The weather is getting warmer. Under the clear sky, several yellow birds were wearing black feathers and combing their newly built nests. Tender green grass grew in the sunny place. The rivers have melted safely. The water in the spring floods, and the dead leaves that have not yet fallen in winter floated on the green water surface, which quickly flowed southward. www.51o.net

With the arrival of spring, the Hebei Battle began again. The Sui army mobilized 100,000 elite troops to station in Zhuojun and Boling County. They were like two teeth with pliers, one north and one west, staring at Hejian County. In addition, another 40,000 troops, led by the commander Xu Shiji, set off from Pujin in hundreds of large ships and arrived in Liyang City, preparing to launch an attack on Hebei from the south.

The Sui Dynasty had only 170,000 troops in the Hedong area, and this time the Hebei Battle mobilized 140,000 troops, almost a vast army.

In mid-February, Yang Yuanqing arrived at the Sui Army camp of Zhuo County under the escort of three thousand cavalry. This time his general changed slightly. He personally served as the chief general of the Northern Army, appointed Li Jing as the Sima of the Northern Army, Pei Xingyan as the deputy general, and Qin Qiong was transferred to Boling County as the chief general of the Western Army, and Luo Shixin as the deputy general. This battle was extraordinary and needed to win with stability. Relatively speaking, Qin Qiong's calmness made him feel more at ease.

The Northern Army Army is located on the south bank of Juma River in the southern part of Zhuojun. There are 70,000 troops. They set up a camp that stretches for nearly ten miles. The military tents in the camp are neat, and soldiers and horses go their own way. In the middle of the camp is a training ground that is nearly five miles wide. There will be troops here to train regardless of day or night.

Yang Yuanqing rode a horse and walked slowly through the horse road next to him. He looked at Yang Sien and led a thousand Modao recruits to train on the field. This was a group of recruits recruited last year. They were mainly from the 100,000 troops. They were tall and strong. According to the standards of Modao soldiers, they could not be less than six feet and five. They had to lift a 100-pound stone lock five times in a row, and they could carry a 100-pound stone lock and run for three miles. The conditions were very strict that one could be selected from nearly a hundred people.

This made the Modao soldiers reach 6,000, and together with the 5,000 heavy cavalry, it became the most elite army of the Sui army.

The shouting sounded like thunder on the school ground. When Yang Sien saw the commander coming, he shouted and waved the Mo sword to Yang Yuanqing suddenly. One thousand soldiers also yelled with him, and at the same time slashed at Yang Yuanqing. The momentum was spectacular. Yang Yuanqing smiled and waved to them, and turned around to ask Li Jing: "Li Sima thinks that if he uses five thousand heavy armored cavalry to fight against the six thousand Mo sword troops, who is more likely to win?"

Li Jing and Pei Xingyan defended the Turks in Dingxiang County some time ago. They did not participate in the Youzhou Battle. After the Sui Dynasty Turks signed a settlement agreement, Yang Yuanqing transferred them back. Dingxiang County only left two thousand troops. In this battle against Dou Jiande, Li Jing served as the Sima of the General March, and Pei Xingyan served as the deputy general of Yang Yuanqing. www.51o.net

Li Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know. If the Modao heavy armored infantry could withstand the first wave of the heavy armored cavalry. Then the heavy armored infantry should have the advantage. If it can't withstand, the heavy armored cavalry can defeat the Modao infantry."

"I think Sima Li's idea is very interesting!"

Pei Xingyan next to him smiled and said, "It's better to let the two armies compete. Whoever is stronger and who is weaker, then don't you understand? Manager, can you arrange it?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled without saying a word and asked Pei Xingyan. "General Pei is very confident in his martial arts. Who do you think has higher martial arts skills than Luo Shixin?"

"Of course I'm a little better." Pei Xingyan replied confidently.

"But I also asked Luo Shixin, and he also said confidently that his martial arts skills are slightly higher than yours. What should I do?"

"Then let's compare, see who is higher and who is lower!"

At this time, Li Jing had already understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, and smiled and patted Pei Xingyan on the shoulder and explained: "The general manager means that if the heavy armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry do not compete, the soldiers will feel that they have two strongest troops. If there is only one left after the competition, the winner is proud, but the loser is deeply hit. It is better to maintain a mystery and make both armies feel that they are the strongest, and give the soldiers double hopes, the same is true for General Pei and General Luo."

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "Li Sima knows my heart!"

They spoke and walked, and soon arrived at the Central Army's tent. Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered: "I order all the generals and above to come to the tent to concentrate. I have something to say!"

...........

The Sui army camp was located on the south bank of Juma River, about fifty miles away from Hejian County. At this time, in Wen'an County, Hejian County, a scout cavalry with more than 100 people was slowly walking on a mountain road with thick shade.

"Uncle Cheng Shi, has my father really owed you five hundred yuan in money for hanging wine?"

In front of the team, the 17-year-old young player Xiao Yannian looked puzzled. He felt a little unbelievable. His father never owed any favors, but the serious look of Uncle Cheng Shi beside him forced him to believe it a little.

Since Cheng Yaojin was beaten to a hundred military sticks last time, his injuries have gradually healed. He was bored in the army. Yang Yuanqing gave him a task to help him lead Xiao Yannian to become familiar with actual combat. Although Xiao Yannian learned real skills from his father Yuwen Chengdu, he had no practical experience. Although Cheng Yaojin is relatively slippery, he has rich experience, especially good at saving lives. This is very important to Xiao Yannian. Yang Yuanqing does not want Xiao Yannian to die on the battlefield.

These days, Cheng Yaojin has been leading Xiao Yannian as a scout in Hejian County and taught him a lot of things. Xiao Yannian was born into a general and was very young. He spent years in strict and closed training. His father Yuwen Chengdu was another extremely serious person, which made Xiao Yannian very simple in his mind. He believed Cheng Yaojin's words and admired him very much.

However, Xiao Yannian was a little unbelievable when he said that his father actually owed him five hundred dollars. Cheng Yaojin smiled slightly, "I just talked about this matter casually, but I didn't mean to ask you for money. Don't get me wrong."

Xiao Yannian nodded silently, and asked curiously for a moment, "My father said that he only owed the love between the late emperor and the general manager in his life. If others do not owe a penny, how could he owe Uncle Shi five hundred yuan? I don't understand. Uncle Shi said, if this is the case, I will definitely pay you back to Dad."

At this time, a soldier stepped forward and blinked and smiled, "General Xiao, don't listen to him talking nonsense. He is cheating on you!"

Cheng Yaojin slapped the soldier away with a slap, and cursed with a smile: "Get out of here, be careful that I will cut you and put you in the wine."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Cheng Yaojin then said to Xiao Yannian proudly: "You know Yang Wei! That big fat man."

Xiao Yannian nodded, "I have seen him, riding a camel, which is unique."

"It's him, this kid is called a desperate man. When he was young, he was a playboy in the capital. He caused trouble all day long. It was about the second year of Daye. Once, he and I drank in a restaurant in Luoyang. As a result, your father led his troops to patrol the streets. At that time, your father was praised as the number one general in the world by the emperor. As a result, Yang Wei was dissatisfied and ran out of the restaurant to challenge him. As a result, your father kicked him into a wine delivery cart at the door of the restaurant, crushing dozens of jars of wine. Your father left, and in the end I paid the money from the restaurant."

Xiao Yannian frowned slightly, "That's it, General Yang Wei owes you the money, it has nothing to do with my father! And dozens of jars of wine are not worth five hundred yuan."

"This... your father's gilded phoenix wings swept, accidentally injured the wine shop and broke one of his arms. I had to pay another 500 yuan in medical expenses."

Although Xiao Yannian was simple in his mind, he was extremely smart. He asked in confusion: "Didn't Cheng Shi's uncle say yesterday that Renshou had been admitted to the second place in the martial arts examination in the fourth year of Renshou, but was beaten by someone, so he left the sad place in Chang'an and never returned to Chang'an and Luoyang again. Why did the streets of Luoyang appear again in the second year of Daye?"

"Maybe... I remembered the time wrongly, haha! It's too long, I won't mention it anymore! I won't mention it anymore!"

But Xiao Yannian understood, and he smiled sly: "Uncle Shi is coaxing me to play!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, reached out and put his hand on Xiao Yannian's shoulder and patted him, "I just want you to invite me to have a drink. You are just a child. How can you really want your five hundred yuan hang money? You are just a joke? Your father and I only met once in Renshou for four years. They competed with him. Damn, I only persisted for twenty rounds and lost. It's so embarrassing."

"But my father said that except for the general manager, he never had a three-way general."

Everyone burst into laughter, and at this moment, a scout rushed from a distance and shouted, "There is an enemy army ahead, with a total of 5,000 people, and is coming towards us, less than three hundred steps."

Cheng Yaojin's face changed and he pulled Xiao Yannian, "Get with me!"

Xiao Yannian said anxiously: "But Uncle Shi, we are scouts..."

"Don't talk nonsense, save your life first and then be a scout."

Cheng Yaojin and Sama were running wildly towards the road to turn back. Xiao Yannian had no choice but to follow him all the way. In fact, according to his idea, the scout should hide, observe the situation of the enemy, and then find a way to capture two prisoners. This is not like the Sui army when they hear the enemy's news.

After running for more than ten miles, everyone stopped slowly. Cheng Yaojin then said to Xiao Yannian: "You have to understand that the enemy is only three hundred steps away from us. You cannot risk hiding at this time. First, escape, extend the distance, and then think about spying on the intelligence. At any time, saving your life is the first priority, and the second is the task. Remember?"

A veteran next to him added: "General Xiao, General Cheng is right. When a scout is in charge, the first priority is not to be caught by the enemy. Otherwise, if the enemy's intelligence is not obtained, we will leak the military aircraft instead."

"The same is true on the battlefield. First of all, you must save your life in order to serve the country. Moreover, if you have no brothers, if you die happily, how can you tell the manager to explain to your father? How can your mother survive in the future?" Cheng Yaojin's face became extremely serious.

Xiao Yannian nodded silently, "Uncle Cheng Shi, I remember it!"

Cheng Yaojin patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Since you call me Uncle Shi, I will naturally not let you scream in vain."

Cheng Yaojin took out another ingot of silver from his arms and threw it down the hillside from a distance. The silver was particularly dazzling in the sun.

"Uncle Shi, what are you doing?" Xiao Yannian asked in confusion.

Cheng Yaojin smiled, "This is bait. After the army passes by later, there will definitely be soldiers who will come back secretly to pick it up."
