"Two elder brothers, my brother has given an order, telling our whole army to return to the cottage!" I saw a big man with red eyes in a hurry with Wang Lun's hand, and Pegasus caught up with Xu Ning and Hao Siwen, who were catching up with the patrolling outside.

The two of them were analyzing the reason for the enemy's retreat at this time, and suddenly heard Deng Fei's report, and they both stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”

Deng Fei couldn't wipe his sweat, and handed the edict to Xu Ning first, and then said: "Brother Lu Fang, who heard the order, said that the cottage received several carrier pigeons, all of which were delivered back from different channels, this time Zhang Yinglei really retreated, and now the cavalry has retreated to the realm of Bozhou!" ”

At this time, Yunzhou has become a world of scouts and spies, not to mention Yizhou, that is, Liangshan, there are Zhu Gui's hotel system, Diting camp and horse battalion scouts flooding this land, not to mention the sporadic people who came to repay their kindness, spontaneously came to report the intelligence of the official army.

"Since this brigade has arrived in Bozhou, even if it is to make a comeback, we have already gone up the mountain, so we will not accompany it! Teacher Xu, let's retreat if we want to! Hao Siwen looked at Xu Ning and asked. After the three battalions plus the reserve army were broken this time, Wang Lun designated Xu Ning as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Hao Siwen as the counselor of the military aircraft, and Qin Ming and Deng Fei were all controlled by him.

"Let's go! Although there were no big battles along the way, they only attacked each other, but I am afraid that the brothers are also tired, and it is time to go back and rest! Xu Ning nodded, and Hao Siwen each instructed his henchmen to go back and send the order back to the mountain.

The army was patrolling the field, and the assembly was very rapid, and it did not take much effort to turn the horse's head with their respective commanders. Jogging towards the edge of the water.

Seeing that this battle was about to end, Hao Siwen had a lot of experience in his heart, and he wanted to ask Xu Ning for advice and sharing, but he was not in a hurry to return to the camp, but only discussed with Xu Ning while walking on the horse, at this time, a BMW came in front of him, and a general was sitting on it.

Xu Ning and Hao Siwen met this person. Puzzled glances at each other. I saw Xu Ning urging the horse to catch up and said, "Manager Qin, is there another brother's order?" ”

Qin Ming jerked the reins of the horse, reined in the horse and turned, after a beautiful sharp turn. and Xu Ning go hand in hand. Then he said, "No." It's me who has something to ask you! ”

When Xu Ning saw this, he hurriedly said, "Manager Qin, please speak!" "Qin Ming's nature is as fierce as fire, and he only grabs the most difficult bones to gnaw on the battlefield. He never competed for fame and fortune, and was deeply respected by other leaders of the Ma Army, and Xu Ning was no exception.

"I heard that after going up the mountain, my brother is going to expand our Ma army, is it true?" Qin Ming didn't spare the circle, and bluntly expressed the doubts in his heart. The brother in front of him is the founder of the Liangshan Po Ma Army, and it is impossible for him not to smell the wind in advance about the major events of the Ma Army's changes.

At this time, Hao Siwen and Deng Fei also urged them to step forward, Xu Ning shook his head and smiled, signaling the four of them to retreat to the side of the road and let the army go first.

"My brother mentioned it to me that day, he does have this idea, and the war horses we captured this time can definitely guarantee our expansion of the army, but the problem is coming, how much and how?" Xu Ning sighed.

"Isn't there 3,000 reserve troops, and we will be divided into a few battalions, won't it be expanded?" Qin Ming slammed the stick to the ground and said loudly.

Xu Ning shook his head and smiled, this thunderbolt is really only about fighting, and ignoring everything else, where is there still 3,000 reserve troops now, and the 1,000 people in the cottage are only afraid that they will all be made up by Lu Junyi.

"Now there are only 2,000 people left in the reserve army, and the 1,000 people in the cottage are organized into the seventh battalion of the horse army, which will be the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, and the remaining 2,000 people will all be used to supplement the shortage of Lin Jiaotou and their battalions, I'm afraid it is not enough, what else can we do to expand the army?" Xu Ning shook his head and said to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this, the thoughts in his heart were gone, and he complained a little: "Now it's hard not to lack horses, but to lack people!" Why don't the reserve army train more men and horses! ”

Xu Ning was in charge of the Ma Army's reserve army, and when he saw it, he shook his head and smiled, but he didn't go to his heart, but he heard his deputy Deng Fei say: "My brother, at that time, the navy army was greatly expanded, and the garrison couldn't even get together the men and horses guarding the pass, so it's good that we can have 3,000 people!" Besides, if there are more people, even Teacher Xu and the little brother can't take care of it! ”

"This ......" Qin Ming patted his head when he saw it, and said, "It's me who is in a hurry, and I will compensate you two!" ”

"It's all my own brothers, who sees whom?" Xu Ning shook his head and said: "None of us are in a hurry, but it's a pity that this is the case, and we can't change people, so we have to go back first to see what good way my brother has."

Qin Ming nodded, at this time, it is really a bit difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, this time even the most difficult horses have been brought back, but it is difficult to make it difficult on weekdays to be the most lacking people, at the beginning, there were several people with one horse, but I am afraid that it will soon become a grand occasion for one person to ride several horses. Qin Ming sighed, glanced back at the back, and suddenly said:

"I already knew Zhang Yinglei this guy, but I didn't know that this guy was so cunning in the battle, and it was the same as the Liao people's tactics. Along the way, Lao Tzu wants to die! Fortunately, this donkey day ran away, otherwise I would have been asked to catch one or two thousand cavalry from him, and my brother would have rebelled, but it would not have solved the big problem! ”

Xu Ning glanced at Hao Siwen who was smiling, and said in his heart that among the three battalions, it was Hao Siwen who was most suitable for Zhang Yinglei's tactics, and from time to time he retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and even Zhang Yinglei couldn't guard against it. It seems that in the recklessness, there is really a great talent, Hao Siwen has no experience in the army, and he has led the army for less than a year, and he can have such an achievement, he is really a genius, worthy of being on the same level as Tang Bin and Guan Sheng, and is called the "Three Heroes of Pudong".

"You can't fight them hard! Their 5,000 men and horses are the elite selected from the 20 battalions of the horse army, and of our 5,000 people, 2,000 of whom have never been on the battlefield before, can fight with our three battalions. In addition, the four battalions of men and horses we had suffered too much losses after the previous break, and my brother didn't want to see us make senseless sacrifices, so he forced them away! Xu Ning said with a smile.

"Forced away?" Deng Fei was stunned for a moment and lost his voice. He also thought that Zhang Yinglei couldn't take any advantage, so he withdrew, not wanting that there were other reasons.

Seeing that Qin Ming was also looking at him with great interest, Xu Ning explained with a smile: "Isn't this all the credit of Brother Zhu Gui? After getting the order of Wang Lun's brother, the Zhu Gui brothers mobilized all their strength and sent our Liangshan's notice to the mansion of the seven magistrates of Yunzhou plus one governor, and there was only one line on the letter, which read: 'Those who dare to feed Zhang Yinglei with a grain of rice, Liangshan will raise the whole village and compete to witness the dignity of the nobles!'" ’”

"Why do you want to send him to his mansion? And if it were to be affixed to the gates of the city, so that the people might see it, wouldn't it be better? Deng Fei was puzzled.

"If it is made public, these guys are still afraid that they will be said to be coerced by Liangshan, and they will do things half-heartedly, and they may even break the jar. Let's not expose the matter, just let them know in their hearts, they will definitely do everything they can to perfunctory Zhang Yinglei, Zhang Yinglei has 5,000 horse troops, people eat horses and chew, how much grain and grass do they have to spend a day? It has been spent so long with us, and the grain and grass he brought have already been exhausted, if the army can't get supplies in Yunzhou, how long will he consume? Hao Siwen said with a smile.

"Wonderful! Secretly driving these court officials to perfunctory Zhang Yinglei is much more effective than threatening them on the surface! "Qin Ming is also a person from the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is immediately understood by Hao Siwen. I saw him think about it, and suddenly said: "No, no, if you can't get food and grass supplements in the state and county, Zhang Yinglei sent troops to collect grain among the people, but didn't he harm the people?" ”

"My brother said, tell them to only levy and levy as much grain as they want, and we Liangshan will compensate the people! Look at these people dressed in official skins, do you know how much you want to lose the old Zhao family! Hao Siwen sneered.

Qin Ming gasped, stretched out his thumb and said, "I'm convinced!" ”

"Does anyone in the government subsidize the food of the officers and soldiers? Did Zhang Yinglei collect grain privately? Deng Fei was a little confused when he heard it.

"I don't know what to say about this yet, and it will take time to confirm it, so at the beginning, it is not easy to judge whether Zhang Yinglei is really retiring or falsely retiring. Anyway, we didn't plan to eat this guy in one bite this time! Xu Ning replied.

"In this way, my brother has thought of every step, and he is so calculating! Zhang Yinglei was forced to act according to our ideas, no matter which step he takes, it is a mistake! Hao Siwen sighed.

"That is, I don't ask when this bird is over, for the sake of this Yunzhou boundary, who is the lord and who is the guest!" Qin Ming laughed loudly and shouted.

After Hao Siwen finished speaking, a big laugh sounded among the four people, and seeing that the team had also rushed to the front, the four of them urged the war horses to go forward side by side, walked for more than an hour, and finally came to the assembly site on the north bank of Shuibo.

The cottage sailors had already transported all the people up the mountain during the day yesterday, and at night these sailors did not stop, and transported most of the baggage up the mountain. After most of the daytime today, the shore is empty. It is much more comfortable than the previous situation of crowded people and cars being car-by-car.

At this time, the big ship carrying the soldiers of the Perak battalion and the reserve army of the two thousand horse army had already sailed towards Liangshan, and there was no one to see on the shore, but the empty ships of these many sailors were moored by the lake, Xu Ning and Hao Siwen both ordered their subordinates to board the boat quickly, Qin Ming and Deng Fei were idle, standing aside, at this time Deng Fei could not see Huang Xin's figure everywhere, and joked to Qin Ming: "I'm afraid that the apprentice can't wait, so go up the mountain to drink first!" ”

Before Qin Ming could speak, he saw a group of people coming out of the shore hotel at this time, and Huang Xin was in the middle of it, shouting loudly: "Master, my brother has been waiting here for a long time, why is the army coming so slowly?" ”

Qin Ming and Deng Fei glanced at each other, and they all flew forward, and even Xu Ning and Hao Siwen came over to see, and the four of them said: "Brother goes up the mountain first, why wait for the younger brothers here!" ”

"I want to see you last to get on the ship alone, and I want to see the battle of our Daimyo Mansion end ...... with my own eyes" (to be continued......)
