Chapter 697 Brilliant, Pretending and Stupid

On February 15th, on the south bank of the Jima River, the Longxiang Army, the newly formed infantry first army, received an order and set off to set off, following the Jinjia Shengjie Army. Hearing the order to set off, the soldiers of Wudu, the fifth capital of the left wing, were all excited. They had been here for several days, and camped in the wild in the late spring of February, and had to sleep in armor and hold weapons every night. This was really bad.

Instead of staying here, they look forward to going to the battlefield and fighting vigorously, but in exchange for military merit rewards.

Guo Xiong took his horse and started to tie up his tents, blankets and other equipment on the horse.

He was originally a united soldier of the Dengzhou Tuanjie Battalion, but he participated in the battle against Liao two years ago and performed outstandingly. Later, he participated in the battle of western Liaoning and the subsequent battle to destroy Goguryeo. In the end, due to his outstanding performance, he joined the original support of the Japanese army and became a sergeant. Last autumn, his elder brother Guo Wei won the Flying Cavalry Medal and the Honored Tian Xunjian for his military achievements, and became a nobleman.

Because Guo Wei applied to his superiors, he won a quota for Guo Xiong. After the autumn, he entered the Liaonan Non-commissioned Officer School for further study for half a year. After the New Year, after returning to the camp early from the military academy, he was immediately promoted and became a third-level sergeant commander. He was appointed as the commander of the left team of the left team of the Longxiang Army, the first army of the new infantry, and was officially appointed as the martial arts rank of the deputy lieutenant of Rong, who was under the ninth rank, and became a military officer of the ninth rank.

This is the most important transformation from a soldier to an officer.

Since his promotion, his father Guo Dayan was so excited that he had to brag about everyone. Who would have thought that Guo Dayan, who had been farming for generations, would still enjoy such blessings when he was old. His eldest son became a magistrate of the Imperial Martial Arts School in one fell swoop. It made his face shine. He felt that the smoke from the ancestral grave was that his eldest son not only became a military officer from the 8th rank, but also became a nobleman who was awarded a meritorious scholar.

A nobleman!

The eldest and second brothers became officers, and the eldest became a nobleman, and the Guo family immediately changed their identity. Now the eldest daughter-in-law has just given birth to a eldest grandson for the Guo family, and is more happy. Then, countless matchmakers are about to break the threshold of the old Guo family. Countless families are scrambling to give their daughters to the second brothers as daughters-in-law. Among them, there are not only the former neighbors, but also several small officials and several business banks at the dock where Guo Dayan works. Even in the wife workshop, many people want to marry their daughters to the Guo family. By the way, Guo Dayan's two unmarried daughters have also become popular all at once. Countless people want to marry the Guo family, and those who come to propose marriage are stronger than the other, from ordinary workers to businessmen to scholars and then to officials' families, and even these people claim that they don't need the Guo family dowry at all.

You know, now the people of Dengzhou live a relatively rich life, and as a result, a custom of dowrying has emerged. If you marry a daughter, you will give more brides, and the more dowry you will get. If you have more daughters, you will start to feel that it is a burden.

"Captain!"

A report interrupted Guo Xiong's thoughts. His deputy chief Chen Lin handed a piece of beef jerky. Guo Xiong looked at it and found that this beef jerky is five-spice and is easy to carry, but it is extremely hungry. It can be eaten for a while to fight.

In the army, officers like Guo Xiong, who were under the age of 30 and who had studied in martial arts lecture halls, military academies and other places, were privately called the "young and strong" and "elites" by the soldiers. These people could see that they had a bright future. Especially after the promulgation of the new military service system.

But the lower-level officers like Chen Lin who are over forty years old, but are still a deputy mate and have few literacy, are completely different. Their more way out is to transfer to local governments, and they don’t have much future in the army in places like the police station, urban management bureau, and public security team.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Lin, the older deputy chief, has no other thoughts about his boss Guo Xiong, who is only half his age. Guo Xiong is like the sunrise in the east, but the sun is setting. Why should he overestimate his ability to make things difficult for a young officer with a bright future? What's more, although Guo Xiong is the leader of the MIIS team of the Shengjie Army, and is a newcomer who has won the flying cavalry medal and become a great master who has become a great master in less than 30 years, Chen Lin has figured out the situation of this new boss from his fellow villager, and will not have any other ideas that should not have.

"Please give me a lecture."

Guo Xiong nodded, chewed the five-spice beef jerky, tidied up his training uniform, swallowed the beef jerky, and then took care of his helmet before walking to the team in front.

A group of two soldiers, led by two sergeants, were all neatly packed and stood straight in two rows.

Mutual courtesy.

"Listen to everyone, this time our target is Guiyi County, Zhuozhou, 80 miles southwest. According to the information from the Military Intelligence Department, Guiyi County has gathered the main forces of Mo, Ying and the two prefectures and Liu Yue, one army of 23,000 troops."

Although the Longxiang Army is an infantry army, it is also an elite soldier. Although the number of 23,000 soldiers and horses is not small, it does not move them at all. There are 30,000 infantry soldiers in the camp here, let alone 40,000 cavalry. In the eyes of all soldiers, Guiyi City is a dish, a dish that makes people salivate.

Zhang Xiong was very satisfied with the confidence and calmness of his brothers below. The warriors were much stronger than the united soldiers. He continued: "These 23,000 soldiers are our goal this time. Of course, the brothers of the cavalry have already set out first, and our mission is to move with the central army. When we reach the city of Guiyi County, the task of siege will be completed by our infantry brothers. Brothers, this is an opportunity to make achievements. Our 30,000 infantry are responsible for siege, and the 40,000 cavalry will guard us!"

Guo Xiong is just a team leader. In fact, when a war starts, at least it is mobilized by teams. They just need to follow the team's flag to move. So Guo Xiong didn't say much, and beat the eight-foot flag gun in his hand, and the bright triangle red flag was waving.

"When fighting, Lao Daozhezi and the two sergeant, you two sergeant, looked at my flag gun and followed me closely. The other brothers followed your sergeant's flag gun. If there were too many, I won't say anything. In short, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it. Everyone is careful, maybe this time they can earn a flying cavalry, a Tiger Ben Medal, and become a sergeant from now on. From then on, they will also wear the sword on their body and become a nobleman."

A group of soldiers were excited. Nowadays, military merits are the most valuable, and such an opportunity is indeed rare. Even if they die, they are not afraid. Anyway, the pensions in the army are very heavy, and their wives and children are raised by the government.

Use a knife to gain wealth, and be sure to die!

Guiyi County is affiliated to Zhuozhou, and in later generations it is roughly in Xiongxian and Rongcheng areas.

At this time, 23,000 troops from Liu Yue's army, Liu Rengong's army, and Li Quanzhong's army gathered in this small county town, and most of the troops from Mo Ying and Zhuo were gathered.

Night is about to fall, and under the gloomy sky, Guiyi City has become a large army camp.

The three families had 20,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, which made the place full of noise. In addition to these warriors, the logistics auxiliary soldiers and civilians who arrived later were no less than those of the warriors. The 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yingzhou were dubbed by the Yiwu Army, nicknamed Golden Head King, and led by Li Kunwei, the governor of Yingzhou. In addition to the 10,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, the Golden Head King also brought 20,000 young and strong civilians to transport food, grass and equipment.

Liu Rengong, the governor of Mozhou who led two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry, also brought 10,000 young and strong auxiliary soldiers.

Liu Yue's subordinates in Guiyi County also recruited three thousand auxiliary soldiers.

After doing this, there were 3,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry in Guiyi County at this time. There were 33,000 auxiliary soldiers. The whole city was crowded with soldiers everywhere.

Three troops gathered, Li Kuanwei occupied the east of the city, Liu Rengong occupied the south of the city, and Zhang Xingze, the governor of Zhuozhou, occupied the north of the city. In addition to Zhang Xingze's troops stationed in the camp, Li Kuanwei and Liu Rengong's soldiers lived directly into the homes of the people. The people had homes but could not return, so they had to build a large temporary tent in the west of the city, which made the west of the city look like a refugee camp.

The generals of the three ministries met in the original county government. In summary, Liu Rengong's prestige was higher among the three ministries, so this coalition was dominated by Liu Rengong, with Li Kuanwei and Zhang Xingze as their deputy.

Sitting in the county government, Liu Rengong was very satisfied while drinking hot tea.

"Ahem!"

Liu Rengong coughed a few times, attracting the generals' gaze.

"Everyone, I have received the news that King Zhao has gathered 60,000 troops in Cangzhou City, including 10,000 elite cavalry. In addition, the 20,000 troops sent by King Zhao have been divided into two groups and successfully captured the two states of De and Di, and blocked the Yellow River." After saying that, Liu Rengong smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of hot tea.

According to the agreement, after taking over Cangzhou, Wang Jingchong would divide Cangzhou into two, and the land and population north of Cangzhou City were divided into Jingzhou and distributed to Liu Rengong. The rest of the territory, Dezhou belonged to Han Jian, while Li Quanzhong and Liu Yue shared a part of the money and silk woman. Of course, the most important thing was to defeat Li Jing, the common goal.

"The 30,000 troops of the King of Wei have arrived in Shenzhou and are heading north along the Tsuda River and will arrive soon."

"In addition, the King of Yan and King Yi have also concentrated 50,000 elite troops in Youzhou. As long as Li Jing's army arrives at the city of Cangzhou, the King of Wei and King Zhao will drag Li Jing's army, and then the King of Yan and King of Yi will lead troops to attack Pingzhou, seize Shanhai Pass, 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 is very comprehensive. Since Li Jing has 50,000 cavalry under his command, in order to prevent Li Jing from escaping. Therefore, Liu Yue and Li Quanzhong will directly attack Pingzhou and capture Shanhaiguan. As long as they capture Shanhaiguan, it will be difficult for the main force outside Li Jing to enter the pass. As for the pass to enter Ping, Ji, Tan, Shun, and Jingzhou, there are actually not many soldiers. At that time, they will close the door and fight the dog, and they will be captured in one net.
