"Our army lacks food and grass, and its power is difficult to maintain for a long time. Even if the Baibo bandits have no fighting spirit, it is difficult to compete with our army's victorious army. They just need to guerrillas and rush to Taiyuan north or Xihe west, and retreat to advance, and our army will find it difficult to win completely, so they will fall into a deadlock."

Although there is no specific map of Bingzhou counties on the table table, Xu Huang is familiar with the geography of the north and clicks a few times in the northwest of the map, pointing out the direction in which the Baibo army might continue to flee.

Yan Xing looked west and north and nodded. The Baibo Army was originally a bandit who rose up in Baibo Valley and wandered around Bing, Ji and Hedong. Later, after it gradually grew stronger, it returned to the old Hedong area to conquer the city and conquer the land.

Now, the white-bo bandits such as Guo Tai were injured in Hedong, and their vitality was damaged. It is very likely that they would use the same trick again. After looting all the counties in the north, they continued to flee north, and flee to Taiyuan in Bingzhou in the north, plundering the good horses from the border areas, taking away the refugees, accumulating strength again, restoring their vitality, and then returning to Hedong to compete with Dong Jun for power.

Although the Dong army recovered Pingyang, Yangxian, Yong'an and other places in the north, they had insufficient food and supplies. They could only sigh at the plundered counties, and naturally they were unable to pursue them. However, the Baibo army that was wandering into Bingzhou could fight back anytime and anywhere. In this way, either the counties northeast of the river were lost again, or they were caught in a tug-of-war with the Baibo bandits who were wandering.

"Advance cannot be defeated, and retreat will lead to a loss of power. This will lead to the army being trapped between the county towns in the north!"

When Xu Huang said this, he stretched out his finger and drew a large circle on several counties north of Hedong County on the map, and then clicked heavily in the center of the circle.

After hearing Xu Huang's final summary, everyone looked thoughtful and looked at the map without opening.

Yan Xing looked at Ma Lin, who looked happy from the beginning to the point of turning to solemn, and asked with a smile:

"Gong Shi, after hearing what Gong Ming said, do you think you still have to continue attacking?"

"Observe, you will naturally have to attack, and you will also have to force your army to fight urgently!"

Ma Lin, with a serious expression, blurted out without hesitation when facing Yan Xing's inquiry.

"Oh, why?"

"Since our army is short of food and grass, and the bandits are escaping, we should take advantage of the situation to catch up and select elite soldiers in the army, and drive forward. If we can kill the White Bo thief heads such as Guo Tai, we will have already won this battle. Even if there are other bandits scattered, they will not cause any big trouble!"

When Ma Lin was excited, he spitted everywhere, and followed Xu Huang to point out a few dots on the map, as if he had led the elite troops and drove straight in. The Baibo thief who was not in time to escape in the future was wiped out in one fell swoop.

After hearing Ma Lin's words, Yan Xing disagreed and shook his head and said:

"Although our army is not as good as food, it is not without food. Although the Baibo bandits were defeated, it is not without power to fight. The Hun cavalry rushed fiercely. Our army only selected elite troops and drove deep into the army. I am afraid it is not a good strategy. It is better to prepare for war, show weakness to the enemy, and make a confrontation. Most of the Baibo bandits are greedy for money, so how could they be willing to leave these captured counties easily and wait for them to underestimate the enemy and relax, and the food and grass in the rear of our army will be transported again. At that time, we will march forward to a large scale to attack chaos and attack labor with leisure, and we will definitely defeat the Baibo bandits!"

Yan Xing's plan happened to be the opposite of Ma Lin. Ma Lin values ​​urgent war, while Yan Xing focuses on delayed war. Yan Xing does not restrain his subordinates from expressing their own views. The two were about to debate. At this time, Gan Ling also intervened. He pointed to the county town north of Hedong County on the map and said:

"Everyone has a reason to fight quickly and slowly. However, in addition to Hedong, there are also Bingzhou counties and counties in the north. If Bingzhou can send a group of troops to guard the important mountains and rivers that flee north to Taiyuan County, no matter how many of these Baibo bandits are, they will be trapped in this corner. At that time, our army can be slow or urgent and win the entire victory!"

After each of the three of them made their own remarks, and Xu Huang's previous geographical analysis, most of the situation of confrontation between the north and south between the enemy and us was pointed out after all the efforts of everyone.

Zhou Liang touched the sparse short beard under his jaw, and listened to everyone talking about the battle situation in Hedong, and then suddenly asked:

"Military waiter, since our army is about to march northwards today, I don't know which troops are used as the vanguard?"

This is also a very important issue. At present, Dong's army and Baibo's army are confronting north and south in Hedong. If they want to break the deadlock, the forward troops must be elite enough to take advantage of the victory to defeat the Baibo army and the Huns coalition, which still have the advantage.

However, after hearing this time, Yan Xing shook his head rarely and said:

"I don't know this either. I'm afraid that the candidate for the striker is the only general Niu Zhonglang in the army now knows!"

After saying that, Yan Xing also smiled slightly and added:

"However, I heard that General Niu Zhonglang was eager to defeat the enemy. Maybe even this forward would have to go on the battlefield in person again!"

"This is too risky. It's okay to go north and march north. The chief general is going to go into battle himself?"

When Ma Lin heard that the General Niu Zhonglang in the army was going to fight again, he couldn't help but startle. In his opinion, General Niu Zhonglang was defeated in the previous attack and was surrounded by bandits in Linfen City. He could not move. It was because of their foreign soldiers who fought bloody battles to relieve the siege of Linfen. Now he is going to take the risk of marching in person. Could it be that he is protected by the gods and can turn bad luck into good luck every time?

Gan Ling, Xu Huang and others looked at each other, and felt that if it were as Yan Xing said, Niu Fu who made this decision would be too anxious and arrogant. However, they were all steady people. The news in front of them had not been confirmed yet, so they could not criticize the general in private.

Yan Xing could understand some of Niu Fu's mood at this moment. The situation in Luoyang City is now turbulent, and the war in Hedong has been given high hopes by Dong Zhuo. Niu Fu has already lost a battle before. If he cannot show any other achievements and the Bai Bo army, who is sitting in confrontation, then his position as the head general of Hedong will really be at the forefront.

Moreover, in addition, Yan Xing also heard another news that Niu Fu decided to lead his troops north to attack Baibo's army.

"Yuan Shan, will this Niu Zhonglang still offer witches in the camp?"

Yan Xing looked at Zhou Liang and talked about the complex situation in Dong's camp, he, the veteran in the army, knew a lot.

Zhou Liang nodded after hearing this and said:

"General Niu Zhonglang Chongxin divination. In the past, when he was under the command of the Taiwei, all major and minor matters were decided by the Taiwei and Li Zhuzhu. Now, the war in Hedong is the only one who decides to decide by Niu Zhonglang. I am afraid that there will be omissions, so I borrow more of the power of ghosts and gods."

"The army has its own laws and regulations, and it is not too much for them to bring women into the camp privately."

Shortly after Xu Huang first entered the Dong army, he still did not know the bad deeds of many Dong army soldiers. At this moment, he heard that Niu Fugui was a general of the Central Army and used military decisions to make decisions based on the words of Wu Bu. He couldn't help but frown and said,

Zhou Liang glanced at Xu Huang, knowing that Yan Xing attached great importance to this newly recruited military officer and did not dare to underestimate the other party. He also continued:

"Jun Xu said this very much. Speaking of which, the soldiers in the army also spoke a lot about this. It is said that these witches do have magical powers and can get help from ghosts and gods. Even those young witches are extremely beautiful, but General Niu Zhonglang cannot do without these people for a moment!"

After speaking, Zhou Liang's words had become a little ambiguous. Gan Ling, Ma Lin and others also heard his implicit meaning and laughed.

Ma Lin, who had come back to his taste, held his black face and said to Xu Huang with a smile:

"Speaking of this, we have seen a lot of witches and divinations in Liangzhou. Whenever the Qiang and Hu invaded, the wizards in the tribe must first worship ghosts and gods with cattle, sheep and blood and food, and ancestors, and divination to inquire about misfortunes and good fortunes, and then gather the tribes and tribes to send troops."

Ma Lin Yuanyi wanted to tell Xu Huang about this marching and war, and it was common to use the power of witches, ghosts and gods. He, Gan Ling and Yan Xing were both people from the border areas. He was used to these witches, and he was no longer surprised.

After hearing Ma Lin's words, Xu Huang shook his head and expressed disagreement. He said seriously:

"Brother Gong Shi is such a bad word. War is a major matter of the country. The place of life and death, the way of survival and death must be observed. The customs of the Qiang and Hu are not a way to win. If you allow such witches and divinations to marches, use troops in every matter, advance and retreat, and ask ghosts and gods, and hand over the lives of the soldiers to the hands of these witches, wouldn't it be ridiculous!"

Facing Xu Huang's rebuttal, Ma Lin was not angry, but he could not agree with Xu Huang's attitude of despising ghosts, gods, witches, and Bu, so he also said seriously:

"Gongming, I can't agree with you. Although I, the old Lin Bings, did not read much, but I still knew a lot during this battle formation. In ancient times, Chiyou and Huangdi fought in the wilderness of Jizhou. Chiyou used Fengboyu troops. Huangdi first invited Yinglong, then served as the Heavenly Girl and the Empress, so that Chiyou could defeat Chiyou. Among Huangdi and Yandi, Huangdi also drove the power of tigers and leopards to defeat Yandi. How could you say that these witches, divinations, ghosts and gods were not used for military affairs?"

When he heard that Ma Lin had brought out the two battles between the ancient Huangdi, Yandi, and Chiyou in Zhuolu and Banquan to confirm the current affairs of the witch, Bud, ghosts and gods in the army, Xu Huang couldn't help but shake his head again. He couldn't help but speak up and defend himself again.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ling next to him also smiled and said bluntly:

"The Gongming, the military strategy also said, "Therefore, he used five things to solve them and asked them for their own ideas: one is Tao, two is heaven, three is earth, four is general, and five is law. The "Tao" and "Heaven" are still ranked before the "General". How can we say that with the help of the power of witches, ghosts and gods, it is not the way to win?"

Hearing Gan Ling also spoke, and Yan Xing was eager to try and wanted to interrupt, Yan Xing's brow moved and realized in his heart that this military discussion was inadvertently involved in the dispute over regional customs.

Note: "Shan Hai Jing·Northern Classic of Great Wilderness": "Chiyou sent a war against Huangdi, and Huangdi ordered Yinglong to attack the wilderness of Jizhou. Yinglong was in the water, and Chiyou asked Feng Bo, and the rain followed (to the heavy wind and rain). Huangdi then went to the heavenly daughter to call him Wu, and the rain stopped, so he killed Chiyou."

"Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of the Five Emperors": (Huangdi) "Teach bear, pixiu, snatch tigers to fight with Emperor Yan in the wilderness of Banquan. After three battles, he then gained his ambition."
