Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 112: The world is in turmoil (Part )
Seeing that Li Tieqiang had changed the subject, Pingshan Hu felt relieved and continued to speak out: "Don't talk nonsense, Da Tieqiang. Why do you say we are the ones who massacred the village? We were behind and saw that the villages on both sides of the Anzi River were empty. There are so many villages. It's impossible for my brothers to bring a few people and kill them all. Who knows who did this!"

Xin Qiji finally lost his patience when he heard this level of nonsense: "Pingshan Hu, are you really looking for death?!"

Pingshan Hu's hair stood up instantly, cold sweat covered his forehead, and his muscles tensed. He was about to say something when he heard a voice coming from the main seat at the top.

"Well, let's talk about these things after we take Yizhou. I can clearly see who is a hero and who is a coward. Similarly, I know who is pushing hard and who is holding back like a mirror."

Geng Jing's expression returned to normal, and he stopped the dispute as the commander-in-chief.

"Wulang, Da Tieqiang, it's time for you two to change your ways. How can you be so impatient when encountering things? How can you be entrusted with such important matters?" Geng Jing scolded him in a fake manner, then turned to Pingshan Hu and said, "Pingshan Hu, since you think Wulang and his men are taking advantage of the situation, then it's perfect. The Xinzi Army and the Rulin Army have been leading the way for a long time and are already a little tired. How about you take your men and lead the charge?"

Pingshan Hu was startled at first, then moved.

It is naturally dangerous to take the lead, but as an old thief, Pingshan Hu has seen a lot and naturally knows what kind of people the Jin officials are.

Although they had experienced disastrous defeats like the one in Jinan Prefecture, that was the main force of the Jin Dynasty, and it was not shameful to be defeated by them.

Where would Yizhou get so many armored cavalry and soldiers?
The danger can be said to be very small.

What are the benefits?

Although the Anzi River is not a big river, it is several dozen steps wide and can be considered a navigable waterway. Naturally, there are markets, ferries, and villages on both sides of the river.

Even though they had experienced several rounds of plundering by the Jin Dynasty, there was still some profit to be made.

Aren’t all these just good things for Pingshan Hu?

Not to mention that after crossing Mengshan Mountain along the Anzi River, Fei County is right in front of you.

That's a big piece of fat meat.

You must know that Pingshan Hu is not an honest farmer, but a Taishan bandit!
Xin Qiji frowned and was about to speak when he was grabbed tightly by Li Tieqiang.

After a short delay, Pingshan Hu stood up and bowed, "I will obey the orders of Chief Geng. I will lead the way, so please rest assured, Chief. I will never let a single gold thief get close to you!"

Geng Jing pulled his beard and nodded: "The Pingshan Hu soldiers are on the west bank of the Anzi River. Who will come from the east bank?!"

The other generals also figured out what was going on, and those on the east coast stood up one after another.

"I'll go!"

"I'm the best fit!"

Among them, those who were born as bandits wanted to make a fortune, those who were born as local tyrants wanted to supplement manpower, and those who were born as local farmers wanted to protect the people. There were many reasons, but they were dressed in the guise of being pioneers, which made the Tianping Army seem loyal and brave enough to fight.

Only the two who had just had sex remained silent. Shi Baiju's face was pale, not knowing what to say, while Yelu Xingge rubbed his copper belt buckle with disdain on his face.

In a moment, Geng Jing had already decided on the candidate: "Sun Hei, you take your black-headed army with you."

"The rest of the troops will march forward in order. Rest tonight on the north side of Mount Meng. We will strive to cross Mount Meng and take Feixian County by tomorrow!"

"Both the Rulin Army and the Xinzi Army should come to the Central Army and join the Heavenly King Army. I will personally direct the central command."

This was a serious military order that could not be refuted. Xin Qiji and Li Tieqiang did not hesitate and simply bowed and said, "I have received the order."

Whether it was the respect for the coach's authority or the respect for Geng Jing as Geng Jing's confidants, the two of them were unable to resist in such a situation.

If they said the word "no", outsiders would think that there was a problem within the small group centered around Geng Jing, and trouble would arise out of nowhere.

Afterwards, Geng Jing started talking about the same old things, such as maintaining strict military discipline, paying attention to food and fodder, paying attention to the connection between troops, sending out scouts widely, and a series of other instructions. The generals in the tent just nodded randomly.

A moment later, the hasty military meeting ended, as if so many people came to the meeting just to discuss the marching order.

After everyone else left the tent, only Geng Jing, Zhang Anguo, Xin Qiji, and Li Tieqiang remained. Li Tieqiang was the first to lose his composure and said, "Brother, why did you let that Pingshan Hu lead the way? Besides being good at killing the people, what else can he do?"

"Yes, the military discipline of Da Tieqiang and I is quite good. However, there are still cases of stealing and robbing during the march. Pingshan Hu and Sun Hei, two bandits who came from thieves, can do nothing but ruin the reputation of our Tianping Army."

In private, Xin Qiji could naturally speak freely, but the anger in his words made Zhang Anguo look at him sideways.

Geng Jing smiled bitterly, "You two, do you think I'm a Jin thief? I want to rein them in, but how can I? The people you've been trying so hard to protect up front have been completely destroyed by these bastards once they've passed by. I sent my third brother and my personal guards to take care of it, but he can only manage one side, not the other."

Xin Qiji was speechless.

He quickly remembered what Liu Huai said.

'There are too many Libra soldiers'!
There are indeed too many of them. No one can control so many people!

Li Tieqiang also felt embarrassed.

Geng Jing took two deep breaths. "So, Zhang Qi gave me an idea. Just put these mad dogs in the front. Let them have a bad reputation. The common people will run for the mountains when they hear about it. It's better than you enforcing military discipline, letting the common people mistakenly think the Tianping Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and then you stay at home and let those shit-eating people take advantage of you."

"Also, Zhang Qi also reminded me of something. At this time, people's hearts are full of grass. The strength of the Jin bandits is secondary. The key is that there may be chaos within the Tianping Army.

Look at those two bastards, Yelu Xingge and Shi Baiju, who broke in today. Just because they camped close to each other and someone took whose hemp rope, they dared to draw their swords in front of me for such a trivial matter. I'm really angry.

Therefore, we must unite as one, and the armies must also gather together. It doesn't matter if they are in chaos, but the three armies of the Heavenly King Army, the Rulin Army, and the Xinzi Army must not be in chaos."

Xin Qiji remained silent and looked silently at Zhang Anguo and Zhang Qilang.

This guy's calculations have always been like this. They are indeed useful, but they are also very crooked.

Li Tieqiang nodded silently, but then he remembered something urgent: "Brother, Liu Dalang from the Loyal Army is here and is waiting outside the tent. Do you want to meet him?"

Geng Jing, who had been notified by the military envoy yesterday, patted his head and said, "How can I not see him? Let Liu Dalang come in immediately. Wulang, you are well-read. What should I wear, do, and say in this kind of occasion?"

Xin Qiji was at a loss for words. How could two groups of ragtag troops with no official status have so many stories?

But before he could answer, there was another commotion outside the tent.

The soldiers guarding outside the tent quickly came to report: "The man that Chief Xin brought has started a fight with the Pingshan Hu!"

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow at noon, and there will be a wave of updates. Please read it.
