According to the Qi family's art of war, Zhou Ji sent a convincing reconnaissance of the enemy, and the henchmen reported after making up and reconnoitring, in front of themselves, the thieves only had five hundred garrisons in Chenjiabao, led by a military man named Guangwu, and what was even more gratifying was that those garrisons were all born in Suide Ding, not to mention whether they could use their prestige, the righteousness of the imperial court recruited them, those who originally signed their own Ding, they knew in their hearts, and their combat effectiveness would not be much stronger than their current subordinates, one thousand against five hundred, and they should also have a certain victory, What's more, isn't it a sneak attack, is it a surprise victory?

At the same time, he discussed with Qianhu and decided that he would lead his troops to sneak not far from Chenjiabao first, and wait for the official army on the side of the Black Tiger Village to start fighting, and Chenjiabao must be panicked.

Since everything is in his own calculations, that is, the victory is in his hands, so he calculated the date, and Zhou Ji set off on the school field.

This expedition, also in accordance with the art of war, hide your whereabouts, do not ostentatiously pass through the city, and fire artillery that should be, but there is no whole vigorous one, only said that it is the same as usual, the army went out to practice, and then Zhou Ji County Zun personally supervised the team, with a thousand elite soldiers directly drilled the ravine, and quietly killed Chenjiabao.

Zhou Ji made a thousand calculations, but forgot to count the problem of Li Yuanhao's drinking and misconduct, and there was no concise communication at that time, when he sneaked to the periphery of Chenjiabao, he did not see the news of the general soldier's attack on the Black Tiger Village, and he could only starve and freeze here.

Zhou Ji stomped his feet and stretched his neck from time to time to look at the quiet Chen Jiabao, and scolded in his heart, if this continues, don't start a war, Zhou Ji and the others will be frozen to death here.

To fight or not to fight? This is a problem, and it is not mentioned in the military book.

Sending troops is a big deal, and this is not to be sloppy, especially when the literati supervise the army, it must be done carefully according to Zhou Li and the people.

Zhou Ji put on the armor of the governor's reward, stood on the platform, quite a civil and military all-rounder, stroked his beard, looked at the master and county Cheng with satisfaction, in accordance with Zhou Ji yesterday's survey of Zhou Li's various steps, the implementation of the grand ceremony, for this grand ceremony, Zhou Ji, the county respecter who is sympathetic to the people, deliberately spent money, sold a ploughing cow, to be used for this sacrifice flag, to the heavens, do not dare to lack the number of courtesies.

Looking at the generals under the stage, the serious and neat soldiers of the thousands of households were in charge of the high-morale signatories, and they were infinitely satisfied.

Zhou Ji saw the strength of the thieves last time, but he was more willing to believe in his heart that it was all caused by Zhou Ji's hasty dispatch of troops by the bastard Qianhu, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Ji, a Confucian general who was both civil and military, but this time it was different, Zhou Ji not only studied the art of war of General Qi Da, but also conducted three months of complete training for these Ding Junhan, and also issued an attractive reward, with training, excellent equipment, and a rich reward, that will definitely inspire the infinite courage of Ding Junhan, at that time, Are you still afraid of being a thief?

In saying that, this time it is the remittance of several large armies, the main force is the deputy general soldier, as well as Luochuan, Ganquan's thousand households, and the most important thing is that there is Zhang Yuan Yiyong, who is desperate, they can attract a large team of thieves, and the rest must be a small share, that week and then implement the Qi family's art of war, come to a surprise victory, and go straight to the so-called base area, how can you not win?

Well, by the way, before strengthening his own strength, along the way, he also asked the Yanchuan Qingjian Thousand Households to raise troops together, to relieve the worries of Long Life, to calm the chaos in Shanxi, and to return the land of Shaanxi to peace.

was thinking about it, and suddenly Zhou Ji's cloak was pulled violently, and Zhou Ji, who was outside the gods, was pulled back to reality.

Zhou Ji looked back dissatisfied, but Qianhu was standing behind him with an embarrassed face, looking anxious, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhou Ji was very unhappy, and complained in a low voice: "The dignified court general, when he is going out for the grand ceremony, in front of tens of millions of soldiers and elders, can't he say it honestly?" ”

was robbed by Zhou Ji, and the thousand households were even more embarrassed, and they couldn't understand it for a long time with a red face. Originally, martial artists were consciously inferior in front of literati, let alone in front of this upright and capable literati? Although the county respects Zhou Ji with a pleasant face in normal times, since he took charge of the army as a literati, his bearing has become more and more afraid to let people look at him directly.

Duty, this is the inferiority of duty cultivated from the bones.

"Say it quickly." Zhou Ji frowned and shouted.

Seeing that the adults were angry, the county priest hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "The scalper who sacrifices the flag has no strength to slaughter." Zhou Ji heard this, and his head buzzed a few times louder.

There is no "sharp weapon" to kill cattle? Isn't this exactly the embarrassment that Inspector Yang Hao encountered before the Battle of Salhu? Three knives killed the cattle of the sacrificial flag, and the result was that the knife was broken and the cow did not die, but Lord Yang jumped down and picked up the sword of the emperor Qin to kill the cow, although the morale of the army was greatly lost, and hundreds of thousands of elite Ming troops were wiped out in the first battle of Sallu, could it be that this matter also rushed to Zhou Ji's head today?

That's right, it was the Donglin Party who was in the wind and rain, reading, and the country and family affairs, but at that time, they cared about everything, and they cared about how to make it more fake than fake money in advance, and forced counterfeit money dealers to go bankrupt in real money business and scientific and technological research.

Whoever handles it will make money, no matter what kind of money it is. Whether it is military spending or disaster relief funds, practice is indispensable.

The army goes to the armory to receive equipment, and the practice is to pay one-tenth of the market value, otherwise it will not receive the equipment. Therefore, except for the generals who kept the family members who fled for their lives, the other armies were in tatters.

Even so, the weapon maintenance is not done well, the helmet is rusty, and it is pulled down with some paint. As a result, the Ming Dynasty general Jun Song was killed by a first-class arrow in the head on the battlefield, the army was defeated, and more than 100,000 people were reimbursed. In hindsight, the helmet was patched with lacquer when it was rusted. Juniper and hundreds of thousands of troops died, no one took responsibility, and no one cared about this helmet issue at all......

What's even funnier is that in the cattle killing ceremony before the expedition, the cow was not killed even after changing three knives! Inspector Yang Hao was furious, took out Shang Fang's sword to kill him, and finally succeeded in killing the cow!

This is the Battle of Sarhu.

Zhou Ji was heartbroken at the same time, but also knew that this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to go out on the expedition, so he took the governor's hand to transfer the ordnance, and personally rushed to the treasury with the silver money to withdraw it, and then paid the extra money, loss, door, etc., Zhou Ji received all genuine good things, how-

Thinking of this, the eyes stared fiercely at the thousand households shrunk behind him, could it be that this thing dared to talk about the resale of ordnance to poles or local rich and powerful when the war was about to break out, as usual? That is what he did to die.

When Zhou Ji looked at Lord Qianhu with knife-like eyes, Qianhu felt that the two sharp swords were directly inserted into Zhou Ji's heart, and the cold sweat came down all of a sudden, and he was even more speechless.

When the county Cheng saw it, he knew that the county respected him had misunderstood, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Qianhu defend and said: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, Qianhu didn't use that batch of ordnance at all, what I'm talking about is that the wizard we invited according to Zhou Li is old and doesn't have the strength to kill cattle." ”

"Sharp weapons? Strength? Zhou Ji was very confused, and quickly turned his head to look at the venue of the cattle killing flag, and suddenly realized after seeing it.

According to the Zhou rites, the cattle slaughtering and sacrificial flags are not a few soldiers with big swords and axes to go up and chop them for a while, it is to be carried out after the senior wizards and warlocks worship the god of heaven and earth.

Although as a disciple of Confucius, he pays attention to not setting up ghosts and gods, but Confucius is also the most respectful of Zhou Li, and Zhou Ji is of course chasing whom, so this time he went out to sacrifice the flag and invited the most famous great god wizard in the county to preside.

Look at it now, the wizard is indeed senior, the problem is that he is too senior, he is nearly seventy years old, he walks tremblingly, and he can fall without anyone to help him, but in Zhouji County, he sincerely invited, the most important thing is to see the two stones of white rice brought by the county lord, and he enthusiastically went out of the mountain and took on the heavy responsibility.

As a result, after some procedures, the physical strength was obviously exhausted, and it was difficult to carry out the last sacred ox killing link, not only that, but it made the tied ploughing ox roll all over the ground, embarrassed, and a bright sword was thrown to the unknown place. Tell a farce about a good and sacred event that makes the audience laugh, during which those military men stomp their feet and shout, whistling all over the sky.

Zhou Jileng's half moment, when he was furious, pulled out the sword on his waist, rushed down the platform in one step, rushed to the cattle killing field, brandished the sword, and with the help of several wrestlers, he finally completed the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

Came to Jiangtai again, raised the sword, originally wanted to be impassioned and boost morale, but the mood was dissipated by this farce, the sword was facing the sky, and after thinking for a long time, he said ruthlessly, helplessly: "Okay, let's go." ”

So the army said goodbye to their fathers and elders in bursts of laughter, and went out of the city gates.

Passing by Qingjian, not to mention the county order to supply grain and grass, the gate was not opened, only a small official was sent out of the city, politely Yu Zhouji said: "My proprietor is in poor health, and he can no longer see things, my granary has been eaten by the border army when the thieves were not handed over to the thieves last time, and the border army has starved to death rats, so in addition to offering a magnificent poem, I really can't help." According to the rules, when the army goes out, it must supply grain and grass along the way, but Zhou Ji also knows that the counties along the way are difficult to protect themselves, and secondly, he has a surplus in his hands when he is trading here, so it is no longer difficult for his colleagues.

Of course, I laughed at the magnificent poem, and gave a poem in return. The literati love this tune.

Holding Zhou Ji's return poem, the evaluation of Qingjian County Order is - eventful.

When the army arrived in Yanchuan, the Yanchuan County Commander came out to greet him with a sad face, and Zhou Ji did not enter the city, so he went to the river again, and begged the Yanchuan County Commander to send troops to meet together to exterminate the thieves.

The gift Zhou Ji was far away, and the Yanchuan County Commander couldn't help but sigh - hold the ground.

This is also the truth, Zhou Ji will no longer force it, and the army will continue to move forward.
