The first lesson that the military commander taught to a few more people who had already passed the inspection was the division of labor and cooperation between scouts and meticulous work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What is scouting, what is detailing, what is the work of a scout, what is the focus, what is the work of detailing, what is the focus, classification of scouting and detailing,...... , all kinds of things, tell the story.

It took an afternoon just to analyze and discuss the classification of scouts and subdivisions and the focus of each subcategory.

The military commander gave a special explanation of the objectives, characteristics, and methods of each sub-category of work.

To the feeling of the cycad, the military commander made the introduction of the scout and the detailed work, some aspects are very detailed, very unique, very attained, but some aspects are very sparse, one stroke, giving people the feeling that he is introducing as he wants, although he tried to make the whole introduction more systematic and standardized, but did not do it, the cycad does not know if it is his own illusion, how can the military commander make the adult so outrageous?

The absolute admiration of the military commander made Su Tie feel ashamed of his suspicions, and he never dared to ask his other partners if they felt the same, but the military commander's lecture still made them all feel like opening a window for themselves, so that they could see another world, it turned out that scouts and fine works should do this, and they could do so well, and the information obtained would be so important.

It's late at night, and it's almost time.

But the people who were waiting hadn't come yet, so Su Tie pressed down his somewhat irritable mood and tried his best to keep his mood calm.

It's going to be fine, Sheng Tang and Huoshan don't have a large group of ant thieves anymore, and a small group of ant thieves is no longer too much of a threat to the scouts, not to mention that their subordinates, the cycads are still confident.

The slight footsteps coming from the left front made the cycad instantly return to reality from his imagination, his body bowed slightly, carefully observing the surroundings, and making an appointment that only one person would come, if there were other people, he needed to be careful.

Fortunately, the figure of the subordinate soon appeared with the birdsong of the joint, which made the cycad feel at ease.

"My lord, this is the situation in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty recently collected by his subordinates, from the current point of view, the situation in the entire Tang Dynasty is very bad, the ant thieves have swept the entire Shengtang and Huoshan counties, and the ordinary people are either coerced by the ant thieves to go north, or they hide in the mountains in the south, and sometimes they can't meet a person for dozens of miles. ”

The person who came was one of the most optimistic subordinates of the Cycad, and the Cycad also attached great importance to his intelligence.

"The entire southern gentry of the Tang Dynasty were exterminated by the ant thieves? I remember that there were at least a dozen dock forts near the city of Suyu, all of which were captured by the ant thieves?" asked Su Tie a little surprised, and asked as he took the scroll of paper.

Although the Shengtang and Huoshan sides are far away from the state and most of them are hilly areas, the gentry have never been strong, and they are all ordinary families.

However, it is precisely because it is located in the south and is worried about the attack of bandits in the mountains, so in addition to the county seat of Suyu City, there are more than ten dock forts along the dozens of miles around Suyu City.

This is the Tang Dynasty local large households in the form of joint household self-protection to build, mainly in order to resist the attack of bandits from the southern mountainous area, can cooperate with each other, each dock fort can live two or three hundred people, and the dock fort is also quite solid and strong, with a beacon, a little alarm can be ignited to warn.

"All of them were breached, and the ant thieves adopted the strategy of encircling the points to send reinforcements, ambushing the reinforcements who came to reinforce several times in a row, and then no one rushed to reinforce them, so the ant thieves used the superior forces and siege equipment to pull out the ,...... one by one"

"Later, the last few big families in the dock fort couldn't stay and wanted to run, but they were all captured by the ant thieves who had been ambushed a long time ago, and the ant thieves harvested a lot of grain in these dock forts in the Tang Dynasty, basically swept away the entire Tang Dynasty,......

"Now there is only a blank land left in the Tang Dynasty, and only a very small number of big families with fast enough brains to react quickly are considered lucky to flee to Luzhou and Shuzhou before the ant thieves came, but the family property is basically swept away by the ant thieves. ”

"It is said that many women in Jiangning and Jiangdu Jiaofang Sili and Huachuan are the wives and concubines of the big families in the Tang Dynasty and Huoshan, and they are all tired of being played by ant thieves and sold over there,......"

Cycad listened silently.

The situation in the Tang Dynasty is similar to that of Huoshan, and it is even worse, after all, Huoshan is closer to the mountains, and many of the big families are cunning rabbits, and they hide in the mountains when they find that the situation is not good, and even go over Huoshan to hide in Shuzhou or Luzhou.

"A few of us have basically turned around in a big circle in the Tang Dynasty, there are less than 1,000 people in the city, and they dare to go back at night, just for fear that the ant thieves will make a comeback, and the countryside will be in vain, either hiding in the river or hiding in the woods, the prestige of the ant thieves is considered to have started in the Tang Dynasty, and it is no wonder that these ordinary people are running to our Gushi. ”

I didn't expect the situation in the Tang Dynasty to become so bad, and the cycads were also a little uncertain.

The southern part of Shouzhou is vast, but the population is relatively small, the two counties of Shengtang and Huoshan originally belonged to Huoshan County, after the Shenlong period Huoshan moved the county governance to Yuyu City, renamed Shengtang County, but then after the Huangchao Rebellion, the administrative divisions of various places were disordered, Huoshan re-established the county, and the county governance was still in the original county seat of Huoshan.

So the original Huoshan County is divided into two, the northern area is relatively flat, and can also enjoy the benefits of Shaobi irrigation, relatively rich, for the Shengtang County, and the south is mainly hilly and mountainous, still Huoshan County.

The military commander only asked for as much as possible to collect all aspects of the situation of the two counties, and the mountains, rivers, road traffic, population villages, gentry, large gentry, mountains, forests, swamps, and land ownership were all required to be collected in different categories and compiled into separate books for future needs.

As a senior officer in the scout team, Su Tie of course knew that the commander of the army had made the adults intend to get involved in Shouzhou, but now the southern part of Shouzhou has become a blank land, and the population has basically been lost, plus the ant thieves can go south from Huoqiu and Anfeng at any time, if the Gushi Army wants to march into Shengtang and Huoshan, it is bound to fight with the ant thieves.

The cycad is not afraid of fighting with the ant thief, the Gushi army can even fight back the Caizhou army, how can there be a reason to be afraid of the ant thief, the problem is that if you enter these two counties now, you have to fall into the entanglement with the ant thief, which is not very cost-effective.

Su Tie kept in mind the point mentioned by the military commander, and dared to ask questions about matters that he did not understand or understand, no one is perfect, no one is perfect, no one is perfect, a wise man must have a mistake, a fool must have a thousand thoughts, only by daring to question, can we help to discover problems and avoid losses.

In the eyes of the cycads, it is undoubtedly meaningless to take Shengtang and Huoshan at this time, there is no population, and they have to face the attack of ant thieves, the Gushi Army is now weak in cavalry, and it is simply unable to deal with the ant thieves who are raging everywhere, what is the significance of taking these two counties?

After going back, it is necessary to mention the current situation of the Tang Dynasty and Huoshan to the army commander, so as not to step into this quagmire and not be able to extricate itself.

"Well, since the situation in the Tang Dynasty has been collected almost, a few of you will leave two or three people to continue to swim around in the Tang Dynasty to see if there is any change in the situation, especially to focus on collecting where people still live in the county now, the approximate number and the situation of large households, the main route and frequency of ant thieves going south, and the other few people you take to the north, focusing on the first-line activities in Anfeng and Shaobi to understand ,......"

After explaining the task, the cycad and the other party quickly went their own way and left.

Su Tie came out this time, not only to be responsible for collecting intelligence from Sheng Tang and Huoshan, but also to have another task.

In addition, there are people who will come to the front to answer him, bring the information collected by his subordinates back to Gushi, and he himself will go north to Huoqiu, waiting for an opportunity to enter the ant thieves who are active in Huoqiu.

In fact, Su Tie was also surprised that there was an inside line of the military commander in the ant thief, but the military commander never mentioned it, and only asked himself to be in charge of the joint according to the agreed method.

Although the military commander did not mention it, Su Tie could roughly guess that this should be a foreshadowing left by the military commander when he was in the scout team of the Gwangju Thorn Mansion before he took charge of the Gushi Army.

The adult once talked about the experience of being among the ant thieves for several months, and it should have been that time the adults had already begun to make detailed arrangements among the ant thieves.

Thinking that the adult could have such a skill when he served as a scout under the Gwangju Assassin's Mansion, and he could start to lay out the equipment at that time, Su Tie couldn't help but sigh, who dared to say that the military commander made the adult's achievement by luck?

With the importance that the adults attach to the scout team, the adults have arranged themselves in the position of one of the scout leaders, and they also have high hopes for themselves, and they must not let the adults down.

Taking a deep breath, Cycad tightened the weapons and bags on his body, took advantage of the night to identify the direction, and disappeared into the darkness.

The cycad's feeling is right, Jiang Feng does attach great importance to the role of the scout team, and also attaches extraordinary importance to the construction of the scout team.

In Jiang Feng's view, if a small force like Gu Shijun wants to compete for survival with Nanyang, Caizhou, Huaibei, Ehuang, and Huainan in the Central Plains in the future, and even involves the feudal lords of Daliang, Guanzhong, and Dajin, their strength is not as good as others, so they need to make up for it in terms of accurate and efficient intelligence.

And the reason why he was able to deal with the siege of ant thieves accurately and timely, and was able to preemptively prepare for the arrival of the Caizhou army, was to a large extent the effective use of intelligence from all sides.

Jiang Feng began to ponder the use of scouts in the current era from the time he served as the scout team under the Gwangju Assassin Mansion, and it should be said that the current use of scouts by all feudal lords is still relatively crude and superficial, and has not really developed its potential.

For other parties, of course, Jiang Feng will not ask, or even ask for it, but for Gushi, he must consciously start to focus on building and cultivating a fine work and scout force from now on. (To be continued.) )
