Everyone ignored the old Taoist shouting and returned to the valley to rescue the wounded.

On the way back to treat the wounded, Roland had the opportunity to talk about the past with Lei Dongfeng and others in detail.

On that day, Roland and Anbang took people to destroy the Longyang Senior Ordnance Factory, but because of the betrayal of the traitor Lin Moqian, he was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Anbang even tried to cover Roland and others to retreat, fighting against Als and died.

After Roland escaped, he found that there were only a dozen elites he had cultivated for many years. He felt sad and felt ashamed of his trust in these subordinates. He even regretted that he had no eyes and believed Lin Moqian.

But Roland's subordinates did not blame her. They all hated Lin Moqian's shameless betrayal of everyone, and they advised Roland to try to leave the city first, otherwise once they were searched by the Western coalition, they would inevitably be wiped out.

But at that time, the Western coalition had already closed the city. After many days of this incident, the city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit. Even the military reports of military officers from various places who came to Longyang once a week were terminated. The streets began to search for suspicious people, and they immediately arrested them.

During this period, the Western coalition forces searched nearby several times, and were all led away by Roland's subordinates, which also damaged several more people.

The few people persisted until yesterday, when Als decided to go out to Mengzhou Prefecture and opened the city gate. Only after Roland rushed out of the city gate under the cover of the inside and his subordinates. But as soon as Pu rushed out of the city, he happened to meet the traitor Lin Mo.

Lin Moqian grew up in the organization with Roland since childhood, so he is very familiar with Luo. Although Roland has changed his appearance, he is still recognized by Lin Moqian after careful identification.

So, Als immediately sent three hundred men teams, led by Lin Moqian himself, chasing Roland and others.

In the meantime, in order to cover Roland's retreat and attract the attention of the enemy, Roland's subordinates fled one after another. Except for the subordinate who met Lei Dongfeng and others in Shitou Ridge, almost all of them died.

But in front of the traitor Lin Mo, he always led dozens of people to bite behind Roland.

He was afraid that Roland would pass on the news of his rebellion. Although the senior organization had contact with the Western coalition forces, after all, it was not allowed by the organization to join the Western coalition forces. Lin Moqian knew about the thunderous means of the organization's treatment of traitors, not to mention that his family still lives under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Capital Organization.

For the peace of life and the safety of the family, Lin Moqian had no choice but to kill Roland and all the people in the organization who were informed.

Under the cover of his subordinates' life, Roland ran all the way and entered the Songshan Mountains. Finally, he was blocked by Lin Moqian and others on a cliff. Seeing that there was no way out of heaven and no way out of the ground, Roland was completely lost and prepared to jump off the cliff to preserve his innocence.

At this moment, Xu Huanzong happened to be taking Hao Cangxu and others out to inquire about the movements of the Western Alliance, but when he saw a group of Western Alliance soldiers chasing a woman. With Xu Huanzong's character, there was no reason to ignore it. The old man did not hesitate and led his masters to rush and kill the traitor Lin Mo on the spot. In front of the dozens of Western Alliance soldiers did not escape and were all buried under the cliff.

However, Roland, who was rescued, was shocked, tired and angry because of the continuous escape. After being rescued, he felt relieved and fainted.

This coma lasted for a whole day and night until I woke up just now.

~~~~~~~

After listening to Roland's narration of the causes and consequences, Lei Dongfeng said angrily: "It's a bargain for that traitor!"

Anbang was the brother who followed Lei Dongfeng from Longcheng Prison, and was also a soldier who Lei Dongfeng liked very much. Along the way, he followed his old brothers from Longcheng that day, one after another, died or were injured. At this moment, when he heard Roland's detailed description of his death in battle, he felt even more sad. He hated the traitor Lin Moqian and Aars who killed Anbang.

Lei Dongfeng is a person who values ​​emotions. In many cases, he is not suitable to be a cold-blooded commander, but it is precisely because he still has the characteristics of being sincere to others and having a heart-to-heart relationship with brothers that he has gained the support of so many people.

At least, in this world, everyone likes to follow a capable and loyal boss.

But at this time, the traitor Lin Moqian was dead, and Als should have returned to Longyang. Lei Dongfeng had more hatred and could only wait for a good opportunity.

"If you have the chance in the future, I will avenge Anbang with my own hands and swear to pay tribute to my brothers with the blood of the Westerners!" Lei Dongfeng said softly but firmly to everyone.

"Well, only when a real man can be grateful for his grudges will he be able to understand the Taoist heart. That's right!" Xu Huanzong praised.

"You are a practitioner of Taoism, why are you still so bloody?" Old Taoist Lin Qingping said deliberately disdainfully.

"You have ruined other people's lives in your hands." Hao Cangxu couldn't help but say.

"Uh, I had no choice but to defend myself." The old Taoist curled his lips and looked up at the sky, looking like I was right to kill someone.

"Lei Legion, I am very grateful for your revenge on the little girl, but we should still put the overall situation first." Roland said leisurely.

"Yes." Lei Dongfeng looked at Roland with admiration, and the others suddenly felt that this woman was indeed extraordinary.

~~~~~~~~

On April 13, the first year of the Empire Era, the Empire's Benlei Legion temporary camp was held in Guangyuan Prefecture, Yanbei Province.

As soon as the sky was dawn, bursts of shouts and walking came from the barracks, and then a large number of soldiers rushed out of the tent and started morning exercises. After the morning exercises, they began to bury the pot and make rice. After dinner, the soldiers organized their equipment and weapons in an orderly manner, and war horses were also led out of the stable.

Then the soldiers put the tents and placed them on the carriage that was carrying the baggage with the army. At this moment, the generals began to complete the team and gather their subordinates.

One hour later, walking on the newborn Chaoyang, the 30,000 troops drawn from the Benlei Legion, plus the 40,000 people from the second-level Boyang Legion from the East China Sea Province, a total of 70,000 people were set out towards the Central and Southern Provinces.

"The war is finally going to start." Cao Lan, the commander of the Fenwu Army's First Cavalry Division, sighed.

Cao Lan is a branch of the Cao family, one of the thirteen families of the empire. He is also the nephew of Cao Qianlong, the Speaker of the National Assembly.

However, because of his family's family, his father died early, and his personality was a bit unfair and he was not favored by the elders in the clan. Cao Qianlong's only son Cao Shiwu even regarded him as his enemy.

Originally, with Cao Lan's ability, he was admitted to the Imperial Capital Jiangshan Army Higher Education College, but that year, Cao Lan's mother was seriously ill and no one in the Cao family was willing to help pay and take care of her. Cao Lan had to take care of her mother by herself, delaying her homework, and finally had to go to the Imperial Yanbei Cavalry Academy.

Xiahou Junjie, who was the commander of the Benlei Army at the time, accidentally visited the Cavalry Academy located in Taiyuan Prefecture. After seeing Cao Lan, he felt that he was very capable and wanted to take him under his command, who was still in the Imperial Yanbei Cavalry Academy, and promote him all the way. Now he has been in the division position, so Cao Lan naturally devoted himself to Xiahou Junjie.

However, Xiahou Junjie was not recruited by Cao Ganlong, but boldly appointed Cao Lan as a general, which made a legend.

Cao Lan also worked hard to build the First Division into a strong army.

Cao Lan rode on the horse, squinted her eyes, and looked at her high-spirited subordinates in front of her, feeling proud.

He was just a descendant of a side-family family in the Cao family. In terms of qualifications and connections, he had no chance to stand out in the Cao family. It was Xiahou Junjie who knew the pearl with his keen eyes and gave him his current status. Although, in the Benlei Army, Cao Lan did not rely on any faction and was also highly excluded by his colleagues.

Even Xiahou Junjie's cousin Xiahou Minde was very hostile to Cao Lan, believing that Cao Lan had seized the position of commander of the First Cavalry Division, which should have belonged to him.

In fact, Cao Lan himself knew best that although he was the nominal commander of the First Cavalry Division, Xiahou Junjie only gave him command power, but did not completely hand over the First Cavalry Division to him. From his brigade commander to his squad leader, almost all of them were appointed by Xiahou Junjie himself. All he could really master were the hundreds of cavalry soldiers who were the captain of the brigade at the beginning.

But even so, Cao Lan still wanted to seize great contributions to Xiahou Junjie in fighting against the Western Allied Forces.

After all, he is a man who is grateful.

But Cao Lan, who was determined to make the first contribution after the battle of the Benlei Army, was helpless at this moment, because the order Xiahou Junjie gave him was not to start the war immediately, but to station on the spot after arriving in Anyang Prefecture, waiting for the army to arrive before making a decision.

Cao Lan looked at the elite soldiers and powerful generals under her, and could only temporarily suppress the belligerent heart.

~~~~~~~~

As a mixed army of infantry and cavalry, the Benlei Army had two cavalry divisions. This time, Xiahou Junjie was brought by his side. The first division had 5,000 men as vanguards for Cao Lan's command, and the second division had 5,000 men into two teams to stay in the central army to support.

However, 40,000 infantrymen were brought out, but only 30,000 were brought out. Another 10,000 infantrymen and 40,000 from the second-level army of Liaodong Army from Liaodong Province were left in Taiyuan Prefecture to ensure the safety of the rear route.

However, even with the current 70,000 people, Xiahou Junjie is confident that he will win a piece of cake for the Benlei Army and those behind him on the battlefield in the Central and Southern Province.

After all, he did not want to have a full-scale decisive battle with Als now.

"Thirty miles ahead, it will be under the jurisdiction of Anyang Prefecture, and Anyang City is only more than twenty miles away. How does the Xiahou Legion want to fight this first battle?" Xue Jingxuan asked with a smile.

"Fight down." Xiahou Junjie's answer was simple and clear.

"What about below?" Xue Jingxuan obviously didn't want to let Xiahou Junjie go like this. He wanted to take out Xiahou Junjie's truth.

"Watch the changes." Xiahou Junjie continued without any impatience.

"Are you not afraid that Als will lead the army to cause trouble for you?" Xue Jingxuan said curiously.

"I'm afraid, but Als should be tired of dealing with the counterattack from Tongguan now. I don't believe that Lei Dongfeng would have no movement at all? I heard that there was a Han cavalry in the Central and Southern Province recently. I think it was Lei Dongfeng's people." Xiahou Junjie was obviously not a person who could make wedding dresses for others so easily. Although he admired Lei Dongfeng in his heart, he asked himself that he could not do better under various adverse circumstances.

But, after all, what he has to do now is to seize the credit, occupy the favorable terrain, and lay a solid foundation for future actions.

All of this may be friction with Lei Dongfeng at any time.

Although the big man behind him seemed to appreciate Lei Dongfeng quite a bit, Xiahou Junjie admired that person very much in his heart. He thought that what he said: "The rebellion of the empire lies in the aristocratic families and in the warlords" was really a good governance word.

So if Lei Dongfeng can understand the current affairs and help him, but if he can't, Xiahou Junjie wouldn't mind eating this team that had just experienced a bloody battle.

"By the way, Brother Zhiyuan, when I was in the imperial capital, I heard that this Western Allied Forces invasion was a collusion with the Westerners, and you could not stand in Yanbei Province and did not rescue the Fenwu Army. It was because the military headquarters did not agree. Didn't you think about the adults' feelings at that time?" Xue Jingxuan's tone suddenly changed and he called out Xiahou Junjie's word for prose, but the question was very direct.

"Are you asking me this on behalf of the adult?" Xiahou Junjie said coldly.

"Sir, you understand you very much. After all, you are a soldier and you must obey the instructions of the military headquarters." Xue Jingxuan smiled.

"Because I am not asking about it, Junjie is abrupt. No matter what the reason is, as a soldier, I must obey the orders, but also rely on my conscience. In the past, I did not fight, but I was ordered; today I fought, but I was also ordered, but I was even more conscientious." Xiahou Junjie said with a sigh.

"Brother Zhiyuan is so noble and admire him." Xue Jingxuan smiled indifferently, but said in his heart: "Has your previous conscience been taken away by the dog?"
