The southeast theater is actually the theater between Surabaya Pass and Tiger Prison Pass. This area does not belong to the three major mountain systems, but has an independent mountain system. Just because the distance between the two passes is too short, this mountain system is not as famous as the three major mountain systems.

But because of its proximity to the two levels, it has the most oil and water, and it has also become the place with the most robbers. The reason why Wang Jin sent me here is that he hopes that I can get more military exploits here.

In addition, although one of my Biao troops has a naval army, numbering about 1,300 people, this amount of strength is not suitable for suppressing bandits in the Yellow River. After all, the river surface is very open, and with this limited force, it is simply not enough to form an encirclement and suppression of the water thieves.

Therefore, Wang Jin divided the southeast battle to me, in fact, he assigned me the most suitable and fattest place. And several generals (the commanders of the division) already understood my significance in this crackdown on bandits as early as when I made a report, and no one was willing to rob me.

Even if I wanted to, even if I didn't make meritorious service, someone would give me a lot of credit at that time. This is a long-term investment, if you are not smarter, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain. Don't you hear that Feng Tang is easy to be old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal.

Of course, Wang Jin can't let me take a biao to suppress the bandits. Although my rank and rank are restricted, there is a mystery in the appointment of the battlefield commander.

Wang Jin gave an order to each of the three divisions attacking the mountainous area to transfer one battalion of troops to me, and I became the actual commander of these three battalions. The ranks and ranks have not changed, but the real power is there.

In other words, when I sent out my troops, in fact, there were actually as many troops under my command as the three divisions attacking the mountainous areas. In the middle of these three battalions, I included my own battalion. This was the same as the imperial court system at that time.

The history of the assassin is as big as the county order, but it can govern a state. It is not at all surprising that I, the commander-in-chief, became the commander-in-chief of three battalions.

Of course, the first major event after taking office as commander-in-chief was to visit the commander of the battalion where he was located. The general of my own division had already given the order, and when I arrived, the commander welcomed me in with great enthusiasm.

And the enthusiasm of the commander, of course, is not only because he has to be under my command this time, but more importantly, this is the opportunity God has given him.

You must know that as a cutting-edge officer personally recommended by Zhang Rang, so far, the ones who have had the most contact with me are Wang Jin and our captain. Others, including the generals, have a relationship with me that is not even as good as my subordinates.

And now, through this crackdown on bandits, this commander will become the third person in addition to Wang Jin and the school captain. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The commander's name is Li Yan, and he is a first-class military general, unlike the ten ministers under my command, he is a real first-class military general, the same as Tang Xing and Wanyi.

This unlucky guy was even more unlucky than Wang Jin, and he stayed in the position of commander of the forbidden army for five years. It was his best chance in five years.

Li Yan didn't say much, he repeated the same meaning over and over again, and resolutely obeyed the command. At the same time, in order to enhance my combat strength, he also sent all the five most elite biao in the whole battalion to me, and I directly commanded them.

So my actual direct force now has actually reached two institutes, and they are all absolute elites.

When Wang Jin came out, the other two generals who were in charge of transferring troops to me had already asked me about the report of one of their respective battalions, and they were all clear about the details.

In doing so, it was clear that I was waiting for the two battalions to report for duty. This is also an opportunity for them, and they have to compete for performance at this time.

Therefore, Li Yan's order to transfer troops has just been passed down, and the two commanders have already arrived. After arriving, the attitude was the same as Li Yan's, that is, respectful, respectful, and respectful.

These two guys are also first-class generals, their names are Deng Wei and Deng Qiang, and after Li Yanyi said it, I knew that these two guys were really brothers. After a show of loyalty, I told the two fellows to go back at once and get ready, waiting for the order to go out.

And at this time, the deputy commander of the battalion and the battalion pioneer had also come in. As my immediate superiors, this is also their only chance to show their loyalty.

And when Deng Wei and Deng Qiang saw them coming in, they couldn't help but come back to report, and their deputy commanders and battalion pioneers also wanted to come in and chat with the commander-in-chief. I also pushed the boat down the river, and met these four people by the way.

The commanders are all first-level generals with peak strength, and the deputy commanders and battalion pioneers are the middle-to-upper strength of first-level generals. So in a short period of time, I have seen nine first-level generals, and all of them are above the middle and upper levels.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the forbidden army is the forbidden army, this is only an army, and I have seen so many first-class generals in a short period of time. And under my command, there are only three first-class generals at present: Ma Yan, Tang Xing, and Wanyi.

As for those first-level generals who have been promoted because of [Famous General], I directly filtered them. There will be more and more generals of this kind in the future, and the real scarcity is still the natural one.

And after greeting these people, I also said goodbye to Li Yan and went back to inspect my direct troops. Li Yan's order was for the five Biao Commanders to report directly to my station with their own soldiers. So when I came back, the five chiefs had already arrived.

In the same way, they also especially brought Deputy Biao and Biao Xianfeng with them, after all, everyone is brothers, and they should try their best to fight for this kind of opportunity.

Biao Chang is the middle and lower strength of the first-class generals, and the deputy and the pioneer are both the primary strength of the first-class generals. So, I saw fifteen more first-class generals. With the addition of the previous nine, it is already 24.

After briefly reiterating Li Yan's order, and continuing to contact the relationship by the way, I asked these chiefs to go back and prepare as usual.

Next, I thought about it for a while, and decided to discuss it with the three battalion commanders, deputy commanders, and battalion pioneers. After all, this campaign against bandits has a bearing on everyone's future, and it must be fought well.

This is true for them, and it is not true for me. Zhang Rang fought for this opportunity, not for Wang Jin, but mostly for me. Even if I can win a battle, he will be easy to talk to the emperor.

Soon the three commanders, the three deputy commanders, and the three battalion pioneers all arrived, and when they saw me again, the nine fellows were overjoyed. You must know that there is a time limit for suppressing bandits, and every time you meet me, it is a rare opportunity for them.

The purpose of finding them is to figure out how to fight the war. And first of all, it is to understand the intelligence. After all, I was airborne from Jingzhou, and I am still a guy who is often in Luoyang, so I am more familiar with things in this area.

After talking about my intentions, we exchanged ideas and found that Feng Yu, the deputy commander of Deng Qiang's battalion, was most familiar with the intelligence in this area. So everyone quieted down and listened to Feng Yu's explanation. Eventually, everyone finally understood the situation in this area.

In the entire southeast district, there are as many as 3 million thieves large and small. The number of people is large, reaching more than 200,000, and the number of people is small, there are also 10,000 or 20,000. After all, under the roots of the imperial city, unlike other places, without considerable strength, he can't be a robber.

So there are probably dozens of robber hills in this area.

Hearing this, I asked the quartermaster to fetch a map of the area and hang it on the wall. It is up to Feng Yu to mark the icons of each cottage, so that there is an intuitive impression.

After marking, Feng Yu also told everyone some trails that no one knew by the way, and Feng Yu also marked them one by one on the map. Then the situation map of the entire theater of operations will be clear at a glance.

And after looking at the map, everyone was speechless for a moment. Because it is obvious that this time our target for bandits is all the cottages, a total of 3 million people. But the strength we bringed, that is, three battalions, was less than 200,000 troops.

Using 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress 3 million, although the forbidden army is brave and good at fighting, it is also a difficult task to complete. First of all, these robbers are like the little rabbit monsters I fought at the beginning, and before you hit someone, they will run away. When you catch up with someone, the daylily is cold.

The only way is to fence it up and fight slowly. But 200,000 surrounds 3 million, which can only be a joke.

I looked around, and everyone had a sad face, but Feng Yu looked confident. I had a bottom in my heart. In fact, in this situation, I can fight myself. I just don't know if Feng Yu's thoughts are the same as mine.

"Deputy Commander Feng, it seems that you are more sure of the situation, can you tell everyone how to fight this battle?"

Feng Yu was overjoyed when he heard my words. Asking him to introduce information earlier has already made him out of the limelight. Originally, if I didn't ask, he would have volunteered to speak. Now I see that I took the initiative to ask him, and the effect is even better than his own design.

I saw Feng Yu take out a small wooden stick from his arms and stand in front of the map. And when I saw Feng Yu's wooden stick pointing to one of the places on the map, my eyes immediately lit up, and I knew that Feng Yu and I wanted to go together.
