"Yutian Feng sits in the county government, there is no need to leave the generals!" Smiling and glancing at Gao Shun, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile and said: "You only know that he is good at political affairs, but you don't know that he is also good at military strategy, as long as you leave two thousand soldiers and horses, you and I can sit back and relax." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals immediately looked at each other, and their faces showed suspicion, but they didn't refute it out loud.

His eyes swept over the generals, but Wang Xu didn't care, anyway, there was a chance to prove it in the future. "Gao Shun, how is the current training of recruits in various departments? I'm talking about combat power. ”

Seeing that Wang Xu asked about himself, Gao Shun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately arched his hand: "Back to the lord, the recruits of each department have begun to have combat power, which can be compared with the previous county soldiers. As for the original veterans, they can already be barely called elite. ”

"Hmm!" Although he was still not very satisfied, Wang Xu also knew that this was already the limit, after all, it was impossible to train elite soldiers in less than three months. "Do you have all the equipment for that soldier?"

"It's ready!" Gao Shun nodded in response.

As Gao Shun's words fell, dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the big tent. Everyone looked back and saw that Tian Feng had arrived with all the senior civil officials.

Wang Xu didn't say much, smiled slightly, and after signaling everyone to sit down, he immediately issued an order: "Everyone, this time I will send troops to Guiyang, I will take away more than 6,000 soldiers and generals in the army, and only 2,000 will be left in Quanling, and Tian Feng will be in charge of it." The main book Wang Kai, the soldier Cao Peng Wang Fei, and the Gong Cao Peng Zhou Zhi accompanied him. Wei Cao Peng said that he was still in charge of the coordination between the army and the rear, and was responsible for the escort of grain and grass materials if necessary. Cang Cao Peng Huan is responsible for adjusting the usage. The rest of the people perform their own duties, and if there is an emergency, Tian Feng can deal with it with full authority. ”

"No!" With Wang Xu's order, a neat sound of promise suddenly sounded in the tent.

Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled slightly, and then looked at the civil officials on the left: "Everyone, after I send troops to Guiyang this time, I will leave all the affairs of Lingling County to you." And now that spring ploughing is imminent, we must follow my intentions, reasonably distribute the displaced people and land, and do a good job in spring ploughing affairs, which is the foundation of our county, don't be negligent! ”

Hearing this, Huan Jie and Liu Xian immediately arched their hands solemnly: "We will live up to the general's hopes." ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Wang Xu looked at Pang Ji, who was sitting a little behind, and said softly: "Ziyou, you have to pay more attention to the barbarians. Although there is the county magistrate of Ningyuan County and the governor of Sima Laigong of other departments in this regard, you must also communicate with him in a timely manner, and you must not go on a business trip. ”

"No!" Pang Ji suddenly arched his hand.

Smiling slightly, Wang Xu saw that what he should have said had been finished, so he turned his head and glanced at Tian Feng. Although he didn't say anything, Tian Feng, who knew Wang Xu's intentions, already understood that he wanted him to take a good check.

Seeing Tian Feng nodding invisibly, Wang Xu was relieved. said with a smile: "Zhou Zhi, you can tell everyone about the current shape of the Guiyang thieves!" ”

"Okay, Boss!" In response, Zhou Zhi immediately stood up: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, there are three large bandits in Guiyang, one is Ou Xing, and there are about 30,000 people. Looking at Wang Rui's actions, he already has the intention of withdrawing troops. ”

"And the other group is active in the area of Qitianling and Keling Mountain, which is the Zhou Dynasty that was defeated by us last year, Guo Shibu! Their team has also grown, and now there are more than 7,000 people. ”

"The last group is the rioting barbarian coalition army, all of which are barbarian settlements from various mountains in the southeast, and the leader is called Zheng Ke, with about 10,000 people, and is currently entrenched in Qujiang County, southeast of Guiyang."

As Zhou Zhi's words fell, Liu Xian couldn't help but interject: "In just a few months, why have these thieves developed so strongly? ”

"Shizong, from the late autumn to the present, Guiyang has been in a mess, and the people have no way to live, isn't it normal to join the thieves as a last resort?" Tian Feng stroked his beard and smiled.

Wang Xu also smiled and nodded: "Yes, although they seem to have a lot of people, they are actually quite weak. Most of them are homeless people who have no means of support, neither trained nor heavily equipped to arm them, and pacification is a breeze. The key question now is how to defeat and bring down these thieves at the lowest cost, they are good citizens and should not be killed too much. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a short silence in the tent, and after a while, Huan Jie slowly spoke: "General, the lower officials feel that they must first pacify the district star, then coerce the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi to surrender, and finally pacify the barbarians!" ”

"Haha! This is exactly what I want. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xu slowly shook his head: "However, before that, Wang Rui must be allowed to withdraw, and if he makes trouble, don't think about doing anything." Maybe it will make a mess of Guiyang. ”

As soon as Wang Xu's words fell, Tian Feng took over with a slow smile: "This is not difficult, Wang Rui is at the end of his crossbow at the moment, and he is ruthless to survive this winter completely for his own selfishness, and he can't let go of his face." And the reason why it has survived for so long is simply because Ou Xing deliberately released water! ”

"Oh? Why is that? Huan Su suddenly interjected suspiciously.

"Huh! Because Ou Xing was afraid that Sun Jian and I would send troops to come, he wanted to use Wang Rui, a fool, to delay time until he developed and grew strong enough to resist. Wang Xu was so little by Tian Feng, but he immediately understood.

As soon as these words came out, Tian Feng immediately stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, as far as I can deduce, after Wang Rui's tossing, the soldiers under the tent have long been warless and demoralized. Especially this winter is still so cold, and the food and grass materials are not sufficient, how can there be combat power. And Yi District Xing has been able to develop to this point with some strategy, how can he not even know this, as long as he carries out a few all-army assaults, Wang Rui will already retreat. ”

Hearing this, Gong Qiu Cheng also laughed, and took over the words: "Yes! I also think that Ou Xing is very abnormal this winter, because he is quite willing to fight. Before Sun Taishou and the lord arrived, they had always been vigorous and left no room for improvement. Now he always has a skirmish with Wang Rui from time to time, which is really not his style. ”

Speaking of this, Gong Qiucheng smiled at everyone, and continued: "In this way, the lord only needs to enter the Qitianling Ridge to scare off the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi, and then the garrison will not move forward and make a posture of attacking the district star." At that time, Wang Rui completely lost his use value, and Ou Xing was worried that he would be attacked on both sides, so he would definitely attack violently. I don't think Wang Rui is too stupid! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter. After a while, Wang Xu waved his hand and said: "Wen Liang is built well, the official road from Quanling to Chenxian County, the capital of Guiyang County, just has to pass through Qitianling, which is not only convenient for marching, but also can go straight to the center of power in Guiyang County." ”

However, as soon as his words fell, Huan Jie suddenly smiled and said: "Lord, in fact, it seems that Sun Taishou should also be notified of this matter, so that after Wang Rui retreats, he will send troops from the north, in this way, the troops will be stronger, and it will also be very conducive to surrendering!" ”

"Hmmm! Good idea! Wang Xu nodded suddenly. It's just that he had actually decided to inform Sun Jian a long time ago, but not to help him surrender, but because he couldn't eat alone. He persuaded Sun Jian to withdraw his troops before, and now he gives him the credit that belongs to him, so that he can always maintain a good relationship.

Seeing that the big thing had been decided, Wang Xu didn't drag his feet, and immediately smiled: "Okay!" In that case, then you will return to your duties and send out your troops at six o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"No!" With the sound of the order, all the civil officials suddenly got up slowly and left.

Seeing this, Wang Xu looked back at Wang Kai and said, "Big brother, you will write a letter to Sun Jian on my behalf immediately." You should understand the meaning, right? ”

"Huh! Could it be that in the third brother's heart, I am so unbearable? Hearing this, Wang Kai couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahh This ......" Wang Xu was blocked like this, but he didn't know what to say. smiled, and changed the topic: "This expedition is different from the last time, it is more at the strategic level, with the purpose of recruiting surrender, so I also hope that the generals must remember to strictly follow the orders in the process of fighting, and do not make their own decisions!" ”

"No!" The generals immediately surrendered.

"Alright, you all go down and prepare. Zhang Jing, Zhou Zhi stay! ”

With Wang Xu's words, all the generals got up and left quickly. It wasn't until he watched everyone leave that Zhou Zhi suddenly regained that hippie smile: "Boss, what's the matter?" ”

"The main purpose of this expedition is to plot against Guiyang. Zhou Zhi, you are sociable, and you may be asked to come forward for many things. ”

"Boss, don't worry, I'm the best at this. Coercion or inducement, it's easy to come! Zhou Zhi suddenly said proudly.

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly shook his head with a wry smile: "Whatever you want!" In short, you almost understand what I mean, and the conditions are just for you to look at. The main thing you have to do this time is the Zhang family, be sure to take down Zhang Xian for me, you can prepare well! ”

"Hmmm! No problem. Zhou Zhi suddenly smiled and nodded.

Knowing that although Zhou Zhi was not serious on the surface, he was as careful as a hair, Wang Xu didn't say more, but Zhang Jing's matter made Wang Xu a little uneasy, and he turned his head cautiously after contemplating for a long time: "Zhang Jing, this time I want you to be the pioneer alone!" ”

"Boss? Are you serious? Zhang Jing was immediately overjoyed.

"Hmmm! You've never led a single army, and the only time you've led an army with Han Meng is when you're in charge, so this time I want you to give it a try. Wang Xu nodded.

"Boss, don't worry, I am familiar with military books and will never go on a business trip!" Zhang Jing suddenly patted his chest and smiled heartily.

Seeing him like this, Wang Xu was very uneasy, and hesitated: "I know your ability, but after all, this is your first time commanding the army, I hope you are still cautious." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Jing nodded solemnly.

"Then I won't say more, is 2,500 enough?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhi's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Boss, you are too partial!" The total number of troops on the expedition is only 6,000, and Zhang Jing is only 2,000 and a half as a vanguard, which is unreasonable! ”

Zhang Jing also immediately shook his head: "Boss, if there are not so many, according to the convention, a maximum of 1,500 people is enough." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was a little hesitant, and he didn't know why, Wang Xu had always been very uneasy about Zhang Jing. Although I know Zhang Jing's ability, I haven't seen anything wrong, but in my speech and demeanor, I always feel that I am very superstitious about the art of war, and I am also overconfident.

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "That's it! After all, you are leading troops for the first time, and I think I will give you 2,000 men, of course, counting your own 200 parts. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu couldn't help but add: "But you have to remember that in this expedition to Guiyang, the role of the vanguard is very unusual, almost all of them are you rushing in front." The army is more of a deterrent, so don't be brutal and use more tactics! ”

"Don't worry! Boss, I understand, I don't joke with the lives of my brothers. ”

"Then you go down and prepare, remember, study the map more, estimate what might happen."

"Hmmm! I'll go. Zhang Jing smiled and nodded, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Zhou Zhi looked at Zhang Jing's back, but couldn't help but laugh: "Hey! Zhang Jing is finally looking forward to this day. ”

Wang Xu also smiled slightly: "Hehe! It's just a matter of time, Zhang Jing is a good material for leading soldiers, but I'm not always very at ease with him. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi suddenly touched his chin in an old-fashioned manner: "If jade is not sharpened, iron cannot be sharpened, steel cannot be practiced, and the boss should not protect us too much." ”

Looking at Zhou Zhi's nondescript appearance, Wang Xu suddenly glanced at him angrily: "You don't necessarily have a good character, your merit book, Tian Feng has already told me many times that it is not detailed enough." ”

"Huh...... This one...... Hey? Boss, look, it's a great day! How about we go out and write poetry? ”

"Roll ......"
