This time, not only were there more than 200,000 soldiers crossing the river, but also 100,000 young and strong men. The food and grass they carried could be eaten by more than 300,000 people for a full half year.

It's completely an expedition.

These young and strong men are all bachelors. Although they are no longer military, they also eat imperial grain. For such young and strong men, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Henan, and they are all refugees who escaped from the north. Kaifeng, Nanyang and Runing have no extra land, so these people usually arrange to build railroad subgrades. This time, Hongying took out a total of 100,000 people to ensure the logistics of the army.

With these people, the army of more than 200,000 really needs to do nothing. Apart from marching and fighting, they just eat and sleep, and accumulate energy.

It took more than 300,000 people to add a large amount of food and supplies in Shanghai, and it took three days to cross the river and reach the north bank.

Except for Cao Bianjiao who led two cavalry battalions, still stayed on the south bank, fifteen towns, eight independent battalions, and one not left, even the 20,000 National Guards were responsible for defending Kaifeng City.

Dusk is approaching.

At this time, the north bank camp had just finished dinner. As a long horn sounded, officers above the captain rushed to the central army commander's tent, with more than one hundred people.

Although the handsome tent was large, it could not accommodate so many people. Only more than twenty generals wearing bright light armor and red cloak could enter the tent to discuss matters. Hundreds of other lieutenants wearing black black armor and green cloak could only stand outside the tent, and the cloth door of the tent was also removed.

"Are everyone here?"

"Return to the general, all officers above the captain were absent." Qin Meng went out and replied with his fist.

"Well, let's sit all!" Hongying then swung her cloak and sat down.

"Thank you, General!" More than 20 generals sat down one after another, and for a moment, there was a sound of armor. Compared to the generals inside, there was a small stool, the captain outside could only stand.

"Everyone knows the situation. At this time, my army of more than 300,000 had all crossed the Yellow River, with abundant food and grass and high morale. Everyone talked about how to fight this battle!"

The Red Warbler is not talking too much.

Everyone was talking and began to rush to fight, obviously their fighting spirit was very high.

"General, the last general thinks that our army should take advantage of the fact that the Later Jin army had not yet advanced south, and quickly take down Jining, Yanzhou and other places with lightning speed. First, wrap up Nador around and annihilate north of Xuzhou, and then head north."

Qin Meng jumped out the first time.

Qin Yong was not willing to be outdone, and stood up and yelled: "Yes, Dorgon's grandson only has 30,000 cavalry. After my army crossed the river, he did not retreat to Shandong. He dared to continue to stay near Xuzhou. He was simply crazy and did not take my hundreds of thousands of troops seriously. He asked for a fight and was willing to lead a member to cut off their retreat day and night."

"Qin Yong, this was first proposed by me. Do you still understand the rules?" Qin Meng suddenly became anxious.

"Farting, this tactic even a three-year-old child knows, but you are faster than me." Qin Yong roared without showing any weakness.

The two of them stared at each other and they quarreled a lot. Even fighting was common. The generals did not dare to fight with them. Qin Wu, the only qualified to fight with them, had a relatively gentle temper, but Qin Wu did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime battle.

After all, a few brothers, except for Qin Wen and the other two who died in battle, Qin Feng, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, Qin Tie and Qin Shuang, all became the commanders of the corps. Even Qin Yi, the boy, left his luck and stayed with His Majesty, and became the deputy commander of the First Legion. It would be a matter of time before they became regular commanders, but the only three of them were still Lieutenant General and the General of the Town.

"General, let me go. Both Qin Yong and Qin Meng are brave and unscheming. If you are a general, you can't be a general. You must be a general. In the battle of Xiangyang, you must be aware of the attack on Gucheng."

"Qin Wu, you little damn young man is talking sarcastic here. I can't be handsome, can you do it?"

"Qin Wu, I don't know how much you guy is? Don't put garlic on your nose here. I've done something about attacking Gucheng back then, but at least I have led a single army alone. What about you?"

"Why haven't I led the army alone? When I attacked Heishi Town, Your Majesty asked me to lead my brothers to support Qin Feng, and then he rescued his wife safely in time."

"Haha, you guys have the shame to mention this matter. He brought fifty brothers to beat twenty servants, and still attacked Qin Feng. As a result, more than a dozen people ran away. Is he still so embarrassed to show off now?"

"Brother Meng, I don't agree with you. You don't know what happened back then. Now, I'll kill dozens of servants by myself."

"good!"

Several young veterans who survived back then were proud of being able to rescue his wife safely, but what Qin Meng said was useless, and suddenly jumped out with a blushing face. The thin and short soldiers who used to be tall and big now are either major generals or lieutenant generals.

"What, you are not convinced?" Qin Meng paused.

Speaking of which, everyone's qualifications are similar to his, but they were simply not the first place in the assessment and were not given a name, but they were really afraid of him, let alone Qin Wu took the lead.

For a moment, there was a quarrel in the hall, with more than 20 people pushing and swearing, and cursing. Although most of the more than 100 lieutenants outside were promoted from the young soldiers at the time, their qualifications were simply not comparable to those of the young men who joined Gucheng. They were all happy to watch the show outside, and even some even cheered.

There is no way, the officers of this army are really too young, with an average age of twenty, but they all crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They are all full of energy and no one will really impress anyone.

"Stop talking. This battle is related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. How can you let such a joke? It's simply...it's so angry!"

Hongying was about to slap the table when she fell and got angry, but Lu Xiangsheng stood up first. Her old face not only turned red, but her chest was also fluttering violently. She pointed at everyone and shouted, obviously she had reached the point where she could not bear it anymore.

"Old guy, I have long disliked you. I have to cut you off today..."

"Damn..."

Everyone was stunned at first, then they were furious and rushed towards Lu Xiangsheng together.

"Smack!"

"Everyone is going to jump to the sky, right? Have you not hit military sticks some days and your skin is itchy?"

Hongying slapped the table several times one after another, and her hands were slapped red, then she stood up and shouted in a slight manner.

Everyone was startled and stopped immediately. They calmed down in an instant and quickly retreated. Only Qin Meng and Qin Yong were still following their necks, panting, and glaring at Lu Xiangsheng.

"Okay! I think you two want to be on the general and are crazy. Why don't we change it?"

When Hongying saw the two of them being so angry that she laughed at her husband, she kicked the co-pilot out with one kick.

"Don't dare!"

The two of them lowered their heads in a buzzing voice.

"Hmph, what else do you two dare not?" Hongying snorted coldly and came to the hall before shouting: "Where is the military judge?"

A large captain outside the tent ran in quickly.

"Qin Meng and Qin Yong, who was not in charge of the commander, dragged them out and beat twenty military sticks, while the rest of the commanders lost their responsibilities and beat ten military sticks."

"yes!"

This Grand Captain was a scholar soldier, about thirty years old. He has only been in the Qin army for two years and has not made any achievements so far. Even the Grand Captain was promoted to the extraordinary. How dare he control these veteran figures?

The Second Corps not only had the judges of the army, the logistics officers, the staff officers, etc., but they were all the chief officers. The power and the rank were seriously mismatched, and there was no way to do so. If the ranks of these civilian personnel were promoted to generals all at once, what would the young soldiers who had been corpses who had been alive and died until now?

More than 20 young generals were bachelors. Before the guards came in, they quickly walked out to lead the army.

After a while of sex, everyone returned to the handsome tent, half of their butts were next to the stool, staring at each other, and becoming much more honest.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng finally understood why Qin Yu wanted to let the imperial concubine be the commander of the Second Legion, which was a helpless move.

Because judging from this situation, I am afraid that except Qin Yu himself, this female bandit can barely suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals.

After all, according to his understanding, Hongying has good qualifications in the Chinese army and has good personal martial arts. She has always been Qin Yu's right-hand man. The most important point is that she is the identity of the empress, otherwise she may not be able to hold back.

This is true. The reason why Qin Meng and the others obeyed Hong Ying's will was because she was Qin Yu's woman, and everyone could not beat her, so they could not fight back and scold her.

Lu Xiangsheng was actually right. Qin Yu asked Hong Ying to command the most powerful Second Legion. In addition to her not betrayal, there was also no suitable candidate. After all, he could not transfer the Second Legion to Nanjing, or he would go to Kaifeng to take charge by himself.

For this reason, he had to stuff Qin Meng, Qin Yong, Qin Wu, and the surviving young and old Gucheng into the Second Legion.

In this way, Qin Tie and Qin Shuang commanded the Third Legion and the Fourth Legion, and no one dared to stand up and sing a counter-tune. Most of the officers of the Fifth Legion were young soldiers and surrendered generals who later joined.

However, for more than two hundred years I brought from Gucheng, there are only a few dozen left now, and the lowest one is the Major General and the commander of the Independent Battalion.
