Chapter 16 A Little Trial

As a general, he needs to be proficient in all kinds of weapons, but Xiao Yi has difficulty in mastering the word "proficient in a short period of time. However, he has practiced hard and has become familiar with it.

Compared to others, Xiao Yi's progress in martial arts has been considerably faster, but Xiao Mohe is not satisfied. Perhaps everyone who is a father will have the same mood to hope that his son will become successful.

However, on the other hand, Xiao Yi learned the military books and strategies needed by the generals at one point, and learned them at one point. This made Xiao Maha very satisfied, because he was a shortcoming in this regard, and he had always relied on the assistance of the chief official Liu Shijing to achieve his achievements today. Now that his son is both civil and military, he would be happy to sleep at night when he was a father.

However, what Xiao Yi lacks at present is practical experience.

In response to this, Xiao Mohe found Shangguan Wudi and Nangong Ao, and asked them to assist Xiao Yi in completing actual combat accumulation.

Shangguan Wudi directly proposed to take Xiao Yi to the border to fight against the Turks on the grassland, while Nangong Ao believed that it would be safer to go step by step, first find some horse bandits nearby to practice, accumulate some experience in facing the enemy and then go to the real battlefield.

Undoubtedly, the word "safety" touched Xiao Maha's heart. So he agreed with Nangong Ao's proposal and took Xiao Yi to suppress bandits in Bingzhou first. After accumulating experience, he took Shangguan Wudi to the grassland outside the pass to fight against the real Turkic enemy.

The people of Bingzhou were strong in customs, and because they were located in the frontier, they could not survive without being strong. Although the Great Sui Dynasty lived in peace with the Turks in the north, it only means that there was no war in the general direction. The Turks crossed the border and plundered them, which was inevitable.

With the strong customs of the people, horse thieves and bandits occupy the mountains and become kings. More than a dozen bandits of all sizes in Bingzhou were from the south. Since more than 30,000 people under Xiao Maha were from the south, most of the locals were dissatisfied, most of these bandits and horse thieves were concentrated in the area around Mayi County, the defense area of ​​Xiao Maha, and three of them were in Mayi.

For a long time, the generals and soldiers of Xiao Maha's troops missed their hometown. As surrendered soldiers, they naturally looked forward to the day of restoration of the country, so they did not work hard to suppress the bandits. Over the years, they did not violate the rivers with the major bandits and the horse thieves.

The Han King Yang Liang had just been in charge of the Bingzhou General Manager not long ago and was already dissatisfied with Xiao Maha's troops not doing anything. Therefore, Xiao Maha happened to kill two birds with one stone, appoint Xiao Yi as the vanguard You Yi (pioneer), Pang Zhen as the marching chief officer, and led 300 cavalry and cavalry soldiers to start sweeping away the bandits in Mayi County.

"Why are there only three hundred people? At least I will give me three thousand people to make me more powerful."

Xiao Yi was a little dissatisfied. His father had 30,000 troops in his hands, and he could be transferred at will on his territory. He was really stingy to only give him 500 people.

The chief clerk Pang Zhen beside him smiled and said, "The Major General doesn't know. If the lord really gave the Major General three thousand troops to suppress the bandits, it would be endless in that year and a half. Because there were only three bandits in Mayi, and the largest Black Wind Village was only more than 500 people. If the army was used to conquer the bandits, the bandits would have run away long ago. The army consumed a lot every day, and we are the surrendered soldiers from Nanchen again. The supplies were not so easy, so we naturally couldn't wait. Once the army retreated, the bandits would come back soon. Wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"

After hearing Pang Zhen’s explanation, Xiao Yi immediately understood.

Well, three hundred is three hundred. We are also a seed player of ten thousand enemies. One person is enough to wipe out the bandits in Mayi, hehe...

Xiao Yi was in his heart and accompanied by Pang Zhen to the military camp to order the troops.

Although there are only three hundred people, they can be seen that they are all elite soldiers. Eighty-strong armored cavalry, one hundred swords and shields, sixty horses and spears, and sixty archers. Without baggage troops, they bring their own food for ten days, and they can fight quickly.

Obviously, Xiao Moha nominally led the army to take charge, but in fact, only Xiao Yi and his 300 soldiers were actually involved in the suppression of bandits. Just like later generations, it was Xiao Moha who was building a stage for his son. As for how he sang, it depends on Xiao Yi’s own ability.

Before Xiao Yi went to war, Xiao Moha specifically asked him what strategy he would adopt.

"My father only needs to publicize the date of the army's expedition to suppress the bandits with great fanfare. The child set out ten days in advance, never get tired of cheating, and attacking him with unprepared strategies."

Xiao Maha nodded and smiled and said, "It's great! Just follow your plan! But although the other party is a bandit, there are many good players. Remember not to be kind to fight against them and beware of their fraud."

"Children understand!" Xiao Yi said: "There are many of these bandits who have lives, so they will not show mercy."

This is what Xiao Maha wants. He was really worried that Xiao Yi would not dare to kill people, and those bandits were not very loyal to men and women, and they would be plotted against by them if they were not careful.

The father and son said something more, mostly of concern.

At the fourth update, Xiao Yi was dressed in a neat manner with his helmet and armor, and he secretly left the military camp with Pang Zhen.

Xiao Mohe was worried that if he moved, he would be noticed by the bandits and then affect his son's plan, so he did not come to see him off. He just climbed the city tower in the name of patrol and looked out from afar.

After traveling about twenty miles, Pang Zhen asked, "Where is the Major General going to start first?"

Xiao Yi asked back: "If the army conquers, where will the bandits run?"

Pang Zhen replied: "The north of Mayi is the Turkic grassland, the west is the deserted desert, the south is the official road to Taiyuan, the base camp of King Yang Liang of Han, and the east is Wushan. They will escape into Wushan to take refuge."

Xiao Yi said: "Only our first attack was unexpected. That is to say, if we take down the first bandit, the other two bandits will notice it. They may escape eastward into Mount Yu to take refuge. So in order to wipe out these three bandits, we will start with the bandit closest to Mount Yu."

Pang Zhen frowned and said, "That is the biggest bandit Black Wind Village, with a population of 500 people. But the question is how we can bypass the two in front without being noticed."

Xiao Yi immediately smiled and said, "So I asked my father to send troops ten days later. We used this period of time to disguise ourselves as a caravan. Maybe we didn't have to go up the mountain to find them, and they wouldn't be able to help going down the mountain to do some votes. After all, we have to move, so why don't we get more money?"

Pang Zhen suddenly showed joy and said, "The Major General is wise and admires his humble position."

Xiao Yi had already asked someone to prepare a disguise, and everyone disguised as a caravan and drove directly towards the Heifeng Village.

Heifeng Village is located at the main peak of Bailang Mountain. It has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are more than 500 bandits entrenched on the mountain, and the leaders are Nie Haiwen and Nie Haiwu, the two brothers who were nicknamed Black and White Evils, who were nicknamed Black and White Evils.

Nie Haiwen was quite wise, and his younger brother Nie Haiwu had some skills, so he went to Bailang Mountain to build Heifeng Village and became a bandit.

In recent years, they did not violate the rivers with the local government and the garrison, but Nie Haiwen still left a spy among the government and the garrison. However, Xiao Maha's troops were all from the south, and it was difficult to enter the internal core level, so they paid great attention to Xiao Maha.

After learning that Xiao Maha was forced to pressure from the Han King for ten days, he led a large army to suppress the bandits. Nie Haiwen had no suspicion around Xiao Maha, so he was unsure and summoned his subordinates to discuss how to deal with it.

Some of the subordinates did not want to be a good Black Wind Village to be destroyed and insisted on guarding them by risk, while others knew that they could not fight the officers and soldiers suggested retreating.

Nie Haiwen weighed the pros and cons. If he retreated, Heifeng Village would definitely be destroyed by the officers and soldiers, and the losses would naturally be quite large. Not retreating to compete with tens of thousands of troops is tantamount to seeking death. In the end, he compromised the opinions of both sides and suggested that he should first make a big vote and get more money and then retreat, and wait until the limelight is over before coming back, and he got everyone's consent.

"I reported to the boss and stepped on a fat sheep and passed by Bailang Mountain three days later. There is a lot of oil and water, so it's so hard to get along!"

Nie Haiwen and others burst into laughter. They really wanted to do whatever they wanted and immediately deployed to lead the sheep.
