"Marshal, ladies and gentlemen, An came from Shandong to join the Righteous Army, and he has a good understanding of the geographical situation in Shandong. In the first two years of Shandong www.biquge.info Denglai was in civil strife, and the official rebels fought each other dog-eat-dog, until the end of last spring. Therefore, the Shandong army is now entrenched in the large state capital towns. As for the border areas such as Shanxian, Dingtao, and Caozhou, the number of troops is very small, and it is still reluctant to hold on to the county seat, so how can we resist our thousands of troops. Moreover, since last year in Shandong, the Luxi area has not been hit by disasters, and there is a lot of grain stored in the villages, which is conducive to the food of our army. Dashuai, what is not to be taken from such a rich land with weak defense? If our army does not take it, but let him get the first hand from the righteous army, our army will only be able to eat other people's leftovers. ”

After Monk An finished speaking, the black scorpion's cruel eyes were already full of fierce light.

"Enter his mother, Leader An is right, let's go to Shandong, eat his mother, rob his mother, and hug a beautiful girl at night, just let Lao Tzu change his taste!" One hair smirked.

"Dashuai, it's just that now the pontoon bridge from Yucheng to Shanxian has been demolished by Minggou, how can our army pass?" The mountain tiger, who also had a happy face, suddenly thought of this and asked urgently.

"The marshal is in a panic, there are many residual boats in the villages along the river in Yucheng, and after our army has collected all the things, it is just to cross the river in one fell swoop." Monk An said loudly with confidence.

"Good! Damn, just do what Boss An says! In the past few days, we have been collecting boats quickly, and after crossing the river, Monk An, you will be the guide, and everyone will open the meat! The black scorpion ordered with a sneer.

"An obeys the orders of the marshal!"

。。。。。。

Thousands of people from the Black Scorpion Department were searching for boats along the river with great momentum, and the sentry scouts on the Shanxian watchtower opposite were all frightened when they saw this situation.

As a result, the news that the Liukou was going to invade the boundary of Shandong was quickly reported by the sentry to Zhao Yanqing, the county commander of Shanxian County, and Zhao Yanqing immediately reported it to Nicheng, the prefect of Yanzhou, and Nicheng urgently reported it to Li Maofang, the governor of Shandong.

Li Maofang, who learned the news, was taken aback.

He originally thought that these rogues would not be able to come to Shandong because of the obstruction of the Yellow River, but he didn't expect that these rogues had already made up their minds to cross the Yellow River to Shandong, which caught the governor Li Maofang off guard.

Now that the hole has appeared, how to plug it up quickly and prevent the scourge of the rogue from flooding in Shandong has become an urgent task for Li Maofang to face.

"Wozi, go to Li Xiao's Chifeng Fort with Benxian quickly!"

Li Maofang's anxious order made Chen Zilong sigh unconsciously.

This Governor Li, a few days ago, that Li Xiao was sent to the door and was willing to serve, but you were afraid that he had other plans and did not agree, and now his eyebrows are burning, and he has to rush to ask for help, why bother.

It can be seen that this Li Maofang is really a mediocre and suspicious person. I have followed this person, and my future is bleak.

However, although he thought so in his heart, he didn't say anything, and immediately accompanied Li Maofang to set off.

The two rushed to the scene, and two days later, they arrived at Chifeng Fort.

Seeing the two of them coming with a dusty face, Li Xiao was happy, but he still greeted him respectfully.

"Li Xiao, don't gossip. Now that the Liukou are crossing the river to the north in a big way, trying to get the land of Luxi, I hope that you can immediately lead the troops to set off, exterminate the thieves, and protect the peace of our Shandong army and people. After everyone sat down to offer tea, Li Maofang looked anxious, and regardless of the gift of the guest and his own identity, he hurriedly spoke.

"Oh, the land of Ruthy, is it so serious?" Li Xiao pretended to be surprised.

"Li Qianhu, some time ago, you offered to send troops to Luxi to fight against the Liukou, and the governor was also happy, but because he was busy with affairs, he didn't reply for a while. Now that the matter is urgent, the governor made a special trip to Chifeng Fort to negotiate with Lord Li on this matter, and hoped that Li Qianhu would not shirk it. ”

Chen Zilong could see that Li Xiao's words were just a pretentious gesture, and he saw that Li Maofang was embarrassed, so he hurriedly played a round on the side.

"Li Xiao, Kou is like fire, don't delay. Benxian now asks you, how many days before we can send troops? Li Maofang was really anxious, and he didn't want to say more nonsense.

Li Xiao laughed secretly in his heart, this Li Maofang is really a donkey, and he has to be whipped to go uphill, which is ridiculous and lamentable.

However, Li Maofang is such a passable Ming official, who does not seek merit but seeks no fault, and the entire Ming Dynasty is like a cow's hair, and Li Xiao does not want to worry more about this matter. After all, now the other party is in a hurry to ask for himself, but he can talk to him about the conditions.

"Sending troops to fight against thieves is the duty of my Ming officers and soldiers. Once Li Mou's words are out, he will believe them. It's just that Li has a sentence in his heart, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not? ”

"Li Xiao, you don't hurt to say it."

"Lord Governor, I will tell you the truth, my Chifeng Fort is more than a thousand miles away from the border of Shandong and Henan, and it is really hard to march around. Our army is now sending troops to fight against the bandits, and even if they return after victory, it is difficult to guarantee that no other bandits will take advantage of the situation. If this is the case, our army will always run long distances, the soldiers will work hard, and the morale of the army will be depressed, but the rogues from all walks of life can always wait for their work, and our army will not suffer. In this way, it is not easy for our army to crack down on the thieves and ensure the peace and tranquility of the army and people in Shandong. ”

"Then Li Xiao, what do you mean?"

"I would like to ask the governor for his approval, and set aside a piece of land in Shanxian County, where the rogues have invaded, to be garrisoned and defended by our army. If there is such a garrison deterrent as our army, the small group of rogue bandits will definitely not dare to attack, but the large group of rogue bandits, our army can hold on to the fort, so it is much easier to eliminate the rogue bandits. ”

When Li Xiao spoke, his face was sincere, and Li Maofang's eyes were complicated and speechless for a long time.

This Li Xiao, who is said to be the emperor of the party, still wants to find an enclave for himself in Nashan County.

I don't know why Shanxian County, whose land is barren and often flooded by the Yellow River, is so attracted to this Li Xiao?

It's just that I still have the conditions to reject him?

If the thieves are rampant and wreak havoc in Shandong, he, the governor, will come to an end.

Li Maofang subconsciously looked at Chen Zilong, saw that Chen Zilong was nodding slightly, and signaled himself to hurry up and agree.

After a long time, Li Maofang let out a long sigh and said to Li Xiao: "In this case, this constitution agrees. Quasi-Li Xiao, near Shanxian County, like this Chifeng Fort, choose a place within a radius of two miles, build a fort to garrison the army, prevent thieves and protect the people, as a long-term defense plan. ”

"My lord, the land of two miles is too small. If our army wants to be stationed there, it is really difficult to be confined to one place with Chifeng Fort, and it is necessary to build more watchtowers and pier forts in order to respond to the police in time and to protect them thoroughly. Li Xiao replied calmly.

Li Maofang's face trembled unconsciously.

This Li Xiao seems to be really at his own level. Now, I have asked for help, but it is really difficult to refuse him.

"Then according to Lord Li's wishes, how much land do you need to get?" Li Maofang said lightly.

"Your Excellency, at least a radius of ten miles."

"Okay, ten miles is ten miles, Benxian agreed." Li Maofang gritted his teeth and agreed.

Li Xiao was very happy when he saw that the matter had been negotiated, but his face was silent, and he bowed his hand to Li Maofang and said: "Since the governor has promised it, our army should work hard!" In addition, I also asked my lord to arrange all parts of Yanzhou to support our army's food and grass, and after Li was ready, he immediately led the army to set off. ”

"Okay, just as you Li Xiao said, this constitution will make proper arrangements, and I hope that Li Qianhu will succeed in suppressing thieves as soon as possible!" Li Maofang squeezed a smile on his face and said.

"But please wait for the Governor!"

。。。。。。

Five days later, the Black Scorpion finally gathered all the boats and crossed the river to the north.

When the Liukou entered the realm of Shanxian County, he immediately showed his hideous face, and plundered the villages everywhere, and the entire southern part of Shanxian County was suddenly covered with swords and blood, and mourning was all over the field.

However, the black scorpion did not have much smile on his face.

Over the years, they have looted many villages, only to find that most of the local villagers have fled, and only some of the old and weak are still hiding in their homes. In the search of the villages, the food obtained was only enough to fill the stomach, and there were very few treasures such as gold and silver.

For the black scorpion and his subordinates, this single county place is really like a piece of chicken ribs. It's a pity to discard it.

Of course, the black scorpion didn't know that these villagers had been notified in advance by Li Xiao's security department, asking them to flee to the county seat early, or temporarily go to other counties to join relatives, except for some stubborn and unpersuaded villagers and the old and weak, most of the villagers have been evacuated.

As for the remaining food, the Security Department deliberately kept it, intending to let these rogues still have some harvest, so that they would not flow too fast because of lack of food, so as to get out of Li Xiao's control.

In a fit of rage, the black scorpion ordered the old and weak to be killed on the spot, and all the looted villages were set on fire to ruins.

After more than a week, in addition to the county seat of Shanxian County, under the leadership of Monk An, the Black Scorpion Department almost swept the entire Shanxian County, and found that the villages everywhere were like this, the grain, gold and silver obtained were very small, and the people who were captured were mostly old and weak, which was useless.

The black scorpion felt more and more that something was wrong, and he was suspicious, so that night, he ordered all the generals to gather in an abandoned ancestral hall.

"Huh!"

There was a sound of a knife drawing, and a knife rested horizontally on Monk An's neck.

"Monk An! Our army plundered many villages, but they didn't get much from it. Dog into you are not lying to us! If you have half a lie, Lao Tzu will cut you with a knife! A hair gritted his teeth and roared, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

There was a sudden silence all around.

Monk An squinted his eyes and found that the black scorpion sitting on top of him also had a dark face, and his eyes were staring at him fiercely.

"Dashuai, since all the brothers can't believe it. There's nothing to say about it below, let the brothers cut off this worthless head. Monk An sneered.

"The dog entered, do you think I wouldn't dare?" A hair's face was hideous, and he pressed the knife down, and Monk An immediately crawled out of the neck.

"Stop!"

The black scorpion shouted angrily, and a hair Fang drew his knife into the sheath in hatred.

"Monk An, it's not that Ben Shuai is suspicious. At the moment, this is indeed a little strange. According to our army's past experience, the villages and villages that our army has looted are either unguarded and our army has gained a lot, or they have made preparations that make it difficult for our army to collect their grains. And now that our army has arrived in this single county, it is strange to say that the food obtained everywhere is only enough to satisfy the stomach, as if someone has calculated the number of our army. Monk An, tell me, what is going on? The black scorpion said this in a dull voice, and his eyes looked directly at Monk An again.

Monk An looked at the decayed and falling wooden window on the opposite wall, his eyes were calm, but he didn't seem to hear it.

"Dashuai asked you, are you deaf!" The mountain tiger also said viciously on the side.

"Dashuai, An just wants to say, how is the current Shanxian place compared to the situation in Yucheng, Henan?" Monk An finally spoke.

The black scorpion was stunned, he didn't expect Monk An to speak like this. He replied: "Now here, of course, it is much better than starving for lack of food and food in Yucheng. ”

Monk An had a smile on his face, and he said again: "Then let me ask the marshal, our army is coming across the river with such a huge momentum, how can those soldiers and civilians of Shanxian County not take precautions early, and how can they sit back and wait for our army to come and kill them?" I am sure that the rice and grain that our army has collected is exactly what is left over from the villagers who fled in a hurry. Don't underestimate this bit of food, if the rebels from elsewhere come first, our army is afraid that at the moment, we can only drink the northwest wind. ”

As soon as Monk An finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound in the venue.

"Then what do you say about it in the future? Can you just live like this every day without enough food and starvation? A hair sneered.

"That's right, why did you say that day, saying that as long as you go to Shandong, you will have food, clothing and women, are you lying to us?" The Tiger shouted.

"Yes, Monk An, our army is not here to ask for food in Shandong, but to make all brothers rich and rich. Let me ask you, what should our army do in the future! The black scorpion added with an anxious expression.

"Dashuai and the brothers want to get rich, but it's not difficult."

Hearing Monk An's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Marshal, now that a single county is adjacent to each state and county, it will definitely be a great enemy for our army. If our army goes to other counties to plunder like sweeping a single county, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obtain goods. I am thinking about it, but I need to wait for it to be careless, and then attack it by surprise, which will definitely be very rewarding. ”

When Monk An said this, the black scorpion's eyes became more and more shining.

"Go on."

"Ladies and gentlemen, after our army crossed the Yellow River, during this period of time, everyone was full, just to recuperate, and then regroup. An was thinking that after our army had swept Shanxian in the past few days, it pretended to go to the south of Shanxian and said that it would return to Henan. After a few days, the neighboring counties will be relaxed, and the villagers will return to their villages. At this time, our army will suddenly attack the neighboring counties and sweep the villages with lightning speed, and it will surely achieve great gains. Silver, gold, food, women, you must have everything! Brothers want silver or women, you should choose at will. Monk An laughed and said.

"Good! What a surprise, an unprepared plan, Monk An, you fucking think of a ghost! Ben Shuai has decided, just like you said! After listening to Monk An's strategy, the black scorpion laughed and made a decision.
