With the arrival of the Spring Festival, the year of Wuchen is also officially arrived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not a single person froze to death in the country-related stronghold this winter, which is simply incredible for the people here. You must know that before Chen Tao, a group of refugees in their stronghold would freeze to death every winter.

Then they suddenly realized that it should be the relationship between the fire kang. Nowadays, the people here, in addition to working every day, when they come home, they stay on the kang, eat on it, sleep on it, and the warm and comfortable kang brings them warmth in the harsh winter.

After the small stronghold swore allegiance, Chen Tao also helped them build a lot of ondols, and the directors of these strongholds immediately threw aside the thick leather jackets on their bodies after enjoying the warmth of the ondol, and they were even more grateful to Chen Tao in their hearts.

After the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival), the government quickly resumed work, and the soldiers on leave began to return to the barracks for training one after another. This year, everyone who joined the army received a bottle of peanut oil, more than 10 catties of meat and 50 catties of grain at home. It cost a lot of spars for this, but it also made the people see the benefits of being a soldier, and many of the soldiers' neighbors also asked if they wanted to recruit people in the army.

This is also the result that Chen Tao wants to see, he wants to improve the status and treatment of soldiers, and then make the style of martial arts and military culture under his rule become stronger, he is not afraid of the militants full of offensive character, but he is afraid that his rule is a group of cowards full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

The spies sent out are also paying close attention to the situation in Yecheng and even the strongholds around Yecheng.

Sure enough, after the beginning of spring, Han Fu's side began to mobilize quickly, under the pretext that Chen Tao was disobedient to discipline and refused to pay taxes, he mobilized an army of 5,000 to go out at any time. According to the information obtained, there are more than 300 third-rate generals in this army, and there are also two second-rate generals in charge, and even I heard that there is also a qi practitioner in charge, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Han Fu was not so stupid, and did everything he could to attack the country-related strongholds. Of the 5,000 men, only 3,000 came from his rule, and the remaining 2,000 were Allied troops recruited from the surrounding counties.

The cost is forty percent of the booty, and these strongholds have also been exchanged for a lot of spars by Chen Tao in the recent trade. However, they obviously felt that Chen Tao had a lot of good things there, so they were also moved.

There were some soldiers from this stronghold, and 2,000 soldiers came out from this stronghold. There are even two hundred horse troops, led by Han Juzi, who is said to be the head of a stronghold.

Han Juzi Chen Tao seems to have heard of it, as if he is a general under Yuan Shao, but he is not familiar with it, and he doesn't know if it is. However, since this name is so familiar, it should also be a historical general, and it has a certain value of capturing and surrendering.

These two thousand people were appointed by Han Fu as the vanguard army, and he didn't care how to attack the strongholds related to the country, and he didn't ask them to be able to conquer them. It is only necessary to be able to contain the troops of the strongholds of the country concerned, so that they can launch attacks on the flank.

It seems that Han Fu has also done a lot of intelligence work these days, and he already knows the fact that Chen Tao only has 2,000 troops here. It's just that he did take it for granted, did he really think that the two thousand soldiers who had been scraped together could deal with the two thousand soldiers under Chen Tao?

"The enemy has set out from Yecheng and is estimated to arrive in two days, how do you think we should deal with it?" The war was approaching, and Chen Tao quickly attracted all the civil and military inquiries.

"The strikers are nothing but a rabble, and a single charge can be wiped out, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhang He was the first to get up and speak.

"What Captain Zhang said is extremely true, but if Han Fujun is scared away, it will not be beautiful." Simbi laughed.

"Do you want to lose the last game on purpose?" Zhang He was dissatisfied with what Xin Bi said, so he asked rhetorically.

"War is different from fighting, and the most that is won in a fight is the winner of the day; If the war is won, the world will be won. In a war, we should not care too much about the partial victory or defeat, and the final victory is the key. However, for us, maximizing the benefits of this war is the basis for formulating military strategy. Simbi replied with a smile.

"Zhang doesn't understand this, he only knows that marching and fighting is the duty of our generals. As for how to formulate military strategies and tactics, there is a labor division! Zhang He arched his hand towards Xin Bi, just because the latter had just been appointed as the military advisor for this battle.

"Actually, it's very simple, as long as you have a lose-lose result, if there is a faint trend of a big rout, then it's the best!" Simbi said with a smile.

"Strategist, this is too difficult for a strong man, isn't it?" In order to deal with a group of rabble, they actually have to fight and lose both, and those soldiers who have to sacrifice for this are innocent, anyway, Zhang He is not satisfied with this decision.

"You didn't ask the soldiers to die on the battlefield, it's always okay to pretend to be dead, right?" Xin Bi knew that Zhang He had misunderstood, so he explained.

"Play dead? The military advisor is smart! Zhang He was also stunned, and then understood.

It is said that both loses and loses, but in fact, it is not a lose. On the one hand, he beat the other party and scattered the rabble, but on the other hand, he left an ambush at the scene by pretending to be dead.

At the same time, the soldiers who returned from the rout were put into the war at any time as another army, which was a good strategy.

"Two batches of weapons are needed for this, one thrown on the spot to attract enemy soldiers and make them think that we are truly defeated. If it weren't for the fact that the lord had a way to get more weapons, I was afraid that Xin would not have been able to make this plan. Xin Bi arched his hand towards Chen Tao.

"A few weapons, not a problem." You need a hedron to exchange weapons, but it doesn't matter if you can win.

"That is, there is a huge disparity between the enemy's combat power and ours, otherwise this move will be counterattacked if you are not careful." Xin Ping added.

It's not fun to play dead on the battlefield, if you're not careful, the enemy will make up for the soldier, and then you won't be pretending to be dead, but really dead, and you will die very unjustly.

"Are you sure?" Chen Tao looked at Zhang He.

"You can make a military order!" Zhang He stood up and shouted.

"Forget the military order, if there is a problem, you will be demoted to the third class, and you will be fined for one year, what do you think?" Chen Tao said.

"The Lord is benevolent!" Zhang He didn't have anything to say, so he could only give his hand to thank him.

At this time, there were guards outside who came to report: The principals of three small strongholds learned that Han Fu had sent people to attack, and sent more than 500 people to support, hoping that Chen Tao would take them in for reorganization.

Chen Tao did not want such uncertainties to join the war, otherwise it would be difficult to say what consequences would be caused by the war. However, it is not easy to refuse people thousands of miles away, saying that they should guard the rear to prevent the enemy from sneaking around the rear or something.

In fact, it is to let them stay in a place that does not affect the situation of the war, but if it is beneficial afterwards, they are indispensable. It's rare for others to give their minds, and you can't snub others, right?

"Lord, it's almost time to send Zhang Yan a letter asking for help." Simbi was reminded.

"Yes, and write him a letter!" When Chen Tao heard this, he laughed, and immediately sent someone to bring pen, ink and bamboo slips, wrote a letter for help to Zhang Yan, and sent someone to send it out.
