The night was dark and the cold was blowing. The burning bonfires could not resist the severe cold in the mountains. Apart from the soldiers responsible for the warning, most of the bandits had fallen asleep next to the fire. In the quiet valley, except for the crackling sounds of firewood, there were only the soldiers' sleeping sounds from time to time.

Ma Yue sat under an ancient tree, his bright and deep black eyes looked up at the stars in the sky, and his sleepiness was gone.

The battle between Luyang and Yuan Yin's cavalry last night was a hasty incident, and the tenacity and tenacity of the Han army exceeded Ma Yue's imagination. Even in the case of sudden attacks, the Han army could still remain calm in the face of danger, stabilize the defense line, and then quickly launched a counterattack, almost taking Ma Yue out of the city to destroy 500 bandits.

Fortunately, Ma Yue was prepared, and each bandit carried a few small bags of lime powder with him. This small piece of lime powder exerted unimaginable power at the critical moment, and finally helped the 800 bandits win this important tough battle! And it only paid a very small price.

The Battle of Luyang is of great significance! Not only did he obtain more than a thousand military horses out of thin air, but he made the eight hundred bandits turn into a whole cavalry. Of course, Ma Yue would not naively think that as long as there were war horses, the eight hundred bandits would immediately become elite cavalry. Things are not that simple. It is not easy to train a qualified cavalry. The current eight hundred bandits are at most just a group of infantry riding on horseback.

But even so, these war horses are of great significance to the eight hundred bandits. At least, the speed of the eight hundred bandits will greatly accelerate, and the Han army will be even more unpredictable.

However, what is more important than getting a large number of troops and horses is that after this battle, eight hundred bandits completely crossed the hurdle of the Han army. Such elite cavalry was defeated by the eight hundred bandits. Looking at the entire Han Empire, who would compete with them? Now, eight hundred bandits are fully worthy of the title of "Tiger and Wolf Army".

When you have territory in the future, you will train this tiger and wolf army strictly, and that will be an iron-blooded army that cannot be dragged down, won’t be beaten, and will never give up!

Until today, the wolf plan has been perfected! This group of farmers who used to only know how to carry hoes and dig the ground have finally undergone qualitative changes. Now, they have sharp minions, strong will, and cruel and cruel. They have completely transformed from eating sheep into evil wolf eating sheep.

Now, no force can stop them from surviving in this troubled world. From today on, the goal of the Eight Hundred Bandits will no longer be simply to survive, but to survive better! It seems that it is time to find a piece of land, but where is the territory of the Eight Hundred Bandits?

It is impossible to establish a foothold in the Central Plains.

When moving, eight hundred bandits could kill the Han army, but if they fell into positions and fought hard with the Han army, these eight hundred people were not enough for the Han army to get stuck in the gap. Ma Yue would never be so arrogant that he could occupy the city and Dazhi with just over eight hundred people. He would be a tyrannical ruler in the heart of the Han Empire, and that would be a purely seeking death.

In addition to the Central Plains, where should the 800 bandits go?

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the valley, which shocked several pairs of crows, and flew to the distant empty mountain. Ma Yue suddenly looked up and saw Guan Hai's iron tower-like figure coming quickly. Behind Guan Hai was following Pei Yuanshao, with a frosty face on his face.

...

In Chi County, the atmosphere in the conference hall was dull. Almost all the strategists and generals under Yuan Shu were present. Even Huang Zhong and Wei He were urgently summoned to participate in the conference. Everyone frowned and had a serious expression. Just now, the 800 bandits had bypassed Wancheng and flowed southward to the Jingshan area, and had already joined forces with the bandits who were trapped in Jingshan.

"Things are very difficult!" Kuai Yue thought for a long time and sighed, "Eight hundred bandits are brave and brave, coming and going like the wind. Now, with the help of the war horse, it is even more like a tiger, and it is hard to defend against!"

Jin Shang rarely agreed, "Yes, if there are fewer troops, it may be unexpected. If there are more troops, the food, grass and supplies will be huge, and the march will be slow. How can we catch up with the footsteps of the 800 bandits? It is difficult."

Li Yan said: "What's even more difficult is that the eight hundred bandits are completely different from the ancient bandits. They do not defend the city, nor do they occupy the mountains as kings. They plunder and go around like the wind. It is completely difficult to guess the position of their next military step. The purpose makes our army unable to judge its intentions, and they cannot make corresponding arrangements. Alas~~"

Sun Jian, whose injuries had just improved, groaned and gritted his teeth, "In that case, isn't our army the only thing to do if we wait for death?"

Sun Jian's expression was ferocious, and a linen bandage was slanted around his head, completely covering his left eye. The right eye exposed outside was still shining brightly, and his murderous intent was revealed. The last time in the battle in Chi County, Sun Jian almost died under the Ma Yue sword. Fortunately, his powerful general Huang Gai arrived in time and shot Ma Yue with one arrow. He picked up his life. After the hard rescue of the military doctor, he finally saved his right eye. Unfortunately, his left eye was blind forever.

"That's not that our army is passive, but it still has an absolute advantage. Although the attacks of the eight hundred bandits are a headache, if it can pose a threat to our army, it would be too high to look down on them." Kuai Yue thought for a while and said to Yuan Shu, "General, the more you have three strategies, upper, middle and lower, to choose from."

Yuan Shu said: "Let me say it."

Kuai Yue said: "The worst case is to lure and annihilate it, the middle case is to gather heavy troops to drive it away. The best case is to deep ditches and high bases, and implement a strong wall and clear the fields. If the bandits have difficulty in supplying them, they will naturally avoid him."

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Deep ditches and high towers, solid walls and clear fields can certainly make the bandits retreat, but they are long-lasting. I am afraid that the court will not tolerate them. The emperor blames them, and it will be too risky to lure them and annihilate them. Ma Yue is cunning and like a fox, and may not be fooled. If the design is not appropriate, it is afraid that the enemy will take advantage of them. I want to gather heavy troops to expel them. I wonder what you think?"

Kuai Yue's central strategy can be said to be consistent with Yuan Shu's original intention. Eight hundred bandits were raging in the front, poisoning and living a happy life. He chased and suppressed the enemy, took advantage of the situation to take over the territory and arrange his confidants. It can be said that everyone should take their needs. As for the hardships of the people and the lives and deaths of the people, what does it have to do with him Yuan Shu?

Kuai Yue said: "If you want to gather heavy troops to drive them, you must first do two things."

Yuan Shu said: "What's the matter?"

Kuai Yue said: "First, at the pass, there are some big rushes, dangerous mountains and peaks, riverside wilderness and other buildings are platform, and there are mostly white grass. Once the whereabouts of bandits are discovered, fire can be raised as a call. First, to warn nearby counties and townships, and second, to lead all armies to chase and chase them. Second, after the army leaves the city, the county's garrison is empty, so you must first recruit more volunteer soldiers and practice diligently. Although it is not enough to kill the enemy in the above formation, you can use it to defend the city."

Yuan Shu said: "Good! Yuan Xiu can arrange for people to build beacon towers as soon as possible. As for recruiting volunteer soldiers and training, you can order all counties to do it immediately."

Kuai Yue said again: "The army should not gather in one place or be too dispersed. Each army should be based on a scale of one thousand people. It is not to seek to defeat the enemy, but to protect itself. The army should not be too far apart to avoid taking advantage of the gap for the 800 bandits to escape. The army can be the center of bandits, spread out slowly in a fan shape, and communicate with each other to support each other. When they hear the thieves' tracks, they will advance, and when they see the beacon fire, they will defend themselves when they encounter bandits attacks, and then the bandits will run around for a long time and will not be able to rest. They will naturally avoid him soon."

Li Yan was not willing to be lonely and added: "We need to understand the counties. If the generals come in person, no army is allowed to enter the city without authorization. They are only allowed to station outside the city, so as not to allow the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity."

"Good!" Yuan Shu attacked the case and said to Li Yan, "Li Yan obeyed the order."

Li Yan took a step forward, raised his head and said, "Here."

"Immediately, please tell the truth about all counties. If we are not in person, no army is allowed to enter the city without authorization. Each city can take strict precautions to prevent all suspicious people from entering the city."

"Abide by the order!"

"Sun Jian obeys the order."

"The last one will be there."

"Turn one thousand troops from the east of the camping mountain. If the bandits arrive, retreat; if the beacon fire rises, advance, and if there is no mistake."

"Abide by the order!"

"Zhang Xun obeys the order."

"The last one will be there."

"Turn one thousand troops out to the west of Jingshan Mountain and keep a distance from Sun Jian's troops, and do not make any mistakes."

"Abide by the order!"

"Yuan Yin obeyed the order."

"The last one will be there."

"The same leader is one thousand troops and leave the north of Jingshan Mountain to keep a distance from Sun Jian and Zhang Xun's troops. You should remember to atone for your merits and atone for your sins, but if there is any mistake, you will be punished with both crimes and will definitely be killed."

"Abide by the order!"

"Huang Zhong, Wei He."

"The last one will be there."

"Each of each leads one thousand soldiers in Nanyang and goes south of Jingshan, and there must be no mistakes."

"Affect the order."
