After Xu Zhanbiao received the news that Dong Zhiyuan's return army, Yu Yanlu and Bai Yanhu were about to lead more than 100,000 Hui people to escape, he immediately convened a military meeting to change his combat strategy

Huang Ding was sent to lead the army to receive Taichang Town and Zhengping Town, and the rebel Hui army broke through Ma Zhenghe and organized the defense line to form an encirclement of Dongzhi County

Xu Zhanbiao then said: "For the fleeing hundreds of thousands of Hui people, we have to cooperate with Zhang Yao of the Huai Army in the middle of the road to block the teams of Yu Yanlu and Bai Yanhu, and may intercept more Hui people, we must not let Jinjibao Ma Hualong take advantage of the situation to become bigger, this task is very arduous, and the vast Yan'an, Ansai, and Diezigou areas will be hundreds of thousands of Hui people running wildly, and we have to collect them, it is very likely that they will not be allowed to flee to Jinjibao, and we must not let Ma Hualong's strength become stronger, you must know that Jinjibao is a mountain range. There are more than 400 large and small fortresses in the stone fort, Ma Hualong has not become weak, he will not think of surrendering before, this requires us soldiers to fill in those stone forts with their lives, and those stone forts are tens of thousands of lives, and now I order the cavalry to carry out military orders as their duty, and now I order the cavalry to collect the Hui people, as long as there are fleeing Hui people in front, I will chase after me, I am not allowed to stop, it is too late to collect and kill no forgiveness, who dares to perfunctory, Lao Tzu peeled off his skin, let him personally climb the stone fort, more than 400 stone forts, climb over one by one"

"Yes" There is a cavalry officer in his hand, the officer's face is so solemn and so terrifying, as if he saw hundreds of thousands of Hui people staggering into the vast yellow earth, and the cavalry of the Qing army galloped and stepped over the Hui people with iron hooves······

Xu Zhanbiao was satisfied, seeing that his officers were all good, the kindness of women was undesirable, the military law was ruthless, and he never emphasized benevolence and righteousness, only he was lenient and relieved of the uprising, and he could tolerate all the evils, Xu Zhanbiao smiled and asked specifically: "Li Guolou, do you want to pursue Yu Yanlu and Bai Yanhu back to the army, or do you want to besiege Dongzhi County?"

Li Guolou left the authentic Li Ziying troops, there were more than 700 troops, more than 500 cavalry, and more than 400 long-term husbands, more than 700 war horses, almost all of them were cavalry, but he was absolutely unwilling to do this kind of thing when he asked him to aim his war knife at civilians, but several officers behind him had already pulled his shirt

Let Li Ziying stay and climb the city, and refuse to do it, Li Guolou said with a smile: "Deputy Marshal Xu, I will stay and let Batel lead the cavalry of Li Ziying to make meritorious contributions, you see, this is good."

"Well, very good, Battle, can you do it," Xu Zhanbiao looked at the position behind Li Guolou, and a sinister anger flashed in Battle's eyes, this is a battle for population, and it is also a time to compete with the Hui army, and the cavalry of Li Zi's battalion must be used, so he is desperate to put Li Guolou on the chess game

"Promise to obey orders, and resolutely carry out the orders of the commander," Battle took a step forward, stood with his chest and belly protruding, and killed people, he was good at this kind of thing, in the past, he fled from the Mongolian steppe to Balizhuang, and he survived by killing and plundering all the way, and no one would mention the slaughter of civilians, as long as he was not a fool, no one would mention the flames of war, and who would care about the life and death of the common people

"Okay, Battle, you will lead the Li Zi battalion and listen to Gao Liansheng's command," Xu Zhanbiao gave an order to make Li Guolou the commander of the light pole

The military meeting was held until midnight, and the officers dispersed, Guo Baochang stretched his waist and shouted: "Oh, there is another war, Sir Li, we still have different ways, and if we don't conspire with each other, I won't play with you."

"Be careful of sores on the buttocks, flies like to stare at rotten meat," Li Guolou said viciously, and hugged Guo Baochang again, and when he separated from his comrades, he would always be a little sad

Li Guolou was still not very relieved to be led by Battle to fight the Li Zi Battalion, there were too many things to think about for the Li Zi Battalion, and the war was to fight the logistics support, Li Guolou thought that the logistics supply line of the Li Zi Battalion would be promoted by Gao Lian, and whether there would be any trouble, and suddenly remembered one thing and said urgently: "Cheng Kun, Batel, and Fan Dahui will go to a meeting with me."

The lights in the cave were shining, Li Guolou stood alone, looked at the three cronies sitting on the earthen kang, and said: "Cheng Kun, last time, you said that the few members of Gao Liansheng's elder association were not from the baggage camp."

"Yes, but they haven't made any movement recently, and the three surrender factions of our battalion, Hu Dagui, Lei Qigao, and Li Heng, have not been in contact with Yang Dawazi, and Mu San, and there has been no movement, I see that their gang of elders have also closed the mountain, hehehehe" Cheng Kun was quite confident and smiling, as if he had seen through the hearts of the people, and the Qing army was advancing vigorously, who would have the heart of rebellion

Li Guolou waved his hand fiercely, as if to erase Cheng Kun's words, and said categorically: "Cheng Kun, you are farting, everyone thinks differently, to the plain area, those people will have the sky high, let the birds fly in the sea, with the pride of swimming in the fish, a large army is responsible for the burden, if the army besieges Jinjibao, the Yan'an area is the grain store, there will be millions of catties of grain and grass hoarding, there is grain and grass where you can pull out the team, and then there is no benefit, the Qing army still accounts for the vast majority, the danger of bombing the camp is still lingering like a nightmare, I must tell Gao Liansheng to go, I will go later, but recently, the members of the Elders' Association have surrendered, I am afraid that Gao Liansheng will not listen to me, and will still reuse those Elders' members, so we still prepare the second plan”

Fan Dahui asked, "Master Li, you personally told Gao Liansheng that he won't listen?"

Li Guolou smiled bitterly: "You still don't see Gao Liansheng's virtue, how stubborn and stubborn that person is, only this kind of person will make a grenade, explosives bag and storm Peng Yuanshan, if I lead the troops, how can I be so eager to capture Peng Yuanshan overnight, it seems that the morale of the army is greatly boosted, but there are endless troubles, and the whole does not treat the soldiers as people, hey, this person is difficult to say······ Li Ziying is my hard work, I will never let you kill horses to satisfy hunger and eat human flesh in the Yan'an area, we will prepare several grain storage places by ourselves, let Yang Zhao, the steward of "Cai Mao Tang", be responsible for preparing ten howitzers for me to hide there, this matter is in charge of Fan Dahui and Cheng Kun, Battle, you know it, just close your beak and don't mention it to anyone."

Fan Dahui said in shock: "Lord Li, you are so cautious, it is better to talk to Vice Marshal Xu"

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Everyone has selfish intentions, we also have to consider for ourselves, arranging a few grain points near Yan'an is also to attack Jinjibao, which is not conducive to the operation, Ma Hualong, Ma Yaobang, father and son, Jinjibao used in the retreat of Li Ziying, and Jinjibao has been independent for more than ten years, and the hearts of the people are attached, it is the hometown to defend the war, and not an inch of land will be let go, unlike Dong Zhiyuan, the eighteen marshals have the right to speak, there will always be a few moths, how to implement it step by step, and I haven't seen the border of Yan'an, I will go to Gao Liansheng to talk to him now, hey······"

Li Guolou left the cave with his hands behind his back, the lonely figure dragged a long shadow along the street, and around the corner, he knew that this was taking off his pants and farting for nothing, Gao Liansheng was too proud, his high head had never been lowered, others didn't like it, and he looked down on him in his heart, so he couldn't help it

Fan Dahui, Cheng Kun, and Battle didn't leave the cave, and they waited for Li Guolou to come back and wanted to hear the result

Wan Niang came in and poured tea and water for them, Cheng Kun smiled and said, "Wan Niang is getting more and more tasteful, and her voice will be softer in the future."

Wan Niang took a sip: "Phew, I scream like a mosquito, and Goshha can't hear you at the door."

"Imagine that the wings are infinite, this is what Master Li taught me," Cheng Kun was not afraid that Wan Niang would say meat without scruples, and there was one thing that Li Guolou would not blame them, so they dared to joke with Wan Niang without scruples

"Low-level fun, my brain is dirty, I want to tell Xiaolou" Li Guolou's wife and concubine are also divided into three, six, nine and other kinds, Wan Niang entered late, came from a humble background, and was originally an inferior servant, hearing Cheng Kun's words, he didn't think that Xu would be warm, but felt warm with each other, and gave them melons and fruits, and left the cave after a while

Fan Dahui saw that the door felt was slightly shaken by the wind, and couldn't help sighing: "Master Li's brain is so calculating, people are so terrifying, the enemy is too terrifying, he is so young, he has insomnia, what should he do?"

Battle said: "I can't sleep with this, Master, you still care more about the soldiers' voices, Master Li, Wan Niang takes care of you, what do you care?"

Fan Dahui ate shortbread and said vaguely: "Well, I know that ten howitzers, each cannon is equipped with 100 shells, and there are 3 grain points, and each grain point has 20 stones of grain and grass, which should be enough, isn't it too much?"

"Not much, I think that with two more additions, other armies can also be used, everything is foreseen, it is established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, and the changes on the battlefield are weird, and doing useless work is also for victory" Cheng Kun swallowed melon seeds and vomited melon shells all over the ground, and thought along Li Guolou's train of thought, it was his responsibility, a hidden front was in charge of him, and Cheng Kun was also tortured by insomnia

"Okay, I'll write it down," Fan Dahui wrote down the numbers in the notebook, and the chief must be well-documented in his words, which is the big difference between him and Li Guolou

"Oh, explosives, bags and grenades, as well as guns and bullets, we must have logistics, if we can't keep up, we don't even have weapons and ammunition for the war, and this must also be taken into account," Cheng Kun opened his mind and thought carefully, Li Ziying's supplies are full, and the supply line is the lifeline, and this line can continue to fight

Battle jumped off the kang again and again and said, "It's better for you to wait for Master Li, anyway, I know about this matter, go to sleep."

Fan Dahui and Cheng Kun shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and they didn't know where Li Guolou took a fancy to Battle, where he had no heart and lungs, and where did the savages only rush to kill before they understood that war was a political continuation

Cheng Kun said: "I said, Master Rice, why didn't the imperial court recall Master Li, Dong Zhiyuan, except for the loess, is the wind and sand, and the smell is dull and dead."

Fan Dahui shook his head and said: "How do I know that the emperor's will is to decentralize for three years, and now the spring is only now, you can't help it."

Fan Dahui was very weird, blinked and pulled the corners of his mouth, Cheng Kun hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, this topic could only be a little bit of water, and Cheng Kun took the map to watch Fan Dahui was writing hard at the desk, the time passed minute by second, and finally there was a sound outside the door, Li Guolou and Wan Niang talked

Li Guolou came in with a door felt, and Fan Dahui hurriedly asked, "What did Master Li Gao Liansheng say?"

"How else can I say that Gao Liansheng said that he wanted to find out that the whole thing was fooling, I didn't take me seriously, anyway, I have achieved benevolence and righteousness, we still follow the plan, or Huang Ding and Guo Baochang have brains, Gao Liansheng is not worth cooperating," Li Guolou sat on the kang and poured a cup of tea, and it was useless to say that it was broken

"Hey, Lord Li, your official position is too small, and when you become a first-class official, those Qiu Ba won't fool you," Fan Dahui spread out his hands and told the truth of the matter

"Don't talk about this, you can rest," Li Guolou sent Fan Dahui and Cheng Kun away and began to do night tours, he was not interested in the love of his children, and he cared less about Wanniang

Some time ago, looking at the map was invalid, the Qing army further occupied Shishe Town, Li Guolou's thoughts also changed, and the map target extended to Dongzhi County, and then the Yan'an area was followed, followed by Suzhou and Jinjibao

"Xiaolou, I sleep, you can't sleep," Wan Niang hinted, Li Guolou twisted his waist, and his red belly pocket revealed his plump white flesh

"Hey, Wanniang, I'm very busy, you sleep, tomorrow I'll take you to a party with Yu Deyan, dress up beautifully, let the rebels return to the army, see me, Wanniang is no worse than those ladies, and she is also a lady," Li Guolou sent Wanniang map, and the temptation was greater than Wanniang's delicate body

"Hey, I'll dress up well," Wan Niang got into the quilt and warmed her heart, Li Guolou regarded her as a lady, and let her participate in the big scene of the surrender ceremony, no longer pressing her on the bed and tossing

Li Guolou left the room with an oil lamp, a map is the key to a war, the map in his hand was drawn during the Qianlong period, and later generations said that Qianlong was poor and martial, but during the Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty was a vast territory, and the old man did everything he should do, although Qianlong spent money and wasted the country's financial resources, but the framework of Greater China was built by Qianlong, and the descendants did not do it, they would only say that the ancestors did not lose power, humiliate the country, cede the land, and do not do less, but to surpass the ancestors is the great husband
