The First Battalion of the Lucheng Border Army has always been an elite force. It has been deliberately cultivated since the Feng Congyi era and has hatred for the Mongols engraved in its bones. It has strong combat effectiveness and each one is carefully selected.

, the current commander of this 3,000-man army is Yao Meng.

Since Sima Rui arrived, Yao Meng has been prosperous and prosperous. Sima Rui's generous efforts not only freed Yao Meng from his previous embarrassment, but also promoted him from a sentry general to the position of commander of the first battalion. Yao Meng has always been

I never thought that I would become the chief officer of the First Battalion, because this army has always been personally led by General Lucheng. Although Sima Rui placed two sons of the Sima family as sentry officers in the First Battalion, Yao Yao

Meng was still very satisfied, because the other two sentry generals were his direct descendants. Needless to say, the abilities of his two brothers were more than enough to serve as sentry generals. As for the two sons of the Sima family, one was named Sima Dan.

, one is named Sima Huai. Although it is not known how capable he is in battle, at least his personal display of force and military common sense revealed in his conversation are sufficient for him as a sentry general.

Sima Rui vigorously reorganized the Lucheng border army, deliberately improving the combat effectiveness of other battalions, and transferred Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian, and Qu Lu all at once. However, the impact on the combat effectiveness of the first battalion was not great because the grassroots officers did not

Da Dong, Sima Rui also knew that the first battalion was his foundation.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th battalions left the city for training. Only the first battalion was left in the city to garrison, but Yao Meng didn't take it seriously. Lucheng had never counted on other troops before, let alone now it is peace time.

, in addition to the regular garrison and patrols on the city, other troops stayed in the military camp to take turns.

Although he is now in power, Yao Meng still retains some of the habits of the past. Although it was already the third watch, he still went to patrol the city. He was very satisfied with the military discipline of the soldiers in the city. After a few words of encouragement, he

He was preparing to go home with two soldiers. During this period, the personnel of the First Battalion had undergone major changes. He had been staying in the camp to stabilize the morale of the soldiers and had not returned home for more than ten days.

The sound of horseshoes clanking on the bluestone streets was crisp and distant. At this time, Lucheng had fallen into silence, with only a few places still lit.

Yao Meng suddenly reined in his horse and looked at a courtyard on the street with a complicated expression. Through the low courtyard wall, he looked at the light still coming from a familiar window inside. This was the residence of Lucheng Deputy General Wang Min.

Home.

The four sentry generals of the first battalion collectively surrendered to Sima Rui. Wang Min was completely ignored. Now in Lucheng, he is just an idler. He doesn't even have to go to the Yamen. No one will pay attention to him anyway. Yao Meng looked at the dim lights.

, suddenly remembered that for many years, they had spent many times in this room with lights on, eating some peanuts, beef jerky, dried tofu, drinking soju, laughing and bragging loudly, and talking about one day reaching the desert.

He broke into the Black Rock Mountain and snatched back the things they regarded as treasures from the Mongolian holy land in the Black Rock Mountain. Although the days at that time were poor, they were happy.

Now? Yao Meng lowered his head, no, now is better. At least now, isn't he one step closer to his ideal of the past? He has been promoted and became a serious general, and the battalion general has officially entered the world.

The rank of General Dai Viet belongs to the mid-level military attaché. A year ago, he was just a sixth-grade Zhaowu Colonel. In one year, he surpassed General Guidelang and Guerrilla General, and was promoted to the rank of Congjun.

It took me more than twenty years to complete the fifth rank of Ranger General, from a Guide Halberd Commander to a Zhaowu Colonel. But now, in less than a year, I have been promoted three times in a row.

You must know that Dai Viet's officer system is very strict. The higher you go up, the more difficult it is to be promoted. In the entire Dai Viet, His Majesty the Emperor is also the Marshal of the Army, and further down, the huge Dai Viet army only has one hussar general.

Generals, from the first rank. One auxiliary general, the second rank, two generals from the second rank to suppress the army, three champion generals from the third rank, and generals Huaihua and Yunhui of the third rank and above, the whole of Dai Viet is no more than

There are only dozens of people. For example, Feng Congyi, the former general in Lucheng, worked in the border town all his life. When he finally left, he was only a Zhongwu general of the fourth rank, while the current general Sima Rui was still a Xuanwei general of the fourth rank.

General, in order to reach the level of Feng Congyi, he has to surpass the two levels of Huaihua Zhonglang General and Zhuangwu General.

He had done nothing wrong. Yao Meng assured himself in his heart that at least after Sima Rui took office, Lucheng's overall military strength had greatly increased, and only a powerful army could support his dreams.

He galloped forward, and now he and Wang Min had parted ways. Even if he sincerely went to see him, Wang Min would not treat him well, and might even beat him out with a stick. Although Wang Min had already

He was ignored, but as a fourth-rank Mingwei general, if he really wanted to beat him out, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. There was no need to ask for this trouble, Yao Meng shook his head.

Lucheng South Gate is a border fortress. In the past, Lucheng had strict regulations on the distance between the city wall and the residences of residents in the city. It must be at least a thousand meters away. No construction was allowed in the empty space in the middle.

However, with the establishment of the land market, land in Lucheng became extremely valuable. Every bit of land in the city was valuable. Under the huge temptation of money, Sima Rui shortened this limit to three with a stroke of his pen.

Within a year, countless warehouses and warehouses were built on the nearly 700 meters of free land, which became a place for big merchants to accumulate goods.

Of course, the money from the high-priced sales of these originally public lands fell into Sima Rui's pocket.

As the largest fur goods merchant in Lucheng's market, Pi Dingqiu's warehouse is located just at the south gate. Although the warehouse covering an area of ​​nearly 300 square meters is not the largest, it is one of the few in the entire Lucheng.

Now there is no light in Pi Dingqiu's warehouse, and the goods inside are scattered on the ground in a mess. In the whole warehouse, people have been sneaking in one after another since nightfall. It is almost the fourth watch now.

About three hundred people have gathered in the warehouse. From the large pile of leather goods near the corner, sharp sabers, iron bows, and tubes of feather arrows were pulled out. In an instant, these people transformed into

They are a well-trained army. Although they are wearing different uniforms and colors, and some are even wearing Dai Viet costumes, they are all lined up in an extremely neat line, with their sabers across their knees, sitting silently.

You can see at the slightest sound that this is a real army.

The man sitting at the front is holding his knees with his hands and eyes slightly closed. He is Tuoli, the commander of Yaldan's bodyguard. In order to ensure that he can capture Lu City in one fell swoop without paying a high price, Yaldan has been

Since then, he has been sending his 300 guards into Lucheng in various ways. These 300 guards are selected from the large tent soldiers and are dedicated to guarding the safety of Yaldan. Each of them can be called a

There are real talents among the Mongolian army, and Tuoli is the most beautiful one among them.

Their mission is to quickly seize the south gate when the Mongolian army begins to attack and open the way for the Mongolian cavalry to enter the city. As long as the Mongolian army enters the city, the current Lucheng border army only has a garrison of 3,000 people in Lucheng.

, will be unable to stop the Mongolian army's advance.

Tuoli admired Princess Yaldan very much. Although the princess was a woman, her thinking was far-reaching and her strategies were clever, far beyond those of ordinary men. Thinking about it, even the old Mongolian heroes such as Aslan and Balutu were willing to do this.

Accepting Jardan's command shows the princess's prestige in the hearts of the people.

It was just a small plan to wipe out the Yingzuiyan horse bandits, but hidden behind this plan was a huge plan for the Mongolian army to invade Dai Viet. The whole plan was seamless, and judging from the current implementation process, it was also smooth sailing.

Sure enough, Sima Rui, the general of Lu City, led most of the troops in Lu City out of the city. Although the most elite first battalion stayed in the city, once the city gate was opened, they were covered in iron. How many nails could they drive?

Pi Dingqiu sat cross-legged among a pile of furs, his face full of joy.

There was the sound of banging at the fourth watch outside. Tuoli turned his head and opened his eyes. With the faint light outside, he looked at Pi Dingqiu, whose face was full of joy. Suddenly, a burst of contempt arose in his heart. Is this a Dai Viet person?

He was so happy when his own country's land was about to be invaded. Did he think that the great Mongolian people would like them, these boneless traitors who betrayed their compatriots and their country?

"Mr. Pi, if you help us get to Mengcheng this time, you will definitely get a lot of silver reward, right?" The disdain in Tuoli's tone could be heard by anyone.

Pi Dingqiu chuckled, "I'm not doing it for the money."

"Oh, what are you doing for that?"

Pi Dingqiu glanced at Tuoli and said slowly: "Tuoli, do you know who I am?"

"People from Dayue, Pi Dingqiu, we Mongolians are on the inside of Dayue!" Tuoli said with some confusion.

Pi Dingqiu looked up to the sky and was silent for a long time, "Ten years, ten years, I can finally go home."

He stood up and said, "Tuoli, my name is Moller. I am a member of the Horqin tribe. I have sneaked into Dai Viet and stayed anonymous for ten years. Hehe, sometimes I even forget that I have another name named Moller.

For ten years, I have not dared to go home or see my parents because I was afraid that I would give up and be exposed. But after today, I can go back to Horqin openly and call Mohler openly.

Already."
