"Let's fight a decisive battle." This decision shook the whole hall at once.

"Let's fight a decisive battle." Look at the closeness around you, especially look at He Renlong. Although He Renlong's face was full of sadness, he still spared no effort to command. That's the only thing we can rely on now.

gritted his teeth and waved his hand fiercely, as if he was cheering himself up, and even more so by cheering up the cronies present.

Decisive battle, is it possible?

Although the momentum of waving his hand was very good, the governor Li Yingqi, who had just been in high spirits, at this time, in front of everyone, was already exhausted, his waist was rickety, and he no longer had the kind of righteousness to guide the country.

"My lord—" He Renlong fell to his knees in pain, and after kowtowing fiercely, he raised his head with blurred teary eyes, arched his hands, and shouted sadly.

"Yes, sir, think twice." The commander-in-chief, Du Wenhuan, also hurriedly started fighting, and could no longer care about Mingzhe's reserve to protect himself, and admonished the governor who had lost his mind: "If we rush out of the army at this time, then the strength we have worked so hard to accumulate will be ruined, please think twice." ”

"Is there any other way?" Li Yingzhi turned around helplessly and spread his hands out to a few of his capable cadres.

In this helpless inquiry, for a while, everyone in the lobby closed their mouths.

"But—" He Renlong opened his mouth to say something, but just as he spoke, he closed his mouth.

"What else?" Li Yingzhi asked tiredly: "There is no shortage of food and grass, and there is no hope for reinforcements, what more do you want?" ”

Yes, there is nothing left, how can you continue training without food and grass? Without reinforcements, if it drags on, it can only drag itself down, and can only let the thieves continue to grow. So, He Renlong looked at Zhang Yuan, who had always supported Hong Chengchou and himself, for help.

"As long as you give me two months of food and grass." This request is really a bit reluctant for Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan understood He Renlong's eyes, but shook his head helplessly. With Zhang Yuan's current strength, not to mention that 30,000 military horses do not need to be paid silver, but only three full meals a day, which can fully support an army of 50,000 for a year.

However, just now, the general soldier, a deliberate or unintentional proposal to disguise the enemy, has already dispelled many of his ideas.

He Renlong didn't get the support of his brother and brother, and he hurriedly looked at the chief soldier for help, he was already sitting on a boat, how much should he know that now is a critical juncture, how much should he say something for himself, these 30,000 are filled into the mouth of the thief, so where do we people have a chance to turn over?

Why didn't Du Wenhuan know the situation at this time? So, he quickly stood up and bowed to Li Yingzhi, and said cautiously: "But-" Seeing the governor's impatient appearance, he sighed in his heart, but for the sake of Da Ming and a duty of a soldier, he could only muster up the courage and whispered: "However, we really can't fight a decisive battle now, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the training is not just the beginning, and letting these newcomers fight a decisive battle with the thieves can only be sent to death." My lord, do you want to hold on for a while? "Look at He Renlong.

He Renlong understood, took a step forward, and said firmly: "Half a month, as long as you give half a month to the humble position, and then recruit 10,000 Ding Zhuang, on the basis of my own army, I must give the adults a strong army." ”

Saying this, He Renlong, who has always been upright, was also ruthless, and when he was unintentionally deceiving, he also secretly made up his mind that as long as there is grain and grass, and there is half a month, he must make some achievements, not to mention annihilating the thieves, at least he can protect himself. Yes, self-preservation.

"The military situation is here, so is there any other way?" Li Yingqi sat down again, holding his forehead with his hand, and asked weakly.

Du Wenhuan hurriedly stepped forward, with no hope, and made a tentative proposal, "Is it according to the prefect's plan, clarify the interests and disadvantages, and borrow grain from the prince, as long as the prince takes out half of it." Looking at the indifferent governor, he knew that his proposal was close to his dream, so he carefully changed his words: "As long as the prince takes out 20%, he can recruit 50,000 or 60,000 troops in a short time, and after training, he can fight the thieves for a long time." ”

"No matter how hard it is, I am willing to transport another 10,000 stones of grain and grass in Yan'an." Zhang Yuan was also anxious, and he no longer complained at this time, in order to exterminate the thief, he was out of the way, 10,000 stone grain and grass is only 10,000 or 20,000 silver, but it really needs 100,000 silver to be transported here, but at this time, what else can I do?

Governor Li Yingzhi shook his hand, he didn't think about borrowing grain from the prince, this was his intuition. In fact, in history, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, besieged Luoyang, and the governor of the city borrowed grain from the king of Luoyang, hoping to make up the food and salary owed to the soldiers for three years, so as to defend the city and save his life, but the prince of Luoyang said: "If you want to take it, you will have to take a thousand taels, or you will take my life." Then he brushed his sleeves away, and as a result, the soldiers mutinied and the city was broken, and King Fu was captured in the cellar, and he met Li Zicheng and was willing to live with his family, but it was too late, and Li Zicheng cooked him and the elk alive, and the name of Fu Lu soup was distributed to the soldiers. And it was this King of Qin, when Li Zicheng's troops forced Xi'an, because the elite of the Shaanxi official army had been annihilated, the defensive force in Xi'an was very weak, and the local officials left 5,000 Sichuan soldiers passing through Xi'an to assist in the defense. At this time, the weather was already relatively cold, and the Sichuan soldiers had no warm clothes. The bureaucrats persuaded Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, to take out some money to buy cotton clothes for the soldiers in order to boost morale. The request was rejected by Zhu Cunshu, and Wang Genzi, the deputy general defending the city, was greatly dissatisfied and decided to surrender to the rebels. He wrote a letter of appointment and shot to the city, and opened the east gate to welcome the righteous army into the city, which shows that the prince of the Ming Dynasty loves money as his life, no, love money is more important than life. As for borrowing grain, there is absolutely no hope.

Yan'an transshipment, although it is an emergency, but as Du Wenhuan said, it is just a disguised enemy, where can the army be organized? Really those horse thieves who got grain and grass, when they fought with the thieves, stabbed themselves in the back again, and everything was repaired.

I was reported that those horse thieves were fighting hotly, and those horse thieves thought that it was a great honor for the thieves to make meritorious contributions to the thieves and enter the thieves' cavalry. This method of food and grass is still forgotten.

"And what about the rest?" The prefect stepped forward and asked. At this time, if he really lost the direct jurisdiction of Weinan, he would inevitably be convicted, and he had to ask a thing or two about his future.

When Li Yingqi saw this prefect, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was suddenly shocked, and he slapped the table and said loudly: "Gather all the rich gentlemen of Xi'an and donate for the country." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Lianggong heard it, and his whole body trembled. I deeply regret what kind of hero is I at this time? This is in trouble.

In fact, when other local officials get this edict, it is too late to be happy, this is a good time to make a fortune, and it is absolutely not a problem to get rich overnight.

However, everything is bad on this but, and it can be done elsewhere, but not in Xi'an.

Xi'an, the imperial capital of successive dynasties, the Ming Dynasty also took a fancy to it, since the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty by Hong Wuye, he rewarded the dearest son to do the king of the West King Qin, the successive generations, the branches and leaves have been countless, now, the entire Xi'an, almost all the gentry shops and merchants, are more or less connected with the King of Qin, let themselves come forward to raise donations, it is not easy to seek skin with the entire Ming royal family and the tiger, maybe the King of Qin is the first to jump out and be embarrassed by himself, then his own Wusha can not be kept no matter what.

Seeing Zuo Lianggong's pale face and retreating body, Li Yingqi shouted: "Zuo Lianggong, when is it now, are you still there to make careful calculations for your own small profits?" I don't know if this war is about the luck of the court, but it is definitely about the future of everyone here and the lives of everyone. He looked left and right with red eyes, and then, gritted his teeth, he said: "Offending the background of the gentry, after we are defeated, we may be able to go to the court and argue with those false accusations, then there is still a way to live, and now, let the thieves become bigger." Suddenly, a nervous wave of his hand, "Without the return of the Qin Wangjun, this Shaanxi will be swept by the thieves, at that time, our heads were either cut off by the thieves, or cut off by the emperor, is it the death of the present or the death of the future, what do you say?" ”

Yes, this is the situation at this time, there is no hope for Qin Wangjun to return to help, and the rest is to support the situation in Shaanxi independently. And this situation in Shaanxi, everyone can see, the thieves are already bound to win, and there is no room for everyone to go back to the loop.

"My lord, no matter what, there must be a charter to come out, the situation is already so difficult and urgent, and there is not much time left." Zhang Yuan stepped forward to persuade and began to be really anxious.

"Don't push me." Li Yingqi suddenly stood up, like a madman, waved his hands, and jumped like thunder at several of his subordinates. "Don't I want to wait for time, don't I know that the 30,000 new army is not an opponent for thieves? Don't I know that if we drag it out any longer, we will be the ones who will lose? He looked around blankly, opened his hands and muttered to himself, "But, what else can I do?" What else can I do? ”

Yes, from the perspective of the top, there is really no way, what else can I do?

At this time, after a moment of silence, a cowering general soldier suddenly stood up, and his waist was no longer as rickety as before, but as majestic as a mountain. He arched his hand to the governor of the decadent Tang Dynasty and said: "I am the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and I have the power to decide on the military. ”

Facing Du Wenhuan, the general soldier who suddenly wanted to seize power, Li Yingzhi was a little, no, he was absolutely uncomfortable, and he looked at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"I decided, Lord Zhang Yuan, I don't care if you transport it in Yan'an or buy it in Henan, you will definitely cooperate with the prefect to ensure that I have 50,000 troops of food and grass in January."

Looking at Zhang Yuan and Zuo Lianggong, who were stunned, he said in a low but firm voice: "There are still 50,000 troops for two months' salary." ”

Zhang Yuan and Zuo Lianggong nodded involuntarily under the momentum of the sudden outbreak of the general army, and under the official body of the second rank.

"He Renlong, I will exercise my power now, requisition and transfer Yansui, all the remaining troops in Yan'an will be given to you, and the army will be reorganized into 50,000 to fight a decisive battle with the thieves, do you dare to fight?"

sat still, for a long time, in the eyes of everyone, He Renlong stood up with difficulty and saluted the general soldier; "It's just a matter of going to the soup."

Du Wenhuan turned around, no longer groveling, and said to Li Yingqi: "My lord, I am willing to lead the remaining soldiers in Shaanxi to fight against the thieves." Take a deep breath and say firmly, "If you win, the world will be decided." Defeat-" paused: "All Shaanxi is lost." A deep military salute went down: "Please decide, sir." ”
