Liu Shiliang and twenty-five sergeants came.

Seeing Liu Shiliang coming, Su Tiancheng was taken aback, does Liu Shiliang want to be a scout himself, such an arrangement is not very good, Liu Shiliang's army is one of the people in charge, the commander of the first cavalry battalion.

The role of scouts is extraordinary, not only the scouts of the army, but also with the flavor of special forces, spying on the enemy, finding out news, secretly solving the enemy's secret posts, assassinating important people of the enemy, capturing enemy characters alive to obtain intelligence, and even drawing map books, etc., the comprehensive ability of scouts is stronger than that of other sergeants, and they are good at camouflage.

Scouts are a very important part of the army.

Liu Shiliang's ability is indeed good, but this ability needs to be used in leading and commanding the army in combat, not as a scout.

Each of the five battalions of the Inspection Division has a scout team of 50 people, and these people are the hardest trained and the best among the sergeants.

"General Liu, are you going to personally reconnoiter the enemy?"

"My lord, my subordinates are going to inquire about the situation, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely complete the task."

Su Tiancheng was a little worried, but this was a decision made by Sun Yuankun, and it was impossible for him to change it temporarily.

"Okay, General Liu, tell me what kind of arrangement you have."

"My lord, according to General Sun's order, this time we sent twenty-six teams of scouts, each team of three people, under the unified command of the subordinates, divided into three directions, the front sixteen teams of scouts, mainly to grasp the military situation along the way, familiar with the terrain, draw maps, and the middle five teams of scouts, mainly to observe both sides of the army, whether there is any abnormal movement, whether there is a threat. The back five teams of scouts, mainly to observe whether there are people following the army, to make an accurate judgment, all scouts, set off at the end of the day, and return to the team at the time of unitary. Summarize the daily investigations. ”

Su Tiancheng nodded, such an arrangement is still very comprehensive.

"General Sun, then I'll talk about the requirements first."

"The core task of the scouts is mainly two points, the first is to find out where the Liukou is, how many people there are, according to my estimate, if the Liukou come to Anqing Mansion. There will not be many people, the purpose of their coming, mainly looting, there are many people coming, it is inconvenient, it is easy to be bitten by the imperial army, even if they loot materials, it is not easy to take away. So, the rogues who came to Anqing Mansion. It will be mainly cavalry, with good combat effectiveness, and after looting the supplies, it can be quickly evacuated. ”

"The second is to figure out the main direction of attack of the Liukou, Anqing Mansion is so big, if you go around casting a net to investigate. It will not have an effect, since the rogues are thinking about looting money and grain, they will definitely choose a place where people are concentrated, and only in such a place will there be money and food. They will never go to remote places, so their target must be the county seat. I have already discussed with General Sun, and it is estimated that they will choose Susong County, which is close to Huguang, and after they succeed, they can quickly leave Anqing Mansion. ”

"If the Liukou can capture the county seat of Susong, you can get a lot of supplements, but attacking the county seat, there is a great difficulty, there is also a great danger, they do not investigate clearly, will not be easy to do, from the map of Susong County, in the county seat seven miles away, there is a big market town, what is the situation of this market town, we don't know the road, but only seven miles away from the county seat, it is expected to be a little rich, their target, it is very likely to be here, so, the focus of your investigation, is in this place."

Sun Yuankun and Liu Shiliang looked at Su Tiancheng, a little unbelievable, Su Tiancheng could have such an accurate analysis.

Liu Shiliang was originally going to stay day and night to find out the situation.

Su Tiancheng had such careful thinking and a clear mind, which greatly surprised them.

Two days later, the team arrived outside Susong County.

It's December 28, and every family is preparing for the New Year.

The magistrate of Susong County was waiting for Su Tiancheng and others in the county office.

Sergeants will not enter the county seat, and the Susong County Ya has also arranged a place, a racecourse on the outskirts of the city, which is temporarily used as a foothold for the sergeants of the Jiangning County Inspection Division.

After visiting the magistrate in courtesy, Su Tiancheng and the others did not stay for dinner and returned directly to the barracks.

Susong County has prepared some wine and meat, after all, it is the eve of the Spring Festival, and it is very hard for people to come from afar.

According to Su Tiancheng's analysis, Sun Yuankun has already made arrangements, and the scout team has increased to thirty.

The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander gathered in Su Tiancheng's room.

Xiong Zijian and Deng Hui have been waiting here for a long time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Spring Festival soon, not to mention the eunuchs and gentry, even the ordinary people, they will reserve some materials, and they will be able to be more comfortable during the New Year.

"All brothers are working very hard, but we have to tense our nerves during the New Year, there is no way, I summoned you here to discuss the next move."

"Liukou suffered a setback in Shanxi, flowing to Henan, it is also difficult to gain a foothold, I estimate, the next step, they must go to Huguang, a long-distance attack, their silver and grain and grass are extremely scarce, urgently need to replenish, forced to have a last resort, it is possible to go to Anqing Mansion to take risks, so to say, grasp their purpose, you can be prepared."

"All over Huguang, must be fully prepared, everyone thinks that Zijin Liang with the Liukou must enter Huguang, it is precisely this situation, the Liukou may do the opposite, unexpectedly attack Anqing Mansion or the county seat under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture, from the specific situation, Yingshan County of Luzhou Prefecture is also a little dangerous."

"Yingshan County and Susong County, if you capture a county seat at will, you can get a great supplement and increase the strength of the Liukou, we must not allow such a situation to happen."

Everyone nodded.

Deng Hui spoke first.

"My lord, generals, I have some experience below, say it for your reference."

"Liukou fighting, erratic, quite a bit of a good situation, they will do a good job of reconnaissance in advance, now, we are stationed outside the county, it is impossible to keep it completely secret, Liukou learned of such a situation, most of them will not come here, but to the countryside to loot, they get very little, they will not do, since they have suffered setbacks in Shanxi and Henan, their grain and grass, is extremely scarce, at this time, to obtain silver and grain and grass, must be their biggest task."

"Huguang and Nanzhili are both rich places, but all parts of Huguang have been prepared for a long time, and the Liukou may not have a chance, they are very likely to go to Anqing Mansion or the county under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture, capture a county seat as quickly as possible, and leave quickly after getting supplies."

"The adult's analysis is very accurate, close to Huguang, only Yingshan County and Susong County, in the next person's opinion, Yingshan County is more dangerous."

Speaking of this, Deng Hui didn't continue to speak, there were some things that he couldn't say it inconvenient.

"Deng Hui, you go on, don't have any worries."

"It's good, I made such a judgment in the next place, because the capital city of Luzhou, which is more than 400 miles away from Yingshan County, the soldiers of Nanjing Jingying must be stationed in the capital city of Luzhou, if Yingshan is attacked, they are reinforcements, and it will take about two days, even if it is the time to get the news, maybe it will be about six or seven days, such a long time, the Liukou is ready, and he will definitely be able to calmly capture the county seat."

"Anqing Mansion City, the distance from Susong, is much closer, the fast horse will arrive in more than a day, the Liukou attack Susong, the news is out, they have no extra time, it is very likely that they will immediately face the reinforcements of the imperial court, so, in the following analysis, the Liukou is to enter Nanzhili, and the target chosen is likely to be Yingshan County."

Sun Yuankun nodded in approval.

"Well said, Brother Deng's analysis, I think, is very accurate."

Xiong Zijian also spoke, he is a staff member, and at the critical moment, he must give his opinion.

"Yingshan County is under the jurisdiction of the Luzhou Prefecture, according to the edict of the Ministry of War, the Luzhou Mansion is responsible for the Nanjing Jingying, if we analyze the situation and inform them, I am afraid it will cause some contradictions, the analysis of the Lord and Brother Deng is very reasonable, if the rogue invades Yingshan County, we must not sit idly by, we must rescue."

The rest of the people talked nonsense, all of them supported Deng Hui's analysis.

Su Tiancheng was very happy, this is the standard group of heroes.

"Okay, everyone's understanding, basically unified, Susong County, away from Yingshan County, there are nearly three hundred miles, fast horses for a day, scouts need to pay attention to the situation in Yingshan County at any time, as for our actions, we must have a detailed plan, the rogues are erratic, we can't be led by their noses, they are erratic, we will follow them to float, we are all cavalry, well prepared, if we bite them, we will not let them escape easily."

"Intelligence work is very important, we must not be reckless, we must not let our brothers shed blood in vain, we will not fight an unprepared war, we must plan in detail, strategize, and know everything in our hearts."

"General Sun, everything is under your command, we convene such a Zhuge Liang meeting, that is, to give you advice, I still have that request, with the smallest price, to win the biggest victory."

Everyone went to rest, and Sun Yuankun stayed.

"My lord, my subordinates think that this time it is still the adults who will coordinate and command, and the adults think far-reaching, and after making up their minds, the subordinates will implement it."

"No, what is determined must be carried out, if you encounter any problems, we can discuss together, and finally make a decision, at this time, you must not have the slightest hesitation, otherwise it will disturb the morale of the army, although you boldly command, the brothers are completely confident in you."
