"Sir, why do you have to encourage others and destroy your own prestige?"
Tang Bohan came in and said, "No matter how strong the Northern Di are, they are still human beings. As long as we are not afraid, we will never lose. Hasn't the Zhenbei Army won many battles?"
Song Huaian said, "How many years have they been tempered on the battlefield? How many years have you been tempered on the battlefield? Don't think that bullying those bandits is exciting. When you get to the battlefield, who knows how many people will wet their pants, and who knows how many will die of fright."
Duan Yongfeng asked, "What are you doing here?"
Tang Bohan said, "Someone asked us to kill someone. Guess who?"
Duan Yongfeng was still thinking, but Song Huaian had already said, "Could it be the adults?"
"As expected of Mr. Song, you are indeed very smart. Could it be that the Lord asked you to lead us?"
Tang Bohan said: "Although the person who gave the task didn't reveal his identity, I can tell that it's the Xiong family."
Song Huaian sneered: "Since you killed two people in his family, it's normal for you to want revenge."
"Not two, but four." Tang Bohan said, "The latest news is that Xiong Hongyi and Xiong Hongzhe, who were sent by the Xiong family to retaliate, were both shot to death by the adults in the name of suppressing bandits."
"Xiong Hongzhe is dead? What a pity!"
Duan Yongfeng said regretfully, "He's the martial arts instructor of the Xiong family and the Northwest Frontier Army. I'd like to have a competition with him."
"Don't talk about these nonsense. I have already asked someone to take over the task of the Xiong family. Let's leave them alone for now." Tang Baihan said.
"Um."
Song Huaian nodded and said, "Inform the adults of this news."
Tang Bohan said, "I want to ask you, sir, what should we do next? With an army of 50,000, we can't just hide and act like bandits forever, right? This is completely contrary to the original intention of your training."
Song Huaian smiled: "Of course I know, that's why I called you here. Let's talk about it after Xia Dayu and the others arrive."
Soon, Xia Dayu and Sun Yidou arrived.
There are 50,000 troops, with Song Huaian as the main general and commanding 10,000 cavalry as the central army. These four people each command 10,000 and are hidden in various places.
This is Zhao Lin’s difficulty.
He has both money and food.
But there was no place to hide the troops.
If people found out that he secretly had such an elite army of 50,000, even Cheng Xiao would not be able to protect him, and the first person to be killed would definitely be Fu Chengwang.
"Hiding like this isn't the solution. I've decided to capture a city and make it my base. What do you think?"
Song Huaian asked.
The four of them looked at each other, and Tang Bohan asked, "Which city are you planning to attack?"
There are many foreign ethnic groups in the Golden Desert, the most famous of which are the Nine Clans of Tiele.
That is, they are all Tiele people, but they are divided into nine surnames.
Each of the nine Tiele clans controls a city. They usually fight with each other, but once there is an external enemy, they will quickly join forces and firmly control the richest places in the Golden Desert.
"I'm going to attack Dingling City."
Song Huaian took out the map and pointed on it.
"Dingling City is not far from us. It is the weakest city among the nine Tiele clans and is located at the outermost part of the nine cities, making it the most suitable target."
“But it’s not easy to fight.”
Xia Dayu said in a deep voice, "I've been to Dingling City. Although its walls aren't as strong as our Daqi's, they're still very high and thick. Plus, they have thousands of defenders, so it's hard to take them by force. Besides, we don't have any siege equipment, so relying solely on human lives isn't cost-effective."
"What about a sneak attack?" Sun Yidou asked.
Xia Dayu shook his head: "With dozens or hundreds of people, we might be able to launch a surprise attack, but with thousands or more, we'll be discovered as soon as we get close."
Song Huaian said in a deep voice: "They often fight each other, so they are very alert."
"Neither strong attack nor sneak attack works, what are you going to do?" Tang Bohan asked.
"An insider."
Song Huaian said, "I plan to enter Dingling City under the pretext of a caravan to see if I can win over some people and open the city gates."
"If we can open the city gate, we can easily capture Dingling City with our current military strength, but it's difficult. These foreign tribes are on guard against each other, which has an impact on us." Xia Dayu echoed.
Duan Yongfeng winked and said, "I heard that the mayor of Dingling City is a beautiful young woman. Why don't you just take her down?"
"Nonsense." Song Huaian said with a dark face: "This is not a joke."
Duan Yongfeng was disappointed and said, "It would be great if the Lord came. He is handsome and can definitely make the city lord surrender the city on his own initiative."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
This section of Yongfeng is just out of tune.
"That's it for now. If there is anything you can decide on yourselves, come and discuss it later if you can't make a decision. If it really doesn't work, send a letter to ask the adults." Song Huaian said.
The crowd dispersed.
Tang Bohan stayed.
"Is there something wrong?" Song Huaian asked.
Tang Bohan asked, "Tell me, why did the Lord ask us to come here?"
"Of course it's training. There's no point in training just to suppress bandits and rebellions, don't you know that?" Song Huaian asked curiously.
Tang Bohan said, "That's the problem. Why is your Excellency training troops for no reason? Besides, the Qingzhou Army only has 30,000 soldiers, but those 30,000 are already full."
Song Huaian said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Tang Bohan lowered his voice and said, "Our 50,000 soldiers are a shameful private army."
Song Huaian had no expression on his face.
Seeing this, Tang Bohan said anxiously, "I want to ask you, do you know what the adults are planning? Owning private soldiers is a serious crime of rebellion. The lighter punishment is the extermination of the entire family, and the more serious is the extermination of all nine generations of the clan."
Song Huaian sneered and said, "You also know the law."
Tang Bohan said angrily, "I'm talking to you about serious matters."
Song Huaian pointed in the direction of Shuozhou and asked, "Does the Xiong family have private soldiers?"
