"Is there anything to be happy about?" Li Hong looked at Tian Chong, Li Han and Fu Qiang standing beside him, all expressionless, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "How do you look at your appearance, it seems that you are unhappy." ”

"Congratulations, my lord, you are already a captain." Li Han couldn't help it and shouted loudly.

Li Hong was stunned for a moment, then understood, and he immediately asked Xian Yufu: "Is the imperial court coming?" ”

"Yes. Lord Assassin Shi felt that the court's rewards and punishments were inappropriate, and he had already written a book. Xian Yufu said, "Lord Assassin Shi and Wang Taishou have written successively, telling us to try not to make a noise, so as not to anger the soldiers and shake the morale of the army." ”

Li Hong looked at Xian Yufu puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Haven't you been rewarded by any of the soldiers?" ”

Tian Zhong finally couldn't help it, and scolded angrily: "****, except for changing your line Captain Li Feng to Captain Li Feng, there is nothing else." What kind of world is this ******? We have destroyed 180,000 enemies, 180,000. ”

Fu Qiang said very angrily: "The brothers are bleeding and sweating, and they don't even have any rewards. If it weren't for the captain's salary, I'm afraid everyone would have to drink the northwest wind. Fu Qiang had followed Li Hong to participate in the battle of the night attack on Bailing Ranch, and last time he participated in the blocking battle of Jiuli Pavilion.

"Forget it, compared to some people, we're pretty good. The year before last, Zhonglang defeated Lord Lu Zhi in a row of the Yellow Turban Army, and because he did not bribe the eunuchs who came to announce the holy decree, he was framed and directly arrested and directly returned to the capital to squat in prison. General Huangfu made outstanding achievements, and last year he was dismissed from his post and left at home because he offended the eunuch Zhao Zhong. Although we didn't get any reward this time, we finally followed the captain and got a little benefit, and the right should be the emperor's reward. Xian Yufu sighed and comforted.

Tian Zhong wanted to scold again, but when he saw Xian Yufu's stern eyes, he had to swallow the words back from his mouth.

Xian Yufu is the Gong Cao of the Assassin Mansion, although the official is not as Li Hongda, but he represents the Youzhou Mansion, and Xian Yufu is rigorous and calm, honest and faithful, and is respected by his colleagues, Tian Zhong is in front of him, so he naturally does not dare to be too presumptuous.

Li Hong didn't care about this, he said indifferently: "Brother Yu Xing is right, the court doesn't reward me." Immediately promoted from the righteous brother to the military Sima, what do you think? ”

Tian Zhong immediately turned his anger into joy, gave Li Hong a thumbs up, and praised loudly: "Okay." I told them on the way that if you are promoted to lieutenant, the first person to be rewarded must be Lord Jade. ”

Li Hong immediately said: "Everyone is promoted to one level." ”

Tian Zhong immediately shouted: "You are crazy, where are we going to get money to pay the military salary?" ”

"yes, do you have a way?" Xian Yufu asked.

"There is no army in Jizhou anymore, and the battle in Jizhou is now up to us." Li Hong said strangely, "Who doesn't Jizhou Mansion's military salary give us?" ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and one by one they were overjoyed.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Feng Yi received the news sent by Li Hong, and immediately abandoned Gaoyi, the seat of the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion, and led the army to retreat to Julu County to govern the gall Taocheng.

The entire army of Jizhou Mu Guodian was annihilated, causing huge losses to the soldiers of Jizhou. Now he only has 5,000 people, and it is impossible to hold the small city of Gaoyi, so it is better to retreat eighty miles and defend the city of Gaotao. The city is tall and sturdy, and the population in the city is large, so it is natural to take advantage of it when it is guarded.

Feng Yi rode to the court with a speed of 800 miles and asked for reinforcements.

At this time, only Li Hong's Youzhou Iron Cavalry in Jizhou was still ready to fight, and the rest of the states and counties had no troops. The situation was the same as when the Yellow Turban Army first broke out the year before, and the states and counties did not have any extra troops except for a small number of troops defending the city. This is all because the Great Han Kingdom has not experienced wars for a long time, and the court has abandoned the military affairs. Originally, there were still a certain number of county soldiers in various prefectures and counties, but because bureaucrats at all levels were corrupt and took bribes, they took military salaries, resulting in a serious shortage of actual soldiers.

The Yellow Turban Army annihilated the officers and troops in Guhongling, and their morale was greatly boosted. Immediately, under the planning of Zhang Niujiao, they prepared to seize the city of Gall in one go.

After receiving Zhang Niujiao's order, Yang Feng, who was stationed in Zhao State, immediately led 100,000 horses to leave Handan and quickly headed north.

The Yellow Turban Army lost about 70,000 people in the first battle of Guhongling, and the troops of the three marshals of Bai Huan, Wulu, and Chu Feiyan all suffered losses, but they still quickly gathered 100,000 people at the request of Zhang Niujiao and quickly moved south.

On the tenth day after the Battle of Guhongling, the Yellow Turban Army gathered at the foot of Gaoyi City. 200,000 people, under the command of Zhang Niujiao, took Gaoyi City in one day. Immediately, the troops began to attack the city of Gauntow.

Feng Yi's appearance seems to be a loyal elder, he never gets angry, he does not scold his subordinates, and treats people kindly. Although Feng Yi is not a big official, he is good at financial management and likes to deal with businessmen. Just when he was about to return to his hometown and enjoy a good old age, the Yellow Turban Ant Thief suddenly rebelled and shattered his sweet dream. The wife and children who stayed at home were killed by the ant thieves, hundreds of mansions were burned by the ant thieves, the good land was occupied by the ant thieves, the property was robbed by the ant thieves, and in the end he was only left with hatred.

In Guangzong, in Xiaquyang, he led the soldiers to slaughter countless rebels, but he did not relieve his hatred, he still hated the ant thief, extremely hateful.

Du Wei Pan Feng was always by his side. Pan Feng is a general, although he is a little keen on fame, he is enthusiastic, easy to make friends, and has a deep scheming. He is in his thirties, tall and strong, with thick bones, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beautiful black beard.

"This Jizhou ......," Feng Yi said with a heavy heart, "the situation in Jizhou is precarious." ”

"Your Excellency is too worried. Although Lord Guo accidentally fell for the treacherous tricks of the ant thieves and martyred himself, there are still the iron horses of Lord Li of Youzhou in the north, and the reinforcements of Lord Liu, the prime minister of Ganling, in the south. Pan Feng was not afraid and said loudly.

Feng Yi glanced at Pan Feng and ignored him.

Although Lord Li gave full support and marched 500 miles in two days, he still didn't have time to rescue Lord Guo. We were all wiped out in Guhongling, and Master Li only rescued seventeen people. Zhang Niujiao is powerful, just like the first thief Zhang Jiao brother back then, not only has prestige among ant thieves, but also can use soldiers. You don't look down on this kind of person, if you don't pay attention, you will be killed by him. Now we don't have many soldiers on our hands, and the main force is buried in Guhongling with Lord Guo. Without soldiers, what kind of war can we fight? Feng Yi smiled bitterly.

Pan Feng snorted unconvinced, and did not refute it.

"Do you think we can hold the gall?" Feng Yi asked.

"We only have 6,000 men, which is a little too small compared to the 200,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army. But Master Li in Xiaquyang is only 400 miles away from us, and it is coming in an instant, under the internal and external attacks, how long can Zhang Niujiao resist? ”

"Do you mean that Lord Li's 10,000 cavalry can defeat the 200,000 ant thieves in this city?" Feng Yi laughed.

Pan Feng knew that it was absolutely impossible, so he didn't speak.

"The sooner the Youzhou Iron Cavalry comes, the faster it will take for us to be breached." Feng Yi pointed to the Yellow Turban Army camp with flags fluttering under the city, and said slowly, "Zhang Niujiao is now using us as bait to catch the big fish of Lord Li." ”

Pan Feng's face changed greatly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Feng Yi's words.

Feng Yi turned his face to look at Pan Feng, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Niujiao invested 180,000 troops in Zhuo County, and finally escaped alone, do you know how he was defeated?" ”

"It was eaten by Lord Li's iron rider one bite at a time." Pan Feng replied.

Feng Yi nodded and continued: "Master Li's nickname is Leopard, and this leopard circled around the horns of the cow, one in the east and one in the west, and it just bit the cow to death. How can you kill this leopard? Dig a pit, lure the leopard into the pit, and the stick can kill you. ”

Feng Yi stood on the city tower, his hands behind his back, and let the cold wind blow his cheeks.

Pan Feng felt that the biting cold wind was drilling straight into his bones, and he couldn't help but shiver twice.

Gao Ran was held by Wen Chou and Zhang He on the left and on the right, and walked into the Chinese army's tent.

In the two large braziers in the middle of the tent, the fire was raging. Zhao Yun was squatting on the side to add firewood. Li Hong leaned over and looked at the map.

Gao Ran finally saw the world-famous leopard. Sure enough, as the rumors said, he was tall and fierce, but he couldn't see the appearance of an idiot, nor could he see blood, but felt that he was more like a bold and fierce soldier.

When Li Hong saw them coming, he hurriedly stood up, greeted him while helping to support Gao Ran's waist, and worked hard with Wen Chou and Zhang He, preparing to put him on the cowhide on the ground. Gao Ran was shocked and resigned again and again. Isn't it rude for him to be a junior officer lying in the big tent of the Chinese army and talking to a captain.

"I injured my ribs and needed to lie down and recuperate. Don't feel rude, they are all people who lick blood with knives, be refreshed. Li Hong saw Gao Ran struggling endlessly, and said a little unhappily.

Gao Ran's heart warmed, he didn't speak, and lay down quietly.

"I heard Zijun say, you were kicked by Zhang Niujiao?" Li Hong asked with a smile.

Gao Ran's face flushed, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

"The year before last in Luronse, I was the last officer left after the Great War, when I was the commander of the canton. This year in Guhongling, you are also the last officer left after the war, but you are a military candidate. In this respect, our experiences are very similar, and we can be good brothers. Li Hong stretched out his big hand to him and laughed loudly: "Come, let's shake hands, we will be brothers in the future." ”

Gao Ran was infected by Li Hong's arrogance, and hurriedly reached out to hold him together.

Wen Chou said with a smile on the side: "Brother Zhengqing, don't be embarrassed, you were kicked by Zhang Niujiao, that's a good thing, and it will be the capital to brag in the future." I've been kicked and flown over, but that's not bragging. ”

Zhao Yun and Zhang He burst out laughing. Gao Ran looked at him puzzled.

"I was kicked out of the big tent by an adult, that's a shame." Wen Chou shouted.

Li Hong shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't mention it again, next time I have a chance to kick you and give you a long face, how about it?" ”

Wen Chou shook his hand again and again, his eyes looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhang He said loudly: "Then I won't be beaten to death." That tiger head Yan Zishan here is simply a thug of these people, too powerful. ”

"Brother Zijun, what are you, we, do you want to get out of here?" Zhao Yun asked.

Wen Chou's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Gaffe, gaffe." ”

Li Hong said on the side: "Lord Guo has been killed, and your troops have finished fighting, and now there are only a few of you left." I think you will stay with me for the time being, and when the Yellow Turban Army is eliminated, you will return to the Jizhou army. ”

Gao Ran and Wen Chou agreed in unison.

"When is Lord Juan leaving?" Wen Chou asked.

"Tomorrow. His injuries have not improved, and the conditions of the camp are too poor, so he can only be sent to Xindu City for treatment. Li Hong said, "I invited you here today to ask about the terrain near the city. ”

"The Yellow Turban Army has attacked the gall?" Gao Ran asked in surprise.

"Yes. We must rush to the rescue immediately. ”
