The resentment of Yang Feng and other generals in the army against Duan Xuan slowly accumulated with the dispatch of troops by Yuan and Cao, the civil strife in Luoyang, and the long-term ineffectiveness.

When the Son of Heaven moved eastward, Yang Feng and other generals of the Hedong Department accumulated the resentment in their chests to the peak.

Fortunately, before the news of Kwantung reached the army, Duan Xuan had already decided to march and defeat Ma Teng.

So this grievance was finally eliminated invisibly by defeating Ma Teng and recovering Chang'an.

However, this does not mean that Yang Feng and other generals of the Hedong system have eliminated their criticism of Duan Xuan.

This time, as soon as he heard that Duan Xuan still wanted to advise Yan Xing on the tactic of "clearing the wilderness with strong walls and matching the lazy enemy", Yang Feng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

And after listening to Yang Feng's words, Duan Xuan didn't know what he was referring to, and his old face turned red, but he spoke before Yan Xing spoke.

"The old man is a person who doesn't know the overall situation, but it is precisely because of the repeated changes in the Kanto region that this is the last battle in the pass, and we need to be cautious. Ahem, after all, the eastward migration of the Son of Heaven also has an impact on the hearts of the people and the army. ”

"Therefore, the strategy of retreating from the enemy needs to be a perfect strategy. The strategy of exhausting the enemy seems to ignore the overall situation, but in fact it is the strategy that really takes into account the overall situation! ”

Yang Feng's face was grim and he wanted to refute it, but Yan Xing stretched out his hand to stop him.

"In this battle, I also discussed with Shusheng, Ziqi and others when I came, and the generals had their own interests, and after a long time, I should be cut off from my heart!"

Since Yan Xing said so, although Yang Feng still had something to say, it was not good to say it at this time, he immediately fell silent, and Duan Xuan no longer insisted on his own proposition after seeing Yan Xing's statement.

After talking about several other military affairs, Duan Xuan and Yang Feng took their leave.

After they retreated, Yan Xing returned to his Hu bed in the big tent, and casually untied the sword and other objects at his waist and put them on the desk one by one.

"General, it seems that the difference between this expedition to the west and General Yang is not small!"

Pei Wan's beard had not yet grown, but his courage was not small, he chuckled and piled a few volumes of military books on the desk, and then picked up Yan Xing's sword and put it on Lan Qi in the tent, and said to Yan Xing with a smile.

Yan Xing also smiled and nodded when he heard this, but narrowed his eyes a little tiredly and did not speak.

The generals are either "brave fighters" or "cautious fighters", and their own interests are naturally very different, but as the commander-in-chief, he needs to be cautious at all times, so that he does not listen to or believe partially, and after patiently listening to the opinions of all parties, he will consider it and make appropriate and accurate decisions according to the situation.

As for what is the perfect strategy, it is all to deceive the yellow mouth child, if there are so many perfect strategies, throughout the ages, so many generals will not need to worry about it.

Although his eyes were squinting, Yan Xing's inner thoughts were still alive.

In fact, deep down, Yan Xing advocated a decisive battle in a short period of time in order to defeat Han Sui's army as soon as possible.

As early as not long after arriving in the Ganling camp, Yan Zhu, who was left behind in Hedong, sent someone to send the cart of Hedong jujube mentioned in his letter to Yan Xing.

Originally, according to the strict instructions to live within the means, after the Kwantung crisis was lifted, Hedong only supplied grain and grass on the side of the Western Expeditionary Army, which could be supported until the end of the year.

However, after the autumn, Yan Zhu, who is familiar with the art of stargazing and celestial time, noticed the abnormal phenomenon of sudden changes in the climate this year, and he said that the stars are shifting and the celestial phenomena are changing, and it is very likely that the cold winter will come early this year, and there will even be a famine in the coming year, so the counties must reduce the planting of wheat, reserve grain, mobilize people's resources, and build weirs to store the stream, so as to prepare for the famine year.

Yan Zhi was not good at interfering in the military affairs of the Kansai region, so while supplying the grain and grass of the Western Expedition army as usual, he also did everything possible to reduce expenditure.

Yan Xing has always asked to lead by example and follow the example, so Yan Zhi, who stayed in Hedong, did not wait for his orders, and sent a cart of Hedong jujubes.

This is Yan Zhi's silent admonition, and it is also to Yan Xing to experience this kind of life of using jujube as a ration in advance, as long as this is the case, he can really put himself in his shoes and make appropriate decisions.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing, who couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, suddenly opened his eyes.

Pei Xuan, who turned around and returned with the paperwork, saw Yan Xing open his eyes, thinking that he was uncomfortable sitting in armor, and asked Yan Xing:

"General, do you want to disarm and rest for a while?"

Yan Xing shook his head, he would go to the barracks to inspect the barracks later, to see if the horsemen and horses who followed him had settled down, and at the same time, he also had to inspect the garrison of the camp and comfort the wounded and sick soldiers in the army.

He suddenly opened his eyes at this time, but he wanted to ask Jia Xu, Xun You and other advisers in the tent for advice.

Jia Xu is old, and the movements in his hands have slowed down, and he looks slow when he sits down to inspect the case, but if you pay close attention, you will find that his eyes are still shining brightly.

"Jia Gong, military advisor, you have all read the documents sent by the Hedong County Government Kuaima, if I want to lead the army to a quick battle, how about it?"

Xun You's body moved, but he was not in a hurry to speak, in the military affairs and government affairs of Guanxi, Jia Xu, who was familiar with the Yongliang customs and people's conditions and had insight into various forces, was the most relied on by Yan Xing.

Seeing this, Jia Xu also knew that Xun You would not be the first to speak, and he had heard of the arguments and differences between Duan Xuan and Yang Feng before, but he did not express his stance to support either side.

At this time, Yan Xing expressed his position and took the initiative to ask, Jia Xu pondered for a while, and then said to Yan Xing:

Lao Tzu said: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise. Those who win others are powerful, and those who win themselves are strong. If the general wants to win Han Sui, he should know that Han Sui and his army! ”

Yan Xing nodded, and did not shy away from his origin.

"I was originally from the martial arts family of Jincheng, and the name of Han Sui has been heard for a long time. After following the Liangzhou rebels, he showed his martial arts strategy, and Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, Wang Guo and other Liangdi heroes were folded in his hands one by one, which can be described as the best people in Xizhou! ”

"As for the army under his command, there are no more than three. One is the family soldiers of the Han family in Jincheng, the other is the powerful subordinates of the powerful families in Jincheng and Longxi, and the remaining one is the Qianghu tribe that responded to the troops that followed him. ”

Jia Xu bowed slightly, Yan Xing was on the opposite side of Han Sui, and he was able to look at Han Sui's civil and military talents in a neutral manner, and he had indeed achieved the situation of "knowing people and wisdom".

However, there are still some things that have not been pointed out, but they need to be added by themselves.

"Han Sui's famous book is in Xizhou, and the old decay has also intersected with it, looking at its way of success, the old decay thinks that it lies in two words: 'cunning' and 'thick'."

Yan Xing's eyes were blazing, he listened attentively to Han Sui's words, and when he heard the words "cunning" and "thick", he had an epiphany, but he was not in a hurry to agree, but continued to listen carefully to what Jia Xu said.

"Han Sui's 'cunning' lies in his changeable, insidious and cunning, and Han Sui's 'thickness' lies in his kindness and strength, which is deeply popular. Therefore, although Bian Zhang and the kingdom are also famous scholars and can win the hearts of the people, they are inferior to them and cunning, so they are folded in the hands of Han Sui. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou Qianghu were cunning and violent, but they did not win people's hearts, so they were killed by Han Sui, who was in a lower position. ”

Jia Xu agreed with Han Sui's verdict, and Yan Xing agreed very much, and he immediately thought of Ma Teng.

Looking at Ma Teng's actions, he actually accounts for the words "cunning" and "thick". It's just that in terms of cunning and changeable and winning the hearts of the people, he is still inferior to Han Sui, the righteous brother, so he will be repeatedly subject to Han Sui in Liangdi, so he has to lead the army east into Guanzhong to seek opportunities.

retracted his thoughts, and listened to Jia Xu continue:

"The two military forces are equal, and the general wants to win the battle quickly, which is nothing more than the two ways of 'using fraud' and 'dividing forces', although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but it is still difficult to 'use fraud' in front of the cunning Han Sui. The only feasible thing is the 'focus' way. ”

"But Changshi just said that Han Sui also occupies a 'thick' word, which is deeply popular!"

Yan Xing didn't ask Zhao Hong for advice just now, but Zhao Hong was particularly concerned about this battle with the Liangzhou coalition army, and when he heard Jia Xu say this, he consciously found a flaw, and couldn't help blurting out.

Jia Xu glanced at Zhao Hong and smiled indifferently:

"Indeed, Han Sui's grace and power are both powerful and controlled, so the subordinates are willing to serve the dead, the heroes of each family bow their heads and obey their orders, and the Qianghu tribe gathers to follow, this is not something that can be won in a short time. Therefore, the 'division of forces' mentioned by the old decay is not to divide and disintegrate the coalition army, but to divide its strength and confuse its military heart! ”

"It's-"

Zhao Hong choked for a while, but there were still doubts in his heart.

Since Jia Xu said that the Han Sui army could not be divided and disintegrated in a short period of time, why could he be sure that it could disturb the military spirit of the Han Sui army in a short period of time.

Yan Xing was also curious in his heart, he looked at Jia Xu, did not speak, and inquired with his eyes.

"It is easiest to disrupt the Qianghu tribe of the Han Sui army in a short period of time, the plan has already been thought out, and it is the most difficult to disturb the military heart of the tribe composed of the children and guests of the Han family in Jincheng. As for disturbing the morale of the powerful martial arts of each family, whether it is difficult or easy, it depends on the general? ”

Yan Xing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and he didn't rush to ask anymore, but turned his head to look at Xun You and asked:

"What does Xun Junshi think?"

Xun You felt that Jia Xu was still unfinished speaking, knowing that he had reservations, and at the same time left room for himself, Xun You, who thought of this in his heart, smiled, and only then responded to Yan Xing and said:

"Jia Gong's words, the theory of seeking the country. You can only pick up the good words of your predecessors and add a few more chances of victory for the general. One is 'sufficient food', and the other is 'strong soldiers'. ”

Hearing Xun You's words, Yan Xing smiled. Before he could say anything more, one of the shogunate officials had already rushed to the door of the tent from outside the tent and said loudly to the people in the tent:

"General, General Yang Bi sent soldiers to report, saying that Zhang Zhonglang of Huaili City would send officials to escort a few enemy horses, saying that it was a messenger sent by Han Sui and wanted to come to pay homage to the general!"
