After crossing the top of the mountain, looking down from the top of the mountain, I saw the camp of the Hussars and Horses, and suddenly it came into view.

Although it is not too early today and there is not enough light in the mountains, you can still see the three-color flags fluttering, as if declaring the ownership of this land.

Because the flat land between the mountains is not very wide, the hussar camp in front of you stretches all the way to the other side of the mountain. If you count it in terms of tents...

"What are you looking at?" Wang Shuang shouted from the side.

"I didn't see anything..." Qu Huang smiled and said, "Suddenly seeing this camp, I couldn't help but feel shaken and couldn't help myself..."

Wang Shuang glanced sideways, did not continue to say anything, but continued to move forward.

Because of the restrictions of the mountain, and the need to avoid some woods and shrubs that are difficult to clear, the campsite is relatively scattered, and there are no specific campsite fences or walls, so it looks somewhat scattered and disorderly.

Under the banner, some veterans were polishing their armor and chatting and laughing with the surrounding soldiers. They seemed not to pay attention to the Zigui they were about to face. They looked relaxed and spoke as if no one else was around. Lian Quhuang passed by.

, didn’t seem to take a second glance.

This is a typical veteran oil man. Of course, from a certain perspective, it also means that Wei Yan and his men do not seem to have any organizational discipline.

Everyone has his or her own way of running the army. Xu Huangmei was rigorous in running the army, talking little and smiling, while Zhao Yunmei led by example and had clear rewards and punishments. Zhang Liao, on his side, was friendly and harmonious, like brothers. As for Wei Yanmei,

Another form...

Wei Yan is very realistic and only recognizes his ability. If he is obedient and has no ability, he will be kicked out by Wei Yan. If he is capable, Wei Yan will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye if he is usually lazy. Therefore, compared with other generals under the Hussars,

In a normal camp, walking and sitting postures are not so strictly enforced.

In fact, each general's way of running the army is not necessarily fixed, but will change according to the actual situation. For example, Xu Huang is mainly responsible for Guanzhong. On weekdays, it is more about soldier training and battle formation organization, so

It also pays more attention to the mutual cooperation between soldiers, the changes in the overall structure of the battle formation, etc. Naturally, it is necessary to march appropriately and cooperate well. Another example is Zhao Yun, who is in the north and mainly fights with cavalry, so he must maneuver on the spot.

, facing barbarian vassals also requires clear distinction between rewards and punishments...

Wei Yan, the Sichuan and Shu troops, most of the time, it is difficult to carry out large-scale operations. In the mountains and forests, it is a very good combat environment to be able to launch a thousand-man team. Therefore, small teams and mountain forest operations are the main requirements, so it is more

The emphasis on teamwork and team combat capabilities, and the low demand for large-scale battle formations, has naturally resulted in the current model with the team as the main core, which naturally seems to be a somewhat fragmented style.

Qu Huang walked forward, suddenly raised his head, and saw a big man sitting cross-legged on the rocks.

This big man has a broad face, round eyes, a straight nose, a full sky, and a wide land. If you look at these alone, he has a straight face, but his two eyebrows are flying left and right unruly, like two small steel forks.

, with three horns protruding from the branches, and a beard, which gave a somewhat rude look to the face that was supposed to be upright.

Behind the big man, there is a battle flag with the word "Wei" flying high.

Qu Huang didn't dare to look any further and quickly followed Wang Shuang to pay homage...

After a short period of questioning and answering, Qu Huang bowed his hand towards Wei Yan and formally entered the topic, asking: "I don't know, general, what do you want when you lead the army? Do you want to harm the people or save the people?"

Wei Yan heard that Qu Huang was a young man, so he became somewhat interested. As soon as they met, Qu Huang started questioning Wei Yan. Although he was a young man, he was quite powerful.

Wei Yan pinched his beard and looked at Qu Huang, who was short and thin. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Of course it is to save the people." Needless to say, who would say that the purpose of debut is to harm people? "You ask this question.

, just want to say, if you want to save the people, you will not be able to levy food and grass, but you still need to appease the refugees? However, you are not affiliated with the Hussar, and the taxes you paid also belong to Jingxiang. If you want to be exempted, you should go to Jingzhou to claim it!

』

"This..." Qu Huang's rhythm was disrupted, but he was not prone to mood swings like an ordinary young man. Instead, he immediately changed the subject and went on to say, "The general came from the west, and he is naturally very eager."

East, advance towards Jiangling... The road from Badong to Brazil, although there is a feasible waterway, is still difficult and dangerous... Although the general has said that he has reached Zigui in several counties, it is difficult to travel along the way and needs to be guarded. There will not be many soldiers left at this point.

Food and grass are in short supply, so we need to connect with large households to get supplies..."

"Huh?" Wei Yan tilted his head, looked at Qu Huang, pointed to Ma Zha beside him, "Sit down."

In fact, some of what Qu Huang said was right, and some of it was wrong, but Wei Yan was a little surprised to have such a clear idea at such an age.

Thanks to the steady development of Sichuan and Shu over the years, this time Wei and Yan came together by land and water. It was not that there was a shortage of food and grass. It was just that the soldiers had to be dispersed to keep the entire route open. Even if they only left a hundred here on the key points,

There is fifty left over there. The scattered numbers add up to a large sum, so indeed the further east you go, the fewer the number of soldiers will be.

At the same time, Wei Yan still needs to prepare to lure Jingzhou refugees into Sichuan and Shu. Of course, he also needs to make some other preparations. Therefore, even if there is no shortage of food and grass for the time being, he will still want to solve some food problems in enemy areas. After all, there are some things in the art of war.

There is a saying, "If you eat the enemy for one minute, you will treat me twenty times."

Wei Yan laughed, looked at Qu Huang and said, "Young man is very eloquent, but... just with these few words, do you want to be exempted from the tax?"

Qu Huang's face could not help but blush slightly, but he quickly said: "Although the Qu family has a hundred acres of land, it is rented to the people at a low price, and the food and grass accumulated are not much. The general can ask about this in the countryside."

, around Zigui, only the Qu family paved roads and built bridges, taking care of the widows and widowers..."

"So the Qu family are all good people, and good people need preferential treatment?" Wei Yan laughed loudly, "Is your talent only limited to this? Haha, if you have no other words, you can go!"

Qu Huang was silent for a while, and finally said: "Qu can help the general to obtain Zigui! I wonder if the general is willing to save Qu from the worries of being a refugee?"

"How to get it? Let me tell you first." Wei Yan looked at Qu Huang and did not directly make any promise to Qu Huang.

Qu Huang gritted his teeth. Although he was a little angry, he quickly said: "Young man is willing to go to Zigui, and I urge him to offer the city!"

"Oh?" Wei Yan looked at Qu Huang up and down, "Aren't you afraid that the Zigui County magistrate will chop off your sacrificial flag?"

"There are countless refugees now, and the counties and counties along the way are doing nothing, which shows that Jingzhou is in chaos and there is no way to save it..." Qu Huang said, "Although Zigui is a large county in Badong, the city defense is acceptable, if compared with the Jiangling area in Xiangyang

, then there is a huge gap. Xiangyang Jiangling cannot be defended for a long time, so what about Zigui? Qiusi treats the people generously, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although the boy lives in a remote place, he has heard it... In troubled times, he is like a duckweed drifting, how can it be

Is there such a place as a good place? I would like to surrender to the hussar and be protected, so I would like to persuade Zigui to offer you, hoping that the general will take pity on you."

Wei Yan rubbed his beard and pondered.

Zigui is a large county in Badong. It has been an important town of Chu State since the Spring and Autumn Period. Not to mention other things, the number of soldiers stationed there alone is nearly two thousand. To attack it by force is not too difficult, but it is not easy either.

.What if we cheat the city gate like we did before? Because Zigui has an urn city structure, it is very troublesome. If we just attack from the outside without internal response, the risk is also extremely high.

Therefore, Wei Yancai was thinking about whether he could start with these manors outside Zigui City, and then, whether it was through kidnapping or coercion, he could cause some internal problems in Zigui so that he could take advantage of the situation. However, he did not expect this humiliation.

He simply said that he could persuade him to surrender...

It would save trouble if we really persuaded him to surrender.

Wei Yan's eyes flashed and he burst into laughter: "That's great! I will send someone to take you into the city!"

……(*???)=3……

Zigui returned to the city.

Qi Wukai and Lu Jie sat facing each other. Although their faces were slightly different, they both had frowns on their faces.

After a while, Qi Wukai said: "The place in Jiangling..."

Lu Jie shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not good."

Now Cao Cao and Sun Quan are competing with each other, and people like Qi Wukai and Lu Jie are caught in the middle, and are in a dilemma. If either side is more decisive and defeats the other in one go, then it will naturally be easy.

There is no need to do any multiple-choice questions, but the current situation is just like the stock market in March. I don’t know whether I should continue to listen to the story, or will it turn into an accident if I participate?

For Jingzhou, Qi Wukai and Lu Jie are just passers-by, or in other words, they are more like "professional managers". In their positions, they are only responsible for the KPIs of the positions and their own salaries. The rest

Well, I basically don’t care.

So now Zigui has become the last capital of Qi Wukai and Lu Jie. The two have been discussing for a long time with their chips in hand, but they have not come to a final result. Of course, they can also hang up their seals and leave, just like Yuan Shao did the same thing back then, but the problem is that even if Yuan Shao leaves, he can still rely on Yuan's name to eat, drink and be entertained by beautiful concubines along the way. But what about Qi Wukai and Lu Jie...

If Ma Hou hadn't said this, who would know these two people?

More importantly, the wealth accumulated in Zigui over the years cannot be shipped out!

There are refugees all along the way. If they really leave with a seal and no soldiers to protect them, I'm afraid not even the people and goods will be lost halfway!

Sad...

Both of them are really sad.

Just look at the other person's face and you will know how to write the word "sorrow".

"Reporting to the county magistrate and county lieutenant, the son of the Qu family below the city is asking for an audience!"

Zigui had already had its four doors closed a long time ago due to the refugees, and entry and exit were strictly prohibited.

"What is Mr. Qu here for?" Qi Wukai waved his sleeves, "But he is here for the refugees? Just say that someone already knows about it and is dealing with it. Let him turn his back and just wait!"

The Qu family's manor is in danger, what the hell are you doing? I can't protect my own family, so why should I care about your Qu family's manor? Besides, what's the benefit of protecting you, the Qu family? Not to mention the consumption of troops, it's not easy. Please.

The soldiers turned around and left, but came back after a while, "I would like to report to the county magistrate and county lieutenant that Qu Shizi has come to Zigui for the safety of Zigui, and that he has important military information that needs to be reported in person!"

Qi Wukai and Lu Jie looked at each other, and then Qi Wukai said: "Come in, general!"

Soon, Qu Huang came to the Zigui Mansion Office, straightened his robes and hair that were a little messy from running around, then walked into the hall proudly, greeted Qi Wukai and Lu Jie, "I have met the county magistrate. , I have met the county captain..."

"Easy to say, easy to say," Qi Wukai said with a smile, "Your Majesty sent you here, what can I do for you?"

Qu Huang said: "Your Majesty, the county magistrate, I did not come here under the orders of my father, but came to ask for orders from the people of Jingzhou!"

Qi Wukai turned around and exchanged glances with Lu Jie, "How do you say this?"

"Now that Jingzhou is in turmoil, all the princes are devouring them, regardless of the displacement of the people. My heart aches when I see this..." Qu Huang raised his head and said, with a clear sense of justice, "Now there are horsemen and horses attacking from the west..." …』

"What?!" Qi Wukai stood up suddenly and almost hit the desk, "Is this serious?!"

"How many troops are there? Where are they located?" Lu Jie on the side also asked anxiously.

Qi Wukai was originally just a scholar of Confucian classics. He was more or less able to deal with the issues in Confucian classics, and he could barely use it in people's livelihood and government affairs. As for the military, he basically just scratched his eyebrows and beard, and didn't have much idea. , so I won’t think about what it is and check around to find any abnormalities...

Lu Jie, although he can draw horses with his bow and kill bandits with his sword, but as for what is needed for a real battle formation and how to send troops to set up the formation, Lu Jie still has some successes in dealing with bandits, but
To be continued...
