The main body of the rebels is the people who do not have enough to eat, but the backbone of the rebels is the bandits and bandits or the armed forces of local landlords.

Many soldiers turned into bandits themselves after encountering the rebels, and they could still surrender when they met the imperial army again. In the past, when the official army suppressed local rebellions, these two-faced people would basically be connived up, but Liu Yu didn't want to do such an unprincipled thing.

Liu Yu instructed Yang Lie: "Investigate in detail among these people, the ordinary people will be dismissed on the spot, and all the officials and soldiers who are the Weicheng officials will be sent to the prison first, and then they will be dealt with after the rebellion is quelled!" ”

Liu Yu just wants to put on such a posture, as long as the local government does not resist and condone the rebels into the city, even if he repents afterwards, he will be settled by the autumn queen. The connivance of local regimental training exacerbated the spread of the rebellion to a certain extent.

The army was ready to rest for a day in the city, and the first thing to do was to restore the basic administration of the city.

The Dongshui Battalion led by Dong Shu was ordered to besiege the city, but it had not yet arrived. In Dong Shu's opinion, the high city of Weicheng is steep, and it will take at least three or two days to conquer it, and he still commands to clear the surrounding rebellion while obeying the order to move closer to Weicheng. There is also no siege baggage, which is also what troubles the Eastern Water Army.

Unexpectedly, the army marched into the city within a day.

The Dongshui Army entered the north of Weicheng on the eighth night of the first month of September, and the counterinsurgency army expanded to more than 10,000 people. However, since the counterinsurgency forces are a fragmented integration of various armies, there are still problems in coordination. In addition to the main marshal Liu Yu and the deputy marshal Xu Xuanzhu, there are more than a dozen generals in front of the tent, except for Yang Lie, Lan Jing and Dong Shu, Liu Yu does not know anyone else.

The eighth night of the first month of September was also the first time that the army was raised.

The tent was crowded with people, both men and women, and it was the first time that the female army and the regular army had fought together. Coach Xu Xuanzhu, most of the generals have heard of it. As for Xu cauliflower. More people have heard of it. It's not because of how good her ability to govern the army is, but because of her powerful lethality. The rear army of the female army led by Xu Caihua also arrived after the counterinsurgency army entered the city, so it also missed the opportunity to attack the city. Newly married Yan'er, she didn't seem to enjoy the married life very much, and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the army to fight.

"Uncle, where is the next battle?" Xu Caihua was the first to speak after the account, and Liu Yuzhi said that she came here to take the lead, which was completely a violent maniac and a war maniac.

"It's not good to say this handsome." Liu Yu opened the military picture. "Why don't you discuss it with the generals."

The generals in front of the tent in the big tent looked at each other, as soldiers, they had always been accustomed to acting according to orders, and how to obey them according to the instructions from above. Tactically, the military department commanded the marshal, the marshal commanded the general, and the general was responsible for charging into battle. The generals of the Dashun Dynasty at the rank of military commander and above have a high prestige in the court, such as the Marquis of Dingguo, who is arbitrary and does not like his subordinates to interject, which makes this atmosphere of upward and downward effect very heavy.

Upgrades in the past. At most, the marshal only asks about military intelligence. Now that Liu Yu is the commander, he actually asked his subordinates to discuss the strategy of sending troops. This made the generals feel very unaccustomed.

Xu Caihua slapped the table with a big grin, took out an attitude of comparing with others, and said: "These are the people of the Dashun Dynasty, who dare to rebel if they don't keep their duty!?" There is still something to discuss, let me lead a large army to annihilate them, a hundred. ”

Liu Yu sighed helplessly in his heart, it seems that Xu Caihua is only suitable for being a pioneer and not a marshal, her wisdom is almost zero, she is stupid and very impulsive, and her husband Wang Hu at home will definitely be bullied. At this point, Xu Xuanzhu seems to be very knowledgeable and more stable.

"Then which city is General Xu going to attack first?" Liu Yu asked, pointing to the military map.

"Let's ...... first" Xu Caihua's eyes dizzy when she looked at the military map, raised her head and smiled embarrassedly, "In the past, the general said that he would attack whichever he wanted, but now ...... Uncle, you said, I Xu cauliflower is absolutely unambiguous! ”

Liu Yu listened to her talking as if he was listening to nonsense, and at this time he looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think of the next step in the march?" ”

There are so many generals in front of the tent, and they can also take charge on their own on weekdays, and now they have no confidence in the front of the army.

Yang Lie had a little insight and was also familiar with Liu Yu's personality, so he broke the silence and said: "From the perspective of his subordinates, it is better to recapture the lost city from west to east, from north to south. Lift the rebellion in the east first, and then head south. ”

Liu Yu nodded, what Yang Lie said was a general routine, and now it is in this order. It's just that there are a lot of details to nitpick.

"What General Yang said also makes sense." Liu Yu affirmed, "However, with our current baggage, if we want to forcibly attack the city, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and it is likely to encounter a situation where the front city is not under the fall and the back city is lost." After all, there are only a handful of cities as self-defeating as Victoria. ”

Only then did the generals feel the pressure on the road ahead.

Although the counterinsurgency army is above the rebels in terms of strength and combat effectiveness, the city is now in the hands of the enemy, and as long as the rebels hold the city, it will be difficult for the rebel army to break through the city. At present, it is still difficult or unrealistic to create siege baggage.

"The besieged city may be fine."

After Yang Lie took the lead in expressing his opinion, a military general also put forward his own opinion.

It was Dong Shu's subordinate who spoke, the general of the Dongshui Battalion, named Su Yunshao, who was stained with royal blood.

"The siege may be possible, but it will take a long time." Liu Yu said, "We want to fight as quickly as possible." ”

Liu Yu put forward a request, not only to capture the city, but also to fight quickly. This is very difficult for the present situation, every general feels the pressure, and the promotion of the emotional marshal is a problem for everyone.

Originally, Liu Yu planned to gather everyone's brains to think about problems, which was also his habit, and he hoped that the people around him could give him ideas. But this question is too difficult for anyone to answer.

Liu Yu sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, find the main force of Fucheng and have a decisive battle to disintegrate the main force of the Fucheng rebel army as soon as possible." ”

Nowadays, this is the only way to do it. Once a light force advances, it is very likely that they will be harassed to varying degrees in the rear, which is the disadvantage of a long drive. But this is the best way to quickly resolve the battle.

The main force of the Fucheng rebels was in Suicheng in the south-east, and once it was decided to find the main force of the rebels for a decisive battle, they had to be prepared to fight alone without backup support.

The controversy did not last long, the two armies were merged into one army, and the camp was still stationed separately.

Liu Yu stared at the military map alone in the big tent for a while, and was feeling a little tired to rest, when he suddenly felt a black shadow outside the tent shaking and jumping.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Yu carried his sword to the outside of the tent and found that Huo was ill who had only joined the counterinsurgency yesterday. Dressed in a military uniform, holding a halberd dangling at the door.

"Who asked me to be a halberd guard here, not standing here?" Huo Yi was reprimanded by Liu Yu, and shouted unconvinced.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Liu Yuxin said that if he does not accept his wildness, something will definitely happen in the future.

"Come in!"

Liu Yu snorted and waved his hand to let Huo Yi into the camp. (To be continued......)
