The officers and soldiers set a huge trap in front, and only in this way can we explain why the ghosts of the border troops persisted and the strong men disappeared along the way. Lu Shi's analysis did not show the shock and nervousness he wanted to see, but only the disbelief, disdain, yes, disdain on everyone's faces.

The victory of two consecutive wars has made everyone burst with confidence, and everyone has unconsciously become arrogant and proud, and become contemptuous of the officers and soldiers, which is a double-edged sword, and the enhancement of confidence is a good thing, but too much confidence is impetuous and arrogant, and that is a bad thing. It would be dangerous to be so proud to ignore the fact that the officers and troops are still strong, and to be so proud that they ignore the huge traps that may arise ahead.

"Don't be carried away by a few big victories, we are not invincible in the world, the official army is not inferior to pigs and dogs, the road ahead is still long, everyone must put away this thought." Honestly, I said seriously.

Looking at everyone's expressions or your too cautious expressions, Lu Shi reluctantly changed the topic and said: "No matter what, now, I think that it is impossible for the official army to be indifferent to these two defeats, and they will definitely retaliate against us." ”

"This is the truth, the clay people still have three points of earthiness, it is impossible for us to be shrunken turtles after a beating, it is certain to retaliate against us, you boys can't really treat the government as a bad seed." The third uncle knocked on the table to help Lu Shi speak.

"Leaders, it makes sense for the military advisor to think about it, and it is impossible for any imperial court to tolerate a group of rebels going around, so it is inevitable to encircle and suppress us." Zhao Xing, who rarely spoke on this occasion, stood up and said worriedly.

However, no matter what anyone said, even Guo Tianxing, who had always been obedient to Lu Shiyan, began to hesitate to echo the opinions of others, thinking that the officials and soldiers were afraid of being beaten by themselves, and the governors of the three sides just wanted to send their own gifts out of the country and pass on the trouble.

The meeting dragged on in this rare quarrel, and precious time was slowly lost.

Lu Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this was all the result of encouraging everyone to express their opinions at the beginning, and he didn't want to become his own words.

Democratic centralism seems to be good, but absolute democracy is not good, but now that the intention of expressing one's own views has just been cultivated, it cannot be beaten to death with a stick.

Looking at the sky, Guo Tianxing finally suggested in a low voice: "Sir's consideration must be right, but it's not good to give up the original action plan and give up halfway because of speculation, otherwise, how about we go for a while and test the reaction of the officers and soldiers before making a decision?" "Saying this is actually still in a fluke mentality, hoping to get through this hurdle by luck.

This proposal was immediately supported by all the captains except Zhu Tie, and everyone said that they had come here, so let's go a little further and take a look.

Even the third uncle has adopted this method that he thinks is the most stable, Cao Meng, Geng Kui, including Chen Ce, all mean this, this time everyone has really formed the vast majority of opinions. Lu Shi had no choice but to reluctantly agree with everyone's opinions.

Lu Shi looked at the sky, the sun was already overhead, and the time was about one o'clock in the afternoon in the later generations, and he couldn't go far no longer on the march, so it was better to camp on the spot, so that the old and weak of the old camp and the brothers who were already tired could rest completely.

When the four veterans of the old camp released the news, they were supported by all the old camps, and they were indeed tired.

The people can rest, but the Black Tiger Army cannot, since they have already felt the crisis, they must take this opportunity to test the reality of the official army, and at the same time solve the ghosts of the official army behind.

"While the brigade is resting, we will now deal with the officers and soldiers behind us first, at least to ensure the safety of our side." Lu Shi said.

As soon as they heard that there was a battle, everyone immediately came to their senses, and now these generals and soldiers have completely lost their psychological shadow to the border army, and they think that beating them is just a more difficult thing than fighting some townspeople.

So everyone asked for the battle, and everyone competed for the lead.

"Don't make any noise, my commander has decided on this matter, I and Brother Zhao's cavalry have joined forces, and the rest of the people should hurry up and rest, and they will be on their way early tomorrow morning." Guo Tianxing took out his majesty and made the final decision.

The current captain of the Black Guard Brigade is Geng Kui, but as soon as the battle starts, Guo Tianxing will resolutely seize power, which makes the honest Geng Kui unspeakable.

Since the Grand Commander had spoken, no one dared to compete with him, and everyone kept their mouths shut.

At this time, Guo Tianxing turned to Lu Shi and said, "Strategist, is this arrangement feasible?" ”

"Very well, let's do it according to the arrangement of the Grand Commander." Lu Shi nodded, but immediately continued, "This time I mean to see the opportunity to cripple the rear team, since it is to solve the threat of the rear team, we have to go all out, I think it is better to increase the troops, so the spearmen must also go into battle." ”

Chen Ce stepped forward to support Lu Shidao: "The military advisor is right, even if the cavalry alone is victorious against the 7,000 officers and soldiers, it can only be defeated, and only the spearmen can cripple them and completely solve our worries." ”

"Then the military advisor will arrange it." Guo Tianxing also nodded in agreement.

As soon as they heard that the spearmen could also go into battle, those captains were eager to try, and they all wanted to make meritorious contributions in this war.

"Last time, the rear team fought hard and urgently needed to rest, this time I will send three teams from the front team to come forward, and the commander will take the newly incorporated Suide soldiers as a reserve team to postpone, and then let those newcomers see our strength formation, so as to integrate into our core strength as soon as possible."

When Guo Tianxing heard it, what Lu Shi said was reasonable, and he nodded at the time, so he reluctantly handed over the command of the Black Tiger Guard to Geng Kui.

"However, the commander-in-chief must pay attention to the fact that for the officers and troops behind, what we have adopted is to annihilate them in the field, once the officers and troops rely on the favorable terrain to hold on, and never attack, not only will we not be able to achieve our goal, but also may implicate time, this is what we cannot delay the most, and we cannot afford to lose."

Lu Shi knew that the army of the Ming Dynasty was as good at defense as the armies of various dynasties, and the ** squadron had reached the point of perfection in defense after thousands of years of accumulation.

"Don't worry, sir, I naturally saved this, I'm not stupid enough to that point." Guo Tianxing said with a big grin. Then he asked, "Does the gentleman have any other orders?" ”

"It's gone."

"Okay, then I'll go." Turned around and waved to Zhao Dahai, He Bin and the other younger brothers: "Let's go, we have started, and we have to cut off the tail behind us in half a day." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, and they all walked out after giving Lu Shi a salute.

Lu Shi looked at everyone's indifferent expression, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again and shook his head, it was too smooth sailing, it really couldn't train the army and train the generals.

Lu Shi waited for everyone to go away, turned to Zhao Xing and said, "Brother Zhao Xing, you immediately order the prison sergeant in your hand to open up thirty miles around us. After thinking about it, he said: "No, it's forty miles, the detailed sentinel investigates the enemy's situation, don't let go of any clues, now we have walked into an absolutely strange place, our eyes are black, and we can only work hard brothers." ”

"The sergeant can rest assured, the sergeant brother knows the severity and will not dare to say that he is hard."

"Also, it's best to find one or two guides in front of me, and I'm going to carefully inquire about the situation of the extension of Yanchuan in front, if the same situation as Qingjian occurs in Yanchuan, then it proves that my guess is right, and we will change the route of the march anyway."

Zhao Xing looked at Lu Shi for a long time, then sighed softly, didn't say anything, and turned around and went out after giving a salute.

Lu Shi knew why Zhao Xing sighed, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and continued to lie on the map, observing carefully, but now the map of this area is really shabby, so he no longer looks at it.

This fall, the original sleepiness is not good, but the tossing and turning is that the mind is restless, and I can't fall asleep, I don't know how long, I finally hazy to fall asleep, but I heard a hurried footsteps outside the door of the main hall, but when the footsteps came to Lu Shi, it seemed that he saw Lu Shi asleep, and he couldn't bear to disturb and stopped and hesitated, Lu Shi hurriedly opened his eyes and sat up, in front of him was Zhao Xing who went and returned, this must be an urgent matter report, so, Lu Shi asked while tidying up his clothes: " What's the matter? ”

Zhao Xing hesitated, but still said: "Just now, a sergeant brother came back from the front, and it was very common news to bring back, I don't know what the military advisor thinks." ”

Zhao Xing said this, which means that this situation makes him unsure, if it is really an ordinary thing, Zhao Xing will never give it to Lu Shi.

"Say it."

Zhao Xing groaned for a while, and when Lu Shi finished tidying up, he said in a low voice: "The brother in front sent back the news, and a large number of homeless people appeared in front of him, and they were rushing to us. ”

"What's going on?" Lu Shiyi was stunned and frowned and asked.

"The brother inquired, according to those homeless people, it was those officials and proud landlords who drove them over, and the government told them that in order to prevent the poles from sneaking into the city walls and fortresses, and we were joined by the inside and outside, they drove the homeless people who had been wandering all over the place, and at the same time, they also said to these homeless people, we have a lot of grain and grass in Woniu Mountain, and you are still a bodhisattva, as long as those homeless people come, they will definitely get relief from the military teacher."

Lu Shi immediately fell asleep, looked at Zhao Xing with wide eyes at that time, and asked again for a long time, "Did they really say that?" ”

"Yes."

"How many homeless people are there?"

"There are about four or five thousand, and many people are coming from far and wide when they hear that we can help them."

Lu Shi quickly walked around the halls a few times, then stood still, and said affirmatively: "This is a conspiracy, an absolute conspiracy." ”

"Please be a military advisor." Zhao Xing asked inexplicably.

"Since it is a rumor spread by the government, it is to drive the displaced people to join us, seize our psychology that we can't bear to see everyone starving, let our little grain and grass be consumed by these displaced people, and then let us fall into the predicament of cutting off food and grass." When he said this, Lu Shi couldn't help but sigh, "The enemy is really not stupid like a pig, there are capable people in the government." ”

When Lu Shi said this, Zhao Xing suddenly brightened, and his mouth opened wide in shock, and cold sweat instantly slipped down and soaked his back.

"Strategist, how can this be handled?"

At this time, the camp outside suddenly became chaotic with people shouting and horses.

Lu Shi looked outside, then spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do?" Dead ends. ”
