"All the commanding soldiers and Marco have been arranged?" Zhou Nan asked Gao Yuan, who came in.

"This Gu'an city is too small, with 5,000 people and horses, and it is really not easy to settle down. It was just arranged yesterday, and today Yang Datou is here again with his pro-army. As for Da Lang, your three teams of Eagle Guards are easy to settle, and one yard will be dispatched. "In this Gu'an City, where it takes less than half an hour to walk from the east gate to the west city gate, it is not easy to settle 5,000 people and horses.

There are tents, but they are not in an emergency, and living in a tent is not as warm as living in a house after all.

"Why doesn't Brother Yang stay in the cottage for a few more days?" Zhou Nan sent people back to call the three teams of Eagle Guards, and Yang Keshi heard that he was going to fight Xiao Gan, so he rode over with the pro-soldiers who had just welcomed back his family.

"Yang Datou heard that he was going to fight with the Xi people, of course he wouldn't stay in the cottage with peace of mind." Gao Yuan is also a person who can't be idle, so he naturally understands Yang Keshi's intentions, "Yang Datou also said that he inherited your love this time, and he was thinking about how to repay it, and he wouldn't spend the New Year in the cottage with peace of mind." ”

"Are the people who went to Yanjing back?" Zhou Nan asked with concern again.

"Not yet. It's just that Da Lang, what are you doing at this time when you send someone to find a cobbler and fur? Is it difficult to give the soldiers leather clothes to keep out the cold? Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"What kind of cold?! Isn't that enough? "Zhou Nan has always been a crack soldier policy, and those who stay are capable people. Zhou Nan and Yelu Yu Liyan had already asked the imperial court to issue a leather coat to each soldier to protect them from the cold. The cavalry went out to fight more, not only did they get an extra pair of leather pants, but even the leather jacket was thicker than that of the infantry army.

"Did the Eagle Guards come back?" Zhou Nan asked again.

"Not yet, it's not urgent." It was Zhou Fu who answered this time, and as soon as the people of the Eagle Guards came, Zhou Nan arranged things for these more than 20 people, and they all went out of the city without resting.

Gao Yuan knew that Zhou Nan had sent people from the Eagle Guards to find out where Xi people's grain and grass were stored.

Thinking that the piles of grain and grass were secretly lit by these sneaky Eagle Guards, Gao Yuan felt a little distressed in his heart: Kill these Xi people, and the grain and grass in the city can be snatched back and sent to Yanjing, Zhuo Zhou and other places to be stored, isn't it better than burning a fire?

But thinking about what Zhou Nan said, Gao Yuan also knew in his heart: Only when a fire burned the grain and grass of Xi people, Xi people would be fluctuating in people's hearts and flee without a fight; If the Xi people have enough food and grass, they will inevitably rely on the large number of people to fight a decisive battle with the Wansheng army, and although they can defeat the Xi army at that time, they will inevitably have losses.

"Da Lang, even if you find out where Xi Ren's grain and grass are, it must be the most heavily defended, how can you sneak into the city quietly and burn the grain and grass? Even if it burns, the Xi people will definitely seal the city, how can the Eagle Guards withdraw? Gao Yuan asked, also worried that Zhou Nan would bring people into the city by himself.

Zhou Nan smiled and didn't speak.

"Da Lang, how do you suffer people like this? It's like guessing a lantern riddle. Yang Keshi pushed the door in from the outside, and with the cold air outside, it suddenly made the people in the room much more excited.

Seeing that Yang Keshi was also here, Zhou Nan said: "I was about to send someone to invite, but Brother Yang came by himself." ”

Yang Keshi rolled his eyes at Zhou Nan and said, "Da Lang said well, if I hadn't come by myself, I wouldn't have known that you and Brother Gao were here for the Spring Festival." ”

Zhou Nan grinned and said: "I was about to ask you to go to Uncle Yang for the New Year, but you didn't appreciate it, I knew that I would stay in the cottage and let you come." ”

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that you won't be able to stay in the cottage for the New Year, right?" Yang Keshi heard Zhou Nan say that he wanted to spend the New Year in the cottage, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "I heard that you left the princess in the cottage?" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Nan saw that Yang Keshi suddenly asked about the princess, and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, but I heard that the princess and the little lady of the Gao family are going to a place to celebrate the New Year, but I'm afraid that if you go to the cottage for the New Year, only an old Zheng Tou will be happy."

Zhou Nan took a long breath, he was really worried about Yu Liyan and Gao Yun arguing in the cottage just now, and now he heard that the two were going to celebrate the New Year together, he was happy, and said with a smile: "It's not bad to celebrate the New Year with Lao Zhengtou - come, let's not talk about the New Year, you and Big Brother Gao still need to cooperate with you and Brother Gao to burn grain and grass." ”

Yang Keshi listened to Zhou Nan talk about business, stopped laughing, and sat down with Gao Yuan. Zhou Nan spread out a map, which roughly drew the directions of Yanjing, Jizhou, Gu'an, Anci and other cities. This is just Zhou Nan's own painting based on the last time he and Zuo Xiaosi went to the east to explore. It's simple, but it's easy to see.

Zhou Nan first pointed to a point on the map and said: "This is the Gu'an City where we are now, the upper left is Guoyin City, the east of Guoyin City is the Xiang River, and above the Xiang River is the Three Rivers." Guoyin and Sanhe are still guarded by the old Liao soldiers, while Xianghe is now occupied by the Xi army. ”

Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan naturally both knew what Zhou Nan said, neither of them spoke, waiting for Zhou Nan to say his plan.

"Taking Guoyin and Xianghe in the north will block the road between Anci and Jizhou, and the southernmost city of Anci will be like a lonely bird, and I will be slaughtered. Agu Zhe in Anci City is very heavy, and I heard that Jizhou was attacked by this person. If he defeated Aguzhe, it would be equivalent to Xiao Gan losing an arm. ”

Zhou Nan looked down at the map, pointed to the top and said: "The key to this is to take Xianghe, and Xiao Gan, who is sitting in Jizhou, and Agu Zhe, who is in this Anci City, dare not send troops to rescue." ”

Yang Keshi had been in the army for a long time, stared at the map and said: "If Xiao Gan and Agu Zhe dare not send troops to rescue each other, it is best to ask Chen Bing Sanhe, so that Xiao Gan does not dare to leave easily." And Anci is a big man here, and Aguzhe will not easily divide his troops to save Xianghe. ”

"Exactly! Big Brother Gao and Brother Yang, the two of you will each lead two thousand cavalry troops, first recover Guo Yin City and Sanhe City, and gain a firm foothold. As for the attack on the Xianghe, I will have four or five days to prepare here, and when I am ready, I will capture the Xianghe in one fell swoop. Then he turned his head and cleaned up Aguzhe again. ”

"What Da Lang is preparing, but what are the leather goods and cobblers?" Gao Yuan thought of the leather goods and leather craftsmen that Zhou Nan had mobilized from Yanjing City, and asked puzzledly.

"We'll know when the time comes. If it can be done, even Jizhou can be easily won. "Zhou Nan's guanzi is getting bigger and bigger.

At the same time, rolling their eyes, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi simply didn't ask.

Although I believe that Zhou Nan can come up with a clever plan every time and defeat the opponent, this time Xiao Gan's subordinates are known as 80,000 troops, and all of them are brave and good at fighting, which is by no means comparable to the weak and incompetent Song army.
