Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei understood the identity of the old man, but he was very calm and clear. The old man is the old man, and he is him, so they cannot be generalized.Zhang Yan can ask the old man to be the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army, but it is absolutely impossible for the old man to submit to him because of his status, nor is it possible for him to be the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army.Therefore, Wang Lei never mentioned the word of submission, and only mentioned the matter of "cooperation" when he came up. This can arouse Zhang Yan's interest, and it can also give Wang Lei the right to speak, otherwise he would not be able to speak at all.

The old man looked at Wang Lei with a smile and nodded slightly.

This kid is a sensible person.

Zhang Yan chuckled twice, and said flatly: "Wang County Magistrate said cooperation, I'm a little curious. Wang County Magistrate is an official, and I, Zhang Yan, are a well-known gangster. You represent the court, and What I represent is to overthrow the imperial court, and the positions are different, it is a situation of incompatibility, how can we cooperate?"

"Ha ha……"

Wang Lei laughed and shook his head one after another.

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Could it be that County Magistrate Wang disagrees with my statement."

Bai Rao snorted, and said in a blunt tone: "Magistrate Wang speaks directly, fart as soon as he has something to say, and don't play tricks. Your way of commanding people is disgusting."

Wang Lei was not angry, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Marshal Zhang is a general who has been conferred by the emperor in peace, and he has already surrendered to the court. That being the case, Marshal Zhang is not the former Taiping Army. Even if he is called the Black Mountain Army, then The Black Mountain Army, which is also the imperial court, how can they be treated as they used to be? Both parties are members of the imperial court, so there is naturally room for cooperation."

With a faint smile on his face, he gave people inexplicable confidence.

"What a young man!"

Zhang Yan sighed in admiration and said, "Really, you have a junior who can speak eloquently!"

The old man's face was bright, he stroked his beard, and quickly shook his head and said: "Shuai Zhang is absurd, this ineffective thing is still far behind. There are only a few hundred soldiers under his command, and only one or two advisers. Compared with the layout of Marshal Zhang, it is not as good as it is." too far."

Zhang Yan heard this, but felt that there was something in the words, and she was not humble at all!

Hundreds of people defeated him by tens of thousands. Is this an ordinary record?Zhang Yan turned her gaze, then returned to Wang Lei, and said lightly, "Since the county magistrate Wang said cooperation, let's talk about the method of cooperation."

Wang Lei replied: "It's very simple. I help Zhang Shuai deal with his worries and solve the most difficult problems. And Zhang Dashuai ensures that Wuji County and Xinshi County will no longer be looted. When I need it, Zhang Shuai will send troops to help me."

"Oh... County Magistrate Wang really dared to mention it, the lion opened his mouth, it's just like you."

He smiled coldly and didn't give a good face.

It is impossible for Zhang Yan to open the back door because of Wang Lei's status as the old man's junior when it comes to the business of the Black Mountain Army.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Montenegrin Army, and he must consider the interests of the Montenegro Army.

Wang Lei chuckled twice, shook his head and said: "What I said was not a lion's mouth at all. On the contrary, I chose the conditions that were not good for me, and the conditions I offered were the most beneficial to Zhang Shuai and the Black Mountain Army. "

"sophistry!"

Zhang Yan showed displeasure and disdain.

Wang Lei said lightly: "Zhang Shuai doesn't believe it, so I will analyze it for Zhang Shuai!"

"All ears!" Zhang Yan said.

Wang Lei took a deep breath and said slowly: "The so-called worries about the future are actually a problem with the foundation of the Black Mountain Army. The Black Mountain Army gathers people in mountains and forests, with Zhongshan, Changshan, Shangdang, Hebei and other places as their foundations, and they are known as millions. The number may be There are not so many, but I believe there are tens of thousands of people. Among these tens of thousands of people, the elderly, weak, women and children must account for the majority. The number of soldiers who really belong to the army should be less than 10%, and the elite among the elite, I am afraid Less than 10 people, I don’t know if I’m right?”

Zhang Yan snorted, but did not answer directly.

Wang Lei had a smile on his face, but Zhang Yan objected vaguely, so his deduction was correct.

After a short pause, Wang Lei continued: "For the Black Mountain Army, success is also a mountain forest, and defeat is also a mountain forest. In the past, the Taiping Army failed to gather a crowd to resist the imperial court. After being encircled and suppressed, the reason why they were able to survive was the use of a large number of valley terrains in Hebei, Shangdang and other places, which made it difficult for the government to encircle and suppress them, so they were able to gather millions of people and escape the pursuit of the government. But countless old and weak women and children and countless Soldiers have to eat, so can they survive hunting wild game and eating wild fruits in the mountains? Even if good fields are reclaimed in the mountains, they cannot support tens of thousands of people, and it is difficult to solve the fundamental problem. Therefore, because of the gathering of people in the mountains and forests, It has become the biggest threat to the Black Mountain Army."

Zhang Yan nodded slightly, and looked at Wang Lei without contempt anymore.

These words hit the black mountain army's weakness.

He is not easy to kill, nor does he really want to loot everywhere all the time.The reason why they often lead troops to plunder is because the Black Mountain Army has millions of people, and countless people want to fill their stomachs and survive.And he had no choice but to lead his soldiers to loot around to ensure that the Black Mountain Army could survive. Once the Black Mountain Army collapsed internally, he would lose the foundation of his foothold.

Bai Rao looked serious and sat up straight.

The old man's eyes were full of splendor, and he was very relieved in his heart. This kid has really grown up.

Wang Lei became more calm, and said calmly: "The old saying is that it is better to be blocked than to be sparse. The river flows continuously, and it cannot be blocked. Even if it is temporarily blocked, there will always be a day when it will explode. At that time, what will happen is No matter how difficult it is to stop the torrential flood. This is the situation encountered by the Black Mountain Army at this time. On the surface, millions of people are gathered, the momentum is magnificent, and the scenery looks infinite, but the city wall has no foundation, and it will collapse sooner or later. Once the problem reaches the point where it is difficult to control , it will completely explode, and Zhang Shuai will also face the greatest difficulty."

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and asked, "What solution does County Magistrate Wang have?"

"On the road!"

Wang Lei was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He was waiting for this moment.

At this time, it was Wang Lei's chance to persuade Zhang Yan.Wang Lei looked serious, and said: "It is better to block than to avoid. To solve the problem of the Black Mountain Army fundamentally, it is actually to solve the problem of the old, weak, women and children of the Black Mountain Army. Let them eat enough, and the problem will be solved immediately. Zhang Shuai, look at what I control. How about Ji County and Xinshi County?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yan asked.

Wang Lei waved his sleeve and said: "Zhang Shuai can gradually move the old and weak women and children of the Black Mountain Army out of the mountains and let them settle down in Wuji County and Xinshi County. As long as they are willing to reclaim farmland and make a living by farming, it is enough to guarantee Their livelihood. In this way, Zhang Shuai is no longer in danger of being restrained, and his combat effectiveness is even stronger."

Zhang Yan sneered and said, "Why didn't I choose to capture Wuji County and Xinshi County?"

"what!"

With a sneer, Wang Lei shouted, "Stupid!"

Zhang Yan had a straight face, very unhappy.He is a great commander of the Black Mountain Army, but he was reprimanded by Wang Lei, a small county magistrate, which is a great shame.But when he thought that his suggestion was rejected, there must be something wrong, and his arrogance went out again.
