There were about a mile away from Longyou County. The long team stopped. A checkpoint blocked the passage. An officer and more than a dozen soldiers stood in the middle of the road with swords and guns, signaling the team to stop.

Old Master Liu lifted the curtain, jumped down from the carriage, and looked up at Longyou County, which was close to the close. The broken county town was filled with gaps, and charred marks were everywhere. On the gaps, they were blocked by sandbags piled up. On the top of the city, the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were waiting for battle. After all, they were the most elite troops of Yue. Even though they knew there was no danger here, they still did the work they should do.

He turned around, his face full of humble smiles, reached out and respectfully helped someone out.

This person is naturally the chief assistant of Dayue, Zhang Ning and Zhang Zuoxiong.

Zhang Ning's face was still a little pale, but his expression was very arrogant at this moment. He got off the carriage, walked slowly over with his hands on his back.

"Zhang Xiang!" The captain officer guarding the middle of the road cried out in surprise. The Hu Ben Army was always stationed in Yuejing, and the officers were very familiar with the ministers in the court, not to mention that this is a hot left prime minister in power in recent years?

Yes! Zhang Ning nodded.

"Why are you here, Zhang Xiang?" The lieutenant quickly saluted and asked a soldier beside him to go to the city to report.

Zhang Ning did not answer immediately, but raised his head and looked at the soldiers on the cityside in the distance, "It seems that they are all very dedicated, and it is not in vain that His Majesty gives you such high treatment, good, good."

The captain officer smiled and said, "Zhang Xiang praised, Hu Ben is the personal army of the emperor. No matter where he is or what he does, he dare not neglect at all."

"I'm tired of staying in the Zhongping Army, so I went to the front line to take a look." Zhang Ning said, stepping forward, and the officers following him quickly waved their hands to signal the soldiers to move out the obstacles in the road. "What's going on in the past two days? Hu Ben is the pride of our Dayue and the soul of the war. Why is it so hard to fight Luo Yishui? The daily consumption has caused me a headache. I hope this is the last time I will send supplies to the front line. Once the battle starts, the money will flow out, and the treasury can't bear it."

"According to the situation, the last general doesn't know very well, but he also heard it's almost done." The captain said with a smile, but he didn't agree. Luo Yishui is a real general. Even in the Hu Ben army, there are many admirers. The combat effectiveness of the border army is of course worse than that of Hu Ben, but under Luo Yishui's command, it is not so easy to fight? Zuo Xiang is a literati, so he naturally doesn't understand the joints here.

Of course, this can only be said in my heart, and I will never dare to say it, even if I look, I cannot show any clues.

He accompanied Zhang Ning slowly, and the convoy behind naturally followed slowly. When the group of people approached the city gate, the city gate was already wide open, and a general of the Tiger Army brought a large number of officers to greet him in a hurry.

"I've met the left prime minister!" A group of officers suddenly clasped their fists and bowed.

"Well, you're so energetic, good, good." Zhang Ning Zhanyan smiled and turned around and pointed to the long carriage behind him. "This time, I specially prepared a batch of celebration wine among the supplies. You can leave more for yourself. The traitor will be finished soon. The Hu Ben Army has made an indelible contribution."

"Thank you, Zuo Prime Minister!" The general was overjoyed. There were not many people who were in the army who were not good at drinking, but the military orders were strictly prohibited. Under normal circumstances, they would never dare to drink wine. But with the words of Zuo Prime Minister, this would be nothing. Although Zhang Xiang had a son who was not angry, he himself was quite good. At least after he came to power, the salary of the Hu Ben Army increased by 30%.

"How many people do we have in Longyou now?" Accompanied by the generals, the group slowly entered the city, with the left blind date. With so many generals accompanying each other, the corresponding inspection at the city gate was naturally useless. All the soldiers were looking at the left prime minister of Dayue, and they didn't notice that this time, the team that came to deliver supplies, from officers to civilians, did not look familiar. "By the way, your name is Cao Xin, I should have seen you!"

Cao Xin was overjoyed when he was called out by the real left prime minister. In the Hu Ben Army, he was just an ordinary general and was not valued by the commander Kang Qiao, otherwise he would not have left him behind to take care of the logistics. He really didn't expect that Zhang Ning, who was in power, would actually recognize himself. If he could climb this high branch, his future in the Hu Ben Army would be limitless. As soon as he thought of this, he became more attentive.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, there are now 3,000 Tiger Ben Army in Longyou County, which are responsible for protection and transporting logistics supplies to the front line. Of course, there are also wounded soldiers here, and the injured soldiers in the front will be sent here to gather. There are about 10,000 people like this."

Old Master Liu, who was behind Zhang Ning, looked at Zhang Ning's side face and felt a little impressed. Just an ordinary military general, Zhang Ning could even name him casually. It is not unreasonable that this person can make a prosperous career in Yue Kingdom!

"Ten thousand people?" Zhang Ning asked in surprise: "There are so many casualties?"

Cao Xin looked relaxed: "Don't be surprised by the Zuo Prime Minister. In fact, most of them are county soldiers, and there are less than 5,000 real soldiers from the Tiger Army."

"Can you take up half of it, how can you not be surprised?" Zhang Ning shook his head and said.

"Lord Zuo Prime Minister doesn't know that if we count the number of deaths on the front line, our casualties are actually about 30,000. Under Luo Yishui's command, the border army resisted tenaciously. However, the Hu Ben Army suffered more injuries and fewer deaths, and they are basically all county soldiers. Luo Yishui's side is not easy. He has only 40,000 to 50,000 people left, and it is not enough to worry. His morale is low and his food, grass and weapons are in a hurry. I guess he will use up all arrows in two days. At that time, it will be easy to fight. Without these long-range killing weapons, close combat, the border army is far from an opponent of the Hu Ben Army."

"It makes sense too!" Zhang Ning nodded, but thought in his heart that there would be a chance to get close to the fight.

While talking, everyone had already entered the hall. Zhang Ning went to the back of the big case in the middle. He looked at the dozen generals who were qualified to enter the hall with Cao Xin. Looking at the gentle and pleasing smiles, he felt a tragic feeling in his heart. It’s not that I don’t give you a way to live, but I am almost out of my way to live.

The monk dressed as Zhang Ning's guard, Yu Xiu'e and other masters from Canglang Camp followed into the hall and saw Zhang Ning sitting in the middle. The monk closed the door of the hall with a smile.

When the monk closed the door, Zhang Ning's face turned pale even more.

"Sir Zuo Xiang, your face looks very bad. Are you uncomfortable?" Cao Xin asked.

Zhang Ning didn't say anything, but Old Master Liu stood in front of Zhang Ning with a big thorn, looked at everyone, and said, "Zhang Xiang felt uncomfortable, so I will take charge of the next thing."

Cao Xinyi was stunned. Are the guards of the left prime minister so unruly?

"What's the matter? Please let me make it clear." The old guy in front of me was close to Zuo Xiang. He must be a capable person around Zuo Xiang. However, I only knew that there was Tao Ye before, but this old man had never seen him.

Old Master Liu slowly rolled up his sleeves and said, "On behalf of Zhang Xiang, I announce that all of you are sentenced to death for not adhering to military discipline and being cowardly in the enemy."

Cao Xin opened his mouth wide and looked at the old man inexplicably. Before he could figure out the key points here, Old Master Liu had already grabbed it with one claw.

The two were too close, one deliberately attacked, the other was unprepared, the other was a level 9 master, and the other was only in the middle of the level 8. Old Master Liu easily grabbed Cao Xin's head and exerted force on his hand. Cao Xin screamed, and his helmet and head were all sunken, and he could not die any more.

He never understood until his death. Lord Zuo Xiang turned against him no matter how he said he turned against him.

As soon as Mr. Liu took action, Yu Xiu'e shouted with a sweet voice, and the big knife in her hand had already waved it. Yu Xiu'e was the second only to Mr. Liu in the lobby. She had reached the threshold of level 9. With the help of the extremely fierce monk and dozens of other martial arts experts, the dozens of tiger officers in the lobby had no room for resistance at all, and they were killed on the spot like they cut melons and vegetables. In the clean hall just now, corpses were buried all over the ground and blood was splattered everywhere.

Zhang Ning closed his eyes and his body trembled slightly.

"Send a signal to the wild dog and start the action." Old Master Liu laughed and walked out, and monk Yu Xiu'e and others followed closely, leaving two people to guard Zhang Ning. In fact, when Zhang Ning led them into Longyou County, he had no way out. He had no other choice except to do his best to do business for the Taiping Army, hoping to save the entire clan's life in the future.

While walking, the monk took out a bamboo tube from his arms and threw it into the air. The bamboo tube flew into the air with a sharp whistle, bursting with a bang, radiating out a spark in the sky.

As the sky was rising, the soldiers who were still lazy in escorting supplies suddenly became like tigers going down the mountain. The swords and guns in their hands were greeted at the soldiers beside the Hu Ben Army beside them without hesitation. The civilians who were carrying the supplies on the carriage to the warehouse were trying to magic to pull out big knives from the bottom of the carriage, or simply from the materials transported on their carriage, and crossbows began to attack the surrounding Hu Ben Army.

Longyou County was in chaos in an instant, and the Hu Ben Army was stunned by this sudden blow. The key is that at this time, people could not find a sufficiently high-level officer.

Of course they could not find it, because these officers had already turned into corpses at this moment, lying in the bloody hall.

Further away from Longyou County, Chen Jialuo saw the sparks rising into the sky, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Tiger Camp, advance, and occupy Longyou County."
