Maya Pass, inside the tent of the Chinese army.

Zhang Lu looked sad and sighed.

Su Lu sat behind the handsome case and glanced at Zhang Lu.

"Lao Zhang, you can't do this, I don't know, I thought that our Left Route Army was about to be swept away."

Su Lu held the ancient book in his hand and said while reading it.

Zhang Lu sighed, stood up, walked a few laps in the handsome account, leaned on the handsome case, and asked Su Lu.

"Master Hou, you said that this time Li Kun and Su Ping went to sweep Yunling Village, nothing will happen?"

"Something is going to happen."

Su Lu put down the ancient book in his hand and spoke.

"Yunling Village is located in the middle of the Yunduan Mountains, more than 900 meters high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there is Chen Si this internal response, but there is little hope of deceiving the door of the village.

I estimate that they will be recognized at the gate of the village, and after this battle, dozens of people will have to be lost. ”

Zhang Lu let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, the sadness on his face disappeared, and he looked excited.

"There are only a few dozen people, which scares me to death, I thought that I would have to lose a few hundred people, so that there will be fewer and fewer people in our Left Route Army."

Zhang Lu walked around the tent excitedly, and at the end, he lay down in front of Su Lu again, looking at Su Lu expectantly.

"Master Hou, you said that we are going to ask for soldiers from the camp, can you approve it?"

"I can't approve it."

Su Lu picked up another ancient book and read it, the ancient book is unreliable, there are many books on the art of war, but there is no one about the military formation.

Zhang Lu looked disappointed when he heard this, and sat down next to him decadently, his face full of sadness again:

"If we continue to fight like this, there will be fewer and fewer people in our Left Route Army, and in the end there will not even be 3,000 people, how should we fight in the future."

Su Lu waved his hand indifferently: "What are you afraid of, with me, even if it is two thousand people, I can drag tens of thousands of horses from Tulle." ”

"Newspaper"

The scout brigade commander Lao He strode into the camp.

Zhang Lu asked Lao He angrily: "Lao He, how is the investigation, how many soldiers and horses does Tule have in Beizheng, do we have any hope of taking it?" ”

Lao He smiled bitterly: "Beizheng originally only had 1,000 Tule soldiers and horses, and the 7,000 soldiers and horses led by Hasule went directly into the city after arriving in Beizheng, not to mention, yesterday morning, another 2,000 Tule soldiers and horses entered the city from the west, and it is roughly estimated that there are no less than 10,000 Tule soldiers and horses hoarded in Beizheng City. ”

Zhang Lu looked confused: ", they are still increasing troops, how can we fight, the left side is completely unable to fight!" ”

Lao He and Zhang Lu looked at Su Lu together, and Tule continued to increase troops to North Zheng, not only transferred the soldiers and horses of the northern line, but also transferred a lot of troops from Yuci and Xitunling, and if this continues, North Zheng will only become more and more difficult to fight.

Su Lu nodded: "It's really impossible to fight, before our soldiers and horses break through eight thousand, we don't have to fight at all." ”

Outside the tent, there was a commotion, and a crowd of people and horses neighed.

"It's Li Kun, they're back."

Zhang Lu flashed out of the tent.

Su Lu also came out of the camp, and Lao He's group of guards also followed.

In the camp, there were a lot of people and horses.

Li Kun and Su Ping just got off the horse, the two were talking about today's results, Yunling Village is indeed difficult to capture, but I didn't expect Chen Si to mix next to the big boss, looking for an opportunity, after being stabbed by Chen Si, the bandits surrendered like an avalanche.

"There were no casualties among the brothers, only a stinky boy who didn't see the road clearly and fell and injured his foot and neck?"

Zhang Lu looked at the military judge in disbelief, with a look of disbelief,

Li Kun called Chen Si, who was beckoning the captive, and patted him on the shoulder and praised him.

"Thanks to the four Chen brothers, the old grandson showed his feet in the walled gate, and was recognized by the small leader of the bandits who guarded the door, and seeing that the big war was about to break out, Xiao Si chopped the leader of the mountain leopard with a knife, and shouted with his head."

"A group of bandits threw their knives one after another, and surrendered to us in this way, and took Yunling Village without moving a single sword."

"Look at those captives, there are eight hundred bandits in Yunling Village, and we brought them back to one of them."

Zhang Lu looked at some young men mixed with the old and weak women and children, and excitedly praised Chen Si: "Okay, Xiaosi, you are the first merit to break through Yunling Village, what about the military judge, you have all remembered it, Chen Si has made outstanding merits, and he has been promoted to captain, by the way, Lao Lu, is the merit enough to be promoted to accompany the lieutenant of Rong?" ”

The military judge held a booklet in his hand and unfolded it to Zhang Lu: "It's almost, this time it's only a first-level beheading, a little bit." ”

Su Lu clapped his hands and said: "Enough, it's enough to take down a bandit village without blood." ”

"Come on, separate the young and strong from the old and weak, women and children, and separate those who have blood on their hands and those who have not been bloody."

Zhang Lu was a little puzzled: "Master Hou, why are you separated, aren't you going to send it to the camp?" ”

Su Lu glanced at the camp with high morale, "We need to ask for merit with our heads, we can't just send some old and weak women and children, leaving the bandits with clean hands, and the little leaders who are stained with blood and evil, all of them have their heads cut off and sent to the camp to ask for merit." ”

"There are also these young and strong, old and weak women and children, since they dare to be bandits, then they will be reformed through labor, and while we have not moved the camp, we will build a village and town here."

The surrounding guards were all confused: "Villages and towns? ”

"Burn bricks, build houses."

Su Lu commanded, and glanced at Zhang Lu at the same time:

"Prepare a merit report, write the credit to a big one, although there is only a first-level beheading on the battlefield, but it is of great significance, it is almost a bloodless blade, please accompany the rank of captain to Xiaosi, and the rest of the people are also invited to the first level, and the camp will not be given."

"Su Ping Li Kun, take Chen Si with you, and continue to sweep the surrounding bandit villages, focusing on those who colluded with the Tule people, and pulled out these villages first."

"The commemoration of the dead brothers, but you still point to these."

Li Kun and Su Ping clenched his fists in his chest, turned around and gathered his troops.

Zhang Lu called the military judge, discussed and wrote the official report, and after showing it to Su Lu, he used the seal of the governor of the Left Route Army, plus the heads of some bandits who had just been beheaded, and sent them to the camp.

Inside the camp in Beiyang.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lin Tong is presiding over the military meeting, and the account is full of scarlet-robed generals and green-robed captains.

Li Qing sat on the main seat, closed his eyes and recuperated.

"This is the report of the Left Route Army, they swept away a bandit village that was linked to Tule, beheaded several people, and took Yunling Village almost bloodlessly."

Lin Tong handed over the booklet in his hand to He Gong and continued to speak:

"This matter still needs to be discussed, Su Hou Ye has just lost the battle, so he wants to use such a means to boost morale, it's a good mistake, but this method is not advisable, what do the bandits have to clean up, they still have to fight with the Tulle people."

Zhang Gu laughed below:

"General Lin said it easily, there are tens of thousands of Tule soldiers gathered in Beizheng County, and the number is still increasing, you go and attack Beizheng County to show me! Yanzhou is almost unable to see the shadow of the Tule soldiers, what is the purpose of your General Lin still pressing the middle route army and refusing to send troops? ”

Lin Tong ignored Zhang Gu and continued: "The matter of the annihilation of the Jiawei Battalion of the Left Route Army, the camp is preparing to go to the three provinces, what do the generals think?" ”

He Gong's squinted eyes opened slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't worry, the left army is stationed at the Maya Pass, and the deterrent to Tulle is great, more and more Tulle soldiers are converging on the left road, and the threat in front of the middle route army and the right army is getting smaller and smaller."

"Once the war starts, half of the Tule soldiers will be missing, and the middle and right sides will be able to directly hit the Yumen line, and then the merit will be discussed, Su Houye's meritorious service is outstanding, and it should be the first merit, and it will not be too late to report to the three provinces at that time."

Lin Tong nodded when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth for the next military discussion.

Li Qing suddenly spoke: "Su Lu told me before leaving that he had already found General Xiao, but there were Tulle spies at the top of the camp, so General Xiao didn't show up." ”

Li Qing said, his eyes swept over the generals and captains present, and looked at the door of the camp.

"General Xiao, please."
