After more than an hour, Li Bingcai went out again and changed into a loose and simple Ship Clothes. The chest was bandaged inside the open lantern. It was obvious that there was a wound on his body. I had some treatment before.

"I have been waiting for a long time, General Xue is welcome to sit down."

He walked into the hall, waved his hand and said to Xue Tao who was standing up to greet him.

Xue Tao has not completely digested what he had just inquired about, and his mood is still very exciting. Seeing Li Bing like this, his face can't help but change: "How is the general's injury..."

"Just a small matter, it's not enough to affect the action."

Li Bing didn't care about it and smiled, and then walked into the seat and sat down.

Seeing that his actions were indeed normal and he had no intention of being forced, Xue Tao felt relieved. However, when he looked at Li Bing again, his emotions were a bit complicated. He admired, envied, or could not agree with Li Bing's behavior, and was mixed with a hint of fear.

He didn't even dare to imagine that if he had not chosen to surrender to the Taiwan Strait, but was determined to resist stubbornly, would a lone and brave tiger general like Li Bing rush into his central army and kill him among the crowd?

Putting aside the many troubles in his heart, Xue Tao looked at Li Bing, wanted to speak but stopped. After a while, he spoke: "The general is in charge of the garrison, and he is responsible for his duties, or... maybe it's because I am older and declining."

He wanted to persuade Li Bing, but halfway through his speech, he still felt that he was a little indifferent. Moreover, everyone has different temperaments and styles of doing things. Li Bing did not make a reckless mistake, but instead made another feat. It was really inappropriate to make such a disgusting voice.

After hearing this, Li Bing laughed and then said solemnly: "A mere military man, who was promoted by the general, has neither noble character nor profound strategy and talent, and can serve him. However, this kind of courage is just a courageous courage that is not afraid of death. If you are even stingy in serving you, what kind of face will you have to set up your position."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xue Tao again, and after pondering for a while, he said, "General Xue, although you have already obtained a heavy position, you should not have any omissions after going through the formation, right?"

When Xue Tao heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. If someone had been asked directly in this way, he would probably have a little bit of anger. However, Li Bing had just crossed the river to kill the thief head of Pingyang and rushed out of the chaos. Although he had been bathed and cleaned up, there was still a murderous intent surrounding him, which made people dare not be presumptuous.

Li Bing said this without making fun of Xue Tao. He quickly said: "Our king's army has won many battles, and it depends on not only soldiers and soldiers who use their lives. Only by experiencing the battle formation can we realize how happy it is to be able to follow the general's command and kill their lives. Luckily! The nature of the general is the nature of heaven and man, and everything is in mind. Whenever there is a choice and application, one must do his best to do his best, and there are few miscalculations."

When Xue Tao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. He had a very deep feeling about this. Although the matter of reorganizing the Hedong Prefecture Army was still dominated by Xue Tao on the surface, when he really took action, he felt that many of the originally expected difficulties were solved, and many of the seemingly meaningless actions had the effect of cooperating and assisting at this moment.

"The general's talent, wisdom, and heroic strategy are the best in this world, and there is no such thing as the world. We martial artists follow the people, and can only use their lives if they have the power to drive them. Even if they look forward to the front and try their best, can they still surpass the barriers set by the general? They have many concerns, but they lose their courage and agility, and put their achievements and future into unpredictable circumstances."

Li Bing's words can be said to be based on his body as a teaching and gave guidance. He didn't hate Xue Tao before, but he didn't have any thoughts of being too close. The reason why he said this was because after he came back, he also heard from his generals that Xue Tao had enriched the defense line around Fenyin these days and made up for the omissions. He was also a responsible person and did not take responsibility because he had already removed his duties.

"General Li's feelings are magnificent, which makes me ashamed. I am also very upset that I cannot follow General Yu early. In my early years, the village was broken, the thieves were frequently disturbed, and the temper was suddenly chaotic and panicked. My temper was tamed by the world so scared and cautious, and my accumulated habits were hard to change. I lacked some courage!"

After hearing this, Xue Tao sighed, and did not hesitate to admit his indecisive and cautious flaws in his personality. In previous years, this personality allowed him to avoid unnecessary risks, protect his family business and survive this troubled times.

However, after joining Xingtai, this personality made him seem out of place with the various rhythms of Xingtai, especially as a military general, he lacked the decisiveness and courage of young warriors such as Li Bing.

Xue Tao was willing to admit his shortcomings, which made Li Bing more favorable to him. He then smiled and said, "The general is cautious and comprehensive, and there is no lack of tenacity and integrity. When the hero is chosen by the emperor, the righteous song is widely supported, so why should we not be successful in our careers? Now, within the king's army, heroic standards are standing up, like Shen Shi, and they dare not be reserved and respectful for their blood relatives and fight for merit. Just like ours, we are just lucky, how dare we turn our feet and turn our heads and stop going forward?"

Having said this, the atmosphere between the two became harmonious. Xue Tao asked again: "General Li went north and killed the thief leader of Pingyang Zhai Gui. What is the strategy for Pingyang afterwards? I wonder if there is a certain plan?"

"The situation in Pingyang is still far worse than what I thought earlier..."

Hearing this question, Li Bing's expression became serious again, and his brows were slightly locked.

He did not feel complacent about the thief leader Zhai Gui for a long time. In fact, the thief leader was just a Hu chief of the bandit leader. In previous years, when the Hongwu Army was first established, he even led his troops to Hebei and directly intercepted the envoy sent by Shi Yijian of Dai Kingdom to Shi Zhao near Xiangguo. It is said that he was an uncle of Shi Yijian of the activist.

So killing a mere Ding Ling Hu Chief is not a thing worth boasting in his opinion. It is just a little relieved of the frequent bandits in the northeastern area of ​​the river.

The reason why Li Bing looked serious was that he saw with his own eyes that all the situations in Pingyang were really not optimistic. Originally, he thought that Pingyang was located in the old capital of Han and Zhao. Even if Han and Zhao were in chaos and collapsed more than 20 years ago, at least there should be some remains of remains, such as broken cities, palaces, etc., which can meet the requirements of the army to garrison after a little cleaning.

But he still underestimated the extent of the destruction of these barbarians on the ground. The Han countries themselves lacked the talent for construction. Pingyang was not considered a prosperous and prosperous territory under its rule. Later, he experienced fierce internal strife and was plundered by Shi Le in his early years. Then he no longer became the focus of the world. Even Liu Yao, who was in charge of the general term, chose to give up this state and establish himself in Guanzhong.

Previously, Shi Sheng retreated to Taiyuan. What he implemented in Pingyang was a scorched earth strategy. He took away what he could and dismantled and dismantled, leaving behind a messy Pingyang that was cleaner than being licked by a dog. As for the bandits active in Pingyang, either Shi Sheng looked down on him or he could not control him. He simply left it for waste use, which could slightly stop the progress of the king's army.

Li Bing had a very obvious style of conducting the Taiwan-style movement. Compared with defense, he was more keen on attack. Since the Tongguan tribes were unable to fully control the countryside, he simply released a sound of wind and oppressed the thieves assembled, and directly rushed into the light army and killed the thieves' heads.

He was not satisfied with just building the two sides of the Fen River to create an isolation zone that was extinct. On this basis, he also wanted to defeat the enemy and set up one or two strongholds in Pingyang, which could not only serve as an outpost for the army to set off later, but also respond to the up and down, and attack the bandits more violently.

However, Pingyang's destruction made Li Bing feel a little embarrassed. Killing a thief leader cannot be said to have completely solved the Pingyang bandits. Those bandits were originally mobs with little organizational constraints and needed a long-term and stable deterrent and suppression.

He shared his personal investigation with Xue Tao. After hearing this, Xue Tao also looked heavy and sighed: "The thief is determined to protect himself. Pingyang and scorched earth. Once he learns that the king's army is moving northward, he will definitely see and invade. The small group of people will not help the northward advance, but if they make a big move, they will be unable to cooperate..."

Such things like Li Bing's killing of the thief's heads when he advanced north by hundreds of cavalry. There is no possibility of frequent success, and the organization of Shi Sheng's troops is guaranteed, so the beheading action may not be effective for it.

Pingyang is not enough to defend at present, and can only be used as a channel and springboard to advance to Taiyuan. The army entered the thunder and directly covered Shi Sheng in Taiyuan and could not move. This is the most efficient tactic. If you rashly settle in Pingyang, the rhythm afterwards will not be kept up, which is just a lengthening of the front line, which greatly increases the risk of invasion in the rear.

"It's a pity that the Hongwu Army is currently involved in Shangjun, northern Shaanxi. If it were here, a mere Shi Sheng would be really not a problem!"

Li Bing couldn't help but sigh, missing the Hongwu Jingjun he created. The Tongguan King Division is naturally not weak in combat, but it is still much worse than the Hongwu Army.

In particular, the Hongwu Army was best at field operations such as complex terrain in the mountains and rivers of Bingzhou, and the requirements for logistics supply were not high. As long as he was given a number of troops, Li Bing was confident that he would directly break through Taiyuan and create a stronghold under Shi Sheng's nose.

"It is still necessary to quickly resolve the invasion of Sehu! General Xue, I am also surrounded by your troops. This trip can be as powerful as Hetao and kill Sehu. Only if the situation in Shanxi is in a major change!"

After all, it was the sudden change that came to Sehunan, which made the King's army's strategy on the western front feel a bit cumbersome. In particular, the elite team of the Hongwu Army is currently tied in northern Shaanxi and confronted Liu Changmingya, a pseudo-Han who was wandering to Xihe County. By the way, he was alert to Sehunan, which made many of the originally envisioned flexible tactics that were not flexible.

Although in Li Bing's mind, he also felt that the little trouble of Sehu was not worthy of involving two-thirds of the troops of the Western Front Royal Division, the general had long been meticulous in making arrangements and planning before they could make progress, which later proved that the foresight and correctness of these arrangements were correct. As Li Bing said before, there was no need to doubt the general's decision, and just fight with his life.

The thief leader of Pingyang was executed, and many bandits active in the realm all saw it with their own eyes, which also brought them great shock. They felt deeply terrified of the king's army and dared not invade the south frequently.

After that, Li Bing did not really lead his army north to cross the Fen River, but continued to repair and repair the defense line, and especially recruited all the people in the surrounding areas of the Fen River and drove them inside, clearing out an unmanned area with Fenyin as the center.

At the same time, the Hu Zushi's military forces recruited from Fengyi and other places also arrived in Fenyin one after another, repaired along the river and dredged the Fen River waterway, which still showed that they were nervously preparing for war and were about to send troops at any time.

Not long afterwards, Shi Sheng from Taiyuan also learned about what happened in Pingyang, so he was naturally shocked by this and frequently sent scouts to look south to see the movements of the king's army.

But he did not dare to lead the crowd to resist the battle because he was really worried at the moment. Shi Hu from Hebei directly rejected his request to be king of Shanxi, not only but also continued to increase his troops in Taihang and Shandong, but also acted as if he was about to cross the mountains and attack.

His new ally Liu Changming has been uneasy in the West River recently. On the one hand, he cannot stand the poor attack of the Southern Hongwu Army like a wolf or a tiger. On the other hand, it is probably because of Shi Hu's promise to be the king of Henan, and he wants to set up a new area and connect Saihu from the south to become the king of Henan.

For a moment, Taiyuan, a place that had been lonely for a long time, became a node that affected the trend. It was not about how powerful Shi Sheng's power was, but because his current position was exactly beyond the reach of Jintingxingtai in Zhongzhou and Shihu in Hebei, and would definitely reach the next step.

For Shi Hu, although he had little innovation in the confrontation with the King of Jin Ting, he was even directly forced to Yecheng, and was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the north and south.

However, as long as you can collect Taiyuan and also care for Hetao, you can also ensure the integrity of Heshuo. At the same time, you can collect the power of the Hu soldiers on the block, look down from the north and south, grasp the initiative of the strategy, and choose any location to launch an attack on the south.

For the King of Xingtai, Guanlong has succeeded and Hedong has laid a solid foundation. If Bingzhou, which can be included in the mountains and rivers, it will be equivalent to completely sieging Shi Hu in a corner of Hebei.

Bingzhou is to Hebei and to Jingzhou is to Jiangdong. Once it falls into the hands of the king's army, it will be an inevitable conclusion to kill Jiehu!

The reason why both sides still set off their own troops around Taiyuan and were unwilling to advance was that they were afraid of Bingzhou and were unwilling to choose Bingzhou as a new battlefield, or whether they each had other plans, was really unknown.

As the general trend is trending, Xue Tao has no time to pay attention. At present, his most important task is to complete the reorganization of the Hedong Prefecture troops as soon as possible, lead the troops to the battlefield in northern Shaanxi, and annihilate the Sehu who came from the south.

Although Li Bing advanced lightly and went to Pingyang for a long time, he became cautious and guarded the Fen River defense line. With the shock of the previous beheading operation, the remaining bandits in Pingyang did not dare to easily invade the south for a while.

So Xue Tao's previous dispatch of the troops in the defense line retreated again. One by one, it was a kind of running-in and one by one, not meaningless labor.

Since the defense of Hedong has stabilized, the soldiers of Hedong Prefecture naturally have no excuse to continue to stay in the county. In late August, Xue Tao finally submitted an entry request to the Yongzhou Governor's Office and the military route.

The Hedong Prefecture soldiers who completed the reorganization finally maintained the number of 15,000 troops in the Five Army, more than one-quarter of the number of troops and the chief officer was eliminated from the army. The strength was great, and the atmosphere of the army was also in place for a while.

On the day when the army set off, Biji Puban, a group from Hedong Township, came to see him off. Seeing the handsome and handsome heroes dressed in a neat manner and boarded the boat one after another, many villagers were tearful and confused, and they could not bear their soldiers to leave their hometown for an expedition. But more people had a sense of fanaticism and pride on their faces.

Hedong is therefore unique in geographical location and has suffered military disasters all year round. In the past year, he could only stay in the countryside and struggled hard. Before entering the Taiwan Strait, many people could not dream of the magnificent deeds of the locals covering their armor and spreading their powers to a foreign land.

The prefect of Hedong, Liu Shi, and even many famous scholars and celebrities who had already moved to Heluo, rushed here to see him off.

Xue Tao stood up with a sword, took the villagers and gave them a drink of sake, and wiped the remaining wine stains on the corner of his mouth. Then he faced the prefect and others with fists as a courtesy, and said in a calm voice: "It's time to leave the hometown, and there is no time to speak. This trip will only be worthy of the king's kindness, the countryside customs, and this trip will be worthy of life and death, and you will never return without any contribution!"

After saying that, he got on the boat and followed the school behind him. After all, the sound of flags and drums on the boat suddenly became loud, and the warships filled with soldiers slowly sailed away from the pier in Puban and headed straight west.

At the end of August and early September, the autumn atmosphere gradually becomes stronger.

It was cold in the frontier, and the barbarians went south, and the Xingtai Kings had already arranged tigers and wolves in northern Shaanxi. The Hetao army was already the last army to go to the battlefield. The Guanzhong Prefecture soldiers were weaving in the northern part and Anding and other counties. The Hongwu army continued to attack Xihe and slaughter the remaining enemies. The elite Guanzhong and the newly formed Zhenwu army also entered the Tao area and began to clear the edges and clean up the battlefield.

It can be imagined that when these enemy soldiers come to Qiunan, they will find that compared to the biting cold wind on the enemy, there is something more bitter and deeper painful in this world, that is, the sword and arrow of the Jin army king's army who is waiting for battle!

However, a truly tragic or glorious war has not yet broken out in northern Shaanxi. The long-silent lower reaches of the Yellow River suddenly broke out first: a group of soldiers from Jie Kingdom suddenly crossed Henan and took the clean cloth of Henan fortress!
Chapter completed!
