The next morning, it was dawn.

Xu Buling woke up from the floor and turned his head to look. Xiao Manzhi was lying in front of him, holding his arm. Even in his sleep, his little face still had an angry expression.

well……

Yesterday, the incident of "Zhi is currently committing the 4th incident" was discovered by Manzhi, and the consequences were not ordinary. Manzhi was so angry that he scratched and bit him. He barely coaxed him, but in the end he refused to let him go. He scolded Yuhe for falling asleep for half an evening.

Xu Buling looked at the two small tooth marks on his shoulders and felt helpless. Seeing that Manzhi had not woken up, he pulled his arms out of the two bulging balls, stood up gently, and wanted to go out to wash.

Zhu Manzhi, who had always been sleeping until the sun was noon, woke up immediately after she found that her arms were pulled away, frowned and stared at Xu Buling suspiciously.

Xu Buling was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "It's not that I went to find Xiaoning and Daning. The war was not decided, so I just took a break from my busy schedule. The soldiers of the Nanyang Mansion have been prepared and have to set off for Xiangyang."

Zhu Manzhi sat up and was depressed: "Mr. Xu, my martial arts skills are good, why can't I do it if they can follow me? Fortunately, I treat them as sisters and take turns stealing people. I really don't speak morally."

Xu Buling shook his head and sighed: "War is not a joke, there is no sight to swords and guns, if something goes wrong..."

Zhu Manzhi knew that his martial arts skills were useless, so she hummed and fell back, turning her back to Xu Buling, leaving him with the back of her head:

"I just dislike my bad martial arts skills. Hum... Anyway, I meet you first, and they can't be ahead of me even if they are close to the water."

"This is natural, come first and then come."

Xu Buling bent down and covered Zhu Manzhi's back, then slowly walked out of the door.

We are about to set off again, and this time the boat will follow the river. However, as the head coach, Xu Buling can't stay in the pile of makeup to command the soldiers to fight every day, and he still has to go to the military camp and marches with the soldiers.

After saying goodbye to the ladies one by one on the boat, Xu Buling led his horse down the stairs.

Seeing that it was about to part for many days, the girls on the boat were reluctant to leave. Xiao Qi and Song Yufu stood at the window on the second floor to watch, while Xiao Xianger and Lu Hongluan were sent to the deck. Cui Xiaowan stood on the terrace at the stern of the boat and said nothing, but she waved her hand, with an expression of "Come back quickly".

Just like before, the four-member master and apprentice team still followed Xu Buling. Zhongli Jiujiu was forced to jump into the river by Ning Yuhe's stupid teammate yesterday. She wanted to go to Xu Buling to complain at night, but was bullied by wearing a small bell and tail. At this time, she was a little dissatisfied and looked at Ning Yuhe from time to time.

Ning Yuhe and Ning Qingye were a little embarrassed. The two were strange and stood on the left and right sides separately, and their eyes did not touch each other. It seemed that they had not yet figured out their relationship.

Zhongli Chuchu accompanied Xu Buling out to buy medicinal materials yesterday. She was not sure about Zhongli Jiujiu's acting and the Ning family's master and apprentice. Seeing that the three of them had strange expressions, she said in confusion:

"What's wrong with you?"

The three of them were naturally not easy to answer. Nightingale knew it clearly, and held the little sparrow and said casually: "It's okay to get up too early and don't go to bed. The army is about to set off, let's go."

Xu Buling naturally didn't say much about this. After leading the horse to say goodbye to the girls watching on the boat, he went to the military camp not far away...

—

After visiting the daughter-in-law of the Louchuan, Xu Buling took the mansion soldiers to set out again, and the 30,000 Xiliang troops also returned from Guanzhong and continued to go south to suppress the rebellion.

General Tu Qianchu and Yang Zunyi have been in Xiangyang for more than half a month. Without Guan Hongye's blind command, the war would be much smoother. The Western Liang army was much stronger than the Chu army, and with the advantage of artillery, the attack on the city was as powerful as a bamboo shoot. Basically, they were chasing the Chu army general Qin Jing all the way.

Xu Buling is the chief commander of the rebels, but his current real identity is the "lord". There are not many opportunities to get into the battle personally. Even if he has the chance, his subordinates will not agree because it is unnecessary.

The greater role of the commander is to suppress the generals at all levels in the army and ensure that everyone can advance in the decided general direction, as well as logistics dispatch, communication with the court, etc., so that the front-line soldiers can have whatever they want and avoid worries. In terms of charging, there are so many powerful generals in the army, but there is really no shortage of a single command.

Xu Buling and his army had not arrived in Xiangyang yet, Tu Qianchu had already led the Xiliang army to break through Jingmen. When reinforcements arrived, the war behind them was even more powerful.

With the momentum of the Western Liang army and the military troops, from the end of June to the beginning of August, in just over a month, the Chu army retreated step by step, retreating from Jingmen and Jingzhou all the way out of Yueyang until it was squeezed into the Ezhou area on the Yangtze River, guarding the King of Chu's nest, and then pushing it to the King of Wei's territory.

Because of the overwhelming advantage of the Western Liang army, they could not even use strategies, and even push the Chu army to push the Chu army could not stop it. There was basically nothing to say about fighting with the Chu army; the big and small battles were all large and large armies that broke the city, and the Chu army collapsed, and then gathered the remaining soldiers and rolled the snowballs to continue to capture the next fortress. The Chu army was all the soldiers of the palace, and they served the people in their spare time in war. Under the deterrence of the Western Liang army, they had no intention of fighting. Often, they fled before they could meet in close combat, and almost no effective resistance was formed.

King Song Zhengping of Chu was too embarrassed. From the beginning, he was used as cannon fodder by the three kings in the east. He was also depressed at this time. Knowing that Chu could not be defended, he directly took the whole family across the river to Luzhou and handed over the troops out. The "Emperor Dongyue" Song Shaoying was in full command.

Dongyue has the Yangtze River as a natural danger, and Song Shaoying has obtained the border army of the Liaoxi Army, which is no worse than that of the Western Liang Army. He squats south of the Yangtze River and takes the stance of "grabbing the river and governing". The Western Liang Army has no choice but to the moment.

If you want to cross the river and fight to Jiangnan Ping, you can rely on infantry alone, but if you fight head-on with the Liaoxi Army, the casualties will be too expensive.

After Xu Buling learned about the situation, he sent a letter to King Su, asking the court to vigorously build gunships, and when the equipment is in place, he will fight the Battle of Crossing the River and quell the four kings in the east in one fell swoop. However, this may have to winter or even spring next year.

The marching and war affairs are numerous and boring. Xu Buling can rarely return to the boat, and it will take only ten days to take time to go back.

Ning Qingye and Ning Yuhe followed each other. Although they were still a little strange, Ning Qingye was in the army and did not get angry anymore. Every day when his personal soldiers stood guard, he tried not to let Xu Buling be distracted. Even when Ning Yuhe came to "relax" Xu Buling at night, he would consciously retreat without disturbing him.

When Zhongli Jiujiu saw this scene, she almost envied her. She wanted to grab Chuchu's ear and say, "Look at her apprentice, look at you..." Unfortunately, she could only think about these things in her heart. She was still timid on the surface and didn't even dare to speak loudly, and she felt aggrieved by the young wife.
