The next day, when Hou Dayong got up, Chunlan was still sleeping. Hou Dayong's shorts were all in Fu Ying's main courtyard. Seeing that Chunlan was sleeping soundly, she did not wake her up and went out with her hands and feet. When she went out, her legs were a little weak, "It was a crazy night last night."

When Hou Dayong returned to the main courtyard, Fu Ying had already gotten up, took out Hou Dayong's shorts and placed them neatly at the head of the bed.

Although the weather in March is still cold, it is no longer as harsh as winter. Fu Ying is wearing a thicker jacket, a long white silk dress with a crown and a haircut and a starry eyebrow. Although she has not applied any makeup, she has a unique sense of beauty and elegance.

Hou Dayong picked up the water cup, rinsed his mouth first, and then drank a bowl of warm and cool boiled water, and then prepared to change into short clothes. As soon as he took off his long clothes, Fu Ying's eyes were sharp. Seeing Hou Dayong's back, he saw several wounds on Hou Dayong's back. Although it was not deep, it was very long and very eye-catching. Fu Ying hurriedly approached and said, "Mr., why did your back hurt?" After Fu Ying reminded him, Hou Dayong felt his back burning. When he touched his back, he was also startled and said, "It's okay." Fu Ying looked at the wound carefully and found that it was scratched by his fingernails. He immediately reacted. Thinking that his own had scratched Hou Dayong, he couldn't help but look shy.

After Hou Dayong finished his exercise, he drank a bowl of refreshing vegetable porridge, a glass of milk, and two eggs, and then came to the Hei Diao Military Camp in the city.

The three thousand troops and horses that went on the expedition this time, including one thousand Black Diao Army, one thousand Western Army and one thousand Eastern Army. Hou Dayong named the Expeditionary Army the Black Diao Army, and the military flag was still the Black Diao Army's flag. In addition to Hou Dayong, among the generals who went on the expedition were Shi Hu, Kuang Cao, Guo Jiong and He Wulang, Zhengzhou generals included Wang Jiang, Chen Renyi and others, and Shan Zongyuan stayed in Zhengzhou. The logistics support of the Black Diao Army this time was extremely important. Meng Shu wanted to run a caravan and couldn't get rid of it. Hou Dayong transferred the smart money Xiangnan to the military, and also served as the military officer to replace Meng Shu's position. After Xiang Dongyang, the former commander of the Western Army, was beaten, he felt bored and said he had returned to Daliang.

Hou Dayong divided the new Hei Diao Army into the left, middle and right three armies, the left army was the original East Army, the central army was the original Black Eagle Army, and the right army was the Western Army. Hou Dayong was the vanguard envoy, Shi Hu was the vanguard envoy, the left army was Kuang Cao, Chen Renyi was the deputy, the central army was Guo Jiong, the right army was He Wulang, Wang Jiang was the deputy, and Qian Xiangnan was the military counselor and military officer. Hou Dayong worked hard to establish such a leadership system, and how to use it.

The generals of the Black Eagle Army and the generals of the Zhengzhou Army repeatedly considered that during the Battle of Bagongyuan, the main force of the Right Army's infantry surrendered at the last minute, which left a deep impression on Hou Dayong. Hou Dayong had never commanded the generals of the Zhengzhou Army to participate in the actual combat, and was really worried that the generals of the Zhengzhou Army would lead the army independently. If there were any mistakes, the three armies would be exhausted. Therefore, during this expedition, the generals of the Black Eagle Army were all appointed as the chief officers of each army, and the generals of the Zhengzhou Army were appointed as the deputy.

All the troops to go out to the expedition gathered in the Western Army barracks. After the training team and Songshan Academy, the original Zhengzhou Army's orders were all unified with the Black Eagle Army, and the troops were running in quickly. The Black Eagle Army's equipment was better than the other two armies, and it had many battles and had extremely rich practical experience. The Black Eagle Army's overall combat power was far superior to the other two armies.

After the troops were assembled, Hou Dayong convened the first military meeting before the war, and all officers above the lieutenant attended the meeting. After all the lieutenants arrived, Hou Dayong first read out Chai Rong's edict and explained the strategic intentions of the battle. Secondly, he announced the formation of the expeditionary army and the appointment of the chief generals and deputy generals of each army.

After Hou Dayong announced the appointment, he saw that the expressions of the Zhengzhou generals' facial expressions were a little stiff, and he knew that he was dissatisfied.

Hou Dayong looked at the generals with a serious expression and majestic look, saying, "Your Majesty issued an edict to us as the vanguard and capture the four states of Qin, Cheng, Jie and Feng. As soldiers, this is the greatest honor. We will serve our country loyally and thank Your Majesty for your love."

"The Expeditionary Force is the new Black Eagle Army. From today on, there is no difference between Zhengzhou Army and Black Eagle Army. Some people may think that I prefer the generals who have followed me. This is true, because I don't know how the generals of the Zhengzhou Army perform on the battlefield. This time, you are wronged as deputys. If you have made contributions in this battle, I will treat you equally."

When Hou Dayong said this, he looked around and saw Chen Renyi showing dissatisfaction, and said, "Person Chen, do you have something to say."

Chen Renyi is upright and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has made many achievements. He is a man who relies on his ability to make a living. He stood up and said, "The Zhengzhou Army has also experienced many battle formations. Who among them did not crawl out of the dead? The Black Eagle Army has suffered from wars, and the Zhengzhou Army is not a coward."

Chen Renyi has a beard, tall and strong, and dark skin. He is a typical soldier. Since Hou Dayong served as the defensive envoy, he has conducted secret investigations on the generals in his hands. He knows that Chen Renyi is sincere, loyal and brave, upright, and loves soldiers like his sons. He is a general who can be used as a reusable general. However, without actual combat, Hou Dayong still asked him to be his deputy first.

At this time, Chen Renyi raised his objection, and Hou Dayong took the opportunity to sound the alarm for the Zhengzhou army and said, "I will set a rule here. All the generals have something to say in person. They are not allowed to talk about this at the meeting. If they find out, they will not forgive them. In addition, the matters that have been agreed upon must be implemented unconditionally, and they will never be allowed to disobey the situation."

"It doesn't matter if the Chief Chen Wei is not convinced. When everyone arrives at the battlefield and sees Zhenzhang, I will talk about the next word. I will speak here first. When I go to the battlefield, if anyone winces, disobeys orders, pretends to be a grandson, and is a coward, don't blame me, Hou Dayong, for turning against others. Also, the appointment announced today is the final decision and cannot be changed. It is a mule or a horse. You will know when you pull it out. I will not discuss this issue anymore. I want to warn everyone that the top and the bottom will be united and that the gold will be cut off. If anyone fights in the nest, I will be the first to not tolerate him."

Kuang Cao stood up and said, "I joined the army at the age of sixteen and fought hundreds of times. Although I can't say that I kill people like numb, I have also drunk countless blood from my enemies." After saying that, he took off his armor and exposed his upper body. Kuang Cao had seven or eight scars, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and more were arrow wounds, especially one sword wounds, pulled straight from his shoulder to his abdomen, and looked very ferocious.

Chen Renyi looked at Kuang Cao's scar carefully and found that the scar was all on the chest and there was not a single piece behind him. After seeing it, Chen Renyi said: "Captain Kuang is all in front of him. It seems that fighting is a desperate person. Chen Renyi is willing to follow you and kill you happily."

Kuang Cao stretched out his hand, held Chen Renyi's hand, and said, "We two brothers, let the people of Shu know about the evil."

Hou Dayong clapped his hands and said, "It's all good. I'll be drunk with the generals today." All the generals agreed.

Then, Hou Dayong posted the topographic map sent by the Privy Council and discussed with the generals how to fight in the mountainous areas. Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, the soldiers came to report: "Xuan Wei envoy Xiang Xun has arrived."
