The discussion is indeed talented, and after thinking about it for a day and a night, along the way, Chen Yuzhu also made Yang Kai's current predicament clear to him.

Because of the perennial experience of assisting the county to manage Shangnan, he also has a lot of experience in grasping the direction of the people's will. From the time Gao Yingen ordered the beheading of Zhixian, he had already thought about what conditions he would use to reflect his value if it was his turn next.

So, he and Yang Kai said that the people in the city are overview, the river outside the city of Shangnan runs through, the road along the river is widely fertile land, the thoroughfare of the three provinces, the business is prosperous, although the people occasionally starve, but it is not difficult to make a living, and it is not easy for everyone to abandon the peace and surrender.

However, the people in the city, although the fiasco of the camp in Heishuiyu is also cloudy, but since the arrest of King Chuang, there has been no news of execution, and it is suggested that it can be tampered with.

Yang Kai was empowered, and immediately ordered Shang Rong to draft an article, headed by Chen Yuzhu, and let his fox friends in the city assist, and secretly publicized the news of King Chuang's turn from danger to safety in the city.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety and stability of the families of those who have joined the army, they have borrowed the slogan of "promoting the ugly, only meritocracy, and rewarding merit" to give a double guarantee.

Discussed and dealt with the recruitment details, and after a day, the effect was remarkable, and Yang Kai accepted all the hundreds of people, listed two teams of 100 people, and handed them over to Chen Yuzhu and Discussion to command.

With the rest of the time, each formation sent five old brothers to teach simple weapon use and fighting techniques, and promoted Cao Mang and Han Bin to be the two deputy Qianhu in the battalion, and Yang Kai to lead the whole army. Let the people under him recommend two brothers to come up and take the place of the hundred households, so as to build a thousand cavalry troops, and the rest of the people are temporarily used as gang leaders and miscellaneous soldiers to repair ordnance.

In the idle chat, I also learned an important news from the discussion, the caravan from Henan passed through Shangnan earlier, and revealed the situation of returning to the camp in Henan.

But this news is destined not to be detailed, only that the thieves who returned to the camp went to the direction of Kaifeng after suffering Qin Yiming's fiasco from Shangzhou and entering Henan.

Combined with the fact that they have advanced eastward so far, they have not encountered a large-scale team returning to the camp around, and they have not even been able to inquire about the news, so it can be seen that they should have advanced eastward with the whole battalion.

Do they want to open the seal?

A thought suddenly popped into Yang Kai's mind, and he carefully considered the route on the map for a long time.

Earlier, he learned from his eldest brother and others that Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others were already active in Henan and other places when they wanted to attack Xi'an. Shangzhou to the east straight into the Lushi city county, to the north is the big city of Luoyang, every big city, must be heavily guarded, they bypass Luoyang and go straight to the direction of Kaifeng, avoid the enemy's strong army to attack its weak, maybe there is a chance to town.

During this period of time, Yang Kai also had a general understanding of the way the thieves fought, not that they couldn't occupy the city-state, but if they occupied the city-state, they needed to concentrate their forces to hold on, and in the face of the Ming army's reinforcements from all directions, even if they concentrated their forces to hold on, where would the food and equipment come from? Among them, the complicated resource allocation and logistics supplement are destined to make it difficult for them to open up the situation.

There is no way, this is the limitation of the Liukou, without the support of a strong regime, it is impossible to sweep away the Ming army on one side, even if they occupy the city, there is not much room for development, and the major battalion leaders should also take into account all this, so they will always be so mobile and fighting.

Regardless of victory or defeat, at least the capture of the city, the vital force that can be guaranteed, the vast disaster area, and the people who are deeply oppressed will become their continuous supply of fresh blood, and at the same time, the mobility they have mastered also gives the Ming army several headaches, so the formation of a cycle, coupled with the Qing army in the north of the Great Wall, is probably to ensure that they are invincible.

Finally, back to the issue of Kaifeng, Yang Kai had already made up his mind. Whenever they attack a big city and town, it is when these thieves become famous, and Fengyang City soon achieves Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others?

They want to regroup in this new camp, of course it is not enough to rely on the weight of Gao Yingen's identity, they also need enough military exploits, if they can catch up with each other to return to the camp and wait for the righteous army to attack and open the seal, this military exploit can be described as a relief in the snow for this down-and-out camp.

As long as the reputation is opened, many things will come naturally. Yang Kai and Shang discussed the situation in Henan, expressed their opinions, and kept discussing until noon, and the soldiers brought food before stopping.

In general, what the discussion has learned about the movements of the Ming army is still more than that of Yang Kai, Lu Xiangsheng is mostly a doppelganger at this time, and the Qing army has offended the Great Wall, and Chongzhen has been calling his king for a long time. Does Zu Kuan, who appeared in Heishuiyu earlier, indicate that he has entered Shaanxi and discussed the war in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo with Hong Chengchou?

Now that the war situation in Shaanxi is tentative, he has no excuse to stay, and it is inevitable to enter the court, so there is only Zuo Liangyu left in Henan. Yang Kai had heard of this person's name, but he was not impressed, thinking that it was not Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou, after analyzing the entire battle situation, Yang Kai couldn't help but have his heart beat faster.

After he invited Discussion to have dinner together, he asked Discussion to go back to rest for a while, and was about to quickly discuss his intentions and analysis of the battle situation with the two elder brothers, but found that the pro-soldiers at the door were not there, and asked the reason.

It turned out that he had been busy recruiting troops and analyzing the battle situation, and forgot to go to the woman who was tied to the room, and the woman was not stupid, after breaking free of the rope, seeing that there was no chance to escape, he tied the rope back himself. At the behest of Yang Kai, the soldiers went out to play all night and came back, and they had already regarded her as Yang Kai's woman, so they naturally wouldn't examine it in detail, but they just wondered why the head of the house was still not a man, so they stood outside the door and waited for him to come out and gently remind him.

But at this time, all Yang Kai thought in his heart was such a meritorious thing, how could he have the time to take off his pants and go to the room for a turn, he just raised his head and gave his own soldiers a few bursts, scolded a few words, and hurried away.

Who knew that Yang Kai had just gone, and Yan Hou had come again, and it was Han Bin who asked him to pass on the training of those recruits, and the general situation was that the reformers had already been taught, and the rest was all about the experience of receiving blood on the battlefield.

After Yan Hou entered the door, he didn't find Yang Kai, so he didn't dare to go back, and when he saw the soldier covering his head and looking helpless, he sat down and chatted while waiting.

Who knew that after Yan Hou heard the pain in the heart of the pro-soldier, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and scolded him for his incompleteness, and explained to him bitterly, saying that Yang Kai did not mean to be empty, that is, he wanted him to take him on the road and get it again, so as to relieve the lack of long-distance marching.

The pro-soldiers woke up.

Han Bin and Cao Mang were taken aback by their bold ideas.

Although Yang Kai and Discussion could be said to have reached a consensus, but on the real battlefield, he still wanted to ask the opinions of the two elder brothers, after all, compared to himself, they had been charging forward with Yang Taisui all the year round, and they had a better understanding of the situation outside than him.

The plan of four people is longer than the plan of two.

It is reported that Henan since the beginning of Chongzhen three years, there has been a drought year after year, there is no harvest in autumn, wheat is difficult to plant, there is no grass in the wild, and ten rooms are empty. The two elder brothers had followed the eldest brother in Henan and other places earlier, and they should still remember clearly that we have a large army of at least seven or eight thousand people, and such a huge army, where it passes, small cities and small counties cannot avoid it, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, and it is not difficult to enter the Kaifeng border smoothly. ”

Yang Kai said the details of his dissection with the discussion.

Hearing this, Han Bin paced down and said: "Brother Kai'er, you should know that it is difficult to become a combat force among the coerced people, and the people we can actually fight are still those old brothers, counting the men and horses under the other old management teams, I am afraid that the number of people who can fight is less than 4,000, and the combat power is not strong."

You must know that if the war has started in Kaifeng, we are in a hurry, I am afraid that we will not be able to return to the camp and divide the troops, and we will have to fight alone, and this plan may be ......."

"Tell me about your judgment of the Battle of Kaifeng." Cao Mang frowned, he weighed it again and again in his heart, didn't say anything, and suddenly asked softly.

He has always been like this, he is meticulous, and he must understand things in detail before making judgments.

"Now that the general trend is like this, it is almost impossible for us to train the people below to the skills of our old brothers. It is expected that he has a perennial famine in Henan, and is full of thieves and thieves, and the Ming court has been in arrears for a long time, so it must be that the people are sparse and the army is weak, and the soldiers with combat power are nothing more than the servants of those generals.

King Lu Yan has already gone to Shaanxi again, and we only need to deal with Zuo Liangyu when we enter Henan this time. If you advance, you will divide the merits of the war, and if you lose, you will return to repair, and the officers and troops will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the goal should also be on those famous battalion leaders, and we will be famous after this battle, and then take the city and set up the flag, and the defeated generals will all come to vote, isn't it also a beautiful thing? ”

"The key also depends on the battle with the official army, our battalion has thousands of cavalry, especially good at field warfare, attacking cities and conquering land, and does not show an advantage." Cao Mang was stunned for a moment. "Do you want to ......?"

"I've got it all arranged."

"Then you can give it a try." Cao Mang nodded slowly.

Han Bin heard Yang Kai's analysis of the truth, and opened his mouth several times, but he was speechless several times. He was naturally not worried, but he also knew that he would do what he could, he had never been afraid of field battles, and the horsemen were already powerless to attack the city, not to mention that Gao Yingxiang ordered an attack on Chuzhou in Nanzhili, but there were lessons from the past.

The firearms in the city will be their worst enemy, but the whole plan is down, the risks and gains are together, once the front things are done, they will rise to a height that they have never reached in so many years with Big Brother.

Since he couldn't find a reason to object, it was feasible, Yang Kai and Cao Mang both looked at him, of course he couldn't show weakness, and sat on the stool: "Then go and give it a try." ”

With the consent of the two, Yang Kai calmed down.

The rest is that he still needs to find a suitable reason to talk to Gao Yingendao.

The gold, silver, and food of the city government were not under his control, and he couldn't reveal his future plans too obviously, after all, their current team was too sharp among several old managers, and it also caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
