Liu Renyu bid farewell to Hong Chengchou and returned to his big tent.

When Liu Renjie saw that Liu Renyu was back, he wanted to ask Hong Chengchou what he said to his general.

"My lord, what did Hong Junmen say to you?"

"Nothing, talking about meetings, fights and stuff like that. You will go and send the two thousand taels of silver we have captured, plus the one thousand taels of silver we brought out, and 1,000 stone of grain to Hongjunmen. Then, you look for people from Gansu in the army, and ask the Guyuan soldiers who the two generals' personal guards and confidant generals are. ”

"Yes, my lord, I will do it."

Liu Renjie received the order, so he first sent someone to send the money and grain to Hong Chengchou, and then went to the barracks to look for it, and finally found a soldier from Pingliang Mansion in Gansu.

Liu Renjie gave the soldiers of Pingliang Mansion some money and broken silver, as well as dough cakes and dried meat, and asked the soldiers to take these things to find out the news.

The soldier took these sugar-coated shells, and when he found an opportunity, he went to chat with the original soldiers, and when the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears. The big guys chatted and chatted, and after chatting and getting acquainted, the soldier of the Jingbian Fort Army took out the money, broken silver, cakes, and dried meat to the Guyuan soldiers, and then began to ask: "Who are the henchmen of your general?" ”

When Guyuan soldiers heard this question, they didn't think too much about it, so they pointed it out to the soldiers in Jingbian Fort one by one.

When the soldier at Jingbian Fort saw this, he wrote them down one by one, so that he could go back and report to his superiors.

In the end, the money, broken silver, flour cakes, and dried meat were all used up, and the Guyuan soldiers were very happy to get the benefits, and the soldier at Jingbian Fort was also very happy when he got the news, and both sides were very happy.

When Liu Renjie heard that he had obtained the information, he asked the soldier to lead the way, and he himself took He Yaozong and Sun Wuxian and other capable subordinates to recognize people one by one, and got to know Jin Xiru and Zhang Mingzhe's guards and capable generals.

After finishing this matter, Liu Renjie went back and reported to Liu Renyu: "My lord, what cronies are under the hands of those two Guyuan generals, and they have already been investigated, and they have already known each other. ”

"Very good, remember people well, remember clearly, I will be useful in the future."

"Yes, my lord, the humiliation has been written." Liu Renjie agreed.

**************

The next day, in Hong Chengchou's big tent of the Chinese army, Hong Chengchou was sitting on a chair in the center, and on his left hand sat Du Wenhuan, a veteran general in the army, and on the opposite side of these two people, according to the order of official and seniority, sat two Guyuan generals Jin Xiru and Zhang Mingzhe, five guerrillas from Yansui's side, Liu Wuguo, Yang Jinrong, Yu Pengcheng, Fang Lingshen, Ma Zhankui, and Liu Renyu, who was about to be promoted to guerrilla and was still a garrison of Jingbian Fort for the time being.

After all the generals sat down, Hong Chengchou said: "I have invited you here today to discuss the matter of defeating Wang Jiayin, a giant thief, and relieving the siege of Yan'an. ”

"Yes, Junmen."

Liu Renyu agreed, and then someone hung the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Shaanxi on a pillar, and then he took a push rod, pointed to the map, and told everyone information.

"Junmen, Du Zongzhen, generals, according to Mantianxing, the thief leader Wang Jiayin led 30,000 troops to besiege Yan'an, and the rest still had more than 10,000 men and horses, scattered in Ansai, Yanchang, Yanchuan, Heshui, Yanzhou, Yichuan and other places to collect grain." Liu Renyu said as he pointed around the map with a putter.

In other words, Liu Renyu hung out this map, it is detailed information, and the drawing is also very detailed, this kind of map Liu Wuguo has seen a lot, and he is immune, but Du Zongzhen and other generals who have seen a lot of maps of the landscape school type are surprised when they see this kind of map, and they are amazed, and they all ask where did these maps come from?

Of course, Liu Renyu would not tell the truth about such problems, and he lied without changing his face and heartbeat that the map was obtained from Taixi.

When all the generals heard this answer, they first said that the red-haired ghost's kitsch and lewd skills were really good, and the map was really good, and then they said something like the red-haired ghost on Tessie's side was not at ease, and we should guard against them.

Liu Renyu fooled this question, quickly finished the rest of the news, and then shut up.

Hong Chengchou was basically indifferent to the question of the map, and after listening to the news that Liu Renyu said, he replied and said: "Renyu has already told the truth of the enemy's army, you can see how we should fight this battle?" ”

"Junmen, now the thieves are strong, our army is only 4,000 soldiers, and most of the soldiers in our army are unwilling to fight to the death, and the combat power is not strong, so I think that it is better to attack the thieves and grain troops one by one, and cut off Wang Jiayin's grain road. The thieves have no food, and they will naturally be in chaos, and when the time comes, our army will take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and our army can win the victory at the lowest cost. ”

It was Jin Xiru, the general of Guyuan, who came up with this idea, his abacus was like this, their Guyuan soldiers were guest soldiers, and they didn't want to fight to the death, so they thought about attacking everywhere and fighting with a small group of thieves, so that the loss was small, and they could take extra money, so why not, there was no need to go to Yan'an City to fight with a large group of thieves.

"No, the thieves are under the city of Yan'an, Yan'an is in danger, if Yan'an is lost, the court will definitely let us go, so the last general thinks that the whole division should attack and destroy the thieves in one battle." Fang Lingshen is a local, and his home is in Yan'an, so he is anxious to save Yan'an.

"General Fang, the thieves are powerful, our army is only 4,000 people, and there are 30,000 thieves, and the enemy is outnumbered." Jin Xiru saw Fang Lingshen say this, so he reminded the other party.

"General Jin, don't you know what a thief is? The thieves used to be mud legs, even if there were new recruits, it was only two or three out of ten, that is to say, the real thieves with combat effectiveness only 6,000 people were killed, and our army was 4,000 elite soldiers, can't they still defeat them? ”

"Hehe, I don't know how this fact is, it's just that the soldiers have grievances, and they are afraid that they will not fight to the death, so I came up with this strategy. If General Fang thinks that your method can be used, you will take your own soldiers to fight the thieves, and we will not go to Guyuan soldiers. Jin Xiru listened to Fang Lingshen's words, smiled coldly, and brought up this fact again in a conspiracy, and then openly went on strike.

As soon as Jin Xi said this, Fang Lingshen suddenly frowned, and snorted coldly: "I only have 200 men and horses under my command, how can I fight with the thieves." You have so many men at your disposal, but you don't want to fight the thieves. I think General Jin, you are actually afraid of war and avoid war, and the soldiers' resentment or something is actually an excuse. ”

"Hey, what the fuck are you talking about! The soldiers have not received their salaries for 30 months, but now they still have to fight, how can the soldiers be willing to die, if I force them to go to war, and they mutinied, will you bear this responsibility? It's not our mother's shoulder. ”

Jin Xiru saw that Fang Lingshen said that he was afraid of war and avoided war, so he choked back angrily.

"Hmph, it's not been a day or two since the court owes salaries, so didn't the soldiers fight? It's not that it's right, I think the soldiers are unwilling to fight to the death, it's entirely because you're afraid of the war and avoid the war, and you don't want to contribute, so the soldiers are damaged by you, a supless bastard. Fang Lingshen saw that Jin Xiru was annoyed, and thought that the other party was being told the central thing by himself, so he accentuated his tone and continued to sarcastically mock the other party.

"Who the fuck are you talking about?" Jin Xiru asked angrily.

"Let's say you're an eggless thing." Fang Lingshen raised his eyebrows without giving in, and replied in a vicious voice.

"You donkey day to try again, and then let's cut you down." Jin Xiru was furious, so he simply pulled out the saber on his waist, and then pointed the knife at Fang Lingshen, looking like he was about to do it at any time.

"Yo he, you can do it, you don't dare to fight the thief, but you dare to start infighting, come, cut it here, if you don't cut it, you will be my grandson."

Fang Lingshen saw that Jin Xiru had drawn a knife, so he stepped forward with his neck crossed, and while gesturing on his neck, he said to Jin Xiru in a provocative tone: "Come on, cut here." Grandpa, I frowned, it's your grandson. ”

"You, you ........"

Jin Xiru was holding a knife in his hand, but he didn't dare to cut it, and he lost face when he took it back, so he was like a statue, and he couldn't move there.

When the two were at a stalemate, Du Wenhuan, who had been watching the excitement on the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted: "What are you two little characters doing?" How can you be so formless in front of Hong Junmen, why don't you go back and sit down for me quickly. ”

The two generals who were fighting, Du Wenhuan, who was a veteran figure, spoke to him, so he hurriedly asked Hong Chengchou for a crime, and then returned to sit on his horse, and then stared at each other with big eyes.

"Junmen, the opinions of these two are all strategies to deal with thieves, you see which one is suitable, and we should follow it." After Du Wenhuan reprimanded Jin Xiru and Fang Lingshen, he asked Hong Chengchou to change the strategy.

But said that this Hong Chengchou had just seen his two generals fighting, his face had been as black as ink, and his mood was extremely bad, according to his original intention, of course he wanted to directly lead the troops to fight the thieves and save Yan'an directly. In other words, Hong Chengchou agreed with Fang Lingshen's strategy.

However, Jin Xiru's attitude made him worry that the Guyuan soldiers would mutiny, and if the troops were divided into two routes, the strength of the official army would be weakened, and he was afraid that only relying on 2,000 local soldiers in Yansui would not be absolutely sure that he could defeat Wang Jiayin, who already had thousands of rebellious official troops, and 30,000 horses.

When Hong Chengchou thought of this, he couldn't help but be upset and irritable.

And just when he was still worried about how to coordinate the combat strategy of the Guyuan soldiers and the local soldiers and horses of Yansui, Liu Renyu, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up, step by step, slowly walked to Hong Chengchou's eyes, knelt down, and said: "The military gate, there is a strategy for the lowly position, which can take into account the strategy of the two generals. ”

"Oh, what's the strategy, you can tell me about it." Hong Chengchou felt that Liu Renyu had always been very reliable, and as soon as the other party spoke, he listened with great interest.

"Yes, Junmen. The humble position means that General Jin took the Guyuan soldiers to cut off the grain route of the thieves, the humble duty brought his own soldiers and horses to meet the giant thief King Jiayin, and the military gate took our soldiers from Yulin to sit in Qingjian. ”

As soon as Liu Renyu said this, the big tent of the Chinese army, which was still a little quiet because of the tense atmosphere, suddenly became agitated, and everyone looked at this young man who was talking wildly with a monster-like look.

Everyone's thoughts are the same, 'Even if the thieves are unbearable, there are 30,000 people, and you dare to beat 30,000 people with a few hundred people, you kid shouldn't have a problem.' ’

Hong Chengchou was of course surprised when he heard Liu Renyu say this, he thought that Liu Renyu was talking big in order to invite favor, so he said solemnly to his newly recruited disciples: "Renyu, there is no joke in the army, you must not talk nonsense." ”

"The military gate, the lowly post is not talking nonsense, the humble post is willing to make a military order, this is going to ask the thief, it will definitely succeed, if it can't succeed, please kill my head in the military gate."

Liu Renyu said very confidently that he would definitely be able to deal with the thieves, and by the way, he also said that he would set up a military order.

"Yo, a few hundred soldiers can kill tens of thousands of thieves, even if the thieves are unbearable, there are always some rebellious border troops full of them, just with your little soldiers, I don't think it's easy." Jin Xiru, who had previously opposed directly sending troops to fight the thieves, saw that Liu Renyu was so violent, but he seemed a little timid, so he said a few cool words.

When the other generals heard this, they all nodded secretly, and they all felt that Liu Renyu was digging his own grave.

"General Jin, in ancient times, the battle of Guandu, the battle of Chibi, and the battle of Weishui, all of them won more with less, I think as long as the soldiers use their lives, I take the lead, and I may not be able to defeat the thieves."

Liu Renyu listened to Jin Xiru's cool words, but he was not annoyed, he just smiled faintly, and then replied.

Hong Chengchou saw that Liu Renyu was so confident, and considering that the other party had fought in the north and killed Jiannu, he expected that he still had some ability, so he held the psychology of believing you once, nodded and agreed: "In this case, I will ask from you, but you need to make a military order, if this battle is lost, and the fighter is delayed, then I will definitely kill your head, what, do you dare to make a military order?" ”

"Why don't you dare, if you can't destroy Wang Jiayin in this battle, ask the military to kill the head of the lowly position." Liu Renyu replied loudly.

"Okay, Renyu is really a strong man! Since you are determined to go on the expedition, then without further ado, you should quickly lead your troops to Yan'an and go to relieve the siege of Yan'an. ”

"Yes, Junmen."

Liu Renyu agreed, and then he was majestic and high-spirited, and walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army.

"This guy is a young man after all, young and vigorous, this time I'm afraid it's more than lucky."

Looking at Liu Renyu's distant back, the generals thought so in their hearts.

"If Renyu can't win, what should I do?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Renyu's distant back and thought.
