It has been half a month since Lu Xiang has been promoted to Taiyuan. At this time, the new recruits have not yet arrived to report, but the camp has been smoothed by him and his personal guards. On this day, he was leading a group of personal guards to divide the area. A convoy of horse-drawn carts slowly drove towards the camp. The convoy's carts were one by one, and they were endless for countless miles. At first glance, they couldn't see the end!

Lu Xiangsheng was not surprised at the arrival of the convoy. Fan Yongdou, the shopkeeper of the Shanxi Branch of Rixinglong, informed him a few days ago that goods would be sent over in a row in the near future and asked him to prepare for acceptance. Isn’t he taking his personal guards to divide the area? Five thousand men and twenty squares were divided into one block.

It was indeed the Rixinglong convoy. Fan Yongdou's heartfelt laughter was heard from a distance: "Hahahaha, Governor, Mr. Fan is delivering goods to you."

After a few years, Lu Xiangsheng and Fan Yongdou were considered old acquaintances. He still valued this veteran military supplies. After all, they had been providing military supplies for decades, which was much more experienced than him, the governor of Xinzha. Hearing Fan Yongdou's laughter, he personally greeted him and bowed, "Thank you all the way to the storekeeper Fan."

Fan Yongdou quickly replied, "Mr. Governor praised it. Fan just ate this bowl of rice. What's the hard work of delivering a piece of goods? But the Governor didn't enjoy it in Taiyuan City, but he personally brought people to this level camp, which is admirable."

Lu Xiangsheng's old face was blushed by his horse, and he blew it off, causing a break from the topic: "If you don't talk about this, don't talk about this, how many goods have you sent this time?"

Fan Yongdou introduced it carefully: "The cotton coats, boots, quilts, military tents, grains and 30,000 kilograms of forage were loaded with two thousand carts. There was no way, there were only so many carriages in the business, and they could only be sent to you in batches."

Lu Xiangsheng understood: "It's good to have two thousand carriages. Just batch by batch. Anyway, it will take more than ten days to arrive for the recruits, so you can send them all at that time."

The two of them had been polite for a long time, and the convoy had gradually entered the camp. Fan Yongdou asked quickly: "I wonder where this guy is unloading you?"

Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the two pieces in front of him and the guard camp and saw a square open space and said, "Release them in those two pieces, unload them halfway, just pile them next to my guard camp, so that it is convenient for guarding."

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he bowed and said, "The villain is going to make arrangements now."

After saying that, he ran to the convoy.

Before the supplies were discharged, a dense sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. More than a thousand cavalry and Ming troops lined up in four-way charge formations, and led by a general in armor, rushed towards the camp.

The guards present were startled and took off the flintlock rifles on their backs, pulled out the bayonets from their waists, gathered behind Lu Xiangsheng, and bayonets on the guns. The people in the Rixinglong Convoy's face turned pale, and they looked at the cavalry quickly approaching in panic, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng was so amused that he knew who was coming. However, the situation was too scary. He quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone, it's your own."

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. This formation looked too much like the Later Jin Iron Cavalry. Although they were wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, who knew whether they were the Ming army? Huang Taiji was famous for having sneak attacks!

In fact, it was not the Iron Cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, but the Iron Cavalry of Guanning. Zhu Cijing was very caring about the Five Tiger Generals under his command, especially Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng. Although they were both famous generals, they were all affairs of the Chongzhen Dynasty. They had just emerged from the thatched cottage in Chongzheng Dynasty.

Shanxi and Shaanxi are the old nests of the peasant uprising army. Zhu Cijiong was a little worried after all, but don’t give up the two famous generals because of his carelessness. He was really crying. So he sent a ban of eight hundred miles to go to Liaodong, asking Gongsun Chengzong of the Zhenguo to transfer two powerful generals to assist them.

Sun Chengzong's subordinates are like many powerful generals. Zhao Lujiao, Mangui, Zu Dashou, He Kegang need not be said. They are all fierce generals who are desperate. Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dabi were also fierce men who trembled when they saw the iron cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. He naturally had no objection to both.

It just so happened that his subordinates were full, and powerful generals like Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dabi could only be promoted to deputy generals and allowed them to make meritorious contributions in the northwest. Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were both governors, and there were still some generals under him.

Anyway, Zhu Cijing also informed him that there would not be a war in Liaodong in the past two years, and it was mainly about defense, so it would be a waste to let these two stay in Liaodong.

So, he recommended Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dabi to Zhu Cijiu without hesitation, and he also had the intention of asking Zhu Cijiu to promote them.

How fierce were Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dabi?

According to historical records, Cao Wenzhao often led one or two thousand Guanning cavalry to pursue tens of thousands of peasant uprising troops, and he won every time. It is conceivable how fierce this guy was. In the end, because he was too fierce, he actually led three thousand light cavalry to pursue Li Zicheng's 200,000 main force, but was besieged by tens of thousands of iron cavalry and committed suicide.

Later generations praised the poem: There was a Cao in the army, and the bandits fled when they heard the news. It can be seen that his bravery is famous.

Zu Dabi may be inferior to Cao Wenzhao's leadership of troops to fight, so he has no achievements, but he is more brave than Cao Wenzhao. This guy is nicknamed "Zu Erlangzi", and Cao Wenzhao has to bring at least a thousand cavalry to rush into the enemy's formation. This guy dares to rush into tens of thousands of enemy troops alone!

If a man rushed into tens of thousands of enemy troops, he could kill hundreds of people, so his achievements were not as good as Cao Wenzhao, but his courage was not inferior to Cao Wenzhao at all. According to historical records, Aobai, the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, had fought with Zu Dabi, but Obai was beaten by Zu Dabi so much that he wanted to escape, but he could not escape.

Huang Taiji was still very scheming and shouted in the distance: "It's been a long time since we fought. Both warriors are hungry. It's better to go back to the camp and fight after they have enough."

Zu Erlangzi realized that he was really hungry, so he let go and asked Obai to return to the camp. As a result, when he was full, he came to call the battle, but Obai never dared to fight again. Zu Dabi's courage can be seen from this.

Zhu Cijing naturally heard of these two fierce men. It was better for Sun Chengzong to recommend them. He directly promoted the two to generals and asked them to lead a thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry to assist Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. At the same time, based on Liaodong's previous achievements, a group of generals were promoted to the Liaodong Army and went to assist together.

The powerful general Cao Wenzhao came to assist Lu Xiangsheng. He led a group of generals and a thousand Guanning cavalry to a mile outside the camp and raised his hand and shouted: "Slow down."

When Lu Xiangsheng was still a hundred meters away, he raised his hand and shouted, "Stop."

More than a thousand cavalry were stationed neatly a hundred meters in front of Lu Xiangsheng. Cao Wenzhao and other generals turned over and dismounted, came to Lu Xiangsheng, and knelt on one knee and said aloud:

The last general, the vanguard general of the Tianxiong Army, Cao Wenzhao;

The last general, the deputy general of Tianxiong Army, Zhang Hongye;

The last general, the general of Tianxiong Army, Wang Chengyin;

The last general, General of Tianxiong Army, Zhang Shujia;

The last general Tianxiong Army guerrillas, Li Mingfu;

At the end, the Tianxiong Army was guerrilla, Zuo Guangxian;

The last general Tianxiong Army guerrillas, Cui Zongyin;

The last general Tianxiong Army guerrillas, Li Guoqi;

See Governor.”
