Tianfu!
A platoon of soldiers had already stood outside the Admiral's Mansion. They were Zhao Wanfang's guard platoon.
After a while, Zhao Wanfang came out of the mansion wearing a hat. Behind him were two women and the master, all four of them holding two large boxes in their hands.
The three of them got into the car and Zhao Wancong ordered the troops to drive directly out of the city.
"Master, it will be safe once you leave the city. Now the 14th Regiment has occupied Longhua County, and the 37th Division has reached Hemeng County." The master said.
"Qin Jinhong and Cao Yi, these two beasts actually dare to rebel. Just wait. When the imperial army arrives, their lives will be worse than death." Zhao Wanfang said through gritted teeth.
When Zhao Wanfang said these words, not to mention Qin Jinhong, even the master next to him sneered in his heart.
As soon as the imperial army arrived, the imperial court could not protect itself. The Northeast Army's 300,000 troops entered the pass. What strength did the imperial court have to fight the Northeast Army?
That's just lighting a lantern in the toilet - seeking death.
"Master, it's better for us to escape from the city first. Let's talk about this kind of thing later."
"You're right, it's important to save your life." Zhao Wanfang's excitement calmed down because he just realized that he was running for his life now.
Not long after Zhao Wanfang left the city, Li Sheng and the Second Battalion rushed to Tianfu.
At this time, Tianfu did not have any troops, and Li Sheng easily occupied it.
"Search for me. Remember, it has nothing to do with the people. What we are looking for is Zhao Wanfang."
"Yes, battalion commander!"
…
Hemeng County.
Cao Yi led the Thirty-seventh Division to fight against the defenders of Humeng County. The originally defeated imperial army regained its fighting spirit with the addition of the Tianfu garrison.
The Thirty-seventh Division was actually severely damaged.
Thirty-seventh Division Headquarters
Cao Yi walked to the front line and took out his binoculars to look at Hemeng County.
"Why can't you take it off?"
"Master, you know the combat effectiveness of the Tianfu garrison. There are more than 3,000 people. Now the garrison troops from various counties are still gathering in Hemeng County. We are fighting very hard and have suffered a lot of losses." Sun Shu said .
"Hoo~"
Cao Yi let out a long breath and said calmly: "Hemeng County must be won. If we cannot win Hemeng County, even if the 14th Regiment agrees to surrender, we will not have any merit."
"Teacher...but beating us like this will cause too much damage."
"I have no choice but to fight like this."
"We will consume them to death." Cao Yi said with firm eyes.
…
Humong County.
"Captain, there is news from the Second Battalion that they have captured Tianfu, but Zhao Wanfang ran away."
"Well, just run away. How is Hemeng County?" Qin Jinhong didn't care about Zhao Wanfang's life or death, but asked about Hemeng County.
"The Thirty-seventh Division fought bloody battles in Hemeng County and suffered heavy sacrifices."
"How is it possible? With more than 20,000 people in the Thirty-seventh Division, they can't take Hemeng County?" Qin Jinhong asked with some confusion.
"Originally, we were about to capture it, but as soon as the Tianfu garrison arrived, they pushed back the Thirty-seventh Division. The Tianfu garrison had more than 3,000 people and was well-equipped. I thought it was normal that the Thirty-seventh Division could not be captured, and other county garrison troops We are also going to Hemeng County to provide support."
Xu Zhiyong said.
Qin Jinhong raised his head and looked at Xu Zhiyong: "Order the second and fourth battalions to send troops to Hemeng County."
"Support the Thirty-Seventh Division!"
Xu Zhiyong hesitated for a moment and then saluted: "Yes! Captain!"
Xu Zhiyong knew that this was the time for a decisive battle. By taking Hemeng County, most of Shu Province would be under their control.
…
After receiving the order, the Second and Fourth Battalions quickly assembled their troops and gathered in Hemeng County.
The defenders of Hemeng County who had been holding on desperately fell apart instantly after two regiments of the 14th Regiment joined.
After taking Hemeng County, Li Sheng, Hu Zhenfeng, and Cao Yi met in the city.
"Mr. Cao, we meet again." Hu Zhenfeng said with a smile.
"Mr. Hu, is it you? Have you also joined the 14th Regiment?" Cao Yi said in shock.
"Aren't you the same, Mr. Cao, we are colleagues now, hahaha," Hu Zhenfeng said with a laugh.
"Here, let me introduce you."
"Commander of the Second Battalion of the Fourteenth Regiment, Li Sheng!"
"Hello, Camp Commander Li!" Cao Yi stretched out his hand and said.
"Hello, Mr. Cao, I've heard of him for a long time. Now I've met him in person. Please give me some advice in the future." Li Sheng replied with a smile and cupped his fists.
"I don't know if Captain Qin is willing to accept me." Cao Yi said with a sigh.
"Don't worry, Master Cao. As long as you sincerely surrender, based on my understanding of the regimental commander, the regimental commander will definitely agree."
"Then please give me some kind words, Commander Li."
Li Sheng waved his hand and said: "We don't care about this. As long as you have the ability, you can be promoted. There are not many such officials."
"Hahaha." Cao Yi smiled, but his smile was a little awkward.
…
Humong County.
"Captain, Hemeng County has been captured, Li Sheng's second battalion is stationed in Tianfu, Hu Zhenfeng's fourth battalion has gone to Huayi County, and the 37th Division is on its way to Humeng County," Xu Zhiyong said.
"Let's go too, it's time for us to change places."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect, Commander, that we could actually conquer Tianfu. How long did it take?" Xu Zhiyong said with a smile knowing what Qin Jinhong meant.
"I didn't expect that either. Who would have thought that half of Shu is now in our hands." Qin Jinhong smiled and called Sanxi and Xu Zhiyong to go to Ji'an County.
"Zhiyong, please go and inform us that we will meet Cao Yi in Ji'an County."
"good."
…
When Qin Jinhong and Xu Zhiyong led the first battalion to Ji'an County.
After a while, Cao Yi also arrived.
Qin Jinhong also met Cao Yi.
Name: Cao Yi
Loyalty: 76
"Huh? Commander Cao, where are your troops?" Qin Jinhong asked.
"They are still on the way. The chief of staff and I will come here first to meet with Commander Qin."
"This is my chief of staff, Sun Shu"
"Hello Chief of Staff Sun." Qin Jinhong and Xu Zhiyong shook hands with Sun Shu respectively.
"Mr. Cao, I want to know why you suddenly want to join us?" Qin Jinhong asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Now that the imperial court is decayed, there is no good fruit left to follow the imperial court. Moreover, Commander Qin is a young man who is a hero and is also a troop that truly makes decisions for the people. Joining Captain Qin's troop is also the result of my careful consideration." Cao Yi said seriously.
"Hahaha, Mr. Cao, you will be very satisfied with what you did today." Qin Jinhong said with a smile.
"Commander Cao, do you mind if I disrupt your troops and reorganize them?"
"Captain Qin, do what you want, I am your soldier now!" Cao Yi stood at attention and saluted with a military salute.
"Okay, Commander Cao, I now temporarily order you to be the commander of the fifth battalion of the 14th Regiment!"
"Yes, leader!" Cao Yi saluted solemnly.
Qin Jinhong had also thought about doing this. Now Cao Yi's loyalty is seventy-six and he can be trusted, and he was also the president later. Just like Hu Zhenfeng was more than seventy when he first came, but now he is ninety-four. .
