The third volume of the dragon gate is a thousand feet high, and the second hundred and second chapter enters the 3093957).

In May, the weather turns from warm to hot again, and it is another year of spring and summer.

For several days in a row, the weather is clear, whether Jingzhou or Shuzhong, are bathed in bright sunshine, the sky is blue, the sun is dazzling, the roadside wildflowers are dotted, and the tender green wild grass is contrasting.

At the junction of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, in a city with a closed sun, many soldiers are patrolling the streets.

Pedestrians who pass by will be inspected by soldiers when they enter and exit the city gates, and although the atmosphere here is not tense, it is also affected by the upcoming new round of fighting.

Ding Huchen's department, which had been recuperating for a period of time, was stationed here at this time.

Ding Huchen was originally not famous, he could only be regarded as a general, he had been fighting against the mountain tribe in Shu, and as the commander-in-chief of the mountain tribe's banner soldiers, he was awarded the title of Pingban General by Wang Hongyi.

However, after entering Jiaozhou by small road, attacking the second county of Jingnan, and besieging Zheng Pingyuan, Ding Huchen's reputation gradually spread.

Many princes know that under Wang Hongyi's account, there is this person!

Although most of the soldiers under his account were banner soldiers in the mountains and had a rough temperament, Wang Hongyi had always been strict in military discipline, and although Ding Huchen was not informal, he still acted in strict accordance with military discipline.

Fengyang City is next to Jiaozhou County is Wuming County, Guangxin County, Xie Mu, Gaoyao, Fengyang, Linhe, Duanxi, Fengcheng, Fuchuan, Lipu, Mengling, these counties all belong to Wuming County.

In Jiaozhou, Wuming County is considered a large county.

Ding Huchen marched from Jingzhou, if Jiaozhou was defeated, this Wuming County would definitely be taken first. However, the defense of Wuming County has never been weak, and it is not easy to attack this county.

The two places that leaned most on Linhe and Fengyang were all beaten down by Ding Huchen.

When to continue the march next, it will have to wait for Ding Huchen to finish his rest.

The army was stationed in Fengyang, ready to find an opportunity to rush into the depths of Jiaozhou.

The actual principals of the counties of Jiaozhou were either ready to defend against this attack of the Chu army, or they were hesitant and ready to surrender at any time.

Although the general trend has been achieved, it is not an easy battle to fight if it is really fought with 10,000 troops.

In terms of territory, Jiaozhou is greater than Jingzhou, in terms of strength, Jingzhou is not rich and stable, relatively barren, but this matter is difficult here, there are a lot of toasts in it, if it is not for the development has been a long time, the tribes can not talk about the nation, maybe the Eight Banners system will be sacrificed again.

In such a place, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, and it takes a lot of effort to gnaw it down one bite at a time.

Ding Huchen has a heavy task, and it is obvious that only when there is war can there be war achievements.

With military exploits, soldiers and generals can be promoted to become wealthy, and they can return to their hometowns in brocade clothes.

During this time, although the army was resting in the same place in Fengyang, Ding Huchen was not idle, he continued to send his own meticulous work, infiltrated all parts of Jiaozhou, and constantly delivered the information he had found to him to analyze the situation and prepare for the attack.

At the same time, Ding Huchen did not forget to spread some false information in Fengyang and create fog bombs to mislead the generals of various counties in Jiaozhou.

On May 5, the weather was sunny and cloudless.

In the afternoon of that day, in a mansion in Fengyang City, as the place of the Provisional General's Mansion, Ding Huchen gathered the generals again to discuss various matters related to the attack on Jiaozhou.

Listen to the order under his account, are the old soldiers and old generals left in the feudal town, these people are good at fighting, originally thought that they would live in obscurity for a lifetime, do not want the young master to have a great future, swept Shu not to say, and now swept Jingzhou, and suddenly the future is very bright, these old handsome old soldiers will suddenly stimulate the blood, as soon as they hear that there is a battle to fight, they are eager to attack the past immediately, make more contributions, and fight for a wife.

And the Three Banners in the mountains have also recovered after a few months of cultivation.

"Everyone, everyone, Shao'an don't be impatient!Shao'an is not impatient!" Ding Huchen first watched his subordinates' enthusiastic discussions continue, until the discussion was almost over, and then he stopped talking.

At the same time, his hand was raised slightly, and suddenly with his voice and movements, the chamber gradually quieted down.

Ding Huchen, the general of the barbarian who sat at the top, was dressed in a handsome robe and covered with fine armor, looking majestic.

His piercing eyes, half-squinted at this time, really looked like a tiger.

Ding Huchen, who was with the mountain banner soldiers and commanded them to fight constantly, was not a harsh and accommodating general.

The reason why he sent Ding Huchen to the land of the mountain tribe to be a general, instead of sending other people over, was that Wang Hongyi took a fancy to Ding Huchen not only had the character of an orthodox soldier, but also had a natural majesty, grace and authority, and could subdue the mountain tribesmen who were rude and disobedient.

It turns out that Wang Hongyi's vision is good.

Although the mountain banner soldiers were rude, they were quite obedient under Ding Huchen's account.

As soon as Ding Huchen opened his mouth, the generals who were still shouting just now to attack and make meritorious contributions naturally closed their mouths and looked at Ding Huchen in the top position.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen the situation in Jiaozhou, there is no general trend, but because of the vast area and many tribes, it is a trivial job. ”

"Raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the king wants to unify Jiaozhou, this is our mission. ”

"There are almost the same old places here, you conquer the counties one by one, there are scattered cottages, and the toasts who dare to resist are all dealt with according to the old rules, you take half of the goods, and you choose one-tenth of the people. ”

"The king has already said that after this fight, you can go back to earn merit and receive knighthoods. ”

"And a few of you, you were the loudest just now, didn't you? When you attack, if you have a lot of thunder and a little rain, you will become a bad seed when the time comes, and this general will not spare you - don't lose the face of the old handsome. ”

"You are all old and handsome people, and you are old, after this battle, this general will ask the king for merit for you, the title of the big meritorious, the title of the small meritorious, go to fight for a family business for your mother-in-law and son, and you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future!"

As soon as Ding Huchen's words came out, the people present immediately burst into laughter.

The faces of the few people who were named by Ding Huchen were slightly red, and under the gaze of their colleagues, they said loudly: "General, don't worry! When the time comes, a certain family will definitely not be a bad breed and fight for a title to go back!"

"Please rest assured, the general will do his best to kill the enemy!"

"Under the general's account, there is no misseed!"

"Haha! Okay! Ambition! Ambition! Worthy of being my son! Very good!" Ding Huchen listened to their words and nodded with satisfaction.

A pair of big eyes looked at others and asked loudly: "What about you? Do you have the confidence to capture Jiaozhou and make meritorious contributions to the king?!"

"Please give the general an order! A certain family is willing to be a pioneer!" Hearing Ding Huchen's question, all the generals and colonels knelt on the ground to ask for battle, and the atmosphere reached ** for a while!

Seeing this, Ding Huchen got up from his seat, waved his hand quite vigorously, and said loudly.

Then he motioned for the people on the side to step forward.

This person immediately stepped forward and pulled open the red cloth that had been covering the wall on the side, and suddenly revealed the map of Jiaozhou drawn inside--the division of troops began.

At the same time, Xiangyang City in May has a suitable climate, prosperous and beautiful.

Because the temporary seat of the King of Chu is set here, Xiangyang City at this time is more dazzling than in the past.

The inner city has been renovated and looks quite large.

In the area where the people live in the outer city, the streets have been repaired and widened, and the shops on both sides of the street have been standardized, although the requirements are not high, but the cleanliness around the shops is required.

Every day, the city defense army will ride through the streets, but unlike the previous soldiers, the generals and soldiers of the king of Chu, although they are not guilty of any crimes, at least they will not disturb the order and plunder at will.

In this way, the people of Xiangyang have already felt very satisfied.

Because Jingzhou was unified, the commercial and trade exchanges between the south and north of Jingzhou were smooth again.

Not only that, the trade between Jingzhou and Shuzhong is more frequent.

It was only natural that the trade routes would prosper when Jingshu was peaceful, and the government would be able to obtain a large amount of tax revenue to fill the treasury in the increasingly frequent trade exchanges.

It's a win-win, and it's something that both sides would like to see.

Groups of caravans traveled back and forth between Jingnan, Jingbei and Shuzhong, making the lives of the people in the three places better.

Many poor people, due to the prosperity of the trade routes, have more options for work, and they can help the caravans in the past and get paid.

Relying on government relief alone, the number of poor people will not decrease, and the development of commerce will promote the people's lives to be better and better.

Wang Hongyi was happy to see this situation, and also gave the same treatment to the merchants of Jingzhou and Shuzhong.

Born in Shuzhong, Wang Hongyi did not give much preferential treatment to Shuzhong, and in the commercial competition, too much intervention by the government will only make the domestic trade trend tend to be pathological.

A solo show is by no means conducive to domestic development, nor is it what Wang Hongyi wants.

On this day, there were businesses opening early, and the whole street was continuous, and the people on the street were like ants, and there was a shout.

At this time, a Taoist priest paced slowly, followed by several young Taoist priests, who followed the bustling flow of people onto the street.

On the bridge, I stopped and looked back, this Taoist priest is Depu Taoist.

Depu Daoren looked at it, with a smile on his face, and muttered to his disciple: "Xiangyang last time I brought you here, it's been seven years in a blink of an eye, and the situation is very different. ”

Behind is a young Taoist, a neat and clean uniform, hearing this, he smiled slightly, he had a calm and dusty temperament, and said calmly: "Master, this is a good thing, the real king is out, Wanye is prosperous, master, I am not a false encounter to welcome you, what I have seen and heard, this King of Chu is really worthy of the appearance of the real king." ”

"Yes, but the grassland is the heavenly opportunity of the ancestor, we came here, and your master and uncle went to the grassland, don't you think you have lost the opportunity?"

The young man smiled faintly and said, "The disciple believes in the master and believes in his own vision...... There's a wine shop ahead, master, it's not early, let's go up?"

Depu Daoist looked up and saw a wine shop in front of him, with three floors, and couldn't help but smile.

After entering, the downstairs was noisy, and the two went upstairs, and saw that the screens were separated by each other, and the seats were still empty.

When I ordered food, the Taoist priests of this world are different from the earth, and they are not afraid of meat, and when they saw that the order was over, they withdrew, and Depu Taoist said to his disciples: "Jinqing, this time I found a way to enter the Curse and Forbidden Division, it is our opportunity, you have to behave well." ”

It is impossible for Depu Daoist to personally take up an official position, which of course must be completed by this disciple.

Jin Qing smiled slightly: "Master, don't worry!".
