The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165 Chapter 165
The two strategies that Zhang Yan presented to Liu Yao were the result of his thinking.

The first strategy is to let the generals under Zhang Yan's account be responsible for training Liu Yao's army.

The second strategy presented by Zhang Yan was to let Liu Yao recruit Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and other thieves in the name of the state governor, and let them conquer Sun Ce with high officials and generous salary. and appointed them as officials.

After hearing this, Liu Yao agreed with Zhang Yan's first strategy, but opposed the second strategy.

In his heart, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others are out-and-out thieves who commit all kinds of crimes, such as looting houses, burning and looting.

Two years ago, Liu Yao had conquered the bandits Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji.Seeing that Liu Yao was powerful, Yan Baihu surrendered without a fight.

For Liu Yao, the people led by Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji were all mobs, not enough to fight against Sun Ce, nor worthy of his appeasement.

Regarding Liu Yao's opinion, Zhang Yan did not dare to agree, and said to Liu Yao: "Now Sun Ce has shown his sharpness. Although Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others are all a group of mobs, they can gather together to form a large number. What's more, these thieves and bandits each occupy the top of the mountain and are not subordinate to each other. They are criss-crossing among the mountains. Lang, Jiao Ji and others, and then resorted to the strategy of borrowing swords to kill Sun Ce, and let them attack Sun Ce, and when they are both defeated, our army will attack again, and we will surely be able to put Sun Ce down in one battle!"

Liu Yao said: "That's the case, but these thieves often rob houses, burn, kill, and loot. If they are recruited, even if they can be used to drive away the tiger Sun Ce, they will also attract a pack of vicious wolves. I am worried about the bad habits of these thieves. If you don’t change it, you will harm the local people, and the gains will outweigh the losses!”

Regarding Zhang Yan's strategy, Liu Yao also knew that it was a very good strategy, so that he would not have to lose troops or generals.But he also knows the temperament of these thieves. If they surrender today, they will rebel again tomorrow, capricious.Moreover, these thieves do not have a unified leader. Even the three larger Zongshuai, Yan Baihu, Zulang, and Jiao Jize, were only announced publicly. Under these three people, there are many big and small bosses. Everyone is fighting for their own interests.

During these years when Liu Yao was the governor of Yangzhou, he often dealt with these thieves who were united with Shanyue, so he knew the living habits of these thieves very well, and he didn't even bother to use these thieves, and it was impossible to use them.

In fact, Zhang Yan is also very clear about the repetition of these thieves.But in his view, everything has two sides, what Zhang Yan likes is the capricious habits of these thieves.

Compared with Sun Ce's army, the combat ability of the thieves will definitely appear a little lower. Therefore, when the thieves are driven to attack Sun Ce's army, the thieves army is not an opponent at all with the bravery of Sun Ce's army. Surrender to Sun Ce.

If there are more thieves who surrender, the greater the instability of Sun Ce's army will be. As long as we make good use of them, we may be able to use these thieves to mess up Sun Ce's army.

It was for this reason that Zhang Yan chose to appease the thieves, and Xu Yi was a high-ranking official with a generous salary. He knew that he could not fight against Sun Ce, but he still wanted to do it.

Unfortunately, Liu Yao didn't think so.Liu Yao thought that once he appeases the thieves, it is tantamount to leading wolves into the house.Sun Ce treated the occupied city without any offense to Minqiu. If thieves were to come, once greedy, they would loot the entire city, which would scare the people and hurt them.

Therefore, Liu Yao would rather confront Sun Ce alone than recruit these thieves.

Seeing Liu Yao's resolute attitude, Zhang Yan didn't say anything more, so he took Tai Shici to bid farewell to Liu Yao.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered something, and said to Liu Yao, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Liu, I hope Mr. Liu can give me an answer to the matter I mentioned to you just now."

Knowing that Zhang Yan was talking about proposing marriage to his daughter on behalf of Tai Shici, Liu Yao just nodded slightly, but did not speak.

After Zhang Yan and Tai Shici left Liu Yao's mansion, as soon as they went out, Tai Shici quickly walked in front of Zhang Yan, and respectfully bowed to Zhang Yan: "My lord, the matter of marriage proposal is completely entrusted to you. My lord!"

"Don't worry, everything is on me." Zhang Yan patted his chest and said with a confident smile.

Zhang Yan and Tai Shici returned to the barracks one after another. Although Liu Yao did not agree to appease Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji, in Zhang Yan's view, he had to do it.

So Zhang Yan asked Chen Deng to find him, and told Chen Deng about Liu Yao's refusal to appease Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others.

After hearing this, Chen Deng stroked the green beard on his chin, and asked, "Is my lord thinking that although Liu Yao refuses, this strategy can still be carried out by our army?"

Zhang Yan nodded and said to Chen Deng: "Exactly. It's just that our army is not as famous as Liu Yao when we first arrived in Jiangdong. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others. I wonder if Yuanlong has any solution?"

Chen Dengdao: "My lord, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji are all courageous and intrepid, but they became the commander-in-chief only by relying on their courage. Why don't you entrust this matter to me, my lord. Within a short period of time, I will definitely succeed in recruiting Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others, and let them lead the army to come to support! It's just..."

Zhang Yan asked Chen Deng to come here because he wanted Chen Deng to complete the matter. Unexpectedly, Chen Deng volunteered to comfort him without waiting for him to speak.He hurriedly asked: "Just what? Yuan Long, but it doesn't matter."

Chen Dengdao: "It's just that I still need someone to go with me. If this person can go with me, then the recruiting will be half the effort!"

"Who is this person?" Zhang Yan hurriedly asked.

"Tai Shici!" Chen Deng replied calmly.

Zhang Yan also stopped asking why Chen Deng wanted Tai Shici to go with him, and he was not going to ask what method Chen Deng would use. Since Chen Deng dared to take over this important task, it showed that Chen Deng was already prepared.

Therefore, Zhang Yan said to Chen Deng: "Apart from letting Tai Shici and Yuan Long go together, does Yuan Long have any other requirements?"

"No more!" Chen Deng replied bluntly.

Later, Zhang Yan asked Tai Shici to be called into the camp, and asked him to follow Chen Deng to perform the important task of appeasement.

After hearing this, Tai Shici didn't refuse. He cleaned up immediately, and left Moling with Chen Deng, first went to Jing County where Zu Lang occupied, then to She County where Jiao Ji was, and finally went to Wu County to find Yan Baihu.

Chen Deng and Tai Shici each rode a war horse, and both wore strong clothes. They were the only two of them, and they went to Jing County side by side.

Moreover, along the way, Tai Shici had to follow Chen Deng's instructions.

After Chen Deng and Tai Shici left, Xue Li came to see Zhang Yan with Liu Yao's order.

Liu Yao agreed to the suggestion that Zhang Yan's generals should train the army, and now he sent Xue Li to supervise the completion of this matter.

So, Zhang Yan took the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and followed Xue Li to the school grounds.

On the school field, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, generals under Liu Yao's tent, had gathered all the soldiers and horses. At first glance, the military appearance was very neat, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the soldiers in the army are tall, short, fat and thin They were all uneven, and the queues stood crookedly, and many soldiers stood there listlessly.

No wonder such an army always loses to Sun Ce!

After Zhang Yan saw it, he felt that there were countless adjustments in the army, and he was full of confidence in training these soldiers.

At this time, Xue Li called Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, and under Xue Li's supervision, he and Zhang Yan handled the handover of the army.

Liu Yao currently has [-] soldiers, of which only [-] are trained by Zhang Yan on the school field, and the remaining [-] are still under the command of Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, stationed in the east and west of Moling City respectively. West second door.

Accompanied by Xue Li, Zhang Yan boarded the Dianjiang platform, looked around at the [-] soldiers below the Dianjiang platform, and then shouted loudly: "From now on, I will be responsible for training you. I will speak ugly words first." In the front, during the period of your training, no matter when and where, my words are orders, and anyone who dares to disobey will be punished. Besides, you must not obey the orders of others, including yours. My lord. In other words, during the training period, you can only obey my orders. Do you understand?"

"Understood……"

There was a weak voice from under the general platform.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan was very displeased, and immediately said angrily: "Aren't you two full of food? Why is your voice so low? Loud up!"

"Understood!"

"Louder!"

"Understood!"

After Zhang Yan heard it, he still felt that the voice was a little low. 8000 people shouted at the same time, but it didn't feel deafening at all. No shocking power? Just 'understand' these three words, you must try your best to shout it a hundred times in a row! If there is still no satisfactory cry out of the hundred times, then call me Until you are satisfied!"

These people were all scared by Sun Ce's beating, so their morale was low and they were afraid.But as soon as Zhang Yan came, Sun Ce fled after hearing the news, so these soldiers thought that Zhang Yan must be better than Sun Ce, so they could only shout loudly out of fear.

For a while, I understood, and it echoed in the air over and over again, but Zhang Yan felt that he had no strength at all, and kept shouting: "Shout louder! Shout until I am satisfied!"

The soldiers yelled more than 50 times in a row, and finally yelled out a voice that satisfied Zhang Yan.So Zhang Yan asked people to stop shouting, and saw that the soldiers' throats were so sore, and some of them were even hoarse, a faint smile appeared on their faces: "That's right!"

Then, Zhang Yan introduced Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to the soldiers, and divided the 8000 people into two. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin each led 4000 people, divided them into the Red Army and the Blue Army, and officially started their training.
