In the famous and huge Heidiguan courtyard in Yongnian City, Wu'an County, a competition to seize the dragon is being held. Li Ding and his wife are personally in charge. Almost all the officers in the county soldiers come to watch, and the leader of five hundred soldiers

Fan Lihua's subordinates were clearly superior and were killing everyone on the field, almost forcing their opponents into a desperate situation.

Let's say that although she is a female general, she has superb martial arts and profound cultivation. As soon as she joins the army, she has extraordinary cultivation. When she joins the army, she is a little arrogant at first, but she is soon punished by Li Ding.

To be honest, the military regulations and military drills are all good. With Mrs. Li here, it is impossible to defeat them. The dozens of trusted knights who came with them were scattered and couldn't escape, as if they had entered a den of thieves.

In the end, as he gained experience, he gradually became heroic, energetic, and somewhat military-like.

Everyone in the Wu'an County army regarded him as a strange person.

However, Mrs. Li's personal care was very good, and coupled with the relevant family background rumors, no one dared to say matchmaking.

Just when everyone was getting bored watching Fan Lihua's tribe slaughter everyone on the field, he rode into the courtyard and dismounted in front of the Black Emperor's Hall. However, it attracted the attention of almost everyone - according to the rules,

This is first-class military treatment.

A document was passed by Su Jingfang to Li Ding who was sitting in front of the huge statue of Black Emperor. The latter opened it and read it. After only a few glances, he became speechless and handed the document to the captain beside him.

, in the hands of Su Jingfang’s biological father, Su Mu.

Su Mu also laughed after reading:

"Mr. Cao Fu is still deceiving himself! How many soldiers does he have to help? Moreover, a group of county soldiers who have been recruited for less than half a year have fought so many bloody battles and captured thirty battalions of Hejian Camp with so many weapons and horses.

Come and meet? I heard that the army now has three thousand armored cavalry. Not to mention the gathering of masters on the opposite side. Even if he persuades Cui Gong to come out, he is afraid that it will affect Cui Gong's life and the end of the festival. Moreover, the river is smooth now.

, the Eastern Territory can use all its strength to cover the retreat at any time, but to support now is just a matter of death."

"Where is the need for support from the east?" Li Ding also sneered. "Cao Shancheng's troops are tight, but he can only have four cities and one line. The result is that one city is defeated and none of the lines are lost, and the whole game is lost... If Zhang San is too lazy to care, he just chooses

There is nothing to say if a weak one is defeated head-on. He can only go directly to Gaotang, which has the most elite soldiers and the tallest city, and pretends to besiege the city... That is to deliberately be evil and use Cao Shancheng's dead horse as a living horse doctor.

He just wants to use this person to hook other fish. As I expected, it is possible that some city has secretly surrendered to him."

"Then we don't want to go?" Su Mu asked seriously.

"Go, let the whole army set off, and you will be the vanguard." Li Ding sighed. "In this way, we can ask Wei and Ji for food, weapons, and rewards, and then we can seize the Zongcheng and arrange it properly."

Zongcheng is a county to the west of Qinghe River, and it also happens to be on the west side of Qingzhang River. Li Ding is very aware of Zhang Xing's strategic plan and the power of the court, as well as the military and political bottom lines of both sides, so this is called taking the opportunity to ask for a drink of soup.

It's also cowardly.

Su Mu woke up and stood up straight away and handed over his hands.

In late March, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhang Xing waited under Gaotang City for three days without moving.

"So, the soldiers and horses of Wu'an County stopped at Zongcheng, and the soldiers and horses of Xiangguo County stopped at Jingcheng?" Zhang Xing, wearing a white cloak, stood on the rammed earth general platform that had just been formed outside the city, half-smiling but not smiling.

No one around said anything. After a while, Wei Xuanding twisted his beard and smiled awkwardly: "It's normal, they are not stupid."

It's not stupid. Jingcheng County is in the northwest corner of Qinghe County and on the other side of Qingzhang River. It is to Xiangguo County just like Zongcheng County is to Wu'an County.

"Actually, these two families are not from the same group as Qinghe. Xiangguo and Wu'an both receive more support from Taiyuan, so they are from the same group. Qinghe, Wuyang, Weijun and Jijun are all from the east capital. If we really want to

Looking at reinforcements, we still have to count on Wei and Jijun." Chen Bin stood aside to smooth things over. "Jijun and Weijun troops may come."

"I can't come." As he spoke, Xiong Bonan came on stage behind him and spoke simply. "Xu Dalang sent a message saying that Qu Tuda sent troops from Ji County and combined forces with Wuyang County soldiers and horses. They looked very strong, but they were gone in just one day.

A county along the river has an extra three thousand soldiers to protect it. Wuyang County is halfway through, and it is estimated that ten thousand people will be left by the river. Then there was a message from Wuyang just now, which means that Wei County and Ji County have already

After discussing it, we finally joined forces and stopped at the Tangyi-Liaocheng line to see if we could pull out Cao Shancheng or Xue Wanbi...especially Cao Shancheng. It is said that Emperor Cao of the Eastern Capital had spoken."

"If Cao Shancheng doesn't mention it, can we do something in Tangyi and Liaocheng?" Zhang Dalongtou was obviously unwilling.

"It's difficult." It was Wang Shuyong who spoke. "The main reason is that it is too far away from us, and the area along the river is too heavily guarded. Any movement in the east will be noticed..."

"What if Chiping and Zhangnan can just let go?" Zhang Xing hesitated before telling the key information.

Unexpectedly, the leaders who knew this news for the first time only glanced at each other a few times, but there was not much surprise.

"If you let Zhangnan go, you can directly capture Wucheng and Qinghe, cutting off the overall situation of Qinghe. If you let Chiping go, you can easily surround Boping, but if you hope to encircle Liaocheng and Tangyi in one fell swoop, it's still difficult... because

The three cities form a triangle. Boping and Liaocheng are fifty miles apart, while Tangyi is seventy miles away from the two cities." After hesitating, Xu Shiren also participated in the discussion. "I hope that I can't cover such a large area if I am caught off guard.

local.”

"The most important thing is the strength of the troops and the lack of reconnaissance." Chen Bin said sternly. "The three thousand soldiers of the three armored cavalry battalions, plus the four thousand soldiers of the two light cavalry battalions, totaling seven thousand cavalry, can't be used directly."

Baotangyi and Liaocheng. However, Tangyi and Liaocheng belong to Wuyang County, and as has been stated just now, the reinforcements from Wei County and Ji County will also pass by. The number of troops and horses is not known. If the situation is unclear, they may not be able to stop them.

, in order to prevent others from alerting others, our sentries did not spread so far, and we had to consider the risks..."

Zhang Xing nodded slowly: "Indeed, we don't have the experience of outflanking a large army, and once we bite off more than we can chew, we will easily be choked, not to mention being frightened by the victory again."

No one was prepared to say any more.

Shan Tonghai, on the other hand, frowned and stepped forward: "But let me tell you, Zhang Longtou, because he doesn't have this kind of outflanking experience, we should try it while the overall situation is in our favor, because we can't contain him at this time.

, the later advance will be faster, and the losses will not be too great. Unless we try again when we are forced to do so, we will be completely defeated. And it is necessary to cross the border and eat something to scare the surrounding states and counties, right?"

The generals were still silent, but they just came to see Zhang Xing.

It should be noted that this is not only because the leader Shan wants to sing the opposite, but also because this guy is leading one of the three battalions of armored cavalry in the newly reorganized battalion, which makes sense from the perspective of the deployment of military arms.

Of course, this kind of question depends on whether you are a revolutionary optimist or a revolutionary pessimist. If you are optimistic, it means that Rendan Tonghai is not afraid of war, takes the initiative to seek war, and is not afraid to contradict his superiors, making the army full of revolutionary vitality;

To be pessimistic, the military, which was originally a chaotic mess on the hilltops, will soon have new problems due to the military units and camps created by this reorganization.

Of course, Zhang Dalongtou is a revolutionary optimist. After thinking for a moment, he immediately nodded: "What Leader Shan said makes sense. He was indeed one of the three pillars of our army when we founded the gang. He has a certain style of advancing with the times.

...Then can we just try to use cavalry to outflank a closer Liaocheng?"

I don’t know if it’s a compliment at the beginning, but later on I’m asking others for new plans.

"But using the cavalry on Baolia City will ensure that Boping is besieged properly? What if Cao Shancheng takes the opportunity to escape?" Dou Lide asked seriously. "I don't want to delay the meritorious service of the cavalry brothers. Liu Heifu, who I brought with me, also

He leads a battalion of Qingqi, but the brothers from Hebei want Qinghe to come back safely as soon as possible, stop causing trouble, and return to their hometown as soon as possible."

"Don't be afraid, Cao Shancheng will not escape on his own initiative." Zhang Xing was quite sure of this point.

"Then we can outflank Liaocheng first!" Shan Tonghai couldn't wait. "The cavalry will encircle Liaocheng. I will lead them, and the infantry will encircle Boping later."

"But there are no troops stationed in Liaocheng yet. It's just news now." Chen Bin reminded slowly. "We can't make a set strategy just because of a piece of news. Military rations are precious and cannot be wasted."

"Well, the deadline is the day after tomorrow." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Let Guo Jingke send the scouts over... If the Wei thieves have less than 10,000 troops entering Liaocheng tomorrow and the next day, they will follow the strategy of the single leader; if

No, we will launch a full-scale launch in the future, sending troops from Chiping, surrounding Boping, sending troops from Zhangnan, and going directly to the county to control Qinghe; but we must also consider the situation where the other party has too many reinforcements, or goes directly to Boping...

Let the staff make a detailed plan, and don't run out of plans before the battle. If you have any ideas, please go to my tent to talk to the staff and discuss the plan together. Then go back to camp and prepare for sending troops, but don't disturb the city."

Everyone cupped their hands and naturally followed the words and left.

However, Chen Bin followed Zhang Xing closely, lagging slightly behind, and took the initiative to remind: "Longtou, the stall is getting bigger and bigger. Apart from me, the public security internal affairs officer, Leader Yan is responsible for the personnel review, and several leaders directly under him are actually obviously still...

There are three serious assistants missing...the so-called Sima, Internal History, and Jijiu... Even those who join the army should give a few outstanding ones extra grades so that they are qualified to compete with the leaders, otherwise they will have to do everything.

You were there."

Zhang Xing nodded: "Military Assistant Officer, Clerical Assistant Officer, Foreign Affairs Etiquette Assistant... The last one can actually be done by Xie Minghe, clerical..."

"Ci Erlang, the clerk, is quite suitable."

"Let's see what he says. There should be no big problem after this war, but the military commander is in a dilemma... The foundation of the gang is that powerful people come with private soldiers, so this is the battalion head system. There is a little bit of

The thought of leading soldiers is to be the chief officer of the first battalion. It is really difficult to find someone who is qualified to compete with the big bosses for military affairs."

"But don't rush it. Take your time. Anyway, military is the biggest problem. The leader will always personally deal with it, and everyone will be a counselor."

"If Cao Shancheng can surrender, it would be inappropriate." Zhang Xing made a hellish joke.

Chen Bin couldn't help but laugh.

"It's a pity." After laughing, Chen Binfu sighed again... He knows the military, is serious, and is not afraid of authority. He is indeed perfect.

Zhang Xing also shook his head, but instinctively thought of Zhang Shizhao who was far away in Jiyin... Zhang Shizhao said that day that after the stalls were opened, in order to ensure the stability of the system and personal authority, multiple independent but intersecting stalls should be set up.

The team...and the development of things now is actually gradually consistent with what Zhang Shizhao said that day.

He was thinking that if Zhang Shizhao could come and be a strategic assistant, it would not be very suitable, and his internal reference team would have a real ballast stone.

Of course, just thinking about it, Zhang Dalongtou knew very well that Zhang Shizhao, who was known as Zhang Shizhao, was the de facto early strategic assistant of the sage in Jiangdu. He personally made plans and implemented the plans to dismember the Wu clan, clean up the internal military separatism, and sweep away the Eastern Han Dynasty.

A series of strategies of Yi, and it can be said that they were relatively perfect until the final conquest of Dongyi.

As for the bad things that happened later, to put it bluntly, it was not a problem with his brain, right?

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Shizhao probably just wants to provide for his retirement. If he and the gang succeed in the end, this guy will just be an idle official, popping up from time to time to make some bright-looking suggestions. If the gang wants

If it collapses, he will definitely jump ship.

As for Zhang Shizhao being willing to invest his heart and work seriously, he essentially needs something, something that can convince the former Nanya Prime Minister or arouse his interest.

But Zhang Xing doesn't have this thing yet, and he doesn't know if he can get it, or even what it is.

All I can say is that the road ahead is long and difficult.

With a little extra thought before the battle, Zhang Xing returned to the military tent, and the military tent took advantage of the gang's mixed backgrounds as always - a quarter of the people were seriously discussing military affairs, and half of the people remained silent and only talked about

But the rest of the people were sitting around the door outside the tent, talking about the "Three Pillars", "Four Heavenly Kings", "Nine Liu Queens", "Five Biao Generals", "Eleven Taibao" and the like.

I don’t know how a casual sentence can lead to so many opinions.

And what's interesting is that most of the rankings exclude Wei Xuanding, Xiong Bonan, and Bai Yousi, and no one mentioned the "two-headed dragon" again.
