After crossing the Tuotuo River, Lijun Qingqi did not enter Shangyuan City. Only Zhao Gui led a few guards to ride out of the city and walked with Luo Chuan, Zhao Wuji and others for a while.
Luo Chuan asked Zhao Gui to conduct active reconnaissance on the front line of the Fubo Mountains, and even set up beacon towers at some key points in the mountains to ensure a clear enough grasp of the movements of Nanyi and beast tides in the Fubo Mountains.
Zhao Wuji warned Zhao Gui to take the initiative to maintain communication with Luo Tianyu and not to be arrogant.
After such encouragement, Zhao Gui, who was already responsible for defending the territory and now faced greater defense requirements, left the Lijun Qingqi team. After watching the cavalry travel away, he hurriedly returned to the Uehara Army garrison.
In addition, Zhang Biao, the Wangchuan sword cultivator who returned to Shangyuan City alone after the battle in Heyu City, has finally returned. After telling Luo Chuan about everything in Heyu City, he and Chang Yufeng and other brothers They gathered together, and their words were inseparable from He Yucheng. However, when the other brothers who went to Heyu City were mentioned, many people were silent.
After that, the Lijun Qingqi marched quickly all the way north through the Uehara Pass. They did not stop for any reason other than setting up camp and resting their horses.
The sun was rising on this day, and before noon, Lijun Qingqi had already arrived at the south of Tongcang City. The black and red cavalry team galloped towards them, showing no signs of slowing down.
Soon, Tongcang City noticed the movement here. A cavalry team of fifty people came out of the city, drew an arc before approaching Lijun Qingqi, and finally merged into it. Therefore, the five thousand people The cavalry team, except for the two hundred cavalry who took the lead to protect Luo Chuan and others,
Except for the soldiers and the more than a hundred Wangchuan sword cultivators who followed them, the rest all began to turn and headed east of Tongcang City.
Luo Chuan and others continued to move forward until they reached a position close to the south gate of Tongcang City, and then slowly stopped.
Here, headed by General Gan Yuan Han Feng, a group of military generals and civil servants gathered in Tongcang City were waiting in an orderly manner under a temporary shed beside the official road.
At this time, Lu Sen, the Marquis of the Lijun Qingqi Second Army, was following the two hundred Qingqi guarding Luo Chuan. Luo Chuan turned around and said a few words, and Lu Sen nodded understandingly and ordered the two hundred Qingqi to stop on one side of the official road. Seeing this, Chang Yufeng reined in his horse and stopped at the edge of the official road with a group of Wangchuan sword cultivators to wait.
Luo Chuan, Zhao Wuji, Qian Xue and Siqi dismounted, handed the reins to the ten cavalrymen behind Lu Sen, and then walked towards the shed.
How could the people under the shed wait there stupidly? When they saw Luo Chuan turn over and dismount, they quickly rushed towards him under the leadership of the fat general Han Feng.
Han Feng was wearing ordinary clothes today. He looked like an ordinary rich man. He trotted like a round ball. From a long distance away, he knelt down with a thud and saluted Luo Chuan. grown ups!!"
The people who were following him were caught off guard by his move. When they reacted, they all knelt down and saluted.
"At last, I will pay my respects to the Governor!"
"My subordinates pay their respects to the Governor!"
Seeing this, Luo Chuan had no choice but to step forward quickly, help the fat man Han Feng up with his own hands, and after saying "get up" to the rest of the people, he said to Han Feng, "General Han, there are not many
We haven't seen each other for a long time, but you have lost a lot of weight. I heard Uncle Zhao say that you trained Gan Yuanjun well, and it seems to be true. "
The fat man Han Feng immediately had a look of righteousness on his face and said, "As soon as I surrendered as a general, I was able to take charge of Gan Yuan's army, all because of the trust of the prefect. Such kindness is comparable to reborn parents. How dare I not do my best? But to say that the Gan Yuan Army is indeed good, the credit does not belong to me. After all, I am in charge of the Gan Yuan Army only for a short period of time. The reason why the Gan Yuan Army is as elite as it is today is all due to the Lord Commander and General Luo!"
"Hey, what's yours is yours," Luo Chuan reached out and patted Han Feng's arm. "As for talking about surrendering generals, we are not allowed to mention it anymore. You and I are both courtiers of the Great Cauldron, and we originally had different subordinates. Now it’s fate to be together, so where did the general come from?”
A look of emotion appeared on Han Feng's face, he nodded vigorously and said, "The prefect taught me a lesson, I will remember it."
Luo Chuan turned to look at Zhao Wuji beside him and smiled.
, "Uncle Zhao, do you still remember the last time we were in Ganyuan, I told General Han that if there is a war to expand the territory in the future, we should give him a chance?" After seeing Zhao Wuji nod, he said to Han Feng, "General Han , I always keep my word, so for this battle, we have recruited you and your Gan Yuan Army, but military exploits must be achieved on the battlefield, and you want, the young people behind you People also want to say that I, as a prefect, cannot be selfish, but after all, you are new to our army, so it is necessary for you to get closer to the deputy commander of our army during these days in Tongcang."
Upon hearing this, Han Feng immediately bowed to Zhao Wuji and saluted, "Han will definitely pay more tribute to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief."
Please teach me, please teach me, Deputy Commander-in-Chief! "
Zhao Wuji did not help him. After Han Feng straightened up again, he said calmly, "General Han, you are welcome. You and I are colleagues, and Zhao will definitely take care of him."
Luo Chuan smiled slightly, and then looked past Han Feng to see the people behind him. They were four generals standing straight in armor. The first one was the tallest. It was Chen Shaoxiong, the general of Tongcang City who had fought a bloody battle at Xiongguan. A man with long hair and leopard eyes, full of murderous aura, is Zhang Zifeng, who is as famous as Chen Shaoxiong and is known as the Taiming general of the South Zhang Bei Chen.
The next one has a strong body, dark skin, stubble on his face, and good facial features, but his appearance is hard to remember at a glance. His appearance is somewhat ordinary, and he is the only one among the four who is not impressed by Luo Chuan. It was Du Ruyong, Baitong Pi's general who was heading north this time.
The last one, with his face full of pits and scars, and that ferocious look left Luochuan fresh in his memory, was none other than the current Chunyang City guard, He Ruoxiong.
Luo Chuan first stepped forward very naturally, raised his head, clenched his fist and knocked on Chen Shaoxiong's breastplate, "I heard that my brother had nothing to do some time ago, so he had a spar with an ANBU master who was on official business in Tongcang City. , do you feel there is an opportunity for a breakthrough?"
Chen Shaoxiong smiled apologetically and said, "No."
Luo Chuan knocked hard on his breastplate again and said, "The ANBU people have already filed a complaint with me. I also have something to do. What can I do if I delay my affairs?" Seeing Chen Shaoxiong's honest nod, he said again , "You do have the energy to do this kind of thing, maybe your injuries are healed right?"
Chen Shaoxiong nodded, "It's all healed."
"That's good
"," Luo Chuan said, "This next battle will undoubtedly be dangerous. You must remember what I said to you!"
Chen Shaoxiong nodded again, "Yes."
Luo Chuan walked down again, and Zhang Zifeng, the assistant general, unconsciously straightened his waist straighter and straighter, which made Luo Chuan smile and ask, "How are General Lu and his wife doing lately?"
"As far as I'm concerned, Lord Prefect," Zhang Zifeng said sternly, "General Lu and his wife are doing well lately."
Luo Chuan waited and saw Zhang Zifeng comparing each other, but since you are indeed similar, I will tell you again what I gave to General Chen Pi," he saw Zhang Zifeng looking at it seriously, and then said slowly, "You guys He is a general of an army and cannot show off the courage of one man."
Zhang Zifeng gave a military salute with a bang and said, "General, I obey your order!"
Luo Chuan reached out and patted Zhang Zifeng's arm, then looked at Du Ruyong.
