After being silent for a while, when Liu Fan was about to go crazy, Song Cheng opened his mouth and said, "It has been a while since my army came to the Hanzhong region, and according to my understanding during this time, the situation in the Hanzhong region is not stable now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWe have to prepare ahead of time, and instead of being passive, we should be proactive. So I think we should do something about it! ”

Liu Fan nodded and said, "Hmm!" You're right, it's time for us to do something! Song Cheng, if you have any ideas, you may wish to say it, if it is feasible, I will consider it at my discretion! ”

Song Cheng bowed and said, "Overseer, now that our army is stationed in Chenggu, there is basically nothing to do except training, so I suggest that we might as well divide some people into the mountains to encircle and suppress a small group of Liukou, on the one hand, we can eliminate the eyes and ears of the Liukou, reduce their vital force, and escort our development in Chenggu!" On the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to exercise the army and familiarize yourself with the terrain, my army was born in Jiaozhou, and I am not familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers in this place, once I start a war with the rogues who are familiar with the terrain, I must be at a disadvantage, so I think it is very necessary to enhance the soldiers' ability to adapt to mountain operations! ”

Liu Fan lowered his head and pondered, Song Cheng's worries were not unreasonable, the reason why the Liukou was able to repeatedly defeat the officials and troops who were stronger than them was inseparable from the support of the people, there was no need to think deeply Liu Fan also knew that the surroundings of the city seemed to be stable, but in fact, the ears and eyes of the Liukou must be everywhere, once the war started, the enemy knew everything about himself, but he knew nothing about the Liukou, so it was too passive, this was not the result that Liu Fan wanted to see. In just a moment, Liu Fan made a decision: "Okay! Song Cheng, what you said is very reasonable, I'll leave this matter to you! Tomorrow, 5,000 people will be drawn from the army, divided into five columns, from south to north, from east to west, to completely wipe out the rogue forces in Chenggu, and at the worst, they will be driven out of Chenggu. In addition, a team that knows how to survey and map will be organized to specially map the geography of the mountains and rivers in Hanzhong to prepare for the battle! Then Liu Fan turned his head to Wang Pu who was on the upper right and said, "Wang Pu, transfer 2,000 people from the Beijing camp to cooperate with Song Cheng's action, and your people and horses in the Beijing camp will also participate in this operation!" ”

Wang Pu asked respectfully, "My lord, am I personally leading the team this time?" ”

Liu Fan shook his head and said, "No, just let your subordinates go, I have other tasks to give you!" The day before yesterday, Lian Guoshi sent someone to inform me that we would send a person to Hanzhong City to stay in permanent residence so as to facilitate the communication between the two sides. I want to send you, what do you think? ”

Wang Pu was a little hesitant when he heard this, this going to Hanzhong to garrison seemed to be a fat difference, but Wang Pu understood that if Liu Fan transferred him, then his control over the Beijing camp would inevitably be greatly reduced, as long as Liu Fan moved a little, then his power in the Broken Army would be gone. What kind of virtue are those people under him, Wang Pu knows very well, and his ability to make the rudder a little more powerful than him when he sees the wind!

But Liu Fan is obviously asking him now, in fact, it's just a polite gesture, Liu Fan is now his top boss, his strength is many times stronger than him, the military order is like a mountain, Wang Pu did not dare to refuse Liu Fan's order, sighed in his heart, Wang Pu replied respectfully, "The overseer has ordered his subordinates not to disobey, not to mention that going to Hanzhong is also a beautiful difference, and his subordinates are tired of these natural disasters in the barracks, and it is good to go out to play!" ”

Liu Fan said with a smile, "This time I didn't let you play, you also saw what happened in the Lian State Mansion last time, and he spared no effort to buy us!" There is a way to be diligent and either traitorous or thief, and he must have a plan to buy you like this! The reason why I sent you this time is because of your exquisite ability and flexible response ability, so you must be more careful when you go to Hanzhong this time. Don't fall for other people's ways, otherwise I won't mention you to blame! ”

Wang Pu smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Overseer, are you praising me or scolding me!" ”

Liu Fan smiled and said, "Of course I'm praising you, okay, this matter is settled, everyone go back and prepare, you don't need me to teach you how to behave, right?" Meeting! ”

After Liu Fan's plan was announced, the machine of the Broken Army started quickly, everyone performed their duties, and for a while, the army was frequently transferred, and everyone became busy, the only exception was Liu Fan, the "big boss" of the Broken Army! The tasks were all assigned to others, but Liu Fan himself was idle. It's not that he doesn't want to do something, but now everything is complicated, they have just come to Chenggu for a long time, and the foundation is still very unstable, at this time, Liu Fan must stay in the center to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. To put it bluntly, the central dispatch is to stay in the barracks to prevent accidents, but in fact, there are not too many things to deal with.

After staying in the barracks for two days, Liu Fan arranged many things properly, and after Song Cheng's army set off, Liu Fan summoned Sun Liang and instructed him to temporarily take the position of the chief officer in the army, and he took Li Xiaohu to the camp outside Chenggu Town to inspect the situation.

After a few days, the camp of the displaced people expanded rapidly, from the three camps of 3,000 people that Liu Fan saw for the first time, to ten now, which shows that Zhang Xiaohe has done a good job of collecting the displaced people. Standing on a hillside in the distance, Liu Fan looked at the bustling and prosperous people who came in and out, and was quite satisfied. Maybe that's a good start.

The most fundamental reason why Liu Fan attaches so much importance to the reconstruction and restoration of Chenggu is not simply to build a solid foundation in the rear, but also to use Chenggu as a test field and a pathfinder to verify whether his idea is feasible.

Because Liu Fan knew very well that it was not enough to completely defeat the rogues only in a military war, and the fundamental reason why the rogues were able to continue to grow was that the people had no way to live, and in order to survive, they had to take risks and embark on the road of rebellion. Liu Fan mobilized personnel and materials from Shandong to promote high-yield crops, completely solve the problem of food, so that the people could have food, clothes to wear, and houses to live in, so as to cut off the conditions for the continued growth of the Liukou from the root. Once he succeeds in Chenggu, then Liu Fan will have a bottom in his heart, and his future plans will be easier to arrange. Taking a step back, even if it doesn't succeed, as long as the people see the benefits of high-yield crops, then it is a good thing for Liu Fan and Daming, at least if the "artifact" of potatoes is popularized in the Central Plains, then I don't know how many people will live because of it in the future.
