The leopard fetus, the Han people like to eat animal cubs, because of its delicate flesh, the leopard fetus is known as "the most beautiful in the world", is an important delicacy of the nobles, many nobles raise leopards for food, Liu Yu's animal room raised a few leopards

Bohai County is near the sea, out of the aquatic mountain country of the winter brew is a famous wine Luancheng County women are famous for their charm Yuan's dancing girls are known all over the world, Liu Yu said that these are basically Jizhou's famous products, Huang Ming has been in Changshan for a long time, he is very familiar with this, and said to Wen Chou with a smile: "The rest is just that, only the talent of the Yuan family dance must be watched, and the demon girl of Luancheng must not be seen" Huang Ming is the son of the powerful, and he often eats all kinds of delicacies such as leopard fetus and big carp, and he does not think it is expensive, so he only says that the singing and dancing beauties of Yuan's Luancheng need to be watched

Wen Chou said in his heart: "There are frozen bones on the road, and Zhumen wine and meat stink"

Liu Yugang, the king of Zhao, donated more than 100 stables to him, which was very generous, but he was not good at saying something bad about the scenery here, and he should be smiling at the moment

Sending everyone outside the hall, Liu Yu smiled and said to Wen Chou, "Before Wei came, he was frightened day and night, and he didn't sleep well for several months, and now Wei has just arrived in the country and fought a big victory, destroying his thief and killing more than a thousand, thinking that the thieves in the mountains will be shocked and frightened after hearing the news, and they dare not come to disturb my Yuan clan again, and they can sleep well tonight!" ”

Say goodbye to Liu Yu and everyone leaves the palace

Outside the gate of the palace, Huang Zong is a national master, and he is not allowed to participate in national politics according to the law, so he first said goodbye and went home to "servant" He Fa had no interest in military affairs, and also said goodbye Huang Ming refused to leave, and wanted to follow Li Jin to the Prime Minister's Mansion to listen to Wen Chou's specific strategy for leveling thieves

The three of them each summoned to come over by car, Li Jinwen Chou was about to get into the car, Huang Ming said: "The palace is not close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, now it is twilight, there are many people on the street, and when the Prime Minister's Mansion is afraid that the sky will be dark." Why don't I wait for a car and listen to the captain talk about the strategy in the car first? ”

As soon as he imagined the scene of returning to Luoyang in the coming day and boasting about his military exploits to his relatives and friends, to the surprise and admiration of all of them, Huang Ming was eager to try and impatient. But I didn't want to wait even half an hour

He is Duan Jue's subordinate, and although Li Jin usually doesn't have much contact with him, there is no need to refuse him in such a trivial matter, because he asked Wen Chou: "How?" ”

Wen Chou was indispensable, and the three of them boarded Li Jin's car together

The car is big, the shoes are simple, and the luxury is that if it is a car that can only accommodate one person to stand and sit, the three of them will definitely not be able to sit down, but Li Jin is the prime minister of the country, and the carriage he sits in is very large, which is enough to accommodate several people to sit opposite each other, and the three of them can kneel and sit relatively together. There is more than enough space in the car

The honor guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him opened the way, and the royal man in the car raised his whip, walked on his horse, the wheels turned, and Xu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion The honor guard of Wen Chou and Huang Ming followed him

In the car, Huang Ming couldn't wait to say to Wen Chou: "Captain, please speak!" ”

"I think that as long as the country can do a good job in epidemic prevention and food preparation, then there are many thieves in the mountains. But don't worry about it."

"Yes, but as the lieutenant said when he was in the palace. The thieves and thieves in the valleys of the West Black Sea are almost 10,000 people, and the population of the country is only 10,000, which is still the population before the chaos, and now I am afraid that at most 1340,000 of these thieves or even more than 10,000 thieves must not be ignored. ”

"Eight words: attack early, slowly draw"

Huang Ming was inexplicable. I didn't understand it at all, and said, "Attack Xu Xu Tuzhi early? If you want to 'attack early', how can you 'plan slowly'? ”

"Early" and "slowly", these are a pair of antonyms, and Li Jin was also stunned

Wen Chou was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The group of thieves in the mountains is divided into two categories. One is the old robbers in the county, such as Wang Dang, and the other is the rest of the later Black Mountain, such as the left bearded yellow beard and the rest of the Black Mountain are new thieves, just arrived in the mountain, and Wang Dang and other old robbers are not familiar with each other, they are difficult to unite with each other, which gives our county the opportunity to take advantage of this to attack it,......"

When Huang Ming heard this, he understood what Wen Chou meant by "attack early", and interjected: "I understand!" Now the new thieves are coming, so they are not familiar with Wang Dang and other old Kou, but if they are in the same mountain for a long time, they may become acquainted with each other, and even unite, and by that time it will be difficult for our county to attack, so the captain said that it is necessary to 'attack as soon as possible'"

"Exactly"

Li Jin groaned and said: "The so-called thieves, the unrighteous people, the profit will be gathered, and the unprofitable will be scattered, and if there is no righteous death, if the captain will also attack it, the old thief and the new thief will probably not help each other, but the new thief is the rest of Montenegro, the same source, if the captain clicks on one of them, will it cause the rescue of the other branches?" Suitable in the palace, Wen Wei talked about the situation of the mountain thieves, the mountain thieves are the old Kou less, the new thieves are more, mainly the rest of the Black Mountain, each branch of its department added together there are 5,000 people, my county soldiers are only a thousand, the captain's troops are not much, when the thief is attacked, you have to leave part of the city to defend the city, if the new thief branch nearly 10,000 people besiege it, will it be very dangerous? ”

Wen Chou said: "Although the rest of the mountain of Montenegro is said to be from the same source, it is not the same one, some are Zhang Yan's trilogy, some are Zhang Liang's trilogy, some are Zhang Bao's trilogy, and some are the sub-trilogy of Qu Shuai Xiaoshuai of the counties of the state When Jizhou Black Mountain was prosperous, there were hundreds of thousands, how could they all know each other?" Now Zhang Yan and the others are all ambushed, they have no leader, and they don't know each other well, so they have to fight separately, just like a plate of scattered sand, although it is the same name as Black Mountain, but when I click on one of them, the other branches may not necessarily come to the rescue."

When the Zhang Yan brothers were alive, hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou Montenegro could unite under their banner

As soon as the Zhang Yan brothers died, there was no one in Jizhou Montenegro who had enough prestige to unify the tribes, and most of the tribes did not know each other, and when they were chased by the counties and states of Jizhou shortly after the defeat, the ministries were too busy to protect themselves, except for a few far-sighted people, most of the rest will inevitably only take care of themselves, and will not care about the life and death of other departments. However, when they split and scattered, they became independent, and after the war, there was nothing to fear

Li Jin and Huang thought about it carefully and felt that Wen Chou was right

Huang Ming praised: "Wei is thoughtful, smart and observant, and his analysis of the rest of Montenegro is too good!" After a pause, he said: "I know what 'early attack' is, what is 'slow map'?" ”

Wen Chouxin said: "The main event is coming"

The "Two Strategies for Peaceful Thieves: Epidemic Prevention and Food Preparation" mentioned in the palace before, and the "early attack" just mentioned, these are just introductions, and "slowly drawing" is his priority

He said: "The thieves and thieves are hiding in the valley, and most of the tribes I have brought are Yu people, who do not know geography. I have never experienced mountain battles, and I have rushed to attack

, will be defeated, so, I said, 'Slowly'"

Li Jin said: "Most of the lieutenants are Yu people and don't know mountain warfare, but the county soldiers of the country are all locals. Knowing geography and knowing how to fight in the mountains, why don't you focus on the county soldiers and attack the bandits? Just like Wei said: If it is delayed for too long, the new thieves of the mountain and the old thieves are likely to unite, and it is not too late to strike again at that time? ”

Wen Chou smiled: "As a general, if you don't know the ability of the soldiers, you are not familiar with the temperament of the soldiers. Then you can't win the battle, this is a taboo for the soldiers, the county soldiers are all local brave and familiar with the Yamagata, and in the future, they will naturally be the main ones, but before that, I must first familiarize myself with their talents and temperament, so that I can not be defeated in a hundred battles."

Huang Ming was impressed and said, "Wei Zhen knows the soldiers! ”

Li Jin couldn't help but look up. said: "What the captain said is very true, but I was in a hurry" paused. He also said, "There are not many county soldiers, only a thousand people, with the talents of captains, it won't take long to become familiar with their abilities" Fu asked Wen Chou again, "I don't know how the captain plans to understand the county soldiers?" Is there anything I need to do? ”

That's it. The car is retreated

Li Jin thought that something was happening outside, so he stopped talking for a while, lifted the curtain and looked out, but saw that the street outside the car was clean and fine, so he called the driver in front of him. Asked, "Why park?" ”

One person smiled outside the car door: "I am suitable to return home, and I am driving in Xiangjun's car, so I took the liberty to come to visit"

Li Jin motioned to Huang Ming to open the car door, and there was a person standing under the door, about fifty years old, dressed in black, with a high crown and a smile, looking at the car with a smile

The Yuan family is the Yuan clan, his grandfather is two thousand stones, he himself was also the Qingzhou Thorn History because of his family background, Li Jin has always been quite respectful to him at this time Seeing him, he smiled and said: "Who am I Dao, but it is the Yuan Clan"

The prime minister's car was not stopped by anyone casually, and if an ordinary person came to stop the car halfway, it was already taken down by the halberd guards

Li Jin asked: "It's twilight, why is Gong still on the street?" ”

"After doing a small thing, it will be too late"

Li Jin saw that he had no intention of leaving, his heart was strange, and he thought: "Dao Zuo met, saying that he came to see me, but he has already seen it, but he still hasn't left?" "I don't know what Yuan Xiang means, he is in the car, Yuan Xiang is under the car, this is not the etiquette of speaking, he said: "The public is invited to sit in the car"

Yuan Shixiang waited for this sentence, and Ban'er was not polite, and immediately boarded the car and waited for him to sit down, and Li Jinnai ordered the car to follow

was interrupted by the Yuan family, Li Jin didn't want to ask Wen Chou how to understand the county soldiers, but because of his thoughts, he didn't have anything to say to the Yuan family, so he was quite speechless, just greetings

Huang Ming was anxious to listen to Wen Chou's method of understanding the county soldiers, and saw that Li Jin didn't ask again, and Wen Chou didn't say anything, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and frequently looked at Yuan's appearance

Yuan smiled and said: "I don't mean that Wei Lang Ling is also in the car Erjun and Xiangjun gathered in a car of ,......, Xiangjun, are you discussing something important?" ”

Huang Ming replied: "I'm listening to the lieutenant talk about the strategy of leveling the thief."

The Yuan family said "oh", pretended to be remorseful, and said: "It turns out that the princes are talking about this big thing, but I recklessly bumped into the prime minister and please stop driving, let me go, I won't bother"

There are three big scholars in Yuan's county, and the Yuan's clan is one of them, and the patriarch of the Yuan's clan Li Jinxin said: "In the future, the thieves will defend the city, and it is indispensable to use the county families I have let the Yuan's prime minister get on the car, if he is let go down, it may cause him to be unhappy, if there is a suspicion because of this, but it is not conducive to my future protection of the county to guard the border" smiled, "The father-in-law is the old Hun Lang general, the public should also know the military affairs, now there are many thieves in the country, I am trying to borrow the talent of the public, why should I get off the car to destroy the thief and the people?" ”

This is exactly what Yuan's meaning is, and he smiled: "What talent do I have? And what can it be? Xiangjun is useful to me, even though the command is"

Li Jin briefly repeated what Wen Chou said before, "The second strategy of the thief attacked Xu Xu Tuzhi as soon as possible", and after speaking, he said to the Yuan family: "Before the public got into the car, I was asking the captain how to familiarize himself with the county soldiers."

Yuan smiled and said to Wen Chou: "Captain, please say, I will hear it"

Wen Chou and Yuan Shi Rong have seen, but not with Yuan Shi, this is the first acquaintance, he smiled and said: "A few days ago, the son of the ugly taste and the prince saw that the son of the master of the book of Yu Le showed off his cleverness, Ying Yi is very son, the father should be the father of the better father, so the Hun Lang General, the border has the ability to achieve, the scandal is heard, should not be in front of the public, now try to say, if there is a mistake, please advise the public"

Yuan smiled and said, "Please say"

Huang Ming urged: "Say it quickly, say it quickly"

Wen Chou said: "If you want to get acquainted with the county soldiers as soon as possible, there is only one way."

Huang Ming asked, "What is it?" ”

"When it is late autumn, the preface is the story of the month: 'Moon Test' I am ready to follow the story, set up a school to summon the county soldiers, try to use the ability of its five soldiers, and observe its battle skills, and those who are outstanding will be promoted, and those who are unqualified will retreat."

In the past, when the post of lieutenant of the inland county was not abolished, each county had an assessment drill for the north of the county every year, called the "capital test", and the time was in the autumn of August or month, "five soldiers" refers to the bow, crossbow, halberd, shield, sword, armor, and Kai are mainly to test the bow and crossbow archery

Huang Ming was overjoyed, he liked to be lively, and said: "Okay! I'm going to join in the fun! ”

Wen Chouxiao and Li Jin said: "If the prime minister agrees, when the capital is tested, the minister of state must be invited to preside."

According to the custom, when all the people are tested, the captain or captain of the prime minister is present

Li Jin said: "Since the county in the province, the lieutenant of the county, the inner county has not heard of the move of the capital for more than 100 years, this is a grand event, not only can you choose to be brave, but also can boost the prestige of our country, frustrate the thief lieutenant This strategy is very good, of course I want to go to the ......, when do you plan to try?" ”

"The county has not tried for a long time, and some preparations need to be made, and it is initially scheduled for ten days, what does the minister think?"

"It's too late, it......'s too late, it's too late, there's nothing to prepare for, just set up a school super-summoning the county guard, in my opinion, it will be ready in two or three days, why don't you set it in three days?"

"Obey the Prime Minister"

Yuan Shixiang smiled at this time: "My brother-in-law Lu Guang, now the county soldier Cao is an official, if the lieutenant needs anything, you can let him do it."

Wen Chou said in his heart: "I met the Yuan family for the first time, but why did he recommend someone to me?" And it was his relatives who recommended it? ”

Looking at the smile of the Yuan family, he seemed to have an understanding, but it was not the time to think about it now, he said: "Just try it, I understand that the county soldiers can go into the mountains to fight the thieves!" ”

Li Jinxi said: "Then I will wait for Wei Jixun in the country!" ”

"But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be done"

"What?"

"On the day of the test, the county soldiers gathered, and the defense of the city may be relaxed......"

Li Jin was shocked and said, "What is the countermeasure of the good captain?" Without waiting for Wen Chou to answer, he had already thought of a countermeasure and said, "The infantry and cavalry under the captain's account are all elite soldiers, and this city defense will be entrusted to the captain's pawn" (to be continued.) )
