Chapter 200: Life in the Big Camp

At this time, in Dayong's tent, Zhao Hu was still asleep and was discussing with his subordinates. They had just learned the news of Lan Jing'an's arrival at the camp in Jizhou.

Zhao Hu and the others all knew that Lan Jing'an was not an ordinary woman, not to mention her arrival, it was likely that for Xiao Qingyun, it was equivalent to adding another fierce general. The most important thing is that the influence of her great command is too great, and if she can't get her tricks to fool people, it can really affect the momentum of the soldiers.

For war, the general is strategic, and the small soldiers are brave. Therefore, in all dynasties, once the emperor personally conquered, the impact was huge. Now that Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an, the two most important figures in the cadre army, are here, the appeal to the cadre army is undoubtedly unprecedented, which makes Zhao Hu's pressure even greater.

But there are losses and gains. Similarly, for Zhao Hu, this is also a rare opportunity, if he can defeat Xiao Qingyun this time, maybe he can destroy Lan Jing'an together. Then there will be no hope for the cadres and the army, and they can only scatter.

Zhao Hu planned to take advantage of the fact that the cadres were busy drinking and celebrating in the past two days, and came by surprise, hoping to gain something. He sent his subordinate general Meng Ling into battle in person, led an army of 50,000, and attacked the Chinese army at night.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyun was guarding against him. That night, Xiao Qingyun personally sat in the town and commanded the battle against Meng Ling. Lan Jing'an heard the movement and also went to the Chinese military tent. However, she had just arrived in Jizhou, and she was still mainly familiar with observation, she stood quietly on the side, watching Xiao Qingyun dispatch troops, and silently kept the opponent's formation and tactics in mind.

Meng Ling saw that the Chinese army was not panicked, and the left and right armies came to attack, so he hurriedly led people to retreat. The two sides had already fought too many times, so when Xiao Qingyun saw Meng Ling withdraw from the giant deer, he knew that it would be useless to chase after him again. Only let people reorganize the formation and return to the camp again to garrison.

A mobilization of tens of thousands of people is a big move, and even if it is a small battle, it takes two days to completely subside.

After two days of observation, Lan Jing'an had a clearer idea of the situation in Jizhou. In particular, I also had a practical experience of Meng Ling's use of soldiers. At the same time, she saw with her own eyes how Brother Qingyun arranged the troops, which made her feel very excited.

In the following ten days, no matter where Xiao Qingyun went, she took Lan Jing'an with her to help her get familiar with the situation here as soon as possible. Because of his experience in Jingzhou, Lan Jing'an was most familiar with sieges. However, the large-scale formation in the wilderness was limited to what he had learned from the military books, and he had not seen it in person, let alone actually practiced it. In order to teach her, Xiao Qingyun personally took her to deduce on the sand table and map every day.

Shen Rongzhi also taught her, telling her all the strategies and mistakes used by both sides since Xiao Qingyun started the army. In particular, his character portrayal of Zhao Hu and others gave Lan Jingan a different understanding of their way of dominating.

And Bai Qingfeng was not idle, not only analyzed the situation of the military needs to Lan Jing'an, but even took her to go around the grain transportation road in person.

During this time, the two sides still had constant friction, but neither of them launched a major battle. And Li Xie finally moved out of the camp on August 27, which made Lan Jing'an completely relieved.

In the golden autumn of September, the team that was supposed to escort Lan Jing'an to the north finally arrived. In this trip, the most important person is Feng Yan. Under Lan Jing'an's instructions, Feng Yan lived in Quzhou together in the company of Yunniang, the maidservant of the Xiangyang General's Mansion, and settled next door to Li Xie.

Now, Lan Jing'an has completely entered the command circle of the Jizhou cadre army, but she is not specifically responsible for which army. Her more responsibilities were to discuss offensive and defensive strategies with Shen Rongzhi, or to accompany Xiao Qingyun to calculate various formations against Zhao Hu.

After getting along for a period of time, she and the generals of the cadre army gradually became familiar with each other.

Lan Jing'an occasionally took advantage of the absence of outsiders, and would also tease Shen Rongzhi verbally in front of Xiao Qingyun. In case Shen Rongzhi wins the fight, she will ask Xiao Qingyun for help without face or skin. Shen Rong's teeth itched, but he was helpless.

Shen Rongzhi once even said to Xiao Qingyun in private: "Fortunately, you plan to marry her, otherwise it will be a disaster to let her wander outside every day." I don't know how you lived in Baiyuguan at the beginning, it's really hard for you. As a result, Bai Qingfeng heard this and laughed for a long time. said that Shen Rongzhi is a chess opponent who will meet a good talent, why don't you know how to cherish it.

But no matter what, with the jokes of several people, Lan Jing'an and Shen Rongzhi became much closer. Everyone in the army knew that in addition to the marshal and Lord Bai, the relationship between the great secretary and Shen Junshi was also very good.

Lan Jing'an mentioned the restoration of the country several times, but Xiao Qingyun had prevaricated her on the pretext that she had only come to Jizhou and wanted to be familiar with military affairs first. Later, Lan Jing'an obviously felt that something was wrong. However, under the persuasion of Bai Qingfeng and Shen Rongzhi, she continued to choose to wait and wait.

Until Feng Yan's arrival, Lan Jing'an felt that he really couldn't wait any longer, and he must put this matter on the agenda. Xiao Qingyun and the three of them couldn't, and they were afraid that everyone would know about Xie Weining's threat to Lan Jing'an, so they had to take Feng Yan to the camp every once in a while to discuss the restoration of the country.

However, because Feng Yan completely adheres to the ancient precepts of the order, she is extremely opposed to the marriage of Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an. At this point, Xiao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. Except for Lan Jing'an, who was depressed, everyone else put aside the marriage of the two of them and discussed other matters related to the restoration of the country in full swing.

What made Lan Jing'an even more uncomfortable was that Li Xie took the opportunity of Feng Yan to go to the camp and always had to come with him. She famously visited her father and brother, but she went to Xiao Qingyun's big tent with soup and water many times.

In front of Zheng Rong's face, Xiao Qingyun didn't want to drive her out directly. Although Li Xie was always asked to leave his things and leave, whenever Li Xie came out, he would go to the camp tent of Lan Jing'an next door to take a turn. Lan Jing'an felt like she was being demonstrated, and even she began to think that Xiao Qingyun might also be interested in Li Xie.

And the more angry Lan Jing'an was, the more he refused to tell Xiao Qingyun about Li Xie. Xiao Qingyun saw that she was willing to see Li Xie every time, and thought that Ahri would no longer be hostile to her since Li Xie moved out, and the two might even become friends. For the sake of Ahri, Xiao Qingyun was even more difficult to speak coldly to Li Xie.

Fortunately, the urgency of the war made Lan Jingan not have much mind to immerse himself in his little love. It's now mid-September, and the new grain has come down. If the Dayong grain and grass cannot be intercepted at this time, once the grain and grass reach Julu, then unless the cadres can make a big move this winter, it is unlikely that the giant deer will be captured before the beginning of spring.

At present, Zhao Hu's side has a wide range of grain sources, Jizhou, Yanzhou and even Sili are all major grain-producing states, and they are all near the battlefield. The main grain and grass here of the Qianjun army came from Qingzhou, and the grain and grass in other places were too far away from the battlefield, and the cost of transporting them was not enough for the consumption on the road, so it was not worth it at all.

On the one hand, it is the power of the three states, and on the other hand, it is a single count on Qingzhou. With the two armies about the same number, there is no doubt that the need for grain and grass for the cadres is actually more urgent than that of Dayong. In the past few days, Lan Jing'an, Xiao Qingyun and others have been thinking about how to cut off Zhao Hu's food and grass every day. If you can rob the other party of grain and grass for your own use, then the odds of victory are even greater.
