“…… If compared with the regular army, there is a big gap between the Red Jacket Army in training, equipment, and command. Han Shouzhong continued, "But now that the Jin army is attacking Yang An'er's department, even if it wins, there are still large forces like Liu Erzu and Li Quan, and I feel that the impact on us will not be too great." At least, this year, the lowly government thinks that the big Jin army will not notice this Junan County. ”

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Meng Jiucheng knew the general trend of history, and the Jin army did adopt a strategy of breaking through the Red Jacket Army one by one. first called Yang An'er of the Wang system, and then Li Quan and Liu Erzu. However, a large number of the Red Jacket Army was defeated, and the Jin Army was unable to effectively control large areas of Shandong and Hebei.

"As long as there is time, even if it is only about half a year, with General Meng's strategy and the force of the Red Turban Army, it is not difficult to sweep away the whole county. There are nearly 10,000 horses in hand, in the troubled times, why not go away? After Han Shouzhong finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Jiucheng, and felt that he had seen extraordinary, but Meng Jiucheng only showed appreciation on his face, but there was no surprise.

I still don't understand my heart! What is not good, that is, whoever takes refuge must also be taken seriously, and will not suffer losses.

Meng Jiucheng smiled and praised: "What Captain Han said is very reasonable, and his knowledge and vision are beyond ordinary people. If you are good at doing it, Meng must rely on it. ”

"Yes!" Han Shouzhong replied respectfully, a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't know that his insights were nothing to Meng Jiucheng.

Meng Jiucheng asked a few more casual questions, and after making sure that the troops would be reorganized in three or five days, he knew what to expect, and turned around to leave.

Sweeping the surrounding area is an established plan, regardless of whether the surrounding landlords and local tyrants take refuge or not, they must hand over their hands and hand over the management of the place. Meng Jiucheng is not as expensive as Wednesday, he can't tolerate the arms and forces that are like separatism.

In the short term, Meng Jiucheng's identified enemies were Liu Wenzheng and Liu Tingyu, which were obstacles to his control of the county; In the long run, it is food that hinders the development and growth of the Red Turban Army. Yes, this is the only thing that can fill the belly.

And food, it does not mean that if you have people and land, you can cultivate and harvest.

Since the southern invasion of Mongolia in the fourth year of Jiading, the Huaihai area of Shandong Province has been ravaged by Mongolian iron cavalry, then by the swarming of the Red Jacket Army, and then by the harassment of the Jin Army. The people have been displaced, the land is barren, and in some places it is thousands of miles of red land, and the population is cut off. In such a situation, who still has the heart to farm with peace of mind?

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng must develop steadily and establish a solid base. Only with an army defending against the enemy can we have the strength to defend our territory and the people, and only then can we maintain and develop production, so that the army will have more adequate logistical support.

In the next few days, all the surrounding families sent people to come to pay their respects, and Meng Jiucheng also accepted with a smile, but he was ambiguous about each family's request to join him and maintain the status quo.

In addition to unifying the army and power, the food and materials they looted and hoarded were also necessary for Meng Jiucheng to obtain. Without these, how would Meng Jiucheng resettle the displaced people, expand the army, benefit the people, and buy people's hearts?

It's impossible to do everything and make everyone happy. Meng Jiucheng did not raid his house and destroy the door, but forcibly looted, he was already merciful.

For these stammers and temptations, Meng Jiucheng was a hypocrisy, just waiting for the reorganization of the troops to be completed. But if he was sent by the Liu family in Lingyang Town, he will pay attention to it.

Meng Jiucheng and Liu Hong gradually chatted with each other, said a few words of façade, and then sat down for tea and prepared to talk.

Liu Honggradually dressed like a scholar, he looked okay, he always had a faint smile on his face, and he was shaking a folding fan in his hand, as if he was very conceited about his talents.

Meng Jiucheng slandered in his heart, this is not summer, holding a broken fan, what kind of Sven is pretending, what is pretending to be cultured? But he is Liu Wenzheng's son, when he threw the stone lion into the pit, Liu Hongchuan was still relatively magnanimous, and he had to pretend to be polite.

There are also Mu Yi and Mr. Huang on the seat, Meng Jiucheng doesn't want to be too clever, anyway, they all know what they mean, don't be an enemy of the Liu family for the time being, and first stabilize the newly occupied territory.

"General Meng's soldiers pointed out, attacking everything, and defeated Zhou Gui in one fell swoop. My father specially ordered to come down to congratulate him, some gifts, and hope that General Meng would accept it with a smile. Liu Hong gradually arched his hand and said with a smile.

"What kind of general is not a general, I-" Meng Jiucheng waved his hand randomly, smiled, and swept his gaze over Mu Yi and the others, "They all want to call it that, saying that it is majestic." ”

"Lord Liu is polite." Mr. Huang arched his hand and replied on behalf of Meng Jiucheng: "On Wednesday, Gui levied and extorted violently, and in the fish and meat township, he repeatedly persecuted General Meng, urging him to pay taxes and food. For the sake of the people, General Meng angrily raised troops, hanged the people for crimes, and eliminated violence and peace. ”

Liu Hong blinked his eyes gradually and said: "Wednesday is expensive and greedy, increasing taxes, exploiting and oppressing, and I have heard of it below. Now that Wednesday Gui has been defeated, what is General Meng's next move? The current situation is unclear, and my father and Zai Xia think that it is best to move less and watch more and wait for the opportunity. ”

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone." Meng Jiucheng said in a rough voice: "If you can live a good life, eat and drink enough, who likes to use knives and guns, fight life and death?" ”

Mu Yi wanted to laugh and held back, and said in a deep voice: "General Meng means that Wednesday is defeated, and this place is naturally his master, and whoever robs it is the enemy." In addition, Lord Liu is well-informed, and his subordinates are full of talents, so he is naturally more accurate than us in looking at the situation. I also feel that the outcome of the battle in the north is unpredictable, and it is better to be quiet, and it is not too late to wait for the dust to settle and then make plans. ”

"General Meng is benevolent and righteous, and replacing Zhou Zhou Gui is a blessing for the local people, and my father is also in favor of it." Liu Hong nodded with a smile and said, "If you are well-informed, it is not bad." My father has sent someone to get in touch with the outside, and no matter what the victory or defeat of the two sides, they will never suffer. This is not just for the Liu family, but also for the local fathers and villagers, no one wants to experience war, right? ”

"It's best to avoid war." Mr. Huang nodded again and again, with a happy expression on his face, which was indeed what he hoped for, "Since Lord Liu is sure, let's only look forward to Lord Liu?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Meng Jiucheng.

Meng Jiucheng pretended to think about it, and waved his hand impatiently, "As long as Lord Liu doesn't lie and deceive, then listen to him." An army of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands can be defeated, what are our men? Do you want to bump into it?
