In the early August of the 13th year of Longwu's reign in the Southern Qi Dynasty, barbarians from southern Xinjiang invaded the border and surrendered to the army.

It has been four or five days since Yi Tianhang took office. As Mu Ziyu said, the five hundred elite soldiers under his command did not take him seriously at all. For no other reason than he was appointed as Qudu at a young age.

Although the rank of Qudu is not high, only the seventh rank, it is a military position that most people would never be able to climb. The soldiers are naturally dissatisfied. Moreover, everyone does not know his background. They only know that he is a good friend of Captain Xing.

Tang Tingshan used a trick to defeat the barbarian army in the first battle, but many people had not seen it with their own eyes and were not convinced at all. Yi Tianhang had a much crueler temper than Xing Zongliang, so today he made up his mind to establish his authority.

After the training of various departments in the camp, Yi Tianhang did not dismiss the soldiers, but directly shouted to the 500 people under him on the school ground: "I have just arrived here, and I know that some of you are not convinced. You are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Treat me

It is reasonable for this young boy to be dissatisfied. I understand this matter, but! Now that I am standing here, you must recognize this reality. It is me, this young man, who has done your head!

In the future, I will need your full support to kill enemies on the battlefield!"

After saying this, all the soldiers in the audience whispered to each other and did not take Yi Tianhang seriously at all, just like Xing Zongliang did back then.

Yi Tianhang slowed down and scanned the soldiers, only to see disdain on their faces. He thought to himself: "These words are in vain, well, in this case, don't blame me for being ruthless."

.”

Yi Tianhang continued: "I happen to have some free time today. If any of you want to stretch your muscles, you can come down and compete with me."

As soon as these words came out, the five hundred elite soldiers cheered for a moment. These people had been waiting for this day for a long time. Unexpectedly, Governor Yiqu came to the door on his own initiative. After several village chiefs put it together, they discussed and recommended the one with the highest martial arts skills to appear.

Before deciding on the candidate, he heard Yi Tianhang say: "Don't waste time, let the ten village chiefs come together!"

This statement was extremely arrogant, and the village chiefs were very angry. This was obviously looking down on people!

In just one cup of tea, Yi Tianhang defeated all the village chiefs, and said with a cold face a famous saying that would be widely circulated among the Shu-protecting army and attract great hatred: "Men can be incompetent and incompetent, but

You must be self-aware! Who else is dissatisfied? Come together!"

When the five hundred soldiers heard this, they were furious. In an instant, dozens of strong soldiers came forward and started beating Tianhang. At the beginning, everyone was still using their moves in a certain way. After fighting for a long time, it became like a street fight. There were so many people that they could no longer be seen.

Also the figure of Tianhang.

"It's broken. Will Governor Yiqu be beaten to death?"

"Do you want to report it to Captain Xing?"

A soldier watching the battle whispered.

The onlookers saw people wailing and falling to the ground, but none of their colleagues stopped. Knowing that Governor Yi Qu had not yet been defeated, everyone stared intently, fearing that Yi Tianhang would break out of the encirclement, or something worse.

After fighting for a long time, they even came out to join in the beating. Seventy or eighty people were beating Tianhang one after another.

After a stick of incense was burned, no one was left standing in the audience, and there were only cries of pain and wailing.

Yi Tianhang, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, stood up from the "corpse" on the ground. The leather armor and helmet on his body had long gone.

The more than 400 people watching the battle were dumbfounded. Yi Tianhang held his long hair and said: "I am the commander of the battle armor. You will pay for it!"

Yi Tianhang's rhetoric was too extreme and failed to convince the public, so he could only rely on his strength to intimidate.

There were many people watching the show in the battle of establishing prestige in the Tianhang school field, and other parts of the show. It can be said that he became famous in one battle, and the news spread throughout the Zizhong Army that day.

"I heard that the newly arrived Governor Yiqu killed dozens of people in order to establish his authority and convince the crowd. He was much more ruthless than Captain Xing."

"Oh, that's nonsense. It was obviously Governor Yiqu who brought down one or two hundred people. They looked like monsters."

"You two are just bragging. How can we, a warrior who has fought a hundred battles, be so miserable? I heard that Governor Yi Qu beat and blackmailed his soldiers."

...

A few days later, Yi Tianhang became notorious for "beating" soldiers. Although he was beaten by dozens of people that day, in the eyes of others, it was someone who provoked and beat dozens of outspoken soldiers as soon as he took office.

Man, and caused these dozens of people to faint and die on the ground. The assailant not only escaped unharmed, but later even used the excuse of damaged armor to extort money from the injured. It is simply unreasonable!

In Yitianhang's military tent, this ruthless young man was looking helplessly at Xing Zongliang and Yu Siren, and said: "You two, you think I provoked whom, it has only been more than ten days since I took office.

The vicious reputation spread far and wide throughout the entire Zizhong Camp."

Yu Siren was a little gloating about the misfortune and said with a smile: "Well, I said 'Yi Da Xia', Lao Yu, I heard that yesterday you sent Captain Qian to give you a lecture and found a place for Captain Qian.

Have Captain Yang, Captain Yang, and Captain Wang all been killed? These few have already gone to General Mu to file a complaint... You must work harder and try to get Captain Dong as well..."

"Go away! You damn fat man, look at how fat you are. You've been in the army for more than a year and you've gained a lot of weight." Yi Tianhang replied.

"What's wrong? The commander of this village is called a bear and a tiger. Don't be jealous of 'Yi Da Xia.'" Yu Siren said proudly.

Xing Zongliang knew that Yu Siren was deliberately teasing Yi Tianhang, so he said: "Tianhang, the matter is now over, don't think too much about it, it doesn't matter if you have overturned dozens of people, but what can you do if you offend a few captains?" General Mu said to this

I have been pretending not to know what happened, and Captain Dong did not show up. The attitude of these two is the key."

Yi Tianhang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and no longer bothered about this "notorious" matter, and said: "I heard that there were reports from sentinels that two Nanman armies arrived at Jiawu and Jiangyang. They did not rush to attack, but left the city.

Setting up camps and building fortresses for tens of miles, is this a long-term plan?"

"Yes, when you beat up the soldiers five days ago, these two groups of barbarians had already set up camp." Xing Zongliang replied.

"The army is about to move, and food and grass are the first priority. The southern barbarians mobilized their troops and traveled for several months from the hinterland of southern Xinjiang to get here, but they did not attack? There must be a conspiracy." Yi Tianhang thought for a while and said.

"General Mu and Marquis Danqu also noticed that the Nanman's behavior this time was different from the past. It seemed to be planned by an expert. A few days ago, traces of rogue bandits were discovered in Zizhong. As the two armies faced each other, at the critical moment, the hinterland behind our army suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

There is a group of bandits, which is very suspicious. General Mu intends to send troops to wipe them out. There are many people in the army who want to fight, but the general is hiding and not saying anything, probably because he is considering who can get the military glory." Xing Zongliang joined the army.

For a while, although he still had some charlatanism, his face now looked like he was deep in thought, and he had the steady demeanor of a veteran in the army.

Yu Siren stroked the two mustaches on his lips and said: "We, 'Yi Da Xia', will definitely not be able to take this credit. General Mu also has to consider the wishes of several captains."

The three people were talking to each other, and the guards outside the tent were cursing secretly in their hearts. They thought that they were not responsible for the success of the suppression of the bandits this time. Governor Yiqu had offended several captains, and most likely would be arranged to stay in the camp.

.

Just when the three people in the tent had no idea, the guards outside the tent were greeting the elder Yi Tianhang. They saw a fast horse galloping in front of the tent. The knight on the horse opened his mouth and shouted: "Yi Tianhang listens to the order and is following the order of General Mu.

Yi Tianhang's troops immediately raised troops as a vanguard to search for and suppress the bandits who were fleeing in the south of Zizhong. Dong Xiaowei followed with the army. After the soldiers and horses set off, they followed Dong Xiaowei's orders in response to the matter. This is the general's order.

My subordinates still have military duties, please take your leave."

After saying this, the knight didn't wait for Yi Tianhang to come out of the tent. He handed the letter to the guard outside the tent and rode away. The guard took the letter and froze on the spot. He didn't react until Yi Tianhang and others came out of the tent.

The military situation was urgent. Yi Tianhang, Xing Zongliang, and Yu Siren didn't have time to think about it, so they each snickered and returned to camp. The huge pie smashed on Yi Tianhang's head.

Ordering troops and swearing an oath, Yi Tianhang was dressed in a military uniform and leather armor. He was indeed an extraordinary warrior. After contacting Dong Xiaowei about the relevant matters, he took the lead and led the army to set off. The morale of the soldiers under the tent was greatly boosted. This governor's actions

The vanguard led the troops into battle to protect the Shu army for the first time in history. Is this sir a direct descendant of General Mu?!

The military system of the Southern Qi Dynasty was strict. The status of the army was distinguished by the type of armor. Soldiers below the camp commander could only wear leather breastplates. The camp commander could wear leather helmets and shoulder armors.

Leather armor, captains wear standard iron armor, captains and generals wear iron fish scale armor. Of course, if you are a captain and have money, no one will bother you to make more precious armors, as long as you don't

It's okay to go beyond the limit. You can't have the king of Qi wearing silver armor, and a fifth-grade general wearing a blinding gold armor to parade through the market.

It had been three days since Yi Tianhang led his army out of the city. This was his first time leading an army, and he felt uneasy. He was indeed not as good as Xing Zongliang in this regard. After all, Xing Zongliang had commanded three thousand men.

While the army was marching, the commander of Huang Tuen, the first station of his subordinates, came forward and said: "Qi Yi Qu Superintendent, the scout reported that there are still five days' journey from the place where the bandits appeared. We have found traces of the bandits. Let's see where they are buried."

, there are about hundreds of people, and if you travel day and night, you can get there in three days."

Yi Tianhang heard the words and replied: "I don't know where Dong Xiaowei's army is marching. If the bandits only have a few hundred people, we can fight alone in this battle. However, these bandits from Shu have always been hiding in Jiawu and Jiangyang.

In the uninhabited mountains and forests of Jiangzhou and Wulin, most of the activities are on the border, how could they suddenly venture into the Zizhong territory?"

Yi Tianhang seemed to be talking to Chief Huang, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

How could Chief Huang have the time to decipher the meaning of Yi Tianhang's words? He just heard that he was fighting against the bandits alone. He was instantly elated and directly asked for instructions: "Sir, can our troops speed up their journey and take advantage of this alone?"

"No, if we march in a hurry, the soldiers will definitely be tired. If the bandits are prepared, the gains will outweigh the losses. How many days of rations do our troops have?"

"My lord, when we sent out the army, each soldier carried seven days of rations. Now there are four days left. If we march urgently at this moment, find the enemy in three days, and fight decisively in one day to capture the enemy's food, then the food and grass will be enough."

Chief Huang didn't give up and wanted Yi Tianhang to kill the bandits alone, so his subordinates would naturally gain more military honors.

Yi Tianhang couldn't understand the meaning of the words and said directly: "I understand what Chief Huang means. It's just that this battlefield can't be a trivial matter. If we can't find the bandits in three days, our brothers will run out of rations and their morale will be lost."

In the Great Fall, if we cannot find the whereabouts of the bandits in five or six days, and if we run out of food and grass, our troops will be demoralized and their lives will be in danger, how will I explain it to my brothers?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Huang Tuan replied: "Your Majesty is very worried. I will obey your orders and my subordinates will retire."

"Wait a moment, send a horse quickly to contact Captain Dong and inform our department that the bandits have been traced. We may fight the bandits at any time in two or three days. We hope that the army of light cavalry will come with food and grass to support." Yi Tianhang thought for a moment and then ordered.

"I obey," said Chief Huang, then left to make arrangements.

Yi Tianhang led his troops to travel south for another two days. The fast horse that went to contact Dong Xiaowei had returned, but there was no light cavalry coming to help. According to the report from the sentry, the bandits had moved towards Zizhong today. Judging from the marching tracks of the two armies,

We can meet tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but looking at what the thieves did, they didn't look like ordinary thieves, but more like barbarian soldiers in disguise.

"March according to the planned plan. Send more scouts and sentries to report any unusual movements by the bandits immediately."

"Subordinates take orders."

Yi Tianhang's army has 500 men and horses, divided into ten villages, each with fifty men and ten village commanders. Although these soldiers admitted that Yi Tianhang was brave and brave, they had to pay compensation for their armor because of Yi Tianhang's request.

Everyone feels sad and dissatisfied.

This time the vanguard went out to fight the bandits, and everyone was as excited as if they were out picking up money. Although the Zhongzhong army was elite, it was not as good as Jiawu after all. The Jiang and Yang armies guarded the border and often had military exploits to gain, so the vanguard thing was of great significance to these people.
