The 285th Expedition on the Eve
Yang Mansion, Main Hall.
The generals in Zhenyu City walked in and saluted with fists.
Yang Chengying got up and returned the salute.
When he sat down, the generals sat down in turn, and immediately greeted him with a gossip.
Some asked about the physical condition, some asked about diet and daily life, and some asked how the mood was.
Yang Chengying replied one by one with a smile.
Inside the main hall, it's so lively.
At this time, the guards strode in: "Dashuai, Sun Jinglue's messenger has arrived." ”
"Ask him to come in." Yang Chengying raised his hand.
The guards withdrew, and after a few moments, led the messenger in.
The hall was silent at the moment.
The envoy bowed and saluted: "I heard that General Yang was pardoned by His Majesty, and Sun Jingluo specially sent a villain to say goodbye." ”
Yang Chengying also got up and returned the salute slightly: "If Sun Jingluo hadn't interceded in front of His Majesty, I wouldn't have been pardoned so quickly." When you get back, please convey your thanks on my behalf. ”
"Definitely, definitely."
The envoy changed his words: "Sun Jingluo sent the villain here, and there is another big thing. ”
Yang Chengying smiled: "Needless to say, I already know that I am preparing to discuss this matter with my generals." ”
"That's very good."
The envoy's face was overjoyed, "Jianyu Dabeile Daishan mobilized heavy troops and attacked the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army with all his might. Gaizhou's guard Liu Xingzuo was transferred, Gaizhou was empty at this time, and the general army was asked to attack and harass Liu Xingzuo and his Han army back. ”
Yang Chengying nodded and said, "Please report to Sun Jingluo, I will definitely do it." ”
"That being the case, the villain wants to go back to his life and say goodbye."
"Farewell."
Yang Chengying asked Wu Sangui to send the messenger to the door on his behalf.
When they walked out of the main hall, Yang Chengying sat down.
"It seems that the situation in western Liaoning is so dangerous that we cannot hesitate for a moment."
Yang Chengying explained the stakes and said to the generals: "It is urgent to send troops, and the generals will listen to the order!" ”
The generals got up: "Listen to the commander's orders." ”
"Sun Yuanhua, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Huang Long, Zhang Cunren."
Every time Yang Chengying recites a name, the corresponding general should say "in" and go out.
"The above generals led their troops and horses to march with me, each with one hundred and twenty men. Shang Kexi informed the female soldiers and female medical nurses to accompany the army. ”
After Yang Chengying sent them the arrows, he said loudly: "There will be a two-day holiday after tomorrow, the third day will be in place, and the fourth day will lead the army to the battle." ”
The five men received the arrows of the troops, saluted with fists, and turned to leave.
Sun Yuanhua brought artillery, because Peng Qigu wanted to stay to defend the city, and the artillery force was the main force to defend the city.
Therefore, the person in charge of leading the artillery was Sun Yuanhua, who had been an instructor, and commanded an iron Tianyou exterminator cannon and four bronze Hongyi cannons.
Shang Kexi was in charge of bringing firearms troops, female soldiers and female medical guards, and after he left, the firearms unit was temporarily handed over to Bao Chengxian's command.
Kong Youde led the cavalry troops, Huang Long led the heavily armored sword and shield infantry of the Shanzi Battalion, and Zhang Cunren led the reconnaissance Eagle Eye team.
"The Water Battalion and the Fire Battalion each selected one hundred and twenty people, and they were all under my personal command."
Yang Chengying looked at Xu Shang: "Have you picked them all?" ”
"Back to the big handsome, I have already picked it, and Chen Jisheng will take it to listen to your orders."
Xu Shang responded.
Chen Jisheng!
Another familiar name.
Yang Chengying didn't have time to think about it, so he said: "According to what I just said, let's execute it." ”
"Yes."
Xu Shang took the arrow with both hands and retreated.
Yang Chengying said: "Zhou Wenyu, you organized the people to transfer the materials, whether the arrangements were appropriate." ”
Zhou Wenyu came out: "It's all in order." ”
The bruises on his face still haven't gone away.
"Okay, do as I just said."
Yang Chengying gave him the arrow, and then sat down.
"Mr. Fan, General Bao, after I leave, Zhenyu City will be handed over to the two of you."
After Yang Cheng finished talking to the two of them, he faced the generals again: "During my absence, all affairs are scheduled by the two of them, and no one is allowed to violate the order." ”
"Yes." The rest of the generals clenched their fists.
"Loose bills."
The generals withdrew.
Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian left last.
Only Geng Zhongyu was left in the hall.
"You go back to Port Arthur and inform your brother Geng Zhongming that everything will be done according to the plan."
Yang Chengying carefully advised: "You tell him that he must be smart, don't fold my old book into it." ”
"My subordinates understood." Geng Zhongyu clasped his fists and saluted, "Mr. Ning is also with the army, and there won't be much of a problem with him." ”
"In addition, tell Su Xiaojing to act according to the plan."
"Yes."
The dispatch has been basically completed, just wait for two days of pre-war vacation, one day to retract, and the sword will be unsheathed.
This time, 1,380 soldiers, 300 sailors, 2,300 soldiers and cooks, 80 large and small warships, 280 birds, 5 heavy artillery, and 240 horses were mobilized.
In addition to these, a large number of mules, pack horses, and carts were used.
These have been prepared for a long time and have been rehearsed many times.
Yang Chengying hoped that through this dispatch of troops, he would practice the important concept of cooperation among various arms.
As a female soldier, Ah Ju also got a holiday and left the barracks to go home happily.
She took the money she had given her makeshift and bought a bag of things on the street, carried it on her shoulder, and went home.
"Mother, I'm back."
"Aju is back!"
Aju's mother was overjoyed when she saw her daughter coming back with something.
"Where's Daddy?" Ah Ju asked while carrying things to the hall.
"Your father went down to the field to see the crops, and since he was beaten by the handsome man that day, your father is much more honest."
Ah Ju Niang said, helping her daughter unload the cloth bag.
Ah Ju opened the cloth bag, took out the contents one by one, and put them on the table.
There is salt, mosquito coils, and snacks.
The greedy brother came when he smelled it, and he didn't thank his sister for picking it up.
Ah Ju affectionately touched her brother's little head.
Looking at the youngest brother again, he was already babbling and felt like he was starting to learn to speak.
"A few days ago, I heard that you were going on an expedition, and your father and I were worried, and I heard that you came back safely, but we never saw you leave the barracks."
Ah Ju Niang chattered, "I remember that you have a fake, why don't you come back?" ”
"In that dispatch, we almost always hid behind the men and did the simplest work."
Ah Ju said: "And many people have not done a good job, so they need to train hard. ”
"Fighting a war will cost you your life, and you must not be reckless."
"It's not about being strong, it's about being yourself."
"Hey, the girl is older, and she already has her own opinions, and the mother can't talk about you."
"Mother."
Ah Ju affectionately grabbed her mother's wrist and felt very kind.
At this time, Ah Ju's father came back with a straight face.
Ah Ju hurriedly got up: "Dad." ”
Seeing Ah Ju, Ah Ju's father frowned: "I heard that you are going out to fight." ”
"Well, stay at home for two days and leave." Ah Ju said.
"War is no joke, you have to be careful."
Ah Ju's father held back for a long time, and finally said this heartwarming sentence coldly.
"Well, I will." Ah Ju nodded heavily.
Blood is thicker than water, even if her daughter doesn't listen to herself, she is still very sad to hear that she is going out to fight.
Ah Ju's father immediately went to the yard to kill a chicken, and then called his eldest son and daughter-in-law home, and the family had a good meal.
