When the bandits came to Bocai's camp and told the story as it was, Bocai didn't react.

It's just that Bo Cai felt a little sorry that this mountain bandit didn't have any impact on the army of the imperial court, and originally thought that the soldiers of the imperial court killed these mountain bandits, and they could take advantage of the mountain bandits' character to double their revenge, but the other party's general directly killed dozens of people by himself, and he was still a martial artist, which made the mountain bandits have no other ideas.

"Looks like we're going to have to make a plan."

Hearing Bo Cai say this, He Man asked, "Do you want to call them all?" ”

Bo Cai nodded, as if he thought of something, and stopped He Man.

"Wu Ba forget it, everyone else will be informed."

He Man responded with a strange expression, and then informed the person to go.

It's not that Bocai wants to isolate Wu Ba, if Wu Ba knows that it is useless to let the mountain bandits harass this method before, it is inevitable that he will be there again.

After all, none of them know how to march and fight, so they can only try over and over again, not to mention that the situation of the other party only knows a rough idea.

It wasn't until a few people came over that Bo asked the bandit to tell the story again.

"You said that the man's name is Zhu Jun?"

The bandit nodded.

Bocai looked at Huang Shao and asked, "Do you know him?" ”

Huang Shao had a thoughtful expression, organized his words, and then told everyone what he knew about Zhu Jun.

"It seems that our opponent is not simple."

Immediately Bo Cai smiled heartily, "Although I don't know what this person's strength is, I'm not a vegetarian either." What's more, since he personally came out to pursue them, this just shows that the generals under him can't keep these people, and your strength is not weak. ”

Seeing Bo Cai say this, everyone present except Huang Shao felt that what his boss said was right.

Seeing Huang Shao's worried look, Bo Cai patted him on the shoulder and said, "If the generals under him are really powerful, will he surrender his identity and come out to pursue?" Unless he doesn't trust his men. ”

After pondering what he said, Huang Shao also felt that there was some truth.

Dealing with dozens of mountain bandits, if it is an ordinary person, it is definitely not good, even if it is a more powerful ordinary person, it will inevitably be injured, so it should be that except for Zhu Jun, the rest of the people are at most powerful, just like a few of them.

Seeing that Huang Shao was no longer entangled, He Yi said: "Our current strength, we have roughly explored it, but we don't know their armament, and they shouldn't know our troops." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and motioned for He Yi to continue.

"I think we can divide our forces to ambush each other, after all, the other party is the army of the imperial court, even if it is not clear, but it must be much better than us."

Several people agreed to the plan.

After He Yi's reminder, Bo thought of a plan, and he told everyone.

Since it is the other party who is crusading against themselves and others, they have the final say on the location of the battlefield. And there is an open space outside the city of Xuxian County, and there are hillsides on both sides as cover to hide, so it is completely possible to put the battlefield here. And according to the time, it will take at least two days or so to get here, and all the preparations can be made.

The specific implementation is to place the camp tent outside and move the defensive fence forward, so that there is no problem with distance.

Send a few groups of cavalry to lie in ambush behind the rear, and when the battle starts, surprise the enemy's rear. At the same time, several teams of archers were ambushed on the high places on the slopes of the hills on both sides, and they would act when the time came.

After finalizing the plan, several people looked at Bocai with admiration, but they didn't expect the boss of the five big and three thick to think about this.

Huang Shao looked around and found that there seemed to be one less person present, so he asked Bo Cai, "Boss, is there one person missing?" ”

Bo Cai said indifferently: "You said Wu Ba, I thought he was noisy, and I didn't let anyone inform him." ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

They don't think that Bo Cai has done too much, Wu Ba's strength is there, but he always feels that he lacks a string in his brain, so he likes to be reckless. Fortunately, Wu Ba followed the boss from the beginning, and only the boss could restrain him. Even if you know that you didn't notify him to come to the meeting today, at most you will lose your temper and complain.

He Man looked at the mountain bandit and said, "Go back and tell your master, we won't let you help in vain this time." ”

When this man heard He Man say this, he turned his head to look at Bo Cai, after all, this person was their leader. Although Bocai didn't understand why He Man said this, he still nodded.

Seeing that the leaders of the other party nodded in agreement, he hurriedly thanked him, and then left happily. As for the dead brothers? Who's going to care about them?

When the bandits were gone, Bo Cai asked He Man why he did this.

"The purpose of this is that if we encounter such a situation in the future, we can speak again, at least they can help us find out some information, and we can reduce some losses, and in the long run, they can also be equivalent to our support." ”

Bo Cai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay! Do as you say! ”

After everything was arranged, Bo Cai found Wu Ba and told him that he would fight with the imperial army in two days, and also told him the plan.

Wu Ba now felt that he was really aggrieved, and he couldn't hide the look of loss on his face.

Bo Cai looked at Wu Ba's expression, and slapped over, "You kid just don't clean up!" Your participation in the discussion is also to block me, and when the time comes, you will be the first to rush me. ”

When Wu Ba heard the boss say this, he immediately smiled.

As soon as he heard that he was the first to rush to the first person, Wu Ba had no grievances, "Boss, what you said!" I'll rush to the first one, and promise to kill him on his back! ”

Bocai shook his head helplessly.

……

A day later, Zhu Jun's team was still a day's way away from the distance of Xu County, calculated the time, and continued to act for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.

Finding an open place, Zhu Jun motioned for the team to stop, and then instructed Ge Chuanyou: "Inform the whole army to set up camp here!" ”

The order was delivered, and all the soldiers went into action. Some of the men set up tents, some of them cut down wood for fence defense, and the cavalry and scouts patrolled and guarded the surrounding area.

After a few hours, all the tents were set up, and hundreds of tents occupied the open plain.

After some of the soldiers had eaten, they took turns cutting wood to make fences for protection, and all the generals were notified by Zhu Jun to the main camp.

When everyone arrived, Zhu Jun began the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are still about eighty miles away from the enemy, and the march will take about three or four hours. Tell us what you think. ”

The captain of the infantry battalion said, "General, we don't know anything about them, so I think it's better to let the scouts investigate first." ”

After hearing this, the rest of the people also echoed the same idea.

Seeing that everyone agreed with him, the man continued: "And general, look at these two positions, it is easy to be ambushed by the other party in advance, so it is best not to approach these two positions when fighting, and try to pull the battle line towards our side." ”

Looking at the captain of the infantry battalion, Zhu Jun asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Under Yan Zhong."

"How many scouts are there?"

Yan Zhong replied: "There are 400 people in the scout camp, and half of them are currently on guard around the camp. ”

After pondering for a while, Zhu Jun arranged, "Send a hundred scouts to the enemy camp to investigate the news, mainly based on the distribution of the opponent's troops, and we will get the news before noon tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"

Later, Zhu Jun found Lu Tian and asked about the extermination of the mountain bandits.

At that time, when Zhu Jun returned to the team, he arranged for Lu Tian to lead a thousand-strong Yue cavalry battalion to exterminate the mountain bandits.

Lu Tian told Zhu Jun that there were a total of five cottages that were encircled and suppressed, and more than 1,000 mountain bandits were exterminated, among which a lot of grain, grass and money were harvested. There are still many homeless people in these cottages, all of whom have been detained by the mountain bandits, and now they have all been released and let them leave in the direction of Chaoyang Zhai County.

Zhu Jun didn't expect that the harvest of this bandit was not bad, Lu Tian said a lot, and there was a certain amount of it.

Then he asked, "What about the battle damage?" ”

"A total of dozens of people were injured, but all were minor injuries, and no one was seriously injured or killed."

For this result, it is not to say that it is satisfied, nor is it dissatisfied.

Among them, he didn't know how Lu Tian was deployed, but there were only more than 1,000 bandits in the five mountains, an average of about 200 people, and their own armaments were all elite troops, and dozens of people could be injured when they went out to fight, so it seemed that these people were really idle in Beijing. The advantage of crushing can also injure dozens of people, and I have to say that the comfortable life in the forbidden army has made these soldiers a little slack.

Zhu Jun said lightly: "In the future, when fighting, let them rush to the front." ”

"Yes!"

After a casual stroll, Zhu Jun went back to his tent to rest.

At noon the next day, the scout brought back the news, and Zhu Jun also knew the general situation of the other party.

It's just that he didn't expect the other party to set up the camp outside the city gate, and the purpose of this can only be guessed, either the other party has a lot of troops, and the population of the general county town is about 10,000 people, and the other party's troops exceed this number, or they are pretentious and make themselves mistakenly think that the other party has many troops.

Ge Chuanyou stepped forward and said, "My lord, why don't you let me wait as the vanguard to attack first and test the other party's situation." ”

Seeing that the deputy general Ge Chuanyou took the initiative to ask for his life, the other lieutenants and generals also asked for battle, hoping that they could fight together.

Looking at everyone, Zhu Jun also made up his mind in his heart, and said: "In this case, Ge Chuanyou listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Deploy 3,000 elite soldiers from each battalion, bury the fire in the stove on the fifth watch, set off lightly on the sixth watch, prepare for the seventh watch, and the captain of the fifth battalion will go with me to meet this gang of yellow turban thieves, and the rest will stay in the camp."

"No!"

Then the captain of the fifth battalion left the camp tent to deploy his men.

It was still half a day's journey from the other party's stronghold, and it would take about three to four hours to calculate the transit time for eighty miles. The fifth watch makes a fire to cook, one hour is enough for the soldiers to eat enough, the sixth watch can save some physical strength for the soldiers to set off lightly, and the seventh watch is ready for battle in advance.
