Chapter 1106: Fight or Not

Wu Fan returned to the city and went straight to his residence. Although he was now the magistrate of Qingyuan County, he was still used to running to his residence.

"How are those people under Ran Guang doing?" Wu Fan asked Xu Dashan.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Wu Fan called Peng Jun, Xu Dashan, Tang San, Niu Er and Niu Er.

Wu Fan handed over the captured people under Ran Guang to Xu Dashan. Xu Dashan had been Ran Guang's subordinate before. He was familiar with those in Ran Guang's force and had prestige. He was responsible for capturing the prisoners. The processing is more convenient and easier.

Of course, this also shows Wu Fan's trust in Xu Dashan. Otherwise, he would directly hand over Ran Guang's prisoners to others to divide them up, instead of letting Xu Dashan handle them alone.

"Sir, most of the prisoners are willing to surrender to us. I selected those who can fight among them to join the team. The others will return to civilian status like those who are unwilling to surrender." Xu Dashan He replied: "In addition, I have punished some people who usually have bad tempers and cruel actions."

After all, Xu Dashan was one of Ran Guang's four guardians before. Although Ran Guang didn't give him too much power and trust, his status was definitely not lower than others. He came forward to solicit surrender, and many were willing to surrender.

But Wu Fan had explained before that they wanted not all those who were willing to surrender. Those who were old, weak, sick and disabled were obviously not suitable for the battlefield. Even if they were willing to join the army with them, they could not accept them. Xu Dashan was obviously cautious. I remembered Wu Fan’s explanation.

Among the rebels, not everyone is a good person. It can even be said that many people among the rebels have turned evil. Wu Fan will not be soft on such people. He does not want such people to pollute him. team.

"Well done." Wu Fan nodded and said: "What you have to do now is to train them according to the standards of a regular army. You don't have to worry about food, weapons and equipment. I will provide these. I hope you can train an elite team.”

"Yes, sir." Xu Dashan responded with cupped hands.

"How are you two doing over there?" Wu Fan looked at Niu Er and Peng Jun and asked.

Although the last operation to encircle and suppress Ran Guang's forces went smoothly, Qingyuan County itself also suffered casualties, and there must be an explanation for the casualties.

"Back to your lord, we have completed the pension work for all the wounded and wounded soldiers. According to your instructions, we will never let them bleed and shed tears." Peng Jun replied.

"Sir, don't worry. We have finished the aftermath work and have not treated anyone badly. Now the other soldiers are eager to go to the battlefield to fight again." Niu Er said.

"You have your chance." Wu Fan smiled, then looked at Tang San and said, "Do you have any news here?"

"Yes." Tang San said neatly: "Zhao Li's forces have moved."

"Oh? Tell me." Wu Fan straightened up and said.

Zhao Li's force is the strongest and largest among the three major rebel forces around Qingyuan County. Although Wu Fan has never taken action against them, he has never stopped monitoring them and collecting intelligence.

"According to the news from my men, when Ran Guang attacked our Qingyuan County, Zhao Li seemed to have received the news. His reorganized army also came towards our Qingyuan County. He probably wanted to He wanted to take advantage of the situation when we and Ran Guang's forces were both defeated. However, he did not expect that we would defeat Ran Guang's forces so quickly. Therefore, he did not continue to attack our Qingyuan County, but instead sent his troops to Qingyuan County. Stationed fifteen miles away from the county seat." Tang San reported the news he had received to Wu Fan.

"Zhao Li knows how to choose the right time." Wu Fan said with a smile: "It's just that it's not easy to make a profit."

Ran Guang could make people monitor Qingyuan County, and Zhao Li would do the same. Therefore, when Ran Guang came to attack Qingyuan County, it was not surprising that Zhao Li got the news.

However, Zhao Li obviously did not expect that Ran Guanglai fell into Wu Fan's trap when he attacked Qingyuan County, so that the battle in Qingyuan County was already over before Zhao Li led his army to Qingyuan County.

Without knowing the actual situation in Qingyuan County, Zhao Li had no choice but to station the team first.

"Then Zhao Li is so brave. He actually wants to take advantage of us. Sir, let's call him directly. We already know where he is anyway. Let's just knock on the door." The bellicose Niu Er couldn't wait to say.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Peng Jun said: "Zhao Li must be somewhat capable if he can become the leader of one of the three major rebel forces around Qingyuan County. He must be on guard against us at this time, so we will fight him. , it is very likely that he will be tricked. Moreover, we have just experienced a battle. General Xu's team suffered some heavy losses, and now we need time to rectify. It is not appropriate to engage in a high-intensity battle at this time. Yes, the number of our troops is not superior to that of Zhao Li. It is not a wise decision to abandon the city defense for field battles. "

"Then we can only be beaten passively? Wait until he is ready to knock on the door?" Niu Er said angrily.

"That's not necessarily the case. As long as the opportunity is right, we can't take the initiative." Peng Jun said.

"Co-author, I've let you tell me the truth and the truth, so let's fight or not." Niu Er said.

"Of course we have to fight, but not at this time." Wu Fan said, "The battlefield is changing rapidly. Different situations lead to different decisions. It is impossible to remain unchanged. Maybe we couldn't fight the day before, but today the situation has changed, so we may not send troops immediately."

Peng Jun looked at Wu Fan with admiration. What Wu Fan said was exactly what he wanted to say.

"I don't understand." Niu Er touched his head and said, "Anyway, I listen to the adults. If the adults say to fight, I will fight. If the adults say not to fight, I will not fight."

If Peng Jun said the same thing, Niu Er might not buy it, but Wu Fan's words would have a different effect.

"You continue to have people keep an eye on Zhao Li and collect more intelligence." Wu Fan said to Tang San.

"Yes, sir."

"Compared to the encirclement and suppression of Zhao Li, I would rather deal with the remnants of Zhou Dalong first." Wu Fan said, looking at Yu Han, who had been slightly bent and respectful, and said, "What do you think?"

Wu Fan did not forget the content of the second task of the second chain that he had triggered.
