I suddenly sneezed heavily, as if someone was talking about me, I don't know if it was a mysterious creature, or squatting with my head in my hands, or Ah Lu, I turned a few smiling faces in front of me.

"In the battle of Yongqiao, Shuai Si invested six battalions of the infantry army, about 8,000 people, one battalion of the horse army, and about Wu Baicai,"

"There are also two regiments of the Shenji Army, with the fire nest car and the hand cannon team belonging to the left and right flanks to protect the ......"

While listening to the fifth flat to give me the summary of military and ground intelligence, from which I analyzed and judged the movements of the Shuai Si and the growth of the situation, I continued to use small dried fish in my hands, teasing him lying on his knees, as a new toy kitten "Schrödinger", as a rare pastime in battlefield leisure,

Although the fur of this little thing has not yet grown new, it is still pitted, and its whole body is only a little bigger than a palm, but it is already quite energetic and energetic, and it seems that the bumps hanging on the horse's back have not affected its feelings and interest in playing in the slightest.

"Then more than 10,000 soldiers from the north were broken...... More than half of them were killed, and the rest were scattered and could not be chased......"

I glanced at the serious face of the fifth flat board, and suddenly remembered all the things I had done in Luodu in the past. It's hard to imagine that when we escaped from Luodu together a few years ago, our faces were full of grief and grief, and we vowed to pay back those who died. Now that I was getting closer, the promise I had made to them, he was calm.

After sweeping the whole territory of Haju, we stationed in Yongseong County and Mapo City seem to have been left out and forgotten again.

Next, it is to protect the grain and patrol the road, to build fortifications and set up cards, or to clear the place, or to guard the grain, or to chase down the remnants of the northern army entrenched in the mountains and forests, and so on, which can only be used by temporarily dispersed troops, relatively trivial and complicated peripheral tasks.

It made me suddenly have some illusions, as if I had returned to Tiannan Prefecture under the banner of the aftermath of the Aftermath Division, and the short years of messing around.

Compared with

First of all, Yang Gongfu, the commander of the Chengde Army, seized the entire territory of Yingzhou, captured Liu Wei in Yingzhou Town, Huaibei Transit Envoy Zhu Shouyan, and Shi Shan, the judge of Duzhi;

Kong Wei, the commander of the Taining Army, crossed the sea and followed Haizhou, taking important places such as Xingang, Yuzhou, and Donghai County (near Lianyungang, Jiangsu today), and since then the sea defense line of Qingxu Town has been greatly opened;

The cruising division of Li Congli, the sixth general of the right wing of the new army, infiltrated Sizhou and killed Liu Rang, the defender of Sicheng Town, and forced the defenders of Xucheng, Hongxian, and Linhuai to surrender;

Han Jian, the general of the right Xiaowei Zhonglang, broke the Xuzhou army at the Warrior Bridge Pass, beheaded Zhang Chan, the soldiers and horses of the Xingwu army of the Northern Dynasty, and Lu Hong, the Suzhou crusade, and captured 6,000 people;

Under this situation, Xu Geng, the deputy envoy of Lianshui defense to which Qingxu Town belonged, and Wei Zhaodu, the commander of the Jing Navy, led the troops to rebel against the water under the secret persuasion of Tang Youtong, the general of Huainan in the former township, and killed Luo Xian, the anti-assassination history and Huaidong observation envoy, and led the southern troops to cross the Huai, and the last stronghold of the Huaihe defense line was declared to have fallen.

In this succession one after another, the large encirclement network for Qingxu Town was slowly tightened in the encroachment and infiltration from the periphery to the inner line.

According to my simple staff team's analysis of the Tangbao on the Southeast Road, apart from our troops who are on guard and fighting soy sauce on the periphery, and those small armed forces that maintain the rear control area of Jianghuai, the Frontier Military Department has gathered at least 11 armies and towns and more than 20 troops along the Xuzhou-Huaibei line.

For this reason, the people and materials gathered from the sea and land and settled in Hao, Chu, Shou and other prefectures are piled up like a mountain, in order to completely determine the final ownership of Huaibei Province and open a large smooth road into the Henan Plain.

Huaibei Road, which was demarcated in the Qianyuan period, included some areas of Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces in the later generations, with mountains and hills on the terrain undulating vertically and horizontally, and a dense network of lakes and lakes, which was also a natural barrier between the north and the south.

Therefore, although it seems that the roads are vertical and horizontal, there are only a few routes that are really suitable for large-scale military operations, and the Qingxu area, which takes the traditional North-South Grand Canal as the backbone and hub, is undoubtedly the best smooth road and way to enter the Central Plains from the perspective of geographical trends.

Therefore, the land of Qingxu is also the focus of the successive dynasties, the north and the south repeatedly compete for the focus of the offensive and defensive victory and the place of the four battles, so the direct capture of Xuzhou is also a dignified march, without speculative tricks and evasive means.

It's just that this big battlefield is in full swing, and we don't have our share for the time being.

According to the only instruction given to us by the Frontier Military Division, it is necessary to maneuver outside the theater of operations, stand by to intercept the reinforcements of other towns coming from the east (south) of the mountain (south) and the partial division of the Northern Dynasties, and if we encounter a brigade that is difficult to defeat the enemy, we must contain and delay it so as not to affect the layout and variables of the frontal battlefield.

It seems that the unemployment network is worried that we will once again go alone and pursue and cross the border without authorization, and even the scope of mobile defense and the pursuit of the enemy has been stipulated, and only Chenzhou on the western front and Songzhou on the north are allowed to move.

Although it is a little disheartening and boring, it is good to use the correct editor. The three sequences of auxiliary troops and scattered soldiers are combined and divided into several cadres to act in turns, and in various training and intensity battles, more tacit understanding is honed.

Adjutant General Xin Jiaxuan, General Yu Hou Zhao Long, Counselor Lu Wuguan and others were also sent out by me one by one as supervisors to act with these temporary mixed troops.

And I stayed in the station, I am not casually angry, willing to be ordinary and lonely, since it is difficult to make achievements on the frontal battlefield in the short term, then I simply don't find a way out of the way, just as the so-called east is not bright in the west, where is Zheng Zhou's military merchant group, but sent me some good news.

Then I specially calmed down, and while training the troops, I instructed and influenced the caravans stationed in the rear through guò, and started a business with those friendly troops on the second and third lines, and even the several chief officers of our department, and the corresponding personal connections, were also fully utilized.

Regarding this point, in addition to the superior background of Lu Wuguan, who had reservations on the suspicion of not doing his job, others, including Xin Jiaxuan and Zhao Long, calmly accepted the results of contributing from it and benefiting from it.

One of the most unexpected is that Zhao Long, who will wait for him, suddenly came to me in private, and said some heartfelt words to comfort me:

It's actually a good thing to say that's actually a good thing, there's no need to mind too much. As the head of an army, he neither seeks benefits in private, nor accumulates wealth in his own pockets, and all the benefits are scattered with his subordinates, which is enough to become an example for the people and military families for a while in the period of the founding of the country, but it is inevitably a little out of place in the Chengping Zhishi where the pattern has been established.

Even among the hundreds of generals in the Great Liang, my type can be said to be too abnormal and outlierable, at least I have a background in the feudal family, and I have enough confidence and capital to build a reputation at any cost, but the result of cherishing feathers too much is easy to lose among my bosses and colleagues.

In history, only those special people with backgrounds and extremely tough backgrounds can not care about these noises and discussions, and break out of the world on their own, and for me, it is a bit of a rigid reason.

I was a little moved by my unwillingness to let them violate the limits and conscience of the warriors, and cause my subordinates to be stained with bad habits and innocent blood, even if I got my hands dirty in private.

And he was not able to understand these flexible truths for a long time, and his mind has been on the army, which is a little bumpy in the military service, wasted support and love, and now he has been under my command, and he also cherishes this opportunity and prospect, and naturally hopes to follow me further.

In this regard, although it is full of the guilt that you will actually take the wrong script, I can only make an humble gesture to thank him for his care and trust.

In contrast, Cui Bangbi, the commander of the third battalion, showed more enthusiasm for active participation and took the initiative to ask for the next duty of external liaison.

Moreover, when I proposed that part of these proceeds would be used to establish a field relief fund, which would be used to provide some corresponding standard of resettlement and bereavement benefits for those wounded and dead soldiers and their related persons, and that Xin Jiaxuan would be responsible for maintaining the operation on a daily basis, and Zhao Long would be responsible for supervising its use, even if it was a more self-cherishing view of land affairs, there was no reason to continue to oppose it on the surface.

In this way, my internal network of personal relationships, which is maintained by ties of interest, has begun to take shape.

Due to the confidence of the Yizhou-Borneo joint ship group, we also handle a wide range of goods, from controlled baggage and ordnance, to daily grain, straw and forage, and even the local population, which can be used as the object of trade.

The Southern Dynasties have always been lenient in supplying troops, coupled with the smooth southeast sea route, just in the season of the tide, it is in the name of reporting losses from all walks of life, secretly reselling the army to a large number of people, and then on the grounds of making up for the use, go to the local area to loot, and you can also take an extra share of money into your private pocket.

It is true that the soldiers in front of the front fought bravely for the sake of merit and reward, and most of the generals who led them took the opportunity to get their hands on it and made a lot of money by opening up their financial resources in various ways, as for the feelings of the people in those places, basically no one would consider it, and it was the matter of those local officials appointed by the dynasty in the future.

Their first consideration is to feed their subordinates, fill their own private pockets by the way, and then follow the east wind of the Northern Expedition, and plan some foundation for their future plans, which is right.

Therefore, although I don't have to be as ugly and unscrupulous as them, I am still happy to do business with these front-line troops just by relying on the baggage teams and military merchant groups brought by indirect remote control.

As my personal representatives, the former human trafficker Zheng Zhou and them even took the opportunity to take the hot iron to get in touch with Cheng Xuan, the commander of the rear army on the southeast road in Runzhou, and directly smashed this important member of the rear grain station into some kind of disguised protective umbrella with at least one-third of the private interests.

Therefore, my family's military merchant came into contact with those friendly and neighboring officers and soldiers in the capacity of the special committee of the ambassador of the rear grain station and the local military procurer.

It can also be regarded as a disguised compensation for battlefield frustration and shopping mall gains.

"Upholding the ......"

Suddenly, the voice of Mu Long, the officer on duty, sounded outside the tent

"The Sixth General Xiongwu came to ask for a meeting with ......"

I was surprised that Liu Yanqing, the fourth general of the rear front of the New Army, had sent someone over

"Liu Xiongwu has been getting better recently......"

I met with the people who came from the Provisional Army

"When did you get to the frontier......?"

"Words of the Guerrilla Return"

Come and say humbly

"The Lord should be well, arrived in Huaishang six days ago, and now he has fought a few battles and is resting at Qiao'an......"

"This time, I came here, but the headquarters met an old man who claimed to be a guerrilla in the local area......"

"Don't dare to make an arbitrary decision, so he ordered me to wait until I was sent to the army to recognize ......"

"The Old Man ......"

I stood up in some surprise, and my mind was flipping to see who it would be.

Then I saw the old man who was sitting in the carriage and was a little depressed, and I suddenly felt a little agitated

"Immortal ......"
