The two strategies that Zhang Yan offered to Liu Miao were the result of his thinking about it.

The first strategy was to have the generals under Zhang Yan's account responsible for training Liu Yan's army.

Zhang Yan's second strategy was to let Liu Xuan, in the name of the state assassin history, appease Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and other thieves, promise high-ranking officials Houlu, let them conquer Sun Ce, and when Sun Ce was repulsed, he appointed them as officials.

After hearing this, Liu Xuan agreed with Zhang Yan's first strategy, but opposed the second strategy.

In his heart, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others are all out-and-out thieves, who do all kinds of evil such as robbing homes and houses, burning, killing and looting.

Two years ago, Liu Miao had successively conscripted Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji, these thieves, Zu Lang and Jiao had been beaten successively, and they were forced to jump into the mountains, not daring to invade the places under Liu Miao's jurisdiction. Yan Baihu saw that Liu Miao was powerful, so he surrendered without a fight.

For Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji led a group of rabble, which was not enough to fight against Sun Ce, and it was not worth his appeasement.

Zhang Yan did not dare to agree with Liu Xuan's opinion, and said to Liu Xuan: "Now that Sun Ce is sharp, although Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others are all a group of rabble, they can have an impact on the momentum. What's more, these thieves occupy the top of the mountain, do not belong to each other, crisscross the mountains, if you want to encircle and suppress, it is very difficult. It is better to adopt a gentle strategy, first send someone Haode to appease Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others, and then use the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people, let them attack Sun Ce, and wait until they are both defeated. Our army strikes again. will definitely be able to calm Sun Ce in a battle! ”

Liu Miao said: "That being said. However, these thieves often robbed houses, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, if they were recruited, even if they could use them to drive away Sun Ce, the tiger, they would also attract a group of vicious wolves. I'm afraid that if these thieves don't change their bad habits, they will harm the local people, and then the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

For Zhang Yan's strategy. Liu Miao also knew that this was a very good strategy, so that he would not have to lose his troops. But he also knows the temperament of these thieves, who surrender today and rebel again tomorrow. Moreover, these thieves do not have a unified leadership, even the three larger sect commanders Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Zize are only publicly promoted and under the hands of these three people. There are also many big and small bosses, all fighting for their own interests.

Liu Miao was in the history of Yangzhou in these years. I often deal with these thieves who are united with Shanyue, so I know the living habits of these thieves very well, and I don't bother to use these thieves at all, and I can't use them.

In fact, Zhang Yan is also very clear about the repetition of these thieves. But in his opinion, there are two sides to everything, and Zhang Yan takes a fancy to the capricious habits of these thieves.

The thieves' combat ability will definitely be a little inferior compared to Sun Ce's army, so when driving the thieves to attack Sun Ce's army, with Sun Ce's army's courage and good fighting, the thief army is not an opponent at all, and if they are forced, they will definitely surrender to Sun Ce.

If the more thieves surrender, the greater the instability of Sun Ce's army, as long as they are used well, they may be able to use these thieves to mess up Sun Ce's army.

It is for this reason that Zhang Yan chose to appease the thieves, promising to be a high-ranking official, knowing that he could not fight against Sun Ce, but still wanted to do it.

It's a pity that Liu Miao doesn't think so. Liu Miao thinks that once he appeases the thieves, it is tantamount to luring the wolf into the house. Sun Ce treated the occupied city without committing any offense against Minqiu, and if the thieves were coming, once they were greedy, they would loot the city, which would make the people panic and make them hurt.

Therefore, Liu Miao would rather confront Sun Ce alone than appease these thieves.

Zhang Yan saw that Liu Miao was resolute and didn't say anything anymore, so he took Tai Shici and said goodbye to Liu Miao.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered something, so he said to Liu Xuan: "Oh, by the way, Liu Yuanjun, I hope Liu Yuanjun can give me an answer as soon as possible about the matter I mentioned to you just now." ”

Liu Miao knew that Zhang Yan was talking about proposing marriage to his daughter on behalf of Tai Shici, so he just nodded lightly, but did not speak.

After Zhang Yan and Tai Shi Ci left Liu Yan's mansion, as soon as they went out, Tai Shi Ci walked quickly to Zhang Yan's front, and bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan: "Lord, the matter of proposing marriage, the subordinates will completely entrust it to the lord!" ”

"Don't worry, it's all on me." Zhang Yan patted his chest and said with a confident smile.

Zhang Yan and Tai Shici returned to the barracks one after another, although Liu Miao did not agree to the matter of appeasing Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji, but in Zhang Yan's opinion, he had to do it.

So, Zhang Yan asked people to find Chen Deng and informed Chen Deng of Liu Xuan's refusal to appease Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others.

After hearing this, Chen Deng stroked the green beard on his chin, and asked, "Is the lord thinking that although Liu Miao refused, this strategy can still be implemented by our army?" ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said to Chen Deng, "Exactly." It's just that when our army first arrived in Jiangdong, it was not as prestigious as Liu Xuan, and if we wanted to appease Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others, I was afraid that it would be a little difficult. I don't know what solution Yuanlong has? ”

Chen Deng said: "Lord Qiqi, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao are all brave and unscrupulous, but they only became the sect marshal by relying on their bravery. The lord might as well leave this matter to me to do, within ten days, I will definitely succeed in appeasing Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others, and let them lead the army to come to support! It's just ......"

Zhang Yan asked Chen Deng to come, just to let Chen Deng complete this matter, but he didn't expect Chen Deng to ask to go to appease him without waiting for him to speak. He hurriedly asked, "Just what?" Yuanlong, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Chen Deng said: "It's just that I still need someone to walk with me, if this person can go with me, then the matter of appeasement will be half the effort!" ”

"Who is this man?" Zhang Yan asked hurriedly.

"Tai Shi Ci!" Chen Deng replied unhurriedly.

Zhang Yan no longer asked Chen Deng to ask Tai Shici to walk with him, nor was he ready to ask Chen Deng what method he wanted to use, since Chen Deng dared to volunteer to take over this important task. It shows that Chen Deng is already in his chest.

Thereupon. Zhang Yan said to Chen Deng: "In addition to letting Tai Shici and Yuanlong go together. Does Yuanlong have any other requirements? ”

"It's gone!" Chen Deng replied crisply.

Subsequently, Zhang Yan asked Tai Shici to be called to the camp and asked him to follow Chen Deng to carry out the important task of appeasement.

Tai Shici listened, did not refuse, immediately cleaned up, and left Moling with Chen Deng, first to Jing County, which was occupied by Zulang, and then to She County, where Jiao was already located. Zuihou went to Wu County to find Yan Baihu.

Chen Deng and Tai Shici each rode a war horse and wore a strong suit, and only the two of them went to Jing County side by side.

Moreover, along the way, Tai Shici had to follow Chen Deng's instructions.

After Chen Deng and Tai Shici left, Xue Li came to see Zhang Yan with Liu Xuan's order.

Liu Miao agreed to the suggestion that Zhang Yan's generals should train the army, and now sent Xue Li to supervise the completion of the matter.

Thereupon. Zhang Yan took Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, two generals, and followed Xue Li to the school field.

On the school grounds. At first glance, the military appearance is very neat, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the soldiers in the army are uneven, the queue is also crooked, and many soldiers are standing listlessly.

With such an army, it's no wonder that it always loses to Sun Ce!

After reading this, Zhang Yan felt that there were countless places where the army needed to be adjusted, and he was also full of confidence in training these soldiers.

At this time, Xue Li called Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, and under Xue Li's supervision, he and Zhang Yan handled the matter of handing over the army.

Liu Miao now has 28,000 soldiers, only 8,000 of whom stood on the school ground to receive training from Zhang Yan, and the remaining 20,000 were still under the command of Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, stationed at the east and west gates of Moling City respectively.

Accompanied by Xue Li, Zhang Yan boarded the Dianjiang platform, looked around at the 8,000 soldiers under the Dianjiang platform, and shouted loudly: "From now on, I will be responsible for training you." I will first say the ugly words in the front, during the time you are receiving the training, whenever and wherever you are, my words are an order, and anyone who dares to disobey will be immediately punished. Apart from this, you must not obey the commands of others, including your lords. In other words, during this period of intensive training, you can only obey my orders alone. Do you get it? ”

"Got it......"

Under the stage, there was a weak voice.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he was very unhappy, and immediately said angrily: "Haven't you eaten a full meal?" Why is it so quiet? Give me a loud voice! ”

"Got it!"

"Louder!"

"Got it!"

After Zhang Yan heard this, he still felt that the voice was a little small, and eight thousand people shouted at the same time, but there was no deafening feeling, and he couldn't help scolding: "Damn, are you men, one or two are five big and three thick, how can you shout without shock at all?" Just 'understood' these three words, you all have to use your strength to feed, and shout a hundred times in a row! If there is no shout that satisfies me a hundred times, then shout until I am satisfied! ”

These people were all scared by Sun Ce, so they were demoralized and afraid. But as soon as Zhang Yan came, Sun Ce heard the news and fled, so these soldiers thought that Zhang Yan must be more powerful than Sun Ce, and out of fear, they could only shout loudly.

For a while, I understood, and it echoed in the air over and over again, but in Zhang Yan's ears, he felt that he didn't have any strength, and kept shouting: "Shout louder!" Shout until I'm satisfied! ”

The soldiers shouted more than fifty times in a row, and finally shouted a voice that satisfied Zhang Yan in Zuihou. So, Zhang Yan asked people to stop shouting, and when he saw that the soldiers had dry throats, and some of them were even hoarse, a faint smile appeared on his face: "That's right!" ”

Then, Zhang Yan introduced Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to the soldiers, divided the 8,000 people into two, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin each led 4,000 people, divided into the Red Army and the Blue Army, and officially began their intensive training. (To be continued......)
