"My lord governor, good news, the bandit army has retreated!"
In the Governor's Mansion of Jiangbei Province, Xu Yong, the deputy general of the People's Army, yelled at the top of his voice as soon as he stepped into the gate.
Governor Xu Zhenxiong was eating in the dining room, when he heard Xu Yong's shout outside, he didn't leave his job, and strode out to greet him.
The Qinghe Army swept across Jiangbei Province, and the cavalry all attacked outside the provincial capital. Governor Xu Zhenxiong also had trouble sleeping and eating, and he had lost weight these days.
"Vice General Xu, the bandit army has really retreated?"
Seeing Xu Yong striding forward with more than a dozen generals, Governor Xu Zhenxiong asked excitedly standing on the steps of the door.
"Retired, my lord governor, the bandit army has really retreated!" A general of the garrison said happily.
"God bless, God bless."
Hearing that the Qinghe army had really retreated, Governor Xu Zhenxiong bowed to the sky with both hands, and his mouth was plausible.
"My lord governor, now that the bandit army has retreated, we should take advantage of the situation to cover up and regain the lost ground." Xu Yong clasped his fists and asked for a fight.
"What if this is the bandit army's trick to lure the snake out of the hole?"
Governor Xu Zhenxiong was already full of fear of the Qinghe army in his bones, and he became cautious when he heard that Xu Yong was going to lead his troops to pursue it.
Xu Yong said: "Your Excellency, don't worry. The bandit army and our 20th Corps of the Civilian Army suffered heavy losses. Now after their retaliatory looting, they urgently need to go back to rest and heal their injuries. I think they should really retire. gone."
"The thieves are extremely cunning, we'd better be more cautious."
Although Governor Xu Zhenxiong was happy that the Qinghe Army retreated on its own initiative, allowing him to keep the provincial capital and continue to serve as Governor.
But now he has become a frightened bird, worried that the Qinghe army will make a comeback, so he thinks it is better to be safe.
Seeing Xu Zhenxiong who was scared out of his wits, Xu Yong was also full of contempt for him.
"My lord governor, how about this? I will take people out to test the bandit army first, and the provincial guards will stay in the capital. Even if I have something good or bad, the provincial capital will not be taken advantage of by the bandit army."
"Then you are not risking yourself, it is too dangerous."
Governor Xu Zhenxiong didn't expect Xu Yong to have such courage, and the way he looked at him suddenly became different.
"Thank you, Governor, for your concern. If the situation is not right, I will return it."
Seeing Xu Yong's insistence on leading his troops to attack, Governor Xu Zhenxiong also wanted to know whether Qinghe's retreat was fake or real, so after thinking twice, he also agreed with Xu Yong to go out of the city to test Qinghe's army.
"In this case, you should go out of the city to test the bandits, but you have to be extremely careful."
"My lord governor, without further ado, I'll go now."
Seeing that Governor Xu Zhenxiong agreed to his request, Xu Yong hurriedly left and went straight to the barracks to gather troops.
"It would be great if our provincial garrison had a hero like Xu Yong."
Seeing Xu Yong striding away, Governor Xu Zhenxiong was also filled with emotion.
Although his provincial garrison now has 60,000 troops, it doesn't have any generals.
Although Xu Yong is the only surviving general of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, he is brave and resourceful, which the Governor Xu Zhenxiong also appreciates.
"What unusual behavior did Xu Yong do these days?"
?After Xu Yong left, Governor Xu Zhenxiong summoned one of his confidants to inquire.
Although Xu Yong took refuge in Governor Xu Zhenxiong, Xu Zhenxiong did not trust him very much and had been sending people to spy on him.
"General Xu has not acted abnormally in the past few days except for training his soldiers."
The confidant thought for a while and said: "By the way, he went to the Qin family's mansion once and brought a lot of gifts to visit the Qin family."
?After hearing Xu Yong's actions, Governor Xu Zhenxiong also looked at Xu Yong with admiration. He did not expect Xu Yong to be such a loving and righteous person.
As the saying goes, tea is cold when people go out, the 20th Corps of the Qin Family suffered a disastrous defeat on the battlefield, General Qin Feng of Xiaoqi was killed in battle, and none of the five sons came back.
The Qin family has lost its pillar, and the family's decline can be said to be a certainty.
Others avoided it, but Xu Yong even took the initiative to visit the Qin family, which made Xu Zhenxiong feel more fond of Xu Yong.
"If he can return safely this time, it's not a bad idea to recruit him under his command." Xu Zhenxiong muttered to himself.
afterDuring the investigation of Xu Yong, Governor Xu Zhenxiong was satisfied with Xu Yong in general, so he decided to really recruit him under his command.
Xu Yong naturally didn't know that his rating in Governor Xu Zhenxiong's heart had risen again, and he was busy leading his troops to take over the territory that Chen Ziang had deliberately given up.
The West Camp of the Qinghe Army was established in Baoning Mansion, which is adjacent to the provincial capital, and was guarded by the deputy army commander Li Lang and two banner regiments.
Therefore, after the troops led by Xu Yong left the city, they quickly recovered the area around the provincial capital, and sent troops to recover Lanze Mansion and Yinghua Mansion, which had been devastated by the war.
When the troops led by Xu Yong arrived at Lanze Mansion, they just encountered King Ning's mighty army who led the army to take revenge.
? On that day, the cavalry unit under the command of Prince Ning's son Long Jun fought a fierce battle with the 13th Cavalry Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army. Long Jun only led more than ten cavalry to escape from birth, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
After Long Jun fled back to Luyang Province, the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he really couldn't swallow the anger in his heart.
Therefore, after regrouping the 50,000 mighty infantry of the mighty army, they rushed to the Lanze Mansion aggressively, trying to avenge their shame.
It is a pity that the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army has withdrawn from the Lanze Mansion area, and the troops led by Xu Yong have stationed here.
Facing the menacing Long Jun's mighty army, although there were only more than 10,000 people Xu Yong entered Lanze Mansion, they also firmly stopped them with a tough attitude.
"Lanze Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei Province. Without the order of the Governor, no army is allowed to enter without authorization. Please also leave the Lanze Mansion immediately, otherwise we will expel it by force!"
Facing the mighty army led by Long Jun, Xu Yong also gave a righteous warning, and at the same time reported it to Governor Xu Zhenxiong.
Long Jun let the Qinghe army beat him to death, and now even the troops of the governor of Jiangbei Province, who are still alive, don't give him face, which makes him furious.
"Get out of the way, or you will bear the consequences!"
Long Jun was also a ruthless person, he turned a deaf ear to Xu Yong's warning and even issued threats.
Facing Long Jun's threat, Xu Yong did not hesitate at all. On the one hand, he urgently asked Governor Xu Zhenxiong for help, and on the other hand, he seized the time to prepare for the battle.
Previously, Lanze Mansion was ravaged by Long Jun's mighty army, and the rich and powerful families suffered heavy losses.
It's just that they dared not speak out when facing the mighty mighty army. Now that the mighty army wants to come over, they are naturally unwilling. They also actively support Xu Yong to stop the mighty army.
Those powerful families in Lanze Mansion gathered their private soldiers under Xu Yong's command one after another, and a steady stream of food supplies were also sent to the frontline army.
?With the support of the powerful local families, Xu Yong also became full of confidence, and he would not give an inch in the face of the mighty army.
When the Qinghe Army swept through the Jiangbei Province, instead of supporting Governor Xu Zhenxiong to resist the Qinghe Army, King Ning's mighty army wanted to seize the territory.
? Governor Xu Zhenxiong was also worried about this, so he was also very angry when he learned that the mighty army had charged again.
Xu Zhenxiong urgently dispatched 30,000 provincial garrison troops to Lanze Mansion to listen to Xu Yong's command to resist the mighty military army.
After all, now that he, the governor, can control the three mansions including Lanze Mansion, if the mighty army wants to grab it, he, the governor, naturally can't give it up. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
