November 28, the 24th year of Tai'an, outside Chengde County.
After taking Andu County, Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe only rested for ten days before leading a large group of troops to Chengde again.
Among the counties in Yuanyang, Chengde is the most remote place, so it is ranked last.
After many days of hard fighting, Xu and Chen captured Chengde County.
According to the Privy Council's plan, all major tasks for this year have been completed. The Privy Council and the Chief Secretary are still arguing about how to develop next year.
Of course, for Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe, no matter which direction they develop, it's just the same as changing places to kill zombies.
At this moment, the two of them were standing on the city wall, waiting for the royal palace's troops to come and receive them.
According to the agreement, the officers who arrived in Chengde today were deputy Qianhu Fangtong.
All the recruits trained by the Privy Council have been replenished to Duan Hong's headquarters and organized into a complete Thousand Household Division.
The two new candidates for Deputy Qianhu were also finalized after Zhao Yanxun was finalized.
Like last time, there are two people who are qualified to serve as Deputy Qianhu, one is Fang Tong, the former General Banner of the Guards Department, and the other is Tan Lu, a Hundred Husband of the Military and Horse Department.
And the one who is coming to Chengde today is the new deputy Qian Hu Fangtong.
Before taking Chengde, Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe took in many people in Chengde while killing zombies.
There are almost three thousand of these people, and they are all gathered inside and outside Chengde County, waiting for the arrival of the royal army.
After handing over this place, Xu and Chen will lead the team back to the capital. This time they can spend the New Year in Yuanyang safely.
Of course, the premise is that nothing happens during this period.
If there was a zombie riot and they would have to put out the fire when the time came, that would be unsettling.
When Xu and Chen were communicating, they saw an army appearing on the horizon in the distance, carrying Zhao Yanxun's banner with the word "Yong".
The leader of the team, Deputy Qianhu Fangtong, was riding a horse at the front.
From the general banner of the Guards Department to the position of Deputy Qianhu, logically speaking, it should be a good thing, but now Fang Tong is not happy because he can't tell whether this is good or bad for him.
Just like Gao Zheng'an, after leaving the Guards Department, they felt that leaving the core of the palace was equivalent to being sent away.
Fang Tong was not happy, but his people were happy, such as Baihu Menghai.
During the latest round of conscription by the Privy Council, Meng Hai also took Ma Shan to join the army, so he was traveling in the army at this moment.
Due to his excellent performance in all aspects, Meng Hai quickly stood out in the army and was promoted to three levels in two months.
Behind Meng Hai, Ma Shan could be heard saying: "Brother, we are finally going home!"
Hearing this, Meng Hai immediately straightened his face and said in a low voice: "Shut up, there is no big brother here, only hundreds of households!"
The military law in Prince Yong's Mansion is very strict, and all the superiors and subordinates are commensurate with their official positions, and there must be no apparent buddies.
Seeing how serious Meng Hai was, Ma Shan did not dare to talk back and quickly replied: "I remember my humble position!"
After joining the army, Ma Shan also became a small flag officer, which also illustrates his ability.
At this time, Meng Hai sighed: "Although I am going home, I no longer have a home!"
Almost everyone I know is dead, and only the land of Chengde is left. Can we still call it home?
At this moment, Mashan said: "Sir, as long as we follow the prince, we will be able to rebuild our home!"
Meng Hai nodded, he was convinced of this.
At this moment, Meng Hai, as a member of the Hundred Households, has been upgraded by Zhao Yanxun, and his personal strength has been improved in all aspects, so he naturally regards Zhao Yanxun as a god.
It was only after he was upgraded that he realized how strong the people in the Guards Division were. No wonder they could fight against the corpses.
This is the worst of times, but it is also an era of great achievements.
Meng Hai believed that he had a lot of abilities. In the past, he had no hope when he was in Dusi, but under the royal palace system, he felt that he could show what he could do.
"On the first day of December, the royal palace will hold a commendation meeting. Ordinary soldiers and small flag officers under the Military and Horse Department will have the opportunity to be bestowed with magical powers!"
Speaking of this, Ma Shan said with hope: "Master Baihu, when will I have this opportunity?"
"The palace judges heroes based on their military exploits. Whoever kills more monsters, rescues more people, and searches for more materials will have the opportunity to be granted the power of divine martial arts!" Meng Hai said slowly.
Then he glanced at Mashan and asked: "When you join the army, you won't take any of these, just take your time!"
To be honest, even the second-rate army of the royal family like the Bingma Division was considered by Meng Hai to be a rare and powerful army.
Compared with the soldiers at the guard station back then, they were like heaven and earth.
Meng Hai felt extremely honored to be able to join this army.
"Master Baihu, how does it feel to be given the power of a god?" Mashan asked with a smile.
Hearing this question, Meng Hai couldn't help but fall into recollection.
"It's a very mysterious feeling. It feels like the soul has left the body, and the whole person..."
Meng Hai hadn't read many books, so he couldn't describe it clearly, so he was at a loss for words at the moment.
"Actually... there is a shortcut to gaining divine power!"
"What shortcut?" Meng Hai asked quickly.
"Every time there is a vacancy in the Guards Department, soldiers will be selected from the Soldiers and Horses Department to replenish them. As long as you pass the election, you will be given the power of divine martial arts!"
This is indeed a path, but it is also full of difficulties. The people who run for the Guards Department are all fierce people, and it is extremely difficult to become the best among them.
"Master Baihu, I'd better take it slow by myself!"
The army moved forward slowly. They were only two or three miles away from the scene of Cheng De. After a while, they appeared outside the city gate.
Looking at the people on both sides in front of him, Meng Hai really didn't expect that there would be so many survivors.
In front of the team, Fang Tong had jumped off his horse and came to Xu Yu and the others.
"I have met you two adults!" Fang Tongdang saluted first.
Half a month ago, he was Chen Yuhe's subordinate, and now it was a little awkward for the two of them to see each other again.
As an old boss, Chen Yuhe warned: "Fang Tong, the prince values you, promotes you and entrusts the city's morality to you. Don't let the prince down!"
"I understand the humble position!"
Fang Tong's humiliation made Chen Yuhe even more embarrassed. After all, the rank of Deputy Qianhu was higher than that of Baihu.
At this time, Xu Yu came to the rescue and said: "As the deputy of Qianhu, the city's morality will be left to you. Hurry up and enter the city!"
After saying this, Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe stepped aside. They really had nothing to do here.
After getting on the horse again and looking at the city in front of him, Fang Tong ordered: "The whole army is here, enter the city!"
The team was neat and marched towards the city gate, surrounded by the cheers of the people.
"Long live His Highness King Yong!"
The common people shouted loudly, expressing their endless gratitude to King Yong. Without King Yong, they would surely die.
The cries of the common people easily resonated with the army.
With the addition of the army, the shouts of long live the city were like thunder, which was deafening.
Among the team, Meng Hai and Ma Shan also looked promising, shouting the slogan "Long live His Highness King Yong!"
The city's virtue has been captured and the entire territory of Yuanyang Mansion has been recovered. This is a milestone moment.
