Lu Sheng bowed and clenched his fists and replied: "Your Majesty is about to report this matter to the Captain, and sent spies to find out the news from all over Runan and mixed in with the thieves to find out the details for more than half a month, and now the news is coming from everywhere!" ”

"According to the report of the spies, the thieves found in Runan County include Liu Pi and Gong Du in the mountains thirty miles away from Runan City, with a number of about 3,000 people, all of whom are remnants of yellow turbans!"

"There are also Zhai Palace, Jiang Palace, and Shen Cheng who are entrenched at the confluence of the lower reaches of Rushui and Huaishui, these three people are righteous brothers, each with a group of people, Zhai Palace has the most people, there are more than 1,000 people, Jiang Palace has more than 700 people, and Shen Cheng has more than 500 people!"

"There are also more than 5,000 people gathered in the peach mountain thief Kou Zhang Chi, and the momentum is huge, and the government is afraid of it!"

Qin Feng nodded after hearing this, and he walked to the map to mark the locations of the thieves one by one.

Then he asked: "Is there any news of Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Du Yuan, Pei Yuanshao and others?" ”

Lu Sheng replied: "I haven't found out about these people yet!" ”

Qin Feng pondered in his heart, could it be that because Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others were fictional in the romance, there were no such people? But Liaohua should have it, right? Maybe they're not in Runan? But Zhang Min clearly said that these people were in the grass in Runan!

Putting this aside in advance, he asked again: "Can you find out the details of the orders of the cities and counties in Runan, the names of officials, their preferences, the garrisons, etc.?" ”

Lu Sheng took out a roster and handed it over with both hands: "Captain, the list of county officials in each county in Runan is here, there may be omissions, but it should be a minority, there are not too many garrisons in Runan, and all counties are garrisoned by county soldiers, more than seven or eight hundred, less than two or three hundred!" ”

"One of the most garrisons is the Li Tong Department stationed in Yang'an, Li Tong this person has a meritorious crusade against Zhang Xiu, and was named a general and a meritorious marquis by Cao Cao, and was appointed as the commander of Yang'an, with 5,000 soldiers under his command, and was left by Cao Cao in Runan County to guard the western border in case of Liu Biao in Jingzhou!"

After hearing this, Qin Feng waved his hand: "Okay, you go, if there is any news, come and report to me quickly!" ”

"No!"

Not long after Lu Sheng left, the guard came to report: "Miss Qiao is here to see!" ”

"Please!"

Xiao Qiao walked in and asked, "We've been staying here for nearly twenty years, but I'm afraid that the grain and grass won't last long, right?" What's next, what are you going to do? ”

Qin Feng said strangely: "You are a woman and a Taoist family, why do you care about this military and political matter?" ”

Xiao Qiao didn't give Qin Feng a good look, "I don't want to be killed by the official army, and I will starve to death first!" ”

Qin Feng thought about it for a while, briefly explained the strategy he had discussed with Yang Hong and Yan Xiang before, and then said: "Now I am thinking about whether to attack the cities and officials of Runan County first, or to absorb these thieves first!" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao immediately said: "Naturally, it is necessary to fight the official army and the city of Runan first, do you still need to think about it?" ”

Qin Feng was surprised: "Oh? Why don't you fight these thieves first? ”

Xiao Qiao asked, "What is your identity now?" ”

Qin Feng: "······"

"Thieves!" Xiao Qiao poked Qin Feng's pain points mercilessly, which pot is really not opened, she continued: "Thieves fight thieves, Cao Cao is still so happy that he jumps? When you fight with these thieves and lose both, there is no need for him to send troops to clean up and wait, and the officials and troops in Runan will be able to clean up and wait without much effort! ”

Qin Feng was so stunned by Xiao Qiao, he suddenly felt that his face was hot, and his brain was not as flexible as a woman, and his face was really dull.

He smiled embarrassedly and asked again, "Do you mean to attack the officials and troops in Runan first, and then clean up those bandits?" ”

Xiao Qiao asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to clean up these thieves?" What good is it for you to take away these thieves? These thieves have been entrenched in Runan for many years, and they are all grass on the wall, and whoever is powerful will submit to whom! ”

"If you make peace with these thieves, Cao Cao will be afraid of joining forces and will not dare to raise an army to attack; On the contrary, if you clean up these thieves, it will be Cao Cao's turn to send troops to clean up you, don't you understand this truth? ”

At this moment, Qin Feng felt that Xiao Qiao was by no means a vase, at least he couldn't figure out such a question, but Xiao Qiao just heard him say the general situation and immediately made a judgment.

Qin Feng thought for a while and asked: "At present, the largest official army in Runan is the 5,000 men and horses of General Pi, the Marquis of Jiangong, and Li Tong, the commander of Yang'an, the combat strength of this official army should not be weak, should I fight Li Tong first, or the nearby cities first?" ”

"Think about it yourself, you can't figure it out, you might as well just find a prince to serve!" Xiao Qiao glanced at him, got up and walked out.

Qin Feng was stunned, and when she went out, he couldn't help but say, "This little girl, her temper is really big!" ”

After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng went to invite Yan Xiang.

"I've seen my lord!"

Qin Feng raised his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be polite, please come sir, I want to ask me how much military food and grass is left?" ”

Yan Xiang said: "Back to the lord, the grain and grass can only last for a month at most!" ”

Qin Feng nodded, that is to say, within a month, the supply of grain and grass must be obtained, otherwise the army will be short of food, and the team will soon collapse.

Next, Qin Feng selected five hundred young men with strong skills from the army, and these five hundred people had one more training in addition to normal drills.

On this day, Qin Feng found three soldiers from the army who could strike iron.

"From this day on, you will be in charge of repairing and forging weapons and tools for us! I'm going to give you the task of making an instrument now, and let's see, this is a sketch I have drawn, can you make it according to this shape? ”

One of the soldiers took a look at the drawing, looked up and said, "This is an iron claw, which many hunters use when climbing mountains!" ”

Qin Feng clapped his palms: "Yes!" Can it be forged? ”

"Can't!"

"Why?"

"No tools!"

Qin Feng smiled: "It's not difficult, I'll wait to find it!" ”

He then asked Lu Sheng to send people disguised as civilians to "borrow" some tools from the blacksmith shop in the city.

After two days, the five hundred elites selected by Qin Feng had an additional training to throw iron claws, tied to the iron claws with a long rope, grabbed the rope and shook the iron claws, threw the iron claws onto the cliff, and then climbed the rock after the iron claws were firmly grasped on the top of the cliff.

Qin Feng himself completed his cultivation and training, and he was urging these 500 people to train every day, at the beginning, many people were afraid of heights, and their hands and feet were weak when climbing, and some people accidentally fell down and were injured by falling, so that many people were scared to dare not climb again.

For this situation, Qin Feng never compromised, and successively killed three people by military law, and under the threat of death, the soldiers finally overcame their fear and fought bravely one by one.

In half a month, Qin Feng trained these five hundred people to become masters of throwing iron claws and rock climbing.

On this day, after Qin Feng discussed with Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others, he decided to attack the original Lucheng, which was the closest county town to them.

In the evening, the camp was in full swing, and the men worked hard to cook for the soldiers, and this meal was the most sumptuous meal they had ever made.

For this meal, Qin Feng specially led hundreds of people to sweep around the mountains, caught a herd of wild boars, nine large wild boars, sixteen small wild boars, hunted several wild deer, and some wild boar cubs were released.

The soldiers had never eaten such a good meal, and they ate all with their mouths full of oil.

A group of soldiers in the camp gathered around and chatted while eating food, and someone suddenly said: "I'm afraid this meal is just a meal on the road!" When you're done eating, it's time for everyone to hit the road! ”

"Bah, bah, ······ The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! How do you call it a road meal? I'm waiting for this to go to war, do you understand how to fight? Only when you are well fed can you have the courage and strength to cut people, you know? The elder who was sitting next to him scolded loudly.

Another soldier said: "Don't think too much, the more you think, the more timid you become, if you have to eat, just eat, go into battle, the general ordered me to wait for the attack, I will wait forward, if you see the enemy, cut down, if you don't cut him to death, he will cut you to death!" Think for yourself, do you want to be hacked to death, or do you want to hack the enemy to death? ”

"Of course I don't want to die!" The man just said.

"That's right, since you don't want to die, you can only kill the enemy desperately!"

By the time dinner was over, it was already dark.

The bonfires lit up the entire camp, and the troops lined up neatly in the open space in front of the Chinese army's big tent.

"Mr. Yi and Mr. Yan, leave five hundred foot soldiers and baggage battalions here, you two are responsible for staying behind, I will take other soldiers and horses to attack the original deer, after I leave, you two must be cautious and not slack!" Qin Feng explained.

Huang Yi and Yan Xiang immediately saluted: "No! ”

Qin Feng stepped onto the war horse, took the weapon carried by the soldiers, raised his hand and waved: "The soldiers are in Lucheng!" ”

The camp gate was wide open, the team drove out of the camp, and without Qin Feng's order, Juniper had already sent a scout team to set off first, and someone would return every two moments on the way to report the situation ahead.

Thirty miles, it took two hours to walk, which is also a relatively normal marching speed, of course, it can also speed up, but there is no need, from the arrival time and saving the physical strength of the soldiers to enter the battle in time to consider, it is just right to rush at the normal marching speed.

When I arrived outside the original deer city, it happened to be the time of the child.

It was late at night, and the original Lucheng city wall was pitch black, and there was no light.

"The order went down, and the team advanced slowly, stopping two miles from the outside walls!"

As the orders were passed down one by one, the march slowed down, and there was no sound when they reached a stop two miles outside the city.

"Call Juniper!"

Juniper quickly rode over: "Captain? ”

Qin Feng said: "The five hundred men and horses that have been carefully selected have been practicing for half a month, it is time to come in handy, tonight you will lead the team, take them from the southeast corner of the city wall to throw the iron claws up, and climb up as fast as possible!" Remember, be quick and warn everyone not to scream, even if you fall off the rope! ”

"No!"

Juniper gave the order and walked towards the southeast corner of the city wall with five hundred people who had been carefully trained in climbing skills.
