The location of Xia Tai is already the most open place in the Guanzhong Plain, although there are occasional hills and ravines in the situation, but it is difficult to call it a land risk.

Since then, as we move to the northwest, such large plateaus have gradually become scarce, especially in the near-Fuping area, where there are many Luochuan tributaries delineating strata, and the terrain fluctuations have gradually become obvious. Because of the lack of a strong unified system for a long time, coupled with the destruction of years of war, many cultivated fields have been deserted, and rivers and canals have either silted up or flooded.

The main force of the Hongwu Army is currently stationed in this area, looking at Fuping in the west and Pucheng in the east. Although this area was ostensibly attributed to the puppet Han king Liu Changming, it did not actually establish any effective rule here.

The area where the Hongwu army is active, backed by a mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles, the old book is not famous, only in the local countryside there is a common name Qifengpo.

There is a very extensive river silt mudflat, called Wuyangpi, which has only been damaged by flooding for many years, and the plots that have been divided into fragments can no longer be connected in series. And such terrain also provided a certain guarantee for the Hongwu army, because dozens of miles away from this northeast is Pucheng, where more than 10,000 people of the Tu major army are stationed.

After crossing to the south, Wang Dao and other Taiwanese auxiliary consuls set up prefectures and counties to lead their own people, which was not the first time, as early as the Han Dynasty, Beidi County had such an arrangement. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the governance of Beidi County not only included Yiqu, but also reached Maling in the north and directly plugged the North Jiuyuan.

After the Han and Qiang people were in turmoil, especially in the chaos of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the northern county area was repeatedly shrunk, and even once parasited, saving its name but not its land. It was not until the Cao Wei period that the north had to govern the two counties of Fuping and Niyang, which were the northern barrier of Sanfu. The Wei and Jin dynasties were handed over until Liu Yao entered the main Guanzhong, and the north was slightly restored to the old rule and moved north to Yiqu.

Today's Fuping is on the edge of Sanfu land, it is also the most serious area of Han and Hu intersection, to the south is the vast Sanfu Plain, to the north to Jitou Mountain, it is the mixed gathering of Hu, Qiang, Di, Xianbei and other large and small tribes, widely distributed between Jing and Luo, relying on the Meridian Ridge, active in Gaolong loess.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, the Hongwu army drove in, which happened to penetrate the gap between the powerful forces of all parties, to the north is Liu Changming, the puppet Han king who is temporarily the leader of a group of miscellaneous Hu, and to the south is the Sanfu area controlled by the right of Jin Minhao.

Of course, this is just a rough division, after the successive migrations of the two Zhao and the fierce and powerful fighting each other, the division of various forces in Guanzhong is also a mess, and it is difficult to distinguish clearly.

For example, the several dock walls that Xiao Yuandong led his troops to break through before, their respective masters, including the tribes, were also mixed with Han and Hu, and there was no clear division.

At present, the main force of the Hongwu Army is located in Qifengpo, gathering more than 1,000 soldiers, and the others are each based on the battalion as a unit, with Qifengpo as the center and active in the surrounding area, or attacking the city and pulling out the village, or recuperating on the spot.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Yuandong rarely took the scroll and read it carefully, but what he read was not the Spring and Autumn Classics or the Military Book Taoluo, but the "Medical Food Journal" compiled by the Tianzhong Engineering Institute. It may seem amusing to the Overseer's book, but in fact it means more to the Hongwu Army than any other military books that record the strategies of gods and ghosts.

"These ghost talisman books are really dizzying!"

Although age and power are growing, but people's temperament is difficult to change, Xiao Yuandong read for a while, then threw the scroll on the desk, turned to get up and put on armor, and began to patrol the camp.

Each of the four armies in Taiwan has distinctive characteristics, including all aspects, and is different from the temperament of ordinary battalions. The camp located in Qifengpo is not so much a military camp as it looks more like a village inhabited by civilians.

Although the main body of the camp is still a well-arranged camphouse, surrounded by horse rejection, ravines, lookout posts, arrow towers, etc., the interior is not as rigorous as the ordinary camp. The soldiers can walk calmly, there are water mills, continuous mills, grain fields, hemp ponds, smelting and casting, etc., and there is even a small military market for the soldiers of each battalion to exchange what they have.

If it is said that the main camp of the ordinary army is a place where the elite of the army gathers and exercises and maintains combat effectiveness, then the large camp of the Hongwu Army is more like a supplementary recuperation base, and the soldiers of each battalion who are active outside are the sharp minions of this army.

This made Xiao Yuandong very uncomfortable. The Fenwu army under his command before, where it is necessary to manage these, the most important task is to get into battle and pull out the camp, no matter which side is used, pay attention to a quick battle, and there is no need to worry about logistics and supply problems at all, and sometimes a battalion of generals needs the full cooperation of thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers.

It's good now, after taking over the Hongwu Army, not only must we formulate a plan for presiding over the battle, but we must also pay attention to trivial matters such as cooking and repairing. There are thousands of Hongwu soldiers, and there are nearly 2,000 full-time craftsmen alone, among which the status of specialized talents is even higher than that of those elite soldiers.

Of course, this is not to say that the Hongwu Army has low combat effectiveness because of this, in fact, even those craftsmen, the vast majority of them are elite soldiers selected from various armies, but relatively speaking, the production function is slightly higher than the combat function.

Moreover, in terms of military discipline, the Hongwu Army has much stricter requirements, and even surpasses the Fenwu Army. For example, if there is an iron buckle in the belt of the military uniform, it must be directly under the navel in the camp, and if it is found that it is not in the right position, it will be flogged. The camp is walking in steps, not diagonally, etc. Many regulations are not only limited to daily life and food, but even include descriptions of appearance.

Large and small rules, at the beginning, even Xiao Yuandong, the main general, felt cumbersome and could not strictly abide by them. However, after actually following the habit and forming a habit, I feel that my self-discipline has been greatly improved.

Walking to the northwest corner of the camp, there is a hidden sound of instrumental music, and there are soldiers lining up to enter the bamboo shed, and there is a stage set up in the bamboo shed, and there are servants playing on it. This is the special treatment of the Hongwu Army, even during the war, the army carries Youling.

Xiao Yuan walked east to the nearest place, and then walked into it to appreciate it for a while, and when he saw the drama on stage, he couldn't help but show a little proud and embarrassed smile on his face. Because the drama performed on stage is related to him, it is called "Xiao Hou Capture Drama", which is exactly the deeds of his early capture of Zhao Guo Shikan in Hebei.

The soldiers watching the play in the bamboo shed also noticed the arrival of the general, and when they saw the heroes and famous generals on the stage appearing in front of them alive, they were all excited, but they didn't dare to get carried away, they got up and high-fived, and stopped drinking. And Xiao Yuandong also reserved his head and responded with his fists on his chest.

On the west side of the theater is the prisoner of war camp, which is already overcrowded, and there are many noisy noises outside. The sight of several strings of human heads hanging around the prisoner of war camp is quite palpitating, and the reason why these people were beheaded was not all heinous crimes, and a considerable number of them were even ridiculously killed, either because they were suffering from epidemics and concealed from them, or they defecated everywhere in the camp.

The military position responsible for the management of the prisoner of war camp is called the staff service, which is also the military position set up by the General's Office to be the division of logistics matters established by the Fourth Army. The counselor's name was Gao Shi, a young man in his early twenties, and when he saw the general coming, he stepped forward with a bitter face and said, "General, the camp is full again...... Do you want to expand it again? ”

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he suddenly felt that his head was big. Previously, there was a need for Liwei in the new army, and he organized several major attacks, capturing thousands, some of whom were selected and organized for military use, but there were also a large number of old and weak women and children, who could not be thrown into the wilderness, and could only be imprisoned.

Later, the battalions moved separately, and they were also frequently captured and returned. In the course of more than a month, the number of prisoners alone had accumulated nearly 10,000 people, and the cost of maintaining their basic survival was very staggering. Although some of them are put into production, the output is really not enough to meet such a huge consumption.

These Guanzhong people are also strange to say, when they are on the dock wall or wandering in the suburbs, they all behave as fierce warriors, and the crane-haired old men dare to fight with a cane. But once captured, they all behaved extremely docile, neither resisting nor making noise, and they had a somewhat submissive attitude of accepting their fate.

Otherwise, Xiao Yuandong would not dare to accept the prisoners who were already several times more powerful than the military strength of his headquarters. Now these captives are not accurate to say that they were captured in battle, but have become a burden, docile and harmless, and they will not be dispersed. What's even worse is that Xiao Yuandong neither dares nor bears to order the battle without leaving prisoners, otherwise more than half of the prisoners in this camp are afraid that they will be ambushed in the countryside.

After joining the Hongwu Army, Xiao Yuandong realized that the battle was not only a decisive victory in the battle array, but he was actually relied on by these Guanzhong fathers! I can't bear to kill cruelly, I can't chase it, and I don't dare to use it to the fullest.

"Let's expand the camp for 2,000 people first."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yuandong said again. Despite this arrangement, he also understood that this state of affairs could not be maintained for a long time, and with so many people living here, even if there was no sign of collusion and resistance, it would be expensive to survive alone. What's more, there are strong enemies watching around, once you break through the blockade of the periphery and rush to the near edge, a moment of benevolence may lead to trouble.

"The army of the king division should have been drawn in, if there are no more variables in the short term, we can only temporarily abandon the camp here and turn to the side to station."

Xiao Yuandong never dreamed that one day he would be forced to temporarily go aside by a group of homeless people. In previous years, whether in Huainan or Henan, although there were such situations, there will soon be officials who are dedicated to this place to accept the past. But now his department is the only force of Wang Shi in Sanfu, and everything is decided by him, which makes him overwhelmed.

No, there are other forces!

This thought flashed in his heart, and Xiao Yuandong's eyebrows were also slightly raised, but after a while, he shook his head and sighed: "It doesn't seem to be very reliable......"

He naturally thought of Wang Meng, who was in the back road, because of the general's special explanation, which also made Xiao Yuandong have a lot of hopes for him. But Xiao Yuandong didn't dare to have much expectation of this young man's actual ability.

"Let's let people choose a place to move first."

Although the captives behaved very docilely, they were essentially afraid of being strong and did not dare to riot, just like dry grass on a dry day, the slightest spark splash can become a prairie fire, which is a very big hidden danger. Once captured by the enemy, they will turn around and become a troubled bandit of thieves.

Xiao Yuandong also had a plan hidden in his heart, to temporarily withdraw the main force of the army from Qifengpo, choose a place to settle down in the surrounding area, and if these people were really chaotic, they would be killed immediately. Otherwise, these people can also be used as bait to lure thieves to attack and annihilate the enemy.

This arrangement may be a bit cruel with his intentions, but he is a general who is in charge of recruitment, and it would be the greatest dereliction of duty to blindly ignore the military for the sake of these uneducated and obedient Guanzhong tourists.

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

"Call men to you."

Xiao Yuandong returned to the tent and sat down, and then someone hurried in under the guidance of the soldiers, one of them was Wang Xue, the battalion owner he sent to Xiatai, and the other people made introductions, all of whom were subordinate officials of Xiatai County.

"The king is overjoyed, Xia Tai County has ordered Zhai Ci and Wang Meng to know the county, and we are specially sent to report the victory!"

Wang Xue entered the account, bowed first, and then raised his head and said.
