A fart embarrassment!

Li Yan immediately understood that to put it bluntly, it was to preserve his strength.

As the bandits continued to grow, the generals under Li Zicheng gradually gained a certain degree of strength, and he himself became the most powerful bandit in the Ming Dynasty. So far, his troops have reached about 60,000 to 70,000.

Of course, this is not because Li Zicheng could not recruit more soldiers, but because after being beaten by Jiangning Army several times, Li Zicheng and his generals understood a truth: the more soldiers, the better.

During the Battle of Mengjin, Gao Yingxiang had enough men? As a result, he was defeated by Yang Feng in a battle, and the more than 200,000 troops collapsed within one day. Even Gao Yingxiang himself became a prisoner and was finally sent to Beijing City to cut into pieces.

In the battle of Anqing Mansion, Li Zicheng and others also had tens of thousands of troops, but in the end they were still beaten by less than 10,000 Jiangning Army. From this, Li Zicheng and the others realized a truth, that is, the more people, the better. No matter how many soldiers and horses are, it will be useless if there are no wars.

So from that time on, Li Zicheng and the others began to consciously embark on the path of elite soldiers. Li Zicheng began to step up training new recruits and consciously expand the scale of the old camp.

For example, now, the number of soldiers and horses under Li Zicheng's old camp has reached more than 10,000, and with the battle camp directly under him, his troops have more than 30,000.

In addition, the number of troops under Liu Zongmin, Li Laiheng, Li Yan, Tian Jianxiu, Gao Degong and others has once again reached the 60,000 to 70,000.

Because the training of troops under his command is not easy, both Li Zicheng and his generals also cherish the strength in their hands. In addition, the nature of bandits is selfish and greedy. Who would be willing to consume their own strength to rescue others? When they heard his boss ask who was going to rescue Tian Jianxiu, everyone became turtles.

Li Yan's eyes kept looking around among the crowd, and the generals avoided his gaze, while Li Zicheng kept silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Li Yan's heart suddenly became cold. He couldn't help but remind Li Zicheng: "King of Chuang, brothers, brothers Tian Jianxiu are sent by brothers Zongmin to transport gold, silver, grain and other supplies. Wouldn't we send someone to pick them up?"

Li Zicheng didn't say anything, and Li Laiheng, who was beside him, shook his head first and said, "Military advisor, you are a smart person. We should understand some things without us explaining them clearly. How huge the convoy transporting food, grass, gold and silver is. It is already amazing to be able to walk thirty miles a day.

If we were the Mingjun, could we let go of this piece of fat? When our people rushed over, I'm afraid there would be no more scum left. What else should we do?"

Li Yan stopped talking. Li Laiheng's worries were not unreasonable, but that it was too terrible. If he were the Ming army, he would not have let such a large piece of fat. When reinforcements rushed over, the daylily would probably be cold. Maybe he would be ambushed by the Ming army. Instead of doing so, it would be better not to go.

Although that's the case, it's not reasonable to allow friendly troops to be chased by the Ming army without sending people to support them. They have to send a supporter to do it. At present, everyone is obviously unwilling to do such a thankless chore. I'm afraid these people have already discussed to throw the chore on themselves before they come, right?

After Li Yan's mind had been circling around, he not only thought of the purpose of Li Zicheng calling him to come, but also understood the cause and effect.

The reason for the incident was that the strength of his troops under his command grew too fast during this period, and his vigorous and serious military discipline in the rebellion army caused many people to be disgusted. Although Li Zicheng still values ​​him very much and will not do anything to him, once he has the opportunity to weaken his strength, these people will never let them go.

Thinking of this, Li Yan realized that he might have to go ahead.

He stood up straight and looked at Li Zicheng, "King of Chuang, since there is no brother who is willing to take this trip, let me go there. I will definitely take Brother Jianxiu back."

"Okay, then I'll bother Brother Li." Li Zicheng was overjoyed, stood up and walked to Li Yan and held his hand, "When Brother Li will take Brother Xiu back, I will definitely welcome you."

"Then I'll leave without further ado."

Li Yan nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall.

After Li Yan's figure disappeared into the hall, the smile on Li Zicheng's face slowly calmed down. He turned his head and looked at everyone deeply, without saying anything, leaving the hall with his hands behind his back.

After being sang and made this happen like this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little hot on their faces. After a glance at each other, everyone also dispersed. Anyway, the matter was obvious. It was impossible for them to work hard for Tian Jianxiu, who cares about the others?

Li Zicheng returned to his residence and remembered what happened today. He felt upset in his heart and couldn't help but say hatefully: "A group of idiots, one or two, can only preserve their strength. It's simply a delusion to rely on them to complete the great cause of the rebel army."

A sound of light footsteps came from behind, and a slim and pretty woman walked out of it. She walked to Li Zicheng with a tray, gently placed a teacup on the table, and asked softly: "Why are you so worried about me?"

Li Zicheng waved his hand impatiently: "You are a woman who asks you what you do, but you don't understand even if you say military and national affairs."

The woman's name is Xing Qiaoer, and she is the daughter of a businessman.

Some time ago, Li Zicheng robbed a caravan and found Xing Qiaoer who was mixed in the caravan. She not only had beautiful appearance, but also had a literal and verbal word. Li Zicheng was overjoyed and married this woman and asked her to take charge of the money of the rebel army.

Xing Qiaoer is worthy of being a merchant family. After taking charge of the money of the Chuangjun, she not only manages the money in an orderly manner, but also often gives some very pertinent opinions to Li Zicheng on weekdays, so that she gains Li Zicheng's trust more and more. The generals of the Chuangjun also habitually call her Mrs. Xing.

However, Li Zicheng is a typical macho man. He can tolerate the problems of Li Yan or his generals, but he seems impatient to his own women and speaks more vulgarly.

Seeing Li Zicheng's impatient look, Mrs. Xing just smiled slightly and said calmly: "Since you don't want to say it, forget it, I won't ask."
