The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 577
In order to reach the destination as soon as possible, the First Army and the No.40 Seventh Army did not adopt the method of land marching, but walked to the edge of the Grand Canal, and then took a navy boat and a large number of civilian ships went straight down the canal Hangzhou.

The speed of water transportation is naturally much faster than that of land marches.Within half a month, the two armies were all transported to Hangzhou.

Yue Pengju, the commander of the Second Army stationed in Hangzhou, personally led people to welcome the two brother troops.

Originally thought that only the first army came, but unexpectedly two armies came. This made Yue Pengju overjoyed, but at the same time realized that His Royal Highness the Regent had serious intentions this time.

"General Bai, General Chu, it's been a long and hard journey." Yue Pengju saw Bai Mu and Chu Yunfei coming hand in hand, and greeted them with a big smile.

"General Yue, you are being polite. Your Second Army has made great achievements in the southeast. When we were in the capital, we often heard His Highness mention it." Bai Mu laughed.

"That's right. Before coming down, His Highness told us to learn more from General Yue." Chu Yunfei also said with a smile.

"It's just a few more battles. The Zheng family's army is a bunch of idiots, and it's not a big deal to win them. Two generals, please, I have prepared a banquet for the two of you." Yue Pengju calmly said, The performance is also very humble.

Moreover, everyone is the direct descendant of His Highness, so naturally they don't have so many intrigues.

At most, it is a normal rivalry between soldiers.

Both troops have already settled down in the camp that the Second Army has already prepared outside the city of Hangzhou.

The three of them entered Yue Pengju's Chinese army tent together, and when they lifted the curtain, a gust of warm air rushed towards them.

"The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is really fucking evil. No matter how thick you wear it, you still feel cold." Bai Mu let out a sigh of relief and complained.

"That's right. Although Liaodong is known as a place of severe cold, no matter how much blood is poured in winter, as long as the cotton coat is thick enough, it won't feel too cold. This is a place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it's really uncomfortable for newcomers." Chu Yunfei took it echoed.

"The two of you are newcomers, so you must be a little uncomfortable with the climate. The south of the Yangtze River is humid, so winter is naturally not as dry as in the north. We can only burn more stoves to get rid of the cold and damp." Yue Pengju explained with a smile.

The reception banquet prepared by Yue Pengju is actually very simple, just eat hot pot.

Hot pot can be said to be the most suitable food for winter.

A huge copper stove hot pot in the middle of the big tent is already bursting with steam. Tofu, cabbage, shredded kelp, sliced ​​meat and other ingredients are tumbling on the soup surface. A thin layer of clear chili oil floats on it, exuding Mouthwatering aroma.

The three small tables next to the hot pot are also full of ingredients, ready to be cooked at any time.

Bai Mu looked at the boiling hot pot, and suddenly moved his index finger. He sat down on the horse beside him, picked up his chopsticks, and was about to pick up the food in the pot.

Chu Yunfei was a little more reserved, but he couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and sat on the other side of the saddle.

Everyone is a member of the army, so there is not much to pay attention to.

Yue Pengju saw that the two of them were ready to start, he chuckled, and without further ado, he also sat in his seat, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Soldiers have always paid attention to the speed of war, not only marching and fighting, but also internal discipline, even eating is the same as fighting.

In less than half an hour, not only the ingredients in the pot were eaten clean, but also the ingredients on the small table next to the three of them were eaten clean.

Bai Mu ate with sweat on his forehead, and one of the top disciplinary buttons of the general's military uniform was undone. He looked like he had enjoyed his meal, but the chopsticks in his hand were still rummaging through the pot.

Chu Yunfei was also sweating, his face was flushed, and his expression was extremely timid.

"Brother Yue, your welcome banquet is really enjoyable. I have to eat this stuff this winter. Before I came in, I felt chilly all over my body, but now I feel comfortable all over. It's strong enough, it's strong enough." Bai Mu put down his chopsticks and shouted Cozy.

"This place in the south of the Yangtze River is cold and humid, so it's the best place to eat this hot pot. I had the honor to eat this hot pot once with His Highness, and I heard His Highness said that the hot pot in Shuzhou is the most famous. I don't know when I have been there. Mouth addicted." Chu Yunfei also showed a look of contentment and imagination.

"What's so difficult about it? Next spring will be the end of Zhang Xianzhong's old boy. When Shuzhou is restored, I will invite you to eat as much hot pot as you want." Bai Mu laughed loudly.

Everyone understood the current situation, so they looked very relaxed when they said it.

After the three chatted for a few more words, they quickly brought up the topic of war.

After all, their mission to go south this time is to conquer the southeast.

"Although there are many local forces in the south of the Yangtze River that are attached to us now, it's okay for these local forces to let them maintain a basic order, and they can barely defend the city. If they are used for war, they can't be counted on. Therefore, this time we will attack the southeast , it depends on our three armies to take care of the Zheng family and the British." Yue Pengju, as the landlord, was the first to speak.

"Has there been any movement in the Zheng family recently? Your Highness was worried that the Zheng family and the British would attack from the sea to contain us." Speaking of business, Bai Mu also became serious.

"I haven't received any news yet, but Admiral Deng sent someone from the navy to say that the Zheng family would harass some small fleets from time to time, but they were all sent back by the navy.

They should be testing the strength of the navy.Once they feel that they can compete or even overwhelm the navy, they may launch a large-scale attack from the sea. "Yue Pengju said in a deep voice.

"Is there any movement in the Zheng family on land?" Chu Yunfei asked in a deep voice.

"Since we cleaned up the Zheng family last time, wiped out the musketeers that the Zheng family worked so hard to build up, and robbed the Zheng family of food and a large number of military horses, the Zheng family has been very quiet, and there has been no movement of revenge. The troops below are all itching to do it again, and they all want to do it again, and even take Jianning City directly." Yue Pengju said with a relaxed expression.

"This Zheng family is holding back some bad fart, right?" Bai Mu asked with a frown.

"The strength of the Zheng family is actually not to be feared. Although Zheng Zhilong started as a pirate, he acts like a businessman. He is the most calculative in what he does. He dared to invade us before. The reason why the British encouraged and supported him behind. But after we suffered a loss, we learned to be good, knowing that it would definitely be a loss-making business if we forced it with us. If you want him to move again, the British have to give him enough I'm afraid it's only good for the benefits." Yue Pengju said.

"Didn't you hear that the British reinforcements have arrived?" Chu Yunfei asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, according to intelligence, the British have at least 3 to [-] reinforcements this time, and there are also a large number of weapons and ammunition. According to the news from the Black Ice Platform, the British brought a lot of new weapons this time. "Yue Pengju nodded and said.
