In just a few days, Zhao Xun gathered troops again. It's the same as the last time, the only difference is that the last time it was because it was to take over power, and this time it was to defeat the enemy army.

"I'm General Ye's deputy, General Ye is injured, I'll lead you!" Looking at the non-commissioned officers with different expressions, Zhao Xun said slowly.

"What? If you lose the battle, you will all become grandchildren? So many Paozawa brothers died, and even the general was injured, you didn't think about revenge? Are you all? Looking at the unresponsive soldiers, Zhao Xun shouted.

At this time, the soldiers below finally reacted, and some people also began to respond, and there were not a few who cursed.

Zhao Xun laughed and said: "I thought it was all unplanted, it doesn't matter if you lose the battle, as long as you have a heart of revenge, as long as you have the heart to stand up, what's so great about Tang Jun?" They're the same as me, with one nose and one mouth. What I see now is a group of guys who have no fighting spirit, if all the soldiers are like you, then Shanyang Mansion is finished, and your family is finished. ”

"Your homes are all in the counties of Shanyang Prefecture in the rear, if the Tang army goes south and goes all the way unhindered, what will be the result? You are also clear. Wives are separated, families are ruined, is this what you want to see? How are the people of Liangzhou Mansion? Have you not been taught a lesson? Do you also want your family members to be used as cannon fodder for siege of the city, just like the young men and women of the counties of Liangzhou Prefecture? Zhao Xun shouted coldly.

"Although our army was defeated last time, the Tang army also suffered a lot of losses, which shows that the gap between us and the Tang army is not so big. If you want to avenge your brothers, if you want to protect your family, if you want to become a master, from today onwards, give me honest training, and I will lead you to fight to the death. Let Tang Jun see, my Shanyang Mansion Army is not weak. ”

…………

"How's it going? Is it still smooth for Li Feng to take over the barracks? Ye Xuan, who was lying in the bedroom, asked casually.

"If you will be a general, you have completed the takeover of the remnants of the various armies. That General Li has turned 6,000 people into a battalion and three fruits, and now, let's train. The soldier next to him replied with a faint admiration.

"So quickly? This man is not simple! Feng Ziming, you are so lucky to have such a person to help. Ye Xuan muttered to himself.

Because the Tang army was also resting, and because the Tang army couldn't figure out the actions of the Shanyang Prefecture army, the Tang army did not take any action for four or five days, and even the common sense siege and challenge were not carried out. The entire battlefield suddenly fell into a brief silence.

However, Zhao Xun continued to strengthen the training of the soldiers of this battalion. At the same time, the people who let themselves come secretly on the one hand serve as instructors and adjutants, train soldiers, and on the other hand, they also begin to investigate the situation of the Tang Army.

It is impossible to strengthen the combat effectiveness of these soldiers in a short period of time. Zhao Xun emphasized his willpower and obedience, and ordered and forbidden, the most basic requirement at that time. In addition, some basic physical training and battle formation training are also carried out. Fortunately, these are all government soldiers, and they also have a certain foundation, plus they have been on the battlefield some time ago and have experienced actual combat, so it is not like going anywhere.

On the sixth day, the right general of the Tang army, Meng Zhao, could no longer sit still, and after the spies sent to Shanyang Mansion to inquire about the news reported the information that there was no abnormal situation in the Shanyang Mansion army, he once again sent a letter of challenge to Ye Xuan, the defender of the city. The arrogance of words is needless to say. Even when Zhao Xun saw it, there was a trace of anger surging.

"He's going to provoke me to fight!" Ye Xuan, who read the letter, didn't show any anger, just smiled lightly and said casually.

"General Ye, such a calm temperament, Li is ashamed!" Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said: "It's not that I have a calm temperament, but the last big defeat told me, as a general, I can't be distracted because of outside things." Of course, now that I'm angry, what's the use. ”

"Two generals, should we or should we not fight this war?" Zhang Ting asked in a deep voice.

"Now I am a patient, and it is General Li who is in charge, and General Li is in charge of this matter." Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Zhao Xun did not shirk it, but asked: "Is the logistics supply of the Tang Army all supplied by Liangzhou Mansion?" And the people of Liangzhou Mansion have no one to resist? ”

Zhang Ting was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Part of it is from Liangzhou Mansion, part of it is transported from the rear of the Tang Army, and most of them come from the rear." After all, the Liangzhou Mansion was newly incorporated under his command, and the people were displaced, and it was not easy to obtain food and grass materials from it for a while, unless he did not want to occupy this place. But it is clear that Tang Jun takes the Liangzhou government very seriously, and now has implemented some tax cuts to appease people. ”

"As for the people who rebelled against the Tang army, alas...... Speaking of which, Tang Jun is too ruthless. They sent a logistics team composed of young men from Liangzhou Mansion to attack the city, and we were forced to counterattack, but instead let the Tang army in Liangzhou Mansion trumpet the cruelty of our methods and kill the innocent young men who transported grain. Now, the people of the counties of Liangzhou are slowly beginning to favor the Tang army. Zhang Ting bitterly explained the methods of the Tang Army.

Zhao Xun frowned when he heard this, this Tang army is indeed very good at means, and then the government army did not dare to come out lightly, but began to stabilize the rule of Liangzhou Mansion, and at the same time sent those unstable elements to the hands of the government army and let them be slaughtered. Regardless of the means, what made them feel urgent was that the Tang army had already begun to consolidate the rule of the Liangzhou Mansion.

"There is no chance of winning against us now, and besides, the current morale is simply not able to fight hard with the enemy. Ignore it, sue the soldiers who defend the city, and then there are Tang Army rangers who approach archery to send letters and the like, and shoot them directly! I want to boost the morale of my soldiers, and I also want to cause trouble for the Tang army. If you want to make a soldier an elite, you can only fight on the battlefield. This is also the fastest way, Captain Zhang, the matter of defending the city is handed over to you, and I will take people out to carry out activities behind enemy lines. Zhao Xun said with a fierce light in his eyes.

…………

"Refused? Come to think of it, they didn't dare to fight us, these government soldiers were completely stupid by the last war. "Tang Junshuai, a captain Zhiguo said with a laugh.

"That being said, it also made it a lot harder for us to move next. Are we going to continue the siege? Where is the field battle that comes quickly? The other lieutenant said with a frown.

"What are you afraid of, the enemy's courage has been lost, the army is coming, and Boping City is easy." The previous lieutenant said disapprovingly.

"Wei Fei, you won't forget jì, who is guarding Boping City, he is Zhang Ting's old guy, he is simply a turtle. The first raid, it was because of him that we failed. Then he led the offensive for more than a month. Besides, we have killed so many government soldiers, the one named Ye Xuan, I don't think he will give up. ”

Meng Zhao sat on the main seat, closed his eyes slightly, and was silent. The failure of the invitation to fight, he had already anticipated. After all, if you have a strong city, why fight a strong enemy outside the city?

"Zhang Ting, Ye Xuan! Not going out of the city does have the advantage of defending the city, but it is also trapped in the city. When the time comes, it will be difficult to come up with it. Meng Zhao, who closed his eyes and recuperated, thought secretly.

These battles in Boping City had already given the Tang army the upper hand, so Meng Zhao was not too worried. What he is worried about now is two things, one is his rear, and the other is where Shanyang Mansion is.

The planned reinforcements could not arrive, which made Meng Zhao both excited and stressed. The reason for the excitement is naturally that the credit for this time is his own, although there are no reinforcements, but whether it is Liangzhou Mansion or Shanyang Mansion, who can stop him? Even Boping City in front of him can't stop himself. But again, there are pros and cons. Without reinforcements, their own forces are somewhat stretched. If there are 10,000 more people in his hands now, then he will dare to divide his troops into two ways now, attack Boping City all the way, and cut off the pressure on his flanks. All the way straight south to occupy Sanyang Mansion.

In addition, he Meng Zhao has other tasks, and if he and Xu Jie's actions are not well perfected, then there may be some changes in the alliance above.

"The Shanyang Mansion army has not made any moves, does he want to take revenge on Ye Xuan and let us break Boping? It shouldn't be, what Feng Ziming's reputation is, even the people of Liangzhou Mansion know it. Even if he and Ye Xuan had problems, they would never watch Ye Xuan's entire army die. But why didn't he send reinforcements? The second question that Meng Zhao was worried about made him a little uncertain.

Compared to the previous one, this is a problem that is difficult to solve, but needs to be clarified.

"Do they have other plans? What is this Feng Ziming doing? Although Meng Zhao didn't say it, some lieutenants still began to pay attention to the situation in their Shanyang Mansion, because the people from Shanyang Mansion, that is, this Feng Ziming, entered the collusion between them. It can be said that this Feng Ziming took advantage of Xu Jie and Tang Jun.

Feng Ziming is now independent, but outside of Feng Ziming's banner, Xu Jie really doesn't dare to deal with the other party. After all, before Meng Zhao entered Shanyang Mansion and occupied Shanyang Mansion, Feng Ziming's location was crucial. If Feng Ziming was on the side of the Wuwei Army, then Xu Jie would be miserable. But now Feng Ziming didn't make any moves, and it was precisely because of this that Meng Zhao paid special attention to Feng Ziming. This Feng Ziming was completely because Xu Jie and their alliance did not dare to make it public, so he firmly occupied Shanyang Mansion, and forced Xu Jie not to smash the face and declare Feng Ziming a rebel.

"Umeng! Let your subordinate spies do their best to collect the passage of Feng Ziming's ascendancy, and at the same time spread the spies in the military camp to all directions, and within ten miles, I must know it clearly. I don't want to see reinforcements from Sanyang Province burst in on our side. Meng Zhao said coldly.
