The news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers of Dashu came back, causing all parts of Tianshui County to mourn and grieve, but for the Chu family, this was not bad news.

On the third day when the news came back, all the men of the Chu family held a secret meeting in the ancestral hall, and even Chu Wen and Chu Huaiyu were called back by Chu Zhenhai.

Chu Wen's news is the most well-informed, originally he has a lot of things to do now, but when he heard his father's urgent call, he also knew that the matter was important, so he immediately asked for leave and returned to Qinghe Village.

He introduced the situation in Datong County and even other counties in Tianshui County with a serious face, and then said in a deep voice: "Our Datong County, with a population of only 300,000 and only 5,000 officers and soldiers on the books, has lost 6,000 Ding Zhuang and 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the casualties are extremely serious!"

"The other four counties that Tianshui County has not fallen, the situation is similar, if the Dashu side does not send a strong army to suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, with the strength of Tianshui County alone, it will not be able to compete with the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army of the Mountain Tigers. ”

Chu He pondered for a while, and asked with some puzzlement: "Dashu, until now, I haven't done anything to the mountain tiger, and we should have found out the reality of the mountain tiger." ”

"This time, 20,000 strong men and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized, plus the iron cavalry from Qinzhou, the strength is not strong, why can't it defeat the 10,000 strong bandits of the mountain tigers?"

Chu Wu's experience is also okay, and he also asked: "It is said that this time Datong County dispatched the strongest Black Biao cavalry, and the Shuangyue Iron Cavalry from Qinzhou is the Shuangyue Iron Cavalry, the Shuangyue Iron Cavalry is more powerful than the Black Biao Cavalry, and most of them are Qi Martial Artists, and their strength is amazing." ”

"And Qinzhou dispatched two fourth-grade martial arts sects, plus a fourth-grade bachelor. Even if the mountain tiger is promoted to the fourth grade, and there are demons and evil monks to help, it will not be able to defeat the strong people of Qinzhou. ”

Chu Wen shook his head: "We have all looked down on the mountain tigers, this guy dares to raise the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, I'm afraid there are still some things we don't know about." ”

"In fact, everywhere in Dashu, I don't know what's going on, suddenly there are many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, most of which are far more powerful than the Mountain Tigers, which is very jealous of Dashu, I am afraid that someone has obtained the Taiping Qing collar of Zhang Jiao's demon road, inherited Zhang Jiao's mantle, and has been secretly planning for a long time. ”

"In addition, Great Wei and Great Wu took the opportunity to invade the border of Dashu, and in a short period of time, Dashu will not be able to spare the strength to deal with the mountain tigers. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The coalition army formed by Tianshui County is strong, and there is also the help of Qinzhou, but the three counties captured by the mountain tigers, Ji County, Beidu, and Huanggao, were originally the three strongest counties among the eight counties of Tianshui County. ”

"The mountain tiger merged the three counties into the bandit army, making the number of bandit troops more than 10,000, plus the forcibly recruited three counties of young and strong, in fact, there are tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers and horses. ”

"The most powerful thing is that demon and evil monk, who actually has an extremely rare heart to confuse the people, and uses demonic words to confuse the people, so that the bandit army and the young and strong soldiers and horses are desperate to give their lives to the mountain tigers, and the fighting spirit is high. ”

"Although there are many coalition forces, no one is willing to hand over the power of the army, there is a lack of unified command, they are fighting separately, and they don't know the power of the Yellow Turban Army's demons and evil fangs, so it is not surprising that they were defeated. ”

Chu He knew that Jing Xiong would definitely participate in this big battle, so he couldn't help asking, "What about the four-rank martial arts sect and four-rank bachelors of the government-government coalition army?"

Chu Wen thought for a moment: "There are two fourth-grade martial arts sects in Qinzhou, and there is also a fourth-grade bachelor, but there is no damage. ”

"But in such a large-scale battle, the officers and soldiers were defeated, and their strength alone was powerless to return to the sky. It is said that the two four-rank martial arts sects had already returned to Qinzhou with the remnants of the soldiers, and the four-rank bachelor did not know where to go. ”

Chu Zhenhai suddenly said in a deep voice: "Now that the officers and soldiers are defeated, it is our opportunity. ”

"According to the past situation, every time the situation is turbulent, the mountain people are young and strong and suffer heavy casualties, it will cause many villages to collapse, and a large number of mountain people go to the mountains to become bandits. ”

Chu He pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Uncle, what do you think of the situation in Datong County now?"

Chu Wen immediately said: "There are only 2,000 soldiers and horses left in Datong County now, and recently we have increased military salaries in various parts of the county to recruit soldiers and horses, but Datong County has suffered heavy losses from young and strong, and it is difficult to recruit many soldiers and horses unless they are forcibly recruited." ”

"In addition, Datong County is extremely chaotic, no one dares to guarantee that the bandits will not attack Datong County, many scholars and wealthy clans have left Datong County, and the family has moved to Qinzhou. The government is also panicking, each looking for a way out, and does not hesitate to spend money and money to seek to relocate to other places. ”

He immediately frowned: "Could it be that Qianyuan wants to fight the idea of Datong County?"

Everyone knows the word Qianyuan, and they also know that it is the word given to Chu He by the predecessors, so the people of the Chu family naturally will not have any opinions.

Now everyone doesn't treat Chu He as an ignorant child, and has completely become the backbone of the Chu family second only to Chu Zhenhai, and Chu Zhenhai is only the nominal head of the family, and the real master is Chu He.

Chu Wu frowned: "No matter how chaotic Datong County is, with the strength we have at hand, it is still impossible to capture Datong County." ”

"The city wall of Datong County is tall and majestic, and it is the county order of Datong County alone, holding a big seal in his hand, and his combat power is strong, which is enough to compete with the four bachelors. ”

Chu He shook his head: "Of course it is impossible for us to capture the county seat, our top priority is to secretly strengthen the strength of the village protection team and the hunting team." ”

"However, if Datong County is chaotic and can't spare the time and energy to pay attention to us, we can do more and have a lot less constraints and fears. ”

"Qianyuan plans to take the opportunity to expand the size of the hunting team of the village protection team, but the name should be changed, and it should be called the Chu family army in the name of the Chu family. ”

Chu Wen frowned and said: "We don't have a general, if we call the army, I'm afraid it's not good, if Dashu sends an army over and exterminates the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, I'm afraid it will also treat us as rebels and solve us easily." ”

"Second, if the scale is expanded, I am afraid that the military will not be able to control it. Money is also insufficient. ”

Chu He thought for a moment: "It's okay if the Chu family army is not called, but the name must reflect that it is our soldiers and horses, so it is better to call it Qianyuanwei!"

He honestly and unceremoniously used his name, and added: "In addition, in terms of military morale, I also have a plan, I will place an adjutant general in charge of ideological education in the army, who will be responsible for brainwashing the soldiers. Don't worry about money and silver, I'm going to go to Qinzhou in person and try to open up a channel for the trade of armor. ”

"Brainwashing?"

The Chu family was accustomed to Chu He's frequent highlighting of strange words, but they still didn't understand what this brainwashing was.

Chu He explained: "Brainwashing is to make them accept a concept, and it is our Chu family who gives them everything, and the only thing they take is our orders, even if we let them die!"

"Brainwashing is actually very simple, it is to repeat two words. ”

"For example, every day in training, let them shout the same slogan, or repeatedly instill in them a concept, such as who gives them food, who pays them military salaries, who gives them a better life, and whose orders they need to obey! They have only one answer, and that is Chu He Chu Qianyuan!"

Chu Wen, a little bit of culture, really didn't believe Chu He's words: "Could it be that by doing this, they can make them work for our Chu family?"
