Xiaotangshan is fifty miles away from Youzhou City, and it is a poor place with nothing left except hot springs. Being poor also has an advantage at some point, because because of poverty, there are not many people in the area. The Song army was on the scale of a division, and when 10,000 people ran to soak in the hot springs, they would not disturb the people.

Just feeling the dampness and heat on the skin, the Jiangnan disciples showed joy. It's good to be dry, but you're still homesick when you leave home, and that kind of thought beautifies everything in your hometown, including the climate they complained about. When you soak in the warm spring water, you will feel better.

When you get to the north, it's just a constant fight, a fight, a fight. General Li Yun presided over the Hebei war situation, and he changed the previous model of General Zheng Jie, who had to calculate everything in doubt, and he just trained the troops accordingly, and then divided the troops into smaller combat units to carry out operations in farther places. There is always a possibility of encounters with the enemy. Gone are the days when there was a plan for how to encounter the enemy.

Since the implementation of this unified army model, the number of battles of the Song army has increased dramatically, and the number of casualties has increased much in a short period of time. According to the system of the Song army, after each battle, a meeting was held to summarize. These lessons are also shared with other combat units. Listening to those tragic cases, all the troops tensed their nerves in order to survive the battle. Now I finally have the opportunity to fully relax, and everyone can soak in the hot springs, drink, eat, sing and dance, and relax the nerves that have been under great pressure.

When Division Commander Yang Tiexin found that the troops were nervous, he was nervous. When the troops relaxed, he couldn't relax. Young people love to mess around as soon as they relax, especially after eating and drinking, and their energy is even more relaxed. There have been more than a dozen fights and brawls. It's not serious, but it can't be regarded as not being seen.

The teacher and the head of the student society still have to deal with these people, and they have to hold a meeting to tell these boys that everyone must be self-disciplined and fraternal. Fights and brawls are to be archived, and this kind of record is likely to affect everyone's treatment after retirement.

Finally shocked this group of young boys, and Master Yang Tiexin found that only half of the week-long (five days + one day off) vacation was left.

Back at his residence, Master Yang soaked in the hot spring pool of his residence. It is the compound of a large Mongolian family, and it is said that the family came to live here for several months in winter. Looking at the surrounding layout, Yang Tiexin felt a familiar Jiangnan feeling. When the Mongols invaded the south, many people were taken captive, and someone in this family should have been taken captive by the Mongols......

Thinking of this, Yang Tiexin expelled his association with his wife. Even after ten years, Yang Tiexin still feels like a knife.

Relaxation days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a week's vacation is over. The army returned to Youzhou as a whole, looking at the energetic faces of the young soldiers, Yang Tiexin felt that this kind of short-term vacation had a good effect. If the Hebei War Zone becomes the Yanyun War Zone, everyone will be closer to this hot spring. It's easier to come on vacation.

After returning to Youzhou, Yang Tiexin resumed his military work. Yanyun has two roads to the north, all the way to the west, after going to Zhangjiakou and passing through the famous battlefield Yehuling, it begins to enter the grassland to fight. All the way to the east, through the pass to Liaodong.

Now Commander Li Yun hopes to be able to make a plan for the next stage of the operation. Yang Tiexin personally hopes to be able to fight to the east. There are two ways to get to Liaodong, one is by land and the other is by sea. The Bohai Sea can be seen as an inner lake, and the northeast of this inner lake is the Liaodong Peninsula, where the Song army began to cut down birch trees as materials for shipbuilding. With the steam wagon and ship, the Song army could operate in Liaodong more easily. No matter how you look at it, attacking Liaodong by water is the best choice.

"I think it's not bad to go to the grassland to fight the autumn breeze." Zhu Hongwu's view belongs to the minority. And Zhu Hongwu also has his own thoughts, "There is no difference between Liaodong going one day earlier and going one day later." But the direction of the desert is different, and our army is now inferior to the Mongol army only cavalry. Cavalry needs to be accumulated, and if we go to the desert direction at the moment, we can first accumulate the experience of cavalry. This is a matter of one day late, just one day later. ”

This somewhat masochistic attitude also has supporters, and Yang Tiexin feels that Commander Li Yun can't ignore Zhu Hongwu's views. Each faction began to organize its future course of action with its own ideas at its core. Compared with westward expansion, the plan of eastward expansion is much easier.

"The Liaodong Peninsula is full of straight women. But I don't know how the officials are going to deal with these hugs. According to our experience in Liaodong, these female straighteners have suffered greatly from muskets, and they do not dare to provoke our Song army. If you want to take out these women, you need to fight jungle warfare. This place in Liaodong is a place where there are a lot of forests, and they are particularly dense......" Yang Tiexin said as he paid attention to the reactions of the audience below. On the whole, the reaction of these people has been quite positive. Especially when it came to the means of how to eliminate Hu Lu, everyone's attention was more focused, except for Commander Li Yun.

In fact, Li Yun was also very serious before, until the guard handed him a piece of paper. Reading the things on the paper, Li Yun's attention was obviously distracted. Probably a telegram from Hangzhou.

After Yang Tiexin finished speaking, Zhu Hongwu came to the stage to speak. "About one-tenth of our current troops are cavalry. The main point of the cavalry is horses, and one horse for one person is not enough, two or even three are needed. We need to create a cavalry division. The job of this cavalry division was to fight for pasture with Hulu in the steppe. Our Arabian horses eat much more than Mongolian horses, and Mongolian horses can live by nibbling on grass. Our Arabian horses have to eat fodder ......"

Yang Tiexin listened to Zhu Hongwu's narration and slowly listened to it. In terms of how to fight Hu Lu, Zhu Hongwu also came up with his own views. That is, to compete for the grassland first, and to expand the scope of control on the grassland based on the forage that the grassland can provide. Kill and expel the Mongols as much as possible. In the process, the Great Song cavalry was strengthened.

At the end of the meeting, Li Yun called Yang Tiexin aside and asked with a straight face: "I remember that your wife is called Bao Xiweak." ”

Yang Tiexin perked up and hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

"Are those three words?" Li Yun took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yang Tiexin. After reading it, Yang Tiexin hurriedly nodded, "It's indeed these three words." You guys...... Found her? ”

"I can't say I've found it. In this way, you go with the comrades of the intelligence department. I'll let you go for two days...... and come back as soon as possible. Li Yun almost gave Yang Tiexin an indefinite vacation in the end.

At this time, Yang Tiexin only felt that his hairs stood on end, and such a statement didn't sound like a good thing. But at this time, it was no longer his turn to ask carefully, and the comrades from the intelligence department had already said: "Commander Yang, please prepare the horse." ”
