The location of Xiaqiu is already the most open terrain of the Guanzhong Plain. Although there are occasional hills and gullies in the situation, it is hard to say that it is dangerous.

Since then, as we moved northwest, such large burrows gradually became rare, especially in the Fuping area, there are many outlined strata of Luochuan tributaries, and the terrain has gradually become obvious. Because there has been a long lack of a strong unified regularity, and years of war damage, many farmlands have been abandoned, and rivers and canals have been silted or flooded.

The main force of the Hongwu Army is currently stationed in this area, looking to Fuping in the west and looking to Pucheng in the east. Although this area is on the surface belonging to the pseudo-Han King Liu Changming, it has not actually established any effective rule here.

The area where the Hongwu Army is active is backed by a mountain that stretches for dozens of miles. The old book is not well-known, but only in the local countryside, it is commonly known as Qifengpo.

There is a vast river silt flat around it, called Wuyang Pond, but it has been damaged by years of flooding. The pike plateau has long been divided into fragments and cannot be connected. This terrain also provides certain guarantees for the Hongwu Army, because dozens of miles northeast of this northeast is Pucheng, where more than 10,000 major troops are stationed.

After the warriors moved south, Wang Dao and other Taiwan auxiliary rulings set up prefectures and counties, and each led their own people. This was not the first to be found. As early as the Han Dynasty, the Beidi County had such an arrangement. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Beidi County was not only surrounded by Yiqu, but also reached Maling in the north and directly blocked Beijiuyuan.

The Qiang people in the Later Han Dynasty were frequently in chaos, especially in the late Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms and the northern counties were repeatedly shrunk and even once ruled, and their names were preserved without any land. It was not until the Cao Wei period that the northern part of Fuping and Niyang counties were actually managed, which was the barrier to the north. The Wei and Jin Dynasties were intersected until Liu Yao entered Guanzhong, and the northern part was slightly restored to the old rule and moved north to Yiqu.

Today, Fuping is located next to the Sanfu territory, and is also the area where the Han and Hu meet the most severe chaotic battles. To the south is the vast Sanfu Plain. To the north is to Jitou Mountain, there are the clans of various large and small gatherings such as Qiang, Di, and Xianbei. They are widely distributed between Jing and Luo, relying on Ziwuling, and active between Gaolong Loess.

So from the current situation, the Hongwu Army drove in and happened to penetrate the gaps of the powerful forces of all parties. In the north, it was Liu Changming, the pseudo-Han king who was temporarily a group of Miscellaneous Hu leaders, and in the south it was the Sanfu area controlled by the Jin Min Haoyou.

Of course, this is just a rough division. After the continuous migration and chaos of the two Zhaos and the struggles of the powerful and powerful, the division of various forces in Guanzhong was also in chaos, and it was difficult to clearly distinguish them.

For example, the several dock walls that Xiao Yuandong led his troops to break through, and their respective masters and divisions were mixed with Han and Hu, without a clear division.

Currently, the main force of the Hongwu Army is located in Qifengpo, which has gathered more than a thousand troops, while the others are active in the surrounding areas with battalions and Qifengpo as the center, either attacking cities and camps, or recuperating on the spot.

In the tent of the central army, Xiao Yuandong read the book in detail, but he did not read the Spring and Autumn Period classics or military books, but the "Medical and Food Journal" compiled by the Tianzhong Academy of Engineering. It seems a bit funny to read this general indiscriminately, but in fact, the significance of this book to the Hongwu Army is even greater than that of the military books that record the strategies of gods and ghosts.

"These ghost talismans and pictures are really dizzy!"

Although his age and status are increasing, his character is difficult to change. After reading for a while, Xiao Yuandong threw the book on his desk, then stood up and put on his armor, and began to patrol the camp.

Each of the four armies in Xingtai has distinct characteristics, including all aspects, and has different temperaments from ordinary camps. Located in Qifengpo, the camp is more like a village where civilians live rather than a military camp.

Although the main body of the camp is still well-arranged, with horses, trenches, wardrobes, arrow towers, etc. around it, it is actually not as rigorous as ordinary camps. The soldiers can walk around calmly, including water mills, grinding, valley fields, machining, smelting, and casting. There is even a small military city for the soldiers of each battalion to exchange for any.

If the main camp of ordinary corps is a place where elite troops gather and train and maintain combat effectiveness, then the camp of Hongwu Army is more like a post-repair base, and the soldiers active in each battalion are the sharp minions of this army, which is easy to be on the outside and soft to the inside.

This made Xiao Yuandong very uncomfortable. The Fenwu Army, whom he had previously commanded, needed to manage these things. The main task was to trap the camp. No matter which side he was to use, he paid attention to a quick battle and a quick decision, and there was no need to worry about logistics supply issues. Sometimes, a mere battalion generals and soldiers would need thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers to cooperate with each other.

Now, after taking over the Hongwu Army, not only should we formulate and preside over the combat plan, but we should pay attention to cooking and repairing these trivial matters. There are nearly two thousand full-time craftsmen in the Hongwu Army alone, and their specialization and talent status are even higher than those in the brave warriors.

Of course, this does not mean that the Hongwu Army has low combat effectiveness. In fact, even the craftsmen are the elite soldiers selected from each army. However, relatively speaking, their production functions are slightly higher than their combat functions.

Moreover, the Hongwu Army had much stricter requirements in terms of military discipline, and even surpassed the Fenwu Army. For example, there was an iron buckle in the military uniform and a buckle called Fengji buckle. Anyone in the camp must be directly opposite the navel. Once the position is found to be incorrect, they will be flogged. Walk in a straight step, not slanted steps, etc. Many rules are not limited to daily life and diet, but even include the description of instruments.

The rules of all sizes were very complicated at the beginning, and even the general Xiao Yuandong, who was the chief of all the rules, could not be strictly followed. However, after truly following the habit, he felt that his self-discipline was greatly improved.

When we arrived at the northwest corner of the camp, there were hidden instrumental music coming. Military soldiers lined up to enter the bamboo shed, and there were stages in the bamboo shed, with actors playing on it. This was another special treatment of the Hongwu Army. Even during the battle, the army carried actors.

When Xiao Yuan walked east and walked into it to appreciate it for a while, he couldn't help but show a hint of proud and embarrassing smile on his face. Because the drama he performed on the stage was related to him, it was called "The Legend of Xiao Hou Captures the Lie", which was the deeds of his early capture of Zhao Guoshikan in Hebei.

The soldiers watching the play in the bamboo shed also noticed the arrival of the general. Seeing the heroes and generals on the stage appearing alive, they were all excited, but they did not dare to take it over. They each stood up and slapped their high fives, and stopped after three oops. Xiao Yuandong also nodded with his head reserved, clenched his fists and chests to respond.

On the west side of the theater is the prisoner-of-war camp. The inside is already crowded, with many noises and noises outside. Several strings of heads hung around the prisoner-of-war camp, which makes people feel very heartbroken. Why were those people beheaded is not all guilty. A considerable number of the reasons for their deaths are even ridiculous, either because they were concealed from the epidemic or drowning everywhere in the camp.

The military position responsible for managing the prisoner-of-war camp is the title of the General's Office, which is also the military position in which the General's Office was transferred to the various logistics matters established by the Fourth Army. The Office is Gao Shi, a young man in his early twenties. Seeing the general coming, he walked up to him with a bitter face and said, "General, the camp is full again... Do you need to expand again?"

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he felt a little angry. He had the need to establish his authority in the new army. He organized several major attacks and captured thousands of them. Some of them were selected to organize for service, but there were still a large number of elderly, weak, women and children who could not throw them away from the wilderness and could only be put into prison.

Later, each battalion was active and was frequently captured and sent back. In more than a month, the camp prisoners alone accumulated nearly ten thousand, and even if they only maintained their basic survival, it was very amazing. Although some of them were included in the company for production, the output could not meet such a huge consumption.

These Guanzhong people are strange. When they were on the dock wall or wandering in the countryside, they all dared to fight for their lives with their sticks. However, once they were captured, they all showed extreme gentleness, neither resisting nor noisy, and had a somewhat submissive attitude of accepting their fate.

Otherwise, Xiao Yuandong would not dare to accommodate prisoners who had already had several times more military strength than his headquarters. Now, these prisoners were not accurate in saying that they were fighting, but instead became a burden, being docile and harmless, and could not be dispersed. What's even more, Xiao Yuandong neither dared nor bear to order the war to keep the prisoners, otherwise more than half of the prisoners in this camp would have to be buried in the countryside.

After entering the Hongwu Army, Xiao Yuandong realized that war was not only about winning the battle formation, but also about being defeated by these Guanzhong fathers! He could not bear to kill, but could not kill him, and he could not use it all.

"Let's expand the camp for two thousand people first."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yuandong said again. Despite this arrangement, he also understood that this state cannot last long. So many people live here, even if there is no sign of conflict and resistance, the survival alone will be expensive. Moreover, there are strong enemies around him. Once they break through the blockade of the periphery and rush to the nearest side, their temporary benevolence may cause harm to themselves.

"The army of the royal army should have been launched. If there is no change in the short term, we can only abandon the camp here and turn to the next place to station."

Xiao Yuandong never dreamed that one day he would be forced to temporarily join the sidelines by a group of refugees. In previous years, whether in Huainan or Henan, although such situations were also occurred, officials who worked here would immediately accept the past. But now his troops are the only force in the Sanfu, and they decide on him in everything, which makes him very upset.

No, there are other powers!

This thought flashed through my mind, and Xiao Yuandong raised his eyebrows slightly, and then shook his head and sighed: "It seems unreliable..."

What he thought of was Wang Meng, who was in the back road. Because of the general's special explanation, Xiao Yuandong also held great hopes for him. However, Xiao Yuandong did not dare to have much expectations for this young man's actual ability.

"Let me get a place to move first."

Although the prisoners were very gentle, they were essentially frightened by the strength and did not dare to riot. Just like dry grass in drought, a little sparks can become a prairie fire, which is a very big hidden danger. Once caught by the enemy, they will turn around and become a chaotic bandit.

Xiao Yuandong also had a plan in his mind, to temporarily withdraw the main force of the army from Qifengpo and settle down in the surrounding area. If these people are really in chaos, they will immediately kill them. Otherwise, these people can also be used as bait to attract thieves to attack and annihilate the enemy.

Such arrangements may be a bit cruel, but he is a general who is in charge of the military. If he is blindly planning to ignore the military for these Guanzhong occupants who have not been educated and obedient, it would be his greatest dereliction of duty.

After patrolling the camp, Xiao Yuandong returned to the tent again. Before he could sit down, a military soldier came to tell him that he had sent an envoy here.

"Summon people to meet."

Xiao Yuan returned to the tent and settled down, and then someone hurried in under the leadership of the soldiers. One of them was Wang Xue, the leader of the camp he sent to Xiaji. Several others introduced each, and they were all officials of Xiaji County.

"The king is very happy. The magistrate of Xiaji County Zhai Ci and the chief Wang Mengye have already settled the county. We have specially sent us to report the victory!"

Wang Xue entered the tent, first kowtowed, then looked up and said.
