Chapter 31 Virtue as a Pioneer

Zuo Houde arrived the next day. The Central Army Office reported that he had made an announcement about his return and was preparing to take over his subsequent appointment. However, unexpectedly, the order of the Central Army Office told Zuo Houde that his appointment had not yet been made.

After Zuo Houde returned home, he was even more prepared and the war was about to begin!

Generally, the generals of other places will receive their appointments immediately after they come back, but Zuo Houde did not. He is afraid that he will really fight, so he is still preparing the corresponding officers and soldiers to fight. Most of them are on the list of battles, otherwise his appointments will not have not yet come out.

After Zuo Houde guessed, he no longer had any doubts and told his family the news. After all, he was about to go to war with the army, so he always had to make his family mentally prepared.

"Rong'er, I'm probably going to go to war with the army again this time." Zuo Houde looked at his wife's face and said gently.

"Then go, I have me at home, and I will take care of my parents and children, so there is no need to worry. But be careful on the battlefield, think about the family still having parents, children, and wives at home at any time." Huang Rong said. Over the years, Huang Rong has also accepted that his husband has changed from a doctor to a general who will fight on horseback. He also knows that the battlefield is where his husband shows his skills, so there is no longer any grudges. Instead, he comforted his husband and asked him to take care of himself on the battlefield.

"With this kind of wife, what else can the husband ask for?" Zuo Houde heard his wife's words and was moved and reached out to hug his wife.

After dinner, Zuo Houde had not yet arrived and told his parents about his guesses.

This time, my parents were quite calm. After all, they had been stationed in other places with their son for four years and accepted their son's identity. They just repeatedly told Zuo Houde to pay attention to safety and be careful on the battlefield.

His family was so reasonable that Zuo Houde had no worries and stayed with his family in the next few days.

On the third day, it was indeed the military order from the Central Army Office, and asked Zuo Houde to go to Nandaying to report that Zuo Houde had the first time to go to the military camp, and it was also Nandaying. At that time, Zuo Houde was still a military doctor. Unexpectedly, when Zuo Houde went to Nandaying again, he was already a general.

Zuo Houde immediately summoned the army, and this time it took a lot of time until noon, and it was not gathered.

Zuo Houde at home put on his armor, picked up his longbow, sharp sword, and gun, and was about to go out.

Then he heard his son's voice: "Dad, Dad, where are you going?" Zuo Yu rushed over and hugged Zuo Houde, who gently stroked his son's head.

"Yu'er, Daddy wants to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Yu'er will also go in the future. Only on the battlefield is my man's destination! Where is the place where heroes use their skills!" Zuo Houde said to his son.

Zuo Yu was still confused, but he still said loudly: "Dad, I will also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make contributions and be a hero!"

"Okay! It's worthy of being my son, Daddy is gone!"

...

In Nandaying, Zuo Houde led his troops to arrive.

After Zuo Houde gave his appointment letter to the guards outside, he led his troops into the military camp. Afterwards, he ordered his troops to rest on the spot, Zuo Houde rushed to the central army tent.

Seeing the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the central army's tent, Zuo Houde held his fists and saluted: "I am humble and Zuo Houde greeted General Pingxi."

This man is the main general of the Nandaying, and Zuo Houde is the deputy general of the Nandaying. This Nandaying has been expanded a lot in recent years. Currently, there are eight battalions plus logistics, with about 20,000 people. Therefore, the commander of the army has become the third-rank Pingxi General Zhang Dingchang. As for the previous chief general Fu Tianyou was promoted to the third-rank Pingnan General, but he was sent to Hanzhou to take charge.

"General Heroes don't have to be too polite. We will cooperate more in the future." Zhang Dingchang said with a smile.

"I must cooperate with the general with all my strength." Zuo Houde just thought it was Zhang Dingchang who gave him face and knew how to be sensible.

"Thank you, General Zuo. I will inform the general of the three camps under the command of the general." Zhang Dingchang next informed Zuo Houde of the three camps under Zuo Houde, and Zuo Houde left.

Afterwards, Zuo Houde rushed to his tent and ordered his subordinates to notify his subordinates to come.

Soon, three big men in armor arrived at Zuo Houde's military tent.

"Meet the general with a humble position." The three of them bowed their fists and said to Zuo Houde in unison.

Zuo Houde waved his hand and ordered: "No need to be polite. You must train your soldiers well and prepare for the next battle!"

"Highly responsibilities" the three of them said in unison again.

Afterwards, Zuo Houde asked them some questions about their subordinate camps, and then asked their own school captains about their life experiences, which was to get closer to them and bring them closer together.

Afterwards, Zuo Houde recruited a quarantine officer and asked him to arrange accommodation for his subordinates and other issues, and then sat in the big tent to rest.

On the second day, Zuo Houde inspected the situation of his three camps accompanied by several lieutenants. However, each camp was well-trained, and Zuo Houde was quite satisfied.

After staying in Nandaying for half a month, Zhang Dingchang ordered the army to set off, and the army headed south to Dingcheng.

Dingcheng is a majestic city in the southernmost part of Dayan, which is connected with the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Dingcheng can be regarded as an important town to attack the Ming Dynasty. Currently, 200,000 troops from Dayan gather here.

In the central army camp, a group of generals were discussing tactics at this time. Zuo Houde sat in the back row and kept silent. After all, Zuo Houde was really not good at this.

From time to time, we finally agreed on a result - to attack Haocheng first.

Then this time, General Li Anguo, the general of Zhennan, asked: "Break Haocheng first, who is willing to be the pioneer."

"The last general, General Zuo Houde, is willing to lead his soldiers to break through Haocheng!" Zuo Houde finally waited for the result of their discussion, so he immediately stepped forward and said.

"Okay! The pioneer Zuo Houde!" said Li Anguo.

After returning to his own military camp, Zuo Houde gathered his 6,000 soldiers from the third battalion to rush to Haocheng.

...

Ming Dynasty, Jiangling.

At this time, Han Tingzhi received news that the 200,000 troops of Dayan were gathered in Dingcheng, so he recruited his subordinates to discuss it.

"What are your opinions on the 200,000 troops of Dayan gathered in Dingcheng?" Han Tingzhi sat in his seat, preparing to listen to his subordinates' suggestions.

"Your Majesty, Da Yan is in danger of coming in a fierce manner. It is better to send the general of Zhenbei to lead 200,000 troops to support him."

Han Tingzhi was a little confused at this time and asked, "Dayan sent troops south, why did he attack our Ming Dynasty first? Is our border much more difficult than Daliang?"

"But the old minister didn't know that maybe there was a covenant in Dayan Daliang."

"Covenant?" Han Tingzhi was also stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, "Immediately send envoys to Dayan and Daliang, and tell Dayan that we can divide Daliang together, and tell Daliang that the lips are gone and the teeth are cold."
