Chapter 92: Take the initiative

Liu Meng is really helpless, is it doomed to be unpeaceful because the system he got is called the Total War System? In winter, when it is not appropriate to use the sword soldiers, there are thieves to attack, and next year it is scheduled to fight with Yuan Shu after the beginning of spring, and he will not be idle in a short time, but the focus at this time is how to pass the Black Mountain Army.

"Feng Xiao can have a good strategy to break the enemy?" Liu Meng saw that Guo Jia was just solemn but did not mean to panic, thinking that there must be an unfinished meaning in his words.

"Although there are many enemy troops, it is really not suitable for the use of soldiers in winter, and there will definitely be no less people who freeze to death and frostbite in the open field, which will not only cause the enemy to attrition but also hit the enemy soldiers, and our army can largely avoid this situation, in addition to the many displaced people in the city, these people are not as weak as before after our army's relief, if the city of Hedong is broken, these people will end up miserable, the lord can mobilize the people to help our army defend the city, and then the army and the people can work together to resist the thieves, so that the enemy army has a good time, the place, and the people have not obtained one of them, Despite their large numbers, our army did not fail to win. Guo Jia analyzed.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, I want to lead the army out of the city to attack the enemy village at night when the enemy army is approaching, do you think it is feasible to dedicate?" Liu Meng was deeply convinced of what Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia pondered for a while and said: "Jia thinks it is feasible, after all, the thieves are just thieves, these people are all remnants of the Yellow Turban, not only the gap in the quality of the soldiers, but the people in command should not have much ability to command the army." ”

What Guo Jia said was telling the truth, the mighty Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed in less than a year, not only because the Yellow Turban soldiers were too weak, but more importantly, because there was no one in his army who was good at commanding troops.

After agreeing on the battle, it was time to wait for the approach of the Montenegrin army.

In the Tiger Prison, Chu Yan came to Zhang Ning's residence.

"Uncle Chu, why are you here?" Zhang Ning asked.

"Miss, there is a military situation from Hedong, the remnants of the Yellow Turban and the current Montenegrin Army cannot survive the winter due to lack of food, and 300,000 troops are raised to invade Hedong." Chu Yan said.

"Alas, I think my father wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world. But I don't want to be like this, but the poor people at the beginning are now unable to return to their homes and become thieves, I don't know if it's right or wrong. Zhang Ning sighed.

"Miss doesn't need to be like this, the sect leader's original intentions are good. These people are poor people who are oppressed by excessive taxes and can barely survive, and even if they don't follow the sect leader, they may starve to death one day because they can't pay the taxes. Chu Yan said with relief.

"But these people are now in such a situation is also related to their father, what Anpinghou has done is in the eyes of you and me, and the people who love the people should seize the world to realize their father's grand wish to create a peaceful and prosperous world. I really can't bear to see these people make a big mistake against them, Uncle Chu, do you have a way? Zhang Ning asked.

"Miss, these people are no longer the simple people they used to be, they have completely made enemies with them after fighting with the officials and soldiers over the years, and there is no possibility of resolving it, even if you and I come forward, it will not work." Chu Yan shook her head and said.

"What does Uncle Chu think of this victory?"

"It's really hard to say, but I think the chances of the lord winning will be greater, after all, the lord's ability is very magical, and it's not something I can speculate about." Since Liu Meng waved his hand and summoned the Yellow Turban Lux that day, Chu Yan has been in deep awe of Liu Meng.

"I want to go to the east of the river to meet the Marquis of Anping. If he defeats the Montenegrin army, I will ask him to spare these people and not kill too much. Zhang Ning said.

"Miss can't, the victory or defeat has not been scored, if the lord defeats Miss, you will be in danger, and besides, An Pinghou is not a person who loves to kill, the first few times were mainly to surrender, and this time I will not kill in vain." Chu Yan was shocked and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

"These people are different, not to mention that they have completely become thieves now, but when the official army suppressed my yellow turban before, could they have surrendered? It's not all about killing them all. Although Anping Hou is not thirsty for killing. But it's hard to be compatible with these people because of reputation. Zhang Ning shook his head and said.

Chu Yan was silent when she heard this, Zhang Ning was telling the truth, there was really no precedent for collecting and surrendering thieves at this time, and all of them were executed after being captured.

It's no wonder that both of them think so. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the killing of these Yellow Turban thieves was a credit, and it was a certificate for the addition of officials to the knighthood, and the princes from all walks of life naturally would not surrender, but now the situation is different, the princes are self-reliant, and these thieves are the population in their eyes. is the survivability, but also the source of its soldiers, but now no one has set a precedent, which is why the two have this misunderstanding.

"Then I will accompany Miss to go, and if the situation is unfavorable, I will definitely protect Miss well." Chu Yan saw that Zhang Ning had made up his mind to go, so he no longer stopped him, but said that he wanted to go together.

"No, Anpinghou kindly took in you and me, and handed over such a heavy place as the Tiger Prison to you to garrison, if you leave and cause the Tiger Prison to be lost, wouldn't it be worthy of Anpinghou's trust? You also said that Anping Hou has a good chance of winning, and I will definitely not be in danger. Zhang Ning angrily refused.

"Then I will send my men to escort Miss there, Miss be careful all the way." Chu Yan saw that her young lady was angry, and she didn't dare to say anything about going together.

"The Tiger Prison to Hedong is the place where the Marquis of Anping belongs, I will definitely not be in any danger, Uncle Chu is stationed in the Tiger Prison with peace of mind." Zhang Ning did not refuse Zhang Yan's proposal.

A few days later, Zhang Ning came to Hedong under the escort of dozens of yellow turban wrestlers, but she didn't see Liu Meng, because at this time the Montenegrin army was approaching, and Liu Meng had already taken 10,000 elites out of the city the day before yesterday to find a night attack, not because he didn't want to bring more soldiers, but because the thick clothes were only enough to equip these soldiers.

Shortly after the beginning of winter, there is no snow in Hedong, but the temperature is already very low due to the location in the north.

The winter night came very early, and the Montenegrin army was numerous, and the whole camp stretched for dozens of miles.

The former military camp was already very quiet at this time, most of the Montenegrin soldiers had already gone into tents to rest, and only a few soldiers were patrolling back and forth to keep vigil.

"Head, it's too cold this day, and we're really finding our own guilt when we're patrolling back and forth here." A small soldier complained.

"Yes, everyone else has gone into the quilt to rest, just us people are blowing the wind outside, it is uncomfortable to think about it, I can't even see a bird along the way, how can there be an enemy attacking." One chimed in.

The leader felt justified when he heard the complaints of his subordinates, but he was a little afraid of violating the military order: "But if you don't patrol and keep vigil and go to sleep, it won't be easy to do if the leader finds out." ”

"Head, you're too careful, do you see who else is out except for us? The leader is at least ten miles away from us, how can he know? ”

When the leader heard what his subordinates said, he gritted his teeth and agreed, and led a few of his men back to the tent to rest.

After some people set an example, some people followed, and in a short time the few vigilmen returned to their tents to rest.

Soon after, Liu Meng quietly approached the Black Mountain military camp with his soldiers. (To be continued.) )
