Fang Xu's words successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Chen Kan looked at Fang Xu thoughtfully and asked, "Training?" ”

"How?"

Fang Xu walked out of the crowd, came to Chen Kan and arched his hand: "Master Hou, the last general thinks that this time it is impossible for a large-scale war between our Ming and Tartars."

"Oh?"

Chen Kan raised his head slightly and motioned for Fang Xu to continue.

It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the grassland on a large scale, and it is impossible for the Tartars to invade the Ming Dynasty on a large scale, this is the result of Chen Kan's calculations, but he has not talked to his subordinates about this matter.

This time Chen Kan's calculations, the only people who knew about it were Zhu Di in Nanjing and Zheng He in Nanyang, how did Fang Xu know?

Facing Chen Kan's gaze, Fang Xu walked to the front of the map and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Everyone, please see, although Duoyan Sanwei has spoken now, he is willing to cooperate with the Warat Department to attack the Northern Yuan, but he has never made any action.

The subordinates believe that the real purpose of the Northern Yuan Chen Bingtu Mote Chuan is to threaten my Daming, and the world knows that Duoyan Sanwei has always been the only one who is the head of the Ming Dynasty, so the subordinates have reason to believe that the Northern Yuan is warning me Daming and coercing His Majesty to order Duoyan Sanwei not to meddle in the disputes on the grassland.

If the Northern Yuan invaded the border for this reason, then this war could not be fought, and even if it did, the two sides would only engage in small-scale local wars. ”

Fang Xu's words were reasonable, and Chen Kan couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The others looked at Fang Xu's gaze in surprise as they looked.

Everyone present knew that Cheng Feng and Fang Xu were Chen Kan's henchmen, but Fang Xu's personal martial arts were average, unlike Cheng Feng, who had just entered the military camp and picked the veteran horse battle master Meng Ge Suhan under the horse, so he had never had a sense of presence in the army.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xu, who was inconspicuous, turned out to be a wise general.

Zhou Shi couldn't help but ask: "General Fang, even if what you said is true, then what does this have to do with military training?" ”

Fang Xu showed a slightly calm expression towards Zhou Shi, and then explained: "The reason why the last general said that our focus this time is on military training, is that he is sure that the Tartars will not dare to commit large-scale offenses.

As you all know, the western side of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is now at war with the detached Warat tribe on the side of the Daoliu River, and there is a threat from Duoyan Sanwei in the east.

The Tartars are already in a situation of being attacked from both sides, if they dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty, it will not be the enemy on the back, but the three Queyi.

At that time, how could Warab and Uliangha give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs?

Therefore, the Tartars do not have the ability to pull up such a long front, and they do not dare to commit large-scale offenses, unless they want to destroy the country and exterminate the species. ”

"Well said!"

Chen Kan couldn't help but applaud, he could already predict Fang Xu's next plan.

Seeing Chen Kan applauding it, Fang Xu was a little embarrassed.

Chen Kan showed encouragement: "Go on." ”

Fang Xu nodded in response: "Based on the current situation in Beiyuan, my subordinates think that we should divide our troops. ”

"Division?"

The generals couldn't help but exclaim, and then looked at Fang Xu in surprise.

Zhou Shi couldn't help but interrupt: "No, we must divide the troops, we only have five thousand people, if we divide the troops again, wouldn't it give the Tartars a chance to break them one by one?" ”

Fang Xu looked at Chen Kan with a smile and did not make a statement.

Cong Chen Kan nodded with a smile: "Ben Hou agrees with your strategy of dividing the troops." ”

"What?"

Chen Kantong divided his troops, led by Zhou Shi, and even brought five thousand households, but he couldn't help but look anxious.

Zhou Shi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Master Hou can't, you can't divide the troops." ”

Chen Kan raised his hand to stop Zhou Shi's words: "You might as well listen to Fang Xu's plan before speaking out." ”

With Chen Kan's support, Fang Xu's voice suddenly became louder: "General Zhou, in the eyes of the last general, this soldier must be divided, otherwise our trip to the grassland will be in vain." ”

Zhou Shi just wanted to reprimand Fang Xu for his demonic words to confuse the public, but he received Chen Kan's warning look.

Chen Kan glared at Zhou Shi, and then looked at Fang Xu: "You continue to say, whoever dares to interrupt you again, this Hou military law is in charge." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shi and the five thousand households showed a look of displeasure on their faces, but after all, they still didn't dare to continue to talk more.

Fang Xu sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then said slowly: "The last general's strategy of dividing the troops is very simple, just divide the soldiers of the 3,000 battalion into two parts, one of the brothers stay in Xuanhua to help the soldiers of Xuanhua defend the city, and the other part abandons the baggage and grain and grass, and takes the way of one person and two horses to go into battle lightly, and go deep behind the enemy to plunder cattle and sheep to feed the war. ”

"Sure enough!"

The corners of Chen Kan's mouth were smiling, he had thought of this possibility as early as when Fang Xu proposed the strategy of dividing the troops.

After hearing Fang Xu's plan, the rest of the generals hurriedly suppressed the rebuttal in their throats.

Because they found that Fang Xu's proposal seemed to be really able to reap the merits of the war.

And not yet to come into direct contact with the large forces of the Tartars.

Seeing that the generals fell silent after listening to Fang Xu's proposal, Chen Kan smiled and asked, "Are there any questions?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi was glared at by Chen Kan, and his face turned red with shame in an instant: "No... No comments. ”

Chen Kan looked at the five thousand households again, and the expressions of the five thousand households were similar to Zhou Shi's, shaking their heads like rattles.

Chen Kan nodded with satisfaction, looked at Fang Xu and said, "They have no problem, but Ben Hou still has a few doubts." ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

After this discussion, he successfully gained a firm foothold in the army.

So now I have a bit of a sense of neither humility nor arrogance.

Chen Kan didn't sell it, and bluntly asked his doubts: "As you said, let's divide our troops into two ways, abandon our baggage and grain and grass and go deep behind enemy lines to feed the war, how can you be sure that we will be able to find the Tartar tribe on the huge grassland to loot, and besides, what if the Tartar army cuts off our back road?" ”

Hearing Chen Kan's two questions, Fang Xu suddenly showed an expression of Chengzhu in his chest, and then said with a smile: "Hou Ye's question, the last general has already thought about it, first of all, how can we find the tribe of the Tartars, this is simple, we don't need to go to the tribes of the Tartars, we just need to follow their army."

In the grassland, war horses, cattle and sheep, and even all kinds of horse milk, goat's milk, and milk are all food.

The army of the Tartars has a complete supply line, let's just grab it, we don't have to grab much each time, and the Tartars are a touch away, we can't find the tribe of the Tartars, can't we find the garrison of the Tartars? ”

"As for the second question, it's even simpler, the grassland is so big, and it's not just the Tartar family, if the back road is cut off, it's a big deal for us to detour the Warat.

Besides, there are also defenders of the same generation of Xuanfu who are eyeing the Tartars, and they are already in the dilemma of fighting on three sides, where can they have the manpower to intercept us.

The worst result is nothing more than that we are chased by the Tartars all over the grassland, and if we fight, how can there be immortals, and we will feel that we can afford this risk. ”

Chen Kan narrowed his eyes and looked at a group of generals led by Zhou Shi, and asked, "What about one of you, should you take this risk?" ”

Several people looked at each other, and when it came to this, what else could they say.

So Zhou Shi arched his hand very interestingly and said: "The last general is willing to be driven by the Hou Ye." ”

Chen Kan bowed his head and said: "Since this is the case, then we will set a strategy for dividing the troops." ”

"Obey the command."

Chen Kan's words are the final decision, so no matter what the generals think, they can only lean over and listen to orders now.

Chen Kan pondered for a moment and shouted lightly: "Fang Chaorong, Zong Anliang." ”

"The end will be."

Fang Chaorong and Zong Anliang are two thousand households, and the two thousand people under their command are the foot soldiers in this army, since they are going to the grassland, they must be cavalry, so the two of them are responsible for cooperating with the Xuanhua guards to defend the city.

Chen Kan instructed: "Ben Hou only needs 2,000 people, and the two of you are responsible for taking the remaining 3,000 people to defend the city." ”

"Order!"

The two of them had no objections, and they knew that going behind enemy lines would definitely not be their business.

The two received the military order, and Chen Kan shouted again: "Zhou Shi, Cen Gu, Qiu Han, Qian Xinghu, Cheng Feng, Fang Xu!" ”

"The last general!"

Chen Kan said: "You guys are ready to pick out two thousand elites to go with Ben Hou on the grassland." ”

"Order!"

Chen Kan commanded 5,000 people, including 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers.

Chen Kan only took 2,000 people, so 1,000 of the cavalry had to be left to defend the city in Xuanhua.

Chen Kan must have taken away the cavalry Qianhu composed of Han Chinese, so the people who stayed could only be selected from the remaining two Qianhu houses composed of foreign people.

This task was handed over to Cheng Feng by Chen Kan.

Cheng Feng is a natural cavalry general, and the cavalry he picked out, Chen Kan can use it with confidence.

After the deployment of the general order, the sky was already dark.

After casually eating some dry food, Chen Kan climbed onto the marching bed and lay down in his clothes.

He was about to fight with the Tartars, and Chen Kan's mood was a little complicated now.

After coming to Daming, he killed a lot of people, and there were no sequelae such as post-war psychological trauma.

But in the past, it was a game in the Ming Dynasty, and it was the first time that the big girl went to the sedan chair to go to the battlefield.

He also didn't know what the battlefield was like.

After lying down for a long time, Chen Kan didn't feel sleepy at all, and he found that he had rare insomnia.

Unable to sleep, Chen Kan simply put on his armor and walked out of the camp gate, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze.

There are still many soldiers on duty in the camp patrolling, and when they meet Chen Kan, they will always salute him respectfully.

For the soldiers who saluted him, Chen Kan waved his hand to them to continue to do their own things, and then continued to watch the full moon in the sky.

The moon in the north looks brighter than the one in the south of the Yangtze River, and the outline is clearer, unlike the moon in the south of the Yangtze River, which always feels like it is shrouded in a layer of mist.

"A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, the body to the side of Yuguan, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night.

The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dream of the broken hometown cannot be realized, and there is no sound in the old garden. ”

Looking at the tent stretching in front of him, as well as the tall city walls of Xuanhua City thirty miles away, Chen Kan softly recited Nalan Rongruo's Sauvignon Blanc.

At this moment, he missed Jiangnan a little.
