"See the captain!"

After Zhai Hao entered the tent, he saw Yan Xing in the upper head, and quickly bowed and bowed in a muffled voice.

"Sima Zhai is exempt from gifts!"

Yan Xing's eyes were soft, and he looked at Zhai Hao who was standing up. Zhai Hao's appearance was like a typical Western Liang soldier, with a leopard head, a swallow's chin, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a big beard, thick arms, long legs, and a piece of armor, looking very majestic and magnificent.

After receiving a military report from a soldier coming to Jiangyi, Yan Xing quickly arranged it and left twenty soldiers to guard the county temple, and brought other people to the west gate of Jiangyi by himself.

Cao Yuan was defending the west gate. In addition to sending people to the county temple, Yan Xing also sent people to Xu Huang at the north gate of Jiangyi and Cao Yuan at the west gate for notification.

When Xu and Cao learned that the troops were approaching Jiangyi, they both responded quickly, mobilized the troops and strengthened the city wall guarding forces.

Yan Xing saw Cao Yuan commanding on the city wall as if he was determined, and the soldiers on the city were well-organized, so he couldn't help but secretly praised in his heart.

Although the five Northern Army schools of the Han Empire, including the Liyang Camp, the Duliao Camp, the Huya Camp and other imperial elites have turned into decay, among these former elite soldiers and generals, one or two remaining fire seeds have not yet been extinguished.

Cao Yuan is calm and generous, skilled in military affairs, and is a talented general. With time, he will be able to shine brightly and take charge of the side.

After Yan Xing brought his men and horses to meet Cao Yuan, Yan Xing from the barracks outside the city once again sent soldiers to the city to inform him. The army that came to Jiangyi had already raised the banner, which was the first battalion of Xiliang soldiers who were stationed in the third battalion of Jiangyi. Yan Xing had asked the surveillance scouts to contact them, and at the same time, he also sent people into the city to inform him again.

This was almost the same as the expected result when Yan Xing was in the county temple before. Yan Xing immediately left the city and went to the barracks outside the city, and sent someone to send orders to ask the Xiliang soldiers to return to their original camp, and the Sima, who led the troops, came to meet at his barracks.

However, the Xiliang army was ordered to go immediately, without delaying the military order at all. After Zhai Hao, the leader, settled nearly a thousand Xiliang cavalry in the original camp, he only brought a few personal soldiers to Yan Xing's tent to pay homage to Yan Xing.

This also led to the scene of meeting in the tent just now.

In the big tent, just now when Yan Xing was looking at Zhai Hao, Zhai Hao, who was standing up, also took the opportunity to look at Yan Xing's big tent. He saw that Yan Xing's big tent was a little different from other Xiliang soldiers and generals. In the big tents of other Xiliang soldiers and generals, there were all military officers covered with all their bodies. In Yan Xing's tent, in addition to the military officials, there were actually civil servants.

This fell into Zhai Hao's eyes, which made him amazed in his heart. However, he was not interested in the civil servants. After looking at Xi Zhicai and Zhou Liang on the left, he felt that the white-faced civil servants and the yellow-faced civil servants were not surprising, so he turned his attention to the military officers on the right.

Because when Yan Xing left the city, Meng Tu led a hundred cavalry to stay in the city, and together with Xu Huang and Cao Yuan, he was alert to the powerful men in the city. So when Zhai Hao saw it, three military officers, Ma Lin, Yan Xing and Wei Xuan, were kneeling on the right one in turn.

Ma Lin has a dark skin and a stout figure, not inferior to Zhai Hao, while Yan Xing's face has a sharp look and his eyes are stern. Wei Xuan has a thick arms around his eyes and can tell at a glance that he is a good person who is good at shooting.

Zhai Hao glanced quickly and noticed everyone's characteristics. Then he quickly restrained his eyes. Yan Xing, who was sitting in the head, saw his actions and didn't mind his bold behavior when he was just a new arrival, and he smiled and asked about the war ahead.

The first battalion of Xiliang soldiers led by Zhai Hao guarded the defense line of Jiujishan, while the other two battalions of Hedong County soldiers guarded the Fenshui line.

This arrangement falls into the eyes of a discerning person, and you can tell at a glance that it is an inappropriate military arrangement. Zhai Hao led all the Xiliang cavalry. When they used them to defend the Linfen coast, they only needed to station troops and send scouts to take charge of the enemy situation and prepare to attack the Baibo thieves crossing the river at any time and anywhere.

This is much better than sending Hedong County soldiers, which are mostly infantrymen in the two battalions, to deploy defenses everywhere along the Linfen coast. And it is more appropriate to use a group of infantry to defend the dangerous passes of Jiuji Mountain than to use Xiliang cavalry.

However, the troops stationed in Jiangyi turned around and asked the cavalry to guard the mountain roads and the infantry to guard the plains on the river bank.

When Yan Xing arrived in Jiangyi, he also saw that the troops were arranged inappropriately. However, at that time he was thinking about dealing with the illegal officials of the county temple. Moreover, after he sent a messenger, the soldiers and horses on both sides of Jiuji Mountain along the Fen River were not unexpected. They both reported that they were strictly deploying defenses and should not withdraw. The soldiers only had to stand by and wait for the enemy and guard the defense line.

Yan Xing temporarily put aside the military affairs in these two places.

But at present, the county temple in Jiangyi has been controlled by Yan Xing, and it is time to turn his attention to the military situation ahead. Therefore, when Yan Xing met Zhai Hao, the first thing he asked about was the defense situation of Jiuji Mountain.

When Zhai Hao talked about the military affairs, he immediately became interested and reported to Yan Xing a series of things about repelling the Baibo thief who was feinting attack.

According to Zhai Hao, there were more than 10,000 Baibo thieves in Xiangling City, and he had attacked several times before. This time, although the Baibo thieves in Xiangling were ready to bypass Jiuji Mountain to attack Jiangyi, Zhai Hao, who was guarding the dangerous side, found that there were not many whitebo thieves, but were feint attacks. So two days ago, he took advantage of the weak and careless attacks of the Baibo thieves, and he stood out to the surprise troops, defeated the Baibo thieves who were feinting, and killed dozens of heads.

After seeing his feint attack being seen through, the retreating Baibo thief retreated overnight and returned to Xiangling.

So, Zhai Hao, who had won another battle, left two hundred soldiers and horses, stayed at the dangerous mountain road and then led his troops back to Jiangyi.

After Zhai Hao finished talking about the war in Jiujishan, Yan Xing thought for a while and asked:

"Sima Zhai, if it was as you said, the Baibo thief in Xiangling was a feint attack. As far as I know, the Baibo thief in Linfen has not crossed the river to attack. Then you see, where is the main force of the Baibo thief intending to attack?"

Zhai Hao's answer was quick, and he almost blurted out.

"I think it's Pi!"

As an important city west of Hedong County, the Pi family is not only rich in iron ore and wood, but is also separated from Zuofengyi of Sanfu. From Longmenjinkou there, you can cross the river from east to west and enter the Sanfu's land.

The Baibo army was restricted by the mountains and terrain and has always been traversing in Taiyuan, Hedong and other places. Because it was crowded with people and bandits everywhere, the military rations needed were also obtained by capturing cities and territories. Now, Taiyuan and Hedong counties have been greatly harmed by the Baibo army. It is impossible for the Baibo army to use the original methods to strengthen their strength in the old places.

Therefore, Baiboqu commander Guo Tai and others were eager to find a new way out for themselves. If they could defeat the Pi family, they would occupy Jinkou, which crossed the river. The pattern of the Baibo army would be greatly expanded, not limited to Taiyuan, Hedong. They could attack and retreat. Whether it was for the army to eat or strategic transfer, it would be of great benefit.

It seems that although Zhai Hao looks rough, he still has some vision in military affairs.

Zhai Hao's thoughts were the same as Yan Xing thought, but Yan Xing did not continue to ask Pi, but changed the subject and asked:

"It seems that Sima Zhai is also a familiar person with military affairs. The captain had a question in his mind, why did you garrison his cavalry at the dangerous pass of Jiuji Mountain? It should be noted that the cavalry of Xiliang is conducive to plain attacks and is shorter than mountain guarding dangers. You have repeatedly repelled the Baibo bandits, not because the soldiers and horses are good at fighting, but because the Baibo bandits are feint attacking and are unwilling to fight hard, so they are slightly frustrated and withdraw their troops and return."

"But in the long run, it will undoubtedly place the lives of the men and women on the dangerous ground. Once the Baibo thieves send all their elite troops to attack the dangerous and narrow areas of the mountain road, your cavalry will not be able to advance to break the enemy. If you retreat, you will be trapped in the dangerous situation. The cavalry will dismount to defend the enemy, and there will be no foreign aid on the mountain road. Wouldn't you be seeking death?"

These words made Zhai Hao speechless. He was originally talking about the military affairs ahead, but he opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word.

After a while, the bearded military man sighed to the sky, his armor leaves trembled, and then he apologized to Yan Xing, saying:

"The subordinates are guilty of placing troops and horses lightly in danger. However, the subordinates have always been incompatible with the soldiers of Hedong County. They are unwilling to defend the dangerous mountain roads and passes, and their subordinates are unwilling to live with them, so they can only lead their troops to garrison the Jiuji Mountain line."

The soldiers of Hedong County were unwilling to leave the defense line along the Fen River coast, and Yan Xing, who controlled the county temple, could also guess the reason.

That is because the temple in Jiangyi County indulged the smuggling of salt and iron under his jurisdiction and traded with the Baibo thieves for profit. The official road from Fen River to Jiangyi cannot be missed and must be in the hands of their own people. Fan Sima and Fan Yong, the soldiers of Hedong County, happened to be the sons of the Fan family.

However, the disagreement between Zhai Hao and the Hedong County soldiers was something Yan Xing had never expected. However, looking at Zhai Hao's expression just now, it did not seem like a fake look. Combined with his previous words and deeds, it is indeed very likely that the Xiliang soldiers in this camp had a gap with the Hedong County soldiers.

So Yan Xing continued to ask.

When Yan Xing asked why he had a grudge with his fellow comrades in the army, Zhai Hao was a little helpless, but when Yan Xing's inquiry was unexpectedly hidden from Yan Xing, who was also in the Western Liang army, and he could only briefly explain his own situation.

It turned out that Zhai Hao was addicted to alcohol and committed military laws many times when he was under Niu Fu's command. However, because he was brave in fighting, he saved Niu Fu once on the battlefield. The military discipline of the Xiliang soldiers was not strict, so he was mostly a minor punishment for him. But the most serious time later, when he was drinking with Sima in other troops, he had a quarrel while drunk. Zhai Hao, who was confused, got angry and drew his sword and injured another Sima's arm.

He gathered to drink, and injured people while drunk, and injured Sima, who was close to Niu Fu. These crimes were originally enough to lose their heads. Fortunately, Baibo was rampant and the situation in Hedong was corrupt. It was the time when he was employed that he was allowed to make meritorious service with his crimes. He led his troops to Jiangyi by Niu Fu to defend against the attack of Baibo thieves.

When Zhai Hao first came to Jiangyi, Fan Yong and others were quite considerate to him, and they were constantly feasting for many days. But when the other two battalions of Hedong soldiers were also transferred, the lies about Zhai Hao were demolished.

Fan Yong and others treated Zhai Hao, a military man who was sent to the front line and had no background in the Xiliang army, and immediately looked down on him a little, and his original attitude also changed subtly.

In anger, Zhai Hao, who was neglected, also went to find the soldiers of Hedong County to make trouble, but the two camps of Hedong County soldiers had already spoken together with Jiangyi County Temple to fight against Zhai Hao, the group of Xiliang soldiers openly and secretly.

The weak Zhai Hao Mingli could not fight them, and secretly ate several secret losses from Fan Yong and others on the military supplies valley. Angry, Zhai Hao simply took advantage of the name of defending against the Baibo thief and led his troops to the dangerous place in Jiuji Mountain, and only sent people back on time to ask for food and grass, and cut off contact with the soldiers of Hedong County.
