Chapter 759: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (31)

After the First Division of the Young Guards took a short rest, the entire army immediately moved out of Shahe County, divided into four different battalions, and rushed to their predetermined targets. At the fork in the road, Mei Hua and Wu Ya stood side by side. , Wu Ya looked at Mei Hua with two panda eyes worriedly, "Are you okay? Yesterday the Governor summoned you, were you still talking about that thing in Dafang County? But you don't have to worry too much, since you still let me If you lead troops to fight, there won’t be too severe a punishment.”

Mei Hua snorted, "Don't you want me to be punished?"

"What are you talking about!" Wu Ya was furious, "If something happens to your dead plum blossom, what will happen to my sister? What will happen to my nephew in the future?"

After hearing what Wu Ya said, Mei Hua immediately turned from anger to joy and looked at Wu Ya with a smile, "You just don't want to call me brother-in-law? In the past few times we competed, you lost twice, in front of thousands of people. I’ve called you brother-in-law twice, but who in the whole army doesn’t know that you are my brother-in-law? Please call me brother-in-law.”

"Bah!" Wu Ya's mouth was full of saliva in response to Mei Hua.

Mei Hua was not angry at all, and had the courage to do it. "Actually, the governor didn't punish me much. He just asked me to write an article on the importance of soldiers obeying the law. Damn it, this is comparable to It’s much more tiring to kill people with a knife.”

"Isn't it just an article? Your kid has been reading since he was a child. Unlike me, I barely managed to read. You still learned some in the military school. You taught me some. This is nothing to you, right?" Wu Ya said Quite fond of authenticity.

"What the hell do you know?" Mei Hua sighed and said, "I am good at reading and writing, but I am not a good reader. However, I like wielding knives and guns more. Besides, the governor said it must be an article for him. Satisfactory article, this is difficult. ”

Wu Ya lowered his voice and said, "I heard that our governor doesn't study much either. He's probably about the same as you."

"Fuck you, how can we compare with the Governor? The Governor is a genius with no knowledge but skills. If the Governor is a dragon, I am just a water snake in the mud. Besides, the Governor is a dragon. Okay, who are those people around the governor? Jiang Yizheng, Yan Yizheng, all of them are everyone. The governor is with them every day, and I am used to reading their articles. If I show my shame, I will be thrown away by the governor immediately. Go to the toilet."

"Just throw it away. The title is a big article. It's normal for you, a martial artist, to not be able to write well." Wu Ya said disapprovingly: "I think the governor's intention is just to temper you. Your temper is too arrogant."

"Your brother-in-law, I am so arrogant!" Mei Hua said dissatisfiedly: "The governor said that if this article is not well written, I will not be allowed to lead the troops and will drive me to study."

"Is it true?" Wu Ya was immediately overjoyed,

"It's so wonderful. The Governor really knows my heart. It's best if you can't write it out, so that you can go home and be with my sister. Well, there is also my future nephew. I am not brave enough to do this. One day, if you lose your hair on the battlefield, my poor sister will die of grief?"

Pooh! This time it was Mei Hua who spat on Wu Ya's face, "I know you don't have good intentions. Just watch. I will definitely write a big article. I can't write or ask for help?"

Drop this sentence. Mei Hua turned around and left. Wu Ya laughed loudly behind him, "If you dare to find someone to write for you, I will go to the governor to expose you, and I will definitely drive you home to be with my sister. Hahaha!"

Mei Hua was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas fell to the ground. She got on her horse, gave Wu Ya a middle finger, turned around, hit the horse and left. The two armies parted ways at the fork in the road and rushed to their respective combat goals. Although they went separate ways, the high-spirited military songs echoed each other.

Shortly after the First Division of the Guards left Shahe City under the command of Yang Dasha, a large number of civilian officials from Hejian County also arrived here and began to take over the government affairs of Shahe City in an orderly manner. Wu Cian, the governor of Hejian County, He has a high reputation in Hejian County, and he is a scholar, but he has gathered a large number of scholars. After these people join Zhengdong Mansion, they will be of great benefit to Zhengdong Mansion's rule in Hejian County. This was also one of Gao Yuan's considerations when appointing the county governor. Whether it was Zheng Jun from western Liaoning or Wu Ci'an from Hejian, they were not only locals, but also well-educated guys. Such people became the governor of a county. The local scholars and country squires are undoubtedly a reassuring shot and a tonic.

In Zhengdong Mansion, civil and military administrations were divided. In this aspect, they coincided with Qin's policy of governing the country. Unlike other countries, the highest official in a place was not only the head of the civil service, but also in charge of governing people's livelihood. The actual controller of the army is also in charge of fighting, dividing the civil and military forces, and restricting each other. Li Ru and Jiang Jiaquan, the brothers, have a common topic in this regard.

Although everything was prepared in advance, it would take ten days to fully control Shahe City. When everything was on track, Gao Yuan led two cavalry divisions with a total of 10,000 cavalry and left Shahe City. , they did not go to Tianhe County to meet up with Guo Laowen, but went directly to Jicheng.

Dispatching 10,000 cavalry at one time is really a luxury in the war in the Central Plains countries. I am afraid that except for Donghu and Daqin, no other country in the world can invest so many troops at once. The cavalry, especially Gao Yuan, are still fighting on several battlefields at the same time.

When the iron hooves rumbled on the land of Tianhe County, all countries were shocked. No one had expected that Gao Yuan, who lived in a remote corner of Yan State, had such strength. These days, I don’t know how many people on this continent have not slept peacefully.

Everyone understands that Yan State is in danger.

Ji Wugui got the news on the second night after Shahe City was lost. Some of the defenders who fled from Shahe City escaped the pursuit of the Zhengdong Army and fled all the way to Shahe City. When the news was delivered to Ji Wugui, the governor of Tianhe County was in bed with his new concubine.

The official who reported the news knew that the matter was urgent, and regardless of the obstruction of the maid outside, he stood outside the door and loudly reported to Ji Wugui that Shahe City had been lost and Ji Heng had died in battle.

There was a scream in the room, followed by the sound of people knocking over stools and tables. The officials outside were sweating profusely, but they didn't care whether they would frighten the county governor and make him impotent or have a stroke. Compared with the entire Tianhe County, this was a small matter.

Ji Wugui rushed out of the room in dishevel. The officials standing at the door even saw the endless spring scenery on the big couch in the room through the wide open door, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the jade body lying in the formation.

"Quick, quick, gather all civil and military officials and go to the meeting hall to discuss matters immediately." Ji Wugui's manners at this time were really a bit inappropriate, with messy clothes, bare feet, and the key point was that there were red lipstick marks all over his face.

In the silent Tianhe County, the alarm bell suddenly sounded. In the dark city, lights were lit up one after another, and the whole county was lit up in an instant. Then, a huge noise came from all over the city. For many years, Tianhe County had not encountered such a thing. They thought that the several tall alarm bells built on the city tower would never ring.

At dawn, fast horses galloped to the county seat of various places. Because of the previous misjudgment, Ji Wugui was about to pay a painful price. He did not gather all the troops in the county. Tianhe County had more than 50,000 soldiers. Now the more than 10,000 soldiers in Tianhe City have disappeared. In the county city, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers. The rest are stationed in various places. It is not easy to gather them. It will take one or two days to move the camp, raise supplies for the march, and mobilize. It is impossible to move at all. But it will take less than two days for fast horses to travel from Shahe City to Tianhe County.

Tianhe County City is not like Shahe City. More than 10,000 soldiers climbed up the city wall. Although they could fill the wall, it was so thin that it could be penetrated with a single poke. It could not form a defensive layer at all. Now Ji Wugui regretted so much that he wanted to jump off the city.

After summoning the garrisons from all over the country, calling for help from Jicheng, and mobilizing the young and strong men in the city to take up arms, Ji Wugui was busy for three or four days before he finally saw the smoke rolling in from afar.

The flag of the Second Division of the Youth Guards Guo was flying high in the air. Although there were only a few thousand soldiers, the oppressive feeling brought by the strict military appearance made the entire Tianhe County City wall silent for a while.

Just when the Tianhe County City was in chaos, in the vast mountains above the border of Langya County, an army was struggling to make its way. This was the second army Tie Xuan's troops under Ye Zhong's Southern Group Army of the Eastern Expedition Army. Their goal was to cross the uninhabited area of ​​hundreds of miles, occupy the new fields in Langya County, and cut off the possibility of Hu Yanchao's army in Langya County going to Tianhe to help.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Tie Xuan stood on a high rock and encouraged the soldiers loudly. In this uninhabited area, livestock such as horses and mules became a burden, but they had to be brought with them because Tie Xuan also brought large weapons such as bed crossbows. Now, Tie Xuan could only leave them behind and lead a division of 5,000 troops to advance lightly. The intelligence sent from the rear told him that Tianhe County was moving extremely quickly, and Zheng Xiaoyang's First Army's attack on Xiaoshan Pass was not smooth. Hu Yanchao was indeed an expert in defending the city. Xiaoshan Pass had been fought for nearly a month, and Ding Wei, the main attacker, still failed to take it down. Zheng Xiaoyang was so anxious that blisters appeared on his mouth and he had already visited Xiaoshan Pass in person.

If the Xiaoshan Pass cannot be breached, the troops of Langya County cannot be contained, and Hu Yanchao will be able to go to Tianhe to provide support and create trouble for the Young Guards. Ye Zhong requires Zheng Xuan to occupy Xintian and seal off the troops of Langya County before Hu Yanchao sends troops, no matter what the cost. (To be continued)
