Chapter 546: Wind and Frost (5)

On October 1st, it was theoretically winter, but in fact the weather did not change at all, and even the traces of the light rain the day before disappeared without a trace.

On this day, the army was erecting the pot and making rice as early as four days ago. The army slowly emerged and was still in line as before. The cavalry protruded with one wing, and the remaining twenty battalions formed a crane wing formation, which was spread out in front of the newly-scale camp.

However, the Guanxi Army was kept in a closed door.

The army immediately dispatched the third battalion of the Central Army, which was just reached, the general marching army that was just reached, was the Wang Xiongdan camp with a very high degree of recombination but hand-to-hand combat camp, the Kan Ling camp, which was mainly spear-oriented and very good at assault, and the Jia Runshi camp with a high degree of recombination but remote projection... The troops of the third battalion broke out in front of the formation, Wang Xiongdan camp was in front, and Kan Ling camp was in the middle but obviously turned to one side. Jia Runshi camp was behind, and immediately occupied the central position of the Guanxi army in the previous battle, and then sent mail cavalry to move forward and wave flags to fight.

And it refers to the name, and he wants to come out with five names, Xue Ting, Xue Li, Xue Liang, Xue Wanbei and Xue Ren, and he says that he only needs three camps to kill the absolute surname Xue in one breath.

Fortunately, Xue Wanquan, Xue Wannian, and Xue Wancheng were not there, otherwise he would have said this and he would not know what trouble would happen.

Of course, there is no trouble at the moment because the Guanxi Army closed the gates of the camp and refused to go out to fight.

Not long after, Liu Hei-gun, who was protruding along the Qinshui, also noticed something was wrong and tried to attack the Guanxi Army camp from the flanks, but encountered the tight defense of the Guanxi Army. After several rounds of arrows, they had to give up and wait for the military orders behind them.

This time, the army had more experience in the battle, prepared early, and the array was completed early. After waiting for a long time, the top leaders of the army could not hold it any longer.

Xiong Bonan fell behind Zhang Xing and immediately spoke: "Chief, General Manager Xu asked you, should you withdraw or pretend to relax and lure the enemy?"

"What did he say?" Zhang Xing did not reply directly.

"He felt that we did not have the experience of tempting the enemy with a large army. We were afraid that we would backfire and cause chaos. It would be better to be more appropriate and withdraw our troops and discuss other things." Xu Shiying did have his own ideas.

"Does the King of Heaven know what I think?" Zhang Xing looked at the camp as wide as a city in front of him without looking back.

"How?" Xiong Bonan was really curious... Since the war started, he always felt that he could not exert his strength, so he wanted to find out his clues.

"I want to go in." Zhang Xing pointed his finger to the far west. "We resisted the day before yesterday, and this battle was actually stabilized. The next thing was to force each other and consume each other... But the more this was, the less we could not be conservative, and our soldiers really needed to be trained... So, they avoided the war, so we went in! Now we withdrew our troops, returned to the camp to build crossbows, stone cannons, and sent a message to Lao Chai, asking him to send tinea oil and firewood!"

Xiong Bonan woke up and immediately rose up the purple mist and left.

After a while, the central army began to intensively convey military orders, and then the flags swayed in an orderly manner, and the sound of small-scale gongs followed. With these, the army alternately covered and the entire army retreated.

Even Liu Hei-gun, who was about to go to the city of Hanoi, also returned to the camp in a panic after receiving the military order.

On this day, there was no war.

Back at the camp, Zhang Xing held a meeting and immediately determined the strategy of supplementing engineering equipment, further improving engineering facilities, and assisting the diplomatic offensive.

Then military orders were issued one after another, requiring the army to enter a rotation state: that is, one-third of the troops carried out military tasks such as defense, reconnaissance, etc.; one-third of the troops assist civilians and reserve battalions in carrying out engineering equipment and battalion reinforcement tasks; one-third of the troops took turns to rest and recreate.

This is of course a good thing for grassroots sergeants, but some people are unhappy.

For example, the single leader of the single head of the sea finally got the opportunity to rotate the entire establishment and personally led the troops. And I heard that the side was "defeated" and wanted to show the attitude of the top general of his army, but this situation was naturally unwilling to accept it.

The other one who is unhappy is Xie Minghe.

That's right, although I said that diplomatic means should be assisted, Xie Minghe only stayed for one day and set off immediately... Bai Sanniang from the south wrote a letter and needed someone to handle the negotiations on Jiangnan affairs for her in the rear. Is there anyone in the gang that is more suitable than Xie Minghe?

In fact, it was Yan Qing who was responsible for diplomacy on behalf of Xie Minghe, and it was Qian Tang who replaced Jing'antai on behalf of Xie Minghe.

Yan Qing was born in Dongdu businessman, and Qian Tang was born in former Wei Jing Antai. Even if some people think that Chief Zhang was using the war to pave the way for his confidant, he had nothing to say... After all, his professionalism and background are in line with each other.

After entrusting all the tasks, including normal military affairs, Zhang Xing also threw them to Xiong, Xu, Mahou, and Zhang Xing began his best job.

That is to organize entertainment and relaxation activities.

First of all, of course, it was a sports meeting. This thing was very exciting. Moreover, the only thing that could be done in the army at this time was this thing... The Long-Tong stadium was specially hollowed out from the busy camp, and four were still in a row, including archery, gun throwing, equestrianism, running in armor, and marching in arrays. Various competitions also came into being, and various lottery heads were hung out, gold, silver, money, and even meat to improve food, equipment priority, and special blind date meetings.

While the sports meeting was held, they took the clerks down to the camp to comfort the soldiers, chat with them, and write letters for them.

"The boss called Shui Sheng, the second brother should not call Zhenying... I want me to say, the boss changed to Zhenbei, the second brother called Zhenxi, what do you think?" Zhang Xing put down his pen and said kindness to the person sitting in front of the desk.

"What the chief says is what the middle-aged Scarface Team, sitting opposite Chief Zhang, hesitated for a moment, and nodded before, as if he was a little reluctant to leave Zhenying and Shuisheng.

Zhang Xing had no choice but to nod and explain it in the letter.

And the middle-aged team will continue to output: "There is another thing to ask my wife to be careful of those hired workers. These people are not slaves who sold themselves in previous years, and they are all slipping! It is inevitable to be lazy. I am not at home, so she should be careful by herself, especially in winter soon. According to the rules, those people will also be dispersed in the middle of October. They must be careful of their things. It is best to let their brother-in-law come over and watch people leave... they should not give too much money to distribute."

Zhang Xing nodded, raised his pen and wrote. The documents standing behind him, namely the new Jinshi Li Yishu, looked straight... Because he saw with his own eyes that Chief Zhang agreed well, the pen and asked the team to hire workers better at home. Some people should not charge interest if they borrow money. When they return home in October, they asked their brother-in-law to help each person give him a set of winter clothes.

However, Chief Zhang was not panicked at all, his face did not blush and his heart was not beating. After writing, he looked up and asked, "Now there is a lot of land at home?"

"There are no more, only eight or nine acres." The Scarface Team will immediately become alert.

"Then you are some landlord!" Zhang Xing was a little surprised.

"It all started from Jiyin and was accumulated through military merits." The team general waved his hand quickly.

"Anyway, it's better than me." Zhang Xing said seriously. "I have a lot of military achievements, but I don't have a single acre of land."

"What else do the chief wants? When you become the king of the country, the whole world belongs to you!" The team general was obviously anxious.

"Nonsense! If this is the case, the king of Wei is now the king of the country, and the world is his? Hebei is not his!" Zhang Xing said with confidence.

The team general became more and more anxious and quickly said, "Can this be the same?"

"What did you say?"

"I said, chief, my land is given every acre of acre!" The team general was also obviously surprised.

"Forget it, I don't want to ask you all this." Zhang Xing waved his hand. "I want to ask you, what if the land in the village is full and there is no land to teach you?"

The team general breathed a sigh of relief, but became serious: "I really thought about it. If I switched to a few acres of land to a place that was not well-known for, for example, to the northern land, I would not be able to accept it. I would not want to go there for half of the more, but the population in the village has increased and I can't move anymore, which is the truth... So, I'll tell the truth, if this generation of children grow up and the land is full, I will teach less, for example, I will give 80% of the land in the past according to military merits, or even 50% of the past."

Zhang Xing nodded and continued to ask: "The local area can only be given 50%, but will it be given 80% to change to Guanxi?"

The team general thought about it carefully, but still shook his head: "No! It's not that I don't obey the instructions of the gang... Chief, when you really issued a military order, I naturally have nothing to say, but I have to choose myself. My wife and children are now in Qiao County, and my parents are also standing there. I have a close relationship with the old ones. The camp is surrounded by the hospital next to Qianjin's leader, so I still don't want to leave."

"But you have to be clear about rewards and punishments." Zhang Xing also sighed. "There will be nowhere at that time...or, now, we are fighting here and there will be no progress. What kind of rewards will be given to us?"

The team general laughed dryly and did not answer.

Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "What if your team leader and the leader also follow us?"

"What does it mean to follow the leader and the chief?" The team will be obviously puzzled.

"If you count military merits and give land, the leader of the army, as well as me and a few leaders, will probably occupy a lot of land, and then there will be chaos, so it has started last year. This time, I will simply stop giving land and instead give it to the shop." Zhang Xing explained seriously.

"It's okay to give it to the shop!" The team lit up his eyes and asked quickly. "But it's hard to deal with it, right? The land is so difficult, let alone the shop, and you have to run on both sides..."

"We don't care." Zhang Xing looked at the other party and smiled. "How can we have the heart to manage the shop? They are all calculated by the share capital and are given to General Manager Cao, Sister Cao, to run it."

The team general suddenly realized, but hesitated again.

Zhang Xing no longer continued to discuss, but picked up his pen and continued to ask: "What else should I write?"

"It's nothing, there's one last thing... Please tell my wife that you should add more when you go to the Dahu family before the New Year. The time is different. Now you have money and food, and you still have the same etiquette as before."

"The pensions on Xingtai are not bad, right?"

"If it's wrong, my first thing I said was to tell the chief... The public is the public, and our brothers are the private."

“Is there any more?”

"It's really nothing, but since the chief is here, it's rare. Please tell my wife again... If I die in front of the battlefield, she can't remarry, and if two children are raised, they can't remarry, otherwise my brothers in the team will find her."

"You guys and mother didn't say this, so they have to say it now?"

"Isn't this the chief here?" the team spread their hands. "She knew that this was the letter written by the chief, so she was frightened and dared not think about it."

"Then I won't write this." Zhang Xing slapped the pen on the desk and pointed at the other party's nose and suddenly started to appear. "From ancient times, from Eastern Qi, Western Wei and Nanchen, who did not encourage widows to remarry? The adopted son of the Huaiyou Alliance did not allow his wife to remarry, and I wrote a letter to scold him. What's the point of writing this to you today? If you don't want to do it, go to Dongyi, where can you still let your wife be buried with you!"

The team general was scolded for being scolded and did not dare to pretend to be stupid anymore, so he could only stand up with his hands.

Zhang Xing ordered the table and continued to ask: "Do you have any words?"

"It's gone." This guy is honest this time.

"Write a name and write a letter." Zhang Xing pushed the letter in front of him.

The team leader quickly lay down and drew three circles at the end of the letter, and brought a small tail. Li Yishu, who was behind the table, lowered his head and stepped forward, assisted the other party in the envelope, and then put it in the basket with his own hands. He was relieved... At first, he felt that this job was a bit priceless, but he could not leave the chief, but now he had been frightened after writing a few letters with the chief.

In this way, after writing several letters, he scolded and praised the people, and asked a lot of questions. It was already half past the afternoon. Chief Zhang left the camp and went to Wencheng City, which was the commander and logistics center. He met a group of soldiers who returned from winning the Longsea victory. He still praised him a few words, indicating that he was going to watch the competition on the morning of the day.

When I returned to the city and entered the county government office before, the atmosphere here was completely different from that outside the city. At least the commanders who stayed here to do their jobs still looked like commanders, and they would never do anything as unfaithful as some people.

In fact, the atmosphere here is a bit solemn.

"What are you talking about?" When he arrived at the backyard, Zhang Xingxian washed his face and wiped his hands from the basin shelf under the withered grape vines. Then he came to ask curiously.

"At the beginning, it was about Han Yingong's affairs. Yan was in charge of diplomacy, so he naturally focused on Dongdu. But he thought that Han Yingong, the man who was the head and rat, is now hanging alone outside the camp, and it may not be impossible to try it." Xu Jingzu quickly explained, and glanced at Li Yishu who followed Chief Zhang in. "Later, everyone started to discuss it, so they simply talked about the beginning and end of the battle..."

"The beginning and end of this battle?" Zhang Xing was a little surprised.

"How can I win this battle?" Xu Dalang also spoke. "Not talking about other places, just talk about the place right now."

Zhang Xing shook his head, and didn't say anything, and he didn't know what his attitude was.

But what was unexpected was that the elites of the military command center in the courtyard were not surprised.

"We also feel that it is difficult to win this battle." Ma Wei, as Wang Yi, was in charge of Wang Yi, and was in charge of it. Although he was a little discouraged, he still had to say it. "Even if our military gradually turned into an offensive, Sima Zheng's attitude was there... When one side retreated and the other side wanted to chase and succeed, Sima Zheng was afraid that he would really stop the winning side, and he was afraid that there would be no result at that time."

"It's not only that." Xu Dalang continued. "This is just a general idea. It's actually difficult to win in detail... Although they stayed behind closed doors, we still had to attack them. It seemed that the situation had changed, but in fact it was just our version that had built the effect. They were afraid that the lower-level soldiers would be shaken... If they really fought, we probably would have suffered a little more."

"So I wondered whether Han Yingong or Han Changmei could be pulled over and occupy their backs." Yan Qing said. "But the idea was simple, but he didn't know how to do it, especially the few people in the escort, who were afraid that they would hate Han Yingong... And when Ma and General Manager Xu continued to talk, they also felt that Han Changmei was unlikely to turn against him. Only Han Yingong was half-hearted. If he could turn against him, Han Yingong would just change the situation and could not really affect the overall outcome of the war, and he would also make his inner dissatisfaction... Then he started to get up."

Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly, as if he was absent-minded, so he went directly to serve a bowl of porridge and brought it to the table under the corridor to drink.

The few people were helpless, and they didn't know whether to continue arguing or reporting, but they continued to talk anyway.

After discussing for a while, Shan Tonghai suddenly stood up irritably, his voice seemed muffled: "This is not OK, that is not OK. Even if you really want ten or eight battles, if you don't have enough progress and gains, why should we win in the end?"
To be continued...
