If Jiang Qi only thought that Xun You was a person with some talent and knowledge in the past, then today he would be impressed.

However, in just half a day, Xun You had already understood the general general, and could accurately know the structure, strength, ordnance and materials of the army, and the military insights also surprised Jiang Qi a lot, which made Jiang Qi deeply feel that he had dug up a treasure.

Of course, Xun Yu also had a new evaluation of Jiang Qi in his heart, and he would no longer think that Jiang Qi's repeated victories were coincidences.

He didn't expect that Jiang Qi's military views could be comparable to any military strategist, and it can be said that the Jiang family's army has won a hundred battles now, not only because there are five tiger generals in the army and strict military laws.

More importantly, the Jiang family army is no better than others, and its top-to-bottom structure, from the smallest first army commander to the largest first lieutenant, can be said to have a clear division of labor, and in one fell swoop has overcome the drawbacks of soldiers who cannot find generals on the battlefield and will not know soldiers. It can be said that even if the commander of an army dies in battle, the army will not be defeated.

In addition, military salaries were paid from top to bottom, and post-war pensions for the wounded and dead were also stipulated, which undoubtedly created a precedent. Although the most worthless thing on the battlefield is life, Jiang Qi's move made the soldiers have no worries, so it is no wonder that the combat effectiveness does not soar.

At dusk, after everything was explained, Jiang and Xun began to discuss the march route around a sheepskin map hanging on the screen. ”

"The lord of this road is the fastest, first after Guangnian and then to Guangping, after the straight episode week, you will enter the territory of Guangzong, and you can reach it in half a month at the speed of our army's march. However, according to the information obtained by our spies, Quang Binh has now hoarded more than 10,000 enemy troops, and I am afraid that it will be delayed for some time as soon as the battle is engaged. Xun You looked at the almost straight marching path and said after pondering for a moment.

Of course, Jiang Qi knew what Xun You said, but he had already calculated the military situation of the enemy and us, if he fought all the way, he would reach Guangzong in mid-October at the latest, and he would be in time by then. However, it is inevitable to lose all the way to the battle, and Jiang Qi is also the most worried, and now seeing Xun You's answer, he immediately asked: "What is the solution to Gongda?" ”

"Did the lord ever think about walking the line of the curved beam?" Xun You pointed to a big city ten miles away and said.

"What does Gongda mean to take the boundary of Wei County and bypass Julu County?" Jiang Qi asked after scanning the names of several county seats.

"Yes, when you passed from Wei County, I heard the people's praise of the lord all the way, and I dare to say that if the lord walked the line of Wei County, things like Yiyang would continue to happen."

"And General Huangfu has basically pacified Yangping County, presumably no one in the next few counties will dare to stop it." Jiang Qi added.

"Although this is 30% more distance, it can save at least 30% of the marching time." Xun Yu praised.

"It seems that Gongda has already read the front-line intelligence." Jiang Qi smiled and picked up the bamboo slip on the table and said, the bamboo slip in his hand is the news of the Huangfu army pacifying Pingyang, but this news was only delivered yesterday, if Xun You hadn't read it, he would not have said such a thing.

"It's a matter of concern." Xun You said modestly.

Put down the bamboo slip Jiang Qi stared at Julu County for a long time, and finally agreed with Xun You's point of view, even if he can break the back road of the yellow scarf by beating Julu, but he also has the ability to suffer from the enemy on his back, and now it is better to be safe.

"Okay, Brother Gongda packed up his things, went back to the camp tonight, and set off tomorrow morning." Jiang Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, at this time, with Xun Yu's help, Jiang Qi did feel a lot more relaxed.

After finishing his business, Jiang Qi asked Xun You, who was starting to sort things out, "Oh, by the way, Brother Gongda has come north to the place of filial piety this time, and I can talk to the general." ”

After listening to Jiang Qi's words, Xun You shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said lightly: "You left a letter at home, and told my wife that if you don't return in the first month, you will send it to the General's Mansion, and there will be a resignation in the letter." ”

After thinking about Xun Yu's words, Jiang Qi smiled bitterly and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Gongda is afraid that doing this will make the general jealous, it is better to do this, Bo Xiaoxiu sent a letter to the fast horse back, and said that the war in the north is complicated, how about Qi leaving Gongda in the account?" ”

"But the lord is not trapped in in、、、justice like this," Xun You was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with some worry.

"Don't worry, the general still needs Qi, Qi must not have much of a problem with him personally, this letter is just to make him look better." Jiang Qi smiled.

"Then there is the lord of labor, and he will repair the letter to his wife and stop the letter in her hand." Seeing Jiang Qi's decision, Xun Yu only nodded helplessly in agreement. But he was still very happy in his heart, although a letter was a small thing, but Jiang Qi could think of it and let him feel a little moved in his heart.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Originally, Jiang Qi's army in Yiyang didn't plan to stay for a long time, and there were not many things entering the city, except for some official documents. Soon everything was put to a halt, leaving Li Shihou, who had been appointed as the county lieutenant, and his party out of the city overnight.

As for letting Li Shi and his 800 soldiers and horses stay here, it was already decided when he was in Handan, of course, Li Shi would not object, after all, from a thief to a county lieutenant with a rank of 500, an official of the imperial court, it was unthinkable for him before.

As for the position of county magistrate, because there is no one available, Jiang Qi can only guarantee a person recommended by a few big households in the city, and the person is a party member surnamed Zhao who has just been released because of the amnesty in the world.

Of course, in a small county with more than 5,000 households, it is really not easy to find out how famous a person is, but since it was recommended by a few powerful people, Jiang Qi is not easy to say, just explain that Li Shiping should pay more attention to it, only the military power is in hand, and those wealthy families can't make any tricks.

Soon after returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Jiang Qi ordered people to beat the drums of the generals, and with the drumming, more than ten battalion owners and deputy generals arrived at the Chinese army one after another.

Seeing that people were gathered, Jiang Qi, who was dressed in armor, got up and pointed to Xun You, who was dressed as a scribe at the head of the right, and said: "This is the newly appointed marching Sima Xunyou and Xun Gongda of the general, Gongda will be responsible for all military affairs in the camp except for the march in the future, Gongda's order is the general's order, and the generals should carry it out!" ”

"Humble and orderly, I've seen Xun Sima!" The generals respectfully clasped their fists and saluted Xun You.

"You have just arrived, and if you do something wrong in the future, I hope the generals will remind you more." Xun Yu humbly bowed to the generals and said.

"Alright, everyone take a seat, and now let's talk about the future of the army." Seeing that after knowing each other, Jiang Qi waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and when they sat down, Jiang Qi nodded to Xun You again.

After getting Jiang Qi's signal, Xun You got up and said: "I believe that all the generals know that the lord has been promoted to the general of Beizhonglang, and will help General Huangfu to calm the chaos in the north!" ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Xun You continued: "Yesterday, General Huangfu sent a letter saying that Yangping County had been pacified, and he would go to Guangzong on a certain day, in order to meet General Huangfu as soon as possible, the Lord decided to plan as follows、、、、、、"

Half an hour later, Xun You picked up the herbal tea on the table, took a sip and moistened his throat, and asked, "Are all the generals clear?" ”

"The last general commands!" After half an hour of Xun You's detailed explanation, a march route of only more than 300 miles, if the generals in the account still don't understand, then they can abdicate and make way for Xian.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Jiang Qi beckoned his soldiers to take out a plate of tiger talismans covered with red cloth and said, "Since you all understand, then give the order!" ”

As soon as they heard the order, the generals quickly got up and hugged their fists and said, "The last general is 、、、、、."

"Where is Guan Yu!"

"The last general!"

"Appointed you as a lieutenant general, responsible for directing the march of the army."

"No"

"Where is Zhao Yun?"

"The last general!"

"You are now appointed as the vanguard officer to open the way for the army!"

"No" Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and took the tiger talisman handed by Jiang Qi.

"Where is Xu Huang?"

"The last general!"

"Order your unit to be the left army and protect the left side of the Chinese army."

"No" Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully took the tiger talisman.

"Where is Tong Fei!"

"The last general!"

"Your unit is the right army, protect the right side of the army."

"No"

Jiang Qi picked up the last tiger talisman, looked at Zhang Fei, who was a little anxious on the side, and said, "Zhang Fei listens to the order."

"The last general!" Zhang Fei yelled, so frightened that everyone trembled, and they cast blaming eyes, but they were directly ignored by Zhang Fei.

"Your battalion is the rear army, take out all the war horses, and keep running around the army to raise dust, you know."

"No" Zhang Fei took the tiger talisman with some confusion.

Jiang Qi then looked at Uncle Jiang Ren, the commander of the Sword Battalion, and said, "Not only did the army march all the way, but even after the Sword Battalion found the enemy scouts, they were not allowed to shoot them, so they just let them go." ”

"The last general commands!" Uncle Jiang Ren replied without question.

"In addition, when marching, the battalions should fly as many flags as possible." Jiang Qi continued with a smile.

Seeing that the generals seemed to be a little ignorant of Jiang Qi's strategy, Xun You took over the topic and said: "This time, the lord wants to use the strategy of doubtful soldiers, if everyone does it well, the army is likely to reach Guangzong without blood." ”

"The last general commands!" Knowing Jiang Qi's strategy, the generals were ordered to leave quickly.

Only Jiang Qi and Xun You were left in the tent, looking at Jiang Qi who was combing through the information, Xun You couldn't help but ask, "Lord?" Usually I do it myself. ”

"No, there is so much time when the army is busy with affairs, and in the past, a few strategists in the account helped, but the county seat that came all the way had to be garrisoned, and those strategists were of course county orders and chiefs, and Qi could only do it himself these days." Jiang Qi said after folding the manuscript.

"I see, has the lord thought about finding some more people to help?" Xun You thought for a moment and asked.

"Of course, if it weren't for the public to come, I'm afraid that today's Qi may not be able to complete today's things even if it is Tianming. However, Gongda knows that Qi is not only young, but also has just entered the officialdom, so there is a celebrity who is willing to help Qi! Jiang Qi looked at Xun You with a wry smile, and then said: "Just like Feng Xiao, Changwen, and Yuan Si that day, Qi also wanted to keep it very much, but Qi knew that it was impossible, so it was difficult to speak." ”

"No, in fact, Fengxiao, Changwen and Yuan Si all have their hearts for the lord, but the time is still ripe. You dare to guarantee that there will be a few of them one day that will be used by the Lord. Xun You said solemnly, others may not know, but Xun You is very clear about the thoughts of several friends, and now they are worried that Jiang Qi is too young and afraid that he will not be able to succeed.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you can work together, Qi just doesn't want the talents of several brothers to be buried, just like Zhong Xuan and Zhong Yuanchang, if Brother Yuan Chang hadn't met Qi in Changshe that day, he might have planned to go into hiding. If the rest of the brothers also have the same idea, it will really be a loss for the people. Jiang Qi sighed and said.

"Brother Yuan Chang was a little disheartened a few days ago, and you also complained about it, but fortunately, you received a letter from Brother Yuan Chang before, and in the letter, Brother Yuan Chang also said that he benefited a lot from meeting with the lord in the long society, and hoped to work with the lord again in the future."

At the mention of Zhong Xuan, Xun You's eyes lit up, and then said: "You still have a few friends, and their talents are no less than you, if the lord can be trusted, you will immediately write a letter to lobby for the lord." ”

Hearing Xun You's words, Jiang Qi was a little moved, and hurriedly held Xun You's hand and said: "Since ancient times, literati have been light, but they didn't want to be so open-minded, the ancient sages are just like this, and Gongda is the mastermind of Qi!" ”

"The lord treats you like a brother, and does not abandon the end to give such trust, and we literati just hope to get a clear master. Now that the Lord is out, we should do everything we can to plan for the Lord. ”

Hearing Jiang Qi praise him as the mastermind, Xun You was also very emotional, the greatest wish of the strategist is undoubtedly to find the lord who can let him play his strengths, and now he is very lucky, but just after taking refuge in Jiang Qi, he got the most wanted, 'trust'.
