When Sun Chengzong received the news of the arrival of the army led by Yang Feng, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led all the generals to the city.

When they came to the city gate, they saw a group of men and horses rolling from the west, although they couldn't see the banner of that force from a distance, they could still feel a compelling might.

Soon, the first team to arrive stopped at a distance of about 300 meters from the city gate.

At the same time as they stopped, the team began to form a formation, and in a moment the formation was complete, and outside the city gate was lined up in several neat phalanxes, which had both infantry and horses, but neither cavalry nor infantry did not move.

Slowly, as the teams arrived one after another, there were more and more phalanxes outside the city, but no matter how many phalanxes increased, they all had a common feature, that is, all the sergeants in the phalanx stood in the most standard posture, and no one made a sound.

The snowflakes in the sky continued to fall, falling on the sergeants outside the city one after another, and the armor on their bodies slowly turned white, and at first glance on the city, they looked like sculptures standing still.

Seeing such a situation, the faces of the generals at the head of the city all changed greatly, and a wave of turmoil was set off in their hearts.

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath, pointed to the phalanx outside the city and asked the generals: "Everyone, wait a look at how the Jiangning army outside the city compares to my Liaodong army?" ”

All the generals were silent, and a bitter voice sounded for a long time: "Governor Mingjian, I might as well wait!" ”

"yes!"

Zhao Shujiao, who was standing next to Sun Chengzong, sighed lightly, with a look of shock and helplessness on his face, and said softly: "So that the governor can know that the last general has also fought side by side with the Jiangning army before, and Shengjing City has beaten the arrogant Tartars in the past so that they can only shrink behind closed doors."

even forced Huang Taiji to personally send his two biological daughters out, and at that time, the last general felt that the Jiangning Army was really the strongest army in the world.

For more than a year, the last general has been training hard with the goal of the Jiangning army, and originally thought that even if it is not as strong as the Jiangning army now, it should not be far behind, but who knows that when I saw it today, I found that the gap between the last general and the Jiangning army was not closer, but farther. ”

It stands to reason that words like Zhao Shujiao's words about destroying one's own prestige and growing the ambition of others are very taboo in the barracks, and I am afraid that as soon as the words are spoken, they will be despised or even scolded by the colleagues around them.

But after Zhao Shujiao finished speaking, no one around him spoke out against it, even Wu Sangui, who was originally very unconvinced by Yang Feng, was silent.

In fact, not to mention being treated, even Sun Zengzong's own mood is extremely complicated.

In the past two years, he has been writing to the imperial court, asking for the purchase of ordnance, armor and other materials from the Jiangning army. After several years of hard work, he had assembled an all-firearms unit with 6,000 Brown Bess firearms and an artillery battalion, and trained the army in imitation of the methods of the Jiangning Army.

originally thought that even if it was not as good as the Jiangning Army, it would not be much worse, but after seeing the military appearance of the Jiangning Army today, the original self-confidence in Sun Chengzong's heart began to waver.

However, Sun Chengzong has long passed the age of competitiveness, and as an emperor, he is not so narrow-minded, and that extreme and unwilling will soon be swept away.

At this time, the Chinese officer hurriedly came to report: "Qiyu Governor, Jiang Ninghou has arrived!" ”

Following the voice of the lieutenant officer, a group of cavalry appeared in front of everyone, and the speed of this group of cavalry was very fast, and soon came to the gate of the city.

Sun Chengzong said to the generals: "The Marquis of Jiang Ning has arrived, so you will go down with the old man to greet him!" ”

The generals said in unison: "The last general obeys!" ”

Sun Chengzong took the lead in descending the tower, and the generals followed him.

Wu Sangui is the youngest and only a small thousand households, so he is naturally ranked last.

After following everyone out of the city gate, he looked at the army that came one after another and the phalanx outside the city that were lined up one by one, and a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"This Jiangning Marquis's luck is really good, he actually has to be valued by the emperor, and he can command such a mighty and majestic army, how good it would be if I had such an army under my command!"

Just when Wu Sangui was thinking crankily in his heart, Zu Dashou walked to his side and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, I know that you have always been arrogant, and you are not very convinced by Jiang Ninghou, but you have to remember that when you meet Jiang Ninghou, you must put away your stinky temper, if you poke out any basket, your uncle will not be able to save you!" Do you understand? ”

When he said the last sentence, Zu Dashou's tone became stern.

"Yes, I see."

Wu Sangui hurriedly nodded, although he was arrogant on weekdays, he was not stupid, of course he knew what kind of person Yang Feng was.

To put it mildly, picking up the dignity of his identity, I am afraid that only Sun Chengzong, who is the emperor, can be compared with him in the entire Liaodong, and he is a thousand thousand miles worse than others, and if he really angers Yang Feng, people can easily crush him to death with a few fingers.

The reason why Zu Dashou came to remind him was also because his nephew's speech and demeanor were always a little dissatisfied with Yang Feng on weekdays. He was also afraid that Wu Sangui would say something amazing after seeing Yang Feng later, and it would be bad if he really wanted to provoke Yang Feng.

As he spoke, the two teams soon met.

With the sound of heavy footsteps, Yang Feng, who was tall and burly, with iron armor all over his body, and a bright red cloak, strode over.

He strode in front of Sun Chengzong and bowed to Sun Chengzong: "The Marquis of Jiangning, the governor of Zhengnan, and the general soldier of Nanjing, Yang Feng, have seen the governor!" ”

Strictly speaking, Yang Fenggui is the Marquis of Jiangning, the governor of the southern capital, and the title of official is above Sun Chengzong, but since he has written to Sun Chengzong last time, he is willing to be Sun Chengzong's deputy in this operation, so he calls himself an official.

However, Yang Feng said so, but Sun Chengzong didn't dare to really treat Yang Feng as his subordinate.

When Yang Feng saluted, Sun Chengzong hurriedly flashed sideways and did not dare to accept his salute, and quickly stepped forward to support Yang Feng, who was about to bow down: "The Marquis of Jiangning is serious, you are a prince who is related to the country, and you are the governor of Zhengnan who is enshrined by His Majesty, and when it comes to official positions, you are really above the old man, how can you take the initiative to salute the old man?" If you don't dislike it, Hou Ye will have an equal relationship with the old man, right? Jiang Ninghou has worked hard all the way from afar, and the old man has long been looking forward to it! ”

Yang Feng has always admired this outstanding military strategist, educator, scholar and poet in history, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to worry about Lao Duchen, this time Benhou led a total of 25,000 troops to come, that is, together with the robes of the Liaodong Army, he will wipe out the Manchu Tartars who have harmed my Liaodong for many years, and sweep away this scourge for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Good!"

Yang Feng's words were arrogant, no matter whether the generals liked him or were jealous of him, they had to applaud his words!
