After listening to Cai Yongzhen's words, everyone nodded frequently.

"The situation we are facing now is similar to that of Liu Bei at that time, if we have been staying here, then, in our life, it may be like this, we can only say that we have a round belly, and it is difficult to have greater development. However, once we get out of here and go around with the bandits, then we will have a lot of room to rise. Throughout history, there have been countless heroes who have developed and grown in war, and maybe, it won't be long before we can develop well, and by that time, our strength will be even stronger, as long as we have our own strength, no matter who he is, it will not be so easy to fiddle with us. Liu Bodu continued.

"You have a certain amount of truth, but the current strength of the Mongolian bandits far exceeds ours, the disparity in strength is too great, and the odds of victory are too small, what should we do?" Cai Yongzhen asked.

"Hard fighting is definitely not possible, we have to use our brains, now, if we want to eliminate the bandits, the first one must have a map." Liu Bodu said.

"Maps?" When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised.

"Yes, at the moment, we don't know anything about the geography of the bandits' sphere of activity, how can this be done? For example, where there are forests, where there are mountains, where there are rivers, where there are deserts, etc., and where is suitable for garrisons, where is suitable for ambushes, etc., how can we win a battle? "Therefore, a detailed map is very important to us." ”

"What Mr. Liu said is that without a map, we are blind," said Zhang Tianhe, "and therefore my suggestion is, first, that the orders of the Governor be carried out, and that there is no room for negotiation; Second, the one who immediately went to inquire about the movements of the bandits, and once he found any information, he immediately came back to report it. ”

"Yes, Commander Zhang, I promise to complete the task." That who said.

"Third, we need to send someone to get in touch with Ango Neng, who has infiltrated the bandits beforehand, and ask him to find a way to get us a map. Which of you dares to go? Zhang Tianhe asked.

"I, I dare to go."

Before Zhang Tianhe's words fell, he saw one person volunteering to speak.

Everyone saw that it was the thief Murong Wuying.

"At the critical moment, it's up to me Murong Daxia." Murong Wuying shook his head and said.

Zhang Tianhe looked at him and said, "You have done a good job, and you are suitable for this matter, but you must be careful." ”

"Commander Zhang, I have an opinion, I think your task is unfair, both of them have tasks, can it be said that I am a dry meal? You have to assign me a task too, otherwise, when the time comes, they will all make meritorious contributions, and I won't be able to get anything. A loud voice said.

Everyone saw that it was the stupid hero Li Tieniu, and they were all happy when they heard him say this.

"Well, the mission they both went on this time was very dangerous, and you were responsible for protecting the two of them, as long as they could come back safe and sound, even if you made a great contribution, what do you think?" Zhang Tianhe said with a smile.

"So, I'm their bodyguard?" Li Tieniu asked.

"You can say the same thing." Zhang Tianhe said.

"Then we are on the way, who listens to whom?" Li Tieniu asked again.

"Of course you listened to me." Murong Wuying said.

"Why?" Li Tieniu said unconvinced, "Are you taller than me, or stronger than me, why don't you listen to me?" ”

"With my three-inch tongue, I can live better than you."

"If you want to say that, then it's okay, listen to you, listen to you, but you have to take care of my beef and steamed buns every day." Li Tieniu said.

"Okay, it's not easy." Murong Wuying said.

"However, I may eat, don't worry about the money again, I can't eat, that's not good." Li Tieniu said.

"Don't worry."

The crowd was delighted.

"Big brother, do you have anything else to add?" Zhang Tianhe asked Du Lisi.

"No, but I want to ask, who are you going to appoint as the battalion commander of a battalion of troops that will be transferred over tomorrow morning?" Du Lisi asked.

"Then let Hua Yao be the battalion commander and Wu Sen be the deputy battalion commander, what do you think?" Zhang Tianhe asked.

"Yes." Du Lisi thought about it, after all, this Hua Yao and Wu Sen were also old subordinates of Heiyun Village, so he couldn't find anything wrong.

"Do you have any opinions?" Zhang Tianhe asked again, "We are democratic, and we can put forward any opinions at the meeting, whether they are right or wrong, but we are not allowed to discuss them behind our backs, let alone 'pull the mountain'." ”

"I'll have no problem waiting." And they said.

Because of Hua Yao and Wu Sen's skills, everyone knows it.

"Would you two be willing?" Zhang Tianhe asked Hua Yao and Wu Sen again.

"Commander Zhang, thank you and everyone for your love for our two brothers, but I think the two of us have just arrived in Pingquan Mansion, and we don't know much about many rules in the army, and we are worried that we will not be able to do it, so we should invite someone else." Hua Yao excused himself.

"Battalion Commander Hua, don't be too modest, I think the position of this battalion commander belongs to the two of you." Tang Dalong said.

"Yes, Battalion Commander Hua, Deputy Battalion Commander Wu, you just agree." And they said.

"Okay, then this battalion will be temporarily replaced by the two of us as battalion commanders, and there will be more suitable candidates in the future, and the two of us will give way at any time." Hua Yao saw that everyone had no opinions, so he agreed.

Early the next morning, sure enough, a battalion of men and horses drove over from Chengde.

Zhang Tianhe inspected the officers and soldiers of this battalion, accompanied by Du Lisi.

I saw that most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, with low morale, sighing, bowing their heads and drooping their heads, where was the appearance of an army.

After Zhang Tianhe saw it, he shook his head, and the anger in his heart didn't come to one place.

Du Lisi said: "Commander Zhang, are these people the officers and soldiers of the battalion they are talking about? The people laid off in Heiyun Village are also 10,000 times stronger than them, these people are estimated to have no food, go to the army to mess around, rubbing military salaries, you look at them, it is estimated that some of them can't even hold guns, can you expect them to fight the bandits? ”

"Big brother, it's better than nothing." Zhang Tianhe had no choice but to say so.

Hua Yao and Wu Sen took over the battalion.

"You two need to train them more, there is not much time left for you, we will leave the division as soon as the map is in hand, it is estimated that it will not be too long." Zhang Tianhe said to the two of them.

"Yes, rest assured, Commanders. We will definitely give them a new look in the shortest possible time. Hua Yao said.

"That's for the best. There are a lot of bandits, and we have to pay one to ten. Zhang Tianhe said.

Fortunately, in the afternoon of the same day, the Governor sent someone to send a batch of weapons and equipment, including 500 spears, 100,000 bullets, 10 mountain cannons, and 500 shells.
