Liao Hua, who had been leading the troops outside for a long time, suddenly came back in a hurry that day.

Since the time of dividing the fields, Liao Hua has been busy outside and has not encountered any trouble for more than half a month. Now he finally encountered trouble.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Mengxi couldn't help but frown after listening carefully to the military situation reported by Liao Hua.

If the equal distribution of land is to be implemented, the land owned by Julu must be taken back to public ownership. The land reform is bound to encounter counterattacks from stubborn forces, which Li Mengxi had long expected.

The accident happened in Nanhe County.

A team sent out to farm the fields had a conflict with the villagers. Three of the soldiers were killed and several others were injured. This was the biggest incident since the field was divided.

Li Mengxi glanced at Liao Hua and Guan Yu, who came after hearing the news. He asked the two of them, "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Liao Hua said coldly, "Kill to pay for life, as long as the military advisor orders someone to defeat them!"

Li Mengxi was noncommittal, looked at Guan Yu and asked, "What does General Guan think?"

Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Only kill the chief evildoer, don't implicate the innocent."

"Well," Li Mengxi hummed, and then he sorted out his words and said, "Whether you lead the troops to kill or just kill the first culprit is actually secondary. The key is that the two of you really think that the perpetrator must be

Villagers, not campers?"

Hearing this, Liao Hua and Guan Yu immediately looked over. Liao Hua looked puzzled and puzzled. He didn't understand why one of his own was killed and he didn't take revenge but spoke for the murderer.

Guan Yu, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

"Killing for life and capturing the murderer are not the first priority. The first thing is to find out the truth and who the murderer is. What is important is justice."

——

As the last newcomer to join the rebel army, Liao Hua would definitely be confused as to why he tolerated and condoned those who opposed the rebel army. Not only Liao Hua, but probably many elderly rebel soldiers would also find it difficult to get around this detour.

Whether you massacre a village without explanation or just kill the chief culprit, it's very simple, just give an order.

In terms of distance, distance, likes and dislikes, when Li Mengxi heard that one of his own people had been beaten to death, his first reaction was to lead his troops and severely teach the unruly people.

But, after all, we can't do this, because the layout would be too small.

Based on Julu, the last thing we can do is to distinguish between ourselves and outsiders. There are no outsiders, everyone in Julu is our own people. You must know that the rebel army only has 150,000 people at full strength, and there are countless people in the four areas of Julu.

With twice that amount of manpower, only 150,000 people are needed, and hundreds of thousands of people are lost. It's so stupid.

The people in Julu's four borders are also the people who will be governed in the near future. The people's hearts in Julu's four borders are also the people's hearts in Julu. There is no need to talk about distance between close and distant relatives.

Li Mengxi did not get angry and raise troops. He wanted to find out the truth and protect justice no matter whose justice it was, whether it was the justice of the campers or the villagers.

This time he went to break the murder, firstly, to punish the murderer, and secondly, Li Mengxi thought that he had no ability to break the murder, so he took along all the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Legislative Department.

Then, along with Guan Yu, he led hundreds of people on foot and cavalry, leading the officials to rush to Nanhe County.

Hundreds of people and horses rushed all the way to the place where the incident occurred. At this time, the situation in what Liao Hua called a slightly larger village changed drastically.

I don't know when a huge manpower gathered in the village. When the villagers saw the soldiers and horses arriving, a large number of people in the village armed with swords, guns and farm tools were mobilizing in a panic.

There seemed to be someone in the village who could control the overall situation, and the manpower was mobilized very well. Not long after the rebel troops arrived outside the village, the villagers immediately pushed carts to block the entrance to the village, and crossbowmen quickly climbed up on the roofs to occupy it.

From a high place, the tigers and crossbows were pointed at the outside.

Li Mengxi turned to look at Liao Hua. He frowned and asked, "General Liao Hua, hasn't the population of this village been moved away? Where did so many people come from?"

Liao Hua was also surprised. He hesitated and said, "There were not so many people when we left. I don't know where so many people came from..."

Li Mengxi looked at Liao Hua. Liao Hua, who was in his early twenties, looked very young. He also thought that he was ready to train Liao Hua as a pioneer general. Seeing that Liao Hua was not very thorough in his actions, Li Mengxi asked, "General Liao Hua, why are you doing this?"

Why don’t you know the details of this village?”

Liao Hua thought that Li Mengxi was going to be questioned, so he quickly confessed, saying that he had neglected military affairs and deserved death.

Li Mengxi opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his mouth and he had to swallow it back. He didn't like Liao Hua's behavior. If something went wrong, what he should do immediately was to check for omissions, fill in the gaps, summarize and improve, instead of saying he was guilty and deserved death as soon as something went wrong.

.

Li Mengxi wanted to remind Liao Hua, and then asked, "General Liao Hua, why do you not know the situation in this village?"

Liao Hua still hadn't turned the corner. Faced with Li Mengxi's questioning again, he jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee and touched his head to the ground, "Liao Hua missed a big event and deserves death!"

Seeing Liao Hua's desperate look, Li Mengxi was speechless. "Get up and talk," he said.

Liao Hua raised his head and glanced at Li Mengxi. Seeing that Li Mengxi's face was calm and not looking like he was asking for guilt, Liao Hua stood up and stood cautiously.

"General Liao Hua, what I'm asking is why you don't know the details of this village. What's the reason?" Li Mengxi asked the same question again, this is the third time.

Subconsciously, Liao Hua wanted to say that he should be punished with death for delaying military intelligence, but when Liao Hua caught the gaze of the military advisor and saw the military advisor's half-smiling expression, Liao Hua was inexplicably relieved and no longer had any fear.

"The general knew that there was chaos in this village, but why did he come back at this time and not know the military situation here in detail?" Li Mengxi asked with a smile.

Liao Hua began to ponder thoughtfully. For a moment, inspiration came to him, and Liao Hua had an epiphany. "It was because of the sudden military situation here that a certain leader left in a hurry without leaving any sentries to keep an eye on him. Therefore, the next day, the situation changed."

Big changes.

It was because he was negligent at some point and did not leave a sentry."

Seeing that Liao Hua understood, Li Mengxi smiled and nodded, "That's right. The military situation is changing rapidly, so we must pay close attention to it from time to time."

Speaking to Liao Hua, Li Mengxi also had a great understanding. In the previous wars, no intelligence was used to count them in detail. They were all bumped into each other and pushed horizontally, which was very rough.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This time, Liao Hua misjudged the situation due to slow intelligence. Although this problem is small, the problems exposed are huge. The intelligence is time-sensitive, the military situation is changing rapidly, and the surveillance methods

Lack of information, the information transmission is too slow. Therefore, if you want to get enough timely real-time information, you must send a large number of sentry riders to return the information every once in a while. Only in this way can you ensure that the information is safe.

Then, Li Mengxi asked Liao Hua again. He asked, "Does the general think that it is appropriate to only send sentries and cavalry to keep watch?"

If you ask this question properly, you will be suspected of being boastful and arrogant. If you say it inappropriately, you will be asked again what is wrong and how should you answer it.

Liao Hua was silent for a moment.

Li Mengxi was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

The quiet atmosphere was the most embarrassing and uncomfortable. Liao Hua had to bite the bullet and think about whether it was appropriate to send scouts to follow him.

Why is it wrong? Liao Hua thought, sending ten or twenty people to report every hour is not good, what is wrong with it?

Just say that this time, there are scouts watching. If there are signs of a large number of people gathering in this village, how can they escape the eyes of the scouts? If they see the movement, the scouts only need to go back and report, otherwise they can make preparations in advance.

Suddenly, when Liao Hua subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the village, he saw a car formation blocked at the entrance of the village, and saw a large number of villagers holding weapons behind the car formation. Liao Hua suddenly realized that there were only a few scouts following them.

, if the villagers have malicious intentions, these knights will be unable to protect themselves and will either be surrounded and killed or expelled.

Thinking of this, Liao Hua's eyes lit up, and he answered thoughtfully, "Military advisor, I think it's inappropriate to send only three or five scouts."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Mengxi asked with a smile.

Liao Hua said sternly, "Three or five cavalry are too few. If they are driven away, they will have to retreat. Once they retreat, they will not be able to keep track or explore, and there will be no way to know the military situation."

"So, what's your idea?" Li Mengxi asked.

"I think that at least twenty or thirty cavalry should be left behind to be able to protect ourselves," Liao Hua said solemnly.

Li Mengxi smiled even more happily. Seeing that Liao Hua had a good comprehension ability and could understand everything at once, he asked again, "Then, General Liao Hua, even if he sends twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or even hundreds of scouts, is it possible?"

Liao Hua couldn't help but turn his head and look at the village again. Liao Hua thought to himself, this is a small village. A hundred cavalry scouts can destroy the village. How come it can't be guarded?

Liao Hua wanted to answer, but when he met the military advisor's half-smiling gaze, Liao Hua hesitated.

Liao Hua was a former Yellow Turban general who had experienced great wars. Liao Hua frowned and thought to himself that it would be safe for a hundred cavalry to guard a village, but this would be a waste of troops. When the war comes, even if there are hundreds of cavalry as scouts,

It is also difficult to deal with the encirclement and interception of enemy cavalry.

Thinking of this, past battle experiences came to mind, and Liao Hua thought about how his spies once lurked in the deep grass near the enemy camp to spy on the enemy. The method of hiding and spying did not fear the enemy's pursuit, interception, expulsion, and did not require a large number of manpower.

With the answer in mind, Liao Hua revealed the method of concealment and detection.

I heard from Liao Hua that scouts can hide near important places and observe them closely.

Li Mengxi nodded and asked, "It's easy for scouts to hide, but how do they hide war horses?"

Liao Hua thought for a while and replied, "Stay the war horses at a distance, leave people to guard them, and scout the people to sneak away from a distance and hide when they get closer."

Li Mengxi couldn't help but nodded, dismounted and sneaked lightly. This method was excellent.

After thinking about it, Li Mengxi recalled some knowledge related to scouts. He mentioned, "If you want to hide and scout people, you can first remove the armor and stomach, remove the weapons and all encumbrances. In this way, the action can be more efficient."

fast."

Liao Hua thought, if his armor and stomach were taken off and he didn't take any weapons, he wouldn't be able to fight back if he was in danger.

Li Mengxi seemed to have seen what Liao Hua was thinking. He said, "The general may want to ask how he can escape if he is in danger without armor and weapons. The general may wish to think about it. He wears armor and carries weapons and is alone.

A man is hiding near the enemy's camp. If he is discovered by others, and hundreds of enemy troops are chasing him, with all the troops and armor, can he escape?"

Liao Hua was thoughtful after hearing this.

Li Mengxi then added, "When it comes to escaping, you can escape faster without any armor or weapons."

Therefore, if you are scouting and waiting, don't think about fighting. One person is so close that he cannot defeat a group of others.

——

"General, do you think that even if you use concealment, it will be completely safe?"

Li Mengxi actually asked and continued to ask.

Liao Hua was stunned.
