Chapter 63: Counseling and Suppressing Bandits
In the camp of Songhai City, a group of generals under Shaoyang gathered together, and Xu Shu sat as a military advisor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Highness, the bandits are vulnerable, you don't need to go out in person, as long as you give the last general a battalion of soldiers and horses, you will be able to wipe out the bandits. "Xu Sanmu was the first to ask for battle.
He is not alone, except for Zhao Yun and Xu Shu, even Yu Ban is ready to move.
"Only half of our army's 5,000 soldiers and horses have actually experienced battles, no matter how strict the training is, the soldiers are strong, and an army that has not experienced battles and has never seen blood will never become a strong army. Shaoyang did not answer, emphasizing the current situation of the Songhai City army.
"In this battle, bandits are not to be feared, and the emphasis is on training. This is the consensus he reached after consulting with Xu Shu and Zhao Yun.
As for Shaoyang's insistence on going out in person, it is also to hone himself, and he will inevitably need to go to the battlefield in the future.
"Due to the previous werewolf invasion, most of the bandits in the territory fled the country, and there are not many bandits left. "Someone said the situation.
Shaoyang also knows this, so this crackdown on bandits is not limited to the territory of Songhai City.
"It doesn't matter, there are not many bandits in Songhai City, but there are countless bandits in the entire Northern Wilderness, which is enough for our army to train troops. Shaoyang motioned for a herald to step forward and ask him to explain to everyone the bandits in Wilderness City.
"The information sent back from Captain Zhou Cang, there are twenty-three bandits in Wilderness City, large and small......" The herald took out a piece of information.
Originally, there weren't so many bandits in Wilderness City, and some of them fled from Songhai City.
The number of bandits in each place was different, the least was no more than thirty or fifty people, and the three strongest bandits were strong, and Shaoyang thought that they might be better than the garrison of Wilderness City except for the equipment factor.
Although he knew that bandits were rampant in the Northern Wilderness, he didn't expect it to be more serious than he imagined, but there were two or three thousand bandits in the two cities.
"I believe that everyone already has some understanding of the bandits, how do you think you should start?" In fact, Shaoyang didn't need to ask them, it was enough to leave everything to Xu Shu to plan.
But in the future, he can't just rely on the generals of the Three Kingdoms, at least a large number of middle and low-level generals need to come from the mainland human race, and it is just at this time to discuss them, so that those generals can be honed.
After throwing out the questions, Shaoyang quietly waited for their response, but the hall fell silent for a while.
Xu Sanmu, who had the loudest voice in the battle, didn't dare to speak out immediately, letting him charge into battle, and he wouldn't even blink his eyes, but when it came to making suggestions, he still had self-knowledge.
"It's just a discussion, you don't have to worry about right or wrong, just speak your mind freely and say what you think. Seeing that they didn't say a word, Shaoyang encouraged them loudly.
It doesn't matter if it's wrong, even if it's a bad idea, it's a big deal not to adopt it.
Xu Sanmu found that most of his colleagues were looking at him, hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Then I'll just say it, don't laugh at me, since you know the bandits' lair, directly lead the troops to kill them and kill them all." ”
"Hahaha" caused a burst of laughter.
"What Vice General Xu said is right, our army can defeat even werewolves, let alone bandits. "There are people who support him.
Well, after all, the war in the entire Dusk Continent has always been straightforward, and Shaoyang doesn't expect these guys to be as good at using troops as the generals of the Three Kingdoms.
"Wen Ze, what do you think?" Shaoyang asked Yu Forbidden Dao.
Yu Ban is good at training, but as a general, he is also eager to perform on the battlefield and want to show his abilities in other aspects.
Seeing that Xu Shu and Zhao Yun didn't say anything just now, they also guessed some thoughts from Shaoyang's behavior, so in addition to showing war at the beginning, they also remained silent afterwards.
"Back to the king, it is forbidden to think that it is easy to suppress bandits and clear up the troubles of bandits. At this time, Shaoyang asked, Yu Ban naturally would not miss the opportunity to perform.
"Oh?" Shaoyang was a little surprised, and he didn't understand what he meant.
Everyone also looked at Yu Ban in puzzlement, only Xu Shu stroked his beard with a smile on his face, and Zhao Yun looked thoughtful.
"Once our army begins to suppress bandits, other bandits will inevitably learn the news, most of the bandits are hidden in the mountains and forests, if they deliberately hide, we can't do anything. Yu Ban explained.
Indeed, as Yu Ban said, Northern Chu did not think about cleaning up the bandits in the Northern Wilderness, but there were many troops dispatched, so the bandits hid their whereabouts and should not fight. The army was small, and it was unable to defeat the bandits who occupied the advantageous position.
Thinking that the bandits were not similar to the guerrilla warfare in his previous life, Shaoyang could understand their difficulty, and he thought that the bandits in the Northern Wilderness were troubled because of the incompetence of the Northern Chu army.
Thinking about it, the regular army of Northern Chu can even fight head-on with orcs, it can't be really incompetent, but bandits are not simple.
"If you can gather the bandits in one place, and then lead a large army to encircle and suppress them, you will kill them with one blow, and completely eliminate the bandits. Yu Ban paused and added.
The bandits gathered together, with the strength of the Songhai City army, even if they couldn't kill them cleanly, they would definitely be able to wipe out the bandits, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net would not be a cause for concern.
"How can we get them together, the bandits are divided among themselves, and there is even a lot of hatred, and it is not easy to get them to stay together. Shaoyang is also thinking about feasible solutions.
"Zhou Cang" thought of Zhou Cang, who was still pretending to be a bandit in Wilderness City, Shaoyang felt that only by starting from him, but how to implement it to succeed still needs to be discussed.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Captain Zhou to help and try to gather the bandit leaders of Wilderness City. Xu Shu got up and asked Shaoyang for his life.
Xu Shu must have made a plan to ask for his life, Shaoyang didn't doubt that he couldn't succeed, but he just felt that there was no need to let him go out in person.
"The military division will definitely succeed immediately, but Lone thinks that there is no need for this, not to mention that the affairs of the city still need the military division to be in charge, it is better to write a letter to hand over the strategy to Zhou Cang, and let him act according to the plan. Shaoyang proposed.
"There are laws for things in the city, and it is not necessary to stay away for some time. Although it is possible to hand over the letter to Captain Zhou, it is cheaper to go there in person to ensure that the suppression of bandits is foolproof. Xu Shu still insisted.
Xu Shu's words are not unreasonable, and with his strength, Shaoyang is not worried that he will be in danger, so he no longer refuses and agrees.
"Leave five hundred soldiers and horses to ......" Shaoyang glanced at the people in the hall, wanting to select one person to guard Songhai City, but seeing that they were full of war, he couldn't make a choice for a while.
"Yun Yuan guards the rear. Zhao Yun spoke up and resolved Shaoyang's dilemma.
"Okay, during the expedition, the size of Songhai City will be handed over to Zilong, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be drawn in batches and hidden in the border villages, remember not to reveal their whereabouts. Shaoyang felt that Zhao Yun was also relieved, as for the bandits, he didn't necessarily need his knife.
