~.<  >-~ Chapter 234: Resignation

After settled a group of people who had just returned from Lu Ning, Yao Meng and Ding Jian, knelt straight in front of Yun Zhao on one knee.

"General Yao, what are you doing?" Yun Zhao quickly reached out to help him, "It is worth doing this little thing for the border army in Lucheng City. I can't afford such a great gift from General Yao!"

Yao Meng's hands sank and still knelt firmly on the ground. Yun Zhao didn't help him, so he had to sideways to avoid it.

"General Yun, Yao Meng, the border troops in Lucheng are at their wits end and have nowhere to go. Please ask General Yun to take them in." Yao Meng said loudly.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the hall showed joy on their faces. Yun Zhao's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "General Yao, although Anqing Border Army and Lucheng Border Army belong to the same border army series, they are not affiliated with each other. I am afraid this is not good! General Yao does not have to worry about military supplies and other things. My Anqing Border Army will definitely help Lucheng Border Army on time. I have said before that if Anqing Border Army eats a meal, it will not be a meal for Lucheng Border Army."

Yao Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Since the date of the imperial edict on the capital, there will be no border country in Lucheng in this world. Yao Meng, Ding Jian and the two thousand Lucheng border troops have become lonely ghosts. Now Yao Meng and Ding Jian are no longer fifth-rank generals of the Lucheng border troops in the imperial court, but only first-rank martial artists Yao Meng and Ding Jian. But we still have the intention to kill Meng and resist the enemy, and beg General Yun to take it in. We are willing to be an ordinary soldier under General Yun's command."

"This?" Yun Zhao pondered.

Su Dingfang, who was on the side, stood up, "Old Yao, since your Lucheng border army wants to merge with us, there is one thing I have to say, in order to ensure the unity and combat effectiveness of the command of the upper and lower troops, once you join us, we will reorganize the troops. In other words, these two thousand soldiers of the Lucheng border army will be disrupted and reorganized. Can you accept this?"

Yao Meng's face remained unchanged. He took out a neatly stacked military flag from his arms and shouted: "From today, the border troops of Lucheng will disappear from this world, and Yao Meng and Ding Jian will no longer exist." He held the Lucheng military flag in both hands and raised it in front of Yun Zhao.

Seeing Yao Meng agreeing to reorganize the border army in Lucheng, Yun Zhao's biggest worry immediately disappeared. He took the military flag with both hands, and pulled Yao Meng up with force, and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since that's the case, we will be brothers from now on. Everyone guards Anqing together and fights against Mengdog."

Everyone in the hall applauded and laughed. Ding Jian walked forward and said, "General Yun, we are now considered the main criminals of the court. Once the court knows that Boss Yao and I are not dead yet, we will definitely arrest us. In the future, we will give our more than 100 pounds to General Yun."

Yun Zhao laughed: "What are you afraid of? The court is a ball. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. We don't have to worry about them at all. Whoever wants to touch my Yun Zhao for no reason? Write me to ask if my knife agrees, don't worry!"

"Thank you for your protection from General Yun!" Ding Jian bowed to the ground.

The next day, the Lucheng border army changed its flags, and the flags of the third battalion of Anqing border army rose high. Su Dingfang Tuhu and the other two met Yao Meng. Dingjian began to reorganize the soldiers of Lucheng border army. A batch of soldiers of Lucheng border army were transferred, and batches of defenders of Anqing and Shibao were transferred. After the reorganization, the third battalion took Yao Meng as the battalion, Ding Jian and Tuhu as the deputy generals, and each had a team of thousands of people. The entire third battalion still maintained a scale of two thousand people.

At this time, the Anqing Border Army under Yun Zhao's command had a total of four battalions. The first battalion was composed of Su Dingfang as the battalion, Tu Xiong as the deputy, the second battalion was composed of Hu Zehua as the battalion, Hao Ren as the deputy, the third battalion Yao Meng as the battalion, Tu Hu Ding Jian as the deputy, plus the cavalry battalion, Yan Xiaoyi as the battalion, Lao Jiangfeng served as the logistics officer of the entire army. Guo Feng, who performed well in this Lu Ning operation and the previous several intelligence spy operations, became the director of the Military Intelligence Department, the newly established organization of the Anqing Border Army. Surprisingly, Qu Linfeng, the son of Qu Lu, insisted on joining the Anqing Border Army. Considering his actual situation, Yun Zhao arranged him to the Military Intelligence Department for intelligence analysis.

The completion of the integration of the Anqing border army means that Yun Zhao has officially fully incorporated Anqing's military strength into his palms. Among the nearly 10,000 troops, the proportion of veterans accounted for more than 70% of the military forces, which is quite amazing in the composition of an army, and it also represents the strong combat effectiveness of this army. Generally speaking, the proportion of veterans in an army will not exceed half. However, Yun Zhao thanks to the cruel city defense battle of the Anqing border army in the past two years and the joining of the Lucheng border army, his combat effectiveness is far greater than that of ordinary troops.

If there is a flaw, of course it is the cavalry battalion. I am used to the power of cavalry combat like the Eagle-billed Rock Horse Bandits. At present, the cavalry battalion composed of 500 cavalry led by Yan Xiaoyi can only be said to be a growing child. Although it can be foreseeable that they will become a brigade in the near future, it is still useless at the moment.

This made Yan Xiaoyi very angry. Now he lacks everything, lacks war horses and lacks good riders. This made him rush Yun Zhao to attack Tutuo more than once, so that he could steal some war horses back. The cavalry battalion now has 500 people and only more than 500 war horses. How could Yan Xiaoyi be willing to stand up? In general, the reserve of a cavalry department should be twice as much as that of its riders, so that he can afford to consume in the war. According to the current scale, after a big battle, Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion will become an infantry battalion.

But Yun Zhao is no longer the fledgling yellow-haired boy who was just starting out. He is not considering a certain aspect, but needs to coordinate the overall situation. The dispatch of the army of tens of thousands of people is not a fun thing. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Compared to the previous ones in Yingzui Rock, it is much more difficult. In the past, you can grab it as soon as you say you want, and you don’t have to worry about anything. You can run away if you get it, but now you can’t run away.

If you don’t be in charge of the family, you don’t know how expensive it is. Yun Zhao became the chief general of an army of more than 10,000 people. He finally knew this difficult situation. Now, just tens of thousands of people’s daily food, drink, defecation and urination is enough for him to scratch his head.

The sun is getting warmer day by day. The snow that has covered a whole month has begun to disintegrate bit by bit under the scorching sun. Pieces of black and oily land reveal their true colors from the snow. At the same time, some tender green buds also emerge from the land at the right time, basking in the sunlight greedily and sucking the spring breeze.

You can hear the sound of snow melting into water everywhere, rushing, ding dong, like a sound of nature played by nature, the spring is surging from everywhere uncontrollably.

Walking on the thick and fertile land, Yun Zhao sighed: "If we don't fight, we will be sown in these lands. There will be a good harvest in a few months. But now, he can only waste and be soaked in blood. The place where the houses were supposed to be concentrated is now erected fortresses. It is so hateful that if we don't defeat them, we will never have a good life."

Old Jiang Feng, who was by his side, smiled and said, "Who can tell the truth? This land has often experienced wars. General Yun, spring has come, but our food crisis has worsened. Fortunately, wild vegetables have grown now, and it can last for a few days, but it is probably not a solution to continue like this."

"Persevere, Quan Yifeng is back. He brought back Pan Haoran's reply from Yizhou. Yizhou will give us 500,000 kilograms of military ration. Once this batch of grain arrives, we can launch an attack on Tutuo."

"Five hundred thousand kilograms, so much?" Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

Yun Zhao's face was a little happy, "Pan Haoran said in the letter that this was the last time he supported us for the sake of the dead Old General Yue. Next, Yizhou will not give us any support. We have to rely on ourselves."

Jiang Feng said with a sneer, "I remember the general once said that if he doesn't give it to me, we'll go and grab it!"

Yun Zhao said with a heavy expression: "Quan Yifeng brought back more than 500,000 kilograms of military rations. He stayed in Yizhou for almost two months and discovered many things that we had never thought of before."

"What's the matter?"

"Yizhou soldiers are far more than 50,000 troops in one prefecture. According to the information he secretly found in Yifeng General, Yizhou has at least 100,000 armored soldiers, and they are all well-trained elites."

Jiang Feng took a deep breath: "What do Pan Haoran wants to do?"

Yun Zhao burst out laughing, "Isn't it clear what I want to do? Da Yue and Mengren are about to break out in full swing. Pan Haoran has great ambitions and wants to compete for the world's general trend!"

"He is too brave!" Jiang Feng exclaimed, "General Yun, what should we do?"

"What can we do? Our current number of people is not enough to be stuck between the teeth. We can only hold up our tails, lie in a corner, widen our eyes, and watch the battle."

"Don't we have a chance?" Jiang Feng asked tentatively.

Yun Zhao laughed, "You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk one step at a time. Now let's be honest. When will we also have a state territory and a 100,000-strong armored company? Let's talk about this issue?"

Jiang Feng smiled knowingly. "General Yun, will the road leading to Yizhou be built on the stone fortress?"

“How long has it been repaired?”

"More than twenty miles!"

"Stop first and wait until the other party's general's ration is delivered, Mr. Jiang, remember that when this road is rebuilt, there must be more fortresses along the way."

"What does the general mean?"

"Be prepared for any trouble!"

"I see!"

"How is the situation in Hulu Valley?"

"Spring sowing in the valley has sown seeds. Yao Qian and Mr. Yao's medicinal fields have sprouted now. After the snow has melted, as long as the men, women, young and old in the Valley of Hulu Valley can move, they have gone up the mountain to collect herbs. Fortunately, the beasts nearby have almost been wiped out by us this winter, and there will be no danger in them going up the mountain."

"Well, Mr. Yao's pharmacy will be our most important financial path in the future. You must support us with all our strength."

"I know!"

"Has Jingyan selected the location?"

"After you have chosen, the weather has completely improved, you can start."

"We need to do now to consolidate our foundation, make ourselves stronger step by step, and then try to do other things. Never be too ambitious." Yun Zhao stopped and looked up at the cloudless blue sky, "There are still a long time!"

(Tomorrow's final, our opponents are extremely strong, we lost to them last year, and we met again this year in the cold weather. Dear children, please pray for me. May we hit every shot tomorrow, defend without any leakage, and successfully take revenge!)
