At the end, I saw Gao Yingen's face tense, and when he turned his head, he shouted to the soldiers behind him:

"Go, get my knife!"

Yang Kai froze when he heard this, fortunately, with the experience of these days, he didn't let too many flaws be exposed, but his eyelids jumped.

After a while, I saw the personal soldiers behind him who answered the call, brought up a long knife and handed it to Gao Yingen's hand.

It was in a panic, but after seeing Gao Yingen take the knife, he didn't hesitate, pulled out the general and stretched it out in front of Yang Kai, so he didn't make any other movements, it turned out to be for him to see.

"I am ashamed to say that the camp is empty and there is not much money to give you money. This is a good knife, which I obtained in the Fengyang arsenal, and after following me for half a year, even if the enemy is less than a hundred, there are seventy or eighty, and there has not been a gap so far.

The sword is very suitable for heroes. Now this knife will be rewarded to you, he will wait for me to break into the camp and make a comeback, fame and wealth, let Brother Kaier choose! ”

"This ......," Yang Kai was about to refuse.

Listening to Gao Yingen's big hand, he interrupted his speech and said: "Needless to say, although my middle Douxing is far inferior to the old master, the gift given by me has never been taken back." Since you don't want to be the mastermind of my new camp, take this knife into battle and kill a few more enemies! ”

What he said later, there was no intention of forcing it, so he returned the knife back to the sheath, separated his hands, and handed the waist knife to Yang Kai. There is sincerity in his eyes.

Yang Kai could feel his sincerity, he really wanted to reorganize the camp, but he also sighed secretly for him in his heart, no wonder history came to the back, and he had never heard of the name of Zhongdou Xing again, just this heart, how could he fight against Li Zicheng's subordinates?

"Yang Kai, deputy of the cavalry army in the front of the battle, thank you for your kindness!" Yang Kai came back to his senses, raised his hand to borrow the knife, and shouted loudly.

Gao Yingen thought that Yang Kai was about to be grateful, so he raised his head and laughed: "It's a doll after all, go ahead, call Yang Guan's team, I have important military arrangements." ”

A meeting to decide the fate of the remnants of the camp came to an end on this barren field. Yang Kai held the waist knife and walked away, and for a moment, he even wondered if he should be loyal to this weak palm.

He knew that it was this feeling after the ancient strategists were recognized by the lord, so he said that the grace of knowing was as heavy as Mount Tai. Shaking his head and putting his worries aside, he had done everything he could.

After Yang Taisui led his men and horses into Gao Yingen's team, they regained the scale of more than 3,000 people, and the momentum of their more than 400 horsemen galloping into the battle also swept away the sluggish morale of this remnant army slightly.

The difference between a mourning soldier and a defeated soldier is far from the same. If we can reasonably change the mentality of this contingent and turn the mood of its defeated soldiers into hatred for the officers and soldiers, we can restore the combat effectiveness of this contingent, or even stronger.

The so-called mourning soldiers will win, and this is the case.

Then, Yang Kai informed Yang Taisui of Gao Yingen's order, and the latter left as ordered. They stopped in place for a night's rest, and the next morning they went east on the Qinling Trail.

Gao Yingen summoned Yang Taisui over, also because he heard that they were from the Lu clan in Henan and were familiar with the terrain at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, and the two sides talked very harmoniously, and finally decided to let Yang Taisui be the vanguard to lead the way.

Walking out of the Qinling Mountains along the winding mountain path, crossing the Meridian River and continuing east along the border of Xi'an, bypassing Zhen'an to the vicinity of the Jiahe River, they did not see the shadow of half of the official army. Along the way, one hundred and ten cavalry soldiers under Cao Mang's leadership walked in front, and Han Bin, Yang Taisui and others were still fighting in the army.

In short, after Sun Chuanting collected his troops and returned, they were instead given a broader space.

After a few days of marching, a large number of people and horses continued to rush into this new camp in the villages and villas they passed, and Yang Taisui alone absorbed three or four hundred people, and the morale of the peasants was gradually restored.

Among them, there are many oppressed farmers, miscellaneous, old and weak who have little combat effectiveness, Gao Yingen also collects, and the affairs of the army can not only rely on the good men who can dance guns and play sticks, horses need to be fed and cared for, fire heads are needed for cooking on fire, damaged iron armor needs to be repaired, and so on, all need people.

It's just a few more mouths, snatching a few batches of grain, and you can also use them to bluff and expand your influence, why not?

Han Bin is also very popular in the army, Yang Taisui has the identity of an old manager, of course, it is inconvenient to get close to the soldiers directly, but he is different.

Shuttle between the battalions, see who is not enough food, take the initiative to distribute. and often get together to chat about the local customs of various places, Yang Taisui previously rectified the set of his subordinates, he also learned it, and he used it handy.

It is nothing more than to resonate with the bitter people, and scolding the dog officials is enjoyable, although it can't achieve the same effect as Yang Taisui, at least the teams of all parts are familiar with each other, and they are familiar with the materials to better cooperate.

With Cao Mang as a pioneer in front, they found food first wherever they went, so they had plenty of money on hand.

No matter where the people are, the concept of the countryside is deeply rooted in the mind, and in this era of displacement, it is easy to hug one or two people from their hometown.

Most of the people who can still survive in the camp now follow Gao Yingxiang and come out of the Liangxi region, and those who are admired in the army are not able to fight and dare to fight? Yang Taisui's department can't do anything else, but it can fight, so if it comes and goes, the effect of Han Bin's drumming is destined to not be bad.

After walking for a few days, the army crossed the Jiahe River, and found a spacious place on the side to stop and rest, and fetch water from the stove to cook, dismantle the saddle and feed it, and so on, until the teams shouted loudly and led the people to regroup.

Cai Qian was going to do the same, but whenever people heard that he was a defected subordinate of Huanglong, they immediately scoffed, not only did they not have a cold for him, but also threatened to cut off his left hand.

"What the hell!" Leaving the soldiers who were gathered to rest, Cai Qian snorted viciously.

He really didn't know if Yang Kai, this kid, ran to the palm plate and bought his ass, how could he get such trust?

It was when he was irritable, he glanced up, the thief, and saw Yang Kai smiling at him.

"Team Cai, what are you busy with?" Yang Kai walked up and greeted him.

His injuries are not serious, but he is still young in the end, and after a few days, he can already gallop at will.

Cai Qian snorted angrily: "What can you be busy with, but you are really busy!" I'd better find a comfortable place to sleep. ”

"Don't, Cai Guan Team, have nothing to do, sit down and chat."

Cai Qian glanced at him, snorted twice, and still put on a stinky face, his mood had been experienced, and he wanted to turn over to the point of not doing things, inaction, and then being unable to turn over, and at this time he was irritable.

Yang Kai kept smiling, and the two of them walked sideways, in fact, after getting along during this time, Cai Qian felt a little strange in his heart, but if he wanted to say that it was strange, he couldn't say it.

He came from a humble background, and he was especially good at observing words and emotions since he was a child, and Yang Kai's eyes were indeed missing the kind of ridicule in the eyes of others.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't show his face to this little brother who has expressed kindness to him, and now that Yang Taisui is also an old manager, as a small manager, it is natural for him to live under his subordinates. And this old steward also added more than 100 people to his subordinates, but sometimes he just couldn't help but get angry, as for why he was angry, he didn't know very well, maybe he just wanted a step?

Even if it's just Yang Taisui's soft words.

But Yang Taisui has never been interested in outsiders, most of his thoughts are on his own people, and these newly recruited men always have to teach him some punches and kicks, right?

Otherwise, if they really go to the battlefield, they can only pick up stones and throw them in the face of the enemy?

What Yang Taisui didn't do, Yang Kai made up, "Do you want to hear my thoughts?" Now the troubles of the Cai Guan team, mainly brought by this traitor's hat on the head, the brothers have lost trust in you, so they have lost their respect.

If you want to change this situation, there is only one way, that is, on the battlefield, prove yourself, prove that your Cai Guan team is not a defector, and it is impossible to be a traitor. ”

"Thief...... Of course I know, you need this, you say? Cai Qian originally wanted to scold a foul mouth, but in the end he swallowed it, but his mouth was still hard.

Yang Kai looked at Cai Qian and laughed at himself: "I just said that the Cai Guan team is not a fool, how can this be a reason, I can't figure it out." Ha! That's really me meddling. ”

Cai Qian listened, and didn't know whether to get angry or his tail. Yang Kai owed to him: "Cai Guan team have a good rest, I'll go to the eldest brother's side to have a look." ”

“......”

Finding Yang Taisui's location, he was reprimanding a group of new troops, and whenever this was the case, he would move out of Yang Kai as an example.

He has always been like this, he will take care of Yang Kai when he is injured, scold when he makes mistakes, and be happy when he has achieved something, Yang Kai's words and deeds recently, every time he mentions it in front of familiar people, or these strange people, he has a feeling of happiness in his heart.

Maybe he wouldn't be able to write the word "proud," but that's it.

Suddenly having a feeling that he had overheard his parents praising him in front of people when he was a child, Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, still hesitating whether to go in at this time.

At this moment, the scattered rangers, clinging to their horses, lowered a small yellow flag, and hunted in the wind, and he ran very fast, shouting from afar and galloping back.

Yang Taisui's face changed, their front battalion was at the forefront of the army, and they were naturally the first to receive the battle report, which was a set of flags designed according to Yang Kai's suggestion.

It is specially carried by the scout horse in charge of reconnaissance in the front, and according to the size of the enemy encountered in front, it is divided into three levels: yellow, blue, and red, with yellow being the last, blue second, and red being the strongest.

"Officers and soldiers!" Before the mount could stop, the old brother on horseback turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "Thirty miles ahead, two rangers have erected flags and reported that they have found that the officers and troops are coming to our side. ”

"At this time, how can there be officials and soldiers coming to our side? How many people are there? ”

"Three hundred."

Cai Qian, who heard the news from afar, scolded his mother loudly and jumped on horseback.
