"Fart!" Li Zicheng shouted, "Is there a provision in military law, that soldiers can not abide by military discipline and flee from the wind when they are hungry, fatigued, and resentful? In any case, we have to wait until the battle is over, how can we cause the whole army to suffer because of our own reasons? ”

"You...... But if you are a thief, how can you know the military law? A certain does not conspire with you. Feng Keng simply turned his face towards the wall, making it clear that he didn't want to deal with Li Zicheng.

"I am indeed a thief, but I fought with hundreds of soldiers in Kexining City, and captured all the officers of Weili, how do I know that I do not know military discipline?" Li Zicheng shouted, "Someone, this person's brain is broken, and he will be locked up and starved for three days." ”

"Yes, sir." He Xiaomi took two personal soldiers and dragged Feng Keng down.

"Zicheng, this Feng Keng, although his brain is a little weak, he is still loyal!" Liang Wencheng said inadvertently.

"I know, so I didn't cut off his head, I just starved for three days," Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, "As for the result, it depends on his creation, I don't like elm heads!" ”

Liang Wencheng's eyes rolled, and then he understood Li Zicheng's intentions, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zicheng, I've been busy all night, do you want to eat some breakfast?" ”

Li Zicheng knew that he had something to say, so he said to Ma Youshui, the commander of the pro-soldiers: "Send us over early, Lord Liang, let's talk while eating." He said to Li again: "Shuangxi go down first, arrange for the soldiers to rest for two hours as soon as possible, and there are important tasks in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, sir." Ma Youshui and Li Guo came out of the official office, and only Li Zicheng and Liang Wencheng were left in the entire official office, which seemed empty.

Li Zicheng chuckled and said, "Lord Liang doesn't have anything to ask his subordinates?" ”

"Zicheng, in front of me, don't claim to be a subordinate, my mind, Zicheng should have already known," Liang Wencheng shook his head and smiled, "To be honest, I originally had thousands of questions to ask, but now I know that whether to ask or not to ask, in fact, it is the same, Zicheng thinks about the problem, more far-reaching than me, more comprehensive than me, and more detailed than me!" ”

Li Zicheng laughed: "Lord Liang believes in his gaze like this? ”

"Naturally, there is a problem, not to distrust Zicheng, but to understand Zicheng's next move, otherwise, how can a stupid person like me keep up with Zicheng's pace? Hahaha......"

"Lord Liang, if you have something to say, just ask, if you don't make it clear, it seems that Lord Liang is afraid that he will even eat tastelessly early." Li Zicheng was thinking, which question should Liang Wencheng start with?

"Xining City has returned to calm, is Zicheng ready to take over all the passes of Xining Wei in time?"

didn't ask himself why he attacked Xining, he didn't care what kind of road he was going to take, but kindly reminded himself that Xining was not yet fully controlled, this Liang Wencheng, as he himself said, had already tied himself to his chariot? Li Zicheng also hid it from Liang Wencheng.

"This is not in a hurry, they are all stragglers, there is nothing to be afraid of, the soldiers are tired for a day and a night, it's time to let them rest, and then go to various passes in the afternoon to take over, Zhao Feng has surrendered, let him write a customs clearance paperwork, and take it over directly."

"Well," Liang Wencheng showed a look of joy on his face, "I have a far-sighted plan, but after taking control of Xining Wei, what are the next steps?" ”

Li Zicheng asked rhetorically: "From the perspective of Lord Liang, what should we do next?" ”

"Defend the passes on all sides, strengthen the training of soldiers, and guard against the attack of Ganzhou or the imperial army," Liang Wencheng frowned suddenly, "There are only a few hundred soldiers under your lordship, and even if you add the surrender of Xining, it is only a thousand, how to block the imperial army, I really can't think about it," and sighed softly: "If it is a recruitment, I am afraid that there will be insufficient food and grass......

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Lord Liang is right, Xining is the land of four wars, the north, east, and south are the guards of the Ming Dynasty, and the west is often harassed by the Mongols. ”

For military deployment, Li Zicheng admires Mao Taizu more, he claims to be the second, no one in history can be called the first, even when he is at a disadvantage, he must concentrate local superior forces, and each defeat the enemy, but now Xining, surrounded by potential enemies, seems to be full of enemies, but who the real enemy is, but it is unclear, and how to concentrate superior forces? However, for Xining, Li Zicheng has already calculated.

"Does self-made mean to give up Xining?" Liang Wencheng is also speechless, willing to give, willing to give.

"Give up?" Li Zicheng wanted to speak and stopped, but asked, "Lord Liang has already thought about it?" ”

"Zicheng should understand my intentions," Liang Wencheng was a little dissatisfied, since the last time he went to Fuqiang Fort to supervise the army, he tied himself to Li Zicheng's chariot, whether it was soaring or rebelling, there would be his share, "No matter where Zicheng goes in the future, I, Liang Wencheng, will always be your subordinate!" ”

"Lord Liang is serious!" Li Zicheng bowed his hand, and let him, the commander of Xiningwei, suddenly descend to his subordinates, he was still a little unaccustomed to it, although Liang Wencheng's identity was changed quite smoothly, but rebellion was a big crime of the Nine Clans, and his attitude was ambiguous, "Since Lord Liang is determined to be with me, I should talk about my plans." ”

Liang Wencheng couldn't wait, he thought about it for half a night, but he couldn't solve the problem of Xining's future, "Zicheng let's talk about how to break the crisis in Xining." ”

Li Zicheng smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Long before the army, I have already made a decision, once Xining is taken, let him maintain the status quo." ”

"Status quo?" Liang Wencheng was puzzled, his brows furrowed into a bow, "Do you continue to let Wu Shaoling, Zhao Feng and others control Xining?" ”

"The two of them are only half right," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Wu Shaoling and Zhao Feng are still the eunuchs and guards in command, but that is for the imperial court, on the surface, it is naturally us who really controls Xining." ”

"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes?" Liang Wencheng understood all of a sudden, and couldn't help but feel emotional, this Li Zicheng, as he knew, had planned before the army, such a dangerous Xining, it was resolved with one move, fortunately he was not his enemy, but it was easy to say, but it was difficult to do, he was still a little worried, "Zicheng, not to mention the soldiers, even the people in the city, will also spread the news of Xining City's change of ownership, besides, the kingdom is dead, Ganzhou may not be good." ”

"So I have to solve the problem at night, after dawn, the four gates will be open as usual, the people will not have obvious discomfort, and there will be fewer discussions and questions," Li Zicheng paused, and said: "As for the affairs of the kingdom, he was attacked by the Mongols when he inspected the front line, and his life and death are unknown, so he prevaricated to Ganzhou, Ganzhou and Xining are hundreds of miles apart, back and forth for verification, several times of ridicule, I don't know that it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, there is just the head of the Mongols here, and I sent a few of them indiscriminately, and dealt with Ganzhou first, so as not to make them suspicious." ”

"However, Ganzhou and the imperial court will find out sooner or later."

"When Ganzhou and the imperial court find out, we have already gained a firm foothold in Xining, and in the next time, we must pay close attention to the expansion of the army and training, as long as the imperial court's food and salary are timely, the number of soldiers will increase in an orderly manner."

"Food? Self-contained, the imperial court will still allocate food and salary? Liang Wencheng grasped the subtext in Li Zicheng's words.

"Yes, Wu Shaoling and Zhao Feng are still there, good and decent, the imperial court will naturally continue to allocate food and salaries, is the imperial court willing to give up Xining?" Li Zicheng smiled proudly, like a fox that had been hungry for a long time, and suddenly grabbed the chicken that was delivered to the door.

"Zicheng, there is really you," Liang Wencheng suddenly got up from his seat, turned over and bowed in front of the battlefield, "Zicheng, Xie Guang has been ambushed, the six hundred households are now lacking a hundred household officials, and their subordinates ask to take up this position." ”

"Get up quickly," Li Zicheng hurriedly left his seat, helped Liang Wencheng up, and pressed him on the chair, "Lord Liang has something to say, it is not enough to be polite." ”

Liang Wencheng sat down again, but his eyes were full of expectation, "Zicheng, how about it?" ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the official office, it should be Ma Youshui who came early, Li Zicheng pointed to the door of the official office, "The six hundred household officials, there are others," and then smiled: "The current Xining Military Town is based on hundreds of households, and hundreds of household officials need to charge on the battlefield, Lord Liang has been in the army for many years and has rich military experience, how can these hairy boys be compared?" ”

Ma Youshui carried a large plate with large pieces of salted mutton, "My lord, come early!" He was followed by two pro-soldiers, both carrying food.

Li Zicheng looked down, in addition to the plate of salted mutton with Ma Youshui, there were eight steamed buns, four meat buns, four boiled eggs, two side dishes, and two large bowls of spicy soup.

The two pro-soldiers came out of the official office, only Ma Youshui stood by his side, Li Zicheng raised his hand to Liang Wencheng, "Lord Liang, please!" ”

"Self-contained, please!" Liang Wencheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw Li Zicheng reject his request, and suddenly found that Li Zicheng didn't care at all, and his heart moved, "Does Zicheng have other arrangements for me?" A piece of steamed bread torn off was about to be thrown into his mouth, his fingers froze in the air, and he opened his mouth slightly, frozen into a greedy picture.

"Yes, Lord Liang, I do have other arrangements," Li Zicheng laughed, "Lord Liang continues to serve as the commander of the guard. ”

"Commanding the officer?" Only then did Liang Wencheng remember what Li Zicheng said about Wu Shaoling and Zhao Feng continuing to hold their original positions, and thought that Li Zicheng had asked him to cut a nail into the officers in Weili.

"The training time of the Xining army is too small, and it is necessary to strengthen training, and it is imperative to expand the army, and in the future, the army will be scattered everywhere, and it is up to Lord Liang to supervise the discipline and training of the army, and Lord Liang should not complain about running around in the future."

"No, no, I'll work hard, if I am idle, I will be idle," Liang Wencheng was originally the chief officer's military discipline and military training, this time it is the original post, and he is not a stranger, "Zicheng, then when will I take office?" ”

"Lord Liang, don't worry, wait until the soldiers are deployed in place," Li Zicheng saw his anxious appearance, smiled and shook his head, "In addition, the original military discipline "Seventeen Prohibitions and Fifty-four Beheadings", although it covers a comprehensive level, but there are many contents, Lord Liang, can you simplify these military laws, so that the soldiers can understand and remember, in a word, let the soldiers know what they need to do and what they can't do." ”

Liang Wencheng frowned, this would stump him, if he went to the battlefield and took the lead, he would not frown, but he was not good at these word games, "You see, if you design it, I will let the soldiers implement it?" ”

"Haha, Lord Liang," Li Zicheng pointed at his nose and laughed, "and persuaded Cong to order, I just sent you an errand, and you pushed it on my head?" ”

Liang Wencheng also smiled, "I just have such a little ability, where can I compare to becoming your own brain?" ”

"Okay, it's called 'soldiers take obedience as their duty', and the officers will fight wherever they point, no, not only soldiers, but also officers must obey orders, and subordinates obey their superiors, so let's change it to 'soldiers take obedience as their duty', what do you think?"

"A soldier is obedience?" Liang Wencheng muttered softly, "Okay, simple, easy to understand, and easy to remember, soldiers don't need to know the specific deployment of the battle, just obey the officer's command, okay, that's it!" ”

"In addition, our previous battle slogan was 'kill the robbers', that is to deal with the Mongols, Mongolian robbers, in the future, our opponents, I am afraid that more Han Chinese, we must establish a new slogan, after Lord Liang goes back, carefully consider it, and see what to choose."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will resolutely obey my lord's arrangement." Liang Wencheng said it, and he laughed.

"Lord Liang, don't think that it is difficult to establish military merits, if you do these trivial things well, it is military merits, in addition, Lord Liang patrols everywhere, and is familiar with all the hundred households, even the soldiers, once you want to carry out a big battle, you also need Lord Liang's unified coordination and command."

"My subordinates understand!" At this time, Liang Wencheng tasted the taste of breakfast.
