() Liu Shiliang and 25 sergeants came.

Seeing Liu Shiliang approaching, Su Tiancheng was startled. Could it be that Liu Shiliang wants to be a scout himself? Such an arrangement is not very good. Liu Shiliang is one of the leaders in the army, the battalion commander of the first cavalry battalion.

The role of scouts is extraordinary, not only the scouts of the army, but also the taste of special forces, spying on the enemy's situation, inquiring about news, secretly solving the enemy's secret sentry, assassinating the important figures of the enemy, capturing the enemy's figures alive to obtain information, Even drawing maps and atlases, etc., the comprehensive ability of scouts is stronger than that of other sergeants, and they are good at camouflage.

Scouts are a very important branch of the army.

Liu Shiliang's ability is indeed good, but this kind of ability needs to be used in leading and commanding the army to fight, not as a scout.

There are five battalions in the inspection department, and each battalion has a scout team of 50 people. These people have the hardest training and are also the best among the sergeants.

"General Liu, are you going to investigate the enemy yourself?"

"My lord, my subordinates are going to investigate the situation. Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely complete the task."

Su Tiancheng was a little worried, but this was a decision made by Sun Yuankun, and he couldn't change it temporarily.

"Well then, General Liu, tell me what kind of arrangements you have."

"My lord, according to General Sun's order, we will send 26 teams of scouts this time. Each team has three people. The subordinates are under unified command. They are divided into three directions: the front, the middle and the back. Draw a map. The five teams of scouts in the middle mainly observe the two sides of the army. Whether there is any change or threat. The five teams of scouts in the back mainly observe whether there is someone following the army, and make an accurate judgment. Summarize the daily investigation situation."

Su Tiancheng nodded, this arrangement is very comprehensive.

"General Sun, let me talk about the request first."

"The core tasks of the scouts are mainly two points. The first is to find out where the rogues are and how many people there are. According to my estimation, if the rogues come to Anqing Mansion, there will not be many people. Their purpose of coming is The main reason is looting, and there are too many people coming. It is inconvenient, and it is easy to be bitten by the imperial army. Good combat effectiveness, after looting supplies, you can quickly evacuate."

"The second is to figure out the main attack direction of the rogues. Anqing Mansion is so big, if you cast a net around and investigate, it won't be effective. Since the rogues want to rob money and food, they will definitely choose places with concentrated households. Such a place, They will have money and food, and they will never go to remote places, so their goal must be the county seat. I have already discussed with General Sun, and I guess they will choose Susong County, which is close to Huguang. After they succeed, You can quickly leave Anqing Mansion."

"If the rogues can capture Susong County, they can get a lot of supplements, but attacking the county is very difficult and dangerous. They won't do it easily if they don't investigate clearly. From the map of Susong County, Seven miles away from the county seat, there is a big market town. We don't know the situation of this market town, but it is only seven miles away from the county seat. It must be rich. Their target is probably here, so you investigate The focus is on this place.”

Sun Yuankun and Liu Shiliang looked at Su Tiancheng, a little in disbelief that Su Tiancheng could have such a precise analysis.

Liu Shiliang originally planned to work day and night to find out the situation.

Su Tiancheng had such a meticulous thinking and clear mind, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

Two days later, the brigade arrived outside Susong County.

It is already December 28, and every household is preparing for the New Year.

The magistrate of Susong County was waiting for Su Tiancheng and others at the county government office.

Sergeants will not enter the county seat, and the Susong County Government has also arranged a place, a racetrack on the outskirts of the city, as a temporary residence for the sergeants of the Jiangning County Inspection Department.

After paying a courtesy visit to the county magistrate, Su Tiancheng and the others didn't stay for dinner, and went straight back to the barracks. <On the eve of the festival, people come from afar, and it is very hard work.

According to Su Tiancheng's analysis, Sun Yuankun had already made arrangements to increase the number of scout teams to thirty.

The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander gathered in Su Tiancheng's room. <Festival, not to mention officials and gentry families, even ordinary people, will store some supplies, and they will be able to be more generous during the New Year. At this time, the government is also resting. It is the time when the defense is the weakest, and it is also the best The timing of the action, so we must be highly vigilant. "

"Brothers are working very hard. It's New Year's Eve, but we have to tighten our nerves. We have no choice but to call you here to discuss the next move."

"The rogues encountered setbacks in Shanxi and fled to Henan. It is also difficult to gain a foothold. I guess the next step is that they must go to Huguang and make a long-distance raid. Their silver and food are extremely scarce and they need to be supplemented urgently. As a last resort, they may come to Anqing Mansion Take risks, so if you know their purpose, you can prepare."

"Everywhere in Huguang must be fully prepared. Everyone thinks that Zijin Liang will definitely enter Huguang with the rogues. This is exactly the case. The rogues may do the opposite and attack Anqing Mansion or other places by surprise. The counties under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture, from the specific situation, Yingshan County in Luzhou Prefecture is also somewhat dangerous."

"In Yingshan County and Susong County, if you capture any county town at will, you will be greatly supplemented and strengthen the strength of the rogues. We must not allow this to happen."

All nodded.

Deng Hui spoke first.

"My lord, all generals, I have some experience, let me share it for your reference."

"The rogues fight erratically, and there are quite a few situations where they just accept it when they see it. They will do a full investigation in advance. Now, we are stationed outside the county seat, and it is impossible to keep it completely secret. When the rogues learn about this situation, most of them are They won't come here, but they can go to the countryside to plunder and get very little, and they won't do it either. Since they have suffered setbacks in Shanxi and Henan, their food and grass are extremely scarce. Food and grass must be their biggest task."

"Huguang and Nanzhili are both rich and prosperous places, but all parts of Huguang have been prepared for a long time. The rogues may not have a chance. They are very likely to go to Anqing Mansion or a county under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Mansion. , captured a county seat, got supplies, and left quickly.”

"Your Excellency's analysis is very accurate. Near Huguang, there are only Yingshan County and Susong County. In my personal opinion, Yingshan County is more dangerous."

Having said that, Deng Hui didn't continue talking, because there was evil, and it was inconvenient for him to say it.

"Deng Hui, go ahead and say, don't have any worries."

"Okay, I made such a judgment because the city of Luzhou is more than 400 miles away from Yingshan County. The soldiers of the Nanjing Jingying must be stationed in the city of Luzhou. If Yingshan was attacked , They are reinforcements, and it will take about two days. It is considered time to get the news, maybe it will be about six or seven days. After such a long time, the rogues are ready, and they will be able to take the county calmly."

"Anqing Fucheng is much closer to Susong. Kuaima arrived in more than a day. The bandits attacked Susong. The news spread. They don't have extra time. They are likely to face reinforcements from the imperial court immediately. Therefore, the following analysis The rogue bandits are going to enter Nanzhili, and the chosen target is likely to be Yingshan County."

Sun Yuankun nodded in approval.

"Well said, Brother Deng's analysis, I think, is very accurate."

Xiong Zijian also spoke. He is an aide, and he must come up with opinions at critical moments.

"Yingshan County is under the jurisdiction of Luzhou Prefecture. According to the imperial edict of the Ministry of War, Luzhou Prefecture is under the responsibility of the Nanjing Jingying. If we inform them of the situation we have analyzed, it may cause some conflicts. The analysis between Sir and Brother Deng is very important. It makes sense, if bandits invade Yingshan County, we must not sit idly by, we must rescue them."

The rest of the people talked in a hurry, and they all supported Deng Hui's analysis.

Su Tiancheng was very happy, this is a standard meeting of heroes.

"Okay, everyone's understanding is basically unified. Susong County is close to three hundred miles away from Yingshan County. It takes about a day. The scouts need to keep an eye on the situation in Yingshan County. As for our actions, We must have a detailed plan, the rogues are erratic, we cannot be led by them, they are erratic, we will follow them, we are all cavalry, well prepared, if they bite them, we will never let them easily escape."

"Intelligence work is very important. We must not be reckless, and we must not let our brothers bleed in vain. We do not fight unprepared battles. We must plan in detail, strategize, and know everything well."

"General Sun, everything is under your command. We convene this kind of Zhuge Liang meeting to make suggestions for you. I still want to use the smallest price to win the greatest victory."

Everyone went to rest, but Sun Yuankun stayed.

"My lord, my subordinates think that this time, my lord will be in charge of the overall planning and command. My lord thinks far-reachingly. After I make up my mind, my subordinates will just execute it."

"No, the things that are determined must be carried out. If you encounter any difficulties, we can discuss together and finally make a decision. At this time, you must not have the slightest hesitation, otherwise it will disturb the morale of the army. Boldly command, the brothers fully believe in you."
