Chapter 4 Fight to Fame
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
Nearly a hundred soldiers who fought for the rest of their lives in the Tiger Squadron cheered first, and then all the soldiers of the Guanghui Empire Army also cheered like a tsunami. Amid the cheers of the landslide and tsunami, the Guanghui Empire Army launched a continuous attack like a tide on the Mingyue Empire Army.
After Situ Biao died, the morale of the Mingyue Empire Army was severely frustrated, and it was barely resisted for a moment and then collapsed.

Tianlang Fortress, on the watchtower.
Looking at the Mingyue Empire Army fleeing all over the mountains, Zhao Yue felt a lot of regret.
After winning, the Western Legion finally won, and it was a hearty victory!
For eight years, since Situ Rui served as the governor of Qingzhou, the two countries' border conflicts, Zhao Yue's western legion has never gotten any advantage, but he has suffered a lot of defeats. The most violent defeat is the battle in Hexi Canyon three years ago. The entire Fourth Division was made of dumplings by Situ Rui and the entire army was destroyed.
That was an unforgettable shame. Until today, Zhao Yue's Western Legion has not yet restored its organization to the Fourth Division.
Now, Zhao Yue finally found the venue. In the battle today, Zhao Yue almost killed Situ Rui a whole division. Now, he can ask the Ministry of War for the establishment of the Fourth Division with confidence. What makes Zhao Yue even happier is that Situ Biao was also killed. Situ Biao is the younger brother of Situ Rui's mother's compatriot!
Zhao Yue really wants to see with his own eyes what kind of expression would appear on his face when his old rival Situ Rui saw Situ Biao's head?
"Hahaha……"
As he thought about it, Zhao Yue couldn't help but feel proud and smiled for no reason.
Chief of staff, Ip Mantian, did not have the kind mood that Zhao Yue did.
Until now, Ip Mantian still had the majestic figure roaring to the sky and the bloody head in front of him. I can't imagine that everything is too unreal. A mere squadron leader... actually killed Situ Biao! That's Situ Biao, a famous general in the Middle Earth world. How many famous generals have died at his hands?
Suddenly, a cloud was covered with darkness between Ye Wentian's eyebrows. The western provinces are truly famous!
It seems that after Zhao Yue, another famous general is about to emerge. The empire is in trouble now, and I don’t know if this person appears or a disaster?

The pursuit is finally over.
The Guanghui Empire Army had been chasing the border before Mingjin was withdrawn. In the end, less than two brigades of Mingyue defeated soldiers fled back to Qingzhou, and the Mingyue Army that invaded the Guanghui Empire was almost completely destroyed.
On the way back triumphantly, the soldiers of the Guanghui Imperial Army all raised their chests.
The anger that had been held in my chest for eight years was finally released today. At this moment, the soldiers of the Guanghui Empire Army felt extremely happy. The situation and feeling were like Brother Impact who had been impotence for eight years. Today, he finally got up in front of the woman. How could this kind of ejaculation feel so cool?
That night, the Sky Wolf Fortress was partying all night.
Zhao Yue, the governor of the western province and commander of the Western Legion, ordered the reward of the three armies, and even the light infantry were assigned to wine and meat. Meng Hu and his tiger squadron became the focus of attention, especially those light infantry, who rushed to Meng Hu like a tide to toast him. These light soldiers were usually fed up with the bird energy of heavy infantry, but today they could finally be proud.
Aren't you heavy infantry au? Okay, in this battle of Tianlang, did we finally win the final victory with our light infantry? That night, almost everyone was talking about Meng Hu's achievements in killing Situ Biao, a general of the enemy country, and speculated about what kind of promotion he would accept.

Ip Mantian’s residence.
The Ye family’s uncle and nephew were not in the mood to talk about Meng Hu and his Tiger Squadron, and they were more concerned about the interests of the Ye family.
Ye Wentian said to Ye Dingxi: "Our army won a great victory in this battle of the Sky Wolf. Although it was achieved because of the outstanding performance of the Tiger Squadron and the Thunder United, as the acting division commander of the division, no one can take away this great achievement. This time, Zhao Yue couldn't find a reason even if he wanted to promote the committee. This is the general trend. No matter how reluctant Zhao Yue was, he had to admit it."
Ye Dingxi said: "Uncle, Zhao Yue is not an ordinary person. Even if his nephew can successfully become the commander of the Third Division, he will not be speechless, right?"
"Of course." Ye Wen said coldly, "Zhao Yue has never been a person who is willing to suffer losses. This time our Ye family ate him a fly, and he would never make us feel good. If it was not bad for uncle, he would definitely take the opportunity to rebuild the Fourth Division and use it as a bargaining weight to threaten your father."

While the Ye family’s uncle and nephew were discussing secretly, Zhao Yue was also discussing matters with his confidant aide Zheng Ke.
Looking at the brightly lit camp outside the window and the drunk imperial soldiers, Zhao Yue said helplessly: "This is God's will. Although the Battle of Tianlang was won, Ye Dingxi could not stop the entry into the Third Division. But we must not just forget it. Ye Dingxi could be the commander of this division, but there is no free lunch in the world. Ye Haotian has to return the organization of the Fourth Division to me."
Zheng Ke sighed and said sadly: "That's all."

Ip Mantian’s residence.
Ye Dingxi asked: "Uncle, what should we do if Zhao Yue really talks about the establishment of the Fourth Division?"
"Promise him." Ye Wentian gritted his teeth, "Actually, Uncle Wei has already discussed with your father. As long as you can successfully join the Third Division, you will return the 4th Division to him if necessary."
"Return the 4th Division to Zhao Yue?" Ye Dingxi asked in confusion, "Uncle, haven't you always opposed your father's doing this?"
"One time and another time." Ip Mantian said solemnly, "The current situation is different from last year. At this time last year, His Majesty the Emperor was healthy in the dragon body, but now... According to Dr. Jiang's private disclosure, at most half a year or at least three months, His Majesty the Emperor will have Long Yubintian."
Ye Wentian didn't say what happened next, but Ye Dingxi already knew what it meant. It would take half a year for the old emperor to die and the new emperor to ascend the throne. In half a year, even if the fourth division was returned to Zhao Yue, what would Zhao Yue do? Could he be able to train an elite soldier within half a year?
As for what happened half a year later, as long as the second prince can successfully ascend to the great treasure, it will be a question whether Zhao Yue can still be the governor of the western province.
"But..." Ye Dingxi suddenly said, "After the re-establishment of the Fourth Division, we have to strive for the candidates for the division commander. Even if we don't use our people, we must never use Zhao Yue's people."
After pondering for a moment, Ip Mantian said, "If someone was transferred from another province, Zhao Yue would definitely not agree. There are only a few qualified candidates for the Western Legion. The First Division and the Second Division are Zhao Yue's direct descendants. He is like an iron bucket. People from these two divisions will definitely not be able to use them."
Ye Dingxi: "The captains of the Third Division are almost all from our Ye family, and only Lei Ming does not rely on both sides. Although this person is Zhao Yue's old subordinate, he is from a weak background and has been excluded and suppressed by Zhao Yue's direct forces. He has been in the position of the captain for more than ten years, but he has never been able to go further."
"Yeah." Ip Mantian nodded gently, "I think this person is quite suitable. Moreover, his Tiger Squadron under him has also made great contributions in this great victory in the Sky Wolf. He was promoted to the commander of the Fourth Division. It is reasonable to reason, but Zhao Yue couldn't find a reason even if he wanted to promote the committee."

Military camp, beside the fire.
Everyone was drunk, and only Lei Ming was still drinking with Meng Hu.
Lei Ming sucked the inferior wine in the glass, suddenly sighed, and said with some regret: "Huzi, it's a pity this time. It's not an exaggeration to say that you have made the contribution of killing Situ Biao to be promoted to the captain of the regiment. But the problem is that you attacked without authorization without receiving military orders. The crime of disobedience on this battlefield is not a pity."
"Don't worry about mine." Meng Hu said calmly, "You should worry more about yourself."
"Me?" Lei Ming laughed at himself, "What do I have to worry about? Although I have made some achievements this time, I am already the captain of the regiment and have been in the end in my life."
Lei Ming's words sounded a little disgusting, but it was an indisputable fact.
Lei Ming is now the commander of the regiment. If he is promoted to another level, he will be the commander of the division. The commander of the division has the title of general. Once he becomes a general, he will be the prominent and powerful of the empire! Although the difference between the regiment leader and the division leader is only one level away, this level is an insurmountable gap.
It is almost zero for civilian officers like Lei Ming to cross this gap.
Meng Hu said: "Lao Lei, don't be discouraged. I want me to say that you will definitely be the commander of the master this time."
Lei Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hu Zi, what are you talking nonsense?"
Meng Hu said: "Don't you believe it?"
Lei Ming smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Meng Hu said lightly: "Then wait and see, the decision will be announced within ten days."

Zhao Yue asked Zheng Ke: "What do you think about the candidate for the commander of the Fourth Division?"
Zheng Ke thought for a moment and said, "The Ye family will definitely not let go of this division commander. Hu Yi thought the most secure strategy was to use someone who could accept both sides. As long as the Fourth Division was reorganized, other things would be easier. Do you think this is the reason?"
"Hmm." Zhao Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "Do you have any specific candidates?"
"The specific candidate?" Zheng Ke replied in a low voice, "There is really one. Bei Zhi thought this was the only one that can be accepted by both you and the Ye family. He is Lei Ming of the Third Division."
"Lei Ming?" Zhao Yue said thoughtfully, "The tiger that killed Situ Biao seems to be from Lei Ming United, right?"
"No," Zheng Ke responded respectfully, "Meng Hu is a squadron leader under Lei Ming."
"Um..." Zhao Yue nodded slightly, "As long as the Ye family can accept it, the commander of the division will be Lei Ming. Let's talk about the tiger. This person is a rare general. With the contribution of killing Situ Biao in front of the formation, it is more than enough to directly be promoted to the captain of the regiment. However, he led his army to attack without authorization without receiving the military order. The crime of disobeying the battlefield is not small. What do you think is the right arrangement?"
Zheng Ke said: "I feel that I cannot let down the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies."
"You guy." Zhao Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You have to keep three points when talking to me?"
"Since you are so humble, just say it." Zheng Ke smiled, "In terms of ability alone, Meng Hu is qualified to be the commander of the division."
Zhao Yue's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you say? Is it enough to be competent for the division commander?"
"Absolutely competent." Zheng Ke said solemnly, "I have already found Lao Lei just now. According to Lao Lei, Meng Hu is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has a good military skills and is very popular with his subordinates. You have also seen this battle today. There are only two hundred people in the Tiger Squadron. But with Meng Hu summoned, they dared to break into thousands of troops and take the initiative to attack Situ Biao's elite guards! How brave and courage is this? It is not impossible to say that it is a suicide attack. This shows how Meng Hu's appeal in the heart of the army."
"I really didn't expect this." Zhao Yue looked solemn and whispered, "According to you, Meng Hu is not only a rare general, but also a rare talent for a general!"
Zheng Ke said with a solemn expression: "In time, this person may become a famous general!"
"A famous general!?" Zhao Yue's eyes suddenly burst into a strange light, and gradually disappeared after a long time. He took a deep breath of air conditioning and said slowly, "In this way, you can check the tiger's background immediately. Before you find out, let him stay in the Fourth Division. Give them a light army corps and see what they can lead a light army corps!"
Zheng Ke said relievedly: "It's safest to make such arrangements by sir."
