"See the Captain!"

After Zhai Hao entered the tent, when he saw Yan Xing above, he hurriedly bowed down, and saluted angrily.

"Zhai Sima is exempt!"

Yan Xing's eyes were soft, and he looked at Zhai Hao, who was straightening up. Zhai Hao's appearance is a typical Xiliang soldier appearance, with a leopard's head and swallow jaw, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a big beard, thick arms, looped legs, and a suit of armor, which looks very majestic and rough.

After receiving a military report that a group of soldiers and horses were coming to Jiangyi, Yan Xing quickly arranged to leave twenty armor soldiers to guard the county temple, and he took the rest of the horses to the west gate of Jiangyi.

In addition to sending people to the county temple, Yan Xing also sent people to Xu Huang at the north gate of Jiangyi and Cao Yuan at the west gate to report.

When Xu and Cao learned that some soldiers and horses were approaching Jiangyi, they reacted quickly, mobilized soldiers and horses, and strengthened the city wall guards.

Yan Xing saw that Cao Yuan on the city wall was in command, and the soldiers above and below the city were well arranged, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.

Although the five schools of the Northern Army of the Han Empire, as well as the elite of the empire such as the Liyang Battalion, the Duliao Battalion, and the Huya Battalion, have all turned into decay, among these former elite generals, there are not one or two remaining extinguishing seeds.

And Cao Yuan is calm and generous, adept at military affairs, and is a great general, and over time, he will be able to shine and take charge of one side.

After Yan Xing took his men and horses to meet with Cao Yuan, Yan Xing of the barracks outside the city once again sent soldiers into the city to report, the soldiers and horses who came to Jiangyi had already raised the banner, and it was one of the Xiliang soldiers in the original three battalions of Jiangyi, Yan Xing had already asked the scouts to contact them, and at the same time sent people into the city again to report to Yan Xing.

This is not much different from the result that Yan Xing expected when he was in the county temple before. Yan Xing immediately went out of the city to the barracks outside the city, and sent someone to pass the order, so that after the Xiliang soldiers returned to their original camp, Sima who led the troops came to meet him in his barracks.

And this Xiliang army also gave the order and did not delay the military order at all. After Zhai Hao, who was the leader, settled nearly 1,000 Xiliang cavalry in the original camp, he only brought a piece of personal soldiers to Yan Xing's big tent to meet Yan Xing.

This is also the scene of the meeting in the tent just now.

In the big tent, when Yan Xing was looking at Zhai Hao, Zhai Hao, who was straightening up, also took the opportunity to take a look at Yan Xing's big tent, only to see that Yan Xing's big tent was a little different from other Xiliang generals, and in the big tents of other Xiliang soldiers, there were all martial arts officers covered in their bodies, and in Yan Xing's account, in addition to the martial artists, there were also civil servants.

This fell into Zhai Hao's eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, but he was not interested in the scribes, and after glancing at Xi Zhicai and Zhou Liang on the left, he only felt that this white-faced and yellow-faced scribe was not very surprising, so he turned his eyes to the martial arts officer on the right.

Because when Yan Xing went out of the city, he asked Meng Tu to lead a hundred cavalry to stay in the city, and together with Xu Huang and Cao Yuan, he was vigilant against the big surname Haoqiang in the city. So what Zhai Hao saw, on the right were sitting three military officials, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, and Wei Xuan.

Ma Lin had a dark complexion and a stout body, not inferior to Zhai Hao, while Yan Xing had a fierce look on his face and an awe-inspiring gaze. Wei Xuan has thick eyes and arms, and at a glance, he knows that he is a good shooter.

Zhai Hao quickly glanced at it, and after noticing everyone's characteristics, he quickly retracted his eyes. Yan Xing, who was sitting at the top, saw his actions in his eyes, and didn't mind his rather bold behavior when he first arrived, so he smiled and asked him about the battle ahead.

The first battalion of Xiliang soldiers led by Zhai Hao guarded the defense line of Jiuji Mountain, while the other two battalions of Hedong soldiers guarded the Fenshui line.

This kind of arrangement falls in the eyes of a discerning person, and at a glance it is clear that it is a military misarrangement. Zhai Hao led all the Xiliang cavalry, and used them to defend along the Linfen coast, and only needed to garrison one place and send scouts to be able to control the enemy's situation, and prepare to attack the white wave thieves crossing the river anytime and anywhere.

This is much better than sending two battalions of Hedong county soldiers, who are mostly foot soldiers, to deploy defenses everywhere along the Linfen coast. And to defend the dangerous pass of Jiuji Mountain, it is more appropriate to use a group of foot soldiers than to use Xiliang cavalry.

However, the garrison soldiers and horses in Jiangyi turned around instead, letting the cavalry guard the mountain road and the foot soldiers to guard the riverbank and flat.

When Yan Xing arrived in Jiangyi, he also saw that the soldiers and horses were inappropriately arranged. However, at that time, he was focused on dealing with the lawless officials of the remnants of the county temple, and after he sent messengers, the soldiers and horses along the Fenshui and Jiuji Mountain were not unexpected, and they all reported that they were being strictly armed, and it was not appropriate to withdraw, and the soldiers only had to hold on to the enemy, and there was no problem in holding the defensive line.

Yan Xing temporarily put aside the military affairs in these two places.

But right now, the county temple in Jiangyi has been controlled by Yan Xing, and it is time to shift his attention to the military situation ahead, so when Yan Xing met Zhai Hao, the first thing he asked was the defense of Jiuji Mountain.

And when Zhai Hao talked about the military affairs, he was also immediately interested, and immediately reported to Yan Xing a series of things about his repulsion of the feint White Wave Thief.

According to what Zhai Hao said, there are more than 10,000 white wave thieves in Xiangling City, and they have attacked several times before, but they have all been repelled by him. This time, the white wave thieves in Xiangling, although they made a big fanfare and prepared to bypass Jiuji Mountain to attack Jiangyi, but Zhai Hao, who was defending according to the danger, found that these white wave thieves did not have many soldiers and horses after several brief confrontations with the white wave thieves, but they were feints, so he took advantage of the weak and careless attack of the white wave thieves two days ago, highlighted the surprise soldiers, defeated the white wave thieves who feint, and beheaded dozens of heads.

After seeing that their feints were discovered, the retreating White Wave Thieves also retreated overnight and returned to Xiangling.

So, Zhai Hao, who had won another battle, left two hundred soldiers and horses, and after staying in the dangerous passes of the mountain road, he led the troops back to Jiangyi.

After Zhai Hao finished talking about the battle in Jiuji Mountain, Yan Xing thought about it and asked:

"Zhai Sima, if it is as you say, the white wave thieves in Xiangling are feinting. As far as I know, the white wave thieves in Linfen have never crossed the river to attack. Then you see, where does the main force of the White Wave Thieves intend to attack? ”

Zhai Hao's answer was so quick that he almost blurted it out.

"The subordinates thought it was Pi's!"

Pishi, as an important big city in the west of Hedong County, is not only rich in iron ore and timber, but also only separated from Zuo Fengyi of Sanfu by a water, from there Longmen Jinkou, you can cross the river from east to west and enter the land of Sanfu.

The White Wave Army is limited by the terrain of mountains and rivers, and has always been in Taiyuan, Hedong and other places, because of the coercion of the people, the wandering Bandits everywhere, the required military food is also obtained by means of attacking the city and conquering the land, and now Taiyuan and Hedong counties have been harmed by the White Wave Army, and the White Wave Army still wants to use the original method to strengthen its strength in the old place, which is already impossible.

Therefore, Bai Bo Qu Shuai Guo Tai and others are anxious to find a new way out for themselves, and if they can defeat the Pi clan, they will occupy the Jinkou across the river, and the pattern of the Bai Bo army will be greatly expanded, not limited to Taiyuan and Hedong, and can be attacked and retreated, whether it is for the army to eat, or to transfer strategy, it is very beneficial.

It seems that this Zhai Hao, although he looks reckless, still has a bit of vision in military affairs.

Zhai Hao's thoughts were the same as Yan Xing's, but Yan Xing didn't continue to ask Pi Shi, but changed his words and asked instead:

"It seems that Zhai Sima is also a person who is familiar with military affairs, so the captain has a question in his heart, why do you want to garrison your cavalry in the dangerous place of Jiuji Mountain. It must be known that the Xiliang cavalry is conducive to the assault on the plains, and is shorter than the mountain defense, and you have repelled the Baibo thieves several times, not because the soldiers and horses are good at fighting, but because the Baibo thieves are feints and are unwilling to fight, so they are slightly frustrated, and they withdraw their troops and return. ”

"But in the long run, it is undoubtedly to put the lives of his sons and daughters on the dangerous ground, once the white wave thieves send their elites to attack the dangerous places of the mountain road, the cavalry under your command is not enough to break the enemy, and the retreat is trapped in a dangerous situation, the cavalry dismounts to resist the enemy, and there is no foreign aid on the mountain road, isn't it a self-defeating way?"

These words made Zhai Hao speechless, and he, who was originally talking eloquently about the military affairs in front of him, opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word.

After half a ring, the bearded soldier looked up to the sky and sighed, the armor leaf on his body trembled, and then bowed down to Yan Xing and pleaded, saying:

"Putting soldiers and horses in danger lightly is guilty of subordinates. However, his subordinates have always been at odds with the soldiers of Hedong County, and their generation is unwilling to defend the dangerous mountain roads, and their subordinates are unwilling to live with them, so they can only lead troops to garrison the front line of Jiuji Mountain. ”

The soldiers of Hedong County were reluctant to leave the line of defense along the Fenshui coast, and Yan Xing, who controlled the county temple, could also guess the reason.

That is because the Jiangyi County Temple connived at the smuggling of salt and iron under the rule of the Jiangyi County Temple, and traded with the white wave thieves for profit, the official road from Fenshui to Jiangyi cannot be lost, and must be in the hands of their own people, and Fan Sima and Fan Yong of the Hedong County soldiers happen to be the children of the surname Fan.

However, Zhai Hao and the soldiers of Hedong County were not in harmony, which Yan Xing had never expected, and looking at Zhai Hao's expression just now, it didn't look like a fake, combined with his previous words and deeds, it was indeed very possible that this battalion of Xiliang soldiers and horses and Hedong County soldiers had a gap with each other.

So, Yan Xing continued to ask.

When asked by Yan Xing why he had a grudge with his comrades in the army, Zhai Hao was a little helpless, but in the face of Yan Xing's inquiry, he expected that he could not hide that Yan Xing, who was also in the Xiliang army, and could only briefly explain his own situation.

It turned out that Zhai Hao was addicted to alcohol and committed many military laws when he was under Niu Fu, but because he fought bravely and saved Niu Fu once on the battlefield, and the military discipline of the Xiliang soldiers was not strict, so he was mostly punished and admonished. But the most serious time later was when he was drinking with Sima in other armies, he had a quarrel under the slight drunkenness, and Zhai Hao, who was confused, became angry for a while, drew his sword and injured the arm of another Sima.

gathered a crowd to drink, drunk and hurt people, and it was a Sima close to Niu Fu who was injured. These crimes were originally enough for Zhai Hao to lose his head, but fortunately, Bai Bo was raging, and the situation in Hedong was erosive, and it was the time to employ people, so he was allowed to make meritorious contributions with his crimes, leading the troops and horses of his headquarters, and was sent to Jiangyi by Niu Fu to defend against the attack of the White Wave thieves.

When Zhai Hao first came to Jiangyi, under the name of Niu Zhonglang's pro-faction, Fan Yong and others were quite thoughtful to him, and they feasted and drank for many days. But after the other two battalions of Hedong soldiers and horses were also transferred, the lie about Zhai Hao was dismantled.

Fan Yong and others treated Zhai Hao, a soldier who was assigned to the front line for meritorious service and had no background in the Xiliang Army, and suddenly looked down a little, and their original attitude also changed subtly.

Zhai Hao, who was neglected, was angry, and he also went to the Hedong County soldiers to find a gap to make trouble, but the two battalions of Hedong County soldiers had already joined forces with the Jiangyi County Temple to fight against Zhai Hao's group of Xiliang soldiers in the open and secret.

Zhai Hao, who was weak, couldn't fight them, and secretly suffered several secret losses from Fan Yong and others in the military money valley. Annoyed, Zhai Hao simply used the pretext of defending against the white wave thieves to lead the troops to move to the dangerous place of Jiuji Mountain, and only sent people back on time to ask for grain and grass, and usually cut off contact with the soldiers of Hedong County.

This time, I heard that a Xiliang military captain who led the troops came to Jiangyi, and Zhai Hao, who thought that he had come to help, was overjoyed, but he didn't have a greeting gift, so he had to stay in Jiuji Mountain to step up his actions, and finally made a big show of power and beheaded dozens of Baibo army leaders, so he hurried back, wanting to find Yan Xing to invite merit to be the master.
