Chapter 22: New Officials Take Charge

On the border line between Qi and Ye, an iron cavalry in green armor almost roared past the first line of defense outside Huling Pass.

The leader of the army was none other than the nominal supervisor of the Qi State, the actual new commander, a general of the Qingzhuang faction who came from the same general Ling Runmen as Dou Jiankai.

It's just that Dou Jiankai is from a famous family, while he is from the people, and it can even be said that he is reckless.

When this general attacked Qi from the east and north in Ye Jin, he was stationed in the south in case Former Shu took advantage of the chaos to join the war.

The young general, who was less than thirty years old, was dressed in general armor, and although the iron helmet on his head covered most of his face, it could be seen from the other half of his face that this person was definitely a first-class beautiful man.

It is no wonder that over the years, many people have said that he is an upstart who borrowed women to ascend to power.

Dong Haoyu, Dou Jiankai and Ling Siyuan are known as the three upstarts of Qi State, and Dong Haoyu is the youngest of them and the most cynical and unruly.

He is not like Dou Jiankai, he has the support of his family, and he is not like Ling Siyuan is a general, so that Dong Haoyu's reputation has not been as good as the other two over the years.

Especially in this war of Ye and Jin's joint attack on Qi State, Ling Siyuan was stationed in the east, making it difficult for Ye State, and Dou Jiankai was stationed in the north, so that the Jin State's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated.

Although in this war, it seems that it has nothing to do with Dong Haoyu, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that if there is no Dong Haoyu, Qianshu will definitely take advantage of the fact that Qi is being attacked on both sides to go north to join the battlefield.

At that time, waiting for the Qi country is just the word "dead country".

Fame doesn't mean everything, Dong Haoyu's reputation is not as good as the two, but this doesn't mean that his ability is inferior to the other two.

After Dong Haoyu was awarded the position of supervising the army by Yan Kai, the king of Qi, he took his own soldiers to the military camp on the West Road of Qi.

Although Dong Haoyu is nominally a prison army, he has actually become the commander of this Qi army, and Dou Jiankai belongs to the body of a guilty person, so he can only be dispatched by him.

But after Dong Haoyu came, he didn't drastically promote anyone, or belittle anyone, nor did he make friends with those thousands of commanders and commanders, every day he was like a person who had nothing to do, taking his pro-army into the mountains to hunt, or going to the border to see the scenery.

In the barracks, Dong Haoyu does not interfere in all military affairs and does not participate, just like an outsider, like what do you like, don't put me at ease.

This made the generals who were originally nervous, or had grievances against the Qi Imperial Court, a little dumbfounded, and even with Dou Jiankai, he couldn't understand what he wanted to do as a fellow disciple.

In the end, Dou Jiankai couldn't sit still, he could be idle here all day long and do nothing, so he couldn't do it.

What are you saying, he is still the coach now, and when the time comes, whether the attack loses or wins, it is all directly linked to him, after all, the people don't know the inside story.

If you win, it's okay to say, you will definitely be promoted to a knight, but if you lose, it will be very embarrassing, and all the infamy will have to fall on him Dou Jiankai.

After all, he Dong Haoyu is just a prison army, who can say that he is not?

When the time comes, he will be dismissed from office, who will he go to reason?

In the end, Dou Jiankai came up with a way to let him personally take his soldiers to Huling Pass to have a look, but fortunately, he also had the appearance of fighting a national war with others.

So there is today's scene of the pro-army of the Qi State exploring the Tiger Ridge.

It's just that these pro-soldiers are all veterans of a hundred battles selected by Dou Jiankai from the army, as well as some commanders and commanders.

Many commanders and commanders looked at the guy who was surrounded in the middle, and couldn't help but sneer a little, this person has thin skin and tender meat, where does he look like he can fight?

To say that Dou Jiankai is also a literary general, but he also has a killing breath on his body, but this person is good, he has no killing breath at all, if he is given a folding fan, if he is reciting a few words of poetry in his mouth, he must be a beautiful son.

But this guy who looks weak can't help but be weak, after all, he is the leading general sent by the king himself, and the seven or eight captains and more than a dozen commanders beside him don't dare to say anything.

This time, Qi said that it was an army of 200,000, but in fact there were 250,000 people, because there were 50,000 cavalry in it and it was not counted in the army, after all, the cavalry could not participate in siege warfare.

Except for some people who stayed in the army, the generals and commanders in the western march of the Qi army were basically present.

Qi is located in the Central Plains of the empire, the southernmost part of the country borders the capital of the Son of Heaven, and the eastern front borders Donghu, so the country is not very peaceful, in previous years, there were many wars on the battlefield on the eastern front, even in recent years, there were small frictions one after another, and soldiers on both sides died on the battlefield every day.

This time all the soldiers who were mobilized were veterans of the army who had participated in large-scale wars, and most of them were mobilized from the defense line used by the Eastern Front to prevent Donghu from moving south.

But for what?

Joining the army is to fight, just to earn military merits, but now it's good, the two armies have been facing each other for more than three months, and they don't even have a bird feather, and they still have a fart of military merit.

In the eyes of these commanders, he and those old brothers on the Eastern Front are already very different, and his soldiers have told him more than once that this is really a shame to be thrown to his grandmother's house, if there is no battle, he will simply resign and return to the Eastern Front.

Dong Haoyu suddenly stopped the war horse, and the whole team could only stop moving forward.

Hundreds of cavalry gathered together, although they did not have the momentum of devouring the sky and the earth, but they were still terrifying.

Dong Haoyu looked at Huling Pass from afar, with a hanging look at the corners of his mouth, which inevitably made people wonder if this guy really has the ability, or is it really the same as the rumors outside, this guy is relying on male color to get on top.

During this period of time, many commanders who had seen the boss from far away and not close to him were puzzled, this old man was really one of the three upstarts of the Qi Kingdom who could be as famous as his own commander?

Isn't it a liar who came out of a small corner to eat and drink?

Did the king accidentally use the wrong person?

Dong Haoyu said with a smile: "This Huling Pass is worthy of being known as the first pass in the world three hundred years ago, and when I see it today, it is really so, with this Huling natural danger, and the same frontier as this gourd mouth, not to mention 200,000, even if it is 400,000, it may not be able to beat the Huling Pass with 100,000 people stationed." ”

"Ridiculous, it's ridiculous, this was once a Xiongguan used by my Mingwu Empire to resist the eastward advance of the Western Regions, but today it is used against its own people. ”

"Since three hundred years ago, our Mingwu Empire has been declining, and the princes are constantly strife, but the combat power of the vassal states is also very different, to say that this combat power is the strongest, not boasting, nor deliberately belittling anyone, except for the southernmost border with the Son of Heaven Kingdom, the rest are all bordered by other vassal states. ”

"However, if you want to talk about this war and how to fight it, he Ye is the ancestor, and fortunately there is Ye State entrenched in the northwest, otherwise we will have to be attacked on both sides, one side is facing Donghu, and the other side is facing Gumo and so many tribes in the Western Regions. ”

"If you want to say who is the person I admire the most in my life, the first one must be the great general Ling Run, who once beat Donghu in one fell swoop and did not dare to go south to herd horses within ten years, and the second is a military general of Ye State, his name is Chu Qianwen. ”

"At that time, the general only curbed the momentum of Donghu's offensive, and adopted a war of attrition to exchange his life with Donghu, exchanging the lives of a few people for the safety of the majority, and in the end, Donghu could not afford to fight at all. ”

"But what's going on with him Chu Qianwen, when he first arrived in the Western Regions, he only brought a mere five hundred personal soldiers, but in just a few years, he established an iron-blooded cavalry army of nearly 10,000 people in the Western Regions, as well as tens of thousands of foot soldiers who dared to kill and die. ”

"It was also a look at his life and war history, which gave me a lot of inspiration, it turned out that the battle could be fought so fiercely, and people could die like this, which really didn't make me expect. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that Ye Guo was so stupid that he cut off his arm, buckled a hat of rebellion, killed Chu Qianwen's entire family, and also broke up the iron cavalry in the world in one fell swoop, this is nothing more than digging the city wall by himself, at this time, who will our Qi State fight if he doesn't beat him?"

Dong Haoyu turned his head to look at the thousands of commanders in the audience, and said loudly: "It is said that this person fights for a breath, and the ghost fights for a stick of incense, no way, we were born a few years later than them, and we don't have the high-ranking background and family background of others." ”

"What shall we do?"

"What can we do?"

"I can only rely on my own fists and feet, punch by punch, kick by kick. ”

"But even if we kick with our feet, we have to kick ourselves out of the sunny avenue. ”

Hearing this, several captains in the prime of life subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and then looked at this young guy, and immediately felt so tall and strong.

The sunlight reflected on the young general's iron armor, and it seemed dazzling for a while.

Dong Haoyu turned his head to look at Dou Jiankai, and said solemnly: "Senior brother, you and I are originally from the same family, but I know that you have never looked down on me, and you think that I am a civilian reckless man, and I am not worthy of being a senior brother with you at all." ”

"But I might as well tell you, it doesn't matter if you look down on me or not, now that I'm the master, you have to listen to me. ”

Dong Haoyu pointed to the Huling Pass not far ahead: "I said that if you go to fight Huling Pass, you have to go to Huling Pass, because I am the main general, and you are now an assistant." ”

Hearing this, Dou Jiankai squinted his eyes, and anger inevitably appeared in his eyes.

What does this mean?

Are you showing off to yourself?
