The border of Yunnan and Guizhou, the camp of the White Elephant Clan.

When Katsuko arrived, the White Elephant soldiers cheered.

Liu Shiqi attaches great importance to the treatment of the White Elephant soldiers, not only one-third of the Fujian army, about 20,000 troops, directly assigned to the Dashan military camp on the Yunnan-Guizhou border for his transfer and command, including all the White Elephant soldiers' daily food can ensure the fresh supply of beef and mutton.

During his years in Yuezhou, Liu Shiqi led the officers and soldiers of Yuezhou to continuously reclaim wasteland and fence up livestock, so Yuezhou was very well prepared for wartime logistics.

Dashan's battalion, plus 20,000 White Elephant Clan troops, has reached 40,000 people, and has the strength to launch an offensive charge against the Xirong army in Guizhou at any time. In addition, Dashan is also the calmest of the five brothers of Hekun, and Hekun is relieved to let him command the front-line army.

Liu Shiqi's treatment of the soldiers of the White Elephant Clan, Dashan also saw it, and Dashan took it to heart.

Now that Hekun has sent Hezi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers, this battalion can be regarded as a tiger with wings.

In addition, Hezi was originally the first fierce general of the White Elephant Clan, and his prestige in the army was extremely high, so naturally the morale in the military camp was strong at this moment.

When Dashan saw Hezi in armor and radiant at the door of the camp, he greeted him excitedly and said, "Brother, I've finally waited for you!"

"Dude. When the brothers saw each other again, they were all more excited, and Hezi gave Dashan an affectionate hug and said in his ear: "I regard the Xijon people as grass mustard, this time let me be the vanguard, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"Okay! good!" Dashan looked at Hezi with great satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is an old brother who has come from afar to be a pioneer for my brother, how can I talk about Guizhou not being broken, and not making achievements!"

The two laughed and beckoned each other into the tent.

The seat that Tashan prepared for Kazuko was next to him, and the two brothers had intersected since childhood, and they didn't care about the level of their official position, so Katsuko sat down unceremoniously.

Dashan said: "Brother, let me introduce to you, this is General Bao Sen under my brother's account, this is General An Lu, and the two on the left are General Ji Dang, the commander of the Minzhou Army, and General Xu Kaili. ”

When Hezi originally heard Dashan introduce the first two, they also greeted each other with a smile, but when they introduced the two Min Jun, Hezi's face darkened.

He is still defensive about the army of the Central Plains, and in his subconscious, since the imperial court has the intention to collect their White Elephant Clan and hand over part of the Fujian army to the command of the White Elephant Clan, then there can be no generals from the Central Plains among the generals who lead the troops, otherwise how can it be delivered. This army was originally a general, and the Fujian army had a commander here, so it can be said that nine times out of ten there was discord between the face and the heart.

Dashan also knows Kazuko, he always pays attention to Kazuko's affection, Hezi has a bold personality, and he will never hide his heart in his heart, Dashan took the opportunity to introduce: "Presumably, the two generals have not seen General Kazuko, the god of war in our White Elephant Army, I will introduce you today." "Let's play

Ji Dang and Xu Kaili stood up one after another when they heard the voice, and Ji Dang said: "I heard that General Hezi was brave, but when I saw it today, it was different from ordinary people's demeanor. ”

Hezi was complimented by this, and it was not good to put on a stinky face anymore, so she had to salute them too.

Dashan took advantage of the situation and said again: "Brother, do you know that the two generals who dare to open with Xu Kaili this season are just two commanders in the Fujian army, but they led 5,000 Fujian troops and the vanguard battalion led by General Bao Sen in the Siguniang Mountain Basin the day before yesterday to repel tens of thousands of horses and horses in Xirong and capture more than 1,000 people. ”

Hezi was a little surprised when she heard this, and narrowed her eyes to look at the two Zhongyuan generals who looked a little elegant. The vanguard battalion of the White Elephant Clan is only 5,000 troops, and with a total of 10,000 troops, it can compete with the same Xirong army, and it is a complete victory.

Hezi's suspicions are not unreasonable, in this world, except for the White Elephant Clan soldiers, who may be able to fight the powerful Xirong army, most of the other armies can only defeat the Xirong army with superior numbers.

Dashan then explained: "Of course, the biggest effect is also thanks to General Ji Kang's strategy. He and General Xu Kaili lured the enemy deep with 5,000 Fujian troops, and later the vanguard battalion ambushed by General Bao Sen in advance rushed out to cut off the return route of the Xirong army, and the basin was surrounded by the banners of our White Elephant Army, which made the Xirong Army think that this time it was all the main force of our White Elephant Clan, and there were quite a few people. The Xijon people thought that they had fallen into a big trap, and the army was in chaos for a while, so we were able to take advantage of it and win the victory in the Siniang Basin. ”

Dashan is talking about this with Hezi today, completely to let Hezi change his impression of the Central Plains General.

Katsuko listened expressionlessly, and only nodded.

Although this ploy seems to be all over the books, it is really difficult to lure the enemy into it. In addition to having acting skills, it is also necessary to have the right time and place, which not only tests the defense ability of the decoy army, but also requires the temperament of the local general. Many factors can create a winning battle that lures the enemy deep and ambushes the enemy.

Therefore, for these two ordinary captains, it is indeed rare to be able to operate like this.

Thinking of this, Hezi asked in a deep voice, "Why do you think those Xirong troops will be fooled?"

Ji Dare said: "The enemy and us have been in a stalemate for a long time, and tens of thousands of horses have been dispatched this time, and the intention is very obvious. In addition, the bait is my Fujian army, and ten miles before the Siguniang Basin, it is an endless plain, and the Xirong people are conceited, and they believe that it is enough to kill our Fujian army of 5,000 sons and daughters within these ten miles. It's just that they didn't expect that our 5,000 sons are all good players in a hundred, maybe it's a little bit worse to hit it head-on, but we still have the skills to fight and withdraw at the same time. When they arrived at the basin, General Bao Sen's army appeared, and there were banners scattered everywhere, and the Xirong army's original psychological fear of the White Elephant Clan was magnified at this moment, so they were in chaos. The chaotic Xirong army is like a plate of scattered sand, and our cavalry will be able to crush them if they attack again. ”

Ji Dare said modestly, and seemed to have a smooth strategy, neither humble nor arrogant, which left a good impression on Hezi.

Katsuko nodded, and then asked, "Then what do you think, what is the real combat effectiveness of the Xirong army?"

Ji Dang thought for a moment, and then said: "The main force of the Xirong army has not yet appeared, so it is conceivable that Yunzhou is not necessarily the next target of the Xirong army this time. Despite this, the combat strength of the 30,000 Xirong troops stationed on the border of Guizhou is also about the same as that of the Tibetan soldiers, and they need to be cautious and cautious in their fights, step by step, and try to do it when the number is superior. ”

Ji Dang's words were extremely impressive, he did not exaggerate the combat power of the Xirong army, nor did he belittle the Xirong army, but reminded him of it.

Hezi frowned, leaned back on the chair, and said domineeringly: "I came to deal with the Xijon people. ”
