Even when the Shi Sect Master was marching with great fanfare, he didn't know that his every move was being watched all the time. You must know that these rebels themselves have not received any military training, and they have no formation on the march, not to mention their movements, and they are slow to move. They didn't even send out a sentry.

However, the lack of horses in the rebels was indeed a problem for them. The few horses that were left on the leader's horse. And even if they had horses, they wouldn't necessarily be able to ride them. Most of the people in their team were the most ordinary and low-level people, and they had no chance to touch horses on weekdays, let alone ride them. Even the leaders rode their horses with someone in front of them to make sure they didn't fall off their horses, not to mention the people below.

Living between Rizhao and Zhucheng, at the foot of Ma'er Mountain, a military camp has been set up. In the middle of the big account, Liu Pei and his subordinates were discussing the military situation. Liu Pei has already taken out all his family resources in order to gather the team of the Stone Sect Master this time! Even the Sailor and the Bloody Hand Gang were drawn in.

With a "report", a man entered the big tent with a bamboo tube. Liu Jiang took the bamboo tube, took out the strip of cloth inside, and recited it in public. Then there was an uproar in the tent. Qi Qitao said dissatisfiedly: "Why is this general of Zhengdong walking so slowly? ”

Wu Yizhou also said: "That's it! We've been waiting for him here for two days, and he's still so far away from us! Others also expressed their dissatisfaction with the general of Zhengdong.

Liu Pei was very satisfied with everyone's emotions. Seeing their high-spirited appearance one by one, Liu Pei became more confident in this battle! When everyone was quiet, Liu Pei said: "Liu Jiang arranged meticulous work this time, and he also had merit in investigating along the road!" When the battle is won, it is considered the first achievement! ”

Liu Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's all arranged by the head of the family." ”

Then Liu Pei said: "But this time we also exposed a problem. That is, we have no cavalry. ”

The absence of cavalry was indeed a big problem for Liu Pei. Liu Pei has now gathered all the horses and people who can ride horses, but it is only enough to deliver news. There was not a single extra horse left.

Qi Qitao also muttered: "That's right, no cavalry is a big problem!" But then again, with cavalry, we won't use it! Who can ride a horse here? Who knows how to ride a knight? ”

After listening to Qi Qitao's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, it seemed that no one knew how to ride a battle. Liu Pei coughed and said, "It's okay. After this battle, we will go to buy horses and train cavalry. It doesn't matter, let's take our time! We didn't fight in the beginning, but now it's not a good fight. ”

After Liu Pei said this, the atmosphere of joy returned to the tent. Liu Jiang asked at this time: "Family master, what do you think of this Xu Hongru uprising?" Will he succeed? ”

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard it, wanting to hear what Liu Pei had to say. Liu Pei recalled the information in his mind and said: "I think I'm afraid it won't be successful." In terms of his tactical arrangement, it would be a stroke of luck for him to be able to hold out for a year! ”

Several people were surprised when they heard Liu Pei's assertion. Qi Qitao frowned and said, "Won't it?" According to the news from our detailed work, Xu Hongru now has hundreds of thousands of people in his hands, how can he fail so quickly! ”

Liu Pei looked up at a few people and found that the meaning on their faces was all in support of Qi Qitao's statement. So Liu Pei asked, "Do you all have this idea?" ”

Wu Yizhou and Liu Jiang nodded one after another. Liu Pei felt very dissatisfied, he pointed to the map and said, "You only consider the number of people. It's not right that other issues are not taken into account! You must know that wars are not fought by numbers! If there are more people and whoever wins, everyone will not fight in the future! Just stand in line. ”

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this, but they still stared at Liu Pei, wanting to see what specific statement he would give. And it seems to be quite unconvincing.

So Liu Pei said: "The first mistake after Xu Hongru's uprising was that he began to hold on to the city after occupying Zou County. His idea is very much, he wants to use Zou County as a base, and then attack the Quartet. But he ignored one problem, that is, the strength of the imperial court is still there! If he sticks to Zou County, he will be tantamount to nailing himself there, and he can only passively accept the blows of the imperial army. With a corner of the enemy of the whole country, no matter how you fight, you will not win! ”

Liu Jiang said a little unconvinced: "Even if this is the case, shouldn't it be easy for Xu Hongru to resist the attack of the imperial army with the city in hand?" How can it not even survive a year? ”

Liu Pei pointed to a piece of information on the table with his hand and said, "You have all read this information." The above is very clear about Xu Hongru's army. His army is mainly composed of the most ordinary and low-level people. Before the uprising, they had not undergone any military training, and they wanted to fight against the imperial court with their enthusiasm, which was very unrealistic. If you are a warrior with a knife and a gun, then what's the point of you training for so long? ”

Everyone looked at each other happily and felt that they seemed to be remarkable. They went through a long period of training and several actual battles. It has long been distinguished from ordinary people, and it is a warrior who has really seen blood. They are completely different from the peasants who have just picked up their knives and guns and put down their hoes! So they're going to have a little bit of pride.

Liu Pei looked at their expressions and smiled secretly, but he didn't intend to puncture their superiority. He continued: "I just talked about Xu Hongru's two questions, and now let's talk about his third question. The problem is that Xu Hongru's army lacks the ability to attack fortifications. According to our intelligence, the county towns they had previously captured were either fled, and the dragons in the city were easily broken without a leader; Either they were negligent in their precautions, so they easily attacked the city. Come to think of it, their attacks have basically stopped under the fortified city recently. ”

Several people began to recall the information of the previous period in their hearts. At that time, this information seemed to be of little effect, but after the current comparison, it will be found that things are indeed as Liu Pei said, except for the first few cities captured, the rebels did not capture any cities. At present, Liu Pei's target is the Shi Sect Master's army to conquer the east, and they are also bleeding under Rizhao City. So they already agree with Liu Pei's opinion.

But Qi Qitao was unconvinced and said: "Then it can't be even a year!" After all, hundreds of thousands of people! These hundreds of thousands of people just don't resist, let the court tie them up one by one, I'm afraid they will be tied up for a few days! ”
