Unexpectedly, the ice rain in early spring will last for seven or eight days. It is intermittent, but the mud on the road has never dried.

It turned out that the Han King's Central Army expected that he would take the rest of the road in six or seven days to reach Guizhou City; but until the eighth day of the first lunar month, Liu Ying's troops were still nearly a hundred miles away from Guizhou.

In the afternoon of that day, the army recruited a village, and each unit camped around. All the houses and eaves in the village were crowded with people, but only a small number of people could live in. Everyone was muddy and exhausted, and they built grass and wood sheds and tart tents on the camp, but finally stopped.

After Liu Ying inspected the camps of various troops, although he could see the fatigue of the soldiers, he believed that the morale of the Han Wang Army was still good at this time. Without encountering enemy attacks, the brothers could continue to endure for a while.

It was the seventh day after he parted with the King of Han. Only then did he realize that he thought carefully about what the King of Han said to him.

In those words, Liu Ying understood the principles of not being greedy for merit and taking into account the overall situation. The King of Han once again said it was just an emphasis on strategy.

After victory, Liu Ying could roughly guess that he was granted a title of Duke. After all, he was just a remark to punish the crimes of the heavens and killing traitors. The King of Han was fighting for the throne... If the King of Han did not compete for the throne, everyone would not want to! If the King of Han became the emperor, the direct military generals under his command would not be without rewards.

For some reason, the old childhood stories mentioned by the King of Han at the beginning were lingering in Liu Ying's mind. That was the King of Han was very happy to go to his uncle's house when he was a child.

Gradually, Liu Ying also recalled some things from his childhood.

Back then, Liu Ying rarely went to his uncle's house, but instead often went to his aunt's house. The aunt married an official from a hundred households, and the 100 households were only more than ten miles away from Liu Ying's house, perhaps twenty miles away, so I can't remember it clearly.

His aunt has a son who is several years older than Liu Ying, and is his cousin. Liu Ying goes to her aunt's house to play and often sleeps in the same bed with her cousin...

When Liu Ying thought of this, she felt her face hot and she reached out to rub her cheeks. Until now, he didn't know whether her cousin had a weird habit of liking boys or whether it was because Liu Ying looked like a girl when she was a child.

However, Liu Ying thought he had no such hobby because he liked beautiful women now. When he thought of what he had done to him, he felt very humiliated and angry; he also had some fear! Because he occasionally had a curious idea and wanted to try it again! But this kind of thing hurts the face of a real man who he always cared about, so every time he had such thoughts, he felt very scared.

Liu Ying is a person who cares very much about self-esteem and face. When he was a child, he looked like a woman, so many people thought he was easy to bully and always teased him. At that time, Liu Ying would be very fierce, indicating that although he looked like a mother, he had a brave heart!

However, although he never wanted to admit it, he could not deceive himself. He was a person who was strong outside and was a man who was strong inside. When he was a child, he fought and grew up to fight. He was very scared every time and was a very cautious person in secret.

Therefore, he was even more afraid of his brothers, especially his subordinates, who saw through him. His words and deeds deliberately showed his radical and bravery and fearlessness. Even the King of Han believed that he was such a person.

Liu Ying scratched her head and heard a voice saying, "Governor Liu!" "Gours to Governor Liu!"

He came to his senses and saw a group of soldiers in front of him coming out of the straw hut and saluting here.

"No tribute." Liu Ying raised her head and looked majestic and angry, but asked in a more gentle manner, "Brothers, can you still hold on to the march tomorrow?"

A young general clasped his fists and said, "Return to Governor Liu, this bad road is just tiring when walking, so there is no problem!"

Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction, "What's your name?"

The young general said: "The last general is Yin Desheng, a guard of Yunnan, a hundred households."

Liu Ying looked back and said, "Brothers like Yin Baihu who are not afraid of difficulties are the mainstay of the army. Yin Baihu worked hard to kill the enemy and made contributions. I will ask for merits and promotions for you."

"Governor Liu decided to forget the last general..." Yin Desheng said, "In the battle of peace, the last general was almost sentenced to death by Governor Liu. Fortunately, you have shown mercy."

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person, "In the Nanhukou battlefield, you are the first person to run away in the battle?"

Yin Desheng hurriedly said, "Governor Liu Mingjian, it's really not to blame the generals, otherwise you wouldn't show mercy! Most of the people under the generals were supplemented by military officials. They only know how to farm and do nothing. They have never been to the battlefield, and they will collapse if they go up..."

Liu Ying felt very embarrassed. He praised this guy just now, but he mentioned that messy matter!

"Now you are still those people under your command?" Liu Ying asked.

Yin Desheng said: "A lot of soldiers were replaced. In the battle of Taiping Field, the Hundred Houses under the Mo General was defeated first, and was asked by General Qian to make up for the merits. He led his brothers to the forefront, and more than half of the casualties were killed or injured. Later, he arrived in Chengdu City and went up to the peak to make up for many Sichuan military households for the Mo General. These brothers were better than before, but they were not easy to understand."

"Military law is ruthless, rewards and punishments are appropriate! You should do it yourself!" Liu Ying said. Then he immediately left here and went to patrol somewhere else.

...Yin Desheng stood in the mud with his fists. When the generals were away, he straightened his waist and looked at the general's back as if he was thinking.

"I can not only farm, but also make irons." A voice said.

Yin Desheng turned around and saw that each man was half a head taller than Yin Desheng. The big and thick men stood behind him. It was Liu Dagen. Everyone in the Century Team called him "old blacksmith". Liu Dagen was not old, but he was very young, but he was too old and looked like a middle-aged man with a beard.

"Why don't you go to the governor and go with him? You can recognize a relative." Yin Desheng said angrily.

Liu Dagen said seriously: "There are too many people in the world who are surnamed Liu, and Governor Liu is afraid he won't recognize me."

The soldiers around him laughed "hehe".

Yin Desheng cursed Liu Dagen again, with iron lumps in his head, returned to the wet straw shed, and lay straight on the thatch on the ground.

This time, although Yin Desheng's right-sweeping troops followed Governor Liu, they did not fight with Liu Ying. After they arrived in Guizhou, they stopped moving forward and were waiting there to prepare to attack the city!

So Yin Desheng is still quite honest. He did not lie in front of the general. He really didn't think that there was anything wrong with trekking in the mud for a few days... Compared to the horror scene in Annandobon City, it is indeed not a big deal.

It was still very bright outside, but the low grass hut built casually was very dark. Yin Desheng walked in the mud all day and couldn't stand the tiredness and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, someone called him in dialect: “Yin Baihu, I’m 'bullying'!”

Yin Desheng suddenly woke up, feeling his chest as big as thunder. He responded and walked out a little confusedly. The Sichuan military household next to him asked again: "Hundred households have nightmares?"

Yin Desheng nodded, and then he felt the chill in early spring, his whole body was chilling, but his head was covered in sweat.

The sky outside was gradually dimming, and fires were burning everywhere, and fires were everywhere. Yin Desheng couldn't remember most of the scenes in his dreams, but there were still mountains of corpses, full of arrows and guns, and screams from his broken limbs and arms.

The veteran Liu Dahan, who came out of Yunnan, died in the battlefield of Taiping. However, in Yin Desheng's heart, Old Man Liu has a good destination, with a coffin and a grave... Those brothers who died in Duobon City were piled up together, and it was like being slaughtered.

Siege, this time it's another attack!

...The next morning, the weather finally cleared. Liu Ying's troops set out to camp early in the morning. The army walked on the official road for nearly half an hour, and the rising sun in the east slowly rose. After the rain, the sky was clear, the air was fresh, and the green mountains between the world looked clearer.

Only then did Yin Desheng see that new buds had sprouted on the treetops on the roadside. Although the weather was still very cold, the breath of spring had arrived unconsciously.

As soon as the sun shines, the roads are completely dried in the afternoon, and the army's marching speed begins to accelerate.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, the front army units walked around Guishan along the official road at the foot of Guishan; soon after, Guizhou City appeared in people's sight. Guizhou City is located south of Guishan (between Wudang District and Dongfeng Town), so Guizhou's name also comes from this mountain.

The vanguard had already chosen the camping location, and everyone continued to walk eastward and circled several miles away from the north of Guizhou City. The troops marched in a formation and did not encounter any attack from the defenders out of the city. Perhaps because Liu Ying's troops had far more troops than the defenders in Guizhou City.

The right post where Yin Desheng is located is stationed on both sides of the main road into Huguang Road in the east to eliminate the threat from Guizhou defenders to the main force of Liu Ying's army... Yin Desheng was born to be hereditary to the hundred households and knew the importance of marching and camping; but he was not lucky, and most of the generals rose to prominence, and he was still a hundred households.

Yin Desheng now felt inexplicably afraid of the city wall, but he couldn't help but watch the Guizhou city wall. Seeing that the Guizhou city was not as small as the mainland, the length of the four walls might be nearly ten miles away! There was a stone inlay under the city wall, and there was an earthen wall above it. From a distance, it looked like a castle built on stones, looking very strong!

Everyone arrived at the camp before noon. The mountains around the land were small, with a wide view, and it was difficult to be attacked. Yin Desheng's men joined the Qianjun and continued to build the camp on a hillside. The vanguard and the baggage troops had already dug trenches, and everyone then had to build earth walls and fences, build tents and camps.

The main force of Liu Ying's army took a break on the road, and after dinner, he continued to walk eastward.

Yin Desheng was on the hillside next to the official road, watching the queues on the road, and endless crowds of people. Liu Dagen said in his voice: "How far have we walked? We have soaked feet, and he finally doesn't have to leave!"
