Chapter 243 The Lantian Crisis
Lantian County is in full swing to build a major disaster, and the entire Lantian is developing in a good direction. Li Chaosheng is also very fulfilled every day and inspects various construction sites.
However, bad news came soon. Lantian County was targeted by the big bandits from several nearby counties. Lantian County was too fat. News of 50,000 harboring of grain in the county town spread, and the bandits nearby were starving.
They can only eat a full meal if they rob, and the target of the robbery must be a wealthy person. May I ask about the richest county in the entire southern Shaanxi area, which county is the richest, Lantian County, and that county is the most storable, Lantian County.
Then what else is there to say, rob him of the damn thing.
So the bandits from several surrounding counties fell in love with Lantian and wanted to snatch Lantian's rations.
At this time, Li Chaosheng's county yamen were filled with people, including Li Chaohu from Qingyu, Luoheita from Xiaoyangyu, Li Debao from Daiyu, Li Dezhen from Daogouyu, Li Chaoshui from Wangyu, Niu Ben from Dongtangyu, Li Chaolong, Shi Dalei and Li Chaomeng, all of these war generals gathered in the county yamen.
If this is what makes people see the bandits in Lantian County gather together, they will not be scared to death.
Li Chaohu said at this time: "According to the Ma Lai newspaper, there are four forces that are targeting our Lantian this time, namely Zhashui County, which is a gust of wind. This kid has two thousand people in his hand. Zhashui County is a poor county and cannot support many bandits, so he is the only one of them."
"There is also the Sai Bodang from Hua County who is sick of Qin Qiong. There are 1,500 people under this man, which is a great disaster."
"The third place is Shangluo's winged tiger. This is a big bandit. It has seven or eight thousand soldiers under its command, but it is known to be 10,000 to the public and is the title of the No. 1 bandit in southern Shaanxi."
"The fourth place is Chang'an Guards in Chang'an County. It is said that they also have an interest in our Lantian and may wear makeup and become bandits to attack our Lantian County."
Li Chaohu analyzed, and Li Chaosheng frowned as he heard this. In this way, there were 15,600 soldiers and horses who fell in love with Lantian, and now we only have 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Li Chaohu nodded and said, "It's almost the same, this is the case."
Li Chaolong frowned and said, "It's not easy to fight."
Li Chaosheng nodded gently and said, "The most difficult thing here is Chang'an Guard and the Tiger with Wings."
The tiger with wings has many people, the Chang'an guards are strong and the horses are strong, and the equipment is still very strong.
Thinking of Li Chaosheng, he said, "We cannot hide from these troops, we must block outside Lantian as much as possible."
"And we can't fight this battle ourselves, we have to mobilize the people to fight together."
Li Chaosheng said, and after hearing this, everyone was shocked: "Mobilize the people, but how could the people help fight the bandits?"
Li Chaosheng said at this time: "Don't underestimate the people. No matter how powerful the troops are, they will likely die in the ocean of people's war."
Li Chaosheng said here, and then continued: "We must be good at using the people to fight this battle."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng said, "Guzi."
"arrive."
Guzi immediately stood up to salute, and Li Chaosheng said: "After the meeting, spread the content of our meeting so that the people of the county know that the bandits and the official troops around us are targeting us and want to rob them of life-saving food."
"yes."
Li Chaosheng followed and said: "Qian Jin, Liu Airen, you have built a corps, and are now reorganized into the Lantian County Militia Corps. You select elites from your team, and then scatter the villages and towns to organize the young and strong people inside, and take the town as a unit, ready to support the battle at any time."
"yes."
At this time, Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin next to him and said, "State guards, post a notice in the name of the county government, saying that our county government sent militias to protect the people and lead the people in armed struggle, and hope that the people will actively participate."
After hearing this, Bai Shoumin immediately expressed his understanding.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chaosheng looked at everyone and said, "Let's take a look at the map. At present, Zhashui County, Hua County, Shangluo, and Chang'an, it can be said that all the counties bordering our Lantian are eyeing us."
"But if they want to enter Lantian, they must first take down Liudayukou. If we keep Liudayukou, they will not be able to enter. Therefore, we must make a long-term plan to deal with them and not be too hasty."
"Look at me. If Shangluo wants to enter our Lantian, he must go to Qingyu. Second cousin, you and Shi Dalei will guard here and block them."
Li Chaosheng marked the location on the map at this time.
"Then there was a gust of wind from Zhashui County. Two thousand people, with average strength, most of them were mobs, and there were no more than five hundred soldiers who could fight. If they wanted to enter Lantian, they would definitely attack Xiaoyangyu first."
"There should be no problem here by the 800 soldiers of Luoheita. If they want to attack, they will definitely cause him to suffer heavy losses."
"Then it was Sai Bodang from Hua County, who was sick of Qin Qiong. These two people were the weakest, and their strength was similar to those of the monk Peng at the time. They were full of mobs, so we had to gather heavy troops to kill him first."
Li Chaosheng said, drawing a circle on Wangyu, the only way to enter Lantian from Hua County, and said, "So the first battle is very important here."
"The last thing is Chang'an Guards in Chang'an. This is an old acquaintance. We must be more enthusiastic about him. They are refined equipment and well-trained, not weak hands. But it doesn't matter that they dare not lose too much, otherwise the superiors will not be able to explain it. After all, he is a sneak attack on our Lantian. If it is made public, they will be a rebellion."
"So they will have many concerns when fighting. At this time, as long as they guard the gate and don't let them rush out at once, it's not a big problem. If they fight for a few rounds, they will inevitably withdraw their troops."
Li Chaosheng analyzed and nodded. Li Chaosheng said, "Don't panic, it's not the first time we have fought. Most of our team are veterans in a hundred battles. We have a great chance of winning this battle.
And even if we really can't stand it, at the last moment, the people will still help us defend Lantian County.
Li Chaosheng said, and the eyes of many generals were bright. After seeing him, Li Chaosheng said, "Brothers, work hard. After this battle, we can rush out of Lantian County and extend our tentacles to other counties. These small Lantians are not our targets.
After hearing this, the generals all widened their eyes, and they even looked forward to the arrival of war.
At present, there are more than 5,500 people in Li Chaosheng. After such a long period of expansion of Liudayukou, each of them has 600 soldiers.
In addition, Li Chaosheng also had an 800 security army, and in addition to the Construction Corps, Li Chaosheng also had an 80,000 or 9,000 people under him. However, the Construction Corps was not considered a soldier, and when it comes to determination, it could only be considered a militia.
But don’t underestimate the militia, the militia is also very powerful in combat.
After Li Chaosheng finished the arrangement, all the generals returned to the mountain overnight to prepare. After all, these bandits came to kill him at some point and everyone left. Li Chaosheng called Wang Guixiang over and told him to lead troops out of Lantian tonight and go to Shangluo.
After receiving the order from Li Chaosheng, Wang Guixiang took the cavalry company out of Lantian overnight, headed straight to Shangluo, and then hid among the mountains and forests.
The storm was about to come, and the wind filled the building. Li Chaosheng sent everyone away and his eyes became brighter. Lantian was just the smallest base area. What he wanted was the entire Shaanxi and the whole world. This Lantian was the spark that was destined to set off a prairie fire.
Li Chaosheng thought about looking at the map to see if there were any missing items, but there were no missing items at the moment.
It was late at night, and in the surrounding counties, a group of bandit leaders were peeping at Lantian. A gust of wind in Zhashui sat in the village and listened to Xiaozai's report. Lantian County was blocked. Xiaozai had climbed a mountain road all night. The mountain road was rugged and he almost fell to death.
A gust of wind heard the report and his eyes lit up: "Interesting, this Lantian County is indeed so powerful?"
"The biggest obstacle in Lantian is Zhang Mazi from Qingyu. He has thousands of troops under his command and is stronger than us. It is not easy for us to steal them."
After hearing this, the eyes gradually became sharper and said, "So we can't do this by ourselves. Contact Sai Bodang and Qin Qiong from Hua County, and said I want to join forces with them to conquer Lantian."
At this time, someone said: "Shang Luo's winged tiger has the strongest strength, why don't we contact the winged tiger?"
A gust of wind heard this and looked at the following person and said, "Contact the Tiger with Wings. That guy has long wanted to annex the strength around him. The gap between us and him is too big. If you go there, you can only become cannon fodder under his command."
"Remember, United should find someone with equal strength."
"yes."
"By the way, you can continue to go back to Lantian to find out the news."
A gust of wind said to a person beside him.
After hearing this, the man went back immediately. At this time, Shangluo's winged tiger, and his subordinates said to the winged tiger: "Sir, Zhang Mazi, the bandit of Lantian, is amazing and has Qingyu, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Should we contact other bandits to unite to attack him?"
After hearing this, he laughed and said, "Do we have to join forces with other bandits to attack Lantian? Go and send someone to Qingyu and say to Zhang Mazi: We will fight Lantian County. After the matter is completed, he will be given 10% of the food, as long as he borrows a road for us."
After hearing this, the subordinate frowned and said, "Sir, can he agree to do this?"
The winged tiger laughed; "If you don't agree, you will destroy him, hahaha..."
"The king is mighty, the king is mighty."
Everyone immediately echoed loudly after hearing this, and the winged tiger laughed loudly, with an unconcealed arrogance on their faces. Lan Tian was not his opponent.
Chang'an County, Chang'an Warehouse, the commander was drinking, and Hu Wan, Cao Qianhu and Tang Qianhu were on the side. These three were all the confidants of the commander.
The commander glanced sharply at this time and said, "This time, Lantian and his party must keep it confidential. There must be no leakage of the slightest news, otherwise you and I will lose your head."
After hearing this, everyone was silent. Hu Wan said for a long time: "Brother-in-law, we are all officers and soldiers at least. Let's go and snatch the food from Lantian County..."
Before Hu Wan finished speaking, he was stared at by the commander, and then said: "Shaanxi is already ruined. The court has given up on this land. This year, the court should have organized disaster relief. However, the court has not entered Shaanxi until now."
"Of course, whether the court can save the disaster or not has nothing to do with us. We just serve as soldiers and eat food. But I went to Xi'an a few days ago to ask for food and money. They told me that there was no food in Xi'an Prefecture and asked us to raise food and money by ourselves. My mother, I raised it by myself. Where can I go? After searching for it, I can only focus on Lantian."
"Lantian is fat, 50,000 yuan of grain is enough for us to eat for several years. After doing this, we not only don't hate the food, but we can also sell some things. Hahaha... Can this be let go of business?"
After hearing the commander's words, everyone was silent. This transaction cannot be let go. After all, the soldiers who were in the army had no food and salary. Will they starve to death?
Why are the bandits in Shaanxi growing stronger and stronger? Apart from the fact that the bandits are strong, the biggest reason is that the court's food, salary and equipment are not in place, and there is nothing. Why do you work hard for you?
But this is the case, but some things cannot be placed on the surface, at least the court cannot know that the government army robbed the food of its own government office. If the court knows that this is not required, at least Hong Chengchou will turn against him. This person commander has met once and knows that what this person values most is order.
I have told people more than once that people say that the Ming Dynasty was decayed and was about to collapse, but as long as he was Hong Chengchou, the Ming Dynasty could not collapse, and he would not allow the Ming Dynasty to collapse.
What a heroic word, I have to say that he has really done it. It is precisely because of his existence that many people are afraid that this Ming Dynasty did not produce more rebels, but the court is not doing well.
The commander talked to everyone for a while and then said, "For this action, Hu Wan, you will lead the team. Lao Cao and Xiao Tang, please be careful to fight quickly and decide quickly. In addition, you should not fight in love. If the opponent resists fiercely, you can consider retreating. The most important thing is not to let the opponent catch prisoners, especially those who are alive."
After hearing this, Hu Wan, Cao Qianhu and Tang Qianhu nodded together. They knew the seriousness of the matter and knew what they should do. At this time, Hu Wan said, "Brother-in-law, once it is revealed, you will say that I acted without authorization. I will bear all the blame at that time. I just want you to treat my sister well. It is not easy for her."
After hearing this, the commander's face immediately said gloomy: "Hu Wan, why are you talking like this? Your sister is still waiting for you."
Hu Wan glanced at the commander and said, "It's better to do what I said, I'll go down first if I can."
Hu Wan left, and the commander looked at Hu Wan's back and frowned slightly. What does this kid mean? Although he asked Hu Wan to lead the team and didn't go, he would have such thoughts, but if you say it in public, what should you do if you ask me to do?
After leaving the house, Hu Wan looked at the sky and didn't look at the tent behind and thought, I don't know you yet, I just wanted me to take the blame. If I say it now, I can still show my loyalty, otherwise I will lose everything by then. Now you don't want me to lose the matter and take the blame. In order not to let Cao Qianhu and Tang Qianhu feel disappointed, you will definitely not give up on me directly unless you have to. I will be safer.
Hu Wan thought about looking towards Lantian, and felt a little uneasy. The fighting power of the bandits in Lantian is not weak, so don’t touch them this time.
