Xiong Wei followed Xiong Yanbi to Liaodong.

After Xiong Tingbi took office, he arrested Li Shanghao, the governor of Zhizhou, who was about to escape, and beheaded the fugitive general Liu Yujie and others in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Yang Hao, the former Liaodong Jingluo, was arrested by Xiong Tingbi and sent to Beijing to be imprisoned, and the former Liaodong general Li Rubai (the son of Li Chengliang, the only general soldier who was not annihilated in the defeat of Sarhu) committed suicide after being recalled to Beijing.

Xiong Wei was very in favor of Xiong Yanbi's approach, and he also believed in his heart that this general would definitely be able to recover Liaodong.

The wind of the summer night was blowing warmly, and the bright moonlight was shining on the earth.

Xiong Wei hurriedly walked to Xiong Yanbi's big tent.

"My lord, what's the matter with summoning your subordinates?" Xiong Wei said with a salute to Xiong Yanbi.

Xiong Yanbi was burying his head to look at the map of Liaodong, and when he heard Xiong Wei coming, he didn't raise his head, and beckoned Xiong Wei with his hand and said, "Come, come, come." Analyze the form of Liaodong with me, I am trying to discuss with someone. ”

Xiong Wei was a little stunned when he heard this, since he came to Liaodong, Xiong Yanbi has always been lukewarm to himself, but he didn't expect Xiong Yanbi to let him discuss the form of Liaodong together today, which made Xiong Wei feel a little flattered.

"Come on, come on, what are you doing?" Xiong Yanbi looked up at Xiong Wei still standing there motionless, and shouted again.

"Oh!" said Xiong Wei, hurrying over.

Xiong Yanbi pointed to the map and said, "You see, now that Kaiyuan has been lost, there are a few places that are still more important. Qinghe and Fushun are still relatively important, and I plan to send troops to guard these intersections. ”

"General, I don't think it's enough to just send troops to defend it. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Xiong Yanbi looked at Xiong Yan suspiciously.

"When I was in Kaiyuan, I heard the common people say that when Li Chengliang was there, the reason why Nurhachi did not dare to invade was because they were all soldiers and were ready all the time. I think ......"

Xiong Wei expressed his views on defending the city and made several suggestions.

He believes that all the cities in Liaodong have been damaged to varying degrees due to the war, and now the cities should be repaired, after all, the cities are the first line of defense to block the enemy.

The repair of the city does not need to be repaired by the common people, but by the soldiers. In this way, the suffering of the common people can be spared, and the soldiers can also strengthen their physical strength.

This does not mean that the people have nothing to do.

The common people should open up wasteland for farming and ensure the supply of grain to the frontline. When marching and fighting, insufficient food supply is a taboo in the army, which will shake the morale of the army.

In their spare time, the people should also practice, and they should not be left without the strength of the chickens, and they should also be properly given certain weapons. In case of a sneak attack, the people also have the ability to be prepared.

Secondly, in addition to training the soldiers, it is necessary to strengthen their weapons. The area around Liaodong was already rich in iron ore, and it was developed to make weapons.

Nurhachi's troops had good horse archery skills, and the soldiers generally used broadswords. Most of the weapons of the Han army were only swords and guns.

In view of this, you can create more weapons and let soldiers choose their own suitable weapons, so that when they start a war, they will not affect their combat effectiveness because weapons are in the way.

In addition, in response to the fact that Nurhachi's cavalry is very powerful, it is possible to make armor that cannot be shot through with arrows, and improve the quality of the armor.

"Armor that can't be shot through with arrows?" Xiong Yanbi was a little puzzled when he heard Xiong Wei's words. Puzzled, he asked, "How do you make this?" ”

"I heard that Xiuyan in Liaodong is rich in jade, and we can use jade to fill the armor and the position of the soldier's heart with jade, so that it will be better. If the amount of jade is sufficient, you can make a jade robe for each soldier. ”

"You have this idea...... Xiong Yanbi hesitated for a moment and continued, "When did you think of it?" ”

"My subordinate just thought of it. Actually, I'm not sure that this method will work. But it's better to think about it than not to think about it, and it's better to do it than not to do it well. Xiong Wei lowered his head and said firmly.

"Haha! It's good for young people to dare to think and do. Xiong Yanbi smiled with relief, he was worried that Xiong Wei would cause him trouble, and he was still hesitating why he brought Xiong Wei over without thinking about it at that time. Now that I look at it, I think too much.

Xiong Wei scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "If this method doesn't work, then let's think of other ways." Anyway, we can't let our equipment be so bad that Nurhachi's army can be broken in one blow. ”

"Okay! I'll take care of these things. Xiong Yanbi said and walked out and patted Xiong Wei's shoulder.

Xiong Wei suddenly knelt down on one knee, gave Xiong Yanbi a big salute and said, "The subordinates haven't finished their words yet, and there is still one thing that the subordinates dare not say." ”

"If you have anything to say, speak directly, and I will forgive you for your innocence. Xiong Yanbi is also a bold person, he knows that Xiong Wei has something unspeakable when he sees Xiong Wei kneeling like this.

"General, my subordinates would like to ask you to personally inspect the cities I just mentioned that need to be heavily guarded. First, we can comfort the soldiers and see if they have some practical problems that have not been solved, and second, by the way, we can observe the people's feelings, give the people some confidence, and tell them with actions that we will definitely be able to defeat Nurhachi and hold on to Liaodong!"

"Haha!" Xiong Yanbi laughed a few times after hearing this, "If you don't say it, I also have this intention." Fighting a war cannot be fought on paper. However, you also missed a point, I will personally survey the terrain of each city, set up guards, and tell them that if Nurhachi comes to attack him, it will be true. ”

When Xiong Wei heard this, Xiong Yanbi was indeed an old general who had been fighting for many years, and he really didn't expect that with Xiong Yanbi here, it would be a matter of time before Liaodong was recovered.

Xiong Wei admired the general in his heart, and saluted him again and said, "The general is wise!"

"There's one more thing I want you to do. Xiong Yanbi patted Xiong Wei's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"What is the general's command. ”

"I want you to pick a squad of soldiers and train them well. ”

Xiong Wei frowned, and he immediately guessed what Xiong Yanbi meant and said, "General, you want to sneak attack Nurhachi." ”

When Xiong Yanbi heard Xiong Wei's words, he was overjoyed and said excitedly: "You really know my mind so well. I didn't expect you and I to know my heart so well not long after we met. You're such a talent. ”

Xiong Wei was a little embarrassed, and he continued: "Because I used to do this kind of thing a lot. ”

"Haha!" these words made Xiong Yanbi laugh.

"Since the general is going to inspect various places, there is one more thing for his subordinates to ask the general to handle. ”

Xiong Yanbi looked at Xiong Wei suspiciously.

Xiong continued to express his opinion.

Nowadays, there are not many soldiers in the Xiong Wei army.

There were many soldiers who had deserted before. Most of the reasons are because Yang Hao's command is unfavorable, and people are unwilling to follow him to death.

General Xiong Yanbi is back now, can you post a notice to inform the soldiers and let them come back. At the same time, if there are young people who want to serve the motherland, they can also join us. In this way, you can expand the number of people in your team and increase your power.

When such a soldier comes, he is a native of his hometown. Even if you run away, you will flee from your hometown, and your hometown is here. Of course, they will defend their homeland to the death. They are close to home and can go home to visit their relatives at any time to solve the problem of not being able to take care of their loved ones.

Second, they have lived here since they were children, and they know many things that Xiong Wei doesn't know. They know more about the topography and customs here than Xiong Wei, and they are much easier to fight than us.

There will be no adaptation. Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if they become deserters one day, they know where they will live and where they will die.

In this way, even if Xiong Yanbi is not in Liaodong one day. The people of Liaodong have also developed a good system and customs, and the soldiers of Liaodong also have the ability to protect their hometowns. After a long time, the soldiers can go home to help their relatives in agriculture when there is no war.

And the grain grown by their relatives in the rear is sent to the front line for their brothers and sons to eat, and they will not care too much, after all, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Xiong Wei firmly repeated another sentence: "Use your own people to protect your homeland, and the effect will be unexpected!"

Xiong Yanbi listened to Xiong Wei's words and was very surprised, he didn't expect Xiong Wei to be so far-sighted at such a young age. He exclaimed, "You have thought it through so much that it really makes me look at it differently." ”

"The general has won the award. In fact, Xiong Wei just thinks about the problem from their point of view. If I were them, what would I do and what I hope. Compare your heart to your heart, and you will know how to do it. ”

"If you are an official in the court, you must be a good official who loves the people like a son. Xiong Yanbi praised again. He really likes this kid Xiong Wei.

A smug smile appeared on Xiong Wei's face, and he scratched his head a little unnaturally and said, "I am also serving the motherland by following the general!"

After that, Xiong Tingbi personally inspected the key passes of Sanyang, Qinghe, Fushun, Chaihe, Sanchaer, and Zhenjiang, and personally deployed in these places.

After Xiong Yanbi came back, he guarded Shenyang.

Xiong Wei used his personally trained soldiers to harass Nurhachi's troops from time to time.

They came to the tent of the Nurhachi tribe and hid in the bushes.

"You two go up, and one of you will take care of the guards. Then I rushed over with the rest of the people. You kill a few soldiers and run, and I'll kill the general. The old rule, when retreating, I cushion behind. Xiong Wei began to deploy his men.

As soon as Xiong Wei finished speaking, the people on his left and right jumped into the air, and one of them threw down the other, and the dagger in his hand quickly cut their throats.

Xiong Wei also got up and rushed directly into the general's tent that he had long taken a fancy to.

He was so fast that before Nurhachi's general could react, he was rushed over and cut his neck.

Xiong Wei did not love to fight, killed people and quickly withdrew. Launched the camp tent and learned three bird calls.

When everyone heard the order, they also withdrew.

This is not the first time Xiong has killed Nurhachi's general.

During this period of time, Xiong Wei felt that he had really become a killer, an excellent killer.

An excellent killer does not kill people because of money, not because of hatred, not because the killer organization has a task assigned to you, and you kill people like a killing machine, and it is not because you get the false name of the "number one killer in the world" on the rivers and lakes to kill.

An excellent killer kills people when the motherland needs them, in order to defend the country and to defend their fathers and fellow citizens.

The standard for measuring an excellent killer is not to measure how high his killer's skills are, not to measure how many people he has killed, but to measure his purpose and motive for killing, and most importantly, what is the meaning of his killing?

He has been a killer for so many years, and today he finally found the meaning of being a killer, and he thinks it's cool for him to kill people.

Although Jean, many years ago, he also killed corrupt officials for the sake of the people. But now, he feels that his life has taken on a new meaning.

Xiong Tingbi's strategy was to focus on defense, oppose the wave war, and unite with North Korea to contain Houjin, which was very effective. In addition, Xiong Wei brought people to harass them from time to time, and the Houjin army did not dare to enter lightly, and Liaodong also restored peace.

Not only that, but with the cooperation of Xiong Wei and Xiong Yanbi, they also recovered part of the lost territory in Liaodong.
