Guo Yi's face showed surprise, since he came to Jinyang Mansion, he only saw Luo Xin at the beginning, and he never saw Luo Xin again, and Luo Xin didn't give them a good face, so he didn't know Luo Xin. Now that he heard that Gongsun Lie actually had this thought, how could he not be shocked in his heart?

"Brother, you can't think of this idea! Don't forget, we are here with another mission, which is to report Luo Xin's every move to the Holy Saint today. ”

"Of course, I won't hide anything from my uncle, and what my uncle did didn't make me embarrassed. I will report it to the truth. However, brother, I advise you, when you come here, don't think about your identity as a Dongchang anymore. In addition to objectively reporting what happened, everything still has to be honestly obeyed by the uncle's orders. Uncle is a righteous man and will not harm us. And we won't get any less credit. Uncle didn't like these military exploits at all, and the reason why I was promoted to 100 households this time was because my uncle gave all of us all his military exploits. The uncle is a literati, and he will enter the cabinet in the future, so he doesn't need these military exploits at all. ”

Guo Yi's heart moved, and he thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, brother, I listen to you." However, can the uncle really enter the cabinet? You must know that the Ming Dynasty is now all southerners in the cabinet, and there are no northerners in the cabinet. ”

"Look at it, this time I will try, and my uncle will let those southern talents see what the real talents are."

"However, Luo Xin is Lu Tingfang's disciple, and the old ...... of Yan Ge"

"Yan Song is old!" Gongsun Lie said lightly.

Above the hillside.

Luo Xin looked ahead, looked back at the army of more than 2,000 people, and said softly: "This is the first time I have seen such a scale of Ming army slaughtering into the grassland. ”

Zhao Yong was silent for a moment and said, "It's the first time for me. No, no. To be honest, I don't have a bottom in my heart. ”

Luo Xin smiled bitterly, but still cheered up: "Although General Zhao did not go deep into the grassland, he also fought with the Mongols no less than a hundred times, and it is not a problem that there are no light camps. ”

Zhao Yong was silent for a moment and said, "This is the first time I have commanded a battle alone. ”

Luo Xin's heart fluttered, and he took a deep breath. calmed down and said:

"The general has been following General Ma for many years, right?" The implication is that you have followed Ma Fang for so many years, and you have all been officers to deputy commanders-in-chief, so you have never commanded the army alone?

Zhao Yong was a little embarrassed and said: "In the past, I carried out General Ma's orders. ”

Luo Xin secretly wiped his sweat, feeling that this General Zhao was not much better than himself and his eldest brother. Speaking of this, Zhao Yong looked at Luo Xin and said:

"No, you can plan an operation to defeat Alatan Khan, but we need to plan a lot more from you in this steppe operation."

Although Luo Xin was made bottomless by Zhao Yong at this time, he still stiffened up and said, "General Zhao doesn't need to worry too much. As long as we master the two of boldness and prudence, we can cross the grassland. ”

"Bold and cautious?" Zhao Yong confused Luo Xin's words, and these two words didn't look like they were next to each other.

"We are cautious and then bold. Before each operation, scouts are sent to scout carefully, and when we encounter small camps, we will fight, and large camps will bypass, which is prudence. Once we have set our goals, we strike decisively. That's audacity. ”

"What a bold and cautious one!" Zhao Yong couldn't help but applaud.

"General Zhao has been through a hundred battles, although he has never commanded an army alone. But with a good sense of everything, you will definitely be able to beat the Mongolian cavalry. ”

Zhao Yong was silent for a moment and said, "I think so too. ”

Luo Xin couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat in his heart again, this Zhao Yong is not a modest lord! Just now, he looked bottomless, but now he is full of confidence.

Seeing Luo Xin's appearance, Zhao Yong couldn't help but smile and said, "No, my self-confidence doesn't come from myself. Rather, it came from the two thousand cavalry behind me. If you replace them with other frontier troops, I will not dare to lead them into the steppe at all. These soldiers are all elites brought out by General Ma himself. To deal with hundreds of Mongols, you don't need to command at all, just a strong attack, and you can kill the opponent to the ground. ”

"yes!" Luo Xin listened. I can't help but be sure. Who are these people? They are all cavalrymen who have followed Ma Fang in a hundred battles. Ma Fang is a big madman, these people are little madmen!

"In this way, this trip to the grassland will definitely be a great victory!"

Who knew that Zhao Yong shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, we are likely to die in the grassland." ”

"Why?"

Zhao Yong frowned deeply and said, "If we just annihilate small tribes, we won't have any problems. The concern is that when the number of tribes we annihilate increases, it will inevitably arouse the idea of Alatan Khan. If we evacuate at that time, there will be no problem, but it will not give Alatan Khan a wake-up call, let alone make Alatan Khan afraid, but will make him even more crazy and frantically intrude on the Ming border. For they did not frighten him, nor even hurt him. He would think that they would only dare to infest their small tribes on a small scale, and that they would not be a threat to him. Therefore, for the sake of honor and fame, he will definitely intrude on the Daming border even more frantically. In this way, our operation not only did not achieve the desired results, but had the opposite effect, making the border passes more erosive and plunging into the flames of war.

However, if we do not evacuate, we are likely to be surrounded by the army of Alatan Khan, and the Mongols will surely track us everywhere and want to kill us in the steppe. If we don't kill us, Alatan Khan's reputation will fall in the steppe, and perhaps even his position as Great Khan will be unstable. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of our operation, we must not evacuate, and at worst we will have to deal with Alatan Khan in the steppe, so how to avoid the tracking and encirclement of the Mongol army is a top priority.

No, I didn't command a campaign on my own, but you planned and commanded a campaign on your own, and you won a big victory. If you don't mind, I want to give you command of this army. ”

"Give it to me?" Luo Xin looked at him in surprise.

"Not bad!" Zhao Yong stared straight at Luo Xin and said: "You command, as long as you promise me not to charge into battle, only command in the back." ”

Luo Xin's face showed a wry smile: "You didn't say that just to let me stay behind, did you?" ”
