Meng Hai glanced at Zhang Hongsheng and knew that this person was Su Yi's henchman, and he didn't want to offend him, so he had to slow down and say: "The garrison of Shangjun County that day was only more than 10,000 people, and many officers and soldiers thought that we were the army of Liaodong, and because they were dissatisfied with Chen Hu's collusion with the Hu people, they did not contribute, and there were a number of powerful forces in Shangjun County to help us that day, so we were able to successfully take the granary and armory of the county seat." ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "If we are stationed in Shangjun County, we will take over all the affairs of the county, including finance and public security, and the officials of Shangjun County will also report the killing of Chen Hu to the state and county, and at that time, I am afraid that our identity will be revealed." ”

Zhang Hongsheng said disdainfully: "What about identity leakage? We sent a large army into the city, did a good job of defending the city, firmly controlled the finances of the county in our own hands, and blocked the news, and we were afraid that those officials would be able to turn against the sky? ”

Su Yi said: "In this way, the squires and heroes of Shangjun County will know that we are not the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, they can cooperate with us, get rid of Chen Hu, and may not be unable to cooperate with the officers and soldiers of Youzhou. ”

Zhang Hongsheng was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Su Yi, so he had to spill his anger on Meng Hai, "Can we only be a bandit in the Zongheng Mountain Range?" We have strength and weapons, even if the original Qingyun Village, the strength is small compared with the current Peach Blossom Village. ”

Zhang Hongsheng pinched a piece of jade pendant on his waist, and suddenly said with some interest: "The blade is not used, it is easy to rust, but if this blade is not used in a suitable place, it will also roll up. ”

Gao Heihu on the side also said: "This vertical and horizontal mountain range, the strength can be stronger than the Peach Blossom Village, even if it is my previous Qingfeng Village, the strength is far inferior to the current Peach Blossom Village." On that day, I went to Qingyun Village with my lord, and I saw a lot of owners of Dazhai, although Peach Blossom Village had some strength at that time, but they still couldn't do it, but now, the grass Kou in Mangdang Mountain is still the opponent of Peach Blossom Village. ”

Everyone is a little unwilling to waste time in the vertical and horizontal mountains.

Su Yi sighed, he knew that with the continuous expansion of the cottage power, his subordinates would become arrogant. It's just that although there are many soldiers and horses in the cottage, most of them are rabble, and compared with the real elite of the imperial court, they are still a lot worse.

What's more, in this year, the rebellion should also take advantage of the trend, although the court of Great Chu is worried about internal and external troubles, and the people's grievances are boiling, but the officials and troops in various parts of the Great Chu have not openly broken with the imperial court, and there has been no scene of warlord secession.

"Although the imperial court is **, but the people of the world still regard the Great Chu court as orthodox, we are unpopular with the army, without the help of the local squires and powerful forces, even if the city is conquered, it will be isolated and helpless."

Su Yi continued: "The most critical point is that we need supplies to fight a war, we did plunder a batch of grain and grass from Shangjun County, and there are a lot of materials stored in the cottage, but once they are put into the war, these stored materials will not last long at all. Without follow-up supplies, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and fighting a war is not just a matter of numbers, weapons and armor need to be repaired, arrows need to be replenished after they are consumed, and food and cloth will run out one day, what should we do then? ”

Zhang Hongsheng lowered his head and said softly: "Feed the war with war, every time we capture a city, we have food and other materials to replenish. ”

Su Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Really? What can you do if I am the officer and soldier defending the city, and then I come to clear the wilderness, or if the granary and armory are burned down when the city is broken? Feeding war with war? It's easier said than done. The method adopted by the Hu people against the Han people was to use war to feed the war, but could they gain a foothold in the Central Plains? They can't even get in Liaodong. ”

"If the officers and soldiers burn down the granary, we can plunder the people!" Li Goudan, who had just returned to the past, shouted, "There is nothing wrong with raising war with war, as long as the king is willing and the small one is willing to be the vanguard, I am not afraid that those peasants will not obediently hand over the grain." ”

Meng Hai sneered and said, "People's hearts are turned back, what is the difference between doing this and those rogues?" ”

Li Goudan suddenly stood up, pointed at Meng Hai and scolded: "Who are you scolding for being a rogue?" ”

A vicious glint flashed in Meng Hai's eyes, and he turned his head away, ignoring Li Goudan.

"Enough!" Su Yi slapped on the desk in front of him and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done step by step, and the plan for today is to first take the South Wasteland, and then take the Yongji Canal from the hands of the Hu people, and there will be several vicious battles in it. After taking the Yongji Canal, we also need to recruit displaced people to cultivate the fertile land, and then take the Chifeng Ridge, and we are bound to win the iron mine. ”

Su Yi didn't want to go on on this issue any longer, so he changed the topic and asked, "How is that Lu Feng?" ”

As soon as Gao Heihu heard Lu Feng's name, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he roared: "This kid still has some skills, but since he was brought back to the cottage by us, he has been clamoring and scolding us for being traitors and grass cowards, and he has to die or live these days." ”

"Let's go!" Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Take me to see." ”

Zhang Hongsheng immediately stood up and said: "If you don't hand him over to me, within three days, I guarantee that he will cry and shout to surrender Peach Blossom Village." ”

Su Yi shook his head, and said with a little crying and laughing: "This person was originally an official soldier, even if you torture him, you may not be able to force him to give up his position as a military attache and surrender to the cottage, or let me go and see it myself, if this person insists on not surrendering, then I can only fulfill his name of loyalty." ”

When Su Yi left, he saw that Scar and others had different expressions, knowing that there were too many differences among his subordinates in the future direction of Peach Blossom Village, Scar was born in the border army, and in his heart, he didn't want to fight against the Great Chu court, he was a conservative, and he just wanted to guard the one acre and three points of land in the cottage and live a plundering life with wine and meat.

And Zhang Hongsheng and other radicals are different, they are not willing to hide in the vertical and horizontal mountains to live a life of eating and waiting for death, and since the Taohuazhai has been growing recently, there are more and more soldiers and horses, the radicals led by Zhang Hongsheng began to be arrogant and arrogant, thinking that the soldiers and horses of the cottage are enough to dominate the vertical and horizontal mountains, but they are not interested in the vertical and horizontal mountains, they are interested in fighting for the world.

Especially Gao Heihu and Qian Leopard, these two people were originally the owners of a big village, and later lost the battle with the green shirt thieves, only to fall into the vertical and horizontal mountains, in their opinion, even if the peach blossom village develops and grows, it is the original level of Qingfeng Village, even if it exceeds the scale of Qingfeng Village, it can be stronger than the White Tiger Village?

Among these people, only Meng Hai remained sober, Meng Hai was different from the conservatives such as Scar and Liu Shisan, he was not willing to be just a bandit and grass coward, but also knew that if he rebelled at this time, he would not escape the fate of being destroyed.
