After figuring out this, Bingzhong began to slowly look for candidates in the barracks. Half a decade has passed, Bingzhong has called the managers of each battalion to come to the meeting hall to discuss the matter of electing bravery; the managers of each battalion have expressed their own ideas to discuss together, and in the current run-in and division of labor, each battalion has cooperated with each other and cooperated, and the characteristics of each battalion have gradually become prominent. Bingzhong saw the excitement of their quarrel, and did not intervene, but persuaded each other to drink and eat tea, and when he was half-drunk, Bingzhong said: I have seen that everyone is very diligent these days, and there is no need to say much. Since I have walked this road, I always have a knife hanging over my head. How can we live a better life? Just as the saying goes, you need to be hard to strike iron, so in the process of selecting bravery, I want to adjust the troops, I don't know if it is okay or not. All the generals clasped their hands into fists and shouted: "I wish to be from the major general!" Bingzhong said with a smile: I think so: At present, the managers of each battalion are the commanders of each battalion, and each of them is assigned a steward and a deacon, and the stewards are responsible for the dispatch and management of each battalion, and they must have the responsibility of remembering their merits and demerits; the deacons are mainly responsible for giving orders and conveying orders, and the key lies in the fact that they are in place and have the responsibility of executing in their respective battalions. In addition, it is necessary to recruit troops and develop troops. On top of so many soldiers, another battalion was to be built, mainly for scouts. Most of our victories and defeats along the way depend on the number of sources, because it directly affects our judgment of the other party. For example, in the battle of Baogukou, as soon as we saw that it was Qin Liangyu's troops, according to the situation of the team at that time, only retreat was the best choice, and sure enough, we lost nearly two or three thousand people like this. In addition, the battle of Wangyu Town, although there were no troops and no damage, but the news we heard from sneaking in earlier and the special geographical location of Wangyu Town allowed us to get a very accurate judgment, these are the exploits of Tanma, but there is no specific team to do it. In order for us to win every battle in the future, we must build such a team. Therefore, this time the selection is more strict, and the employment must be able to do it properly. Hearing this, everyone was very excited and unanimously agreed that this method was feasible. Bingzhong continued: This battalion, I want to call it the Big Sparrow Battalion, which is divided into three general flags, one is called the Eagle Falcon, the Eagle Falcon scouts the attack and decides, the other is the Yellow Bird, the Yellow Sparrow explores the bright and secret news, and the other is the Blue Bird, the Blue Bird patrols and enforces the law and spies!

After more than a month, everyone set up a high platform on the meadow of the island as a parade platform, and the selection of courage was carried out by the Tiger Ben Battalion, and the method of archery was still the first choice; After three or five days, the battalions had begun to see their scale, and everyone spontaneously invited Bingzhong to come to the meeting hall to talk about things together.

Du Weiyang of the Tiger Camp first said: According to the meaning of the major general, we have trained everyone for more than a month, and the total number of people is 13,670 people, all of whom are young and strong. If there is a surplus in six battalions, if it is divided into five battalions, there will be a ...... for expansion. Zhang Bingzhong shook his hand before Du Weiyang finished speaking. Then he smiled apologetically at him and said: Commander Du is too worried, I plan to do this: Now each battalion is arranged according to the regular battalion, with one commander, one steward, and one deacon. There are five general flags in one battalion, and one general flag has jurisdiction over ten small flags, and each small flag has ten people, making a total of 2,058 people. The Big Sparrow Battalion is a special battalion with 500 to 1,000 people in the battalion, and the Blue Bird Team handles various affairs and intelligence, and there is one Eagle Falcon Team and one Yellow Sparrow Team each. , the Eagle Falcon scouts, attacks, and decisions, and the Yellow Sparrow scouts, light and dark espionage, and news, each arranges manpower to lead. Now that it's properly arranged, it's time to train together. Each battalion showed the characteristics of each battalion, such as the hunting and killing of the Huben battalion, the baggage of the Hanzhong battalion, the booby trapping of the Guanzhong battalion, and the surprise attack of the Hongshan battalion. The rest of the people are all employed in the base camp, it is rare to have such a favorable time, place and people, and the best situation of the three talents, do not waste time.

When Bingzhong was talking about his heart, he personally sent a few messages. When I opened it in front of everyone, it turned out to be a letter from Li Dacheng and Luo Youcai. Both of them greeted the sixth brother, and invariably discussed the secret letter method of the three of them to communicate with each other. Bingzhong immediately gave the letter to Xi Fengchi and asked him to set it up to reply. After a few messages came and went like this, and after a fairly smooth process, they settled down.

After more than a month of cooperative training, Bingzhong saw that he had reached the time. At that moment, the generals were summoned to discuss the military in the council hall, and according to the map drawn by the Da Que Battalion Tanma, they directly ordered people to hang it in the hall and cover up the killing with everyone. After the discussion of the generals, it was decided that they would train troops in several states and counties around Chaohu, and they could also use this to recruit troops and expand their camps. It started from Tuogao, Jiongyang, Huoqiu and other prefectures and counties, and then pushed the city to attack the land. When the first battle of Tuogao was held, I thought that it would be a little difficult, and there would definitely be improper coordination; who knew that under the original plan of all five battalions, the Hanzhong battalion extinguished Tuogao's garrison in one fell swoop under the guidance of the big bird battalion. Qian Gu, the commander of the Hanzhong battalion, kept shouting: "I'm not having fun!" It's good that he doesn't shout, but when the barracks heard his shouting, several commanders couldn't sit still. It was unanimously demanded that with the help of Daqingying, a battalion would deal with a state and county in one go, and no one would be allowed to help. The other two commanders thought in their hearts that even the heavy people could take a state and county, not to mention their main attack battalion? In this way, Qian Gu became proud, and in the end, under the suppression of Bingzhong, everyone quieted down. Bingzhong said: If the two battalions are exhausted today, they will inevitably be defeated, which is exactly the journey of the proud army. In order not to affect morale, Bingzhong agreed that the two battalions would set off at the same time tomorrow to break the enemy.

Who knew that on the second day, before lunch was eaten, the two teams came back. Seeing the neat return of this formation, Bingzhong was frightened, and thought that he had met a strong enemy. With the general order of the soldiers, it became known that both battalions were to conquer their respective cities. When Bingzhong heard this, he was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers of the battalion to celebrate the merit wine to entertain this victorious army. When dinner was about to end, the commanders of the five battalions all consciously stayed in the conference hall, as if they were all waiting to show off their exploits to Zhang Bingzhong. When Bingzhong saw this scene, he didn't break it, and asked casually, is there anything wrong? Just as he was about to raise his feet and leave, the commander of the fifth battalion said in unison: Major General, I have something to tell you. Bingzhong scolded with a smile, the battle has been won, let's talk about it tomorrow! Turning around and leaving, he suddenly heard a few plopping plops, and when he looked back, the five generals actually knelt on the ground upright and said: General Xie Shao cultivated, and we are willing to work together with the generals to achieve a great cause! Zhang Bingzhong laughed and laughed when he heard this: What kind of big deal should I be, now I have only fought a few small counties and achieved several victories, and I am highly admired. After that, if you capture the county seat and defeat the emperor, then you must not worship me as an immortal! Brothers, please get up, don't laugh at me. Bingzhong helped the five commanders up one by one, and said: Brothers, what are the days ahead? To protect the head on your neck, to be able to speak for the poor people, it is necessary for everyone to work together to have a place in this troubled and troubled world. We'll have to take our time!

Everyone sat down again and talked about their future plans. Everyone believes that after this experience, it is better to fight a regular city, so as to hone a team that can fight well. Bingzhong looked at the map hanging in the hall, and casually pointed to it and said How is Luzhou? Hefei is an important economic town, if we can defeat him, we will not have to worry about eating and drinking in three or five years!

Zhang Bingzhong originally pointed at random, but he didn't know that the words that attracted the attack on Fengchi made him look at the map on the hall very seriously. At the same time, he couldn't help but say: Yes, Luzhou Mansion, this is a piece of fat and a strong city. The other four generals gathered around and stood by the map to look at it carefully. After a while, everyone said in unison, this is it!

It is the time of autumn, if you can take the city of Luzhou Mansion, you can enjoy the osmanthus wine of this West Que Tower in the city. This Luzhou Mansion is easy to say, but it is difficult to fight. When the Three Kingdoms were established, the Jianghuai became the battlefield of confrontation between Wei and Wu, and most of the cities were reduced to ruins. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Luzhou Mansion became the gateway to the west of Jiankang. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Luzhou was placed in Hefei, and the system was used since the Tang and Song dynasties, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was relocated to Luzhou Mansion, which is now Hefei.

It is said that in 215 AD, when Cao Cao personally conquered Guanzhong with a large army, only 7,000 people led by generals such as Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Li Dian defended Hefei City, but Sun Quan took the opportunity to lead 100,000 people to besiege it. Under the urgent situation of the disparity in troops, Zhang Liao selected 800 "people who dare to obey" to go out of the city to fight, rushed straight to Sun Quan's command, and was defeated. Under the repeated insistence of the Wei army, the Wu army attacked many times, but did not achieve major victories. However, its boat division "based on the water" often reached the city and threatened the city's defenses. In 233 A.D., the Wei capital governor Yangzhou military was full of favor, so he built a new city at the eastern foot of Jiming Mountain, about 15 kilometers west of the city, to avoid the boat in the water. By the Southern Song Dynasty, it had been relatively prosperous. The Jin people crossed the Huai south and invaded, and Luzhou was harassed many times. Later, the Southern Song Dynasty court ordered to promote the repair of Luzhou City, a large-scale expansion, and then continued to increase and reinforce, and it is rumored that its city wall is about ten zhang high.

Hearing Xi Fengchi's words, everyone gasped in their hearts. Zhang Bingzhong saw that everyone was silent, so he smiled and said: Since the city wall is so high, we have to outwit it to win it. As soon as he heard this, he immediately clasped his fists with both hands and said: Please rest assured, the young general, we will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations. Bingzhong nodded slightly and asked, How long will it take you?

Dao: Ten days, ten days, I will be able to get a thorough understanding of Luzhou Mansion. Okay, then there will be no joke in the army! We will attack the Luzhou Mansion in 10 days.

The next day, he returned to his camp and arranged for the two teams of Eagle Falcon and Yellow Sparrow to go out, and he must find out the situation around Luzhou Mansion and in the house within five days. Stay for three or five days, plan news in the battalion, and wait for the major general to decide. Sure enough, the team of nearly 2,000 people spread out, and soon the news inside and outside the house was clear. On the eighth day, Feng Chi hurriedly came to Bingzhong with black eyes to report the news he had found. In the middle of the night, Xi Fengchi woke up and fell asleep, Bingzhong hurriedly came to the bed, patted Feng Chi on the shoulder and said: Fengchi, I don't think it's okay to call you a flower tongue on weekdays, but today I saw you working so hard, and I knew your ability to do things. When Xi Fengchi heard this, he said with tears in his eyes: The soldier dies for his confidant, and it is rare for me to meet the young general with a discerning eye, and if I don't work hard, how can I treat the young general with sincerity and the way of knowing people. The two happily chatted with each other about the method of attacking the enemy, and the layout had been arranged for a long time until dawn.

The Luzhou Mansion was quickly captured by Bingzhong's proposal to use the method of infiltrating the enemy, leaving the Hanzhong Battalion Qian Gu to guard, and the remaining four battalions continued to go north, reaching Changfeng, Dingyuan and other counties from the Luzhou Mansion to Changfeng, Dingyuan and other counties, and for a time the name of the Eight Kings sounded on the land of the Central Plains. Of course, Zhang Bingzhong didn't mind these things, because he knew his weight. It is not enough to create a new world for the poor people, but just move forward silently. I accidentally arrived at Fengyang City, which is the Longxing City of today's Taizu. Seeing that this Fengyang City was at his feet, should he enter or not? It made Bingzhong hesitate for several days. All the soldiers said that the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. The troops are heavy, and they are in full swing. During these hesitant days, Bingzhong asked the commanders of the battalions to calm their respective troops and rest in place.

For three days in a row, Bingzhong did not give an order, and the four commanders came to Bingzhong together and asked in a harmonious voice: "Young General, why are you hesitating? What are your concerns?" Bingzhong said to several brothers who cared about him earnestly: Everyone, if we really take down this Fengyang City and this Huangjue Temple, will we enter or not? When everyone heard Bingzhong's words, they couldn't help but say in unison: Ah! Huangjue Temple .......
