Li Jiabao.

Qin Yue, who had been sleeping for a day, finally recovered his spirits, first washed away all the discomfort with cold well water with the help of his personal guards, and then talked and laughed with a few old farmers with his rice bowl, and when the sun set in the western mountains, he held a war meeting.

It's just that there is a little more determination on the smiling face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Li Shuai has let us recuperate during this time, this place is too close to Shouzhou City, if we rest here, maybe there will be some difficult bones for us to gnaw, so we have to leave quickly, far away."

"Where are you going?"

Qin Yue pointed to the map spread out on the table, and said: "If my analysis is correct, now that my Great Zhou pontoon bridge has been built, the follow-up army will definitely be in a steady stream, and the Holy Lord may really be in person."

At present, Li Gu has led the former enemy's large army to surround Shouzhou City, and I believe that it will not be long before Kip Stone Village and Zijin Village will be broken one by one.

So where will the southbound army attack?

Haozhou, Chuzhou, Xiongzhou, Chuzhou and other rich places in the southeast must be the first choice, that is to say, the main battlefield is in the southeast, and the troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty will also go all out to the land of Haochu.

In this way, the west must be empty, so we don't join in this excitement, go southwest, enter Dabie Mountain, rely on the mountain, and turn the world upside down in this area. ”

As soon as Jiayin heard that he had entered the mountain, he was a little unhappy and asked, "What's the trouble, how is it?" What about my horse team? ”

Qin Yue smiled slightly, grabbed a handful of fried beans in his hand, and threw them into his mouth with a crunchy sound.

"Of course, the horse team moves under the mountain, and the distance between the infantry and the infantry cannot be separated from the distance of a day, and the two echo each other, so that they can exert the greatest power. As for what's going on, it's very simple, six words. ”

Qin Yue threw all the beans in his mouth and ate them, poured another cup of hot tea, and clapped his hands and said:

"Eat and seize, make a fortune."

"When I left Beijing, Zhang Shuai showed me Wang Pu's Pingbian Ce manuscript, which has a very good sentence, 'Disturb it first from the small preparation, prepare the east to disturb the west, prepare the west to disturb the east, and he will run to save the disadvantages'.

If I went to tell Li Gu that we were responsible for dragging the Tang Army back on this western road, I think he would agree. ”

Jiayin asked, "What if he doesn't agree?" ”

Qin Yue snorted coldly and said: "Then I don't agree either, crossing the river to fight, he is like this to my Huya camp, but with an obvious stain on his back, if I seize the opportunity, I will say it to the Holy Lord." ”

Chen Scar nodded and said, "You can talk about this tomorrow." This time, the bloody battalion and the Shanyue battalion were seriously damaged, and this source of soldiers still needs to be replenished in time, and what should I do with so many injured brothers? ”

Qin Yue was silent for a long time, and said: "Those who are seriously injured and can't move can only stay in the camp for treatment by military doctors, and those who are slightly able to move will be transferred to the other side of the river, give more money, and ask the villagers to take care of them." ”

"As for the replenishment of soldiers, I chatted with those old peasants at dinner, and found that they were more miserable than the peasants in the Great Zhou, I have a small number of people in the Great Zhou, and the imperial court has encouraged cultivation in the past two years, and there have been a lot of various policies to reassure the people, and the taxes paid are also less.

On the side of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was little tax, and the fields were occupied by the landlords and old wealthy, and most of them were tenants. Although the people in the two places look the same poor on the surface, the Zhou people have land, as long as they are strong, they will produce, and the poor will have a head, and the people here are not as good as a year after year.

Therefore, what I mean is that soldiers are not selected in the army, they are directly recruited on the spot, and those who meet our conditions and voluntarily enlist in the army will receive three settling-in allowances for one person. ”

Jia Yin said: "This is a good idea, those box soldiers have become soldiers, and it is more reliable to recruit from tenants." But...... They are from the Southern Tang Dynasty, will they come to be Zhou soldiers? ”

Qin Yue smiled and said: "Whether it is the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty or the people of the Middle Zhou Dynasty, in the past few years, they are all from the Tang Dynasty, and now they are all fighting back and forth in my Huaxia civil strife, so these concepts of family and country should not be forced, and the one who can give the people a good life is a good court, and the people only recognize this principle."

If you don't believe me, try it tomorrow? ”

Xu was red-eyed by the money copied from the Li family, and as soon as the Huya Battalion announced the recruitment conditions, many young people inside and outside the fort suddenly rushed over to sign up.

"The only son is not accepted, the new family is not accepted, the more than 30 are not accepted, those who know martial arts are preferred, and those with specialties are preferred...... I said this military master, I understand it before, what does this specialty mean? ”

"This specialty is that you have a skill, such as being a carpenter, being able to hold a boat, and Du Yuhou even said that he can learn to bark a dog."

"Huh?!"

"I'm driving a good car, does it count?"

"Count."

"I can weave straw sandals, do I count?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he was laughed at and said, "Bull ruffian, who can't make straw sandals?" ”

"I can make three pairs a day, fast and good......"

Everyone was still coaxing, and Song Qun, who was in charge of recruitment, hurriedly said: "Count, weaving straw shoes is also counted." ”

"Then I want to sleep during the day and be very energetic at night, is it considered a specialty?"

"Count, night owls, we are the most welcome."

……

On the wall, Qin Yue and Jia Yin sat opposite each other, each with a handful of fried beans, chatting while eating.

Jia Yin pointed to the crowd around the lawn: "There are a lot of people who come to sign up, and I think I can recruit a hundred people in Lijiabao here." ”

"You can't recruit too many people in one place, at most fifty people, and the people here will have a hard time in the future, and we have to think about others."

"Well, but how do we grow stronger? Your business ......"

Qin Yue smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the soldiers are easy to recruit but difficult to raise, we still have to maintain a good attitude now, learn to fight, practice skills, and then make a lot of money."

As long as our soldiers become more and more sophisticated, as soon as the opportunity comes, everyone will be released to be the commander of the army, and we will be able to pull out a contingent of several thousand people at once, and we will be able to immediately form a combat effectiveness. ”

Jia Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "You originally said that you would find a way to get a piece of land, this southern expedition is not an opportunity?" ”

"It depends on the situation, some things must be done naturally, and there is no hurry. My master doesn't think he is unreliable, but there is a good saying, 'Let people see your ability, but not your ambition.'" ’”

……

Shouzhou City Head.

Liu Renzhen was making his rounds, followed by a large group of squires with sad faces.

Liu Renzhen said as he walked, pointing to the Zhou soldier camp outside the city and said: "The soldiers besieging the city are only 20,000, of which the real elite are only 5,000, and the rest are all box soldiers, and I Shouzhou has the Huai River in the north, the water in the west, and the vast moat on the southeast side, the city is high and strong, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"What's more, Hongling's envoy set off the night before yesterday, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, the imperial court will know the news, and when the 100,000 troops come, the Zhou soldiers can only flee in defeat."

A squire joked: "When the handsome man says this, he will be relieved, and he will have a good night's sleep when he goes home." ”

Liu Renzhen laughed and said, "With my Liu Renzhen, Shouzhou City is here." Rest assured. There are only two demands for me: one is that the prices of all kinds must not rise, and the other is that the servants of the government must go to the city to help. ”

"This ......"

Liu Renzhen stopped and said sincerely: "Ben Shuai is not a person who does not understand human feelings, I still understand the truth of no profit and no business, but you have to think about it, the city is here, the family is safe, and the wealth is not lost."

If the city is broken, under the nest, there are eggs? ”

"Therefore, the duty of defending the city is in our generation, and the responsibility of Ancheng is yours, in this difficult time, let our soldiers and civilians unite as one, please!"

After Liu Renzhen finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

The squires who were bluffed hurriedly took the lead in returning the salute and said, "Since the marshal said so, I will obey my orders." ”

Liu Renzhen laughed and said: "With your promise, I will keep Shouzhou safe, and I will ask the court for credit for you afterwards, everyone, please!" ”
