On 10 February, after four days of arduous trekking, Zhu Pingjin finally arrived in Renshou County with 3,000 captives.

Renshou County is the resettlement place for Caobiao's relatives, and Zhu Pingjin specially announced that the caravan would be given a day off to reunite the soldiers with their families, which caused cheers from the soldiers. The 3,000 captives were also taken over by Liu Lian's officers and soldiers of the left guard of the palace, and they were sent to various wangzhuang to serve their labor.

The Yu family garden near the Ya of Renshou County, the main family is said to be the descendant of Yu Yunwen, a famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. This is the largest and most luxurious private garden in Renshou County, after Zhang Xianzhong, not a living person was found, so it was temporarily opened up by Li Chongwen and Liu Hongting to become Zhu Pingjian's palace.

Zhu Pingjin was in the Yujia Garden, and he didn't want to meet Sun Hong, who had returned from the buyer. After Sun Hong left Bifeng Gorge, he went all the way north to Chengdu Mansion, who knew that not long after Qiongzhou, he encountered a small group of rebels on the road. For Sun Hong's safety, Wang Erniu, who was guarding him, and the two soldiers of the special service platoon were not allowed to continue to move forward. Sun Hong is a scholar, and he is carrying silver on his body, how dare he leave the guards?

So Sun Hong had no choice but to turn west, pass through Xinjin County, and arrive at Longquan Mountain. At this time, more and more of them encountered the rebels coming down from the north, so they had to continue to hide in the southwest, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and finally came to Jianzhou on the shore of the Tuojiang River. He bought people in Jianzhou and sent them to Renshou County, where Li Chongwen was located, for temporary refuge. As a result, as soon as he arrived on the front foot, Zhu Pingjin arrived on the back foot.

The day after arriving in Renshou County, Zhu Pingjin got up early in the morning and hurried to inspect his army. The one who leads the army, the army is his life. If you are greedy for pleasure, you will have to give up your life sooner or later.

"What is the quality of the soldiers?" Zhu Pingjin asked Sun Hong as he walked.

"It's no worse than the ones bought in the Dongmen market, they are all selected by the students one by one." Sun Hong has been running for these days, his body has lost weight, and his face has darkened. It can be seen that he has suffered a lot on the road.

"There were a total of 400 people, half of whom were bought by the local market, and half were slender men recruited by the water wharf, and they all signed a contract of sale. The price is cheaper than Chengdu. Some people heard that the palace bought slaves, and they said that as long as they were full, they didn't want any money. It's just that the news of Renshou's division of land has already reached Jianzhou, so there are too many family members accompanying him, and there are 1,500 or 600 family members in 400 strong men. They don't need to be escorted, they all come by themselves. If it weren't for the students' ruthless efforts to clean up the people who pretended to be family members, there would have been one or two thousand more.

This time, the students didn't have enough money, and they couldn't buy much rice if they bought them. They were all hungry people who had been hungry for a long time, and seventeen of them died on the way to Renshou, and they were all so hungry that they collapsed and died as they walked. We arrived at Renshou last night and finally had a full meal. It's not easy for Brother Chongwen here, he is already running out of food, and he squeezes out a little food to feed them. Yesterday afternoon, General Song and Brother Guoping came to ask for someone, and the students have handed them all over to ......"

"Mr. Sun has worked hard this time! The caravan was victorious in Yazhou, and the morale of the team was high. With this group of 400 people, the army can be expanded, which must make General Song happy! While comforting Sun Hong, Zhu Pingjin quickened his pace and walked towards the temporary military camp in the northeast of the city.

The temporary barracks of the caravan were set up in the northeast corner of Renshou County, which was the hardest hit area.

When Zhang Xianzhong evacuated, a fire burned several bustling streets here to the ground. Fortunately, the fire did not spread that day, otherwise the whole city of Renshou would have been destroyed. While waiting for food, Li Chongwen asked tens of thousands of refugees to work together to demolish all the burned houses here, leaving a barren dam. It's just that due to the rush of time, the demolition is not clean. When Zhu Pingjin arrived, there were still some ruins of large houses standing on the edge of the empty dam, reluctantly revealing the charred gables, which stood out in the cold wind of the early morning.

Zhu Pingjin and his entourage walked to the temporary playground where the caravan was training, and inspected the group of new generation grass signs from a distance. When they appeared, they looked much better than the previous ones: they took a big shower last night, cut their hair, changed into new gray and white winter clothes from top to bottom, and received spears and knives. Just from the appearance, it has a feeling of being reborn. Now they are practicing walking on the left and right under the command of Song Zhenzong.

Shu Guoping came up and gave a military salute and asked for instructions on how to distribute these people. Zhu Pingjin didn't think about it, and immediately made a decision: "The recruits will step up training for two days!" Those who have practiced well will be organized into the fourth platoon of each company tomorrow and will go to the battlefield the day after tomorrow! The rest were incorporated into the newly formed Sixth Company and remained in Renshou to continue training. The riots are rampant, and we will leave the city the day after tomorrow at the latest, looking for the enemy to fight! ”

"You can't train good soldiers on the playground, why don't you send them all to see blood?" A soft Wu Yueguan sentence came from the mouth of the woman behind Zhu Pingjin.

Zhu Pingjin turned around, and it turned out to be Liu Hongting, who was accompanying him. Li Chongwen was busy distributing the families of the recruits today, and he was also ordered to compile the experience of Renshou County in dividing fields and land into a book, and preparing to exchange them with Yazhou and other places, so he took leave from Zhu Pingjin and was accompanied by Miss Liu to inspect the area.

In his submission, Mr. Li praised Ms. Liu as a strange woman. The big drum on Black Dragon Beach scared away 5,000 bandits. Now that the situation in Renshou County can be stabilized again, Miss Liu's contribution is in Sheji! ”

After listening to Zhu Pingjian's praise, Miss Liu did not show the smile she deserved. She just said coldly: "Female streamers, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the eyes of the adults in the court." The little woman can do something under the command of the prince, and the prince is also broad-minded and eclectic in employing people. ”

It seems that this woman has a strong personality and has no good impression of the imperial court. Zhu Pingjin then said with a straight face: "Miss Liu has a saying that recruits see blood, and there must be truth in it, so you might as well talk about it." ”

Liu Hongting blessed again: "When the prince goes to find the enemy, he must use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, feint to attack Niujiaozhai, wait for the bandits to come back, and ambush and annihilate the thieves halfway." ”

Zhu Pingjin said with a smile: "This son is the bandit who wants to fight Niujiaozhai. Miss Liu is really a female Zhuge also, and she can guess eight or nine without leaving ten. ”

Eight or nine is not far from ten, it is one or two wrong. Miss Liu was very smart and immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Pingjian's words. She then asked why.

Zhu Pingjin didn't answer, he smiled at Shu Guoping, so Shu Guoping stepped forward and explained: "The key to military science is to occupy the key points in the overall situation. Niujiaozhai controls the two avenues from Renshou County to Chengdu Mansion and Jianzhou, and threatens Wangzhuang in Shuangliu and Renshou counties from time to time, which is a nail that must be pulled. It just so happened that the main force of the bandits had already arrived in Pengshan, and our army should fight with one blow and overcome it. So we are not feinting, but real! ”

Shu Guoping was dressed in military uniform, heroic and handsome, standing in front of Liu Hongting and talking eloquently, which suddenly made her spring tide surge. Ms. Lau is over 20 years old and has never had a major event in her life. Although Li Chongwen is a little stupid, he is upright and a good partner to marry. However, a few days ago, she made it clear that Li Chongwen married a wife and had children a few years ago, so he had to secretly die of a thief's heart. Now there is a handsome guy in front of him, disturbing Liu Hongting's heart and cheeks.

She forced her mind to return to business, and asked, "The little woman dares to ask General Shu, even if she takes this Niujiaozhai, she still has to miss a few bandits and let them run to report the news, right?" Otherwise, how could they lure back the bandits and ambush them halfway? ”

Zhu Pingjin laughed. Shu Guoping didn't laugh, he patiently explained: "Miss Liu guessed half right again. Naturally, our army wanted to lure back the bandits, but not to ambush them halfway, but to set up a dignified formation and find a wide place to engage them head-on. ”

In the event of a war, it is inevitable that the less you will lose, the better. When the bandits return to their nests, they are very likely to cross the Longquan Mountains nearby. The Longquan Mountains are high and deep, with good conditions for ambushes, so why find a wide place to fight a costly head-to-head duel? Shu Guoping's words were beyond Liu Hongting's cognition, and she showed a puzzled look.

Seeing that Miss Liu didn't understand, Shu Guoping continued to explain: "We didn't go to defeat these bandits. We must quell the civil unrest, only by defeating the bandits can we deter the small thieves in the middle of the river, which is called killing chickens and showing monkeys. Bandits are chickens, and rioters are monkeys. When we put ourselves in a grand formation, we are ......"

Liu Hongting listened to Shu Guoping's explanation, and she completely understood in her heart. She was annoyed that her IQ had suddenly dropped, and it was close to Xiaolan's level, was it really because she had love in her heart?

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but blush on her face, but she was misunderstood by Shu Guoping. Shu Guoping thought that Miss Liu had lost her ugly face in front of the prince, so she blushed with shame and indignation, and quickly stopped talking, looking a little cramped.

Shu Guoping is a first-time brother in love, and it is normal to not understand the thoughts of his daughter's family. There are great changes in the family, and I'm afraid he hasn't thought much about men and women. Among the people present, I am afraid that only Zhu Pingjin and Sun Hong can see some clues.

What does it mean for a woman to face a handsome guy with a look that she wants to see but doesn't dare to look at, and her face is still red? Zhu Pingjin, a careful old guy, had some dirty thoughts, he snickered in his heart, but said to Liu Hongting with a serious face: "Miss Liu hasn't explained the reason for sending recruits to the battle battle, please teach me bluntly." ”

Zhu Pingjin's words made Liu Hongting suddenly come back to her senses. She organized her thoughts and slowly expressed her thoughts.

It turned out that Miss Liu inquired and understood that not long after the ambush of Zhang Guangzu, the first bandit of Niujiaozhai failed last time, she learned that the white-clothed soldiers from Renshou County were just women. He was furious and ashamed, and went around threatening to take revenge sooner or later. Miss Liu originally wanted to take advantage of this trick to repeat the trick, and used a team of women to pretend to besiege Niujiaozhai, and the caravan was ambushed halfway. After the bandits were defeated, the caravan would turn back and take Niujiaozhai. There were a lot of people in Niujiaozhai, but the main force went to Pengshan County. There are only a few dozen Ding Zhuang in the village, and the rest are women, children, old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is very limited, so they can be decided in a battle.

Needless to say, if Zhu Pingjin's main target was bandits, Miss Liu's strategy was perfect. However, in Zhu Pingjin's strategy of countering the rebellion, bandits are only tactical targets, not strategic targets, so this method cannot be adopted. In addition, the army first ambushed in Longquan Mountain, and then attacked the village, moving back and forth, which required high physical strength. These recruits are not rigorously trained, and their physical recovery is limited, so they may not be able to keep up with the plan.

Miss Liu's strategy made Zhu Pingjin fall into thinking, and also made Shu Guoping reconsider what was feasible. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said, "Shizi, I want to change the battle plan." Let the new recruits act as the soldiers who lure the enemy, wear plain clothes to show their form, and the first, second, third companies and toast soldiers wear old clothes and are invisible. When the bandit leader sees it, he will attack desperately. In this way, I can destroy all the thieves. ”

Zhu Pingjin thought about it and said with a smile: "Mr. Shu's plan is very good. However, since Miss Liu found out that the bandits in Niujiaozhai were weak, it was better to divide the troops and take Niujiaozhai first! ”

When Miss Liu heard that Shizi had finally partially adopted her plan, she hurriedly said happily:

"To take Niujiaozhai, you don't need a labor army, Miss Ben's domestic servant is enough!"
