Xu Kang hurriedly said humbly: "Assigning personnel is still the responsibility of my adoptive father. I can make suggestions. But when it comes to strategizing, I still have to rely on someone as ambitious as my adoptive father."

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at him thoughtfully, nodded and said: "In that case, let me arrange the defense."

After all, Cheng Yuanzhi had already experienced many battles, so he was very ambitious in allocating manpower.

Seeing that he had almost arranged everything, Xu Kang asked: "How is the cavalry camp doing now?"

"The cavalry battalion's losses are not heavy. It is currently resting and recuperating." Cheng Yuanzhi said: "Also, Xian Yufu has asked for a fight and hopes to go to the front line of the Great Wall to deploy defenses. I am considering whether to agree to him."

Xu Kang was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "That won't work. The cavalry battalion is still of great use to me. Where are they now?"

Cheng Yuanzhi was stunned and said: "They are in the cavalry camp in the west of Xiangping City, and are currently busy replenishing personnel and horses."

Xu Kang said anxiously: "I will go to the cavalry camp to take a look. This time I will be in charge of the cavalry camp."

"That's best. Anyway, you are already familiar with the cavalry battalion."

The cavalry battalion's camp is located on an open grassland to the west of Xiangping City. This place was originally a horse farm for the Liaodong official army, and was later requisitioned by the cavalry battalion. In order to facilitate training, the cavalry battalion directly set up their camp here.

Xu Kang is an old commander to the cavalry battalion, especially after he specially participated in the historical education of the cavalry battalion, every knight in the cavalry battalion knows him.

Xu Kang led dozens of guards to stand at the gate of the camp. Although the soldiers guarding the door had recognized him, they still did not allow him to enter the camp. This was a rule he had set when he was still in the camp.

Visit the camp." So he was very satisfied with these soldiers' dedication to their duties.

After a while, Xian Yufu lined up with hundreds of cavalry to welcome him.

Before Xian Yufu saluted, Xu Kang had already taken a step forward and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no need to be so polite between us. This time I have been ordered to command the cavalry battalion."

"That's great." Xian Yufu said happily: "With Deputy Commander Xu's leadership, our cavalry battalion can be as invincible as before."

"Stop flattering me. This time I came to your place to give you random instructions. I don't believe you are so happy."

"What did Commander Xu say? You were the one who set up this cavalry camp. I was just a soldier under your command at the beginning. It is natural to obey your command." Xian Yufu seemed very serious, because he already knew Xu Kang's situation.

As for his character, he was naturally not angry at his provocation.

Xu Kang also smiled and said: "You led the soldiers to conquer Goguryeo for more than a month, destroying countless cities and villages. There are more than 10,000 recorded head skills. I thought your tail was going to reach the sky.

I went there, but I didn’t expect to be so humble. It’s not easy.”

Xian Yufu said in shame: "Sir, please don't say that. This time our cavalry battalion has become an accomplice in covering up the nationwide mobilization of Goguryeo. I am really ashamed."

"What is there to be ashamed of? The purpose of the cavalry battalion is to kill the enemy. How can we be timid just because we are afraid of provoking the enemy?"

"My lord is teaching you a lesson. I just don't know what task your lord is going to give us this time?"

Xu Kang said: "This time I am not asking you to fight. I have proposed to Cheng Shuai that a large number of people should be relocated. You can disperse the cavalry battalions to these relocated areas to help the people move."

Xian Yufu was startled and said: "Sir, although our cavalry battalion failed to see through Goguryeo's trick in time, it is just because of my incompetence as the commander. I cannot just disband the cavalry battalion."

Xu Kang looked at him in surprise and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to disband the cavalry battalion? This was established by me. For him, I have offended many people in the past. Now the cavalry battalion is finally owned."

Combat strength, how can I explain him."

Xian Yufu also cares about chaos. These days, he has been deeply blaming himself for not being able to detect Goguryeo's attempt, which has caused the Fengtian Army to be in such a disadvantageous situation. That's why he understood the deviation from Xu Kang's words and reacted at this time.

He said with shame: "Yes, sir, I have lost my temper."

Xu Kang looked at him seriously and said, "I think you take victory and defeat too seriously. No one in this world is a victorious general. I was defeated by Huangfu Song time and time again in the Central Plains. I was defeated by him."

I'm chasing you around. Why do you take this matter so seriously?"

Xian Yufu smiled bitterly and said: "That's different. Huangfu Song is known as the best general in the world. It's really an honor for you to escape with your life under his hand."

"Stop talking about those useless things. No matter who loses, it is a defeat. What's more, it's not a defeat for you. So you don't have to take it to heart at all. The cavalry battalion still needs to be led by you. If you all

Without confidence, how can we lead our soldiers well?"

"What you are trying to teach me is that your subordinates are aware of their mistakes."

"Okay, let's get down to business. This time you cavalry have two tasks. One is to gather all the young people to Houcheng. I want to build a line of defense here. The other is to send ordinary people to the south as much as possible, preferably to

Go to Tadi City. Then you gather in Xiangping City, but don't garrison inside the city. Your mission is to harass the enemy outside the city, preferably cutting off the enemy's supply line. As for what to do then? You don't need me to teach you, do I?

"

"Yes." Xian Yufu said respectfully, "I understand."

"By the way, where is Yao Hu?" Xu Kang suddenly asked.

"He is training with the soldiers. I will send someone to call him right away."

After a while, Yao Hu walked in covered with sweat and saluted: "See you, sir."

Seeing that he was training so seriously, Xu Kang was very satisfied and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I'm here to ask for help this time." Then without waiting for Yao Hu to ask, he continued: "I want to form a team in Hou Cheng

We have a defensive line, but there are not enough soldiers. I hope you can return to Xuantu County to borrow troops from your father."

"Since we are resisting Goguryeo, our Xuantu County is indispensable. Don't worry, sir." Yao Hu said with a guarantee.

When Xu Kang heard this, he said happily: "Well, it won't be too late. If you can help me, you'll leave immediately. If we can invite some troops, we'll meet again in Houcheng."

"As ordered." Yao Hu clasped his fists and saluted, then strode away.

Watching Yao Hu leave, Xian Yufu hesitated for a while and then said: "Yao Hu is a hostage sent by Xuantu County? If you let him leave like this, Xuantu County will be so good at sending troops."

"You don't believe Yao Hu."

"Of course I believe Yao Hu. But he is just a guerrilla general, and the one who really holds the real power is his father."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, Xuantu County's military strength is not strong in the first place. The difference between coming and not coming is not big. The one who can save us is always ourselves."

"Then the general will let Yao Hu go?" Xian Yufu asked doubtfully.

"It's meaningless for Yao Hu to stay. Letting him go can also show goodwill to Xuantu County. Why not?"

Xian Yufu naturally knew that things couldn't be as simple as Xu Kang said, but since he didn't want to say it, he couldn't force himself to ask.

After arranging the cavalry mission, Xu Kang immediately rushed to Houcheng without stopping.

Time was running out, Xu Kang wanted to split himself in half and use it. Although Deng Mao had been given a military order to hold on for 20 days, wars are always changing rapidly. No one can say what will happen tomorrow? So
