658 gained the trust of the Republican Army
Lieutenant Liu Tou was in the guerrilla group organized by the Republican Army. Their main task is to organize and protect the safety of the local population.
The task is very general. It's not that simple to do.
Lieutenant Liu Tou took out his pen and paper and recorded some of the situations he saw.
More and more peasants lost their land here, and the whole social order was completely chaotic. Where there are green seedlings, there are landlords and strong land, and only some people are working on it, and their workload is very large, and they may not have enough to eat for a busy year. Thin yellow muscles have become the norm. More people fled because there was no way to survive here. In such a situation, how much farmland can be sown in the state? It's really not clear.
When they came here, there were not many people, only twenty people, and the top officer was a retired captain.
Along the way, they rescued several routed teams and relied on logistical supplies provided by intelligence officers to stabilize their positions. The number barely remained at around 80. I don't have to worry about eating for the time being, but how to develop is a big problem.
Because this is the first time that the Republican Army has done this in the enemy's rear, what is guerrilla warfare, many officers only stay on the basis of the idea of ambushes and beating sticks, and it seems that it is still a big problem to accomplish other things.
In other words, it is largely impossible to complete such a series of changes in the situation.
"How we should do such a thing, most of the officers, non-commissioned officers don't have very good ideas. However, based on some of our own needs at the moment, I think we can do that. Liu Tou took out some of his experience in managing warehouses and wrote.
"First of all, we need to integrate forces, the local spontaneous formation of some bandit-like self-protection mechanisms, they are either hidden in the mountains, or they are integrated into fortresses, and then they become bandits, small attacks on passing business vehicles, large attacks on landlords and powerful commercial teams to grab supplies, but they are too scattered. Their ideas may be diverse, but their only idea is to survive in such a hostile environment, and it would be very advantageous to unite them, integrate them, and form them into a new force on such a basis. For example, the development of the White Polish Army is very strong, and in such a chaotic situation, they can form such a favorable situation on their own, which is their most favorable development direction at present. Six heads wrote.
"Secondly, we need food, a lot of food, in addition to food, we also need weapons, and other materials, maybe we will spend some of the winter here, we need warm clothes, in this way, our situation has become extremely favorable, without these materials, our situation may be very bad, in short, we need a steady stream of logistics supplies, especially deep behind enemy lines, the more we have to ensure such some advantages, Although it is possible to survive by capturing some enemies, after all, capture is full of great risks, and supply is still the most important way. Liu Tou recorded.
"The last point is to establish their own base, from past experience, if there is no base, such as the Red Turban Army did not have such experience, it will lead to the situation in a very unfavorable situation, we have no rear, we can not provide sufficient supplies, as well as sufficient soldiers, no foundation, just like catkins floating around, this way of fighting, is extremely unfavorable, we need to establish our own base, and then have a foundation for development. For the selection of the base, we should try to choose the mountainous area, because the terrain is complex, like bandits, choose a favorable place to build their own nest, we also need to do this, only in this way, we can stick to it for a long time, and at the same time attract more people to participate. Liu Tou wrote.
Although Liu Tou himself thinks that his writing is not very good, and there may be a lot of lack in many places, if it really develops like this, he feels that it is still very promising, at least, it is still extremely beneficial to them.
This is the first time that the Republican Army has established a base area behind enemy lines in the enemy's rear, as well as guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and this is a new topic, because such a subject they need people, and at the same time, they need a lot of practice to accomplish such things, and only in this way can their situation become much more favorable, and this is their current situation, which will satisfy their various needs to the greatest extent.
The Republican Army did it by itself.
Jingshi, Luoyang. East Gate Ten Mile Long Pavilion.
"Brother Meng Zhuo. Fill this cup. Cao Cao said to Zhang Miao that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao are all friends, and Zhang Miao is going to Chen Liu to serve as a taishou, which is considered a local official.
"Don't send it." Zhang Miao said after taking a sip.
"Alas! I don't know when I will leave Jingshi, and I don't know when I will be able to come back. Zhang Miao said.
"Meng Zhuo, why do you say that?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.
"Don't Meng De know? It has been a big disaster since ancient times, how can we sit back and watch such a big disaster happen. Now that there is a republic outside, the Xiliang thieves cannot be pacified, and the land annexation in various places is serious, and the slightest carelessness is a disruption. The situation in Kyoshi. It's hard to wait. Zhang Miao said worriedly. Cao Cao agrees with this very much, His Majesty's condition is getting more and more serious, but His Majesty still loves his youngest son Liu Xie very much, so he constantly encourages Jian Shuo to support his youngest son to ascend the throne. And he doesn't value his eldest son Liu Wei very much, especially for Queen He, the relatives of the general He Jin are very jealous.
In the local area, the governors of various places have been appointed, and there are constant rebellions in various places, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has to send the imperial family or trusted ministers to serve as local governors, for example, Han Fu, the pastor of Jizhou, although more than half of Jizhou fell into the hands of the republican army, but Han Fu still served as the pastor of Jizhou. Even Yuan Shu got Yangzhou. And Zhang Miao's evaluation of Yuan Shu is not very good, which can be described as a chaotic minister and thief.
"Brother Meng Zhuo, maybe the general can unify the situation, and the Han country can still be stable." Cao Cao said.
"I hope so." Zhang Miao said. The relatives and the scholar class formed an alliance with each other, and they had to deal with the eunuch group favored by His Majesty the Emperor, if the eunuch group was eradicated. There are also very different opinions, the reason is that to eradicate the eunuchs, you must first get the emperor's trust and orders, but as long as His Majesty the emperor is there, they have no way to deal with such an outcome. This has created a very passive situation, and they have nothing to do in the face of such a situation.
"Don't send it." Zhang Miao waved his hand and said this, and then left in a carriage to Chen Liu.
"Zhang Taishou, it makes sense." Xi Zhicai said on the side.
"Hey, it's hard for us to act even if we have a reason, our army lacks a lot of money and food. It's so difficult to be in such a difficult situation. Cao Cao said helplessly.
Cao Cao is still very realistic, because the amount of materials they lack is quite large, so big that it is unlikely that he can solve some such things comprehensively, but if he can't solve them comprehensively, he himself doesn't know how to deal with such things. So, the situation is still very difficult.
The new army needed a new economic base, and Cao Cao was unable to move at all because of various restrictions, and his military reform was difficult to move forward in the midst of many difficulties. This was a big test for Cao Cao, and this test was enough to make him lose some patience.
Although Shangwu is optimistic about Cao Cao, what the republican army has no choice but to need is a practical reason, Cao Cao lacks his own base, does not have his own territory, although the army has great potential, but helplessly, they have no foundation, it is difficult to carry out such some situations.
Guanzhong, inside Dong Zhuo's barracks.
Dong Zhuo looked at the order sent from above. He was a little disdainful, but such an order, they still had to carry out, and the official order was to go to the state to support the operation.
"The current situation in the state is chaotic, and the Republican Army is very powerful, and we cannot be enemies of it." Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu said.
"Well, my lord, so do we." Guo Yan also said.
"I understand, but the court orders so, what should I do?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"Delay, at this time, only delay can prevent the situation from being unfavorable to us." Guo said that this is their established strategy.
"My lord, now that Your Majesty's health is becoming more and more unfavorable, we can slowly approach Hedong, and the Republican Army will block the advance of our army, which is the reason why our army is stationed. Once there is a change in Luoyang, we can quickly enter it. This is to be beneficial. Guo Yan said.
"Hmm. It's a brilliant plan. "Dong Zhuo understands the current situation very well.
"But Your Majesty sent another general to garrison Guanzhong to defend Xiliang, won't we lose our foundation?" Dong Zhuo asked Guo Yan.
"My lord, I can leave but not leave. We are stationed in Guanzhong, the main force is not moving, 5,000 cavalry are on standby at any time, and at the same time secretly make peace with the republican army, and get the support of the republican army. The situation is extremely favorable to us. Guo Yan said.
Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, in this case, they have considered everything. A lot of things can be done. This is a very beneficial thing for Dong Zhuo. This situation will be very advantageous for them.
"So, set it up as soon as possible." Dong Zhuo said. The crux of the matter is that they must have the support of the Republican Army, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous once the two sides form a real fighting situation.
