Xue Guang had no problem, so he could only take the minority of the two powers and exaggerate the deaths of the army, covering up the past when he was empty-handed.

This also caused a bad result, which was that many people were afraid to come to Linlu County to serve. The officials were furious and sent a military supervisor to not only supervise themselves, but also to allocate their military power. This guy also served as the commander of the Zhangde Army, that is, to separate his troops from his own army.

He is in trouble now, so he dare not fight against Gao Chong anymore, but it does not mean that he will not give Gao Chong any more trouble.

This guy was very distressed when he came, claiming that he had been hit by the enemy's trick during the bandit suppression process, and how he lost his troops and generals. In short, even if he had all the organization, there was no one.

Although Gao Chong was in charge of an army and had five infantry battalions under his command, the total number of personnel was less than 1,000, and they were all old, weak and disabled soldiers.

Gao Chong was prepared for this and could buy it, but he asked for a lot of money from Xue Guang. Xiangzhou is now homeless refugees, so there are not many people who need it?

Gao Chong took Yue Fei and others to the military camp, and frowned when he saw these soldiers. These guys were all bony and in disheveled clothes, and the weapons in their hands were all kinds of, even the servants of the landlords were more elite than them.

Yue Fei and Liu Ziyi both came from the Western Army. When they saw these people, they frowned. Is this still a soldier? Are they really soldiers from the Song Dynasty?

"Where is your commander? Let them come out to see me!" Gao Chong rushed into the military camp on his horse and shouted loudly.

These soldiers did not know who the person in front of them was? But judging by their extraordinary demeanor, no one dared to offend them.

"This is the new army supervisor and commander. Let the commanders of each battalion come to pay their respects."

"Master Commander?" These people saw the military cards in Liu Ziyi's hand and dared not doubt it anymore. They all knelt down one by one, but some went to invite several commanders.

Gao Chong and others came straight to the central army tent. After a while, the two commanders ran over in disheveled clothes.

"See Lord Commander." The two of them knelt down with a thud and saluted quickly.

"What are your names?" Gao Chong felt very disgusted as he smelled their alcohol.

The two of them kept complaining, who knew that you would be surprised by a sudden attack! Why are we so unlucky?

"Mu Hong, the lower official!" "Mu Hong, the lower official, Rongchui!" The two reported their names, lowered their heads and said nothing.

"There are five commanders in total, where are the three of them?"

"Uh--" the two were stunned and said, "Sir, there are five commanders in total, two of whom have sacrificed their lives in the battle, and one of them has not returned after going to Xiangzhou."

"Hmph, you dare to leave your post without permission. You two go to Xiangzhou and catch him back."

"Sir, this Commander Hao is the cousin of the former commander. The commander died. He has been dealing with the funeral at home, so he lives in Xiangzhou and has not come back."

"Oh, so that's the case, OK! Then don't disturb them. I'll go to pay homage to the deceased Commander Hao tomorrow. Please tell me that our first march is not a tragic man, but a warrior in the wing army. How could this be the case?"

Mu Hong and Rongchui blushed when they heard this and said, "Sir, I am really ashamed to speak. Although our army is called first, we are actually responsible for the task of cutting the way through mountains and building bridges through water. They are all old and weak, and there are serious shortages of personnel. This time, they were ambushed by the enemy and almost wiped out the entire army. Even the commander was killed.

Fortunately, Lord Hao Guang was brave enough to take back our military flag, which was averted the fate of being cancelled by the establishment. However, after we returned, there were almost no people left. Lord Hao Guang found Lord Xue Guang and finally came to such old and weak soldiers, which was considered to have put on the airs."

"Hmph! What's the use of me asking for these people? Tomorrow you two will identify these people. Those who can fight will be ranked in the combat soldiers sequence, and those who cannot fight will be reduced to the remaining soldiers. Fifth brother, Cao Ning, don't do anything, you two will start recruiting soldiers tomorrow!

Tell them that I will take care of the military pay and pay it on time, and there will be a lot of meals a day. I only want elite soldiers, elite soldiers who can fight!"

"Yes!" Yue Fei and Cao Ningteng stood up, their eyes shining brightly, full of desire to fight.

"Ziyi, thank you for your hard work tomorrow, and then serve as my record officer and Mu Hong. Rongchui will make a good calculation of our family. All the money, except military pay, is exchanged for food, and we are going to set off to Linlu County."

"Don't worry, Shaojun, I will complete the task." Liu Ziyi bowed and replied. Gao Chong made them all retreat.

The next day, Yue Fei and Cao Ning went to recruit soldiers and horses, Mu Hong and Liu Ziyi went to count the property in the army, and Gao Xue, led by Rong Chui, took Gao Baobao and Gao Hu to Xiangzhou together.

After Commander Hao passed away, only a new widow's wife was left in the family with two children. Hao Guang had been helping with the funeral.

Although Commander Hao has been buried, his wife and children are still filial to him at home every day.

"Bang bang bang!" The knock on the door, and the servant creaked and opened the door, looking at Gao Chong and the others, "Who are you looking for? Our Lord Hao is no longer here. It is really not suitable for meeting outsiders in this situation at home."

Rong Chui stepped forward and said, "Old man, I am Rong Chui, the commander under Lord Hao. This is our trusted commander. I will pay my respects. Please report it to me!"

"Oh, oh, it turns out that he is the commander. Please come in quickly, I'll tell my wife."

Not long after, footsteps sounded inside, and a 6-foot-tall man Ang Zang came out. When he saw Gao Chong, he knelt down and said, "I will follow Hao Guang to the commander."

"Well, get up! I just took office yesterday. I just learned about Lord Hao's affairs. Today I came to pay my respects. I wonder if it's convenient?"

"There is nothing inconvenient, please ask the commander!" Hao Guang led them to the front of the spiritual platform, Gao Chong presented his worship, and then burned incense and worshipped the spirit of Commander Hao.

Commander Hao's widow and a pair of children stepped forward to return the gift. Gao Chong said some words of condolences, and then turned around and came out. Hao Guang gave him a gift from behind.

"Hao Guang, how are the things at home arranged? I am the commander of the first marching army, or the magistrate of Linlu County. The official asked me to take charge of Linlu County, so I can't delay this moment. I'm going to leave tomorrow. I don't know if you can set off together."

Hao Guang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my brother's funeral has been almost done. My sister-in-law and I bid farewell today and return to the team tomorrow morning. I must go back to Linlu County! My brother's revenge must be avenged!"

"It's so good. We'll set off at the time tomorrow. I hope you can return to the team on time!"

"Yes! Don't worry, sir, I will never miss it!"

Gao Chong and others returned to the camp. Liu Ziyi and Mu Hong had already calculated the money and grain in the generals. The remaining amount of the entire pioneer army was only a hundred stalemate, and there was almost no grain.

Gao Chong asked Liu Ziyi to meet Han Xiaozhou and asked him to help him exchange for more than a thousand stones of food and grass.

Soon Yue Fei and Cao Ning also completed today's recruitment work, recruiting more than 1,500 young and strong men, and there were 500 people in the army that could be used. Their army was fully equipped.

Although the combat effectiveness of this army is worrying, because they are anxious to go to Linlu County, they don’t care about so much and can only train while marching.

Without saying a word, Gao Chong first gave everyone half a month's military salary, and then ordered people to make rice, asking everyone to open their stomachs and have a meal.

These victims hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, and were all grateful. Now even if they drove them away, they wouldn't leave.

The next day, Hao Guang returned to the team, Gao Chong ordered the four men, Yue Fei, Cao Ning, Hao Guang and Rong Chui, to lead two thousand young and strong soldiers as the main combat soldiers. Mu Hong led 500 elderly and weak soldiers as auxiliary soldiers.

Liu Ziyi joined the army in order to record the army, Gao Baobao, Gao Hu and Wang Heng followed him straight to Linlu County for the guards.

There are more than 100 miles from Daolinlu County. They marched and trained. On the third day, they arrived outside Linlu County.

Linlu County is a Shangxian County, located at the junction of Hebei East and West Roads and Hedong Roads. It has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times. Therefore, the city walls here are very tall and are under strict vigilance. If you really want to break through it, it will be really not easy.

Their army came to the city, and the people on it had become frightened birds. They quickly closed the city gate and even pulled up the suspension bridge.

Mu Hong urged him to come forward and said, "Listen, the people above, we are the Xiang army under the new commander of the Gao County Magistrate and the commander of the Zhangde Army. We escort the Gao County Magistrate to take office and quickly open the city gate."

The people in the city looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. Soon the crowd was in chaos, and two people came up from behind. One of them shouted loudly: "Is Jia Hu, the head of Linlu County, Jia Hu. Is that general below?"

"Mu Hong, the commander of the Fifth Battalion under the Zhangde Army, has the imperial edict of the official family and the county magistrate's seal. You and others quickly open the city gate!"

Seeing that it was not a fake, Jia Hu said to the person next to him: "Xiao Aishi, what should I do?"

Xiao Aisi smiled bitterly and said, "Jia Dutou, I don't think they look fake. And they are fake. With the hundreds of yamen runners in your hands, we can't hold on! Let's open the door quickly!"

Jia Hu nodded repeatedly and said, "Xiao Ai Si is right, come on! Open the city gate."

The yamen runners agreed and went down to Kaicheng. Xiao Aisi said, "Jia Dutou, Shangguan has arrived, let's go and greet him quickly!"

As they said that, the two ran down the city tower and welcomed each other at the door.

When Gao Chong saw the city gate open, he ordered and the army began to enter the city one after another.

"The villain Lin Lu County is in charge of the Si Xiao Yun. (The villain Lin Lu County Dutou Jia Hu.) See the county magistrate." When the two saw the soldiers coming with Gao Chong, they quickly bowed and bowed.
Chapter completed!
