Liu Renyu walked into the big tent with Liu Wuguo, and then Liu Renyu implored Liu Wuguo to sit in the middle.

"Brother, you are a guerrilla, and your humble position is a garrison, and this time you went south to ask for thieves and asked your brother to preside over the overall situation." Liu Renyu pleaded.

"Hey, don't, how good I am, I know very well, you can just watch the war, I listen to you." Liu Wuguo said with a grin.

"Guerrillas, listen to the guards, this is not a system." Liu Renyu said with a difficult face.

"There are only two brothers and you and me in the army of the South Road, and there is not even a prison army, how can anyone say anything irrelevant. Hey, okay, okay, don't say any more, just sit in the center, and I'll sit on your left hand. After Liu Wuguo finished speaking, he didn't care whether Liu Renyu agreed or not, so he took a horse and put it on the left hand side of the chair where the big tent master was sitting, and then sat down.

"In that case, the lowly position will be done according to my brother's wishes." Seeing that Liu Wuguo was willing to give up command, Liu Renyu sat down on his chair very happily.

"That's right, we are all martial artists, let's do things more neatly, don't fix those false courtesies, you are still good at fighting, even if I listen to you, the soldiers are convinced." Liu Wuguo replied.

"Hehe, I know it, so wait for my subordinates to arrive, and then draw up a strategy." Liu Renyu said.

"Well, then just wait." Liu Wuguo responded.

The two waited for a while, and Liu Renjie, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Ma Wenshan and others all came together.

Everyone entered the tent, raised their eyes, and found that Liu Wuguo, a guerrilla general, was actually sitting next to his own general, and this scene inevitably made everyone a little puzzled.

Liu Renyu saw that everyone looked a little puzzled, he immediately coughed and reminded: "What's the matter, why is it still rude when you see General Liu?" Is this the rule that subordinates should have? ”

When everyone heard Liu Renyu's reminder, they realized that they had lost their temper, and they hurriedly bowed down and said, "I've seen General Liu at a low level." ”

"That's it." Liu Wuguo waved his hand.

"Today I went to Hongjunmen to discuss the strategy of the thief, and the Hongjunmen sent General Liu and me to the south to crusade against the thieves in Yan'an and Suide, so General Liu came to us to discuss the specific strategy of entering the army, which means that General Liu is our friend." Liu Renyu introduced.

"As your general said, Hong Junmen ordered us to go south together to fight for thieves. These two roads of soldiers and horses must always have a unified command, I heard that you have even killed Jiannu Bayala, needless to say that it must be extremely powerful, so I pondered that our two groups of men and horses should listen to the dispatch of your general. Liu Wuguo was afraid that Liu Renyu would not be able to describe his style, so he simply said it himself.

However, as soon as Liu Wuguo's words praising the Jingbian Fort Army came out, in addition to removing the doubts in everyone's hearts, it also made everyone a little proud.

Among them, Yang Desheng and Zhang Tieniu were the most obvious, and their faces were full of smug expressions of "you fucking true knowledge".

And although Ma Wenshan and Liu Renjie tried their best to suppress it, they were still a little proud.

When Liu Renyu heard this, he immediately said a few polite words to Liu Wuguo, and Liu Wuguo would also say a few kind words, so the two generals of the Liu family praised each other again.

When this nonsensical behavior of wearing high hats to each other was over, Liu Renyu said with a straight face: "Take the map and explain the enemy situation to General Liu." ”

"Yes, sir." When Liu Renjie received the order, he called for the help of several heralds outside the tent, unfolded a huge map rolled into a cylinder, and hung it on the wooden pillar of the big tent.

As soon as the map was unfolded, Liu Wuguo glanced up. After seeing this look, he couldn't help but shout: "Wow! ”。

This shout startled everyone around them.

After Liu Wuguo finished shouting, he jumped up from Mazha, approached the map, and said in amazement as he touched it: "Hey, I said, Brother Xian, your map is really good, the drawing is so clear, it is in the Ministry of War, I'm afraid there is no such a fine map, where did you get it." ”

Hearing Liu Wuguo's admiration, Liu Renyu secretly said proudly: "That's nature, this is the map of China I downloaded on my mobile phone, and the satellite is drawn according to it, and it is not fine." I was going to use it when I traveled in the future, but I didn't want to cross it, but it's good, and it can be used for marching and fighting. ”

However, he replied: "I sent out the night scout horseman, as well as Danqing's skillful hands, to survey around, and then on the basis of my original map of the Ming Dynasty, it took a year to produce such a map with Taixi's skills." ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect that there would be this craft in a place where Tessie couldn't eat enough food!" Liu Wuguo was amazed.

"How did my brother know that the people over there can't eat enough?" Liu Renyu was puzzled.

"Don't you know, Guangdong, Fujian, I heard that there are a lot of red-haired ghosts from Taixi who are pirates, you said that if the family is too poor to eat, who will leave their hometown and come out to be a thief, right?" Liu Wuguo explained.

"That's what my brother said." Regarding Liu Wuguo's god-like logic, Liu Renyu didn't want to refute it, so he could only reply like this.

"Okay, I've seen this rare map too, so tell me about the thieves." Liu Wuguo's amazement at the map didn't last a minute before it vanished, and he turned to care about the situation of the enemy army.

"Renjie, speak." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, sir." When Liu Renjie got the order, he held the push rod in his hand, pointed to Yan'an, Yanchuan, Yanchang, Ansai, and Anding, and said: "Wang Zuohang, Miao Mei, Wang Zishun, Zhang Shusheng, and Ji San'er are killing and plundering in this area, and there are more than 10,000 thieves. ”

Then he moved the putter down again, pointing to Heshui, Qingyang, and Yanzhou: "In these places, there are Li Laochai, lone wolves and other thieves killing and plundering, and there are more than 10,000 thieves. This group is very close to our Yansui, and it is possible to go north at any time, so the humble officials specially probed their situation. ”

"More than 10,000 people is an approximate number, there must be many old and weak women and children in it, let's talk about how many core real thieves are among the thieves?" Liu Wuguo asked.

"Yes, General Liu, we have not found out the number of real thieves among the thieves, so we can only speculate that the number of real thieves should be about 20%." Liu Renjie replied.

"If there are only 20%, then there are only about 2,000 people, and our 1,000 regular army will definitely be able to kill them all over the field." Liu Wuguo said with confidence.

"What my brother said is that our 1,000 regular army is enough to sweep away the thieves, but Hong Junmen said that we should appease the thieves first, and the thieves will be appeased if they refuse, so we can let go and kill them." Liu Renyu reminded.

"It's really troublesome, Yang Zhishuai is in a high position, how can he understand how difficult it is for the people below us to do things. Brother Xian, how do you say to appease it? Liu Wuguo sighed.

"This Yang Zhishuai actually has a trick, his old man asked someone to write a notice of Zhao'an, and then went to the village, town, fort, and village to post it everywhere, hoping that those thieves could see the sincerity of the court, but unfortunately this trick is not very smart." When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly stopped.

"Why not?" Liu Wuguo asked.

"Because thieves can't read it." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"Haha." Liu Wuguo laughed.

Think about it, how can there be a scholar who comes out to be a thief, so a bunch of big bosses can't understand what the notice says at all.

"Yang Zhishuai's move is actually quite good, we can learn from it, but we have to change the method." Liu Renyu said again.

"How?"

"Some of my artists are good at Danqing and clever brushwork, so I let them draw comic books and post them in the villages and towns, even if the thieves don't know a single big word, they can always understand the comic books."

"It's a good idea."

"Let's draw the yamen at the end of the comic strip, which means that they will go to the yamen to recruit An, what about us, we will send people to send liaison personnel in various states and counties, and when the thieves want to go to Zhaoan, we will supervise it, brother, what do you think?"

"I'll see it."

"If the thieves still refuse to be appeased when they see Zhao'an's comic strips, then we can focus on killing."

"Well, that's good. Zhao'an's strategy has been decided, so how to conquer, can the virtuous brother have a plan? ”

"I said the law, my brother thought it would be successful, so he did as I said, and if he didn't think it would work, he asked my brother to come up with ideas."

"Tell me about it."

"There are many thieves, but they are more scattered, our department can send more sentinels to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and when they encounter one, they will chase and kill one, or annihilate, or surrender, you can do it. Speaking of which, I would like to ask my brother, do you ride all your soldiers and horses? It's all cavalry, and it's more convenient to hunt down thieves. ”

"I have more than 200 cavalry under my command, and the rest are infantry."

"Then dare to ask my brother how the soldiers and horses are performing?"

"We are on the border, and we often have to fight against the Beiyu, of course, we will practice all the time, and my subordinates are quite diligent in the exercises."

"Dare to ask my brother, how many days will your subordinates perform a drill?"

When Liu Wuguo heard this question, he didn't answer it immediately, he raised a finger with great pride.

"My brother really governs the army very strictly, and he actually performs once a day, and he bows to his duties." Liu Renyu admired.

"Once a day!? Who can stand it, let's drill once every ten days, this can be regarded as an extremely frequent drill. Liu Wuguo corrected.

"Sure enough, he was very diligent." Liu Renyu was very disapproving, but he said so.

"I'm very good at acting, and some people, hehe, it's good to have a drill once a month." Liu Wuguo complained.

"I know. Then tomorrow's army will be launched, and I will ask my brother to lead the cavalry and our men and horses to the south first, and your infantry can escort the grain and grass, and then follow up. ”

"Grain and grass? How can there be grain and grass to be escorted? Hong Junmen sent ten days of food to our army, and after the expedition, it was natural that we could eat in various states and counties, so there was no grain and grass to be escorted. ”

"Now that there is a continuous drought in Yansui and there is no harvest in summer and autumn, how can the local government have food for us?"

"If you don't have it, you have to give it, let's appease the place, and the local people won't even give us a bowl of food, so how can it work." Liu Wuguo said a little unhappily.

"If the local civil officials refuse to supply grain and grass, dare to ask my brother, what will you do?"

"This!?" Liu Wuguo wanted to say that the soldiers were looting, but thinking of Hong Chengchou's power, he didn't dare to do so, so he could only freeze and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Liu Wuguo's situation, Liu Renyu comforted him: "Brother, please be relieved, you have enough grain and grass with your humble position, if you are not enough food and grass when you are fighting outside, brother, you can withdraw it from your humble position." ”

"Seriously!?" Liu Wuguo was surprised.

"Seriously." Liu Renyu said firmly.

"Brother Xian is really, really my blessed general." Liu Wuguo said with emotion.

"My brother laughed, let's go south to beg for thieves this time, it is really the same spirit, one is prosperous, one is lost, and to provide convenience for my brother is to provide convenience for myself. Do you say? ”

"It's good, it's good. Today, I came here to discuss the strategy of entering the army, which is really fruitful, so I will go back to prepare for the good students, and we will see you on the school tomorrow. After Liu Wuguo finished speaking, he wanted to say goodbye to Liu Renyu.

"Congratulations to the General." Liu Renyu hurriedly took several of his military attaches to bow down to say goodbye.

Liu Wuguo waved his hand, with a smile on his face, and walked out of the tent happily.

When Liu Wuguo walked away, Yang Desheng frowned and said: "Once in ten days, it is said that it is extremely frequent, and it is expected that this general's subordinates will not be very effective. ”

"It's better to have a friendly army than no friendly army, our four hundred soldiers are too few, plus their people, a thousand soldiers, the combat effectiveness is stronger, and we can also have a response."

"My lord, we don't have much food with us, how can we distribute it to them again." Zhang Tieniu said dissatisfied.

"Didn't we bring the silver, we just went to buy food." Liu Renyu replied.

"Why do you have to pay your own money to buy food for the imperial court?" Zhang Tieniu was still dissatisfied.

"Why do you talk so much? I don't like to fight, so let me go back to training. Liu Renyu said impatiently.

"Don't talk about it anymore." Zhang Tieniu saw that Liu Renyu was angry, so he stopped talking, but the anger on his face was still strong.

"Okay, don't say it anymore, it's useless to talk more, it's better to kill the enemy with sincerity and make more meritorious contributions. Now you all go back and prepare for your life, and set out tomorrow to exterminate the thieves. Liu Renyu said solemnly.

"Yes, sir." Everyone said yes and went out of their tents.
