The winter days are very short, and it begins to get dark before the end of the evening, and clusters of torches are soon lit on the city wall, illuminating the city wall brightly, and in order to prevent the sneak attack of the Jiangning army, the Liukou even lit a bunch of bonfires hundreds of meters away from the city wall.

The walls were heavily guarded, and all the surviving civilians of the city were confined to their homes.

In the days when the Liukou occupied Anqing City, they finally understood that the songs that sang about eating his mother and wearing his mother, and the king who came and didn't pay for food were all lies, and the king didn't pay for food when he came, but he would grab food.

And these "rebels" not only robbed food, but also robbed women, but when they robbed people and things, they also told them that Lao Tzu is fighting the world for you poor ghosts, what's wrong with eating a little of you, and playing with your daughter-in-law is worthy of you!

In the face of these vicious rogues, the people of Anqing Mansion dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Compared with them, although the officials and servants of the government in the past also exploited them, at least they still have a bottom line, and although their lives are poor, they can at least survive.

Just when the people of Anqing Mansion were extremely eager for the imperial army, Li Zicheng was discussing with his subordinates overnight how to escape from Anqing Mansion.

"King Chuang, I thought that we should fight Ning Guofu next." Li Laiheng pointed to the simple map on the table and said with some excitement: "As long as you take Ningguo Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion to the east and Jinling to the south."

Whether it is Jinling or Hangzhou Mansion, it is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, as long as we capture any place, we can eat enough, so I think that the top priority now is to take Ning Guofu. ”

"Hmm...... Reasonable. ”

Some of the rogue generals couldn't help but show their eyes after hearing the two places of Hangzhou and Jinling, Jinling is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the essence of the south, as for Hangzhou, as the saying goes, there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the wealth of Hangzhou is naturally needless to say, as long as they can take any of these places, it is enough for them to eat their stomachs.

"No!"

As soon as Li Laiheng's words were finished, Hao Shaoqi shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you only saw the wealth of Hangzhou Mansion and Jinling, but you didn't see the risks. What kind of place is Jinling, it is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are five or six thousand garrisons in Jinling alone, and more importantly, it is the nest of the Jiangning army, are you really ready to attack Jinling?

Also, although Hangzhou Mansion is rich, Qianshanwei and Wu Ningwei near Hangzhou have more than 10,000 guards, if you can't take Hangzhou Mansion for a while, what will happen to you? ”

After Hao Shaoqi's words were finished, some of the thieves and generals who were originally in the directory were like being poured a basin of cold water, and the whole person calmed down.

Yes, Jinling is Yang Feng's lair, who knows how many Jiangning troops there are, and if they go to attack Jinling, isn't it that Shou Xinggong hanged himself, thinking that he would have a long life?

As for Hangzhou, it is not very easy to fight, there are several guards there, even if the current guards have been abolished, but there is no problem in putting together 10,000 people to defend the city, once they are entangled, the Jiang Ning army will rush towards them, and it is still unknown whether they can escape at that time.

Liu Zongmin spoke: "Old Hao, you can't help but worry too much. I admit that what you said makes sense, but then again, Jinling is indeed the nest of the Jiangning army, but is Hangzhou still not easy to fight?

What is there in Hangzhou, is it not clear what kind of bird the guards are now, let those guards plant land may all be good hands, but if you want to talk about war, I am afraid that even the brothers in our old camp can beat ten of them by drawing a brother out.

Even if they can muster together 10,000 people to defend the city, as long as we send our brothers into the city in advance, and when the fight starts, how long can Hangzhou City be defended? As long as we can take Hangzhou, it is equivalent to occupying the heart of Jiangnan, and when the time comes, whether it is Shaoxing Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Ningbo Fu or Suzhou Mansion, it will all be in our pocket, and he Yang Feng will not dare to risk the danger of destroying the entire Jiangnan to fight with us, right? ”

"Huh......"

Li Yan glanced at Liu Zongmin with some surprise on the side, he didn't expect this cruel and lustful guy to have such a brain, it was really unexpected to him, he couldn't help asking.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to come up with such a clever plan, this is really impressive."

Hearing Li Yan's praise, Liu Zongmin's face showed a smug look that he couldn't hide, "Strategist, you are too underestimating me, although I haven't read much, Lao Liu, I used to hear Mr. Storyteller talk about the Three Kingdoms in my hometown, and there is still a little ink in my stomach." ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone burst into laughter, but anyone who is familiar with Liu Zongmin doesn't know that the big characters that this guy knows can be counted on one finger, and now he actually dares to boast that he has ink in his stomach in front of Li Yan, a lifting person, isn't this playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong and selling articles in front of Confucius?

Li Yan also laughed a little dumbly, he looked at Li Zicheng and said with a smile: "King Chuang, what Liu Zhanglu said is reasonable, I think this is the case, let's leave a team of men and horses to garrison Anqing City to delay time, and the others will set off tonight." ”

Li Zicheng nodded: "Since the military advisor also said so, let's do this, but who wants to stay and garrison Anqing City?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, Jiang Ningjun is powerful They have seen it today, and those who stay can almost be said to be mortal, no one wants to do this drudgery, don't you see that even Liu Zongmin lowered his head and said nothing.

"Why, doesn't anyone want to take on this responsibility?" Li Zicheng asked again.

There was still no one silent, and the hall was silent.

Li Zicheng was about to get angry, and suddenly a voice sounded, if no one wants to, let me stay.

After that, the person who came stood up slowly, and everyone saw that it was a young man in his twenties, but he looked quite faced.

Li Laiheng frowned when he saw the comer, and said in a low voice: "Tian Jianxiu, what are you doing here?" ”

After that, Li Laiheng stood up and hugged his fists at Li Zicheng and said: "King Chuang, this kid is a sentry general under my command, he may be confused for a while." ”

He shouted in a deep voice: "Tian Jianxiu, King Chuang is not joking at the moment, how can he talk nonsense, and don't hurry up." ”

After finishing speaking, he also gave Tian Jianxiu a vague look and signaled him to hurry up and retreat.

This young man, that is, Tian Jianxiu, did not appreciate it, and arched his hand: "King Chuang, military advisor, I am not confused, let me stay, I am willing to break off for the righteous army." ”

Li Zicheng glanced at the young man, "You are Tian Jianxiu, do you know that this is not a joke, you must hold on to Anqing Mansion for at least six days to buy time for the righteous army, otherwise you know what the consequences are." ”

Tian Jianxiu said loudly: "Don't worry, King Chuang, if I can't stop the Jiangning army for ten days, I am willing to come to see you!" ”
