It turned out that before Liang Zheng came to the barracks, Xiao Mo was discussing the matter of the pioneer generals of the Tiger Camp with Chong Ge, Cao Xiang, Yang Hong and Zhao Guanying.

Yang Hong and Cao Xiang are not from the Tiger Camp, the reason why they came to decide the candidates for this vanguard general temporarily was because this time Zhao Quan wanted to divide the troops into two ways, so Xiao Mo was afraid that the generals around him would not be enough at that time, so he decided to select one person from between Zhao Guanying and Chong Ge to lead the Tiger Camp.

Liang Zheng didn't know what Chong Ge was talking about, but Liang Zheng was not stupid, and he immediately guessed what the kid must be talking about, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Mo: "Master, what does Xiao Zhen mean?" ”

Xiao Mo told Liang Zheng about the situation.

Liang Zheng heard this and said excitedly: "Master! Since the establishment of this tiger battalion, it has been led by me and General Zhao, when will it be his turn to be the vanguard general? ”

After listening to Liang Zheng's words, Xiao Mo, who was already a little annoyed in his heart, didn't bother to think about it, so he said to the two of them: "That's it, this time when I go to Taiyuan, I will transfer some men and horses with you, and then you will lead 50,000 horses, whoever will make great contributions first in the future will be the main general of this tiger camp!" ”

Hearing that they could actually be the main generals, Chong Mo and Liang Zheng both had bright eyes, and they naturally did not allow it.

The road did not stop, and in early February, the army finally arrived in Taiyuan.

Zhao Quan's decree also followed Xiao Mo's army to Taiyuan, and then Xiao Mo read the holy decree in front of everyone. ”

Li Zhun thought that this was Xiao Mo's idea, this is also Zhao Quan's cleverness, his holy decree did not say whose plan it was, with Xiao Mo's current status in the An Dynasty, others must have thought that this was Xiao Mo's idea.

Hearing Li Zhun's words, Xiao Mo didn't say much, but said: "Lord Li, this Liaoguo Xijing and Nanjing are just not far from Taiyuan and Zhending Mansion, this time the troops are divided into two ways, which can also make our tactics more flexible and changeable!" Of course...... These are all later words, and it is not yet time to divide the troops, because the current situation in Liao is very chaotic, and it is ...... This heavy snow covers the mountains, and it is not suitable to march! ”

Li Zhun listened and said: "Although the earth is rejuvenated, but the snow has not melted, it is better to march a month late!" ”

Xiao Mo nodded, and then led the generals to Xinzhou to inspect the military camp with Li Zhun.

There had been no war for a long time, and Xiao Mo was afraid that the soldiers would be lazy, so he wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the situation of some soldiers.

As long as it is in terms of morale and combat effectiveness, if the morale and combat effectiveness are maintained very well, then there will be no hindrance.

Other than that...... Xiao Mo also had to go to the artillery camp to check it out, because after this batch of cannons passed through the cold winter, he didn't know if they could still be used.

In the cold winter season, of course, it is not possible to open a cannon, Xiao Mo is worried about whether the cannon will be frozen by the winter snow, especially in the barrel, if it is frozen and not detected in time, I am afraid that it will cause very terrible consequences in the future.

However, what made Xiao Mo happy was that the soldiers of the artillery battalion regarded these cannons as their lifeblood, but no matter how cold the weather was, they would send people to clean and maintain the barrel of the cannon every day, and it was boiling water!

But in this way, the iron barrel is easy to rust, so the soldiers of the artillery battalion have to use a knife to scrape the rust inside the barrel every day, which is very troublesome!

After Xiao Mo arrived at the artillery camp, Yun Longsu, the deputy general of the artillery camp, told Xiao Mo about this problem.

After thinking about it, Xiao Mo said to Yun Longsu: "You can only coat the barrel with a layer of silver to see if it has any effect!" ”

"Silver-plated barrels?" Yun Longsu smiled when he heard this, and then said: "General, the last general has not thought about it, but ...... That's all white silver......"

He is just a partial general, where would he dare to make such a decision as silvering the barrel?

Xiao Mo had the courage and courage to take the silver of the white flowers to plate it in the barrel.

Xiao Mo waved his hand and said: "General Ben will talk to Lord Liu about this matter, and then you go to Taiyuan Mansion to find him, and General Ben will naturally be responsible for all the silver expenses!" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yun Longsu secretly praised: The general's departure is really different!

After inspecting the artillery camp, Xiao Mo didn't have anything to do, and the sky was almost dark at this time.

There is a special dish in the barracks tonight, because the general is here...... And the generals naturally prepared a few tables of wine and food to catch up with Xiao Mo and the others.

The banquet was nothing more than eating and drinking, and after arriving at the barracks, Xiao Mo was not so depressed in the capital, so he let go of his hands and feet and drank more wine.

In fact, Xiao Mo felt depressed in his heart, so he drank a few more glasses.

So Xiao Mo got drunk like this, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.

There is no Jade Niang, no Yang Yanqi...... Xiao Mo got up early in the morning and remembered that he was in the barracks, so he called the soldiers to bring water to wash.

Someone came in with a basin of water, but Xiao Mo saw that it was Di Qing.

"Put it down!" Xiao Mo didn't ask Di Qing why he was waiting outside his tent, because Di Qing's face had six words written on his face: I have something to look for you!

Di Qing put down the basin of water, and then asked Xiao Mo: "General, this time the troops are divided into two routes, I don't know which way to attack Xijing?" ”

Xiao Mo replied: "Naturally, it's General Ben, didn't the emperor say it?" General Ben is the Marshal of the Western Road! ”

"Then ......" Di Qing asked again, "Can the last general follow the adults?" ”

"No way!" Xiao Mo replied without thinking: "You also follow me, then who do you let be the commander next to Master Li?" ”

Gritting his teeth, there was still a trace of extravagant hope in Di Qing's eyes that did not subside, he knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Mo and said, "My lord! At the end of the year, Lord Meng pulled it out with one hand, and only then did it achieve today's achievements! Please also continue to carry it for the sake of the general's eagerness to fight...... Let the Admiral follow the adults! ”

Xiao Mo heard this and said to Di Qing: "Hanchen, I know that you want to follow me because of the Western Road army I lead!" You know that...... The target of the Western Road army is Xijing, and Emperor Liao is currently in Xijing, so Meng Gongzuo will definitely stay in Xijing, right? ”

Seeing through Xiao Mo's thoughts, Di Qing had no choice but to nod and say, "Not bad!" Ask for the fulfillment of adults! ”

Xiao Mo looked at Di Qing and asked, "You are already sure that you will be able to defeat Meng Gongzuo?" ”

Di Qing listened, shook his head and said, "No! ”

is very honest, Di Qing knows that in front of Xiao Mo, his thoughts are not hidden at all, so Di Qing never dares to deceive Xiao Mo!
