As the saying goes, it will be the courage of the soldiers, and the handsome is the soul of the army. An army can have timid soldiers who are afraid of death, and there can be mediocre and incompetent generals, but it must not have brainless commanders, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

The "rebel army" led by Lu Dabao is handsome and very smart, although he has no culture, but there are a lot of local methods, and after more than ten years of running-in, the prestige is extremely difficult to shake. The general is even more mentions, Guo Daxia is rigorous and methodical in governing the army, and has superb assassination skills, martial arts, and unstoppable courage in the charge. The soldiers are also okay, they may have been wild children in their early years, but now they are definitely sincere guards, and they will not be afraid to die on the battlefield.

You must know that the commander is the soul of the army, if it is not for the death of the soldiers and generals, the enemy must not be allowed to hurt the commander in the slightest, even if he fights everything, he must protect the commander, unless the enemy army directly attacks the Chinese army, and the commander will be killed to the death, and if that is the case, there is only the reason for a big defeat, and there will be no victory.

Out of strong curiosity and very curious, Li Liang asked and asked around this topic, no matter what kind of shyness, shame, loss of face, etc., as long as the old boy didn't say it, he would mention it in less than three sentences, which really made Lu Dabao have the idea of rushing into the cracks of the ground, or giving Li Liang a few big slaps.

"Boss, what's going on? I've been drinking this wine for a long time, why don't you say it?" Li Liang curled up and squatted on the chair, stretched his neck with the wine bowl, and said very seriously.

"Ah, that, old man, I miss it very much after not seeing him for many days, come on, let's have another drink, drink another drink......" Lu Dabao licked his lips, picked up the wine cup on the table, stretched out his arm and touched Li Liang's wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hmm, the owner, is your alcohol volume rising?" Li Liang was even more surprised, he has been an old friend for more than ten years, others may not know his alcohol consumption, but Lu Dabao will definitely not know, let Li Liang "drink and lie down" I don't know how many times, how can he not know his depth? However, the old boy actually dares to provoke, dare to clink glasses with him, reliable, there is a big problem inside!

"Ahh......h

"Drink to heal your wounds, what kind of wounds to heal?, could it be you, is there something wrong with you underneath?" Li Liang tilted his head and thought for a while.

"What's next?"

"It's your ****, what's the matter, don't lift it? I won't lift it at this age, but it's a little young!"

"No, no, absolutely not, it's good, it's good!"

"Then what kind of wounds do you drink to heal?"

"Uh, that, internal, internal injury, yes, internal injury!"

"Internal injuries? What are you doing with your daughter-in-law, and you have fucking internal injuries?"

"Not with my daughter-in-law, not with my daughter-in-law!"

"Damn, what do you mean? The owner still has a mistress, right?"

"Little three, what's little three?"

"Well, it's a concubine, a mistress, a little wife who secretly fucks the ground without the permission of the eldest wife, you can also call it a vixen and so on. ”

"No, absolutely not!"

"No, why is there no internal injury? You, you won't change your taste, what the hell is Longyangzhi?"

"No, no, old man, please, don't guess, if you let my daughter-in-law listen, it won't stop for several years!"

"The owner, it's not that I'm willing to guess, it's that you're doing these things very mysterious......!

"Old man, I said, I said I didn't hit it, hey......"

"Hey, yes, confess leniently, resist strictly, say it early and say it early, and say it late to carry the black pot, if it weren't for your sloppy belly, would I fucking guess? But then again, blind guessing also has the advantage of blind guessing, although it is a foolish thinking, there are birds and no birds, but it is not accurate to hit down something critical, such as the owner of your mistress Xiaosan......"

"Lao Gan, Lao Ganna, I said, I said it all, I didn't say anything at all!"

"Really?"

"Really, absolutely really!"

"Okay, then let's talk about raising a junior first. ”

“……”

Two months ago, the spy personnel in charge of intelligence investigation in Shanzhai sent back a message that a batch of important military supplies would be transferred to "Yuting Town," including weapons, battle armor, military horses, and a large amount of food and medicine, and the total amount would be enough to equip 10,000 troops for a year. The army responsible for escorting this batch of materials has about 2,000 soldiers and horses, which is the elite of the "Southern Zhou Kingdom".

Lu Dabao was both excited and entangled when he received the news. I was excited because the fat sheep was so fat. Weapons, armor, and military horses, these are the things they lack the most now, especially military horses, even if there are only a thousand horses, if they are snatched back, it is enough to raise the combat power of the cottage to a big level.

The entanglement is because the soldiers are really a little small, only a thousand at full play, including five hundred newly recruited "migrants", although after a few months of practice, but the real knife and gun to kill the enemy, it is difficult to say, and the opponent is not only more than twice the number of the side, but also the elite of the long-term killing field, in case the robbery fails, all the family will be lost.

As a result, Lu Dabao presided over 17 military meetings in a row, repeatedly discussed the feasibility of robbery with Guo Xiaotian and other military generals, and after deciding on the matter, he offered good strategies, made plans, subdivided labor, clarified discipline, deduced and demonstrated, and pondered in detail, and finally came up with a very awesome strategy of "disturbing the enemy with three mores and robbing with five more, and dispersing and retreating with real and virtual".

That is, at the time of the third watch, Guo Xiaotian led 500 recruits to repeatedly harass the enemy camp, pretending to want to rob it, but he couldn't rob it, but he didn't give up on it, so as to underestimate the enemy's heart. At the fifth watch, Guo Xiaotian and Lu Dabao attacked from the north and south at the same time, taking advantage of the enemy's fatigue and fatigue, they attacked the Chinese army camp in one fell swoop, beheaded the enemy commander, and broke the chaotic army.

After the success of this battle, Guo Xiaotian led 500 recruits to wear shabby clothes to escort the materials on the main road and quickly returned to the cottage, while Lu Dabao and the eldest baby, the second baby, and the third girl were divided into pieces, pretending to flee with the supplies, so that the enemy army could not distinguish the priority and whether it was to chase and kill the "sloppy soldiers" who were running wildly on the main road, or whether to chase and kill the "elite soldiers" who fled in an organized manner.

Otherwise, Lu Dabao is very talented in this area, and as soon as this plan came out, Guo Xiaotian admired it very much, so he agreed without saying a word. However, in order to prove his bravery, Lu Dabao arbitrarily decided that five hundred veterans would gather again near the "White Python Mountain" pass and fight to the death with the pursuers, so that they would know that they knew the power of the "Lu Family's Army" and saved them from coming to find trouble in the future.

Of course, this battle to the death is to pick soft persimmons, not all the pursuers fight, but choose to be alone, tired, and look at the bad looks, give them a few blows, and then appropriately let go of some greedy and afraid of death, let them go back and blow for us, so that the enemy will take care of it, or mobilize the army, or turn the big thing into a small one, and from the current situation, the possibility of the latter is extremely high.

Summing up the lessons of the last failure, sacrificing to the sky before the expedition, strictly enforcing military discipline before the war, paying attention to climate change during the war, and quickly cleaning the battlefield after the war, the first two and a half stages of the entire robbery went very smoothly, that is, the first stage of "breaking the enemy army and grabbing supplies", the second stage of "separate withdrawal, playing cover" and the third stage of "choosing soft eggs", but then the later "beating to the death" will come out of the story.

In order to give full play to the vanguard role of taking the lead and setting an example, after Lu Dabao chose the target to be bullied, he heroically gave up commanding the operation, but charged forward with a spear. But who would have thought that the fact that he was fighting was too bad, and he was pulled off his horse at the first charge, and then he was trampled by men, horses, and horses, and then by horses, until the enemy was completely destroyed, and the soldiers pulled him out of the mud pit.

In the whole battle, the "Lu Jiajun" seriously wounded 25 people, lightly wounded 61 people, no one was killed, except for He Laoliu, who was cut off by an enemy general, the second seriously wounded was this brave Lu Dashuai. However, that He Lao Liu killed twenty-five enemies in this battle, which was the first merit in this battle, and Lu Dabao, before the gun could stab anyone, was dragged off the horse and killed several duck eggs!

"Old man, why do you say I'm so shrugged? I've practiced horseback riding, holding a gun, and charging for a long time!

"That He Lao Liu, what is the origin?" Li Liang didn't listen carefully to Lu Dabao's tragic experience at all, he had already defined the old boy through the last robbery incident, strategizing "sweet oranges" and fighting "limes", saying that he was dragged down by riding a horse, but in fact, he couldn't tell what was going on!

"He Lao Liu, I remember that he seems to be from the old He family......" Lu Dabao was stunned for a moment, blinked and said.

"Nonsense! His name is He Lao Liu, is he not from the old He family, is he still from your old Lu family? I asked if the old boy was the old villager who was brought in more than 10 years ago, or was it a new recruit from you. I'm really fucking convinced of you, such an important person, why don't you know how to care about it?" Li Liang scolded angrily.

"I care about it! I personally sent 200 catties of rice, 20 catties of pork, and five horses of silk to their family!" Lu Dabao said with a stiff neck when he heard this.

"Damn, you're still not a fucking human? If someone has an arm cut off, you will give you two hundred catties of rice, twenty catties of pork, and five horses of silk, right?"

"Hey, old man, it's not me, yes, it's the village that really has no money!" Lu Dabao sighed and said very aggrievedly.

"No money? Didn't you just grab a ticket? Why did you run out of money so quickly?" Li Liang wondered, the bandits who robbed the road would have no money, maybe they couldn't grab it, how could it be possible to grab it? Could it be that the old boy didn't grab money, but stones?

"Hey, old man, it's hard to say!" Lu Dabao was even more aggrieved, and his eyes slowly flushed.

The autumn breeze is bleak and the sunset is dim. Li Liang walked on the mountain path, repeatedly recalling Lu Dabao's bitter words. Who said that someone will support it will definitely be popular, who said that someone will help it will be smooth, the world is unpredictable, God is unpredictable, there will always be this or that bad thing behind the good thing, even if there is strong foreign aid to support, it is not all wish.

More than ten years ago, Li Liang collected a large amount of gold and silver wealth for Lu Dabao, so that he had enough net worth to build a city, an army, and even a country. But it is precisely because of this windfall that Lu Dabao has the confidence to do everything he does, and those who follow him are also rising, high-yielding, well-treated, and full of benefits, and they are extremely satisfied from top to bottom.

A day of casual labor, you can earn twenty or thirty taels of silver, reclaim one acre of barren land, the village rewards fifty taels of silver, logging, mining, iron, construction and other jobs will bring unimaginably high income. Slowly, the high rewards were adapted to the villagers, the wind of profligacy rose, those who could work were unwilling to do it, and those who could not work were justified and waited to be old-fashioned.

In this case, the daily necessities that can be created by the village gradually decreased, and the prices began to soar, and the rice, noodles, oil, salt, etc., which could be bought for a few pennies, rose rapidly to a few taels, dozens of taels, or even hundreds of taels, and the economic system of the village collapsed, and the villagers could not buy anything for their hard work, so they could only starve with piles of shiny waste.

For more than 10 years, the policy of low tax points and high salaries has kept the whole cottage in a situation of debt management, the total public inventory has plummeted, and the income is not worth one percent of the expenditure, until more than two years ago, all the money in the cottage treasury was spent, and the extravagance reached a certain level.

If they choose the wrong direction at the first crossroads, it will be difficult to return to the right path! Lu Dabao and others have discussed for a long time, and it will definitely not work to raise taxes, because the regime that has just been established relies on tax exemption and exemption from servitude, and if taxes are raised at this time, it will undoubtedly be a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle and a self-cutting future. If taxes are not raised, where should we make money? What Lu Dabao thought of was foreign wealth, that is, to enrich the pockets of the stockade by robbing foreign wealth.

Normally, this line of thinking is correct, and when there is a problem with the internal circulation, it is also an option to use external forces to balance the internal circulation.

However, people who are accustomed to a comfortable life want them to pick up knives and guns to fight hard, and there is not enough temptation to think about it. If they are well fed and well-drunk, who will be so idle that they will go to war? That will kill them! Only when the temptation is great enough to gamble with their lives will some people take risks.

On this issue, the smart Lu Dabao really solved it very well. He did not tempt the gold and silver that was already worthless, but judged the situation and directly brought out the food, meat, cloth and other daily necessities that the villagers needed most as rewards. The number of kills is linked to the amount of rice obtained, and whoever is brave on the battlefield will get more food, cloth, etc.

Based on this policy, there is a legendary story of "He Laoliu's broken arm for rice". The reason is that He Lao Liu's family has too many people, six sons and four daughters, from the day he joined the cottage, He Lao Liu, who felt a happy life, began to create people on a large scale, giving birth to one every year, and now there is a litter, don't you work hard?

Stopping and facing the setting sun, Li Liang looked up at a wild persimmon tree next to the mountain path.

Although the "Scorpion Demon Continent" still belongs to the tropical and subtropical climate, in the slightly higher altitude of the mountainside, especially in the winding mountain range such as "White Python Mountain", the cold air on the top of the mountain is difficult to be blown away by the wind, and can only stay between the valleys, and the wild persimmon trees have room to survive.

However, under the influence of the microclimate, although a slightly abnormal environment has been created, the plants from the north are forcibly moved to the south for planting, which will only be like this wild persimmon, the sweetness is gone, and the bitterness is left in vain.

"It seems that I was wrong...... "After a long time, Li Liang sighed deeply and said leisurely.
