In the first year of the puppet emperor of Dayong, in summer, at the beginning of June, everything in the valley mountain recovered, and the beasts roared and the birds chirped endlessly.

In the dense woods next to the mountain road, an elk was lowering its head, gnawing on the tender grass on the ground in the grass, and suddenly it seemed to hear something, and quickly stood upright, and at the same time pricked up its ears vigilantly, and scanned the surrounding eyes, full of vigilance.

At this moment, a colorful tiger leaped out of a low bush, and before the elk could react, the tiger's sharp steel teeth had pierced into its neck, and blood spurted high.

But the colorful tiger did not immediately enjoy this hard-won meal, it turned its head, bowed its body, looked in the direction of the mountain path, and let out a low threatening roar from its mouth.

At this time, a messy birdsong sounded in the forest, which suddenly startled countless birds, hovering over the woods and not daring to fall into the forest.

"Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap, ......"

A dark banner appeared in the field of vision of the colorful tiger.

More than a dozen horsemen wearing black iron jackets were coming towards this side, and the tiger roared, picked up the elk that was not yet dead on the ground, and sank into the dense forest in a few leaps.

Under the strong wind, the countless banners in the array of the state army on the mountain road were rolled, and Wang Rong's Xuanxi Daxu was also rolled.

A captain of the scout of the Bingzhou army with a flag on his back knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Rong's horse, and reported to him the report ahead: "Lord Qiqi, our army is still three miles away from Yiguan."

Wang Rong looked up into the distance, and the tall wall of Yiguan was shadowed among the mountains.

Wang Rong directly ordered: "Order the whole army, speed up the march, and spend the night in Yiguan tonight."

"No."

After receiving the order, the captain of the scout team of the state army turned over and stepped on his horse, and galloped out with the herald under his command holding the order flag, spreading the news to all directions.

"Tang Hou has an order! Speed up the march! Spend the night tonight in Yiguan."

"Tang Hou has an order! Speed up the march! Spend the night tonight in Yiguan."

"Tang Hou has an order! Speed up the march! Spend the night tonight in Yiguan."

Wang Rong's military orders were handed down one by one, and the marching columns of the state army, which were slowly advancing on the mountain road, slowly began to speed up the march.

"Wan Sheng!"

After hearing the military order, the sergeants on the mountain road couldn't help but cheer loudly.

It's been almost a month since I've been marching all the way, and today I'm finally about to reach my destination, how can I not feel excited.

In the Yongjun camp west of Yiguan, there was already a lot of people at this time, and the news that Yiguan ushered in reinforcements from Bingzhou spread throughout the entire military camp.

Last autumn, the second prince led a large army to the city walls of this pass, but was stopped here. After several fruitless attacks, the Yongjun also lost their spirits. The second prince saw that he could not make a breakthrough in Yiguan, so he could only take his personal guards and return to Xuzhen with a disgraced face, sitting in the national capital, and commanding the war in all directions.

And the commander of the Yongjun under the city of Yiguan is the second prince's old general Jingxing, not long after the second prince's Luan drove away, the Yiguan guard seized the opportunity to lead the troops to raid a wave, and won a lot.

Although there is no need to worry about being breached for the time being, there is always such a person holding a big stick and having ill intentions at anyone's doorstep, and he can't stand it.

What's more, these tens of thousands of troops are pressed here, so that Wang Rong is like a fish in the throat, and the situation is still grim.

Wang Rong's Bingzhou army occupied the key checkpoints in various parts of Bingzhou, and could go out of the border from Taihang and Bai Cheng to invade Hanoi County, but the second prince had no way to pose a threat to Wang Rong in Bingzhou.

Last year, after expelling the Bingzhou army, Jingxing also tried to attack Yiguan.

However, the Yongjun army not only lacked large-scale siege equipment, but also the Yiguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there were a large number of soldiers guarding the pass in the state army, and finally the Yongjun had to return in vain.

It was not until the early spring of this year that the changes in Yiguan attracted Jingxing's attention, and a large number of military scouts began to appear outside Yiguan.

However, what made Jing Xing wonder was why the Bingzhou army dared to go out of the customs with such fanfare

Explore.

Today's Hedong County is very different from Jingxing before he became the main general last year.

In order to let Jingxing have a better performance, the second prince directly handed over Hedong County to Jingxing and appointed Jingxing as the county guard of Hedong County.

The first thing Jingxing did after taking office was to strengthen the city defenses everywhere, and re-recruited a group of county soldiers, and Haoqiang, who was attached to the second prince in Hedong County, also united with the puppet emperor because he felt the threat of the state army.

Now the counties in Hedong County are already fortified cities, with many soldiers and generals, and they are not too afraid of the state army.

The county soldiers and the regular army of the Yongjun army in Hedong County also completed training under Jingxing, although they were not strong soldiers, but they were much better than before.

Most of the most basic military formation drills and orders have been known, and under Jingxing's strict training, the county soldiers who are like mud can barely stick to the wall. The various units of the Yongjun army were able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner during the exercise, and the orders were prohibited, which was quite a strong army.

As for the own troops brought by Jingxing, most of these soldiers were veterans who followed Jingxing to fight everywhere. After getting the permission of the second prince, Jing Xing used the weapons in the arsenal of Hedong County to arm all the troops under his command, and now the military force under Jing Xing's command is unprecedentedly strong.

At this time, just after the summer harvest, Jingxing naturally couldn't allow the state army to come out and harass him, once he let it loot a large amount of grain for supplies, it would be no different from the enemy.

Since its inception, the state army has been in the limelight now, blocking the Ji country in the east, chasing the beard in the north, and reaching the Guanzhong court in the south. After the unification and annexation of the state, the strength must have increased a lot.

In November last year, the second prince's maternal uncle Qi had just repelled the Liangzhou rebels in Longqi County, and the Guanzhong court finally had a good year......

Under the canopy, it was pitch black, and the Yongjun camp outside the gate was clear.

Jing Xing sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, silently eating the food in the bowl.

The light in the big tent was slightly dim, and his shadow was stretched out, and there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Jingxing heard the sound and sat still, but his eyes lit up, and the curtain was lifted by the armor outside the tent.

A general in a scarlet robe walked in, followed by four lieutenants.

As soon as the red-robed general walked into the big tent, he respectfully saluted Jing Xing, who was sitting behind the table: "Mengsu, meet the general."

The four lieutenants behind him also bowed and saluted, saying, "Meet the general."

These four people are the veterans of the Meng clan who have been following Mengsu to fight everywhere: Lu Cheng, Han Pu, Huang Qing, and Qi Mao.
