The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

After receiving Zhao He's order, Sun Tao immediately took action. Under his leadership, more than 10,000 Tiandao troops marched toward Heishui County.

Blackwater County!

Located in the far west of the southwest region of Fengtai Province, it is a third-rate county town with more than 80,000 people living there. Due to the poor geographical environment and inconvenient transportation, the economy of Heishui County is very backward, and the people live a life without enough food and clothing. Life, even the entire county, does not even have city walls.

Just three days ago, Heishui County was still under the occupation of Xu Jiajun, but now, it has been occupied by Yang Xiaohu's Yang Jiajun, led by a deputy division commander named Liu Yun with more than 8,000 men.

"Hahaha... I think the Tiandao Army is nothing more than this. We were able to defeat them yesterday and they fled. If they hadn't escaped quickly, we would have killed them all in one fell swoop."

"Xiaolong, don't underestimate the enemy too much. The Tiandao army was able to rise suddenly and eliminate Zhou Hailong and Xu Feng successively. It is by no means an ordinary person, especially their commander. It is said that this person is better than Zhuge Liang and has the ability to predict the unknown. "

"What a fool! Do you believe this? You haven't predicted it yet? Then why didn't he calculate it? We have already occupied Heishui County in advance?"

In a manor, six men in military uniforms were drinking wine, eating meat, and chatting.

Last night, they defeated the Tiandao army and made the opponent flee. This made everyone very happy, so they held a grand feast and set up a celebration banquet, eating and drinking.

Just when they were talking happily, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Master Liu is here!"

Upon hearing this, the six people's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly stood up and greeted them respectfully towards the door.

Then I saw a bald man walking straight in. This man was nearly two meters tall, with big shoulders and a round waist. He was covered in fat. His neck might not be short, but it was so full of fat that you couldn't even see his neck. His legs were as big as beans. His eyes seemed to be unable to open, giving people a sleepy feeling.

But for such a person, when everyone saw him, they immediately greeted him respectfully, "I've met Mr. Liu!"

Obviously, this person is Liu Yun. Even though he is fat and has a smile on his face, he looks harmless to humans and animals, but everyone knows that this person is ruthless, brave and resourceful, so Not only was he very convinced, but he was also very afraid.

Behind Liu Yun, there were two adjutants, one on the left and one on the right, with straight waists, dark skin, and eyes as sharp as knives, giving people a feeling of coldness to the bone.

Facing everyone's greetings, Liu Yun did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the big fish and meat on the table and asked, "Who told you to drink and eat meat?"

"Mr. Liu, didn't we win the battle yesterday? So I invited everyone to drink and eat meat together to celebrate." A white-faced man came up to him with a smile and explained.

However, Liu Yun glared coldly. The latter was suddenly frightened and staggered back two steps. He knew that when the other party showed this expression, he was very angry.

"Mr. Liu, please sit down quickly. We thought you were taking a nap, so we didn't call you for fear of waking you up. Xiao Wu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly give up your seat to Mr. Liu!" The tall and thin man was quite discerning. Seeing that Liu Yun was unhappy, he immediately tried to smooth things over.

"Yes, Master Liu, please, we have just been drinking, you came at the right time." The man named Xiao Wu quickly gave up his seat. He motioned Liu Yun to sit over.

Liu Yun smiled at him and slowly came to the table.

Everyone looked at him smiling and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. They thought Liu Yun was angry because he didn't call him. At this moment, he explained truthfully and stopped being angry.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yun suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table with a terrifying force, making a loud "bang" sound!

clap clap clap!

The wine bowl on the table suddenly fell to the ground and fell apart, making a harsh sound.

The sudden scene shocked everyone, and they all fell into silence, fearful and confused.

"Damn it! Didn't I tell you yesterday? Don't be careless and don't underestimate the enemy. Do you think that after winning the battle yesterday, we can sit back and relax and continue to occupy Heishui County?"

Liu Yun looked at the crowd and cursed angrily: "We were able to defeat the Tiandao Army yesterday because it was completely unexpected. In addition, the Tiandao Army was only led by two young men with little combat experience. Now the news must have spread. Zhao He has heard it in his ears. He will definitely not let us occupy Heishui County and will definitely send troops here. It would be better for you guys to not go to the position to guard the position at such a critical moment. Instead, you come here to drink and eat meat. Don't you know? Aren’t you allowed to drink during combat?”

After hearing Liu Yun's words, most people found it difficult to refute, lowered their heads, and did not dare to say a word.

But only two people showed a look of disdain. A man named Xu Long curled his lips and muttered: "Isn't it just a small Tiandao Army? Is it possible that our Yang Family Army is more powerful?"

"Xu Long, what did you say? Speak louder if you can!" Liu Yun suddenly shouted at him.

Xu Long was obviously a little afraid of Liu Yun, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Liu, I, I think you are making a fuss out of a molehill. Heishui County is surrounded by mountains. What our 23rd Division is best at is fighting in the mountains and forests. Their Tiandao Army has nothing to do with it." They are not our opponents. Even if their support comes, we are not afraid at all. And the one named Zhao He is just a young man in his twenties. It is said that he can predict the future and make miraculous calculations. In my opinion, it is just a rumor. That's all, we don't have to..."

"Nonsense!"

However, before he finished speaking, Liu Yun kicked him in the stomach and cursed angrily: "Do you think everyone is like you, a fool with well-developed limbs and a simple mind? I have carefully studied Zhao He was able to grow from a foolish young master to a warlord, and he also grew up between the Xu Jiajun and Zhou Jiajun, and killed Zhou Hailong and Xu Feng successively. Do you think he can be an ordinary person?"

"I?"

Hearing this, Xu Long couldn't refute while holding his painful stomach.

At this moment, he realized that Liu Yun was completely furious. He immediately did not dare to say anything more and lowered his head.

"Let me tell you, the commander-in-chief sent them here just to ask for directions. Do you want us to test the strength of the Tiandao Army? This is related to our commander-in-chief's plan to invade the south. So we must be careful and must not Take it lightly, you know?”

"understood!"

Everyone responded loudly.

"Now that you know, what are you still doing here? Why don't you get back to my position." Liu Yun cursed.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded and immediately turned around and ran to their respective posts, never taking it lightly again.

As for Liu Yun, he picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip. He looked into the distance and murmured: "Zhao He, now that I have laid many ambush, how will you occupy Heishui County? What on earth are you doing? Is he as clever and brave as the rumors say? Or is he just an incompetent person with empty talk?"

Obviously, Liu Yun had guessed that Zhao He would send troops to support him, and had set many traps in advance, waiting for the Tiandao army to fall into the trap.

In fact, just as he expected, Zhao He had sent support, but he did not come in person. Instead, he asked Sun Tao to direct the battle.
