Chapter 161: Before the Attack

Cheng Changyu is now an ant on a hot pot, and he can't wait for Shi Bin to attack immediately, don't care about any logistics and queues at all, catch up with the gang of chaotic people with knives and guns, and alleviate his urgent needs, as for Shi Bin's casualties, these are not something he is willing to consider.

Within three days of acting as a guide, Liu Youfu received eight orders urging Shi Bin to send troops to exterminate the rebellious people.

Overcorrection is not what Shi Bin wants, so Cheng Changyu can't be overly nervous for too long. On the fourth day, even though there were still some preparations that were not completed, Shi Bin still led his troops out of Dingzhou City.

Since the preparations have not been completed, Shi Bin, who has also fought a few battles, will of course not strive to move forward, but move forward step by step like a turtle, just to temporarily keep Dingzhou City within a radius of 80 miles without riotous people.

Although Cheng Changyu was very dissatisfied with Shi Bin's style of play, he had to ask for help, and he was also a person who let him get out of danger and not have to worry about losing his official position for the time being, so he could only let Shi Bin fight like this.

Sixty miles east of Dingzhou City, Shi Bin set up camp there, which is the only way for a large group of men to attack Dingzhou, as long as Dingzhou is not broken, there will be no danger.

In the handsome tent, Shi Bin and Liu Youfu held a military meeting together.

Now that he has joined Shi Bin's family, Liu Youfu naturally wants to go all out to help Shi Bin get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost. So at the beginning of the meeting, he preemptively spoke: "The general judge, the villain wants to know how you will exterminate this disorderly people, or how to drive them away." ”

Of course, this is a bit rude, but it is obviously for Shi Bin's consideration, so Wang San, Li Chao and Sai Xishi did not show dissatisfaction, and by him, the opinion of a local indigenous person may be worthy of an army.

"Liu Youfu, I'm not used to calling you by your name so much in this barracks, so I'll let you be the captain, but I can't let others know for the time being." Shi Bin said very formally.

The news made him very excited, far more excited than he had received the fifty taels of silver. Although he is only a low-level military attache the size of a sesame mung bean, his waist is much stiffer when he has real power.

"Yes, thank you." Liu Youfu immediately got up and saluted and replied.

"You don't have to be so excited, you have a lot of responsibility. The officer was to lead a battalion of men and horses to exterminate a part of the rabble, drive them out of the places where they were not completely destroyed, and then drive them westward step by step, where the sparsely populated and rugged roads should make it difficult to form a large-scale rebel force. ”

This is indeed a very good way, to drive these rabble away from the place where there are still people who can farm in peace, so that they will lose their roots, and it will be easier to exterminate the rootless duckweed.

"The general judge, the villain also agrees with your opinion, but I want to add something." Liu Youfu said very cautiously.

This is what Shi Bin and the others want to hear the most, and Liu Youfu is the first to add opinions, of course, several people are even more happy, and they all signaled that he doesn't have to worry about just saying it, and the speaker is not guilty.

"Lord Shi, those rebellious people just have no food to eat, you must know this, and they must be strong and good men who can participate in the rebellion, if they are exterminated by us or driven to the barren mountains and forests, I am afraid that it will be a little unattainable."

Before this, Shi Bin and others had indeed been thinking about how to gain a foothold in Dingzhou, but they had not carefully thought about how to deal with those rebellious people.

Could it be that they are quietly subsuming those chaotic people under their banner like the brothers and sisters of the Zhao'an Sai family? Thinking of this, Shi Bin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. No matter how bold he was, he would not dare to pass through such a rebellious rebellion at this time.

Seeing the bitter look on Shi Bin's face, Liu Youfu immediately knew that he had misunderstood, and in order to prevent himself from being mistaken, he immediately said: "My lord, you misunderstood, I mean that the leaders of the gang will definitely be killed, but you will definitely capture a group of bandits, and we can't kill them all, it's not good to give them all to Lord Cheng, it's better for us to keep some of them for him." Most of these gangsters know each other with those civilians who keep to themselves, and if you want those civilians to spread your benevolence and righteousness, many of the chaotic people who just follow the trend will naturally stop rebelling and take the initiative to take refuge, and these rabble will naturally disintegrate internally. ”

To say that he didn't expect to intercept the captives, this must be false, Shi Bin is lacking young and strong labor now, but he really didn't think of internally disintegrating this group of chaotic people by engaging in propaganda

Shi Bin was very happy to recruit Liu Youfu, because since he dared to say this, it meant that he must know how to get in touch with those troublemakers, so that he could indeed reduce too much loss.

When the big problem is solved, there is still a small problem: where to go once the preparations are done, and how to start?

Now it is only a defensive posture, and once the preparations are completed, it should be transformed into an offensive posture, and this is indeed a result that must be negotiated immediately, and the sooner the better, so that you will not be caught off guard when the time comes.

Although the rebels are a rabble, it is precisely because they are a rabble that they are likely to have no rules and regulations when they start a war, and it is easy to think of 'wildfires that cannot be burned out, and spring breezes blow and regenerate', and the goal of complete expulsion cannot be achieved.

"This is indeed a trouble, our total strength is only six hundred, although we are all elite soldiers, we still can't separate. Once the division of troops is divided, the casualties will definitely increase greatly, and maybe they will be surrounded by those riots. ”

"The forbidden army in Dingzhou is also rotten, and they can only fight with the wind, and the place where we camp must not be handed over to them to garrison, if they are copied by those chaotic people, it will be a shame." Li Chao said with great certainty.

These words are all truthful and reasonable, but they are useless in solving the problem, and the needles in the handsome tent can be heard suddenly.

"My lord, I have come up with a solution, but this solution is estimated to come at a cost." Liu Youfu was not so jubilant this time, but a little at a loss, it seemed that this method was a little out of place.

Since they are all dead and stuck here, it is good to have a way, of course the living cannot be suffocated by urine, as for whether it is appropriate to listen to it.

"Captain Liu, even if you say it, as long as it's not harmful."

Seeing Shi Bin say this, Liu Youfu finally had the courage to speak, "Let's do the opposite, not to take the initiative but to attract those chaotic people to attack us." ”

Let the rioters take the initiative to attack them? How is this possible?

Now that he has no scruples, Liu Youfu said even more boldly, "My lord, we can gather most of the good people in a few cities, and if the cities are not enough, we can build a large fortress." ”

'Solid wall clear', this is the first word that comes to Shi Bin's mind.

"This will indeed make the rebels completely rootless duckweed, but wouldn't the civilians not work without eating and drinking, and in the end they will become chaotic people again? Isn't the scale of this rebellion getting bigger and bigger? Shi Bin asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course not, sir. The real protection was the damned landlords and rich merchants, and the common people who temporarily hid in the fortresses and cities were to be supported by them. It's a big deal to talk about the conditions when the time comes, and if you can't talk about it, open the door to welcome the chaotic people. ”

Indeed, it was the people who really suffered the loss of the rebellion, and if they didn't shed some blood, they couldn't say anything.

With this method, everyone was happy, and Shi Bin also praised Liu Youfu a lot, and said again and again that he didn't look at the wrong person. Liu Youfu was also very happy to be appreciated by Shi Bin in this way, and he was more willing to follow him.
