More than ten days after that, Kou Zhong was so busy that he barely had any time to sleep, not only to try to understand the Shao Shuai State’s administrative, economic, and all aspects of people’s livelihood – issues, he also wanted to train the Shao Shuai Arhters, plus he atteuards like Li shi+min’s Black Armor Warriors; naturally he fully busy

These 500 soldiers were selected not only by whether they had the physical requirements, but first, they must not have any problem with loyalty Therefore, the vasthis forons ar’s disciples [actually, the text here is Ju Jing Bang, ‘jing’ – whale, ‘kun’ – ical beast (I think I translated it as Leviathan before); perhaps Huang Yi forgot?], and the roup of men not only had hu’s way

Those who ca Jun had already received thei’an, they were never slacking off in training, evenmartial art skill, on loyalty aspect, they were beyond doubt They were like Kou Zhong’s disciples who beca’s ’s systeoing through troops disposition in battle for a long ti, they were adept in the way of boating and naval warfare

Men frorated into the personal troops’ unit, they brought together various for put his heart and soul into grooh their number is s gave the was not a selfish person, he illing to pass on everything he learned froenerals under his command, such as the technique to train the horse and to ride the horse, the secret to observe the sky and exa; he taught theenerals, based on their individual talents and passions, understood Naturally they reaped not a few benefits, as a result, the quality of the reatly ijin, Ren Meiyi, Zha Jie, Chen Jiafeng, Xie Jue, and the others, ere scattered around the country and orking hard to build the Shao Shuai State, rushed back one after another to Liangdu to see Kou Zhong Toward Kou Zhong, they had so that the situation was dangerous, they still believe fir had the ability to reverse the rotation of the sky, vaguely unaware that Kou Zhong himself was anxious whether the Shao Shuai Arliang, another pleasant surprise aiting for hilin’s supervision, the shi+pbuilders that they recruited fro Faram and ht ‘flywheel’-powered fast warshi+p Each flywheel boat could carry fifty warriors, who used their legs to manually operated the paddles on the circular wheel mounted on the aft of the boat The speed of the boat was far better than wind-powered speedboats, plus it could reatly enhancing the Shao Shuai Army’s combat capability on the water

On the upper deck, the flywheel boat was equipped with crossbow ainedfro fire arrows continuously at a target over fifty zhang away TheQue sent Without them, even if Lu Miaozi was reborn, he would not be able towar machine in just a short period of one year

As for other equipment, such as for city defense, for battle on the open field, for assaulting a fortified position, and so on, it was si’s greatest strength was, si of people and their strong points The difference was that Li shi+ under a yoke in all respects, while Kou Zhong had a free hand in his action, plus he had strong and solid financial resources, talents and goods, which was also backed by Song Que’s endless support Moreover, a just cause enjoys abundant support [idio justice will find help all around], such as fro, ere ready to do their utmost to lend a hand in all aspects

This day, Kou Zhong was listening to Luo Qifei’s report in the main hall of the Shao Shuai Mansion The latter was the Shao Shuai Arence Officer, an expert in exploration and intelligence about the enehtness skill was first-class

Also present was Chen Changlin, Chen Lao casually asked him about the deployment of his reconnaissance network, Luo Qifei replied, “The reconnaissance technique that Xiashu [subordinate/underling] e, with land and water as secondary technique”

Greatly interested, Kou Zhong asked, “Cruising, I can ine, but what is ‘land and water’? What does it have to do with reconnaissance?”

Luo Qifei replied, “Land and water is a code word in reconnaissance If cruising is a reconnaissance style that is mobile, active, not fixed to certain time, then land and water is deployment that is static, passive, and fixed to a certain time In the past, Xiashu primarily used this technique, with the other as secondary How to use land and water, Xiashu can give an example, Shaoshuai will understand For example, the major road on the mountaintop is filled with fine sand to make it flat, which has to be inspected every day, to be swept clean and flat Asas we observe the printed impression on the sandy soil, we’ll kno rope in the dark and move stealthily, they still cannot hide frohed and said, “That was the technique used by Pengliang Bang to deal with other gangs and societies, which was transferred and is beinga sidelong glance at Chen Laos and societies are just like that! Only Meiht that today, unexpectedly I continuously giving’s heart Doing good things always hed and said, “This land and water , those who don’t know the fact will definitely be fooled However, this method can only be used under special circumstances, fixed-point detection of the enemy is a must; but how about unfixed-point detection?”

Luo Qifei replied, “There are three : the first one is reconnaissance, including going deep inside the ene all kinds of tricks to spy on the enemy’s situation; the second one is the transmission of the information, bythe information back at certain day and certain time, let the specialist collect and analyze the data, and then pass it on to the relevant depart has spent a lot physical and mental efforts, otherwise it would not be as comprehensive as it is today The third one is to capture alive and ask for infor a prisoner alive, and then carry out torture to force confession This is to obtain information that cannot be seen from the outside via crafty method”

The words ‘torture to force confession’ re of the cruel, by hook or by crook – nature of war;Yin Zuwen’s ‘Seven Needles to Control the Mind’ He secretly thought that if one of the great generals under his command fell into Yin Zuwen’s hands, he definitely would not be able to endure this torture; therefore, if he had the chance, he had to kill this person first

Kou Zhong’s heart was anxious for Luoyang’s situation This metropolis, one of the three famous cities with the ry ocean, it could capsize any moment Thereupon he inquired about Hulao’s situation

Luo Qifei replied, “Zhu Ji had just suffered a big defeat fro access to Luoyang’s southern road has been co, fell into the ene on the eastern road, which Hulao relies mainly on, is still under his banner The situation is not too opti, “I should say it’s very critical Naturally wang shi+chong knew Hulao’s significance; he sent the Crown Prince wang Xuanying with ly defend Hulao Li shi+ji is aof the art of war, he knew he must not immediately capture Hulao by force, hence he adopted a roundabout tactics They scheainst various cities in the vicinity first, in order to isolate Hulao, toLi shi+ji appeared to becity southeast of Hulao”

Inwardly Kou Zhong sighed for wang Xuanying, who could be considered without any hope; how could he be Li shi+ji’s ?”

Luo Qifei replied, “Guancheng’s defending general is Guo Qing, for Arood relationshi+p with Li shi+ji After Wagang Ar shi+chong”

His countenance changed, Kou Zhong said, “With wang shi+chong’s paranoid character, how could heto deal with his old colleague Li shi+ji?”

Luo Qifei replied, “wang shi+chong has his secret trouble First of all, Guo Qing is a Laiyangand Guancheng, himself he has several thousand disciple’s troops For this reason, wang shi+chong wanted to win over hihter] inthat this relationshi+p ork for hi”

S benefit at the forefront, how effective can a political business deal, buying and selling styleis done for, I will be surprised if the other defending generals of Rongyang, Zhengzhou, are not surrendering! No one is willing to throw their life in for wang shi+chong, father and son If the defending general of Hulao is Yang Gongqing, naturally it will be a different situation”

Luo Qifei said, “Rongyang’s defending general is Wei Lu, Zhengzhou’s defending general is wang Yaohan and Zhang Cibao, Xiashu is not too clear how loyal are Wei Lu and wang Yaohan toang shi+chong, whether they are willing to die for wang shi+chong? However, since they obtained wang shi+chong’s trust, naturally they are notCibao, he has folloang shi+chong for many years, in term of loyalty, there shouldn’t be any problehed and said, “We will know the outco ca’s boat has arrived at the dock outside Liangdu
