"From the day we entered Dongjun and came to Puyang, I had already made this plan, but the time was not ripe at that time, but now it is different from the past, the training of three thousand sergeants has been quite effective, and the cooperation of various parts is also practical, and the plan I have formulated is enough. Ye Shikai said lightly, through two weeks of getting along, he also knows something about Ma Yao, as the lieutenant of a county, he can be regarded as a person who "does not seek merit, but seeks no fault", behaves conservatively, is content with the status quo, and naturally has no strong measures for the activities of the rebel army, and finally sits back and watches its development and growth step by step.

So in the face of such a "boss", when Ye Shikai's plan is submitted, although he will hesitate in his heart, but judging from the current situation of burning eyebrows, he will definitely choose to agree decisively, otherwise if the news reaches Xianyang, maybe he will be punished for "ineffective suppression and slackness in affairs".

"If my prediction is correct, within an hour of this plan being sent, Ma Yao will send the talisman over. Ye Shikai is very determined.

"Alright, I'll send the plan right away. Shangguan Jian nodded and said, personally leading people to the county governor's mansion.

"Mancang, order all the officers above the hundred generals to come to the camp, I have a battle plan to announce. Ye Shikai didn't even wait for Shangguan Jian to come back, and directly ordered the transfer of troops.

"Wow. ”

After a stick of incense.

"Have all the officers arrived. Ye Shikai looked at the dozens of officers in front of him, including several hundred generals and five hundred lords of the cavalry team, these were his direct cronies, and three thousand officers of the garrison, after these few days of training, they also completely obeyed Ye Shikai, after all, no one wanted to be beheaded.

"Report to the general, the officers of the whole army have been assembled and are waiting for your orders. Man Cang replied.

"I think you already know that this time we are going to exterminate the rebel army stationed in the mountains."

"Report, Lieutenant Horseman has arrived. At this time, the guards outside shouted loudly, and everyone got out of the way, Ma Yao walked in quickly, and Shangguan Jian followed by his side.

"Captain Horseman. Ye Shikai stepped forward and said.

"Brother Ye Xian, you are the solution to a big problem in my heart. Ma Yao stepped forward excitedly and held his hands, "Brother Xian sent troops to exterminate the thief army, it is expected by everyone, I believe you will be able to succeed immediately." ”

"Someone. Ma Yao shouted, and the cronies around him immediately handed over a wooden box.

"This is the talisman, from today on, these people will all obey Brother Ye Xian's order, after the task is over, you can keep the talisman for yourself, you don't need to discuss these plans with me in the future, just send someone to notify you directly, I fully agree." Ma Yao said in front of the generals that he trusted Ye Shikai so much, which also added a bit of morale, and Ye Shikai was very pleased.

"Thank you for your trust, I will do my best. Ye Shikai took the talisman with both hands.

"Brother Ye Xian is a highly valued general of General Mengda, and I have learned about your training recently, it is very effective, and he is really a young hero, and he can take on a big job. Ma Yao took out the plan written by Ye Shikai, "I have read it carefully, with Brother Ye Xian's strategy, the thief army will be destroyed." ”

"All of you are of one heart and one mind, and I wish Brother Ye Xian success. ”

"I wish General Ye success. ”

"I wish General Ye success. ”

"Old Ye, sure enough, as you thought, Captain Ma not only agreed, but even came over to send the talisman in person. After Ma Yao left, Shangguan Jian immediately said.

"I didn't expect him to come in person, or I wouldn't have let the officers gather. Ye Shikai sighed, before he got his hands on the talisman, he had already begun to give orders, which made Ma Yao think, he must think that he was overstepping his authority, even if he supported him verbally, I am afraid that he would think more in his heart.

"Lao Ye, no matter what, the most important thing for us now is how to exterminate these rebel armies, I have seen your plan, in this battle, you only dispatch those 3,000 soldiers, the queen of the cavalry team, will it cause criticism." Shangguan Jian's face was solemn, and his brows were twisted together.

"What's the criticism. Ye Shikai asked coldly.

"Isn't this obvious, the two thousand iron cavalry we brought are not used, but only those three thousand sergeants are allowed to fight, and others will obviously think that you are retaining your strength. ”

"I've been thinking about that for a long time. Ye Shikai sneered, "Strength is made by fighting, if everything needs to rely on the two thousand iron horses, then what is the point of our training, as for those who love to gossip and chew the root of their tongues, don't pay attention to them, Ma Yao handed over the talisman to me, then I have 100% the right to transfer, and others don't need to doubt it." ”

"Well, I see, the officers under this plan have already seen it. ”

"That's enough, according to the plan, tonight, the cavalry team and the three thousand garrisons will gather and go to their destination together. ”

Late at night.

"Have you heard, this battle, only we are on it, and all those people in the cavalry team stay behind to watch the battle. ”

"What, this is too partial, who doesn't know that the cavalry team is General Ye's descendant, isn't this the intention to let us go to death and let the cavalry team take the credit." ”

"Yes, it's so obvious, it obviously wants us to be cannon fodder, and what kind of rewards and punishments are clear, it's obviously calculating us. ”

Before leaving, the battle plan had already spread far and wide, reaching the ears of all the sergeants, which Ye Shikai expected, after all, the officers of the garrison also received this plan, and they naturally felt unfair.

"Brothers, some of you may wonder why the cavalry did not participate in this mission, did you? On the stage, Ye Shikai also heard the whispers of the sergeants below.

"Report to the general, I don't understand, and neither do all the brothers, and ask the general to explain the reason, otherwise we will not be convinced. One of the sergeants below shouted.

"Well, I'll tell you. Ye Shikai pulled out his sword and pointed to the side of the cavalry team that was ready to go.

"This cavalry team used to be the garrison of the county, they are all the same as you, they are also afraid of strong enemies, afraid of death, and have also thought about rout and escape, but they have experienced bloody battles with the wolf clan in the fortress, and have experienced crises that you dare not imagine, in my cavalry team, almost all the sergeants have cut off the heads of the wolf soldiers, and every cavalry has military merits, if I have to say one reason, it is that these rebels are not worthy of being their opponents. Ye Shikai shouted loudly.
