"Gan Ning escapes seriously injured and this is an opportunity." Yang Tao thought in his heart. Seeing Gan Ning fleeing, he didn't bother to ask Xi Sheng about the recent banquet, and he chased him with his men. At this time, if he could help Gan Ning, it might be unknown if he could use this to conquer Gan Ning. Even if he couldn't conquer, he had this relationship with Gan Ning, and if he walked on the Yangtze River in the future, he would be much easier to help.

Gan Ning, who was seriously injured and fled, broke through the blockade of many thieves in the camp and came to the water camp. After merging with many water bandits, the water bandits immediately drove the boat and left the water camp, and fainted.

When Yang Tao and many bandits arrived, the tens of thousands of bandits in Gan Ning had already left for a long time. Whether they were coming to kill Gan Ning or rescue Gan Ning, they were all vacant.

Seeing that Gan Ning and others had already fled, Yang Tao could only evacuate with his troops. Since the war took place near the camp where he was stationed, it was difficult to clear out the area in a short period of time. Yang Tao could only find another location in the camp and settle the troops. After the troops were settled, Yang Tao was too lazy to pay attention to the attack on the camp where Gan Ning and others had not calmed down, and summoned his soldiers to the camp to ask about Xi Sheng’s banquet today.

The incident at today's banquet came suddenly. Although Yang Tao's civil servants and military generals were familiar with the nearby timely evacuation, except for Xi Zhicai and others, no one was injured. However, there were a lot of soldiers. There were only more than 200 soldiers left, but now only more than 200 soldiers survived. There were as many as 40 or 50 soldiers who died, most of them were the soldiers who were arranged by Bo Lin to find out the news among the leaders of the bandit army.

Yang Tao now has not many soldiers and horses around him, and dozens of people were lost in an instant, which made him very angry. He couldn't help but look at the Xisheng sitting below. If Xisheng couldn't give a reasonable explanation today, Yang Tao would not let this guy go.

Until now, everyone, including Yang Tao, is still confused about what happened today. In Yang Tao's tent, there are only two people who know the whole story, but everyone just looked at Xi Zhicai, who had already changed into a robe, waiting for him to explain what happened today.

Xi Zhicai, who had changed into a green robe, did not look as embarrassed as before. Seeing that everyone had arrived, they looked at him with anger. Xi Zhicai shook his head with a laugh, and then briefly explained how to arrange Gan Ning and the old man in black robe. He skipped the mysterious man attacked the old man in black robe and the fact that Broken Swordsman occupied his position and put him in danger.

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, everyone understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Yang Tao was not very happy with Xi Sheng's arrangement. Although Gan Ning and the old man in black robe have turned against each other, this has no effect on repelling hundreds of thousands of bandits. Tens of thousands of bandits were missing, and there were hundreds of thousands of bandits in the camp. Jiangheting still did not repel this bandits, and did not achieve the purpose of repelling the bandits as Xi Sheng said.

"Does he have a plan next?" Yang Tao looked at the Xi Sheng sitting below, looking confident. Thinking that his arrangement might have a follow-up, he didn't say anything and continued to listen to the following.

Just as Yang Tao thought, Xi Zhicai does have some more details. After explaining today's matter clearly, Xi Zhicai began to tell the next plan.

"Marty Ting, Gan Ning's major trouble has now left, and there are no famous generals in the bandit army to guard it, so we can help us get things in the camp."

"I heard from the old man that a man named Peng's Shanyue is coming today, with a total of as many as one million. But according to the old man, the millions of soldiers and horses mentioned by the old man were just bluffing, and in fact, the soldiers and horses should be around 500,000. But before the precaution, Tinghou still needs to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of Shanyue people, so that it is convenient for Xi's next arrangement."

"Shanyue? Haven't they been repelled? Why did they make a comeback?" Xi Zhicai said about Shanyue, which surprised Yang Tao. There were Shanyue people among them when he attacked Jiangheting before, but they were repelled by Yang Hanrong and others. The loss was great. Now only nearly a month has passed, why will Shanyue soldiers come again? Moreover, the number of Shanyue soldiers and horses this time is much higher than the previous one?

"Marquis Ting, the arrival of Shanyue people should be from the old man and others. With the power of the Yuan family, it is not difficult to find a few people related to Shanyue, and then let them tell them that Shanyue people are sending troops. Moreover, when Xi heard that the lord's men stationed in Jiangheting killed the young leader of the Peng Shanyue family, it is not difficult to let the old man and others send troops?" When talking about Shanyue Xi Zhicai also became solemn, and roughly expressed his guess, which was not much different from the facts.

Yang Tao had no objection to Xi Zhicai's analysis, but he was a little embarrassed to let his subordinates follow the troops of Shanyue.

Shanyue people are good at mountain combat and are even better at hiding in the mountains and forests. Even if they get the news, there are no less than 500,000 Shanyue soldiers and horses coming this time, it is difficult to find the whereabouts of Shanyue soldiers and horses in the vast mountains.

"Maybe Mo Xue can have a way to track the traces of Shanyue people." When talking about Shanyue, Yang Tao naturally thought of Mo Xue, who has the core identity of Shanyue. She should have a way to find Shanyue people, but she thought of Mo Xue's bad personality. If she wanted to ask her for help, she would have to bleed again.

"Mr.'s plan really requires the whereabouts of Shanyue people?" Yang Tao asked Xi Sheng. He still wanted to ask the matter clearly. It would be better if he could not get involved with Mo Xue.

"Of course, if Tinghou really gets the whereabouts of Shanyue people, Xi's plan will be half successful."

"Okay, I will find a way to find out what the people in Shanyue are going to do. I can say anything else that needs me, as long as it is not too much, I can agree. In addition, if I can really use hundreds of thousands of thieves and the Shanyue army, I will accept you as the military advisor." Yang Tao said.

As soon as he said that everyone here was talking about it, and Xi Zhicai was also a little surprised by his words. Regarding Feng as a military advisor, it was just a suggestion reached between him and Xi Zhicai. Now Yang Tao spoke in public, which is naturally very different from the fact that he was forced to recognize him by Xi Zhicai before.

"Thank you for your trust in Tinghou. Xi must have completed what Tinghou explained." Xi Zhicai, who reacted, hurriedly stood up and said respectfully. A heart that was hanging over finally came to the ground: "It's not easy. Why is it so difficult to be a military advisor this time? The previous few times Xi devoted himself to others' accounts, and they were always begging someone to be a military advisor, but this time it's still a little bit, which is really not easy."

Seeing the appearance of Xi Sheng, Yang Tao let him take his seat and listened to everyone's comments. Now that he made a promise in front of everyone, it is naturally impossible to change, and Yang Tao is also well aware of this.

He was not aimless about making a promise, but now Jiangheting does need a military advisor to take charge of the overall situation, so he can't always let Yang Hanrong guard Jiangheting.

After all, Yang Hanrong is still young, so she always lets her handle all the big and small things in Jianghe Pavilion for Yang Tao, which is too difficult for her. Yang Tao can't bear to be so busy. In addition, she has never managed a city. Even if she doesn't make too many mistakes, she even manages Jianghe Pavilion well. But there are always times when she is too busy. In addition, she is still young and it is not good to stay in the game. Yang Tao must let her get out of the heavy things as soon as possible. This requires Yang Tao to choose a suitable talent to replace her. When Yang Tao leads his troops out of the territory, someone guards the safety of the territory.

If you want to talk about the right candidate, Yang Tao has considered Di Qiu, Pu Lin and others in Jianghe Pavilion. After all, they have followed Yang Tao for a long time, so they can feel at ease with them. However, these people have limited abilities, so it is nothing to let them deal with normal things in Jianghe Pavilion. But if they have to deal with urgent matters, it is like the enemy's encirclement of Jianghe Pavilion this time, it makes them feel a little embarrassed. Therefore, they are not the right candidate in Yang Tao's mind.

However, this Xi Zhi is capable, so he is naturally one of Yang Tao's candidates. At least his strategy is excellent. As for his ability to handle government affairs, he can only observe it in the future. Therefore, even if he becomes a military advisor, Yang Tao will not hand over Jiangheting to him for the time being. After he dealt with these bandit troops surrounding Jiangheting, he will soon lead his army northward. The army does need a military advisor to provide advice.

As the game progresses and talents continue to emerge, the importance of strategists will become more and more prominent. It is increasingly difficult to achieve the expected results by leading the army alone. We must establish our own strategist group.

After sitting back to his original position at Yang Tao's order, Xi Zhicai spoke and continued: "Mr. Tinghou, Xi's plan is still a bit short. Tinghou needs to notify the soldiers left behind in Jianghe Pavilion to establish a trap upstream of the Poshui River. This trap is a bit strange and difficult for ordinary people to establish. I hope that Tinghou can mobilize some of the soldiers and horses in Jianghe Pavilion to temporarily lead the establishment of this trap."

When Yang Tao heard Xi Zhicai ask for troops, he couldn't help but be cautious. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll give you the 5,000 naval troops from Qifeng in Jiangheting and the 30,000 military farm soldiers from Bo Cai to your temporary command."

"Thank you for your trust in Tinghou. Ji Mou only asked for so much. Tinghou will do it when he sees the opportunity." Xi Zhicai stood up and bowed to Yang Tao and said, "It's not too late. Ji Mou will leave now and go to Jianghe Pavilion. Tinghou will wait for good news from Ji Mou."

As soon as Xi Zhi finished speaking, he said goodbye and left Yang Tao's tent. After he disappeared in front of everyone, the people who sat down were talking again. Among them, Bo Lin couldn't help but ask Yang Tao: "Lord, is it appropriate to hand over tens of thousands of troops to someone I have only known for a while?"

Regarding Bo Lin's question, Yang Tao asked without answering, "Who can you repel this group of hundreds of thousands of thieves and hundreds of thousands of Shanyue troops?"

After Yang Tao finished speaking, everyone was silent and speechless. Hundreds of thousands of bandit troops and hundreds of thousands of Shanyue troops were too many, which was several times that of Jiangheting General's troops. It was not easy to repel the enemy.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Tao didn't say anything. After letting everyone go down, he also went back to the account to rest.
