Lu Zhi suddenly found that he didn't seem to know much about this apprentice.

At that time, there were more disciples who worshiped him, and the more 'conspicuous' ones were Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan. It's not that the two are studious, but the personalities of the two are too distinct to be forgotten.

As for Liu Deran, coming with Liu Bei gave people the impression that he was probably following Liu Bei, like an entourage.

It was only recently that he sent someone to contact him, and he learned that he had raised a militia in Zhuo County, and he had even pulled his eldest son in to serve as a 'military advisor'. In the key follow-up, Liu Yan was appointed as the Sima of the other department.

Until recently, according to his military orders, he went south, fought two battles around Xiaquyang, and defeated tens of thousands of thieves, and he only felt that it was unreal. Come to think of it, he doesn't seem to know much about this army.

Also, how much combat effectiveness can a militia have, in general?

"Can you tell me about the battles you fought after the militia was established?" Lu Zhi looked at the messenger, he needed to know more, more information!

"Yes......" The messenger is also a veteran, and he did not dare to slack off when he heard the words, and told all the wars that have taken place since the beginning of the army, fifteen and ten.

Slowly, he found that the more he spoke, the more wonderful Lu Zhi's expression became. originally looked old-fashioned and serious, but later he was a little shocked, which made him a little proud.

"In other words, you have defeated at least 20,000 thieves?" Lu Zhi was surprised, "Recruits? ”

"Almost all of the recruits surrendered directly, and those who can fight hard are all veterans and elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Thieves." The messenger replied.

"............" looked at the messenger so confidently, but Lu Zhi didn't know what to say. Dare the recruits to see your militia and surrender directly? Such a good thing, why haven't you encountered it yourself?

I don't want to think about it, they started from Hanoi, went all the way to Wei County to kill here, and faced tens of thousands of thieves, how to be cautious, and even give up some small battlefields in exchange for victory in the big battlefield.

All the way down, less than 10,000 of the 20,000 soldiers remained, otherwise how could they fight so hard now?

The only thing that made him feel at peace was that Liu Tao was still a civil official, and he hadn't seen him for a few years, and suddenly took up arms, turned into a super fierce general, and personally went into battle to kill the enemy or something.

However, if the battle damage can be controlled to this extent, it will basically come all the way, and it will be a small victory and a big victory. This highlights his strong ability to dominate and command.

"Why didn't you realize that kid has such a high talent in this area?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from the current situation, maybe as long as he is given a period of time, maybe a month, maybe two months, maybe Quyang can be beaten. As for his side, for two months, he doesn't know if he can completely wipe out Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liangbu.

Can't be, when the time comes, they will solve Quyang first, and then they will have to go south to support them, right? If it really comes to that point, it is estimated that many generals in the army will have some opinions.

"In the battle situation in Zhongshan County, I will arrange personnel to go to Lunu County to verify, if there is nothing wrong, I will naturally show credit to the imperial court for him." Lu Zhi nodded, he was worried that the place would swallow Liu Tao's credit, so he planned to take the initiative.

There's no way, his own son is also in it, and these credits also have a share of his son!

When it comes to his family, Lu Zhi can't help but be active. In the early years, he studied everywhere and was rarely able to go home, but over the years, he became famous, his official fortune began to rise, and his apologies to his family became heavier.

Besides, Lu Yan's credit is also the result of his efforts, and it has nothing to do with favoritism. Within a reasonable range, Lu Zhi intends to strive for more benefits for Liu Tao, especially Lu Yan.

The price he knows better, that is, the battle of Xiaquyang, it must be their militia, the last battlefield!

"Saying that, these descendants can really toss...... Lu Zhi calculated their merits, "If you count all the merits of Xiaquyang, you will be able to count the merits after the war, and you can't run away with filial piety, and if you release it, let alone the local county order, even if you serve as a border county guard." ”

In fact, what he hopes most is that Liu Tao and Lu Yan can come to Luoyang to be Lang officials, maybe the position is relatively low, but there is more room for rise in the future. The key is whether to be an official in the imperial court, whether to be an official in the imperial court for more than two generations, which is the basis for becoming a family.

Slowly, in fact, it is not necessarily a civil official. With his talent, after a period of time in the border army, maybe he will grow even more.

His initial consideration was to think from the perspective of him and Lu Yan. After all, on the civilian side, he can help take care of it, plus other colleagues, so the main thing is to take care of Lu Yan.

But from Liu Tao's point of view, he found that a military general might be more suitable for him.

This year, the main thing is the fund of the Ten Standing Servants, so the life of the military generals is not very easy, but the status of the military generals is not as miserable as after the Song Dynasty, and even if the military is united, even the civilian officials and the Ten Standing Servants cannot ignore it.

Let's just say that this time to fight the thief, Zhu Jun is actually a representative of the military; Lu Zhizhi is a representative of the civilian sector; Strictly speaking, Huangfu Song is the imperial party, and he is Liu Hong's use of the bus to recruit as a waiter, and he is also relatively close to the ten permanent servants.

"Perhaps, if he fights fast here, I can recommend him to go to Huangfu Yizhen's side......" Lu Zhi thought for a while.

According to the latest news, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are still confronting the Bocai Yellow Turban Department in Changshe, and at the same time, the Buji Yellow Turban Department is also rampant in Dongjun, and they all need manpower to pacify.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi immediately asked the messenger to wait for him, then found a pen and paper, and began to quickly write down two letters, handed them to the messenger to take back, and handed them to Liu Tao.

The latter saw that there was nothing to do, so he also took his leave and left, and because it was a fast horse, he returned to the Xia Quyang army in less than two days.

At this time, Liu Tao, after about five days of recuperation, has recovered a lot of mana.

Today, I just used the 'Wind Dragon's Insight' to sweep the area within a radius of ten kilometers in the mountains and forests, and then found the thief camp in the dense forest.

"Three thousand...... There aren't many people......" Liu Tao sighed, thinking that there were at least five or six thousand.

"The vegetation in the mountains and forests is dense, it is not easy to move, and it is useless to have a large number of people, but 3,000 people are a little too much." When Lu Yan heard this, he immediately reminded, "At the same time, the cavalry is inconvenient to move, so I can only send foot soldiers in. ”

"It's mainly archers and sword and shield soldiers, and then five hundred pikemen are almost ......," Liu Tao made a simple calculation when he heard this.

"It's useless to have more archers, a hundred is enough." Jian Yong added.

"Then bring a thousand soldiers, I think it's almost ...... I'm going to go in person, how? Liu Tao asked.

"With Liu Ge and Guan Yu, it's not a big problem." Lu Yan thought about it and replied, the key brother knows spells, and it is no problem to protect himself.

"Report!" While they were discussing, the messenger had already arrived with a letter, "Kitakaro will have a reply!" ”

"Oh, bring it and I'll take a look......" Liu Tao was a little curious, and his attention also shifted to this.
