Lijiazhuang. Shang Wu and Jia Xu are walking around, on the one hand, they want to see the situation in Lijiazhuang, on the other hand, many situations need to be discussed by two people, Lijiazhuang people are used to two people, but they will be followed by a guard, but they are generally farther away. Mainly responsible for security, sometimes confidential documents will follow, because a lot of important ideas are born in this way.

"Counting what was reported this morning, we have already taken seventeen county seats. This is a remarkable result. Jia Xu said to Shangwu.

"Let's talk about other things, to be honest, taking down seventeen county seats, for us, is a burden, we have seventeen burdens on our backs, among these seventeen burdens, there are many treasures, we are reluctant to lose them, carry it, I feel a little too heavy. That's a big burden on us. Shang Wu said.

"Huh." After Jia Xu listened, he smiled helplessly. The good news is that they have taken seventeen county seats, and the county government treasury has temporarily solved their food and financial problems, but at the same time, they have also gone north for seventeen burdens, and it is one thing to take the county seat, and whether they can hold it is another matter.

"The parliamentary system, I think we still have to implement it, to see if we can implement it in a very difficult environment, if we can, it means that our idea is right, if not, it means that our idea is wrong, in such a situation, we can say nothing. Naturally, do less. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. We can give it a try, after all, it doesn't have much to lose for us. Jia Xu said.

"This thing can indeed be tried, but our affairs can't end like this." Shang Wu said. We still have a lot of things to deal with, judging from the recent battle report, we have taken some small counties, and some large cities, such as Julu, we can't attack at all, involving the country, it was Lao Mu who planned in advance, they should cooperate with the outside, plus the attack of ** bag, accidentally won, and Handan, so far there is no movement, and the casualties are relatively large. We have suffered a lot in attacking fortified positions. For example, under the city of Handan, we lost more than 1,200 soldiers, although most of them were militia, guerrillas. But they are, after all, a member of our military forces, and such losses are still very precious to us. "Shangwu sees the bad side. These are all things they need to pay attention to.

"Hmm. What we lack in this area is. The new army units are regaining their combat effectiveness, and at the same time, they also need to be vigilant against attacks from the Julu direction. They can't move, and what we can use is the troops of the military region, their weapons and equipment are poor, and the weapons of the militia are even more so, and it is much more difficult for them to let a group of farmers attack a well-defended city. However, this has also exposed some of our problems, the militia's combat effectiveness is still not strong, and the military training capability is still unable to keep up. These are the problems that we have exposed. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. Therefore, in the next step, we must move toward this step of rectification and reform, and strive to better improve our offensive and operational plans. I think we should suspend the offensive, after all, the attack on the county town was not launched by us at the moment, and our main purpose was to lure the officers and troops south, enter the guerrilla zone, and break down their military pressure. As long as they divide their troops, they have a greater hope of solving most of the problems. Shang Wu said. The main strategic goal of Shangwu's attack on the county seat was to move the official army south, not to take more county seats, and the county seat was only something to be done incidentally.

But for now, Huangfu Song seems to be able to calm down, and his main force is still not moving. It seems that training is being intensified, and I think their target is still the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Quyang, and only by defeating the Yellow Turban Army will we be the next target. For our own sake, we must not allow Huangfu Song to achieve such a goal. Otherwise, once the Yellow Turban Army is eliminated, it will attack our army. It is very disadvantageous to our army. Jia Xu analyzed.

"Yes, that's right. But we are not in a hurry, naturally some people are in a hurry, and if we make such a big move, their Emperor Majesty will definitely panic, as long as His Majesty the Emperor moves. Huangfu Song, he just doesn't want to move, he has to move. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"In this way, Huangfu Song will be considered to have entered our calculations." Jia Xu said.

"That's right. We are waiting for Huangfu Song. So, at the moment we have to take back all our forces. The siege is just for show. To create a kind of pressure, the focus is still to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and to strike at the enemy's reinforcements to come up. In that case, it's a big opportunity for us. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. However, we should reorganize the guerrillas, or at least give them some appearance, because the troops are constantly reorganizing to improve their combat effectiveness. It's not terrible to lose the battle, it's terrible that we don't reorganize so that they don't realize how much better their condition is. Jia Xu said.

"Yes, we also have to do a good job of the ideas in their heads in time, so that they can have some changes in their thinking, and tell them that the food should be eaten in one bite, since Handan, such a big city, we can't eat it, we can find a way to eat them little by little. Or divide into multiple times to eat them. In this way, our situation will be much better, eat once, we can't eat, we eat again, the point is, we can eat their field mobile forces, mobilize their troops to run back and forth. As long as we run, we can eat them, and since the officers and soldiers like these burdens, we will give them these burdens and let them carry them. Shang Wu said.

"Hehe, such a burden, I think, sooner or later will be broken by you." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"You can see what you've done. The officers and soldiers were constantly exhausted because of these burdens, and in the end, the fat ones were dragged into thin ones, and the thin ones were directly dragged to death. In this way, the prisoner is extremely passive, and in this little bit of attrition, our troops are constantly growing, which is a good thing that we must see. Jia Xu said. Well. That's right. Shang Wu nodded and admitted this, Jia Xu was right, what they wanted was such an effect, otherwise, they wouldn't have done it. After all, it takes a lot of ingenuity to do something like this.

"Sir. Sir. I have something. At this time, Ergou shouted loudly when he saw Shangwu.

"What's the matter?" Shangwu asked.

"Sir. There were some salt dealers from Qingzhou, but they brought some fierce fire oil, and we didn't know how to use these things, and if they didn't work, we wouldn't accept them. Ergou said.

"Fierce fire oil?" Shangwu asked.

"yes, it's that kind of black stuff that smells, and there's something that stinks, anyway, something like that, I don't think we can use it." Ergou said. But how to use it, whether it is useful or not, he still needs to ask Shangwu.

"Good stuff. Hurry up and put it away. Quick, let's go over and see. As soon as Shang Wu heard it, he knew that it was oil, and with oil, many things could come out. Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, asphalt, paraffin, these things can be refined from oil, and this is what is lacking in the base areas now. Because many things cannot be produced because of a lack of them. For example, hot air balloons, there is no better fuel, and it is an empty word to make an airbag, at most it is to make a Kong Ming lantern, which does not seem to have much other use than signaling.

"Quick. Let's take a look. Shang Wu took Jia Xu to take a look.

"We brought these from Qingzhou, so you have to accept them." Tian Xiaoqi said excitedly.

"We don't know these things, or you wait and see, have a meal, and we'll go and invite our chief. Our chief took a look. We'll take it. A Red Turban officer explained.

"It would have taken a lot of effort for us to transport it from such a great distance to this place if we hadn't. Some of this is unreasonable, or else, in this case, you give us some cloth, forget it. Tian Xiaoqi said.

"This, we can't be the master, these things, we can't give them to you casually, after all, we also lack such things." An officer said.

"Wait. Everything was collected. "Shang Wu came here quickly. Then he quickly looked at the jars. Smell the taste, yes, it's oil, if it weren't for the fact that oil can't be drunk, he really wants to take a sip in one sitting, he likes oil, he has never liked oil like this.

"This. This is. Tian Xiaoqi looked at Shang Wu.

"This is our Chief Xu." A Red Turban officer said.

"That, that Xu, Chief Xu." Tian Xiaoqi was a little excited, and he stammered a little excitedly.

"Oh. It's the oil you shipped. This is good, we need a lot, a lot of this oil, can you ship it? Shang Wu patted the other party on the shoulder and said.

"This, isn't this fierce fire oil?" Tian Xiaoqi asked Shangwu puzzled.

"Oh. The same. But the price will be more fair to you. Whatever you need, just say it. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"I, we don't need anything, we need cloth, good cloth, and shoes. Warm. Tian Xiaoqi said.
