Tents made of rabbit skin, one by one, pull the sky and the earth, stretching out, you can't see the head and tail at a glance, countless general flags, team flags, and martial flags are like sorghum fields, hunting and flying in the autumn wind, countless bucket watchtowers, and strictly guarding the inside and outside.

One by one, the wheelbarrows transported the grain and grass materials transported from the fields through the mountains and rivers to the exit of the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and then loaded onto the four-wheeled carriages suitable for the plains and with higher efficiency, and then went directly to the camp.

Everything seems to be in order, step by step.

The army is no longer a pole, but a regular army through and through.

In the huge tent under the big banner that needs to be looked up, the generals and civil officials who went out to Weinan gathered together, gathered around Lu Shi, and talked about the military situation in a low or high voice, without condescension and humility, without strict ranks, everything was as it was at the beginning.

A huge map of the Weinan region was spread out on the table in front of everyone, and countless heads were sticking out there, almost all fingers were pointing.

Breaking into the south and completing the established strategy, the first thing to face is Weinan, which has been waiting for a battle.

Weinan, in the Ming Dynasty, is actually not a government, he is just attached to the road under the direct jurisdiction of Xi'an, Weinan, just a collective name for the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, now, Dengcheng has been taken by Wu Tao's military division in advance, and now everyone is facing the Jiancheng Pucheng in the Pingchuan.

This time, Lu Shiyi changed the original way of not occupying the county seat and surrounding the city with the countryside, and wanted to take Pucheng as the center of his future rule.

From the geographical point of view, Pucheng connects the seven counties in the north and the Weinan Plain, which is the throat and must not be placed in the hands of the government, even if it is just like the other seven counties, only a few officials can not be put in, this is a point.

The most important point is that Lu Shi is determined to completely control Puxian County under his own control, and no more foreign forces are allowed to interfere with it, because of the minerals here.

Not to mention the huge reserves of coal and limestone in Pucheng, that is, pyrite, bauxite, and miscanthus that has always restricted the development of the military industry in the base area, it has already made Lu Shi drool in the middle of the night.

Zhao Xing held a small wooden stick, lying on the map, pointing to the map and introducing the information obtained by the sergeant brothers to all the brothers, including Lu Shi.

"Pucheng, east of Dali County, Chengcheng County; Fuping County to the west; Baishui County and Tongchuan City in the north; South. It is the granary of Guanzhong and the most densely populated place in Shaanxi, even if there are many displaced people and serious population loss today, there are still 200,000 people here. It is the first barrier of Qinchuan, so even if the current court situation is like this, the city wall is still complete, and the soldiers are well fed. In particular, Zhang Yuan's house, who took the road of the governor of Xi'an, was supported by Hong Chengchou, and sent his most proud son Xiao Seventeen to be a garrison, and spared no effort to train the troops. Therefore, Pucheng has 6,000 soldiers, and the number of signatories can reach 20,000. ”

Standing up straight and looking at the disapproving expressions of the crowd, he had to say in an accentuated tone: "Also, there is a deputy guard in this Pucheng City that is an old friend of all of us. ”

So all their heads were raised, waiting curiously for Zhao Xing to say who this old friend was.

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "This old friend of ours is the leader of the Great Alliance of Mizhi at the beginning, who surrendered the non-sticky mud of the official army, and is now called Zhang Cunmeng." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and the surrender without mud had already made everyone angry, but now, he was standing opposite him again, how could this not make everyone grit their teeth?

Lu Shi silently, dropped the charcoal pen in his hand, and paced in the big tent worriedly, for no other reason, because he was worried about the prospects of the peasant war that had been vigorous in the late Ming Dynasty.

Since Lu Shi decided to change his mind, give up his original way of thinking, and lead his brothers and the people who depend on him to fight without hesitation, or the iron-blooded road of struggling to survive, everything should also change.

When Lu Shi compares with the history of his previous life, he is often complacent in the dark night, because his arrival has indeed changed the fate of the miserable people in northern Shaanxi in this history.

Not to mention the industrial commerce that did not exist under this great tomorrow, even the population of Shaanxi is its own achievement.

Originally, in the second year of Chongzhen, the few remaining populations under the devastation of Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang and other rogues are different now, and now, in their own seven counties, they have gathered millions, which is ten times more than in history.

With these, Lu Shi already has absolute confidence in changing the dynasty, and if you add the power of poles in various places, it will be twice the result with half the effort to achieve your goal.

However, the surrender of the non-clay gave the poles of the uprising another hope, a hope to give up resistance as they encountered, although this hope was still endless disappointment in the end, but it was in front of them.

In this way, it will cause those poles in northern Shaanxi that are still holding on to various places to give up, and this will free up the hands of the officials and soldiers to deal with themselves.

Speaking of conscience, Lu Shi's idea also has the meaning of being a gully with his neighbors, but now Lu Shi is no longer the original weak-hearted Lu Shi, not changed by his own ambitions, but by this cruel reality, by the millions of people behind him who trust him and cling to him, as well as the brothers in front of him and behind him.

Everything is slowly changing, even if sometimes, when Lu Shi wakes up from a dream, he becomes eager for quick success and becomes ruthless and sweaty, but what else? It's gone, you can only adapt.

Now, in history, the non-sticky mud who was captured and died surrendered, this history is no longer the original history, at least, the land of Shaanxi is no longer the original Shaanxi, so where will he go?

Looking at the expressions of the surrounding brothers, there was nothing else except regret and anger, such as wandering hesitation, which somewhat reassured Lu Shi.

His military heart was not shaken by this news, and Lu Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Guo Tianxing slammed his fist on the map on the table, stood up and said hatefully: "Don't stick to the mud, the old man is not dead, at the beginning, Mi Zhi rescued us and made a moth, so that we lost countless brothers in vain, and even last time, he also picked up Gao Yingxiang's house, came to my base, and wanted to annex us." The last time I fought, I really regretted that I didn't chase this old thing to the old nest to kill him, so that he could make some moves to defend it. Looking at the surrounding group of brothers who were also indignant, he said loudly again: "It's just that you surrendered to the official army, why did you still come to Pucheng, Weinan?" Continue to fight against me? Isn't that disgusting to people. ”

In a word, the originally depressed big tent was suddenly active, and the brothers laughed and scolded the non-authentic ones.

This time, Zhu Tie, who directly followed King Chuang from Huanglong, couldn't get up easily, straightened up, and said worriedly: "That old dog who doesn't touch the mud has joined the ranks of the Pucheng guards, which is really not good for us. Look at everyone's thoughtful looks, explained: "This is not muddy and we have united several times, for some of our means of conquering the city are familiar, in the last time the high thief Gao Yingxiang came to attack, it was he who made a quilt **, from this point of view, not mud was sent to Pucheng, it was for us, this has to be guarded against." ”

Lu Shi nodded, what is terrible is not the face-to-face enemy, but the former comrades-in-arms, because they know where your weakness is, they grasp your weakness and hit it with one blow, which is the most deadly.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the big tent became dull and depressed for a while, this is a fact, if you master the method of attacking and defending Pucheng, it will bring immeasurable difficulty to the battle of Pucheng, which conquers the gateway of Qinchuan for 800 miles.

"Especially." This time, the commander of the firearms battalion of the main force, Battalion Commander Zhang, also stood up worriedly and said: "Last time we defeated Gao Yingxiang, on the battlefield, we captured more than a dozen longbows, although the workmanship is rough, but it is also powerful, I think come, this is the credit of the guy who does not stick to the mud." ”

Zhao Xing nodded, this matter, Camp Commander Zhang had already reported to Zhao Xing at the first time, and Zhao Xing also attached great importance to it, but because Yichuan involved too much energy from King Chuang, Zhao Xing did not report it, especially when he learned that he was not muddy, but only equipped with more than fifty pieces, and the pitiful few arrows did not dig deeper.

However, if this time without mud and with the huge material support of the imperial court, the arrow cluster will no longer be worried, which is indeed a headache for himself.

"King Chuang, I'm sorry, I'm going to do this—"

Lu Shi smiled, interrupting Zhao Xing's self-blame with great ease, "I said, there are no secrets in this world, not to mention that what our countrymen are best at is plagiarism, and it is impossible to hide it, as long as our longbows are better than theirs and have more arrows than them, then it will be fine." ”

Lu Shi said this with confidence, because under the inspiration of Guangwu, Lu Shi no longer deliberately let the militia to train the bloody and cruel assassination, but turned to the longbow training that was more suitable for them, this time, when he conquered Weinan after the autumn harvest, Lu Shi transferred 10,000 militiamen, including 5,000 longbowmen, think about what kind of concept is that? It would be a salvo that would obscure the sun's brilliance, and with the huge steel support of the base steel plant, the Ming Dynasty would never be able to organize so many confrontational forces in one place.

Geng Kui, who was familiar with and personally participated in the battle of Mizhi, stood up, found a water bowl and took a sip, and said: "Actually, if we don't get mud to this Pucheng, maybe it's a good thing for us." ”

Wu Tao is not very familiar with the mud, when he knew that he surrendered, there was no burden and negative impact in his heart, but now when he heard Geng Kui say, he couldn't help but be interested, and stretched out his hand and said: "Brother, please speak." ”

Geng Kui smiled at the military advisor and said: "Don't stick to the mud, we have been defeated twice, this is a good thing, one person is afraid of another person, and he has been countless weaker in terms of momentum, and now, facing us again, thinking that he is not sticking to the mud has been frustrated, this is in terms of momentum, we have taken the top first, and we will be brave for the soldiers, since the generals who are attached to the Great Wall by the imperial court have fallen into the bold, do the soldiers still have the confidence to fight?" Therefore, I think that this time it is definitely a failure for the official army to transfer this traitor to defend Pucheng. ”

was analyzed by Geng Kui like this, everyone couldn't help but applaud together, and Lu Shi was also pleased to see that his brother was becoming more and more mature.

However, Lu Shi is still secretly worried in his heart, worried that he has changed the history of Shaanxi, whether he has also changed Hong Chengchou, if that is the case, then the people who will fight against him in the future will be his poor brothers, especially, there is a future eldest brother, at that time, how should he decide?
