"Lord Sun, there is Luzhou City in front." Qi Yuangong came to Sun Chuanting's side and said.

The expression on Qi Yuangong's face was still very serious, although this time Lord Xiaosun promised not to use his own Tiger Roar Battalion, but once the new army did not fight well, he would still have to go on his own after that, so Qi Yuangong was a little worried in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Qi Yuangong did not trust these soldiers of Sun Chuanting. These new troops are from low backgrounds, and there are all kinds of people in a mess, including the refugees that Xiaosun picked up on the road, and the time to form the army is also very short, can they fight?

Sun Chuanting didn't care, he glanced at Qi Yuangong, and said calmly: "Okay, then let's arrange it." ”

As he spoke, Sun Chuanting raised his hand and beckoned in mid-air, and four people walked up behind him.

These four people are all very distinctive, one of them is very tall, and his body is also very strong, even half a head taller than Qi Yuangong.

You must know that as far as Qi Yuangong is concerned, he is very high in the Ming Dynasty, much higher than ordinary people. As a result, this person was even taller and more powerful than Qi Yuangong, and Qi Yuangong silently straightened his chest.

This tall man's name is Zhang Hu, and he was also received by Sun Chuanting on the road. Zhang Hu is a butcher, according to his own words, this rebellion, he protected the whole family with a knife to kill, and hid in the mountains with his family along the way, and has been hiding for a long time.

It was freezing on this day, and there was really no food in the mountains, and the wild fruits that could be eaten had already been picked by the other fleeing people. Because of the large number of people wandering in the mountains, even birds and animals rarely show up.

Zhang Hu squatted for several days to catch two wild pheasants, and when he heard that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court were coming, he wanted to bring the beast skins he had beaten before to exchange for some food, but he met Sun Chuanting halfway.

I don't know why Zhang Hu was fooled by Sun Chuanting, so he brought the whole family to the new army. Recently, Zhang Hu has become a general under Sun Chuanting.

To put it bluntly, he follows Sun Chuanting, no matter where Sun Chuanting goes, this Zhang Hu follows him, just like a bodyguard thug.

Qi Yuangong always felt that Zhang Hu's head was a little unusable, simple, but the force value was definitely nothing to say.

Next to Zhang Hu was a thin man, very short, very dark, with a face that was obviously different from that of the Ming people, and there was a ruthlessness in his dark eyes.

This person is more typical, he was a small person in the rebel army, it is said that he was a small leader before, and he had a small village, but this time he was transferred by Luxury Chongming, but he lost to the new army eggs temporarily formed by Sun Chuanting.

In Qi Yuangong's opinion, this kind of person with uncertain factors should be killed, but Sun Chuanting left him.

The thin man's name is Samba, and I don't know what ethnic name it is, but I know that his name is Samba anyway.

The thin man Samba is another cadre under Sun Chuanting, and he is also very respected by Sun Chuanting, leading those foreigners under Sun Chuanting.

All the foreigners who surrendered from the rebel side were handed over to this Samba commander.

This guy wields a scimitar, the short kind, and this guy is very nimble and fast. Qi Yuangong also felt that he was a good hand at playing with scimitars.

Of course, there isn't much room for this kind of good hand to play on top of the battle formation, but there are certain times when it is easier to use.

In addition to these two people, the remaining two people, one is Samba's brother, named Mulberry. This guy is different from his brother, as if their mother gave him all the food when he was a child, he looks like a fat man with a big belly.

In Qi Yuangong's opinion, if this mulberry is fighting on a horse, the horse will not move. I don't know what to think, why did Lord Xiaosun take him in and want him to come over to fight?

This guy has a big chubby round face, smiling all day long, and he doesn't know what he's thinking, anyway, at a glance, he knows that he is not a character to provoke, and he doesn't know what his talent is.

Qi Yuangong thought of a word to describe this mulberry, a typical smiling tiger.

The last person is more interesting, this person is a woman.

It is not strange that there are women among the rebels, and there are even women in the toasts of various places, and the customs are different.

The woman was very dark and not tall. Let's not talk about whether she can fight or not, it's actually quite scary to watch. She has a scar on her face that runs from left to right across her face, giving the impression that the bridge of her nose has been severed.

Her name is Liao Sanniang, and it is said that her ancestors are also from the Ming Dynasty, and she is also from an official family.

This Liao Sanniang is not a rebel, she used to be the leader of a stockade. Of course, if it sounds good, it's a bandit's den.

They call themselves horse gangs, and they make a living by robbing houses and collecting tolls. Many businessmen on this road have heard of her, "Ride the door through Kanliao Sanniang." Hades is not good at buying life. This sentence is what describes Liao Sanniang in the Tao.

"Riding the door to cross the hurdle", which means that you are walking on a road, but if there is a little bump, it is Liao Sanniang's business. When you meet Sanniang, it's like buying your life from Hades, don't prevaricate, be honest.

Qi Yuangong didn't know how Lord Sun subdued this Liao Sanniang, at that time, Lord Sun took a few people to talk to this Liao Sanniang, and after talking about this Liao Sanniang, he took her people down the mountain, and then this Liao Sanniang became Lord Sun's henchman.

Now the four people behind Lord Xiao Sun are, in Qi Yuangong's opinion, the four King Kongs under Lord Sun, standing there with their own characteristics, and they are all eccentric and weird.

Sun Chuanting didn't look at the four people behind him, and said directly: "Samba, take your people to touch around Luzhou City." Be careful, and if you encounter someone, you will return immediately. If someone is in ambush, let's destroy them first. ”

"Yes, sir." Samba nodded, respectfully agreed, turned around and took his people to find out the situation around Luzhou City.

This Samba's Da Ming words are not good, and it always gives people a feeling of gritting their teeth, and Qi Yuangong always feels that his heart should be panicked.

After Samba left, Sun Chuanting continued to instruct: "Sang, you take someone to pick up your brother." It's definitely not safe around here, so if you don't get anything done, throw people inside. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we won't go wrong." Mulberry agreed with a smile and took someone to pick up his eldest brother.

Glancing back at Liao Sanniang, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Take your people to prepare, scatter them around, and just squat if you find a good place." Isn't squatting your forte? ”

Liao Sanniang nodded, didn't speak, and quietly took her own people away.

Regarding what Sun Chuanting said, Liao Sanniang didn't think there was anything. We are bandits, we are horse gangs, robbery is naturally a strong point, so squatting is a very necessary activity.

The so-called squatting point is actually to find a place to lie on your stomach, so that no one can find it, and stare at those people secretly. You can't let people notice that there are bandits in front of you, can you?

At the same time, you must also be able to find out how many things and how many people there are in the businessmen.

Qi Yuangong knew what Liao Sanniang was doing, to put it bluntly, it was a dark whistle.

He looked at Lord Xiaosun a little helplessly.

Lord Sun, who are these people under you?

None of them looked like soldiers.

Anyway, Qi Yuangong can't look down on it, but Lord Xiaosun asked these people to fight, and without the people of the Tiger Roar Battalion going to the battlefield, Qi Yuangong would not be able to say anything.

Glancing at Zhang Hu, Sun Chuanting ordered: "Pass the order, rest for an hour, and then prepare to attack the city." ”

"My lord, aren't we going to attack it all at once?" Qi Yuangong looked at Sun Chuanting and said with some hesitation.

Even if Qi Yuangong is not very good at the art of war, he has heard a lot of enthusiasm.

As the saying goes, "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." ”

These people are all in a hurry to march to Luzhou City, and at this time, they will not attack the city and rest directly, which will make everyone discouraged.

"Maybe they'll come out and beat us up when they see us resting." Sun Chuanting glanced at Qi Yuangong and said in a relaxed tone.

After hearing this, Qi Yuangong didn't know what to say.

Are those rebels in Luzhou City stupid?

Look at these people we brought, this is almost 50,000 horses, how many people in their city dare to kill them?

Sun Chuanting glanced at Qi Yuangong, and said with a serious face: "Your family has a family history, Qi Shaobao's art of war was rampant in the world back then, and there was no opponent in the north and south; Your father is also a great general. It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said this to you. ”

After hearing this, Qi Yuangong was about to cry, and hurriedly took a step forward to salute Sun Chuanting, and said very respectfully on the surface: "Lord Sun, the son said, 'There must be my teacher in the threesome', let alone a great talent like Lord Sun." It is my honor to be taught by Lord Sun, and I ask Lord Sun to give me his advice. ”

In fact, Qi Yuangong didn't think so in his heart. He is in a hurry in his heart, this little grandson hurry up and tell me, what do you think?

What the hell do you want to do, if you don't say anything, I'm going to suffocate to death.

Of course, Sun Chuanting didn't know what Qi Yuangong was thinking in his heart, but he was very satisfied with Qi Yuangong's attitude.

So Sun Chuanting began to say earnestly: "The way of using soldiers, the right time, place and people. A lot of people say that, but I have a different opinion. ”

Qi Yuangong was very curious about the opinion in the mouth of the little grandson, but he knew that he couldn't urge, and the more he urged this grandson, the slower he would speak.

"The so-called time and place are favorable, many times they are dead, but many times they are alive. We're in Sichuan now, and we don't have many people on our hands. Although your men and horses are very elite, they are only 5,000, and it is okay to gather together; If you spread it out, you don't have much combat power. ”

Although Qi Yuangong nodded, he was thinking about how to bombard Luzhou City in his heart.

"If I have 50,000 people like you behind me, I don't have to do anything, just push all the way through. But I didn't. ”

"As a general, you can't sit and wait, you have to learn and apply. Whether it's the time, the location, or the people, to put it bluntly, you have to use it in your heart. Since Your Majesty has sent us to the southwest to quell the rebellion, we need to make use of everything we can to use. ”

"If it's just a matter of sending 100,000 troops from Huguang, then anyone can do this. For generals, they should consider doing things that others can't do, and the same is true for officials. ”

"Do more with the least amount of money so that you can stand out more than others. If what you do, others can do it, so why use you? ”

"Look at when we first came, there was no one behind us and no knife in our hands, what can we do in a place like Luzhou?"

"Look at the present, we have 50,000 horses in our hands, although they have such and such shortcomings, but they have people after all. Their shortcomings can be compensated for with tactics, and we can devise better strategies to exploit our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. ”

"If you can't play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, then you are not a suitable general. Don't complain, don't always think about asking for things from the court, learn to make the best results with what you have at hand. ”
