On the Ming side of the Yalu River, there is a watchtower about two miles, such a watchtower also has the role of a beacon tower, once the enemy situation is discovered, after ignition, it can be transmitted to the Kuandian camp at the fastest speed.

The river is bordered by an artificial dike, then an open field, and back there are stepped fortresses where soldiers can be hidden, each equipped with a cannon.

This kind of artillery is not the latest product of the Shenyang Arsenal, it is very bulky, but the power is not small, especially with the addition of flowering shells or blasting shells, if it is fired in a directional manner, the power is not worse than that of the new artillery, the reason why this kind of artillery is selected is just in case, so that even if the position is lost, the enemy does not want to transport these artillery in a short time.

The forts were connected by tunnels, crisscrossed by tunnels that could not only quickly maneuver the army, but also counteract the onslaught of enemy cavalry.

Ye Xun nodded while inspecting, and the candidate for the Kuandian guard was indeed not wrong.

Cao Bianjiao arrived one day earlier, and the young man was forgetful, and after that, he also understood that his uncle was for his own good, and the reason why he refused to stay by his uncle's side was that he still had some face.

After knowing that Ye Xun was coming, he thought that Ye Xun was going to fight with someone again, so he rushed over with a thousand sharp knife battalions.

Like the Dare Battalion, although there is no shortage of soldiers in Liaodong now, the Sharp Knife Battalion has not been expanded, and the number of soldiers has always remained at 1,000.

Seeing Ye Xun standing on the frozen riverside looking at the other side, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but say excitedly: "Father-in-law, but are you going to fight Jiannu?" The brothers are all suffocated, you give the order! The brothers of the Sharp Knife Battalion were the first to be killed in Pyongyang."

Ye Xun turned his head and glared at him, and snorted coldly: "I'm going to transfer you back to the capital and find a few old masters to teach you a good lesson, so that you won't always be so impetuous."

As soon as he heard that Ye Xun was going to transfer him back to Beijing, Cao Bianjiao's face immediately collapsed.

"Father-in-law! Let the old master teach me, you might as well kill me, even if I am wrong, can't you! ”

"It's just very easy to break, I don't understand such a simple truth, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the army to you?"

Cao Bianjiao's face turned red when he said this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly took a diagonal step and knelt down in front of his uncle Cao Wenzhao, and said in a low voice: "Don't blame uncle, my nephew knows that he is wrong."

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help his nephew, he knew that in Ye Xun's heart, his status was not as good as this nephew.

"My own family, I don't need to say much, I don't want to thank my father-in-law for his kindness!"

Ye Xun waved his hand and said to Cao Bianjiao: "Your bravery, the whole army is obvious to all, this is your advantage, and it will also be your fatal shortcoming, with your military exploits, you should have been in charge a long time ago, the reason why I still keep you by your uncle's side is that I hope you will learn more from your uncle's calm and wise, this time I don't promote you, in fact, I mean, and I also tell you, if you are still so frizzy in the future, these thousand people will not let you take it"

Ye Xun's words can be said to be very powerful, he rarely spoke to his subordinates like this, as the so-called deep responsibility of love, in the future when the Central Plains is pacified, when Ye Xun wants to go to the distance, he will take this love general.

Cao Bianjiao, who said this, was suddenly shocked, and once again gave Ye Xun a deep salute, and said: "Father-in-law's golden and jade good words, Jiao must keep it in mind"

The criticism is out of the way, and it's time to give appropriate praise.

nodded and said: "But you kid has to say that it's okay, don't embarrass me, take your people to go with me to a slave in two days."

Speaking of this, Ye Xun suddenly seemed to think of something, turned his head to Cao Wenzhao, and said, "I heard that there are still monks in the Yongning Temple on Nuergan Mountain, but is it true?" ”

Cao Wenzhao shook his head blankly and said: "The last general only knows that there is a temple there, but he doesn't know what the specific situation is."

Ye Xun's suppression of Buddhism is known to almost the world, and there are many people who believe in Buddhism, whether it is among the people or officials.

Hearing Ye Xun ask, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but think in his heart, isn't it that Ye Gonggong is addicted to cleaning up the monks, and he won't let go of such a remote temple?

Cao Wenzhao didn't know that Ye Xun had always admired those ascetics, and on the way to Yongning Temple, he had inquired about Yongning Temple, and someone told him that Yongning Temple currently has only two old monks, and he has always been self-reliant, never going out to ask for alms, and is deeply respected by the local people.

If that's the case, Ye Xun still plans to go and see them.

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Sun Dong who rushed over with his men.

To ask Sun Dong to come over, one is to assassinate Fan Wencheng, and the other is to ask him to send people to the extreme north to find Huang Taiji's shipyard.

Back in the camp, after the Cao family's uncle and nephew retreated, Sun Dong first reported to Ye Xun about the handling of Han Ping this time, and made a report to Ye Xun in person.

Regarding Han Ping's matter, Ye Xun can be said to be very sad, but there is no way, he also has negligence in this matter.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "His family has been settled, right?" ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, according to your orders, his wife and children were sent to Jiangnan, and his family property has not been touched."

Ye Xun turned his head and stared at Sun Dong for a while before he said, "How is Fan Wencheng's plan?" ”

Although Ye Xun didn't have a word of blame, the gaze just now was enough for Sun Dong to remember for life.

Secretly wiped a cold sweat, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, rest assured, his subordinates have sent the most effective men to handle this matter, and he will never let his father-in-law down."

In the previous letter, Ye Xun had ordered Sun Dong to start operating this matter, there are many ways to kill people, and the most clever assassination is to make the death of the target like an accident, which is also the effect that Ye Xun requested.

Ye Xun didn't continue on this matter, walked to the map, pointed to the coastline north of North Korea, and kept drawing north.

"Send someone to look for it along this line immediately, if my expectation is correct, the shipyard of Huang Taiji must be in this direction"

Looking at the direction drawn by Ye Xun's finger, Sun Dong's heart rose again, because he really didn't expect that there would be a shipyard so far away.

But I can't help but be a little unconvinced, it's so cold here in Liaodong, and if you continue to the north, it can't be even colder!

Ye Xun is the boss, and no matter how unconvinced he is, he has to do it, so he agreed repeatedly.

There was no one else in the tent, and Sun Dong was about to retire, but was stopped by Ye Xun.

"Brother Sun, you are a lot older than me, it is not an exaggeration to call you Brother Sun in private, you and I are acquainted in Weimo, now both the situation and life are developing in a good direction, the poor and the cheap are together, and the rich and noble also want our brothers to share, I don't want any of our old brothers who came out of Liaodong to fall behind, let us be good brothers for a lifetime, Brother Sun can understand what I mean, right?"

Ye Xun's words are not only serious, but also affectionate.

Sun Dong Huo Ran raised his head, looked at Ye Xun blankly for a moment, and then hugged his fist heavily, then turned around and strode away...

Ye Xun was a leader in his previous life, and he knew that he couldn't blindly add power to his subordinates, so it seemed okay for the time being, but in the long run, it would inevitably make his subordinates separate from you, and once the heart left, it would be difficult to get it back...
