On the first day, the entire army of northern aid advanced nearly 100 miles.

In the course of twelve hours, excluding the time for camping and resting and eating on the way, the march lasted for eight and a half hours, or seventeen hours in the modern sense.

Due to the large amount of grain, grass, baggage, and military weapons carried, the speed of the army naturally could not always maintain the state of forced march.

"An hour is about thirteen miles away, hehe, teacher, except for the unknown Khitan leather room army, in the entire Central Plains and Jiangnan region, our Yulin Right Guard is the only one." Yang Lie boasted of himself with a radiant spirit.

As if he hadn't heard it, Li Zhongyi paced in the big tent with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time to listen to the loud reports of the senators, "Counselor, Jiazi District 2, I found a few suspicious businessmen, and they have been taken." ”

"Prime Minister of Counsel, Ding Shu District 9, someone rode a horse to break through the pass, and he has been killed."

Li Zhongyi nodded, and was very satisfied with the work efficiency of the dozens of senators around him.

The so-called senators are actually the staff team formed by Li Zhongyi in accordance with the structure of the German General Staff.

The military generals of this era, represented by the folding family, mostly adopted the traditional method of leading troops from father to son or brother to brother.

These methods of leading troops condense the combat experience and lessons of the entire family in participating in the regional struggle for hegemony, and for outsiders, they are a secret that cannot be passed on.

The problem is that this secret passed down by blood is tantamount to tying thousands of burdens into one. Once, the commander who led the troops made a mistake in judgment, then it must be a tragic ending in which the commander was incompetent and exhausted to death.

Li Zhongyi is also a famous marshal who has led troops for many years. He deeply felt that the affairs of the military were unusually complicated. It is impossible for the commander of an army to pinch even trivial power in his hands.

So. As early as the establishment of the new army in Lingzhou, Li Zhongyi had already implemented the system of senators in the army in a planned and step-by-step manner.

Grain and grass, there is a special person responsible for overall scheduling; Ordnance is under the jurisdiction of the Quartermaster Counselor, and baggage logistics is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Counselor.

In the core part of the march and battle, there is also a large group of combat senators, who draw maps in a timely manner for the commander-in-chief of the first army, and make corresponding preliminary judgments according to the comparison of the shape of the enemy and us.

In order to improve the efficiency of the arrangement of troops. Under Li Zhongyi's arrangement, the military maps were divided by the senators into a number of numbers mixed with heavenly stems, earthly branches, and Arabic numerals.

In this way, after the senator gets the information transmitted from the front, he can accurately report to the commander-in-chief the detailed military situation in various directions.

After simplification, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, including Li Zhongyi, was freed from the daily cumbersome military affairs, and the burden was greatly reduced. All they need to do is make the necessary decisions based on the information submitted by the senators.

The army had just been dispatched for a day, and between the roads and trails heading north, no less than eight incidents had been found in succession. It is impossible not to arouse Li Zhongyi's great attention.

"Bai Xing, tell me, what's wrong?" Li Zhongyi beckoned Yang Lie to his side. Staring intently at his face.

Yang Lie sighed and said, "The student really doesn't believe it. The appearance of so many fine works is all nails planted by the Khitans in advance. ”

Liao Shanhe found that Li Zhongyi's attention fell on him. couldn't help frowning, and whispered: "Xiangshuai, I'm afraid it's a combination of inside and outside." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and encouraged: "If you think of it, just say it, it's okay." ”

Liao Shanhe touched his head, shook his head and said, "I'm a pig brain, and I've thought of so much for the time being." ”

Yang Lie was secretly pulled by Liao Shanhe, he knew that it was time for him to come forward, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright: "Teacher, if it is an official gentry of an ordinary state and county, the student thinks that it is actually a very normal thing. After all, the Khitans were powerful back then, and they took Bianjing, how many years have passed? Where the prestige of the Khitan people is, it is inevitable that there are some unscrupulous officials and people, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they should be careful for the northern captives. ”

Li Zhongyi listened carefully to Yang Lie's analysis, and never said a word, Yang Lie blinked, and deliberately introduced the topic into the direction that he and Liao Shanhe had planned in advance, "Teacher, the students are very worried now, there are people in the big camp or in the capital in the north who are secretly communicating with the Khitans, and want to kill people with a knife and secretly eradicate us. ”

When Li Zhongyi heard this, his eyes immediately froze, and he asked lightly, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

Yang Lie sighed lightly and said, "It's just those people, Zhao, Fan, Wang, Li, Murong, and those surnamed Shi are all possible." ”

Li Zhongyi glared at Yang Lie angrily, this kid wanted to kill all the top important ministers in the court.

Liao Shanhe received Yang Lie's eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally took the initiative to stand up and say: "Xiangshuai, all the generals in the army think that stealing can't make wedding clothes for others." ”

"Yes, yes, teacher, haven't you been teaching students that power comes out of the barrel of a gun?" Yang Lie wanted to strike while the iron was hot and persuade Li Zhongyi to preserve his strength and wait for change, "Let's just have a little bit of family foundation, in case we run out, we can only watch others fish us." ”

Li Zhongyi actually had a plan in his heart, but he really didn't expect that Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe would attach so much importance to the guns that were already clenched at hand.

However, after thinking about it, it was not someone else who was the first to pick out the power from the barrel of the gun, this violent meta-rule, it was him, the founder of the Yulin Right Guard (Breaking the New Army).

"Xiang Shuai, His Majesty is seriously ill, and when the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, the strength we have at hand must not be consumed too much." Liao Shanhe forced Li Zhongyi's cold gaze to lower his head, but he muttered to himself, "The last Ming has already been sold to Xiangshuai you, where is it dead, where is it buried." However, where will our tens of thousands of soldiers and their families go in the future? ”

Li Zhongyi can be sure that not only Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe, but also all the generals and colonels in the entire army are pretending to preserve their strength and wait for change, right?

"Have you ever thought about it, if I openly disobey the order, or if the yang is disobedient, what will His Majesty think of me?" Li Zhongyi knew very well that Chai Rong was seriously ill in the army, but in the end he swallowed his last breath in Kaifeng City.

In the meantime, the time left for Chai Rongmou's layout exceeded five months.

Anyone who has speculated in stocks knows what it means to know inside information one minute earlier than others?

Yang Lie has long been familiar with Li Zhongyi's temper, and in the face of Li Zhongyi's questioning, he not only did not have the slightest panic, but took out a letter from his sleeve with a smile and silently handed it to Li Zhongyi's hand.

Li Zhongyi glared at Yang Lie fiercely, it must be this kid who is engaged in tandem in private, Liao Shanhe definitely doesn't have such a big courage.

"Hmph, your thing, the old man is too lazy to look at it." Li Zhongyi's big sleeve threw out a few snow-white manuscript papers, and said in a deep voice, "Take it and take a good look." ”

Yang Lie hurriedly squatted down and picked up the piece of paper that Li Zhongyi had fallen to the ground, he looked at it intently, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. (To be continued......)
