Li Zicheng gave an order, and the small city of Longju Village was immediately filled with the sound of Jin Ge. Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi had already led their troops to set off. They wanted to sweep the Sanyao and Luonan areas to the north, but they followed Li Zicheng's orders.
It was decided that the Chuang army would not attack Shangzhou. After all, Shangzhou was very close to Xi'an. If Shangzhou City was captured by the Chuang army, it would definitely arouse the anger of Emperor Chongzhen. No matter how much Yang Sichang focused on Zhang Xianzhong, he would have to
Heavy troops were mobilized to encircle and suppress the camp.
The Little Tiger Team will leave Longju Village this afternoon and march to the southwest. Then they will first sweep some villages and villages outside Shanyang County to collect food and supplies from wealthy households. The most important task is to eliminate some local bandits.
The soldiers seized the goods and materials they had hoarded.
After that, Li Laiheng needed to join forces with Gao Yigong to surround the county seat of Shanyang County. He waited for the large troops of Li Guo and Liu Fangliang to come to support them, concentrated their forces, and tried to see if they could break through the county seat.
Li Laiheng knew that time was limited, so he urged his men to pack their bags. In the past, he always acted with Bai Wang. Bai Wang was alert and cautious, and was very thoughtful and smooth in his work. He could often help Li Laiheng handle many daily trivial business affairs.
But this time Bai Wang did not participate in the operation to sweep Shanyang County together, and Li Laiheng and Gao Yigong were not familiar with each other. Naturally, he could not expect Gao Yigong to help handle camp affairs. For the first time, he was completely on his own.
Come to handle the preparations for the troops to break camp and march. Although it is only a small army with less than a hundred people, there are a lot of things to prepare. Needless to say, basic materials such as food and fodder, and other miscellaneous items such as cloth bags, ropes, bamboo baskets, raincoats, etc.
There are many, so you need to be properly prepared.
Only then did Li Laiheng feel that he used to talk eloquently about the reform of the old camp, but when it came to the trivial practical logistics preparation, his ability to deal with it was still quite rudimentary. Compared with getting everything done without realizing it,
Bai Wang, who can easily help the Little Tigers handle the logistics and operations, is far different from him.
It’s not that he doesn’t know that the most important ability of a leader lies in how to employ people. But Li Laiheng does lack people in his pocket. Needless to say, Hao Yaoqi is brave enough to charge into the battle, but he has to deal with it at this stage.
Logistics camp affairs are a lot of fun. Although Uncle Qing is more cautious and thoughtful in character, his abilities are relatively limited and he lacks organizational and management talents. At most, he can be used as a family member who handles private matters, but cannot be used to manage the army.
.
Therefore, Li Laiheng could only do it himself. After all, he had the help of tables, statistics and many other tools, and he was also familiar with Bai Wang's various methods of handling chores. Although Li Laiheng often got confused when things increased, but overall
He has a big air, and he can always handle everything.
Uncle Qing saw how busy Li Laiheng was, so he asked A Ci to pour a bowl of tea and asked her to bring it to the young master and asked Li Laiheng to rest for a while. A Ci still looked timid, but after she got closer to Li Laiheng, her expression softened a lot.
His eyes no longer wandered back and forth.
A Ci's two pretty little hands joined hands and handed the big bowl of tea cup to Li Laiheng. Li Laiheng took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. The tea was warm, but not hot, and there was A Ci on the tea cup.
The warmth of his hand made Li Laiheng feel warm in his heart.
He handed the tea cup back to A Ci, looked at the little girl, and said, "A Ci, today I, Uncle Qing, and Wai Qi, we are all leaving the city to fight. In a moment, Mrs. Gao and Brother Gao will meet
I will pick you up and take you to the old camp. During this time, you can stay in the daughter camp and help Mrs. Gao do more errands. Don’t be lazy and don’t push yourself too hard, okay?"
The little girl dipped her fingers into a few drops of tea and wrote the word "ke" on the table. Li Laiheng couldn't help but smile. Aci couldn't speak, but when she wrote the word "ke", she seemed to be able to hear it.
Come to her charming and clear voice.
Li Laiheng heard the noise coming from outside the barracks, and he heard Gao Yigong's voice among them. Knowing that it was almost time, he asked Li Changqing, "Uncle Qing, take A Ci to the old camp...Uncle Qing,
You are already old, I just want to tell Brother Gao and let you go to the old camp, what do you think?"
Li Changqing is about 40 or 50 years old. He can be considered an old man, but he doesn't seem to have much trouble fighting with the team. But Li Laiheng feels that there are very few people in the world who are related to him by blood.
If Uncle Qing died on the battlefield, he would really be alone. So Li Laiheng thought about whether he could persuade Uncle Qing to find a job in his old camp.
But Uncle Qing was very dissatisfied. He felt that he had received relatively strict training from Li Laiheng in Mizhi and had some battlefield experience. Moreover, he felt that it was his responsibility to try to look after Li Laiheng on the battlefield if anything happened.
Li Changqing also made plans to protect Li Laiheng regardless of his life.
"I'm not that old yet, does the young master regard me as a useless old bone? There are still three kilograms of nails in the broken ship. I think even if I am really an old bone, I will fight for another ten or eight years.
, it won’t be a problem.”
"Ha, Uncle Qing is always strong! He who is in charge of the team, let's take Uncle Qing with us to attack Shanyang County!" Before Li Changqing finished speaking, Hao Yaoqi came over and intervened. Today, Hao Yaoqi wore a new uniform.
Armor, it was a piece of cloth armor that I had received from Yuan Zongdi before. The edge of the armor was red and the background was dark blue. He walked with a swaggering posture, and within two steps, he heard
The armor pieces inlaid under the blouse rattled.
"Hey, if you don't talk too much, no one will treat you as a mute." Li Laiheng was helpless at Hao Yaoqi's noisiness. He could also understand Uncle Qing's request for a fight. Based on his understanding of Li Changqing, he knew that it would be useless to talk any more.
"Although most of the officers and soldiers in Shangzhou were captured and annihilated by the intruders in Junlingchuan, the enemy we were going to fight this time was a county town after all."
"Previously, General Liu and my adoptive father personally led three to four hundred men to attack Zhuxi County. This time, only my brother Gao Yigong and I sent troops, and the number of troops was less than two hundred. Although my adoptive father later provided support,
, but the battle situation may also be more difficult. Now that Uncle Qing has made the decision, I won’t say more. In short, we must be careful on the battlefield."
"Okay, Uncle Qing, please take A Ci to the old camp first." After Li Laiheng confessed his inner thoughts, he asked Uncle Qing to take A Ci away. He looked at A Ci's little face, which was so fair that there were several blood vessels, and stretched out his arms.
He took out A Ci's right cheek, pinched it, and said, "A Ci, we are leaving, and you should take good care of yourself. Only people who can do things are accepted in the camp, you know? You have to be diligent and don't
Doing things beyond your capabilities."
Aci opened her thin lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only made two "woo ah" sounds. She was speechless, her mood became a little lower, she nodded silently, and turned the table
He held up the brand new cloth armor with both hands, approached Li Laiheng, and put it on his body.
It was also the first time for Li Laiheng to wear armor. The solid and cold armor leaves under the cloth made him gradually calm down, and his faint worries were replaced by rising fighting spirit.
He hung the tiger head waist knife on his waist, held the handle with his right hand, and received a red tassel felt hat from Uncle Qing with his left hand. Although the Little Tigers received a lot of cloth armor from Yuan Zongdi, helmets were still scarce.
For the time being, he used felt hats instead of supplies. Li Laiheng liked this kind of hat that was similar to the Fan Yang hat of the Song Dynasty. When he wore it, he looked a bit like the leopard-headed Lin Chongfeng Snow Mountain Temple.
The firewood door of the barracks was pushed open by Gao Yigong. He only wore half a piece of cloth armor and a blue smock, and walked in with an iron helmet in his hand.
"Little tiger, are you all ready? The soldiers are about to leave the city. We must fight beautifully in this first battle!"
Li Laiheng put his felt hat on the top of his head and tied the hat string tightly around his chin. Then he approached Gao Yigong, put his left hand on his shoulder, and said: "The food, grass, soldiers and horses are all ready, just wait for Gao Yigong."
Brother, you gave the order!"
Gao Yigong was also very high-spirited and full of fighting spirit. He laughed and said: "You and I are both in charge of the team. There is no distinction between superior and inferior. We can just discuss it more."
Li Laiheng also laughed twice, and his status in the Chuang camp had improved a lot. This time when he sent troops to sweep Shanyang County, Li Zicheng did not let Gao Yigong take control of the military aircraft. He had obviously acquiesced in Li Laiheng's status in the Chuang camp, at least not
