At night.

Bai Zhong returned to the camp tent and saw Ying Shu helping him deal with some military affairs, such as the transfer of grain and grass, daily consumption records, and military positions.

Chen Ping is in charge of the affairs of the entire Yanmen County, and as the future prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he is really capable and handles everything neatly and orderly.

Thinking that he had become a hands-off shopkeeper, Bai Zhong was still a little embarrassed, sat aside and hugged Ying Shu, and whispered in her ear: "It's late, are you done?" ”

"Almost!"

Ying Shu took out a few documents and said with a smile: "When you see that there is no problem, you can let people implement it." ”

"I don't have to look at the affairs handled by Shu'er, let's implement it directly."

Bai Zhong threw those documents aside, grabbed her hands and rubbed them, and said softly: "After writing so many words, are your hands tired?" ”

Feeling her husband's tenderness, Yingshu leaned back and snuggled in his arms: "Help your lover handle military affairs, you won't be tired." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, I will handle the military affairs myself, or leave them to Chen Ping."

"I can do it too!"

"I feel sorry for you."

"Beloved!"

Ying Shu turned around, and with a slight push of her hand, she pressed Bai Zhong to the ground.

The weather was cold, and as the commander, the floor of the camp was also covered with a layer of clean and soft wool, and they lay on top of the wool.

"Love, I've thought about it!"

Ying Shu said on his heart.

Bai Zhong picked her up, returned to the couch, and kissed her for a while: "Shu'er, what do you want?" ”

Ying Shuqiao's face turned crimson, and she bit Bai Zhong's lip.

Although it is a bite, it is almost the same as a kiss.

After a while, inside the camp, spring was full of joy, which was completely different from the cold winter outside.

——

Time flies.

Before you know it, it's January.

The weather is not so cold anymore, but in the north, the snow and ice have not yet melted.

Bai Zhong came to Yanmen Pass in advance, stood on the city tower and looked north, only to see that the snow on the ground was much less than some time ago, and it was a matter of time before it warmed up.

"General, the Xiongnu departments in the north are gathering soldiers and horses to collect grain and grass."

A man from the Black Ice Platform came over and said.

To go deep into the steppe and find out the enemy's traces, the scouts are not very convenient, and the ability is not enough, the people of the Black Ice Platform are just right, and they have long explored the movements of the Huns.

"The Huns are ready to go further south."

Li Xin said first.

When he was in Xiaoguan, he followed Xu Xian's side, and he dealt with the Hu people a lot, including the Huns, who knew the character of the Huns, and they were defeated before the winter, and the Huns were absolutely unwilling.

When the weather warms up, they will call back immediately.

In addition, the Huns in western Liaoxi are still waiting to meet with Yanmen Pass and encroach on the territory of Great Qin together, and they will not give up going south.

Ren Huan said: "I happened to be here to send us war exploits." ”

His words were agreed by the others, and they all laughed.

"But the Huns are not easy to fight."

Tian Zhen is also in the army, and together with Zhang Han, he is the general who has been with Bai Zhong for the longest time, but his ability is not as good as Zhang Han, and he is currently only a military marquis.

Originally, he was Bai Zhong's short soldier, but now the position of the short soldier was replaced by the first lieutenant led by Ying Shu.

Zhang Han said: "It's not easy, we only know after fighting." ”

"You train first, it's quiet for a winter, and you can't go to the battlefield without training."

Bai Zhong turned around and said, "Continue to inquire about the movements of the Xiongnu, as long as there is a trend to the south, come and tell me immediately." ”

"Yui!"

Everyone said in unison.

They all went to work according to their respective tasks.

The winter is cold, and the number of military training is relatively small, but now that the temperature is warmer, the barracks are lively again, and the sound of shouting and shouting is constantly sounding in the barracks.

Before I knew it, another seven days had passed.

The snow outside the city turned into streams and slowly flowed down to the low-lying areas.

The solid ice that hung on the city wall turned into droplets of water.

The grasslands in the north finally show a touch of spring, but the weather with melting snow is colder than when it snows.

"General, two days ago, the Huns' soldiers, horses, grain and grass were gathered, and now they should go south."

There is also a time lag in the transmission of the message of the Black Ice Station.

He returned from the steppe two days ago, so it is very likely that today's Huns are on their way south.

Bai Zhong ordered: "The whole army is assembled. ”

The soldiers of the barracks gathered on the city tower as fast as they could, and then the gate of Yanmen Pass opened, and 10,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry had begun to leave the city.

"Zhang Han, you are responsible for guarding the customs."

"Li Xin, you lead the cavalry and follow me out to plunder for a while."

"Before I come back, no matter who comes, I can't open the Yanmen Gate and close the gate."

Bai Zhong sat on a war horse, holding a horse lance in his hand, and turned back to the people on the city tower and said.

Chen Ping worried: "According to the news of the Black Ice Platform, the Xiongnu have an army of 300,000 to the south, and the general only takes 20,000 cavalry to plunder, is it really feasible?" ”

"20,000 cavalry, that's enough!"

Bai Zhong said confidently: "Let's go!" ”

The next moment, the sound of galloping war horses sounded in the north of Yanmen Pass.

He wants to test how well the heavy cavalry and light cavalry can cooperate with the actual combat ability, the Huns are the best test objects, in order to form the heavy cavalry, a lot of money has been spent, and a good battle must be fought first to prove the ability of the heavy cavalry.

If the heavy cavalry is abolished, or the role is not as great as Bai Zhong said, it can still be adjusted in time.

Yanmen Pass, behind the cavalry, is getting farther and farther away.

The speed of the 20,000 cavalry was very fast, and although the heavy cavalry carried a high load, the endurance of the Hequ horses was very strong, and the speed was not as fast as that of the light cavalry, but they could also follow behind.

After a while, they came to a high slope.

"General, the Hun army is less than ten miles away from us."

The man from the Black Ice Platform came back and said.

Less than ten miles, it's already very close.

Bai Zhong thought for a while and said, "Captain Windu, you lead the light cavalry to attack, remember to do what I say, and lead the enemy's cavalry to chase here." ”

"No problem!"

Ying Shu responded.

She did not use a knife or a lance, but took up a bow and crossbow, and three jugs of arrows hung from the saddle.

All the hussars, with three pots of sharp arrows hanging from their saddles.

"Hussars, follow me!"

Ying Shu snorted, and first rode her horse to the north.

Until the light cavalry went farther and farther, Bai Zhong had a second plan, and said: "Li Xin, you take 5,000 heavy cavalry, go around to the rear of the Xiongnu, sneak attack the rear army, destroy the enemy's baggage, and come back after killing, don't fall in love." ”

"Yui!"

Li Xin waved his hand and led his troops to follow behind Yingshu, but after walking for several miles, he first walked to the northeast, borrowing the nearby terrain to cover and avoid the sight of the Xiongnu front army.

Their task is to disrupt the rear army.

Bai Zhong led the remaining 5,000 heavy cavalry to the north at a speed that was not too fast, keeping a certain distance from Yingshu, so that it was convenient to respond at any time, and was also waiting for the Hun cavalry attracted by Yingshu.
