Chapter 699: Contradictions Emerge

If Zhong Xiang's mausoleum is lost, the world will shake.

If Xiangyang in the upper reaches is lost, the south of the Yangtze River will be unstable.

If Zuo Liangyu's army is destroyed, the building will collapse.

If Huguang falls into the righteous army, it will be in danger!

With all these factors, as long as the various units of the peasant army march from Nanyang, Dengxian, and Runing Prefecture to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Chengtian, and other places with great fanfare, the government and the opposition will inevitably be shaken. Those Donglin bigwigs who were born in the south of the Yangtze River in the DPRK and China were bound to coerce Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, to go out of Tongguan to threaten the rear of the peasant army, and force Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui and others to return to the army to rescue.

However, once Sun Chuanting's soldiers leave Tongguan, then the Tongguan natural danger is not for him, but for him! For example, the famous Qinglong 24 turns, which made the Allied truck drivers tremble with their legs.

Natural hazards have always been designed for the defending side. And for those who try to pass through it, whether hostile or not, or innocent. All are extremely deadly!

In other places, maybe the commanders of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, or the leaders of the Liukou, are not all so familiar with this place, but they are too familiar with Tongguan to be familiar with it.

At that time, Li Zicheng fought a tough battle with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides at that time, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, in the south of Tongguan, but Lao Hong and Lao Sun, the master and apprentice, gave full play to the terrain and troops, so that Li Zicheng, who attacked Tongguan on his back and was extremely tired and tired, suffered a big loss, and almost let Lao Li lose all his capital.

Now that I can let my grandson taste the hardships in front of the copper wall of Tongguan, how can I not make everyone happy?

"Hit!"

"Hit Huguang! Hit Zuo Liangyu! Lead Sun Lao'er out of Tongguan and kill them together! ”

The three agreed on the same page.

"Mr. Wu, if the righteous army takes the four mansions of De'an, how many people can your Qin Law Academy take out to serve in various states and counties?"

Cao Cao blinked his eyes and took the lead in asking Wu Xing about the number of local government cadres.

Qin Law School. It is the name given by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai for the training course for local officials in Wuxing. In fact, it is not the result of the two of them, but the result of the discussion of the two subordinates Niu Jinxing, Li Yan, Ji Qi and other literati.

They believe that the concepts, systems, and methods brought by Wu Xing from the Southern Guangdong Army are completely in line with Taishi Gong's description of the Qin system in the historical records, and that the people are governed by law to govern the prefectures and counties, and to establish the country by farming and warfare. This was immediately recognized by the two peasant armies with the Shaanxi Township Party as the backbone core. In their opinion, no matter whether the reputation of the Qin State is good in the books or not, it is our Shaanxi seniors, since the old-timers can use such means to make the Qin State rich and strong, become a state of tigers and wolves, and sweep away the six countries in the eastern part of the country, then we can also use the methods of the old-timers to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Thereupon. The training course for officials in this place was named the Qin Law School.

"General, but you want to get these people to serve in the four mansions of De'an in the future? At present, the 500 students will have at least two months to complete the entire curriculum, and according to the rules set by the generalissimo and the general, they must go to the prefecture, county, and township for at least three months to take up their posts in the prefecture and county. ”

Half a year later? That's absolutely not possible!

This is the voice in the hearts of the people. According to their estimates, half a year later. The whole of Shaanxi all the way to Henan and the Jianghan Plain will fall into their hands. The Yellow River and the Han River will be two blood vessels and moats, which will become the natural barrier of this land.

"Mr. Wu. It's too late! It has to be fast! As you told Lao Cao before, where the soldiers and horses are defeated, the administrative officer will carry out government affairs there! In this way, I will be drawn from the camp," Luo Rucai pondered for a moment, "six hundred people who have read and know how to read. are all officials above the flag, and then, those administrative officials in various state capitals can be deployed at will, as long as De'an, Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and Chengtian are laid, these dozens of state and county capitals have a complete set of government affairs teams! ”

According to the agreement of the two families. All results are divided into four or six parts. Therefore, among these state capitals in Henan, there are not a few officials in the Luo Rucai system. However, his performance set off a great wave in Li Zicheng's heart!

He looked at Luo Rucai, who was planning a local official for the new district in high spirits, and looked at the five people who were full of envy and jealousy, "You can't let your development continue!" If you sit big again, I, the generalissimo of Fengtian Advocate Righteousness, will be overtaken by you sooner or later! ”

Gu Junen praised on the side: "Those who are literate must be armed." In this way, when our righteous army captures one place, it will open a government and build a government, and there will be no worries from now on! If I had taken Shaanxi first, Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang, would have led the officers and men of Huguang to take the opportunity to go north, posing a serious threat to the rear of our righteous army. And attack Huguang first, at this time Sun Chuanting Fang took office, He Renlong and others are frightened birds, more thousands of miles away, it is impossible to send troops to me in the short term, so it is inevitable to attack Huguang in the south, first hit Zuo Liangyu and other departments! ”

"When we capture Xiangyang and hurt Zuo Liangyu, the imperial court will inevitably order Sun Lao'er to lead He Renlong and others out of the customs to copy the back road of our army......"

Gu Junen was talking endlessly, outside the door, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, the director of the camp collected intelligence and military information from all over the place, Liu Tichun, who had a spy and a hidden pile, and Wang Long, the nephew of Luo Rucai, the commander of the Cao camp, hurriedly walked in one after the other.

"King Chuang!"

"Uncle!"

The two men looked at each other, but neither spoke again.

"What's the matter? So panicked! ”

Li Zicheng naturally wanted to maintain his generalissimo prestige in front of everyone. After all, he is now the chief of the rebel armies. is their titular commander-in-chief. Whether it is Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, or the people of the Fifth Battalion of the Hui Revolution who just came to join the camp, they can all be regarded as his deputies and subordinates.

"Generalissimo, there is an urgent military briefing!" Liu Tichun took a step forward and gave a military salute to Li Zicheng.

"Xi'an's detective sent a secret letter, and Sun Chuanting sent a secret letter under the pretext of sending military salaries and grass to the soldiers and horses of each town, so that the general generals of the general army of each town entered Xi'an. After entering the city, he immediately closed the city gate, read the holy decree in the governor's yamen, and killed the He people and Long He madman! Outside the Governor's Gate, he slaughtered and slaughtered the two hundred personal soldiers of the madman! Ordered Gao Jie to be the chief soldier and lead the old department of He Madman! ”

"After Gao Jie took office. With the help of 2,000 soldiers and horses of the new army, Gao Ruli, He Yong, Dong Xueli and others are still deceased, He Guoxian, Gao Jinku and others heard that He Renlong died, and they wanted to flee hundreds of elite soldiers to Jingyang, and wanted to take their children and the wealth accumulated by He Renlong and fled back to Mizhi. was forcibly stopped back by Sun Shoufa, the general of the standard battalion, and now it is all under Gao Jie's control! ”

"What?! He was killed by Sun Deaf?! ”

This news was like throwing a big stone into a hot oil pot, and suddenly sparks flew and ignited a sky-high fire.

In the eyes of Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan, the Shaanxi soldiers and horses under Sun Chuanting are only capable of some combat effectiveness under the command of He Madman, and they can be called fierce opponents. Now that Madman He has been killed by Sun Deaf, how can he not make them excited?!

"He is dead. Let's play the level is as simple as gleaning ears of wheat! ”

He Jin slapped his thigh excitedly, and the nail leaves on his body rattled. And Lin Yangcheng and Liu Xiyao pounded each other's chests, their eyes full of tears of excitement.

The battle strategy has been set and is about to be put into practice, when the commander of the main force of the opposing army has been killed, which is tantamount to great news.

Song Xiance, who was beside Li Zicheng for a long time and didn't speak, was almost robbed of the limelight by Gu Junen, but Song Xiance, the military master who broke into the camp, stood on the chair at this time.

"Generalissimo, two Great Marshals. The mountain people have a plan. I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”

"Mr. Song, you say." Ge Li Yan He Yilong supported his glasses. Looking at the Song dwarf who was standing on the chair and standing on the flat ground about the same height, he had a bit of a taste of listening to a child speak seriously.

"Although He Renlong was killed, his department was in charge of Gao Jie, a traitor of our righteous army. However, the old department of the He family is still the main force in its army, including all the brave and resolute people. However, this generation has undergone great changes, just like a frightened bird. And Gao Jie, in order to establish his authority. It is bound to be severely punished and purged in the army. At this time, the generalissimo, the commander of the revolution, and the commander of the left, in the name of the three of you, may wish to send people to carry more gold and silver treasures. Go to the He clan and the old Mizhi department to get in touch, he will be of great use in the future! ”

He Yilong patted his thighs, and a pair of small eyes flashed excitedly behind the crystal lenses, "Song Shorty!" Your idea and our old man thought of it together! ”

At this time, he sent someone to the old department of He Renlong to contact the villagers of Mizhi and chat about the friendship of fellow villagers. Go and contact the people of the He clan and say that you can't write two congratulatory words with one stroke. Perhaps, on the battlefield, these brave and fierce soldiers who are destined to be treated as dissidents and cannon fodder by Gao Jie and Sun Chuanting will play an unexpected role!

Li Zicheng also nodded his appreciation for Song Xiance's suggestion.

"Erhu, you and the two marshals of He discuss and elect the Mizhi villagers among the battalions of our righteous army, especially those brothers surnamed He. Give them more gold and silver goods, and write to them in the name of me and the two great marshals He. Tell them that as long as the identity of the Mizhi villagers is revealed on the battlefield, our family will not fight as a family! There is a debtor and a debtor, everyone will avenge the crazy man together, and find Sun Deaf to settle the account! ”

"King Chuang, I'm afraid that if you want to settle accounts with Sun Deaf, it's not just our righteous army." Liu Tichun smiled and told all the marshals about Sun Chuanting's implementation of the new policy in Shaanxi.

When others heard it, it was just that, even Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and others just laughed, feeling that Sun Chuanting was a little too hasty. For himself, he offended the officials and gentry of the entire Shaanxi clan, and once there is any chaos, these people will inevitably pounce on Sun Chuanting and bite Sun Chuanting to death. However, Wu Xing looked a little flustered when he heard this.

"King Chuang, although his subordinates don't understand military affairs, they still implore King Chuang, the general, and several marshals to go south as soon as possible to beat Zuo Liangyu and lure and force Sun Chuanting out of Tongguan!"

"Mr. Wu, why?" Seeing that Wu Xing, who had never had much to do with military operations, actually jumped out and asked to be dispatched as soon as possible, which immediately surprised Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

"King Chuang, please see, although Sun Chuanting is a little hasty in Shaanxi, but looking at its fundamentals and methods, it is no different from the new policy implemented by the eldest son of the Li family in Shandong. If it is forcibly promoted by him, in the autumn, I am afraid that by the time we capture Shaanxi, the officers and soldiers will already have much more money and food than today! ”

In addition to money and food, there is more to be said, Wu Xing's words were swallowed stiffly.

"If Sun Chuanting is allowed to have a few months or more than half a year to implement the new policy in Shaanxi. If it succeeds, with Sun Chuanting's ability to train soldiers to fight, I am afraid that at that time, he will be able to hang the rebels! If you want to capture Shaanxi again, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky! What's more, once the new policy in Shaanxi is implemented, I am only afraid of the peasant army, which acts as the backbone of the Shaanxi soldiers. is also going to flee one after another, and by that time, there will be no soldiers and horses under Li Zicheng's command. Any Ming Dynasty official can capture Li Zicheng! ”

However, this point is self-evident as to how he went from a laid-off courier to Li Zicheng to today.

"Lao Luo, Lao He, Lao Ma, let's discuss it. How to send troops to beat Zuo Liangyu as soon as possible! ”

The seven of them were about to hold a small-scale military meeting, and Wang Lung, who had endured it for a long time, finally couldn't hold it back.

"Uncle! I have something to tell you! ”

"Bastard, didn't you see that the Generalissimo and I have an urgent military situation to discuss!?"

"Uncle! More than 300 of our Cao Ying's good war horses were put on the bank of the Zhanghe River to eat grass and drink, and Hao Shaoqi's subordinates mixed hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled mules and horses, and then replaced our Cao Ying's good horses! My subordinates stepped forward to theorize, but they were drawn by Hao Shaoqi's men and wounded six of them! ”

Wang Lung said this. A pair of vicious eyes stared at Hao Shaoqi, who didn't care about sitting in the seat smoking and drinking tea, and almost stretched out a pair of hands in his eyes to strangle this camp general to death!

Just now, it was in full swing in the conference hall with a peaceful atmosphere. Immediately, there was an uproar, and the generals of the two families stood up from their seats, glared angrily, and divided into two distinct camps.

For Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who were scolded by the officials of the Ming Dynasty as rogues, the mobility and combat ability of the troops are equally crucial. Being able to run is even more important than being able to fight. If you can't beat it, you can escape. This is the core of the peasant army's strategic thinking and tactical actions to subdue the enemy for many years. Therefore, from commander-level figures such as Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, to generals like Hao Shaoqi and Liu Zongmin, and even ordinary soldiers, they all attach great importance to the collection of horses, mules, and other heads.

A good mount. The critical moment can really be a lifesaver.

This is why Wang Lung was angry for more than 300 good war horses, and did not hesitate to turn his face with the generals who broke into the camp in front of Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui and others.

"Hao Shaoqi, you bastard!" Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong and the others couldn't help but curse loudly in their hearts, "When are you not good at robbing Luo Rucai's war horse?" Just snatched his war horse at this juncture? He still looks so ugly, snatched more than 300 horses at once, and injured the sergeant of his battalion? ”

Thinking of the old things in Shangluo Mountain, Hao Shaoqi said goodbye without saying goodbye, and led the team to leave the old eighth team in the camp, plus today at the important juncture of Li Zicheng's great cause about to turn into Dancheng, Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others almost wanted to pull out a knife and cut his heart. However, the annoyance in their hearts turned into annoyance, now Hao Shaoqi was the general who broke into the camp after all, and they had to start from maintaining Li Zicheng's prestige, and faintly surrounded Hao Shaoqi in the crowd.

Looking at the angry expressions of everyone in Cao Ying, and then looking at the vigilant looks in the eyes of Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Liyan He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao, Lin Yangcheng and others on the side, Li Zicheng was also hateful in his heart.

"Flag-waving, why are you? As an elder, he was ashamed to allow his subordinates to steal his nephew's horses? Don't hurry up and make amends to Wang Lung! ”

Li Zicheng shouted loudly. Everyone could hear that his words left a big step for Hao Shaoqi, turning the nature of this incident into something for an uncle to rob his nephew. As long as Hao Shaoqi is soft, admits his mistakes, and has to apologize, this turmoil can be resolved.

It's a pity that Hao Shaoqi is a little puzzled.

"King Chuang! As the saying goes, the sword is a hero, and the pink is a beauty! Those people under Wang Lung Kid can't ride horses, but they are all high-grade war horses from outside the mouth and from the West! Those elite cavalry under our Lao Hao, and many of them are all mules! The brothers couldn't get angry for a while, so they went to exchange with the fucking Wang Lung's subordinates and borrowed them to ride for a few days, what's the matter?! Aren't they your subordinates of King Chuang......"

"Smack!" Without waiting for Hao Shaoqi to finish speaking, Liu Zongmin, who had not spoken all this time, picked up his iron-striking hand and slapped Hao Shaoqi's black face. "You donkey ball! Bastard thing! Come on, tie up this bastard for Lao Tzu! Push it outside, cut it! ”

Liu Zongmin's slap made Hao Shaoqi fall to the ground from the chair, and several of Li Zicheng's Marshal Mansion soldiers next to him saw that Liu Ye had moved, and hurriedly grabbed Hao Shaoqi, who was scolding angrily, to the ground, removed his waist knife, twisted his arms and pushed him out of the meeting hall.

Luo Rucai narrowed his small eyes and didn't say much, although he knew very well that the eyes of the generals who broke into the camp were staring at him at the moment, hoping that he could come out and say a few words to Hao Shaoqi, lest Hao Shaoqi and this guy really be pushed out and cut down. However, if this guy is not allowed to suffer a little, Hao Shaoqi can snatch Cao Ying's horses today, and tomorrow Bai Wang may dare to merge Cao Ying's soldiers and horses!

Seeing that a few pro-soldiers pushed Hao Shaoqi, who was scolding endlessly, to the door of the conference hall, Luo Rucai got up from the chair, walked in front of Wang Long, sank his dantian, and slapped Wang Long: "You bastard boy!" For the sake of a few animals, are you going to trap the generalissimo for injustice?! (To be continued......)
