Xiao Ding was relieved to see that Zhao Laixi, Zhao Hu and others were safe and sound, left the camp of the township soldiers, and walked towards the county government again. He wanted to listen to Huang Wenlong, Yang County's order and Fei Wen's next arrangement.

When they arrived at the county hall, several leaders were still discussing the distribution of troops. When Huang Wenlong and Yang Xianling saw Xiao Ding coming, they politely greeted him and gave him a seat.

Fei Wen didn't like it when he saw Xiao Ding, he didn't know what Xiao Ding had done before, and he couldn't understand why Huang Wenlong and Yang County Ling would be so polite to an ordinary soldier.

"We are discussing the military aircraft, what are you doing here as a little soldier?" Fei Wen stared at Xiao Ding coldly and said.

Huang Wenlong, who was on the side, saw that Fei Wen's tone was not good, and hurriedly came over to relieve the siege and said: "Master Fei, don't underestimate this Tian Xiaoding, he is a handsome talent!" The few small victories we sent this time are inseparable from Tian Xiaoding's contributions! I was about to report Tian Xiaoding's merits to Lord Zhizhou, and let Lord Zhizhou report to the imperial court to see if I could help him get a position as a general. ”

"Yo ho, he has the talent of a general? He's still a creep, right? Our current meetings require an officer above the rank of lieutenant to participate, what qualifications does he have? Fei Wen pursed his mouth and said with a blank look at Xiao Ding.

"Okay, Tian Xiaoding, I will now appoint you to be the commander of the soldiers and horses of Xinquan County, and lead all the soldiers and horses of Xinquan County." Huang Wenlong saw that Fei Wen was unrelenting, so he appointed Xiao Ding as the commander of the capital on the spot.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Kingdom were under control, which was equivalent to county-level officers, and generally the supreme commander of the army in each county was under the control of Du. Huang Wenlong, as a state-level commander of soldiers and horses, has limited powers, and at most he can appoint officials such as commanders and captains.

"Thank you, Lord Huang, for promoting!" Xiao Ding saw that Huang Wenlong stood up for him, and hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him.

In this way, Fei Wen has no excuse to drive Xiaoding out again.

Fei Wen saw that Huang Wenlong tried his best to defend Xiao Ding, and guessed that the relationship between the two of them should not be shallow, he was at the same level as Huang Wenlong, and there was no need to offend Huang Wenlong because of Xiao Ding. What's more, at present, Huang Wenlong has handed over all the command of the army to him.

The chiefs continued to discuss the distribution of forces, but they discussed and discussed without a result. Xiao Ding was a little impatient when he heard this, so he said: "Adults, since the Hu people don't come to attack the city, why don't we take the initiative to attack the Hu people?" ”

Hearing Xiao Ding's words, Fei Wen's face almost turned green, he thought that Xiao Ding was deliberately satirizing his last defeat.

Huang Wenlong and Yang Xianling also stopped, of course they knew that Fei Wen was now frightened by the Hu people, and they didn't dare to start a war with the Hu people anymore.

"Tian Dutong, do you know that Hu Ren is good at riding and shooting? Our army is all infantry, and most of the Hu people are cavalry, do you think we still have a chance of winning if we use infantry against cavalry? Fei Wen had just suffered a loss, and he finally understood what Yang County Commander reminded him of at the beginning, and now he told Xiao Ding again.

"Of course I know that." Xiao Ding said unhurriedly, "However, when I said that I took the initiative to attack, I didn't mean to lead the troops to fight the main force of the Hu people. ”

"Tian Dutong, do you have any good strategy for attacking the enemy?" Yang County Ling saw that Fei Wen called Xiao Ding Dutong, so he followed suit.

"I don't dare to say a good idea, but I have an idea." Xiao Ding said slowly.

"Speak up and listen." Yang Xianling was a little looking forward to it.

"I heard from the spies that the Hu people's grain and grass hoarding point is in Tuhe Town, we might as well send a group of men and horses to Tuhe Town to burn the Hu people's grain and grass, the Hu people will inevitably be in turmoil when they run out of food and grass, and we will attack them again when the time comes......" Xiao Ding told his strategy.

In fact, this is not a ploy that Xiao Ding came up with by himself, he has read a lot of novels and TV series such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" before he traveled, and there are too many people in it who like to use this ploy.

Although, in Xiao Ding's opinion, this kind of rotten street strategy has been used by many characters in novels and TV series. However, it has to be said that this strategy is indeed very effective when the two armies are fighting. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao won a decisive victory because he burned Yuan Shaotun's black nest of grain and grass.

Today, Xiao Ding also wants to use this strategy to burn Li Daocheng's grain and grass.

"Tian Dutong, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Huang Wenlong listened to Xiao Ding's words, and suddenly opened his mouth, as if he had been enlightened, and instantly enlightened.

Fei Wen's eyes lit up when he heard it, he was a person who could not afford to be unprofitable, and as soon as he came to the front line, he caused the army to lose more than half of it, in fact, there were also reasons for his meritorious service. At the beginning, he brought the troops to the front line with a majestic manner, thinking that he would come to fight a big victory and go back to invite merit and rewards, be promoted and make a fortune, but he did not expect to return with a big defeat. Now that he heard Xiao Ding's strategy, he also thought that this plan was feasible, if this strategy was successfully implemented, then the day of defeating Hu Ren would not be far off, and of course he would not let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Clever plan, wonderful plan, Tiandu Tong clever plan!" Yang County couldn't help but praise.

Several leaders agreed with Xiao Ding's strategy, the next step should be to send troops, how to send troops is actually a university question, who will execute, who will respond, how many people to bring, how to implement after arriving, these must be taken into account. This is also a test of a commander's ability to command troops.

The matter of dividing troops and assigning generals naturally fell on Fei Wen. Fei Wen immediately decided that this matter would be carried out by himself, and tonight, he would take 10,000 horses, dry firewood, sulfur and other fire-burning things to Tuhe Town to burn the grain and grass of the Hu people.

As soon as Xiao Ding heard Fei Wen's plan, he immediately knew that this commander was a straw bag. If he was the commander, he would first send someone to the area of Tuhe Town to check the terrain first, and then find out how many soldiers and horses there were guarding the grain and grass in Tuhe Town, and where they had sentry posts. After doing a good job of these reconnaissance work, we will send troops.

And sending troops will not bring 10,000 soldiers and horses all at once, this is to burn grain and grass, not to charge, it is enough to bring a few thousand light horses, bring 10,000 soldiers and horses over, the target is so big, it is easy to be discovered by the enemy's sentry, and Fei Wen did not arrange to receive the soldiers and horses, and intercept the soldiers and horses rescued by the Hu people. You must know that the camp of the Hu people is not far from Tuhe Town, and if the Hu people find that Tuhe Town is on fire, the camp will inevitably send troops to the rescue. At that time, if Fei Wen wants to get out of the way, it will definitely be impossible.

The leaders of Dingbian City were discussing how to burn the grain and grass of the Hu people. In the big tent of the Chinese army in Hu Daren's camp, Li Daocheng also discussed with the military advisor Mao Yanshun and the generals how to deal with Dingbian City.

"I think that Your Majesty should have received a letter from the Great Prince now, and reinforcements should arrive soon." Mao Yanshun pinched his fingers and counted the days.

"The military advisor is right, it will take about two or three days for the messenger to ride a fast horse to Xingqing City." Li Daocheng echoed on the side.

Xingqing City is the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Yongzhou.

At this time, a soldier came in to report: "His Royal Highness the Emperor, there is a flying pigeon from Xingqing City to pass the book." ”

"Come up and show me." Li Daocheng hurriedly said.

The soldier presented a note, Li Daocheng opened the note and saw that it read: "The national division has been sent to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to support, the soldiers and horses have been sent, don't worry!" "There is no signature, but there is the imprint of the emperor's seal on it. Li Daocheng knew that his father was afraid that he would be in a hurry, so he flew the pigeon and passed the book. I was so happy that I immediately burst out laughing.

Mao Yanshun saw that Li Daocheng laughed after reading the note, and knew that there must be good news, so he asked, "Why is the eldest prince laughing?" ”

"Military advisor, my father said that he has sent a national advisor with an army of 30,000 to support."

"It turns out that the national teacher is here!" Mao Yanshun was also very happy.

"What, the national teacher is here? That's great! All the generals also rejoiced.
