Because of the advance for the upcoming war, Lu Shi and the others had already made military and ideological preparations, so all the generals who could participate in the war this time gathered in Qianzhai.

When Lu Shi and Zhao Xing arrived at the Qianzhai Hall, the other people had already arrived, and they were talking in the hall and waiting for Lu Shi's arrival.

Lu Shi dismounted outside the hall, and everyone came out to salute. Lu Shi smiled and returned the salute one by one, then walked into the hall, found a seat according to the size of his position, and waited for Lu Shi to speak.

After Lu Shi glanced at the brothers, he said with a smile; "The big war is coming, why don't you see everyone a little nervous? Could it be that they are all confident? ”

"What's so stressful about this." Guo Tianxing said with a relaxed face; "It's not me bragging, this time Zhang Yuan's kid came to die by himself, and he can't blame others for it."

This is not that the stars are too big, with the current combat power of the Black Tiger Army, they are really not afraid of the attack of thousands of people and horses in this Zhang Yuan.

"In fact, this time, everyone is still training and building a base as usual, and the horse team of me and Dalang's nephew alone is completely covered." Guo Tianxing is full of confidence. That look was almost triumphant.

"The Grand Commander must not." Li Li of the Black Tigers stood up; "The Great Commander is supposed to sit in the cottage and guide the overall situation with the king, where can he easily go to the battlefield? It's okay for me and the first team of Brother Sun to go to this matter, but it's just to ask Da Lang's nephew to make some efforts when he chases with a hundred cavalry brothers. ”

As soon as the words fell, the captains of the seventh and eighth teams immediately stood up and said loudly together; "King Chuang, the last few times my brothers fought and got the credit, our brothers are trapped in the cottage and have nothing to do, if you still want our brothers to guard the village this time, then our brothers will be." But there is no way to come out.

The captain of the eighth team jumped out with a tiger leap and said; "Our brothers blocked the gate of the village, and no one wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, and some people burst into tears, and even used this child's idea to fight for merit, which shows how urgent the heart is to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

"It's against you boys, and you're still fighting with me one by one, do you still think I'm the commander? Come, come, come, twenty lashes await. "Guo Tianxing jumped up with a black face, and he was about to do it with his arms and sleeves, and the four captains did not show weakness, and resisted loudly with a red face; What's the matter with the Grand Commander, the Grand Commander also has to talk about the principles of military law, everything must be fair, you can't eat alone, I will disobey the order today, twenty whips, come on, come on, as long as I am allowed to wait on the battlefield, it will be another twenty lashes. ”

Lu Shi just smiled and looked at these brothers who were competing for tasks like cockfighting, and there was a mist in his eyes when he looked closely.

When Geng Kui saw it, he hurriedly pulled the placket of Tianxing's shirt towards Lu Shinunu's mouth, and Guotianxing immediately understood, and at that time he raised his arms high; "Don't be noisy, there are thousands of people in the family, and one person in charge will listen to the arrangement and distribution of King Chuang."

Everyone stopped together and said one after another; "Yes, King Chuang is the fairest, and King Chuang is in charge."

Lu Shi looked at everyone's momentum to compete for the task, and sighed infinitely in his heart, if this was seen by other cottage leaders, wouldn't he envy them to death? Lu Shi was very pleased with the change in the essence of the Black Tiger Army, and at the same time saw the unity and progress of the brothers, and when he felt that everyone was looking at him, he took his thoughts and spoke.

"The enthusiasm of the brothers to compete for the task is exciting, we must have such a spirit, with such a spirit, where can we not go in the world?" was praised by Lu Shiyi, and everyone held their chests higher.

"However, the brothers have forgotten a major event, so blindly grabbing the task has become a reckless behavior, the task cannot be completed, the credit cannot be established, and the brothers have to fail, isn't it a sinner?"

Everyone was stunned, and Guo Tianxing and Li Li bowed; "I don't know how to say this, please make it clear to King Chuang."

Lu Shi said solemnly: "The art of war, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, now I ask you, how is the enemy's marching formation, how many men and horses, how many infantry troops and how many horses, where are they coming from, where to pass during this period, where can they be blocked, where can they be ambushed, and what is the speed of the enemy's march?" Where to shoot, where to camp, how many scouts can be sent? Do you have siege engines with you? And so on and so forth. Which can answer me. ”

Everyone patronized and grabbed the task, but they really didn't expect these things, and they were speechless when asked.

Wu Tao stood up with a laugh, walked to the large map hanging on the wall, and said to everyone; "The question raised by King Chuang is good, where the enemy comes from is very critical, from Yan'an to our Qianzhai, there are two roads to go, one is the main road, through Ganquan and Fuxian, this road is flat and suitable for the movement of the army, and the transportation of baggage. However, this road is more than 300 miles long, and normally speaking, it takes eight days for the officers and soldiers to march 40 miles a day. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

"There is also to take Nanniwan, through the trapped Dragon Valley, this is a straight road, the cavalry can reach our front village in four days without baggage. If you don't know the enemy's marching routes, how do you choose the matchup? According to the convention, you choose the big road, but others take the small road, then it becomes you take yours and I walk mine, but you squatted there, but people copied our nest. Brothers, is there any point in such a war? Impulsiveness and enthusiasm cannot solve the problem, and only by fully grasping the enemy's movements can we truly win all battles and be invincible. ”

Lu Shi smiled and said: "Wu Junshi is right, you blindly compete for the credit of the mission, but you forget the most fundamental enemy situation, as the leader of the mistake, is the blood and lives of millions of brothers, it is not to be taken lightly!" Therefore, as a general, we must be able to despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, and try our best to analyze all the enemy's affairs thoroughly. Seeing that everyone was a little depressed by what they said, Lu Shi smiled and said: "Don't be so depressed, it's okay to be enthusiastic, but you have to be down-to-earth, now let's Zhao Xing's brothers introduce Zhang Yuan's entire strength and methods of sending troops, everyone will publish more and think more." ”

Boss Lu hurriedly stood up and saluted everyone.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "Brothers are hard, the important brothers in the cottage are here, please tell everyone about the situation of Zhang Yuan and Li Yuanhao that you have mastered."

Lu Squad said solemnly: "Report to King Chuang and the leaders, now Zhang Yuan recruits 3,000 people from the township, and recruits a thousand other landlords by virtue of his relationship, with his own relatives and the children of the Chen family of the Zhao family as officers at all levels, a total of 4,100 soldiers, this part is nominally under the command of Li Yuanhao, but Li Yuanhao does not look down on these villagers, and has always thought that these villagers are just a rabble who are used to raise their banners, and more importantly, these Zhang Yuan's relatives and brothers do not take Li Yuanhao very seriously, and there are many discords in ordinary times, If it weren't for Zhang Yuan's bullet pressing, he wouldn't have hit his head and bled a lot. ”

Lu Shi nodded and said; "The observation is good, let's talk about Li Yuanhao?"

"Although Li Yuanhao is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, he is a pickled goods with developed limbs and a simple brain, so he is not a problem."

Lu Shi was interested in this statement of his own family; "Oh? I don't know how you have this evaluation of him, brother. ”

"Back to King Chuang, things are very understandable, going into battle to fight was originally a matter of small soldiers and junior officers, and the officer achieved Li Yuanhao's position, it should be the duty of dispatching in the army, taking care of the whole army or attacking or defending or reinforcing the advance and retreat, but he lost his duty to compete with the soldiers and junior officers, and left the commander of the army aside, so as the deputy general of a party, he only gave him a thousand troops, and never let him lead the troops independently, I think this is the key to it."

"Okay, Brother Lu is reasonable, if the two armies are facing each other and rush into the enemy formation with a shout as the commander, and kill themselves happily, but leave thousands of troops and horses behind, then what do you want the commander of the army to do? He simply went to be a small soldier, and the province dragged tens of millions of brothers to die with him. Besides, what soldier is willing to follow his boss who is always robbing him of his own credit? With such a person, where can he still have his own future, won't he have no future. As he spoke, he looked at the stars with narrow eyes. Guo Tianxing knew that Lu Shi was talking about himself, and his old face turned red at that time and he muttered in a low voice; "Impulsive, haha, impulsive." Everyone laughed together.

"Okay, let's listen to Brother Lu about this Li Yuanhao."

"Although this Li Yuanhao is a rough man, he is quite addicted to officials, and he has been very angry in the position of deputy chief soldier for several years, this time the government really did not have a general to lead the troops, so he pushed this Liao Hua to the forefront, and Li Yuanhao was not happy, he thought that we were just a rabble, thinking that it was not a matter of exterminating us that we were not able to capture, this was his first time leading the army independently, and he wanted to show his ability, so he decided to only take his own soldiers to attack us this morning, Before the other officers and troops and the village warriors converged, he made great achievements and ascended to the position. “

"I don't know how many soldiers Li Yuanhao has under him? What equipment? How is the combat effectiveness? ”

"This soldier is a thousand, the cavalry of Qingyishui is a rare strong soldier in the Ming army in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, these soldiers are Li Yuanhao's descendants, and when the battle array is dangerous, they are willing to fight hard for Li Yuanhao."

Lu Shi nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "Are you sure that Li Yuanhao will lead the army alone?" Just this morning? Lu Shi looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and it was better to make a decision early. Everyone nodded yes, but saw Captain Nalu smile and speak; "King Chuang is not busy, Li Yuanhao's gang will not be able to send troops today, and it is not too late for everyone to discuss slowly."

"How?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves inexplicably, Captain Lu didn't dare to sell Guanzi; "That Li Yuanhao and his subordinates are good drinkers, yesterday I went to my restaurant to eat, my subordinate Mr. Li was wise, and touched some special good things on Li Yuanhao's wine bowl, I think he is still drunk at home now. Li Yuanhao, as the commander of this attack, who would dare to send troops without his warrant? So they will send their troops early tomorrow morning at the earliest. ”

Guo Tianxing slapped his thigh and praised; "Brother Lu is a good method, but why did he only let Li Yuanhao's guy get drunk and not wake up?"

Chen Che said with a smile; "If one person is drunk and unconscious, he is indeed drunk, but everyone is drunk, and that is the problem." It dawned on everyone.

Captain Lu saw that everyone had cast appreciative glances at him, and said busily; "I didn't come up with this method, it was Mr. Li who came up with it. Mr. Li is talented, it's a pity to put him under my hands, so please ask King Chuang to consider transferring him to a more important department. ”

Lu Shi smiled and nodded; "Yes, this time he has made a contribution, and there will be promotions according to his merits."

"My subordinates are here to thank King Chuang for Mr. Li, King Chuang has other things to look for, and if there are no subordinates, I will leave."

"Brother is hard, go down and rest first."

Captain Lu gave everyone a salute and strode out.

Lu Shi turned his head and smiled and asked for Guo Tianxing's opinion; "How does the Grand Commander see this battle fight?"

Guo Tianxing stood up and said; "King Chuang, I think we can give him a break?"

Lu Shi and Wu Tao both looked at Black Tiger Star in surprise, "Why did the Great Commander change his sex?" Got your own opinion? ”

Seeing that both of them looked at themselves in surprise, they were a little apprehensive, so they whispered again; "Is there anything wrong? Otherwise, it's better to let King Chuang decide with his words. ”

At that time, Lu Shi and Wu Tao were completely deflated.
