This analysis was clear and logical and far exceeded Guan Yu's expectations for Li Mengxi.

Although Li Mengxi said that he did not know much about military strategy, his opinion was that it was difficult for anyone among hundreds of village warriors to achieve this level.

Li Mengxi asked why they didn't march together last night so that their strength could be divided into two.

Guan Yu shook his head. "There are many prisoners in our army. The road is difficult to travel at night. If we take the prisoners on the road, it will not be a big deal. If the prisoners escape at night and scream again, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Therefore, the eldest brother and the third brother, each with a hundred and fifty men, will ambush on the left and right sides of the enemy's mountains, while our troops will wait until dawn before proceeding."

Guan Yu patiently explained the secret to Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi suddenly realized that this was the case and he had forgotten the prisoner.

Isn't that right? It's dark at night. If a prisoner wants to escape, he can slip away in the dark while the guard isn't paying attention.

When one prisoner escaped, more prisoners followed suit. Soon, the prisoners became restless and became uncontrollable.

If only a few prisoners escaped, it would not be considered a big loss, but under the desire to survive, the docile prisoners would burst out with full courage in order to survive, and would have the guts to take away the swords of the country warriors and kill them.

.

The prisoners were restless, and they grabbed weapons again, and the bombing of the camp immediately followed.

There are many prisoners, but few people to guard them.

The prisoners were gathered together, and the country warriors guarded them on both sides. If during the march, the prisoners became restless and suddenly attacked, the country warriors would not only attack the large number with a small number, but also use scattered attacks to rectify them.

The prisoners were together, and in order to guard the prisoners with limited manpower, the soldiers had to spread their hands widely. In the sudden chaos, the soldiers did not have much advantage.

What if there is a fierce man among the prisoners who can fight one against a hundred, break the rope with his bare hands, seize the knife, and kill the guards, and then use force to quickly gather a group of people and snowball,

It is possible to counter-kill Liu Beijun and these hundreds of local warriors.

A gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall and lead troops to fight, but should nip danger in the bud.

Guan Yu was well versed in military literature, and Li Mengxi benefited a lot from his suggestions.

It seems that the management of captives on ancient battlefields should be treated with caution.

If there are no prisoners, or if the prisoners are managed well, such as if there are enough ropes, iron shackles, wooden shackles, etc., the prisoners' movements can be limited, and even if no one is around for a while, the prisoners will not be able to escape.

And if, like now, the rebels don't bring enough ropes, and the prisoners just rush together and are watched by others, such extensive management requires constant vigilance.

There are two situations in marching, whether there are prisoners in the army or there are no prisoners.

Without prisoners, there is no harm in marching at night, just like Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's troops who left in the middle of the night last night.

However, it was taboo to take captives with them, and the prisoners were not well managed. Marching at night was taboo. Guan Yu's troops did not move at night, preferring to move at dawn.

Guan Yu was very capable in military strategy, and Li Mengxi admired him in his heart.

There will be a battle today.

The war has nothing to do with him, and he knows that he will definitely not have to go into battle to kill the enemy. Li Mengxi is not worried about his own safety, but Li Mengxi is curious about the reaction of the local heroes when the war comes.

Xiangyong, as the private military force of the powerful rural powerful, has mixed military discipline and morale, and fear of death and war is the norm.

At this time, Li Mengxi thought of mobilizing before the war, especially those like Xiang Yong, who especially needed to boost their morale before the war.

Li Mengxi wanted to ask how Guan Yu did it, but he hesitated and did not ask the question.

Because I am eating.

What to say when eating.

Guan Yu had a huge appetite. He ate six pancakes by himself, and then he drank one bowl after another of porridge in the earthen pot. He drank seven or eight bowls of porridge by himself, and he said he was 80% full.

Li Mengxi knew that since there was going to be a war today, he would rush out of camp early. Li Mengxi urged his brother to eat quickly.

After breakfast, Li Mengxi took his brother back to the grain truck.

Guan Yu gathered the soldiers in the camp and did not say much. He said to many local warriors, "Today the Yellow Turbans are fighting. If you lose, everyone will be punished. If you win, each person will have half a catty of flesh."

Those who are beheaded at the first level will be rewarded as much as three pounds of wine and meat!"

The country warriors are all country roughnecks. They don't care about anything else, but wine, meat and money are the most important thing to the country warriors.

Guan Yu had a lot of knowledge, and the words in his articles were high-sounding and righteous. It was not that he couldn't express himself, but he knew that talking about righteousness was of no use, so he only talked about wine and meat.

This is where Guan Yu's level lies.

Li Mengxi was still thinking about mobilizing before the war, and Guan Yu indeed mobilized before the war.

Come to think of it, in ancient times, when going to war, there were sacrifices to heaven and oaths to the enemy. The ancients were not stupid. Mobilization rallies and morale boosting were not unfamiliar to the ancients.

Especially Guan Yu, who is familiar with military literature.

Break up camp and march.

Li Mengxi's grain rear team had dozens of grain trucks. Almost all of these grain trucks were pulled by people, and only a few were pulled by animals.

A considerable part of the grain carts were seized from the Yellow Turbans a few days ago. There are many grain carts from the Yellow Turbans, but there are no livestock.

It was difficult for people to pull a cart full of food. However, there were tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, but apart from the war horses, there was not a single animal in the Yellow Turban army.

There were no oxen to pull the cart, no mules, and no pigs or sheep.

It is easy to understand that the animals were eaten by the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans lacked discipline. How could they resist eating the animals when they saw them and leave the animals hungry to pull the cart?

The road was not good, and it was very tiring to pull the grain truck. One Xiangyong in front was pulling hard on the handlebar, and there were two Xiangyong in front who were pulling with ropes, and another Xiangyong behind was pushing.

A car requires several people to pull and push it.

Li Mengxi, who was sitting on the grain cart, was a little embarrassed.

If there was a cow, it would definitely not be so strenuous. Li Mengxi thought.

The Yellow Turbans crossed state lines and made numerous plunders, and they definitely plundered a lot of livestock. However, most of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were short-sighted and lacked self-control. They killed and ate the animals without thinking of leaving them to pull carts to transport grain and grass.

The logistics are weak, but the combat power is nowhere near strong.

They don't even know how to keep their livestock, let alone have the awareness to actively build an army.

Therefore, in the past dynasties of peasant uprisings, most of the first batch of people to rise up were the people at the lowest level. These people often had no direction, no plan, no long-term goals, and no construction and management capabilities when they rebelled.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, these first batch of rebels will face the end of the dynasty and be surrounded and suppressed by the government's last military force, and will bear the brunt.

Therefore, most people who are the first to rebel will not succeed.

For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fought against the Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Jiao in the late Han Dynasty.

In the peasant uprising, it would be better to overthrow the old imperial court in one wave. If not, then it would be necessary to develop and gather military strength in order to continue to compete with the imperial court. And there are only a few leaders of the rebel army who have the ability to manage.

.

Nowadays, Li Mengxi sees that the Yellow Turbans don't even know how to keep a cow. This shows that most of the Yellow Turban leaders are of this level.

If you don't know how to preserve livestock and don't know about logistics, how can you know what building an army is?

The yellow turban is unbearable.

From this, Li Mengxi felt that if he encountered a Yellow Turban Army with a lot of animals, it would definitely be difficult to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

Not eating animals shows that the leader of the Yellow Turbans is knowledgeable and capable. It also means that the Yellow Turbans under his command obey his orders, have rules and regulations, and the discipline is acceptable.

Such a Yellow Turban Army is definitely not comparable to Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi and others.

Whether the Yellow Turbans are elite or not may not depend on their armor, but on whether they have animals in their army.

After all, if you capture soldiers and armor, you may happen to encounter an arsenal in a certain county, and you will be able to sharpen your armor immediately.

If you want to have cattle in the army, you must have a leader who is far-sighted and able to control his subordinates. Moreover, the military discipline of this Yellow Turban unit is acceptable. One of them is indispensable. If one thing is missing, even if the Yellow Turban leader has the foresight to not allow cattle to be eaten, he will not be able to eat cattle.

Unable to control the refugees under his command, the refugees still ate the cows. In this way, there were still no cows in the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, if there are many cattle and mules in the Yellow Turban army, this Yellow Turban army must be a formidable enemy.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month.

Li Mengxi saw that there were no animals to drag the army's grain trucks, and thought that there were tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans but no animals, so he came up with the idea of ​​watching the enemy.

How to Observe the Enemy: Yellow Turban Chapter.

Looking at the method of the Yellow Turban, the one with the oxen and mules is the sharpest, the one with the well-organized formation, the second, the one with bright armor and bright spears, the third, and the third with the strength of the people.

The rest are not worth worrying about.
