After a few days of greasy life with his little wife. Liu Ye was pushed out of the room by his virtuous little wife. In the words of the little wife, as a wise lord, you should not stay in the backyard all the time.

Although Liu Ye was a little depressed, he was still quite happy. Liu Ye's main thing at present is to defeat the "Nanshan Bandits", so the first thing Liu Ye did when he left the backyard was to gather his ministers and hold a temple calculation.

War is a gradual process, both in ancient times and in modern times. It's not like in costume dramas, when the emperor gives an order, and then the two generals go up with their own soldiers to cut each other, which is called a brawl, not a war.

Before every war, a lot of time is needed to prepare for battle. Whether it is the hoarding of grain, horses, weapons and armor, or the mobilization of soldiers, it takes a lot of time. The larger the army, the more time there is for mobilization. The more time you have to prepare. An army of hundreds of thousands even needs to be ready for several years.

Of course, the nomads in the north are faster, because they don't need to prepare so many supplies, and their supplies are all by grabbing, and they only need to mobilize. And the nomads are good at horses because everyone. The speed of mobilization is also much faster than that of the agrarian people. This is why nomads tend to have the initiative over agrarian dynasties.

And now Liu Ye is holding the most important temple calculation before the war, a bit similar to the pre-war meeting in later generations.

Compared with yesterday's public meeting, there are fewer people attending the temple today. Mainly military attachés. Under the guidance of a certain traverser, the civil and military officials under his command gradually separated, and there was already a difference between civil and military.

"Zuo Sima, tell me about your deployment plan for the Zanhua Division!" (Praise the painting division Xixiang set, a bit similar to the staff of later generations, praise painting is the staff officer, Zuo Sima can also be called praise painting chief.) )

"No!"

"Lord, everyone, this time to attack the Nanshan bandits, we must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots."

"The Nanshan thieves are the head of the "three thieves", but eight months ago, I was equal to the Nanshan thieves in the Battle of Guishan, not only killed the old thieves, but also beheaded more than 100 people, captured more than 200 people, and the Nanshan thieves escaped only thirty or fifty. It can be said that the Nanshan thieves have been greatly damaged. ”

"This time, the Nanshan thieves used Zhuli as bait and wanted to ambush us, but the old Nanshan thieves had been exhausted in the Battle of Guishan, and the new thieves were not good. If the thief wants to succeed in the ambush, he will dump all the thieves available to the thieves in the South Mountain. At least four hundred are currently predicted. ”

"So many, the last time the Nanshan thief led someone to attack, it was only this number. Now the Nanshan thieves still have this strength. Xu Ji couldn't help but ask.

"Chief Xu Tun, please listen to what I say," Xiahou Wen said a little unhappily.

"I'm sorry, Zuo Sima" After Xu Ji saw that Xiahou Wen's face was a little unsightly, he immediately became cowardly, after all, in a sense, Xu Ji was Xiahou Wen's subordinate. Although Xiahou Wen could not mobilize him.

"The combat power of the Nanshan thieves is not strong, and the old thief is not our opponent, let alone the new thief. Therefore, in order to make up for the poor combat power, this time the thief must choose a dangerous place to ambush. ”

"From Saigo to Takeri, although there are many places that are convenient for ambushes. But there are not many dangerous places. Three days ago, a certain had asked Captain Luan to send scouts to pretend to be Orion to go out to investigate. So far, it has been found that only Erhujian is the most suitable."

"Erhu Stream is located between two mountains, both of which are relatively steep and not conducive to climbing. And there are trees on the top of the mountain, so the strange rocks are easy to hide. If the Nanshan thieves take advantage of the time when we wait to enter the stream, they will block the mouth of the stream. Then they threw stones and arrows from the mountains, and we were powerless to fight back. It is even possible that the whole army will be wiped out. There are also two tiger streams that we must pass through to go to Zhuli. ”

"Uh-huh! Are there any specific plans? Liu Ye asked.

"This time, I praise the painting department after many drills, in order to achieve the purpose of defeating the Nanshan bandits, as well as to prevent the emergence of other situations. We are waiting for this crusade against the Nanshan bandits. It is necessary to assemble four tun soldiers, of which three tun is Xixiangli and one tun is the Xishan guard. At the same time, it is also necessary to assemble the Tuntian soldiers in the two nearby towns of Xixiangli as auxiliary troops. The two towns need to gather at least ten gangs. Plus the longbow team, the white-robed guards, and the scout team. In this crusade against the Nanshan bandits, we should gather 500 troops. ”

After speaking, Xiahou Wen also raised one palm and five fingers.

"Five hundred, that's many."

"Oh my God, I've never gathered so many people."

"Yes! Oh, yes! Last year, there were only more than 300 Nanshan pirates defeated. So much this time."

……

As soon as Xiahou Wen's words were finished, the people below began to discuss. Except for the last time Liu Ye went out to transport grain, more than 400 people were mobilized. There had never been such a large army in the whole of Saigo.

As for our protagonist Liu Ye, look at a group of hillbilly-like subordinates below. Liu Ye blushed a little. It is estimated that if it were other traversers, there would be no more than 100,000 under his command now, but tens of thousands. Like him, he has not moved more than five hundred people. Liu Ye felt that he had lost the face of the traverser.

"Zuo Sima, are there too many people on this expedition?"

It was Yang Yang, the chief administrator of government affairs, who spoke. In accordance with the reward system established by Saigo, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the army. As long as you participate in the war, you will get some rewards after the war. Victory or defeat, the reward of more than 500 people will not be less. Taking out so much at once, Yang Yang was a little distressed.

"No, it's not much. Soldiers pay attention to not thinking about victory, and think about defeat first. In addition, we should also mobilize the remaining two towns in Xixiang as reserves. At the same time, the two towns guarding the West Mountain should also be mobilized to prevent the Fox Mountain bandits and the green forest bandits from attacking. ”

"But that's too much!" Yang Yang was still a little reluctant.

"Yang Gong, if you can exterminate the Nanshan thieves this time, what is the reward for a little bit?" Liu Ye said after guessing Yang Yang's thoughts. After all, you can't expect a horse to run and not give it grazing.

"No", the lord has spoken, what else does he insist on?

"Zuo Sima, continue".

"In this operation, the whole army was divided into three divisions. First of all, with the Tuntian pawns, plus a small number of longbow soldiers, the scout team was the first part, pretending to be the main force to set off during the day to attract the attention of the Nanshan bandit scouts. However, the number of people should not be too large, so as not to scare away the Nanshan bandits, and the scouts must also clean up the scouts of the Nanshan bandits, and in addition, the first part of the march cannot be fast. The second is the military guards, as well as most of the longbowmen, and the white-robed guards. Set off at night and secretly go to Lianghujian. After the first part arrives, it attracts the attention of the Nanshan bandits, and the second part attacks from behind, making sure to destroy the Nanshan bandits. The third part is the remaining military pawns, Tuntian pawns. Finally, they set off again, mainly responsible for transporting grain and ordnance, as well as some siege equipment, if the attack failed, or after defeating the Nanshan bandits, the remnants of the Nanshan bandits continued to resist stubbornly in the old lair. We will launch a siege and annihilate the Nanshan bandits in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, this method is very good," Liu Ye praised.

The crowd sitting below also applauded.

"That being the case, act in this way. Is there anything else you'd like to add? Liu Ye said again.

"The lord is the king, and the minister has it." Liu Ming, who was sitting next to Yang Yang, said.

"Say"

"No"

"In this battle, the terrain is mainly mountainous and jungle, which is not conducive to the play of spears. The minister suggested that the spear be replaced with a broken spear, and that the spear throwers be increased." Liu Mingdao.

"But" Liu Ye thought for a while and felt that this suggestion was good, so he agreed.

"Anything else?"

"Lord Lord, what should I do with Zhuli after the war?" Liu Ming asked.

"What else can I do? Kill its leader, and the rest are reduced to tuntian slaves. A martial arts commander couldn't help but say. His suggestion was also pandered to by many people. Obviously, everyone's impression of Takesato is not particularly good.

"Quiet, this matter has its own plans."

"In this battle, you must go all out, and this monarch will destroy the Nanshan thieves in one battle."

"No".
