After Di Qing's army left, Du Zhongxiao mainly composed of Yang Ting's subordinates, cooperated with some light cannons and shotguns to form a light unit of 3,000 people. Leaded by Yang Ting, he headed south to Jinghu South Road, from there to Shaozhou. When he arrived at Guangnan East Road, he was commanded by Yang Ting on the front line.

At the station, Du Zhongxiao sent Yang Qi to the car and said to him: "Master, we have been on the West Road in Jingxi for several years and brought such a soldier out. If we can fight or not, it depends on this battle. After you lead Guangdong, you should advance lightly and drag down Nong Zhigao's soldiers. If you delay it for a long time, you will lead the troops to support him in a month or two, and then destroy him and make contributions to the country. With the foundation for victory, the army we trained will be truly achieved."

Yang Ting said: "I can't help but just be at ease. As long as that guy dares to fight with me because of his army, I will hold him back. Where can the barbarians have any decent military weapons? They have never been disciplined. When they meet our army, even if there is no artillery, they can win by relying on musket soldiers. I heard that guy has been attacking Guangzhou City for a long time, turned to the north, conquered prefectures and counties, and also took women with him, having fun all the way, and there is no way to fight!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "The chief warned with the barbarians many times, and I know everything very well, so I won't go into details. I repeatedly reminded me that the most important thing is not to win a few battles, but to delay the main force of Nong Zhigao in Guangdong and wait for our army to support."

Yang Ting nodded: "I understand. As long as Nong Zhigao is not as good as Wuzhou, he will be able to fight after the follow-up soldiers. I remember."

Wuzhou is an important node in Yujiang. Once you pass there, you enter Guangxi Road. Geographically, Guizhou and Yongzhou should be centered. The army in Guangdong is difficult to get support, and transportation is not convenient, so the big battle can only be left to Di Qing.

The Yu River is the Xijiang River of the Pearl River. At this time, it is divided into left and right rivers, Yujiang, Xunjiang and Xijiang sections, connecting Guangnan East and West Road. Nong Zhigao broke through Hengshanzhai and quickly broke Yongzhou. In one or two months, it was the waterway. The battle between Guangdong and Guangxi revolved around this river and its tributaries. Guangzhou was in the lower reaches and Yongzhou was in the upper reaches. It was indeed the marching route of Nong Zhigao. Guizhou did not belong to the Yujiang water system, avoiding Nong Zhigao's military front. The watershed between the two states was the natural dangerous Kunlun Pass.

Du Zhongxiao is already very familiar with the geography of that area and has deduced it on paper many times. If he joins the war, gathers wherever he enters, and chooses wherever he chooses as the battlefield, there are plans. Unfortunately, he has been struggling for many good things, and he has been unable to settle the matter of going to war for the general.

Watching the train drive away, Shisanlang said, "It's a pity that Yang Qian only brought three thousand soldiers and was light soldiers. We are all in no chance."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Although Nong Zhigao is not worthy, it is also possible for three thousand soldiers to suppress the pacification. In a few months, he traveled across two groups and destroyed dozens of states. How can he underestimate his strength? A few days ago, the Privy Council estimated that Nong Zhigao had at least tens of thousands of people under his command, and it was possible to have more than 100,000 people under his command. Of course, they were barbaric bandit habits and how many people under their command were, I was afraid Nong Zhigao would not know. The most important thing is that although the thieves did not break through Guangzhou, they were lingering in that area for nearly two months. The surrounding food must have been plundered, enough to support them to continue to roam."

Shisanlang nodded: "That's true. The commander can keep most of the thieves in Guangdong. When our army arrives, it will be amazing. If it is placed in Guangxi, I am afraid that it will not make any military achievements. Taiwei Di is really capable. The 'Zhang Tiemai', when he left, he was competing with me, regardless of the top and bottom, and he was good at it!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "I praise you for your good skills. Could you praise yourself? Zhang Yu is a powerful general in the northwest. He has been with Taiwei Di for more than ten years and has made many military achievements! Their troops have always been known for their bravery. The first brave one is Taiwei Di, and the second one is Zhang Yu. He is usually killed in the formation and seized horses. The other two Jia Kui and Sun Jie, seeing that they don't talk much, are all famous generals!"

Shisanlang said: "That's true. It's because we are in remote Suizhou. We have seen fewer heroes and less knowledge. In the past, Zhang Dujian, who was in the Volcanic Army, was unparalleled in the riding and shooting. I think this Jia Kui is not inferior to him."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Of course. Jia Kui was born in a humble family and his ancestors had several generations of Bai Ding. He joined the army. Today's official position was made by himself with one sword and a gun. How could he be a simple person? Remember, the generals who fought against the imperial guards were very comparable to those of us. These people are different from our Tianxiang Army. Many of the military commanders are average in martial arts, and they rely on their ability to make plans and make good calculations. The only people in the army who can compete with you are Yang Wenguang, Zhao Zi, Dou Shunqing, and how could the elite generals of the imperial guards be like this?"

Jia Kui was born at the bottom and his family was not in good condition. His grandfather was named Jia Gui. When he heard this name, Du Zhongxiao always appeared as a villain in a TV series he watched in his previous life, and felt that he would definitely not have enough food. His father Jia Xi died early and his mother remarried. Jia Kui joined the army and made meritorious and promoted to wealth. After he gave his stepfather a lot of money, he took his mother to his home to support him. He thought there was no father-son relationship with his stepfather. In this era, it was common for women to remarry, which was not even rarer than Du Zhongxiao's previous life. Fan Zhongyan's mother was like this, Du Yan's mother, and Jia Kui was like this. As for Du Zhongxiao who once believed that remarrying in ancient China would be discriminated against, now it seems that it must be the cause of the post-Song Dynasty.

Listening to Du Zhongxiao's words, Shisanlang looked at Du Zhongxiao and smiled and said, "It's just like this to the officials themselves. It's just the same as the generals who are promoted to the army. Judging from Yao Shouxin, Wenwen is weak like a scholar. Although he actually has the strength and can't get close to him for a few people, others just think he is a scholar."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Who is not like me except Taiwei Di? No one of the general ministers who are in charge of fighting!"

When Shisanlang heard this, he just smiled and shook his head, and didn't say anything. He hadn't been with Du Zhongxiao for many years, and believed in Du Zhongxiao without doubt. As a person, Shisanlang might just join the army and follow Di Qing to the south to fight.

After talking for a while, Du Zhongxiao said, "It is not easy for everyone to gather in Xiangzhou today. We will cross the river and find a place to eat happily in Fancheng. We will stop drunk after we have a drunkenness! Since the drill, the army has its own stations and is preparing to travel far, and we have not reunited for many days."

Shisanlang, Yao Shouxin, Yang Wenguang, Zhao Zi and others all applauded and arrived at the ferry together and took a boat to the Han River.

Yang Ting's three thousand men were considered vanguards, and the ones who followed the army were low-level officers. These senior generals did not accompany them.

After several years of development, Fancheng is no longer the original town, and it is extremely prosperous at this time. With the railway station and Hanshui Wharf as the center, countless shops gathered. Recently, Xiangzhou reported that it was preparing to upgrade Fancheng Town to a county and manage it with Xiangyang County in the south. In addition to the lack of city walls, it has indeed exceeded the size of the town, and many prefectures and cities are not as lively as here. The scale of commercial tax has reached the level of Shangzhou.

When they arrived in Fancheng Town, Shisanlang said: "Not far ahead, there is a restaurant next to the pier. It is not like a restaurant in other places, but a piece of open space by the river. The dishes taste very good. They are close to the river, and they have fresh live fish every day. Grilled fish is the most pleasing to my taste. It is better to go there, which is less restrictive than the restaurant and is cheaper."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Don't worry, several senior generals in the army are having a meal. Can't the minister's money be used? As long as the taste is good, the price is small!"

Everyone shouted ok, and Zhao Zi ordered his followers to go to the shopping mall on the side to buy a few bottles of good wine. Anyway, the minister paid for the money and did not drink the wine from the restaurant.

Several people arrived at the restaurant that Shisanlang said and chose a seat and ordered dishes one after another. As long as they liked the taste, they chose expensive ones. They were particularly generous with money to eat, and they were not as good as treating guests by themselves, but they had to be petty.

Du Zhongxiao was not interested in grilled fish here. There was no chili at this time, and when roasted, he always felt that the fish in the river and lake were only steamed with the most delicious ones.
