"Drive, drive, roar, hoo-"

"Hehe, third master, look, what is this?"

In the boundless, flat and snow-white world, a brown steed suddenly galloped towards this side not far away, almost juggling.

The rider on the horse, as if he was carrying something black on his shoulder, stood upright on the war horse, rushed to Li Chunlai dozens of steps away, and after a chic emergency stop, he steadily stabilized his figure, and shouted to Li Chunlai like a show off.

Rao is Li Chunlai's eyesight, and it was only at this time that he saw it clearly.

- On the shoulders of this seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, he actually carried a little wild boar that was black and covered in blood.

"Pillar, awesome. Can you catch up with your father when he was young? ”

After a while, Li Chunlai came back to his senses and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the young man called 'Pillar'.

The pillar just wanted to say something.

Not far away, an old man who had five or six points of imagination with him and was dressed in a general battle robe smiled and said: "Third master, don't praise this little cub, if you praise it again, this kid will go to heaven." His little trick is too fancy and impractical. ”

As soon as he heard the old man's words, the pillar stopped doing it, and hurriedly threw the little wild boar down, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Dad, why is this not practical?" I look at the sentry riders of the dogs, they do that a lot. Moreover, isn't it more accurate to shoot with a bow and arrows like this? ”

"You know!"

The old man didn't expect the pillar to dare to fight back, and pulled out the horsewhip on his waist, making a gesture to pick it up.

"Dad, Dad, the hero doesn't use his mouth, we can't beat people......"

The pillar is obviously not stupid, as soon as he saw his Lao Tzu like this, he turned his head and ran, and he couldn't help but provoke him Lao Tzu to scold in the back.

Li Chun looked at this vibrant scene, and his whole heart couldn't help but be soothed a lot, and said with a smile: "Second brother, my means of observing the pillars are really not weak." I'm afraid that the good hand in the real slave may not be better than him, why are you so harsh on him? ”

The old man who was called the 'second brother' by Li Chunlai was the thirty Shangguan who Li Chunlai sent to Li Chunlai in this campaign, and put Li Quan.

He is also a house slave of the Li family who changed his surname, and since his father's generation, he has followed Li Chengliang to fight the world, because he is the second in line, and he is called 'second master' when he doesn't collect it at night.

Li Chun came here, his status was obviously higher than him, and the 'second brother' was already a very honorific title.

Li Quan glanced at Li Chunlai and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Third master, what you think is too simple, wow, don't look at the little cub who has been playing with horses since he was a child, and he can be regarded as growing up on horseback, but he has not yet passed the test of real fighting, and he is still far away." ”

As he spoke, he was afraid that Li Chunlai would not understand, so he explained more carefully.

Playing war horses is not a matter of who is fancy and who is better, but 'steady, accurate, ruthless', concise and efficient!

Especially fighting against the good players among those real slaves, it is not only a matter of fighting means, many times, you have to fight for luck!

In short, this is an extremely dangerous job, and even if it is a temptation, it must be done as a matter of life!

Otherwise, if you are not careful, according to the viciousness of those real slaves, your life will definitely be lost!

Although Li Quan's expression ability was slightly lacking, Li Chunlai quickly understood what he meant.

This is not a race for the future, but a real battlefield!

Anyone's little life is only once, once any link is negligent, I am afraid that it will only be a matter of time to lose my little life.

Therefore, it can be seen just by looking at the 30th night under Li Quan's command.

But anyone who is a little older, even if he is twenty-five or sixteen, is very calm, and one is more solid than the other.

Only Li Zhu and a few hairy guys still retain the vigor of 'newborn calves are not afraid of tigers'.

Li Chunlai is not easy to evaluate for a while, whether this kind of calmness is good or bad.

After thinking about it, he changed the topic with a smile and said, "Second brother, there is Tashan shop in front, right?" We're not slowing down anymore. I didn't touch any tartars either. God is bless us. Especially at noon today, we can add a meal and get some wild boar to taste. ”

Hearing Li Chunlai change the topic, Li Quanlao also showed some smiles on his face: "Third master, we are really lucky for this matter, in the past few years, the Tartars have been making trouble one after another, and the weather is cold, and we are very desolate in Liaodong." I haven't seen a wild boar in over a year. Wait a minute, let a few little cubs clean up and think, and let the third master taste my old man's craftsmanship! ”

Li Chunlai's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he smiled and said: "Second brother, wild boars are not very common in our Shandong, so it depends on luck." With your second brother, if you want to make some game, don't you have your hands on it? ”

Li Quan was obviously very attracted to Li Chunlai's praise for him, but after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said: "Third master, that's what you say, but this thing is not easy to do." Now, so many guest soldiers have come to our Liaodong, and those of us who have no combat missions and have little food and grass are pitiful. If you go out hunting, it's good to say that if you can't catch it, then it's a big loss. ”

It took more than two days to win the trust of Li Quan's father and son, and at this time, Li Quan finally led the topic to the 'grain and grass issue' that he was most concerned about.

Li Chunlai hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, this is not enough." The emperor just sent an additional 2 million taels of silver not long ago, and it is estimated that eighty or ninety percent will come to our Liaodong. Why, why is there such a shortage of food and grass? ”

"Huh."

Seeing that Li Zhu and the others not far away had begun to clean up the wild boars, and they were drenched in blood, Li Quan was also interested.

Said: "Third master, that's what I said, but how much money does this silver have, can it get to our masters?" Do the adults above want to eat? Do you want to eat? Hey, it's hard to put it into words......"

……

"Gooo......"

In the cauldron, a pot of delicious wild boar meat is almost there, tumbling back and forth, and the aroma is overflowing.

But at this time, the sky also began to drift with flying snow flakes.

Li Chunlai's mind at this time was not on this pot of wild boar at all, but like a wood carving, he stood a little lonely in the wind and snow, looking at the direction of Tashanpu in the distance.

After Tashanpu, it didn't take long for Haizhou Wei to be.

Further on, it is necessary to enter the Liaoshen Plain, the core hinterland of Liaodong.

The destination of this trip is Shenyang, which is at the core of the Liaoshen Plain.

However, although the trip went smoothly, there were no Tartar rangers, the material reserves were sufficient, and the morale of the brothers under his command was not bad.

But Li Chunlai's heart has always been haunted by a lingering cloud of terror!

That's right!

At this time, the biggest core problem of the Ming Dynasty was not the contradiction between the civil and military, nor the nonsense and infighting between various ministries and people.

Rather—

The court has no money!

At this time, Emperor Rao is Wanli Emperor has gathered the strength of the whole country and sent various materials to Liaodong, but it is still a drop in the bucket, far from enough......

What is the reason for this, Li Chunlai is not easy to figure out at this time, after all, the water in this is really not ordinary deep......

But Li Chunlai knows!

What will happen if we continue like this?

From the limited memory of that soul, Li Chunlai vaguely knew that in that time and space, why Da Ming would be defeated in 'Salhu', a place where a decisive battle should not have taken place, and then the army was defeated like a mountain, which directly led to the collapse of the entire Liao affair.

Because the Wanli Emperor can't wait!

The imperial court can't wait!

Nearly 100,000 troops gathered in Liaodong, plus their own auxiliary soldiers, people's husbands, miscellaneous servants and other manpower, plus many 'transport troops' from all over the country to escort materials into Liaodong.

It is no exaggeration to say that millions of people are afraid.

Add to that the many livestock that are simply not counted......

People of this level can't eat horses and chew badly, and the Wanli Emperor, who has a mine at home and has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, can't bear it.

In this situation of limited resources, the civil and military groups, which already have a lot of gaps, and the various mountains between military generals and generals, how can the contradictions and comparisons not worsen, and how can there be no problems?

"Whew."

Thinking about it, Li Chunlai couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, and closed his eyes in some pain.

What the fuck.

Even if he, Li Sanye, knows the market, what about it?

With his humble status at this time, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to make a splash if he jumps in, what can he do?

Although it is said that 'being humble and not forgetting to worry about the country', Li Chunlai has been polished by reality all the way, and his mind is far clearer than ordinary people!

Freezing three feet, how can it be cold for a day?

This kind of thing, how can he Li Sanye change at this moment?

If he wants to change, he can only do his best first, take every step of his own way in this turbulent trend, and strive for more right to speak!

Otherwise, in addition to 'moths to the fire', there is also a bird?

Thinking about it, Li Chunlai gradually relaxed, and it happened that Li Zhu over there was also loudly beckoning Li Chunlai to come over for dinner.

Li Chunlai shook his neck, adjusted his mind, and walked here, about to ask Li Quan for more details.

But suddenly seeing Li Quan, who has always been an honest old farmer, his face changed suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he was full of murderous aura, and his ears quickly twitched!

"Dad, let's eat ......"

"Shut up!"

"Don't even speak!"

Li Zhu was about to greet Li Quan here, but was rudely interrupted by Li Quan, and instead leaned down, picked up the snow with his hand, and put his ear on the ground.

When Li Chunlai saw this, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly gestured to Hong Bin, Chen Liuzi and others, signaling the brothers to be quiet.

And this moment is also the time to test Li Chunlai's achievements all the way.

Fortunately, his many efforts were not in vain, and the originally slightly noisy world quickly entered a quiet state, only the cold north wind was surging around.

At this time, Li Quan finally got up from the ground, but his old eyes were full of horror that could not be concealed, and he hurriedly whispered to Li Chunlai: "Third master, the situation is a little bad!" There is a force of cavalry, afraid that at least a hundred horsemen, are coming towards us! I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not a good stubble! ”

“……”

Li Chunlai's hair couldn't stop standing upside down, how could he not understand what Li Quan meant?

I'm afraid of ...... Eighty percent is Tartar wow!

Rao is Li Chun had made a lot of preparations when he came to the front, but how could he have thought that he would sing another song while eating the wild boar pot when he was eating the wild boar pot.

The situation has changed abruptly, and it is about to reach the abyss and hell......

Mo said that at this time, there were at least hundreds of Tartars, but there were only thirty or fifty horses, what did he Li Sanye do to resist?

At the critical moment, Li Chunlai quickly calmed down and beckoned Li Quandao: "Second brother, don't panic!" There are many of us, so we may not be afraid of tartars! ”

Saying that, Li Chunlai no longer paid attention to Li Quan, and directly greeted Hong Bin, Chen Liuzi and others murderously: "Form a formation, use all kinds of chariots and horses and materials, and quickly form a formation!" Give Ben-sama everything out! Whoever dares to panic will be killed on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the flat area, which was not even a makeshift camp, was a restless and hectic place.

Although Li Chunlai had not practiced the formation of the brothers under his command at this time, he had already brainwashed them along the way for the concept of 'forming a formation'.

In particular, the skeleton of Li Chunlai's department has gradually stabilized, and it is barely possible to perform their duties.

For a while, although the scene was not very good-looking and chaotic, everyone's movements were not pulled down, and they quickly used a lot of chariots and horses to put them outside, framing an outline that was not too regular and circular.

"Report, report!"

And just when Li Chunlai and the others stabilized this circular formation a little.

Southeast.

Suddenly, two sentry riders under Li Quan's command rushed towards this side.

As soon as he found Li Chunlai's Qianzong Banner, he hurriedly rushed here and shouted: "Lord Li, it's not good, three or four miles to the southeast, there is a team of Tatar cavalry with blue flags!" They must have more than a hundred horses, at least sixty or seventy people! “
