The discussion was intense, and before I knew it, it was noon. The final battle plan was formulated, and Zhang Chu issued a battle order according to the plan and assigned tasks to each person. Everyone left with their own orders, and Zhang Chu deliberately left Li Yi behind and advised: "The key to winning this battle lies in your cavalry, and you will have to fight continuously in the next few days, and you will work hard." ”

"Our cavalry is the most expensive soldier in the security team, don't look at us only have more than 50 horses, the money and food spent on the cavalry is enough to feed hundreds of infantry, this time we must live up to the trust, let the infantry see, this cavalry is expensive. To be honest, I really don't like them as far as the cavalry of the guard post is concerned. Li Yi was full of confidence because of the arrangement just now.

Zhang Chu was very satisfied after hearing this, he really wanted more cavalry, but it was indeed too expensive to raise cavalry. Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and scraped together to accumulate more than 50 cavalry now, and it could only be one person and one horse. Zhang Chu thought that the current cavalry was just like the tank troops of later generations, tanks were much more expensive than luxury cars, and it was not possible for ordinary financial resources to charge with a group of people driving equipment that was more expensive than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Cadillac.

After sending Li Yi away, only Zhu Xiucai, who was in charge of recording, was left in the house, and Zhang Chu asked Zhu Xiucai, who was packing up his things: "How are the children's studies?" ”

"They learn very well, they are all smart and hardworking, they already know a lot of words, and they can read some books."

"This is very good, children are our hope, we will rely on them in the future, but it is not enough to just read, but also to teach them some practical knowledge, I have some fragmentary ideas, you have time to help me summarize together to compile a practical textbook, which will be used as a textbook for our security army school in the future."

Zhu Xiucai has no objection to teaching children some practical learning, it is impossible to rely on the imperial examination to study after joining the security army, these days in the security army, Zhu Xiucai also understands that it is difficult to survive without real weapons and food, those poems and songs, moral articles are the knowledge of the peaceful and prosperous era.

The two of them chatted about the future plans of the security army and waited for news from all sides, and time seemed to slow down.

Chen Qianhu's procession when he set off from Yan'an Mansion was majestic and majestic, waving goodbye to the officials who saw him off, and kicked up dust and rolled forward on the main road of Yan'an Mansion. Not far from Yan'an Mansion, the whole team was loosened, the general flag of each team shouted loudly in the team to urge the soldiers to hurry, and the soldiers complained loudly to stop and rest, the soldiers walked forward step by step, Qianhu Chen Qiang was not in a hurry, but thought about how to have more gains in this trip. The stop-and-go of the team did not arouse Chen Qianhu's anger. In the afternoon, when the sky was still bright, a village was found in front of him, and Chen Qianhu ordered the team to enter the village to camp and rest. The patriarch of the village hurriedly ran over to meet Chen Qianhu and begged him to restrain the soldiers. Chen Qianhu saw that the gifts sent by the patriarch were quite rich, so he said to the guards beside him: "Go and give an order, let those monkey cubs stop for a while." "The guards were ordered to go down.

Chen Qianhu turned to the patriarch: "I was ordered by the governor to march into the army to suppress the bandits, passing through your realm, and I also ask all the fathers and elders to support us in many ways, so I ask the old gentleman to arrange a place for us to live in the village." ”

One sentence scared the patriarch a lot, not to mention that so many soldiers lived in the villagers' homes, even if they lived in the village, the village would also be harmed. Hurriedly saluted: "Please also ask the general to understand the difficulties of the small village, we will prepare wine and food to comfort the sergeants." He stepped forward and quietly glanced at a junior of his own clan who was following him. The juniors understood and turned around and went out.

Chen Qianhu then greeted the patriarch cordially and chatted about the local customs. After a while, the patriarch's junior came back and put a wooden box on the table in front of Chen Qianhu, Chen Qianhu saw him come in with a wooden box, estimated the weight of the wooden box in his heart, and then said with satisfaction: "Our army will definitely do its best to suppress bandits and protect the peace of the villagers." ”

The patriarch thanked him for his resignation, and Chen Qianhu opened the wooden box and looked at the shining silver heart inside and said, "This old guy is quite sensible. So he ordered the party to camp outside the village, and not to enter the village if there was nothing to do. He himself took the guards and lived in the house in the village that the patriarch had prepared for him. Now that the team has just left Yan'an Mansion and is still more than a hundred miles away from the thieves to be beaten, of course I have to relax, saying that I can't live in the wilderness.

The camp outside the village was quiet after a lot of noise, and Shi Qing, the little flag in the army, kept cursing the damn cold weather, and cursed the chief without naming him by the way, how could there be a year that was not over, and it was so cold that he sent troops to fight, it was really a black heart, regardless of the life and death of the soldiers. I was thinking that the money that was finally issued before the expedition was gone in a blink of an eye, and in the past few days, I have gambled with several pro-soldiers of the general banner and lost nothing, and the silver has not been returned to others before it is hot. Today, I saw hope in a village, but the thousand households must have received the benefits of others, and even the village did not allow the brothers to enter, so the plan to make a fortune failed.

In the second half of the night, Shi Qing poked the entourage who was sleeping beside him, and several soldiers of the same team were woken up from their sleep, they looked at Shi Qing and understood what to do, this kind of thing was not done less when he went out on the expedition before. The five men got dressed and quietly evaded the sentry and left the camp to reach the village. They chose a yard with a better house and jumped over the wall. Reach for the house. The door was opened, Shi Qing stood in a good position and ordered someone to light the torch in his hand, and the person sleeping on the kang was restrained from shouting before he could come. Inside the house was a young couple and a child of four or five years old, and when they saw so many people entering the house in the dark, they were so frightened that they shivered and hid in the bed and did not dare to make a sound.

Shi Qing pointed a knife at the man and said, "Be smart, take out the valuable things!" The man trembled naked and got up and pointed out the place where he put the money, and a soldier went over to rummage through it, only found a few strings of copper coins and couldn't help but be furious, came over and put a knife against the man's chest, and said viciously: "Just use these rags to coax Lao Tzu, do you want to find death?" ”

The man lay on the ground with his whole body like chaff and begged: "The military master really has nothing, and he has nothing to eat after several years of famine." ”

The soldier pushed the knife forward and pierced the man's flesh, and the man groaned in pain, but he did not dare to make a loud noise. The soldiers saw that there might really be nothing of value left. In the blink of an eye, I searched in the house, saw the woman hiding in the quilt and did not dare to make a sound, jumped up the pit and walked towards the woman. The woman was so frightened that she curled up to the corner of the kang, and the soldier pulled the quilt and threw it to the ground, revealing the woman's unclothed body, and the soldiers in the room laughed lewdly. As soon as the soldier wanted to pounce on the woman, Shi Qing came over and kicked the soldier to the side, raised the knife in his hand and stabbed the woman's chest, killing the woman on the kang. scolded in his mouth: "When you are happy, let Lao Tzu stand guard for you to drink the northwest wind, remember the words of Qianhu, right?" The work needs to be clean, and we have to go to the next house to get some, or we will come for nothing tonight. When the soldier heard this, he immediately got up and went to the man who was frightened by the sudden turn of events, and fell to the ground without even snorting, and died. The children hidden under the covers were not spared. A few people saw that there was really nothing of value to grab, and they screamed out of the yard in their mouths.

When they just came out of the courtyard and a few black shadows jumped out of the darkness of the courtyard wall, the sharp blade immediately cut the throats of the four soldiers, only Xiaoqi Shi Qing was gagged, the knife placed on the neck was not cut, the corpse and Shi Qing were dragged into the courtyard, and the courtyard door was closed again.

It was Yu Jiang, the squad leader of the security team, and several of his team members who did it.

It turned out that Yu Jiang was promoted to squad leader because of his bravery in the battle of Zhoujiabao. Zhang Chu personally met him at that time, and saw that the young man was shrewd and strong, so he thought of a way to play a more effective role. He was ordered to select strong, flexible, and smart-minded members of the security team to form a separate team, each of these people has good skills, and several of them have practiced martial arts for a few days, and it is not a problem for one person to deal with two or three ordinary people. Zhang Chu provided them with better food, but also asked for more intense training, and taught them the combat methods of special forces that he learned on the Internet or in TV dramas, so that they could slowly explore by themselves, and repeatedly emphasized that what he taught was only theory, and what to do must be combined with reality. In fact, Zhang Chu himself didn't know whether this knowledge was practical. Zhang Chu hoped that this small team of men and horses could play the role of a reconnaissance company in the future, and it would be great if they could be trained into special forces, everything had a beginning, and Zhang Chu's decision opened up a new field for the conduct of the war.

Shi Qing was taken to the house, and the bodies of a family of three in the house were still bleeding, and the team members secretly regretted that they didn't do it earlier.

It turned out that after learning that Chen Qianhu's official army was going to attack the security team, Zhang Chu immediately sent Yu Jiang's team to their team, hoping to detect more detailed information. Yu Jiang and the others also rushed over shortly after the official army arrived in this village, but they didn't have a chance to attack. I could only hide outside the barracks to look for opportunities, but I really couldn't do it, so I touched it in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect to find that five officers and soldiers sneaked out of the camp in the middle of the night, Yu Jiang and they decided to follow to see what they were going to do. Seeing that they entered the courtyard and didn't know what to do, he decided to wait for them outside the courtyard to come out before he started, but he didn't expect that the officials and soldiers were coming to rob things, and they killed the family ruthlessly.

People who kill people without blinking have a deeper sense of fear when they face death, Shi Qing saw that the steel knife around his neck had already wet his pants, and when Yu Jiang asked him about the situation, he was even more afraid that he would not understand. The situation in the camp was described in detail.

Yu Jiang saw that he was still honest, so he continued to ask, "Where is the tent of the thousand households?" ”
