At this time, suddenly there were soldiers in the camp singing the song of Eile, hooking shoulders and walking on their backs, Yang Tingfeng coughed, Chen Liang understood, turned around and left, and passed a few henchmen to the Chinese army's big tent.

Yang Tingfeng waved his hand, beckoned the few soldiers, bowed his head and whispered, and gave a few orders, and those people got the order and left in a hurry.

Walking into the tent, Yang Tingfeng lit five cow dung lamps, but they were still dim.

Not long after, Lao Liangtou, Shi Wansui, Xiao Wolf, and Chen Liang also entered the tent one after another, sitting cross-legged around the cow lamp, all of whom were people Yang Tingfeng could really trust.

The crowd was silent, and the atmosphere in the tent was very heavy.

After a while, Yang Tingfeng said slowly: "Brothers, on the road just now, Brother Chen Liang, I will accurately convey my meaning to you." ”

Everyone nodded to themselves, sweating profusely, and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, Lao Liangtou came out and said: "Tingfeng, you have to think about it, this is an extraordinary move, not only about your lives, but also about the face of the border army of the imperial court!" Once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, no matter how anxious you are, you must be more cautious. ”

Shi Wansui listened very carefully, and when Lao Liang finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Uncle Liang is too worried, we are in armor and camping, stationed in the mountainous area of Wusheling Mountains, which is different from the desert plain area with no shelter, and the terrain is very complicated; In addition, we have two lookouts, which have the advantage of a wide field of vision, as well as the dangers of mountains and rivers, as long as we plan properly, we will be able to succeed in a war. ”

Lao Liangtou shook his head and said, "Brother Shi, don't get me wrong, what I said about caution is that the preparation needs to be very sufficient, and I didn't say that I was against plundering the merchants of the Western Regions. At present, our family foundation is not much, relying on the first military salary provided by the marshal's mansion, once it is broken, we will immediately face the danger of mutiny, so now, we must plan early and take precautions! ”

Shi Wanzai nodded, expressing his approval.

Xiao Wolf admired the name of Lao Liangtou for a long time, listened to his thorough explanation, secretly admired it in his heart, bowed slightly on the ground and asked: "Liangtou, can't you let Brother Yang ask for military salary from the Shuai Mansion next month?" ”

Lao Liangtou coughed and said with a smile: "Do you still want military salaries?" It's almost like dreaming. According to my estimates, most of the military salary received by Thunder Wind this time was also paid by the old marshal out of his own pocket and given to us, and he also had many difficulties, the war was approaching, and he had to buy his generals and expand his armaments, how could he have the money to fight? Last year, there was a locust plague and drought, and the people had no food to eat....... He himself is stretched. ”

Yang Tingfeng groaned slightly, and said, "Liang Tou is very reasonable!" There is a saying in the art of war: 'Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.' Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, the school is calculated, and the feelings are asked, one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. The Taoist, so that the people and the superior agree, can die with it, can live with it, and is not in danger; Heaven, yin and yang, cold and heat, and time system; The land is far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, dead and alive; generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, strictness; The law, the bend system, the official way, and the main use. All these five will be unheard, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win. It's not all right, but it makes sense. This ambush of merchants from the Western Regions can also be regarded as a war in another sense! But it is necessary to think carefully and look for an opportunity to succeed in the chaos. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Yang Tingfeng said to Chen Liang again: "Now, how much silver do we have left?" ”

Chen Liang said: "After counting just now, there are still about fifty-four taels. ”

Yang Tingfeng said: "Take another thirty taels to me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the tent for a while.

Chen Liang wanted to speak and stopped, but Yang Tingfeng saw it and asked again: "What do you want to ask, say it!" ”

When Chen Liang heard this, he knew that the stakes were high, and said categorically: "No! With this little bit of silver, it is still necessary to maintain the daily expenses of the camp, and it is impossible to move! ”

Yang Tingfeng shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, 'under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and if the reward and punishment are clear, the plan will be successful' In this operation, I intend to let Liang Tou, Brother Xiao, and Brother Shi each bring their own soldiers to go with me, half of this silver will be given to the fifteen brothers, and half of it, I am going to ask the old aconitum in the ranch to rent twenty fast horses...... And...... Moreover, I also have to choose a Xianbei commander to be a translation guide and stabilize the morale of the army.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to Yang Tingfeng.

Shi Wansui asked: "Brother Yang, isn't that newcomer He Ruobi?" ”

Yang Tingfeng smiled and said, "He? How? This one, he just came to join me, I don't trust him, besides, he is too young, too sharp, difficult to hold, easy to do bad things! Third, his qualifications are too shallow, everyone is not convinced, and the command is not moving. ”

He spoke eloquently, and for a while, everyone was talking.

After discussing for a long time, Yang Tingfeng coughed suddenly, and the tent was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at each other.

Yang Tingfeng suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, this armored camp is formed by a large number of Xianbei people, and it has always been xenophobic. Mo said that he was a Han lieutenant, even an ordinary Xianbei lieutenant, and he couldn't let them completely obey. However, they admire the strong and are also very righteous. Once they are subdued by their ability, another Xianbei uncle with seniority, great military achievements, and high prestige can completely control them.

Hearing this, Shi Wansui's heart moved, and he recommended loudly: "According to what Brother Yang said, the only candidate for that person is Bo Xi Zhezhe, this person is the one with the oldest, the greatest military achievements, and the highest prestige among the four uncles of the Zhangying. ”

He recommended Bo Xi Zhezhe, and he couldn't help but say that he had no selfish intentions, but there was still no sound in the account, and everyone didn't seem to agree.

Yang Tingfeng's eyes were blazing, and he looked around at Shi Wansui and said: "Although this person has great achievements in war and has a lot of qualifications, he is brave and strategic, and he is just a horseman." Back then, the arrogant Cao had the courage of an overlord and the invincible horse lance, but after all, he was just a reckless soldier with courage and no strategy. And how is he, Bo Xi Zhezhe, more arrogant than Cao Gao? This robbery is like a war, not only to be brave, but also to be resourceful. He, no! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, Lao Liang's sword eyebrows were twisted, and he suddenly said: "Thunder Wind is right!" I agree with him! ”

Shi Wansui pondered for a moment, felt reasonable, and then bowed his hand and said no more.

Yang Tingfeng said slowly: "This person, not only must he be brave and strategic, but his military qualifications must also be obedient to Xianbei people, and the most important thing is that he has a natural sense of smell for the direction of the battlefield situation!" In case of danger, it can make everyone get out in time! ”

"Who?" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't remember that there is this person in the camp.

In a blink of an eye, there seemed to be footsteps at the door, and Yang Tingfeng said loudly to the outside of the account: "You, come in!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall Xianbei uncle with handsome facial features walked in.

He is a "white captive", that is, a white Xianbei race, with snow-white skin, just like a woman.

When everyone saw him come in, they all looked sideways, it was Mu Yunmo.

Yang Tingfeng leaned at him, nodded and said, "You, sit next to Chen Liang." ”

Mu Yunmo saluted, and the corners of his eyes also glanced around, and at a glance, they were all Yang Tingfeng's henchmen, but He Ruobi was missing, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

However, he was inconvenient to ask, so he came to Chen Liang's side and sat down cross-legged......
