Yang Hao asked with a wry smile: "I am becoming more and more confused now. What is going on? Bayi         Chinese★★W★W    .★8√1     z★W. CoM Zeng Gong is the General of the Sword sent by the above to coordinate the promotion of righteousness. Now he is left behind by Tiande Army. Why do you suddenly ignore his life and death? I am really confused by you, no, no, I am not confused now. Since I defeated Wang Shoucheng in October polo stadium, I have been confused. Brother Meng, General Meng, my biological brother, no matter how much you look down on your brother, but here you can trust me. Can you make an exception, be good, tell me the whole story of the twists and turns?"

Meng Bochang sank his face and shouted, "What are you impatient? I will naturally say what you should say."

Yang Hao did not dare to argue with him again. The soldiers brought in a basin of cold water with ice ginger. Meng Bochang leaned over and immersed his face in ice water. He was silent for a moment before taking a towel to wipe his face. Yang Hao was stunned by his strange behavior. Meng Bochang put his hand in ice water and soaked it for a while, rubbed his wrist and threw the water dry, and then sat in front of the brazier to roast the fire.

There was a round neck sand jar on the brazier, which contained half a jar of thick white mutton oil mixed soup. The sergeant sent a plate of buckwheat cakes and a plate of beef sauce. Meng Bochang greeted Yang Hao: "Let's talk while eating."

Yang Hao knew that it was useless to be anxious with him, so he had to sit down and eat patiently. Meng Bochang ate very quickly, and before Yang Hao finished half of the buckwheat cake, he had already eaten and drank enough and rinsed.

Meng Bochang leaned against the soft couch, looked at Yang Hao with a squinted look and said calmly: "I shouldn't have said these words to you. After all, you are just a halberd and you are not qualified to know these things. But what you said is right. I can only trust you here, so I will break the example and tell you clearly. Besides, it may not be a good thing to always let you do things so confusedly."

Meng Bochang sighed slowly and said slowly: "I was from the Imperial College to the Mazhan Camp seven years ago. Now I am the fourth-rank high-level horizontal sword. You and I belong to the Baoli Society, which is not popular. In other words, you and I are both obeying the orders of a general manager."

Yang Hao took a sip of mutton oil soup and felt a little frigid in his throat, so he asked for a cup of tea and asked again: "We are Baoli Society? So, there are many factions in the Sama Horse Camp?"

Meng Bochang replied: "It's not too many, it's divided into four schools: Yuanhe Society, Changqing Society, Baoli Society, and Yamato Society. Yuanhe Society has the largest number of people, and Yamato Society has the strongest power. Changqing Society is sandwiched in the middle. Only our Baoli Society is the Baoli Society because Emperor Jingzong Yu Yu is too short in the country, so he is busy enjoying himself, and now he is almost begging for food."

Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a matter of emperor and minister. It seems that the four societies are not harmonious. Zeng Peijian should not belong to our Baoli societies."

Meng Bochang nodded: "He is from Yamato Society, the real guard of the emperor. This failed the palace transformation and Yamato Society was greatly damaged. Otherwise, how could they get involved with us?" Yang Hao suddenly understood why Zeng Chongyang had always relied on Meng Bochang very much. It turned out that the Tiande Army's righteousness was actually a joint effort by the two families. Although he was of higher qualifications and status than Meng Bochang, he was not a family after all, and he still had to keep decent.

"Where is Brother Han? He seems to be in the same lineage as Zeng Peijian, nor is he in the same lineage as us."

"He is from Yuanheshe. The Yuanheshe has a large number of people and many talents, but he is too heavily stained by Xiao Qingyi. They are divided into gangs and gangs, although they are big but not strong. Do you know? Zheng Zhu is the sword of Yuanheshe. Our General Han was originally from Yuanheshe, but later he switched to Baoli. This time, Baoli and Yamato cooperated with him and Li Xun were the ones who had a quarrel."

"So, Li Xun also has a connection with our Baoli Society. I always give this person a flashy but unrealistic person, too scheming but not a talented person. I don't know why His Majesty trusts him."

Meng Bochang snorted and said helplessly: "Your Majesty is also forced to do so. Yamato Society is strong but there are no dragons. It's just that the dragon is too big and strong. Your Majesty has already had a grudge against him. Li Xun saw this opportunity and resolutely gave up Baoli and turned to Yamato to gain His Majesty's trust. Before the Palace Transformation, his sword power was even greater than that of Yamato's chief manager. If the Palace Transformation succeeded, he would be the position of Yamato Society as the chief manager!"

Yang Hao said worriedly: "In the past, I only heard that 'the four generals commanded the world, and the generals with swords were high?' They all were all busy with their own tasks. In this way, when will the scattered horse camp be wiped out? Reorganize the dynasty? "

Meng Bochang yawned and said, "It is natural that we cannot be anxious to eliminate major issues in the world. Let's first gain a foothold in Yongfeng and use this as a basis for Xu Tuzhan. When the wings are full, a powerful force will go south to serve the king. At that time, the righteous people from all over the world responded, and the major events will definitely be accomplished in an instant!" Yang Hao saw that he said it lightly and just regarded it as a joke.

After pausing for a moment, Meng Bochang stood up and lowered his voice and said, "In March this spring, the general manager will convene a faceless meeting in Baoli Society in Yongfeng. At that time, he will be more diligent and please him. Maybe he can be promoted to a stern sword. It is common to say, "Is the general wearing sword high?" There are very few swords left Beijing, and there are all stern sword leaders outside the capital."

There is a saying in the Mama Camp that "If you don't leave the capital, you can run across the world with a sword." The sword has a high status. Except for occasionally going out for inspection, they usually stay in the capital to assist the general manager in controlling the world. All prefectures and counties outside the capital are the masters of the sword. As for the low status of the halberd, they can only be subordinate and cannot stand alone.

Speaking of this, Meng Bochang was yawning all over the world. "Sleep for a while and raise your spirits. After noon, we will go to the Meishan Coal Mine to rescue your good brothers."

Only then did Yang Hao realize that Meng Bochang came to Yongfeng late at night, it turned out to be to attack Meishan Coal Mine. Seeing that he was fearless, he seemed to be in a pretentious manner. Yang Hao was still a little worried, so he asked, "Do you want me to go back to the city to mobilize troops to assist?"

"No need," Meng Bochang snorted with his eyes closed, "Their spies are everywhere in your military camp. I call you out to cover up." After Meng Bochang said this, he pulled the blanket and covered his body, and a slight snoring sounded after a moment.

At the beginning of noon, the battalions of the Right Army had assembled, without a passionate pre-war mobilization speech. The troops left the ghost city in turn according to the plan that had been set and entered the Meishan coal mine in four directions. This was Yang Hao's first time participating in the war, and he was both excited and nervous. He asked Meng Bochang to lead the army to attack the east gate of the coal mine from the side, but was flatly rejected by Meng Bochang.

Meng Bochang squinted his eyes and mocked: "Your ability is to lead a few people to confiscate the house and catch people, and direct hundreds of people to fight in the field. Can you do it?"

Yang Hao's face turned red with shame. He did not argue with Meng Bochang. In front of the generals, he had to maintain Meng Bochang's authority. Meng Bochang might also feel that his words were too hurtful, so he calmed down and said, "If there are some battles in the future, you can follow and observe them first." He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I have only a little understanding. Let's see how they fought together."

The "they" mentioned by Meng Bochang refers to the two deputy generals of the Right Army, Ling Tong and Li Tong. Both of them were promoted from soldiers to deputy generals based on military merits. They have been guarding the frontier for many years and are used to fighting. They attack the Meishan Coal Mine, which has only a few hundred guards, are really a piece of cake.

Before the war, Meng Bochang summoned generals above the eighth rank and asked them to discuss the whole day around the sand table. This was a good learning opportunity. When the discussion ended, Meng Bochang, who had been watching coldly, was full of confidence in victory. He did not allow Yang Hao to lead the army, because he was afraid that swords and guns would kill him for no reason, and secondly, he allowed Yang Hao to learn the mystery of using troops with the mentality of an onlooker. Yang Hao quickly understood Meng Bochang's painstaking efforts and couldn't help but become more close to this cold-faced and arrogant boss and brother.

The horn of the attack was blown at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The iron cavalry that was rushing to the long distance, a layer of sweat oozed from each person's forehead when they arrived in Meishan, and the war horses were spraying white air and became very excited and aggressive. The guards at the mountain pass sounded the gong and issued an alarm, and the archers rushed to the earthen wall to shoot arrows. They had to admit that the guards of the Meishan Coal Mine were still very capable, and the fortifications were also very clever. The Right Army was defeated for the first time, but these were within the expected range before the war.

Ling Tong and Li Tong adjusted their tactics in time. They set up a fire bull formation. One hundred bulls with fire ropes tied to their heads and tails rushed towards the main gate frantically. They easily rushed out of the horse, collapsed the earth wall and the watchtower. They drove the guards to frighten and fled in all directions. Li Tong led the horse team to take the opportunity to attack the mining area.

A wooden wall suddenly appeared one mile from the gate to Rio. This was unexpected. There were hundreds of shooting holes left on the wooden wall. As soon as people approached, thousands of arrows were scattered. The soldiers of the Right Army who attacked and shot hard crossbow fell off their horses one after another. Bai Xue in front of the wooden wall was immediately stained with blood. Li Tong urgently ordered the soldiers to abandon the horse and fight in a staging battle. Soldiers formed a group of seven or eight, and slowly advanced with small wooden shields. After paying the cost of dozens of casualties, the vanguard arrived under the wooden wall. The soldiers untied the skins on their waists and poured tinder oil on the wooden wall.

The flames rose up, and the wooden wall suddenly turned into a wall of fire.

Ling Tong led the rear army and horses to force the firewall and jumped into the core area of ​​the coal mine. As soon as the main gate was broken, the other three gates were also lost under the attack inside and outside. Seeing that the situation was over, the coal mine guards collectively surrendered. When Yang Hao and Meng Bochang rushed to the open space at the foot of Meishan, the mine owner Wang Rentong, the steward Zhao Yu, and the guard commander Mandahai were bound by the soldiers and escorted him.

In less than half an hour, the Right Army killed and injured 130 people, which was slightly shorter than the expected time, and the casualties were severe. When the mine owner Wang Rentong was taken to Meng Bochang's horse, he refused to kneel down and said angrily: "I am a friend of your uncle Meng Chu, in terms of age, I am your elder, and the younger generation beats the elders, and you will be repaid." Meng Bochang said: "You have retribution or not, and you have retribution or not." Wang Rentong said in shock: "What do you mean?" Meng Bochang pointed to the dark miners behind him and said to Wang Rentong: "I will give you to them. If they think of your kindness and let you go, I have nothing to say. If they think of old evil and take your life, I will be happy to see it."

When Wang Rentong heard this, his face was ashes. He knelt down on the ground with a thud and begged, "I beg you, as long as I let me go, I would rather give my life savings." Meng Bochang scolded, "Do you think I am greedy for your few taels of silver?" Wang Rentong quickly changed his words and said, "No, no, the general has great ambitions, so he naturally doesn't like these. You said, what you want, as long as Wang has, Wang will give it."

Meng Bochang glanced at Yang Hao and asked with a smile: "What do we want?" Yang Hao was about to answer when he heard a cry, and a group of colorful female relatives ran out of the manor west of Meishan. The soldiers formed a wall of humans to stop the girls. Li Tong blew his sword and shouted: "If you dare to cry again, kill me, don't worry!" The girls suddenly heard this.
