No matter what Xu Shu really thought, since he promised to stay, with Xu Shu's character, he would naturally try his best to help, Zhang Miao was of course very happy, and began to take the initiative to introduce the current situation in Sanshui Village, so that Xu Shu could understand the situation.

"In my Sanshui Village, there are a total of 563 people, of which there are 145 adult men over the age of 15, and there are more than 120 men who can fight.

More than half of these people have served in the military and know the skills of war. Among them, my father Zhang Yu and Zhang Jin served as soldiers in the Luoyang Northern Army, my father served as the commander of the Yuecai Battalion, and my uncle Zhang Jin served as the commander of the Shooting Battalion, and he was a marksman.

There are more than 30 men in the village who can shoot arrows, and there are 15 or 6 people who are proficient in archery and can shoot 7 out of 10. ”

"There are only more than 100 soldiers." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that the future was difficult.

"There are only more than 100 soldiers, but now in Huyang, since the thief Marshal Zhou Cang led the crowd to retreat into Tongbai Mountain, there are no large number of thieves, and the rest are dozens of people, hundreds of people in a share, all of them are some local thieves. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with. Zhang Miao said.

Xu Shu nodded, then looked at Zhang Miao and said solemnly: "Sanjiang, you have to be mentally prepared, it is impossible to fight without death, and the road you want to take means that your people will continue to suffer casualties." ”

Zhang Miao was silent for a while, and sighed: "I don't know this truth, but in troubled times, survival is not easy, even if we don't pick up knives and guns, we will be attacked by thieves constantly." And Huyang is sandwiched between Xiangyang and Nanyang, once Liu Biao and Cao Cao start a war, under the chaos of the army, it is even more impossible for the whole village to protect it. ”

Xu Shu nodded clearly: "Since this is the case, our brothers will plan carefully, how to use these more than 100 soldiers to do a good job!" ”

Zhang Miao arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Brother Yuan to teach me." ”

In terms of the breadth of knowledge, no one in this era can compare with him who travels through it, but in terms of strategy and fighting and governing the army, Zhang Miao is not good.

He was only a top student in the history department of the 985 University, and he had never had any contact with the army except for half a month of military training when he entered the university.

Want to train an elite soldier with that little bit of military training? It's better to save it!

Sun Tzu still remembers the Art of War, but that thing belongs to a high-level military book, and it doesn't help with military training or anything.

In the village, there are many people who have served as soldiers, but there are not many who know how to lead soldiers, and the highest position in the army is Zhang Yu, who used to be only a tun commander who managed fifty soldiers.

Therefore, Zhang Miao urgently needed Xu Shu's help to help him train an elite army.

Xu Shu thought carefully for a while and said, "The most important task at the moment is to plough the fields and plant wheat. After all, food is the root of everything.

The army cannot fight without training, and after the wheat is planted, it must go through at least two or three months of training before it can go into battle.

Sanshui Village is the foundation of our wait, and only when the foundation is kept, can we consider others. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the village, at least a wall and a ditch are indispensable.

In order to increase our strength, we can only continue to grow by suppressing thieves, killing and defeating thieves, and seizing food and materials from thieves. And to suppress the thief, it is necessary to find out where the thief's nest is, so it is necessary to investigate beforehand.

Farming, training, probing the enemy, and building the wall, this is our task for the next two months. ”

Xu Shu said while thinking about it, and said what he was going to do next, and the regulations were clear. Zhang Miao supplemented from time to time to check and fill in the gaps. Finally, the two spent an afternoon working out a feasible plan.

All that remains is to convince the patriarch's father, Zhang Yu, to support this plan.

"Sanjiang, you want to help the whole village onto the chariot, will your father agree?" Xu Shu shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I have a way to convince him." ”

"In this way, I will plan the plan more carefully, and persuade the patriarch to have Lao Sanjiang's virtuous brother." Xu Shu said.

......

At night, the flames of honey candles jumped in the room, and Zhang Miao and Zhang Yu father and son sat opposite each other on the earthen kang.

Looking at his son's familiar and unfamiliar face, looking at his son's eyes that have obviously become more radiant, Zhang Yu is very emotional.

The son has really changed a lot from the past, and he is no longer the muddy appearance he used to be.

Thank you for leaving the ancestors, thank you for opening up my son, my Sanshui Zhang family finally has hope!

Although he was excited in his heart, Zhang Yu's face was still as cold as ever, and he didn't show any joy to Zhang Miaohun.

"Shaft, you don't accompany your friend from Xiangyang, what are you doing here with me!" Zhang Yu said coldly.

Zhang Miao smiled and said, "After leaving my father for many days, I naturally have to accompany my father." ”

Zhang Yu's heart was warm, but his face was as cold as ever: "Lao Tzu is not old enough to be accompanied, what should you do." ”

Zhang Miao smiled: "There's nothing to do, I just want to talk to my father." ”

Zhang Yu snorted: "There is something to say and fart, just your crooked intestines can't hide from Lao Tzu." ”

Zhang Miao restrained her smile and said, "Father, although we have got back the food right now, have you thought about it, once the thieves know, they are likely to attack our Sanshui Village again." ”

Zhang Yu said: "The thief handsome Zhou Cang left Huyang, and all that remains in Huyang is a small group of bandits, and there are more than 100 men in our Sanshui Village, I'm afraid that they will do something!" ”

Zhang Miao said: "Of course we are not afraid of small bandits, but what if the bandits join forces? At present, many villages in Huyang have been ransacked by thieves, and many people have run out of rations, so there will inevitably be more people who choose to follow thieves in desperation, and the food of our Sanshui Village is bound to be coveted by them, so we have to guard against it. ”

Zhang Yu took a breath of cold air, he knew that the situation that Zhang Miao said was very likely to happen.

The thief handsome Zhou Cang robbed and ran away, leaving behind the devastated Huyang, some people were wrapped and followed Zhou Cang to Tongbai Mountain, but more people chose to flee when the thieves attacked, and they were robbed of food, it was difficult to survive the cold winter. Under hunger, these people can only choose to be bandits, and Sanshui Village, which has a small food population, is naturally an excellent target for bandits to rob.

Even the people in the surrounding villages who have been robbed of their food will choose to fight for their own food.

After all, when I watched the village being robbed and burned down, didn't many of my villagers also think about the path of thieves?

"We may be able to withstand one or two small bandit attacks, but we can't cope with the repeated attacks of bandits. And if many bandits unite, our Sanshui Village will not be lucky. Zhang Miao sighed.

"Ah Miao, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Yu was panicked by what Zhang Miao said, as the patriarch, he couldn't watch all this happen.
