Chapter 63: Fiction and Reality (I)

Mi Zhu saw the blaming look in Liu Cun's eyes flashed, and immediately realized that he had lost his temper, this guy was also a bachelor, and he smiled and gracefully turned to the monarch to apologize in a low voice, and said calmly that he was too anxious, please forgive me. *top*point*small* said.

The monarch Liu Xi is good-tempered, and he has been friends with Mi Zhu for many years, how can he blame him? Instead, he took Mi Zhu's hand and comforted him in harmony.

After the decision on the command of the battlefield, the supply of food, grass and arrows, and the conscription, everything had a direction to work towards, everyone finally knew what to do, and the efficiency under the crisis began to gradually manifest itself.

Liu Cun, who had successfully obtained military command, returned to the Xichengmen camp, and the ten-member staff team led by Cheng Ji and Lu Pei, who had been missing for several days, were already waiting in the barracks.

This barracks that originally belonged to the city defense officers and soldiers covers an area of about 10 acres, and after decades of continuous construction, the conditions are very good, with a barracks that can accommodate 1,000 officers and soldiers, a small school field of about two acres, and an independent courtyard located in the middle of the east, which has now been vacated and cleaned up as Liu Cun's temporary headquarters, and Liu Cun's 100 personal guards have been stationed here in advance.

Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Cun's extremely dissatisfied voice sounded, shocking everyone in the hall stunned: "Look at here again, only the direction and altitude are marked, the proportions are blurred, what is the terrain between the two highlands?" What is the depth and width of this section of the stream? There is also a ten-mile water area in Xucun, there is a ** head? Where is the pier? What is the height of the embankment and the river level? Slope geometry? If our army builds a bridge on the ice and crosses it, how can we grasp the speed without these data? These are the basic contents of surveying and mapping, and if you don't even master the most basic things, how can you control the battlefield where thousands of soldiers will sacrifice their lives in the future? Take it down, re-verify, it must be done before nightfall, otherwise military law will be engaged! ”

Cheng Ji and Lu Pei hurriedly rolled up the map on the table, slipped out without daring to raise their heads, gathered their respective brothers to move to the east wing in front, and took out nearly 100 original surveying and mapping data for intense verification.

Mi Fang glanced at Liu Cun, who was drinking water, and quietly turned to his brother Mi Zhu: "Big brother, Lu Pei took the detailed map of Xuzhou from his younger brother's hand, and brought more than a dozen of his subordinates and a few guys from our Nancheng branch to the north of the city for a day, and the map drawn was a hundred times more accurate than the one in our hands, and he was scolded like this by Brother Zijian?" It can't be Brother Zijian's intention, right? ”

Mi Zhu briefed his younger brother on Liu Cun's rigorous style of acting, as well as the general situation of the twenty-nine martial arts disciples he had heard under Liu Cun's seat, and finally sighed in a low voice: "Lu Pei and Cheng Ji have been under Zijian's disciple for less than two years, and they already have such a bearing and talent, thanks to Zijian's tireless teaching!" Zijian once said that details determine success or failure! It can be seen to what extent Zijian's requirements for details have reached, which is exactly what you are missing, and then you look at the generals in Zijian's army, who is arrogant and ambitious? Not a half! ”

"What ears do you bite? Come here, let's discuss it quickly, maybe we will have a tough battle tomorrow. Liu Cun urged Brother Mizhu loudly.

The Mizhu brothers hurriedly went over, gathered around Liu Cun and stared intently at the map on the table, listened to Liu Cun's detailed analysis of the Yellow Turban and Nancheng defenders in Fei County, and then said the response measures of the Langya army and the plan for the two sides to work together, and immediately felt a great increase in confidence.

Mi Fang asked anxiously: "In this way, wouldn't my brother bear the huge pressure of more than 20,000 thieves in Fei County alone?" ”

Liu Cun explained: "In order to attract the main force of the Yellow Turbans and prevent them from suddenly gathering troops and defeating any of the two armies in Xuzhou, I must hold them back as much as possible, and win time for Lord Cao Bao and your brothers to stabilize the defensive line and urgently recruit soldiers, otherwise once any of your two armies are broken, tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans will surge south, looting the hinterland of Xuzhou without hindrance. ”

Mi Zhu was moved by Liu Cun's high righteousness: "Brother Xian, your 5,000 foot soldiers are all recruits who have only been trained for half a year, if the more than 20,000 thieves in Fei County attack regardless of their boldness, take advantage of your unstable foothold, and fight you in the wide and flat Xu Village, even if you have many crossbows and crossbows in your army, I am afraid you will have to break your muscles and bones!" ”

Liu Cun sighed: "Little brother doesn't know, but the opportunity is fleeting, you need to go in decisively, and if you don't fight a tough battle, you can't confuse the opponent, and you can't let the officers and soldiers under your command stand tall in the baptism of blood and fire and grow into a real strong army!" Both of them are my Liu Cun's good brothers, so I dare not say something to outsiders today: nothing in the world can escape the heavenly way of the weak and the strong, and the survival of the fittest! If you don't become a strong man as soon as possible, what kind of fate awaits you and me once the troubled times come? ”

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's hearts were shocked, it was precisely because they had such a strong sense of crisis that they did not hesitate to take out a huge amount of family wealth and urgently mobilized manpower and material resources to go north to resist the enemy, although they did not have such a clear summary and definition by Liu Cun, but why not for the survival and reproduction of the Mi family? And why don't you have the ambition to rise in troubled times? It can be said that Liu Cun's heartfelt words spoke to their hearts and deeply touched their souls.

On the twentieth day of the first month of the third year of Zhongping, Xu Village, Fei County.

Xucun is a village of only more than 140 households, located in the southern foot of Yimeng Mountain, a radius of dozens of miles are plains and low mounds, the land is fertile and the water source is sufficient, the Wushui (now Yihe) that originates from the Yimeng Mountain flows leisurely through the north of the small village, the riverbank is green and bamboo, the distant mountains are reckless and long, even if the remnants of the snow are now cold in spring, you can also see the greenery.

Xucun is 36 miles away from Feixian County in the northwest and 40 miles away from Kaiyang Wangcheng in the southeast, almost in the middle of the two cities, and has been a place for merchants and travelers to settle down for decades.

After Fei County in the northwest was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, Xu Village, which had been in Chengping for a hundred years, also caused unprecedented catastrophe like the surrounding villages, and the big households in the village were slaughtered by the bitter and hateful Yellow Turban Army, and more than 800 villagers were either driven to Fei County by the Yellow Turban Army, or fled to Kaiyang Wangcheng in the east along Wushui, leaving only more than ten old people who could not abandon their homes.

More than 5,000 Yellow Turban troops swept away all the rice grain and wealth in the village, leaving 300 troops to garrison Xucun to closely monitor the movements of Kaiyang Wangcheng in the southeast.

In the early morning of two days ago, when the cold north was blowing incessantly, and the whining of the wind through the bamboo tops sounded all night, the 300 Yellow Turban Army, who were shivering from the cold, hid in the courtyards of several large families in the village and fell asleep, only to be cut off the necks of more than 30 people by dozens of officers and soldiers scouts who quietly arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of dense horse hooves like muffled thunder rolled in, and more than 300 well-equipped cavalrymen, under the command of the scouts, surrounded the courtyards of several large families in a blink of an eye.
