Guo Yi's face showed a look of shock, he never came to Jinyang Mansion, he just saw Luo Xin once, and never saw Luo Xin again, and Luo Xin didn't give them a good face, so he didn't understand Luo Xin.Now hearing that Gongsun Lie had such thoughts, how could he not be shocked?
"Brother, you have such a bad idea! Don't forget, we have another mission here, which is to report Luo Xin's every move to the present Holy Majesty."

"Of course, I will not hide anything for Uncle, and there is nothing embarrassing about what Uncle has done. I will report the truth. However, brother, I advise you, come here, just Don't think about your identity as Dongchang. In addition to reporting what happened objectively, you must obey the uncle's orders honestly. Uncle is a loyal person and will not harm us. And the obtained The credit will not be less than us. Uncle doesn’t care about these military achievements at all. The reason why I was promoted to a hundred households this time is because the uncle gave all the military achievements to the four of us. Uncle is a literati. I want to join the cabinet, so I don’t need these military achievements at all.”

Guo Yi's heart was moved, and he thought for a while and said, "Thank you, brother, I listen to you. But, uncle can really join the cabinet? You must know that all the southerners in Ming Dynasty are now in the cabinet, and no northerners have joined the cabinet yet. .”

"Look at it, this time I will try, Uncle will let those talented southerners see what a real talented person is."

"However, Luo Xin is Lu Tingfang's disciple, that old Yange..."

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

On the hillside.

Luo Xin looked ahead, then glanced back at the [-]-strong army and said softly, "This is the first time I've seen such a large Ming army enter the grassland."

Zhao Yong was silent for a moment and said: "It's also my first time. No, to be honest, I don't know the bottom line."

Luo Xin smiled wryly, but he still cheered up: "Although General Zhao didn't go deep into the grassland, he fought the Mongols no less than a hundred times. It's no problem that there is no light and strong camp."

Zhao Yong was silent for a moment and said: "This is the first time I command a battle alone."

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

"Has the general been with General Ma for many years?" The implication is that you have been with Ma Fang for so many years, and you have been an officer to the deputy general, so you have not commanded the army alone?

Zhao Yong said with a little shame: "In the past, I always carried out the orders of General Ma."

Luo Xin secretly wiped his sweat, feeling that this General Zhao is not much stronger than himself and his elder brother.Speaking of this, Zhao Yong looked at Luo Dao on the contrary:
"No, you can plan to defeat Alatan Khan, but our grassland operation needs more planning from you."

Although Luo Xin was confused by Zhao Yong at this time, he still insisted and said: "General Zhao doesn't need to worry too much, as long as we master the two things of boldness and prudence, we can move across the grassland."

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

"We are cautious first and then bold. Before each action, we send out scouts to investigate carefully. When we encounter small camps, we will fight, and we will bypass large camps. This is prudence. Once the target is determined, we attack decisively. That's boldness."

"How bold and cautious!" Zhao Yong couldn't help applauding.

"General Zhao has experienced hundreds of battles. Although he has never commanded an army to fight alone, but he understands everything and can definitely beat the shit out of the Mongolian cavalry."

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

Luo Xin couldn't help but wiped the sweat in his heart again, this Zhao Yong is not a humble master!Just now he looked uncertain, but now he is full of confidence.

Seeing Luo Xin's appearance, Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing: "No, my self-confidence does not come from myself, but from the two thousand cavalry behind me. If you replace them with other frontier troops, I won't be I dare not lead them into the grassland. These soldiers are the elite brought out by General Ma himself. To deal with hundreds of Mongols, there is no need to command at all, just a strong attack, and they can kill the crap of the opponent."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Luo Xin couldn't help but feel certain.Who are these people?They are all experienced cavalry who followed Ma Fang.Ma Fang is a big lunatic, these people are little lunatics!

"In this way, this trip to the grassland will definitely return with a big victory!"

Unexpectedly, 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 one by one, we won't have any problems. What we worry about is that when we annihilate more tribes, it will definitely arouse Alatan Khan's idea. If If we evacuate at that time, there will be no problem, but it will not give Alatan Khan the vigilance effect, let alone make Alatan Khan afraid, but will make him even more crazy, harassing the Daming Border Pass crazily. Because they did not Scared him, didn't even hurt him. He would think that they only dared to harass their small tribes on a small scale, and they would not pose a threat to him. Therefore, for the sake of honor and reputation, he would definitely harass the Ming border even more crazily. In this way, not only did our action fail to achieve the desired results, but it had the opposite effect, making the border more corrupt and falling into the flames of war.

However, if we don't evacuate, we are likely to be surrounded by Alatan Khan's army, and Mongolia will definitely track us everywhere and want to kill us in the grassland.If we don't kill us, Alatan Khan's reputation will be greatly reduced in the grassland, and maybe even his position as a great Khan will be unstable.Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of our operation, we cannot evacuate. At worst, we have to deal with Alatan Khan in the grassland. How to avoid the tracking and encirclement of the Mongolian army is a top priority. .

No, I never commanded a battle independently, but you planned and commanded a battle alone, and won a big victory.If you don't mind, I'd like to give you command of this army. "

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

"That's right!" Zhao Yong stared straight at Luo Dao: "It's up to you to command, as long as you promise me not to charge forward, just command from behind."

A wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face, "You didn't say that just to keep me behind, did you?"
