Sun Yuan's loud shout made Liu Zongmin's family members stop at the same time.

Liu Zongmin: "It's you?" ”

Sun Yuanyi arched his hand: "It's the subordinate ......"

Before the words were finished, there was a "snap", and the horsewhip in Liu Zongmin's hand was slammed on Sun Yuan's shoulder. Fortunately, Sun Yuan was wearing a thick cotton jacket, so he didn't feel pain. However, the jacket that had just been changed was torn apart, and the white cotton bloomed.

Sun Yuan's expression did not move, and he still maintained the posture of his hands.

Liu Zongmin looked angry: "Do you know why you were sucked?" ”

Sun Yuan: "My subordinates don't understand. ”

Liu Zongmin roared in a low voice: "I told you to guard the warehouse well, but you asked Gao Jie's brute to bully the door to show off his might, Lao Liu's face has been lost by your group of useless things, do you think you should fight?" ”

Sun Yuan was also not afraid, and sneered: "Gao Jie is in charge of my army's money and food, he wants to come over to read the account book, what can I do as a new person?" Although Sun Yuan is General Liu's master, the general has a lot of surveillance on his subordinates. Gao Jie insulted me too much before, although Sun Yuan was a mustard Confucian, there was a blood in his chest, and his hand touched the knife. It's a pity that the other brothers were afraid that Sun Yuan would suffer, but they hugged me to death. ”

"Is there such a thing? Xiao Ding. ”

Xiao Ding hurriedly ran over, and with a very fast speed, he told Liu Zongmin about everything that had happened in the household department office before.

Liu Zongmin's face was a little better: "I didn't expect you to be a little bold with this bird feather show, it's very good, let's say, you just told General Ben to slow down, what's the matter." If you can't tell you why, General Ben should use military justice to deal with you. ”

Sun Yuan saw Fei Hong and the others just now that they were about to die under the random arrows, and he was anxious, so he shouted "Slow", but he didn't think about how to persuade Liu Zongmin. Listening to him ask at this moment, it felt like my mind was spinning so fast as I wanted it to be.

Sure you can convince him, you can.

There you have it, right.

Sun Yuan suddenly had an idea, and whispered to Liu Zongmin: "General Liu, these twenty or so men in front of you are mighty and majestic, and they are well-founded, and they don't seem to be local guards, but they are border troops from Shanxi." After suffering a defeat in Henan, he fled to Fengyang. ”

Liu Zongmin glanced at Fei Hong and the others, and bowed slightly: "Indeed." "Since he joined the peasant army, he has not known how many times he has dealt with the Shanxi and Shaanxi border armies, and he has also suffered a lot of losses.

Sun Yuan: "There are more than 20 border troops, and the combat effectiveness is not bad. Since Henan, after countless bloody battles, the troops have been greatly reduced, and they have been replenishing their troops while marching. These twenty or so people are all veterans, so it is better to surrender. ”

"Surrender?" Liu Zongmin sneered and looked at Sun Yuan, "It's just a group of useless musketeers, what's the use of it?" There are so many people in this Fengyang City, if Lao Liu wants to arrest thousands of strong men at any time, there is no shortage of these people. To tell you the truth, Lao Liu, I am not happy today, I just want to see some blood, so what? ”

Sun Yuan hurriedly said: "What General Liu said is also bad, when our righteous army was in Shaanxi, the number of people was not large, and the strength was not strong. But so what, didn't you even manage to take down a big city? Not only that, but he was also driven to hide in Tibet by the official army. Normally, a border army of more than 1,000 people can defeat our tens of thousands of righteous troops. After our righteous army entered Shanxi and received a large number of border troops to take refuge and repay, the battle could be regarded as a good fight. ”

Sun Yuan was very polite when he spoke, and Liu Zongmin's face gradually became gloomy.

Sun Yuan: "It can be seen that such a thing as fighting a war requires long-term training, and it also has to rely on experienced professional soldiers. The Shanxi-Shaanxi border army fought with the Mongols and even Houjin Jiannu all the year round, and the battle was already ripe, so it can be said that it can be used. Since the banner was raised, our righteous army has moved to the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Hubei provinces, and there is no time to rectify it at all. To this day, most of the officers of the army come from the officers and soldiers of the uprising. ”

These are all recorded in real history. The peasant army really began to grow stronger after entering Shanxi and being supplemented by the armies of the two sides. War is the law of nature in any era, and the specialization and regularization of the armed forces is the only way. Otherwise, it will not be an army, but a rabble.

Sun Yuan: "Of course, General Liu is a genius in the sky, and the art of war does not let Sun Wu go, and he is the first fierce general I sent to break into the army." But it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, if the officers under her command do not succeed, there is no way to fight this battle, the general is an old general on the battlefield, this truth must be clear. The group of soldiers in front of me was not in a chaotic formation under the siege of our army, and it was a pity that only 20 or so people could resist the attack of hundreds of my warriors, and if they were all shot, it would be a pity. It's better to recruit into the general's account. ”

While Sun Yuan spoke, although Liu Zongmin's face was ugly, he gradually frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Sun Yuan finally lowered his voice and added: "General, I heard from the brothers that there are more than 10,000 people in my camp, but after deducting the old and weak and their families, I am afraid that it is only three or five thousand main soldiers, and this point of men and horses belongs to the generals in the battalion." General Liu has 2,000 soldiers under his command, and Xiaosheng has a general understanding, and it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people who dare to fight. If I don't expand my strength, I'm afraid that I will have to fall back in the ranking. The twenty or so people who dare to die in front of you, if you take refuge in the general, General Liu, your family will immediately increase by one percent. Twenty warriors, General Liu rode into Fengyang twenty last night, didn't he turn it upside down? General, think about it, if someone wants to go out of your hands with twenty families, would you be willing? Now that you can get twenty main soldiers without much effort, are you willing to shoot them all? ”

For a long time, Liu Zongmin has always had 2,000 people in the future, and he can be regarded as a cough in the camp, and the ground will tremble a little, even if King Gao Chuang and Li Zicheng see themselves, they have to be polite. But now when he heard Sun Yuan speak with the data, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he whispered in disbelief: "Mara, there are only two or three hundred soldiers available under my old Liu?" ”

He stretched out his whip and nodded Sun Yuan's brain, and a smile appeared on his gloomy black face: "Master, how did your brain grow, why is it so bright?" I don't understand what I said, if it weren't for your reminder, Lao Liu would have really suffered a heavy loss today! That's right, the second is an ordinary person, killing is killing, and it is no different from fertilizer buried in the ground. But these twenty people are all elite families, and they can't help but get their hands on them. ”

Being pointed on the head with a whip by Liu Zongmin, Sun Yuan was furious in his heart, but he was still extremely modest on the surface: "The general praised it falsely." ”

Liu Zongmin immediately raised his voice and shouted to Fei Hong and the others inside: "Listen, the people inside, immediately put down their weapons, come out and surrender, and this general will spare your life." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the donkey shout angrily: "Hedong boy, there is no death!" ”

"Bang!" Another volley of guns came in.

Looking past Liu Zongmin, a row of firelight suddenly appeared in the dark courtyard in front of him, and under the firelight, the milky white gunpowder smoke instantly spread, rolling and hovering in the night, like a fierce beast, and the momentum was really amazing.

It's a pity, because it's too far apart. And the muskets of this era had no rifling in the barrel. After the projectiles are discharged, the trajectory is weird, and the ghost knows where they have shot, and it is pure luck that they can hit people. Therefore, the musket tactics of this era were generally that the musketeers lined up in a neat formation, waiting until the enemy approached before firing at the same time, relying on a dense barrage to kill and injure the enemy.

Therefore, this array of guns has no effect.

However, the sudden loud noise still startled Liu Zongmin's horse.

With a long hiss, the big beast jumped wildly.

"Bastard thing, thing!" Liu Zongmin was so angry that his face was blue.

When Sun Yuan saw it, his heart screamed badly. Hurriedly grabbed the reins, and it took a long time to appease the horse, and said, "Don't worry, general, don't worry." ”

"Damn, I don't know what to do." Liu Zongmin raised his right hand: "Archers prepare." ”

Sun Yuan: "That group of soldiers don't know each other, and they should be cut with a thousand knives to annoy the generals." However, if they are all killed, won't we be busy in vain? General, otherwise, I will persuade them and explain the reason, and perhaps they will submit to the general. ”

"You're going to be a lobbyist?" Liu Zongmin stared at him strangely.

Sun Yuanyu smiled and said: "General, although this group of people has a bad attitude, it also shows that they are real men. If they can easily surrender to the general today, I really want to persuade you to slaughter them all. ”

Liu Zongmin was surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

Sun Yuan: "General, do you think that they can easily surrender when they are surrounded by you today, are they trustworthy?" On the battlefield, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Although the general is brave, who can tell clearly about the war, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no time when things go wrong. If this group of people becomes your personal soldiers, once the situation is unfavorable, as soon as the officers and soldiers shout, this group of people will surrender, and maybe they will also tie up the general to the enemy as a greeting gift. Their refusal to surrender today shows that these people can be trusted. Once you return to your heart, you will inevitably be loyal to the general. ”

Liu Zongmin was bullstrapped by Sun Yuan, his brain was already messed up, he touched his beard, and said happily: "In this way, there is some truth in your words." But if you go and become a lobbyist, if those people refuse to surrender, they will surely slaughter you, are you not afraid? ”

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "Xiaosheng is dedicated to serving the general, but the general refuses to trust me." Xiaosheng didn't complain, I only served the general for a day, and no one else would believe me. This time, let's take it as a vote for Xiaosheng! ”

Hearing Sun Yuan's sincerity, Liu Zongmin was moved: "Okay, let me give you a try." If you can say that this group of soldiers will vote, General Ben will treat you as his own brother. If you can't ......"

If not, this bird feather show will definitely be killed by those soldiers.

When the time comes, I can only blame him for his own misery.
