Chapter 246 The two armies meet, see Zhou Lan again

Zhou Lan still looked heroic, even though she was covered in blood, it was hard to hide her heroic spirit.

At this time, Zhou Lan carefully took care of her warhorse. For a cavalryman, the warhorse was undoubtedly the most important partner on the battlefield.

Zhou Lan's warhorse was also carefully raised by her for many years, and the relationship between one person and one horse was very deep.

Recently, they went through life and death together, fighting desperately in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, making the already deep relationship even stronger.

Yang Mingzhi came to Zhou Lan, clasped his fists and saluted, "General!"

Zhou Lan wiped the blood on the horse's back, turned his head and glanced at Yang Mingzhi, and smiled: "I just received the military order from the camp. The Marquis asked us to move east and join the Eastern Army. You get ready. We will set off tomorrow morning!"

Although she had just experienced a battle, Zhou Lan did not think of stopping to rest.

It's not that she doesn't sympathize with the hard work of the soldiers, but that the logistics supply of Jianning Guard can provide the best conditions for the soldiers.

Unlike Yang Zhengshan who abandoned logistics and fought to support the war, Zhou Lan fought a little recklessly, but she never abandoned logistics, but maintained the greatest logistical support.

Behind the 8,000 reinforcement battalion were more than 10,000 civilians, and there were many soldiers and surplus soldiers from the guards among these more than 10,000 civilians.

The soldiers of the guards also had a certain combat effectiveness, while the surplus soldiers were in reserve.

A military household had one regular soldier and one surplus soldier. After the regular soldier joined the army, if he died in battle, the surplus soldier had to be immediately replaced.

Zhou Lan had been preparing for several years in Jianning Guard, and she had trained more than 8,000 reinforcement battalions. She had cleaned up Jianning Guard from top to bottom, and the number of soldiers had reached full capacity.

Therefore, the troops and manpower that Zhou Lan could deploy far exceeded Wang Bin.

With tens of thousands of civilians as logistical support, the soldiers of the reinforcement battalion did not need to care about other things at all, they only needed to be responsible for fighting, which could guarantee the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the greatest extent.

Yang Mingzhi didn't react for a while, "Eastern Army! Why do we have to join the Eastern Army?"

Zhou Lan smiled, without explanation, just said: "You can prepare, you will know when we pass!"

"Oh, then I will prepare!" Yang Mingzhi turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped suddenly as soon as he took a step.

"Eastern Army, General Wang Bin!"

He turned his head in astonishment and looked at Zhou Lan with astonishment and surprise.

"Hahaha~~" Zhou Lan was amused by his appearance, "Well, go!"

Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath and showed a bright smile on his face.

"Subordinates, I will go now!"

He was a little excited.

Eastern Army, doesn't Yang Zhengshan belong to the Eastern Army?

If you count, he hasn't seen Yang Zhengshan for nearly two years!

It seems that he hasn't been back since Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi got married.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he can't get away.

Although Jianningwei is not far from Anyuan City, it takes at least six or seven days to go back and forth. If he stays for a few more days, it will definitely take at least ten days or half a month.

As the governor of Jianningwei and an assistant to Zhou Lan, he has a lot of things to do on weekdays and can't spare so much time.

At this time, he is about to meet Yang Zhengshan, and his heart is pounding.

Yang Mingzhi also misses Yang Zhengshan.

Only when a child leaves home can he know the warmth of home and how important the protection of his parents is.

I don't know when Yang Zhengshan has become his support, his role model, and the person he wants to see most.

...

Five days passed in a flash, and Wang Bin and Yang Zhengshan led the guards around them to ride out of the camp on horseback, riding westward for more than ten miles.

They didn't stop until a mighty army appeared in their west.

Flags fluttered, armor rubbed, the cold might rushed towards them, and the icy edge rushed straight into their hearts.

Wang Bin was riding on the horse, feeling mixed emotions.

Both were lieutenant generals, guarding the same route, but the gap between him and Zhou Lan was too big.

This gap was not in status and background, but in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.

He originally thought that his reinforcement battalion was already an elite force, but when he saw the army under Zhou Lan, he realized that he was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

As for the garrison battalion under Yang Zhengshan, it was not an elite force, but a group of killing gods. Now he would not compare his soldiers with this group of killing gods.

Turning his head to look at Yang Zhengshan, who looked normal, Wang Bin couldn't help sighing in his heart.

If he had known this, he should have let Yang Zhengshan enter the reinforcement battalion and let Yang Zhengshan help him train the soldiers of the reinforcement battalion.

Unfortunately, although he knew that Yang Zhengshan was good at training soldiers before, he never thought of asking Yang Zhengshan to help train soldiers, nor did he think of training soldiers strictly according to the methods and methods in the "Record of Training Soldiers".

It's not his fault. Most military officers in Chongshan Town have read "Records of Military Training", but how many of them can train elite soldiers based on "Records of Military Training"?

First, most military officers have their own ideas. Although they think "Records of Military Training" is very good, they are not so far from treating it as a holy book.

Second, thinking is one thing, doing is another. "Records of Military Training" is just a book. To train elite soldiers, you need more than just a book, but also a lot of time, energy and materials.

Why can Zhou Lan train an elite army?

Yang Zhengshan's guidance was one of the important factors, but more importantly, Zhou Lan was determined, patient, and willing to spend time and energy to train soldiers. After all, Zhou Lan asked Yang Zhengshan to come to Chongshan Town for training soldiers.

In addition, Zhou Lan was able to get supplies, war horses, armor, silver, food, etc. Training soldiers cost a lot, and only Zhou Lan had this confidence.

Just when Wang Bin felt regretful, more than a dozen riders from the opposite army galloped from the queue.

Seeing Zhou Lan again, Yang Zhengshan's heart was also fluctuating.

My thighs are here!

Oh, the thighs are still so handsome!

Tsk tsk, it looks more stylish. In addition to being heroic, there is also an unconcealable domineering aura.

The thighs are mighty!

"Hahaha, General Zhou, long time no see!"

Zhou Lan came closer and Wang Bin laughed.

He and Zhou Lan had a good relationship. When Yang Zhengshan came to Anyuan City, Zhou Lan asked him to take care of Yang Zhengshan. At that time, Wang Bin did take care of Yang Zhengshan for Zhou Lan's sake.

"General Wang!"

Zhou Lan dismounted, clasped her fists and saluted, and then her eyes fell on Yang Zhengshan.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan again, she actually felt amazed.

Yes, amazing!

The last time she saw Yang Zhengshan was three years ago. At that time, Yang Zhengshan had recovered to his normal age under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, but now Yang Zhengshan looks like he is in his early thirties and does not look old at all.

And with the improvement of his cultivation and the fighting on the battlefield during this period, Yang Zhengshan has a majestic aura.

With his tall body, ruddy face, majestic aura, and his one-foot-long beard, he can be said to be heroic and majestic.

Recalling the first time she saw Yang Zhengshan, and then looking at Yang Zhengshan in front of her, Zhou Lan felt that it was unreal.

"Sir Yang!"

She looked at Yang Zhengshan with a bright look.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his long beard with a faint smile on his face, "General Zhou is still so heroic, hahaha..."

"Dad!" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted.

Yang Zhengshan looked at this cheap son.

Speaking of which, among the three brothers, Yang Zhengshan was most optimistic about Yang Mingzhi, but he also got along with Yang Mingzhi the least.

"Not bad, it looks a bit good!"

Yang Zhengshan patted his shoulder and smiled.

Yang Mingzhi almost cried, looking at Yang Zhengshan with tears in his eyes, which made Yang Zhengshan feel a little uncomfortable.

To say how much he missed Yang Mingzhi, there was actually nothing to miss.

"General Zhou, let's go into the camp and talk!"

Wang Bin next to him had already taken Zhou Lan to the camp, leaving time and space for the father and son to talk.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Mingzhi, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Father's love is like a mountain!

His father's love is a silent mountain.

"Ahem, everything is fine at home, don't worry!" Yang Zhengshan could only find something to say.

Yang Mingzhi grinned, "Dad, I know, I believe mother will take good care of the family!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled with relief when he heard this.

The mother he mentioned is Yu Qingyi, and this sentence represents his recognition of Yu Qingyi.

"Let's go, let's go back first, there will be war next!"

As they said, the two walked towards the camp one after the other.

They didn't ride horses, and they chatted while walking.

Father-son relationship is obviously not a topic they can talk about. It's mainly Yang Zhengshan who is asking about the situation of Jianningwei, and he also asked a lot about the situation of Yang's children.

Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi mentioned a heavy topic.

"Chengnian died in the battle!"

Yang Zhengshan paused, but he didn't show any expression, and soon regained his calm and continued to walk forward.

Yang Chengnian was the second batch of Yang family members recommended to him by Yang Zhengxiang. He was only 18 years old that year, and now he is only 22 years old.

This is the first Yang family member who died in the war.

"Where is his body?"

"I have arranged for someone to transport it back!" Yang Mingzhi said in a low voice.

Yang Zhengshan nodded gently, "There is no need to be depressed. This is something we should have thought of long ago!"

"He is the first, but not the last!"

"After the war is over, I will write a letter to your eldest brother and ask him to go back and see that the clan will take good care of his parents, wife and children."

Perhaps because he was used to life and death, Yang Zhengshan did not have too many emotional fluctuations at this time.

Soon the two returned to the camp. The camp was bustling. Zhou Lan's arrival made this busy camp more special.

Drinking is prohibited in the army, but Wang Bin still prepared a rich meal to entertain Zhou Lan and others.

After eating and drinking, both sides talked about business.

In the tent, Yang Zhengshan told everyone about his plan again.

After listening to this, Zhou Lan nodded slightly and said, "This plan is very good, I have no objection."

Yang Zhengshan said, "This time we enter the north of Fushan City, we should mainly use cavalry, pursue the strategy of fighting to support the war, and abandon all logistics teams."

This time they are going deep into the enemy's rear, so naturally they can't bring a large number of civilians, or even infantry, because infantry will slow down their marching speed, which is not conducive to their rapid elimination of the Hu tribe.

Zhou Lan thought for a while and said, "I still have 5,000 cavalry under my command!"

Wang Bin was a little upset after hearing this. He only had 1,000 cavalrymen under his command. Even with Yang Zhengshan's garrison battalion, there were less than 2,000.

"That's enough!" Yang Zhengshan nodded with satisfaction.

Then the three of them discussed the details and went about their business.
