"The main force of the Lu army is in Chang'an, and for a while, I can't pull my feet. The plague there www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is enough for them. As long as we get stuck in Tongguan's throat, we are not afraid that he will not bow his head. Guo Jian pointed to the sketch in front of him, and the financial and intelligence support from Tiele was suddenly interrupted, which made them a little uncomfortable. Even the map, the current one, is far less refined and accurate than the map provided by Tieler.

Bai Lang said: "We can't take it lightly, if Lu Jun really comes......"

"I'm not afraid to come. We replenished a large number of ordnance in Chang'an, unlike in the past, we could only use big swords and shuttle darts to his foreign guns and cannons. He has a gun, I have a gun, and everyone can divide them. The first army of the Jingxia Demon is in Huaxian, and we are in the shape of horns to each other and help each other. The batch of arms I sent him this time is to consolidate the cooperative relationship between the two countries. The First Army plus my Fourth Army, plus the Second Brother's Fuhan Army, how can I fight with him. His Lu army is very powerful, but we also have a strong city to rely on, and we will not be defeated quickly. It will not be a problem for several other groups of men to come to meet us, defeat Zhao Guanhou, and avenge the brothers. ”

Bai Lang frowned, "I always feel that Zhao Guanhou is not simply handling the aftermath of Chang'an. The aftermath there, he can entrust others, I think he has a conspiracy. ”

"What do you mean?"

"He is engaged in a propaganda and public opinion offensive, and in the past few days, I have been down there and heard that there are also some people in the army who are talking about Chang'an and Qiangbai."

The Qiangbai fire was a tragedy caused by Hu Yunyi's arson. If Bai Lang attacked too much, he would have a personal enmity with Hu Yunyi, so he had to stop there.

"The government is very cunning, they are deliberately creating antagonism between our army and the people, if Zhao Guanhou takes the opportunity to fan the flames again, our military and people's hearts will become unstable."

"Then pass on my words, whoever dares to talk about this again in the city will immediately correct the Fa! The article in the teahouse that doesn't talk about state affairs, post it back to me, and add another article, it is forbidden to talk about Chang'an and Qiangbai, and the violator will be killed! ”

"Slow! Third brother, this can't be done like this. You forgot what the third lady said to you......"

"Don't mention him!" Guo Jian's face sank suddenly, and the cold light in the tiger's eyes was shining, and he turned his face directly with Bai Lang. This is the first time for Guo Jian, who has always valued righteousness.

Yang Yuzhu has become a forbidden place in Guo Jian's heart, and no one can mention this woman in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said coldly:

"I govern the place, and I have my way. In troubled times, you don't need to be ruthless, and you can't control people's hearts. Passing on my orders, the court-martials went out into the streets, and when they found anyone talking nonsense, they cut him down for me. I don't believe it, and I cut off people's heads, and I can't control their mouths. Besides, send people out to recruit troops, and if they can't recruit them, they will be arrested. No matter what, the team has to be set up first, and there is going to be a big battle, and no one can't do it. ”

Inside Chang'an City.

The original Overseer's Office was burned to the ground, and Zhao Guanhou had to find a relatively intact mansion as a temporary office. There have been more and more officials who have come to Baishanmen, and in addition to bringing some money, food and materials, more or less, they all have troops.

These people are basically new recruits, and it is not difficult for Shaanxi to recruit soldiers from the people, there are many people here and few places, and some are poor people who cannot eat and wait for death. As long as you give money to take care of food, some people can be soldiers. But these people do not look like a mixed army. Their eyes were very similar to Zhang Zhengju's, their eyes were full of hatred, and the swords and spears in their hands were shining.

"These people, to a greater or lesser extent, have something to do with the gentry who were killed in Chang'an. For example, clans, relatives and friends, and others, business partners. Guo Jian's fire scared them. I was afraid that they would hit their hometown and make their family like this, so they had to strike first and kill Guo Jian in advance. ”

The one who spoke was a commander of the local People's Army in Shaanxi, named Wang Yanggao. His talent is not very large, but he is old and has a character in the mountain hall, and Wang Wu is quite polite to him, so he can talk to Zhao Guanhou.

"The Five Route Soldiers of the Salvation King, Cao Shiying all the way, Gao Jun all the way, have promised not to intervene in this matter. The other three roads are difficult to say. After all, Guo Jian has a big face and a lot of friendships. If you move him, the other two sides will send troops, which is not to be underestimated. ”

"Thank you Old Man Wang for reminding me, Guo Jian must be beaten. Regardless of whether Cao and Gao move or not, I have to solve Guo Jian. I didn't move before, one is to deal with the aftermath of Chang'an, and the other is to wait for some baggage. Now that the baggage has arrived, my troops will leave tomorrow. As for Chang'an, please ask a few people to take more trouble to maintain law and order, and the refugees in this city will all depend on you to rescue them. ”

Led by the church, a relief center was opened in Chang'an City, so that people no longer had to eat garbage and dead rats, and the original dead bodies were cremated in a centralized manner, so the plague did not spread. In addition, some foreign rice was transported into Chang'an City, the situation was not too bad, and the task of staying behind was a credit for nothing.

But Wang Yanggao shook his head and said: "When defending the city, the marshal also asks another meritorious." When Lao Yu recruited troops in Guyuan, he was talking about attacking Guo Jian. Therefore, there are more than 600 young men who have joined the army, and if they are allowed to guard Chang'an, at least half of them will be gone. This will not only damage your prestige, but also fail to complete your official duties. ”

"That's how they want to fight? Fighting, but death. ”

"Having said that, but the team that set off, the family has already received the settling-in fee, and these gentry are out of their strength this time, and they also give death orders. won the battle, went home to have a field, died in battle, and supported his family for the rest of his life. If you don't fight, you won't get anything. For the sake of these rewards, they do not try, nor do they succeed. ”

"Then please give the order of the elder Wang to go down, the brothers are on standby, and as soon as my order arrives, we must set off immediately."

In the headquarters, Reinstein read the plan sent by Wang Bin several times and appreciated it a little. "His plan, which is basically the same as mine, is lacking in details, but it is already very good to do this. It seems that Wu Jingfu missed a promising general. I still don't understand why the nation should be used to determine his future. ”

"No way, after all, Daikin has ruled this country for hundreds of years, and its power is too strong, although it has been overthrown now, but there are many things left. Wu Ziyu believes in the Communists, so he is naturally worried that these forces will resurgence and overkill. Don't worry about him, anyway, this tiger general, we are laughing at it. Is there anything that needs to be added on specific issues? ”

"All the supplementary terms have been written on it, and after you read it, you can burn it." Ryan Stein handed over his plan to the table: "The swordsmen have a very strong ability to obtain information, and almost everyone here can be their eyeliner, so we have to be vigilant. ”

"Their good days have come to an end, and now it's not as easy to find eyeliner as it used to be. Our people, on the contrary, have gone down. Zhao Guanhou read the battle plan and already remembered it.

"In the Central Plains, now is the time to celebrate the Festival of Lights, but unfortunately here, there is no festival to celebrate. Defeat them early, so you can go home and enjoy yourself. ”

All the officers with troops were on standby, and when they gave an order, they quickly gathered at the headquarters. Zhao Guanhou looked at everyone with a serious face

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and our army has lost a lot of baggage pack horses. This information, presumably the bandit army has heard about it, and our army is fighting and is heavily supplied. According to the normal situation, it must be after replenishing the pack horses before taking action. This time, I'm going to do the opposite and catch them off guard. Today, it is the Lantern Festival, and at home, it should be a time to celebrate. But look at these Chang'an people, now every day, there are also people who die of cold and starvation, this debt, do you think it should be counted? ”

Ryanstein took over, "Besides, I'm going to be a little more emotional. According to statistics, the wealth plundered by Guo Jian from Chang'an reached hundreds of thousands of taels. I don't think he'll have time to spend that much money......"

Zhang Zongyao immediately said: "In this case, it is time to eliminate this thief and return these dirty money to the people." He is not talented and willing to take on the main task. ”

"Okay, now you listen to the order, the plan of our army's operation this time is ......"

In the sky, goose feathers and snow fell overwhelmingly, decorating the entire mountains and rivers into a piece of silver white. In such a snowstorm, after standing for a long time, his body and face were covered with a layer of silver. On the wall of Huaxian County, a row of soldiers stood straight, although the wind and snow were strong, their bodies were unyielding. From a distance, it looks like snow pressing down on green pines, standing upright.

A tall and thin middle-aged man, supported by two horses, went up to the city, looked at the sentry, and nodded with satisfaction. When the soldiers saw this man, their eyes became eager, and they shouted "Commander...... Grand Governor. If you are not in good health, it is better to go back to your room to rest in such weather. It's okay if we're used to it, but you can't. ”

The man smiled, and then there were a few coughs, "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and it is said that it is the day to celebrate and enjoy the lanterns." It's a pity that the national disaster is at hand, and everyone doesn't have this time or mood. But I promise that by this time next year, you will be at home, eating a hot meal and enjoying the lanterns. The brothers on duty today shall each be given two taels of wine, a piece of meat, and two taels of military salary, and cash payment. ”

"Long live the Grand Governor! Long live the commander! The excited sentinel shouted, and the middle-aged man waved his hand to silence them.

"The gun sent by Huaxian, do you still have your hands?"

"Report to the Governor, it's all old guns, and we haven't seen new guns. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's new or old, as long as it can sound. When you get to the battlefield, grab the good guns and cannons of the Beiyang soldiers. As long as you have the guts, you can do anything. ”

"Well said! Although our hands are empty, we have a lot of blood, we have the courage to not be afraid of death, and the weapons of the Beiyang can't scare us. I, the Jing Xia Demon, will always fight side by side with you, and I will live and die with my brothers. ”

The man's health was not good, and after saying this, he coughed non-stop, and at this time, a tall and strong man came up and pulled him down, complaining as he went, "Commander, what are you doing?" You don't know if you're in bad shape now? If you have to be frozen at this time, more than 10,000 of us, all pointing at you, if you fall ill, who will lead the team? ”

Jing Xia Mo looked at the man named Wang Zhenwu and smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about, I am also a person who has practiced martial arts with iron tiles tied to my legs, worshiped sects, and learned martial arts." One leg went down, and the stake was kicked off. I really can't imagine how I became a Lin Daiyu. ”

"It's not Guo Jiannawa, you are so angry that you vomit blood, I saw him, and I was the first to settle accounts with him. Do us really want to help him this time? ”

"Busy, naturally I want to help. No matter what, everyone is a savior. Since we are under one flag, we should watch and help each other. Otherwise, it will be broken by the Beiyang. Our weapons, salaries, and training are not as good as Beiyang. What can be relied on is courage and unity. Without these, it is impossible to succeed. ”

The two of them walked as they talked, and they had already returned to the command post, and the Jing Xia Demon coughed violently again, and drank a few sips of water before suppressing it. He called Wang Zhenwu, "My generals are slightly inferior to you, and you are better at leading troops to fight." This time, it's up to you. We will go out tonight, and we will defeat at least two brigades in Beiyang. If the attack goes well, drive back to Chang'an. ”

Wang Zhenwu nodded yes, but he was still a little worried, "Is it too dangerous for us to dispatch the whole army this time?" ”

"Zhao Guanhou concluded that we would not save each other, and our army was not well guarded, how could we let go of such an opportunity? He is strong and I am weak, and when I seize the opportunity, I must go all out. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to eliminate him again. Since ancient times, to defeat the strong with the weak, you can only use tricks, but when it comes to execution, you must have courage. This time, I personally supervised the battle, and I must destroy him for a while. ”

"No, you can't go, your body ......"

Jing Xia Mo laughed, "If this battle can be won, then the great cause of Shaanxi Geming can be accomplished, and the **** can be destroyed in the near future, what is the life and death of Jing?" If this battle cannot be won, then my life and death ...... It doesn't matter. Inform the troops, assemble immediately, and send troops at night. In addition, recruit death squads and serve as pioneers. ”

The first army's military salaries on weekdays were mostly issued with military tickets, and only when they were in battle were they found gold, and most of them were paper money. This time, Jing Xia Demon knew that he was going to fight a tough battle, and what he brought was a full ten boxes of silver dollars. The economy of the First Army is tight, and this is almost all the money.

Under the heavy reward, there were brave men of their own, and the 500-strong broadsword death squad was quickly mobilized. Each person drinks a bowl of Zhuangxing wine, carries a ghost-headed sword, and wears a sheepskin jacket as a concealment. The route they chose was the main road leading from Chang'an to Huaxian, on both sides of the avenue, five hundred soldiers were in ambush, and the command post of Jingxia Demon was set up in a small hill.

He was a literati soldier, and he was not very clever, and when he was in battle, he only commanded Wang Zhenwu. He drank and watched the battle to calm the army's heart. As long as the soldier sees that the Lord is so sure, his heart will not be afraid.

The same is true tonight, with only one guard platoon on the side of the Jing Xia Demon, and the rest of the troops are all lying in ambush in the forest and ditch, waiting to attack.

Luonan Zhang Fengwu, Huaxian Guo Jian, both armies have received the news, tonight, the three troops are dispatched at the same time, in order to complete the battle. The two armies of Baishui Gaojun and Pucheng Cao Shiying attacked Shangnan and Dali as scheduled.

Under the calm surface, there is a huge storm, and the plan of 100,000 troops to attack the Lu army was planned by Jingxia Demon after the fire in Chang'an. As for whether it will succeed, tonight, it will be time to know. (To be continued.) )
