army" again. From Shouyang to the east, along the way, there are not only villagers on the roadside to serve food and welcome each other, but also business travelers to pool money to invite each other, which can also be regarded as a major feature of Beifu.

"Thank you, shopkeepers, it's a waste of money!" Guo Datou hurriedly thanked. In Beifu is different from other places, not only the sergeants are revered, but the status of the merchants is not low, Guo Datou does not dare to snub these merchants,

Which of them is a wealthy gentry of a certain state or county, who has the meritorious service of the township, and is not only famous for military merit, but also for the outstanding work of industry, agriculture, and business.

"All the soldiers sacrificed their lives to defend the country and the people, how can a little food express our hearts, without you and so on, we can run safely." The businessman at the head said loudly.

"Thank you for your kindness." Guo Datou happily responded, with such treatment, can the Beifu sergeant not work hard? "It's just that the military law is limited, and I have to continue to hurry after half an hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! My Linfeng Post is a first-class post, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to handle the meals of more than 100 people. Yi Cheng smiled.

"Thank you, then I'm not welcome." Guo Datou didn't say much, and immediately responded.

After a while, the postmen passed the pasta, meat and vegetables to the water, and soon distributed them to the soldiers.

Just when the sergeants were eating hotly, Guo Datou suddenly noticed that dozens of fast horses were galloping on the west road, and the cavalry on the ground was a little different, so he immediately looked at it.

I saw that these dozens of horsemen were all white steel willow leaf armor and red tasseled eight-petal brave helmets, which were exactly the configuration of the Su Guards. Guo Datou's heart moved, and he quickly stood up, and the sergeant next to him also raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw the chief officer like this, he couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up.

Not long after these dozens of horsemen, I saw the white-armored cavalry all over the ground rolling east along the avenue, the sound of horses' hooves and armor leaves coming towards them, and several huge military flags fluttering in the wind in the middle. Guo Datou hurriedly shouted: "Line up!" ”

More than 100 sergeants quickly stood neatly, holding weapons in their hands, and facing the avenue with their heads held high, as if in a big review, while the standard-bearer unfurled the flag and stood beside Guo Datou with several officers. And the business travelers next to them also knew that there was a big mystery in it, and they stood silently on the side, and actually faintly formed a formation.

Yi Cheng was even more excited, and while shouting out the post men, he called two of his subordinates and rushed to the backyard in a panic. After a while, I saw that this postman was actually wearing a pair of black mountain armor, although it was a little shabby but neat and straightforward, and there were several round bronze medals hanging on his chest. Guo Datou and other discerning people know that this is a military merit medal issued by the army, but they are all small and medium-sized meritorious achievements. The post man held a horizontal knife in his hand and stood at the front of the post men with a solemn face.

The white-armored cavalry walked over in small steps, and saw a group of government soldiers standing on the side of the road, very respectful, knowing that they had understood, and did not speak, but the officer who took the lead nodded slightly, hugged his right arm to his chest, gave a military salute, and then continued to march.

At this time, Guo Datou and others saw the flags clearly, the front was the two-color five-star military flag, and the middle was the two-winged flying dragon flag, which was Zeng Hua's general flag, and the big flag behind was written with a line of big words - "General Zeng"!

The Great General is back! Guo Datou felt a stirring in his heart, and he was almost out of breath. His dark face was a rare red, and so were his colleagues and subordinates next to him, and the flag-holding hand actually trembled, shaking the flagpole to make a slight buzzing sound.

Guo Datou saw a pair of eyes cast in the white-armored cavalry, this pair of eyes was warm, majestic, and praised, which made Guo Datou feel hot all over, and his burly body trembled involuntarily.

Seeing the general galloping in front of his eyes, Guo Datou felt that he should do something to express his feelings, he didn't think about it, he opened his mouth and sang the military song in the Beifu army - "The beacon fire shakes the desert, and the clouds shine on the sweet springs." The Emperor of Han pressed his sword and summoned General Li. The spirit of the soldiers is in the sky, and the sound of drums is heard at the bottom. Rampant negative courage, a battle to clean the demonic atmosphere. ”

In the chorus of everyone, Zeng Hua galloped past the Linfeng Station and ran along Guanlong Avenue to Chang'an.

The Great General is back! Countless soldiers and civilians of Beifu who heard the news stood solemnly on both sides of the avenue wearing armor or forming a queue, watching Zeng Hua and his party gallop in front of them, looking at those few military flags, they felt extremely down-to-earth in their hearts, no matter what, as long as they saw that banner, they would feel that there was no difficulty that could not be conquered.

Zeng Hua received a military report of Yan Jun's abnormal movements in the summer of the second year of Shengping, and the news of Du Yu, Meng Wolf Ting, and Ran Min also spread one after another, letting him know that Murong Yan's actions this time far exceeded his expectations, and it seemed that he still underestimated Murong Yan's ability and determination.

But Zeng Hua did not panic, because he knew that with Wang Meng and others in charge, although Beifu was in a hurry, it would not shake the foundation. In the spring and April of the second year of Shengping, the Red Valley Castle, which had been besieged for a winter, fell, and the royal family such as Gui'a committed suicide or were captured, and the Wusun Kingdom was destroyed.

Zeng Hua was the governor of Xizhou, Le Changshan was the governor of Xizhou, Yan Feng was the governor of Shazhou, Wei Xingguo was the governor of Shazhou, and the captains of each county were guarded, and Jiang Nan, Shilling Bo, Hu Lawyers, Dou Lin, Wu Luolanto, etc., were to protect Mobei and Xiqiang cavalry with Guoyi Zhonglang, and each army was stationed in the important town of Guanyao, while Tuntian, while guarding the new jurisdiction of Beifu. After a busy year, the two prefectures of Sha and Xizhou were finally initially settled, Zeng Hua waited patiently for another winter, and led Deng Yao, Zhang and 3,000 guards to return to Chang'an in the spring of the third year of Shengping.
