In the second half of the night, Guan and Zhang rushed back one after another. Neither Guan nor Zhang knew what the urgent matter was that called them all night.

When Liu Bei told Guan and Zhang about the plan to rescue the counties, Guan and Zhang were extremely surprised.

Guan Yu immediately objected, "No!" Guan Yu said anxiously, "With the war approaching, it would be a big mistake to transfer the cavalry away!"

Zhang Fei also said, "Why rush to rescue other places? We have destroyed the Bohai pirate army and it will not be too late to save other places."

Liu Bei shook his head and refuted Zhang Fei's statement, "Third brother, the military situation is urgent. If we delay for one more day, tens of thousands of people will die. There is no time to delay."

Liu Bei had already made up his mind. He would send cavalry to assist each county no matter what he said. No matter how hard Guan and Zhang tried to dissuade him, Liu Bei never wavered.

Guan and Zhang looked at Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi not only refused to persuade him, but also spoke for Liu Bei. Guan and Zhang knew that this was not going to work.

Li Mengxi looked at Guan and Zhang who had become silent because they could not be dissuaded. He smiled and said, "I have called you two back to discuss the strategy. Come here, let's take a look at the map. Let's discuss it together."

Zhang and Zhang were probably aware of the matter, but they just dispatched almost all the cavalry, traveled thousands of miles, dispersed six or seven counties, nearly a hundred counties, and hundreds of townships, and pulled up hundreds of rural soldiers to assist the villagers in fighting.

All the cavalry, thousands of miles, hundreds of troops...

Breathtaking.

Li Mengxi and Liu Bei had already discussed the general outline of the military plan, and all that was left was to perfect the details.

Speaking of sending a team of five cavalrymen to various places in the countryside with General Zhendong's military order to ask the government and the people to assist, Guan Yu suddenly raised his head and asked, "What is the name of the cavalry to order the government and the people?"

Li Mengxi casually said, "In the name of General Zhendong."

"...you mean, what is the name of the cavalrymen who give orders?"

Li Mengxi glanced at Guan Yu, frowned and said, "In terms of name, the cavalry of the Julu Army under General Zhendong..." Halfway through, Li Mengxi realized what Guan Yu meant.

What Guan Yu meant was that the cavalry should have an identity when they arrive at the place. Otherwise, if others hear that they are just ordinary cavalry of the Julu Army, they will not obey orders.

After reacting, Li Mengxi immediately had an idea. He suddenly said, "You can fake the name of Thousand Men General."

Fake Thousand-Man General means that every cavalryman of the Julu Army calls himself a Thousand-Man General of the Julu Army when he arrives at the place. Only with his identity can he issue orders.

Guan Yu thought about it carefully, and he felt that it was still wrong, "I only have a name, but I'm afraid there are still some shortcomings. There are only five cavalrymen, but they are not strong and powerful. They claim to be generals with a thousand men, not to mention the government, and the people are hesitant."

Do not believe."

This is indeed a big problem.

Being able to command a place is the key to success. To command a place, you must have the power to intimidate everyone. You must have power, especially the power of a "thousand-man general". For such a large official as a thousand-man general, the following soldiers must be at least

There may be two to three hundred people, but just five cavalry will definitely not do it.

Everyone started discussing this "power".

Zhang Fei said that a hundred cavalry can act as a team.

"No." Li Mengxi retorted, "The area is too vast and we have too few cavalry to gather troops. If we gather troops, we won't be able to take care of it."

Guan Yu thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "Xi'er, what do you think of this? You might as well gather first and then disperse. First, gather fifty cavalry into a powerful force, and then use the power of fifty cavalry to order the government to summon the local soldiers. The fifty cavalry can be summoned.

After hundreds of rural soldiers, they will be dispersed, and five cavalry will form a team. Add a hundred rural soldiers, and the power will be achieved."

This method is good, as it not only takes into account the speed of assisting defense, but also takes into account the most difficult problem at the beginning, the problem of too few manpower.

Li Mengxi immediately wrote down the method.

The details of the operation were changed. The strategy after the rural soldiers arrived at the place was changed to: when the rural soldiers arrived at the place, they first gathered together to recruit the first wave of soldiers. After the first wave of soldiers was formed, they dispersed to various parts of the countryside.

Finally, the discussion continued. When it came to how to attract rural soldiers to serve, Zhang Fei said an interesting method. Zhang Fei said, you can buy more chickens, ducks and pigs. After recruiting the rural soldiers, it is best to eat meat every day.

It is to let the people see that there is meat to eat, and then the people will come without calling.

Zhang Fei's method is very good. The reason why Zhang Fei came up with such a method of managing people's hearts is experience. You know, Zhang Fei went to Luoyang twice, once with Liu Bei and once with Li Mengxi.

Yes, Zhang Fei had to be prepared to riot at any time during these two times. Zhang Fei never succeeded in rioting, but he accumulated a lot of experience.

In the Luoyang riot plan, when the planned attack on the villages was to coerce the people, the powerful people were killed to help the people. The powerful people's houses plundered money, food, chickens, ducks and livestock. For these different materials, Zhang Fei had already arrived in Luoyang

At that time, we had already figured out a way to deal with it. Money is useless when it comes to coercion, so instead of dragging down logistics with money, it is better to spread the money of big families to poor people. When the people get the money of big families, they will immediately lose their resistance.

, it immediately became a community of interests.

By this time, the people probably did not want to avenge the big family at all, and were even eager for Zhang Fei to succeed. If Zhang Fei succeeded, the money of the big family would not have to be paid back. If Zhang Fei failed, everyone would have to hand over the money.

With this mentality, the people of Luoyang were not necessarily willing to rebel against Zhang Fei, but they were also unwilling to become Zhang Fei's enemy.

People can help each other, which has virtually reduced a lot of trouble.

In the same way, after taking over powerful families, cattle, mules and animals can still pull carts to transport food. Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are too burdensome to carry, so they can only be eaten. Zhang Fei thought at the time that after coercing the people, the people would be frightened and uneasy at first, and they would escape.

There are bound to be many who run away. At this time, comforting people's hearts is the first priority. Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep that are not easy to carry are just the way to calm people's hearts.

At the beginning of the coercion, when people were most turbulent, they could eat unlimited amounts of chicken, duck, pig, and mutton meat, and eat as much as they wanted.

The people were hungry and cold all year round, and they could not even get enough to eat, let alone meat. They could eat meat as much as they wanted. Zhang Fei himself estimated that the supply of meat alone could directly retain one-third of the people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The little chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep obtained by copying the big players can only be eaten for a few days, but they can sustain the most unstable first few days of people's hearts.

Days are enough. After surviving the first few days, strict military discipline and strict queue training methods will be used to restrain discipline. When the meat is eaten, discipline has just begun to be established and escape incidents can be controlled.

It can be said that the point of "buying people's hearts with meat" is directly related to the success or failure of the entire riot plan.

Zhang Fei is now actually the person with the most experience in rebellion, and the person with the most experience in sweeping the Chengdu University. Although Zhang Fei has not yet rebelled, and has never actually coerced a riot, he can coerce every detail of the riot plan. Feidu had considered it over and over again. Although the aid to the counties this time was neither coercion nor riot, it was very similar to coercion and riot. Zhang Fei's accumulated experience came in handy inadvertently.

Zhang Fei's method is excellent. He uses meat to attract people to join, then uses meat to calm people's hearts, and takes the opportunity to carry out strict discipline training. This method alone can speed up the recruitment efficiency by 30%.

Finally, when it comes to training, formation training cannot be done by just one person. It takes more people to form a demonstration formation. In this regard, a team of five cavalrymen has just enough people to demonstrate formation.

The Julu Army has enough experience in growing. It was a precedent for the army to grow from 500 rural soldiers to hundreds of thousands. When Zhang Fei led his troops to the hinterland of Luoyang and did not take action, there was always a plan to sweep the army into hundreds of thousands. This is also a precedent. The Julu Army also has enough experience in commanding weak soldiers. It was a precedent when they commanded hundreds of thousands of unarmed refugees to fight against the official army. Zhang Fei wanted to coerce the common people to surround Luoyang, and the common people under his control also controlled the weak soldiers. precedent.

To control weak soldiers, weak soldiers have weak organization, weak military equipment, weak morale, weak tactics, and weak logistics.

The twelve zodiac paper flags used for weaving can be drawn into a weave instantly.

The soldiers have spare bows and crossbows, bamboo and wood armor, and bamboo and wood spears, all of which can be used in battle.

Morale is replenished with training.

Tactics include vehicle formations, earthen forts, ambush tactics from all directions, fire bull formations, long rafters and spear formations, and even grand strategy of hundreds of troops attacking simultaneously. Earthen forts, trenches, and the Julu Army have used the long rafters and spear formations. The Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao has been used, the Fire Ox Formation Zhang Jiao has been used, and the House of Flying Daggers Zhang Jiao has also been used. All these tactics can be used to fight the weak against the strong.

In terms of logistics, this is the biggest weakness.

The rural soldiers can defend well at home, and supplies are easy, but once the army goes out to counterattack, they have to have food and fodder convoys, accommodation, management, and food and drink. The complexity involved may be beyond the capabilities of the ordinary cavalry of the Julu Army. It is also possible that rural materials cannot help.

At this point, the Julu Army needed to turn a thousand cavalry into a thousand generals who could command at least 500 marching troops. At this point, it was suddenly discovered that the ordinary soldiers of the Julu Army lacked sufficient military literacy.

Thinking about it, today's ordinary soldiers of the Julu Army have battle formation training, fighting skills training, and writing learning, but they have never been involved in the full set of camping, training, marching, combat, recruitment, preparation of supplies, etc. study.

In other words, there is no full set of military instruction.

Li Mengxi realized that it was time to open a military school specifically to train officers. But the trouble is that to open a military school, there must be students, and the students must at least be literate. But the current problem is that the literacy level of the soldiers is still far from enough. It is also a headache. .

No matter what the future holds, no matter what the future officer training plan is, there is no way to train qualified officers who can stand alone and command hundreds of people in a short time. Problems such as marching, setting up camps, raising food, and fighting are bound to exist and will inevitably happen in the near future. After that, as a last resort, Li Mengxi came up with the idea that for this battle, he might as well temporarily print some combat manuals and send them to the cavalry, so that the cavalry can act according to the manuals.

As long as the manual is comprehensive enough and considered in enough detail, it will be of great help.

A more complex discussion begins, assuming the premise - for a soldier who has no military literacy at all, what kind of combat manual can help him complete the detailed tasks of recruiting, fighting, marching, raising food and grass, etc.?

It should be said that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Li Mengxi and others may not be good at magical strategies, but they are very good at "doing everything in detail"!

Everyone was once a waste—Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Li Mengxi were all waste.

Liu Bei didn't know how to resettle refugees, Guan Yu didn't know how to train troops, Zhang Fei didn't know how to fight at night, and Li Mengxi was even more awesome. Not only did Li Mengxi not know how to resettle refugees, how to train troops, and how to fight at night, he even knew the most basic skills.

Common sense, he didn't even know how to find firewood, how to cook, how to fetch water, and how to set up camp during the march. He was even stupider than Liu Guan and Zhang.

Fortunately, everyone was once a waste, and because we all grew up together from waste, we all have a very personal experience of how to manage logistics, marching, command, and combat from scratch.

Everyone started discussing the marching manual, and the discussion was very lively from the beginning. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Li Mengxi had so much to talk about.

In the past, when it came to strategies and plans, no matter who he talked to, Li Mengxi could always dominate at least 50% of the discussion. This time it was different.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang kept chattering away, and Li Mengxi couldn't get in the conversation anymore, so he could only help record the conversation.

Military related, at least involves, soldier recruitment, establishment, armament collection, training, garrison, march, food and grass, bedding, pottery urns, bowls, tents and sundries, firewood collection, making fire, carrying water, night watch, day watch,

Marching alert, blah blah, blah, blah.

These things are meticulous, every aspect, every item, has many details.

For example, when talking about the recruitment and organization of soldiers, Liu, Guan, and Zhang each thought of the past.

Liu Bei recalled the recruitment of troops in Zhuozhou. He said, "It is not necessary to recruit young and strong soldiers. Recruiting those who are poor and distressed and have to join the army will make them more stable."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Mengxi wrote, [Recruiting is difficult, the military morale is stable].

Zhang Fei said, "Those who stand out and stand out can be made the best in the army."

Li Mengxi was about to write down. He paused, raised his head and frowned, "I think it shouldn't be like this. Although a strong person can easily overwhelm others, a strong person can also easily bully others. This time he appeared

The army does not need to fight hard, it only needs to defend, and being stable is enough. The morale of the army is more important than fighting. Therefore, I think that the strong and strong should not be the leader of the army."

Liu, Guan, and Zhang all looked at Li Mengxi. They wanted to hear what Li Mengxi said. If the strong man is not the leader of the army, who should he do?

Li Mengxi thought for a while, "... Let's look at the training. Whoever performs well in the team will be promoted to team leader."

Li Mengxi felt that according to the training methods of the Julu Army, it is not easy to stand in a military posture. If you can stand for a long time without moving, your obedience and discipline will definitely be good. Such a person, even if he is not strong in body, will be able to

The role of the military is much higher than that of a strong body.
