Wang Lei understood the identity of the old man, but he was very calm and clear, the old man was the old man, he was him, and he couldn't generalize. Zhang Yan can ask the old man to be the commander of the Montenegrin Army, but it is impossible for him to submit to him because of the identity of the old man, and it is impossible for him to serve as the commander of the Montenegrin Army. Therefore, Wang Lei never mentioned the word "guishun", and mentioned the matter of 'cooperation' as soon as he came up, which could arouse Zhang Yan's interest and gain the right to speak for Wang Lei himself, otherwise he would not be able to speak at all.

The old man looked at Wang Lei with a smile and bowed his head slightly.

This kid is a man who understands.

Zhang Yan chuckled lightly twice, and said nonchalantly: "Wang County's order said cooperation, but I'm a little curious. Wang Xianling is an official, I, Zhang Yan, am a well-known bandit, you represent the imperial court, and I represent the overthrow of the imperial court. ”

"Haha......"

Wang Lei laughed and shook his head one after another.

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Mo Fei, Wang Xianling doesn't agree with my statement. ”

Bai Huan snorted, and said in a stiff tone: "Wang Xian Ling has something to say, let it go if there is a fart, don't sell it." Your style of conduct, commanding is disgusting. ”

Wang Lei was not angry, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Zhang Dashuai is a general of the Son of Heaven, and he has already returned to the imperial court. That being the case, Zhang Dashuai is not the Taiping Army of the past, even if it is known as the Black Mountain Army, it is also the Black Mountain Army of the imperial court, how can it be treated as if it was before? Both sides are members of the imperial court, so naturally there is room for cooperation. ”

He had a faint smile on his face, giving people an inexplicable confidence.

"What a young man!"

Zhang Yan exclaimed and said, "Real person, you have a junior who can speak well!" ”

The old man's face was bright, he stroked his beard, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Zhang Shuai praised, this unsuccessful thing is still far behind." There are only hundreds of soldiers under his command, and there are only one or two strategists, compared with Zhang Dashuai's pattern, it is too far behind. ”

Zhang Yan listened to this, but felt that there was something in the words, and he was not modest at all!

A few hundred people defeated him tens of thousands, is this an ordinary record? Zhang Yan turned her eyes, returned to Wang Lei's body, and said lightly: "Since Wang County Ling said cooperation, let's talk about the way of cooperation." ”

Wang Lei replied: "It's very simple, I help Zhang Shuai deal with his worries and solve the most difficult problems." And Zhang Dashuai ensured that Wuji County and Xinshi County would not be looted again, and when I needed it, Zhang Shuai would send troops to help me. ”

"Oh...... Wang Xianling really dares to mention it, the lion opens his mouth, it's like you. ”

He smiled coldly and didn't give a good face.

When it comes to the business of the Montenegrin Army, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to open the back door because Wang Lei is the identity of the old man's junior.

He is the commander of the Montenegrin army, and the interests of the Montenegrin army must be taken into account.

Wang Lei chuckled twice, shook his head and said: "What I said is not a lion's mouth at all, on the contrary, I chose the conditions that are unfavorable to me, and the conditions I offer are the most favorable to Zhang Shuai and the Montenegrin army." ”

"Sophistry!"

Zhang Yan looked unhappy and disdainful.

Wang Lei said lightly: "Zhang Shuai doesn't believe it, then I'll analyze and analyze Zhang Shuai!" ”

"Listen up!" Zhang Yan said.

Wang Lei took a deep breath and said slowly: "The so-called worries are actually the foundation of the Montenegrin Army. The Montenegrin army gathered in the mountains and forests, based on Zhongshan country, Changshan country, Shangdang, Hebei and other places, and was known as a million people. The number may not be so many, but I believe that there are hundreds of thousands of people, and among these hundreds of thousands of people, the elderly, weak, women and children must account for the majority, and the soldiers who are really subordinate to the army should be less than tenth, and the elite among the elite, I am afraid that there are less than 30,000 people, I don't know if I am right? ”

Zhang Yan snorted and did not answer positively.

Wang Lei had a smile on his face, Zhang Yan didn't explicitly object, then his inference was right.

After a slight pause, Wang Lei continued: "For the Montenegrin army, success is also a mountain forest, and defeat is also a mountain forest. In the past, the Taiping army gathered people to resist the imperial court and failed, and the Taiping army in various places was encircled and suppressed, and the Montenegrin army under Zhang Shuai was also encircled and suppressed. But countless old and weak women and children, as well as countless soldiers, have to eat, can they survive by hunting wild meat and eating wild fruits in the mountains and forests? Even if fertile land is cultivated in the mountains, it will not be able to feed hundreds of thousands of people, and it will be difficult to solve the fundamental problem. Therefore, because of the concentration of mountains and forests, it has become the biggest threat to the Montenegrin army. ”

Zhang Yan bowed slightly, looking at Wang Lei's gaze, no longer disdainful.

These words hit the soft underbelly of the Montenegrin army.

He's not a killer, and he doesn't really want to loot all the time. The reason why he often leads troops to loot is because the Montenegrin army has millions of people, and countless people have to fill their stomachs and survive. And he had no choice but to loot around with his soldiers to ensure that the Montenegrin Army could be maintained, and once the Montenegrin Army collapsed internally, he would lose the foundation on which he could stand.

Bai Huan's expression was serious, and he had already sat up straight.

The old man's eyes were full of brilliance, and he was relieved in his heart, this kid has really grown up.

Wang Lei became more and more calm, and said without hurry: "As the old saying goes, it is better to be sparse than blocked, the river continues to flow down, and the blockage cannot be blocked, even if it is temporarily blocked, but there will always be a day when it erupts, and what is encountered at that time is a monstrous flood, and it is difficult to stop it." At this time, the situation encountered by the Montenegrin army was like this, on the surface, millions of people were gathered, the momentum was impressive, and it seemed to be infinitely beautiful, but it was a city wall without foundation, and sooner or later it would collapse. Once the problem reaches the point where it is difficult to control, it will completely erupt, and Zhang Shuai will also face the greatest difficulties. ”

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and asked, "What is the solution to the Wang County Order?" ”

"It's on the road!"

Wang Lei was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he was waiting for this moment.

At this time, it was Wang Lei's chance to persuade Zhang Yan. Wang Lei looked serious and said: "It is better to block than to be sparse, to fundamentally solve the problem of the Montenegrin Army, in fact, to solve the problem of the old, weak, women and children of the Montenegrin Army." Let them be fed, and the problem is solved immediately. Zhang Shuai, what do you think of the Wuji County and Xinshi County that I control? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yan asked.

Wang Lei waved his sleeves and said: "Zhang Shuai can gradually move the old and weak women and children of the Black Mountain Army out of the mountains and forests, and let them settle in Wuji County and Xinshi County, as long as they are willing to reclaim farmland and live by farming, it is enough to ensure their livelihood." In this way, Zhang Shuai has no crisis of constraints, and his combat effectiveness is stronger. ”

Zhang Yan sneered and said, "Why don't I choose to capture Wuji County and Xinshi County?" ”

"Hah!"

With a sneer, Wang Lei shouted: "Stupid! ”

Zhang Yan had a straight face, very unhappy. He was a dignified commander of the Black Mountain Army, but he was reprimanded by Wang Lei, a small county commander, which was a great shame. But when I thought that my suggestion was denied, there must be something inappropriate, and my arrogance was extinguished.
