On the contrary, for the more than 1 newly arrived infantry, since these people are not his direct subordinates, he is a little worried about their rejection and resistance to his "next door" commander.

It wasn't until Pei Yuanshao took the lead to express his opinion just now that he felt a little relieved.

"Since Brother Pei is willing to trust, then I will directly command these more than [-] people."

"If you have any objections to my orders, you can argue with me after the war, but during the war, please ask the generals to follow the military orders and don't make me ask questions."

Stretching out his hand, he changed the direction of the map and spread it out in front of everyone. Seeing that Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others nodded, Xu Huang opened his mouth to lay out the battle plan for this time.

"Everyone... Just like I said before, our suppression of bandits this time is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, the task of spying on the other party's information and instigating internal conflicts among these thieves has been completed by me a few days ago. So what we need to do now is the plan for the second phase, which is the decisive battle phase."

"Everyone, look at the distribution of mountains in this buried hill. Although there are dozens of them within a short span of a hundred miles, the only real climate is the four large settlements located in the middle of the buried hill."

"The smallest of these settlements is about [-] people, and the largest is more than [-] people. They were the headquarters used by the thief Zu Mo to issue orders to the entire Shanyue when the thief Zu Mo was still there."

"We don't need to divide our troops too much this time. We just need to divide the [-] soldiers into four places, and at the same time use thunderous means to attack and wipe out all the largest tribes in these four places."

Pointing to the four red dots on the map, Xu Huang gestured to everyone, and then continued.

"According to our information, two of these four settlements have about 500 people, one has 800 to 1000 people, and the other has a large number of people, about [-] people,"

"These settlements are all protected by strong camps, so it is difficult for us to gain any numerical advantage on the frontal battlefield."

"We sorted the four settlements in order of size, from small to large, and referred to them by numbers—for example, this settlement of 700 people, we named it No. [-]."

Pointing to the biggest red dot on the map with his finger, Xu Huang tapped on the table lightly, then pointed his finger at the four people present including himself.

"This time, in order to be able to wipe out these enemies, we also divided the soldiers under our command into four groups, and the four of us commanded them respectively."

"Three of these four groups are composed of three battalions of sword and shield fighters and one camp of longbowmen, with a total of 4000 people. They are responsible for exterminating three bandit settlements with a small number of people."

"As for the remaining army, because there are more than a thousand longbowmen, it is responsible for destroying the key No. [-] target with more than [-] people."

"Attacking camps and villages is different from fighting on flat ground, and it is inevitable to suppress arrows. This fourth army has the most longbowmen, so it can be relatively simple when attacking camps."

"Everyone, how are you?"

He looked at everyone present with a solemn expression. Because this marching operation is different from daily life, it is a very serious matter. Therefore, even though the relationship between the few people present is very good in private, at this time, Xu Huang Still put on a business-like attitude.

As for Pei Yuanshao and the others, they put away their playful smiles and began to think seriously.

……

"That's...that's fine."

"If I wait to fight all four ways, with 2 people against more than [-] people, I think there is no risk. I have the advantage in this battle."

……

"It's just General Xu, but I still have some things that I don't understand."

After a moment of silence, the black-faced man Zhou Cang who had been sitting beside Pei Yuanshao took the initiative to speak, breaking the original tranquility among the crowd.

"General Xu, since we already have an overwhelming advantage in this battle, and you have obtained the specific information on all the thieves, why don't we simply kill all these thieves at once and kill them all in one battle?" All done?"

"As you said, apart from these four largest settlements, the rest of Shanyue, big and small, probably have thousands of people."

"If they are allowed to indulge in this hidden mountain, it might not be a good thing for the people of Lujiang, right?"

Chapter 50 Divide into Four Ways

I saw Zhou Cang asked Xu Huang in some puzzlement, as if he didn't quite understand, since he and others had such a big advantage now, why didn't he go all out and wipe out the remaining thieves as well.

Opposite him, Xu Huang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he suddenly realized, and explained to everyone present.

"Ah? Exterminate them all, how can I do that!"

With a wry smile and waved to Zhou Cang, a trace of helplessness appeared on Xu Huang's face.

"Yuanfu, you want to wipe out all those thieves and seek stability for the people of Lujiang. I also understand the idea, but it is really not that simple to take down all these guys."

"Don't look at our current military strength far surpassing those thieves and bandits, but the generals who can lead the army independently, even including Yuan Jian, but there are only four of them, it is impossible to command the troops at the same time to disperse into several Ten shares, work together."

"Although we have quite a few middle and low-level battalion generals, in terms of leading the army independently, the ability of this group of people is still too weak."

"If these soldiers are really scattered, the biggest possibility is that we will not smash the entire mountain with one blow, but there will be a high probability of disrupting our own position due to confusion in command and untimely transmission of information. "

"Unless one day we can transmit voices across thousands of miles and arrive in a short time like the anecdotes of gods and ghosts, otherwise you should not expect those ordinary middle and low-level generals to lead their troops alone."

With earnest words of persuasion to Zhou Cang, Xu Huang's eyes flickered slightly, and then he continued:

"Also, have you forgotten what the lord said back then?"

……

"My lord?"

A doubtful expression appeared on Zhou Cang's face. He was a little puzzled by Xu Huang's choice to keep some Shanyue thieves behind, but he never thought that this matter would be brought back to Zhang Yan.

……

"Hey, Yuan Fu, you may have forgotten that I was ordered to go south to suppress the bandits this time. On the one hand, I want to clear the entire Lujiang local Shanyue forces and return the people of Lujiang a stable environment. On the other hand, I want to kill those bandits as much as possible." Those who have been captured and taken back will contribute to the future construction of Lujiang."

"These are all real young and strong people. My lord, he has been thinking about it day and night, just waiting for me to bring thousands of prisoners back this time, and help him build the prefect's mansion and library."

"Did you not see Wei Xian, who came to look for me in my tent every day before I left, repeatedly emphasizing to me how scarce manpower is in Lujiang now, lest I mistakenly kill his future laborers .”

"This time, as long as we pull out the four most powerful and most harmful nails in the mountains, we have completed the main purpose of this stage."

"As for the remaining thieves, after seeing that we have the ability to defeat Shanyue, they will naturally accept our surrender."

……

"This is what the third phase of the entire battle plan will accomplish."

……

A sharpness flashed in his eyes, and when Xu Huang mentioned the remaining Shanyue, he subconsciously made a movement of showing his muscles, and a faint majesty appeared on his face.

Then, seeing that everyone present had a clear understanding, he just took a sip of tea, and began to ask a few people:

"If you didn't mention it just now, I almost forgot, Yuan Fu, and Brother Pei, you must remember that this time we will attack Qianshan in four directions, except for those who must kill the chief evildoers. For the rest of the idle pawns, as long as they confirm that there is no threat, they can be detained by the soldiers under their hands."

"Not only these people, but also those villains. As long as the other party surrenders, they will be left behind and brought back to Wancheng alive."

"If it is not the case, although the Lord's battle cannot be said to be in vain, it is far from being so cost-effective."

The voice gradually fell, and a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Huang's mouth.

"This battle is the first battle after we arrived in Lujiang, and it is also a battle that is crucial to the future development of Lujiang."

"Although it is not appropriate for me to say this, in any case, I still hope that everyone here can do their best to bring the Lord a long-lost victory and bring some peace to the people of Lujiang."

"I have already talked with the new Mr. Chen from Qianshan. As long as I wipe out the four most powerful Shanyue settlements, he will take care of the rest of the aftermath. I don't have any problems at all." There is no need to worry about the future.”

"how?"

"This time, do you have any questions?"

The loud voice resounded in the depths of the camp, Xu Huang's tiger eyes passed over everyone one by one, and every time he passed by a person, he looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, seeing the three people including Zhou Cang nodding slightly to him, Xu Huang withdrew his gaze in satisfaction.

"Okay! Since that's the case, then we will arrange this battle like this."

"General Zhou, you and Yuan Jian each lead an army to attack the two camps with more than [-] people. You must kill the thieves in the camps on the spot or on the spot while ensuring your own safety. Or disarm them and take them into custody, don't let any one go!"

"As for General Pei, you are the one who is most familiar with mountain warfare among the four of us, so you will lead an army of 4000 people to capture the camp of more than [-] people on the mountainside."

"This trip is dangerous. There are already a large number of bandits in that den, and the sword has no eyes. I hope General Pei will pay more attention to safety."

Since Xu Huang had already started talking about serious business at this moment, he no longer referred to Pei Yuanshao and others as brothers and brothers as before, but directly referred to them as "General".

This means that at this moment, every word Xu Huang said is a business matter, and it is all official business, and Pei Yuanshao must not discount it just because the personal relationship between the two is good.

And Pei Yuanshao naturally knew what Xu Huang meant, clasped his fists in front of him, and his face became extremely straight.

……

"General Xu, don't worry!"

"Although the two of us do not belong to each other, my old Pei dares to assure you that there will never be any mistakes or omissions in this battle!"

"At any rate, I also traveled with that person in the Guanzhong area, and I don't know how many days I spent licking blood..."

"This time it's just those hundreds of thieves, let's see that Lao Pei can capture them with a wave of his hand!"

After blurting out four very strong words in a row, Pei Yuanshao's face was flushed with blood.

As for Xu Huang, he nodded and accepted the words.

"Okay, then the bandits on the mountainside will be handed over to General Pei."

"As for the last cottage with the largest number of people... I will gather five thousand elite soldiers and go meet it myself!"

Slightly squinting his eyes, Xu Huang turned over from the ground with a force, and there was a hint of awe in his eyes looking into the distance.

Chapter 51 The Secret Weapon

"Everyone, you must remember that our goal this time is to destroy these four camps with a thunderbolt, and at the same time kill all the Shanyue forces who are trying to fight back against us, and disarm all the remaining personnel."

"The focus of this operation is fast, accurate, and ruthless! I don't care what method you use, but you must capture the camp as soon as the smoke is lit, and you can't let one go!"

"As for the time to dispatch troops... Considering that our army is powerful and may attract the attention of the other party at any time, we should set off as soon as possible. This time we will set off three quarters later, and try to reach our respective destinations before Shenshi, Shenshi Use the banner of "Wolf Smoke" for a moment, and attack these thieves at the same time!"

He recommanded to everyone present sonorously and forcefully, Xu Huang and several people present shook their fists one by one as an oath, and then planned to stand up and lead out of the tent.

Behind him, Pei Yuanshao was excitedly preparing to set off with the other party, and then suddenly stopped in place as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, by the way, how did I forget about this!"

He slapped himself on the forehead suddenly, because what Xu Huang said just now also touched Pei Yuanshao's heart, so Pei Yuanshao was excited for a while, but almost forgot a major event.

After yelling to stop Xu Huang, he hurried forward and grabbed the opponent's armor, pulled him with a smile on his face, and walked towards the direction where the supplies were piled up outside the camp.

"Gongming, Gongming!"

"I almost forgot just now, but I remembered when you mentioned attacking the camp..."

"Aren't we going to attack the opponent's village this time? My lord, he was worried that we would suffer too many casualties, so he ordered me to bring you a lot of goodies."

"Let's go, come with me to get this thing first, and then we will go to Qianshan to kill the enemy together!"
