"Did your good nephew teach me?"

"Uncle, do you have a map?"

A mysterious feeling filled his heart. He didn't know why, but whenever war was involved, Zuo Mengeng felt very excited, and various ideas emerged one after another, and he was full of confidence.

Liu Yuanqing quickly brought the map and spread it in front of Zuo Mengeng.

The maps of the Ming Dynasty, even military maps, were too rough to look at.

But it's enough.

"Uncle may not know that although the bandits are powerful, their ranks are scattered and they go their own way, unable to form a joint force."

The civil unrest in Jifu in the first year of Chongzhen was caused by drought and locust plagues that made people miserable. When countless hungry people had their families destroyed and their lives lost, they acted spontaneously in order to survive.

Although the White Lotus Sect was instigating and guiding them, Xu Hongru's rebellion a few years ago severely damaged the White Lotus Sect's vitality and was unable to completely take over the chaos.

This can be seen from the horse bandits that Zuo Mengeng and others encountered before.

In order to deal with the government and the army, bandits from all walks of life gathered together, but they were very strange to each other and no one was convinced by the other.

This will create a situation that is beneficial to Liu Yuanqing.

That is, no matter what the situation is, the bandits cannot accurately grasp it.

This gave Zuo Mengeng an opportunity to use his tactics.

Combining the information provided by Liu Yuanqing, Zuo Mengeng began to formulate ideas.

"Qingxian County fell to the rebels, and the troops from Tianjin Guards and Hejian Prefecture went to reinforce it. Cangzhou Prefecture was frightened overnight and could only defend the city. They did not dare to come out and had no hope. But the arrangements of the rebels for the imperial court were impossible.

You know, this is our starting point."

Liu Yuanqing just wants to survive now.

"My dear nephew, just tell us what we should do."

Zuo Mengeng took the lead.

"There are now more than 7,000 bandits in Nanpi County. It is impossible for us with more than 1,000 people to attack the city."

If it is a field battle between the officers and the army, they can easily attack the rebels with one thousand against ten thousand. But if it is an siege, it is impossible to succeed.

"For the current plan, we must deceive the bandits from the city."

Seeing that the generals were ignorant, Zuo Mengeng was unable to complain about the quality of the Ming army.

"The rebels only thought that there was no army nearby, but what if Deng Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of Baoding, and Hei Yunlong, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, came? What if Dezhou in the south also sent troops north?"

A person of ethics felt that Zuo Mengeng was having a whim.

"How can the officers and soldiers from Baoding Prefecture and Xuan Prefecture come? It will be extremely troublesome for Shandong soldiers to cross the border to suppress bandits."

Zuo Mengeng smiled.

"We know about this, but do the bandits know about it?"

This question made everyone scream in surprise.

Everyone has made a common-sense mistake, that is, treating illiterate bandits and officials the same.

In fact, for ordinary people, they really don't know how the government works, but they don't know why.

All officials know that if they want to mobilize troops from Baoding Prefecture and Xuan Prefecture to quell the rebellion in Cangzhou Prefecture, they will be delayed for a long time. If troops are mobilized from Dezhou, Shandong across provinces, there will be no two or three months to complete the paperwork.

Less than.

But how do ordinary people know this?

"The rioters are defending the city, and we have nothing to do. But if we disguise ourselves as troops from Baoding, Xuan, and Dezhou Prefectures and come from three sides, will the rioters still dare to defend the county?"

Zuo Mengeng's insight into the picture opened everyone's eyes.

Liu Qingyuan stared blankly at the confident and high-spirited Zuo Mengeng, and then thought about the bastards in his family who were just waiting to die, and he had mixed feelings.
