Yu Zhilong continued: "The second deficiency is that after the valley raid, the various units were put into the battlefield, and there was basically no strong liaison and cooperation. This time to be able to successfully destroy the other party, in addition to our geographical advantage and suddenness, mainly rely on the courage of the soldiers, if you can not take the lead and constantly encourage your subordinates, I am afraid that the other party has already rushed out of the valley or climbed the cliff. ”

"Of course, the suddenness of this war, and my lack of control over the overall situation is also a reason." Yu Zhilong said frankly.

"Today's narrow victory, God is fortunate that the enemy Qianhu was shot to death by our army at the beginning. It was the loss of the enemy's mind that led to further confusion. If the enemy concentrates all his strength to attack a little, the outcome is unpredictable! The lord appointed us as a hundred households in each team, the general banner and so on, with us as the torso and the soldiers as the siblings, if we can have time to organize and train, we will definitely become a strong army. However, our army was hastily created, there was a lack of coordination between the various departments, and the soldiers were untrained, although they had swords and guns in their hands, they were actually similar to the rabble. In addition to our army taking the lead in this battle, it is more dependent on everyone's blood! Even so, how could our army have been victorious without the prior dispatch and reward of the adults? Zhao Shi continued.

"What Brother Shi said is that in terms of strength, we are indeed inferior to the old thief, but we have taken the lead in the sneak attack. The other party folded the leader first, and without command, he lost faster. Adults take the lead, encourage the Fa, and everyone serves their lives, and eventually there will be this victory. Qian Zheng said with a straight face.

Ma Rulong and Huang Er said ashamedly: "Several elder brothers are heroes, especially Mu Baihu and Luo Baihu are the mainstays of the valley before and after, the younger brother was guarding both sides at that time, if it weren't for the support of other brothers to beat down the volunteers who suddenly came up, I am afraid that I don't know how many volunteers can escape." ”

Everyone, you and I spoke openly, basically recalling the course of this battle in its entirety, and talking about the details of the battle everywhere. Yu Zhilong does not insist on how detailed and in-depth he is, the key is to let his subordinates form a habit, after the war, the army can speak freely regardless of formality, regardless of position, which is not only conducive to summing up experience, but also conducive to understanding each other and reducing misunderstandings.

As the night deepened, Yu Zhilong saw that the effect had basically been achieved, so he disbanded the military council and asked everyone to go back and think carefully about today's gains and losses.

Seeing that all his subordinates had dispersed, Yu Zhilong turned his head and asked Fang Xue, who was sitting on the side, if he had finished recording, Fang Xue was a little ashamed and said: "Back to my lord, you adults have said a lot, and the small ones can't be written down for a while, so they can only make a simple record according to the concise method taught by the adults before the military discussion." Although the content is not complete, but the small one still has an impression, please wait for a while, and the small one will go back and sort it out and then ask the adult to take a look! ”

"It doesn't matter, this is our first military meeting record, we just need to record it in general, and then we will think about what ways to improve it, and we can remember it quickly and concisely."

Yu Zhilong ordered Fang Xue to participate in the military conference before the meeting, and asked him to record everyone's words, Fang Xue was very excited about the opportunity to be rewarded, and borrowed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from Zhu Gui early, studied the ink, and spread a stack of white paper on the table.

Seeing Fang Xue's preparation, Yu Zhilong suddenly remembered that most of the tools recorded at this time were brushes, and the writing speed was slow, and now the literati used traditional characters, many characters and strokes are numerous, and a large character may take twenty strokes to write, it is estimated that it is really necessary to completely record the content of the military discussion, even if two people are responsible for the division of labor at the same time, it is impossible to complete. After thinking about it, Yu Zhilong told Fang Xue that he might as well record only the main words of each sentence when recording, and then carefully recall and re-transcribe them after the meeting. As for each person's name, you may wish to make a mark for each person, or you can use a piece of paper for each person. Fang Xue was already smart and thorough, and told Yu Zhilong that he had learned cursive and could use cursive shorthand.

Yu Zhilong nodded and asked him to go back to the house to transcribe, while he was ready to go back to the tent and lie down to rest. Today, after fighting and discussing for a whole day, it was really a sore back. With the afterglow of the torches of the soldiers beside him, at a glance, Yu Zhilong found a slender figure quietly standing under the tree at the head of the village.

Yu Zhilong's footsteps paused slightly, turned around and walked under the tree. Sun Xing followed, and he didn't know what Yu Zhilong meant for a while, so he had to hold the torch high and follow closely.

Walking under the tree, a slender woman slowly came over in the shadows, Sun Xing fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yu Lan, with the faint light, the irrepressible joy on Yu Lan's face could be seen in the haze. Yu Zhilong was in a very excited mood, these days he was so handsome that he could only sleep for three hours a day, in addition to marching and fighting, he was repeatedly thinking about how to treat the prisoners and all kinds of villagers, how to appoint commanders at all levels of the troops, how to gradually carry out the grouping and training of the troops, the communication between the upper and lower levels and the coordination between various departments, and even how to train and select officers at all levels in the future. As the saying goes, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, it is not difficult to see people carry the burden, and now Yu Zhilong has a deep understanding of Yu Hai's difficulties at the beginning.

Fortunately, Zhao Shi, Wu Side and others were able to strictly implement their orders, and now the scale of the team is still small, and there is no need for too many officers, and all orders can basically be realized by relying on each hundred households and general banners. At present, it is to deal with these hundreds of captives as soon as possible, and strive to transfer them to their own team, and there is also to restrain his subordinates and strictly enforce military discipline, Yu Zhilong does not want the army to always be a rogue mode, and although there are not many people in the scout team originally, there are many things that compete with each other, if they are not resolved in advance, it will be troublesome in the future; The other has nothing to do with Liu Zhengfeng's department. Now there are more people in his team, far more than Liu Zhengfeng and other people, and after a long time, I am afraid that some people will have some ideas.

Because there are too many things to consider, Yu Zhilong has no time to think of Yu Lan's figure these days. At the end of the war this evening, Yu Zhilong noticed that Liu Zhengfeng's family members were passing through the mountains in an endless stream, because there were many people around him, and there were many words to explain to Liu Zhengfeng and others, he had no time to find Yu Lan for a while, and later arranged for Liu Zhengfeng and others to stay at Zhu Gui's house, the sky had begun to darken, and then he was in a hurry to hold a military meeting.

Now seeing Yu Lan's smiling face, Yu Zhilong felt that all his troubles had disappeared for a while, and there was only one person in his eyes.

"Have you been here for a long time? How many days are you doing? Yu Zhilong asked first.

"Seeing your military discussion, it's not easy to disturb, so I'll rest here." Yu Lan said simply. When the team rested, Yu Zhilong arranged for all the family members to stay in the village, and Yu Lan settled his mother and others with his sisters, and hurriedly washed and made a fire to cook.

In order to get rid of the chasing officers and soldiers, Liu Zhengfeng mostly chose to take the rugged trails in the mountains, and the daytime march basically did not stop, only resting at night, the young people were still able to persevere, and the old and weak with the team were exhausted. Yu Lan's mother's maiden name is Xin. Although he used to go to the field to farm, but recently he was saddened by the death of the sea, and he was grief-stricken, and his mind was even more tired. Now that I have arrived at the accommodation, my body suddenly feels exhausted. Yu Lan boiled rice porridge, served it to Xin's first, served Xin's to lie down and sleep, and then hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, went out all the way to inquire where Yu Zhilong was, and found the wheat field in front of the village.

Seeing Yu Zhilong and everyone gathered together, his own soldiers lit torches, and guarded everywhere, Yu Lan saw that they were going to discuss with the military. Yu Hai also did it when he was there, and Yu Lan saw it many times, so he was familiar with it. Yu Lan didn't want to turn around, so he simply leaned his back against the big tree to rest, and most of the soldiers on guard around him were old people in the scout team, and they knew Yu Lan, because of their duties, they just stepped forward to say hello, chatted with each other, and didn't rush her, leaving Yu Lan to deal with herself.

Yu Lan didn't see Yu Zhilong for a few days, and he was worried in his heart. Yu Zhilong went, although there was news of the investigation at the beginning of the journey, but in the next few days, because Liu Zhengfeng and others changed the marching route and took the trail to avoid the pursuers, the news was broken. Fortunately, the general direction set at the beginning remained unchanged, that is, through Linqu, out of the mountains, into the plain and then make follow-up plans.

Today, I thought that after being blocked by Meng Qing, everyone had fallen into a desperate situation, just waiting to fight to the death and kill him to break the net, Yu Lan already had the idea of life and death with Yu Zhilong. Only Dao was sent to his life in this barren mountains and mountains, but he didn't expect that under a desperate situation, Yu Zhilong was like a dragon descending into the world, beating Meng Qingyi's army to the ground, and nearly a thousand prisoners were captured, which was really a great victory that had never been seen since Yu Haiju. During the camping and cooking porridge just now, the surrounding aunts and girls all talked happily about this great change, and when they mentioned Yu Zhilong, they all praised him one after another, saying that this slender young man was a character, and I don't know whose girl was lucky enough to marry him.

"If you want me to say, this little brother is both wise and brave, since the last time he came up with the idea to defeat Tatar on the mountain road, I can see that he is a promising character, maybe what will happen in the future!" An aunt said while burning firewood.

"Yes, I heard that the big boss rushed three times and didn't hit the mountain, and all the men were sent to the front, ready to fight the old thief Meng, and even the second son of my family was called up. Who would have thought that after a while, Meng Lao Thief would flee and disappear, and a shouter appeared on the mountain, saying that it was his own people, and Leader Liu still didn't understand what was going on! The other aunt said. Isn't it! My man's sharp eyes first recognized that the person who shouted was the Tian family boy who used to be a spy, and told a few leaders before they believed it! ”

"Sister Lan, let's go down the mountain and see that they have captured hundreds of prisoners, and the captain of the team is almost out of sight! You said you haven't seen you in the past few days, where did Brother Yu pull up so many teams? Yu Lan and several girls were also helping, and a girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a slightly chubby body listened lively, and turned her head to Lan and asked.

This girl's name is Liu E, the age is similar to Yu Lan, the two are very close every day, Liu E saw Yu Lan staring at Yu Zhilong in the afternoon, and naturally realized that Yu Lanfang secretly agreed, Yu Zhilong is now getting ahead, he can be regarded as a young hero in the team, and it is not strange to get the hearts of many women.

"I heard from the leader that two days ago, they laid down the quarry near Linqu, and many people there joined the gang. Later, it seems that two more stockades were laid down and many were captured. Yu Lan replied absentmindedly.

There are a lot of things today, the leaders in the early stage all ran before and after the assembly team, led the team to attack the mountain, and organized the teams to hurry up the march in the later stage, arrived at Shiyu Village to rest, camp, etc., Yu Shichang has not had much time to talk to Yu Lan, just stopped and talked a few words when they met, and Yu Shichang was jealous of Zhilong's series of outstanding performances, and he was unwilling to talk more about Yu Zhilong. just told me that Yu Zhilong, who was in front, suddenly appeared, beat away Meng Qingyi's army, and captured some prisoners. Yu Lan still knew the specific situation from the chatter of the soldiers around him.
