Jiang Anyi returned to his heart like an arrow, refused to delay time, and said with a smile: "Rao Dudu, I have received my kindness, the camp is anxious for supplies, and the deadline given by the marshal is urgent, so let's eat something and hurry forward." ”

Rao Qingshan's face changed, and he smiled dryly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's true, what Master Jiang said." ”

Jiang Anyi didn't care, walked towards the outside of the tent, and said, "I'll go to patrol the camp, and I will be the governor of Rao and take care of myself." ”

Waiting for Jiang Anyi to come out, Rao Qingshan's face turned blue with anger, and he scolded softly: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, a rampant villain." ”

A personal guard entered the account and said with a smile: "Dudu, the yellow mutton has been cut, is it roasted or roasted?" ”

Rao Qingshan scolded with a slashed face: "Get out, eat a fart." ”

Taking advantage of the new defeat of the desert army, the army marched for more than 40 miles, and the soldiers complained bitterly. Shen Shi set up camp at two o'clock, Jiang Anyi found that the soldiers were lazy, and the light drove the servants to work, and the wall was built loosely, and the snow wall was only half a person high, which was perfunctory. These soldiers were brought by Rao Qingshan from Zhenbei City, and the soldiers didn't know the generals, and even the captain who led the soldiers didn't know Jiang Anyi.

Finding that the effect was not good, Jiang Anyi came to Rao Qingshan, Rao Qingshan feigned anger and said: "There are many complaints, anger at his main general, he does not listen to constraints, and it is difficult to teach and control. Master Jiang, you are the main general, who dares not to listen to your orders, you will behead them according to military regulations. ”

Jiang Anyi said: "Ordinary soldiers don't know me, and those who don't know are not guilty, so the governor of Lao Rao sent a banner to reprimand him, so that those soldiers and servants can speed up the construction of the camp together." Although the desert cavalry retreated, but the strength still exists, if the night comes to attack the village, if the baggage is missing, you and I can't afford to be guilty. ”

Rao Qingshan said with a smile: "The marshal has an order, the baggage camp will be handed over to Lord Jiang to lead in a unified manner, Rao should obey his orders, if Lord Jiang is sent, although the order is, but the main responsibility for guarding the safety of the baggage camp can be transferred to Lord Jiang, and this crime Rao can not afford it." ”

Jiang Anyi stared at Rao Qingshan tightly, Rao Qingshan's smile remained unchanged, but there was sarcasm in his eyes, Jiang Anyi came to his senses, it turned out that Rao Qingshan was dissatisfied with his takeover of the baggage camp and intended to slack off.

The military situation was urgent, Jiang Anyi had no intention of arguing, and said straightforwardly: "Since Governor Rao said so, Jiang is not polite." Come, call the flag in the official account. ”

There were forty banners in front of the tent, divided into two shifts to listen to them, and to convey the orders of the chief general at any time. Jiang Anyi's order was handed down, and only six people entered to see it, Jiang Anyi said angrily: "Where are the other flag officials?" ”

Those flags were silent, and their eyes looked at Rao Qingshan who was standing aside. Jiang Anyi asked, "Who is the flag chief?" ”

The men still didn't answer. Jiang Anyi laughed angrily, and sneered at Rao Qingshan: "The good soldiers brought by Rao Dudu, the banner actually dared not answer the question of the main general. It seems that Rao Du Governor has won the hearts of the people, and this big battalion will not be able to command after changing the main general, and this fish Fu Jiang will be returned to Rao Du Dudu. ”

Rao Qingshan's color changed, and he said angrily: "Lord Jiang is going to spray people with blood. Rao Qingshan was frightened out of sweat by Jiang Anyi's words, Jiang Anyi meant that he was raising private soldiers, and they all said that scholars killed people with a pen without seeing blood, if he was asked to play these words to the Son of Heaven, he might really go to the prison to sit in prison.

Not daring to look at the excitement anymore, Rao Qingshan shouted angrily: "Where did Xiong Tuyuan die? What about the others? ”

The flag has always been the henchman of the main general, and most of them are held by the personal guards. Seeing Rao Qingshan's positive face, someone squeaked and responded: "General Xiong said that the governor was in a bad mood, and he went to cook a red stewed mutton for you......"

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Jiang Anyi sneered first and said, "Rao Dudu has a good flag leader who is knowledgeable and interesting, you go and tell him to let him report within half a pillar of incense, otherwise let him go home and become a cook." ”

Before the effort of half a pillar of incense was reached, Xiong Tuyuan ran into the tent and panted: "The flag chief Xiong Tuyuan came to see Lord Jiang." ”

Jiang Anyi said coldly: "As the flag chief, if you don't listen to it in front of the account, you will be guilty of delaying the military situation; The flags under his hands are scattered and undisciplined, and the restraints are not strict, this crime is two, Xiong Tuyuan, can you be guilty? ”

Xiong Tuyuan knew that Jiang Anyi wanted to use himself to establish his authority, and at this time, talking back was no different from looking for death, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Xiong is guilty, please ask Lord Jiang to be punished according to military law." ”

The anger in Jiang Anyi's heart was reduced by three points, and he said: "Xiong Tuyuan is heavily responsible for twenty military sticks, and the other flags that are not in front of the account will be beaten with ten military sticks." ”

Rao Qingshan's face was pale, and the sound of the "crackling" stick outside the tent was clearly slapping him in the face, and he was afraid that Jiang Anyi would take the opportunity to attack as soon as he left, he knew that Jiang Anyi was the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, what if this kid said a few bad things about himself in front of the Son of Heaven?

Finally, after the beating of the military stick, Xiong Tuyuan and others entered the account to thank him, and Jiang Anyi said: "The matter of neglect is over." Pass on my order, let the soldiers help the servants to build the wall, build a watchtower, arrow tower, the front of the wall is all the same, the snow wall should be four feet high, the gun can not penetrate, the general will go to check from time to time, if there is any omission, punish the captain and general of the army. ”

An order fell like a mountain, and the soldiers complained a lot, but when they heard the news that the flags were punished, no one dared to use their butts to test the military might of the main general. In order to combine the way of grace and power, Jiang Anyi ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the dried meat and milk tablets obtained from the indifferent people looted from Buqicha were distributed to the soldiers.

Rao Qingshan's big tent, Xiong Tuyuan limped with the bowl of red stewed mutton to see Rao Qingshan, Rao Qingshan was a good delicacy, smelling the fragrant mutton and forgetting the unhappiness in his heart for the time being, he raised his mouth and chewed it, and he was very happy to eat. Xiong Tuyuan's buttocks hurt and he didn't dare to sit down, Rao Qingshan glanced at him and said, "Why, the executioner showed no mercy and really beat him?" ”

Xiong Tuyuan smiled bitterly: "The guards surnamed Jiang are imprisoned there, and the brothers don't dare to release the water too much, these twenty military sticks really hurt Lao Tzu." Governor, you have to find a way to vent your anger for everyone and deal with the person surnamed Jiang. ”

Rao Qingshan threw a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth, and said seemingly indifferently: "What can I do, the knife is in the hands of others, and I can only let it be slaughtered." ”

Xiong Tuyuan was Rao Qingshan's confidant, understood his temperament, and waited for him to continue after complaining. How do you know that Rao Qingshan changed his temperament, lowered his head and nibbled on mutton, raised his head for a while and praised: "Old Xiong, the mutton you burned is really delicious, the one surnamed Jiang is right, I see that you took off your armor and went home to make money as a cook." ”

Xiong Tuyuan listened to Rao Qingshan's ridicule with a bitter face, and said: "If the governor likes it, Xiong will do it every other day." ”

"Forget it, eat less and taste more." Rao Qingshan wiped his mouth and said, "This mutton should be delicious, the heat should be sufficient, and the time is short." Old bear, don't worry, go back. ”

Xiong Tuyuan came out with a bowl in his hand, and his head recalled Rao Qingshan's words, and the clouds seemed to make him wait for the opportunity. Xiong Tuyuan shook his head, deflated, the gods fight, it is better to move forward.

It was night, the desert rode to rob the village, once in the child, when the ugly time came, when the horn sounded again, the whole night Zheng Jun was so noisy that he couldn't sleep peacefully, and many generals yawned all day. Someone suggested resting until the afternoon before leaving, Jiang Anyi did not allow it, and ordered the camp to be pulled out at the beginning, and there were complaints in the camp, and there was an endless stream of people who came to Rao Qingshan to uphold justice, and Rao Qingshan always warned with a straight face: The order of the main general must not be violated, otherwise Xiong Tuyuan and others will be a lesson from the past, and he will also act according to the order.

Jiang Anyong walked into the big tent, frowned and said: "Brother, just now I walked around, and I heard many soldiers complaining, saying that you don't know how to sympathize with the soldiers, you only know how to give orders forcibly, and the army's heart is unstable, brother, you have to be more careful." ”

Jiang Anyi frowned and thought about it, and sighed: "The soldiers don't know the generals, the generals don't know the soldiers, it's a big taboo in the army, and the marshal asked me to take over the baggage battalion to give me a problem." At present, hundreds of thousands of troops are looking forward to the arrival of the baggage, and there are strong enemies here, resentment inside, and a little carelessness...... Alas, it's hard. ”

"Brother, don't worry, don't you have me to help you", Jiang Anyong said: "The handsome asked you to take over the baggage camp because you know that Rao Qingshan, the old boy, is only willing to move forward at a rapid pace every day in order to ensure safety, and when he arrives at the big camp, I am afraid that half of the soldiers in the battalion will freeze to death." The baggage camp only walks more than 20 miles a day, and the less you go, the fewer mistakes you make, of course, the brothers in the baggage camp are not willing to take risks, they are all spoiled by Rao Qingshan, I took a look at those who complained, most of them were Rao Qingshan's cronies. Brother, if you want me to say that you are soft-hearted, and the punishment for Xiong Tuyuan is too light, these people think you can be bullied. ”

Jiang Anyi said: "It's useless to say that it's useless, you take the light cavalry and be more careful, send the scouts out from all sides, and be careful of the sneak attack of the indifferent people." ”

The team meandered forward like a long dragon, walking in the middle with a heavy load, and light horses on both sides, Jiang Anyi stationed on the high slope, looking at the ten-mile-long team secretly worried, if the desert cavalry attacked, it was difficult to take care of the end and the end, and it was easy to have an accident.

"Go and ask Governor Rao to come." Jiang Anyi instructed the banner. Rao Qingshan deliberately avoided Jiang Anyi, fell far away at the end, and talked and laughed with several cronies. Hearing the call of the flag, Rao Qingshan reluctantly came to see Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Rao Dudu, the battalion is anxious for supplies, and we have to work harder, and if we can travel a few more miles every day, the soldiers of the battalion will be able to get clothing supplies earlier." ”

Rao Qingshan said: "You are the main general, how you should act is just arranged." ”

"Well, Jiang saw that the team was ten miles long, and it was very easy to be attacked by the desert cavalry. In order to protect the safety of the baggage, the team is divided into three sections: the first, middle and the tail, and is arranged according to the formation of a long snake. The head of the desert cavalry attack should be rolled up, the tail part should be bitten back, the middle section should be encircled head and tail, and the cavalry on both wings should maneuver. "After Jiang Anyi came to the camp in the north of Zhenbei, he learned some formation knowledge, and knew what the layout of the formation such as the one-word long snake formation and the two-dragon water formation.

Rao Qingshan is a general, he knows more about the long snake formation than Jiang Anyi, and he secretly admires it in his heart, the best defense in this situation is indeed the long snake formation, forming a phalanx with infantry, cruising on both sides of the light horse, flexible and maneuvering, like a giant python attacking, attacking fiercely. If you don't practice formations and pay attention to coming and going like the wind, you will definitely be trapped.

Jiang Anyi continued: "Rao Dudu, you are a veteran of the battlefield, and the middle section of the Long Snake Formation is the most important, so you will guard it. ”

Rao Qingshan said with a smile: "Lord Jiang, the middle section is where the main general is, if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government, or your lord, you will defend it personally, Rao Mou is an old man, and you will hold the end of the formation." ”

Jiang Anyi did not argue with him, and immediately assigned a team, 70,000 light cavalry 15,000 at the head, middle and tail, and the remaining 25,000 light cavalry were divided into left and right sides to parade and maneuver, 70,000 infantry with 15,000 at the head and tail, 16,000 in the middle, and the remaining 24,000 infantry formed six phalanxes, cooperating with the cruising light cavalry.

The army marched again, the first, middle, and last parts echoed each other from afar, in an orderly manner, and Jiang Anyi's heart relaxed a little.
