It has been almost a month since Liu Hong held the Dharma conference. During this period, Liangzhou was calm and calm, like a pool of stagnant water, and everything seemed orderly.

In the early morning of this day, Yunfeng came to Zhang Lingyun's place as usual. He was the last to arrive every time. He had no choice. Although he got up early, he had to stand and boxing. He could not delay for a day, otherwise his skills would be lost.

He would regress. Unlike others who could go out after breakfast. When he entered the house, Zhang Lingyun, Yang Xuan and Li Bai were already waiting for him.

Seeing Yun Feng coming in, Zhang Lingyun frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "General Yun, our army is about to go on an expedition. You and the other three will quickly follow me to the state capital."

"Uh~?" Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, then he felt happy and saluted: "May I ask, general, why you set out on the expedition?"

"You'll know when you get there, hurry up." Zhang Lingyun glared at him and walked out first. Yunfeng, confused, quickly followed behind with the other two generals.

After galloping all the way, it was already half an hour when they arrived at the state capital. The four of them left their guards outside the mansion and hurried in.

Yunfeng took a quick glance and saw that there were many people sitting in the hall. Zhang Shi was at the top, and others Zhang Mao, Yan Sha, Zhao Yang, and Yang Ming were sitting on the left and right. There were also a few unknown generals.

There was only Dou Tao as a civilian official. All the top military officials were present. As a councilor, Yang Ming naturally had to attend this kind of meeting. The other unknown people must be the generals participating in the expedition.

After paying homage to Zhang Shi, Zhang Lingyun led Yunfeng and others to find a seat and sit down.

Everyone had arrived, Zhang Shi cleared his throat and said: "My lord, it is almost May, and our Jincheng County, as well as Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui and other places in Qinzhou are about to ripen wheat. According to the usual practice, I, Liangzhou, will send troops

To protect the people within the territory from harvesting wheat, we must also look for opportunities to ask Qinzhou for some grain."

After the brief opening remarks, Zhang Shi immediately shouted: "General Fenwei, come forward and listen to the order!"

"We will be here!" Zhang Lingyun excitedly stepped forward and gave a military salute.

Zhang Shi nodded, took out an order card from the table and said: "This time, you will be the commander-in-chief, Dou Tao will join the army, and we will lead our troops, horses and infantry. Ma Ji and Xinyan will go out in three days. Do you have any objections?"

"The general has not taken the order!" Zhang Lingyun was fooled and took the order, then turned around and shouted: "Dou Tao, Ma Ji, Xin Yan and all the generals under the tent, Yang Xuan, Li Bai, Yunfeng come forward to listen to the order!"

Those whose names were called by her came forward together, half-knelt down and responded: "General, please give the order."

"Three days later, the entire army will gather outside the east gate. I hope the generals will be ready, but this expedition will be delayed."

"The general has not taken orders!"

Zhang Lingyun looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "Generals, please return to your positions."

After everyone thanked him, they all returned to their seats.

After appointing Zhang Lingyun, Zhang Shi looked at Zhang Mao and said, "Please General Pingxi to lay out the battle strategy."

Zhang Mao waved his hand back, and two sergeants came up and spread out a map of the mountains and rivers of the two states of Liang and Qin, and then asked below: "Do you have any suggestions for this expedition? It doesn't matter."

In fact, he was just saying this, so the generals just looked at each other, but no one answered. This scene happens every year at this time, and everyone knows what is going on. The main force of the battle is the cavalry, and the infantry is robbing the wheat.

They are the main force and occasionally participate in wars. Over the years, they have relied on thousands of people to fight, and the same is true for the Di and Qiang tribes on the other side. Among the three parties, the Qiang people are the weakest, and Liangzhou is only stronger than the Di people.

A little bit, but Liang and Di did not dare to destroy the Qiang people because the other party would not sit idly by and trigger a full-scale battle. No one was sure of victory. On the contrary, it was very likely that both sides would suffer losses. Therefore, these three parties had concerns about each other.

There are constraints, and a fragile balance is maintained. Moreover, if there are too many sergeants, the consumption of military rations will inevitably increase. It is not cost-effective, so it is better to guard your own borders.

But Yun Feng had just come to Liangzhou, and no one had told him this, so he didn't understand the reason. He stared at the map stupidly for a long time, and then offered his hand to Zhang Mao: "I dare to ask General,

What is the strength of the other three counties? If the three counties ask for reinforcements, how long will it take for the enemy to arrive?"

"Tsk~!" A snort of laughter came from the table.

Yun Feng looked in that direction, and it turned out to be the infantry commander named Ma Ji. After laughing, he probably felt a little rude, so he explained: "General Yun is a new member of our army, so he may not know something. In recent years,

Including our Jincheng side, the military strength on the three-party border has not changed much. The Qiang people are weak, needless to say, and behind Pu Hong is the Xiongnu Liu family. I understand that he would not dare to deploy the eastern front troops to our Liangzhou side.

!Hehehehe~~~”

"Huh?" Yunfeng heard something was wrong, and asked doubtfully: "May I ask General Ma, is the distribution of the troops in these three counties based on detective cavalry or based on past experience?"

Before Ma Ji could answer, Xin Yan beside him became a little impatient. After giving Yunfeng a disdainful look, he answered first: "This has been the case in recent years. There has never been any major changes. Yun Jiang is really

Worry too much."

Yun Feng disagreed and retorted: "The situation in the world is changing rapidly, how can we predict the past? Since last year, although Liu Yao has proclaimed himself emperor in Guanzhong, he has not been able to win the hearts of the people. For example, if the power channel is eliminated, Yang Nandi and Pu Hong

The others immediately established a position behind him. From a geographical point of view, Pu Hong was closest to him, lying on his back. How could he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? It was not expected that Liu Yao would be the first to deal with Pu Hong, or send troops.

Attack, or send envoys to surrender. If Pu Hong surrenders to Liu Yao, then it is very likely that a large army will be deployed on our side of Liangzhou, which will bring unexpected risks to our army."

Zhang Mao still attached great importance to Yunfeng, and was moved after hearing his analysis, so he asked: "What General Yun said should not be ignored. However, I, Liangzhou, cannot send more troops. I wonder if General Yun has any countermeasures for this."

?”

Yunfeng did not answer, but asked: "Is there any news from Chang'an?"

"This~?" Zhang Mao couldn't answer for a moment and looked at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "No news has arrived yet."

Yunfeng thought for a while and said to Zhang Mao: "Since the situation is unclear, I have a suggestion. Why don't we branch out on foot and cavalry, use fast cavalry, and go to Yuzhong to set up camp first, and at the same time send out reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the situation.

We can discuss this later after the infantry troops arrive."

"Hmph~!" Zhao Yang, the infantry commander, couldn't help snorting coldly: "Our army has always marched on foot and cavalry together, so how can we march separately? Is General Yun joking?"

Yunfeng smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "Whether the infantry and cavalry marches will be separated depends on the specific situation and cannot be generalized. This march will be within our territory of Liangzhou, so there will be no accidents. Even so, why not separate the infantry and cavalry?

And when Cao Mengde went to Jingzhou in the past, didn't he also go ahead with five thousand elite cavalry and almost capture Liu Bei alive?"

"You~!" Zhao Yang was at a loss for words for a moment, but was retorted by a young captain. He couldn't keep his dignity at the moment, so he gave Yun Feng a sharp look, turned to Zhang Shi and said, "Please Ping Xigong to make a decision."

Zhang Shi stroked his beard and said to Zhang Lingyun: "Lingyun, since you are the marching commander, how should you deal with it?"

Zhang Lingyun pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Mao: "If my uncle has no objections, my niece is willing to comply with General Yun's words."

Zhang Mao was not in a hurry to answer, and asked Yan Sha, the soldier cavalry: "If the cavalry army sets out tomorrow, can the food and grass supplies be allocated today?"

Yan Sha said respectfully: "General, please rest assured that the food and grass supplies for this expedition have been prepared. General Fenwei will come and collect them in a moment."

Zhang Mao remained silent and then asked Dou Tao, "What are your suggestions for joining the army?"

Dou Tao immediately replied: "Yun said this very well, Dou Tao seconded it."

Zhang Mao nodded and said: "In that case, I will follow what Yiyun said."

After deciding on the marching method, Zhang Lingyun stood up again and said: "The infantry will still be dispatched in three days. The third cavalry army will send personnel today to collect grain and grass supplies from the guerrilla general (Yan Sha). Tomorrow morning (7 o'clock in the morning)

Assemble outside the east gate and march to Yuzhong first along with the general and the army.

"As ordered~!" All the generals participating in the expedition saluted in unison.

After everything that needed to be discussed was discussed, Zhang Shi stood up with satisfaction and said, "That's it for today. Sir, please make your own preparations. When Kaixuan returns from victory, I will drink a celebratory wine with everyone~!"

"Thank you so much, envoy. We will definitely live up to your entrustment." All the generals responded in unison, except Yunfeng, of course. He just talked but didn't make a sound. At the same time, he was a little confused. Could these people have been there beforehand?
