Let's say that Liu Tao went on an expedition and went all the way south, but he was going to Zhongshan County through Fan County, instead of going south directly, entering Qinghe County through Yi County. When I arrived at the township, I asked the local people if there were any thieves entrenched in the vicinity.

If there is, they will lead their troops to encircle and suppress, and if they do not, they will continue to march in the southwest direction.

"Brother, they are all twenty or thirty, at most a hundred bandits and bandits, or bandits composed of yellow turban thieves who are exiled here, the local county lieutenant can levy them, why do we have to levy them in person?" Zhang Fei didn't understand, so he stepped forward to ask.

"Cangshan, how many thieves have we defeated?" Liu Tao didn't answer directly, but asked Lu Yan.

"Just three shares, all of them are thieves who can't make a climate!" Lu Yan replied casually when he heard this.

"How's the seizure?" Liu Tao continued to ask.

"The seizure is average, more than 50 people have been killed, more than 20 thieves have been captured, and a number of weapons and armor have been handed over to Fanyang County for disposal" Lu Yan thought about it for a moment this time, but he also replied quickly.

"What happens to the food and supplies?" Liu Tao asked again.

"Nature is ours!" Lu Yan immediately replied, "It's enough for the whole army for half a month." ”

"That's right!" Liu Tao immediately looked at Zhang Fei, "When we go south this time, we must eat the enemy to a large extent, otherwise, the supply line will continue to lengthen, and even the Zhang family will have to go bankrupt." The key is that if there are outstanding strength among the thieves, they can also recruit baggage troops, or even soldiers, as a supplement to the headquarters! At the same time, the soldiers can also run in with each other after begging for thieves, and gradually adapt to the war! ”

In other words, the troops will become stronger and stronger, and at the same time, they will be able to collect enough supplies to ensure the maintenance of the army. There is another point that Liu Tao did not say, that is, if he wins a battle, he can gain some experience points, and the key is that every time the battle is over, relying on the effect of Su Sheng's Dafa, he can also recover 30 points of mana, which is what he needs.

After three wars, 70 mana points have been fully recovered, and even if you encounter another tough battle, you can deal with it calmly.

"I see!" Zhang Fei was immediately convinced, cleaning up the local thieves along the way, and he still had this intention. The others also nodded silently, only Jian Yong showed an inexplicable smile.

When he was resting that night, Jian Yong suddenly came over and found Liu Tao. The latter didn't expect Jian Yong to come over, and immediately welcomed him in. Since Jian Yong joined, although his personality has jumped out, he is conscientious in his work, even Zhang Fei can't find a problem, and he has won everyone's respect as the military master.

"Xianhe came to visit late at night, but what's the matter?" Liu Tao didn't know why Jian Yong came over late at night, but he still asked politely.

"What the lord said today, I'm afraid that what I said is not finished......" Jian Yong saluted Liu Tao, "Yongruo guessed correctly, the purpose of suppressing bandits all the way, I'm afraid there are two more points!" ”

"Oh, which two?" Liu Tao was also curious about what Jian Yong had seen.

"The first point is nothing more than to let the local Xiaoxiao understand the existence of our militia. We are all so powerful, so the regular army stationed in Zhuo County is naturally even more powerful, so that those Xiaoxiao understand what the consequences will be if they commit chaos. In this way, even if we leave Zhuojun, we don't have to worry about another big mess in our hometown. Jian Yong said slowly.

"Well, what about the second one?" Liu Tao actually didn't have this plan, but he felt that Jian Yong made a lot of sense.

"The second, naturally, is to make a name for yourself!" Jian Yong went through the first point of foreshadowing, and the second point came to the main topic, "The lord wants to let the people of all counties know about the militia and the existence of the lord, so as to prepare for the future worship!" ”

"............" Liu Tao was silent, this was the biggest secret in his heart, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Jian Yong. It is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and he does not plan to let go of any opportunity to earn fame.

"What do you think of my arrangement?" Liu Tao finally asked.

"Since the lord asked so much...... Jian Yongke did not have the concept of politeness or modesty, as soon as Liu Tao asked, he answered directly and frankly, "It seems that the subordinates are too much!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Tao said seriously, he was indeed a little unhappy at this moment, but he still planned to hear what he had to say.

"The lord plans to train his troops along the way, and at the same time obtain some supplies to supplement the army, and even recruit some thieves as soldiers...... There is nothing wrong with itself, even if it earns some fame because of this, it is a matter of course to deter Xiaoxiao. Jian Yong first recognized Liu Tao's approach, after all, this does have some truth.

The point is that after that, he paused and began to refute: "It is quite unwise to specifically look for weak thieves, but instead miss the real battlefield. We went all the way west into Zhongshan County, and then south to Julu County. It is reported that the Jizhou Yellow Turban was defeated and retreated under the attack of Lu Zhi in Beizhonglang, if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to grab any credit, this is one of them! ”

There are too many thieves along the way, especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there are many routs in various places, or after being defeated, there are also many routs who fled to the local place to become the king of the mountain. This kind of small credit should be given to the local county lieutenant, not to be solicited in person. At the same time, there are not many thieves who can obtain materials, and they are not worth fighting, this is Jian Yong's first opinion.

"At the same time, fighting against thieves of this level for a long time is afraid that the soldiers will have arrogant thoughts, thinking that the Yellow Turban Thieves are nothing more than that. When the time comes, when you really want to fight a tough battle, it will cause irreparable consequences due to underestimation, which is the second one! Jian Yong continued.

It's like playing a game, I'm used to the super simple mode, and I think this game is just like that, so after adjusting to the nightmare level, I was directly abused to doubt my life. War is a game with no archives, and it's really abused to that extent, but it's going to die!

"And the third?" Liu Tao sat there and waited for a minute, and then heard Jian Yong continue to speak, so he asked.

"The subordinate has finished speaking." Jian Yong spread out his hands, he came over this time, mainly to let Liu Tao understand that this plan was a bit excessive, and this was the whole purpose.

If you want to talk about the third reason, it is not nothing, he always feels that Liu Tao has something to hide from him, only Lu Yan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei know. Perhaps, it is for this reason that Liu Tao will choose some weak thieves to crusade, right?

It's just that since Liu Tao didn't say it, he could only pretend not to know and not take the initiative to ask.

"Ahem...... So what do you mean, we should go directly to Jizhou? Liu Tao coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and then looked at Jian Yong and asked.

"I'm just the main book, what should be said has been said, how to decide, that's the lord's business." Jian Yong got up directly, said goodbye and left, and left the camp directly without waiting for Liu Tao's reply.

"Uh......" Liu Tao didn't expect Jian Yong to have such a character, and he was speechless for a moment.

He didn't go to Jizhou immediately, just because it was only more than three months now, and it was only April when he got there, and Lu Zhi had not defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves and besieged it. The militia may encounter and resist the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves, but how can he say this?!
