After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Shen Qingjun's army has been marching for 25 days after leaving Liugu County.

It was noon, the weather was hot, so we set up camp to rest.

The most important thing after setting up camp is to bury the pot and cook. Of course, cooking is usually the responsibility of the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands. Each battalion of Shen Qingjun's army has specially set up a team of cooks.
After a while, smoke rose from the northwest corner of the camp, and the aroma of rice and wheat began to spread...

The leaders of each department went to the camp one after another to take the meals to their respective tents.
According to the military system of the Wei Dynasty, a five-man corps has a captain, and a ten-man corps has a commander. The corps is the smallest combat unit, but why does the commander receive the meal?Because these ten people live in the same tent.

Shen Qingjun's camp at this time was still thirty miles away from Xihe County, and there was no smoke. Liu Jinguang's bandit army did not have the habit of sending scouts, so they could live and cook.

The distance of thirty miles is only one day if we march normally. Even if we march in the morning and evening, it only takes two days at most to reach Sihe County.

In the coach's tent, Shen Qingjun was preparing to eat when he heard footsteps coming from outside the tent. From the sound, it should be Wei Wen's footsteps.

After a while, footsteps came closer and closer, and sure enough, Wei Wen walked in with her eyes red and her mouth closed.

When she saw Shen Qingjun, she raised her hand casually, which was regarded as meeting Li.

Shen Qingjun didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Wenwen came just in time, and my food was just on the table. How about we eat some together?"

Just looking at Shen Qingjun's desk, there was only a bowl of corn rice and a dish of wild vegetable soup, which were the same as the soldiers' food.

"I won't eat with you! There is no sincerity at all. Besides, your meal is not enough for two people. I don't know why you have to eat the same as the soldiers!" Wei Wen didn't understand.

Wei Wen's words reminded Shen Qingjun of when she was a child and saw the book of war that read "The soldiers will eat together". She also asked Shen's father out of curiosity, and Shen's father explained to her like this:

“The way to lead an army is to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, and to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The former must be respected by the soldiers, and the latter must be loved by the soldiers!
As a father, I do not advocate that generals and soldiers live and eat together, because only if the generals eat well and use them well can the soldiers be successful!If the top soldiers see that the generals eat and use the same food as they do, then they will think, 'What do I do if I fight hard to kill the enemy and make contributions? Even if I become a general, the treatment will be the same as if I were a top soldier, that is. It’s easy to slack off and lose initiative! 'So in normal times, generals and coaches must have better food and accommodation than their subordinates.

But in wartime, generals have to eat the same food as soldiers. "This is Shen Pingnan's way of being a commander, and it is also the way he taught Shen Qingjun.

"It's different in peacetime, but it's the same in wartime. Isn't this just a show?" This was Shen Qingjun's question at the time.

"Eating together with the soldiers during the war is not just for show, but for the generals, generals and soldiers to eat together. By doing this, if the general is hungry, he will know that the soldiers are hungry, and they will know when to set up camp and bury the stove for cooking. When the general is tired, If you are tired, you will know that the soldiers are tired, and you will know when to call in the troops."

Shen Qingjun did not explain to Wei Wen more. It was not because she was stingy, but because Wei Wen's father was also a Duke. Naturally, the Duke of Wei also had his own unique way of commanding troops. Wei Wen also learned his own way of commanding troops. Friends seek common ground while shelving differences. That’s fine, don’t ask others to do everything the same as you.

Seeing that Shen Qingjun really had no intention of apologizing, Wei Wen pouted her lips, walked to the bench beside her and sat down, and said angrily:

"And please ask Commander Shen to call me Commander Wei, and how can I, a small commander, eat with the Commander-in-Chief." "What's wrong, Wenwen, are you still angry?" Shen Qingjun stood up and walked to Wei Wen's side. ,

"Please call me Commander Wei, Governor Shen!"

"Okay, Wei Dutong. But I, the Commander-in-Chief Shen, have been unjustly accused. Wei Dutong, can you please listen to me, the Commander-in-Chief Shen who has been wronged, explain it to me?" Shen Qingjun coaxed Wei Wen.

"Explain, what are you trying to explain? I only know that Governor Shen, the commander-in-chief of Shen Dynasty, decided on the military strategy of 'catching turtles in the urn and catching them all' at the last military meeting. In order to support her decision, the poor Governor of Wei took the initiative to ask for military orders. I wanted to go to Sihe County to be a pioneer, but I was flatly rejected by Governor Shen." Wei Wen said aggrievedly, and she also called Shen Qingjun as Governor Shen in private, which showed the deep resentment.

Shen Qingjun smiled after hearing this and walked to Wei Wen's right side again. As soon as he put his hand on her shoulder, Wei Wen brushed it off.
"Wenwen, haven't I explained to you that you are not suitable to be a pioneer in Sihe County!" Shen Qingjun said softly.

"Then Governor Shen, tell me carefully why you didn't let me lead the troops to Sihe County? Why did you favor one over the other? Instead, you let Gao Lingying and Liu He go. Could it be that you don't trust me?"

It turned out that during the military meeting during the rest period of Liugu County, Shen Qingjun decided on the strategy of "catching turtles in the jar and catching them all in one fell swoop" against Liu Jinguang.

But Liu Jinguang was a wandering bandit. He couldn't stay in one place for long before he would wander around again, making it difficult for the army to surround him. Therefore, the key to this method was to drag Liu Jinguang in one place and prevent him from escaping again.

So Shen Qingjun chose Sihe County as Liu Jinguang's burial ground among thousands of people. Why did Shen Qingjun choose Sihe County as Liu Jinguang's burial ground?
Sihe County, as you can tell from its name, there are four rivers in this county. Of course, this is nonsense.

But by chance, these four rivers happened to wrap Sihe County into a semicircle, and the gap happened to be blocked by a small mountain range.

There is only one pipeline in the entire county that leads to the outside world. Such terrain provides convenience for Shen Qingjun to block the movement of the bandits.

Therefore, the task of holding back Liu Jinguang's bandit army has become crucial. This is the prerequisite for the success of all plans.

Because when Shen Qingjun decided on this military strategy in Liugu County, news came that Liu Jinguang's bandit army had already begun to march towards Sihe County. It would take less than ten days to reach Sihe County.

It usually takes three to five days for the rebel army to break into a county town, and it takes about eight to ten days to leave after destroying a county town.In other words, within 24-[-] days at most, Liu Jinguang's bandit army will leave Sihe County.

It will take more than a month for the army to set off from Liugu County to Sihe County, and this time cannot be shortened.

Because it is already June, the dog days, and it is impossible for Shen Qingjun to march in a hurry in the weather where the sun is roasting people alive. And in order to reduce the casualties during the march, it is best to march in the morning and evening!

Therefore, the gap of nearly ten days between the time Liu Jinguang's bandit army arrived in Sihe County and the arrival of the army in Sihe County required external force to make up for it!

In other words, Shen Qingjun needs to send people to Sihe County to hold back Liu Jinguang's bandit army. Of course, it is best if he doesn't attack the county!
