It is said that Xiao Tang and the forbidden army of Bianjing and Jingbei Road, who went to the border court, passed through Xijing Henan Mansion and entered the Yongxing Military Road, passed through several military states such as Yu, Tong and Dan, and finally entered the Yanyan Road Governance Office, and at the same time served as the boundary of Yan'an Mansion, a military important place held by the Northwest Border Court of the Great Song Dynasty and the Xia State.

It's just that it will take a day to reach the state capital, and the distance from the Song-Xia border here is even farther, seeing that it is getting late, Xiao Tang immediately gave an order and ordered the three armies to camp and rest. The soldiers of all the departments also immediately took action, according to the local terrain and terrain, and the soldiers of each department set up tents, buried stoves and cooked food, and even sent out sentinels to patrol in a step-by-step manner, everything seemed to be very orderly.

Although the officials and soldiers along the way were received by the officials of the state government, and the places they passed were far away from the Song and Xia war zones and located under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and such an army with a large number of soldiers and horses, even if there was no patrol and patrol outpost, there would not be any way where the green forest and the rogue would dare to come to attack if they were too long, but Xiao Tang still meticulously supervised the three armies to strictly arrange the camp defense according to the wartime regulations, and never accepted the warm invitation of the state officials, but has always been stationed in the camp with the soldiers of the whole army.

Now it is different from the situation when he was in charge of Fuhe East Road, and the henchmen who accompanied Xiao Tang on the expedition were limited, and it was inconvenient to communicate with the henchmen in Erlongshan, Daimyofu, Mizhou, Jiangnan and other places during this period, so all the matters that needed to be dealt with in the green forest during this period, and even the events that might occur after Yan Qing went to Henghai County in Cangzhou and Chai Jin met, Xiao Tang could only temporarily appoint Yan Qing and Lu Zhishen, Sun An, Mei Zhan and others to improvise and deal with them by themselves during this period.

This can also allow Xiao Tang to have enough energy to supervise the forbidden army soldiers and horses transferred to the side court by order of the Privy Council from Bianliang and Jingbei Road in Tokyo. Although after arriving in the Song and Xia war zones, these troops also had to be redeployed, and then transferred to different war zones through the arrangements of the commanders of the Song army, such as Tong Guan and the old and small breeds, but at least during the current period, Xiao Tang, as the deputy supervisor of the army, also had the power to command these Song army troops.

Xiao Tang also found that since these Song army troops who were ordered to rush to the border court could be ordered to go to the battle, they were naturally much stronger than the officers and soldiers who were weak in the combat strength of the ordinary military states in various military states, but he could also see that the spiritual outlook of the soldiers and horses of each unit, the combat quality of the soldiers and soldiers, and the ability to coordinate the command of the troops were uneven. It is because Xiao Tang will also wear all his clothes every day, and inspect the camp with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Hua Rong and other cronies, but if there is any lax military discipline and negligence in accepting the general's order, Xiao Tang will definitely severely punish the generals who lead the troops.

And among these Song troops transferred from the hinterland of the Beijing Division, there are really many soldiers who have never fought on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and there are also some low-level generals who completely rely on the filial piety of the military commanders and the golden silk, and get through the relationship to get a military post in the army.

But Rao is a little tired of the officials complained in their hearts, but they could only hold back if they were not convinced.

Although during the march, Xiao Tang nominally had a supervising army Cai Ying sitting in the town, but the son of Cai Jing, the minister of power, and the son-in-law of the Great Song Dynasty royal family soon after, was a civil official who did not know anything about military affairs. If the officials of the state capital along the way were warmly invited, Cai Yan went to the city government to attend the banquet and socialize, and by the way, the officials who were attached to Cai Jing and the party in terms of political tendencies played and laughed, and when the officers and soldiers set off on the road again, Cai Yan returned to the army and lived quietly in the van, and basically did not get along with other army generals.

The more important reason is that Cai Ying has a sense of superiority of a literati doctor in his bones, and he also knows very well that he is going to the border court as a supervisor according to his father Cai Jing's instructions. Cai Yan didn't have the slightest intention of dealing with those puppets, and he didn't bother to use his scheming methods.

Other generals will more or less feel Cai Ying's indifference to the martial arts, who would be shy to slap the son of Cai Jing, who despises the generals, and be bored with themselves?

As a result, although the ordinary generals were resentful, they were afraid that Xiao Tang, the secretary of the Privy Council, who was also responsible for the duties of the general of the transfer and compensation of the reward and punishment of the forbidden officers, would make a note in the book of rewards and punishments for the march, and turn back to the court to participate in their ineffective crimes; As a result, the soldiers who had suffered a lot during the march gradually developed the habit of waiting for the day, but whenever the military affairs such as camping, sentry patrols, and marching formations were deliberately supervised by Xiao Tang during the march, many soldiers who were originally slack and wasted in their practice and their ability to act in accordance with the generals became more and more proficient.

And just as the forbidden army of Bianjing and Jingbei Road arranged the camp according to Xiao Tang's instructions and sent ranger sentries to explore and cruise, there was a team of neatly draped horse troops galloping on the hillside not far to the north.

"Pei is in charge, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the two prison armies are stationed in front."

Among them, there was a general who looked like the commander of the battalion in the army, pulled the reins, stopped to build a pergola, and looked at the Song army camp where Xiao Tang was not far in front of him, and he suddenly praised: "The soldiers and horses transferred from the Beijing division are also very upright. ”

And the commander called Pei Tong was a dignified man with a bearded face and a fleshy face, he stepped forward on his horse, only looked at it for a moment, but spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into the ground, and scolded: "This fucking is another fart! Knowing how to set up camp is a bird's skill? What kind of bird prison officer, to put it bluntly, is a sycophant instructor's family is happy, and he comes to the pickled magnates of white-collar military exploits. Lao Tzu grass his eighteenth generation ancestors, and countless sons of the Western Army shed blood to their lives, but they want to achieve the credit of the traitor! Yang Xianggong was also eccentric, and did not transfer me to attack Weizhou, but taught me to come and lead this group of birds, and he was also obedient when he sprinkled his family, and he had to suffer from the birds! ”

Pei Tongzhi was scolding in his mouth, and the Song general immediately stepped forward and persuaded him: "Pei Tongzhi, the prison army transferred from Bianjing is all important ministers of the court, and you must be careful with your words, otherwise if you provoke the two prison soldiers to dislike, not only Yang Xianggong, but also the old and small people must not look good on their faces." ”

"Teach him to bite my bird! Lao Tzu doesn't care if the guys like it or not, surnamed Wu, what kind of bird are you, to take care of the family's affairs? ”

Although it seems to be the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the same department, this Pei Tongzhi is obviously very unkind to the general in front of him, and he looked coldly at the Song general in front of him, who did not have a look of joy and anger on his face, and felt even more angry, so he said disdainfully: "Hehe... Didn't you always like to shoot the horses of the powerful? Receiving the work of the Prison Army of the Laush, it is up to you to serve the bird officer who is the prisoner! ”
