Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 332 Strategy
When Lin Chengcheng and the others heard this, they were very curious, and they all looked over there.

He couldn't see it very clearly, so he talked with Yuan Shizhong, and they went over there to have a look together.

For a long time, Liaodong Jianlu was a prestigious existence.

Every time the imperial court army fights with Jianlu, they will be defeated!At least field battles are like this, never won!

The same is true, every time the imperial court mobilizes troops from all over the country to Liaodong, even the brave Qin soldiers, many of them will mutiny on the road.

It can be said that Jianlu has established an invincible image through countless victories!
Not to mention, at the beginning of last year, for Lin Chengcheng and others, Hong Chengchou, who fought very hard, and Cao Bianjiao, who beat Li Zicheng to only eighteen riders, were powerful enough, but they were defeated. The Jianlu army was wiped out, and even Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jianlu.

However, such a powerful Jianlu was defeated by the imperial court, and it was still a disastrous defeat. The 10,000+ army is almost wiped out.

This matter, although from all aspects, has been proved to be true.

However, now that there are real Jian prisoners in the distance, as long as they are individuals, they are very curious.It is reasonable to ask Yuan Shizhong to go over there and have a look.

This kind of curiosity, the very strong desire to see the "style" of the Jian captives, was not only the thinking of Lin Chengcheng and others, but also the thinking of all the people in the Fifth Gezuo Battalion.

After the news quickly spread to the back of the team, almost all the soldiers of the [-]th Gezuo Battalion, including their families, chattered and passed excitedly.

"I heard that Jianlu has three heads and six arms, so they are good at fighting!"

"No, it's just because they are barbarians, the kind that eat human flesh, so they are not afraid of death when fighting."

"That's not right, how did I hear that after the battle of Jizhou, Jianlu fled all over the mountains and plains after the collapse!"

"I heard that Jianlu's hairstyle is all money rat tails. I want to take a closer look. It's too strange to have such a hairstyle!"

"..."

Amidst the discussions, the team got closer and closer to the construction site by the river.

From Yuan Shizhong's side, people would naturally come to say hello. Therefore, the laboring migrant workers and the soldiers guarding the Jianlu were not afraid.

"Haha, another group of thieves has been recruited. Looking at it this way, the days of peace in the world may not be far away, right?"

"Let's forget about the fifth battalion of Gezuo. If it's the team of King Chuang and Cao Cao, I'm sorry, they still dare to come to us?"

"That's right, they all gave birth to sons without assholes, and they also said that the government forced the people to rebel. Are they so vicious, digging up the Yellow River dams, and they will be condemned by God!"

"..."

With Xiao Yuanying in the front, the migrant workers here did not have any ill feeling toward Gezuo Fifth Battalion, but it was clear that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's subordinates were absolutely unwelcome.

Those prisoners who were built, saw the supervisors going to observe an army one after another, so they all wanted to be lazy, and the hatred in their eyes also aimed at the team.After all, curiosity is human nature, although sometimes it kills the cat.

No, soon some supervisors saw that the Jian prisoners were being lazy, so they all rushed forward and whipped their whips, scolding the group of Jian prisoners for working.

Those who don't want to be humiliated have already confessed at the beginning.The Jian prisoners who are still working today all want to survive, lingering on their last days, and they are the ones who can live a day.

After being greeted by the whip, they all worked obediently one by one.

After Lin Chengcheng and the others got closer, he saw thousands of Jian captives, all of whom were really money rat tails. At least it could be seen that they used to be money rat tails, but now some short hair has grown on the bald places, and there are Unshaven, almost like a beggar.

So, they discussed excitedly one by one.

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen a real Jianlu, so it's about the same as us!"

"How can it be similar? At least we are human. Look, are they still human?"

"Hehe, it's just that people are taller and taller. It's not right. Many people are not as tall as I am. Just this, I really can't figure it out. How could they be so good at fighting before?"

"Tsk tsk, there are thousands of Jianzhu captives. Last year's battle in Jizhou was really exciting!"

"That's not it, that battle must be a battle of pride. From now on, Daming will also win!"

"Uncle Hua, did you enjoy the battle last year?"

"Hahaha, just call me Lao Yuan, who are we and who! Let me tell you, these Jian captives are not as powerful as the legends say. Once the casualties increase, they will be afraid. Let me tell you..."

"..."

After seeing the prisoners of Jianlu, unconsciously, the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo had a new understanding of the strength of the imperial court.

Some things, no matter how true you hear, are not as real as seeing is believing.

Four or five thousand Jian prisoners, this is definitely not a small number, and it is definitely shocking enough for the top and bottom of the Gezuo Fifth Battalion.

Originally, I thought that they were a strong army, and even many people might have some opinions on the court's handling of them. At this time, I didn't know when these opinions disappeared without a trace.

………………

In Kaifeng, Sun Chuanting went to see the king of Zhou again, and told the king of Zhou that Zuo Liangyu was a disaster for Henan, and he would probably come to Kaifeng.

King Zhou is also in a dilemma.Sitting and eating, the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years could not stand up to the years of wars, so he simply took Sun Chuanting to visit his inventory, and then said to Sun Chuanting: "Even if the emperor divides the solitary to a better place, the solitary will not be able to get it." How much food is there!"

The king of Zhou has been caught plucking wool, but he has indeed been plucked bald, with few hairs left.

But this time, it was barely able to support the current force to fight.However, the battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise, there will be insufficient money and food!
To be honest, Sun Chuanting was a little worried.

Although there is no problem in defeating Zuo Liangyu, if you want to wipe out Zuo Liangyu's troops, there will be problems in terms of military strength and food and grass.

At this time, Yuan Shizhong sent someone back to report the arrival of the person.

Even Sun Chuanting, who has always been expressionless, immediately showed joy when he heard the news, and praised repeatedly: "Good, good, good!"

Today, the most powerful thieves in the world are the four-way thieves.

One is the exiles from Li Zicheng's department, the second is the exiles from Luo Rucai's department, the third is the exiles from Zhang Xianzhong's department, and the fourth is the fifth battalion of Gezuo.

Originally, it was just trying to recruit security, but I didn't expect that Gezuo Fifth Battalion was actually recruited.In this way, the difficulty of encircling and suppressing the thieves will be lowered by going to one of the four.

There is another one, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo is composed of five relatively small bandits who unite to fight, and most of them are cavalry.Especially their tactics, they run away or hide when they encounter a strong army, and take the initiative to attack when they encounter a weak army. This kind of tactics is a headache for the court.

Now this army has been recruited and has become part of the imperial army.The comparison of strength between the imperial court army and the thieves is actually not to be underestimated.

Thinking about this matter, Sun Chuanting admired Emperor Chongzhen even more.I really feel that since Emperor Taizu appeared, Emperor Chongzhen's methods have become more and more powerful.

Among other things, Sun Chuanting knew with his toes that Ge Zuo Wuying was able to be recruited so smoothly, and it was definitely related to Emperor Chongzhen's appointment of Yuan Shizhong as Hua County Bo.Even if Yuan Zhuangfei is not the person sent to recruit security this time, it will not be so smooth.

Thinking about this matter, Sun Chuanting fell into deep thought.

After a while, he immediately went to the study and began to write the memorial.

Based on the current understanding, Sun Chuanting believes that the strategy for dealing with thieves should be based on recruiting security, supplemented by extermination.

The strength of the court officials and army is already strong, and they use this as their backing to deter thieves.Under such a premise, it would be much easier to recruit Anliu thieves.

And with the example of Yuan Shizhong in front of them, when the thieves felt the strong pressure from the imperial court and the army, they had another choice they were willing to choose.

After expounding this idea, Sun Chuanting flattered Emperor Chongzhen again in the memorial, thinking that the emperor really had foresight.Not only did he generously reward an earl of Yuan Shizhong, but he also issued an imperial decree to express the meaning of recruiting the thieves and bringing peace to the world as soon as possible.

Under such a premise, since the Fifth Gezuo Battalion is the first to respond to the call for security.Sun Chuanting proposed to Emperor Chongzhen that he felt that they could be named lieutenants instead of guerrillas.In order to encourage other thieves who are allowed to be recruited, they can submit to the court and reduce military disasters.

However, there is one more headache, that is, the fifth Gezuo Battalion has about 10 people and nearly [-] soldiers, including about [-] cavalry troops. Kaifeng has insufficient money and food to accommodate so many people.

Therefore, he went up to Emperor Chongzhen, asking for the allocation of money and food, and also asked Emperor Chongzhen for instructions on how to arrange the eliminated weak soldiers and their families.

In addition, he also suggested to Emperor Chongzhen that the king of Zhou was indeed running out of money and food.In the surrounding area, Wei Hui's feudal lord is the richest.

Although not stated explicitly, the meaning is still obvious.I want Emperor Chongzhen to find a way to ask for some money and food from the vassal prince of Weihui Mansion.

After writing the memorial, Sun Chuanting immediately sent someone to rush it to the capital.

Subsequently, a camp was arranged outside the city of Kaifeng.

Five days later, the fifth battalion of Gezuo arrived in Kaifeng.

Along the way, after getting to know the prisoners of Jian, I also saw that there is a lot of waste waiting to be built here. The energy of the court is focused on controlling the flooding of the Yellow River and restoring people's livelihood. When they arrived in Kaifeng, they all became very regular.

Because they felt that the court's style had really changed.

For most of the thieves, the rebellion is just for the sake of stuttering, which is different from the idea of ​​the leader of the thieves.Seeing signs of peace, they certainly longed to settle down.Otherwise, who knows if you can see the sun the next day on this kind of day with your head up!
