81 locks on to new targets

(There may have been a slight mistake in this chapter, but it has now been corrected, forgive me!) Please collect and recommend, thank you! ）

More than half a month has passed since the New Year, and the cottage has returned to the boring training life before, and at this time, more than 300 people under Li Zixiao have been trained more elite.

A few days ago, Li Zixiao sent Zhang Ergouzi to take people out, he wanted to know which landlords and old wealthy's forts existed in the surrounding dozens of miles, revealing a smell of looking for fat meat everywhere.

"The big bosses, the small ones went out this time, and basically figured out the situation around dozens of miles, there are fourteen landlords and old wealth within a radius of dozens of miles from our cottage, and there are a few bandits.

Over the years, there have been many bandits in this area, and the smaller Zhuangzi have basically been captured by bandits, and there are not a few left, and in the end all that can be left are the strong big Zhuangzi.

Especially the Wujiabao, the strength is even stronger, the hand has thousands of acres of fertile land, countless tenants, the fort is built tall, and it is even said that there are cannons on the wall of Wujiabao, and it is impossible to knock it down. ”

After listening to Zhang Ergouzi's report, Li Zixiao sat on the first seat and nodded slightly, finally having a clear understanding of the situation around his cottage.

"Our cottage is now considered to be strong, but it lacks siege equipment and long-range attack capabilities, so we will never touch a big village like Wujiabao.

That is undoubtedly risking the lives of the brothers, and we will not do the business of loss, this is my Li Zixiao's style of doing things, let's first find a few weakest Zhuangzi for the brothers to practice and accumulate experience in attacking the village. ”

Li Zixiao said to Wei Hong, Liu Chong and other henchmen and generals next to him, this is the most secure plan in his heart at present.

Whoever let his subordinates train is very good, at this time in the field battle, he dares to say that there will never be any bandits, even if the officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard are coming, he dares to compete.

But this siege battle, it is equivalent to a small siege war, this is another combat mode, your field battle is strong does not mean that you are strong in siege, this siege is very experienced.

But Li Zixiao wants to live the more than 300 people under his command, and he doesn't want to do anything to those poor people, in addition to the fact that these poor people really can't squeeze much oil and water, he also wants to accumulate a good reputation

Fame feels useless now, but when he grows stronger and raises the anti-flag later, he can make talents hear the wind and vote, and reputation is very important.

Once the reputation thing stinks, it is really not easy to wash it, so Li Zixiao set the bottom line from the beginning, and the soldiers under his command will never attack the ordinary poor people, and they will beat the fattest landlords and old wealth.

But Li Zixiao didn't plan to offend all the people of the landlord and rich families to death, so that in the future, he would have to face the desperate resistance of the two classes of landlords and wealthy businessmen across the country, and he would be really sad.

Therefore, the landlords and rich households he selected to start all have two characteristics, if they were not on the opposite side of Li Zixiao, they would be enemies of each other, such as the Cai family.

Otherwise, the landlord and the rich have the evil deeds of being rich and unkind, bullying men and women, dominating the township, and disregarding people's lives, which is exactly in line with the slogan of 'doing the right thing for heaven' put forward by Li Zixiao in the cottage at this time.

Moreover, at this time, the food in Li Zixiao's cottage could not last for a month, and the number of people in his cottage swelled sharply from about 100 people at the beginning to more than 350 in less than two months.

Coupled with the high-intensity training of these people every day, they have all become 'big stomachs', and they may eat them, so that at this time, the food that Li Zixiao originally planned to survive this winter can now last for more than half a month.

So after the New Year, Li Zixiao had to find a new target, and he was also ready to fight the local tyrants, from the hands of those landlords and wealthy households; Collect some food to feed your own men.

"I support this proposal of the big boss, at this time, we must always guard against possible retaliation from the Cai family, so we must not let our own strength lose too much.

Of course, it is also necessary to attack a few small Zhuangzi to accumulate siege experience, and at the same time obtain a batch of food, but I also suggest that the big boss should send people to recruit displaced people for training, as the back force of our cottage, and make up for our lost manpower at any time. ”

Qian Guangyuan stood up at this time and said to Li Zixiao.

"Well, Mr. Qian's suggestion is very good, and it coincides with my thoughts, and I have been thinking about the issue of reserve troops for many years.

When we go out of the village to attack the landlord's Zhuangzi this time, I will send Ergouzi to the outside to recruit a group of displaced people, the number is not too much at first, and the province will increase the burden of cottage food, and this matter of recruiting manpower will become the norm in the future.

Ergouzi, tell everyone now, after you investigate, you will hurry up the surrounding Zhuangzi, which is the most suitable for our first attack! ”

Li Zixiao couldn't help but nod after listening to Qian Guangyuan's words, and then turned to Zhang Ergouzi and asked.

When Zhang Ergouzi heard Li Zixiao say this, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, he was happy that he didn't have to go to the battlefield to fight, it was much safer, and he was happy that he would be responsible for recruiting new homeless people.

Li Zixiao arranged this thing for him to do, which shows that Li Zixiao is very important to him, and he is of course happy to be able to get Li Zixiao's weight, so that his status in the cottage is guaranteed.

"Small, I went to investigate the two Zhuangzi in the north, these two Zhuangzi are relatively small, and they are relatively easy to fight, they are not many Zhuangding, they are located in the middle of nowhere, but they have not experienced much military disasters, there should be a lot of oil and water to fish!

And they are far away from the county seat, if we do it, the officers and soldiers in the city will not take care of it, and it is not easy to attract the attention of the Cai family, so the little one thinks it is better to start with them first. ”

At this time, according to Zhang Ergouzi's dictation, Li Zixiao sketched lines with a brush on one by one, pointing out black dots, the lines represent the route, and the black dots represent Zhuangbao and towns.

In addition, some obvious mountains, rivers, forests and other terrains are also easily marked by Li Zixiao, and some other unimportant fields or something, which can be omitted, are all omitted by Li Zixiao.

Soon, a simple map centered on Li Zixiao's cottage and encompassing most of the roads and forts within sixty or seventy miles was presented in front of everyone.

He asked, "How far are the two Zhuangzi you are talking about from us?" Also, what is the terrain of these two Zhuangzi, which one of them is more suitable for us to start, and the strength of the Zhuang Ding in their Zhuangzi, have you all explored these? ”

Zhang Ergouzi stepped forward, pointed to the simple map, and said: "If you go back to the big boss, the two Zhuangzi who are small ones are called Ronghe Fort and the other are called Linjiabao, which are about forty miles away from our cottage.

The mountain road leading to Liangzhuang is not very easy to walk, it is far away from the official road, in the ravine, so few people run to where it is, Rongshui Fort is a small river backed by a Rong River, and there is a big family surnamed Zheng and several other village squires to build together.

The big family surnamed Zheng wanted to build a Zhuang Fort alone, and obviously the financial resources were not enough, so they joined forces with the other three squires to build this Ronghe Fort.

After the four families joined together to build Ronghe Fort, plus the tenants of each of their families, there were more than 500 people in the Zhuangzi and nearly 100 in the Zhuangding.

On the terrain, the small one also secretly got closer to see, Ronghe Fort is built in the middle of two mountains and a ditch, and there is a Ronghe River flowing out of the mountain, surrounding half of the Ronghe Fort, forming a natural moat, not very close!

In addition, the Lin family fort is a big family surnamed Lin built their own Zhuangzi, built on a dirt slope, the old rich man surnamed Lin is said to be very rich, there are more than 100 tenants alone, compared to the last time we went to Liujiabao are not much worse.

It's just that this old guy was extremely stingy, and when he built the Zhuangbao, he didn't want the tenants to live in the Zhuangzi, so he built his Zhuangzi on the earthen beam, and the tenants lived outside the Zhuangzi.

When there are bandits attacking the village, they let the tenants hide in the village, and risk their lives to guard the village for him, when there is nothing to do, the tenants have to go back to the outside of the village, build a shack to live by themselves!

This Linjia Fort is built on a soil beam, the fort is not very big, and there are not many Zhuang Ding inside, but the village wall is very high, and the small ones are seen from a distance, and some are not easy to start.

However, compared to Ronghe Fort, which is surrounded by a river and half of Zhuangbao, it is less risky for the small one to hit this Lin Jiabao. ”

Li Zixiao is already very satisfied with the situation reported by Zhang Ergouzi, although it is not very detailed, but it is not easy for Zhang Ergouzi to do this.

Li Zixiao continued to touch the beard stubble that had just grown on his chin, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the reputation of the Zheng family and Lin family fort of Ronghe Fort among the people nearby?" ”

Zhang Ergouzi immediately picked up and said: "I have heard of these two families, the ancestors of the Zheng family in Ronghe Fort have been a big official, and the ancestors have left them more fields, but I have never heard of any evil deeds from them.

And it is said that this Zheng family and the other three families have a good relationship on weekdays, and they are relatively grouped, and most of the people in Zhuangbao are members of their three families, and there are not many people who dare to provoke them.

However, the big family surnamed Lin in the Lin family fort is said to be very bad, and he has done a lot of bad things to bully men and women, and he is notoriously stingy, and the rent of other landlords' families is generally four or six, and the two years are not good, and it will even be reduced to three or seven.

But the rent collected by this Lin Papi has always been five or five, I really don't know if his heart is black, this winter many tenants outside his village because there is no food. 0

This old thing actually watched people starve to death, and didn't take out a grain to help those poor tenants, it can be said that the tenants of Lin Jiabao hated this Lin Papi to the core, but they were helpless, after all, they still had to rely on the Lin family to survive.

To say small, let's pick the one to start, or pick Lin Jiabao, this old thing is so stingy, it is estimated that the grain stored in the house has long been piled up in the granary.

Coupled with the fact that those tenants hate this old thing surnamed Lin to death, we should encounter fewer obstacles to our attack. ”

Li Zixiao nodded, and said in his heart that although this Feng Gouzi was born as a ruffian, he was influenced by him during this time, and he already had a bit of a concept of good and evil, and he still had some conscience.

Li Zixiao looked at the map, patting his thighs rhythmically and gently, and everyone didn't speak, because they knew that Li Zixiao was thinking about the problem.

Soon, Li Zixiao's eyes showed a firm gaze, and he stood up and said, "Listening to what Zhang Ergouzi said, it is much more risky for us to attack this Ronghe Fort.

The small river outside their fort is very troublesome, and the Zhuang Ding inside should probably be members of their four families, so they should be very strong in this fight, and they are willing to fight hard.

At that time, if all the people in the village are united in hatred of the enemy and swear to resist us to the death, then our losses in attacking the village will be great. Moreover, the Zheng family has little notoriety, so we can't provoke them.

This old thing surnamed Lin is so stingy and mean, so don't blame us for targeting him, I decided to fight Lin Jiabao, let's start preparing today, and leave early tomorrow morning.

You all go down and prepare, all the soldiers go, Old Master Wei and Dong Zhuang's subordinates brought carpenters and auxiliary soldiers to escort the baggage and follow us, and Liu Zhong was with them.

This time, there will not be many people left in the cottage, which is equivalent to the whole village, anyway, there are no bandits around our cottage now, and it will not pose a threat to our cottage.

What I'm most worried about is whether the Cai family will attack us at this time, so I will scatter all the four scouts to the south, and stare at the road north of Yongcheng County, and once the Cai family has any trouble, I will report back immediately.

At the same time, Zhang Ergouzi, you take a group of people to the vicinity of the county seat to recruit a group of strong young people to come back, the number is not too much, twenty people are enough, and at the same time, you also stared at the county seat for me, once you find that there is a large number of people out of the county town out of the city, immediately find out the situation and report.

The rest of the people followed me, killed Ben Linjiabao, broke Zhuangzi, and robbed him ****! ”

"Obey the orders of the great master!" As Li Zixiao gave the final order, everyone stood up and took a step, bowed to Li Zixiao and said.
