Knowing Li Ming's identity, the atmosphere in the army suddenly changed 180 degrees. Su Yun and Yuan Fang's attitudes directly changed from hostility to intimacy, and they even wanted to write the word 'worship' on their faces.

Not only the two of them, but also the other soldiers no longer underestimated the army of Huiji County, and the relationship between the two sides quickly began to warm up.

The role of fame was quickly brought into play here, so that Li Ming really began to pay attention to it. No wonder the Chen family would rather not go out of office than go to the Ten Standing Servants, why would Wang Yun rather wait for death than give in? Even if you get glory and wealth, you will eventually lose your reputation!

Li Ming now has a faint tendency to become the head of the coalition army, at least Shi Chong and Wang Yu have him as the main officer.

Li Ming was also not polite, and looked directly at Shi Chong and asked, "How is the situation of the thief?" ”

Seeing Li Ming's inquiry, Shi Chong immediately replied: "The thief was originally a Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but he suddenly went south for some reason some time ago. And with the Taishan thief, Xuzhou Yellow Turban converged, from Xiapi County into Guangling County, and finally crossed the river in Dantu County.

Two days ago, the Yellow Turban Thieves captured Qu'a County, but it was at this time that there seemed to be disagreements. Just yesterday, the Yellow Turban thieves divided into two routes, heading towards Biling and Yangxian respectively. As for why the troops were divided, it is unknown! ”

Li Ming looked at the map, according to the results of their discussion, the Yellow Turban Thieves must take the road of Biling, because this side is all plains, at most a little hilly, the key is that this is still the most prosperous place in Wu County, and the population is more. By taking this road, the Yellow Turban Thieves can not only get a steady stream of supplies, but also be able to coerce more people.

Relatively speaking, to go to Yangxian, you have to bypass Zhenze, the flooded area of Zhenze is larger than later generations, it is not easy to detour, but from Yangxian to Wucheng County, you can go directly to Yuhang and Qiantang, and then you can enter Huiji County. At the same time, in the area of Wucheng, you can also quickly enter Guyan County, and then enter Danyang County.

Although the thieves did not enter Jurong from Dantu and then began to march towards Danyang County, no one could guarantee that they would not enter Danyang County through Guyan County, because the Danyang County guard attached great importance to the situation of the thief army.

However, when he heard that the thieves actually entered Guangling County from Xiapi Country to the south, Li Ming was still a little worried, and the Chen and Lu clans were there, and he didn't know what the result was. Chen Qi, Chen Deng, and Lu Su's grandmother are still there.

"What is the approximate strength of the two armies?" Li Ming continued to ask.

"I don't know yet, I only know that there are quite a lot of people who go to the neighborhood, not to mention more than 100,000, on the contrary, there are not many people who go to Yangxian, only tens of thousands! However, judging from the elite troops, the troops that went to Yangxian were all elites, and most of them were young men and women; The hundreds of thousands of troops who went to the adjacent area, although the number was large, but the old and weak were mixed in, and the soldiers were afraid that there were less than 30,000! Shi Chong replied.

"50,000 elite soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, Riyao, what are you going to do?" Wang Yu looked at Li Ming.

"Tell me what you think!" Li Ming is not a dictator, or he doesn't have any ideas, so he simply dumps the blame.

Wang Yu and Shi Chong did not speak, their combined army was only 15,000, and the battle army was only 12,000. Since it is a local army, most of the equipment is mainly leather armor, and the equipment situation is similar to that of the Yellow Turban Thief. Before the certainty of victory, it is not easy for the two to speak casually.

"Why don't I throw bricks and lead the way!" Xi Zhicai walked out, "Now the two bandit armies, the fastest of which is estimated to arrive in Yangxian tomorrow, although there are mountains blocking it, it will definitely be much faster than going to the adjacent one, we must not be on guard; But the slower ones should not be ignored, otherwise they will continue to raid the place, and the team will grow further, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will become. ”

It's not just that it's difficult to deal with, if they really capture Wu County, the four major families will definitely be angry with him, Li Ming couldn't help but think.

"Things aren't that bad either! There are continuous mountains in the southwest of Yangxian, and if the other party wants to go south, they will either make a detour to Guyan County, and then enter Wucheng County. Otherwise......" Xi Zhicai pointed to the map, "go straight through this mountain range!" They are elite troops, and they are separated from the big army, but they are afraid that they will not have much baggage, and after defeating Yangxian, they are afraid that they will go directly here to the south! ”

Li Ming looked at the map, only to find that on this map, there was actually a path in the middle of the mountain range!

"What's going on with this trail?" Li Ming looked at Shi Chong.

"This should be a trade route opened by merchants, and it is too far to go to Yangxian from Guxiang County, so the merchants of Wucheng and Yangxian have spent a lot of time opening this trade route to facilitate trade!" Shi Chong also knew a little about the situation here, so he immediately replied.

"Give me the Yue troops, two thousand is enough, and I will let us have no return!" Wang Yu said excitedly, "By the way, the arrows can't be missing me!" ”

"Two thousand, isn't it too reluctant?" Shi Chong suddenly felt that this plan was a bit whimsical.

"All the three thousand are given to you, if you can win, you can win, and if you can't win, you have to hold them for ten days, okay?" Li Ming looked at Wang Yu, and then turned his head to look at Shi Chong, "Lieutenant Shi took five thousand people from his headquarters to set up an ambush at the exit, and if the thieves broke through, they would immediately attack, how about it?" ”

"Good!" Wang Yu was the first to speak, and Shi Chong thought about it carefully, so he also responded.

"As for my side, immediately move to Wu County and cooperate with the local defenders to defend! At the same time, Lieutenant Shijun, please say to Taishou, all the reinforcements who came later, directly in the rear towards the thief army heading to Wu County, and when the time comes, the front and back will be attacked, why worry about the thieves not being destroyed? Li Ming finally made a decision.

"Wait, there are only 5,000 soldiers left, how do you deal with these more than 100,000 thieves?" Shi Chong immediately became worried.

"When will reinforcements arrive? You are close to Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and the information of the reinforcements should know faster than us! Li Ming looked at Shi Chong.

"Jiujiang County has already sent five thousand reinforcements to Jurong, and I can send someone to contact them immediately. As for Lujiang, I heard that Lu Taishou only defeated Jiangxia Man this year, so he only sent 3,000 soldiers to support this time. Calculate the time, it should have entered the territory of Danyang County! Shi Chong replied.

"Now that I've arrived, I have nothing to fear. We fight in the front, let them wait for the opportunity to fight in the back, if we can't even do this, then when we return victorious, I will definitely join them! Li Ming's gaze suddenly became a lot sharper, and the killing intent was even released, and the temperature of the camp seemed to drop by several degrees in an instant.

"I don't need an adult to come forward for this, I must also join them!" Shi Chong patted his chest and said, Li Ming is under absolute pressure in front, and the other party doesn't even do it when he picks up cheap in the back, even he can't see this kind of behavior.

"Well, time is running out, since it has been decided, then act immediately tomorrow!" Li Ming said immediately.

"Why don't you take a break for a day or two?" Shi Chong was a little surprised, it is said that generally the two armies will meet, at least they must have a good relationship, besides, Li Ming came from afar, the soldiers are tired, how can he fight without resting for two days?

"Wang Yuhui will stay, as for my side, I will rest when I get to Wu County!" Li Ming shook his head, there was no need to socialize or anything, and he was not used to this.

"In this way, I wish you a triumphant return!" Shi Chong was not pretentious, and said solemnly and resolutely.

"If you can triumph, you will definitely have a drink with Captain Shijun!" Li Ming laughed.
