Today’s three chapters will be posted directly so that book friends will not miss Li Miaomiao, a class dissident in the army.
==============
On the second day after conquering Dengzhou, Li Zicheng began to urge Cao Ying to move his camp as soon as possible to join forces at Desheng Village. However, Luo Ru had just conquered Dengzhou and felt that he had not plundered too many supplies in Dengzhou yet. How could he do it so quickly?
I feel a little dissatisfied about leaving.
Li Zicheng's intention lies here. He knew that Cao Ying's military discipline was poor and staying in Dengzhou would not only ruin the Chuang Army's recent good reputation in Henan, but also cause the local people to suffer more.
Although he knew that he needed to find ways to hold Cao Ying back, Niu Jinxing also suggested that Li Zicheng sacrifice a Dengzhou to let Cao Ying's soldiers free to loot, kill, and loot. The pleasure of looting, burning, and looting is not unlimited. What most ordinary soldiers want is not to invade.
A large plunder, but a more stable and orderly life. If you indulge Cao Ying now, you can better recruit the general soldiers of Cao Ying in the future.
"Marshal, allowing Cao's camp to plunder will never make the soldiers support Luo Rucai even more. Why? The soldier robbed the treasures by himself. No matter how many things he grabbed, what he thought in his heart was that they were stolen by himself, and
It was not that Luo Rucai gave him the opportunity to rob. On the contrary, the marshal prohibited the soldiers from looting, and all the captured goods were distributed uniformly. The soldiers were rewarded for their military exploits, but the first thing they thought about was that this was the marshal's reward.
"
"In short, only when Wei Fu is at the top can he win over people's hearts. Cao Cao's use of troops to plunder may make the soldiers happy for a while, but in the long run, it will make Wei Fu at the bottom. Over time, everyone will be disappointed.
I only remember how the marshal talked about meritorious service and rewarded him, but I will forget how many opportunities Cao Cao gave his soldiers to plunder wantonly."
Niu Jinxing's judgment cut into people's deepest desires and penetrated deeply. However, Li Zicheng still cared about the people of Dengzhou and could not be ruthless enough to sacrifice the people of Dengzhou and play a power game with Luo Rucai.
He also laughed at himself: "I don't know how many people's blood has been stained on my hands. How can I pretend to be noble here? Hey, next time, I will listen to your plan, Qidong."
Niu Jinxing twirled his beard and sighed with his old friend Song Xiance: "Everything is good about the marshal. He does have the appearance of a dragon and the appearance of a king. The only thing that is not good is that he has taken the position of the marshal.
, many times I still think of myself as an old farmer in northern Shaanxi when considering things. If this is not changed, it will lead to serious trouble sooner or later."
Song Xiance chuckled and said with a crooked grin: "Since ancient times, those who want to become emperors must first put their buttocks on the dragon's throne to think. But the marshal still sits on the old farmer's seat, whether he can achieve success or not.
Great cause? But no matter what, this is much better than a group of hypocrites in the Ming Dynasty."
Niu Jinxing raised her eyebrows, feeling that Song Xiance's words had a clear meaning, so she said no more.
After that, Luo Rucai, under Li Zicheng's repeated urging, finally followed his instructions and drove Cao's camp to the vicinity of Xiong'er Mountain.
Luo Rucai did not go directly to Desheng Village. Instead, he found a dangerous site more than ten miles west of Desheng Village and built Cao Ying's old camp to house his family, women and children.
During these times, the food needed by Cao Ying was basically provided by Tian Jianxiu and Wu Ruyi who paid the camp's rations, and Luo Rucai did not have to worry about it. Money, jewelry, cloth, clothing, wine and meat, these things were all provided by Luo Rucai as long as Luo Rucai spoke.
There is nothing that is not given.
From this point of view, he and his soldiers all believed that joining the Chuang Army was the right move. The treatment in Cao's camp was indeed much better than when he camped with Zhang Xianzhong.
After Li Zicheng returned to Desheng Village, he saw that Bai Wang was so successful in running the two mountains and two villages and that the material foundation of the Chuang Army was so strong. He also received Li Laiheng's advice and made up his mind to deal with it in this way.
After Li Laiheng welcomed the main force back to Desheng Village, the first thing he did when he saw his old boss after a long absence was to emphasize to Li Zicheng the importance of winning over Cao Ying.
"We meet Cao Ying's food and salary needs, firstly, to win over the hearts of Cao Ying's soldiers; secondly, to prevent Cao Ying from harassing the people too much. Although Cao Shuai can keep his posture very low, he is very concerned about face in his heart.
If there is no need, the marshal should go to Cao Ying's old camp to discuss matters as much as possible when something happens, instead of inviting Luo Rucai to Desheng stronghold to handle matters."
Li Zicheng and Li Laiheng agreed. The more he watched, the more he felt that Li Laiheng was considerate and considerate in everything he did. Although he was young, he was much more mature than Li Shuangxi.
Moreover, Li Laiheng has been leading the army alone recently, and he has been highly praised by Li Guo and Liu Fangliang. They say that he has made rapid progress in martial arts and military use, and has the demeanor of a steady warrior. Li Zicheng even sighed in his heart, in Zhuxi nearly two years ago
When he was in the county, he should not have been sick and missed the opportunity to directly adopt Li Laiheng as his adopted son.
He treated Cao Ying according to Li Laiheng's suggestion. Luo Rucai and his trusted generals used to feel resentful because of Zhang Xianzhong's arrogance, but now they were satisfied to see Li Zicheng treating him with courtesy.
It turned out that although Luo Rucai and his generals said they wanted to support the Generalissimo verbally, they were mentally prepared to leave the army at any time and pursue their own future if they didn't get what they wanted. Now that they were stationed in Xiong'er Mountain, it didn't take long for them to join the army.
Brothers Yang Chengzu and Yang Shengzu, who like to break into camps, no longer talk nonsense about going back to find Zhang Xianzhong.
By the end of July and the beginning of August, although the army and the army were still very slow, they finally caught up with Nanyang. According to confirmed reports: the new governor of Shaanxi Province, Fu Zonglong, was about to come to Henan to command Henan.
Renlong and other capable Qin troops, together with Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, worked together to annihilate the Chu army.
In the past, because of the "King Tiande" incident, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, and He Renlong, the general of the Qin army, had a tacit understanding with the Chuang army and sent half a dozen to the Chuang army. Therefore, Li Zicheng traveled back and forth several times in northern Henan and western Henan, without any surprises.
risk.
But once Fu Zonglong comes to Henan, he and the supervisor behind him, Ding Qirui, can unified command the officers and soldiers of Henan. It will be very difficult for Li Xianfeng and He Renlong to let go.
Therefore, the atmosphere in Xiong'er Mountain suddenly became tense. In addition, Li Zicheng provided Cao Ying with empty bags, which also caused the food reserves in Desheng Village to drop rapidly. If we did not take the initiative, everyone would be hungry again.
Li Laiheng also felt that the situation had changed suddenly, and the air was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. He was still thinking about "Sword Horse Dan" Luo Yanqing, but Cao Ying was not stationed in the same place as the Chuang Army, so there was really no chance for the two to meet.
And for some reason, whenever Li Laiheng said he planned to go to Cao Ying to look for Luo Yanqing, he would suddenly have diarrhea and become unable to stand, which was also strange.
However, before Li Laiheng could figure out how to find an excuse to go to Cao Ying to see Luo Yanqing, an uninvited guest came to talk to him.
"Brother Shuangxi? If you don't have a good rest, why are you here? I don't know how to drink. If you want to find someone to drink with, it's better to find Waqi."
Li Shuangxi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly came to visit, which surprised Li Laiheng. However, the two were old friends after all. Li Laiheng was able to join the camp in the first place only because of the help of Li Shuangxi and Bai Wang. After all, Li Laiheng was now considered his uncle in seniority. Gao Yigong of Gao Yigong calls him "Yigong" every day. Now that he is "Yigong", he can still call Li Shuangxi brother, which is considered to be a sign of respect for him.
Seeing Li Shuangxi's gloomy look, he smiled and said, "What are you worried about? Tell me and I'll help you think of a solution."
Li Shuangxi held half a bottle of wine in his hand. He raised it and drank "Tons, tons, tons" several times. The bitter wine went into his throat and his heart ached. He pursed his lips and sighed: "Recently, my adoptive father always criticizes me for being ignorant. , Uncle Yufeng also wanted me to study more with other people in the camp. I told Dang Shousu today that I wanted to find you, little tiger, to take classes, but in the end, Shousu scolded me again, which is really frustrating."
Li Laiheng knew that Dang Shousu didn't like him who was promoted quickly, but he didn't point it out. He just comforted Li Shuangxi and told him not to care too much.
He also helped Li Shuangxi analyze it, saying that Tian Jianxiu wanted him to learn more from others because he wanted Li Shuangxi to learn how to get along with his wife. Didn’t he marry Tian Jianxiu’s daughter? He should spend more energy and attention on this aspect, and don’t always take it for granted. All the energy is spent on marching, fighting, and training to lead troops.
I think Li Zicheng meant the same thing. There is no need for Li Shuangxi to tighten himself up too much. He should learn how to get along with his family. Didn't the marshal give birth to a daughter recently? I heard that he loved her so much that he named her Huirou. You, Li Shuangxi, are you? Isn’t it time to work harder in this area?
Li Laiheng untied Li Shuangxi's heart knot with just a few words, allowing him to let go of the heavy pressure. He also beat his chest and said with a smile: "Brother Shuangxi has a lovely wife at home, so he should take more care of the military affairs. I can help you take care of her, but no one can help with your sister-in-law's affairs, so you have to work hard on your own."
