"According to the information from the Shadow Guard, we will divide our troops into four routes, advance in unison, and take the remaining four counties of Yingzhou Capital as quickly as possible."

Among them, Anyuan County is the most remote, bordering Pingzhou. It also had the largest number of troops, with 6,000 troops and 2,000 servants, and the troops of Le'an County were superior, mainly to resist the attack of the Yan army in the south. The remaining three counties each have 4,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 servants. ”

"Therefore, with the Angry Front Battalion and the Red Wolf Battalion working together to capture Anyuan County, at that time, there will be Shadow Guard and Blood Shadow Guard to assist you, after taking Anyuan County, immediately calm me down, and then the foot soldiers will arrive. Remember, after taking Anyuan County, your defenses will be the same as those of the Evil Army, understand? Zhao Xun said lightly.

Everyone was stunned, and immediately understood that what Zhao Xun meant by this was that Anyuan County was captured, so Anyuan County was no longer defended by the Yan Army, but by the Yan Army in Pingzhou.

How could Zhao Mang not know the meaning of what Zhao Xun said? He and the others were killed by the governor of Pingzhou and fled to the Yingzhou capital. This kind of hatred of destroying the family and killing the father can not be forgotten.

Zhao Mang immediately got up, Yan Xu followed, bowed down, and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates understand that Anyuan County only belongs to the Huolin Army!" ”

Zhao Xun nodded, with some inexplicable light in his eyes, and said: "Very good, after conquering the counties, pacify the place, treat it the same as the Yanzhou Mansion, and the matter of distributing the land will be responsible for the administrative officials. ”

"Now, I'll assign the task! At present, we have 5,000 people in five battalions of the Zuofu Army, 1,000 infantry soldiers in Yanshan Fort, 3,000 people in the three battalions of the Yingzhou Army, and 1,000 Qingzhuang soldiers in Le'an County, totaling 10,000 infantry soldiers. If there are 2,000 people left in Le'an County, there are only 8,000 people who can move with you, in other words, each of your teams will have 2,000 foot soldiers to fight together. ”

"Anyuan County has the Nufeng Battalion and the Red Wolf Battalion in charge, and the Guzi Battalion, Gangzi Battalion, and Xinzi Battalion respectively captured the remaining three counties. Pull down the land of these four counties as quickly as you can. After taking Majiazhuang, the heavy cavalry battalion will then support you. Questions? ”

"No problem!" The captains of the three cavalry battalions said in unison.

"Very good, after returning to the camp, act immediately, the Shadow Guard will pass on the information they have collected to you, you change into the banner and armor of the Shadow Army, take the secret order of General Lei Yan, pass through some sentry posts, and go straight to your destination."

"In addition, half of the instructors of the recruit camp will go with you, and when you arrive at the place, you will recruit new recruits, and at the same time, the returning servant army will be reorganized and trained."

"Captain Huo Shanhuo!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Captain Huo, you are most familiar with the situation in Le'an County, so you will help you complete the reorganization of the army in Le'an County. I think that after the Yan Ya army swept it once, there are not a few young people whose families are ruined, and there are also many who are willing to take revenge! ”

Huo Shan said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates should fully assist in the matter of conscription." ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "Okay! Captain Huo is a righteous man! In the matter of military recruitment in Le'an County, you have your assistance. The battalions immediately prepared and then set off. After the infantry of the Zuofu Army and the Yingzhou Army were divided, they also followed. ”

"Report ......" a shout came from outside the tent. According to the military order, outsiders were not allowed to enter the military when the military situation was discussed, and the herald required permission before he could do so.

"Report! My lord, Yanzhou City is in urgent military situation! The guards outside the tent came inside and said.

Zhao Xun frowned and said, "The messenger of Yanzhou City? ”

"Yes, sir. It looks like it's coming at a gallop! The guard continued.

"Let him in!"

"Strange, what will happen to Yanzhou City? Shadow Guard didn't send any news...... "Zhao Xun feels a little bad.

A sweaty, panting soldier walked in. He saluted Zhao Xun and said, "Qi Hang, the messenger of the Governor's Mansion, has seen my lord!" ”

After that, he took out a secret letter from his arms, Han Meng stepped forward, took it, and handed it to Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun took it and frowned slightly, because it had the double mark of the Shadow Guard and the Governor's Mansion on it. The Governor's Mansion is naturally the highest external organ of the Huolin Army, and all matters are counted and processed by the Governor's Mansion before they are distributed. Zhao Xun is the highest, and there are a series of departments under it, such as the Shadow Guard, the Blood Shadow Guard, the Government Affairs Department, the Supervision Department, the Taxation Department, and the Finance Department.

Zhao Xun opened the sealed letter, and after reading a few lines, his face suddenly became grim. Inside the big tent, all the captains on both sides held their breath, waiting for Zhao Xun's speech. They saw some clues from Zhao Xun's face, and it seemed that something had happened.

Zhao Xun put away the letter, pressed it lightly on the table, glanced at the people around him, and said softly: "Send this brother down to rest first." ”

After the messenger left, Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "I received news just now that Bai County at the northern end of Yanzhou Mansion was attacked by the Northern Navy, losing more than 1,000 people, and Bai County in several villages and towns outside Bai County was slaughtered. ”

Looking at everyone's puzzled faces, Zhao Xun said again: "This Northern Navy, everyone is still very familiar with it. Originally, when we had not yet risen, it was the Yan Ya Bo Du Department who besieged the Yanzhou Mansion. The last two roads were defeated by us, and more than 10,000 of the Yan troops in the south were completely annihilated by us, and 10,000 people were withdrawn from the north. The leader of the retreating 10,000 people was the tribe's eldest prince, Chishu. ”

"After the Chi Dynasty withdrew from Yanzhou Mansion, he immediately rushed back to the tribe. Unexpectedly, this guy is really a character, following the example of the Xiongnu Shan Yu who killed his father in the first year of Qin II and stood on his own, killed his younger brother, killed all the ministers who dissided, and finally killed his father and replaced him, becoming the king of the Tatam Bo Dubu department, and now he is called the king of Beihai. ”

Zhao Xun laughed at himself: "I thought that the army would not go south in winter, and the army would not go south lightly because of the losses last time, but I didn't expect that this old and spicy guy gave us a blow to the head." Now 50,000 troops have gathered in the north of Baixian, surrounded Baixian, and are determined to capture Baixian. The infantry stationed in Baixian County has suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the situation is not good, and even the infantry captains Zhao Fei and Qin You have also been seriously injured. ”

"That'...... My lord, are we still going south to the Yingzhou capital? Luo Qi, the captain of the Guzi Battalion, asked in a low voice.

"Otherwise, let's go back north, this Bai County can't be lost, otherwise 50,000 troops will pour into Yanzhou Mansion, and it will be ...... At that time, even if Yingzhou Mansion is taken by us, we will not be worth it, after all, Yanzhou Mansion is now well run by us, making our base camp. Li Chenfeng, the general of the Zuo Mansion, saw that Zhao Xun had not made a decision for a long time, and said on the side.

Zhao Xun tapped lightly on the table, thinking about the situation in front of him. It is an excellent time to go south to Yingzhou Capital, and once you miss it, it will be even more difficult to attack it again in the future. As long as the Yingzhou capital is quickly taken and stabilized quickly, the room for the Huolin army to turn around is much greater. But now the situation in Baixian County is also very tense, as Li Chenfeng said, once Baixian County is lost, Yanzhou Mansion will be in danger, and Yanzhou Mansion, which is short of troops, will be occupied by the Yan Army again, and the efforts and operations of the past year and half a year will be in vain, and maybe the situation will be even worse. In fact, the importance of Yanzhou Mansion is much greater than that of Yingzhou Mansion, after all, Yanzhou Mansion has been safely held by the Huolin Army, while Yingzhou Mansion is still in the hands of the Yan Army, even if it is occupied, it will take half a year to a year of operation before it can provide help for itself.

But now it is indeed an opportunity to take the Yingzhou capital, and it would be a pity to miss it. Most of the army of the Funebu is now fighting against Li Muzhi in Weizhou, and has not yet received news of his own actions. Once they negotiated a price with some people in the court, Li Muzhi would withdraw his cavalry of the Longxiang army, and at that time, his Yanzhou Mansion would be the target of the Yan army, and he would also be in danger of being caught in the north and south.

Zhao Xun raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The plan remains the same, you continue to go south to Yingzhou Mansion, and give me the fastest speed to capture Yingzhou Mansion." Officials from the Administration Department, the Finance Department, the Supervision Department, the Land and Household Registration Department, the Taxation Department, the Commerce Department, and so on will arrive later, and you will help them to manage the place well. As for Bai County, I personally rescued. The Blood Shadow Guard and the Shadow Guard will have full authority to assist you, use your brains in battle, don't fight hard, and don't trade the casualties of your soldiers for victory. The strategy of poisoning and killing the army is not bad, although it took a long time, but it did not lose a single soldier and wiped out thousands of people, this kind of battle example is worth learning from. ”

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, and then let's go, time waits for no one!" Zhao Xun finally ordered.

Suddenly, the entire Chinese army's big tent was empty, leaving only Li Chenfeng, the general of the Zuofu Army. Li Chenfeng looked at Zhao Xun, who was a little worried, and asked in a deep voice, "What?" The situation is dangerous? ”

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly: "It's really urgent, Baixian is under siege, even Zhao Fei is seriously injured, I don't know what the situation is now?" What's more, this Beihai King's methods are too sophisticated, it can be said that he is ruthless, and he is also a big thing, and against him, the outcome is unpredictable. Once this kind of person is in power, he will kill decisively...... Also, his territory is very close to our Yanzhou Mansion, and it is convenient to replenish troops. Although he has one shortcoming, that is, in the winter season, the logistics are difficult, even more difficult than ours. ”

"Well, I'd like to take on him and see who wins. Uncle Li, the affairs of Yingzhou Mansion will be handed over to you, you are a veteran, with you in charge, I can rest assured! ”

Li Chenfeng shook his head and smiled: "I'm a veteran, but you can rest assured, I will assist these little guys in the war in Yingzhou Mansion." As for government affairs, I don't understand, so don't bother me. ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Uncle Li, don't worry, leave the affairs of government affairs to those who read to do, they are good at that." ”

Li Chenfeng smiled and advised: "Xun'er, be careful on this trip, the north of Baixian, after all, there are 50,000 Northern Navy, don't hurt yourself." Really...... If you really can't do it, then give up. After all, we are much stronger than before. As long as you preserve your strength, you can still make a comeback. ”

Zhao inquired: "Uncle Li, don't worry, I understand, I will definitely protect myself." ”

Not long after, the whole camp began to stir, and groups of cavalry rushed out of the camp and galloped towards the south. A group of foot soldiers also drove to the south, and the entire camp of the Yan Army was also dismantled one by one, and after being sorted out by the logistics personnel, they were pulled away one by one.

And Zhao Xun also returned to Yanshan Fort again, according to the plan, as long as Le'an County is occupied, after the four-way army reaches the destination, Yanshan Fort will be destroyed, not retained, but now the north is critical, the situation in the south has just begun, Zhao Xun, who does not know the result, did not put forward the opinion of destroying Yanshan Fort, so he had to keep it first, waiting for future processing.

Su Ziyan also followed closely behind Zhao Xun, she naturally couldn't enter the previous discussion, and she didn't know much about the situation of the discussion, according to the plan, Zhao Xun was going to Le'an County to command his subordinates to fight a series of battles against Yingzhou Mansion, but looking at Zhao Xun's current appearance, it seemed that he was not ready to go south.

"Lord Zhao, are you going south with the army and command the whole army in Le'an County? How do you look at you, it seems like you're going north. You shouldn't be going back to Yanzhou City, right? Is this your battle plan? That's not what you said at first. Su Ziyan asked, her dissatisfaction was undoubtedly revealed, and she was blaming Zhao Xun for not telling her about the new plan.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "The situation is ever-changing, and the battle plan will also change according to the change in the situation, what's so strange about this?" If you stick to your plan, you're stupid! The plan now is that we will rush back to Yanzhou City immediately, immediately! ”

After that, Zhao Xun asked Han Meng to gather the team and prepare to rush back to Yanzhou City.
