Thousands of soldiers and horses are menacing, if the bandits on Huaiyang Mountain are not the slightest bit vigilant, then they will not be entrenched in Huaiyang Mountain for so many years.

The distribution of forces on Huaiyang Mountain is complicated, and there is naturally not only one side of the force to inquire about the situation outside the barracks, as long as there are some famous cottages on the mountain, they have sent people down. As for some small forces, they don't need to find out any news, at this time, they only need to cling to the big forces nearby.

The investigation is mutual, and the scouts in the army are far more professional than the bandits in the mountains, and in just over an hour, the scouts have already touched the bandits who came to inquire about the news.

The generals in the mercenary guards were not idle, and after sorting out the affairs in the barracks, they gathered in the central military tent to discuss matters.

As the second-in-command of the mercenary guard, Cao Bin's outfit is very ordinary, wearing light gray armor, there is no decoration on the armor, and there is no hideous and brave shoulder swallowing beast, the only conspicuous thing is probably the delicate and shiny heart guard on his chest. The hairpins and small flags on the helmets were also only prepared according to the official rank of the thousand households.

However, a truly temperamental person does not need to use clothes to highlight his character, a string of prayer beads, a brush, or even a movement can make him look extraordinary.

The books in his hand and the beard of appropriate length added a lot of points to Cao Bin, five points of bookishness, five points of heroism, people can't help but admire, the Confucian general who is both civil and military is probably like this.

The beauty of a person, whether a man or a woman, is made up of two aspects: appearance and temperament!

Cao Bin's appearance is only seventy points, and his whole face looks square, the only thing that is interesting is his pair of Danfeng eyes, which can make people's eyes shine when he laughs. Although his appearance is ordinary, Cao Bin's temperament is one of the best, and the calm and slightly melancholy uncle is the only killer from the girl to the young milk.

The men of the Ming Dynasty do not rely on their faces to eat, so few people will pay attention to the appearance and temperament of others. But there is one person who is an outlier, and he is Lord Cao Weicao, the number one in the mercenary guard.

Cao Wei has always regarded himself as a beautiful man with a good demeanor, but now he finds that there is a person who is even more masculine, and his heart is naturally unhappy. If it weren't for so many people present, Cao Wei would have wanted to press Cao Bin's face to the ground and stomp on it a few times.

Cao Bin obviously felt the unkindness in Shangguan's eyes, he was also a straight person, and asked directly: "My lord, is there anything wrong with my subordinates?" ”

"Cao Bin, it's not that the official has nothing to provoke, what are you doing with books in the barracks all day long? Isn't it good to be a rough man? ”

Cao Bin said shyly: "My lord, the last general was originally a scholar, and now he can be regarded as a disarming and returning to the field, so I want to read the book again." The books that my subordinates read now are different from the books they used to read, and my subordinates used to read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but now they read the Art of War......"

"Oh? Then have you thought of any way to conquer Huaiyang Mountain? ”

Cao Wei didn't believe that Cao Bin could see what the way was coming after watching the art of war for two days, so he just reprimanded Cao Bin when he was embarrassed, and it was good to lose his face.

Cao Bin smiled slightly: "My lord, don't say it, the last general really thought of the upper, middle and lower three strategies......"

"Listen to the best first!"

Cao Bin's face twitched, he really didn't want to chat with this Shangguan, others would ask the next policy first, and then ask in turn from bottom to top, but this Shangguan didn't follow the routine at all, it was really annoying!

"My lord, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, the way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, the heart is the top, and the soldier is the bottom. The bandits on Huaiyang Mountain actually have a lot of grievances, and it is only because the army is pressing the border that they have to resist together.

As long as my mercenary guards retreat, the bandits will inevitably slack, and then send a wise and brave person to go deep into the bandits' cave to provoke one or two, then the bandits will be chaotic, and then we will sneak back to Huaiyang Mountain, take advantage of its surprise, and the inside and outside should be combined, and there will be gains!

It's just that this person who has gone deep into the bandit's den is not easy to find...... My lord, why are you laughing so obscenely? ”

Cao Wei glanced at him angrily and said, "Cao Bin, if it weren't for the fact that you are the original family of the Sprinkle family, the Sprinkle family would kill you......"

……………………………………………

In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the moon, the starlight was dim, and a figure came out of the barracks, quietly sneaked into the darkness, and slowly moved in the direction of Zhang Baling.

Halfway up the mountain, a few big men jumped out of nowhere, and the leader shouted in a low voice: "Who is coming?" ”

"Tengshan, why are you here?"

Teng Shan heard that the voice was a little familiar, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Strategist, you're back!" ”

Cao Wei laughed and said, "I didn't have a good time under the mountain, and I missed you brothers again, so I came back to see you." By the way, it's so late, why are you still squatting here? Is there still a fat sheep that travels at night? ”

Talking nonsense is easy to come by, whether it is in terms of wording or expression, Cao Wei is very satisfied with his on-the-spot performance.

"Strategist, didn't you see the barracks when you went up the mountain? I don't know which turtle grandson is full of food and has nothing to do, and came to encircle and suppress our Huaiyang Mountain with soldiers and horses, the owner of Dazhai was afraid of the sneak attack of those officials in the middle of the night, so I asked me to wait here, but I didn't expect to meet you, the military advisor. ”

"Those officers and soldiers are here to encircle and suppress Huaiyang Mountain?" Cao Wei pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought they were here to play!" Now the pressure of being a soldier is great, I can't eat or sleep well, and I am still being squeezed by Shangguan. Now that spring is coming, it is also the right thing for people to go out for an outing, so don't make a fuss, maybe people will leave tomorrow! ”

“…………”

Teng Shan and the others didn't speak, they just laughed and chatted about ridicule, and thousands of soldiers and horses came out for an outing, which was simply a big joke.

Leaving a few people to squat, Tengshan took Cao Wei to the White Snake Village, perhaps because there were officers and soldiers stationed under the mountain, and the people in the cottage had not slept peacefully, and the patrol guards were very dense.

Some people know Cao Wei, and when they see him, they are very excited, as if they have been doped. Some of them are new chicks who have just gone up the mountain and fallen to the grass, they don't know Cao Wei, and they all heard when they saw this situation.

"Sun Tou'er, when did our cottage have one more military advisor?"

A big man with a meaty face next to him said with a smile: "Our cottage has always had such a military advisor, and it was he who led our White Snake Village to destroy the wild boar village and dominate Zhang Baling." Afterwards, the military advisor did not receive the credit, and went down the mountain alone to explore the rivers and lakes, which can be called a chivalrous man!

Our military division is not only a military division, but also the master of the second village, and the person who thinks about the master of our big village. If there is a next life, my Sun Dabao also wants to be a person like a military advisor, not only resourceful, but also amorous......"

A red figure flashed, and Cao Wei begged for a hug happily. Ning Jiuniang stepped forward and slapped him to the ground, raised her eyebrows and said, "You have no conscience and still know to come back?" ”

Sun Dabao shuddered, shook his head and said, "Just be resourceful, forget it if you are suave......"
