"Chief Officer Xu! There are a lot of full horses to find in the north! The brothers have already lost four of them! ”

Ergouzi, the captain of the military intelligence department who remained in Gu'an, stumbled in and hurriedly reported to Xu Fu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When leaving Gu'an, Wang Rui had an order, Xu Fu and Li Zhenghao each led the base camp in peacetime, and Xu Fu served as the commander-in-chief in wartime. Therefore, the discovery of a large number of military intelligence full of captives and horses was first reported to Xu Fu.

"A lot of ponies?" Xu Fu frowned. How many people can there be in this exploration horse? Hasn't this captivity been beaten by us yet? How easy do you dare to tease our tiger whiskers again?

"Probably more than five hundred! All of them are teams of more than ten people exploring horses, and their combat power is very strong. In front of these squads, it is difficult for the brothers to find more accurate information. After the second dog took a breath, he reported in detail.

"Withdraw our scouts first! Tanma is not allowed to go out shopping again. Xu Fu made a decision immediately.

"More than five hundred! More than five hundred! Xu Fu tapped lightly on the table, lost in thought.

According to the analysis of the previous battle with the Manchurians, there must be at least tens of thousands of Manchu troops who can dispatch more than 500 scouts. After thinking of this, Xu Fu couldn't help but tremble slightly, it seemed that the "thief chief Khan" who was full of captives had invested a lot of money to take revenge.

"Quick! Send me Master Li to come! After Xu Fu finished analyzing, he decided to ask Li Zhenghao to come over to discuss.

"Chief Officer Xu, there is a large army coming to sneak attack!" Li Zhenghao also happened to be rushing to the Yali of Gu'an County, so he met the herald on the way, so he quickly rushed over.

"Well, tell me what you think!" Xu Fu saw that Li Zhenghao also had his own thoughts, so he told him in detail about the military information he received, and wanted to hear his opinion by the way.

"There are more than 500 people in Manchu just to scout the horses, and the total number of troops who come to sneak attack will definitely not be less than 30,000. Our army has few soldiers and weak cavalry, so we will definitely not be able to go out of the city to fight. For now, the plan is to send a messenger to Beijing to report to the lord. At the same time, the city gates were closed and waiting for reinforcements. ”

Li Zhenghao frowned and thought about it, then replied seriously.

"Good idea. I'll add two more! First, immediately gather the young men in the city, distribute swords, guns and weapons, and begin training the organization. Gu'an City is not small, and if the Manchu attack from all sides at the same time, I am afraid that we will have all the troops. Second, it is necessary to collect all the grain in the city at once and implement a ration system. I don't know when we will come to help, so we must be prepared to wait for help and fight for a long time. ”

Xu Fu rolled his eyes and added two more to Li Zhenghao's idea.

"Lao Xu, I have no opinion on this first one. However, the second one may not work. These gentry and landlords all love money as much as their lives, how can they hand over the grain for unified management. Li Zhenghao felt that Xu Fu's idea was still a little inappropriate.

"Lao Li, do you remember what we were doing?" Xu Fu stared at Li Zhenghao and asked with a smile.

"Chief Officer Xu, what are you talking about! Why do you need to ask? We're soldiers! Li Zhenghao replied unhappily.

"Hehe, do you remember that we are soldiers, and we are holding knives and guns in our hands, not burning sticks! These landlords and gentry usually are unkind to the rich and oppress the people, so Lao Tzu endures it. At the time when the enemy is in the city, if there are still people who dare to play their own small calculations and ignore the safety of the people in the city, then Lao Tzu will be arrested and killed! By the way, the crime is to collude with the captives and donate the city with private funds. If you kill a few big families, you can save the people of Gu'an, this wicked man, Lao Tzu Xu Jianwei will do it today! ”

Xu Fu gritted his teeth and said hatefully. He was born in a poor peasant family in eastern Liaodong, and he had the most personal experience of the shamelessness of these landlords and gentry.

After the unification of opinions, the two men immediately summoned officers at all levels and arranged the combat arrangements. The Laizhou Army in Gu'an City was like a sophisticated war machine, rumbling into operation.

Li Zhenghao is not wrong, the landlords and gentry do not have any concept of the overall situation, and they only think about themselves all the time. Therefore, the matter of collecting grain from the whole city and distributing it in a unified quota is not going well.

Xu Fu quickly adjusted his strategy, starting with the largest family of gentry surnamed Gu. Gu Cheng, the head of the Gu family, was born as a jinshi in his early years, and served two terms as a magistrate in the local area, and later it was said that he offended the eunuch party and was idle at home.

Xu Fu first sent a trainer to visit Gu Cheng. The result was that not only did he not even see Gu Cheng's face, but he was finally beaten out by the Gu family's housekeeper. The reason is only that this instructor asked the Gu family to relieve the national crisis and hand over the grain to the Laizhou Army for centralized deployment.

The big housekeeper of the Gu family has always been arrogant and rampant in Gu'an, and after hearing what the instructor said, he immediately became angry: What? Vulgar martial artist, dare to blackmail the Gu family! Call Lao Tzu out!

It doesn't matter if he fights this one, he directly brings death to himself and the Gu family. After Xu Fu got the report, he immediately sent a team of 100 people to kill all the more than 50 members of the Gu family in the name of killing the traitors!

Yes, there must be innocent people in this, and the old and weak women and children of the Gu family are always irrelevant.

But this is wartime, who the fuck has time to tell the difference? Besides, if he doesn't kill them all, will he still keep his children and grandchildren talking nonsense in the future, spilling sewage for Lord Wang's glorious career?

When Lord Wang left Gu'an, he explained to Xu Fu: In case of major events, you must not hesitate to be soft-hearted. Xu Fu was originally a ruthless person, and after receiving Wang Rui's order, he had his own opinions when he encountered trouble.

The Gu family is indeed the richest man in Gu'an, and the amount of grain confiscated alone is more than 5,000 quintals. As for silver, there were as many as 30,000 taels.

In addition to transferring 1,000 taels for the food of the young people defending the city, Xu Fu also took out 10,000 taels of silver as the temporary military salary of the young people defending the city every day. In this way, all the human resources of the whole city were quickly mobilized.

Before the time of the day had passed, the gatekeeper came in to report again, saying that Murong Yu, the eldest son of a big family in the city, Murong Yu, asked to see him.

"This official is busy with military affairs, if Murong Gongzi has anything, you can say it bluntly!" Xu Fu stared at the map of Gu'an County, and spoke to Murong Yu who came to meet without raising his head.

"The general is refreshing, and this son is also a refreshing person! As the saying goes, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached. My Murong family is willing to donate 4,000 taels of grain and 10,000 taels of silver to help the general defend the city! Murong Yu said very chic shaking the feather fan.

"Ahh The refreshment of the Murong family startled Xu Fu a lot. Then he became proud, and it seemed that these landlords and gentry could not help but be frightened.

"Childe Gaoyi! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family to serve the country! Ben will thank the son on behalf of the people of the city! Xu Fu politely waved slightly, and at the same time motioned for Murong Yu to take a seat.

After all, the Laizhou Army is not a robber, and now that he has such knowledge and interest, and has the heart to serve the country, he naturally has to deal with it politely.

"The general is false! But this son has one condition. I don't know whether to talk about it or not? Murong Yu shook the feather fan coquettishly again, and looked at Xu Fudao with a smile.

"Childe, but it's okay to talk about it!" Xu Fu didn't like the turning and grinding of these literati the most, and immediately replied bluntly. I thought, what else can this Murong Gongzi ask for? I can't think of it.

"My son saw your army kill captives some time ago, and I admired it very much. Can I join your Laizhou Army and show my ambitions? Murong Yu arched his hand and pleaded.

"This, this ......" Can such a rich boy be a soldier of the Laizhou Army?
