When it was close to the evening of the day, after Zhao Yu saw the envoy sent by Yang Ding, he immediately sent someone to call Chen Mo and Wang Qing, and immediately took the two to the county office, and discussed with the county commander Liu Bi, the county governor Li Xu, and the county lieutenant Ma Gai.

When he learned that Ye County was ready to assist him with five thousand sets of armor in Kunyang, everyone present showed a shocked look, after all, five thousand sets of armor is really not a small number.

In this regard, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Ma Gai were all very excited, after all, they were currently urgently recruiting personnel to enrich the Black Tiger and the county army, and once they got this batch of armaments, they would be able to recruit more people.

By the way, the Black Tigers mentioned here should be called the 'Brigade Battalion' more precisely, because just this morning, Zhao Yu had ordered to change the official system and reward and punishment mechanism in the village, and officially named the part of the Black Tigers who assisted Kunyang County in resisting the rebels as the 'Brigade Battalion', and from then on as the main combat force of his Black Tiger Village.

Compared with the joy of Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Ma Gai, Liu Bi and Li Xu seemed a little suspicious, and the former frowned and said: "As far as I know, Ye County is also expanding the county army, and at this time, Yang Ding handed me five thousand armor in Kunyang, what is the ...... Mystery? ”

From what he said, it is not difficult to see that Yang Ding's 'reputation' in Kunyang is indeed not very good, and even Liu Bi, as the county commander, is wary of him.

Facing Liu Bi's question, Zhao Yu smiled and explained: "Gong Liu can rest assured, I can guarantee that Yang Ding will not play any tricks for the time being." He is willing to help me with 5,000 armor armor in Kunyang, and I can only say that he has foresight......"

In view of the misgivings towards Yang Ding, Zhao Yu did not praise Yang Ding too much, and after explaining Liu Bi's doubts, he turned the topic to another matter: "In addition to the five thousand armor, the envoy sent by Yang Ding also mentioned another matter, that is, Ye County was preparing to mobilize troops against the rebel army that attacked my Kunyang two days ago......"

"The one stationed on the south bank of the Sand River?" Margay interjected.

"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded towards Ma Gai and continued: "The people he sent hope that we will participate in it. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qing sneered and mocked: "I understand, then Yang Ding used five thousand armor as a lure to lure us to fight the rebel army desperately......"

Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be." Whether he left Sun Xiu's 3,000 Nanyang troops or 5,000 armor to help me, I think he hopes that my Kunyang can hold on longer, after all, as long as my Kunyang does not fall, the rebels must divide a part of their forces to contain us, or take an offensive, in any case, this is very beneficial to Ye County, and its benefits are far higher than the 5,000 armor itself. …… That's why I say he's a visionary. ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Suddenly, Chen Mo frowned and said, "Since you didn't tempt us to fight with the rebels, why did you want me to participate in the attack on that rebel?" At present, the county has no spare strength to take the initiative......"

"I know."

Zhao Yu nodded, and thought: "In my opinion, Yang Ding will not be ignorant of the current situation of my Kunyang, in this case, if he wants us to participate, or he thinks about the overall situation, he has paid five thousand armor, and he feels uncomfortable in his heart, so we must do something; Either he wants us to play the role of a feint attack, harass the rebel army, and make it difficult for them to live in peace, so that when the time is right, he will lead the Nanyang army to inflict heavy losses on the rebel army in one fell swoop. …… Otherwise, apart from feints and harassment, we will not be able to play any other role at present. ”

"I guess it's both." Wang Qing sneered, then turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, and asked, "You agreed?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I agreed." …… If it is just a feint and harassment, a small force can achieve it, which I can still do in Kunyang; Moreover, the rebel army is now retreating to the south bank of the Sand River, which is also very detrimental to us. …… I'm sure you and others also know that since that rebel army was defeated in my Kunyang a few days ago and retreated to the south bank of the Shahe River to set up camp, there have been many fewer refugees fleeing to my Kunyang. It's not that the refugees went elsewhere, it's that the refugees were intercepted by the Green Forest Thieves......"

Hearing Zhao Yu mention this, Ma Gai opened his mouth and said: "Speaking of the green forest thieves, according to the county guards I sent to investigate outside the city, although the rebel army has now retreated to the south bank of the Shahe River and is still relatively peaceful, the green forest thieves around them are not very peaceful. Recently, there has been no shortage of small groups of green forest thieves crossing the Shahe River...... These green forest thieves did not dare to offend the county seat, nor did they dare to offend Sun Xiu, who was stationed in Xiangcun, but they wandered around the county and wantonly arrested refugees...... Those guys, who killed the old and weak among the refugees, left behind only the young men and women, and the men were forced to submit to them, and the women were insulted...... Yesterday, a county official found the 'Pillar Mountain' on the west side, and there seemed to be the sound of fighting, and I guessed that it might be that there was a fight between the green forest thieves and Wu Zhi's people......"

From a bird's eye view, the mountain is located on the southeast side of the entire Yingshan mountains, the south side of the Black Tiger Mountain, and the west side of the Kunyang County seat is northern, and the shape resembles the belly of the giant eagle of the 'Ying Mountain'.

Because the mountain is higher than the nearby mountains, it is called Pillar Mountain by the locals.

At that time, Liu Heimu, one of the nine thieves of Yingshan Mountain, occupied the mountain as the king, and now, Wu Zhi, the former county governor of Suiping County, led a group of refugees who were not accepted by Kunyang to retreat into this mountain to avoid being brutalized by the rebels and green forest thieves who invaded the ground in Kunyang County.

But unfortunately, these refugees who slept in the mountains seem to have been finally found by those green forest thieves.

Zhao Yu's eyebrows under the mask frowned slightly, and asked, "Then Wu Zhi...... Did you send someone for help? ”

"Not yet." Ma Gai nodded slightly.

"Oh."

Zhao Yu replied and did not continue the topic.

It's not that he's cold-hearted, it's just that he doesn't have the energy to help those refugees for the time being, whether it's Kunyang County or Black Tiger Village.

Since he is unable to help, then why talk about it, when he repels the rebels in Kunyang County, all problems will be solved naturally.

After a slight pause, Zhao Yu Zhengse said: "The matter of harassment will be handed over to the brigade camp." At present, the county army still has to defend the city as the most important, if the county army can defend the city on its own, the black tigers will be able to attack. ”

"Yes." Ma Gai clenched his fists solemnly.

It is worth mentioning that when they heard the words 'Lubenying' from Zhao Yu's mouth, Liu Bi, Li Xu, and Ma Gai all showed strange expressions.

It turned out that in view of the fact that Zhao Yu did not mean to hide it, these three more or less also learned that the Black Tiger Village intended to change the 'official system' in the village, although the matter itself had nothing to do with them, but watching this group of Black Tiger thieves follow the official system of the official family, I always felt that something was strange.

Of course, although it feels strange, Liu Bi, Li Xu, and Ma Gai are very supportive of this matter, especially the county prince Li Xu, in his opinion, this shows more and more that Zhou Hu has the intention of 'favoring' the official family and the imperial court, and should not become a thief who is very harmful.

After bidding farewell to Liu Bi and the others, Zhao Yu took Chen Mo and Wang Qing back to the Black Tiger House.

Although Zhao Yu kept saying that he would give the task of harassing the rebels to the brigade battalion, in fact, the brigade battalion currently exists only in words, and it has not yet had time to replenish it.

When the three of them discussed, Chen Mo made a suggestion: "Why don't you transfer Chu Yan and his subordinates?" ”

Considering that the current subordinates of Chen Mo and Wang Qing have suffered huge losses in the defense of the city a few days ago and are exhausted, they are currently enjoying themselves in the cottage...... It is indeed a good idea to recuperate and transfer Chu Yan and his men, after all, Chu Yan also has nearly two hundred old soldiers under him.

But this proposal, Zhao Yu thinks it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

He said to Chen Mo and Wang Qing: "Yang Ding delivered me 5,000 armor in Kunyang in one go, and in the case that we did not make any requests, he took the initiative to promise to deliver it within five days, which is actually a very dangerous signal, which means that Yang Ding has come to the judgment that 'the rebels are about to go north', so he must give me some assistance before the rebels cut off the connection between Yexian and my Kunyang, lest my Kunyang fall soon, so that Yexian must face the pressure of the rebels alone." ”

“……”

Chen Mo and Wang Qing glanced at each other, and their expressions became quite solemn.

They hadn't thought of this layer before.

At this time, Zhao Yu continued: "...... Taking this into account, whether it is the county army or the black tigers, it is necessary to expand the army as soon as possible and form combat strength as soon as possible, and the most important thing is that the 'brigade camp' must be formed as soon as possible and become the main force of the cottage. …… If you want to make the brigade camp take shape, it is not enough to rely on Chu Yan's subordinates. In this regard, I have two ideas, first, concentrate the elite in the village and use it as the backbone; Secondly, supplemented by new soldiers, they trained their troops by harassing the rebels and sneaking up on the green forest thieves......"

As he spoke, he mentioned a strategy he had once proposed: wolf pack tactics.

The so-called wolf pack tactics are to imitate the attack mode of the wolf pack, give full play to the strengths of the black tigers, and send multiple small forces to harass and sneak attack the same target together, so that the opponent is difficult to take care of, suffer from the enemy on the back of the belly, and are tired of coping.

Faced with the threat of the rebel army, Zhao Yu formulated this tactic very early, and even prepared to use the green forest thieves to train his troops.

Unexpectedly, something happened during the period, and his black tigers took out a group of green forest thieves in Jiuhu Village, and he Kunyang was attacked by 10,000 rebels and six or seven thousand green forest thieves, which forced Chen Mo and Wang Qing to stop their activities outside and return to Kunyang to defend the city with the county army.

And now, there is no danger in the county seat for the time being, so Zhao Yu once again put forward the suggestion of wolf pack tactics, preparing to use this tactic to assist Ye County.

On the same day, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Niu Heng, Chen Mo, and Wang Qing back to the main village, and summoned all the 'pawns' in the village, including Chu Yan, Chu Ben and others, and officially ordered the formation of the first real army in the village - Luben.

As for the way of formation, Zhao Yu decided to let the brothers in the village make their own choices.

In view of the fact that the brigade camp is the first army in the real sense of the Black Tiger Village, and it is also the main combat force, the Black Tiger thieves in the village enthusiastically signed up.

The reason why these people are so enthusiastic is, in the final analysis, because Guo Da has promulgated a new 'official system in the village' yesterday, which makes all the black tiger thieves realize that in the future, his Black Tiger Village will no longer be a simple and almost non-existent hierarchical division of 'village people-small leaders-big leaders', but has a new official system that can be promoted according to merit like the army.

This means that even the people with the lowest status in the village today, that is, the 'main pawn', may be promoted to 'Benme' or even 'Da Benme' in the future.

This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the black tiger thieves.

For a time, among the four or five hundred existing villagers in the entire Black Tiger Village, nearly 400 people wanted to join the brigade camp.

In the end, Zhao Yu screened out some of the wounded, and removed some seriously injured wounded, and set the number at 200 people, and these 200 people were the backbone of the brigade camp.

These people will be combined with the 800 brave and fearless recruits recruited from Kunyang County to form a brigade camp to take on the heavy task of harassing the rebels and cracking down on the green forest thieves.

On the first day of the eighth month, 1,000 black tiger thieves from the brigade camp were divided into nearly 20 teams and left Kunyang County in batches.

At this moment, in the area of Shahe, and even in Kunyang County, there are still many small groups of green forest thieves who are wantonly capturing strong men and robbing refugees......

Kill them!

This was Zhao Yu's first order to the brigade camp.
