From small to big, Junan County and Lingyang Town are a microcosm. The Red Jacket Army swarmed in the Central Plains, with great momentum, but in the end it was broken and extinguished one by one by the Jin Army. On the contrary, they are not convinced by each other, and conflicts and fires occur from time to time.

At this time, Mu Yi and the others had already cleaned up the other scoundrels, and also grabbed the two living ones, and came to the back house one after another, standing beside and behind Meng Jiucheng.

Although Ma Si was hit by an arrow and did not die for a while, the blood kept flowing. Nestled on the cold ground, it was cold weather again, and I was begging for mercy just now. At this time, it was already curled up in a ball, teeth fighting, and words could not be spoken.

Seeing Ma Si's dying appearance, Meng Jiucheng was conflicted in his heart, and he couldn't do it for a while.

Mu Yi frowned, rolled his eyes, approached the big ugly, pouted at Ma Sinu, and said in a low voice: "Ninety percent will leave you in the village to sit in the village, and kill this guy Liwei, who else dares not to listen to you?" ”

He hated Ma Si deeply, traveled south and north, read countless people, and knew that people like Ma Si seemed pitiful, but they were not lambs like ordinary people, but injured jackals, and if they were not removed at this time, it would be a disaster.

The big clown blinked, feeling justified. Although he also has ideals and wants to be a general, he has always had some inferiority. First, his strength is not as great as Qiao E's, and second, he doesn't know any martial arts, his ability is limited, and he is afraid that he will not be valued by Meng Jiucheng, so he is competing to be the first to perform everywhere.

Hey, just when Meng Jiucheng hesitated and everyone was waiting for him to speak, the big clown let out a spear without warning and stabbed into Ma Si's neck.

Blood splattered, Ma Si didn't snort, his head tilted, and his already godless eyes quickly dimmed.

Meng Jiucheng was also stunned for a moment, but only looked up at the big ugly. He pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded his head faintly, waved his hand, motioned to carry the body away, and then turned around and beckoned the others to search the house for safety. He also asked Mu Yi to go to the entrance of the village, meet the five people, and stay in Zhao Si's house to block the escape of the fish that slipped through the net.

The information obtained from Ma Sikou was extremely useful to Meng Jiucheng, and it turned out that Liu Wenzheng's worries about Lingyang Town had also been reduced a lot. But Meng Jiucheng knew that his movements had to be accelerated, and while Liu Wenzheng didn't notice it, he took advantage of Ma Si to stir up panic in several villages, and entangled a team as quickly as possible.

As for Wang Dahu, Zhao Si, Wei Hao, and the rich landlords in other villages, Meng Jiucheng didn't plan to save them, but he didn't plan to kill them either. Starting from the interests of the majority of the people, Meng Jiucheng must also use their property to buy people's hearts.

In terms of the more popular theories of later generations, Meng Jiucheng wanted to fight local tyrants, divide the land, rob the rich and help the poor, seek welfare for the poor ordinary people, and even more dominate the world for himself......

The lights and candles in the house are bright, and the gold and silver treasures, land deeds and leases, as well as the large hoards of grain, have now become Meng Jiucheng's fortune capital. As for Wang Dahu, he had lost half his life, and Meng Jiucheng did not kill him, and designated a small house for him and his family, and left ten acres of land and some grain.

Meng Jiucheng has already chosen the class to fight for, rely on and serve, so it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to Wang Dahu, everyone takes care of them, so that they have no complaints, he can't do it.

Mu Yi has been replaced by the big ugly, and the guards at the entrance of the village have also increased their manpower, so Meng Jiucheng can basically rest assured. So, he had to counsel with this trustworthy man.

Although Liu Wenzheng is busy recruiting troops and buying horses, he will not give up if he gets rid of Ma Si. Otherwise, his prestige will be damaged, how can he be this boss? ”

Regarding Mu Yi's analysis and concern, Meng Jiucheng did not fully agree with it in his heart. After this assault battle, he gained a deeper understanding of the rabble. If the strength of the army is measured by the strength of the population, then how did the Red Jacket Rebel Army, which now has a total of hundreds of thousands, be defeated by the counterattack of the Jin Army?

…… But knowing how to attack, not good at management, like a rogue; The food and salary are not self-sufficient, and they do not know the art of war; plundering the property of people's wives and daughters, only knowing how to take it from others, but not to raise it from the people; The lack of strategy for the generals, the lack of training for the soldiers, and the battle is like a group fight; Gather when you win, and scatter birds and beasts when you lose; This rebel army and the other rebel army were suspicious of each other, sometimes descending and sometimes rebelling, attacking each other......

Historically, Meng Jiucheng was clear about the shortcomings and defects of the vast majority of peasant armies. Therefore, he did not think that Liu Wenzheng would have any professional military knowledge and any capable staff or generals.

In other words, in terms of quantity, no matter how much Meng Jiucheng tosses, he will not surpass Liu Wenzheng. But with the newly recruited soldiers around Lingyang Town, Liu Wenzheng will not exceed 2,000 men at most, and there are intrigues and rivalries inside, beware of each other, how can they work together when fighting?

Of course, it is best to avoid this early conflict. But Meng Jiucheng can't take it for granted, he must consider the worst and try his best to prepare for it.

"Show weakness first, see if you can replace Ma Si and temporarily succumb to Liu Wenzheng's troops." Meng Jiucheng had actually thought of a way a long time ago, although it was not completely and not very sure, "Even if it doesn't work, it will make them despise it, and it is unlikely that the whole division will attack." There are fewer people coming, and we may not have no chance of winning. ”

"What about winning? Can Liu Wenzheng take a break? Mu Yi turned the teacup and shook his head slightly.

"It's best to be able to give up, if we still have to fight, we have already bought a lot of time, won't we develop and grow?" Meng Jiucheng grinned and said: "After dawn, let's settle this village first, and then go to the front car Yu and the back car Yu, Ma Si has already gathered wealth, let's help him take it all." ”

"Three villages—" Mu Yi thought for a moment and said, "The total population together is more than a thousand people?" How many soldiers are you going to recruit? ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "Winning a war doesn't depend on the number of soldiers. There is also organization and training, weapons and equipment, as well as the level of command, the rise and fall of morale. ”

Mu Yi looked at Meng Jiucheng thoughtfully, and smiled slightly for a while, "Since you have thought it through, then I will do our best to help." ”

"Brother Mu's most important task is to train soldiers." Meng Jiucheng poured tea for Mu Yi with a pot and said: "Brother Mu's hard work a few days ago has paid off today. ”

"With you and Qiao E being brave in front, a group of scoundrels is naturally not a problem." Mu Yi expressed his modesty in Meng Jiucheng's exaggeration, thought about it carefully, and said, "Okay, thanks to your affordability, I will continue to do it." When you have more familiar with the manpower of the battle array, you must replace it. WeChat public: meinvgu123 (long press for three seconds to copy) You know and I understand!
