Lijiazhuang. Shangwu is listening to the report of the two dogs.

"Sir, we've worked really hard. They gave us five stones of food, which they spent a long time to raise. They said they were helpless too. After all, the government collected most of their food. Ergouzi reported.

"Hmm. I know. Shangwu nodded.

"Inform the others that we have a meeting. Let them be prepared, and all positions above the rank of squad leader will participate, except for the guard posts. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, sir." Ergou felt that he had completed his task very badly, but his commander did not punish him, which surprised him, but he was more worried, because everyone knew that they were running out of food. Maybe after eating this meal, there really is nothing else to eat.

Shang Wu originally wanted to tax several nearby villages, first exempting the government from taxes and then collecting a small amount, but now it seems that the situation is very unoptimistic. First of all, the government collects too much tax, and most of the grain has been collected, and there is really not much grain in the hands of these farmers, otherwise, Ergou went to three villages and actually collected five stone of grain, which can only be boiled porridge and drunk, so it is not enough. The situation is very bad for Shangwu, and it seems that if the resumption of production is to continue, it must rely on military victory, but if such a large number of people do not make arrangements, there will be a great chaos, so they must do more.

The staff arrived soon and the meeting officially began.

"Alright, everyone is here. Let's start the meeting. Shang Wu said.

"This meeting is, how is our team developing? and to solve the food problem in our base areas. Shang Wu said.

"But before I do that, let me tell you a story. The story of Shuibo Liangshan. Shang Wu said. As soon as they heard that there was a story to listen to, everyone suddenly cheered up. Because if you have a meeting, it's boring. And they may not be able to come up with problems, Shang Wu also knows this clearly, because most of his soldiers are from the bottom, and their knowledge level is limited, so they don't understand the big truths when they tell them, but if they explain them through stories, they can get good results. The U.S. military often teaches its own tactics in this way, and with a lot of non-professional vocabulary, it can simplify a complex matter. It's a principle, complex things are simple to do.

"In other words, there was a dynasty called the Song Dynasty, and in the last years of the Song Dynasty, the court was corrupt, there were all kinds of uprisings inside, and there were foreign threats outside. It's a big environment. Shang Wu introduced. Everyone nodded and listened.

"In a place like Jeju, it's probably right here." Shang Wu said. In fact, Shang Wu also doesn't remember clearly, and there may have been mistakes, but in order to make this story sound real, he can only mess around like this.

"There is a piece of 800 miles of water, and there is a mountain in the middle of the water, called Liangshan. Therefore, people call it Shuibo Liangshan. Shang Wu said.

"This Shuibo Liangshan occupies geography, gathers people and why, because he holds high a banner for the heavens, gathering one hundred and eight heroes and heroes. Each of these one hundred and eight heroes has real skills, including officials and soldiers, fishermen, local heroes, and scholars. There are also thieves, but they speak righteous words. This water is in Liangshan, how can I live. Specialized in robbing officers and soldiers. Because they have the advantage of geographical advantages, starting from Shuibo, they can go anywhere in the surrounding area, but it is difficult for the officials and soldiers to exterminate them. In this way, they specialized in robbing the logistics materials, granaries, and treasury of the official army. Shang Wu said, saying this, many people rubbed their hands, and they felt that they should do the same.

"What kind of life they live. It's a big bowl of wine and a big bite of meat. On the scales divide gold and silver. Shang Wu described. Hearing this, they were all drooling with envy.

"Well, this is about weighing gold and silver, and how big is this gold and silver. With this money, I was able to marry several daughters-in-law. A Yellow Turban soldier who took refuge in him asked excitedly.

"Listening to the chief's speech, our good days have just begun." A platoon commander said that he was an officer before. But now, he doesn't want to be an official soldier. Because the officers and soldiers are too bitter.

"Now our situation is that we are running out of food. I ate the last meal but didn't eat the next meal. Let's guard the road. From Handan to Julu, there is an official road near us, but what kind of life are we living, we can still eat and eat, clothes, armor, weapons, are not very good, this is too far from Shuibo Liangshan. We can't live like this. Shang Wu pinched his waist and waved his arms and said forcefully.

"Yes, sir, we can't live like this, why can the officers and soldiers drink wine and eat meat, we can't." Kuroko said excitedly.

"Yes. Why can the officers and soldiers drink wine and eat meat, but we can't. Let's grab what they eat, drink, and use. Isn't that ours? Let's ambush him. This is a kind of cheap war, we will stay on this pipeline, our company will be scattered, one company can't eat, so we will join forces with other companies to fight, in short, how to be good, how to come. We specialize in robbing the food and supplies of the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army. We want everything, food, drink, clothing, and use. Shang Wu said.

"Sir, what if you get the woman back?" A squad leader of the Yellow Turban Army who took refuge in him asked.

"Then I'll leave it to you as a wife." Shang Wu said.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

"But before we rob it, we have to figure out some situations, the things of the common people, we can't rob them, we can't grab the things of the past business trips, they are all buyers and sellers, and our goal is the official army, that is, their logistics troops. That is, the regular army of the official army does not fight. The main force doesn't fight, we can fight. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, sir." The crowd said.

"What's more, if we want to be a hero in Liangshan, we have to pull people in. We can't bully the common people, we don't kill indiscriminately, we can naturally win the favor of others, whether it's a scholar or a pawn dealer. As long as they want to contribute, we can let them in. We are heroes in Liangshan. The more capable people the merrier. Shang Wu said.

"Sir." A platoon commander asked worriedly.

Say. Sir, what do you mean by a capable person? The platoon commander asked puzzled.

"Let's put it this way. Here's an example. Among the heroes of Liangshan, some people thought that the drum was in turmoil. What kind of character is this? Thieves, thieves. This man has done a lot of work. Jumping down from a great place, jumping on this drum without a sound. Like a flea on a drum. You say, isn't this talent? Shang Wu asked.

"Ah, that's amazing. But sir, this is a thief. A squad leader asked worriedly.

"Aren't we thieves? No, weren't we thieves before? Aren't we good men in Liangshan? Another squad leader said.

"You can't say that, this person, as long as he has a sense of justice and responsibility, we can be pulled into our team, and heroes don't ask where they come from." Shang Wu said. And what they heard was right.

"For example, this time moves, this ability to steal the pillars, who can withstand him, and this aspect, in terms of intelligence gathering, is very helpful, some things, we may not be able to know, but, with such a person, can be used in such a place, to be a person, should look at the strengths of the person, you say, right?" Shangwu asked.

"Yes, sir, that's right. We are all heroes, how can heroes ask where they come from. Many squad leaders and platoon leaders who defected from the Yellow Turban Army said that because of the reputation of the Yellow Turban thieves, they have not been able to raise their heads, but now they suddenly feel that they have found confidence. Because Shuibo Liangshan is a group of thieves to put it bluntly, they are too, why can Shuibo Liangshan do a good job, they can't do it well.

"One more point, the last point, and the most important point, I have repeatedly stressed that it is not allowed to bully the common people, not to kill people indiscriminately, not to commit adultery. Do you understand? Shang Wu said solemnly. This is no joke.

"Understood." Everyone said solemnly.

"Okay, I will form a gendarmerie to observe what you do, and if there is a violation of one article, military law will be done." Shang Wu's solemn order arrived.

"Yes. Sir. The crowd nodded.

"Alright. I won't talk about the specific tactics. You will slowly summarize in the future, and the officers will also be assigned to you. Once you've got your weapons, it's up to you. "Shang Wu ordered. Then the congregation was adjourned. A guerrilla war is about to begin.

This is a situation that Shangwu has to face. Although his army has expanded very much, and there are more than 1,000 troops at once, such a force is weak, and in regular battles, 1,000 people will be destroyed in an instant. Such a battle is the last thing Shang Wu wants to face, but for an ambush operation, a thousand people is not a lot. Therefore, he immediately separated his forces and developed himself, and the most effective tactic for himself was guerrilla warfare, in which the enemy was strong and he was weak, and this tactic could make the opponent's battle much more ineffective by prolonging the time. This is the best way for Shangwu to develop and grow.

"Sir, you call me." Little Beans was called. Shangwu looked for him to have something to do.

"I want to set up a Judge Advocate General's Office, and under this Judge Advocate General's Office, there must be a force that can fight well and strictly discipline itself." Shang Wu said.

"What do you mean, sir?" Xiaodouzi asked puzzled.

"You have come to be the captain of this gendarmerie, and the number of men is temporarily organized into two platoons and a company, and your task is to divide them into small groups and supervise the scattered troops for violations of law and discipline. At the same time, you can write something later, you learn quickly, you can teach something. So, these things can be learned very quickly. Shang Wu said.

"Yes, sir. I understand, it's just, sir, that if there's no one around you, I'm worried. Little Douzi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there will be people around me, but your task is much heavier, the gendarmerie, not only to detain your own people, but also to collect some intelligence matters, understand?" Shang Wu patted the other party on the shoulder and said.

"Sir, I understand, I'll do this well." Little Beans said.

"Sir, who will follow you in the future?" Little Bean's side worried.

"I think, just Tetsuko and Saburo. These two are good. Brain flexible, rest assured, I will take care of this matter by myself, are you ready? The number of ** we need will be scary. Shang Wu said.

"Sir, I was about to report you on this. We're running out of brimstone. And fire nitrate. I don't use it much. I'm afraid I can't make it. Without this, it's really hard for us to say. Xiaodouzi said in embarrassment.

"Hmm. I'll think of that. That's right. This matter can be done by getting rid of Lao Jia, but in our hands, there is nothing to exchange, which is really difficult. Shang Wu shook his head and laughed. They've been unstable before, so unstable that they need to keep fighting. There is a strange circle about the construction of their base, that is, their business is not very good. But now, Sangwu has noticed the problem. He had to move over here.

"Sir. What about the problem of food? Without food, we can't dig our tunnels. "Ergou hurried to find his chief, he consumed food at a considerable rate, because the expansion of the tunnel was quite fast.

"Hmm. This problem will be solved. But I have a position I want to give you, I don't know if you can hold it? Shang Wu asked.

"Just give it, sir. I'm not worried about that, but I'm worried about food. Ergou looked very anxious and said.

"We already owe a lot of food. If they don't give food again, they will make trouble. No matter how big an official I am, I can't do it. Ergou said.

"Well, there's no hurry. This position is called the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and in fact, it is to manage the extra people we have now. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for us to do things. Shang Wu said.

"Sir, I'll do it, but the food problem." Ergou said.

"Well, I'll go and borrow food nearby. We can do it by way of mortgage. Shang Wu said.

"Ahh Ergou felt that his chief's head was too naïve. Or maybe he didn't know what it meant.

"Don't. You are now the Minister of Civil Affairs, and many things have to be solved in extraordinary ways. Do you understand? Shang Wu said.

"This. All right. Sir, I'll listen to you. Sir, you have to take on the food problem. "Ergou can't do without the problem of food every time. It can be seen that the food problem has always been a big problem.

"Good. I'll solve it for you, I have an idea, it's not mature, you come and listen. Shang Wu said.
