24, subdue

Outside Linfen City

The winter is approaching, and the daytime hours are greatly shortened. In a blink of an eye, the sun gradually sets westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun is scattered in the military camp where soldiers gather outside Linfen City, pulling the shadows of the camps in various places long. As the light gradually fades, the torches and bonfires for lighting in various places also lit up.

Yan Xing took Xu Huang, who had just killed Bai Bo Qu coach a few days ago and made his first contribution, inspected his own camp, followed by Daniu and several other personal guards.

Now winter is about to enter, and the temperature at night is also falling. The soldiers in the battalion attacked Baibo Valley and followed the three captains to pursue Baibo's army. They made many military achievements, but some casualties were also caused.

The winter clothes in the army have not been distributed yet, and ordinary soldiers can still be beaten. At worst, several comrades in the same tent can keep warm together. However, if these wounded soldiers who were injured in recent battles do not have winter clothes, re-quilts, and the frost and dew are steep in the middle of the night, it may be difficult to survive.

Therefore, Yan Xing reported to Xu Kun and applied for the soldiers' winter clothes, but at the same time, he had already purchased a batch of winter clothes for the injured soldiers in Linfen.

But in the evening, Yan Xing, who had been in the food service, was still worried about the wounded soldiers in the camp, so he called Xu Huang, who had just been promoted to the Houtun team in the army, to go with him.

Although Yan Xing was only a military officer of 600 stone, his troops had more than a thousand. Among them, more than 200 Feilian cavalry were trained and led by Ganling on weekdays and led by Yan Xing during wartime, other soldiers were divided into villages according to the army's central government system.

The number of people in the Qiantun is more than 200, led by Ma Lin. The number of people on the left and right is about 150. The left and right is Yan Xing, and the right is temporarily vacant. On weekdays, Yan Xing is trained together, and in wartime, it is allocated to other garrisons according to the situation. The number of people in the central garrison remains at a rate of 100, with most veterans and the number of people in armor is the largest. Whether in normal or during wartime, it is led by Yan Xing, and Da Niu and another Yan family army are the team leader. Later, because of the auxiliary troops such as baggage and fire-headed soldiers, the number of people in the rear has exceeded 300. Since Yan Shun died in the battle, the commander has been vacant and can only be temporarily taken by Yan Xing.

Later, Zhou Liang came down from Li Ru's tent to Yan Xing's camp. With this civil servant, he slightly shared the pressure from Yan Xing. Now Xu Huang has made military achievements and decided to stay in his army. He once served as a minor official in the county government of Hedong County. He was both civil and military. Yan Xing intends to train his abilities and let him take over Houtun's troops, so he promoted him to Houtun's leadership and prepared to live a few days. When he accumulates enough military merits, he will be promoted to the general of the army.

Yan Xing had some health knowledge from later generations, so he also paid great attention to the military affairs of the care of injured soldiers. These injured soldiers have now been transferred to the camp in Houtun, and a camp was specially vacated to make an independent tent for them and have special auxiliary soldiers to take care of them.

Yan Xing has guided his soldiers many times to remove blood and filth from the injured camp. The injured soldiers scrubbed their bodies on time, changed their clothes, and even boiled them in boiling water and dried them before they could be reused. These things are now under the charge of Xu Huang from Houtun, so Yan Xing specially sent someone to call Xu Huang and took him to patrol the camp.

There were not many seriously injured soldiers, only a few military tents, some of which were missing hands and legs, or had severe injuries. Some even had not had much time left. Although they were not abandoned on the battlefield, the food supply in the camp was even more severe. But thinking that his life was not long or he could no longer go to the battlefield, it was inevitable that he felt desolate. Yan Xing brought Xu Huang to their tent, comforted him warmly, patiently listened to the complaints and lamentations of the seriously injured soldiers, and tried his best to soothe their fragile nerves.

When he walked to the end of the tent, a soldier who had fallen asleep only fifteen or six years old, Yan Xing looked at his tender face with a frown and pale face, and couldn't help but stop and asked the auxiliary soldiers who were guarding the wounded soldiers about the injuries of the young soldier.

He learned that the young man had a knife wound on his chest and had been infected. Although the ulcer doctor in the army had already sutured the wound for him, his injury was too serious and he had not yet subsided and he was unconscious. Yan Xing nodded with a heavy face. The current medicine stones have few ways to infect this kind of wound. Even if there is a secret recipe for spiritual medicine, it can be difficult to promote it in the army that is generally scarce. It can only rely on the physical fitness of the soldiers to resist it. However, for this type of soldiers with too severe injuries, there is a small chance of survival.

Yan Xing silently tucked a corner of the bedding on the young wounded man's body to prevent the wind from falling off, and then said goodbye to the other wounded men one by one and stepped out of the military tent.

Although he was in a heavy mood, Yan Xing still kept walking and took Xu Huang and others to the military tent of the slightly injured soldiers not far away. Most of the soldiers in this military tent were injured in flesh and blood, and they would soon recover and go back to battle. The atmosphere in the tent seemed much lighter.

All these soldiers knew Yan Xing, the army waiter and the teams who came to inspect on a daily basis. Many of them had jumped up from their sleeping mats to welcome Yan Xing and others. Some of the brave soldiers were still in a hurry to ask about the war on the front line. After they were injured, they would go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and earn more of their first-level military achievements.

Yan Xing also changed into a kind smile and talked with many soldiers. Seeing that a soldier who was binding the wound was about to get up to greet him before he had tied up his cloth straps, Yan Xing quickly took the lead, pressed him back to his mat, and squatted down to bandage him the wound. During this period, he talked more to him, encouraging him to recover from his wounds, return to the army as soon as possible, and fight with other comrades.

···

Whenever he arrived at a military tent, Yan Xing would stay for a while, and Yan Xing would talk to them a few words and listen to his gossip and demands patiently. Therefore, although there were only a few military tents where the wounded soldiers lived, not many, but by the time all the inspections were all completed, the sun had completely set, and the crescent moon on the other side gradually rose to the night sky.

Yan Xing took Xu Huang and others to a place at the edge of the camp and stopped. Da Niu and other guards consciously dispersed and guarded around. Looking at the camp with clear bonfires in the dark, he followed him with a sway. He noticed that Yan Xing had something to say to him. Xu Huang thought about it, started the conversation in advance, and said to Yan Xing with admiration:

"The military guards love the soldiers and soldiers, just like the kind father loves children. Wherever they do, the soldiers are grateful and convinced. Huang took over all the things in the backyard, but because of his dull qualifications, he was often inappropriate. Huang was really ashamed of his military guards!"

Yan Xing shook his head slightly and said:

"Before these soldiers joined the army, they were mostly refugees who were strong and powerful. Their homes were destroyed and they were all alone. Now they became soldiers under their command. The generals and officials in the army were their only support. The military was kind and ruthless. The military law was ruthless. If we wanted to kill and seize it, they were all due to our trade-offs. However, when we were disarming, they were also flesh and blood. They did not make gratitude and trust, but only punished them with severe punishment. This was not a good way to govern the army!"

The main force of the soldiers under Yan Xing's command has changed from the original Yan family unit to the militia recruited by Sanfu. The surviving Yan family unit mostly dispatched military positions in Geshi ranks. Not only did the team change in nature, but the number of people is also increasing.

A thousand-person army has the method of leading the army, and an army of more than ten thousand people also has the method of commanding the army of ten thousand people.

The grasp of the two aspects of strict law and kindness is the most test of a general's ability to weigh.

After hearing this, Xu Huang also looked thoughtful and nodded in agreement. After Yan Xing finished speaking his experience, he looked at the young team leader in front of him with a strong and powerful general, and suddenly smiled and encouraged him:

"You have been through military affairs for the first time and are diligent and have been safe in your work. There are too many people who are better than ordinary people. I have also learned from these military affairs experiences since I joined the army and have been summarizing them after the war. Gongming has the talent of a general and is diligent in learning and will become a great tool in the future!"

Yan Xing has always seen Xu Huang's performance these days. He has to admit that in addition to his experience as the best teacher, talent is also crucial to the person in charge. Although Xu Huang is a newcomer and is in charge of the military affairs, he carefully asked Yan Xing, Zhou Liang, Ma Lin and others for advice, and was able to follow the advice of his subordinates as good as the flow. With his talent, although he still needs Yan Xing's guidance, he can grow a general who is in charge of the country in time.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing felt a little moved. He used to be the same as he was trying to train Yan Shun to grow into a military officer who could rely on in the army. However, the battle was extremely dangerous. If one move was not careful, the defeated general would be the result of a young soldier who had just suffered pain and torture. Perhaps the next moment, his tender life would disappear in this dark night.

After hearing Yan Xing's praise, Xu Huang said he was unfair to praise him. Looking at this equally young military officer, Yan Xing remembered Cao Yuan and others who had set up a battalion.

Although Cao Yuan is only a hundred general of the Northern Army, he is not something Yan Xing can easily recruit. He can only be in love with him for the time being. He is still a soldier of the Northern Army in name, but he is temporarily transferred to Xu Kun's command to serve him. Coincidentally, Yan Xing sighed that he was "handling things well and being a famous general" and was also from Hedong. He happened to be from the same county as Xu Huang in front of him.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them more for help. Shusheng has a view of the overall situation and dares to take responsibility. Although Gong Shi was reckless, he was brave and good at fighting. Ji Qi had achieved great success after training. Yuan Shan was good at writing documents and writing. Confucius said, 'If three people walk, there must be my teacher', and Gong Ming should also encourage him!"

"All the lords in the army are talented and good at fighting. Huang Chu was in charge of the affairs of the Hou garrison. He will follow the wishes of the army and ask for help from you!"

Xu Huang quickly agreed, Yan Xing nodded before turning to Cao Yuan again, and he said:

"Cao Jun and others are both from the same county as Gongming. Gongming can also have more contacts than him, and it can also be beneficial!"

"What the military officer said is really true, and I can't hide it from it. I had many exchanges with each other when I met Cao Jun and others on the day. When it comes to their hometowns, they also talk about the battle formation. Cao Jun and others are all talented, and Huang is also sincerely admired!"

When Yan Xing heard Xu Huang praising Cao Yuan and others' talents, he also became curious. He praised Xu Huang for having "talented as a general" because he had the experiences of later generations, and praised Cao Yuan as a "famous general" because he admired Cao Yuan's methods of acting and temperament.

Yan Xing was also afraid that he would miss many talents by simply using his little prophet. So when he heard Xu Huang also praised Cao Yuan and others for his talents, he wanted to know Xu Huang's observation and insights, so he also asked:

"How can I see it?"

"Mr. Wei is skilled in archery and horses, and has many military affairs. If he is in charge of one, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. However, Mr. Meng is brave and brave in fighting and generous, and is a man who is responsible for his mission. As for Mr. Cao——"

Xu Huang thought about his short relationship with Cao Yuan, thought about the wording, and then continued:

"The army attacked and defeated the enemy in a surprise attack, and also had the power to pursue them. Looking at the generals, they were arrogant and arrogant. However, Cao Jun was calm and composed, repaired the weapons and inspired the soldiers. In the battle of Baibo Valley attacking the pass, he made a decision and advanced. Even if he was injured, he did not retreat. He knew that the enemy was strong and weak, and defeated the bandits. He was so arrogant and famous general!"

Hearing Xu Huang's high evaluation of Cao Yuan, Yan Xing couldn't help laughing. He smiled at his subordinate:

"I also know the talent of Mr. Cao. However, during the battle to attack the pass, the king wore a strong and held a sharp edge and killed the thief's head. The merits should be recorded. It is not to mention his own merits, but to point them to others. It is too humble!"

Facing Yan Xing's point of view that his merits were the first record and he recommended them to others. He was too humble and did not dare to be arrogant. He looked sincere and quickly bowed and said:

"If there was no Cao, and all the kings of Ma were in front of him, how could he have the ability to kill the thief's head through the formation? Huang is not humble, this is a real thing!"

Looking at Xu Huang's respectful and sincere words and deeds, Yan Xingxin felt something, and no longer confronted and argued about who the first merit should be, but said to Xu Huang with deep meaning:

"Jun Cao and others have talent, and they are also from the same county as you. You should have more contacts with them. Although you first arrived in the army, you have both civil and military resources and try to take charge of the affairs of the future. It is like my humerus, and I am the one who plans things. Work together to make contributions on the battlefield and work hard to share fame and fame!"

Xu Huang's brows moved, and he quickly bowed again and responded:

"Huang was guilty, and the Mongolian army waited for rescue and escaped from danger. He also promoted him and followed the army to make contributions to the war. He entrusts us to work together with the army waiter to repay the army waiter for his grace!"
