After arriving at the camp with Xu Huang, Yan Xing took Xu Huang and others to leave Houtun's camp. Because there was military affairs, it was estimated that the time agreed with others would be longer. Yan Xing and others speeded up and returned to their own military tent.

As expected, Gan Ling, Ma Lin, Yan Xing, Zhou Liang and others had already rushed outside their tent to wait. After Yan Xing had a few simple conversations with them outside the tent, he asked everyone to enter the tent to discuss matters together.

"Testing horses in the spring of Liuying, and tiger generals talk about war at night." Many generals like to teach opportunities face-to-face at night. On the one hand, they act secretly during wartime, and on the other hand, they are mostly because after nightfall, there is nothing to do in the army and they are free to discuss military affairs with military officials.

Yan Xing had also summoned his confidants in the army to discuss military affairs and military strategies at night. Therefore, Ganling, Ma Lin, Yan Xing and others arrived on time, just waiting for Yan Xing, Xu Huang and others. Although Xu Huang is only the Houtun team leader now, everyone also knew that Yan Xing was interested in promoting him to Houtun general, so Xu Huang also entered the tent, ranked last seat, and jointly participated in the military.

If we follow common sense, military waiters like Yan Xing usually only need to obey the orders of the army Sima, the lieutenant and others, and there are not so many military affairs to discuss. However, Yan Xing is different. He not only pays attention to governing the army, but also pays attention to governing the generals, so the military discussion has been held many times. Faced with this unusualness, not only Xu Huang, who was just a little surprised, but even Zhou Liang, who had participated many times, was amazed at Yan Xing's military management methods that were completely different from other generals and officials of the same level in the army.

First, the military officers reported to Yan Xing in turn the training of the soldiers in his army, the repair of the military weapons, and the tasks of building camps and digging ravines that each person was responsible for. Then Yan Xing made a summary and lecture in front of him about what he saw and heard in the patrol. Among them were praise and criticism. Everyone was focused on it, and then they took out paper and pen to record the mentioned matters.

After finally reaching the end of the formal military discussion, Ma Lin, who bit his pen and frown, wrote a few words crookedly on his paper, and there were some marking symbols that only he could understand. After struggling with a brush to outline the last stroke, Ma Lin, who had been holding it for a long time, could finally breathe out a long breath, throw the brush to the side of the desk, and quickly asked at Yan Xing:

"The army waiter, the soldiers in the camp first attacked and broke through the enemy, broke through Baibo Valley, and then followed the army to pursue the Baibo bandits, and captured countless. Now the defeated bandits have fled far away, and the siege of Linfen City has been lifted. What kind of general Niu Zhonglang should report our merits, and the rewards from the soldiers should be brought down!"

Most of the people who came to Hedong to fight this time were transferred foreign soldiers, and the county soldiers gathered in Hedong before followed Niu Fu to attack Baibo Gu and suffered heavy casualties and were unable to fight again.

Therefore, now foreign soldiers occupy the main body in the army, so naturally the soldiers do not have much desire to protect their hometown, nor do they have the noble awareness of fighting for the people of Hedong. They lick blood from the knife to make a living in order to behead and kill the enemy.

After defeating Baibo's army and relieving the siege of Linfen City, the three lieutenants led their troops to pursue them for a while and returned one after another. The surprise troops led by Xu Kun, Yan Xing and others also returned to Linfen City after a surprise attack and attacking Baibo Valley. Therefore, in the military camp outside Linfen City, it is now a place where foreign soldiers gathered. The soldiers fought bloody battles and fought a great victory. Now it is rare to survive in the battle formation and make military achievements. Naturally, they have to ask for merit and reward from their superiors like horses and Lin.

Gan Ling knew the situation in Linfen City now, and looked at Ma Lin and smiled jokingly:

"Black Charcoal, don't think about asking for merit and reward. General Niu Zhonglang had a defeat before and was trapped in the lonely city. His troops and food were cut off. He had to rely on the young soldiers in front of him to rescue him. Now, the military supplies and food in Anyi and other places have not been transported up yet, and the soldiers' winter clothes have not yet been settled. If you can get a meal of wine and meat to reward, you will have to collect all the treasury in the city. Where can you have other rewards?"

Hearing Gan Ling's words, Ma Lin said with some complaints:

"Then our light cavalry attacked and broke the bandit's nest, followed the army to defeat Baibo and made many military achievements. Wouldn't it be useless to be happy when we were in the third auxiliary!"

"Uh!"

Ma Lin accidentally talked about the past when everyone was a bandit in Sanfu and was robbed. Yan Xing, who was beside him, quickly coughed and interrupted Ma Lin to prevent him from speaking other nonsense.

Ma Lin was interrupted and was a little bored, so he simply didn't speak. Gan Ling spoke again at this time, looking at Yan Xing and said:

"The army is now gathered at Linfen City, winning consecutive battles, while the Baibo bandits and the Huns all fled north, but they didn't know what Niu Zhonglang, Li Xiaowei and others were planning to the army?"

Yan Xing, who was sitting in the head, heard Gan Ling's words, looked up at him, smiled, and did not respond immediately, but continued to be busy with his actions. He was splicing several maps on the table table. He had already taken back the sheepskin maps from Xu Kun, and personally made another paper version with pen and ink, which was also divided into several pieces, covering Longyou, Sanfu, Henan, Hedong and other places, all of which were his footprints throughout the past two years.

After splicing for a while, an irregular overall map was formed. Although from the perspective of accurate proportions in the future, this rough map was really invisible, but it was the place where Yan Xing personally stepped on. The geographical mountains and rivers on the map were marked in detail, which made people see clearly at a glance and clearly the current situation.

Yan Xing carefully gestured on the map again and confirmed that the map of Hedong was still missing a corner of the northern border, then he looked up again and waved his hand to signal Xu Huang to come up. Xu Huang is from Yang County. Yang County is in the northeast of Hehe, and he just happened to make up for the lack of this map in Yan Xing's hands. He had asked Xu Huang to draw a map of the northeast of Hehe in roughly proportions.

After Xu Huang came up, the two worked together to quickly splice the map of Hedong. At this time, Yan Xing finally spoke out and asked everyone in the tent to get to the side of the case. He pointed to the dots marked on the map of Hedong North and said:

"Look, although we have lifted the siege of Linfen City, and the Baibo bandits and the Huns' cavalry have also been defeated to the north one after another, the Xiangling, Pingyang, Yangxian, and Yong'an in the north are still under the control of the Baibo army. Although the bandits are defeated, the main force still exists. General Niu Zhonglang, Li Xiaowei and others are ordered to fight the bandits, so they naturally want to continue to march and recover the counties in the north!"

Although Ma Lin was complaining about the overtime rewards in the army, he looked at the enemy and us who were confronting north and south on the map, as if he was in a battle formation of golden swords and iron horses. He was still very excited and pointed to a dot in the north and said:

"Military Hou, then when will we set out to camp in the northern border and conquer these county towns!"

This issue was also something that everyone was concerned about, so everyone's eyes shifted from the map to Yan Xing, waiting for him to speak out.

Yan Xing pondered for a moment and said:

"I got news from Sima Xu in the morning that within three days, the army is about to set off!"

All the troops gathered in Linfen. Niu Fu, who had already sensed the will of heaven from the witches, immediately convened a military discussion and announced to the captains and Sima that within three days, he would rectify the troops and horses and go north to recover Pingyang, Yong'an and other places.

Although the specific date has not been determined and informed to the entire army, Yan Xing and Xu Kun have a very good relationship. They have learned from him in advance that some of the plans of Niu Fu and the captains and Sima in the military discussion were all his confidants in front of him. Yan Xing also said a general idea of ​​what he knew.

After hearing the news that he was about to march north soon, everyone had their own thoughts. Except for Ma Lin, there was a hint of joy, the others frowned. Yan Xing looked at Xu Huang on the side of the desk and asked:

"Gongming, you are from Hedong and are familiar with the geography of counties and counties in the north. Tell me, how about this advance?"

Xu Huang heard the sound and looked at the dots on the map again. After thinking for a while, he solemnly said:

"The Baibo bandits were defeated in succession, and most of the baggage, food and grass were lost. The morale was depressed. It was indeed a good time to march. I heard that our army's military supplies were also insufficient, and the food and grass transported from Anyi had not been transported yet. At this time, the victory was very happy. However, if there was a slight defeat, I was afraid-"

Xu Kun said here, without directly expressing his concerns. While he was thinking about the words, Gan Ling had already smiled and continued to say:

"Gongming doesn't need to worry, but he will say bluntly that we, like these poor martial artists, have just given some shallow views based on the situation in front of us. I think Mr. Zhou wouldn't mind either!"

As he spoke, Gan Ling's eyes met Zhou Liang's eyes, who were thinking about Zhou Liang's eyes. Zhou Liang quickly avoided Gan Ling's eyes, smiled awkwardly, and said:

"Don't joke, Shusheng, if you are good at military affairs, you should listen to your opinions!"

After Zhou Liang finished speaking, he remembered Li Ru's previous advice to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Li Zhubu was known for his knowledge of people in the past, but when he faced Yan Jun, he underestimated him. Not only was he a talented army with a strong foundation, but the growth of these military officials under him also made him secretly amazed, especially Xu Huang, who was newly enlisted in the army, was both civil and military, and had extraordinary conversation. He really couldn't figure out how Yan Junhou discovered this talent.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liang secretly looked at Yan Xing. He saw that he listened carefully and encouraged everyone to speak freely. He felt that this person's behavior was inconsistent but different from other generals and officials. He seemed sparse but ordinary but could not understand it. His mind was very big. It was just that he hid it deeply in daily life and it was difficult to find the traces of the plot.

Zhou Liang has now stepped on Yan Xing's boat with one foot. As he stepped on this boat for a long time, he unknowingly integrated into this small group. He only occasionally realized his purpose for coming here, so he was a little shaking in his heart. On the one hand, he was happy with his situation of rising water, and on the other hand, he was also amazed at the speed of the small group's growth in secret.
