(Maopu Chinese)

It is already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the previous tense atmosphere in Guizhou City has been swept away. The thoughts of the New Year have resurfaced in every Guizhou person. Previously, Guizhou City was attacked on several sides and was in danger. No one had the time to think about it.

Celebrate, but it's different now

, the enemy has been completely driven out of Guizhou, and Shi Gandang's Feitian Battalion has entered the land of Binzhou. Although it is only a small step, it represents the turning point for the Southern Group of the Northern Expedition Army to finally switch from defense to offense. One Defense

One attack, one word difference, the situation is completely different.

In Guizhou City, everyone from high-ranking officials to common people are preparing supplies for the New Year with smiles on their faces.

Guizhou City has been besieged for a long time, and it is obviously impossible to obtain such abundant supplies as in previous years. However, in order to satisfy everyone's wishes, General Pu Demeng ordered that each household can buy ten kilograms of pork in the market.

Five kilograms of mutton and ten kilograms of flour. Before that, all the people in Guizhou city

Some supplies are supplied in limited quantities and are provided per person every day. Except for the army, civilians, including civilian officials, can only say that they will not starve to death. This time, Pu Demeng is bleeding heavily, but a large amount of supplies are already coming from the north.

The shipments kept coming, and Pu Demeng was happy to be generous.

The person who arrived in Guizhou City earlier than the supplies from the North was Guo Feng, the head of the Zifang Division. His arrival surprised Pu Demeng.

"General Guo, I don't have many visitors. How come you have time to come to me at this time of year?" Pu Demeng walked out of the gate of the state government office and looked at the man who stood up and dismounted from his horse. His face was so cold that his face was so cold.

Guo Feng.

"It can't be said, it can't be said!" Guo Feng laughed and walked in arm in arm with Pu Demeng.

Pu Demeng naturally understood in his heart that Guo Feng would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. When he comes here, something big will happen.

"Please come inside, General Guo, good luck. Today I wanted to treat myself well, so I asked the guards to make hot pot with some smoked rabbits that I had hidden for a long time. I was preparing to have a few drinks, but I didn't expect you.

Here we are, I was wondering why I am so hungry today, it turns out that there are distinguished guests coming, please hurry up, please hurry up, the hot pot has been set up, the aroma of smoked hare meat is strong now, it is just right to go with the wine!"

"It's better to come early than to come in time!" Guo Feng laughed, "It just washes away the dust and coldness of the road. Listening to what you said, I have already come down! Hahaha, hurry up, hurry up!"

"

In the inner hall, a wooden table with a hole in the middle has been set up. A charcoal stove is placed in the hole in the middle of the wooden table. The iron pot placed on it is boiling up and down, and the energy is rising.

Along with the unique aroma of smoked meat, it floats in the house.

"Sit, sit!" Pu Demeng smiled and reached out to take the cloak that Guo Feng had taken off, and hung it on the hook on the wall. He turned around and extended his hand to give way. The two had known each other for a long time, and Guo Feng was not pretentious.

, Da Ma Jin Dao sits on the ground

After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks on the table, stirred a few times in the soup, picked out a large piece, and threw it into his mouth without caring about it being hot. He chewed it. But Pu Demeng smiled and picked up the wine that had been hot on the table and served it.

Guo Feng poured a glass.

"How come the guard who cooks for me is an old cook from the north. He has been in the south for several years. He still hasn't mastered his skills?" Pu De asked with a fierce smile.

Rabbit meat is very spicy. You can tell by just looking at the layer of red spicy oil floating in the pot. But Guo Feng, who comes from the North, had the best bite. He nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, good, good taste. I

I'm afraid you've stayed in the south for several years and this taste

It's been changed, but it's boring. The last time I stayed in Guizhou City for a long time, I was tired of the boring stuff. Come on, let's go!" He picked up the wine glass and talked with Pu Demeng.

He touched it and drank it in one gulp.

"Good wine!" After one glass, Guo Feng exclaimed, "Good wine!"

"Of course it's a good wine. This is a good daughter's wine from the south, which we can't get in the north." Pu De said with a fierce smile.

"Good fellow, Lao Pu, I thought you were in poverty, but I didn't expect you to live a comfortable life. In our north, it is forbidden to use grain to make wine. Fortunately, now that we have the deceitful mare's kumiss, we can finally

It can satisfy my craving, but to be honest, I really can’t get used to drinking kumiss!”

"It is true that supplies are tight, but as the commander of the southern military headquarters, if I become a beggar, then the soldiers will starve to death. Quan Yifeng bought me nearly two months.

, which gave me enough time to prepare for Guizhou city defense, which led to today's achievements. It's a pity that most of the brothers in the fifth battalion were injured or killed." Pu Demeng shook his head.

Guo Feng nodded, raised the refilled wine glass above his head, and stood up, "With this glass, let's pay tribute to those brothers who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Northern Army!"

The two of them stood solemnly, bowed their hands to the ground deeply, and poured the wine in their glasses onto the ground.

"The fifth battalion indeed fought hard, and the prince was very sad when he heard about it. I heard that the prince is planning to transfer Wan Shichang's troops to the south to replenish the troops of the fifth battalion."

"Well, I have already added Fang Xiang and Liao Daping's troops to the fifth battalion. But Wan Shichang is here. With these brothers from the north, the fifth battalion will be full of combat effectiveness in a short time.

Something to look forward to.”

Guo Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about Quan Yifeng. Even if you don't say that Quan Yifeng is an old brother from back then, he will never let the fifth battalion lose its prestige just like this. If he points at Li Fugui, he will soon."

We need people and materials, and in short, the Fifth Battalion will be able to rise again soon."

"Then I'll be happy!" Pu Demeng laughed, "In terms of combat effectiveness, the fifth battalion under my command is really number one!"

"Quan Yifeng is still on the front line"

"Well, I'll be back in a few days for a military discussion!"

"Well, let's give him another surprise then!"

"Oh, what a surprise, can you tell me first?"

"You are the commander of the First Army, so of course I have to let you know that Quan Yifeng has always wanted the fifth battalion to have an independent camp name. This time I came, the prince personally named the fifth battalion, Tiger Camp!

"Guo Feng said with a smile, "The camp flag embroidered by the Red Lady herself has the head of a majestic tiger. It looks really majestic!"

"The Tiger Camp is indeed impressive, but General Guo and Mrs. Yan can embroider the flag personally. That is the glory of Quan Yifeng and the fifth battalion. But as for Mrs. Yan's embroidery skills, don't make the embroidery look like a cat.

But that’s terrible!”

Guo Feng laughed loudly, "We have been separated for three days, so we should look at each other with admiration. To tell you the truth, Mrs. Yan today is no longer the red lady she used to be."

"It's really good, really wonderful. This is a blessing for our army in the Northern Conquest, and it's also a blessing for you and me. Come on, let's go!" Pu Demeng laughed, "Back then, I fought with the Red Lady for a period of time, and I was imprisoned in the prison.

Let’s whisper in the room, the red lady is really a tigress, she is so powerful, and now the hand holding the knife actually holds an embroidery needle, our prince is so powerful!”

Guo Feng laughed endlessly. The two of them had a mouthful of meat and a glass of wine, and were sweating profusely. After drinking for three rounds, Pu Demeng finally said: "Brother Guo, you have come all the way here, don't you just give it to Quan Yifeng?"

It’s the flag”

Guo Feng picked up a piece of rabbit meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, "Old Pu, what do you think?"

"What's there to guess? No matter how proud Quan Yifeng is, I can't let you deliver the flag in person. What else are you doing here?" Pu De asked with a fierce smile.

Guo Feng swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth and said: "Of course there is a very important business, Lao Pu, what kind of enemies are there in front of you in the three southern states?"

"The three most important ones are Zhang Yuting's Xiao Guards, Su Can's Tiger Guards, and Quan Changbin's Zhenjun. As for the Wei family, they were just tidied up by Shi Gandang some time ago. This person is against us.

I mean, the threat is not big.”

"Yes, my goal here is one of the three of them!" Guo Feng put down his chopsticks and said softly.

Pu De looked at Zifeng fiercely and pondered for a long time, "Quan Changbin"

Guo Feng nodded, "Quan Changbin's troops were originally from the Taizhou Town Army. They were all my men from the North. Over the years, they have fought in the north and south, resulting in heavy casualties. The original Taizhou Town Army is less than half, and the new ones are all from the south.

, but one thing is very important. Most of those old Taizhou soldiers have now become officers or soldiers, and a few have become senior generals."

"You want to instigate rebellion against Quan Changbin," Pu Demeng said in surprise.

Guo Feng shook his head, "It's impossible to instigate Quan Changbin. This person can't turn back, and it's impossible to cooperate with us. But it's different for other people. Those generals and low-level officers from the north

, is the goal we strive for. Not to mention winning them all, only three or two people are willing to defect to us, which will play a decisive role in your future southern war."

"Of course!" Pu Demeng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Quan Changbin's troops, both Congliang and Su Can, trust him very much. The places where his troops are stationed are also important. If they can defect to

We will give Su Can a fatal blow when the time comes."

"So I came here to preside over this matter. In the past few months, someone from my department has been planning this matter and found many relatives of these officers who are still in the North. Through them, I think there will be unexpected things

Harvest. Anyway, sow widely and reap little."

"Do you already have a goal?"

"Of course. This is a list we have drawn up. Take a look!" He reached out and took out a list from his arms and handed it to Pu Demeng.

After just one glance, Pu Demeng couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good guy, Lao Guo, if these people come over, Quan Changbin will cry!"

Guo Feng smiled coldly, "We just have to make him cry. If he cries, we can laugh!"

"If it is true as you say, then we will be able to invade the three southern states soon!" Pu Demeng said excitedly: "But there is a problem that I have been thinking about for a long time, but I can't figure it out, that is, within the three southern states, there are many rivers and lakes.

There are ravines all over the place. Our Northern Army is not used to it. Can you send me an army?"

"You are talking about Yo Ma's Marine Corps. Don't even think about it. They have other important responsibilities and cannot come to your side." Guo Feng poured a ladle of cold water on his head.
