Recruitment...is this decision made by He Lianrong or Ning Xing?

"How many people have been recruited?" Cao Mu pulled out a horizontal knife and put the tip of the knife on the herdsman's chest. He exerted a slight force and the herdsman screamed, "I don't know, no one is allowed to come close over there, otherwise I will kill you."

"Where?" Cao Mu pressed harder.

"Ouch!" the shepherd howled miserably, trying to hold the blade of the Hengdao with both hands, but he retracted, "Outside the west of the city..."

"It's actually outside the city. It can be seen that there are many people and horses." Ma Yuan said: "We are in charge, it is not easy to get close to Tanzhou City. Let's..."

"Actually, there are many scouts on the periphery. Once we get close to Tanzhou City, there is no danger." Cao Mu said: "Everyone says that there is going to be a war in Northern Xinjiang. If we are held back by the Tanzhou army by then, what kind of war will we have?

?I can only watch helplessly as the Taoxian army attacks.

Damn it! Brothers, follow Yeye and go see the girls in Tanzhou, okay?"

"good!"

Scouts belong to a group of people who wear their heads on their belts. Every attack may be the last.

Therefore, they ignore life and death and enjoy themselves in the moment.

"Walk!"

Fifty rides away.

In a little more than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of Tanzhou troops arrived.

The general dismounted, looked at the three corpses carefully, raised his head, and said with excitement in his eyes, "They are right in front."

The general mounted his horse and said to his deputy: "They tortured the herdsmen, they must want to know the movements of the Tanzhou Army."

"They can't get into the city," the deputy said.

"What attracted them outside the city?" the general spurred his horse.

"Those tribal cavalry in training."

"That's right, even though the commander strictly ordered that no one be allowed to come close to spy on the drills, the loud sound of horses' hooves and the billowing smoke could not be concealed from anyone. These herdsmen probably know something about it. The Tang Army's scouts will definitely go to spy after getting this news..."

"Very brave," the deputy said.

The general said calmly: "The scouts have no courage, so there is no limit to their courage."

"This is an opportunity!" The deputy's eyes were burning.

"Catch them and pry open their mouths, so we can know the truth about Chen Zhou!"

The cavalry disappeared like a whirlwind.

…

Groups of cavalry are forming up.

"Be tidy!"

Xiao Manyan said with a cold face, "On the battle formation, if the formation is scattered, you will die if you go up there. Not only will you die, but it will also disrupt our army's formation. Fight!"

A group of sergeants rushed in and whipped those tribal warriors who disobeyed orders.

"Array up!"

"Anyone who disturbs will be severely punished!"

At the top of the city, He Lianrong looked at the huge formation and said: "The tribal cavalry are brave, but they are scattered. Fighting alone may be invincible, but once they are assembled, they are far from the opponent of our army with the same number of people."

Jin Ze next to him said: "Your Majesty, thirty thousand tribal warriors could make Chenzhou tremble in the past. Now, although the Chenzhou Army has been reborn and has many more troops, with the addition of the Tanzhou Army Headquarters, it can also make Yang

Dogs are afraid."

He Lianrong saw that the formation was changing and became more orderly, and he said happily: "What does the army rely on? Money. Chenzhou used to be poor and could not support a strong army.

After Yang Gou came, he opened trade routes, which gave Chenzhou more tax money and food, so Chenzhou's army expanded. Especially during the Southern Expedition, he became famous in the first battle. It should not be underestimated."

"Reassuring you, after Xiao Manyan's defeat last time, no one will underestimate the enemy." Jin Ze glanced at the proprietor and regretted mentioning this matter.

He Lianrong's expression was slightly cold, "The news of Huang Chunhui vomiting blood should reach Ningxing soon. I don't know what will happen to Ningxing. However, be prepared for a rainy day. Even if Ningxing does not prepare to march south, Tanzhou will attack and use blood

Come and wash away the shame of failure!”

"I judge that Ning Xing will send troops." Jinze said confidently: "Ning Xing has been preparing for a southern expedition for a long time. According to my speculation, he will do so next year at the latest.

A secret spy came to report that Liao Jin had been frequently handling military and political matters as a military governor recently. This was Huang Chunhui's accelerating handover.

If Ning Xing follows the plan and waits for the southern expedition next year, Liao Jin will have completely taken over northern Xinjiang by then, and it will be too late to catch him off guard!"

"But it is unknown what Huang Chunhui's situation is at this moment. If he can still take charge of the army and command the army, then is the southern expedition sure? This is something Ning Xing must consider.

The key is..." He Lianrong said gloomily: "Lin Ya and others are restricting things, making it impossible for Your Majesty to arrange things calmly."

This question makes people sad.

"As soon as a person vomits blood, the fuel is almost exhausted. Huang Chunhui was seriously injured by the widowed master of Eagle Guard back then. It is a lucky thing that he can survive to this day. Once he vomits blood, it means that the injury cannot be suppressed. I assert,

He cannot cope with the war."

"If Ning Xing makes this judgment, he will definitely send troops this year."

Jin Ze smiled and said: "Ning Xing has not yet made a decision, so the envoy will recruit warriors and train the army. As soon as the news of Ning Xing comes, the Tanzhou Army will be able to attack with a large force, and it will be easy to contain the Chenzhou Army!"

"I want to participate in the Southern Expedition, but unfortunately, Yang Gou is on the opposite side. If we can find an opportunity to weaken him during this period, then some elites will be left to contain the Chenzhou Army during the Southern Expedition, and the main force will go south to meet with the larger army.

levy!

!”

He Lianrong's eyes flashed like wildfire.

"Catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared. You must cover Chenzhou Army's sentinels. Otherwise, if Yang Gou knows that 30,000 tribal warriors have been recruited here, how can you catch him off guard?"

"Don't worry, the best scouts have been sent out."

In the distance, fifty riders appeared quietly.

"Oh my God!"

Ma Yuan stared at the huge formation in stunned silence.

"This is...this is the Tanzhou Army?"

Cao Muche immediately stepped forward and rubbed his eyes, "Damn it! No, that armor suddenly looks like... a tribal warrior!"

He was shocked, "He Lianrong has recruited tribal warriors, count them!"

Ma Yuan cursed: "Damn it! This kind of thing was not done overnight, at least it took more than half a year to prepare. What a He Lianrong, he acted meticulously. If we hadn't found out the news today, tens of thousands of tribal warriors would have been training

After that, Chenzhou will definitely be caught off guard when we follow him on the expedition."

The scouts have the ability to quickly count the number of people, and dozens of people take action at the same time.

"Team upright, more than 30,000 people!"

"Twenty-seven thousand seventy-eight!"

"Thirty thousand!" an old soldier said flatly: "That's thirty thousand!"

Cao Mu himself also clicked it, "About thirty thousand, this is an accident that can change the direction of the war... Go back and report it immediately!"

"No! They found out!"

Some cavalrymen discovered them outside. After shouting for a while, hundreds of enemy cavalrymen were sent out to attack.

"withdraw!"

Cao Muche turned his horse's head, took one last look at the formation, grinned and said, "Great job!"

Ta-ta-ta!

The scouts laughed wildly and beat their horses at a gallop.

When it comes to escape, they are the most professional!

"Enemy found!"

Hundreds of riders appeared in front.

The enemy general smiled ferociously and said: "Let's see where you are going to escape! Surround us!"

Blocked from the front and back, there were pursuers behind. Cao Mu changed his color, and Ma Yuan shouted: "The team is in order, what should we do?"

Cao Mu took a deep breath and said, "Pony!"

"Here!" Ma Yuan raised his head and glanced at the south.

"Twenty-five people are left behind. The remaining brothers will be led by Song Er!"

"Dou Zheng!" Song Er, the old pawn, said filial piety, "I am old and would like to stay. It is only then that you, Duan Zheng, will have a son..."

"Listen to the order!" Cao Mu shouted sharply, "Remember, even if there is only one person left, you must flee back and report everything you saw before to the envoy!"

Song Erlao had tears in his eyes, "Take the order! Captain, do you have anything else to explain?"

Every time you come out, it may be your last.

This is Cao Mu's self-deprecation. Today, his self-deprecation met reality.
