Xiao and Yuan sat around the fire in Guide City at night.

After talking about the affairs of the North, Yuan Ping seemed to be silent with a sullen look on his face.

Xiao Lang simply turned over what he had gained on this trip, including military supplies, money and food, and what he had taken.

Upon hearing this, Yuan calmed down a little.

I will hear later that the Fengyang tribe will allocate another 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they will arrive soon.

Suddenly, Yuan's eyes became bright again, and the clouds cleared to reveal the sun.

"Oh, dear, another 10,000 people are coming?"

Yuan Ping's face finally showed a smile again, and he rubbed his hands with joy.

"Oh, it is quite true."

"Because I couldn't stand the dawdling of the car behind me, I left the rear team behind and led the guards back first."

"The team will be led by Captain Minglu, who will also help transport supplies and food with the supply department."

"I think we will be able to gather in Guide City in a few days." General Xiao said firmly.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Ping was moved and continued to ask questions.

"Then, how do you plan to deploy these troops?" Yuan Zuoshi asked.

"Oh, haha, this is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you."

"From what I'm concerned, this number of tens of thousands is quite large."

"If you don't think about it, you will form a team on your own and train a talented general on your own."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince people in the short term and it will be hard to control them."

"So, I intentionally wanted to separate the heads."

"Well, based on my observations over the past few months, there is a captain named Zhou Tai under Peizhong's command."

"When he first started in the military, he was a famous marksman."

"A magical bow, superbly skillful, the arrow never misses its target, it can hit the target even if it is a hundred paces away."

"Last year, when the allied forces were defending Dezhou, an arrow shot Wang Aoyong, who was trying to persuade the Qing army to surrender, to death from 200 steps in front of the battle line. This greatly boosted morale and was a great achievement."

"And after these few battles, his temperament has become calm and steady, just like Peizhong."

"It should be usable."

"So, I intend to allocate 5,000 people first, let him take charge, and promote one or two to become thousand households, so that we can go there later."

Xiao Jin said to the serious words.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ping couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Well, I have met this guy a few times. He is a stable person."

"Ah, don't stop, keep talking." Yuan urged him to reply.

"Well, besides this, there is also the deputy of Hu Chen's unit, Niu Kuisheng, who is currently serving as the commander of the First Battalion."

"This guy was originally under Li Chengdong's command."

"When I led the army to Shandong, I killed the thief surnamed Li in Qinghe, and then recruited him. I have always kept him in Hu Chen's army."

"He is a man who does things efficiently and without dragging his feet."

"He is smart and good at management, and is very suitable for Tiger Minister to use."

"This time, I thought, after all, the Fengyang soldiers are from the same lineage as him. If I ask him to take 5,000, it might be cheaper to integrate them." Xiao Xu recalled.

"Yes, they are both born from the same mother."

"These Fengyang soldiers, seeing that Niu Kuisheng has been promoted in our army, their morale will change immediately."

"Yes, this is a good note."

"Are there any more?"

"There's still two thousand left. Where are you going to put them?!"

"No, wait, wait a minute."

"Humph! You just said you would discuss it with me."

"Are you trying to squeeze me here?"

"Don't come here, don't talk about these ragtag soldiers."

"Among the villagers we are seriously recruiting, most of them I have picked and chosen and I don't like them."

"Don't kick it to me, I don't agree."

Yuan Ping was obedient and took the initiative. Before Xiao Youqiu came over, he raised his hand to avoid him, showing his attitude and refusing the offer.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan seemed helpless and shook his head and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Brother, you are talking about yourself, haha."

"You're wrong, aren't you?!"

"This needs to be discussed, not abandoned."

"That's it."

"You are from the army. You have two generals under your command, Chen Jiulang and Lan Qi."

"These two guys are good at martial arts, and they have been trained by you for more than half a year."

"Since he is a useful talent, why don't you pick him out and put him to good use?"

"Brother, you are stubborn. You only care about the quality of the horse and are not too lazy to pile up the numbers."

"But the people below all have the same idea as you, right?" "It's almost the next month, anyway, I just want to see if these two guys can do it."

"If you are willing to give in now, I will bring the two of them out, each in their own team."

"Do you think it's feasible?!" Xiao Jingchuan smiled and lowered his posture, asking someone to poach him.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ping raised his eyebrows and was stunned.

Dai Man stared at Xiao's face for a long time, then chuckled bitterly.

“Haha, you!”

"Good job, Xiaochuan, you can do it, you are really damn good!"

"You are poaching people and you have come to me."

"What? Did those two bastards complain to you in private and express their thoughts?" Yuan thought a lot and thought there was a misunderstanding.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"Oh, no, that's not the case."

"This is purely my own private plan. This is the first time I'm talking to you about it."

"They didn't know, and I didn't ask."

"He's not your man, so he's a digger, right?"

"Even if we are trying to poach someone, we still have to be polite, right?"

"How dare I tell your brother about it if he won't let me know?"

"It's not easy to fix the problem!"

Ogawa pretended to be stupid and asked for a beating, intentionally trying to make Yuan Ping happy.

Look, that Yuan Shaxing grinned and punched forward.

"Get lost, don't try to trick me."

"He's used to being funny."

"Okay, you're the head coach, if you want it, just take it, what else can I say?!"

Yuan Ping let go.

"Haha, okay, great, then it's a deal." He took advantage of the victory to convince Xiao Langjun.

Glancing at his look of taking advantage of the situation, Yuan remained silent.

Outside the eaves, the rain is falling heavily.

There was a sudden cold rain just now, but now it has turned into cold rain and changed its direction.

"Alas, time is running out!" Sighs arose again.

"Xiaochuan, now I hear you say this."

"Forty thousand plus ten thousand makes fifty thousand."

"If we take Gao Hu's troops and include me, it would be no problem to make 60,000."

"Now, we have all the troops ready, we just lack the east wind"

"If there is any disturbance in Nanjing, gather the troops and head east!"

"Humph!"

"What are the four towns in Jiangbei? Don't underestimate them because they have hundreds of thousands of people."

"In my opinion, it's just a mob."

"With our current strength, we won't be afraid even if we ask them to attack us together!"

Yuan Ping expressed his satisfaction with proud words, and his eyes showed even more determination.

After hearing the news, Xiao Jingchuan became upset and started to think about it again.

"Yes, that's correct."

"Times have changed, and things are different now."

"Since we have occupied all of Henan, our military and cavalry have become even stronger."

"Don't even think about the Four Towns."

"The main thing is the Jiannu cavalry that will invade from the south!"

"In recent months, from the northwest up, Shanxi and Shaanxi have successively fallen into the hands of the Jiannu people."

"Most of the north has been conquered."

"Brother, to be honest with you, based on the recent military information reported from the north, I am worried."

"You and I only owe an opportunity."

"And it would be best if this east wind could blow over sooner."

"It's too late. If we wait too long, the Qing Dynasty's Tartar troops in the north will only grow stronger."

"By then, the plan will be over."

"Brother, Xiaochuan will give you a definite answer."

"One year!"

"Just bear with it for another year at most."

"If by this time next year, his Qing dog cavalry still hasn't crossed the Yellow River to invade southward, we can do it ourselves, in the name of clearing the court of evildoers, and head straight for Nanjing."

"How do you compare?!"
