After patrolling the camp and making friends with Xu Huang, Yan Xing took Xu Huang and others to leave the camp in Houtun, because there were still military affairs, and it was estimated that the time agreed with others would be more, Yan Xing and the others accelerated their pace and returned to their military tent.

Sure enough, Gan Ling, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, Zhou Liang and others had already rushed to wait outside their tents, and after Yan Xing had a few brief conversations with them outside the tent, he asked everyone to enter the tent together.

"Liu Yingchun tries the horse, and the tiger general talks about the army at night." Many generals like to give lectures at night, on the one hand, because they act secretly during wartime, and on the other hand, because after dark, there is nothing to do in the army, and they have free time to discuss military affairs with military officials.

Yan Xing had also summoned his henchmen in the army to his tent at night many times before to discuss the military situation and discuss the art of war. Therefore, Gan Ling, Ma Lin, Yan Xing and others all arrived on time, just waiting for Yan Xing, Xu Huang and others, although Xu Huang is now only the rate of the Houtun team, but everyone also knows that Yan Xing intends to promote him to be the general of the Houtun Tun, so Xu Huang also entered the tent, ranked last, and jointly participated in the military.

If it is according to common sense, a military candidate like Yan Xing, most of the time only needs to obey the orders of the military Sima, the captain and others, and there are not so many things in the army that can be discussed by the military, but Yan Xing is different, not only pays attention to the management of the army, but also pays attention to the management of the generals, so the military meeting has been held many times, in the face of this unusualness, not only the newcomer Xu Huang is a little surprised, but even Zhou Liang, who has participated many times, is also surprised by Yan Xing's military management methods that are completely different from other generals at the same level in the army.

First, the military officials reported to Yan Xing in turn on the training of the soldiers in their subordinates, the repair of ordnance, and the tasks of building camps and digging ravines that each person was responsible for, and then Yan Xing made a summary of what he saw and heard on his own patrol, in which there were praises and criticisms, and everyone was attentive, and then took out a pen and paper to record the things mentioned.

Finally managed to get through to the end of the formal military discussion, and Ma Lin, who was biting the barrel of his pen and frowning, wrote a few words on his paper crookedly, as well as some marks that only he could understand. After sketching the last stroke with difficulty with the brush, Ma Lin, who had been holding back for a long time, was finally able to exhale a long breath of air, threw the brush to the side of the desk, looked at Yan Xing and asked quickly:

"Waiting, the battalion sergeant first attacked the enemy this time, broke through the Baibo Valley, and then followed the army to pursue the Baibo thief, and won countless losses, now the defeated Kou has escaped, and the siege of Linfen City has also been lifted, so what Niu Zhonglang General should also report our merits, and the rewards of the soldiers should also come down!"

Most of the foreign soldiers who came to Hedong to fight this time were transferred from abroad, and the county soldiers gathered in the counties of Hedong had previously followed Niu Fu to attack Baibo Valley and failed, suffering heavy casualties, and were no longer able to fight again.

Therefore, now that foreign soldiers occupy the main body of the army, the soldiers naturally do not have much love to protect Sangzi, and they do not have the noble consciousness of working hard for the people of Hedong.

After defeating the Baibo army and relieving the siege of Linfen City, the three lieutenants led the troops to pursue for a while and returned one after another, while the strange soldiers led by Xu Kun, Yan Xing and others also returned to Linfen City in the surprise attack to break through the Baibo Valley. Therefore, in the military camp outside Linfen City, it is now a place where foreign soldiers gather, and the soldiers fought a bloody battle and won a big victory.

Gan Ling knew the situation in Linfen City now, and looked at Ma Lin and smiled playfully:

"Black charcoal, don't think about asking for merit and reward, this Niu Zhonglang will suffer a defeat before, sit in a lonely city, and the soldiers will be cut off, and he has to rely on me to wait for these horse pawns to relieve him from the siege, and now the military grain and grass in Anyi and other places in the rear have not been delivered, and the winter clothes of the soldiers have not yet been settled, and the wine and meat that can be rewarded are already all owned by the government treasury in the city, where are there other rewards?"

Hearing Gan Ling's words, Ma Lin said goodbye and said with some complaints:

"Then we waited for the light cavalry to attack the thief's lair, and then broke the white wave with the army, and made many military exploits, wouldn't it be in vain to waste our efforts, it is better for me to indulge in happiness when I wait in Sanfu!"

"Huh!"

Ma Lin inadvertently talked about the past when everyone fell into the grass and plundered in Sanfu, and Yan Xing on the side hurriedly coughed and interrupted Ma Lin's words to prevent him from saying other nonsense.

Ma Lin was interrupted, a little bored, so he simply didn't speak, and Gan Ling spoke again at this time, looked at Yan Xing and said:

"Waiting, now the army is gathered under the city of Linfen, winning consecutive battles, and the Baibo thieves and the Huns are all defeated and fled to the north, but I don't know what Niu Zhonglang, Captain Li and others in the army are planning?"

Yan Xing, who was sitting at the top, heard Ganling's words, looked up at him, smiled, did not answer immediately, but continued to be busy with the movements in his hands, he was splicing a few maps on the desk, and he had already taken back the previous sheepskin maps from Xu Kun, and personally made another paper version with pen and ink, which was also divided into several pieces, covering Longyou, Sanfu, Henan, Hedong and other places, all of which were places where he had been away from home for the past two years.

After a short period of splicing, a pair of irregular overall maps were formed, although from the perspective of the accurate proportions of the future generations, this rough map is really out of the eye, but it is better than the places where Yan Xing personally set foot, and the geographical mountains and rivers on the map are marked in more detail, which can make people see the current situation at a glance.

Yan Xing carefully compared it on the map again, and after confirming that the map of Hedong was still missing a corner of the northern border, he raised his head again and waved his hand to Xu Huang to come up, Xu Huang is a native of Yang County, Yang County is in the northeast border of Hedong, just by him to make up for the lack of this map in Yan Xing's hand, he had asked Xu Huang to draw a map of the northeast border of Hedong according to the approximate scale.

After Xu Huang came up, the two worked together and quickly completed the map of Hedong. At this time, Yan Xingcai finally spoke up, and asked everyone in the tent to come to the side of the case, and he pointed to a few dots marked on the map of the northeast border of Hebei and said:

"You see, now that we have relieved the siege of Linfen City, and the cavalry of the Baibo thieves and the Huns have also been defeated to the north, the counties of Xiangling, Pingyang, Yangxian, and Yongan in the north are still under the control of the Baibo army.

Although Ma Lin was still complaining about the overtime of the rewards in the army, at this time, looking at the two sides facing each other in the north and south on the map, as if he was in the battle formation of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, he was still excited, pointed to a dot in the north and said:

"Soldiers, then when will I pull out the camp in the north and subdue these county towns!"

This question was also of concern to everyone, so everyone's eyes shifted from the map to Yan Xing, waiting for him to speak.

Yan Xing pondered for a moment and said:

"I got the news from Xu Sima in the morning, within three days, I am afraid that the army will be launched!"

All the soldiers and horses gathered in Linfen, and Niu Fu, who had already sensed the victory of heaven's will from the mouth of the witch, also immediately held a military meeting, announcing to the captains and Sima that within three days, the soldiers and horses would be rectified and go north to recover Pingyang, Yong'an and other places.

Although the specific date has not yet been determined to inform the whole army, Yan Xing has a good relationship with Xu Kun, and he has learned from him in advance that Niu Fu and the captains and Sima have some plans in the military discussion, and they are all his henchmen and subordinates in front of him, so Yan Xing also gave a general idea of what he knew.

After hearing the news that they were going to march north soon, everyone had their own thoughts, except for Ma Lin and a hint of joy, the others frowned. Yan Xing looked at Xu Huang on the side of the case, and asked:

"Gongming, you are from Hedong and are familiar with the geography of the northern counties, can you tell me about this march?"

Xu Huang looked at the dots on the map and thought for a while before he said solemnly:

"The White Wave Thieves have been defeated repeatedly, most of the heavy grain and grass have been lost, and their morale has been depressed, it is indeed a good time to march, but I heard that our army's military supplies are also insufficient, and the grain and grass transported from Anyi have not yet been transported.

Xu Kun said this, without directly saying the concerns in his heart, and when he was thinking about the words, Gan Ling had already picked up the conversation with a smile and said:

"Gongming doesn't need to worry, but let's put it bluntly, I'm waiting for these martial arts rough people, that is, to say some shallow opinions about the situation in front of me, I don't think Mr. Zhou will mind!"

As he spoke, Gan Ling's eyes met the eyes of Zhou Liang, who was thoughtful, Zhou Liang hurriedly avoided Gan Ling's eyes, smiled awkwardly, and said:

"Uncle Sheng, don't laugh, if you don't practice military affairs, you still have to listen to the opinions of the kings!"

After Zhou Liang finished speaking, he remembered Li Ru's previous advice to himself, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, in the past, Master Li was known for knowing people, but when facing this Yan Junhou, he still underestimated him after all, not only was he himself a good talent in the army, but the rapid growth rate of these military officials under him also made him secretly smack his tongue, especially Xu Huang in this new army, who was both civil and military, and talked extraordinary, I really can't understand how this Yan Junhou discovered this talent.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liang secretly aimed his eyes at Yan Xing, only to see his words and deeds of listening carefully and encouraging everyone to speak freely, and more and more felt that this person acted secretly and reasonably, but it was different from other generals, it seemed sparse and ordinary but it was incomprehensible, and the plan in his chest was very big, but it was hidden deep on weekdays, so it was difficult to find traces of the plot.

Zhou Liang now has one foot on Yan Xing's boat, as he has stepped on this boat for a long time, he has unconsciously integrated into this small group, and only occasionally realizes the purpose of his original here, so he is a little shaky in his heart, on the one hand, he is happy with his situation with the rising tide, on the other hand, he is also amazed at the speed at which this small group has grown secretly.

Yan Xing noticed that Zhou Liang was a little distracted, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak, and continued to listen to Xu Huang's views on the battle situation behind.
