Although Chenqing's humility and respect made Hongdu realize that his chances of commanding the Shaoyang Army again were slim, he didn't care much about that position because he was already impressed.
After leaving Hongdu's camp, Chenqing did not rest because everyone's answer sheets had been completed and he needed to review them immediately.
When the sky turned white, everyone's positions were finally determined. They were: Mo Han joined the army, Jiang Zhongtian was the acting general, fat Gou Qi and thin Liang Zan were both deputy generals. Gao Hui and He Qiuyu had no positions and continued to be their protector immortals.
.
"Acting General?! General, this..."
The commander-in-chief of an army usually represents the commander. Jiang Zhongtian was naturally shocked when he heard that he was the commander-in-chief.
Chen Qing interrupted him and said with a smile:
"Uncle Jiang, my adoptive father once said that one has the ability to bear the same responsibility. Chen Qing knows that he is not qualified yet and has a lot to learn, so for the time being, he can only work hard for Uncle Jiang. I hope Uncle Jiang will not refuse.
.”
Hearing this, Jiang Zhongtian looked shocked and subconsciously turned his head to look at Mo Han, only to see Mo Han nodding and smiling:
"Qing'er's ambition is not here. The little commander of an army can't keep him. Don't you just want to show off your grand ambitions? Haha, since this important task has been entrusted to you, you should spread your wings and do your best. Don't humiliate Qing.
My son’s trust is good!”
"good!"
After hearing Mo Han's words, Jiang Zhongtian's face glowed red, he turned around and gave a military salute to Chen Qing, and said solemnly:
"Jiang Zhongtian takes the order!"
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang!"
At the same time, Gao Hui and He Qiuyu, who were somewhat unwilling to accept their appointment, couldn't help but pick up the answer sheets on the table and read through them. Chen Qing didn't stop them. After browsing through them in a hurry, they couldn't help but look at each other.
He showed a wry smile.
No wonder I don't know. After seeing a few people's answer papers, I realized that these casual cultivators are extraordinary, especially Mo Han and Jiang Zhongtian. The former is extremely intelligent and thoughtful, while the latter is well-organized and arranges his troops as freely as flowing clouds and flowing water...
...No wonder the two became good friends.
As for why Gou Qi and Liang Zan, who were not much better than each other, were deputy generals, they had no objection. After all, those two were familiar with Jiang Zhongtian and worked well together, while they themselves were used to being in love with each other.
It was natural to choose those two as lieutenants.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have figured it out, Chen Qing was very happy and asked Han Dao to prepare wine and food for a banquet. Seeing that they were enjoying themselves at the banquet, Chen Qing asked the doubts in his heart:
"Uncle Mo, since you and Uncle Jiang have known each other for a long time, why didn't you start a career on your own with Uncle Jiang and the others earlier?"
When asked about this, Mo Han smiled bitterly and said:
"The most difficult thing is to make a choice. I suffered enough as a casual cultivator, but after joining the Hou family, I felt comfortable. If I hadn't been valued by the Hou family, if I hadn't been forced by your adoptive father, it would have been impossible for you, Uncle Mo, and me.
Have the courage to come out."
"choose?!"
Chen Qing looked surprised, then thoughtful.
Mohan nodded and said:
"Yes, it's choice! When the road ahead is uncertain, choice becomes the most difficult thing. What people fear most is facing the unknown."
Chenqing nodded silently, keeping this sentence firmly in mind, and at the same time couldn't help but ask in her heart:
"My adoptive father has gone through many twists and turns in his life to achieve his current achievements. He must have also experienced a lot of hardships, right? What about me? What will I encounter in the future?"
…………
On a day's notice, when I saw that the person who had taken over Hongdu was none other than Jiang Zhongtian, the top brass in the army couldn't help but be astonished, wondering why Chen Qing, who was considered so outstanding by everyone, would do this.
Half a month later, after General Kong Ling of the Zhengyang Army learned the news that three billion troops from the Central Continent were crossing the sea, he did not dare to wait any longer and ordered Shaoyang to join the army. Lieyang and the main army of Zhengyang attacked across the board, led by Shenxiao Sect.
The coalition forces wanted to defeat this group of people before the Central Continent's army came, so that the world's army could attack them.
Get ready for the five billion army - both he and the princes in the court regarded the five billion army as the enemy, because the leading troops of the Ares Mountain were once driven into the sea by the empire of the world, so they thought that these
This is to coordinate the northern offensive against the Empire of Heaven in a flanking attack.
On that day, Chiang Kai-shek, who was occupying the position of chief general, and the generals of the Shaoyang Army gathered together to split the two sides.
In the center of the camp was a huge war sand table. The terrain of the Jinxia Mountains that the Shaoyang Army was about to attack was shrunk countless times and appeared on it.
Chen Qing and Han Dao each stood next to the sand table holding small red and white flags of different sizes. The largest flag represented the number of tens of millions, followed by millions, followed by one hundred thousand.
When Jiang Zhongtian gave the order, the two of them, under Mo Han's instructions, planted the flags according to the layout of the two armies.
After the military situation diagram was completed, Jiang Zhongtian's eyes, which had not yet recovered from the sand table, saw Jiang Zhongtian stand up and come to the sand table, holding a long stick to make arrangements:
"Where is Wen Chao?!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead your troops to sweep this area, and be sure to clear out everyone in this area before dawn tomorrow. There must be no mistakes. If there is one person, military law will be engaged!"
As his words fell, Han Dao quickly pulled up the flag belonging to Wen Chao and inserted it into the circle.
"The last general..."
Hearing this strange arrangement, Million General Wen Chao couldn't help but be stunned, but after seeing Chen Qing's cold eyes, he quickly jumped up and said solemnly:
"I will obey your orders!"
"Where is Lian He?!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead your troops to sweep this area. Be sure to clear out everyone in this area before dawn tomorrow. There must be no mistakes. If there is one person, military law will be engaged!"
"I will obey your orders!"
…
After arranging five areas, his long stick was pointed at three tens of millions of flags:
"Lu Zhennan, Yan Si, where is Hu Zhaoran?"
"The end is here!"
"Tomorrow we will attack Huacheng, Dayan Town and Dangyan Mountain with all our strength!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Because Wen Chao had learned from his past mistakes that he was not happy with the situation, although everyone was filled with doubts, they did not dare to say anything and immediately accepted the order.
Afterwards, Jiang Zhongtian’s long stick was pointed at the camp:
"Where is Gouqi?!"
"The end is here!"
"Immediately select 100 million elites from the Chinese Army. Before dark today, I want to see these people outside the camp!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Then he clicked on the right army:
"Liang Zan, where is Deng Zhong?"
"The end is here!"
"I order you two to be the vanguard, with Liang Zan as the chief general and Deng Zhong as the deputy general. You must lead the right army to advance to the front before noon, and you must arrive here before destiny tomorrow!"
"I will obey your orders!"
…
"Hua Mingxue, where is Huang Gao?!"
"The end is here!"
"I order you two to lead the left army, with Hua Mingxue as the chief general and Huang Gao as the deputy general. You must lead the left army to advance to the left before noon. After arriving at the seaside, you must quickly retreat. You must join the right army at dawn tomorrow.
Meet here!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Go for it!"
"..."
Everyone was shocked and couldn't figure out what he was doing, but they had no choice but to follow his orders and leave.
After sunset that day, 100 million elites, led by Gou Qi, left the camp and disappeared.
The Chinese army pressed forward, as if they were going to engage in a head-on battle with the enemy's main force. However, what was strange was that the Chinese army was led by Chen Qing and Mo Han, and its general, Jiang Zhongtian, was nowhere to be found.
This move was dizzying. Not only the top management of the other side, who received the tip from the spies, were unclear about the situation, but even the commanders of the Zhengyang Army and Lieyang Army were confused about the situation. However, seeing that the Shaoyang Army not only assumed a posture of wanting to fight, the three parties
Tens of millions of legions also launched a fierce attack and did not disobey the military order of "attack on all fronts". They could not say much.
At dawn the next day, the left and right armies and the central army separately attacked two large local cities.
Since the enemy was outnumbered, the enemy camp chose to retreat into the city and hold on, but...the two armies surrounded and refused to attack.
Just when they were feeling puzzled, bad news came. Jiang Zhongtian and Gou Qi led an elite army of 100 million to break through a large city garrisoned by 300 million people.
This is really bad news. The destruction of this city is equivalent to a gap in the defense. The army of the world can use this to expand the results of the war inland. As long as they move quickly enough and send a large army to gather in depth to cut off the retreat, these two
A big city will become an isolated city!
Then, everyone received news that these 100 million elites had escaped from one of the five no-man's lands and entered their own sphere of influence. Only then did they realize that this was a surprise attack, and that these 100 million elites were the secret trump card!
As soon as they learned the news, the generals of the two big cities immediately ordered a breakout. However, only one side succeeded in breaking out. The other side had been surrounded by an iron wall and was unable to break out. It took only half a day for the other side to be defeated.
Total annihilation!
At this point, everyone understood that it turned out that the side that broke through was deliberately let go by Jiang Zhongtian. His real purpose was to eat all the people on the other side. He had no intention of cutting off the escape route and trying to capture the two!
"Amazing! So insidious, ruthless, and decisive...but also so generous!"
After receiving the good news, General Kong Ling of the Zhengyang Army could not help but make this judgment:
"How dare you use such a person? That kid is not simple!"
Then, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack across the board to prevent the enemy from rushing to reinforce and rearrange the defense line.
Three days later, the Shaoyang Army broke through the hastily arranged defense line like a sharp knife. Because the enemies elsewhere were tightly held by the Zhengyang and Lieyang Army, they were unable to rush to rescue. In the end, many senior leaders of the coalition had no choice but to order the defense line to
Retreat the entire line and rearrange the defense line.
Although they knew that once this order was issued, the Zhengyang Army and Lieyang Army who were determined to fight would definitely pursue them crazily and the losses would be immeasurable. However, they were unable to do so. If they did not do this, when the Shaoyang Army penetrated deeper, they would turn around.
The legions blocking the two armies will be encircled, and the losses will be unimaginable!
More importantly, after seeing that this side had successfully breached the breach and expanded it wantonly, Emperor Leng had already dispatched one billion reserve troops to rush for reinforcements. Since the order was issued quickly enough and the rescue speed was fast enough, it was impossible for them to defeat Shaoyang.
When the army was defeated or rushed back, all it could do now was to shrink its strength and twist it into one force.
On the fourth day, the Shaoyang Army stopped going deep. While consolidating their victory, they also detached an elite force to intercept the enemy forces being pursued by the Lieyang Army.
Three days later, the battle came to an end. Due to the breakthrough of the Shaoyang Army, the Shenxiao Sect and other major forces lost nearly one-third of their territory and more than one-tenth of their manpower, about 470 million.
.
However, everyone knew that this was just a brief calm before the storm, because reinforcements had arrived, and once the arrangements were completed, the decisive battle would begin.
At this time, it is undoubtedly a good choice to take advantage of the reinforcements' unstable foothold and launch a surprise counterattack. However, the coalition forces have not yet completed the consolidation of the defense line and do not have this ability at all.
This battle made Jiang Zhongtian's name spread throughout the world. Soon after, when the news spread that Chen Qing was the real commander of the Shaoyang Army, it pushed Chen Qing to a new level. Some people once asserted that: the next generation of heroes will be the first.
, it has nothing to do with earthly emotions.
Leng Xiaoxi naturally knew the truth behind a big tree attracting wind, so naturally this 'assertion' could not have come from her side. After many inquiries, she found that the person who released the news turned out to be Wanbao Pavilion!
"Wanbao Pavilion..."
Leng Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile, an extremely cold smile, then took out the sound transmission jade that Zhang Baoer left for her and ordered:
"Spread the word immediately that Attacking Tianmen is the power supported by Wanbao Pavilion!"
Wanbao Pavilion is extremely mysterious. Of course, she has no definite evidence to prove the authenticity of this matter, but it is not important. It is enough to know that these two parties are enemies of the emperor's power.
Then, he walked into the court hall, and the princes in the court naturally congratulated him immediately:
"Great victory in the southeast, congratulations to the great emperor!"
"Congratulations to the emperor for acquiring such a good general as Jiang Zhongtian. Now that an army of one billion has arrived, I believe this cancer will be eradicated soon!"
…
Feng Yixiao secretly gritted his teeth with anger. Although no one mentioned Chen Qing, how could he not know that this matter was closely related to Chen Qing? Now that Zhang Baoer's nephew, whom he secretly designated as his love rival, had a great victory, how could he
Be happy?
Originally, I was planning to wait for Chen Qing to turn out to be unfavorable and take part in his book, but now... not only can't talk nonsense, but I also have to keep smiling when the princes are congratulating me.
After quitting the court for a long time, Feng Yixiao returned to the mansion with a heavy heart. The fact that Chen Qing did not receive the reward did not make him happy, but made him extremely solemn, because he knew that the more this happened, the more it proved that Chen Qing was in Leng Xiaoxi's heart.
The higher the weight - she didn't want Chenqing's limelight to go any further, and was worried that other forces would do whatever it took to pinch off the seedlings.
After pondering for half the night, he took out a sound transmission jade:
"Father, I will help you take the lives of the Shan family and the Lin family!"
Not long after, a reply came from the Sound Transmission Jade:
"what would you like?"
After struggling for a long time, Feng Yixiao replied:
"Zhang Bao'er, Gu You and Chen Qing's fate!"
Hearing this, the other party seemed to be lost in thought, and after a long time he replied:
"Gu You is too involved, it's impossible! Zhang Bao'er is even more impossible. The higher-ups are interested in him, but they want him but don't want his life... What's more, no one knows where he is."
"Hey... let's just say it's Chenqing!"
“It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!”
After putting away the sound-transmitting jade, Feng Yixiao looked in the direction of the Thanksgiving Hall and sighed quietly:
