In the past three days, 500 antelopes, more than 100 wild deer, more than 60 alpacas, and many small animals such as hares have been caught.

It was impossible to kill and eat all of the animals at once, except for the slaughter of more than twenty antelopes, the rest of the animals were fenced together and prepared to be taken back to the soldiers to eat.

"Shizi, there are really a lot of wild things here, why don't we wait for the troops to come back from the exercise, and we will hunt for a few more days?"

The Central Plains is densely populated, and many uninhabitable mountains and forests have also built villages, and most of the wild animals that were originally large have disappeared.

"In a few days, the troops will leave for the army, and they can't waste time on hunting." Li Mingyuan categorically rejected Li Dawei's request.

"Shizi, you can't transfer in immediately after the exercise, and it will take a few days for the troops to make logistical arrangements, so it's better to take advantage of a few days of free time to arrange for the cavalry brigade to go out hunting, and the captured antelope and wild deer can also be used as food for the troops."

Li Dawei's words have some truth, the cavalry brigade will hunt on the grassland for a few days before moving in, and according to Li Mingyuan's hunting calculations in the past few days, before the troops set off, they can catch at least two or three thousand prey, and these living animals are very convenient to migrate, and they do not need to be transported by a large number of people like grain.

"After the exercise, I can give your cavalry brigade three days to hunt, but you can't go beyond the control of our army." Li Mingyuan thought for a moment and said.

"Obey the Son." Li Dawei answered, and suddenly found that Li Mingyuan immediately hung a cloth bag, and there were still things moving inside.

"Shizi, what's in the bag?" Li Dawei said curiously.

"Just a few hares," Li Mingyuan said, handing the cloth bag to the guards beside him, "and bring them to my tent." ”

Li Mingyuan was worried that after Li Dawei saw the four little guys, he would beat them up, and hurriedly asked the guards to take them away.

After catching the two cougars, Li Dawei was very satisfied, did not carefully ask what kind of animal was in the cloth bag, and after a little trimming, he left with the troops and the captured prey.

"Dawei, who do you think will win this exercise?" On the way back, Li Mingyuan asked.

"Zheng Guosheng has a better chance of winning." Li Dawei thought for a moment and gave his own answer.

"Tell me your reasoning."

"First, Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming are veterans and have rich experience in combat, while Commander Feng was originally in charge of the affairs of the reconnaissance battalion and lacked the experience of commanding a large army to fight.

Secondly, not long after Commander Feng entered the cavalry regiment, he did not have a deep run-in with his soldiers, and he fought head-on, not Zheng Guosheng's opponent, but for these two reasons, it was difficult for Commander Feng to win. ”

"Well, what you say makes sense, but I still think Feng Changqing has a better chance of winning."

"Since the prince admits my opinion, why do you still think that Captain Feng is more likely to win?" Li Dawei was puzzled.

"Come, I'll tell you why." Li Mingyuan beckoned to Li Dawei and narrowed the distance between the two, and when Li Dawei was much closer to him, Li Mingyuan suddenly changed his mind.

"Dawei, I won't tell you the reason first, why don't we make a bet?"

Li Dawei was speechless for a while, his feelings were addicted to betting, the last time he was ambitious and made a bet with himself to occupy the land near the Andes, and this time he didn't know what to see.

"Dawei, are you cowardly and don't dare to bet with me?"

"Where? What do you say? Li Dawei came back to his senses and replied immediately.

"We're going to bet on who's going to win this time."

"What's the point of just betting, Shizi, why don't we make a lottery?" Li Dawei came up with an idea and said with a smile.

"Okay, what do you say you would bet on?"

"Just use the cougars captured this time, and whoever loses will give their cougars to the other party."

"I agree, but if you lose, I don't want your cougar, as long as you promise me a hundred new words before you transfer, how about it?"

Li Dawei frowned, as one of the few major generals in the Chinese Independence Army, he had to spend a lot of time every day to read and learn military knowledge, and if he knew another hundred words, then he would have no time to rest every day.

"Dawei, are you worried that you won't be able to do it, and you don't dare to bet with me?" Li Mingyuan said with a smile.

"It's better than that, can Lao Li be afraid?" Li Dawei thought about it for a while, thinking that Li Mingyuan's chances of winning were very low, so he simply said.

"Shizi, if you lose, don't be reluctant to let go of that little lion." Li Dawei said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't regret it."

When Li Mingyuan and Li Dawei came back, it was already evening, and Feng Changqing, Zheng Guosheng and others also returned to the barracks, waiting for Li Mingyuan to come back.

"Hehe, you guys are back so soon, how is it, who won the exercise?" Li Mingyuan walked into the big tent and saw Feng Changqing and Zheng Guosheng and others standing together, and asked with a smile.

Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming's qualifications are older than him, and Feng Changqing did not speak first.

"Lao Zheng, did you win?" Li Dawei, who followed Li Mingyuan in, asked Zheng Guosheng directly.

"Brigade Commander, I've disappointed you, I and Lao Zheng are not as good as others, and we lost to Regiment Commander Feng." Zheng Guosheng lost the exercise, and he was embarrassed to speak, and Sun Yanming, who was beside him, could only speak hard.

"What? You two actually lost, how did you fight! At first glance, Li Dawei still didn't believe it, but seeing the bitter faces of Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming, he knew that the matter was true, and couldn't help but reprimand loudly.

Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming lost the exercise, only when Li Dawei was angry with them, he lowered his head and accepted Li Dawei's reprimand.

"Okay, the results of the exercise have come out, you first let them talk about how they lost the exercise." Li Mingyuan stopped Li Dawei's reprimand.

"Last night, when the soldiers in the camp were sleeping, Commander Feng's troops suddenly arrived and surrounded the camp when Lao Zheng and I didn't react." Sun Yanming briefly told the story of the attack on the camp.

"You must have been discovered by Commander Feng in advance, so it caused the troops to be attacked, Commander Feng, isn't that so?"

"Yes, Shizi, at the beginning of the exercise, I sent more than 30 reconnaissance teams to check the terrain around the exercise, and then sent reconnaissance personnel to guard near the water source that was discovered, so I found the traces of Deputy Brigade Commander Zheng's troops."

"Wait for the rabbit, evergreen is doing a good job." Li Mingyuan praised Feng Changqing with a smile, turned his head and asked, "Lao Zheng, Lao Sun, now do you understand why, failed?" ”

"It was our carelessness that we did not carefully guard against the other party's sneak attack." The situation is stronger than people, Sun Yanming said in a low voice.

"Lao Zheng, what about you?"

"I ...... I admit it. Zheng Guosheng was not convinced, but he didn't dare to show it, and hummed.

War is about results, and no matter what means you take, as long as you defeat the enemy, then you will win.

"Zheng Guosheng, let me ask you, defeating you in a dignified manner is a victory, isn't it a victory to surprise and sneak attack and capture the enemy?"

Li Mingyuan's eyes were sharp, and Zheng Guosheng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"The reason for the failure of your exercise is not carelessness, but over-superstitious past experience, thinking that you have fought too much, and you don't pay attention to young people. Being captured by a surprise attack on the other side doesn't that tell the story? Li Mingyuan's voice was stern, and he didn't dare to speak out when he reprimanded Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming.

"Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and there is not much time left for you to turn in, I hope you will learn the lesson of this time and not make similar mistakes again."

"Obedience." Defeated by a young man who was more than ten years younger than himself, and was reprimanded by Li Mingyuan, Zheng Guosheng and Qun Yanming couldn't hold their faces, and immediately expressed their position.
