Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

The angle of view came to Xu Huang's side——

While Pei Yuan and Shao Xing rushed south with more than 1 newly polished soldiers, Xu Huang was also constantly busy.

Outside the city gate of Qianxian County, in an extremely solemn military camp, Xu Huang was sitting in the middle of the big tent in the camp at the moment, staring at the roll of sheepskin documents spread out on the table in front of him.

The sheepskin has been tanned for the first time, and a series of intricate lines are drawn with charcoal on it.

Between the lines, there are several red dots painted with cinnabar, dotted between those lines like nails.

This is exactly the buried hill map that Xu Huang just made.

……

"Well……"

"These locations are far away from each other, probably at least ten miles away."

"If that's the case, as long as we believe in the beacon fire and go out in all directions, we will surely wipe out the thieves in one go, so as to avoid future troubles on the Lujiang River."

……

More than half an hour passed, when the drums used for training outside the tent rang through the three links, Xu Huang rubbed his somewhat dry eyes, put away the roll of sheepskin on the table, and hung it on the wall of the tent behind him above.

It has been almost a week since he received Zhang Yan's order to go south to suppress the bandits.

During this week, Xu Huang did not lead his army straight to the buried hill not far away relying on his own military sharpness, but after a day's trek, he took the five big soldiers with him first. The battalion's well-trained longbowmen were stationed near Qian County not far from Qianshan.

You know, there has been a saying in the art of war since ancient times, and the terrain around the buried mountain is mostly mountains and hills, so Xu Huang knows that if he acts rashly this time, he will easily be targeted by those mountain thieves. ambush.

And once they start a confrontation in a relatively small forest area, these thousands of soldiers may not really be able to gain any benefits in the opponent's home court.

In order to solve the disadvantages of being unfamiliar with the terrain and not knowing the opponent's intelligence, Xu Huang, who is naturally fond of thinking, subconsciously moved his brain.

Unlike Pei Yuanshao and other "reckless" generals, Xu Huang's biggest advantage lies in his background.

He is a child of the Xu family in Hedong County. Although he can't be said to be a powerful family like the Yang family, he can barely be said to be a powerful landlord. He has been familiar with various books since he was a child. The ability to learn has not fallen.

Since he already knew that the bandits are brave, cunning and difficult to destroy, before he set off, he found many opportunities and discussed with his lord Zhang Yan for a long time, and then decided on his actions after he arrived in Qian County in the future plan.

After all, although Zhang Yan was young, he not only defeated Xu Huang in the Battle of Hedong, but also brought two thousand light and strong infantry near Taihang Mountain to slow down the pace of Guo Tai, the leader of Baibo Huangjin. Xu Huang and others had the opportunity to take down Taiyuan County in the north, forcing Mrs. Guo who came from afar to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the army they led.

If only from this point of view, then Zhang Yan can be regarded as a master of military art.

It was also the consultation at the beginning that allowed Xu Huang to obtain the method to get rid of the terrain and intelligence disadvantages of the buried hill as he wished.

To put it simply, relying on superior intelligence, the early stage is as immovable as a mountain, and the later stage is as dynamic as thunder, that's all.

His eyes were still cruising around the four cinnabar marks on the map, Xu Huang's confidence at the moment was very sufficient.

"There is a saying in the ancient Sun Sheng's Art of War: If the husband has not fought and the temple is considered victorious, it must be counted as more; if the temple has not been fought and the temple is considered invincible, it must be counted as small."

"This time, we have no intention to calculate mentally, and the strength and discipline of the soldiers under our command are far superior to that Shanyue thief."

"When the men and horses are ready, I think we will be able to win this battle."

Although there was no one in the big tent, Xu Huang muttered softly.

You know, why bandits have been difficult to eradicate since ancient times?

First, because the mountains are dangerous, large-scale troops cannot spread out in the mountains and forests. Therefore, on local battlefields, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to form an effective force advantage against bandits.

At this point, even if the officers and soldiers win the battle, the opponent can escape calmly by relying on the familiar terrain.

The second reason is that bandits gather together in the mountains and forests, and they exist in the form of settlements with each other, and are led by an elected leader.

These settlements range from hundreds to dozens of people, and they are distributed in the mountains like ant nests. Without suitable sources of information, it is difficult for ordinary government troops to find them.

The third reason is that bandits have many eyes and ears and have their own intelligence networks to communicate with each other.

Once a member of a bandit colony is attacked, the bandits in the entire mountain will soon get the news, making it impossible for the officers and soldiers who came to suppress the bandits to do their best with one blow.

It is precisely because of the existence of the above three unfavorable factors that since the time of the first emperor of Qin, although the armies of the Qin and Han dynasties were able to fight against the Huns in the north and conquer the Qiang in the west, it was still difficult to achieve any effective results in the mountainous areas of southern China. .

Just like those traditional RPG games, even if a strong fighter can defeat all the monsters on the map, when faced with the complexity of the map itself, the fighter's strength will be greatly affected, and even die in battle. In the hands of some monsters who are far weaker than themselves.

Similarly, in the process of exterminating bandits, even in a short period of time, the officers and soldiers of the official family gained some small advantages by virtue of their sufficient military strength. After a short period of time, these soldiers will be exhausted in the entire mountainous area, And quickly lost.

In order to solve this problem, Xu Huang can be said to have done a lot of homework in advance.

According to the method he asked Zhang Yan before he left, this time Xu Huang led his army to the south to suppress the bandits. If he wants to win, the most important thing is not to crush the opponent in terms of hard power, but to fight well. intelligence warfare.

When conditions permit, you must confront those thieves when you have reliable information in your hands, and strive to completely defeat those Shanyue forces with a single blow by virtue of the superior force.

In order to achieve this goal, Xu Huang also thought hard on the way to Qianshan, and finally finalized the entire operation phalanx just before arriving at Qianshan.

According to the method given to him by Zhang Yan, this extermination operation was divided into three stages by Xu Huang as a whole:

The first stage is the early stage of the battle. During this period, in order to obtain enough information near Qianshan, Xu Huang posted a notice to release the news as soon as he arrived near Qianxian County, expressing with great fanfare that he was under the influence of Lujiang River. Appointed by the prefect, he led [-] elite soldiers to Qianshan to suppress bandits, and in the near future, more than [-] reinforcements will go south to act with him.

At this point, Xu Huang can be said to have shown his momentum as much as possible. On the one hand, he calmed down the emotions of the people in Qian County, so that they would not feel panic because he and others led the army. On the one hand, it is also to bring enough psychological pressure to those Shanyue bandits.

Who is Xu Huang?

Xu Huang is an official, and the five thousand well-trained soldiers he brought with him are also real officers and soldiers.

Who is Sangoshi?

Shanyue is a bandit, although Zu Lang relied on his Yue people's origin to get a good name for these bandits...

But what they did was thieves, there is no doubt about it.

Since ancient times, officials and thieves have never been at odds. They Shanyue are thieves, Xu Huang is an official, and Xu Huang led the troops to the south. The fear of those who are at the bottom of the mountain will be shaken.

And once these guys' minds waver, Xu Huang will have his first chance.

Chapter 45 Bandits Are Human Too

When he saw that the pressure had shifted to Shanyue's side, Xu Huang knew that his chance had come.

……

Unlike well-trained troops who ate and lived together, most of the bandits gathered together based on their own desires. Not only did they have no discipline with each other, it was even normal for them to have conflicts with each other.

Under such circumstances, Xu Huang used a simple method to further divide these unprofessional bandits.

Winning over a group, suppressing a group, a simple countermeasure, nothing more.

There was nothing superfluous, Xu Huang just announced a message in Qian County:

The Lujiang army will attack the mountain in seven days. Before the attack, all thieves who are coerced to go up the mountain and do no evil can go down the mountain to accept the government's security. The government promises not to hold them accountable for their mistakes.

As soon as the news came out, the mountain in the buried mountain gradually boiled like a pot of boiling water.

Recruiting?

In fact, when they saw the news for the first time, most bandits dismissed it.

You must know that in this era, there is no such thing as coercion for those who can join the bandits. Even if these people do not say that everyone has a life in their hands, there are very few good people among them.

Therefore, after learning the news through the eyeliner lurking in Qian County, the bandits generally didn't pay attention to it. Instead, they had the idea of ​​watching the fun, and even began to comment on the level of Xu Huang, the leader.

But to their surprise, within two days, the wind direction among the bandits changed suddenly, and the bandits looked at each other with suspicion gradually.

It only took these bandits less than three days to change their mentality from "it is impossible for someone to go down the mountain to accept recruitment" to "whether you should accept recruitment".

What prompted this change was a common sense subconsciously ignored by all bandits:

That means bandits are people too.

Precisely because bandits are human beings, there is also a social system among bandits. If there is society, there will be conflicts, and there will be those with vested interests and those without vested interests. Differentiate to produce different groups.

Once this kind of group appears, the situation that the same party will attack the dissidents and slander each other through the recruitment will also arise immediately.

Those with vested interests squeezed others to increase oppression, and those without vested interests united to overthrow the existing structure. For a while, the entire Shanyue forces became a little panicked.

You must know that people are definitely different. Even among the same evil Shanyue, there will always be some people who do more evil, and some people who do less evil.

In such a general environment, the saying "those who do less evil are more likely to betray the organization" almost instantly became a kind of political correctness among bandits.

In addition, those who do less evil have entered the industry later, have a lower status, and are more likely to be oppressed...

Before the three-day deadline, Xu Huang's barracks ushered in the first person who couldn't bear the pressure from his colleagues and secretly went down the mountain to accept recruitment.

……

"I, I was coerced, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't do anything bad..."

……

Seeing the faltering look of the person who came down the mountain, Xu Huang knew that the other party must be deceiving him almost without using his brain.

At this time, maybe the guy in front of him did not have any life in his hands, but if he said that he did not do evil, then Xu Huang would definitely not believe it.

It's just that although he was a little contemptuous in his heart, he still ordered the soldiers under his command to treat Shanyue who came to be recruited well, and tried to obtain information about the distribution of those Shanyue gangs inside Qianshan from the other party's mouth.

Such things as surrender have always been human nature, so after having the first person at the beginning, Xu Huang soon welcomed the second, third and even more thieves who came to accept the recruitment.

As more people surrendered, more and more information about Shanyue in Xu Huang's hands became more complete.

When the three days were up, Xu Huang passed on another order. This time, not only the lower-level Shanyue were squeezed out, but even many upper-middle-level people in the Shanyue became a little precarious.

……

"Because a certain person from Shanyue came to accept the recruitment a few days ago and provided us with a lot of information about Shanyue for the Lujiang army, from now on, even those who have committed murder and evil, as long as they come to accept the recruitment and provide information about Shanyue's camps and personnel Arrangement, you can also atone for your crimes, get the forgiveness of Lujiang officials, and no longer pursue the previous crimes."

……

A few simple words made the Shanyue camp, which was already noisy and noisy, boil again.

……

"What, you high-level people actually accepted the recruitment? You guys wronged me a few days ago. It turns out that the real traitor is you guys!"

……

"Fart, I wouldn't do such a thing!"

……

"Oh, oh, stop fighting, let me say from a rational, neutral, and objective point of view, both of you are responsible for this matter!"

……

All of a sudden, various rumors began to appear among the Shanyue group, and bloody conflicts broke out in many Shanyue camps because of this.

At the foot of the mountain, Xu Huang cheerfully accepted all the thieves who surrendered down the mountain. After ordering his subordinates to detain them and keep them under strict supervision, he sorted out a basic "distribution of forces in Lujiang Mountain and Vietnam" through the information in these populations. Schematic".
