The setting sun illuminated the courtyard into a golden color. Yang Qing thrust forward several swords in succession, and the shadows of the swords flashed with great speed.
Under the reflection of the sword light and sunlight, his swordsmanship actually gave off a sense of sharpness. Even Mulan, who didn't understand swordsmanship, couldn't help but secretly praise his good swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship is naturally good, as it was taught by General Zhao Zilong. Yang Qing has been practicing diligently since he learned swordsmanship from General Zhao. After a few months, he thought he was still quite good at it.
"Okay, Mr. Fu is really becoming more and more proficient in his swordsmanship." Someone suddenly came into the corridor and praised him.
Yang Qing sheathed his sword, took the handkerchief from Mulan, turned around and smiled at the visitor: "Bo Qi is finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhang Yi was not surprised. He bowed and said, "Master Fu, you are still here to ask for orders to lead the troops on the expedition."
Yang Qing smiled without answering and returned the kerchief to Mulan. Mulan knew that her master wanted to discuss important business, so she bowed to the two of them and left on her own.
Back in the study, Yang Qing put the Qingyuan Sword back into the sword case, pointed to the guest seat on the lower right, and motioned for Zhang Yi to sit down and talk.
"Boqi, I have made the decision to send troops this time. I will lead the troops myself."
Seeing that Zhang Yi wanted to stand up and speak, Yang Qing stretched out his hand and said, "Don't get excited first, just listen to me slowly."
"Although the Yi people's dispatch of hundreds of cavalry caught us by surprise, it was also a good opportunity for us to annihilate the rebels' effective strength."
Zhang Yi had some understanding: "What does the Lord Fu mean?"
Yang Qing smiled: "As long as we find a way to eat these five hundred cavalry, we will not only shock Gao Ding, but also consume his elite strength and reduce the burden on the army in countering rebellion in the future."
"So, Bo Qi, this time I send troops not just to drive away the barbarian soldiers, but to prepare for a big annihilation battle. Therefore, although I am leading the troops this time, it does not mean that you have no chance to go to the battlefield." Yang Qing walked up to Zhang Yi and said.
Zhang Yi stood up and said uncertainly: "So, Yi..."
Yang Qing patted his shoulder, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Li Qiucheng's head must be yours."
After hearing this promise, Zhang Ni left the table excitedly and came to the hall. She solemnly bowed to Yang Qing and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Fu."
Yang Qing stretched out his hands to help him up, and said softly: "Gong Mansion Lord has such a close friend as Bo Qi, I think he will be happy that he is alive in heaven."
When Zhang Ni left, it was already dark, and the attendants had already lit the two lanterns under the eaves.
Yang Qing walked slowly in the courtyard outside the house with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to deal with this war.
The hundreds of barbarian cavalry must be a considerable force in Gao Ding's hands. If they can be annihilated in one fell swoop, they will certainly be able to deal a heavy blow to the rebel forces.
Moreover, if you want to build a strong army, you must make your soldiers go through the test of blood and fire. Only in this way can your soldiers' combat power be quickly enhanced.
Of course, he would not make fun of the lives of the new recruits who had only been trained for more than a month. I am afraid that the new recruits can only fight with the wind at present, so this attack must win, so as to inject the belief of a strong army into the new recruits from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Yang Qing sighed deeply. The training time was still too short. It seems that Couture and the others responded very quickly. Less than two months after he took office, the rebels made a big move for him.
What is Gao Ding’s intention in sending troops this time? Is it really just robbing the people to consume one's own strength? Here we have to carefully consider the enemy's intentions.
It is impossible to say that Huo Jian, a senior insider of the rebels, knew Gaoding's intention to send troops. He should capture the spy now so that he could learn from his mouth.
Thinking of this, Yang Qing stopped, with a tangled look on his face. After a long time, he sighed and his expression remained as usual. Forget it, the Huo family's line is extremely valuable, so don't touch it now.
"Master Fu, Huo Bingcao wants to see you."
Yang Qing's thoughts were interrupted by the report from an attendant. Unexpectedly, he was thinking of Huo Jian just now, but he didn't expect this man to come. Anyway, it’s time to see what this guy’s purpose is, maybe you can get something from his words.
Back in the house, Yang Qing asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you have something important to do when you come here so late?" In order to make Huo Jian put down his guard, he not only smiled but also called his cousin affectionately.
"Master Fu, all the food, grass and equipment are basically ready. There will be no problem with the materials for the army's expedition tomorrow." Huo Jian reported respectfully.
It is only more than fifty miles from Anshang County to the border area near Dingxiang. Fighting at home in this county does not require much military resources.
"Very good, I always feel at ease when my uncle does things. You will also go with me when we send out troops tomorrow. I cannot do without you as a soldier to praise military plans." Yang Qing said with a smile.
He had decided to take this person with him early in the morning. He did not dare to let this big traitor cause trouble behind the army at will. Only by keeping this person under his nose could he fight with peace of mind.
Moreover, Huo Jian is going to be of great use, and he needs to keep him with him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. Jian is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses." Huo Jian bowed his hands.
After that, he said with a smile: "To be honest with you, even if you don't order generals, Jian will still go with the army. The subordinates came this time to report the military preparations, and secondly, to ask the master to go there." Counselor for Military Affairs. Unexpectedly, before I had time to say anything, the Lord ordered his subordinates to be dispatched."
Huo Jian paused and continued: "I just heard the meaning of Mr. Fu's words. Has it been decided that Mr. Fu will personally lead the troops to go on an expedition tomorrow?"
This guy is also agile.
Yang Qing nodded and said: "Only when I lead the troops on an expedition can you, a soldier, follow the army and praise the painting."
"That's great. The Lord of Fu will personally lead the troops. It will definitely boost the morale of the soldiers. In this way, the Yi soldiers will no longer have to worry about it, and Governor Gong's great revenge will be avenged." Huo Jian raised his palms excitedly. shouted.
This guy is a little too excited, isn't his acting so good?
Yang Qing glanced at him casually and said calmly: "Yes, Lord Gong and the more than 300 county soldiers and officials were all killed by Li Qiucheng. This time I will definitely capture this guy and avenge them. "
Having said this, Yang Qing looked at Huo Jian again, and saw an expression of approval on his face, without any hint of guilt. Seeing himself looking over, he looked over with firm eyes and nodded in agreement.
Well, this guy's acting skills are really good.
Although Huo Jian's acting skills were good, he didn't know that he had already been seen through by Yang Qing, and not only was he exposed, but the Huo family behind him was also exposed.
This time out of the city to fight, Yang Qing would not waste the great opportunity to use Huo Jian as a spy.
Therefore, Yang Qing naturally wanted to take Wu Que with him when he sent troops this time, so that he could keep track of the latest information. Fortunately, Wu Que's apparent identity was still an officer in his guard, so he would not attract attention.
After Huo Jian left with joy, Yang Qing called Yang Xi and Wu Que to jointly plan the use of Huo Jian's fine line.
Now that Yang Xi and Wu Que were familiar with detailed intelligence operations, they already had a preliminary strategy without Yang Qing's need to say more. After hearing this, Yang Qing felt that it was pretty good, but he just felt a little cautious.
He expressed his thoughts again. Although Yang Xi and Wu Que felt a little dangerous, they were finally convinced and said that this strategy could be implemented tomorrow.
