Let’s talk about Liu Tao’s journey to the south, but he was traveling to Fan County to Zhongshan County instead of going south directly, and entering Qinghe County through Yi County. He stopped and arrived in the village and asked the local people whether there were thieves nearby.

If there is, lead the army to encircle and suppress it. If there is no, continue to move southwest.

"Brothers, they are all 20 to 30, or at most 100 bandits, or bandits composed of Yellow Turban thieves who have been exiled here. Local county magistrates can conquer them. Why do we have to conquer them in person?" Zhang Fei didn't understand, so he stepped forward to ask.

"Canshan, how many thieves have we attacked?" Liu Tao did not answer directly, but instead asked Lu Yan.

"Just three thieves, they are all thieves who are not as good as climate!" Lu Yan replied casually when he heard this.

"How is the seizure?" Liu Tao continued to ask.

"It's just as the capture, more than fifty people were killed, more than twenty thieves were captured, and several weapons and armor were handed over to Fanyang County for handling." Lu Yan thought for a while this time, but he answered quickly.

"How to deal with food and materials?" Liu Tao asked again.

"Of course we have!" Lu Yan replied immediately, "It's enough for the entire army to spend half a month."

"That's right!" Liu Tao immediately looked at Zhang Fei, "This time we go south, we must eat the enemy to a large extent. Otherwise, the supply line will continue to lengthen, and even the Zhang family will go bankrupt. The key is that if there are outstanding strength among the thieves, they can recruit baggage troops or even war soldiers as a supplement to the headquarters! At the same time, the soldiers can also get along with each other after fighting the thieves and gradually adapt to the war!"

In other words, the troops will become stronger and stronger as they fight, and at the same time they can collect enough materials to ensure the maintenance of the army. Another point Liu Tao did not say is that he can gain some experience points when he wins a battle. The key is that every time the battle ends, relying on the effect of Su Sheng’s Dafa, he can also restore 30 magic points, which is what he needs.

After three wars, all 70 magic points have been restored. Even if you encounter another tough battle, you can still deal with it calmly.

"So that's it!" Zhang Fei was immediately convinced. He had the intention of cleaning up the thieves along the way. The others also nodded silently, but only Jian Yong showed an inexplicable smile.

During the night's break, Jian Yong suddenly came over and found Liu Tao. The latter did not expect Jian Yong to come over and immediately welcomed him in. Since joining, Jian Yong has a break in character, but he is diligent in his work. Even Zhang Fei can't find any problems. As the chief clerk of the army, he has been respected by everyone.

"Xianhe is visiting late at night, what's the point?" Liu Tao didn't know why Jian Yong came late at night, but asked politely.

"What the lord said today is afraid that it will not be finished..." Jian Yong bowed to Liu Tao, "Yong Ruo was not wrong, there are still two points in the purpose of suppressing bandits along the way!"

"Oh, what two points?" Liu Tao was also curious. What did Jian Yong see?

"The first point is nothing more than letting local novices understand the existence of our militia. We are all so powerful, so the regular troops stationed in Zhuo County will naturally be even more powerful, so that those novices will understand what the consequences will be if they commit rebellion. In this way, even if we leave Zhuo County, we don't have to worry about another chaos in our hometown." Jian Yong said slowly.

"Let's just count it, then what about the second one?" Liu Tao actually had no plans, but he thought Jian Yong's words made sense.

"The second one is naturally to make a name for himself!" Jian Yong paved the way through the first point and then got to the point. "The lord must let the people of all counties know about the militia and their existence, so as to prepare for the future title of the lord!"

"………………” Liu Tao was silent. This was the biggest secret deep in his heart. Unexpectedly, Jian Yong saw through it. You should become famous as soon as possible. He did not intend to let go of any opportunity to earn a reputation.

"What do you think of my arrangement?" Liu Tao asked at the end.

"Since the lord asked that..." Jian Yong did not have the concept of being polite or modesty. When Liu Tao asked, he directly answered frankly, "It seems that too much is not enough!"

"How do you say this?" Liu Tao was really unhappy at this moment, but he still planned to hear what he said.

"The lord plans to train troops along the way, obtain some supplies to supplement military use, and even recruit some thieves as war soldiers... It is understandable in itself. Even if you earn some reputation and shock a little girl, it is natural." Jian Yong first recognized Liu Tao's approach, after all, this does make some sense.

The key point was that afterwards, he paused and began to refute: "I specifically look for weak thieves, but I missed the real battlefield, but it was quite unwise. We went all the way west into Zhongshan County, and then we had to go south to Julu County. It is reported that the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou were defeated step by step under the attack of Lu Zhi, the general of the North Central Army. If we don't go there quickly, we will be afraid that it will be difficult to get any credit. This is one of them!"

There were too many thieves along the way, especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were many defeated soldiers from all over the country, or after being defeated, they fled to the place to be the mountain king. After the conquest, they were afraid that too much time would be wasted. Such small contributions should be given to the local county magistrates instead of going to conquer them in person. At the same time, there were not many supplies that could be obtained from small groups of thieves and were not worth fighting. This was Jian Yong's first view.

"At the same time, fighting with thieves of this level for a long time is probably arrogance for the soldiers, thinking that the Yellow Turban thieves are just like this. When they really want to fight a tough battle, they will have irreversible consequences due to insufficient predictions. This is the second thing!" Jian Yong continued to make a statement.

It’s like playing a game, getting used to the super simple mode, and thinking that this game is just like this, so after it is adjusted to the nightmare level, it is directly abused to doubt life. War is a game without archives, and it is really abused to that level, but it will be dead!

"What's the third?" Liu Tao sat there, waited for a minute, and heard Jian Yong continue to speak, so he asked.

"I've finished talking." Jian Yong spread his hands. This time he came here mainly to let Liu Tao understand that this plan is a bit too much and too little, and that's the whole purpose.

To talk about the third reason, it is not without it. He always feels that Liu Tao is hiding something from him, only Lu Yan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei know. Perhaps it is this reason that Liu Tao will select some weak thieves to attack?

But since Liu Tao didn't say it, he could only pretend not to know and not take the initiative to ask.

"Cough... Then, according to your intention, we should go directly to Jizhou?" Liu Tao covered up his embarrassment with a light cough, and then looked at Jian Yong and asked.

"I am just the chief clerk. What I should say has been finished. How to make a decision is the lord's business." Jian Yong stood up and said goodbye and left. Without waiting for Liu Tao to reply, he left the tent directly.

"Uh..." Liu Tao didn't expect Jian Yong to have such a personality and was speechless.

He didn't go to Jizhou immediately, just because it was only more than March and it was only April there. Lu Zhi had not defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves and surrounded him. The militia may encounter it and resist the main force of the Yellow Turban thieves, but how should he tell this?!
