Chapter 548: Prelude to the Battle of Heaven (Third Update)

More than a dozen miscellaneous generals in the entire Yanmen County were waiting for the punishment of Zhang Rang issued by the court.

But what they never expected was that.

Three orders came down from above the court that shocked them.

The first order, Ouyang Jingyun was demoted to the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses.

The second order was to allow Zhang Rang to transfer men and horses from all over Yanmen County, with a total of 20,000 troops!

The first order, everyone can understand, after all, although Zhang Rang did things this time, Ouyang Jingyun, as the commander of the soldiers and horses, couldn't even control the generals below, and it was normal to be punished a little.

Moreover, although Ouyang Jingyun was demoted, the power was still in his hands, and basically there was almost no difference between this punishment and no punishment.

But the second order shocked everyone.

Because the imperial court actually allowed Zhang Rang to transfer men and horses from all over the country, the total number of troops could reach 20,000!

There are more than a dozen miscellaneous generals in Yanmen County, and the largest number of troops under his command is only 5,000.

The only one with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command was Ouyang Jingyun, the commander of the soldiers and horses, but his command was only 15,000 people.

In the previous battle with Zhang Rang, there were only 10,000 people left.

Now, Zhang Rang is allowed to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses.

This is not to allow Zhang Rang to expand the number of troops under his command to 20,000, but to draw troops and horses from the commands of various generals and draw out 20,000 people!

20,000 people, plus Zhang's own soldiers and horses.

All of a sudden, although Zhang Rang was still just a small ragtag general, he actually became the general with the most troops in Yanmen County.

As for the third order, it was only then that everyone understood what was going on.

The king of Jizhou ordered Zhang Rang to lead the soldiers and horses to Tiandang Mountain at the junction of the three counties to sweep away the thieves.

At the same time as getting this order, Zhang Rang also got a secret letter sent to him by Yuan Yongtan, and he naturally knew that although this time was a huge challenge, it was also a very good opportunity.

As long as he makes good use of this opportunity, he can not only make the position of the Frostfall Division in Yanmen County more stable, but also establish his own power in the army from now on.

This is a gain beyond Zhang Rang's plan.

At the beginning, Zhang Rang didn't even care too much about his position as a town guard general.

And now Yuan Yongtan told himself that as long as he swept the entire Tiandang Mountain, then he could take office and become the commander of the soldiers and horses of Yanmen County.

At that time, it will not be Ouyang Jingyun who will handle himself, but Ouyang Jingyun who will be at will.

So, Zhang Rang immediately summoned all the deputy directors of the Frostfall Division.

During this time, the Judgment Gate not only launched its intelligence work in Yanmen County, but also began to infiltrate Taiyuan County and Hedong County step by step, and even the surrounding counties such as Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Meiji also began to insert the people of the Frost Descending Division little by little.

Therefore, the Judgment Gate is also recruiting people now, and among these people recruited, there is one person who is Zhang Rang's old acquaintance.

was promoted to the headquarters of the Double Sculls Division by Zhang Rang as one of the important persons in charge of the Guilty Judgment Gate.

This person is none other than Zhao Zhong in the original Sword Rain Villa.

Although Zhao Zhong is not the backbone of the Conviction Gate now, with Zhang Rang's secret help, it won't be long before Zhao Zhong can have a pivotal position in the Conviction Gate.

At this moment, all the deputy directors and important backbones of the Frostfall Division have arrived.

Zhang Rang sat in the hall and whispered to everyone: "Everyone knows that I, Zhang Rang, have two identities in Yanmen County, one is the master of the Frostfall Division, and the other is the town guard general of Yanmen County. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of the big battle that broke out outside Leijia Fort before.

"My lord, but Ouyang Jingyun has made things difficult for you?"

Cao Jie asked with some concern.

Mo Keduo slapped the table, "My lord, as long as you give an order, I will go and slaughter that Ouyang Jingyun!"

Zhang Rang smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's just a little Ouyang Jingyun, don't be afraid." Now, the king of Jizhou has given me a task, and if this task is completed well, the position of the commander of the soldiers and horses of Yanmen County will be mine. It's just that this task is a bit tricky. How much do you know about Tiandang Mountain at the junction of the three counties?"

Hearing Zhang Rang mention this place, many people's faces changed.

Especially the master of the Kitano Crazy Knife Gate, Kitano Tianlow.

"Lord Si, to be honest, Tiandang Mountain was attacked at the beginning, and it was attacked three times, and the third time, the former commanders of Yanmen County died. So this matter can only be stopped. Now let you attack Tiandang Mountain, to be honest, if there are 100,000 troops, I think we can win, but even if the troops of the entire Yanmen County are combined, it will not exceed 100,000, right?"

Zhang Rang didn't expect that Beiye Tianlow would know so much about Tiandang Mountain.

"Deputy Director Kitano, if you know the situation of Tiandang Mountain, let's talk about it first. ”

"Although this Tiandang Mountain is a cottage, and it is full of bandits and bandits, but Green Forest Road has always been regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes. Tiandang Mountain can also be regarded as a force with some fame in the rivers and lakes. And the three masters of Tiandang Mountain are all once prominent figures in the rivers and lakes. ”

"The third master, Dong Fengnian's favorite general Xu Rong, who rose in the Yellow Turban Dao Rebellion! This person had the cultivation of the Four Gang Realm and Seven Levels at the beginning, and in addition to his own extremely strong strength, he was also good at arranging troops. It can be said that a very important reason why Tiandang Mountain cannot be broken is that it has the command of Xu Rong. ”

Zhang Rang nodded and secretly wrote down this person.

"The second leader is the former son of Dong Fengnian; Lu Fengji's fierce general, known as the double-edged Splitting Heaven Zang Nukou! This person's strength is only higher than Xu Rong. I once had a battle with him, and I have to admit that his strength is really very strong! If you really want to make a move against Tiandang Mountain, Zang Nukou alone can block all our masters. And I'm worried, this person has now broken through to the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm!"

Zhang Rang never expected that on Tiandang Mountain, there might be an existence of a Five Qi Dynasty.

"The big boss is a once famous strong man in the rivers and lakes. Six-fingered Golden Dragon Hua Feirong!"

Hearing this name, everyone present was shocked.

Because Hua Feirong is a grandmaster of the Five Qi Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhang Rang wanted to know why the former commander of the soldiers and horses of Yanmen County had failed to attack Tiandang Mountain three times.

With such three people in charge, how could it be possible to knock down Tiandang Mountain.

The thoughts of everyone sitting in the hall at this moment.

"Master Master, do we have to do something to Tiandang Mountain?"

Zhang Rang nodded, "You must do it!"
