Although Meng Hai had ill intentions, he was outstanding after all, and Su Yi needed him to help him formulate a battle plan. When it came to taking the Southern Barren Forest, Su Yi saw his ability.

"I led people to attack the Hu people village in Yongji Canal before, those Hu people will definitely take more precautions against this side of the South Wilderness Forest, if you want the army to cross the South Wilderness Forest to attack Yongji Canal, it will be difficult." Speaking of this, Meng Hai also frowned, and then sighed and said: "I blame me for not thinking about the sneak attack on the Hu people's village, which made them vigilant. ”

Zhang Hongsheng stood aside and was silent, hearing the conversation between Su Yi and Meng Hai, he felt more and more that he was not taken seriously, and just now he complained to Su Yi in front of Meng Hai, thinking that he could take this opportunity to suppress Meng Hai's arrogance, but he didn't know that he himself became the one who was slapped in the face, and at this time a huge sense of shame surged in his heart, but Zhang Hongsheng tried to restrain his emotions.

Seeing this, Su Yi asked Zhang Hongsheng, "Hongsheng, how many centaurs do we have in the Southern Barren Forest?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng raised his head slightly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and the whole person's spirit seemed to improve all of a sudden, and he suddenly realized that he was not useless in Su Yi's heart, at least he was responsible for the housekeeping of all sizes in Taohua Village.

"Back to the lord's words, we have deployed 10,000 soldiers and horses in the southern wilderness forest, but the Hu tribe on the other side of Yongji Canal has a large number, the number is far more than 10,000, I asked He Kui to find out the specific number of Hu people on the other side of Yongji Canal, but it is a pity that He Kui sacrificed several nights and did not collect, and still did not find out the number of people on the other side."

Su Yi looked at him and said, "Let He Kui not have to send Ye Bu to inquire about the news, there are too many Hu tribes in Yongji Canal, and the forces in that place are mixed, and the Hu people are constantly fighting each other, and it is difficult for the Han people to get into it." Continuing to send people to find out the news is only sacrificing human lives in vain, and it will not do much effect. ”

"But ......" Zhang Hongsheng said with some concern: "But we don't know how many Hu people there are in Yongjiqu, how to take precautions, even if we strike first and send troops to Yongjiqu first, then we have to know the deployment of the other party's troops!" ”

Su Yi shook his head and said, "There's no time." We need to do it as soon as possible. ”

Meng Hai pondered for a while, and said: "But now it is a little difficult to sneak attack Yongji Canal, after that sneak attack on the Hu people's village, I sent a team of archers to touch the Southern Wilderness Forest, but unfortunately they were shot by the Hu people's archers as soon as they came out of the Southern Wilderness Forest. ”

Su Yi glanced at Zhang Hongsheng and said, "You go and call Zhou Fei and Zhang Huan in first." ”

Zhang Hongsheng replied and then turned to leave, leaving Su Yi and Meng Hai to sit there alone.

"Tell me what you think." Su Yi still has a lot of trust in Meng Hai's ability.

Meng Haidao: "Unless you send sword and shield soldiers to take the lead in rushing out of the Southern Wasteland." Grab the attention of the opposing archers, then pikemen and archers follow and fight with them. Not only can the sword and shield soldiers serve to attract the attention of the opponent, but they can also cover the pikemen and archers behind them, and once our army breaks out of the Southern Wilderness, we can enter the battle in an instant. ”

Su Yi nodded and said, "Although this method is decent, it seems that it is one of the most effective ways at present. It's just that you've thought about it, if those Hu people had been prepared outside the Southern Wasteland. Traps and ambushes were laid, and our army rushed out of the southern wilderness forest was equivalent to entering the tiger's mouth, becoming fish and meat on their boards, and let those Hu people slaughter them. ”

Meng Hai sighed and said, "This is also a helpless move!" ”

Su Yi suddenly laughed: "Maybe we can send cavalry to charge in, although the Hu people are good at riding and shooting, but we will take advantage of the night to kill in." Kill them by surprise, these Hu people may not have time to mount their horses and face the iron cavalry of the cottage, then send archers to disturb their archers, and then order the sword and shield soldiers to push forward with their shields, and the pikemen will then charge and kill. It may not be impossible to take the Yongji Canal. ”

Meng Hai was stunned, in his impression, this cottage was quite outstanding in terms of courage and resourcefulness, how could he come up with such a stupid trick?

"My lord, the terrain of the Southern Barren Forest is complex and narrow, which is not suitable for cavalry charges, not to mention that we have laid a lot of fortifications in the South Barren Forest, although these fortifications have effectively resisted the invasion of the Hu people, but also make it impossible for our cavalry to charge to the other side of the Yongji Canal smoothly." Meng Hai tried to be as tactful as possible in his words.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Su Yi immediately burst out laughing, "Did I say that the cavalry went from the Southern Barren Forest to Yongji Canal?" ”

Meng Hai asked in surprise, "What does the lord mean?" ”

Su Yi took out an official document from his arms and handed it to Meng Hai, Meng Hai took it from Su Yi's hand in confusion, and when he opened it and looked at it, the whole person was excitedly entangled, "Lord, lord, is this true?" ”

Speaking of this, Meng Hai glanced at Su Yi suspiciously, he knew that the owner of his village had always been bold, as early as when Taohua Village was still a little-known village, he dared to pretend to be a son of the Han family in Liaodong, not only that, but also pretended to be an officer and soldier in Liaodong, and ran out of the Zongheng Mountain Range to sell weapons.

Thinking of Su Yi's criminal record, Meng Hai smacked his lips, thinking that the owner of the village is getting more and more bold, he used to pretend to be officers and soldiers, and now he has even begun to forge official documents, what is wrong with pretending, just to pretend to be the county order of the county? Although the official document is written as the acting county commander, everyone knows that as long as Su Yi becomes the head of Shangjun County, this nominal acting county commander will actually become the real master of Shangjun County.

Although he was surprised by Su Yi's boldness, Meng Hai still had to admire Su Yi's vicious vision, and went to Shangjun County to be the county commander, just because there was a reason to send troops to Yongji Canal, and now the contradiction between the Hu people and the Han people in Youzhou is becoming more and more intense, and sending troops to Yongji Canal is not only in line with the interests of the cottage, but also can win the hearts of the local Han people, and the connection between Shangjun County and Dongyang County has long been cut off by the Wudou Mi Sect, as long as Su Yi can successfully gain a foothold in Shangjun County, and slowly plot against the local powerful forces, he will soon be able to cultivate his own power.

At that time, with the official position of the county order, Su Yi could even appoint the leaders of these cottages as the military candidates in the upper county and county, order them to build military forts, and even promote them to the position of captain if necessary.

At that time, Su Yi was really a strong man on the previous side, not a grass coward who was partial to the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges. Thinking of this, Meng Hai suppressed his excitement and hurriedly said to Su Yi: "Lord, your courage is really too great!" ”

Su Yi suddenly laughed and said lightly: "Do you think this official document is fake?" ”

"What!" When Meng Hai heard this, his hands couldn't help shaking, and the official document in his hand almost fell to the ground, he looked at Su Yi blankly. (To be continued.) )
