Chapter 7: Dare to Detect the Enemy's Camp

"When others fight, the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, how come you are fighting more and more like this? Uncle Wei can tell you that those are all traitors, and they should be ******** in both affection and reason, and the kindness of a woman will only bring trouble to herself in the end! Whether it's inside the army or the court! Zhu Jun called Zhu Cheng over that night and reprimanded. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The 20,000-strong army has fought so far, although it is a small force, but hundreds of people have been killed, but fortunately, Zhu Jun also selected a group of local children from good families, in fact, more of them received the volunteers there, and carefully selected the strongest part into the team.

On the other hand, Zhu Cheng directly killed the heinous ones of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the coerced ones were directly recruited into the army, with the result that the team of 5,000 people has now become a team of 6,000 people. Not only that, but also recruited an additional 300 medical soldiers, and everyone knows what the background of these medical soldiers is.

This is not to say that additional troops cannot be recruited, but mainly that they can be continuously expanded as long as funds and food permit. Millions of Yellow Turban thieves cannot be defeated by 30,000 or 40,000 troops, the more the better, but according to Zhu Jun's opinion, the resources in his hands are only afraid that he can recruit about 50,000 at most.

Therefore, he hopes that these troops can be the children of good families, simply put, the children of the family with land. This kind of person is easier to control and is not prone to problems. As for whether the political commissar is reliable or not, he still has no bottom in his heart.

Perhaps, in his view, education is a long-term behavior, and it is not something that can completely change people's beliefs in three days. Not to mention the inclusion of yellow turban thieves into the team, it is also easy to be criticized, and there is no shortage of such barking mad dogs in the court.

"Uncle, listen to me!" Zhu Cheng also knew Zhu Jun's worries, so he patiently waited for him to finish his reprimand, and then comforted and said, "All the troops recruited by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the nephews have been incorporated into the death army, to put it bluntly, they are allowed to fight their original comrades-in-arms in a state of lack of weapons and armor." I made an agreement with them that if I killed a total of 10 enemies, I would be exempted. When the time comes, the enemies that continue to be killed will be counted as their merits. ”

"I see, in this case, it can be regarded as waste!" Zhu Jun was stunned.

"After all, the cost of recruitment is very low, and in order to prevent them from bombing the camp, they are also kept under surveillance, but the political commissar will always give them propaganda and education. The nephew didn't give them any weapons or armor, and they had to use the farm tools they were holding as weapons.

The point is that they will be at the forefront at the beginning of the war, and once they retreat, there will naturally be our soldiers to pick them up. If luck does kill ten enemies for them, what about giving them freedom? After all, they are just coerced existence, and they haven't done many bad things. Zhu Cheng said with a smile.

"You have to control this measure well, and if you do it well, then it is indeed a good move, but if you can't control it, then you should know what the consequences will be for you!" Zhu Jun didn't laugh, but patiently advised.

Zhu Jun left, but Zhu Cheng's mood was not very good. Could it be that the Yellow Turban Thieves really have to be killed? Aren't they the same as themselves, all of them are Chinese people?!

Remember the battle of Guangzong, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song captured two or three hundred thousand Yellow Turban thieves, right? As a result, they did not collect it, but killed all of them, two or three hundred thousand people!

But after understanding the actual situation of the officers and soldiers, Zhu Cheng may think that it is more reasonable......

A yellow turban thief of two or three hundred thousand is out of control. They can surrender now, and they can also take the opportunity to rebel later, they themselves have no ability to control them, and their co-optation can only bring trouble to themselves; Second, there was a drought last summer and heavy rains in autumn, and there was a lack of grain and grass in the Sili area, and two or three hundred thousand people were not without food or drink, and they could grab it before, but after they were absorbed, they could only invest in the government to provide food, and with the grain in the hands of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, in fact, they could not support them to absorb these two or three hundred thousand people.

It is unrealistic to dissolve on the spot, who knows if they will rebel again after returning to their hometown, and they can't explain to the emperor; It is not realistic to recruit only a small number of them, they are villagers themselves, and the relationship between them is very complicated, and it is not suitable to recruit anyone. As a result, when they retreated, these two or three hundred thousand captives could only be killed.

This reminded Zhu Cheng of the Battle of Changping again, why did Bai Qi kill hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops, one could not afford to raise them, and the other could not let them go back, so in the end they could only be pitted!

It's just that Zhu Cheng is indeed a little disgusted by this kind of behavior of turning the civil war into a national war, but no one in the past dynasties has paid attention to the difference between the national war and the civil war. After all, most of the people, and even most of the officials, do not have the concept of a state or even a nation, and at most it is only in the embryonic stage.

"Did the messenger send out? Can you trust it? After Zhu Cheng returned to his tent, Ouyang Xing asked.

"The envoy is a good family of Si Li, and there are old people and brothers and sisters in the family, unless he plans to cut down all the door, he will definitely not dare to ignore the things of the lord, but at most he is greedy." Ouyang Xing replied slowly.

"It doesn't matter if you are greedy, how can you let someone do things for you if you don't have any motivation, but the bottom line of the price must be drawn clearly, and whoever dares to cross this bottom line should know how to deal with it." Zhu Cheng said with a bit of murderous aura.

The day before yesterday, he spent 10 energy points to exchange for a bottle of perfume, which Ouyang Xing personally went to Chenliu County to sell. He received 6,000 quintals of five baht, of which 4,000 were exchanged for grain. Just yesterday, he gave Ouyang Xing ten bottles of perfume and asked him to send someone to sell it elsewhere, which is talking about this matter at this moment.

He didn't dare to take out the glass products and sell them casually, otherwise the ones that were sent out earlier would be depreciated, not even a little bit, which would cause dissatisfaction among those who received the gifts, especially Liu Hong!

That's why he inherited the perfume, and the small glass bottle was not as good as the carvings he had given away before, so it didn't think it would cause the depreciation of those things. The key is that the things inside, after adopting the auction method, actually earned 6,000 yuan.

Zhu Cheng's reserve price for those envoys was 5,500 yuan, and at least this price could be sold before it could be sold. There are five officers and soldiers around them, and they are called the right middle general, and they have to weigh if they want to move those people in the place.

The key is whether those messengers will flee with the money, or falsely report the income or something.

Zhu Cheng's standard was that if it was less than 5,500 yuan for sale, he would be beheaded; Don't say anything about corruption, but those who are not corrupt will definitely be given priority; If the money escapes, Zhu Cheng can afford to lose 10 energy points, but the family of the messenger will be beheaded! He has the ability now, and he can do it under the pretext of being a gangster! As for how it ends, let's wait and see!

The next day, under Zhu Jun's order, the whole army marched and went to Weishi County. Before they arrived, they had just arrived in the surrounding area of Weishi County, and the scout troops had already begun to find a lot of Yellow Turban stragglers wandering, who seemed to be the other party's scouts.

"Kill!" Zhu Jun gave an order to the scouts of his army, and at the same time sent the cavalry out. The scouts of the Yellow Turban Thieves were all foot soldiers, and naturally they were not spared by the charge of the horses.

In a short period of time, the Yellow Turban Thief scouts around Weishi County had been wiped out, and the other party seemed to realize that the official army had arrived, so they did not continue to send scouts.

However, soon there was a very bad news back, according to the scout's report, Weishi County had fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and now tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Thieves were entrenched in the county, intending to defend the city. If the officers and soldiers want to conquer, they are afraid that there is no way to fight in the field, and they must be changed to siege warfare!

Siege warfare can be different from field warfare, especially for recruits, who are not trained in siege warfare at all. If the city is attacked rashly, even if it is defeated, I am afraid that the troops, which have been overnumbered to more than 25,000, will be reduced by at least more than 50%.

In desperation, Zhu Jun could only station near Weishi County first, and then go to find another way.

After Zhu Cheng returned to the camp, he found Yang Lang and asked, "Do you have the courage to visit Wei's County at night?" ”

"To what extent does the lord want his subordinates to investigate?" Yang Lang couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"The specific distribution of the enemy army, the situation of the guards at the city gate during the shift change, and the location of the thief leader! If you are within your ability, you will cut off the thief's head for me, do you dare? Zhu Cheng tried to ask.

"The first few points can be done by subordinates, and the last point can be tried!" Yang Lang replied without any hesitation.

"How many people do you need to help you?" Zhu Cheng asked.

"Not at the moment, they're still in training!" Yang Lang shook his head, and he could only drag his feet when he followed.

"Waiting for you to come back!" Zhu Cheng nodded, put down this sentence and left.

That night, Yang Lang quickly left the camp tent, and when he left the camp tent, because of Zhu Cheng's warrant, the patrol soldiers did not embarrass him. Subsequently, he also took advantage of the cover of night to cautiously lurk towards the county seat of Weishi.

Flying claws can be said to be a necessary prop for climbing, but ordinary soldiers rarely prepare this thing, and it is often used by those knights who are doing it around, or those who have been habitual thieves for many years.

No one knew why Yang Lang had prepared this thing, but it did work at this moment. Taking advantage of the gap between shifts, Yang Lang quickly lurked in the city, and escaped into the house under the cover of the city.

The residents' houses were in a mess, and there was even some smell of blood, and more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves were lying in the house to rest, obviously this place had been occupied by them, and there was no need to think about where the original owner had gone.

"Damn......" Yang Lang wanted to kill them, but he couldn't do that for the time being, otherwise he would most likely expose himself.

It had taken him about an hour to figure out the situation in the entire Wei County, and the people here had either joined the Yellow Turban Thieves or had been killed.

There are about 5,000 women from the age of eight to forty who are still concentrated...... There is no need to describe the purpose in detail, and in the county mansion, the head of the thief has more than fifty alone, and the whole room is filled with the sound of crying.

It's a good opportunity to kill him, but the waste thief is not worth killing at all. After carefully confirming the defense of the four city gates, and then the shift change, Yang Lang lurked out, and in the process, almost no one found out about his existence.

"Lord Qiqi, the information you want has been investigated, but the subordinates have made their own decisions, and they have not killed the thief leader......" Yang Lang returned to Zhu Cheng's tent, and the latter had already ordered the guards to wake him up once Yang Lang returned.

"Tell me your reason, it's good to say it!" Zhu Cheng pondered for a moment and then raised his head and said.
