Luo Zhixue's strategy of elite troops was also recognized by Sun Chengli. He was in charge of the baggage, but he knew very well how much baggage it would take to bring thousands of refugees. He also understood that the reason for their ability to break out this time was because of their decisiveness before.

He dismissed the refugee soldiers and took only more than a hundred elite cavalry with him, so that he could escape from the encirclement and suppression by the official army.

If it was not wise to hold on to those more than a thousand refugees and soldiers, they would have been wiped out by the army as early as Yiyang.

The only solution now is not to recruit refugee soldiers while running as in the past to strengthen the army, but to find a place to take a breath and then find a way to expand the size of the elite army.

Of course, before that, we must first win over the sentries of the Guards Corps. With their support, we can better launch the follow-up plan, or else we can only rely on Sun Chengcheng and the dozen or so people to do it.

Nothing happens.

After Sun Chengli and Luo Zhixue had a detailed discussion, they tentatively finalized the plan, and then Sun Chengli took Luo Zhixue directly to find the sentry officers in the Guards Corps.

If you want to rise to the top, it is very important to obtain the support of the sentry officers in these janissaries.

In the process of persuasion, Luo Zhixue actually didn't put in much effort. It was mainly Sun Chengli who persuaded people to talk about his heart, from his past experiences to his current escape, and then made various promises.

Moreover, Sun Chengli also kept his attitude low, looking for talents and treating everyone as real brothers. Every bite is an elder brother, and every bite is a brother. If I eat with one bite, I will definitely not be without the brother's bite.

meal.

"I, Sun Mazi, don't have much ability, but I, Sun Mazi, know that we are all brothers, and we share the blessings and hardships together. Now I have no other ideas. I just want to lead my brothers to survive and have enough to eat.

!”

Seeing Sun Chengcheng's appearance, Luo Zhixue almost thought that Li Tonglin had come back from the dead.

This style and tone are obviously a copy of Li Tonglin.

Obviously, Sun Chengli is now learning, or deliberately imitating, what Li Tonglin did.

Not to mention, several sentry officers of the Guards still did this.

If Sun Chengcheng comes over and acts like I am the boss and you all have to listen to me, there is no chance that people will turn around and vote for Fei Bingcai or Dao Scar.

But now Sun Chengli looks like we are all brothers and we will enjoy hot and spicy food together in the future. This reminds these sentry officers of Li Tonglin.

When they followed Li Tonglin in the past, they did not dare to say that they were rich and powerful, and they even went hungry sometimes. But just like what Li Tonglin often said, Li Tonglin's food was never less than theirs.

Now Sun Chengli is also doing this, but at least he has gained a lot of goodwill from these people.

As for Sun Chengcheng, he is deliberately pretending now. After he became the leader, he turned against others and refused to recognize others. He enjoyed the popular food and drank spicy food, but left his brothers hungry.

There is nothing to worry about. Sun Chengli really dares to do this. It’s not like he doesn’t have a knife in his hand. He just goes back and chops him randomly and then chooses a leader.

These days, no one should take themselves too seriously.

After Sun Chengli pulled through all the drama about how they were all brothers, Sun Chengli revealed the follow-up plan that he and Luo Zhixue had discussed, saying that now they needed to adopt a strategy of elite troops instead of coercing a large number of young refugees.

That set.

After getting rid of the officers and soldiers completely, we were going to take everyone to find a remote village to take a breather.

Just listen to Sun Chengli say: "Brothers have been fighting in the north and south in the past few months, running from Shanxi to Shanxi and then to Henan. They have been chased by the army."

"In the past, it seemed that I had recruited a thousand people at the most, and even went to Luoyang City to see the scenery for a while. But have you ever thought that before, the big guy had almost two hundred brothers, but now, the full number is only seventy

There are so many people!”

"If we continue to do what we did before, I'm afraid all of us old brothers will die..."

"Why did we mutiny in the first place? Why did we go against the officers and soldiers? It was not just to survive. What can we do in the future if our lives are gone?"

"So, we still have to be steady!"

"First find a place to hide and avoid the current limelight."

The sentry officers nodded frequently after listening to these, and among them the older, middle-aged sentry officer Lin said: "Brother Sun is right!"

At this time, Luo Zhixue also spoke at the right time: "Looking at the land of Shaanxi, Henan and Chu today, there is Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengtao stationed troops in Shaanxi, practiced state affairs and stationed in Shangnan, Lu Xiang advanced troops to Yunyang, Xuanmo guarded the Lu family,

Tang Hui garrisoned Nanzhang, with more than 100,000 officers and soldiers."

"Under the encirclement and suppression by more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, the Northern Chu Rebel Army has become a trapped beast. It may take at least ten months or more than a few months for the Northern Chu Rebel Army to be defeated and flee, and be forced to return to the Qinling Mountains."

Luo Zhixue took out a simple hand-drawn map while talking.

Looking at this map from the perspective of future generations, this so-called map cannot be regarded as a map at all, but more like a child's graffiti.

There is no way, Luo Zhixue is not a living map, nor is he a good painter. He can only memorize a rough map and draw it.

However, although Luo Zhixue's hand-drawn map is relatively crude, it still briefly draws the Shaanxi, Henan, and Chubei areas, and also briefly marks the general directions of big cities such as Luoyang and Xiangyang...

Luo Zhixue, who pointed at the map, continued: "Generals, let's take a look at Henan where we are. After many days of collecting information from students, we have initially determined that there are heavy troops led by Xuanmo himself to garrison the Lu family in the west, and there are Lu in the north.

Zuoliangyu garrisoned Xin'an, Yiyang front line, Chen Zhibang garrisoned Ruzhou in the east, and Chen Yongfu garrisoned Nanyang in the south. Looking around, there are officers and soldiers everywhere!"

Having said this, Luo Zhixue raised his head and looked around: "Let's not talk about the overall situation of the world, let's talk about us. In fact, we have already been deeply surrounded by the government and the army."

"We have been trapped in a heavy siege for a long time? How is this possible?" Immediately, the sentry officer Wang Dazhuang shouted softly.

Because they don't seem to be surrounded now. They have been running to Luoyang for half a month. Now they are a little down, but they can't be said to be surrounded by the army. If they die, they will be chased by the army.

Just running.

As for Zuo Liangyu, Chen Zhibang, Chen Yongfu and others all know about it, and in recent times, their group has basically been fought by the army from Henan.

Even a few hours ago, they were still fighting with the cavalry under Chen Zhibang's command.

However, when he followed Luo Zhixue's instructions and confirmed the locations of these groups of officers and soldiers and himself on the map, he remained silent for a long time.

Sun Chengcheng, who was on the side, looked at the positions of the surrounding officers and soldiers on the map, and looked at their positions, his face gradually became unsightly.

Short and thin sentry officer Wang Dazhuang looked at Luo Zhixue, then at Sun Chengli and couldn't help shouting: "Are we really surrounded from all sides?"

Even people who don't understand military affairs can easily see from the map that their group has been surrounded by government troops on all sides.

Subsequently, Zuo Liangyu sent troops south to pursue, but he only compressed the encirclement step by step.

And I have to say that Zuo Liangyu was quite successful. He directly forced Li Tonglin to lead his army south. He was also forced to actively demobilize the refugee soldiers on the way, and finally forced Li Tonglin and his group to Ruzhou. At this time, Chen Zhibang was well prepared.

Intercept while waiting for work.

In this way, there was a breakout battle a few hours ago and the death of Li Tonglin came about.

According to this situation, if Sun Cheng, Luo Zhixue and others do not make changes in the future, and continue to recruit soldiers and plunder food and land like Li Tonglin, it will take at least ten days and a half, and no more than a few months, and sooner or later they will be trapped by the army.

He died in Ruzhou area.

What's even more interesting is that what Luo Zhixue didn't say was that the officers and soldiers really didn't mean to surround them...the officers and soldiers were all staring at the large-scale rebel army led by Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other big thieves.

This series of military deployments are also aimed at encircling and suppressing large-scale rebels.

As for their group, there were only a thousand people at their peak, and at their most prosperous, they did not go around the outside of Luoyang City and robbed a few farms.

A small-scale rebel army like theirs could be easily found in hundreds or eighty groups. They were one of the countless rebel armies in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for the Ming army to mobilize tens of thousands of main troops just to encircle and suppress a few thousand bandits.

The strategic goal of the officers and soldiers is huge. They want to encircle the area from all sides and directly encircle and wipe out all the rebels in this area.

And this group of them is just one of the countless miscellaneous fish caught in the net by the government and army.

But, there is no need to say these words to them, at least it can give people some confidence...

Luo Zhixue nodded immediately: "Yes, in fact, I was deeply surrounded by the army a month ago..." At this point, Luo Zhixue slightly turned his head and glanced at Sun Chengli: "And Brother Sun discovered this incident of the army.

After the conspiracy, we decided to stop all activities and try to hide it for the future."

After hearing this, Sun Chengli glanced at Luo Zhixue, then nodded slightly and said: "There are officers and soldiers around here. We must not be stupid and fight head-on with the officers and soldiers. Our brothers' lives are precious, how can we throw them away casually?

In the wilderness of the barren mountains, even if I die, my grandson will have to fight his way back to Yulin and lie down in his ancestral grave, but he cannot die outside."

"So, it's better to avoid the limelight and stay steady."

One of the three sentry officers, the short and thin Wang Dazhuang, said: "It seems that our situation is not good. There are Zuo Liangyu's elite cavalry in the north, Chen Zhibang is entangled in the side, and Chen Yongfu is in the south. Their subordinates

The soldiers are not easy to deal with. According to me, it is still the same as what Brother Sun said. Let’s avoid the limelight first.”

Xu He, who looks majestic and strong and looks like a middle-aged honest man, also has a heavy expression: "Steady, steady, good!"

Lin Dongsheng, the slightly older sentry officer, even said: "We don't have many people now anyway. Just find a village in the mountains and it will be enough for us to eat and drink. We don't have to go out to fight against those big cities and the officers and soldiers."

, let’s just hide in the ravines for a while, those officers and soldiers can’t ask for trouble and go all the way into the mountains to surround us.”

After listening to the words of these three people, Luo Zhixue and Sun Chengli looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
