Seeing He Linghan crying without saying a word, Ye Shikai didn't ask again, he already knew the reason, there was no need to ask further, in fact, just as Ling Han's maid Lotus said, if Ye Shikai was really "lazy" Get up, you can be the same as other county generals, stay at home every day to eat, drink and have fun, as for the training, you only need to command a deputy general, but Ye Shikai does not do this, he is now in command of 10,000 brothers, each of which is old, young, and has a family, every brother is killed, which means that several family members behind him will cry for it, if Ye Shikai does not pay attention to training, then there will be more brothers who sacrifice meaninglessly, since he is now the general of the army, he must be responsible for his brothers。

Ye Shikai took He Linghan into his arms and gently patted her shoulder......

"Ling'er, I've wronged you, when the battle is over, I will definitely go home to see you immediately. Unconsciously, He Linghan's body no longer trembled, and the crying stopped even more, it seemed that the grievances in her heart were over, Ye Shikai waited until she fell asleep, and then turned around and lay back.

The next morning, He Linghan still served Ye Shikai in person as usual, and specially asked the kitchen to cook a lot of delicacies, in front of outsiders, she would never show abnormality, even if she was wronged, she would only cry secretly at night.

"Husband, how long will it take you to send troops this time? At the dinner table, He Linghan suddenly asked.

"If it goes well, a month will do. Ye Shikai thought for a while and replied, the other party has five or six thousand people, some of whom are stationed in the inaccessible mountains, and it is not so easy to deal with.

"General, you have to come back as soon as possible, you are not in the house these days, and Madame is very worried about you. Lotus stood aside and said suddenly.

"Lotus, it's too much, don't go down quickly. He Linghan suddenly scolded, and Lotus stopped talking, and turned to the kitchen.

"Husband, the subordinates are talkative, but I didn't manage it well. ”

"Ling'er, the lotus also cares about you, I don't care, besides, if the atmosphere is restrained, I'm not used to it, it's better to be lively." Ye Shikai shook his head gently, he didn't want to be like the lord of feudal society.

"Moreover, Lotus is right, it was I who didn't take good care of you and snubbed you, and a maid couldn't stand it, and I was uneven, which means that it was my fault. Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Okay, my husband can concentrate on the war ahead, and the affairs of the family will be left to me. He Linghan didn't want to continue this topic, maybe ...... She was worried that if she continued to talk, she would not be able to hold back her tears.

"Don't worry, I'll return as soon as the fighting is over. Ye Shikai also gave her a promise, if the battle is won, Ma Yao still has a task, he will shirk it on the grounds of "injury and recuperation".

"Well, I'll wait at home for you to come back. ”

...............................................................

Barrack.

"Have the troops been assembled? Ye Shikai sat in front of his position, looking at the dozen commanders in front of him, as well as a few military commanders and cronies, his face was solemn, he was also the first time to command tens of thousands of people to fight, this is different from the "brawl" of dozens of people, tens of thousands of people fight together, a mistake can lead to hundreds, or even thousands of casualties, sloppy.

"General, the men and horses have all been assembled, and the cavalry has set off as the vanguard. In front of all the generals, Shangguan Jian also called Ye Shikai "general" instead of "old Ye", which shows his seriousness.

"Everyone, you are all my confidants, you should know me very well, I won't say anything else, I hope you will go all out and succeed immediately. Ye Shikai did not make any "impassioned" speech, in the era of cold weapons, the two armies fought head-on, it depends on who is ruthless and who dares to play with their lives, so every time there is a big war, the general has to motivate the morale of the troops, but the current situation is different, entering the intertwined mountains, the most important thing is not morale, if you don't know the terrain, don't know the route, don't know the ambush, even if a group of reckless people break in, what's the use, so this battle, the most important thing is strategy.

"Ah, General. ”

"Ah, General. ”

"Ah, General. ”

Ye Shikai rode a war horse, led his own soldiers to sit in the Chinese army, and commanded the whole army, unlike the previous team of one or two thousand people, an army of 10,000, it was impossible for him to command it alone, so ...... He wants to be a general, he specially organized a herald army, each with a fast horse, every military order issued by Ye Shikai was directly sent by the herald to the hands of the commander, so that he was like a brain, although the brain itself can not do things, but the brain can give instructions to all parts of the body.

"The march is encamped every night, patrols must be dispatched, the closer we get to the Beast Mountain, the more dangerous it becomes, I have received information from the cavalry, these days, the county where the Beast Mountain is located has been completely blocked, no one is allowed to enter or leave, the food in the city is rationed according to the population, and the water source is also prepared. In the camp, Ye Shikai pointed to the map and said.

"It's so serious. Shangguan Jian couldn't believe it, before the war, a dignified county town had already shrunk.

"There are only a thousand sergeants stationed in a county, where can they resist the rebels. Ye Shikai was not shocked, he had already expected this result, if the county seat was lost, then Ma Yao's position might really be lost, maybe the order to close the county was given by him.

"Lao Ye, we will be able to arrive at the county seat tomorrow, and then we will be able to relieve the siege, the troops will march in a hurry for a whole day, will we go into the city tomorrow to rest for a night. ”

"No, if we swagger into the city, it is equivalent to directly telling the rebel army in the mountains that we are coming, we don't need to enter the city, or even pass by the county seat, we just need to report the progress of the troops to the county order, first, open the city gate, and second, it is also to appease the people and prevent the masses from panicking. Ye Shikai commanded.

"Well, I'll do it right away. ”

"Report that there is a group of merchants outside the camp, asking to meet with the general. Just as Ye Shikai was concentrating on studying the terrain, the guards suddenly reported to the account.

"Let them come in quickly. Ye Shikai said lightly, and it didn't take long for several middle-aged people to be led into the tent by the guards.

"What are you? ”

"Returning to the general, we are all merchants in the vicinity, just now passing by the aisle, I saw the general's barracks, and I came here to ask. The lead man said.

"There's something to say. ”

"I wonder if the general is here with a large army to exterminate the thief army on the Beast Mountain. ”
