Yang Ling just thought about it for a while, and then said, "Whether the location is hidden or not, I will wait for the army to come, and we need to be concealed to have the effect of a surprise army." ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, this place is close to the mountain, and there is a spring on the mountain, which is enough for the predecessor to hide!" The soldier nodded in response.

Yang Ling said, "In this way, march quickly, hurry up and set up camp!" ”

With these words, the Chinese army immediately accelerated the speed of the march, after all, it is an extremely cumbersome matter to renovate the camp, and it is necessary to arrive quickly.

In this era, encampment was not as simple as imagined, and even though the army was still on the march, scouts had to report to the commander in detail the places where they might camp ahead.

It is necessary to temporarily go to the felling of wood for materials, and a temporary wooden wall should be enclosed around all around, the production method is to cut two rows of tree trunks first, one row is long and one row is short, and the trunk is scorched and buried in half of the soil, the long trunk is arranged into a tight row outside, and the short trunk is arranged in a row inside, and then a wooden board is erected between the two rows of trunks, which is divided into upper and lower layers, so that the part of the long trunk becomes a parapet.

The upper level of the planks allows soldiers to patrol and post posts, and the lower level allows soldiers to store defensive weapons and rest. A squad of the Tang Army consisted of fifty soldiers plus one deputy of the captain's team, and the same was true when camping, everyone's tents were facing each other, and drainage ditches were dug around the tents and between the camps. It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to wander between the camps, and tents are not allowed to run around in the camps.

Dig a public toilet in each barracks, and the interesting thing is that in the art of war, the barracks also attach great importance to hygiene, and take the trouble to emphasize that the location of the toilet digging is very important, and it should be far away from the water source and the place where the grain is stored, and it should be a certain distance from the barracks, but not too far, so as not to let the officers and soldiers who go to the toilet not be able to return to the team in time, and of course it should not be too close.

Military camps should also pay attention to epidemic prevention, such as burying and burning the domestic garbage of people and livestock in a timely manner, and isolating seriously ill patients and patients with infectious diseases.

This system was also during the period of the Great Song Dynasty, and a complete system was slowly formed.

Before noon, including Yue Fei's baggage rear team, basically all had arrived, and at this time the camp had not yet been set up, Luo Yanqing was still in charge of the guard of the Quartet, and the sentry cavalry was released far away, and Lei Yuanwen commanded the soldiers to go up the mountain to cut down the wood and circle the camp at this time, and there was only the sound of clean work around, and no one shouted loudly.

In Zhuozhou City, when Pharmacist Guo received the letter, he just frowned, "What is Xiao Yuqing doing?" The strength of Zhuoyi and Erzhou is already stretched, with a total of less than 4,000, and the Song army is as many as 100,000 south of the Baigou River, how can they choose to hit the stone with an egg? ”

Zhen Wuchen said, "Could it be that the defense is the attack, and the Song people are not allowed to go on the Northern Expedition?" ”

Guo Yaoshi was silent for a long time, "If the Song people make up their minds about the Northern Expedition, this point of strength is undeterred, the only thing that can be explained is that the mentality of the southerners is wavering at this moment. ”

"Brother Guo, why do you feel that there are a lot of strange things about this matter, do you want to send someone to investigate one or two?" Zhen Wuchen just stepped forward and asked.

"No need, Zhao Heshou is not our henchman, this time the people who went south have Khitan and Zhao Heshou, if the southerners fight for a breath and get rid of it in one fell swoop, it happens that we have a lot less constraints, if the southerners do not move, then it proves that they are weak, and it is not wise to defect to Zhao Song in the future, this time we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, test the moisture of both sides, and wait for the choice in the future!" I have to say that Pharmacist Guo's words were extremely convincing to Zhen Wuchen, and Zhen Wuchen stopped talking at the moment.

The sun is gradually setting, a small camp has been built, basically if there is an enemy attack, it can also be resisted for a while, coupled with the strength of the Great Song Dynasty's arm and bow, even if there are thousands of soldiers and horses on the side, it can also be safe.

At night, Lei Yuanwen returned to the camp with a body of wind and dust, and before he had time to drink saliva, he urgently asked to see Yang Ling, the bonfire in the tent was bright, Lei Yuanwen said carefully, "Twenty miles away from here, there is a small mountain, called Ehu Mountain, two years ago, the chaos of Yandi was born, and it was occupied by bandits, this group of bandits is mainly composed of ruffians and hooligans, but there are many people from good families who are forced to helplessly, and in addition to the years of war, the bandits also accepted some of the defeated soldiers who were defeated and scattered in the Great War. ”

When Yang Ling heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "How many bandits are here, have you investigated clearly." ”

"The last general didn't dare to reveal his whereabouts, but he just looked at the cottage of Ehu Mountain from a distance, and judging by its scale, it should be about 100 people." Lei Yuanwen replied truthfully.

Yang Ling said lightly, "How do you know this information in such detail?" ”

"Hui Yu lord, one of the outpost Luo Yanqing's sentinel cavalry horses has heard of this, this mountain bandit leader is called Hu Sandao, once a village ruffian, after occupying the mountain as the king, this is not a crime, perennial wandering in various places to burn and rob, the village will loot the property, the Liao court at this time is overstretched, but all the strong who can be recruited have already been trained to form a new army or transferred to the north to resist the Jurchens, or to fight with our Song army, the Liao people are also around the rebellion army constantly, There is no time to take care of these bandits and bandits, so Hu Sandao has always been a disaster in the township, and the people in the neighboring villages have either been forced to become thieves over the years, and the others have not died under the knife of the bandits, and the others have fled. ”

Yue Fei on the side said loudly: "My lord, these bandits are the one who is in trouble, and the general will think that whether it is in the Liao Realm and the Song Realm, they should eliminate violence and peace when they encounter this matter." ”

Yang Ling was silent, at this time his thoughts were no longer on whether to kill the bandits, Lei Yuanwen said, there is no shortage of defeated soldiers in the cottage, so, can you suppress the bandits, and train the people who are not bad in temperament to strengthen their strength.

And it is expected that these bandits have been roaming the land for many years, burning, killing and looting, and there must be not a small number of grain and grass accumulated over the years, so that they can not only train soldiers and soldiers through the suppression of bandits, but temper them into a strong army, and under the battle to nourish the war, their strength will not only not be greatly reduced, but will be increased.

However, in this way, I am afraid that my actions will be more hidden, after all, this can be said to be a big taboo, if it is exposed to the bright side, secretly raising soldiers and self-respect, it is a big crime of rebellion, Yang Lingtian is just caught in a difficult choice.

"My lord, my lord......" Yue Fei saw that Yang Ling was stunned, and couldn't help but call, Yang Ling woke up and said: "Bandits have no way, my officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are benevolent and righteous teachers, how can they not kill this thief and ...... quickly"
