Thank you to CGL Xiaolongren, Baiyun Break 01 for your support, thank you

After the generals retreated, Yang Sichang was still thinking about his layout on the map. He hoped that this time he could wipe out the Xian thief in one fell swoop, and he had to wipe out the Xian thief in one fell swoop, and he had to see people in his life and corpses in his life. As long as he took Zhang Xianzhong, his current situation would be greatly changed. Even for this, he didn't care about other thieves and bandits, and all his attention was staring at Zhang Xianzhong.

"Sir, the messenger who went to Huangzhou has returned and brought back emergency news." The voice of the personal soldiers interrupted Yang Sichang's thoughts.

"It's the messenger who went to Macheng to transfer Liu Jun"

"Yes, he just rushed back."

"Take him here."

Yang Sichang said, putting away the map and sitting upright on the chair. He couldn't wait to know the news from Huangzhou. Yang Sichang also summarized the reasons for Xiong Wencan's failure these days, believing that although he made a big mistake in reprimanding the issue, the ultimate conviction of Xiong Wencan was the defeat of Fang County.

The defeat in Fang County was ultimately because the generals who led the troops Zuo Liangyu and Luo Dai did not obey Xiong Wencan's orders. Xiong Wencan had no soldiers and could only rely on those generals to fight. Although Zuo Liangyu was called Grandpa Zuo by the bandits and had rich experience in suppressing bandits, he was domineering because of this.

Yang Sichang felt that he had to change Xiong Wencan's way of presiding over the bandits, and his plan was to not fully trust veterans like Zuo Liangyu. If he wanted to change this kind of writing, he had to have his own trustworthy soldiers. Yang Sichang was preparing to establish his own battalion. He targeted several generals such as the new guerrilla general Liu Jun. These generals had some common ground, were young and could fight, but were not domineering.

He also knew that Xiong Wencan was planning to transfer Liu Jun as his subordinate officer, and Xiong Wencan even paid out of his own pocket to take out 50,000 taels of silver to Huangzhou to serve military pay for Liu Jun. Xiong Wencan was dismissed, and Yang Sichang planned to continue transferring Liu Jun and let him become his subordinate officer.

Although Liu Jun was just a newly promoted guerrilla, he once broke 600 and broke 6,000 with a victory without any moisture. He was definitely a general worthy of reusability, not to mention that he was a general who was praised by the emperor and had little deep foundation in the army. He happened to be used by himself. He also heard that Liu Jun recruited six or seven thousand new recruits with the money given by Xiong Wencan.

If Liu Jun can be transferred immediately and formed his own camp, then he will not have to rely entirely on domineering generals such as Zuo Liangyu.

"A little one pays homage to the cabinet."

"Get up, when will Liu Jun arrive in Xiangyang?" asked Yang Sichang.

The messenger replied nervously. "Report to the cabinet department, the young man didn't see Liu Jun this time."

"What"

"When the young man arrived at Macheng, Liu Jun had already led his troops away."

"I left, where have I gone?" Yang Sichang asked.

"Liu Jun took his troops to follow the new Prime Minister of Bandit Suppression, Master Mei, on a boat. It is said that he went to Kuizhou Prefecture to intercept Zhang Xianzhong. I heard that Premier Mei thought Zhang Xianzhong would definitely flee to Sichuan, so he went to intercept him." The messenger replied carefully, "Also, Liu Jun has been appointed by Premier Mei as a central officer and a central camp officer."

After hearing this, Yang Sichang was surprised at first, and then turned extremely angry. Mei Zhihuan didn't discuss with him at all, and didn't even inform him, and ran to Sichuan like this. What's this? Is this the Prime Minister of Bandit Suppression or is he under the command of his assistant minister?

"Lawless" Yang Sichang was trembling with anger. He had a premonition when the emperor appointed Mei Zhihuan as prime minister, and he was afraid that he would not get along well next time. But he didn't expect that Mei Zhihuan was so out of line.

"Although Mei Zhihuan is the new Prime Minister of the Bandit Suppression, he is now independent of his actions. He does not report to the governor's office. If he does his own business, how can he coordinate the overall situation?" After hearing the news, the supervisor Wan Ji, who rushed over, said with concern.

Yang Sichang was extremely angry. He didn't care that Mei Zhihuan took away Liu Jun's troops who should have been under his command. Although this also made him angry, what he was even more angry was Mei Zhihuan's attitude of not taking him seriously at all. Mei Zhihuan's actions greatly undermined his prestige. If his generals follow suit in the future, how could he, the supervisor, command the army?

He had a headache when he had a domineering warrior like Zuo Liangyu. But after all, Zuo Liangyu was just a military general, and sometimes he didn't dare to be too arrogant in front of him, the assistant minister holding Shangfang's sword. But Mei Zhihuan was different. Mei Zhihuan had much older qualifications than him. Not only was she an old minister from Jinshi, but she was also the prime minister of bandit suppression, second only to him. If he didn't take himself seriously, things would be difficult to deal with in the future.

"I want to report to Your Majesty to let Your Majesty know Mei Zhihuan's domineering arrogance, to impeach him, and to request the reprimand of his prime minister to be removed." Yang Sichang said as he returned to his desk and began to write the impeachment memorial.

While he wrote down the specific situation here in detail on the memorial, he also hated Liu Jun, whom he had admired very much.

He thought to himself that although this memorial was sent to the imperial court, he might have already suppressed Zhang Xianzhong, but his memorial could also be archived with a verified document, and then he would use it as evidence to drive Mei Zhihuan away. He could not stand such a deputy and could not cooperate.

After writing the memorial to the emperor, Yang Sichang thought about it and wrote a letter to Mei Zhihuan, who transferred Mei Zhihuan and Liu Jun's troops from Kuizhou Prefecture to join him and obeyed the mobilization.

"The thief will definitely not be able to enter Sichuan, but you should still die in Qin's world." Yang Sichang mentioned his pen and wrote down his judgment on the trends of the thieves. "The Prime Minister's entry into Sichuan is not necessary. The most urgent task at the moment is that the Prime Minister leads his troops to Yunyang to join with someone, and they will encircle and destroy the thieves in Yunyang, so that they will not let him rush into Shaanxi again."

After writing a letter and handing it to the servants to send it out, Yang Sichang fell into deep thought. First, there were domineering generals like Zuo Liangyu, and now there is a prime minister like Mei Zhihuan who is doing his own things. He felt exhausted and had a headache. After thinking for a long time, he felt that Mei Zhihuan was even more threatening. If he could not control the situation, the scene would be the worst.

After thinking about it, there seems to be only one way left to change this situation, which is to use a brilliant victory to attack Mei Zhihuan heavily, so that the emperor and the generals can know that Yang Sichang is right.

But in order to win, it would be impossible to predict that the thief Xian would flee to Shaanxi, and he had to block and defeat Zhang Xianzhong or even capture and kill the thief.

To achieve such a goal, it seems that we must now rely on a powerful general like Zuo Liangyu. Although Zuo Liangyu is more domineering, this person is indeed good at fighting.

Yang Sichang picked up the pen again and picked up the pen to write a letter again. This time his letter was written to Zuo Liangyu. In the letter, he praised Zuo Liangyu very much. Then he said that the defeat in Fang County was not his responsibility. Finally, he said that he knew that Zuo Liangyu had lost the General's Seal, so he was ready to ask the emperor to confer the title of General Punishment for Zuo Liangyu, and let the court assist Zuo Liangyu to punish the General Punishment Seal, etc.

"The Pavilion Department is so good at driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf." The staff standing on the side praised him when he saw Yang Sichang win over Zuo Liangyu so much. "Zuo Liangyu is just a martial artist, and he is so appreciated by the Pavilion Department. Wouldn't he work hard for the Pavilion Department to say that Xiong Wencan is also a smart person, but he just couldn't think of this method of the Pavilion Department. If he had won over Zuo Liangyu earlier, maybe the thief would have been wiped out long ago."

"For the sake of the overall situation, I have to do this. Otherwise, I would be so powerful as a mere warrior, why should I win over me in this way?" Yang Sichang sneered and threw down his pen. In his opinion, asking him to lower his posture to win over Zuo Liangyu would be a disgrace.

On the third day of the eighth month, Qi Yiyan woke up early.

In fact, he basically didn't fall asleep last night. He was an authentic loess high slope. The most common ones he had seen in the past were the loess land, which was the most dry in the year, and the dust was already used to it. Later, he became a bandit, broke out outside the pass, and even went to the Central Plains and Jianghuai River to see a wider flat plain and the rivers everywhere.

But he never could not swim, nor did he ride on the huge river boat.

As soon as he got on the river boat, he felt that his feet had no roots and his whole body was unstable. In a moment, he began to feel seasick, vomited, and turned upside down like many of his subordinates.

He was almost dead for a whole day and night.

I woke up in the morning and finally felt better. The sailors on the river boat said that they had been driving for 500 miles. It was unimaginable that they had already sailed for 500 miles a day and night.

I brought a bucket of river water from the river with a bucket. After washing my face, I felt much more refreshed.

The ship where Qi One-eye is located is not small. Although it is not the largest ship in the fleet, his command of a group of five flags and ten teams, a total of one hundred brothers, and a total of forty mules, five vans, and tens of thousands of kilograms of food and supplies were all loaded on the ship.

The wind was strong on the river and it was very cool when it was blowing towards him. After a day of dizziness, he finally got used to the feeling of the boat sailing on the river.

The ship next to them was the ship where their General Manager Si was located, and a trumpet sound came from above.

Although they were on the boat, Qi Yiyan and the others still did not relax and had to learn orders every day. Perhaps their martial arts and combat skills were not very good, but each soldier was quite familiar with orders.

In the Nine-Headed Bird Army, blowing the trumpet is the number one trumpet, and the first time is the number one, which requires people to pack their luggage and prepare meals. The first buzzing sound in the morning is the number of wake-up calls.

Without Qi Yiyan, the five flags of this game were all out of the cabin and on the deck. There were ten teams of the five flags of the baggage camp, but each flag was a car, each with two teams of Zhengqi, and only the surprise team had one fire soldier.

Five fire soldiers carried their own copper pots and carried wooden barrels to the deck and started cooking. Although they were on the boat, they had the coal they carried, which was convenient for cooking.

The boss of the ship on the boat was named Wang, and he walked over with a smile.

"I scattered a few nets in the morning and caught a lot of fish, but they were still fresh. I'll send you a few to stew it."

The fish were all fresh and fat. Qi accepted it with one eye with one eye, and was not polite. "Thank you, Brother Wang."

After chatting for a few words, Wang Chuantou went back. Qi Yiyan handed over a few fresh big fish to the fire soldiers to clean up, and then took the rest of the team members to start morning exercises.

He was on the boat and could no longer perform a routine long-distance running with heavy loads in the morning. Qi Yi took everyone to do push-ups and boxing. Although they were in the baggage battalion, they also had to participate in regular competitions. Those with poor scores would be punished. If the scores did not improve in several competitions, he, the president, may be demoted.

After training for about half an hour, it was already dawn. At this time, the sound of horns came from the next door again. The second time I was to eat and prepare to have fun.

At this time, the five fire soldiers also prepared breakfast for about one hundred people. In this game, in addition to the 100 soldiers of the Five Banners Team 20, he, the 100th General, had five other personal soldiers. These five personal soldiers were responsible for tasks such as guards, supervising military discipline, and sending orders.

The breakfast was big white rice, pickles, and fresh river fish. Because there were fresh fish today, I didn’t take out the dried dried fish. The fish was very fresh and fat, just stewed, but it was quite delicious. Qi Yiyan was very happy to eat it. Before he was twenty years old, he had never even eaten fish. There were no rivers and lakes in his hometown. Fish was a very precious thing, more expensive than meat.

After the meal was finished, Qi Duoyan led his subordinates to continue training. This time the formation was changed to practice, and the baggage battalion had their special tactical formations. These formation tactics were even written by the guerrilla general Liu Jun himself to write a book on the baggage training code. The above detailed decomposition of the baggage training to combat, etc., and compiled into classic examples.

These Scriptures are printed in a book and distributed to each soldier. There are strict requirements at ordinary times. Each soldier requires memorizing all the content within three months. He usually has to memorize at least two pieces every day. He is one-eyed and illiterate. It is very difficult to memorize this Scripture, but he has to learn it or not. Someone has specially checked and scored it. If he can't memorize it, he will be deducted points. If he loses too much, he will be fined. If he fails the rating many times, he will be demoted.

Among Qi One-eyed's personal soldiers, one of them had studied books, so he also served as a literacy position in the bureau, and was usually responsible for teaching Qi One-eyed and others to learn calligraphy.

Although Qi Duoyan hates learning to recognize words and memorize the slogan, he has to admit that with this slogan in hand, he feels that practicing is really much easier. As long as he practices step by step, it is enough.

Today, Qi Duyan and his subordinates trained five chariots of baggage troops to form a formation to defend the enemy formation.

This square formation consists of five cars in a game. Once the enemy encounters, the formation will be formed quickly. The four cars are each arranged on one side, and the carriage is facing the outside with the wings of the carriage, and then another car is erected in the middle.

After the chariot formation was set up, the mules surrounded the chariot formation, and the chariots set up Folang machines, and the chariots drove guns to bombard the enemy, while the chariots stood between the chariots with the mandarin duck formation to protect the baggage and the chariots. When the enemy was at a hundred steps, the chariots lined up horizontally with muskets to attack the enemy. When the thief reached within thirty steps, the chariots would put down their muskets, change their swords, cards, hooks and guns and other cold weapons turned into vertical formations of mandarin duck formations to attack the enemy.

The two teams on the fifth car are reserves for the entire flag, and they can supplement the damage of each car at any time to maintain the battle formation.

The formation tactics are not complicated, but it is not so easy to make the battle formations trained by more than 100 new recruits in the Five Flags. Qi Duyan has to spend half a day practicing this battle formation tactics every day, coming and going, and repeatedly. In Liu Jun's words, it is to form a conditioned reflex for all the soldiers to practice, and deeply engrave all the tactical steps of the battle formation in their minds.

"Bee" Qi single-eyed blew the iron whistle in his mouth, and the "formation" will not be continued.
