The plan can never catch up with the changes, Zhou Shaoyu doesn't remember how many times he has changed his original pace because of changes, just because he is in a safe corner, and there is no real enemy for the time being, even if there is a change, the impact is not great, but it is only for now.

With the gradual expansion of power, the situation is becoming more and more anxious, at that time, how can the general policy change will change, it is true that the reason for the change is because of the change, no matter how much people calculate, there will eventually be accidents, but a real military advisor can have the ability to clear the fog and foresee the future situation, so as to formulate a long-term plan according to the current environmental situation, even if there is an accident, there will not be much change, obviously Zhou Shaoyu does not have the talent in this area, otherwise it will not be changed and changed.

It seems that he decided to speed up the development of forces to attack Chenghuizhou, and Zhou Shaoyu did this, but after the fight, he chose to lie dormant for various reasons, and even the plan to build a cottage to destroy the Xingwu Army was terminated.

And then what? On the surface, Chenghui was thrown out of a few forces, relying on actual combat drills to create the illusion of war, so that the outside world misunderstood, thinking that Chenghui was still in a state of fragmentation, rather than unified, so as to lower the vigilance of others.

The result is good, not to take the initiative to destroy the Xingwu Army, until now, the Xingwu Army took the initiative to come, even if the Xingwu Army is now in a semi-abandoned state, it is by no means an existence that can be taken lightly, at least Zhou Shaoyu is not 100% sure that relying on a small number of troops can completely defeat it. Even if it could, the casualties would be extremely heavy, and the population of Chenghui Prefecture was so large, and the foundation was so thick, it couldn't withstand the big consumption no matter what.

So for the sake of safety, you can only combine the power of a state to gather troops and destroy it, but in this way, the fact that Chenghui Prefecture belongs to one side of the force will also be exposed, and other people can say that it is not their business to be far away, but Tan Wangfu will definitely be anxious, and it is unknown what kind of move will be made.

Observation, analysis and control of the overall situation, Zhou Shaoyu can't do it, and neither can other sisters, as for the grassroots officials recruited by the local 'natives'? That's even worse.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't have any big feelings before, but now, he has finally realized the importance of a military advisor, especially a top military advisor. For example, in the romance, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them fought to the death, but even if they had the territory in the first half of the time, they would eventually be taken away, and it was not until after Zhuge Liang that they officially moved towards the road of expanding their territory. The distinction between before and after is clear at a glance.

That's it, even if you want a military division now, it's not that you can have it if you want to have it, let's defeat the Xingwu army for the time being.

Yes, to defeat, not to defeat. The Xingwu Army took the initiative to attack, and even the armament was insufficient, and it was a good time to officially eliminate it in one fell swoop, otherwise it would just be retreated, and the Xingwu Army would retreat to Xingwu County, and Zhou Shaoyu would want to take it again, so the price paid for the offensive and defensive changes would definitely be a lot greater.

For a while, a large number of scouts were dispatched, thanks to Ainur's caravan for sending a hundred horses this time, otherwise it would not be enough.

Xingwu Army, after the initial mess, the army gradually became stable, even if it has not been trained for a long time, but in the end they are all veterans, and the foundation is still there. At first glance, most of the people don't even have weapons, which feels like an uprising, but there is a big difference between the two.

People are veterans who have been trained for many years, not civilians who can only bury their heads in farming, and their combat power is not the same, what makes Zhou Shaoyu speechless is that these veterans are all trained by Gao Xiujun's father.

"How about staying undercover in the Xingwu Army? If there is action, how many people can be countered? Back in the county hall, everyone sat down, and Zhou Shaoyu asked Gao Xiujun.

"I don't know." Gao Xiujun's expression was also quite subtle, after all, they were all her father's soldiers and horses in the past, and they were trained with hard work, but they could be regarded as having Gao's father's hard work, and now they want to fight against it, and it feels really bad. After thinking about it, he said uncertainly: "It's not boasting, my father loved soldiers like sons, and he was quite prestigious, but people died like lights going out, how many people still miss the old love, I can't be sure, about, at least a few hundred people always have it." ”

Since he married Gao Xiujun, Zhou Shaoyu naturally understands the affairs of the Gao family, Gao's father is stupid and loyal, and his temperament is too square, otherwise with the situation at the time, Gao's father really wants to pull the banner, but it is the opposite! It is estimated that there are many people who are willing to follow.

However, what Gao's father thought at that time, Zhou Shaoyu couldn't guess, and the ending was already clear, and the final result was that Gao Xiujun fled, and the most loyal old generals of the Gao family chose to follow, and people came to vote one after another in the future, of course, now it is naturally cheap Zhou Shaoyu. If it weren't for this wave of experienced veterans, his own army might not have grown so fast.

"Let's find a way to get in touch." Zhou Shaoyu didn't say much, it's naturally good to have internal responses, but if there are only a few hundred, unless there is a critical moment, otherwise the anti-water is useless, and more importantly, it is likely that they also belong to the group without weapons, so the anti-water is even more useless.

Therefore, if you want to win directly by relying on internal response, it is impossible, and you still have to start from other aspects.

The Xingwu army marched to Dongshui County, although there was a lack of weapons and leather armor, but there was no shortage of tents and other materials, and the food was barely enough for ten days and half a month. When he arrived at the place, he directly began to set up camp, and then directly organized people to hunt around.

Li Xiuning stood on the wall and watched this scene, don't be too speechless, please, it's obviously good to come to fight, not to come for a spring outing, and actually send people to hunt, really, I don't know what to say, I knew it was like this, Li Xiuning must have placed people and horses outside the city to rob and kill the hunters. But who would have thought of such a strange thing.

After all, there are nearly 20,000 people, and Dongshui County is not a strong city, although the city wall was later reinforced, but it is not high. That's why I gave up the plan to throw a team of men and horses outside the city, and first made sure that Dongshui County was not lost.

Thankfully, the Xingwu army did not have siege equipment.

This is also a matter of course, the establishment of the Xingwu Army is to guard against the Miao people, and the Miao village is located in the mountains and forests, not to mention, its fortifications and the city can be described as simple, so whether it is offensive or defensive, there is no need to prepare siege equipment. Therefore, if Xingwu County wants to fight, it can only build a ladder to rush, and this way of attacking the city is obviously a stupid way, and the casualties are simply not too big.

The commander of the Xingwu Army was surnamed Wei, and his name was Weidong. Born in the Wei family of Jiangmen, he is basically in Jinling, and he is currently loyal to Gao Yuyao. On the other hand, the highest achievement is naturally to have the qualification to build the Great General's Mansion to defend the side.

At the beginning of the Great Liang, there were three major generals' mansions, namely the south of the town, the west of the town, and the north of the town.

Originally, the Zhennan General's Mansion had the lowest status and the weakest power, because it was located in Jingzhou, and the purpose was to deter Xiaoxiao and send troops to suppress the rebellion in the surrounding area. The west of the town is mainly to guard against the western regions, and the north of the town is to guard against Liaodong, in addition, the two cooperate to jointly guard against the Turks.

But now, Zhenxi has long been unable to listen to the announcement, and he is nesting in Yongzhou to be the emperor of the soil. Zhenbei was almost destroyed by the Turks, and even the head of the family was killed in battle, which is okay, because there is no son-in-law, those concubines are fighting for the position of the head of the family. When everyone in the north of the town saw it, they immediately became dissatisfied, and took refuge in the princes of various places, and then continued to fight, all kinds of internal friction.

In short, Zhenbei is likely to be abolished, and the Wei family is staring at this position, so don't worry too much about Gao Yuyao.

However, Wei Weidong was born such a strange thing, although he was a little embarrassed when he was in Jinling, but at least he was okay, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come over and take over the Xingwu Army. The result was good, the Xingwu Army was abolished, and the Wei family's face was gloomy.

But who would have thought that the reason why Wei Weidong has changed so much is actually very simple?

Without him, when he didn't leave Jinling, he just wanted to lead the troops. As a result, when I arrived in Xingwu County, I took a look, good guy, what a broken place, and I was immediately interested. Okay, isn't this certain, Xingwu County, a small border county, how to compare with Jinling. But no matter what, Wei Weidong, who is used to enjoyment, instantly cooled most of his blood, if he didn't return to Beijing, he would be criticized, and he would secretly run back if he didn't make trouble?

I have to say that it is also a wonder.

Now seeing that the Xingwu army has become like this, and even the weapons are not complete, this matter cannot be hidden, whether it is the imperial court or the Wei family, it will definitely be angry, Wei Weidong will inevitably be weak-hearted, so he thinks that it is good to fight, at least if he wins, he can make up for it, but how to fight this has become a problem.

At full capacity, only about 3,000 people were armed with weapons and wore armor or leather armor, and the rest were either armed with farm tools or wooden spears. Originally, I thought that the small county of Dongshui was a simple matter without defense, but as a result, people had already taken precautions, and the surprise attack would definitely not work, but it was even more impossible to attack.

He is not stupid, the casualties of the assault are high, and even decent weapons are not enough after the battle, and the underground soldiers are willing to rush up with their lives. In this case, there is no other way to do it, such as......

On the mountain path, a group of more than 4,000 soldiers and horses is slowly moving forward.

"Hahaha, those fools in Dongshui County, I'm afraid they will be scared when they see my army besieging the city, but the problem is, I didn't say that I would fight Dongshui County." Wei Weidong sat on the horse and was proud, attacking the defended city, even if there should not be many soldiers inside, it is estimated that it is not easy to take it, mainly because there is no blade, and the people below have no way to sell if they want to sell their lives. In this case, simply take a detour in disguise and lead the soldiers with sufficient combat power to sneak attack the Makizhu County behind and take it by surprise.

In this way, you can not only get food in Makuzhu County, but also get some blade equipment, so that you can call more people and horses. On the other hand, Dongshui County is surrounded by more than 10,000 people, and he will only come out if he is stupid, and he occupies Mazhu County, which means that Dongshui County is a lonely city, and it is possible to surrender without a fight when the trouble is not good.

Easily occupy the two counties, capture more blades to liberate the soldiers under them, and then attack other places, is it still not easy to capture? After all, it's 20,000 people, and it's not crooked melons and cracked dates. Under the absolute strength, isn't it just crushing?

"General Wei is wise!" Immediately someone slapped on the back.

"Where, where." Wei Weidong still knows how to be modest, he can't say it, in fact, at the beginning, he just saw that Dongshui County was not easy to fight, and the food was limited, so he didn't have time to spend here, and as soon as his head was hot, he took some soldiers and horses around the road to attack Zhuzhu County, and after setting off, he slowly made up for the benefits of doing so.

Well, in the face of such a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense, who would have thought? And it was the right choice for him to do so. Because the defense of Mazutake County is now empty.

Li Xiuning took 2,000 people to Dongshui County, and there were not many people left in the city defense of Zhuzhu County. So just at this time period, Makutake County is very vulnerable.

As for counting on Li Xiuning to come back to help, this is a bit difficult, Li Xiuning is indeed a good hand at fighting, but she has never encountered this kind of guy who acts as soon as his head is hot, she didn't expect this at all, even if she can notice it, it is not an immediate thing.

In short, no one thought that Wei Weidong would do this, Zhou Shaoyu sent a lot of spies, but they were all going to Dongshui County, and they also took the main road, so Wei Weidong rested in the forest for one night, ate and drank enough before leaving the mountains and forests, and was only discovered when there were only ten miles left from the county seat of Zhuzhu County.

"What's going on?" Hearing the urgent ringing of the bell in the city, Zhou Shaoyu couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't figure it out, how could someone attack Makuzhu County at this time? Isn't everything in Dongshui County okay?

"Report! Ten miles outside the city, the enemy was discovered, and a group of about 4,000 men and horses were rushing towards Zhuzhu County, and their banners were Xingwu Army and a Wei character. "Before long, a spy came to report.

Hell yes! Zhou Shaoyu's face was a little exciting, he didn't expect the Xingwu Army to divide his troops when he was killed! Doesn't others know that he doesn't know that most of the armaments of the Xingwu Army were bought by him, and the remaining armaments are estimated to be about 3,000 people, and as for the extra 1,000, it is estimated that they were used as civilian husbands.

Only so many people from the Communist Party have weapons, but all of them were sent in one go, it's too contrary to common sense, aren't those people outside Dongshui County waiting to die?

Normally, it's definitely not waiting for death, because who would have the ability to communicate with the sky like Xiao Qiao from a distance, and any news can be delivered as soon as possible. Therefore, it is common sense that it is impossible for Makizhu County to know the situation in Dongshui County, and vice versa. In addition, the banner of the Xingwu Army was raised, who would have thought that the regular army would not even have weapons? More than 10,000 people put it there, and they took the initiative to attack when they were stupid.

Now Li Xiuning should laugh, in the face of more than 10,000 enemies armed with farm tools and wooden spears, even if they are veterans, it is for nothing, Dongshui County is not given for nothing, plus the people and horses brought, together with 5,000 people, such equipment is not equal, it is strange if you can't win, it's just how to fight, in order to get the biggest gain.

As for Makitake County......

"How many men are there in the city?" Zhou Shaoyu asked Gao Xiujun a little worriedly, there must not be many people, in addition, the bamboo spear that can be used as a long-range attack also allowed Li Xiuning to take most of it, and the only small group of archers is also with Li Xiuning, this city is not easy to defend.
