This is a rare opportunity.

Lu Haoshan is no matter how willful and ambitious Lu Haoshan is, he still dares not rebel against the court because he is not strong enough now. The imperial court's order to station Fenzhou and Pingyang made Lu Haoshan's 800 elite soldiers dare not go over half a step. He could only train troops here from afar while watching the fun, thinking about how to participate. Unexpectedly, Cao Wenzhao took the initiative to discuss the plan to suppress bandits. This was an opportunity for the Sichuan soldiers and Lu Haoshan.

To be honest, Lu Haoshan did not feel restrained by the Qin and Jin dynasties Cao Wenzhao would value only two or three thousand troops in Sichuan. His goal to come here was just an attitude, giving the court and the emperor an attitude, so that they knew that they had been working hard to suppress bandits and would not let the emperor down. After all, before entering Shanxi, the court was promoted to Cao Wenzhao by one level, which was rare in all dynasties.

It has the taste of celebrating in advance.

Hope turned into pressure. The greater the hope, the greater the pressure. There were no major results recently, and the rebels from all walks of life are growing stronger. Cao Wenzhao was a little anxious.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Deng Yan sitting next to him, then looked at Lu Haoshan sitting in the lower head, and asked in a deep voice: "General Deng, Lu Qianhu, although we belong to different ministries, we all belong to the Right Army Governor's Office. This time we entered Jin, we are related to the appearance of the Right Army Governor's Office. I hope the two of you can abandon their prejudices and work together to complete the responsibility of suppressing bandits as soon as possible, so that we can live up to the emperor's high expectations. Anyway, it's your good things, right?"

A military officer said these gentle and kind words. He was really embarrassed. The previous one was very good, but the next two sentences expressed the fierceness and straightforwardness of the general. Lu Haoshan wanted to laugh when he heard it.

"General Cao is determined to serve the court, and his subordinates express their deep respect. For the sake of the people of the court, he is willing to rush forward. However, General Deng and Commander Dong have to speak for this matter." Lu Haoshan said tactfully.

No matter what, first express your attitude. The rest will be handled by Dong Jian and Deng Yan. Anyway, both of them are older than them.

Cao Wenzhao said with some regret: "Commander Dong was unfortunately caught in the trap. Fortunately, it was fine. I heard that Commander Dong was recuperating in Fenzhou City. Unfortunately, Cao was busy with official duties. He was unable to visit him. Commander Dong was not here. This matter of suppressing bandits..."

The two did not belong to the same Dusi, and Cao Wenzhao's status was higher than Dong Jian. Besides, the matter of the eldest son of the Dong family was probably not hidden from him. With Cao Wenzhao's talent and ability, he did not want to meet a playboy like Dong Jian. Now it is just a humble saying.

Deng Yan, who was standing by, smiled and said, "General Cao is busy with military affairs. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits. I think Commander Dong will understand that when he set out, Commander Han has already asked Deng to fully handle the military affairs of the Sichuan Army. Therefore, even if Commander Dong is not here, Deng can still make the decision. General Cao has any ideas but it doesn't matter."

In the report, no matter how bad Dong Jian wrote the situation or how brave he led his troops to fight alone, he could not hide one fact: that is incompetence, and people unknowingly made people make "dumplings". This is a serious mistake in itself. Han Wendeng can give his brother-in-law a chance, but he cannot joke about his future.

Deng Yan is a suitable candidate to save his decision-making mistakes.

Since the mud cannot support the wall, then I won’t support it.

Cao Wenzhao was secretly happy when he heard this. In fact, he had heard of Dong Jian's bad deeds. He was much more reliable in cooperation with Deng Yan, who had been through the battlefield, than the playboy. Now Hong Chengchou is in charge of the bandit suppression work in Shaanxi and has to guard the three sides. In this way, Cao Wenzhao, who controlled the armies of Shaanxi and Shanxi, became the supreme commander. As long as he was the most successful in the bandit suppression, he would be the highest hero.

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao was not afraid of others stealing his limelight, nor did he reject the elite soldiers and generals joining his bandit suppression camp. This is why he took the initiative to conspire with the Sichuan Army.

"Okay, since General Deng is so ready, we will work together to strive to wipe out these rioters as soon as possible, to restore peace to the people of the Ming Dynasty and a bright world."

Deng Yan nodded and said, "General Cao is very saying, I wonder what the general has to do?"

Cao Wenzhao smiled, but did not respond to Deng Yan's words, but instead asked: "I heard that there are many generals in Shu, General Deng is good at fighting, and Cao wants to hear General Deng's opinions."

"I dare not, why did Deng come here? He was completely disgusted with the situation here, but he didn't dare to give any suggestions." Deng Qi turned his head and looked at Lu Haoshan, and said, "Lu Qianhu has been in Shanxi for some time, and he has been almost the same as the situation here. Why not let him say it."

Lu Haoshan was speechless. In later generations, many people in power liked to ask their subordinates to express their opinions first and make their final summary. In this way, they would take good opinions and say them through his mouth, which would become his "true insightful opinions". If they were wrong, they would point them out to show their wiseness. How come they were a virtue in ancient times?

"That's right, I also heard that Lu Qianhu wiped out the king of troubled times as soon as he entered Shanxi. When he was in Sichuan, he wiped out the Buzhan Feifei Camp and made many military achievements. Everyone present was his own people. I was straightforward. To be honest, the results have not been ideal so far. If Lu Qianhu has any good suggestions, I might as well say it. At that time, Cao would also ask the court for merit for Lu Qianhu.

Lu Haoshan knew that Cao Wenzhao did not exaggerate the matter. Although there were many officers and soldiers, well-equipped and logistics supplies, "bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes." The peasant uprising troops were also trained during the war. The growth exchanged for blood and lives made them stronger and gave the official army a headache. Cao Wenzhao had already felt the pressure.

That's it, he "condescended" to visit the Sichuan Army and seek a good opportunity for joint cooperation.

"This, Mr. Lu has some stupid opinions, and I don't know if he should say it." Lu Haoshan said with some embarrassment.

Cao Wenzhao waved his hand and said without hesitation: "There are no outsiders here. It doesn't matter if you say anything wrong. Lu Qianhu, please speak freely."

You can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Lu Haoshan had to get a vaccination first. After hearing Cao Wenzhao say this, he said: "Those traitors are like weeds that cannot be cut, one after another. After all, these do not fulfill the responsibilities of our officers and soldiers. Now our biggest difficulty is that these mobs are wandering everywhere, with more than a hundred mobs of all sizes, and even the officials often lose sight of one or the other."

"Continue to talk." Cao Wenzhao felt a little moved when he heard this, and asked Lu Haoshan to continue talking. For some reason, he had a feeling: this little Qianhu would give himself a surprise.

Lu Haoshan calmed down and continued, "If you want to change this situation, you have to change it. You no longer chase the mobs and let them turn around. Instead, use official roads and passes to separate the mobs, compress their living space, and send more scouts to monitor their actions. You must cooperate with beacon towers and concentrate troops to eliminate them one by one. This is the first step. The second step we need to do is to kill the living power of the mobs."

After pausing, Lu Haoshan continued: "The imperial court has suppressed bandits for many years, and the more it has been suppressed. In addition to the natural disasters, there are also merciful causes. Those mobs committed evil and sent them a ticket to exempt them from crime and return certificates as soon as they surrendered. This made them fearless. As soon as the people in many places heard that the mob came, they responded without lobbying and joined the mob team. They said that heavy punishments were used in troubled times. We must cooperate with local governments to make propaganda, kill one to warn a hundred, and stop them from the source. In this way, those mobs have no new forces and no new people join, and it is a matter of time to wipe out them."

Deng Qi said hesitantly: "Lu Qianhu, your idea is good, but using your method, you may have to give up certain areas. At that time, the gentry and even local officials will sue us for being ungrateful to suppress the bandits. If the killing is too serious, will make people feel that we are not generous to the people?"

Not generous enough?

Lu Haoshan wanted to laugh when he heard this sentence. In history, these peasant uprisings were improved, focusing on depicting the positive side and diluting the bad side. Lu Haoshan also had a sympathy towards them at first, but after seeing many of their inhumane evil deeds, Lu Haoshan's attitude also changed.

This is the case. Lu Haoshan actively made suggestions. In fact, this strategy was based on the tactics used by island countries in later generations when they invaded China. In order to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces, they used roads and bunkers to divide the anti-Japanese base areas into pieces, which can be said to have caused great difficulties to the anti-Japanese forces back then.

Some people are indeed only suitable for being the people, being obedient to the people, and sometimes, being content with oneself is also a contribution.

"General General" Lu Haoshan said with a serious expression: "As the saying goes, a gentleman should do something and not do anything. For the army, he should also advance and retreat. Everything should start from the overall situation. From a strategic perspective, for the final victory, some sacrifices are inevitable."

Deng Yan nodded and said, "The overall situation is indeed very important. Before Deng set out, he heard that many people ignored the overall situation for their own interests, and even lost opportunities again and again."

Cao Wenzhao nodded secretly. He had heard about this incident early in the morning. He heard that mobs came, officials, people, and gentry could be said to be in danger. For the sake of their own interests, it could be said that the Eight Immortals showed their magical powers across the sea. Powerful people would order officers and soldiers to garrison or focus on their own places. In order to protect their own interests, some landlords and gentry bribed generals and asked them to send troops to protect their lives and property. Even if the officers and soldiers could not suppress the bandits well, some even accepted money from the mob and secretly gave them a way out, not knowing how many opportunities they missed.

"Lu Qianhu is right, everything should start from the overall situation." Cao Wenzhao said firmly: "Everyone, let's make a long-term plan to eliminate these bandits as soon as possible." (To be continued)
