On 15 February, on the south bank of the Juma River, the Longxiang Army of the First Army of the newly formed infantry army received a military order, pulled out the camp and set off, following the action behind the Jinjia Shengjie army. Hearing the order to set off, the soldiers of the fifth capital of the left chamber were all elated. They had been here for several days, camping in the wilderness in the cold of February, and sleeping in armor and with their blades in their arms every night, which was a very unpleasant feeling.

Rather than staying here, they are looking forward to going to the battlefield, fighting vigorously, but in exchange for military merit.

Guo Xiong led his horse and began to tie the tent and other blankets and other equipment to the horse.

He was originally a united soldier of the Dengzhou Unity Battalion, but he participated in the battle of Liaoning two years ago and performed outstandingly, and later participated in the battle of western Liao, and the subsequent battle of destroying Goguryeo. In the autumn of last year, his eldest brother Guo Wei was awarded the Order of Flying Cavalry for his military exploits, and he was awarded the Medal of Honor and Sword, becoming a nobleman.

Because Guo Wei applied to Lu Shang's boss on behalf of Lu Shang, he won a place for Guo Xiong to study. After the autumn, he entered the Liaoning South Non-commissioned Officer School for half a year. Years later, after returning to the camp early from the military academy, he was immediately promoted and became a third-class sergeant major, and was appointed as the commander of the second group of the left wing of the Longxiang Army of the First Army of the Xinjian Infantry Army, and received the official rank of lieutenant from the nine pins, and became a military attache in the nine pins.

This was the most important transition from soldier to officer.

Since he was promoted, Daddy Guo has been so excited that he has to brag about it when he meets someone. Who would have thought that Guo Dayan, who had been farming for generations, would still be able to enjoy such blessings when he was old. The eldest son became the captain of the imperial martial arts from the eighth rank in one fell swoop. It made his face shine even more. It was the eldest son who felt that the ancestral tomb was smoking, and not only became a military attache from the eighth grade. And in one fell swoop, he became a decorated nobleman.

O nobles!

The eldest and second both became officers, the eldest also became a nobleman, and the identity of the old Guo family immediately changed. Now the eldest daughter-in-law has just given birth to an eldest grandson to the old Guo family, and she is overjoyed. Immediately afterwards, now countless matchmakers are about to break the threshold of the old Guo family. Countless families are vying to give their daughters to the second child as daughters-in-law, including not only former neighbors, but also a few small officials and a few business house managers on the dock where Guo Dayan works, and even many people in the wife's workshop want to marry their daughters to the Guo family. By the way. Guo Dayan's two unmarried daughters have also become fragrant and sweet, countless people want to marry the Guo family, and the one who comes to propose marriage has a higher status than the other, from ordinary workers to businessmen to scholars to the family of eunuchs, and even these people claim that they don't need the Guo family to marry at all.

You must know that the people of Dengzhou are now living a relatively wealthy life, and as a result, a custom of heavy marriage has also emerged. Marrying a daughter, the more gifts you give, the more you marry. If you have a lot of daughters, you are already starting to feel that it is a burden.

"Guy!"

A report interrupted Guo Xiong's thoughts. His deputy leader, Chen Lin, handed over a piece of beef jerky. Guo Xiong took a look, this kind of beef jerky is five-spiced, easy to carry, but extremely hungry, marching and fighting, eating a piece can make you hungry for half a day.

In the army, Guo Xiong, an officer under the age of 30 who had studied in martial arts halls and military academies, was privately called the 'Young Zhuang faction' and 'elite faction' by the soldiers, and all of these people could see that they had a bright future. This is especially true after the enactment of the new military service system.

And a low-level officer like Chen Lin, who is over forty years old, is still only a deputy commander and does not have much literacy, is a completely different category. More of their way out is to change jobs in local government offices, go to places like police stations, urban management bureaus, and security teams, and stay in the army, which really does not have much prospect.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Lin, the older deputy leader, does not have too many other thoughts about his boss Guo Xiong, who is only half his age. Guo Xiong is like the sunrise in the east, but he is already at sunset, why should he go out of his way to embarrass a young officer with a bright future, not to mention, although Guo Xiong is the head of the military intelligence department of the Shengjie Army, and he is also an upstart with a big dog-legged sword who has won the Flying Horse Medal and become a medalist in less than thirty, but Chen Lin has found out the situation of this new boss clearly from his fellow countrymen, let alone any other thoughts that should not be had.

"Tell the captain a lecture."

Guo Xiong nodded, chewed the spiced beef jerky, tidied up the training clothes on his body, then swallowed the beef jerky, straightened his helmet again, and then walked to the front of the gang team.

A group of soldiers of two corps, all neatly packed up under the leadership of the two sergeant commanders, stood in two straight rows.

Mutual courtesy.

"Listen, everyone, this time our target is Guiyi County, Zhuozhou, eighty miles southwest, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, Guiyi County has now gathered the main forces of Mo and Yingerzhou and Liu Yue's army of 23,000 soldiers and horses."

Although the Long Xiang army is an infantry army, it is also an elite soldier, although the number of 23,000 soldiers and horses is not small, but it does not make them half moved. In the camp here, there are 30,000 infantry, not to mention 40,000 cavalry. In the eyes of all soldiers, Guiyi City is a dish, a mouth-watering dish.

Zhang Xiong was very satisfied with the self-confidence and composure of his brothers, and the soldiers were much stronger than the united soldiers. He continued: "These two hundred and thirty-three thousand soldiers and horses are our goal this time. Of course, the cavalry brothers have already set off first, and our mission is to move with the Chinese army. When we arrived at Guiyi County, the task of attacking the city was still completed by our brothers in the infantry army. Brethren, this is an opportunity to make a difference, for we have 30,000 infantry in charge of the siege, and 40,000 cavalry on our guard! ”

Guo Xiong is just a team leader, in fact, as soon as he fights, he at least transfers as a team. All they have to do is move with their flag. So Guo Xiong didn't say much, he slammed the eight-foot flag gun in his hand, and the bright triangular red flag was displayed.

"When I was fighting, the old knife and the donkey, you two captains, looked at my spear and followed me closely. The other brothers, each following your captain's spear. I won't say more, but in short, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it. Everyone is working hard, maybe this time they can earn a flying knight and a tiger medal, become a knight and knight, and from now on wear a sword on their bodies and be a nobleman. ”

A group of soldiers were excited, today's military exploits are the most valuable, and such an opportunity is indeed rare. Even if he dies by then, he is not afraid, anyway, the pension in the army is very heavy, and his wife and children are also supported by the government.

Take a knife to get rich, and count the ball when you die!

Guiyi County, which belongs to Zhuozhou, is roughly in Xiongxian and Rongcheng in later generations.

At this time, in this small county town, there were 23,000 soldiers and horses from Liu Yue's department, Liu Rengong's department, and Li Quanzhong's department, and most of the soldiers and horses of Mo Yingzhuo's three prefectures were concentrated.

Night was about to fall, and under the gloomy sky, Guiyi City had become a large barracks.

Three families of 20,000 infantry plus 3,000 cavalry made it a place full of hustle and bustle. And in addition to these soldiers, the logistics auxiliary soldiers who came later were no less than the soldiers, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yingzhou were led by Li Quanzhong's son and the Yiwu army nicknamed King Jintou, and Li Congwei, the assassin of Yingzhou, in addition to the 10,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, the King of Jintou also brought 20,000 young and strong people to transport grain and grass equipment.

And Liu Rengong, who led 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, also brought 10,000 young and strong auxiliaries.

Liu Yue's subordinates in Guiyi County also recruited 3,000 auxiliary soldiers.

In this way, there were 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry in Guiyi County at this time. In addition, there were 33,000 auxiliaries, and the whole city was overcrowded with soldiers.

The three armies gathered, Li Congwei was based in the east of the city, Liu Rengong was in the south of the city, and Zhang Xingze, the assassin of Zhuozhou, was in the north of the city. In addition to Zhang Xingze's soldiers and horses stationed in the camp, Li Congwei and Liu Rengong's soldiers lived directly in the people's homes, and the people could not return to their homes, but had to set up a large area of temporary tents in the west of the city, making the west of the city look like a refugee camp.

The generals of the three departments met in the former county office, and in the calculation, Liu Rengong's prestige was higher among the three departments, so the most popular part of this coalition army was Liu Rengong as the main force, with Li Congwei and Zhang Xingze as the deputies.

Sitting in the county office, Liu Rengong drank hot tea and was very satisfied.

"Ahem!"

Liu Rengong coughed a few times and attracted the generals' attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received news that King Zhao has gathered an army of 60,000 in Cangzhou City, including 10,000 elite horsemen. In addition, the 20,000 soldiers and horses sent by King Zhao have been divided into two routes, and they have successfully taken the two prefectures of De and Di, and the troops have blocked the Yellow River. After speaking, Liu Rengong smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea.

According to the agreement, after taking Cangzhou, Wang Jingchong will divide Cangzhou into two, and the land and population north of Cangzhou City will be divided into Jingzhou and distributed to Liu Rengong. For the rest of the territory, Texas belonged to Han Jian, while Li Quanzhong and Liu Yue shared a part of the money and women. Of course, the most important thing is the common goal of defeating Li Jing.

"The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the King of Wei have arrived in Shenzhou and are heading north along the Hutuo River, and they will arrive soon."

"In addition, King Yan and King Yi have also gathered 50,000 elite soldiers in Youzhou. As long as Li Jing's army reached the city of Cangzhou, the king of Wei and the king of Zhao dragged Li Jing's army, and then the king of Yan and the king of Yi led the troops to attack Pingzhou, seize the Shanhaiguan, and cut off the troops outside the pass. ”

"As for us, as soon as the horn sounded, we immediately went down the Juma River, lined up along the river, surrounded Li Jing in Hebei, and completely strangled him."

This plan was very comprehensive, because Li Jing had 50,000 cavalry under his command, so in order to prevent Li Jing from escaping at that time. Therefore, Liu Yue and Li Quanzhong will directly attack Pingzhou and seize Shanhaiguan, as long as Shanhaiguan is captured. In this way, it will be difficult for the main force outside Li Jing's pass to enter the pass. As for the seizures in Ping, Ji, Tan, Shun, and Jing Zhuzhou, there were not many soldiers. When the time comes, the door will be closed and the dog will be caught.

There is no food, no supplies, and there is not even a place to stay, no matter how strong Li Jing is, this time he broke into the big net of the four towns, and he also killed himself. (To be continued......)
