Liu Bei said without comment, "Of course it is possible, but I still feel that it is best not to let anyone rush in, and it is best not to let anyone leave alone."

This is very embarrassing.

The situation is that there is an extremely long front that stretches across several counties, and there is no unified commander or united forces. Hundreds or even thousands of troops are moving forward without even a map or a phone. How can we

Command? How is it possible to ensure that the marching speed is the same?

Li Mengxi felt that it was impossible for the marching progress to be exactly the same. The only way was to engage in chaotic warfare, use the method of ambush from all sides, and use the method of gathering troops to beat the enemy into a pot of porridge and kill the enemy.

Li Mengxi thought there was no way, but Liu Bei had an idea. Liu Bei said, "How about this? Make an appointment with everyone. After the counterattack, we will advance for two days and stop for one day. For every two days of advance, we will stop for one day."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this way, those who move quickly will not leave too quickly, and those who move slowly will not be left too late. Staying for one day can just allow the various departments to communicate with each other and stay in the past.

Explore the path ahead.”

Li Mengxi's eyes suddenly lit up. This method was great! He quickly took notes and took notes.

The counter-attack method is no longer a problem. Hundreds or even thousands of troops can advance at the same time and stop at the same time, leaving enough time for communication in between. There is almost no flaw.

The tactics are becoming complete, and what remains, the most critical, is logistics.

It is easy to send out troops, and it is also easy to organize people to dig ditches and build forts, but where will the food come from? Where will the carriages, horses and livestock come from?

Li Mengxi couldn't help but frown when he recalled how grain, fodder, carriages and horses were dealt with in Luoyang's riot plan.

He looked up at Liu Bei and said, "We can recall Guan and Zhang to discuss this together."

Liu Bei nodded, called the messenger, and went to recall Guan and Zhang who were leading the troops overnight.

If it were Luoyang, it would not be difficult to get grain, grass, chariots and horses, just kill the powerful and help the people. But this time we cannot kill the powerful, so we have to either collect the grain, grass, chariots and horses, or buy them.

The question comes back to that step again, is the name of General Zhendong useful?

In the government, the title of General Zhendong has some effect, but the actual situation will be very complicated. The actual situation will be that the officials will be submissive and even exploit the people in the name of raising food.

When he thought of exploiting the people, Li Mengxi suddenly realized a big problem. This time he sent people to rescue the counties, which was not only a military action, but also a political action.

The Julu sergeants went to the place with the order. The soldiers were waiting one by two like high-ranking officials to join them. If one of them was not strictly guarded, and there were so many guys who preyed on the common people and committed crimes, wouldn't it mean that the thief army did not arrive but the common people suffered first?

The poisonous hands of Julu officers and soldiers.

Li Mengxi asked himself, what is the military discipline of the Julu Army now? The military discipline of the Julu Army is very good, but not good enough.

In Julu, military discipline is strict, and soldiers in Julu rarely commit crimes, but it is not certain what will happen to the soldiers once they lose their restraint.

Li Mengxi then remembered the farming incident. Once when he was farming in Zhuozhou, he was afraid that the villagers would conflict with the villagers, so he stipulated that whoever dared to conflict with the villagers would be punished regardless of whether he was right or wrong.

The reason for this move was because they were afraid that the Tunding would take advantage of their power to bully others, and they were also worried that the Tunding would not have the ability to handle the problem properly, so they cut it across the board.

Now that they are fighting away from home, conflicts will inevitably arise during the negotiations between the Julu Cavalry and the locals, and the cavalry may not necessarily have the ability to handle conflicts properly. What if an impulsive guy kills a local ruffian in a rage?

If you chop it down, if the villagers get angry and attack, the casualties of three or five cavalrymen will not be a problem, but if the defense plan goes wrong, the whole thing will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi solemnly wrote, "The cavalry must not be given any right to kill or punish anyone. If anyone dares to kill someone, no matter what the reason, he will be killed."

The dispatch of troops to assist the counties this time is a political action. Political correctness is more important than fighting. Even if there are not enough troops to rescue the people, we must not do any harm to the villagers.

When Li Mengxi realized the political significance of this battle, he also considered that if the local government was responsible for providing food and grass, the local government would take the opportunity to plunder the people's wealth. At that time, the people may not necessarily understand the good deeds of the Julu Army, but they will definitely scold the Julu Army.

Deer Army.

Therefore, from this, on the one hand, it has to be heard first, and when it reaches the place, it has to be spread first. [The giant deer helps the army to fight off thieves, and does not ask for food from the people, but raises the food and grass by itself.] I only need to declare this, and there will probably be more after that.

The Dog Officer went to plunder the people in the name of rewarding the Julu Army. But when the time came, the people would curse and scold the Dog Officer. The Julu Army said that they would raise their own food and grass, but the Dog Officer still collected the grain.

You don't need to ask for food from the local government, but you can collect armored weapons from the government. Armored weapons don't burden the people, and the government has no reputation to plunder the people for armored weapons.

Weapons are obtained from the government, and food and grass are raised by oneself. The method of raising one's own food is very simple. Method one is to kneel down in front of the village with a broken bowl and ask for food. This method can indeed raise some food, but haha.

The second method is to persuade people to get food. Ask those powerful people for food. They bully the people and Li is unwilling to do it. If they bully the powerful people, they will bully them.

There is also the method of raising food, the third method, this method is the most important - buying.

This time I went out to the army with a lot of money, but in the huge battle plan, those few carts of money were just a drop in the bucket.

So, if you don’t have enough money, how can you buy food?

The answer is, if copper coins are not enough, use other money, paper money.

Li Mengxi went to bring a bunch of banknotes and showed them to Liu Bei. He explained the types of banknotes to Liu Bei, "This kind of banknotes are printed on high-quality paper, and the printing colors are cinnabar, realgar, ink and other mineral colors, and no plant pigments are used."

, because the mineral color is not easy to fade.”

Talking about anti-counterfeiting technology again, Li Mengxi pointed it out to Liu Bei under the light of the fire, and Liu Bei looked over.

"Anti-counterfeiting methods are divided into paper, handwriting, color, additives, etc.

Regarding the paper, the thickness, shape, and even cutting of the paper are extremely delicate.

Furthermore, as for the handwriting, the size, color, and position of the handwriting, there are several features to prevent counterfeiting in one word.

The colors are mixed with various colors. If others don’t know how I mix the colors, the printing colors will be different from mine.”

"Look here again." Li Mengxi pointed to the blank space in the lower left corner of the banknote. "Looking at the firelight, you can see that there is a mark of [Giant Deer] on the banknote. This is a watermark, which is rolled into paper pulp with a roller. This method is secretive.

It’s hard to know, it’s almost impossible for others to imitate it.”

Liu Bei followed what Li Mengxi said and looked at the lower left corner of the banknote carefully in the light of the fire. Sure enough, there was a faint word "Giant Deer" in it. The font was almost transparent, and if there was no ink, it made an imprint.

That's why it looks so transparent and hazy.

Liu Bei counted the thick stack of coins in his hand. The coins were counted with a clatter. After counting dozens of banknotes, looking at these exquisite banknotes, each of which was exactly the same, Liu Bei turned around and asked, "This piece of paper money

, how much is it worth?”

Li Mengxi pointed to the big character [hundred] on the banknote and said, "One hundred dollars."

When he went out to the army, he did not plan to bring banknotes with him because the banknote technology had not yet been perfected and was not planned to be officially printed. The banknotes stored in the warehouse were the products of trained craftsmen. Before leaving, Li Mengxi temporarily took the banknotes with him.

Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

How many banknotes are there in Zi Zhong?

I don’t know, but there were about ten carts, and the banknotes were originally intended to be used as consumables and fire starters. Anyway, they were considering not issuing them, but they had to be destroyed anyway. I didn’t expect they would be used.

I don’t know how much a dozen cartloads of banknotes cost, but it’s a lot, a lot.

For food and grass, I was going to buy them all with paper money. Li Mengxi said, "If the powerful people refuse to accept paper money, there is no harm in buying them by force."

Although forced buying hurts the people's hearts, but after the incident, our army will go back to exchange the banknotes, and the people's hearts will naturally recover."
