Qingyu Mountain is training intensely, but outside Qingyu Mountain, some people are thinking about other things. In the Qingyu Defense Battle, Qingyu won a complete victory, with almost no big loss in strength, and it was also

He extorted food from several other overlords, which made many people feel very unhappy. The most angry one was Daiyu Yierer.

Daiyu!

In the main hall of the village leader, one ear was lying on a tiger-skin chair, with his head in a woman's arms and leaning on her chest. A woman was kneeling on the ground holding a fruit plate with purple grapes in her hands.

Autumn is the season when grapes are ripe. The woman carefully peeled off the skin of the grapes, and then gently put it into the mouth of one ear. The other ear held the grapes in one mouthful and the woman's fingers by the way. The woman's whole body felt numb, but

Not daring to resist, he could only lower his head, blush, spit out the woman's finger from one ear, and then spit out the grape seeds to the side.

Beneath the tiger-skin chair, Hong Taotian was sitting there, tearing apart a roasted pig leg. Seeing this, he said with one ear: "Commander, how do you feel about the failure of this attack?"

After hearing this, Hong Taotian put down the pig leg and said: "Master, I am ashamed of myself. I thank you for your life-saving grace. I will definitely repay you with my life."

Yi Er raised the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing this and said: "Commander, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about this. You and I, brothers, should save you. I'm talking about Qingyu's strength."

After hearing this, Hong Taotian touched the oil stuck to his beard and said: "The strength of Qingyu should be the strongest among Liuyu, and the walls of Qingyu City are high and thick, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Qingyu doesn't come out and fight with us,

Let's fight, we have five remaining valleys, and even if we join forces, we can't take Qingyu."

After hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean Qingyu can't avenge the killing of five hundred of my minions?"

Hong Taotian said: "The impatience of the big boss messed up the big plan. Qingyu's soldiers and horses were strong and they defended according to the danger. When the Feitian Diao was there, we couldn't attack it. Now this group of people is much stronger than the Feitian Diao. We are not theirs."

opponent."

Hearing this, Yi Er frowned, but Hong Taotian said: "But the boss, the Qingyu defeat was only partly due to Qingyu's strength. The bigger reason was the rebellion of Liu Sandao of Dongtangyu.

The minions led by Liu Zongmin cooperated with Qingyu inside and outside, and we returned with a great defeat. We in Qingyu cannot defeat him, so he must avenge Dongtangyu!"

After hearing this, Yi Er frowned and said, "Liu Yidao and his friends from Dongtangyu and Qingyu colluded?"

Bang Taotian said: "It's absolutely true. All our families have lost their troops, almost the whole army has been wiped out, and each family has been extorted fifteen hundred tons of grain. He is the only one who has nothing to do in Dongtang Valley. Do you think it's reasonable?"

After hearing this, the woman handed over a grape. He opened the woman's hand and sat up, looking sharply at Hong Taotian: "Do you think Liu Yidao betrayed us?"

After hearing this, Hong Taotian looked at Pig Leg and said, "Anyway, all the brothers think so. Does it really matter whether it is true or not?"

After hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Yeah, is it important?"

Hong Taotian gnawed on the pig leg and said, "Master, I guess it's not just us, other valleys are also murmuring about this."

After hearing this, he touched his chin with one ear and said: "Although Dongtangyu is hateful, we also lost a lot of manpower this time, and the village has lost 1,500 tons of grain. The autumn harvest is about to begin. When the autumn grain arrives,

Ku, please tell me, this Qingyu is like a fierce tiger, you must be on guard against it."

After hearing this, Hong Taotian thought of the man who defeated him with one move. With that man in Qingyu, he should be able to turn the tide.

There are quite a few criticisms of Dongtangyu in Daiyu, as well as Song Laosan in Xiaoyangyu, Monk Peng in Daogouyu, and He Laodao in Wangyu.

This Dongtangyu has completely broken with the other overlords.

Dongtangyu is also actively preparing for war. Liu Zongmin personally trains a 300-man swordsman team, and together they practice the sword formations Liu Zongmin learned from his master. They are going all out to train troops to cope with unexpected situations. This Lantian County used to be a peaceful place.

In the pond, each of the six overlords defends one side. Now that Li Chaosheng and his group have entered, it is like muddying the water in the pond and causing the six overlords to fight. Only in chaos can he play chess.

Releasing the core combat power of the six overlords and extorting food and grass was also a move by Li Chaosheng. If he did not release the core combat power, the six overlords would not be able to let go. At the same time, they would always regard Qingyu as their biggest enemy. This

Not good.

If the other five companies unite, it will be very difficult for Li Chaosheng to deal with them, and he will suffer huge losses. This kind of loss-making business cannot be done.

So putting the core combat power back was a deliberate attempt to repair it, and other overlords would understand what Li Chaosheng meant when they saw this.

As for the reason for extorting food, it is because the food production is expected to decrease this year. When the copycat food is not enough, they must get food, and the little food in the hands of the people is only enough to feed themselves. If the bandits come to rob them, they will definitely be fiercely beaten.

resistance.

And the bandits are not stupid. They have pushed the villagers in their own county to death, and all the villagers have died. Who will they rob in the future? Isn't this killing the goose to get the eggs?

Generally, in years of great disaster, bandits not only do not rob food, they may also lend it to farmers to help them tide over the difficulties.

Therefore, when these bandits are short of food, they have only two choices. The first is to rob wealthy families. This is actually an opportunity for Li Chaosheng. Although bandits are hateful, Li Chaosheng's biggest enemies are the local landlords if he wants to gain power in Lantian.

class.

But you obviously can't touch the landlords. If you do, you'll stir up a hornet's nest and may be boycotted by the entire gentry class. In this era when both the means of production and public opinion are controlled by the landlords, openly going against the landlords

, that is courting death.

So this thing has to take advantage of the momentum. Whose momentum should it take advantage of?

Bandits are obviously the best choice. After all, they don't need the support of landlords and are not bound by the law. It is a common convention that anyone who is robbed by bandits will be unlucky. They don't have the courage to make trouble for bandits.

So Li Chaosheng likes this irresponsible method very much.

And this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. In fact, these big households are not that easy to fight. Some of them even collude with the government. Of course, this is not important. Even if you beat the big households, according to the temperament of the bandits, they will not feel enough to eat for a while.

Then at this time, the seeds of suspicion that I had planted earlier came into effect.

I would like to ask, what should I do if there is not enough food for six people to eat a piece of cake, but now suddenly there is a disaster year?

In fact, it's very simple. Just find a way to kill one and five people can eat it, right?

But originally the six people were eating according to the agreement. Isn't it inappropriate for you to suddenly attack one party? So Li Chaosheng gave them the excuse. He betrayed you. They colluded with Qingyu. Is it a problem for you to beat him? No problem.

!

So this is also a bait to lure the six overlords to fight against each other. Of course, Li Chaosheng will also be prey in Qingyu, but Li Chaosheng is not afraid. If they want to conquer Qingyu, they would have done it long ago.

So in this game of chess, there is only one player, Li Chaosheng, and the rest are chess pieces. In fact, what Hong Taotian said is right. Does it matter whether Liu Yidao of Dongtangyu really betrayed him?

It doesn't matter, now everyone wants this to be true, it is true, there is nothing to say.

The corners of Li Chaosheng's mouth turned up slightly, and there was another opportunity. Li Chaosheng never mentioned it, that is, the security army is currently only recruiting troops in Tanggou Town, and cannot leave Tanggou Town at all. This is because the landlords in other towns are silently resisting. Now

The bandits are all hungry, wouldn't it be easy to let them know it hurts and go to their place to recruit soldiers?

Just like Wang Laocai, haha, isn't he very honest now?

So in this game of chess, play slowly, there is still time.

On September 8, 1627, the second day of the eighth lunar month, the weather suddenly became cold, and people outside had to wear thick clothes to avoid the cold.

On Qingyu Mountain, Qingfeng looked at the sky as thick as ink, and his expression was extremely different. People around him also had dark faces, looking at the sky. Is it going to rain heavily?

The mountain rain was about to come, and the sky and the earth were suddenly freezing. Li Chaosheng looked at the vision in the sky and sighed: "How can human power defeat the sky?"

The weather became even colder in the evening, and the sudden cold air enveloped the entire Shaanxi and even reached the border of Shanxi. All the people looked at the abnormal sky and prayed to God not to cause a natural disaster during this critical period when crops are maturing.

Early morning of September 9th.

Click!

A thunder exploded in the sky, waking up many people from their sleep. The world suddenly changed, and the wind howled, as if it was the end of the world.

Click!

There was another thunder blast, and Li Chaosheng walked out of the room and looked at the storm outside. In the sky in the distance, there seemed to be two dragons rolling in the clouds, moving clouds and raining, and administering heavenly punishment.

Bang bang bang bang...

Soon things began to fall from the sky, hitting the roof, walls, and ground with bursts of popping sounds. Li Chaosheng reached out and caught it, and saw that they were ice cubes the size of quail eggs.

, this hit made my hand hurt.

"hail!"

Li Chaosheng looked at the ice cubes in his hands, and his expression suddenly changed. When the crops were growing vigorously, the damage caused by a hailstorm could be imagined.

"God damn it."

Li Chaosheng said something, and at this moment all the gates of the village opened, and then Qingfeng ran to the center of the courtyard with a big pot on his head, looked at the sky and said: "With such big hail, the crops, the crops will be destroyed."

It’s over.”

After hearing this, the faces of everyone in the village became ugly. They were all farmers in the past and knew what this meant. Everyone looked at the furious God in silence, speechless and staring.

At this time, large-scale hailstorms occurred in Lantian County and even several nearby state capitals. The most terrifying areas in northern Shaanxi, Fugu County, Ansai, and Mizhi County, were all the hardest hit areas. This freezing wave

The hail is likely to come from Siberia, so the farther north you go, the bigger the hail and the longer it lasts.

At this time, farmers in Fugu County were awakened by the hail. They jumped off their beds one by one and looked at the hail outside with panic on their faces.

"My crops!"

After shouting, the farmer held the clay pot at home on his head and ran frantically to his own land. At the same time, all the men in the village woke up and ran to their own land.

When we arrived at the field, we saw the green crops lodging in the strong wind and being knocked to the ground one by one by the hail. The already bulging ears of wheat were broken by the hail and lost their vitality.

Seeing all this, the farmers were heartbroken. These are grains and the hope for their family's survival. God, you are killing us!

"God, you're not letting anyone live anymore!"

I don't know who shouted, but the next moment in the dark night, I heard the man's sobs.

"Oh God, please stop now. I beg you, please leave a way for our family to survive."

At this time, an old voice sounded, and an old man knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes.

"Oh my God, don't smash my wheat, you have to smash me."

Another man knelt down and then placed the clay pot on his head on the wheat, trying to smash me!
