The east of the river and the border of the state, there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, and the war has caused many people to flee completely. They either go into hiding in the depths of the mountains or become bandits. Either they ran to the area controlled by the Republican Army in the south, or they entered the annexed state area in the north, where the officers and troops were the most combat-ready.

"Birds. At the beginning, Lao Tzu also stayed in a regiment, and those bullshit Black Mountain Army were all a group of grass chickens. Pei Yuanshao said with a kettle. He carried his own bag, and apart from the weapons that the adjutant on the side carried on his back, his dress was not much different from that of a soldier, except for his rank. His rank suddenly became colonel.

Pei Yuanshao is a scoundrel. In the words of Zhou Cang. He forcibly changed his rank and wanted to be the commander of the regiment, so that he could fight. He himself felt that if he didn't fight, his heart would be very uncomfortable. Or, it is uncomfortable up and down, such a situation makes him feel uncomfortable. But it's also his favorite place. War can mobilize him.

"Hehe, sir, we are fighting the Hun army this time. We don't have cavalry support. One of the recruits said boldly.

"Damn, no wonder you're a recruit, you didn't go to war at first glance." Pei Yuanshao said disdainfully. The veteran on the side hurriedly taught a lesson.

However, Pei Yuanshao didn't care, talking to these recruits could also make him feel better about himself. After all, his head of the regiment was not easy to come by. It's even more difficult to get a fight.

"What happened to the Huns? Let me tell you, this Hun is also carrying a head on two shoulders, and our weapons are hitting in a row, damn it, he will roll down like this. When Lao Tzu was fighting in Pingyang County. Damn it, those Huns, bird-like. Lao Tzu's people in their early 2,000s pressed eight or nine thousand people to fight. They still have no temper when they fight, if it weren't for their reinforcements coming quickly, Lao Tzu would eat them all in one go. Pei Yuanshao said. When the recruits heard this, they didn't care about anything else.

The reason is simple, they have heard about such results for a long time. Now when they hear their commander say it himself, they still feel very amazing, at the very least, they feel very excited, this is a military offensive in the real sense, or rather, this is a combat force posture in the real sense.

"This kind of battle, we can do many, many times, and every time we fight, we can easily get a result, this is the result we need, such a result, this is what we should do the most." Pei Yuanshao said.

"Do you see the weapon in our hands? This kind of weapon is what we must respect and pay the most attention to, and with such a thing, such things can be accomplished to the greatest extent. He said excitedly.

The soldiers tightened their hands even more as they spoke. The advantage of the republican army is here, firearms are the best weapon against the Hun cavalry, and when the Hun cavalry encounters more than a battalion of republican infantry, they usually do not attack directly. The reason is simple, they need to bear a huge cost of casualties in order to break through the opponent's defenses. The Republican army's will to fight was too tenacious for the Huns to do so, because doing so would mean that they would suffer heavy losses, and many things would make their situation extremely difficult. That's the hardest thing for them to deal with.

With these weapons, their development speed will be greatly improved.

The whole team is still moving north, their task is very simple, using flexible tactics, to give the Huns the greatest heavy blow, so that the Huns have no time to take care of their military operations in the rear, which can be regarded as a kind of tactical containment. Just a regiment, how much combat effect they can have. They themselves don't know. In short, such a thing also requires them to make some specific situations.

"What do you think?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu after reading it.

"I think, okay. This was a very advantageous weapon, and on the side of the Huns, the forces of the bazaar were often more useful than the strength of our two infantry divisions placed there. This was the power of the merchants, and the Huns lacked quite a lot of supplies. Iron pots, household goods, and even paper need to be bought from us, and the things they produce, for example, dairy products, meat products, these things can meet our needs to the greatest extent, and if we do do that, what will be the result, our situation will become extremely favorable, and in such a situation, many of our things will become favorable. This is more advantageous than two infantry divisions. Jia Xu agreed.

Jia Xu also saw the benefits of using the bazaar, which would make their situation much more favorable, and this situation was where they could get the most support.

"It's good, but the problem is that there is a problem that we still need to solve, and if we can't solve such a problem, many of our things will not be properly handled to such things." Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

"These businessmen, how do they get there, how do we encourage them to do that, you know, they're taking a lot of risks." Shang Wu said.

"This, I think, businessmen are naturally adventurous. As long as there is enough profit, it is enough for them to take such risks. Jia Xu said.

"Well, then, we're going to give us the maximum support in terms of tax exemption and the acquisition of their goods." Shang Wu had already figured out how to deal with it, and in this way, most of their affairs were solved. This kind of thing is still very good for them.

"This kind of thing, we can naturally do it to let them take risks in more situations and reduce costs at the same time, but I think we can also build more factories in Hedong, so that we can solve some problems nearby, so that we can expand our trade with them a lot faster." Shang Wu said.

"Well, however, it is not enough to simply open the market in the area under our control, we should see the entire steppe, should we talk to the Huns, after all, we cannot delay until the cold winter battle, which is a huge drain on the logistics burden of our troops, as well as transportation, plus the disadvantage of transportation and supplies, which will cause us great losses. Besides, we have not yet gained a firm foothold in Hexi, and if the war continues, it will be very troublesome, and the winter in the northern grasslands is coming very early, and we need to deal with it in time. Jia Xu said.

"Well, in this case, we can prepare for such a thing, after all, if we can meet our situation to the greatest extent, it will form a great situation in our favor. Such a situation would be of great benefit to us. Shang Wu said.

Fighting is not the goal, the purpose of fighting is ultimately to negotiate, and only when such a situation is reached can they be in a favorable situation, and in such a situation, the best solution can be formed.

"I think it's better to leave this kind of thing to businessmen, because they can do such things, and they have a great advantage in this regard, after all, we are too short of diplomatic talents in this area." Jia Xu said.

Shangwu nodded, it is a fact that none of them can achieve a unified translation in terms of language, sometimes. There are several different ways to translate the three translations. This is very detrimental to their understanding of the external environment. It can be said that this is an obstacle.

"This matter should be left to the intelligence services to be carried out as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed until the winter, and it should be at the end of August at the latest. There should be a dynamic as early September. If it's too late, it's not easy to unfold. Our condition is that we can trade with them, and we can exchange what we have, but it must be equal. That's where we make the biggest concession, and if they don't accept it, then we'll go to war to see if they're good or if we're good. Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu nodded and recorded it.

Hedong, the headquarters of Ma Heng.

"Well, it's still delicious, but this cheese made from milk is not bad, isn't it. Dry, some sweet, but a little sour. Ma Heng said.

Ma Heng is also very concerned about logistics supplies, because these materials can meet many of their needs in this regard to the greatest extent, and even, if they are not able to do such a situation, many situations are still unfavorable to them.

"How? Let's talk about it. Ma Heng said after taking a bite of beef jerky.

"It's delicious, much better than our compressed biscuits. That thing was too hot to eat, and it was too dry, and the soldiers said that throwing it out would kill people. A staff officer said.

"This cheese is soft and soft, and if it is heated, it is even better. It would be even better if you could eat beef every day. An operations staff officer said with a smile.

"Hahaha. Eat beef every day, how many cattle have to be killed. The chief was still very distressed when he heard this. The staff officer said.

"Yes." Many staff officers said so. They are constantly looking for new logistical food, if they eat well. Soldiers naturally have the strength to fight, but if they don't eat well, it will affect their morale, and the impact is still very large, so they must pay attention to such a point. It's something they have to recognize.

"I think this thing will be available in the future. Maybe I eat it every day, and I think it's not a good thing. Ma Heng said with a smile, and the staff officers couldn't believe their ears.
