The appointment of the Hanzhong staff general came much sooner than Chen Wang expected.

It has only been about 10 days since the officials who recorded the merit have only been on their front feet for about 10 days, and the appointment of the generals on the back foot has already been issued.

However, except for the general's seal letter and a crimson official uniform, there was no other substantial support.

No rations were brought in, no armor was brought in for soldiers, and even the salaries that should have been paid were not delivered.

"Chen's talent is shallow, but he can get His Majesty's grace and be trusted by the military."

"I will do my best to repay the country and live up to my trust!"

Chen Wang took the tray with both hands and placed the official uniform of Yinxin, with a straight face.

Although Chen Wang was actually thinking about other things at this time, the words on the scene on his face were righteous and strict.

After taking the official uniform of the letter of seal, Chen Wang handed it to Chen Gong, who was kneeling beside him, and then stood up and said with his hand.

"It's really hard for you to come all the way from afar, and some dishes have been prepared in the camp, so it's better to stay here for one night today,"

The two officials who had come to read the appointment looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then nodded together.

Seeing the two nodding, Chen Wang glanced at Zhao Huailiang, who was guarding the side.

Zhao Huailiang understood, stood up, and then took a step forward and greeted him with a smile.

The two officials followed Zhao Huailiang all the way out of the Chinese military tent and walked all the way towards the side tent.

There are all kinds of delicacies on the square table in the tent, but as soon as you enter the tent, you will feel the aroma and mouth.

"The place is remote, please forgive me for the lack of hospitality, the two officials please use it for their own use, if there are other requirements, you only need to clap your hands, and the soldiers outside the tent are ready to be sent at any time."

"The two Shangguan came from afar, and the general of my family specially invited someone to invite the chef from the Zhenyu Mansion in Hanzhong City."

These delicacies are naturally not something that can be made by men in the army, and the skills of the chefs who cook them are among the best in Hanzhong City.

Zhao Huailiang walked into the side tent with two envoys, stood at the position of the tent door, pointed inside, and then left the side tent.

For Zhao Huailiang, who left, the two envoys didn't say much.

Although it is said that there are more or less attendants in the tent to set up a banquet and entertain guests, but women are forbidden to enter and leave the army, all of them are soldiers, five big and three coarse, so it is better to let them be attendants on the side.

And they came all the way to the dust, although the post stations along the road did not dare to slack off, but the conditions were limited and there was no good food, and now I saw a table of dishes I was indeed hungry.

The two of them sat down on the left and right, and when they were about to move, they both noticed the anomaly on the table.

There are various dishes on the table, but two plates have lids on them.

The two plates were also placed on the left and right, just in front of the place where the two of them were sitting.

The two of them glanced at each other, and then reached out to lift the lid on the dish in front of them.

When the lid was lifted, I saw that the plate was not filled with any dishes, but with ingots of silver......

……

"Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult."

In the Chinese military tent, Chen Wang suppressed his voice and said in a low voice.

"It's not a good thing that Mu Xiu is in the forest, now that I have made meritorious contributions, I have been promoted several levels all the way to the rank of general, and I have to be more careful in everything."

"As long as you can reduce the hassle, it doesn't hurt to spend more money."

Chen Wang waved his hand lightly and explained to Chen Gong.

"I know that the eldest brother must have the eldest brother's considerations in his actions."

Chen Gong is a little too upright, and he has always been a little repulsed by these ushers.

"It's just that these coins were all brought by my brothers from the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and they were given to others for nothing......"

"Alas......"

Chen Gong's face was gloomy, he clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.

"November's salary has not been paid until now."

"We are born and die, and we don't even get the money to sell our lives, but they can live in peace and enjoy themselves? Where in the world is there such a truth!? ”

How Chen Gong didn't know these truths, but even if he knew, he still couldn't avoid resentment in his heart.

"This world is like this......

Hu Zhiyi's expression was calm, his eyes were deep, and he spoke slowly.

"You think it's unfair, and I think it's unfair."

"But everything in the world will not change because of our thoughts."

"Unless ......"

Hu Zhiyi set his eyes on Chen Wang, his words were not finished, but everyone else understood what he meant.

When he was on Dingjun Mountain, Chen Wang had already confessed what he was going to do.

Liaodong has been fighting for almost 20 years, and the bandits have been suppressed for nine years now, but the situation is getting worse and worse every year.

Along the way, all they saw was a depression and devastation.

It seems that the imperial court really won't last long......

Hu Zhili was expressionless, but he felt that it was too troublesome to usher in the send-off, but although it was troublesome, there were some steps that could not be less, and there was not much disgust.

"There are many words and mistakes, and now there are mixed fish and dragons in the army, be careful that the wall has ears."

Chen Wang glanced at Hu Zhiyi, picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of water.

Although the inside and outside of the tent are now his own soldiers, it is always a good mistake to be careful.

Rebellion is a major crime of the Nine Clans, and once it is revealed, many things will be irreparable.

"What's going on in the east now?"

Chen Wang turned his head to look at Chen Gong, Chen Gong was the general manager of the First Cavalry Department, and reconnaissance and other work were naturally in charge of him.

】

To the east of Xixiang County are naturally Ziwu Town and Shiquan County, and Lu Shi fled in the direction of Shiquan before.

Hearing Chen Wang's inquiry, Chen Gong stood up, lowered his head, and reported.

"Lu Shi's command has now gathered a lot of soldiers again, there are about 5,000 horsemen, all on horseback, some time ago the attack on Meridian Town was frustrated, and then turned to the wind-by-wind, and then the siege around the wind-shop was unsuccessful and frustrated again."

"Yesterday at noon, I passed through the wind, passed through Shiquan County, walked to the mouth of the Chihe River, and ran to Fangshan Pass, it seems that I want to break into Hanyin and want to meet with the Drill Harrier in the eastern part of Hanzhong."

"Fangshan Pass has been broken by the Liukou several times and has become a ruin, Hanyin City is strong and the Liukou will definitely not be able to attack it, but the Liukou can bypass the city......"

Chen Wang's eyes were slightly staring, staring at the map placed on the table.

Because of its topography, the cities in Hanzhong are basically in the same line.

From Xixiang to the east, the important towns are Ziwu Town - Huanfengpu - Shiquan City - Chihekou - Fangshanguan - Hanyin City.

Originally, there was a Fangshan Pass, and it was only necessary to hold the pass to cut off the connection between the eastern part of Hanzhong and the central part of Hanzhong.

However, Fangshan Pass was not as steep as other levels, and Liukou broke into Hanzhong Mansion several times, and after Fangshan Pass was breached, Liukou directly burned it.

Every time they break through a city or level, they will destroy it as much as possible, so that if they need to come back later, they don't have to continue to face the walled city.

"Is there any news from Ziyang?"

Chen Wang raised his head and looked at Hu Zhili.

If he is stationed in Xixiang City now, and with himself threatened from behind, Lu Shi will definitely not dare to be in one place for too long.

Hanyin City is far stronger than Meridian Town and Windbreaker, and Lu Shi can't even break Meridian Town and Windbreaker, and it is even more impossible to break Hanyin City.

Moreover, Lu Shi now has a total of six or seven thousand people under his command, and it is unrealistic to want to hide in the mountains and forests.

Lu Shi is now leading people to Fangshan Pass, definitely not to besiege Hanyin City.

Chen Gong extrapolated Lu Shi's current thoughts to be eight or nine, and Lu Shi most likely went to Xing'an to see if he could make peace with the Drill Sky Harrier.

And now the Hanzhong guerrilla Zhou Yumao with his battalion soldiers, as well as the recruited Hanzhong Guards, are in the fierce battle between Ziyang and the Diamond Harrier Wang Cheng.

Ziyang City was in the southwest of Xing'an, and if Lu Shi crossed Hanyin with his army, Zhou Yumao would face the risk of being caught between the two loaves once he arrived at Xing'an.

There are only more than 1,300 soldiers in the battalion under Zhou Yumao's command, and although there are 4,000 people in the auxiliary guards and militias from all over the country, the guards and militia only have the role of strong momentum.

"The Military Command Office has not received the news from Ziyang for the time being."

In addition to leading the errand of the Supervision Office and the Second Infantry Department, Hu Zhili was also responsible for the transmission of military orders.

Seeing Chen Wang's gaze, he also stood up and replied.

"But counting the time, Zhou Yumao should have received the news from us, as long as he leads his troops to retreat to Xing'an, even if Lu Shi and Wang Cheng join forces, they won't pose much of a threat."

The heralds who were sent to inform the counties and cities before, they also carried orders to convey the news to Zhou Yumao.

After all, Lu Shi fled eastward, and the possibility of fleeing to Xing'an was extremely high, and Chen Wang had foreseen these things from the beginning.

Chen Wang's eyes were solemn, in order to ensure that the news could be passed on, he sent a total of more than ten messengers, thinking that it should be foolproof.

But now that there is no accurate news to convey, he is still somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Although Chen Wang had a large amount of armor and armor because of the gains from the three victories, Chen Wang knew very well that now was not the time for complacency.

The armament he has looks luxurious, but it is only compared to other ordinary generals and guerrillas.

The pacesetter battalion directly under the command of Hong Chengchou is fully armored and fully armed, and there are countless artillery and firearms of all kinds.

It is precisely because of this that Hong Chengchou can use more than 10,000 people to fight against hundreds of thousands of rogues.

Now there seem to be a lot of soldiers and horses under his command, and it has swelled to more than 6,300 people.

But in fact, the real veterans are more than 900 Liao cavalry, as well as the hundreds of Shaanxi soldiers who originally belonged to Ai Wannian, and more than 300 people recruited from Pizhou.

As for the rest of the soldiers, to be honest, only in Luoyang was a vicious battle, and the rest of the battles were basically tailwind.

Although he saw blood and experienced war, he was actually not of great use.

If they were placed on the battlefield of Liaodong, Jiannu's heavy infantry would be able to defeat them all with a few charges.

Not to mention the new recruits, who are essentially nothing more than a group of farmers.

Although the battle between Hanzhong was easy to win, it was based on Zhang Yuan's decision-making mistakes, and if it was an upright battle, it would not be easy to win.

"...... on the 25th day of the first lunar month"

It is now the 25th day of the first lunar month, and it is about to enter February.

In February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the world will be more turbulent, and the situation will deteriorate more and more.

Gao Yingxiang, Zi Weixing, Sweeping King and other twenty-four battalions turned to besiege Xuzhou.

After several days of continuous attack, everyone re-agreed to choose to march westward, left Nanzhili and returned to Henan Province, and then Gao Yingxiang divided his troops to attack the city by several routes.

Gao Yingxiang led the main force to capture Dengzhou, but Lu Xiangsheng led the army to pursue all the way and broke Gao Yingxiang again in Gaocheng Town in Dengfeng.

Gao Yingxiang led his troops to flee to Shiyang Pass, and successfully joined forces with the Liukou in Yinyang and Song County.

The general soldier Tang Jiuzhou was ordered to attack Gao Yingxiang with Zuo Liangyu.

However, Zuo Liangyu was defeated in pursuit and fled back, because of the long distance, Tang Jiuzhou went deep from Song County without knowing it, and defeated the Liukou with a lone army, chasing for forty miles.

On the way to pursue, Tang Kyushu was unfamiliar with the terrain and strayed into a deep cliff, so Gao Yingxiang gathered tens of thousands of troops.

Caught in a desperate situation, with no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, the fate of Tang Kyushu in the end can be imagined.

Tang Kyushu died in battle, and the popularity of the Liukou revived, and everyone celebrated.

Chen Wang had no way to solve Lu Shi's problem.

The pursuit was more than 150 miles, if Zhang Yuan hadn't died, Chen Wang would never have dared to pursue such a long distance.

That is, because Lu Shi's ability was weak and inexperienced, Chen Wang dared to pursue such a long distance.

However, Lu Shi reacted later, and a large number of horsemen were gathered under his command, and the risk of being ambushed in pursuit would be greatly increased.

encountered a large number of ambushes by the horse army, with mental calculation or unintentional, even if Chen Wang's command was all elite cavalry, there was also a very high risk of defeat.

Cao Wenzhao in history led the elite, but the end of the ambush was still defeat and death.

Tang Jiuzhou was defeated and killed, also because the pursuit was too much.

The examples of capsizing boats in the gutter are not uncommon in China, and Chen Wang does not want to be one of them.

To be honest, it was too risky to chase such a long distance.

"Gao Yingxiang ......"

Chen Wang's eyes were deep, thinking back to the memories in his mind.

In fact, there is not much time left for him now.

Because in March of this year, Gao Yingxiang will meet with the Collapse of the Sky, the Scorpion Block from Yunxiang to Xing'an, Hanzhong and Zhang Xianzhong.

Time does not wait for anyone, and it is only about forty days to be full.

At that time, he will have to face hundreds of thousands of troops led by Gao Yingxiang......

Chen Wang slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the bodies of everyone in the tent, and said in a deep voice

"Three days later, the camp marched to Hung Yen."
