Shi Kefa was the governor of the grain transportation and the governor of Jiangbei. His ranks were the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Liu Jun was the general of Huguang and the general of Hubei. He also had the ranks of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy imperial envoy. Even the ranks of the Censorate were higher than Shi Kefa. Liu Jun was fully qualified to be on par with Shi Kefa.

"The last general of Feng Si general Mou Wenshou, pay a visit to Liu Junmen!"

Mou Wenshou was a powerful general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He was only in his early forties at this time and was in his prime. He had a rich resume. He was from Lichuan, his hometown in Huguang, and his family was the chieftain of Shizhou. Later, he participated in the quelling of the rebellion of Sichuan, Gui'an, and defended Guiyang, and was appointed as the general of the general. In the early Chongzhen period, the Kong Youde rebelled in the rebellion, and then led his troops to participate in the quelling of the rebellion. Later, he stationed in Gubeikou and had been on a mission to Korea. After returning to the country, he was ordered to support Fengyang and recapture Fengyang with various official troops. Later, he was promoted to the General of Fengsi and guarded all parts of Jiangbei.

However, although they were both generals, Mou Wenshou did not have the title of a minister and the position of a governor, so he had to worship the ceremony in front of Liu Jun, who was holding the title of admiral.

"When you have to go to the town of Mou, Liu is frightened."

Liu Jun smiled and stepped forward to support Mou Wenshou. If he asked Mou Wenshou to bow down, he would be afraid that the officials and generals in Jiangbei would have any objections to him.

When Mou Wenshou saw Liu Jun so polite, he was very happy and personally introduced two deputy generals under him to Liu Jun.

"Luzhou Deputy General Huang Degong, and Xuzhou Deputy General Liu Liangzuo. Both of these wars are very brave, and they are under Mou's command."

Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo came forward to worship, and Liu Jun also smiled and helped them up one by one. He looked at the two of them carefully. They were both young and tall. Huang Degong had a big blushing face and a rosacea. He was still smelling of alcohol on his body. He looked like a man who loved wine.

"Marty, Huang Degong loves wine. Every time he goes to battle, he has to drink a few sips. After drinking, he is brave and crazy, so he is called Huang Chuangzi in the army. This Liu Liangzuo doesn't love wine but only loves horses. His favorite is a big flower horse. His treasure is like his own woman, so he is called Huama Liu." The person who spoke was Zhu Dadian. These people were originally his subordinates, especially Liu Liangzuo, who was brought back to Jiangbei after the quellion in Shandong.

Liu Jun always felt familiar when he heard these names. After thinking about it for a long time, he remembered it. Zhu Dadian, Shi Kefa, Huang Degong, and Liu Liangzuo, aren’t these people all the most popular figures in the Southern Ming Dynasty? Shi Kefa was the Minister of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo seem to be the second of the four towns in Jiangbei in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Shi Kefa was praised as a national hero in later generations, and was known as Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang. He had a deep impression of it. Even Huang Degong and Liu Jun, who were related to Shi Kefa, remembered some of them.

However, he had no impression of General Mou Wenshou.

Unexpectedly, he met several of these Nanming storms today, and all of them even paid a visit to him.

Mou Wenshou and Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo looked at Liu Jun's soldiers and sighed, "Good soldiers, powerful troops."

Liu Jun followed them into Anqing City, and Shi Kefa also asked the nine-headed bird to enter the city. Liu Jun refused, "They just choose an empty place outside the city to camp, and they will not enter the city to gather people."

"The army commanded by the Marquis is the true king." Shi Kefa was moved and praised.

"It's just the duty of military service." Liu Jun had long been accustomed to the Ming officials' amazement at the military discipline of the Nine-headed bird, "Why is Shi Futai in Anqing?"

Shi Kefa also rode a horse and walked next to Liu Jun. Hearing this, he said, "I came to Anqing, which is also the intention of the second governor of Mei and Li. The two governors planned to suppress the bandits this time, and to implement a joint attack and encirclement and suppression from both sides of the north and south. The two governors were responsible for the soldiers of the north and south, and the soldiers of the south and south were responsible for the suppression from north to south. The soldiers of the south and south were suppressed from south to north, and finally wiped out the bandits in one fell swoop!"

"Both governors believed in trusting the admiral and handed over the west side of the Dabie Mountains to the admiral's Qi Huang troops and the Qi Huang joint defense militia. We can only attack the north and south."

Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng's plan is very clear, and they are attacked from north to south.

In terms of military force arrangement, Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng led 40,000 troops, while Liu Jun's south was also 40,000, of which Liu Jun's nine-headed birds were 20,000, and the other 20,000 were Shi Kefa and Mou Wenshou each.

The 80,000 army sounds scary. Of course, in fact, Liu Jun didn't really believe in the 60,000 army in Jiangbei. There must be a lot of moisture in it. After entering the city, he secretly looked at the officers and soldiers he saw on the road and found that most of them were old-fashioned troops, poorly equipped, poorly trained, and average military discipline. Both the old and the weak had troops.

He was also very sure that these soldiers must have a lot of conventional vacancy. If it was a conventional vacancy of 30% or 40% of the vacancy, then 60,000 might only be about 40,000. Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng moved to Jiangbei to reorganize the army after the Sichuan Battle, but it was difficult to achieve the effect in such a short time. It would be nice to be able to sort out the various troops in Jiangbei in such a short time. As for laying off the old and weak, replacing equipment, etc., it would be difficult to do it for a while.

However, Mei and Li also had more than 10,000 model soldiers brought back from Sichuan, so there was no need to worry too much about them.

"Have you figured out the details of the Fifth Camp of the Gleath Zuo now? How many thieves and bandits are there? How to arrange them specifically?"

As soon as he arrived at the Anqing Prefectural Office, Liu Jun asked in a hurry.

The answer was Huang Degong, who was the deputy general stationed in Luzhou. The Fifth Battalion of the G Zuo was within his defense zone, and no one knew the situation of the bandits better than them.

"The Fifth Camp of the Gezuo has been entrenched in the Yinghuo Mountain District for two years. During this period, it has been pretending to recruit people to delay time, secretly recruit soldiers and horses, and cultivate land and open up land. Since Zhang Xianzhong rebelled this year, the Fifth Camp of the Gezuo has also secretly interacted with it, and later gathered to the west to attack Qihuang, Huguang. After being repelled, they began to attack surrounding areas such as Guangzhou, Henan."

"The Fifth Camp of the Gzuo has about twenty camps, with about fifty or sixty thousand troops."

"Fifty or sixty thousand." Liu Jun chuckled a few times, "I'm afraid I'll count the old, weak, women and children. How many people are there in the elite old thief's camp and how many horses are there?"

"There are probably about 20,000 old thieves and more than 10,000 horse soldiers."

"Does the Five Battalions garrison separately or guard together?"

"The bandits in the five camps are entrenched in the mountainous areas of Yingshan and Huoshan between Luzhou Prefecture and Anqing Prefecture. They are stationed in each mountain, but they are connected with each other."

I have to say that the fifth camp of the Lezuo was still very low-key before. They were entrenched in the mountainous areas between Luzhou and Anqing Prefectures, close to the Dabie Mountains, between Huguang, Henan and Nanzhili Provinces. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers, they did not occupy the city and only guarded the mountains.

These bandits understand the psychology of the officials very well. If they do not attack the city, the officials will not fight to suppress them. Then they will send people to bribe the officials from time to time and make plans to recruit surrender, and the lured officials and generals are even more unwilling to suppress them.

If it weren't for Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion, the Fifth Battalion of the Left launched a large number of troops to invade Qihuang, Huguang and Guangzhou, Henan, and other places, which made even the emperor know that the bandits of the Five Battalion were powerful, and they were afraid that these people would continue to hang out in Yinghuoshan District like this.

"Only by knowing one's own knowledge of the enemy can we win every battle. I thought that we should first choose the delegation to stop taking it at night, sneak into Yinghuo Mountain area, and find out the thief's reality and reality clearly. Then we will directly attack the thief's cave and make achievements in one fell swoop." Liu Jun made a suggestion.

At this time, the Anqing Prefectural Office had already been used as a temporary military conference hall for the army.

The governor of Jiangbei, Shi Kefa, general of Fengsi, general of Fengsi, Lu Jiude, deputy generals Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and various officials and prefects gathered together. Many officials and generals who came from afar also discussed matters together.

In the department, there are three eunuchs, two governors, two generals, and many deputy generals and generals. There are so many officials and generals together, and there are many troubles in the first place. Who is the chief general?

Logically, if the civil officials are commanded by the general commander of the civil servants and the guest army obeys the home court, then the governor of Jiangbei should be commanded by Shi Kefa, the governor of the grain transportation, but Liu Jun's official title is higher than Shi Kefa, and Zhu Dadian is still Shi Kefa's predecessor. What's more serious is that Lu Jiude supervises the soldiers and horses of Jiangbei, and this eunuch is also a wise soldier. He has commanded the soldiers and horses of various towns many times to defeat many bandit leaders, and has a great prestige in the army.

Lu Jiude wanted to command the bandit suppression and horses in the south.

Liu Jun also wanted to command the bandit suppression troops in the south. It was not that he was greedy for power, but that he did not trust others, especially Lu Jiude and Shi Kefa. One was an eunuch and the other was a civil official.

Zhu Dadian looked at the strange people and suddenly said with a smile, "The two soldiers and horses in Jiangbei and Hubei still need unified command and dispatch. Zhennan Hou is young and promising, and has the ability to command the troops. He is also His Majesty's new admiral of Huguang. I thought that this time, Liu Junmen should be the commander of the two soldiers and horses in Jiangbei and Hubei."

As soon as these words were said, they were like stabbing a hornet's nest. It was good that Liu Jun had a high official title, but he was also a military official. In such a war, how could a general lead the troops? Wouldn't it be a mess?

At this time, Wang Kun also spoke.

"Marquis Zhennan is wearing the seal of the general of the bandits. Your Majesty has long issued an order. General Mei of the army commands to suppress the bandits and horses, while General Li of the six southeastern provinces were responsible for suppressing bandits and horses. General Liu of the six southeastern provinces was the leader of the bandits and generals, and President of the generals. Now Mei of the two governors are in Fengyang, so the bandits and horses in Anqing will naturally be led by General Liu of the Liu army."

Lu Jiude snorted coldly, "With the governor here, it's the general's turn to command the troops!"

"The Marquis of Zhennan is not only the general, he is also the admiral of Hubei and Hunan, and the general of the bandit!" Lu Weining also said.

The three eunuchs started arguing about whether Liu Jun was qualified to lead the troops. After Zhu Dadian started a fire, he sat on the side and laughed leisurely, very satisfied.

Shi Kefa sat there a little embarrassedly. All three eunuchs had the power to supervise, and they were usually superior to the governor. Now that they fought, he didn't know how to persuade them.

"It is better to divide the troops into two groups, the Hubei army attacks Yingshan, and the Jiangbei army attacks Huoshan." Shi Kefa put forward a compromise opinion.
