Chapter 1084 The shadow of the famous tree
On the seventh day of the second month of the ninth year of the Apocalypse
Thick smoke was lit everywhere on the walls of Runing City, and countless ragged refugees flocked toward the city. Among them, there were many bandits wearing leather armor or cotton armor and red scarves wrapped in their heads.
All of these people showed excitement and bloodthirsty expressions in their eyes, and behind these people, countless elderly, weak, women and children stood outside the city and sang loudly.
"Eat and wear fucking, and open the door to welcome the King of Chuang. The King of Chuang will not pay food when he comes. He seeks promotion in the morning and seeks cooperation in the evening (one tenth of a liter). Recently, poor men have difficulty in seeking survival. Open the door early to worship the King of Chuang, and everyone is happy to discipline..."
As the songs were singing, the bandits who had entered the city were chasing the escaped Ming army officers and soldiers like crazy, while the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to turn around to resist. The only thing they did was to use their strength to run along the streets and alleys to desperately escape. As long as they escaped from the sight of the bandits who were red-eyed, they would not care about anything.
"Dog Killing Official..."
A bandit shouted and threw out the steel fork in his hand and stabbed a fleeing officer in front of him. The officer and soldier fell to the ground. The refugees behind him shouted excitedly, and countless people rushed forward, and the weapons in their hands fell. In just less than a dozen breaths, the officer and soldier turned into a pool of meat paste.
After killing the officer and soldier, the refugees who killed people became even more excited. The expression on their faces was almost distorted. They made a roar that was not like humans in their mouths, and continued to swarm forward. At this moment, they seemed to have only destruction in their eyes.
As bandits continued to enter the city, fireworks that were originally just gas-fired on the city wall began to spread in the city, and as time went by, there were more and more.
Outside the city, Li Zicheng, surrounded by a group of bandits wearing leather armor, looked at the cheers that were ringing everywhere, and his smug expression was still cold, but the proud expression in his eyes could not be concealed.
He turned his head and smiled at Li Guo who was standing behind him, "In just three days, Ru Ning City fell into the hands of our rebel army. Military advisor Li really made an indelible contribution."
Li Guo's face showed a hint of unwillingness, but he nodded and said, "Uncle is right. Li Yan does have a trick, especially the songs he compiled are very impressive. After those songs spread all over the past few days, there are too many people who have come to join our rebel army, which is something that has never been seen before."
"Just you know."
Li Zicheng glanced at him and said lightly: "I know you are a little dissatisfied with Military Advisor Li, but you have to remember that what our rebel army lacks is talents like him, so you can't offend him no matter what, do you understand?"
"I understand." Li Guo said angrily: "My nephew actually doesn't have much prejudice against Li Yan, but he just doesn't like this person's behavior."
"What style? They are the style of scholars." Li Zicheng pointed at him and scolded: "How did I teach you on weekdays? I asked you to read more books, but until now you still don't know a lot of words. Now even writing a note is like a dog. What qualifications do you have to say about them?"
Li Guo, who was scolded by his uncle, lowered his head and said nothing. For Li, he would rather ride a war horse and fight with the enemy than hold a brush to write. This was really tormenting.
Looking at Li Guo who was hanging his head and silently, Li Zicheng sighed and said nothing. He knew very well what his nephew was. It would be better to kill him if he really wanted to read, write, and do articles.
"Pudding lump..."
A burst of rapid sound of horse hooves came, and Li Yan, wearing light armor, waist and hips, ran over on a yellow horse, followed by more than a dozen cavalrymen.
“Well…”
The war horse stopped, and Li Yan jumped off the war horse and clasped his fists at Li Zicheng and said, "The King of Chuang, just now, the students followed the rebels into the city and found that many people began to break into houses and loot the people's property, and some even plundered women in the street. After the students went to dissuade them, these people not only refused to listen, but instead spoke ill of each other. The students had no choice but to execute all these people to correct the military rules. I hope the King of Chuang would forgive me for his crimes!"
"you……"
Li Guo, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but be furious when he heard this. He was about to have an attack but was stopped by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng said seriously: "The military advisor did the right thing. We set rules before the war begins. After the city is broken, we must not plunder the people's property, nor rape and rape good women. Those who violate the order will be executed on the spot. Since they have violated the rules, it is natural for Li to deal with them. Such people are worthy of death."
"The King of Chuang is indeed very wise and the students admire it!" Li Yan was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Li Zicheng.
"Hahaha……"
Li Zicheng laughed and helped Li Yan up.
"There is no need for military advisors. When Liu Bei visited the cottage three times in the past, he once said that the lonely one had Kong Ming, just like the fish had water. Later, Zhuge Liang indeed assisted Liu Bei to conquer a Shu Kingdom. Now that I, Li Zicheng, have a military advisor, and can accomplish something like Liu Bei."
Li Yan looked at Liu Bei deeply, bowed and then bowed, "The King of Chuang has such ambition, and Li Yan dared not obey his orders!"
“Okay…”
Li Zicheng happily helped Li Yan up again, and then sighed: "Although our rebel army has developed again, there are still too few talents. I hope the military advisor can recommend more useful people to us, otherwise after the rebel army is expanded in the future, we will fall into a situation where no one can be used."
Li Yan frowned when he heard this, thought for a long time and nodded: "What the King of Chuang said is very true. Students should try to find ways to recruit some scholars, but this matter must be done slowly and should not be too hasty."
"Well, I don't have to worry about the military advisor's work. This matter will be left to the military advisor." Li Zicheng patted his shoulder with satisfaction.
At this moment, a bandit came over on a horse and came to Li Zicheng and shouted: "King of Chuang, our spies lurking in front of us are here to report, and the Jiangning army stationed in Mengjin has begun to dispatch."
"No, they must be coming for us."
When Li Zicheng's face changed, Li Guo who was beside him was also shocked. The shadow of the famous tree, the Jiangning Army gave them a deep impression. The 200,000 bandits in Mengjin City were defeated and fled. The power of the Jiangning Army's overwhelming fire had already put the uncle and nephew in a psychological shadow. Now when he heard that the Jiangning Army was dispatched again, he said that they were not afraid of being lies.
Li Zicheng said decisively: "Military advisor, it is not advisable to stay in Runing Mansion for a long time, we have to leave quickly."
"Yes, our rebel army is still very weak now, so it is not appropriate to fight against the Jiangning army." Li Guo, who was standing beside him, also echoed.
