It is really a sinful thing to sit in a tent in chain mail on such a summer day. Chen Wu, whose underwear was completely soaked with sweat, was already angry. met Xu Maodian who insisted on refusing to let go, which suddenly made him a little annoyed.

However, he who has worked hard in "Empire" for thirteen years may have been an ordinary person when he first started the service. But after so many years of experience, his city government is no worse than Xu Maodian. Patience, he made a vague threat: "Even if the Good Friends Association has been operating in Longshan Mansion for many years, they can cooperate with the outside world, but what about after taking Longshan Mansion?" ”

"On the county seat of Wu'an, there are at least two garrison brigades, and a complete cavalry wing of 1,000 people. Without the help of our rebels, what will you good friends do? ”

Xu Maodian was not moved by Chen Wu's threat, and looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: "In the eyes of the officials and soldiers in the county town, whether it is our Good Friends Association or the general's righteous army, they are all anti-thieves. If our good friends will be defeated, the general's righteous army will be afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone, and the relationship between the two sides is cold and dead. What's more, if our Good Friends can't deal with it, the general has a way? ”

This is clearly a scoundrel, and he doesn't believe that Chen Wu can sit idly by.

Chen Wu snorted coldly and gave Xu Maodian an unexpected answer: "In the hands of this general, there is really a way to deal with the Wu'an officers and soldiers. Even if Qian Boming's First Garrison Brigade all arrived, he would be sure to leave them all behind. With this method, is it enough to take Dongcheng? ”

"Is that true?" Xu Maodian couldn't sit still a little and asked, "Is General Chen really sure that he will take Wu'an's garrison brigade?" ”

If this is really the case, then they can make a big wave this time.

Not to mention a single Longshan, even the entire Taiping County may be taken by them.

Chen Wu looked like he was in his chest: "Ben Jiang has never lied, what's more, if he is not sure enough, how can Ben Jiang be willing to create a righteous army?" ”

"Can you tell us one or two in advance?"

Xu Maodian was skeptical, not knowing whether to believe Chen Wu, but the latter didn't mean to speak, just smiled faintly, so that Xu Maodian was really not sure of his depth. After hesitating for a while, when Chen Wu made a promise that "the soldiers will naturally inform after they come to Longshan City", Xu Maodian nodded with difficulty and was forced to make concessions.

The two sides agreed that after capturing Longshan, the north-south central axis would be the boundary, and each side would occupy half of the city, of which the Taiping Righteous Army would want the eastern city. The other treasury affairs are divided equally and will not interfere with each other.

Of course, because Wang Huifang, the leader of the Good Friends Association, was not there, this agreement was only an intentional negotiation. You have to wait for the two sides to converge, gather at the foot of Longshan City, and swear a blood oath before they can truly form an alliance.

As the matter was negotiated, coupled with the faint fear that Chen Wu would regret turning his face, Xu Maodian was in a hurry to report the news to Wang Huifang under the pretext of a short pause, and then got up to say goodbye, and did not accept Chen Wu's banquet. In fact, Chen Wu was not in the mood to drink and enjoy himself now, so he just kept it for a while and let the other party go.

"Gather the soldiers and hold a meeting."

Seeing the group of people from the Good Friends Association go away, Chen Wu sighed with some regret - he couldn't get rid of the two of them quickly. Subsequently, he ordered his soldiers to recruit all the officers and soldiers of the Righteous Army, including all the captain-level leaders of the Volunteer Battalion and the Taiping Battalion, all of whom were called to the Chinese army tent.

Because the Good Friends Association finally chose to launch a rebellion in advance, Chen Wu considered an appropriate alliance with them, and Linxian County also because the Good Friends Association did not need to attack, the original established strategy had to be adjusted. Moreover, it is also necessary for Chen Wu to tell the righteous army what kind of organization the Good Friends Association is, so that they can take more precautions.

He didn't want his rebels to be messed up by cultists who pretended to be gods.

"Just now, we formed an alliance with the Good Friends!"

Looking at the leaders of the rebel army present, Chen Wu first announced the primary news.

It can be seen that the reactions of these rebel leaders are different. Some of them were puzzled, apparently not having heard of the name of the Good Friends Association; Some of them are sudden, probably because they have heard of some of them; There are also a few happy faces, but I don't know if they are simply happy because of the addition of an ally, or because they have a good impression of good friends, or even have heard of missions.

If it's the latter......

Chen Wu secretly observed the changes in the expressions of everyone in the tent, and wrote down the two captains who reacted a little suspiciously in his heart.

No one in his rebel army is allowed to have anything to do with the Good Friends.

After leaving a short time for them to digest the news, Chen Wu recounted the information about the Good Friends Association that he had introduced to Dian Yong and them before. After the leaders of the rebel army below had a certain understanding, he continued: "Because of the Good Friends Association, Linxian has been taken. Now, the rebels will change direction and go directly to the city of Longshan to join forces with the Good Friends to attack the city. ”

Attack the city!

Rao is rebel army has taken Yicheng and Lushan successively, and hearing Chen Wu's words, the leaders of the rebel army present are still excited.

It's a capital city, and it's a very famous city in the entire Taiping County!

Many of you have never been to Rhone Mountain in your life. When I heard that the rebels were going to target such a big city, I couldn't help but feel excited and looking forward to it.

"Next, I'll talk about a few new military regulations."

Patiently waiting for them to calm down, Chen Wu's tone turned cold, and he promulgated the rules for the Good Friends Association one by one.

First, the soldiers of the Rebels were not allowed to have private contact with the members of the Good Friends.

Second: Seeing that someone is spreading the Good Friends within the rebels, no matter who it is, they will all be arrested and beheaded.

Thirdly, no actions or information within the Rebels, whether confidential or not, should be disclosed to the Good Friends.

The last point is that the rebels will set up an intelligence department to be responsible for internal and external intelligence investigations.

If a force wants to become bigger, the importance of intelligence is undoubted. As early as the capture of Yicheng, Chen Wu had the idea of creating an intelligence department. It's just that there was a shortage of manpower at that time, and he was a time-traveling player, so he had enough understanding of the future development of the form, so he didn't rush it. But now, the emergence of the rebels and the early rebellion of the Good Friends have begun to affect history. Although the general trend of the world will not change lightly, the specific information on the local can no longer be fully trusted.

In this case, the formation of the intelligence service is logical.

What's more, out of vigilance against the Good Friends Association, the first task of the Intelligence Department after its establishment was to inspect and clean up the relations of the Good Friends Association throughout the army.

As for the head of the intelligence department, Chen Wu finally appointed Gan Xing after repeated consideration.

At this stage, the intelligence department does not need to be very competent, and loyalty is the most important thing.

From this point of view, Sun Tian, who has played together since childhood and has the grace to save his life, is actually very suitable, but Chen Wu also needs reliable henchmen in the army. Thinking about it this way, this homeless person from Ganding Mansion and Ganxing, who was the first to take refuge in him, has become a suitable choice at present.

In order to facilitate Gan Xing's intelligence department to set up a shelf, Chen Wu also allowed him to recruit people in the Taiping Camp and the Volunteer Battalion.

As for the scale, it doesn't need to be very big at this stage, you can take it slowly.

The generals of the rebel army who were called did not react in particular to the formation of the intelligence department, and it was clear that most of them did not have enough understanding of its importance and powers. However, from Chen Wu's military regulations against the Good Friends Association, they could know that the previous alliance was obviously not sincere. And this so-called ally looks more like a potential enemy.

Knowing this, they naturally know what to do when they go back.

………

The Friends Association, which is quite famous in Longshan, actually rebelled!

Just when Chen Wu was in alliance with Xu Maodian and Xianghua, he saw the big banner at the head of the city change from a distance, and the Longshan cavalry, who had been ordered to come regularly to exchange information, was shocked. Knowing that this matter was involved, he didn't even dare to get close to check, and immediately turned around and wanted to rush back to Fucheng to report the news.

However, the Good Friends Association, which had been carefully prepared for many years, was quite well prepared, arranged a total of two groups of interceptors on the road, and also sent people to disguise a team of horse bandits wandering around, and forcibly blocked the news of Linxian.

Although the government would not realize the problem until noon the next day at most because the scouts did not return, the current situation, even if it could be delayed for one more day, would be of great help to Chen Wu's Taiping Rebels and the army of the Good Friends Association. As the decision was issued, more than 80,000 displaced people under the command of Chen Wu only stopped outside Linxian for half a day, and then turned around and marched towards Longshan without stopping.
