"I seem to make a sure profit and lose money..." Chu Yan sneered. Liu Tao gave him a future. Whether this future will happen will only benefit him and not harm him.

But even if this future is realized, he has no reason to surrender to Liu Tao.

"It's okay, I need one anyway, anyway, a reason to let you go." Liu Tao smiled. If Chu Yan was destroyed here, without the trouble of the Black Mountain bandits, even if he could become an official in Shangdang, he would probably not be able to add a military position.

"You are such a strange existence." Chu Yan didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Although I haven't learned the mind reading technique yet..." Liu Tao looked at Chu Yan, "But you will come, right?"

"Who knows?" Chu Yan turned around, "I'm going to take people away, you won't stop me, right?"

"Please feel free to... By the way, I will come to Guangzong in three or four days. I will send someone to give you a batch of food and food supplies." Liu Tao replied.

"Why?" Chu Yan was stunned, a little disbelief.

"In addition to absolute force, you also need to show kindness." Liu Tao looked at Chu Yan, "But you lack this the most."

If it weren't for the lack of food and food, how could Chu Yan have the idea of ​​attacking military food and grass? He knew very well that if he did this, if he didn't do it secretly enough, he would become a thief directly. But the problem is that he had no choice at all...

The two walked out of the forest, and Chu Yan took three or four thousand people under his command and left directly. He did not take away the subordinates who were shot or burned to death. He knew very well that Liu Tao also needed "military achievements".

"The brother is planning to recruit this person? Three or four thousand people, surrounded by 500 crossbowmen, dare not take action. Such a person is really worth winning over?" Zhang Fei looked at the direction where Chu Yan left and complained with a little disdain.

"What will happen to those who used to be the same as us and then came here in a silly manner?" Liu Tao asked back.

"Uh..." Zhang Fei was stunned and finally realized.

In the past, the enemies who directly fought directly with the advantage of numbers either collapsed or stayed there. On the side of the army, the advantage of numbers was not an advantage at all.

"The rest, the time is too short, but his ability to warn dangers is very good." Liu Tao sighed.

It should be something similar to the sixth sense. You can feel that if you attack at that time, you will lose. In fact, this is true. You are overestimated and rely on the number of people to fight, under the circumstances at that time, you don’t need to drive out of the mountains and forests to destroy it.

His clever choice saved three or four thousand people, and at the same time saved his own power.

"Yi De..." Liu Tao felt that the golden sentence of life should be given, "The concept of war and fighting is different. Even if there is a temporary defeat, it cannot explain anything. Only by winning the last one is the real winner."

"My foolish brother is taught!" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then replied solemnly.

"After that being said... I have to find something to make a fire and roast my body. If I continue like this, I will catch a cold." Liu Tao suddenly shivered, looked at his wet body and ordered directly.

"But it's just raining, how can I cause fire?" Zhang Fei also understood this principle, but there is no suitable fire-induced object at all, let alone ignite the fire.

"In this way, it doesn't matter if you help collect firewood. If you concentrate, I will naturally have a way to make a fire." Liu Tao thought for a while and immediately ordered.

Twenty minutes later, looking at the bonfire in front of him and the admiration of the soldiers around him, Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh: "This may be the most inappropriate use of magic..."

He directly used the fire arrows to ignite a pile of firewood, then used the flame to dry the water, and then continuously expand the bonfire, and finally everyone can roast until the fire.

The next day, a large army passed by the horizon and saw the troops on the roadside, and soon entered a state of alert.

"Come?" Liu Tao looked at them and rushed forward, "But the brother who was transporting grain to the Northern Zhonglang General's troops?"

"Which unit are you from?" Seeing this, the escort captain of the grain team stepped forward to inquire.

An army suddenly appeared on the road, which made people very suspicious, but these people did not enter the state of combat readiness and rested here casually. At the same time, the officer in charge took the initiative to greet him, which slightly relieved some of his doubts.

"Sima Liu Tao, another department appointed by my General of the Northern Central Army, will come to help you protect the food and grass. By the way, can you give some dry food first? The dry food we brought has been used up." Liu Tao took out the document and handed it over.

This is the military order submitted by Lu Zhi. Having said that, I was wet from the rain yesterday and my handwriting had melted a little.

The captain looked at it for a long time and barely saw some content. The key was that the seal was real, although it was a little bit melted.

"You were wet last night?" asked the captain.

"I had a fight with the thieves last night, and finally got rid of the thieves. I couldn't rest well without resting." Liu Tao pointed behind him. There were indeed hundreds of heads in the open space not far away, which were the earliest hundreds of thieves.

"Is there really a thief?" The captain immediately reacted when he saw this. After all, he also sent someone to report on the incident where an unknown person was peeping.

"It's a pity that I'm impatient to beat, and I shot hundreds of them and ran away. It was dark and it was raining, so I had no way to pursue it, so I had to give up." Liu Tao replied casually.

It did rain last night, but the question is why the officers and soldiers in front of them fought with the thieves at night, and the captain couldn't figure it out.

"Well, there is dry food in the army, so let's go first. When we arrive at Chaoge tonight, we will bury the pot to make rice." The captain was too lazy to care about so much, but just ordered his subordinates to hand over the dry food.

Fried noodles, yes, whole wheat fried noodles, with a piece of pickles, you can feel whether it tastes delicious or not. It’s not fried noodles, but it’s really just to stir-fry flour in a pottery pot, and there’s probably no oil or water in this noodles…

Every time I see this, Liu Tao feels that while changing the people's livelihood in this world, the food of this era should be improved.

Fortunately, I got used to it. I stuttered and drank water. If I had the conditions, I would like to cook a bowl of hot water to make it into a paste, and the taste would be much better.

In the next few days, Liu Tao followed the army to eat and drink and returned to Guangzong. Along the way, he did not encounter any thieves. The lieutenant of the guard camp also believed what Liu Tao said. It seemed that the thieves had indeed been defeated in advance.

After arriving at Guangzong, he had to report to Lu Zhi about this matter, which made the middle-aged man get hit.

Thousands of people defeated thousands of bandit soldiers, and the cavalry had not been used at that time, which was equivalent to using five hundred crossbowmen to defeat the bandits and fleeing in all directions.

If it weren't for the fire attack, and there were hundreds of heads to testify, and there were really no thieves along the way, it would be hard for Lu Zhi to believe it.

Finally, he encouraged Liu Tao a few words and went back to the camp.

"Brother, the court sent a yellow party to inspect." At noon five days later, Lu Yan hurried over and said to Liu Tao.
