This was the first time Chen Ning led his troops to fight in ancient times.

However, he had experience in joining the army, so he quickly got into the army.

At noon the next day, he rushed to Changlu County.

Changlu County was under the jurisdiction of Donghai County, and Chen Ning's bandit suppression was directly ordered by the Southeast Prince's Palace, and Changlu County was not yet aware of it. So Chen Ning ordered 200 people to station outside the county town, and he led Zhang Liao and several soldiers, accompanied by Li Ru, into the county town to meet the county magistrate.

Compared with Pengcheng, the prefecture city of Xuzhou, Changlu County is just a remote small county town with low walls and dilapidated. According to Li Ru, the arrogant bandits had come to Changlu County to rob and kill the county magistrate. They were extremely arrogant, so after the matter broke into Donghai County, the southeast king's mansion, and the southeast king sent troops to encircle and suppress it.

In fact, the terrain here is mainly plains, without steep mountains or complex terrain. The reason why so many bandits and bandits can gather is entirely due to their location. Go north to Yanzhou, and go west to Hexiang County, which is Yuzhou. Xuzhou soldiers and horses must also be concerned about the rules and cannot drive straight into other states. Once they get into evil, it will be bad.

Walking on the mossy-covered stone street, it is calm and simple. The people are wearing gray slings, walking in a hurry and not bright and beautiful way. This is the true portrayal of the people of this era.

When he arrived at the county government office, the soldier stepped forward to inform him of his identity.

When the yamen runners saw that they were coming to suppress the bandits, they immediately gave them admiration and gratitude, but they were deeply poisoned.

"Dare you ask the general, how many thousands of soldiers have come?" the yamen runner asked in anticipation.

"Two hundred." Zhang Liao replied.

The yamen runner opened his mouth wide and couldn't help asking, "Who is here for one day trip?"

After saying that, he realized that the soldiers looked bad, and quickly apologized: "Grandpa, forgive me, forgive me. The villain should beat me. Because those bandits are too cunning. Although there are not many bandits in each village, they are like rabbits. They run away when they see the turmoil. It is difficult for thousands of people to encircle them."

Chen Ning did not make things difficult for him and asked, "Where is the county magistrate?"

"Sir, I am in Zuixian Tower. If you have any urgent matters, you can go there to find him." The yamen runner said truthfully.

Li Ru smiled: "This name is good. Could it be a brothel or brothel?"

The yamen runners were afraid of making a mistake? So they smiled.

During the office period, the county magistrate visited brothels, and it can be seen that he was not a good official. Then again? In the current situation in the Great Jin Dynasty, how many good officials are there?

Are you a corpse and a meal? You are all good officials, but you are more of an exploitation of the people? You are corrupt and rich. As for those who bully men and women? There are even more.

Chen Ning had no time to ask for the people, so he directly sent a soldier to Zuixianglou and handed the official documents to the county magistrate, which was also considered to inform him of his own group of people's purpose? Avoid unnecessary trouble.

Then? Chen Ning and others left the county town and set up camp.

In the camp, Li Ru took out the topographic map near Changlu County, pointed to the four directions on the map, and said, "Young Master? Before coming, I ordered people to find out the nearby bandits and bandits. There are four places in total. The largest one is sixty miles north of Changlu County? Qingfeng Village hidden on Lianshan Mountain. There are 170 to 80 bandits inside. Two years ago, this group of people robbed Changlu County."

"The second is the west of Changlu County? The two bandit nests on the border of Hehexiang County are called Zhengjiazhai and Juyitang? Each one has about one hundred, thirty or forty people."

"To the southwest, near Qi County? There is also a group of thieves in the Weishan Lake? More than one hundred people."

"These four bandits and bandits rely on their beneficial positions, so they are unscrupulous and believe that they can attack and retreat and defend, so they do not take the encirclement and suppression of troops seriously. Our group has fewer troops, so the other party probably won't care."

This is the benefit of having a military advisor, and everything is investigated.

"Sir, we are indeed small in number, how should we wipe them out?" Chen Ning asked.

Li Rufu Xu replied: "No hurry yet, young master will practice military affairs first. Although your training method is unheard of, it has excellent results. First polish these two hundred people and cultivate loyalty. By the way, hide the shortcomings and make those bandits think that we are here to walk around and make them take it lightly."

"I have notified the family that in a few days, a caravan will transport a batch of supplies to Yanzhou, pretending that there are valuable things inside, and then the news will be released."

Li Xiaojie clapped his hands and said, "Does his father want to lure the enemy to annihilate it?"

Li Ru ignored his stupid son, but looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Zhang Liao, what do you think?"

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "I think the design of Mr. Hunter will definitely not be that simple, and once these bandits realize it is a trick to lure the enemy, they may abandon it. With their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, it is difficult to annihilate it."

Li Ru looked at Chen Ning again.

Chen Ning looked at the map and immediately understood Li Ru’s idea.

Chen Ning said: "Why do these bandits and bandits plunder here? It's because it's convenient and has resources. Vendors need to go to Yuzhou and Yanzhou through here, but this is not a necessary way. I believe that with the rampant bandits here, there are few vendors in the past. Even if they have to pass by, they will be equipped with sufficient guards, so their lives are not easy. You can see the clues from Qingfeng Village that directly robs Changlu County."

"Since ancient times, we have been enemies, not counting as thieves in Weishan Lake. The distance is too far. Just talking about the other three families, they are definitely enemies of each other. If a fat sheep caravan passes by at this time, they naturally want to take it for themselves. So instead of encircling them, it is better to intensify their conflicts and let them kill each other."

"The truth that has never changed since ancient times has been unchanged."

After hearing this, Li Ru smiled and stroked her beard.

His son is very good at making a move, but he can guess what he thinks.

"That's right! Let Qingfeng Village snatch this caravan, and then the rumors say that the items in the caravan are worth a lot. By then, Zhengjia Village and Juyitang will inevitably hold grudges, because the things were snatched by their opponents in the area where they were responsible, and these two families will inevitably be angry. They are not as good as Qingfeng Village, but they join forces and will definitely dare to destroy Qingfeng Village. Qingfeng Village is the local snake here. Faced with the suppression of the opponent, he will not retreat. Once he retreats, his face will be gone, so he will inevitably have to fight head-on. At that time, they will create the illusion of withdrawing troops, let them relax and slack, and then take advantage of the old man." Li Ru told the plan all over.

After careful savoring Zhang Liao and Li Xiaojie, they admire Lianlian.

"But there is a small problem, that is, Zhengjiazhai and Juyitang may not be harmonious. I am afraid that they will not unite, so I will fail. It is best to send someone to promote this matter, but I don't have the right person yet." Li Ru replied.

If you can convince the two bandits to join forces, you must have something to do with them. It is indeed difficult to find such a person.
