Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Yang Zhengshan jumped on his horse, raised the spear in his hand, and stopped the soldiers coming from behind.

The other party also rode a warhorse.

The two looked at each other.

"Which general of Darong are you?" The other party suddenly asked.

Yang Zhengshan's expression changed slightly, "Dobato, the leader of the Korcha flag!"

The warriors of the eighth and ninth levels of the acquired realm are already top masters among the Hu people in the East China Sea. Now that the other party has appeared here, he must be from Korcha.

As for Korcha, Yang Zhengshan still has some understanding.

These days they are not killing people all the time, they will also catch some tongues to interrogate the situation of the surrounding Hu people.

For example, who is the leader of Korcha, who are the martial arts masters in Korcha, how many cavalrymen are there in Korcha, how many people are there, etc.

Although the people they caught did not have a deep understanding of Korcha's situation, it was enough for Yang Zhengshan.

Hearing Yang Zhengshan reveal his identity, Duobato no longer concealed his identity and said directly: "Yes, it is the leader of this flag!"

After ordering the troops to gather during the day, Duobato wanted to find out the enemy's intelligence information. He did not believe those rumors, nor did he want to believe what Zha Yan said, so he decided to come and see it in person.

However, he did not expect that he would run into Yang Zhengshan just to catch a live person.

This was also an unexpected coincidence, but it was also reasonable.

Because he was following closely behind the garrison camp, and since Yang Zhengshan was going to be on guard, he naturally had to be in the most important position.

"Who is your Excellency?" Duobato asked again.

"Yang Zhengshan, the garrison of Anyuan City in Chongshan Town!" Yang Zhengshan said.

However, when Duobato heard this, his face became extremely ugly.

Anyuan City garrison?

Are you kidding me?

He knew a lot about Darong and Chongshan Town, and knew what rank of official a city garrison was.

The garrison of a city is usually held by the commander-in-chief or the assistant commander, that is, they are usually of the third or fourth rank.

In Chongshan Town, the garrison can only be regarded as a middle-level military officer, with no more than a thousand soldiers under his command.

A garrison is actually on par with himself!

Duobato felt humiliated!

But he soon reacted.

Garrison, more than a thousand soldiers!

Zha Yan said that the other side only had more than a thousand people!

Really only more than a thousand people?

Duobato looked at Yang Zhengshan with sharp eyes, and Yang Zhengshan was also staring at him. The two people's sights collided in the dim moonlight, and the strong murderous intent spread around like a breeze.

"Go!"

However, Duobato finally chose to leave.

While running towards the north, he turned his head to look at Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan did not stop him, but just watched them run away quietly.

He was not sure to keep Duobato.

And Duobato chose to leave because he was not sure to take down Yang Zhengshan.

Watching Dobato go away, Yang Zhengshan looked up at the night sky, "Wake up everyone, we'll travel overnight!"

Korcha is only more than 50 miles away. If Dobato goes back to mobilize troops to chase them, it will only take one or two hours to catch up.

Although Yang Zhengshan doesn't think Dobato will chase them, he doesn't dare to take the risk.

It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.

Soon the quiet temporary camp became agitated, and the soldiers and the civilians who transported the spoils were woken up and set off overnight.

However, Yang Zhengshan's guess was not wrong. Dobato did not mobilize troops to chase them.

Until they crossed the Songyuan River, there was no Hu cavalry chasing behind them.

It was about noon when they returned to the previous camp.

The camp here should be safe. There are no Hu tribes within a hundred miles around, and Korcha should not come for a while.

Of course, safety is only relative. As long as he is still in the north, Yang Zhengshan must never let down his guard.

After letting Yang Mingzhen arrange the alert, Yang Zhengshan and his soldiers had a frank meeting in Songyuan River.

The dust and blood stains accumulated for ten days can finally be washed off at this moment.

The dark red blood stains fell off from the body and armor, and the originally clear river water quickly turned into a turbid dark red.

The water flow in the upper reaches of Songyuan River is not large. The deep part is only about ten feet, and the shallow part is just above the knee. You can cross the river directly on horseback.

Under such a slow flow of water, hundreds of soldiers washed in it, and the result can be imagined.

Wang Sheng and Yuan Wanli looked at the soldiers relaxing in the river, looking at the turbid river water, with inexplicable expressions.

After washing away the dirt and fatigue, Yang Zhengshan walked out of the river with ease, and Zhou Ren hurriedly stepped forward to hand him his clothes.

In the entire garrison camp, the most relaxed people these days are probably the clerks accompanying the army, but this kind of relaxation is also relative.

Although they were clerks and did not have to participate in the battle, they had to follow the garrison camp, sleep in the open air, and launch surprise attacks every night.

Not only that, they also had to help take care of the soldiers' food and clothing, help military doctors treat the wounded, etc.

"Don't worry about me, go wash up!" Yang Zhengshan put on his clothes and smiled at Zhou Ren.

Although Zhou Ren had some minor problems, he was generally reliable.

At least after Yang Zhengshan took charge of the garrison office, he never had any problems.

And this time with the army, he was even more dedicated and worked hard.

For those who are willing to work hard, Yang Zhengshan has never been harsh.

"Then please do as you please, sir. I'll go wash up first. Hey, I smell really bad!" Zhou Ren's obviously thin face was covered with a bright smile.

It was really bright, brighter than ever before.

Yang Zhengshan saw his smile and laughed too.

It is impossible to predict how much potential a person has without pushing him.

Zhou Ren is just a scholar and doesn't know any martial arts. It stands to reason that after going to the battlefield, he should have a harder time adapting than the soldiers, but in fact he adapted faster and better than most soldiers.

"Go!"

Yang Zhengshan patted his shoulder and strode to Wang Sheng and Yuan Wanli.

"Sir!" The two greeted.

Yang Zhengshan was wearing a loose robe, which was empty inside, which looked a bit out of place.

But everyone was a man, so there was nothing to be shy about.

"Well, how is the situation in Chongshan Town during this period?"

Yang Zhengshan asked.

These days, he has put all his energy into the battle in front of him and has not paid attention to the situation in Chongshan Town. Now that he can finally relax, he naturally wants to ask.

Wang Sheng's expression suddenly became strange, and he said: "The situation is a little, um, a little complicated!"

"Since the garrison camps of each city went out, the battle situation has intensified. Some garrison camps have achieved good results, while others have been afraid of the enemy and have not moved forward!"

"And since the generals of various routes have left the pass, the news of victory has been frequent and the results of the battle are remarkable!"

"Now the Marquis has led the town's standard camp to Fushan City. If nothing unexpected happens, the decisive battle should be in Fushan City!"

Although he has been running behind the garrison camp these days, he has not lost contact with Chongshan Town.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. This is expected.

Today's Chongshan Town is no longer the Chongshan Town of three years ago. Although the situation of the garrison camps of each city is not very good, the combat effectiveness of the town's standard camp and the reinforcement camp has far exceeded that of three years ago after three years of rectification.

It was still very easy to eliminate the Hu tribe with the reinforcements of the generals.

Of course, this does not mean that the Donghai Hu tribe has no power to resist. The main force of the Donghai Hu tribe is not those scattered tribes, but those large tribes, such as Korcha, Omubu, Chahar, etc.

And the most powerful among the Donghai Hu tribe is their royal family, that is, the Gorqin clan.

The battle in front of us is just the beginning, and the real battle is still behind.

"Where is your father now?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Near the Black Cloud Mountain!" Wang Sheng replied quickly.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it. The Black Cloud Mountain is not far from here, probably only about two or three hundred miles.

"You, forget it, let my people go!"

He wanted to take down Korcha, but the garrison battalion was really incapable.

So he wanted to ask for help.

The two reinforcements led by Wang Bin were his best reinforcements.

He had originally thought of asking Wang Sheng to deliver the message, but Wang Sheng could only deliver the message back to Jiacheng first, and then from Jiacheng to Wang Bin.

The time spent in this way would be worse than if he had sent someone directly to Heiyun Mountain for help.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan noticed the strange look on Wang Sheng's face and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing?" Wang Sheng shook his head quickly.

His reaction made Yang Zhengshan feel even more strange, "What happened!"

Wang Sheng was entangled, looked at Yang Zhengshan, and then looked at Yuan Wanli beside him, and then said embarrassedly: "Sir, I have sent back battle reports these days!"

"Yeah!"

Yang Zhengshan was a little puzzled.

He ordered Wang Sheng to write the battle report, first because he had been busy attacking the tribes of the Hu people and had no energy and time to write any battle reports. Second, because Wang Sheng had to transport the spoils back, he happened to send the battle report back along the way.

This should be no problem!

"Sir, you have wiped out eight tribes of the Hu people, and the number of beheadings has reached nearly 20,000!" Wang Sheng reminded again.

"What's the problem?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Uh, haha, no problem, it's just that, some people don't believe it!" Wang Sheng said.

Yang Zhengshan frowned slightly and looked at Yuan Wanli.

Don't believe it!

This is indeed a problem. Too good a record is also a problem. Being too outstanding will naturally arouse others' suspicion.

But Yuan Wanli was sent by the General's Mansion to verify the military exploits.

Yuan Wanli said bitterly: "I have reported to the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion should send someone else to verify the military exploits!"

Wang Sheng's news came from Jiacheng, and he contacted Chongshan Pass.

He sent back a verification result five days ago, but two days ago he received a reprimand from his superiors.

He was reprimanded for making a mistake in the number of beheadings.

One tribe a day, thousands of heads a day.

Such a situation, let alone those in the General's Mansion, even Yuan Wanli himself, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, would not be able to accept it.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care too much about it, "Then wait for someone to come and verify it again."

Some people are suspicious, which is normal, and some people are jealous, which is also normal.

But facts are facts.

No one in Chongshan Town can cover up or embezzle his military exploits, so he still has this confidence.

Let's not talk about the upcoming marriage between the Yang family and the Marquis' Mansion, let's talk about Zhou Lan's thigh.

Although Yang Zhengshan has not seen Zhou Lan in the past few years and has only corresponded with Zhou Lan, the relationship between the two has not been alienated.

And Yang Zhengshan has a clear label, that is Zhou Lan, or the Ningguo Mansion behind Zhou Lan.

This is a political affiliation. It was a label that Yang Zhengshan had been given when he first came to Chongshan Town. Even if Yang Zhengshan wanted to deny it, he couldn't.

In terms of personal relationship, Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan were both teachers and friends. In terms of official relationship, Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan had joined forces. The relationship and involvement between the two had become a well-known matter.

And this relationship was even stronger than the in-law relationship between the Yang family and the Marquis' Mansion.

Unless one day Yang Zhengshan betrayed Zhou Lan, or Zhou Lan abandoned Yang Zhengshan, this would be an unbreakable alliance.

With the support of Zhou Lan and the Ningguo Mansion, Yang Zhengshan would not be treated unfairly in Chongshan Town.

Of course, this only explained the surface, and it was not necessarily the case in secret.

After Yang Zhengshan finished speaking, he went back to the tent in the camp to rest. He was exhausted from the continuous battles, and he was eager to have a good sleep.
