Chapter 862: Sunrise in the East (87)

Tian Jingwen smelled something bad. Although the news from Prime Minister Tian was all positive, the Eastern Expedition Army in Langya County suddenly became active. He had been trapped since he left Qinglong Mountain. The Huang Zhan Division of the Eastern Expedition Army was immediately at home, but he did not seek to approach Langya County to join Zheng Xiaoyang and other troops. Instead, he attacked in the direction of Xinhui. Zheng Xiaoyang and Ding Wei, who had been trapped in Langya County City, also behaved uncharacteristically, and from time to time So he took the initiative and launched an attack on the Qi army. At this time, the Qi army in Langya County, controlled by Tian Fucheng, had to maintain grain roads and collect grain and grass, while also dealing with the waves of opposition in Langya County. Feel

These actions of the Eastern Conquest Army seemed inconspicuous and seemed to be some normal military operations, but they were concentrated at this point in time, which had to make Tian Jingwen suspicious, as if they suddenly had something. seems to be starting to get angry

Tian Jingwen felt that there should be an invisible thread connecting these things. There must be some secret hidden inside. He thought about it again and again, but reported his suspicions to Tian Fucheng. Tian Jingwen, the Eastern Expedition Army was there. What kind of conspiracy is brewing? There is no doubt that this conspiracy must be against the Qi army and the main force of Qi State.

Tian Fucheng didn't want to see Tian Jingwen, because Tian Jingwen was his elder brother Tian Yuanyuan's son. Tian Dan ruled the country of Qi with one hand and was not the king of kings. In the eyes of some people, if Tian Dan wanted to sit on that chair, it was just a matter of thought. As his son, Tian Fucheng will naturally be jealous of the matter. His father's authority cannot be shaken, but his father is already over sixty years old. Tian Fucheng believes that before his father returns to the west, he will definitely sit on that chair, then. Who will hold this chair after him?

Why not yourself?

Although Tian Yuanyuan is the elder brother, he has his own wisdom and martial arts. Over the years, he has been hanging around in the court, while he has stayed in the army. The Qi army is so powerful today, how much blood and sweat have he shed here? Could it be that when that day comes, I will make wedding clothes for others and watch my brother ascend to that seat while I kowtow to him below?

Tian Fucheng was naturally unwilling

In the past two years, Tian Fucheng has been cutting off his brother's confidants in the military. At the same time, he vigorously bribed ministers in the court, which can be said to be a remarkable achievement. There were not many people in the army for his brother. After several years of hard work, except for Tian Jingwen, almost no one from his brother has real power.

His dislike for Tian Jingwen made him sneer at Tian Jingwen's judgment, and he threw the military report that Tian Dan had just sent back in front of Tian Jingwen.

"Tian Jingwen, why are you so suspicious? My father has defeated the defenders at Xiaoshan Pass. The army has entered western Liaoning and will soon join Wei He's brigade. Do you think Zhengdong Mansion can still withstand the attack? "

Picking up the military newspaper thrown by Tian Fucheng on the ground,

Tian Jingwen gave him a rough look. I also felt relieved. Maybe I was paranoid. After I entered Langya, I had many battles with the Zhengdong Army. Although Xinhui won, in fact, they lost that battle at Qinglong River. Although he only spent one day with the Zhengdong Army, he still remembered it deeply. The enemy was huddled on Qinglong Mountain. He looked at the mountain and sighed, saying, "What can I do?" The successive misfortunes made him wary of the Zhengdong Army to a new level. He always felt that Tian Xiang was too smooth now, and that he was not as smooth as the Zhengdong Army he met.

Or, as Prime Minister Tian had guessed, these troops in Langya County are the last regular troops left in the mainland by the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the ones at Xiaoshan Pass are just some young men who were temporarily recruited. We can't underestimate the fact that Xiang Tian has been blocked by Weishan Pass for so long.

I hope everything goes well for Prime Minister Tian, ​​and he can capture key areas such as Liaoxi and Jishi when most of the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns. In this way, even if most of the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns, the Qi army will not be afraid.

With a silent salute, Tian Jingwen prepared to exit Tian Fucheng's tent.

"Tian Jingwen, I think you are just thinking about this thing because you have nothing to do. A batch of food and grass will be sent to my father's army soon, so you can escort it!" Tian Fucheng's sneer came from behind: "Bring your troops and horses, and help me wipe out all the bandits along the way."

"I obey!" Tian Jingwen turned around and handed over to Tian Fucheng to accept the order. It would be good for him to stay away from the second young master who disliked him.

Qingshan Dragon, Huang Zhan finally passed the most difficult days. Tian Jingwen's initial fierce attack did make it difficult for him, and he almost couldn't hold on, but fortunately, the opponent was also unable to follow up, and now he not only held on steadily After arriving at Qinglong Mountain, the enemy-defending Qi troops who still had the strength to reach Xinhui were violently conquering Langya, killing, wounding, and looting, causing resistance armies to emerge one after another from all over the country. Huang Zhan also took the opportunity to gather several groups of such resistance armies here, and at the same time sent people to pick up those who had been captured. After a period of time, Huang Zhan's rebels were more swollen than when he first arrived at Qinglong Mountain. Of course, their combat effectiveness did not increase because of this. Fundamentally speaking, these rebels were still a handful. A brave farmer with nothing to lose

While training these passionate young people on Qinglong Mountain, they also harassed the new club from time to time to lead the old and new, and constantly improved the combat capabilities of these people.

"kill!"

"kill!"

On Qinglong Mountain, deafening shouts of killing came from time to time. Huang Zhan walked on the position with his hands behind his back with satisfaction. There were veterans and new soldiers everywhere practicing the Gedang technique. The Eastern Expeditionary Army could not help but How high the martial arts skills of the soldiers are required. They have to learn only the simplest assassination and blocking techniques and some team combat skills. What is more, they need to constantly exert their strength to conquer hundreds of societies with one force, in the midst of large-scale chaos. , strength is the foundation. Although these recruits have not been on the mountain for a long time, under the leadership of veterans who have experienced battles, their combat effectiveness has improved rapidly. What worries Huang Zhan even more is their discipline. These volunteers, who are used to being lax, want to It is obviously difficult to turn them into an army with strict military discipline in a short period of time. However, if you disperse them into the original army, those who are close to ink will be black, and those who are close to vermillion will be red. Teaching them by words and deeds will certainly be better than letting them simply violate military discipline. much better

Loud military songs came from the bottom of the mountain. Standing at the height of Qinglong Mountain, Huang Zhan could clearly see the troops walking up the winding path. The man leading the way was Pang Li. It was his turn yesterday. He led his troops out to harass and rob. Looking at their cheerful appearance, it seemed that they had a good army. Half of the troops led by Pang Li were newly joined rebels.

Soon, Pang Li climbed to the top of the mountain, looked at Huang Zhan, and said happily: "Commander, the harvest was good this time down the mountain. I ran to Yanglindu and attacked the Qi army stationed there, and made some small gains."

Huang Zhan smiled and said: "What's more important is that we new recruits have made great progress."

"The division commander is right. From the beginning, they only knew how to fight bravely and fiercely. They finally learned to advance and retreat upon orders in the war, and mastered the small team cooperation skills of our Eastern Expeditionary Army. You see, this time I led All the people who went out were brought back intact. A few of them were slightly injured, but they were not serious. After two days of rest, they were able to wield knives and sticks again." Pang Li's eyebrows were beaming.

Huang Zhan looked behind him at this time. Behind Pang Li, stood a stranger. The man was standing there with a smile. Although he was silent, his demeanor was obviously not that of an ordinary person. Moreover, He shouldn't be a soldier under his command.

"Who is this?" Huang Zhan looked at Pang Li

Pang Li slapped his head, "Look at me, a bastard. I only focus on reporting the good news to you, but I forgot about this!" He pointed at the man next to him, "We met this guy on the way back from the attack on Yang Lindu. He He said that his name is Cui Chengxiu, he is also from the Eastern Conquest Army, and he was ordered to come to find us. Although this guy has the badge of our Eastern Conquest Army, you also know that nothing will happen with this army in panic, so I will first He brought it back."

Cui Chengxiu took a step forward and gave a military salute to Huang Zhan: "General Cui Chengxiu, the first battalion of the second division of the newly reorganized First Army, came to see Commander Huang on the order of Commander Chen Haoran."

"New First Army!" Huang Zhan looked at him: "Cui Chengxiu? Have you heard of this name? You should be a graduate of Jishi City Military University, right?"

Cui Chengxiu did not expect that a small battalion officer like himself would be remembered by Huang Zhan. Although Huang Zhan was only a division commander, he was very senior in the Eastern Expedition Army. When Gao Yuan was just a small soldier, he had Together with Gao Yuan, Qianqi attacked Yulin City, and Huang Zhan's father, Huang Desheng, had a very good relationship with Gao Yuan.

"I didn't expect Master Huang to actually know the villain's name!" Cui Chengxiu reached out and took out a dagger from his boot and presented it to Huang Zhan with both hands.

Taking the dagger, Huang Zhan burst into laughter, "When the Governor inspected Jishicheng Military University, you became famous for this. You were named by the Governor to focus on training. Didn't everyone know about it?" Throw it away? Throwing the dagger in his hand, he said: "There aren't many short daggers like this in the entire army, so take it! Aren't you at Xiaoshan Pass? Why did you suddenly come to me?"

Cui Chengxiu smiled and said nothing, Huang Zhan nodded, "Come on, come into the house with me. Pang Li, your people are going to eat and rest. Then call Xie Zongjie and come to my place."

"Yes!" Pang Li responded loudly.

The so-called house is just a cave dug out of the mountain wall, supported by a wooden frame, and a straw curtain hung at the entrance. That's it. Four sticks are nailed to the bottom of several wooden boards, crookedly. Even if it is a table, the ground is covered with thick grass, and even the stools are omitted.

"Mountain residence is simple, careless, careless!" Huang Zhan laughed and threw a water bag, "But the spring on Qinglong Mountain is extremely sweet, give it a try!"

"Thank you, Mr. Huang!" Cui Chengxiu took the water bag and thanked him. (To be continued...)
