The three points Xu Xiang said made everyone nod in agreement, but Xu Xiang didn't speak for a long time, and looked at Ning Zhou and Luo Min.

Xuanyuan looked at Xu Xiang suspiciously, then looked at Ningzhou and Luo Min, and said, "Ningzhou, I arranged for you to investigate Mingheng's matter, you can go back to Ningdu with Min'er now." ”

Ning Zhou saw that Xu Xiang didn't seem to want to let him know what his fourth plan was, and he also had some self-knowledge in his heart.

Until now, Qin Zhiwei's 20,000 people plus the 10,000 advance army, a full 30,000 people have not taken Zhongning City, which made Xu Xiang lose trust in the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

Although when she met Qin Zhiwei at that time, she was prompted by the Linglong system, and Qin Zhiwei had already recognized her identity as the commander, but it did not mean that she would agree with Xuanyuan Ding like Xu Xiang.

Moreover, she and Huo Lingzhuo should have reached some agreement in private, so 30,000 people could not capture Zhongning City, which had less than 20,000 defenders.

"Yes!" Ning Zhou and Luo Min left in response.

After the two left, Xuanyuan Ding asked: "Changsha, divide them from Ningzhou, what is the fourth point you want to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you think the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is surrendering to you?" Xu Xiang finally spoke.

Xuanyuan Ding shook his head slowly, "Qin Zhiwei gave me the order of the hundred ships, and then moved to the people of the Changsun clan. It stands to reason that I did get the help of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. Moreover, as soon as Jianding County was captured, Ningzhou couldn't wait to come over to show its loyalty. On the surface, they did intend to surrender to me, but I didn't see any substantial help, and I always felt that something was not right, and they might be plotting something. ”

Xu Xiang nodded thoughtfully, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow has been in business for thousands of years, and people's hearts will change after all, and after such a generational change, it is no longer the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow that was loyal to Great Xia at the beginning.

Although, on the surface, they were subdued by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, but they did not show the sincerity they should have shown.

What's more, now the interior of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is also a mess, and there is no unified voice.

"The Great Xia Dragon Bird has been hiding its strength, to use a bad word, it is to see the wind and make the rudder. So, I don't trust them. Your Majesty should not trust them too much. Therefore, the fourth point is that His Majesty should have made a plan early and sent thoughtful people to investigate the internal situation of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and find out their true intentions as soon as possible. ”

"But there's nothing I can do about it. Although there are many internal battles in the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, if you want to break into it and obtain its true intentions, I have no one to use. ”

"How can there be no one?" Xu Xiang smiled slightly, then whispered something in Xuanyuanding's ear.

Because Xu Xiang's voice was very small, none of the people around him heard it.

After listening to Xu Xiang's words, Xuanyuan Ding's face showed a very surprised color, "He? Will it work? ”

Xu Xiang nodded, "I think that when Your Majesty hits Zhongning City, he will definitely come over to see Your Majesty." ”

"Okay." Xuanyuan nodded solemnly, but he was still a little worried in his heart.

"It's not too early, I have to pack up and go back to Huanghetan Town as soon as possible, and the next thing Your Majesty will discuss more than the young patriarch......"

Then Xu Xiang discussed the next detailed plans and countermeasures with Xuanyuan Ding and Changsun Mingyue alone, and then returned to the former army camp.

After returning to the camp, he quickly asked Chen Zhi, Tan Qihe, Jing Shu, Xu Yi, You Qingling and other commanders at all levels in the army to meet him.

They all knew that Xu Xiang hurriedly went to the Houjun camp tonight to see Xuanyuan Ding, and he didn't come back until just now.

"Everyone, huh?" Xu Xiang walked straight to the position of the main general and said.

"General Xu, I don't know what's going on?" Chen Zhi was the first to ask.

"That's right, I went over tonight to discuss something with Your Majesty. Next, I have important things to leave, and from tomorrow onwards, all the important affairs in the army will be handed over to Captain Jing. Xu Xiang pointed at Jing Shu and said.

Jing Shu showed a surprised look on his face, and pointed at himself with his finger, "Me? General, I'm just a non-qualified lieutenant, how can I be in charge of the army for you? ”

Although Jing Shu is his descendant, he has not made any contributions. Therefore, after the formation of the army, only one infantry lieutenant was sealed.

Although Chen Zhi is a general, because he was also a cavalry general before surrendering, he was also awarded the rank of miscellaneous general of the sixth-rank Yingwu general, and even Tan Qihe was awarded the rank of a miscellaneous general of the seventh-rank rank.

"General Chen and General Tan are in charge of the vanguard army, and there are many things that need to be done. You don't have to worry about any of this, and you'll be in charge of the rest. Xu Xiang said, "General Chen, General Tan, do you have any questions?" ”

Originally, Xuanyuan decided to let Chen Zhi come under Xu Xiang's command, just to let Xu Xiang train Chen Zhi well.

Therefore, the military power naturally cannot be handed over to Chen Zhi, and Jing Shu is his own lineage, loyal enough to himself, and quite strategic, which is very suitable for commanding the former army.

As for Xu Yi, he was born as a Xinghuo hidden guard, and he is not very suitable to be the commander.

You Qingling, this woman is not bad, but it is difficult to convince the public, so she can't consider it for the time being.

"The last general commands!" Chen Zhi and Tan Qihe responded in unison.

"All right, you all go down. Jing Shu stays, I still have some things to explain. ”

Everyone left in response, Jing Shu's face was still a little unconfident, and he said to Xu Xiang nervously, "General, I still feel that I am not competent. ”

"Jing Shu, don't be presumptuous. This attack on Baiyuan City, you will regard it as a military training. Xu Maohui, the defender of Baiyuan City, has an old relationship with Chen Zhi, and he may be able to take it without much effort. ”

"The most important thing at the moment is to integrate our 2,000 people with the 4,000 soldiers of Heyuan Mansion. You know all my training methods, and these 6,000 people will be handed over to you for unified management and training. Jing Shu, everyone is not born with everything, and they need to study hard. I think you can do it, you have to have confidence in yourself. ”

Jing Shu was deeply moved, and hurriedly said, "General rest assured, the last general will definitely not live up to your trust!" ”

"Alright, it's late, you can go back and rest." Xu Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said.

Xu Xiang planned to leave after breakfast the next day, but just after dawn, he was woken up by the sound of quarrels outside the camp.

He fell asleep late last night and was woken up by the soldiers, who were severely sleep-deprived.

He sat up from the bed, a little annoyed in his heart, and before he had left, the soldiers in this battalion were in a mess, what they looked like.

He frowned and shouted, "Someone! ”

"Instructor!" A small soldier outside the camp heard his shout, and hurriedly rushed in, this little soldier is from Huanghetan Town, and he is used to being called an instructor, even if Xu Xiang is a general, he can't change his mouth for a while.

Xu Xiang's face was very ugly, it was not the name of this little soldier to him, but the noise in the camp.

"What happened? Why is it noisy early in the morning? ”

"Instructor, it seems that there is a dispute over the gang's battalion." The creep replied.

There was a commotion from the gang's camp, and it was early in the morning, and nine times out of ten it was a matter of eating.

This problem can be big or small, and if it doesn't make a good fuss, it will mutiny.

Xu Xiang hurriedly got up, and the little soldier brought his clothes over when he saw this, and waited for him to put them on.

Before he arrived at the gangman's camp, he saw a commotion outside the gangman's camp, and the entire gang's camp was surrounded by water.

The outermost people were surrounded by the soldiers of Heyuan Mansion, about six or seven hundred people, and inside were the soldiers of Huanghetan Town, about two hundred people.

The soldiers on both sides said a word, and the quarrel of nearly a thousand people was like a vegetable market, and they couldn't hear what was happening at all.

Xu Xiang noticed that the rice bowls were overturned on the ground, and the rice was also spilled all over the floor.

Who knows that Chinese food is hard work.

A trace of anger flashed in Xu Xiang's heart, the granary of Heyuan Mansion was burned by Jiang Yiming, and now that food is so scarce, these soldiers will also waste this grain so much!

"What are you doing? Noisy! Is it a rebellion? Xu Xiang shouted angrily, he was woken up without sleeping well, which made him unhappy, and now that the food is so wasted, where can he still hold back the raging anger.

Xu Xiang's angry shout made the soldiers dumbfounded.

"See the general!" All the soldiers saluted him in unison.

Xu Xiang walked over, and the soldiers automatically made a way out of the way, and he walked into the gang's camp.

Seeing that the dozens of people in the gang's battalion were beaten and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and the soldiers in Huanghetan Town had angry looks on their faces.

The soldiers of these battalions were borrowed from Qin Zhiwei, and they usually ate and drank together, trained together, and formed friendships with the soldiers in Huanghetan Town.

They were beaten like this, and the soldiers in Huanghetan Town naturally couldn't tolerate it.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Xu Xiang glanced at everyone with cold eyes and asked.

"Instructor, they beat the brothers of the battalion!" A soldier in Huanghetan Town pointed at the soldiers and said angrily.

"Why are you beating people?" Xu Xiang asked.

"General, it's not us who deliberately hit people! It's this group of people in the gang's camp who have gone too far and sent us food with mud and sand, how can these brothers eat? ”

So we came to confront them, and found that most of the food in the camp was mixed with mud and sand! They must have thought we were pawns, so they did it on purpose. The brothers were angry for a moment, so they accidentally injured someone! ”

When Xu Xiang heard this, he looked at the soldiers in the battalion with a cold look and asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

When a soldier fights, he has to eat enough before he can go to the battlefield, how can he eat this grain mixed with mud and sand?

Seeing Xu Xiang's eyes, the leader of the battalion was very timid, and said with a sad face: "General Xu, it's not that we have mixed mud and sand into the grain, but that the grain itself is all mud and sand!" ”

"Knives!" Xu Xiang stretched out his hand behind him, and the soldiers behind him handed over his saber.

He slowly walked to the cart with the pile of grain, cut through the grain bag with his knife, and saw that the white rice grains were mixed with a lot of mud and sand.

He did not believe in evil, so he cut through the other grain bags, and opened ten grain bags in a row, eight of which were mixed with mud and sand, only one bag was clean white rice, and as for the other bag, it was basically mud and sand.

"What's going on with this batch of grain? Why is it mixed with sediment? He naturally believed that it would not be the soldiers of these battalions who replaced the food, and the problem must be in the hands of Lu Jing'an, the logistics officer who distributed the food.

After the granary of Heyuan Mansion was burned, the eldest grandson Mingyue asked the rest of the grain and the grain he brought to be gathered together and distributed in a unified manner.

Lu Jing'an, the grain chief of the Chengnan granary in Heyuan Mansion, was recommended by Chen Zhi to the eldest grandson Mingyue. It is said that he is meticulous and conscientious, meticulous in planning, and very upright in character, so he will put the logistics power in his hands.

"This is uniformly distributed. The subordinates don't know! The soldier of the battalion replied.

"Someone! Hurry up and invite Lu Jing'an over. Xu Xiang said to his subordinates.

After the people left in response, Xu Xiang glanced at all the soldiers, "Everyone, go back to the camp!" General Ben will definitely find out about this matter! ”

"But if anyone dares to make trouble! Hugh blames General Ben for engaging in military law! ”

"Yes!" All the soldiers left the battalion in groups.

It didn't take long for Lu Jingan to be invited over. And Chen Zhi and other people also received the news and rushed over.

When he saw these grain bags mixed with mud and sand, his face was full of confusion, and he began to inspect the grain bags one by one, and it didn't take long for him to seem to have found something.

"Lu Jing'an, you distributed all this food, tell me, what's going on?" Xu Xiang looked at him coldly and asked.

"General Xu, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Lu Jing'an replied.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi also opened his mouth and said, "General, Supervisor Lu is very measured, and he will definitely not be able to do such a thing as mixing mud and sand." The last general felt that someone else was to blame Supervisor Lu, and he hoped that the general would see it! ”

Lu Jingan saw Chen Zhi speaking for him, and smiled to express his gratitude.

"Nothing to do with you? You distributed the food, so why doesn't it matter to you? Could it be that the sediment in this grain was put in by General Ben? Xu Xiang asked angrily.

"Whether General Xu put it in or not, my subordinates don't know, but these grains were brought by General Xu." Lu Jingan said unhurriedly.

"What did I bring here? Wait...... Wait, are you saying that this grain is the batch of grain I handed in? ”

"Yes, General, please see. The grain bag of this bag of grain is marked with a two-character that represents the grain of the granary in the east of the city, and the three characters marked are the grain of the granary in the west of the city. The grain bags of several granaries in Heyuan Province are marked on them. However, General Xu, the batch of grain you handed over did not have any markings. ”

Xu Xiang saw that most of those grain bags were not marked, while a small number were marked.

He used his knife to cut through the marked grain bags, and sure enough, many of them were clean white rice, without a trace of sediment.

"Joe, old thief! Dare to deceive me! ”
