Out of Yecheng, it didn't take a moment for Yuan Mai to come to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After getting off the horse, Yuan Mai went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, how to say that he is also the supervisor of this army, even if he does not stick to his post, he should ask about the military aircraft every day.

After entering the tent, Yuan Mai found that Tian Feng was also there, and he had already brought dozens of cronies to the camp yesterday afternoon. At this moment, he is discussing the route of the march with Koji.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Mai got good news, due to Tian Feng's protest, Yuan Shao reprimanded Yuan Shang and ordered him not to prevaricate the Northern Expeditionary Army with the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Mosquito meat is also meat, 10,000 old and weak soldiers are also soldiers, it is originally to attack more with less, if it is mixed with half of the old, weak, sick and disabled, to attack Daijun, it is strange not to be surrounded by Tian Yu. Wouldn't that be a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth and throwing itself into a net? Yuan Shao wouldn't be so stupid that he didn't even understand such a simple truth!

Yesterday morning, 2,000 men were transferred, and 3,000 were transferred in the afternoon, and the quality of this group of soldiers in the afternoon was obviously a notch better than that in the morning. In one more day today, it is estimated that all 10,000 horses will be in place. The march to the north was also put on the road.

Now, the 5,000-strong troops, under the leadership of Koji's cronies, are training in formation against the sun on the school ground.

Yuan Mai was not optimistic about these generals under Liyi, but he had no talents available in his own hands, so he had to temporarily let Liyi's people train soldiers.

Tian Feng lay on the map and pointed out the marching route to Yuan Mai: "Daijun is the gateway to Youzhou, guarding the west gate of Yijing, the situation is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the south is surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, so it is impossible to march at all." Therefore, after consulting with General Koji, I decided to take this route, but I wonder what the prison army thinks. ”

Tian Feng spoke, and pointed out the route to Yuan Mai, which was from Yecheng to the north, through Handan, Zhao and then to Changshan County, and then turned westward, through Jingjing, Shouyang to Dingxiang direction, and finally through Yanmen, into Youzhou, and the soldiers reached the county seat of Daixian County.

This road is farther than the direction of the party's Ben Jinyang, but the large army of 10,000 people must take the official post road, so as to avoid trampling on each other and minimize casualties. Compared to Yuan Xi's light car, he copied the party's trail and ran to Yanmen, which was at least nearly three or five hundred miles away from the road pointed out by Tian Feng.

Yuan Mai looked at the map and roughly estimated that his current location was in the area of Anyang, Henan in the previous life, and the road that Yuan Xi and Sun Han took was to go to Changzhi in Shanxi, and then turn to Taiyuan, and finally arrive at Yanmen, that is, Datong before crossing.

The road that Tian Feng is now referring to is from Anyang to the north, through Handan and Xingtai to Shijiazhuang, then to the west through Yangquan, to turn north in Taiyuan, through Xinzhou and Shuozhou to Datong, and then from Datong to the east, through Yanmen Pass into the boundary of Daijun.

Of course, it is impossible for Yuan Mai to measure the current terrain by the geography before the crossing, not to mention that the roads of the past two thousand years are worlds apart, and it is impossible to imagine the changes in the mountains and rivers caused by the rings of the years.

"General Shutong fought in the south and in the north, Mr. Yuan Hao is resourceful, and the route of the march is decided by you, there is no opinion on buying!"

Yuan Mai arched his hand to Tian Feng and said modestly. These two men are a veteran of marching and fighting, and a resourceful thinker, and the route they jointly planned should be the most scientific and safe.

"In that case, when are we going to send troops?"

Yuan Mai hesitated, but couldn't help but ask, if he had the opportunity, he should still communicate with Zhen Mi again, if he could kiss Fang Ze, or even cook raw rice and mature rice, it would be done.

Koji Yi touched the scar on his face in annoyance, this scar from the corner of his left eye to the corner of his mouth, made him look a little terrifying.

"I can't wait to pull out the camp and head north now, but these 10,000 people have not yet arrived, and I have to train for a few days until the food and grass are ready, and then I can go north."

Lu Yi spoke, thinking to himself, Am I not more anxious than you, Yuan Xi is now going to receive my troops in the starry night, and I don't know how Sun Han's affairs are doing, I can't help but put on my wings and fly to Yanmen now, if I regain control of my 20,000 troops, I won't be afraid of you Laozi, it's a big deal that I will go north to Gongsun Zhan, or cut the land in Yanmen, and the province is in danger of moving at any time!

Yuan Mai thought to himself, that's good, it seems that I can still talk to the "goddess" for a few days, and immediately got up and said, let's talk slowly, I'll go back to my camp and see how my pro-soldier team is doing.

Leaving the tent, Yuan Mai walked straight to his own personal barracks, and saw Hao Zhao forming the recruits from a distance.

From a distance, I saw that the team of 500 people was very majestic, almost all of them were young men in their twenties, and they all looked very strong.

"Yes, it is really worthy of Hao Bodao, who later refused to defend Chen Cang, and there were really two selections. Although he may not have the military talent that he later fought against Zhuge Kongming, he is a rising star, as long as the time comes, he will become a great weapon in the future! ”

Yuan Mai stood in the distance, quietly watching Hao Zhao's use of troops, to see how he organized these five hundred people.

Hao Zhao glanced at Yuan Mai with his spare eyes, but he didn't come over to meet him immediately, but continued to give the soldiers a blind eye.

In his heart, he is now performing official duties, not as casual as yesterday when he was eating, as a general, you must have a rule, you can't be a square circle without rules, otherwise, how to lead the troops.

Hao Zhao divided the five hundred people into five tuns, each with 100 people, and the supreme commander was the tun chief; Each tun is divided into two teams, each team of fifty people, and the commander calls the team rate; Each team has five tithes, ten people per tithe, and the leader is called the chief; For every tithe, the commander manages four soldiers.

It took about an hour for Hao Zhao to prepare a team of 500 people, and appointed commanders at all levels, and then led five tun chiefs to visit Yuan Mai.

Yuan Mai waited too long, and at the moment he was sitting cross-legged under a willow tree, watching Hao Zhao's performance.

Hao Zhao came to Yuan Mai with five tun chiefs and bowed: "The last general has come to meet the general and come to ask you for his guilt!" ”

In front of the soldiers, Hao Zhao still felt that it was more appropriate to call Yuan Mai "general" than "son", so that he was his subordinate general rather than a general.

"Oh, where did Bo Dao start with this, what are you guilty of?"

Yuan Mai joked with a smile, while looking at the five tun chiefs behind Hao Zhao, and after scanning around, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, none of them looked like people with great skills.

"Isn't it rude for the last general to see you a long time ago, but he didn't come to pay homage to you, so you sit here? It wasn't until now that the soldiers were arranged, and they came to see the general, shouldn't they be guilty? Hao Zhao bent over and insisted on his wrong position.

Yuan Mai laughed when he heard this, waved his hand, and said, "Since Bo Daofei insists on saying this, I will tell you a story......

At the moment, under the shade of the willow tree, Yuan Mai talked eloquently, and told Hao Zhao and the five tun chiefs the story of Yu Ban, telling the story of Cao Ying's defeat of the division and the water, and Yu Ban not only came to see Cao Ying, but ordered his subordinates to wait for the battle, disperse the Qingzhou soldiers, and finally turned defeat into victory and repelled Zhang Xiu's story.

"Huh...... Hao Bodao: What you did just now is quite forbidden, what is the crime? I should credit you for your credit, and your achievements in the future will not be under the forbidden. ”

Yuan Mai crossed his legs, half complimenting and half seriously praising Hao Zhao.

In this year, the news is very closed, but it is not like later, there is the Internet, and there is the media or something, Yu Ban's story, Hao Zhao really hasn't heard of it, and at this moment, listening to Yuan Mai compare himself with Yu Ban, he is very happy.

"General, what you said is a tormenting general, I heard that Yu Wenze is one of the few generals under Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who can take charge of himself and command thousands of troops, how dare I compare with him."

Now Hao Zhao still has a mentality of looking up to famous generals such as Ban and Cao Ren, and uses these famous generals as idols. After listening to Yuan Mai's words, although he was happy in his heart, he didn't dare to really compare himself with Yu Ban, and he was very humble at the moment to admit the gap.

Yuan Mai waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "That's their opportunity, if the time comes, your Hao Bodao's achievements will not be under them." Tell me about your newly appointed chiefs! ”

Hao Zhao nodded, and said silently in his heart, I hope that I, Hao Zhao, will also have a great time to show his strength, when my husband is alive, when he gallops on the battlefield and becomes famous, even if it is a horse leather shroud, it is not a pity!
