Inside the military tent.

Qin Huaidao took in everyone's expressions, the internal healthy competition is a good thing, and he didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Dingfang, after arriving at the place, cultivate farming, plant trees, allocate houses, build schools, and eliminate bandits, the task is heavy, but what are the difficulties?" ”

Su Dingfang thought about it seriously and said: "There are too many Turkic prisoners, even if I allocate an extra thousand people, I can only control more than 3,000 people, and the Turks are the mainstay, of which 2,000 people have just surrendered, the people's hearts are uncertain, the hidden dangers are too heavy, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of them." ”

Qin Huaidao nodded knowingly, and took a group of soldiers to deal with the prisoners, lacking deterrence, something must have happened after a long time, thought about it, and looked at Li Dejian: "Give the captured Tang people to Su Dingfang, too many Turkic soldiers are indeed a hidden danger, in addition, Luo Ying sent a hundred people to assist for a month." ”

"Obey." Li Dejian and Luo Ying hurriedly agreed.

Su Dingfang was overjoyed, he had seen the combat effectiveness of the special combat regiment with his own eyes, with a hundred people to protect him, many things would be easier to do, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Thank you, young master, you need someone to teach after the academy is built, you see?" ”

Qin Huaidao looked at Li Dejian.

Li Dejian said knowingly: "I'll pick a few for you when I go back, it's not a big problem." ”

"Then there will be no more difficulties, please rest assured, the fixed side will definitely guard with his life, ensure that the rear is foolproof, if there is a mistake, the fixed side is willing to come to see it." Su Dingfang was relieved and said solemnly.

Qin Huaidao nodded, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You are all Huaidao's life and death brothers, don't envy Dingfang, although you are still the head of the regiment, it won't take long for you to lead an army alone, in view of the complicated affairs of the General Staff, Li Dejian is difficult to support alone, I intend to separate the baggage regiment and promote it to the baggage division, who wants to be the commander of this division?" ”

The division commander not only means a high military rank, but also means a large number of soldiers.

But the baggage is considered a second-line army, which is a bit of a chicken rib for the belligerents.

Everyone was silent, and no one answered.

Qin Huaidao knew that this would be the case, so he didn't name him directly, so as not to cause a gap, and waited patiently.

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Cheng Chuliang didn't plan to take it, but when he saw his brother Cheng Chumo handing over a look, he understood, but he was a little unhappy, why did he let himself take a back seat and rush into battle to kill the enemy?

was hesitating, Cheng Chuliang saw Cheng Chu silently pointing at himself, and reluctantly reacted, there is a brother who rushes into battle to kill the enemy, himself, the two brothers can't be on the front line, in case there is a good guy, the team can be wiped out, it's not that there is no fight, it's just a few, someone has to do it, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Chuliang said, "Brother Qin, I'll come." ”

"Okay, then you can come."

Qin Huaidao also belongs to Cheng Chuliang, after all, the two brothers are fighting on the front line, in case there is a good guy who can't explain himself, and Cheng Chuliang's personality is relatively stable, his ability is also good, and he is credible, and said with a smile: "There are more than 2,000 people in the baggage regiment, and the more than 1,000 people assigned to Li Dejian will also be handed over to you, plus what you carry, almost the strength of a division, and the baggage will be handed over to you." ”

The baggage is responsible for the construction of equipment, the maintenance of weapons, the escort of materials, storage and other matters, which is also an important task in the army, and cannot be appointed by non-credible people.

"Brother Qin, rest assured, since you have received this errand, you will be guaranteed to be foolproof." Cheng Chuliang said solemnly.

Qin Huaidao nodded, smiled, pointed to the Putao tribe on the map and continued: "This is the end of the matter in the army, next to the war, the Putao tribe must be strictly defended, and the hard attack will definitely not work, it must be outwitted, the staff will come up with a combat plan as soon as possible, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem, give me a day." Li Dejian said solemnly.

In fact, Qin Huaidao already had a plan in his heart, but since the General Staff Department was established, he had to follow the rules, let everyone realize the importance and role of the General Staff, nodded in agreement, and looked at Li Jingren, who was in charge of intelligence.

Li Jingren hurriedly said: "The news of the confession has been transmitted back to Qinjiazhuang, and a large number of materials needed for the battle will be transported in fifteen days at most, in addition, there is news from Chang'an, the saint is seriously ill, and the king of Jin is in charge of the country, and the reason is unknown." ”

"Sick?"

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, when Li Jiancheng rebelled in the north, Li Er went to quell the chaos, was ambushed and hit by an arrow, although the injury recovered, but the body collapsed, but he didn't expect to fall ill again, is the old injury recurring, or ......

Suddenly, Qin Huaidao remembered that Li Jing had mentioned that Li Erzhong secretly used Fang Shi to make alchemy, and wanted to live forever, could it be that he had taken drugs and damaged his body?

"It's better to be sick, it's better to die of illness." An excited voice remembered that it was Luo Tong.

was confined to his home for several years, and Luo Tong hated Li Er.

All present are brothers of life and death, no one will tell the informant, and Luo Tong is not afraid, otherwise he would not have disobeyed the holy decree and walked out of the house and followed Qin Huaidao to the west to rescue people.

"Any other news?" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Jingren.

Li Jingren hurriedly said: "My brother originally brought someone to help, and I sent a message to stay in Suzhou, responsible for news relay, and established a more complete carrier pigeon transmission network, the speed of message transmission is accelerated, and you can find anything to pass at any time."

I. ”

"Brother, pass a message to the old man for me, just say that I am very good and will not go for the time being." Fang Yiai said with a smile.

"Yes, bring your daughter-in-law and children back together, I heard that the princess of the end of the country is very beautiful, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu to catch you and warm the quilt?" Luo Tong joked with a smile.

"I fell in love with me and caught it myself, don't bother you, in case you stay for your own use and give Luo Zhang a younger brother, wouldn't I be happy in vain." Fang Yiai said with a smile.

"Stinky boy, dare you make fun of me?" Luo Tong scolded with a smile.

"I think it's okay, the captives mentioned it during the previous interrogation, what is it and the pearl of the end, the white flowers of the grassland are all dark, it is estimated that the appearance is not bad, which of you will be caught." Qin Huaidao married Dao.

"Hahaha!"

The sound of laughter resounded through the military tent, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

After the joke, everyone dispersed.

Qin Huaidao stayed in the military tent, staring at the map, unblinking, full of worries.

I don't know how long it will take, Luo Ying hurriedly came in, sat down next to him, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, a hundred people have been assigned to Su Dingfang." ”

"Did Su Dingfang take someone away?"

"It's almost cleaned up, at most in a quarter of an hour, and in addition, the people who supervise the Putao tribe have sent news that they have been on strict guard since last night, and they have not slept all night, and they have no chance at all."

"No, here's your chance." Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up when he heard that he had not slept all night.

Luo Ying was a little stunned, and looked at Qin Huaidao steadily.

Qin Huaidao was too lazy to explain, but Luo Ying led the most powerful and trusted special operations group, and he wanted to focus on training, and explained: "If you don't sleep all night, how long can you last?" ”

"No problem for two or three days." Luo Ying said confidently.

"You are a person who practices martial arts, and it will definitely be fine for two or three days, but what about ordinary people?"

"Two nights should be fine, right?"

"No, if you don't sleep overnight, you will definitely not be energetic the next day, if you still don't sleep during the day the next day, you will definitely not be able to bear it the next night, that is, tonight, tonight is a great opportunity for a sneak attack, I didn't expect a threat at the beginning, the Putao tribe actually took it seriously, great." Qin Huaidao explained, excited.

Luo Ying is not stupid, but he is inexperienced and lacks people to point to him, so he reacted reluctantly and said excitedly: "It makes sense, no wonder Uncle threatened to sneak attack yesterday, it turned out to be preparing for tonight, strategizing, and deciding the outcome with one word, and everyone in the art of war is nothing more than that." ”

"Don't be a sycophant, go and notify Li Dejian to come over."

"Okay." Luo Ying hurriedly went.

"Newspaper—"

Soon, a man from the guard battalion came in, hugged his fists and said: "Young master, the person in charge of monitoring the Dianhe tribe sent a message from the flying pigeon, saying that the Dianhe tribe sent five thousand cavalry towards our army, and it is expected to arrive in about two hours." ”

"Dianhe, five thousand cavalry?"

A trace of killing intent flashed in Qin Huaidao's eyes, and he was about to harvest the peach, when Dianhe jumped out to make trouble, this timing was too uncomfortable, a wave of anger surged into his heart, and he said coldly: "Then clean them up first, pass the order, and let a few regiment commanders and division commanders come over to discuss military affairs, and act quickly." ”

"Obey!" The other party said yes and hurried away.

Not long after, everyone came over one after another, after learning the information, they were ready to do a big job, five thousand cavalry only, and did not take it to heart, Luo Tong rushed to say: "Brother, the army heard that the family moved to Loulan, not only not angry, but very cooperative, everyone thinks that this is better, less worries, the military heart is available, the Dianhe Department came to 5,000 people, I will take people up, a charge to solve all of them." ”

"That's right, those Turks are the same as expected, I heard that the family went to Loulan, and they could also cultivate agriculture and study for free, they were very happy, we still underestimated the Turkic people's desire to go to school, it makes sense to think about it, the Turks are not educated, and they have always admired the etiquette of the Central Plains, this method is good." Cheng Chumo also agreed.

"It's a good thing that the military heart is available, let's talk about how to fight the Dianhe Department?"

Qin Huaidao interrupted and introduced everyone to the topic.
