Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 29, Return to Hutou Mountain, Integrate the Army, and a War Will Begin
Zhuge's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

He could not imagine that the young general whom he looked down upon would actually be his gravedigger.

Liu Hong waved his hand, and his personal guards rode their horses, holding sharp blades to harvest the loyalists brought by Zhuge.

Cavalry, armor, standard weapons, elite troops, and attack from the front and back, occupying advantageous terrain.

There is no way to lose at all!
Zhu Ge also understood that his time was coming to an end today. He smiled bitterly and turned his gaze to Chen Pingping.

"Dean, can you let me say something from the bottom of my heart?"

The old man in the wheelchair had his eyes drooped and seemed to be asleep.

Liu Hong rode over and used the charge of his horse to kill Zhu Ge with one sword.

"Talk about a hammer!"

With Zhu Ge's death, Liu Hong felt relieved.

It's time for those masters in the Ministry of War to get to know Liu Hong again.

Just take care of things usually and make sure you have both face and substance.

If you continue to be greedy, then ask yourself whether Liu Hong’s sword is sharp enough!
"Master Dean, we are going to fight him. Liu Hong dare not waste any more time."

Chen Pingping waved his hand, indicating that Liu Hong could leave.

The drooping eyes opened a little.

He felt a little sad because he had promoted Zhuge because of his loyalty.

It’s a pity that Zhu Ge is loyal to the royal family, loyal to the Supervisory Council, and loyal to Chen Pingping.

I just don’t accept Fan Xian!

In order to pave the way for Fan Xian, this host had to be sacrificed.

Without the girl Si Lili, Liu Hong and his personal guards quickly returned to Hutou Mountain in eight days.

There are too many troops in Hutoushan now, and a small hill is not enough to accommodate them.

"Commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Moss of the County Troops greets you!"

The news spread quickly. Moss, who had an unruly beard and looked like a rebellious general of Hu descent, just bowed casually as a greeting.

Moss looked down on Liu Hong and thought that this guy was just a flatterer.

He had been through hundreds of battles, including many fights with the Hu people on the border, both big and small, before he rose from a humble background to become the deputy commander.

Liu Hong didn't care about Moss's attitude.

This measure must be taken.

It's good to be arrogant. Generally, arrogant people are very capable.

"From a poor family, or a wealthy family?"

Moss was stunned. He didn't expect that the young commander didn't try to attack or win him over.

Instead, he asked this irrelevant question.

Moss's spine sounded bent, and his voice was no longer as powerful as before.

“Without an identity…”

This is very intriguing.

The Qing Kingdom practices the Daqing people's doctrine: Heaven is the boss, Earth is the second, and I am the third.

Moss has no identity and can only represent the product of the Hu people's burning, killing, rape and abuse.

In fact, it is conceivable that with 30,000 soldiers in Dingzhou County, if Moss had some status, he would not have been sent to Liu Hong.

After all, Liu Hong’s most famous battle was just the destruction of a tribe at Hutou Mountain.

As for the bandits on Hutou Mountain...it's just a jackpot, who cares about bandits?

Liu Hong patted Moss on the shoulder and laughed.

"That's nothing. Before I became the commander, I was just a pirate, being chased by the government all day long."

"Do your best! Once we take over Qianlong Bay, I will recommend you as the commander."

Moss stood there in a daze, a warm feeling flowing through his heart.

He had never received such a courtesy before.

Upon hearing his identity, his former superiors unconsciously distanced themselves from Moss, as if they were afraid that Moss's dirty bloodline would taint them.

All the plans he had made to secretly obey and angrily criticize Liu Hong disappeared.

"Brother..."

"……grown ups!"

These two names came one after another, and the old brothers of Hutou Mountain surrounded Liu Hong happily. They didn't know that the originally promised promotion to Kyoto had many twists and turns.

But seeing that Liu Hong was getting better and better, these people were also sincerely happy.

After all, Liu Hong is really generous! He is never stingy with his brothers when it comes to good things.

The down-and-out scholars who joined later, or generals who came from common people, were also treated equally.

"I'm back today, I'm so happy! I'll kill pigs and sheep, and I won't come back until I'm drunk!"

Liu Hong took the top position in the army, and when he spoke, his bandit nature could not help but be exposed.

The general who once commanded 6,000 soldiers was all smiles.

In the army, eating meat and having a full meal is considered a luxury.

However, Moss and his generals and soldiers felt a little awkward. Even though they had been there for several days, they still didn't fit in.

Liu Hong grabbed Moss's arm and pretended to be unhappy.

"What's wrong? You're not happy about drinking and eating meat?"

"oh oh……"

Moss woke up as if from a dream, and came to Liu Hongjun's tent reluctantly. The generals behind him followed him instinctively.

The whole camp was in full swing, with people slaughtering pigs and sheep, buying wine and cooking, and having a great time.

The two gangs, who had kept to themselves for several days, gradually became friends during Liu Hong's drinking party.

Some men are not good at socializing, and it doesn't matter if they are taciturn.

You have to be able to play Pai Gow, finger-guessing games, or swordplay and stick fighting.

If you don't know any of them, then set up a bet and bet on who will win among the participants!

Moss's face was flushed, he was half drunk and half awake, and he would smile like a fool from time to time.

The original resistance to Liu Hong disappeared completely.

It seems that working under him is not bad! At least it is fun and joyful.

The military camp was in a frenzy for a day and a night, and then they rested and replenished their energy. All in all, it took about five days.

Against the backdrop of an impending war between the two countries, Liu Hong did not focus on training the army but instead bought wine and meat, which seemed to be putting the cart before the horse.

In fact, this is not the case. Liu Hong's power expanded too quickly.

Not to mention Moss's 6,000 men, just Liu Hong's own 6,000 men, four battalions of them were recruited midway.

If this kind of thing were put on the battlefield, it would definitely be shot into a sieve.

Liu Hong must first improve the cohesion of his army, not to mention its combat effectiveness.

At least after a defeat, the fleeing soldiers knew to return to the team.

When the army returned to normal, Liu Hong disbanded the army again.

For example, Moss once commanded Liu Hong’s army, while Huang Xuan commanded Moss’s army.

Not only the generals, but even the soldiers were separated and replaced.

This move was entirely to strengthen Liu Hong's own control over the army.

This would certainly weaken the control of new generals such as Moss, but considering the warm hospitality in the past few days, Moss couldn't say anything.

What's more, Liu Hong painted a big picture for everyone.

"Your Majesty wants me to take over the horse farm in Qianlong Bay. If I succeed, I will be made an earl, and you will be promoted three levels. It won't be a dream to be given an official title or a noble title."

Liu Hong pointed at the map and spoke.

The generals around him began to breathe rapidly and their eyes were burning.

Who told Liu Hong to be too realistic and not to talk about patriotism, or strategic significance?

Ordinary soldiers wouldn't understand even if they knew, so it would be better for them to get more silver and have more meals.

The generals did know about it, but then... I really thought they were very patriotic. They all wanted to be given official positions and titles and to have their descendants protected.

"Sir, let's attack directly! The war between the two countries will start from here!"

Huang Xuan couldn't wait to speak.

As a down-and-out scholar, wasn't it for this that he joined the army?
Liu Hong rarely looked serious and pointed at Huang Xuan and shook his head.

"Absolutely not. We are not qualified to start a war. The Dingzhou camp is just the left wing camp."

Everyone was somewhat dejected.

The opportunity to achieve success was there, but in the end they were not qualified to lead the war.
