Of course, this solution only looks very cost-effective, trouble-free and convenient, but its actual feasibility is very limited.
Farmers may not be very good at war, but there is nothing wrong with their brains.
The purpose of this plan is too clear. They cannot stupidly stay in Daze Mountain and wait to die. They will definitely break through.
For them, if there is a fight, they may not mind staying at the headquarters and having a head-on fight with the empire, wrestling with each other's arms, but it is obvious that they can only wait to die without a fight, and they will definitely not stay in Daze Mountain to die.
support.
Wang Li's armor-piercing soldiers were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If they were to spread out and surround the entire Daze Mountain, the peasants could easily gather superior forces to break out from a certain direction.
Back to the topic, Han Xin was not satisfied with the peasant 'army' whose combat power was worrying, but he could barely accept it.
He didn't expect these farm disciples to show much fighting power, but he just took a fancy to their only advantage - there are enough!
The total manpower that the farmers can mobilize exceeds 80,000 people, which is fully twice that of the empire.
They are not fighting a siege now, but a normal encounter in the mountains and forests. Having more people is their biggest advantage.
Eighty thousand peasant disciples may not be able to defeat the empire's more than 30,000 elite aces, but they can definitely hold them back... It doesn't even take 80,000, the current 40,000 is enough.
Forty thousand pigs were killed by the imperial army, and they had to kill them for a long time!
Of course, during this period, the leadership of the Farmer Disciples by General Feng Linhuoshan was indispensable - the combat effectiveness of the Farmer Disciples would not be instantly improved, but with the command of professional soldiers, the possibility and speed of their morale collapse would be greatly reduced.
This is what Han Xin needs, otherwise, 40,000 people may not be as good as 40,000 pigs.
This is not something that can be accomplished by just the four of them. It also requires the assistance of hundreds of regular soldiers of the Tenglong Legion - they have all been incorporated into the peasant army as grassroots officers, which is not enough, but it is not enough.
Can make a living.
In any case, Han Xin has indeed amassed such a four-pronged army. Next, he has to paint the pie to give the angel investor, the farmer, some confidence:
"The four-pronged army of Fenglinhuoshan has been assembled. It is just right to fight against the jackals, tigers and leopards."
It is a pity that not only Han Xin is not optimistic about the peasant army, but also the peasants themselves are not optimistic about it.
Brother Hu, who is outspoken and outspoken, said bluntly, "What you say is nice, one after another, does this hold up?"
"War is not a business of talking about words. When the real swords and guns come, don't be so scared that you pee your pants first!"
It can be seen that Tian Hu not only has doubts about the fighting ability of the peasant disciples, but also has little trust in Han Xin.
Tian Yan turned to look at Han Xin at this time, looked at him carefully for a moment and then asked, "Do you dare to issue a military order?"
"The meaning of the military order is..." Han Xin asked, pretending not to know.
"Use your head as a guarantee for the success or failure of your plan."
Han Xin shook his head without hesitation, "Then I don't dare. I don't want to die yet."
"Are you scared?" Tian Yan showed a joking smile.
Tian Hu immediately responded and said, "Hey! I knew this guy was just an embroidered pillow. It's just a good idea but not useful!"
The other high-level farmers around him all looked at Han Xin with different meanings.
Needless to say, Tian Zhong and other members of the Xiakui faction had similar attitudes to Tian Hu, while Chen Sheng and others from the Zhu family also had complicated eyes and were not particularly friendly.
After all, they were not familiar with Han Xin, but they chose to believe him because of the arrogant attitude of Long Qie and others, as well as the Mohist family.
This trust is very limited...after all, no one knows what Han Xin's name is until now.
Han Xin didn't care about these different looks. After looking around calmly, he spread his hands and replied:
"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to put my life in other people's hands."
"Farmers are not the army, and there are no military orders and laws in the farmers. The most important thing for the army is absolute obedience. Military orders are like mountains and military laws are ruthless. Only in this way can the army become a true collective."
"But look at Xiakui, the people here are all big farmers. Judging from their attitudes, you can tell that they won't listen too much to me, a nobody, and I can't do anything to them."
"I can neither issue military orders nor enforce military laws. If I issue a military order, I will hand over my life in vain."
"How do I stand?"
After listening to Han Xin's explanation...or rather complaint, Tian Yan frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Do you want to take over the power of life and death?"
Han Xin replied unceremoniously, "It doesn't matter if you come up with ideas. If you need me, you can bring them up. But if you want me to guarantee my life with my head, you must give me the real power to control the army!"
"Otherwise...I can't make any promises."
After Han Xin said this, the people who had seen his joke before were no longer happy. On the contrary, Chen Sheng of the Zhu family showed a smile.
They still have a certain degree of trust in Han Xin and are happy to see him truly take power.
Tian Yan remained as calm as ever. Not only did he not respond to Han Xin in a hurry, he also teased Tian Zhong, who looked much more ugly:
"Master Tian Zhong, it's really surprising that such a person can appear in your Gonggong Hall."
Tian Yan said this with a smile, but to Tian Zhong's ears it was obvious that he was not praising him.
Tian Zhong, who rarely gets angry, had to stand up and express his attitude with fierce words:
"How presumptuous! No matter how big or small you are, who are you? How dare you ask Xia Kui for the power of life and death of 100,000 peasant brothers!"
Han Xin innocently spread his hands and replied, "I don't want it. I just mentioned the conditions for establishing a military order."
This is not a forced purchase or sale, just don’t give it if you think it’s inappropriate!
Tian Yan shouted loudly at this time, "I give you this power!"
Everyone in the farmhouse was shocked when they heard this. They all looked at Tian Yan, but saw that she had a serious look on her face. It was obvious that she was not joking.
Han Xin was very calm about this. He knew from the beginning that he would definitely get the military order, and that the power of life and death would definitely be his.
"Ah...Xia Kui, really..."
Tian Hu subconsciously wanted to dissuade Tian Yan, but the latter raised his hand to block his words.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tian Yan approached Han Xin and said in a deep voice, "From now on, you will be transferred to Lieshan Hall and work beside me. No one can touch you except me!"
"Thank you Xiakui." Han Xin bowed and bowed without emotion and replied.
Tian Yan then looked at Tian Zhong, "In these extraordinary times, please forgive me for crossing the line and being rude, Master Tian Zhong."
Each of the six halls has a high degree of autonomy. As a leader of heroes, Tian Yan should not just ask the disciples of Gonggong Hall over with just a word.
So she said it was urgent to follow the authority.
In fact, she had many things to do when she was in power. For example, according to the rules of the farm, Xia Kui could not serve as the leader of the Sixth Hall, but she still continued to be in charge of Lieshan Hall.
In comparison, being an individual is insignificant.
Tian Zhong did not dare to hold it, and hurriedly saluted and replied, "Xia Kui's words are serious, and everyone in the Gonggong Hall will obey your orders."
Tian Yan then looked at the other hall masters, first of all the Zhu family:
"Does the Zhu Family Hall Master think my arrangement is appropriate?"
The Zhu family had no problem, so they nodded and replied, "I agree."
"Where is Hall Master Chen Sheng?" Tian Yan then looked at the next person.
Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang looked at each other, crossed their arms and nodded, "We have no objection."
The two of them agreed, so there was no need to ask Tian Yan for her own opinions. She directly announced:
"In this case, from now on, the one hundred thousand disciples of the farmer's family will treat Han Xin as if they were a knight. They will obey his orders and will not disobey!"
"Well..." Tian Yan then looked at Tian Hu, "The master of Chi You Hall will be the executioner. If anyone disobeys the order and makes any unauthorized move, you will personally execute him!"
In the end, Tian Yan still did not truly hand over the power of life and death to Han Xin - in the eyes of others, this was reasonable, since she had given Han Xin enough power anyway.
Upon hearing that he could still be assigned to a key position, Tian Hu immediately responded with a smile, "Okay! This job is suitable for me!"
"Please be honest and don't mess with Tai Sui!"
Tian Yan looked at Han Xin at this time, "Is your military order okay now?"
"Of course." Han Xin shrugged and replied, "With power, you can naturally take on responsibilities."
"I have another request." Tian Yan followed.
"any request?"
"You should be very clear that the farmers cannot sustain this war for too long." Tian Yan explained, "You cannot fail, let alone delay it for too long."
Han Xin understood immediately, nodded confidently and replied, "I understand... no problem!"
"In three days at most, everything will be clear. Xia Kui can wait and see."
If everything goes well, he can completely defeat the armor-piercing soldiers in three days.
And if it doesn't go well and Wang Li can't be defeated in three days, the chance of winning this battle will be very slim.
No matter what, we will see the outcome in three days.
Of course, if he failed unfortunately, Han Xin would definitely not obey the military order and die, but would run away decisively.
He doesn't even get a salary of several hundred yuan a month, so why are he risking his life?
After receiving Han Xin's promise, Tian Yan pursed his lips and smiled, "Very good! I hope you won't disappoint me, let alone us... our 100,000 farmer brothers."
"Of course." Han Xin replied with clasped hands.
Watching this scene, Liu Ji lowered his head and whispered to the Zhu family:
"Is this guy going through the roof, or is he just on the wrong side of things?"
Zhu Jia stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Well, probably all."
"...or maybe neither." Thinking of Han Xin's mysterious origin, the Zhu family added another sentence.
Liu Ji couldn't understand this yes and no answer, but at least he could tell that the Zhu family didn't think Han Xin's situation was very good, so he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing in a low voice:
"Oh my god! Our eldest lady is so mean. She wants to hold on to this guy's life and make him work for her. He still has to work hard!"
Probably because he heard Liu Ji talking about him, Han Xin suddenly said, "Xia Kui, brother Liu Ji has contributed a lot to this plan. I recommend him to be the herald."
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled. He walked up to Han Xin and patted his shoulder with a chuckle, "That's right, you haven't forgotten me, brother!"
Although the herald officer is not comparable to Tian Hu's executioner, he is still a serious errand and can show his face well in front of many farm brothers.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Liu Ji.
Han Xin's next words immediately let Liu Ji know that there are not so many free pies in the sky.
"He dares to join me in establishing a military order."
The smile on Liu Ji's face froze for an instant, and was replaced by widened eyes, "Hey! You...where are you from!?"
He grabbed Han Xin's collar and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. This is not something you can just joke about!"
However, Tian Yan did not give him a chance to continue to argue, and directly said decisively:
"Brother Liu Ji, well done. I hope all the disciples in the Sixth Hall can have your determination to win."
"I have no objection to your arrangement."
She said the last sentence to Han Xin.
"It's okay for me... Miss... ah no, Xiakui!" Liu Ji's expression was distorted, but he couldn't say the word of rejection after all.
Liu Ji is also a decent person, how can he give in at this time?
Besides, even if he wanted to, Tian Yan might not let him...
Things are really changing. Just now I was laughing at this silly boy for letting Tian Yan set him up, but in the blink of an eye he was also being set up... Liu Ji wailed in his heart.
At this time, the smile on Liu Ji's face had quietly transferred to Tian Zhong and Situ Wanli's face.
Sure enough, the smile will not disappear, it will only move back and forth.
With a slumped face, Liu Ji secretly gouged Han Xin with his fierce eyes, wishing he could scratch him with his eyes.
Han Xin didn't care at all, and immediately assigned Liu Ji an important job - communicating with the disciples of the Sixth Hall.
For the disciples of the Sixth Hall, Long Qie and others were too unfamiliar. They had to have someone they truly trusted to help the two parties communicate and truly form an integrated army... even though it was only a preliminary form.
Before the battle between Xiakui, Liu Ji was quite happy in the farmhouse, because he didn't completely break up with each other, and even with the Tian family clan leader, Liu Ji was somewhat popular.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is perfect to leave this matter to him.
There were basically no problems in the entire communication process. With the empire as a unified enemy, the peasant disciples quickly reached an agreement with the old generals of Chu State.
The only exception is Zhong Limei.
Some peasant disciples knew his identity as an imperial officer.
The war with the Empire is about to begin, and it should even be said that the war has already begun. It is naturally unacceptable for an Imperial officer to lead them.
Even Liu Ji didn't know how to help Zhong Limei.
Fortunately, although Zhong Limei has been unlucky since he came to Daze Mountain, he never lacks luck at the most critical moment.
He received help from a 'noble man', and it wasn't the first time that someone helped him.
This 'noble person' is naturally the woman among the villagers who was first rescued by Zhong Limei - Meng Jiang.
As someone who lives around Daze Mountain, she, the villagers and many farm disciples are familiar with him. With them standing up to vouch for Zhong Limei, the issue of the status of an imperial officer was finally suppressed for the time being.
At this point, the four armies of Fenglinhuoshan were officially integrated and ready for battle.
Han Xin, who issued a three-day military order, wasted no time and immediately ordered four groups of troops to dispatch.
He is going to conduct a probing attack.
It was not only to test the combat effectiveness of the imperial army and evaluate how many peasant disciples needed to be filled in, but also to confuse Wang Li and the others.
The situation in the war in Daze Mountain has actually deviated greatly from Han Xin's initial expectations, and many unexpected situations have emerged.
However, it has to be said that most of these accidents are not bad things, so he adjusted his plan and chose a more aggressive style of play.
Although it increases the risk a lot, it also increases the farmer's chance of victory.
High risk, high reward.
If you choose a safe play style, your winning rate will be lower, but you may have more room for maneuver, but this does not mean much to Han Xin.
