Most of the sergeants in the southwest province are locals, and there are few outsiders, but most of the generals above are transferred from other places, such as Yao Bai and Qin Fei, and the imperial court stipulates that generals below the third rank are not allowed to lead troops in one place for more than five years, which is also to prevent the generals from supporting their own troops.
Taisho established the country by force, and it was once a family of generals of a small country, and at that time, it was with military power that finally established today's Taisho Kingdom by arming.
Therefore, the Taisho Dynasty has issued such a regulation over the years.
In order to solve the situation of unstable military morale that may be caused by frequent changes of generals, the Taisho Emperor has now revised the part of this law, which will change from the original military generals who are not allowed to lead troops in the same place for three years regardless of their rank to the current general who is limited to the third rank or less, and the time limit for leading troops has also become five years, which also improves the status of the three military generals and above in disguise.
However, Yao Bai in Zhenyuan City is a very special case, Yao Bai as the defender of Zhenyuan City, has 8,000 elite soldiers but is still only a four-rank Chongwu general, and he has been in charge of the army in the Southwest Province for five years, but the imperial court has not had a new appointment to him.
Perhaps the imperial court thought that if someone else came, the southwest province might fall into even greater chaos, so it was better to let Yao Bai keep guarding this mess.
At the foot of the two continuous mountain ranges, there were 20,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court encamped, one post in a hundred steps, and then at this time, Qin Fei, as the vanguard, had personally led three thousand men and horses to investigate, and Yao Bai also sent some scouts to investigate in all directions.
Ling Yan had passed through at least thirty checkpoints since he walked to the edge of the battle, and each checkpoint was equipped with a lot of people, and the position they held was indeed the main channel of communication between Meng Menghua and the outside world.
Ling Yan actively cooperated with the officers and soldiers who were checking him, anyway, it wouldn't take too long for him to delay like this, but Zhu Si, who had followed him all the way and had the burden on his back that had been opened again and again, was a little impatient, Ling Yan asked him not to take it to heart, Yao Bai's approach was really good, if he didn't set up a good level, what if he let the bandits slip away.
When Ling Yan walked to the barracks where Yao Bai was, he was also shocked when he looked at it, even if Ling Yan had already experienced the process of the destruction of the Jiutu tribe, but once the number of people reached tens of thousands, it was very shocking, and even more in the barracks, the soldiers were practicing, and as soon as they walked into the barracks, the sound of a war horn made the bones of the whole person feel crispy and numb.
"Lord Overseer, the General has been waiting for a long time."
As soon as he entered the barracks, someone came to greet Ling Yan to meet Yao Bai, and when he walked into Yao Bai's military tent, he found that there were already eight generals including Yao Bai.
When the nine people saw Ling Yan walk in, they all hurriedly got up and saluted, shouting one after another, "I've seen Ling Overseer." ” Now there is another name, and it is Ling Overseer.
"You've worked hard," Ling Yan smiled slightly, and didn't put on a stinky show to make the nine in front of him very pleasant, after all, let a person who had never even fought a battle be the overseer, if this overseer didn't understand bullshit but loved to give orders, everyone would be very uncomfortable.
"Lord Overseer, please be seated!"
Yao Bai hurriedly gave up his position, both in terms of identity and status, Ling Yan was higher than him, so let Ling Yan sit in the position of commander Yao Bai didn't feel anything, but Ling Yan refused Yao Bai sat on the nearest chair under Yao Bai's seat, and in the center of everyone sitting together was a huge war deduction sand table, with red cloth on it was the army of the Taizheng Dynasty, and on the blue flag were the bandits of the Southwest Road.
Ling Yan glanced at it and found that the situation did not seem to be as simple as he had expected, but now he went to look at the sand table, the number of blue flags turned out to be much better than the number of red flags, and more importantly, the blue flags were always inserted in some extremely hidden mountain ranges, Ling Yan frowned, Yao Bai naturally saw Ling Yan's eyes, he got up and pointed to the sand table and said: "Ling Overseer, this sand table is basically based on the greedy flowers leaving the mountain as a reference, basically there are outside and inside."
"Are there enemies in there?"
"This is natural, the blue flag side is the bandit force, and the sand table that Ling Dujun sees now is still the latest one, in the past, there were few red flags, and the blue flag was all over the mountains, until Qin Fei didn't know what method to use to find the soul hooker in the southwest province, and with the help of the soul hooker's familiarity with the bandits' nest, this eliminated many mountain bandits."
"Soul Charmer?"
This name Ling Yan heard for the first time, and Yao Bai took the initiative to answer his doubts when he saw Ling Yan's doubts, Ling Yan was a little interested in this soul charmer, but since he was about to meet with Qin Fei, he had to go to the front line to see it, or he had to go deep into the mountains to see it.
"By the way, General Yao, how are you going to fight this battle?"
Ling Yan was not an expert in warfare, so he had to consult Yao Bai on how to launch an attack and when to launch a general attack.
Yao Bai pointed to the undulating mountain range in the sand table and said: "Xiaohong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the most difficult bone to gnaw among the bandits, and Tuxi Mountain only knows that the approximate location is here."
Looking in the direction of Yao Bai's finger, a sunken mountain range is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and more importantly, this place is extremely easy to get lost, and there is a very powerful poisonous fog in the morning and evening, and it is difficult to see from the sand table that there will be tens of thousands of people hiding in Tuxi Mountain.
As for the location of Xiaohongshan, the imperial court knows more clearly, but although it knows the approximate location, the difficulty of breaking through Xiaohongshan is also very huge, even a few points more difficult than Tuxi Mountain, because the defense line that Xiaohongshan now knows has three layers, and these three layers of defense have been heavily deployed by Xiang General Mengmo, as long as they go to attack, it is easy to be closed and beaten by people.
As for the many sporadic bandits in the mountains, they were frightened and surrendered directly when they learned that the imperial court launched a large army to suppress the bandits, but Yao Bai didn't believe in this part of the people very much, he still arrested many of the leaders of the cottage, even if they surrendered voluntarily, for Yao Bai, these bandits are guilty, and it is impossible to write off the past because you surrendered.
Those stubborn cottages were breached in just half a day, and the army had no grass to grow, that is, the cottages they had worked hard for many years were burned out in a fire, and the number of dead and wounded was as high as 500.
Although Ling Yan was sitting below, he didn't have to be quiet and taboo when he could talk to Yao Bai: "General Yao, can you tell me that I will be able to reach the old nest of Tuxi Mountain and Xiaohong Mountain at the latest, and how long will it take to capture these two places?"
In response to Ling Yan's question, Yao Bai replied truthfully: "To be precise, Yao Bai only dares to guarantee that in this anti-bandit operation, except for the two forces of Xiaohong Mountain and Tuxi Mountain, the other bandits only need a month, and I can eliminate them in a month."
But the latter question asked by Overseer Ling forgave Yao Bai and couldn't answer it. ” "Oh, why?"
"Ling Overseer, Xiaohong Mountain Tuxi Mountain is not an ordinary mountain bandit, their subordinates are all well-trained, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.
Moreover, the overseers should also know that the night owl Hongli Hongshan of Tuxi Mountain is the general of the Mengmo Imperial Court, and they have not succeeded in arresting them for so many years, and Yao Bai has been the general of this town in the southwest province for six or seven years, not to mention that it is really difficult to destroy them if they are added to Tuxi Mountain now. ” Ling Yan was puzzled: "It won't take two or three years, right?"
General Yao, if you waste so much effort to suppress bandits, it will take two or three years, and you, a general, probably won't have the face to do it again. ” Yao Bai shook his head: "Impossible, at most one year, now with the power of two states and one city in the Southwest Province, Yao Bai is confident that the bandits in the Southwest Province will be completely solved."
"That's good" Ling Yan got up, and all the generals present also followed, Ling Yan glanced around, and said to them: "All the generals are the pillars of the imperial court, and over the years, bandits have been rampant in the southwest, endangering the stability of the country, disrupting the lives of the people of Li, and killing innocents indiscriminately.
Today, all the monarchs have the will of the imperial court to participate in the great plan to suppress bandits, and I hope everyone will work hard. ” "Follow the teachings of the Overseer!"
After speaking, Ling Yan came out of the military tent, Yao Bai's personal guards followed Ling Yan to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ling Yan waved his hand and said that he didn't need it, he walked in the barracks, and the officers and soldiers who were in the formation were a little surprised to see Ling Yan only wearing civilian clothes and no armor in the army, not everyone knew Ling Yan's identity, so for a while, everyone was curious about Ling Yan, a person who could come and go freely in the army, but this curiosity completely disappeared after they learned Ling Yan's identity, and heaven and earth could not intersect.
This barracks is built on a high place, so you can see one mountain peak after another when you come out, this southwest road is mountainous, but the greedy Menghua occupies half of the two mountains, it is enough to see how wide the scope of these two mountains is, it is not easy to find the deliberately hidden Tuxi Mountain Xiaohong Mountain in this vast mountain.
On the way back to the capital from the southwest road, the stargazing prince led the three hundred forbidden troops to catch up with Hong Luoyu's carriage, but the forbidden army was still hundreds of meters away from Hong Luoyu's carriage and horses when they were stopped by the people of the ghost face camp, and the forbidden army guarding the palace did not have the courage to compete with the people in the ghost face camp, so in the end, the stargazing prince went to see Hong Luoyu alone.
Stargazing bowed to the ground outside the carriage, and said in his mouth: "Chief Division, there is something unclear about stargazing, and Stargazing has calculated for himself, and if you know that you can get the answer to the unknown things here, can you tell Stargazing?"
Hong Luoyu lifted the curtain and raised his eyelids slightly, this is to let Stargazer come in and talk, Stargazer carefully entered the carriage, and sat in a precarious position and didn't dare to look around, Hong Luoyu asked him to relax, and asked Stargazer what he wanted to ask.
"Director, some time ago, stargazing in the capital at night observed the sky and found that there was a vision of heaven and earth in the southwest province, probably because of the rolling thunder, and the reason for this vision was even more shocking, it was actually caused by someone who acted against the sky.
Do you know anything about it, Grand Secretary?
” Hong Luoyu crossed his hands and calmly placed them in front of him, and replied in a deep voice: "I don't know, but I'm curious about what stargazing is what you say about going against the sky?"
Stargazing's head, which had been lowered since he entered the carriage, was even lower at this time, and his voice was extremely nervous: "Than, such as changing the life against the sky, resurrecting the dead, etc."

Hong Luo smiled foolishly: "Well, change your life against the sky and come back to life, stargazing, I know that you practice the extremely rare Taoist Taoism, and you like these ethereal fantasies the most."
But in my life, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't believe in immortals and Buddhas, if I can really resurrect the dead, then so many soldiers sacrificed for the court should survive. ” "Stargazing understands" Stargazing exited the carriage, Hong Luoyu's eyes were deep, and his heart began to think more about this illusory thing.
Farewell to the people of the Ghost Face Camp, Stargazing and the three hundred forbidden troops took the first step to return to the order, and the stargazing who rode on horseback understood that Hong Luoyu intended to hide from him, but what about it?
Even Stargazing did not suspect that Hong Luoyu, the chief of the Heavenly Supervision Division, would do something unfavorable to the Taizheng Emperor, let alone something that would endanger the Taizheng Emperor.
"Don't be worry-free, right?"
A thought flashed in the mind of stargazing and then disappeared as if he had never come, high-headed horse, stargazing was in the golden silk clothes, but he was an official, and when he thought about things, he had gradually deviated from the bottom line that the golden silk clothes were not allowed to involve the government.
