After meeting with Wang Ruohai in Tangzhou, Xie Linong set off for Caizhou. In the evening, he settled at the post house. He had just dismounted and before he had time to speak to the postmaster who greeted him, a fast horse galloped from behind.

The knight immediately turned over and fell off his horse, crossed his hands and said: "Zhenfu Jun ordered, Xie Zhizhou returns to Tangzhou immediately!"

After Xie Linong received the military order, he couldn't help but be filled with doubts. He had just left Tangzhou this morning, why was he called back for some urgent matter? He did not dare to neglect, so he immediately got on his horse and returned to Tangzhou that night. Just after midnight when he arrived in Tangzhou, he called for the city gate to be opened, and Xie Linong was urgent.

Return to Yamen.

Entering the government office, he saw that Wang Xiaolie had not rested yet, and the lights in the official hall were brightly lit. Xie Linong entered the official hall and saluted Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Sit down. After you left Tangzhou, two major things happened, so I called you back for discussion."

Xie Linong sat down. Wang Xiaoxian said: "I just got a report from the detective, Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor in Daming Mansion. Also, Ruzhou came to report that a murder occurred in Beiwu Town last night, and Dong Ping's family was killed."

Xie Linong was stunned and said: "It's not surprising that Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor. The Jin people have already canonized him, and they are just waiting for him to choose an auspicious day. Who did Dong Ping be killed? There are really people nearby who are stronger than Dong Ping.

I can’t think of it.”

Wang Xiaoxue said: "It's Feng Hui. He was originally a commander in the army. He raped someone and escaped from the army a few months ago. According to the Ruzhou newspaper, hundreds of people are now gathered around Feng Hui. Dong Ping is one

It is normal for a local tycoon to be killed in one blow when faced with hundreds of deserters."

Feng Hui was originally defeated by the Forbidden Army, and after joining Wang Xiaolie, he had been stationed near Dengzhou. Xie Linong was not familiar with it. When asked about his basic situation, Xie Linong said: "From Feng Hui, we can see that the defeat of the Forbidden Army is not credible!"

We in the army must be more careful from now on!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Feng Hui's men also have our newly recruited soldiers. Those who have made meritorious service on the front line also have the defeated soldiers of the Forbidden Army. You cannot deny a group of people based on the performance of one person. - There is no need to discuss this matter.

I asked you to come back to discuss how to deal with Feng Hui."

Wang Ruohai said: "I was ordered to occupy Yancheng a few days ago. Beiwu Town is not far from Yancheng, so we might as well send troops to occupy it. Including other places in Wuyang County originally occupied by Dong Ping, we can send troops to occupy it together."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Beiwu Town occupied by Dong Ping was originally on the north bank of the Ru River. It was originally planned that the army could not cross the river. Once it crossed the river, the army's deployment would be a lot of trouble. Recently, there have been a series of major cases on the north bank of the Ru River. It seems that even if the army

However, the Ru River cannot be left alone. From now on, Caizhou and Zhang Jun will control the area within dozens of miles across the Ru River. Xie Zhizhou, if you don't send a large army, can you deal with Feng Hui?"

Xie Linong thought for a while before crossing his hands and saying: "The general thinks that if Zhang Jun can lead five hundred soldiers, he will definitely be able to deal with Feng Hui!"

Wang Xiaoxue said: "The fire captured Dong Ping, and most of Dong Ping's men defected to Feng Hui. Now he may have as many as a thousand men. When Zhang Jun went to Chenzhou, he took more than a thousand men with him. His

People are scattered all over the place, and the manpower that can be brought to Beiwu Town is only six to seven hundred at most. To deal with Feng Hui, we must plan carefully to avoid trouble."

Although Wang Xiaolie's tone was gentle, his eyes were fixed on Xie Linong. Xie Linong was so frightened by the sight that he gritted his teeth and crossed his hands and said: "General, I would like to issue a military order! If we go to Caizhou, Feng Hui will be destroyed within a month!"

"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "I don't want your military order. I am not a fool, your colleagues are not fools, and your subordinates are not fools either. After you arrive in Caizhou, everyone can see whether you have tried your best and how well you have done.

Understand. I have spoken up front. If you do well, you will be promoted and have a bright future. If you do not do well, just accept your fate. Don't say that I have forgotten you."

Seeing Wang Xiaolie's serious attitude, Xie Linong hurriedly crossed his hands and said yes.

Wang Ruohai said: "There are currently two thousand troops in Yancheng. We can order them to monitor Feng Hui. If something happens to Zhang Jun, we will send out the army!"

Wang Xiaolie turned to look at Xie Linong and said, "How about it? The troops and horses in Yancheng are under your control. Please arrange them properly."

The Xie Li Nong Cha hand is said to be.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Liu Yu will definitely come to fight for the Central Plains if he becomes emperor. The Jin army has already occupied the capital city of Kaifeng. Liu Yu will not let go of Chenzhou, Yingchang, Zhengzhou, Yingzhou and other places. He will firmly occupy Caizhou.

At the same time, we have to control the other side of the Ru River for dozens of miles, which is not easy."

Xie Li Nong said: "Zhang Jun only has more than a thousand men, which is still too few. The task is heavy, and he should be given more troops."

Wang Xiaolie said: "In principle, when building a guerrilla zone, Zhang Jun's troops should be divided into two parts. One part will guerrilla in various places and recruit local forces at the same time. The other part will be gathered in reliable stations as a mobile force to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

Things. How many people do you think Zhang Jun needs as a mobile force? How many people are scattered in various places?"

Xie Linong said: "I haven't arrived in Caizhou yet, so I'm a little unsure at the moment. However, from what I learned from Counselor Wang, it's best to have at least five hundred people in the mobile force. We'll see how many people are needed in each place. We'll have to go to Caizhou to see.

"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "Five hundred people is a lot. Now around Chenzhou, except for us, there is no army of five hundred people for hundreds of miles. Peng Jin of Xihua originally claimed to have 1,500 people, but in fact he did not have 500 people."

There are absolutely no five hundred on the battlefield! Well, if you ask, I will give you five hundred. These guerrilla troops in enemy areas are different from the regular army and need to be selected from the army."

To engage in guerrilla warfare in enemy territory, one must not only have strong military capabilities, but more importantly, political ideology must also be strong. Just because one is in enemy territory, one cannot lose discipline and act lawlessly. Orders from the rear must be absolutely carried out without discounting.

Wang Ruohai said: "Zhang Jun fights bravely and is vigorous and resolute in his work. However, his temperament has always been flamboyant and he does not like to be persuaded. He is not a very strict and self-disciplined person, so it is not easy to be assigned to his subordinates."

After hearing this, Xie Linong narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing. He had known Zhang Jun for several years, so of course he knew what his temper was like. However, Xie Linong was confident, and Zhang Jun did not have the courage to use these methods in front of him.

Wang Xiaolie looked at Xie Linong and said: "How to do this will be done after Xie Zhizhou arrives in Caizhou. Let's do this. Don't be too hasty. I will give you two months to completely control the forces within twenty miles on the other side of the Ru River.

Cleared. After this, if Peng Jinyuan does not vote for Liu Yu or do evil things, he will be allowed to continue his smuggling business in Xihua."

Xie Linong was stunned: "After we have solved Feng Hui, why not take out Peng Jinyuan together!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "It is inconvenient for us to be too stiff with Liu Yu at the moment. It would be good for both parties to have Peng Jin in the middle. If Liu Yu attacks by force, it will be another matter."

Wang Ruohai said: "After Liu Yu becomes emperor, he will definitely come to seize the Central Plains. I'm afraid there is no way to avoid this."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Of course we can't hide. It's September now. I estimate that Liu Yu will not be able to launch a large-scale war when he first ascends the throne this year. By next year, facing our tens of thousands of troops, it will be a matter of whether you dare to move or not.

Two words. We cannot waste these two years."

Wang Ruohai didn't speak. Although he had seen the speed of Wang Xiaolie's army expansion in the past few years, he always believed that it was very difficult to expand the army because the territory was certain. He should take advantage of the current vacuum of power in the Central Plains and try his best to expand. Wait until Liu Yu pressed
