"Beat the drum and use the soldiers. The city of Tuguo, I travel south alone...... From Sun Tzu Zhong, Ping Chen and Song. I don't want to go, and I'm worried...... They live in the war, and they lose their horses. What do you want? Under the Forest......"

An old male voice chanted in a low voice.

I don't know where this poor sour person is, the accent when reciting is too heavy, so that I can't really listen to it, next time I have to change to a really decent person who is well-educated, preferably a Luoyang person. Fortunately, the explanation is quite clear, and it turned out to be about the grievances and grievances of the vassal states fighting each other in ancient times, and the soldiers were forced to fight for a long time...... The poems and books of the Jin people have been passed down for thousands of years, which is indeed a bit interesting.

Jukou Shile, who was rampant in the four prefectures of Qingxu and Yanyu and terrified the soldiers and civilians of the Great Jin Dynasty, was leaning under a big tree with lush foliage, squinting, and nodding slightly to the rhythm of the old Confucian chant. Looking at the dark and dreary wilderness from afar, he thought of the upcoming war, and he was rarely a little hesitant, but for some reason he lost his mind, and suddenly felt that the emotions in this poem seemed to be somewhat familiar.

This kind of miserable and helpless mood is indeed familiar to Shiler. He quickly recalled the sorrow that he and many of his clansmen were plundered and sold to Jizhou as slaves by Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou; recalled the humiliation and hardship of being driven to shout and barely winning three meals with the skill of raising horses. At that time, I was also so complaining. It's just that the strong and tenacious people don't write any poetry. Soon after, he took the opportunity of the chaos in the world to rebel, first with hundreds of horses as the capital to defect to the Gongshi, and then turned to Ji, and, after the wind, frost, rain and snow, in one after another life and death struggle to break out of a bloody road...... On this road of fighting and fighting, where is the slightest sorrow for himself and his companions? I will only feel happy and hearty!

Thinking about it this way, the poems that I originally thought were quite interesting suddenly became boring. Shi Le coughed lightly and interrupted the old man's chanting: "Old man, this is here today." In a few days, if I have a free time, I will invite you to come. At that time, don't talk about any poems, you might as well talk about the "Book of Han", "Spring and Autumn" and the like, there are some passages that teach people to govern and attack methods, which are still a little useful. ”

This old Confucian is a half-hung scholar in the local village community, who has been searching for chapters and sentences for decades without success, and can only live on a few acres of thin fields. After the Shile army arrived, they took the young and strong into the army, the young women were used as camp prostitutes, and the rest of the old and weak were all imprisoned. Lao Ru was also in captivity, and he was expected to die, but he was unexpectedly called up in the middle of the night and spoke poems to the fierce thief chief for most of the hour.

The son is afraid of the Spring and Autumn Period and the chaotic ministers and thieves are afraid, is this thief chief actually worthy of listening to "Spring and Autumn"...... Hearing Shi Le's words, the old Confucian secretly complained in his heart; But he still saluted again and again as if he had been pardoned, bowed and withdrew.

Shi Le was born in poverty and was illiterate since he was a child, but since he compiled Luo Zhi's scholars into the "Gentlemen's Camp", he often invited a few literati to tell the classics and history. Since this was both an increase in knowledge and a pastime, the more the war was approaching, the more accustomed he was to it. It's just that this time the army is outside, there is no one to accompany the gentleman's camp, and the poor literati who are temporarily recruited are very poorly educated, and can only speak some poetry...... Completely unaware!

Shi Le glared at the old man who staggered away, stretched his waist, and decided to take his dog life in a few days. was ruthless, but he didn't want the temperature to be slightly cool due to the heavy rain for days, so he sneezed loudly.

It was late at night, and there was a soft sound in the surrounding woodland, and many soldiers were sleeping soundly in their clothes. Only a few close guards barely managed to sit still, occasionally waving their hands to chase away the annoying insects and flies. Shile's movement made them immediately sober up: "General? ”

Shile slowly got up, wiped his nose, and shook his head at them: "You all sleep, don't follow me." I'll go talk to Mr. Zhang. ”

He grabbed a torch and walked along the forest path. The torches were specially made of only two or three pine branches, and they were very thin, and the fire could not shine far. Accidentally slipping under his feet, the bright and extinguishing flames cast a dim light on the ancient wood, suddenly elongated and enlarged, and suddenly disappeared...... It suddenly seems to be a ghost.

The army is stationed, and the most annoying thing is the rainy weather. First, it will make the camp muddy and difficult to walk, and increase the workload of camping a lot; Second, after the clothes and armor of the soldiers are wet, if they are not dried and changed in time, it is easy to cause epidemics. However, due to the continuous military disasters and river flooding in recent years, many villages and communities west of Juancheng have been abandoned. Shile marched to this point, but failed to capture enough strong men to do the heavy work of setting up camp for them; On the other hand, for the sake of concealment, it is not possible to start a stove or fire on a large scale. Eventually, the soldiers had to sleep in the woods in soaked armor. If the heavy rain during the day lasts for a few days, I am afraid that these 8,000 tigers will fall ill in their own homes.

Fortunately, the rain had stopped, and the ground was drying quite quickly, so Shile stomped his feet to feel the situation on the ground. In two or three days, the battle will be fought, and by that time the water rising from the heavy rain in the Guzi River should not have receded. It was wonderful, the iron cavalry rushed over, and the Jin people were blocked by the river, and there was nowhere to escape.

Shi Le didn't need to think about it, and a whole set of combat strategies suitable for that situation naturally came to his mind. Over the past year, he has been on a rampage in the Central Plains, fighting with the Great Jin Dynasty military horses many times, and almost every battle is sure to be won. Those routines of chasing the dead and chasing the north, killing pigs and slaughtering sheep have long been very familiar. Although the number of enemies to be intercepted in this ambush was numerous, Schle was absolutely confident of victory.

He said to himself: Although he has only been in the Central Plains for one year, the power he has mastered has increased tenfold compared to the past. This time, he echoed the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and joined forces with the Flying Leopard Wang Mi to launch an offensive, using as many as 120,000 troops in the Central Plains. Such power is enough to turn the world upside down!

Thinking of the strength of the Central Plains thieves who had single-handedly led the expansion, Shi Le inevitably felt a little proud:

The 120,000 soldiers were divided into four routes.

The first road, led by Liu Ling, another great leader of the Central Plains thieves, led an army of 30,000 troops, broke through from Chengyang into the defensive circle of the East China Sea King's army, and then went north along the west of Daze. has now captured the area of Liqiu and Qinting, completely cutting off the communication channel between the king of the East China Sea and Gou Xi in Qingzhou; In the next step, he will divide his troops and march west along the Great River, trying to eliminate the possibility of the East Sea King fleeing north. Liu Ling is brave and fierce, known as "the power to control the running bull, walk and gallop the horse", his subordinates are also not afraid of death, extremely dare to fight, is the Central Plains thieves are extremely powerful.

The second road, led by Wang Mi, the head of the Central Plains thief Kou Kui, who was newly named the general of Zhendong by the Xiongnu Han State, the governor of Qingxu Erzhou, the military governor of Yuanhai, and the prince of Donglai, led the main force of the thief army of 50,000, known as 200,000 horses, and stationed in the area of Dingtao, the county of Jiyin County. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Dingtao has been called the middle of the world, and it is the place where the princes pass through. Fan Li was here to operate a cargo farm, and then became very rich. Later, the two kingdoms of Qi and Wei competed, and Sun Bin and Pang Juan held each other here. In modern times, Emperor Wu of Wei attacked Lü Bu, and several fierce battles were fought here. Wang Mi's garrison in Dingtao, a military important place, can not only assist Liu Ling's first line of troops according to the situation, but also launch a frontal offensive to Juancheng at any time, and at the same time can also support the rest of the roads according to the situation, and the advance and retreat are all satisfactory.

The third road, led by Tao Leopard, Lu Ming and others in the "Eighteen Cavalry" of Shi Le's cronies, led more than 30,000 troops. This part of the force is based on the long-experienced Hebei bandits, and a large number of strong men who have been wrapped up in the Central Plains have been added, and the specific garrison locations are relatively scattered. From Juyang, including Wanju, Jiyang, Waihuang, until the sour jujube, Fengqiu and other places near Sizhou, are distributed. To the north, they can assist the defenders along the river, to the west, they can gallop lightly to the west to reach Xingyang, an important town in Sizhou, and to the south, they can deter Ruying and other places, and they are the main forces used by the Central Plains thieves to actually cooperate with the Xiongnu and Han armies.

The fourth way is the elite troops who are now ambushed in this area under the leadership of Shile himself. This army is divided into four teams according to the mountainous terrain of Puyang and Lihu, and is lurking. More than 20,000 people were all fierce men gradually selected by Shi Le in the fierce battles in the Central Plains. Whether it is the will to fight, combat experience, or weapons and equipment, all of them are far above the ordinary level. Wang Mi's command can be compared, there are only more than 1,000 people; The so-called imperial army of the Shogunate of the King of the East Sea was in front of them, but only pigs and sheep were to be slaughtered. This army lurked like a blood-eating beast on the road west of Juancheng, and was ready for battle...... After this battle, led by the King of the East China Sea, the last heavy army group of the Great Jin Dynasty will surely collapse!

With such a brilliant result just around the corner, Shile was a little ambitious. But he was soon startled again, and quickly shook his head, driving this illusory satisfaction out of his mind. As experienced in warfare as he is, he naturally will not measure the strength of a certain party's military and political bloc solely by the number of troops. The king of the East China Sea will only be intrigued in the court, and he has nothing to do on the battlefield except to flee from place to place; At this time, the military strength of the Tokai King Shogunate was as vulnerable as a native chicken.

There is no doubt that the focus of the situation in the Central Plains is no longer on the confrontation between his own side and the shogunate of the East China Sea King, but on the fierce southward Youji coalition army. Or rather, it's all about yourself and that person...... That wrestling between Lu Yao and Lu Daoming.

Seeing that he was about to completely defeat the shogunate of the King of the East China Sea, so that when the Central Plains occupied the complete initiative, the Youji coalition led by Lu Daoming went south, which not only brought a ray of life to the King of the East China Sea, but also set up a great enemy in front of Shi Le. This frustration had made it difficult for Shile to sleep for several days.

For the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou army, Shi Le has long heard of it. For Lu Yao's bravery, Shi Le has personally learned several times. This time, is it to completely wash away the shame of the previous successive defeats, or is his dream of possessing the Central Plains smashed by the Youzhou army? Shile had confidence in victory, but he was not absolutely sure, and he knew that, deep down, he was actually very afraid of that old opponent who was good at fighting.

Shile involuntarily quickened his pace and hurried towards a sheltered col.

There, is the tabernacle where Zhang Bin rests. The army is lurking, including Shi Le himself, can only sleep in the open air, but Zhang Bin can have a well-furnished military tent, which is the treatment that the mastermind of the army should have. Since moving to the Central Plains for a year, not only Shi Le has become more and more admired by Zhang Bin, but even the rebellious Wang Mi has to recognize his strategic ability. Therefore, the overall battle plan of the Central Plains thieves to mobilize more than 100,000 troops was all from Zhang Bin's hands.

Shi Le felt that he had too much confusion and had to ask Zhang Bin for an answer. At least, he absolutely believed that with Zhang Bin's god, there must be enough ways to deal with Lu Daoming, who was causing headaches.
