Chapter 874: The Beginning of the Southern Expedition!

"Say, who is bewitching the young envoy?" In the Dongzhou military camp, in the big tent of the inner camp, Zhang Ren got up and kicked the middle-aged man in front of him.

"General Zhang Zhonglang, it's not me, I'm just acting on orders!"

The middle-aged man vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, and you can imagine how heavy this kick was.

"Did I tell all of you at the beginning, under the command of the First Lord, as long as anyone dares to respond to the order of the young envoy, I will kill him directly!" Zhang Ren's face was as gloomy as water, and he was angry.

"General Zhang Zhonglang, you can't kill me, I'm the ...... of the young envoy"

The middle-aged man's pupils changed color, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Click!"

Before his words fell, he was pierced through the chest by Zhang Yi's sword.

"General Zhonglang, you are discouraged!"

Outside the camp, a scribe walked in, and Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "This matter must be just a moment of confusion, and now there is nothing irreparable, presumably Ming Hou will not care, if Ming Hou does not believe you, he will not let you continue to lead the army!" ”

This scribe is the left general of the Dongzhou Army, named Yang Huai, who is the only remaining general among Liu Yan's generals, and is also a rare henchman under Zhang Ren.

"Shao Ling, am I worried about Minghou, how much trust Minghou has in me, I know it, I need to be cautious in everything I do now, how many people around me are eyeliner, I can't count them, but I don't want to send someone to meet me secretly at this time, how dangerous!"

Zhang Ren drew his sword, wiped the blood stains on the sword with a strip of cloth, and said coldly: "The young envoy is not sensible, at this time, he is ready to move, and he will inevitably become the object of use by some people, these people don't care about the life and death of the young envoy, they just want to deal with Minghou, when the time comes, the matter has reached an irreparable point, even if you and I beg Minghou with our lives, we will not be able to save his life, so that we will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

"Why did the young envoy suddenly send someone to recruit you?"

Yang Huai looked at the corpse of the middle-aged man on the ground and said in a deep voice.

This middle-aged man was sent by the state pastor's office, holding Liu Zhang's name post, to recruit Zhang Ren, which made Zhang Ren very angry, and he directly killed this person with a sword.

"In the previous rebellion between Shu County and Guanghan, I am afraid that there will be the actions of the young envoy!"

Zhang Ren clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "The young envoy is unwilling to be a puppet, but he doesn't know that such a result is already the best plan of the first master, just to save his life, when the first lord is there, he can't count Ming Hou, he doesn't even have one-tenth of the first lord's city government, how can he be Ming Hou's opponent!" ”

"The rebellion between Shu County and Guanghan will inevitably involve the Southern Expedition, will the Marquis of Ming be annoyed and angry at that time?"

Yang Huai's face turned slightly.

"Probably not!"

Zhang Rendao: "This matter is still in the calculation of Minghou, otherwise, at this time, the young envoy has already landed on the ground, but there are some things that can be one or two, not three, it seems that we have to do a little more ruthlessly, otherwise the young envoy will not give up, we must let him give up, peace of mind as his Yizhou pastor, otherwise sooner or later it will cause a catastrophe, just a matter of Yizhou, we can still keep him, but once he becomes the object of Chang'an's use, then I can be difficult to intercede!" ”

As he spoke, he walked up, cut off the head of the middle-aged man directly, kept it in lime, and then put it in a wooden box and handed it to Yang Huai: "Shao Ling, send someone to send the head back, directly to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion!" ”

"Got it!"

Yang Huai nodded.

"General Zhonglang, the military order from Beiwutang has come down, order us to immediately pull out the camp, and within a month at the latest, we must enter Yizhou County, take the initiative to provoke, and provoke this war!" Sima Li Le, the right army of the Dongzhou Army, walked in and said.

Li Le was born as a general of the White Polish Army, and when he returned to the herdsmen, he fought with the herdsmen from the beginning of the Kwantung Campaign, and later the Baibo Army was merged into the Yellow Turbans, and he was the chief general of the Baibo battalion.

After the reorganization of the army in Baidi City, he was transferred to the Dongzhou Army and became Sima of the Right Army of the Dongzhou Army and one of the deputy generals of the Dongzhou Army, second only to Zhang Ren.

"Beat the drums, assemble the army!"

Zhang Ren is no stranger to military orders, he has already ventilated before, and now it is just a formal military order, after he heard the military order, he immediately moved: "Pass my military order, the captains of all departments and generals above Sima will gather in the main camp of our Chinese army within half an hour!" ”

"No!"

The herald immediately went down to give the order.

Half an hour later, the main camp of the Chinese army, on the conference table of the rectangular table, one by one the generals sat left and right, some of these generals were the original generals of the Dongzhou Army, and some were transferred from the pastoral army.

"It's a pocket watch!"

Zhang Ren's first task was to put down a batch of new armaments, and then send some things sent by Beiwutang to assist in the war, this pocket watch is one of them, since he came into contact with this pocket watch, Zhang Renai spared no effort.

"At present, there are only so many, the main generals and deputy generals above the military marquis are all equipped together, time is the most critical factor on the battlefield, our battle, to play the prestige of the Dongzhou Army, there is no room for loss!"

As a general on the battlefield, he is very aware of the importance of time, Beiwutang sent this batch of pocket watches, at first it was inconspicuous, when he thoroughly tested the effect, he knew profoundly, how much power it would play on the battlefield.

So even if he sends it out, he seems to be cautious.

"No!"

The generals received a box of pocket watches, which were all pocket watches produced by Jiangzhou Watch Factory, about the size of a palm, with a chain, which could be hung on the body, and when you opened it, you could see that the hour hand was turning.

They don't know how to watch pocket watches, but they can observe the movements on them.

"How does this work?"

"Are they able to move?"

"It's automatically spinning!"

"Is it to test the hours?"

"I can read the words, there are twelve hours on it, is it where the pointer goes, it refers to the hour when it enters!"

"Is there anything else so magical?"

"This is an hourglass, so much better!"

After a detailed discussion, the hour hand of this pocket watch is actually very well understood, so it took them about a quarter of an hour to understand it, and they naturally loved it.

"Now we are in time!"

Zhang Ren took out his pocket watch and said, "Today is February 23rd, two times in a moment!" ”

"Yes!"

"It's a little biased, tune it up, this small turn can be transferred!"

"My positive!"

"Just right!"

Everyone set the time.

"From today onwards, we will launch a campaign against the unification of Yizhou, and the Dongzhou Army will be the vanguard, and we will pull out the camp in an hour!" Zhang Ren put away his pocket watch and began to arrange the task: "Now I announce the task, the first battalion of Dongzhou must arrive in Qianwei Zhuti within three days, that is, on February 26, in the morning and at the hour of Chen!" ”

"Yes!"

The captain of the 1st Battalion stood up to take the order.

"The second battalion of the Dongzhou Army, the battalion of one hour, on the 27th of February, must enter Hanyang!"

"No!"

"The ...... of the Third Battalion of the Dongzhou Army"

“……”

Zhang Ren kept assigning tasks, and then disbanded the meeting, and the entire Dongzhou battalion quickly moved.

The battle of Yizhou's reunification has officially begun!
