After Yuan Hu retreated, Li Xiuwen turned around and asked again: "You should have hit Luoyang now, why did you have time to come?" ”

Zhang Yunying nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't get to Luoyang, do you want to stop by and have a look?" By the way, the master and the mother also asked me to ask you to come, and then go down to the south of the river 1 and let us finish running, where are we going next? ”

Li Xiuwen frowned when he heard this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yes, this White Lotus Sect is like a locust, it only took half a month to loot the four provinces in the south of He1, it will take another ten days and eight days, and this place will be rolled all over again, where should they go next?

Shaanxi?

The perennial war in Guanzhong has a lot of displaced people, and some people can be expanded, but what should be robbed has basically been robbed by the previous rebel army, and even looted several times, how can there be any oil and water to fish?

Huguang?

This place is also similar to Shaanxi, and the White Lotus Sect came from Huguang, and after a simple search, there should still be some oil and water, at least some large cities such as Xiangyang City, which have not been breached yet, and several vassal kings are still intact. But Zhang Xianzhong is rebelling there, didn't the White Lotus Sect grab land with him in the past?

Now the situation in the world is too chaotic, and the imperial court is now going to encircle and suppress itself, it is really not appropriate to make a strong enemy for itself, which will not have any benefit.

Zhang Yunying saw that he was thinking, so he didn't bother him, just sat there and quietly looked at his side face.

Li Xin was more and more shocked the more he listened, he had finished talking about business before, and he was already planning to leave, but Li Xiuwen did not avoid suspicion at all, and talked about other things in front of him, this kind of honesty and trust made him very moved. In addition, when he heard words like "sect leader", driven by curiosity, he sat aside and listened.

After hearing this later conversation, he was already sure in his heart that the relationship between the White Lotus Sect, which was looting all over the south of He1, and Li Xiuwen must be very close, and it seemed that Li Xiuwen was still in charge of the affairs of the White Lotus Sect.

Li Xiuwen's strength on the surface had already surprised Li Xin, but now that he knew that the other party was still hiding such a big force, he suddenly realized how wise his decision was.

This person is brave, resourceful, and thoughtful, and will be able to achieve great things in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Xin spoke: "General, my subordinates have an idea, maybe they can solve this dilemma. ”

"Oh? Sir's plan, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Li Xiuwen was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to be able to perceive the current predicament of the White Lotus Sect from his hesitation.

Li Xin is a lifter, his fame is above himself, and now he has come to take refuge in himself, which is equivalent to a strategist. In view of the other party's fame in history, Li Xiuwen called him "Mr.", which also seemed more respectful.

Sure enough, Li Xin was very useful to him, nodded secretly in his heart, and said, "From the general and this ...... Sect Leader Zhang just said, and he also understood some things below, and now the predicament of the White Lotus Sect is nothing more than whether it should be defended or attacked. ”

Seeing that Li Xiuwen nodded in agreement, he felt more confident in his heart, and continued: "The Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen political envoys, and the area south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for the development of the White Lotus Sect, so it is naturally not suitable to go over. In addition, there were frequent wars in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and the treasury of the official warehouse was not abundant, and it was not suitable for marching. ”

"Except for the Tusi jurisdictions such as Yun1 South, Gui 1 Prefecture, and Guang 1 West, as well as Huguang plundered by Zhang Xianzhong, we can completely march into Jiang 1 West and sweep all the way to the past. It's just that I look at the general's expression, it seems that I plan to let the White Lotus Sect garrison He1 South, why is this? ”

Li Xiuwen had to look at him with admiration, and he was almost surprised. His remarks are exactly the same as his own thoughts, and the head of the analysis is the Tao, which is much clearer than the general idea in his mind, he is simply an immortal genius!

"My husband, it's like a tiger with wings!"

Li Xiuwen sighed and said truthfully: "That's true." I have received the news that the imperial court has sent people to bring troops here, and they will arrive in a few days, tens of thousands of people, and with the strength of my Kaifeng Mansion alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, so I plan to leave 120,000 people of the White Lotus Sect for reinforcements. ”

"I see."

Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "The general plans to leave the 120,000 people of the White Lotus Sect behind, but he is worried that the loss of money and food is too great, and if he doesn't continue to loot, it may be difficult to support it for several months, right?" ”

"Not bad!"

Li Xiuwen bowed his head slightly, this was indeed his concern.

It's not that he can't afford to support these 120,000 people, don't say a few months, half a year should be fine. But if it does, is it worth it?

Li Xiuwen didn't know how many years he would have to fight against the imperial court before he could completely overthrow this regime.

Don't look at the large number of people in the White Lotus Sect, this drags the family with a mouth, but less than thirty percent of the people can fight, and they are not elite divisions, but they have to spend money to support 120,000 people, and they can't be counted at all.

If they can't solve the problem of money and food on their own, Li Xiuwen feels that it is not as cost-effective as spending money to raise 30,000 elites.

Don't look at the fact that they plundered the four provinces of He1 Nan, the cost of 120,000 people is really not small, if they are really stationed, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be their turn to give them a blood transfusion.

If they were to be stationed and divided into fields, it would not seem to work. It is only the beginning of spring, and if this grain is planted, it will not be harvested until autumn, and there will be no harvest at all in the short term.

Although there are many disadvantages, Li Xiuwen still hopes to let them stay. Although the combat power is not very good, and it is easy to be a deserter, if you suddenly appear on the battlefield as a reinforcement, the morale of the enemy is absolutely great, and you can increase your chances of victory.

In the final analysis, in the face of the tens of thousands of horses brought down by Hong Chengchou, Li Xiuwen still has no confidence that he can win. It's a blessing to be able to resist temporarily.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Hong Chengchou were all serious border troops. If we fight seriously, even if the military discipline will be a little worse, it will not be on the same level as the peasant army.

Li Xin smiled confidently and said: "The general doesn't have to worry, if you can trust me, you can let me go with Sect Leader Zhang, just according to the general's method in Kaifeng Mansion, I dare not say that I can be as stable as the general governing Kaifeng Mansion, but it will not cause chaos." In terms of soldier and horse drills, it is naturally not as good as the general's Shenji battalion, but it should not be a problem to train some elite soldiers and strong generals. ”

After a pause, he looked at Li Xiuwen seriously and said: "The general can send a few personal soldiers with me, and the general Yuan Hu also has to borrow from me, in addition, I also have a friend in Ruzhou in the same year, named Niu Jinxing." This person is quite talented, and he wants to recommend it to the general and serve under the account together, what does the general think? But ......"

Li Xiuwen said: "But once the White Lotus Sect is based on the city, it will definitely cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Seeing Li Xin nodding, Li Xiuwen couldn't wait to strangle him. Ya's this is simply because she sees that she has money, and she came to rip off bamboo for the White Lotus Sect.

However, Li Xin's words moved him. It's not that you can't afford to spend the money, it's a question of whether it's worth it. If the money is spent, and a rabble is raised, then it is better not to spend it.

Li Xiuwen has been paying attention to Li Xin's expression, and found that the other party is full of confidence, and his analysis of the current situation is very clear, which makes him feel in his heart that this money still has to be spent.

If the White Lotus Sect continues to plunder, although it can be self-reliant, even if the number of people skyrockets to 300,000, what can it do?

It's not a rabble yet!

But if it is really as Li Xin said, if you can train 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers to strengthen the future, then this money will not be a loss.

Li Xiuwen looked at Zhang Yunying and said seriously: "You have plundered the four provinces in the south of He1, you should have some money and grain in hand, and then you can pocket the remaining three mansions, which is enough to support two or three months." I mean, if I interfere in the affairs of the White Lotus Sect, and the money and food have to be in my hands, will your master and your mother be willing? ”

Zhang Yunying winked at him: "Who is the leader of the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Li Xiuwen rolled his eyes: "Of course it's you." ”

Zhang Yunying also learned from him and rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't that enough?" My red lady is now famous, can't she be the master? Just do as you say! ”

Li Xiuwen was speechless for a while, and emphasized again: "I'm not joking with you." ”

"I'm not kidding!"

"......" (To be continued.) )
