In the early morning, everything on the earth had just been sprinkled with a golden touch by the rising sun, and the mountains and forests were covered with a faint mist, making the world look bleak and silent.

Suddenly, "One, one, two, one, two, three, four!" The shouts from far to near broke the tranquility of the morning and echoed in the fields.

Meng Jiucheng ran in the front. As time passed, the team gradually grew longer and longer, and the slogans gradually became messy. Most of the soldiers were sweating profusely and panting.

It is necessary to practice running, and there are many times when you compete for your feet in the future! In any case, the main force in the future will be infantry. How can you not practice running?

As the distance extended, the soldiers' breathing became more and more rapid. Huff, Huff..." The sound of crazy gasping filled his ears and continued; and the originally neat queue had become sparse, almost twice as long as it was at the beginning.

Because of the relationship between roads and transportation at that time, most of the people had good feet, working, traveling, markets, etc., which basically depended on step-by-step. Therefore, although the troops could reach the current level, they still had to improve, they also satisfied Meng Jiucheng.

Finally, they returned to the military camp. The soldiers fell to the ground as if they had seen Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering. Most of them were gasping for breath and sweating, and finally they could be relieved.

When the people were almost back, Meng Jiucheng shouted loudly: "Look at what you are now, a bunch of candids, bear eggs, are you still men? My army only has warriors, don't be cowards, and you will have this kind of training every day in the future. Give you fifteen days. If anyone can't endure hardship or bear the crime, get out of the military camp as soon as possible. Do you all understand wherever you come from?"

At this time, Sanming directed people to carry the steaming food up.

Regardless of the soldiers staring at the food, their eyes were like wolves. Meng Jiucheng continued to yell: "Fifteen days later, a grand competition for the whole army will be held to openly select officers at all levels. Now - the meal will be started."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who were exhausted immediately shouted and rushed to the food squad, but were scolded by the officers and soldiers who maintained order. "I have been queuing up, and I have taught me many times, but I am still not very good at remembering it. If I rob you again, I will be hungry."

Meng Jiucheng looked at it coldly for a while. The veterans abide by the rules. The new recruits gradually adapted to it under the scolding. Then they walked aside and lined up to get food.

Although it is said that officers and soldiers should be equal, it cannot be absolutely equal. In terms of food, officers and soldiers are still somewhat different. This is in line with the hierarchy concept at that time and has a certain incentive effect.

Although the guy in front, Meng Jiucheng, was not in a hurry, he also complained that Qiao E had no wink and was eager to stand like a black tower, and he didn't know how to give him the highest commander.

According to the information, the enemy may come at noon today. Of course, it is not ruled out that it will be delayed and you will not arrive later.

Meng Jiucheng has already made preparations. Morning running is just a routine training and the amount of exercise has been greatly reduced. On the surface, the Red Turban Army did not take the enemy seriously at all. While stabilizing the morale of the army, it also showed strong confidence.

However, the combat plan has been adjusted. Since the enemy's main force has been fully exerted and defeated in one battle, the rest is to destroy and sweep the surroundings. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng decided to play a simple game, using the most important tactics - blocking the head, ambush, breaking the tail, and attacking from all sides.

Mu Yi led a thousand men and horses to take dry food before dawn and set off quietly. He went to the ambush site to arrange the site and waited invisibly. When he saw the wolf smoke signal, he rushed in and out, cut off the enemy's retreat route and launched a siege.

Meng Jiucheng is just doing it. Although his troops are not large, he can rely on established positions to fight, use heavy weapons to kill and attract the enemy's attention, and create more favorable conditions for Mu Yi's siege.

In other words, Meng Jiucheng felt that although the weapons he currently possessed were sharp, he still had no strength to win in field battles, especially against the Jin and Mongolian troops with a large number of cavalry. Therefore, he did not dare to be arrogant because of these weapons.

After receiving the meal, Meng Jiucheng avoided Qiao E who was terrified of eating and returned to the tent, thinking while eating.

There is no big problem in defeating Zhou Sangui, but what will Liu Wenzheng and Liu Tingyu react? Meng Jiucheng has thought about it, but he still dare not be very sure.

Meng Jiucheng's judgment was based on the general trend of history and speculated about the thoughts of these guys who took advantage of the chaos. Liu Wenzheng and Zhou Sangui are similar, and they are local tyrants. The landlords unite themselves and organize armed forces in order to protect themselves.

Based on this idea, we naturally put the safety of our family and property first, and we have few ambitions, let alone any firmness. We are all fence-bearers, and if we want to be able to get along with each other, we will not dare to make a big noise, so we will not dare to make a big noise.

As for the current situation, although the Jin army's counterattack has won many times, it is too early to say that the Red Coat Army has been defeated. Meng Jiucheng believes that Liu Wenzheng does not want to act rashly, and he has to wait and see the trend and take the opportunity to make profits. Therefore, for Meng Jiucheng's rise, his most likely countermeasure is to win over and prevent, just like the nobles on Wednesday.

As for Liu Tingyu, his goal may be greater, which is control of the entire county. Similarly, he was also watching, watching the victory or defeat of the Jin army and the Red Coat Army in order to decide on the outcome.

Moreover, although he was not the main force or elite who sent him to fight, his strength was also affected to a certain extent. If he wanted to make a difference in the county in the future, or even gained a position from the Jin Dynasty by relying on his strength, he would not easily move troops.

In fact, this is also an important factor in Meng Jiucheng's daring to take action at this time. Everyone hopes to be calm and wait for the situation to become clearer. There will be no big reaction to Meng Jiucheng's replacement of Zhou Sangui.

Of course, Meng Jiucheng also had to show a certain attitude, making them think that Meng Jiucheng was forced to fight with Zhou Sanguihuo, and had no intention of challenging other forces.

Meng Jiucheng only needs one to two months of buffering time. Even if Liu Wenzheng and Liu Tingyu are not enemies with him, he will act again. This is the difference between vision and ideal. Meng Jiucheng will not be satisfied with several towns, nor with one or two counties, nor with both ends of the rat. His steps forward are unswerving.

After finishing the meal, Meng Jiucheng also read all his thoughts again. He felt that he was quite sure, so he leaned on the chair obliquely and closed his eyes to rest. It was not until his personal guard Han Changsheng came in to report that he got up and put on his clothes, walked out of the tent, and led the team to set off.
