"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Su, for helping me Yan Lingjun to say that General Sun was surrendered!"

Back in the evening of August 20, at the banquet set up for Sun Shuke, Gan Ben, She Li and other newly surrendered generals, Yan Mo, the deputy general of Yan Lingjun, said this in a toast to Zhao Hongrun, which caused Zhao Hongrun's speechless eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

You must know that Zhao Hongrun never said that Sun Shuke, Gan Ben, She Li and others would join the Yan Ling Army.

However, if you think about it carefully, after all, Gongxian County is a battlefield belonging to the Yanling Army, and it is reasonable that Sun Shuke and others were absorbed by the Yanling Army after they surrendered.

So, Zhao Hongrun said after thinking for a while: "In this case, several generals such as Sun Shuke, Gan Ben, and She Li will be incorporated into the Yanling Army, but in order to facilitate command and scheduling, it must be adjusted slightly." ”

As he spoke, he opened his mouth in front of the generals of the Yanling Army at the banquet, and said the adjustment of the establishment of the Yanling Army.

He divided the Yanling army into three battalions: the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion.

First of all, the old department of the Yanling Army, which was originally from the Pingxuan Army, is certainly called a battalion, with Zuo Xunxi as the battalion general and Hua Yu as the deputy battalion general, with the generals Gong Yesheng and Zuo Qiumu and other old departments.

The number is about 20,000.

Secondly, the original Xiangcheng Chu State Army of the Yanling Army was included in the second battalion, which was supposed to be served by Nanmen Chi as the battalion general, but because Nanmen Chi was still in the Shangshui Army, it was temporarily replaced by Nanmen Huai, and as for the deputy battalion general, Zou Xin served as the deputy battalion general.

The number is about 20,000.

Thirdly, the newly incorporated army of Juyang County, including the 30,000 defenders of Juyang Jun Xiongli and the county division of Juyang County itself, were grouped into three battalions, with the newly surrendered general Sun Shuke as the battalion general and the deputy general Gan Ben as the battalion general.

The number of people is about 20,000.

Qu Cheng and Yan Mo's positions remain unchanged, and they are still the main and deputy generals of the Yanling Army.

The generals here listened quietly.

In all fairness, such a change in the establishment will not change the military situation of the Yanling Army, but as Zhao Hongrun said, it is just convenient for command and dispatch.

Moreover, the so-called first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion are not ranked, they are just a number.

According to the Wei State's habit of setting up the army establishment, the initial battalion establishment could only get the title of battalion headquarters in this numbered style, but if the meritorious service was outstanding, then it was possible to obtain the honor of special battalion headquarters.

For example, the Dangshan Army's battle camp and attack camp are the best examples in this regard.

These words, not to mention made the generals of the Zhuyanling Army present suddenly boil, but also made Zuo Xunxi, Nanmen Huai, and Sun Shuke feel inexplicably excited.

Because compared with the numbers of the battalions with beautiful meanings such as Huben, Huwei, and Fuyuan, the titles of the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion are too ugly, and if their respective battalions have made enough contributions, then they can change this ugly name of the battalion to the majestic number of the former battalion.

This kind of gimmick of naming power suddenly aroused the motivation of all generals, even Sun Shuke and others who had newly descended to Yanling Army.

In this regard, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo glanced at each other tacitly, and their faces were also very happy.

After all, they assisted Zhao Hongrun in creating the Yanling Army from scratch, and now this army has grown to three battalion headquarters and a full 60,000 troops, and no army in the territory of Wei has surpassed them in numbers.

It's a great sense of accomplishment.

Although the combat effectiveness of the three battalions of the Yanling Army was uneven, and the average strength of most of them could not catch up with the Dangshan Army, the Junshui Army, the Chenggao Army, and the Fencheng Army, this momentum of development was beyond the reach of any army in the Wei State.

Wrong!

There is an army with the development momentum, and it can still compete with the Yanling army!

That's the merchant water army!

After taking a sip of the wine in the cup, Yan Mo played with the wine glass in his hand for a while, and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, Gongxian has been defeated, and my Yanling army has taken the second city, I don't know what progress the Shangshui army has?" ”

Hearing this, the generals of the Yanling Army present put down the chopsticks in their hands one after another and looked at Zhao Hongrun intently.

"Are you sure you want to know?" To the surprise of Yan Mo and the others, Zhao Hongrun looked at Yan Mo with a smile.

Seeing the inexplicable smile on Zhao Hongrun's face, Yan Mo chuckled in his heart and said secretly: Won't it? Could it be that the Shang Shui Army has also conquered Qi County?

Under the earnest gaze of Yan Mo and other generals, Zhao Hongrun turned around and said to Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows behind him: "Duan Pei, come on." ”

"Yes!" Duan Pei nodded and clenched his fists when he heard this, and then said to Yan Mo with a smile: "Vice General Yan, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." …… The Shangshui army conquered Qi County half a day earlier than the Yanling army. ”

"How is that possible?"

Yan Mo was taken aback when he heard this, and the expressions of the generals of the first battalion present were also a little strange.

"You're not going to be shielding the merchant army, are you?" Zuo Xunxi, who was newly promoted to the commander of any battalion, looked at Duan Pei with a glint of distrust in his eyes.

Hearing this, Duan Pei, a big man, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This general, why do you want to protect the merchant army?" ”

I saw Zuo Xunxi looking at Duan Pei with suspicion, and muttered: "They are the Shangshui Army, you are the Shangshui Green Crow, who knows if you will protect them?" ”

As soon as the words fell, several generals such as Hua Yu, Gong Yesheng, and Zuo Qiumu nodded in agreement, and even Yan Mo looked at Duan Pei with a hint of distrust.

"This ......" Duan Pei couldn't help but laugh and cry.

You must know that they are Shangshui Green Crows, just because the Hidden Thief Village is located in Shangshui County, and they actually have no subordinate relationship with the Shangshui Army.

One side is the army, and the other side is the hidden thieves, how can there be any connection.

Thinking of this, Duan Pei smiled bitterly twice and said, "Generals, I, the Green Crows, will never take sides......

But no matter how he explained, Yan Mo and the others still didn't believe it.

After all, this matter can be big or small: if the Yan Ling army captured Yu County before the Shang Shui Army conquered Qi County, then the Yan Ling army's exploits in this battle would be far ahead; On the contrary, the military merits of the Yanling army and the Shang Shui army are not much different, and it is still possible to be overtaken by the Shang Shui army.

What does merit ranking mean?

This not only means a reward after the war, but also means a comparison of the combat strength of the Yanling army and the Shangshui army.

On the side, generals such as Nanmen Huai, Zou Xin, Sun Shuke, Gan Ben, and She Li looked at Yan Mo, Zuo Xunxi and other generals with some surprise, because the time in the Yanling Army was relatively short, they really didn't understand that the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, two armies of the same Chu people, were actually so hot in the competition for military exploits.

However, since they are now a member of the Yanling Army, they must stand on the side of the Yanling Army.

As a result, a room full of Yan Ling army generals stared at Duan Pei silently, which made Duan Pei and other hidden thieves with superb martial arts feel a lot of pressure, and even breathing was a little unsmooth.

And at this moment, Zhao Hongrun clapped his hands to stop the generals from bullying Duan Pei, and scolded with a smile: "Okay! If you lose, you lose, and you will win back next time. …… The king can guarantee that the crows will never take sides! ”

Hearing this, the generals retracted their gaze with a look of apprehension, after all, the credibility of His Royal Highness King Su in front of him is still quite reliable, since His Royal Highness said that it was the Shangshui Army that conquered Qi County first, then this matter will certainly not be false.

But Yan Mo was still a little skeptical, or rather puzzled.

"Your Highness, has the merchant army sent good news, why haven't I heard of it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun scolded with a smile: "Yan Mo, don't you still believe the words of this king?" …… The Shang Shui Army did not send good news, and the news that Qi County had been conquered by the Shang Shui Army was brought to the king by the Green Crows. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the generals of the Yanling Army in the house couldn't help but be a little surprised, you must know that not only their Yanling Army regarded the Shangshui Army as a fierce rival, but also the Shangshui Army's opinion of them. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that Wu Ji of the Shang Water Army would postpone the date of sending the good news to Zhao Hongrun after conquering Qi County.

"Do you want to ask the merchant army about the delay in sending the good news?" Zhao Hongrun glanced around at the generals present, and then fixed his gaze on Nanmen Huai's body, and said with a strange expression: "Because the Shang Shui Army is confronting a friendly army......

Friendly?

While all the generals had confused expressions, Nanmen Huai woke up because of Zhao Hongrun's deliberate gaze towards him, and his face gradually turned a little pale.

I saw him swallow his saliva, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness, is it ...... Is it Tian Tan's Eastern Route Army? ”

"There shouldn't be a mistake." Zhao Hongrun said with a slight frown.

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the room.

Tian Tan's Eastern Route Army?

Isn't Tian Tan still fighting Liyang? How can it be so fast?

Could it be that Liyang has been conquered by Tian Tan?

The faces of the generals present changed slightly, you must know that as far as they know, Tian Tan's Eastern Route Army, the area that this army is responsible for attacking is wider than their Western Route Army, so it is difficult to imagine that Tian Tan can actually attack the edge of the Huhe River in a date similar to their Wei army.

At the same time, as Zhao Hongrun judged, the Western Route Army led by Tian Tan, the general of Qi State, had already been in the eastern suburbs of Qi County at this moment, staring at the Wei Shang Navy flag fluttering in Qi County with a strange expression.

"Wei Jun?"

Tian Tan, who was riding his horse in front of the array, frowned, his expression a little displeased.

After all, according to the strategic plan previously designated by Lu Xi, the king of Qi, this city called Qi County should not be captured by the Wei army, but should be in the pocket of the Qi general Tian Tan.

According to the plan, the Western Route Army attacked Yu County, the Eastern Route Army attacked Qi County, and finally the two armies launched this fortress from the rear of Fuli Fortress at the same time, assisting the army of Qi King Lu Xi and attacking from three sides.

However, the Western Route Army robbed the city that the Eastern Route Army was going to attack.

Moreover, the Eastern Route Army refused to give up the city to Tian Tan!!

At this time, on the city wall of Qi County, Nanmen Chi took the men of the Nanmen clan and stood with the generals of the Shang Water Army, and also stared at the Qi army under the city with a solemn expression, as well as the general flag with the word Qi Tian Tan in his army.

The atmosphere between the two armies really seemed a little stiff. (To be continued.) )
