After finishing all the chores, it was almost dusk. Liu He then sent an order to let the soldiers camp in the valley, and set up light and dark sentry posts at both ends of the valley, which also saved the cumbersome hands and feet such as setting up camps and digging trenches.

The only downside may be that this place has only experienced two killings during the day, and the bloody smell that permeates the valley has not had time to completely dissipate, not to mention the hundreds of headless corpses buried behind the hills not far away.

However, such an environment is not very harsh for the veterans of Shenxi and the soldiers of the Qu family, and the only ones who will feel a little scared and frightened are these recruits in the Shenxi army.

Liu He wanted to take every opportunity to train these recruits from tenant farms, because he knew that these recruits were highly malleable and would be the most resolute force to carry out his orders in the future, so they had to be trained strictly.

Liu He's camp was located on a relatively soothing dirt slope, and the surrounding view was very open, with soldiers of the Shen Xi Army stationed everywhere on the periphery, and Qu family's troops stationed on the other side of the dirt slope.

Xian Yuyin originally arranged a large amount of firewood in the valley, intending to set a fire when the troops of the Zhao family and the Jing family rushed in, but the two families did not act together, and they had an advantage in terms of troops, so they did not take this vicious method of "burning Feng Jiayu" in the end.

Once the team settled, the firewood came in handy.

Liu He had the ten most seriously injured horses killed, then the meat was divided and the soldiers roasted the horse meat around a bonfire. Although horse meat is not as delicious as beef and mutton, it is also meat, and it can be regarded as a big meal compared to the millet grains that soldiers usually eat.

That is, these war horses really can't survive, otherwise Liu He wouldn't dare to kill horses and eat meat in such a luxurious and wasteful way.

The blazing bonfires were lit one by one, and the temperature in the valley, which was already somewhat cold, rose a lot, and the soldiers went to sleep after a hard day's work, and after eating horse meat, they all went to sleep, leaving only some of the personnel who were in charge of patrolling at night to still operate outside the tents.

A fire was also lit outside Liu He's tent, and he called Xian Yuyin, Tian Chou, Deng Hai and Chen Gui to sit in a small circle around him, and then began to summarize today's battle situation and discuss tomorrow's plan of action. Qu Gang injured his shoulder and fell asleep after applying the medicine. Qu Meng, as Liu He's attendant, was allowed to sit on the side and listen.

There should be a meeting before the war and a summary meeting after the war, which is also a new rule that Liu He recently set.

Liu He doesn't think he is an omniscient and omnipotent genius, so he can only concentrate everyone's wisdom and suggestions and choose the best plan to implement it. Although the proverb "three stinkers, race over Zhuge Liang" will not be heard until later generations, teamwork is the best practice that Liu He can think of at present.

After Liu He came to this plane, he hadn't made any fatal mistakes for the time being, but he understood that these were all temporary. Intuition told him that when he passed through Wuguan a few days ago, Jia Xu who happened to meet was definitely a very terrible character, and even Duan Xuan himself was not as mediocre and incompetent as described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In order to deal with the two small local tyrant families in the small Sanhu Pavilion, Liu He has felt a little exhausted these days, if he is allowed to deal with big people like Duan Xuan and Jia Xu now, he will definitely die; If he is asked to deal with Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, the big warlords with countless fierce men, then he will immediately choose to cross again!

"Summing up today's two battles, I don't think we have done enough in three areas. The first problem is that the transmission of information between the teams is not timely enough, and there is still a disconnect in the action. The second problem is the lack of ability to respond to emergencies, and when we find that the enemy does not appear according to our expectations, we will be scrambling. The third problem is the simplicity of the treatment of wounded soldiers, which increases the number of casualties. ”

Liu He expressed his opinion, then looked at everyone and said: "You also put out your own opinions, talk less about the achievements, and more check the shortcomings." ”

Tian Chou opened his mouth and said: "I think that the current allocation of various forces is not appropriate, there are too few troops such as archers who can strike from a distance, and the charging force similar to the death squad is also insufficient. ”

Liu He nodded, agreeing with Tian Chou's opinion.

Xian Yuyin said: "I don't think the sense of mutual cooperation between the soldiers is enough, except for the Xiliang veterans who have a small range of offensive and defensive cooperation, the rest of the teams are rushing up in a swarm when they encounter the enemy, and if they encounter a strong opponent, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties." ”

"That's a good point, it's true!" Liu He said approvingly.

"Lord, can I say a few words as well?" Deng Hai asked in a low voice with some humility.

"Hehe, of course. I called you and Chen Gui over, but I didn't invite you two to eat the horse meat sprinkled with salt grains! Liu He made a little joke with a look of encouragement on his face.

Deng Hai silently organized the sentence in his heart, and then said cautiously: "I think that there can actually be fewer deaths today." Before we do this, why not arrange for some people to shout loudly to the enemy, saying that we will not kill the soldiers who have laid down their arms and surrendered, so that the morale and fighting spirit of some of the enemy can be broken. ”

Liu He secretly shouted in his heart, and he couldn't believe that Deng Hai actually thought of the very important means of "disintegrating the enemy army" on the battlefield.

"Excellent! Surrendering without a fight has always been the best policy. In today's second battle, if Qu Gang is not in a hurry to lead his team to rush up and fight with the Jing family, first transfer the Shen Xi army from the rear to the front to strengthen the prestige of our army, and then arrange soldiers to preach the policy of not killing and surrendering our army, the battle will definitely be easier, and the casualties on his own side will inevitably be reduced a lot! ”

After listening to Liu He's in-depth analysis, everyone nodded in agreement. Deng Hai, who put forward this opinion, was a little proud in his heart, and suddenly increased a lot of confidence.

Chen Gui saw that Deng Hai was praised by Liu He, and he was anxious, so he said without thinking: "Lord, I also have something to say!" I don't think we should stay in Fengjiayu tonight, but should take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the victory over the Zhao family and the Jing family, immediately let the soldiers change into the clothes of these two families, and go to open the fort gate overnight and kill them by surprise! ”

As soon as Chen Gui's words came out, the rest of the people suddenly secretly screamed in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads and didn't look at Liu He's face.

This is a blatant questioning of Liu He's command arrangement! Although Liu He is easy-going and has always disliked to oppress people with power, everyone has a backlash, Chen Gui questioned Liu He in front of everyone, with his current identity, it seems a little inappropriate.

Everyone was worried about whether Liu He would turn his face, so he quickly lowered his head and didn't look at Liu He's embarrassed appearance.

As soon as Chen Gui finished speaking, he saw some strange eyes from everyone, especially Deng Haizheng desperately squeezing his eyes at him, and suddenly a thrill in his heart made him want to slap himself a few big mouths.

Liu He took in everyone's expressions, a little funny in his heart, and then opened his mouth and laughed.

"Ha Luha, everyone takes care of my face! I'm so hungry that I can't listen to other people's criticism and questioning? I think I may not have any other advantages as a person, but I can still do it by humbly listening to different opinions, and you can test this in the future. ”

"Chen Gui, don't worry, what you just said is very good! It's nice to be able to ask questions like this to show that you've successfully switched identities and started thinking as a soldier and not as a tenant! Presumably more than one person has such a question as Chen Gui, right? I will now give you a satisfactory answer. ”

"Actually, I also thought of this strategy, the reason why I didn't order the troops to attack the Zhao family and the Qu family in one go tonight is that in addition to considering the fatigue of the soldiers in continuous combat, and the large number of soldiers suffering from night blindness, the most important thing is that I am waiting for a reinforcement to arrive!"

"This support soldier is the strength of the armed forces entrenched in the area of Fengxiang City, I have sent someone to get in touch with them, and the other party intends to cooperate with us, and agreed to send at least 1,000 troops this time to help us attack Qujiabao and Jingjiabao."

"In today's two battles, our side did achieve a big victory, but have you ever thought that in these two battles we not only occupied the advantage of terrain, but also occupied the advantage of morale and physical strength, and at the same time we also had the advantage of local troops. Once we go to attack Zhaojiabao and Jingjiabao, all the advantages I listed earlier will disappear! ”

"Don't think that we now have more than 700 people in the two divisions, but there are only more than 400 soldiers who can really fight, and with less than 500 people to attack the Zhao family and the Jing family in Goushen Fort, it is tantamount to suicide. Chen Gui was able to think of letting the army change into the clothes of the Zhao family and the Jing family, and take advantage of the night to go to the door to deceive, which shows that he also took into account these unfavorable factors in front of him. ”

"However, no one can guarantee that any plan will be absolutely feasible until it is successful. If our plan is discovered by the Zhao family, what will we do next? Assault now? Or retreat to safety? ”

"Knowing that there is a large reinforcement on the way, why should we rush to take the risk? Taking a step back, even if we take the lead and succeed in defrauding the door and attacking the Zhaojia Fort, who dares to say that the Zhaojia family will not launch a sworn counterattack when facing the catastrophe of annihilation? In this way, even if we take the dock fort of the Zhao family or the Jing family, it will be a lot of casualties. When the gang of strongmen from Fengxiang City arrive, what strength do you think we have to guard against and contain them? ”

"Therefore, in line with the highest principle of preserving oneself and destroying the enemy, the matter of this dead man will be handed over to the gang in Fengxiang City to do, and even if they attack Zhaojiawu Fort and Jingjiawu Fort first, at most they will plunder the floating wealth stored in the fort, but the greatest wealth of the Zhao family and the Jing family must be left to us!"

"Chen Gui, what do you say is the greatest wealth of the Zhao family and the Jing family?"

"My lord, yes...... It's a big piece of land! ”

"Yes, wow! Let's calculate the Zhao family and the Jing family, aren't we just going for their land! As long as everyone has land, why should they worry about no food in the future? No wealth? You must remember that in these troubled times, the most precious thing is neither gold nor silver jewelry, nor fields and houses, but armies with weapons! ”

"Without peasants, you can't feed your own army! You can't protect the food you grow without an army! So, if you want to survive, you have to be armed peasants who are half peasants and half army! When someone comes to snatch us, we take up arms and fuck them! When no one provokes us, we bury our crops and store up for food! ”

Liu He's impassioned words made everyone feel a little deafening, everyone had never heard of such a clear and straightforward truth before, and even people from high backgrounds like Xian Yuyin and Tian Chou felt that Liu He's statement was tenable.

Just as everyone was following Liu He's inspiration and guidance and falling into contemplation, suddenly Wang Yue said loudly: "Childe, my big apprentice is back!" ”

"Oh, it seems that a friend from Fengxiang City has arrived!"

Liu and Huo Ran got up.
