(Second update.) ）

Since the development of the Hundred Battles Army, Lai Li Congjing has spared no expense in cultivating generals in the army and improving the quality of generals at all levels, and has achieved great results. At the beginning of the establishment of the Qimen army, Li Congjing paid out of his own pocket to invite a gentleman to the military camp to teach the team to be above the generals to read and write, so that they could be "literate and reasonable", so as to carry out cultural enlightenment.

Reading and literacy is an excellent way to enlighten wisdom and cultivate thinking, aside from those who are geniuses or people with great luck, ordinary people want to become talents, and it is inevitable to improve their own cultural quality. In troubled times, morality is degenerate, people's hearts are not ancient, etiquette is broken, people often act without scruples, do as they please, Li Congjing let the generals of the Hundred Battles Army read the Confucian classics, not only have the idea of correcting their hearts, being cautious in their actions, and improving their loyalty, but also have the intention of tapping their wisdom and making them better understand the way of using soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that the Hundred Battles Army has expanded rapidly since its establishment, but it has strict military discipline, upright military style, and has never committed any acts of rebellion. When capturing Pingzhou, although the army paid a lot of price, all the generals hated the people of Pingzhou for not helping Wang Shi, but Li Congjing had three strategies to appease the people, and none of them disobeyed the military order. The reason for this is that of course Li Congjing's prestige is incomparable, but there is also a reason why the Hundred Battles Army has always had a neutral style.

If this were not the case, how could Li Congjing be able to make the people of Pingzhou return to their hearts, and how could he be famous and shocking Youyun, so that Huang Zong and others were willing to vote, and even rumored to be "the blessing of Youyun"?

Not only that, the quality of the soldiers has improved, their horizons have been broadened, and their understanding of righteousness has also enabled them to better understand the way of employing soldiers. Both the MI and the scouts are high-tech troops. When the Hundred Battles Army fought with Wang Yanzhang on the river, Meng Ping went out to trap the capital and rampage, and finally broke through the enemy formation; After Li Congjing entered the grassland, Guo Wei took Lin Ying and Lin Xiong to lead the gentlemen to the grassland, and even won battles, which is not what ordinary generals can do. The reason why the Hundred Battles Army can always win and be undefeated is not only because Li Congjing can fight well, but also because the generals at all levels in the army can fight well!

Li Rongnai was the first veteran to follow Li Congjing, and he was born as a scout, and he was very active in his own mind, very perceptive, able to see and know, and good at excellence.

Because of this, it is not a miracle that Li Rong said those words and was able to come up with a "clever plan" to break the enemy.

At that moment, Li Rong told Huang Zong and the three of them what he thought in detail. After listening carefully, Huang Zong and the others thought that they could give it a try, and even Xu Boxian had no objections.

Huang Zongdao: "General Li's plan is very clever, if it can be implemented smoothly, it will not be difficult to break the Khitan." It's just that it's not easy for us to find out the Khitan grain and grass without knowing it and attack it. I have heard that the bread is the lifeblood of the army. The Khitan barbarian thieves must have attached great importance to grain and grass, and their precautions must be extremely strict! ”

Speaking of Li Rong's strategy is very simple, as Huang Zong said, it is four words: attack the enemy's grain road!

"It's not hard to come up with this plan, it's hard to succeed." Li Rong nodded, suddenly smiled, and said to everyone: "If this matter is changed to someone else, maybe it can't be done, but you have been in the mountains and forests for a long time, and you are already good at strange roads, and you can not be able to meet the army head-on, but if you want to say that in the wilderness, find out the Khitan grain route and attack it, your ability is far above the ordinary army." Moreover, before Yingzhou was besieged, the military commander had ordered the fifth girl to arrange a large number of military intelligence officers outside, and with the help of the military intelligence department, we were able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Fifth...... Girl? ”

"MIU?"

"Who's that?"

A girl, an existence that had never been heard of, made the three of Huang Zong puzzled.

Li Rong showed a mysterious look, "In the future, you will slowly know." ”

Next, Li Rong took Huang Zong and others, as well as eight hundred strong men, and continued to move north. Because they were getting closer and closer to Yingzhou City, everyone's whereabouts were becoming more and more hidden, and in the end they were close to day and night.

On this day, a large group of men and horses were walking in the middle of the mountain road, and when they turned a corner, they suddenly saw a tall horse standing high in the middle of the road, impartial, and just in the middle of the road. The horse was very good, and when he saw the crowd appear, he did not run or jump, and snorted with his low neck, as if he were greeting them.

On the stone ridge beside the road, there was a man sitting in an unruly position, gobbling up a large piece of bread in his hand. When he appeared in everyone's field of vision, he just hiccuped, and at the same time as the horse's nose sounded, the two voices sounded together, and it seemed a little joyful.

Huang Zong and the others were surprised when they met strangers on the road. You know, when they are in a hurry, they pay special attention to concealing their whereabouts, why would they suddenly run into outsiders? And looking at the other party's demeanor, it is obvious that they are waiting for them here!

Before Huang Zong and the others could react, the man had already opened his throat and scolded the horse on the road: "You shut up Lao Tzu!" Fuck, how about teasing your second master? If the second master doesn't make a sound, you won't make a sound, the second master burps, you still fart and sing peace with Lao Tzu, you are a horse, not a person, you have to remember your own identity! ”

The steed whimpered, as if he understood the man's words, and as if in protest, trotted two steps out of his hooves until he was no longer in the middle of the road. It ran to the side of the road, urinated on a wildflower, and grinned like a human, grinning and looking up.

This scene made Huang Zong and the others cry and laugh, but the man showed a look of satisfaction—he didn't know what he was satisfied with.

After reprimanding the horse, the man who ate the cake seemed to feel that he was not satisfied, stood up on the stone ridge, took the remaining half of the cake, pointed at Li Rong and others, and said loudly: "You are walking too slowly, according to your speed, when you reach Yingzhou City, the war is over, so what else is there to do?" Let me tell you, the second master is very dissatisfied! With that, he tore off a piece of bread with his teeth, rolled it into his mouth, and chewed it in large gulps.

Huang Zong and the others didn't know why, and looked at the man who ate the cake in a daze. Xu Bo first asked Huang Zong, "Old Huang, is this person mentally abnormal, or are we sick?" ”

Huang Zong glanced at him, too lazy to speak.

Li Rong stepped forward with a smile and hugged his fist at the man who ate the cake, "Commander Zhao, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!" ”

"How can it be unharmed? The second master is very sick! Zhao Xiangyao jumped off the stone barrier, walked in front of Li Rong, looked at Huang Zong, Xu Boxian, and Lu Junyan, and pouted, "Brother Li, the people you brought back this time are not good, it's far from the second master!" ”

Lu Junyan and the others' faces darkened, Li Rong knew Zhao Xiangyao's temperament, and he didn't want him to talk much with Huang Zong and the others, so he went straight to the point, "Commander Zhao has been around for a long time, what has he gained?" ”

"Of course! When did the second master go out? Zhao Xiangyao just didn't pat his chest, "After many days of detectives, the location of the Khitan grain road has been locked on three routes by the second master and me, just wait for you to bring people here, you can completely find out the specific location of the Khitan grain road!" As he spoke, he waved his hand.

A man in a green robe, at some point, appeared on the stone ridge where Zhao Xiangyao was sitting before, jumped down at this time, took out a roll of brocade silk, and handed it to Zhao Xiangyao.

Zhao Xiangyao opened the brocade silk and displayed it in front of everyone, which immediately surprised everyone.

This is a simple map.

There are three red lines on the map.

……

After a while, Zhao Xiangyao put away the map, spoke leisurely, and said to Li Rong: "Wu Changjian's guy went to Bohai Country with the big boss, and the fifth little girl stayed by the side of the military marshal, and now the main thing outside Yingzhou City is you and me." Before leaving, the military commander had already explained to me that the follow-up matter would be followed, but it was arranged by Brother Li. However, now there are three roads, but you and I are only two people, how to divide the labor, in the shortest possible time to explore the reality of these three routes, but it is necessary to think carefully! ”

Li Rong remained silent and asked rhetorically, "According to Commander Zhao's meaning?" ”

Zhao Xiangyao and Li Rong are both one of the three commanders of the Military Intelligence Department, and now the Military Intelligence Department is in charge of Tao Yaoyao to escort Mo Li to the Bohai Kingdom. However, as the commanders of the Military Intelligence Department, Li Rong and Zhao Xiangyao both know that the fifth is still young, although he has been Tao Yao's deputy for a long time, and can handle the daily affairs of the Military Intelligence Department, but he cannot dispatch and command the entire Military Intelligence Department. This is also the reason why the fifth has been by Li Congjing's side recently.

Except for the fifth girl and Wu Changjian, who followed Tao Yaoyao, Zhao Xiangyao and Li Rong now have the highest status in the Military Intelligence Department. Li Rong is old and has outstanding ability, as early as when the Military Intelligence Department was created, he was one of the three commanders, and Zhao Xiangyao could not compare with him, which is why Li Congjing asked Zhao Xiangyao to obey his orders.

But Li Rong knew that with the well-known ambiguous relationship between Li Congjing and Tao Yaoyao, coupled with the relationship between Zhao Xiangyao and Tao Yaoyao, he couldn't treat Zhao Xiangyao as an ordinary queen, so at this time he was not arbitrary, but asked Zhao Xiangyao what he meant.

Since Li Rong asked, Zhao Xiangyao took the lead and said, "In my opinion, Brother Li and I will each lead a group of men and horses to explore a road, as for the third ......" He looked at Huang Zong, "Why don't you ask Brother Huang to take it?" ”

In terms of size, the Hundred Battles Army is strong, the "Righteous Army" is weak, and from the perspective of relations, the Hundred Battles Army is the master, the "Righteous Army" is the guest, and the "Righteous Army" comes to help the war, so it can only rely on the Hundred Battles Army to act. Zhao Xiangyao's proposal to let Huang Zong lead the way alone is undoubtedly a "reuse" and trust in him.

Huang Zong was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists with joy, "The general has an order, don't dare to disobey, for fear that he will not be competent!" ”

Li Rong knew Zhao Xiangyao and knew that although he acted uninhibitedly on weekdays, just like Fang Cai, he said that Huang Zong and others were not as good as him back then, but in front of business, he was also serious and upright and did not lose anyone. After listening to Zhao Xiangyao's suggestion, Li Rong smiled and praised kindness.

……

In the west, less than a thousand miles away from Yingzhou City, an ironclad elite cavalry was marching rapidly on the vast grassland. This army was numerous, at least twenty or thirty thousand, and what was particularly terrifying was that it was full of cavalry, each with two horses.

At this time, the sky is nearly dusk, and the sunset is like a golden plate, kissing the horizon in a distant place, and the sky is half red and half black, like smoke and fog.

At the front of the army, a Khitan general ran to a young man and said to him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's getting late, is the army camped?" ”

In any country, there is only one person who can be called a prince, and the Khitan is the same. The young but immature prince looked to the east, non-stop, and said indifferently: "The war in Yingzhou is tight, the marshal of Yelu's enemy assassination has not been able to attack for a long time, and my father is already angry, I will work day and night, and strive to arrive in Yingzhou as soon as possible!" ”
