In the howling north wind, the 12,000 army under Li Zhongyi rushed to the city of Fuzhou in a whistling darkness.

The closer he got to the prefecture, the more vigorous Zhe Congruan became, and his emotions became more and more excited. After all, this was the foundation he led the entire Zhe family and he would definitely not be lost!

The Lingzhou Army's sentry cavalry were scattered far away in units of teams, responsible for the vigilance of the entire army.

According to the accurate information conveyed by the Zhe family's entourage, Tuoba Yiyin has never withdrawn his troops to help Xiazhou, and launched an unprecedented fierce attack on Fuzhou City.

After hearing Tuoba Yiyin's abnormal reaction, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but feel a little respect for this opponent who had never met but had been famous for a long time.

Since Xiazhou has been captured, even if Tuoba Yiyin, who was far away in the prefecture, led his army back in Xingye, he would have saved the fire from the far water.

According to Li Zhongyi's estimate, Tuoba Yiyin is likely to want to take a gamble and capture the prefectures first. After avoiding the strategic dilemma of being attacked from both sides, he then seeks an opportunity to fight the Lingzhou army.

As the saying goes, the soldiers will win. Let’s not talk about other tribes. The warriors of the Tuoba tribe, most of their families live in Xiazhou City.

Most of the grassland herders have a barbaric wolfish nature, but they are not in harmony on weekdays and do not have unified organizational training, which has led to their temperament of being able to win the battles with the wind.

The dog that guards the family is actually the most ferocious mastiff!

Now, after losing Xiazhou's old nest, the Tuoba family has no choice but to fight with Li Zhongyi.

As the army was moving silently, the terrifying and shrill bamboo whistle suddenly passed through the cold night sky and came into Li Zhongyi's ears.

Li Zhongyi's face changed slightly, and the whistle came from the front. Five long and three short were obviously the ambush of the large group of enemy troops.

Since there has not been a fire, Zhe Congruan could not see Li Zhongyi's face clearly. He just heard his loud order, "Stop moving forward, line up on the spot, prepare to face the enemy!"

Zhe turned his mind from Ruan Gang. He heard the commander beside Li Zhongyi, and after retelling the order loudly, he decisively blew the loud military trumpet.

The Lingzhou army still did not raise fire. However, in the darkness, there were shouts of reprimanding officers at all levels, various bamboo whistles of different lengths, and horse hooves that were mobilized with military orders.

"Wujiu, I miscalculated. I didn't expect that the old thief Tuoba Yiyin had the courage to set up an ambush halfway, trying to catch us all in one go." Zhe Congruan's old face turned slightly red, but because it was dark, Li Zhongyi couldn't see it.

Li Zhongyi laughed softly and said, "The combat power of our Lingzhou army still needs to be tested by fierce battles. However, if you want to attack our army's ambush, the younger generation is quite confident, and the enemy will never succeed!"

Zhe Congruan was silent for a while. Li Zhongyi, a kid, was indeed extremely conservative in his military use and extremely vigilant.

Along the way, the Lingzhou Army's sentry spies were scattered far away, so although the marching speed was fast, the safety of the main army was fully guaranteed.

At least, once there is a policeman, it will be the same as now. Instead of falling into a trap, the army won the precious time to line up in time and wait for the battle.

After rigorous training, the sentry detectives are indeed very important. Zhe Congruan secretly made up his mind that after this battle, as long as the foundation of the prefecture is still there, he must learn from Li Zhongyi's approach and form a capable sentry camp.

The prefectures originally had a horse-striking organization, but there were only less than a hundred people. The Lingzhou army under Li Zhongyi had a total of as many as 500 people on the camp alone, all of which were trained and proficient in cavalry.

It took only two quarters of an hour for the army to stop moving forward to completely set up a formation of battle.

After receiving the report, Li Zhongyi frowned and said, "It's still insufficient training, it's too slow. If it's all infantry, it only takes a quarter of an hour at most."

Zhe Congruan, who was riding with Li Zhongyi, was speechless and shook his head and sighed secretly. Is this Li Zhongyi too arrogant or pretending to be stupid?

The elite troops like the Prefecture and Prefecture Army, if more than 10,000 troops are fully deployed during the march, it will take at least one and a half hours to fully embark on the enemy, and it will be during the day.

If it was a night marching, Zhe Congruan knew very well. He pulled out the elite troops of the Prefecture Army with one hand. Not to mention discovering the enemy at a distance, it would be impossible even if he wanted to smoothly arrange the formation.

It seems that Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to the organization and discipline of the army, which is indeed a bit reasonable!

In the cold wind, except for the sound of war horses gushing from time to time, and the sound of war flags fluttering in the wind, Zhe Congruan almost had an illusion that there was no one here!

Alas, Li Zhongyi, the kid, actually trained the army to such a high level. After Zhe Congruan got a further understanding, he couldn't help but secretly be glad that the two families had already been married. Otherwise, if the court vigorously reduced the vassal states in the future and encountered such a disciplined army, would he still have a safe sleep?

"Wujiu, since our army is ready, why not send a soldier and horse to go around quietly?" Zhe Congruan did not wait for Li Zhongyi to explain, and then suggested, "As far as I know, most of the soldiers and horses of the Tuoba family cannot adapt to night battles."

"Well..." Li Zhongyi touched his chin and fell into deep thought, without responding immediately.

This place is in the prefecture and prefecture. His subordinates, including the gathered tribal cavalry, were unfamiliar with the terrain here.

In addition, although the warnings from the front informed many enemy troops, there are still very ambiguity.

If Tuoba Yi Yi Yin and Jinyang troops were all out, the rash move at this time would be likely to be ambushed.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi was hesitant, Zhe came to Ruan's heart and finally discovered Li Zhongyi's obvious shortcomings: his command experience in fighting against the grassland cavalry in the last battle was seriously insufficient!

Zhe Congruan said with a smile: "Wujiu, this is the territory of the prefectures. How can I hide the ambushing troops in a large group? How can I not know about this prefecture? "

Yes, Li Zhongyi thought a little about the words of Chengruan and couldn't help but suddenly realize that. The Zhe family has been running the prefecture for decades, and I'm afraid that every tree and grass here will be under the control of Zhe Congruan, right?

With Zhe Congruan's guidance, even if we mobilize troops to fight back in the dark night, what's the difficulty?

Li Zhongyi made a rough calculation and immediately asked Zhe Congruan for advice: "I wonder what your old ideas are?"

Zhe Congruan, along the way, he was scheming with Li Zhongyi everywhere, but he never really won. Now, Li Zhongyi has softened his figure and sincerely asks for good words. Zhe Congruan, who was originally very proud, felt more and less comfortable in his heart.

Hehe, do you have a time to ask me for help? Zhe Congruan was happy, but he knew very well. Li Zhongyi lacked enough experience in commanding the battle, but he only led troops to fight less often.

After three or five years of war training, Li Zhongyi, who holds a disciplined strong army, will there be many even opponents?

Zhe Congruan thought about this and couldn't help but sigh in secret. The boy named Li in front of him was born in a low-level official family, but he could use his own real skills to pull up a huge army with extremely strict discipline with one hand. His future potential is simply unlimited!

"Wujiu, if you trust me, give me a battalion of troops. How about I let me lead the way for the entire army?" Zhe Congruan seemed relaxed on the surface, but in fact, she felt a lot of sweat in her heart.

Nowadays, it is an unusual taboo to take the initiative to lead other people's troops.

Who would have thought that Li Zhongyi chuckled softly: "Yuezu is a famous general who wins every battle. I have always trusted you. There are too few soldiers in the battalion, so please ask Yuezu, to command the entire cavalry of the foreign camp."

Zhe Congruan had been with Li Zhongyi for a while. Of course he knew that the so-called cavalry of the Fan camp were actually the Dangxiang cavalry who had to enter Lingzhou for military training every now and then.

The number of these foreign cavalry who had also been strictly trained this time followed Li Zhongyi to fight for more than 5,000.

After taking over Xiazhou, Li Zhongyi was not stingy at all and equipped these people with one man and three horses.

After learning the news from Ruan, Zhe secretly praised Li Zhongyi's exquisite thoughts. In fact, Li Zhongyi's arrangement was equivalent to telling the Lingzhou Dangxiang tribes that follow Li Dashui's life would be of great benefit!

The barbarians of the grassland have always been afraid of power but not virtue. They just want to take advantage of the situation and do not want to die!

In addition to adopting the strategy of differentiation and disintegration against these Dangxiang tribes, Li Zhongyi's dividends beyond his imagination are also an indispensable means.

As the head of the Zhe family, Zhe Congruan naturally understood the profound meaning of Li Zhongyi's arrangement and admired it very much!

Now, Li Zhongyi opened his mouth wide and handed over the vassal cavalry at hand to Zhe Congruan Tong. This kind of courage alone was enough to make Zhe Congruan secretly feel!

"Hehe, grandson-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will kidnap all these foreign cavalry?" Zhe Congruan deliberately joked with Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi just smiled but said nothing, and did not answer Zhe Congruan's question positively. Such a strange reaction made Zhe Congruan feel a little uncomfortable.

I got the fish talisman of the army from Li Zhongyi, and got the bronze seal of the army in Zuo Ziguang's hand. Zhe came to the Fan Cavalry from Ruan, thinking that he could give orders at will.

Unexpectedly, the first order issued by Zhe Ruan was flatly rejected by the commemorative officer.

"If you go back to Zhegong, according to military rules, your order must be signed by the deputy commander of the Fanqi Punishment, and the last general dares to convey it." The soft nails of the commemorative officer who was neither humble nor arrogant made Zhe Congruan feel particularly surprised.

"Fanqi polite? Who is that person?" Zhe Congruan glanced around suspiciously. In the darkness, he couldn't see clearly the expressions of the people around him.

"Haha, Yue Zu, I just needed to make some arrangements. I'm late. Please forgive me for reading!"

At this time, under the escort of Ya Barracks, Li Zhongyi rushed to Zhe Congruan's side.

"You are the so-called foreign cavalry to slap?" Zhe Congruan was originally a very smart person. His mind changed slightly and immediately found the key point.

Li Zhongyi touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "The Wanhu Wanhu is only a temporary establishment, and the Wanhu Chief is temporarily appointed by Guo Huai. According to military rules, the Wanhu Duke and the Wanhu Chief are not appointed by the same person, so the younger generation will serve as the part-time position."

After listening to Li Zhongyi's explanation, Zhe Congruan suddenly realized that no wonder Li Zhongyi was not worried that anyone would take his troops away. It turned out that he had already put necessary restrictions on the system.

"Wujiu, you came out with me. What should I do with the remaining army?" Zhe Congruan reminded Li Zhongyi with some concern.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and explained: "According to the convention, as long as I am not in the central army, Guo Huai will command the army, and Zuo Ziguang will be the policing of the entire army."

Zhe Congruan completely understood that the Lingzhou army had a power constraint mechanism that restricted each other from top to bottom, which ensured Li Zhongyi's actual control over the entire Lingzhou army from a system perspective.

"You, your brain is so good. I'm old!" Zhe thought of Ruan Lian's army, who still had power disputes, couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed. He felt ashamed that he was not as far-sighted as Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi curled his lips and laughed in his heart. With such a strict way to control the army, Li Zhongyi was just copying it.

What is really amazing is to build branches in a company and allow political cadres who obey organizational discipline to have the final decision Mao Taizu!

After receiving the deputy signing of Li Zhongyi, Zhe Congruan's military order was immediately conveyed. All the foreign cavalry rushed westward, and then bypassed the Fuzhou River from the north, and turned around to attack Tuoba Yiyin's grain camp.

When making the decision, Zhe Congruan explained before Li Zhongyi asked questions. His intention to arrange this!

"Wujiu, you have also led troops for many years. You should know the importance of food and supplies, right?" Zhe Congruan asked Li Zhongyi this way.

Li Zhongyi smiled and said, "In war, in addition to fighting with his life, the key to deciding the outcome of the war is mainly to depend on the supply of supplies and whether they are sufficient and reliable."

Zhe Congba clapped his high-five and said with a smile: "Wujiu said so much. Now, the main force of the old thief of Tuoba is outside, and our army has the strong combat power of night battles. We just need to bypass the ambush area of ​​the Tuoba family and go the other way. The chance of success of sneaking into the enemy's camp is extremely high!"

Li Zhongyi has always been struggling with the lack of guidance from famous generals in order to grasp the various key points of cold weapons combat faster.

Now, with Zhe Congruan's words and deeds, he naturally listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Li Zhongyi was originally a cheerful person. After understanding Zhe Congruan's intention, he simply handed over the command power to Zhe Congruan. He wanted to see how famous generals fought?

Zhe Congruan seemed extremely calm. He had already seen the good organizational discipline of the Lingzhou army, including the Fanqin, for so many days.

Therefore, after Zhe Congruan issued a detour order in front of Li Zhongyi, he no longer paid attention to how the people below carried out his orders.

It is still the same rule. Around the main army of the foreign cavalry, the provocateurs were dispatched early to guard against possible enemy attacks on behalf of the army.

On the way, Zhe Congruan looked at the marching brigade of the foreign cavalry and couldn't help but sigh and said to Li Zhongyi: "I have been ordering soldiers for many years. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a permissive foreign cavalry."

Li Zhongyi felt funny in his heart. If the foreign cavalry, that is, the alien cavalry, did not take the necessary special measures against these people, would these originally rebellious guys be so obedient?

"The old lady doesn't know that the scoundrels under the younger generation are no longer the Dangxiang herders of the past." Li Zhongyi took out the water bag beside his saddle and drank a sip of water. Then he explained in detail, "To be honest, the elders, patriarchs and old nobles of the three major departments of the Dangxiang in Lingzhou were basically slaughtered by the ten, centurions and thousands of scoundrels of these scoundrels."

This is the first time Zhe Congruan has heard of this kind of news. His originally peaceful heart can't help but tighten. What a bloody method!
