Chapter 53: The Divine Army of the Heavens
Duan Hongyu was worried about Peng Xianguo's resurgence, so he ordered the Moth Army to immediately set out and go to Shandong to join the coalition forces of Wanjian Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Qijue Ridge.
The army marched north, camping on a sandy beach that night.
Duan Hongyu couldn't sleep in the camp, so he got up and put on his coat and walked around the camp. As he walked to a barracks, he heard sobs coming from inside. He was slightly stunned, and then carefully stood outside and listened. I only heard a sergeant say: "Now that the lord and son are gone, how can this be good?"
Another sergeant said, "Didn't the lord hand us over to Duan Gongzi?
The man in front of him: "But we have a common enmity with Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, we killed so many people in Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, and now it has fallen into the hands of that kid surnamed Duan, can we have ours?"
The man in the back said: "Now that the green forest has become a family, Duan Gongzi will not embarrass us if he thinks about it!"
The man from before: "Otherwise, Duan Hongyu almost died under Lin Ye's knife in Qingshakou that day, if it wasn't for Tang Ma carrying him back, he would have turned into dirt now." Now that he has gained power, how will he let us go? He is so high, we are all finished with just one word, I really can't understand why the lord is so confused, why he entrusts us to the enemy!"
The man behind him sighed and said, "The big man turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands into rain, who cares about us subordinates! We can only take one step at a time, and if we can't do it, we will go to the king of heaven!"
Duan Hongyu said secretly: "Although the Moth Army has surrendered to me on the surface, in fact, the military heart is far from being attached!" He didn't dare to stop for a long time, so he tiptoed away.
Duan Hongyu came all the way to Shangguan Hongying's barracks. He flicked the door curtain twice, and Tie Bingxin came out and said, "Brother Duan, why are you here?"
Duan Hongyu said: "I'll take a look at Miss Shangguan!"
Tie Bingxin said: "Miss Shangguan has already slept!"
Duan Hongyu said, "How is her health?"
Tie Bingxin said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that it's too sad, and it will get better soon!"
Duan Hongyu didn't want to disturb Shangguan Hongying, so he sat on a log in front of the barracks.
Tie Bingxin saw Duan Hongyu's worried look, and asked, "Brother Duan, the Moth Army has all returned to Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, this is a great thing, what are you worried about?"
Duan Hongyu said: "Although I have successfully taken over the Moth Army, the army's heart is unstable. In the past few days, many sergeants have deserted, and I am afraid that it will not take a few months for the Moth Army to fall apart!"
Tie Bingxin was also very anxious: "How can this be good, why don't you hurry up and transfer the army of Ten Thousand Blades Mountain to prevent the sergeant from leaving." ”
Duan Hongyu said: "This is even worse, the Moth Army is already in the same water and fire as the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, and when the two sergeants meet, they will inevitably be very red-eyed, in case of a conflict breaking out, I am afraid that they will not be able to control it at all." ”
Tie Bingxin nodded: "Yes! This matter is indeed a bit tricky. ”。
Duan Hongyu sat for a while, then got up and said: "Iron girl, you must take care of Miss Shangguan, with her in the army, we have a magic weapon to stabilize the moth army, if she is gone, the moth army will have to make a big mess!"
Tie Bingxin said: "Brother Duan, you just have to rest assured, there will be nothing wrong with me in Shangguan girl!"
Duan Hongyu confessed a few more words to Tie Bingxin, and then dragged his tired body back to the camp.
The army marched all the way north, and finally arrived at the Shandong coalition garrison on this day. Duan Hongyu didn't dare to let the Moth Army and Ten Thousand Blades Mountain meet, so he ordered to camp ten miles away from the coalition army.
When Lu Xue'an and the Bai family brothers heard that Duan Hongyu had not only invited the peerless talent Zuo Hanbing, but also collected the powerful Moth Army, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly rode a fast horse to the camp to congratulate.
Duan Hongyu was in the camp to discuss the military situation with Zuo Hanbing, Zhan Tianlun, and Tang Ma, and when he heard that Lu Xue'an and the Bai family brothers had arrived, he hurriedly welcomed them out of the camp and introduced Zuo Hanbing to Lu Xue'an and the Bai family brothers. Lu Xue'an and the Bai brothers couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Zuo Hanbing's heroic appearance and good conversation.
The heroes took their seats in the camp. Lu Xue'an said: "Tenth brother, now that there are more and more troops, the time is ripe, and it is timely for you to inherit the position of generalissimo of the world's righteous army." ”
Duan Hongyu said: "But I'm afraid that will attract the attention of the Qing soldiers!"
Lu Xue'an said: "It's okay, the Qing army has swept several times, and each time it is in vain, as long as we avoid and don't fight, they can't do anything to us!"
Duan Hongyu was still hesitant.
Zuo Hanbing said: "Brother, Lord Lu Zhai is right, if you don't inherit the position of generalissimo of the world's righteous army, you won't be able to command the whole army." If the Moth Army is forcibly merged into the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain like Erlong Mountain and the Seven Peerless Mountains, it will definitely cause the Moth Army to be dissatisfied, and if there is no internal strife, then the gains will outweigh the losses!"
Duan Hongyu agreed.
In the early morning of this day, the sky was clear, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and there was not much wind. Nearly 80,000 troops from Ten Thousand Blades Mountain, Moth Army, Erlong Mountain, and Seven Peerless Mountains gathered in front of a temporary high platform. Zuo Hanbing, Zhan Tianlun, Tang Ma, Lu Xue'an, Shangguan Hongying, Tie Bingxin, Pang Tianyue, Yuan Tianhua, Chang Baiwei, Bai Yunyang, Bai Yunyi and other leaders stood solemnly on the stage.
When he was young, after Duan Hongyu bathed in incense, he slowly walked up to the high platform through the crowd surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, and led the leaders and soldiers to burn incense and bow down in the direction of Xi'an.
After the ceremony, the heroes stood up from the ground. At this time, Zhan Tianlun walked over, holding the demon slaying sword in both hands and respectfully handed it to Duan Hongyu's hand.
Duan Hongyu took the demon sword with both hands, stood up and walked slowly to the front of the stage, pulled out the sword in his hand with a "choked" sound, and said loudly: "I, Duan Hongyu, have become the generalissimo of the world's righteous army today, and I will do my best and die." In this life, I will never be king, I hope that all brothers can work with me with one heart and one mind, resist foreign insults, and return peace to the Quartet, and the people are safe. ”
All the sergeants were thunderous for a while, and the sound shook all over the world, and they were all very excited about the great union of the green forests in the world.
Duan Hongyu immediately announced that Zuo Hanbing and Shangguan Hongying were the deputy marshals of the soldiers and horses of the Righteous Army of the World, and Zuo Hanbing also served as the military advisor of the Righteous Army of the World.
After this grand meeting, Duan Hongyu's transformation of the righteous army was accelerated, and with the assistance of Zuo Hanbing, he broke the original structure of each faction, and reorganized the soldiers of Wanjian Mountain, Moth Army, Erlong Mountain, and Qijue Ridge according to the style of the army, and divided them into six major regiments, namely Shangguan Hongying, Tang Ma, Pang Tianyue, Chang Baiwei, Yuan Tianhua, and Lu Xue'an, and unified as the "Zhentian Army". According to Zuo Hanbing's plan, Duan Hongyu did not rush to attack Wanjian Mountain, but fortified the wall, avoided face-to-face confrontation with the Qing army, strictly disciplined and patiently developed. The Zhentian Army also set up a special Luocha team to purge the scum internally, collect intelligence and assassinate and sabotage externally, and sent a number of elite small units to recruit troops everywhere.
