Yang Hao followed Yin Tongxiang's gaze, and in a clearing not far behind him, Tan Kongzheng was pointing and discussing something with several stewards and teachers of the Martial Arts Academy in a clearing area.

"That's empty talk." Yin Tongxiang roared in a low voice, her eyes blood-red like a wolf that has encountered an enemy,

"It's about the professor, what's wrong?"

"He's Xiao Tsing Yi, don't you know." Yin Tongxiang accentuated her tone and called out in surprise, "He is one of the founding fathers of Xiao Qingyi, third brother, don't you really know." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "He is now the director of the Fengzhou Education Bureau, the chief teacher of the Wubei Academy and the head of the non-commissioned officer department, and he is also one of the most beloved professors among students. ”

"This ......" Yin Tongxiang opened her mouth wide, the dignified little Tsing Yi and the founding patriarch of the Thorn Horse Academy, now working so hard for a junior in this small place in Fengzhou, which made Yin Tongxiang extremely surprised,

"Third brother, you have changed."

"Is it for the better or for the worse?"

"It's a reborn change, third brother, you really impress the younger brother, maybe you're right, I still won't go back to Jiannan for the time being, I want to learn more from you."

Yang Hao smiled, in fact, he also understood in his heart that Li Yan sent Yin Tongxiang to Feng'an to persuade him not to leave, Yin Tongxiang was rescued by the Thorn Horse Battalion after being exiled for a year, and then planned the riot in the four states of Jiannan, although he was not the number one, but he played a pivotal role in it.

Through the conversation with Yin Tongxiang, Yang Hao found that it has been more than a year, although Yin Tongxiang has matured a lot, but he still has a lot of deficiencies in military command, which can be clearly seen from his selection of clothes and armor in the warehouse.

Maybe Yin Tongxiang can be a good guard commander, but it is not easy to command thousands of troops after all, this is the purpose of Yang Hao to take him to visit the martial arts academy, he wants to take advantage of Yin Tongxiang's time in Fengzhou, to make up for the lesson of command, the biggest advantage of the martial arts academy is that both students and teachers are personnel with actual combat experience, and many people have been proven to be successful people on the battlefield,

Even Yang Hao himself is very willing to stay in this place, where he can relax himself wholeheartedly, calm down and think about something, things that he can't usually think about, this is the reason why the five hundred people of the Wubei Academy want to occupy a thousand acres of land, Yang Hao also wants them to have a quiet and independent environment, let them think well,

Tan Kong finally found Yang Hao, he asked the attendants to stand in place, and strode over by himself,

"What is the teacher doing here?"

Yang Hao took the initiative to greet Tan Kong, although Tan Kong was his subordinate, he was also his teacher and life-saving benefactor, recalling that at the beginning, Dong Bacheng took advantage of his unstable foothold and led eight thousand soldiers to attack him, if it weren't for him, Wu Ming, and Tang Hu behind their backs praising the painting strategy, how could Yang Hao have the opportunity to stand here and talk eloquently,

"This is a ten-acre square depression, and we are going to dig a canal to bring in the water of the Yellow River and make it a training base for the navy, so that these landlubbers can also learn to learn water warfare."

Yang Hao heard this and immediately became interested, the sailor battalion at the beginning of the year across the border to attack the Zhenwu army in the operation of the performance is very prominent, transporting grain and grass supplies, transporting soldiers, blocking the river, blocking the enemy from crossing the river, etc., this makes Yang Hao realize the important role of the navy, half a year ago in the military academy added a naval department, specializing in training all kinds of talents of the naval army, talking about empty everywhere to search for talents, the naval department is now also a full of talents,

"After the survey, tell me, and I'll transfer a few battalions to help you dig." Yang Hao has always been responsive to the needs of the martial arts academy.

Tan Kong waved his hand: "There are more than 500 people of all ages and children in the martial arts academy, we dig it ourselves, if we can't bear this bit of hardship, how can we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country in the future." ”

Yang Hao laughed and didn't insist anymore, the biggest feature of the martial arts academy under the rule of Tankong is that he does everything by himself, rarely reaches out to himself for help, the school is relocated from the city to the outside of the city, all the furniture, books, and weapons are moved by teachers and students, and no one or a man or soldier has been used from beginning to end.

Yin Tongxiang looked at the depression in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "How does Mr. know that the puddle here will be ten acres square in the future, and how do you know that digging a canal can lead water here, in case this place is higher than the river level?" ”

Tan Kong Wenyan laughed and said: "If you can't even do this well, do you dare to call it a martial arts academy, how can you not understand astronomy and geography when marching and fighting, I said that ten acres of land may have a discrepancy, but the discrepancy will never exceed three points, this can be measured after the puddle is impounded, as for you are worried that the terrain here is high and the water cannot be brought over, this is not a problem, there are at least five ways to calculate it, do you want to say it and listen to it." ”

Yang Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then there is no need, Yulang, there are such masters in the martial arts academy, you don't need to doubt this." ”

Yin Tongxiang was a little unconvinced, looked around, and mocked: "It is said that it is a martial arts academy, why don't I see where there is martial arts, don't you generals here practice archery, and with a wave of your hand, you can take the head of a general thousands of miles away." ”

After all, Yang Hao had a lot of dealings with Yin Tongxiang, and knew that he was a little picky because he lost face, so he comforted Yin Tongxiang and said: "No matter how well they ride and shoot, they can't compare to your dragoon guards back then, so don't look at this." ”

Tan Kong was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked with excitement on his face, "Have you ever been in the Dragoon Guard?" Yin Tongxiang couldn't understand why he was so excited when he heard the words "Dragoon Guard", so he cast an inquiring glance at Yang Hao,

"Yulang, you may not know that Professor Tan is one of the founding fathers of the Dragoon." Yang Hao explained,

Tankong became even more proud, and he waved his hand again and again: "There is no longer the courage of the past." Yin Tongxiang was immediately in awe when she heard this, and said: "It is rumored that there are three founding fathers of the Dragoon Guard, Tan, Luo, and Tang, and it turns out that the real person is in front of me, but it is ridiculous that I have eyes and do not know Mount Tai." ”

Tan Kong suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that the most proud work of my life has been wasted." ”

Yang Hao comforted: "Although the dragon rider guard is hard to find, the two are still alive and well, and there will still be a chance to see the light of day again in the future." ”

Yin Tongxiang said excitedly: "I didn't expect that this remote place in Feng'an is actually the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Mr. Tan, Yin Tongxiang is willing to worship Mr. as a teacher, I don't know if I am willing to accept it." Tan Kongdao: "It's okay to be my student, but you have to abide by my rules, and if you violate the door rules, I will not show any mercy, even Yang Hao can't break my rules." ”

Yang Hao quipped: "I can testify to this, Professor Tan is absolutely selfless." ”

"Then I will also worship Mr. as a teacher." Yin Tongxiang sighed slightly, "Speaking of which, the third brother still has a vision, back then we were all busy to become officials, but the third brother went to the Thorn Horse Academy." ”

Yang Hao smiled faintly, he didn't say anything, it was a coincidence that he was able to go to the Thorn Horse Academy back then, how could he have thought so far-reaching,

After Yin Tongxiang volunteered to stay, his subordinates also came to Feng'an one after another, the number was not as many as Yin Tongxiang said, only one hundred and thirty-five people, all of them were experienced in a hundred battles of wisdom and bravery, Yang Hao organized them into a sentry of men, named "Jiannan Sentinel", hung under the name of the fire camp, and soon selected more than 20 people from it to be sent to the martial arts academy for further study,

The spring of the three years is destined to be an unquiet spring, due to the severe cold wind and snow last winter and this spring, a large number of cattle and sheep and other livestock on the grassland died, and those peoples who live on animal husbandry: the Khitan, the Murwei, the Xi and the Uighurs are all short of food to varying degrees.

Yang Hao has been closely watching the movements of the surrounding ethnic groups, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, he has provided 20,000 catties of grain and grass and 30,000 catties of hay to the hard-hit barbarian black department three times to help them tide over the difficulties, a considerable part of these assistance is gratuitous, in return, the barbarian blacks at the beginning of the year completely expelled the Xi people entrenched in the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, these Xi people have been reduced to horse bandits, they gather in the mountains and forests, harass the passing merchants, and seriously threaten the trade route leading to the Guannai through the surrendered city,

In addition to the five tribes of the barbarian black, the Vulture tribe also received Yang Hao's assistance, some tribes with different surnames and tribes in the southeast of the Uighurs, although they did not receive Yang Hao's generous assistance, but they also got the necessary materials for the winter through trade, as for those tribes that were neither allies nor had business contacts, Yang Hao could not control them, although he had materials in his hands, but those tribes were poor only with knives and guns, a bottomless pit, who could fill it,

At the beginning of March, the Khitans raided two small tribes in the eastern Uighurs: Falla and Gilge, plundering about 3,000 cattle and sheep and 1,500 men and women.

The behavior of the Khitans was very bad, they often razed the entire conquered tribes to the ground, burned, killed, plundered, and did bad things, more than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes in the eastern Uighurs formed an alliance to take revenge on the Khitans, the coalition army totaled 27,000 people, led by the leader of the Mutuo tribe, the most powerful royal tribe in the eastern Uighurs, and the Mutuo tribe was led by the Mutuo tribe, the Mutuo tribe, the most powerful royal tribe in the eastern Uighurs, and the Mutuo army fought with the Khitans more than a dozen times, winning less and losing more,

The Khitans changed their strategy and induced Mo Ji to come to the camp to negotiate, but Mo Ji did not know whether he was planning to go alone, and was immediately detained by the Khitans, forcing Mo Ji to agree to break away from the Uighurs and join the Khitan, but Mo Ji did not agree, and was tortured to death by the Khitans.

Yang Hao has always been wary of the Khitan, and after Mo Yu was killed, Yang Hao thought that the Uighurs would make some moves, not to mention a large-scale attack to wipe out the Khitans, at least he should have something to say, otherwise where would the face of the Uighur Khanate go, but things greatly surprised Yang Hao, and the Uighurs were silent, as if nothing had happened,

The Khitans, who were desperate to fill the gaps, began to gain an inch, and they annexed sixteen small and medium-sized tribes, including the Mutuo tribe, which were located in the southeast of the Uighur Khanate, bordering the Tiande Army and the Zhenwu Army in the south, and the Uighurs still held back and did not say a word, Yang Hao found himself would have to face a dangerous enemy, the Khitan, the new power in the north,
