July passed silently.

August is coming.

Walking out of Guanyang City in the rainy season, the weather is sunny and cloudless.

After being baptized by the war, this city once fell into loneliness and panic, but with the victory of the dancing Yin soldiers, the hearts of the people quickly settled down.

During this time, the Yellow Turban Army did not launch a major counteroffensive.

Although Wei Tong's death in Guanyang caused panic among the Yellow Turban Army, Shangcai Gepo sent an army of 30,000 to guard the southwest position, and stationed troops and horses less than 50 miles away from Guanyang.

However, the Yellow Turban Army only built a camp for defense, and did not continue to take the initiative to attack Guanyang City.

It's not that the Yellow Turban Army doesn't want to regain Guanyang.

It's because in the battle of Pingyu, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a big loss.

Half a month ago, the Yellow Turban Liu Pigong had two divisions, sent 50,000 troops, stormed Pingyu, and planned to come down to this Runan county town, but it was very much attacked by the Runan Army and the Jiujiang Army, and the losses and wounded 10,000 soldiers and horses returned defeated.

Since then, Gong Du has retreated to Gepo, while Liu Pi occupies the main city of Shangcai and cannot hold on, while Huang Shao and He Manbu are entrenched in the northeast and northwest of Runan, forming a situation of mutual assistance between the north and the south.

But as the battles broke out more and more frequently, the Yellow Turban Army finally fell behind, and the living space was constantly compressed.

Because of this, the final decisive battle is also quietly approaching, which will be a battle of Han officers and soldiers in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban anti-thieves.

The decisive battle of Runan, in the minds of many people, is now only a matter of time.

And time is the most important thing for Makiyama now, he is now reorganizing his soldiers and horses, once the reorganization is completely completed and the combat effectiveness is integrated, he will be qualified to become one of the leading generals in this battle.

……

In the eastern part of the city, the sound of drills was deafening.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

One by one, the soldiers were carrying out a unified killing action, and the shouts were magnificent.

Mu Shan walked past with his hands behind his back, he looked at these soldiers, and his heart was a little more steady: "Cheng Luo, Li Yan, our personal guard battalion has almost recovered, but after the performance of the previous battle, I found that the command is still a little too general, so I decided to separate the three battalions to command, the two of you will assist me left and right, and each set up a battalion, my personal guard battalion only needs to leave me five hundred elite soldiers, and I can command five hundred soldiers like an arm!" ”

Mushan is self-aware, although he is invincible in the charge, but above the command, there are some flaws, not as good as the former Qu Shuai, not as good as those who died in battle Zhao Hong and others, if he only commands a thousand or hundreds of people, he is handy, but he personally commands too many soldiers and horses, and some can not be dispatched.

So he decided to separate the first main guard battalion under his command.

"No!"

Cheng Luo and Li Yan nodded and took the order.

Now the guard battalion is the main force, more than 2,000 soldiers, and they are also jointly commanded by the three of them on weekdays, and now the commander of the sub-battalion is also a good thing.

Mu Shan raised his head, looked at the barracks of the pioneer camp opposite, and asked in a voice, "How is the situation in the pioneer camp?" ”

In the first battle of Guanyang City, the pioneer battalion was the most seriously damaged, and was almost disabled, whether he could recover his combat effectiveness before attacking Shang Cai, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Lei Hu's kid is like his father's style, he acts decisively and resolutely, never drags mud and water, and is a little cheeky, he has dug up a lot of people from Li Yan's subordinates, my subordinates, and Zhou Cang's subordinates, and currently barely forms a vanguard battalion of five hundred people!"

Cheng Luo said: "Although the pioneer battalion is not as good as before in battle, but over time, after replenishing the troops, the combat effectiveness is immeasurable!" ”

"Don't be too indulgent of that kid!"

Mu Shan said with a smile: "I know that you all feel a little guilty about that kid because of Lei Hu's death, so you indulge him nonsense, this kid is still young, and he should be tortured!" ”

"We didn't release the water, mainly because the young master (Mu Longtu) was too shrewd, so he was fooled!" Cheng Luo and Li Yan hurriedly shook their heads.

"Forget it!"

Mu Shan waved his hand and said, "That kid has Jing'er behind him to give him advice, and it is also a kind of ability to deduct people from your hands!" ”

"Big boss, this is differential treatment!"

"It's infuriating!"

The two of them complained a little in their hearts.

"By the way, how is Deng Hong's Pingshan camp doing?"

Makiyama changed the subject and asked.

Deng Hong's Xinye County soldiers, as well as the Luyang County soldiers and Xi'e County soldiers who were subdued by Mushan, have been scattered and reorganized, forming a battalion of soldiers, more than 3,300 soldiers, and the three counties together actually have 5,000 soldiers and horses, but in the battle of Guanyang's loss, the battle of Guanyang's counterattack, and the battle of Mushan's forcible attack, there are only more than 3,300 left, but it can be regarded as a battalion with strong troops.

"Deng Hong, a scholar, should not be underestimated!"

Cheng Luo opened his mouth and said: "After he collected the soldiers of the two counties, it was indeed a little chaotic at the beginning, and there were many people who were not convinced, but he did not suppress it with iron and blood, but instead used very soft means, directly pulling one by one, forming a balance of power in the battalion, but silently controlling the strength in his own hands, this means is by no means general, plus his Xinye lineage is a veteran who has experienced bloody battles, and his combat effectiveness is restored quickly, even against our entire pro-military battalion, there is a thirty percent chance of winning!" ”

He thought for a while and said, "Big boss, do you send some guards to the Pingshan camp, Deng Hong is not our person after all!" ”

"No!"

Li Yan shook his head: "At this time, Deng Hong has a good impression of us, if we insert someone in, it is difficult to say whether it can play a role, I am afraid it will make Deng Hong disgusted!" ”

"That's right!"

Mu Shan nodded and said: "I handed over these county soldiers to Deng Hong, first, because the county government is afraid of me, I can't do too much, and Deng Hong is a person who can be relied on as an ally, with his commander guarding the left and right, we will be much safer, and we must not contradict Deng Hong at this time!" ”

After all, he was born in a yellow scarf and was not trusted.

If these county soldiers are forcibly recruited under their command, it will inevitably make the county government find a reason to deal with itself, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Jingping Camp?" The three of them walked and came to the east side of the school field, and Mu Shan suddenly raised his head and looked at the easternmost position of the school field, a training ground that had been reopened, and a flag flying in the wind.

The banner is set up on the mark, dancing yin, Jingping camp.

Jingping Camp is the name of a battalion after the Yellow Turban captives surrendered, and the main general is his son of Mushan, Mu Jing.

"This little rabbit cub, there are more soldiers and horses in a battalion than several of our current battalions!"

Mu Shan looked at the dense figures in Jingping's camp, and his heart became a little unbalanced.

A Jingping battalion, 3,500 soldiers, has now surpassed the sum of his personal guard battalion, pioneer battalion, and cavalry battalion, if it were not for the Pingshan battalion that was mobilized, I am afraid that the troops under his command would not be as good as Mu Jing.

It's infuriating to think about.

He asked Mu Jing to surrender, but he didn't expect that the recruitment was a recruitment, and he was recruited under his command.

"Big boss, although these Yellow Turban soldiers and horses have surrendered, but let them form their own battalion, isn't it too indulgent, if we rebel before the battle, won't we lose more than we gain!" Cheng Luo also saw Jing Pingying, he thought about it more, and said with some worry.

Although the commander of this battalion is the young head of the family, they have always surrendered to the prisoners and cannot be trusted.

"Don't worry!"

Mu Shan shook his head: "Jing'er is a ghost, His Royal Highness is young and young, but the means are not ordinary little girls, they can be calm, besides, Mu Jing should be alone now, we can't keep him hiding behind him!" ”

"Big Boss ......"

Cheng Luo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Makiyama.

"Zideng, after Lei Gong died in battle, I thought a lot, on the battlefield, you and I will die in battle, if we die in battle, what should they do, I have never wanted Jing'er to go to the battlefield, but there are some things, what can be avoided is luck, and what cannot be avoided is fate!"

Mu Shan said: "The battlefield is Mu Jing's fate, since none of us can escape, then let him learn to save his life on this battlefield!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Luo took a deep breath, understood Mushan's painstaking efforts, and nodded heavily.

"Your Excellency has high expectations for the Mulong Diagram?"

Li Yan asked tentatively.

"I used to be a hopeless man!"

Mu Shan put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance: "The battle of Wancheng, Qu Shuai died, they all died, I was just a little lucky to leave Wancheng earlier, so I escaped with my life, but after all, I fell into the grass, there was no hope in my life, I don't know when I will be forced to die by the officers and soldiers, if I say, when did I have ambitions, it should be that I saw Jing'er lead the army to destroy the Zhu family, my son, he was born restless, since I have no future, I want to lay a future for my son, Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, what does it matter! ”

Li Yan's heart was shocked, he never knew that Mu Jing had pinned all his hopes on Mu Jing, the young man who made him unexpectedly and a little admired, did have a unique charm on him, which was infecting many people, including himself.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped in.

"What?" Cheng Luo said quickly.

"The person who reported to the county lieutenant, the main force of the Nanyang soldiers has arrived!"

The scout dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his hand to report: "Now we are camping by the river ten miles outside the city!" ”

"They came quickly, it seems that Yingchuan, Jiujiang, Runan, Nanyang, the four counties of Taishou have been negotiated, ready to jointly attack Shangcai, in this battle, who is our Nanyang commander?"

"Nanyang Commander Huang Meng!" Scout debriefing.

"Come with me!"

Mu Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's go and greet our Lord Duwei, as well as our main army in Nanyang!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Luo and Li Yan nodded and followed closely behind.
