Li Yan ignored the invasion of the Qing troops and continued to patrol the counties. If the Qing soldiers were crazy and dared to cross the Yellow River, he would naturally resist with all his might. However, judging from past experience, when Shanhaiguan was not breached, the Qing soldiers did not dare to go too south, and his territory would not be threatened. The only thing to do is to prepare to resettle the refugees who have fled.

The killing in eleven years probably scared the people of Zhili and Shandong, and it was a good choice to flee south. As for those wealthy gentry, they will hide in the state capital, the capital city, and the provincial capital, and they should not come to Henan. However, there will not be too many refugees, after all, the Qing soldiers are all cavalry, and the speed is much faster, and the people may not be able to escape.

After he returned to Guide Mansion City, Li Mu immediately reported: "Fourth brother, come to the Holy Decree, let us take the troops to Beijing to help." ”

"Well, what about people," Li Yan asked without seeing the person who came to deliver the message.

Li Mu said casually: "Send it away." I chased it from Kaifeng, it was very annoying, I asked me to find you every day, gave me five hundred taels of silver, and asked him to leave the holy decree and leave. ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Got it." How's the training going?"

Li Mu replied: "Those guys, in the end, surrendered, and the old problem has not been changed." I have been in the city for a long time, and when I first came together, it took me two quarters of an hour to even form an army formation. I complained during training, but I dealt with a dozen or so, and now it's much better. ”

"How to deal with it"

Li Mu sneered: "I sent it to the prisoner camp to repair the road, and I took half of his family's land. Make it clear to them that if you behave well in the prisoner camp, you can be released in a year and a half. If you join the army again, you should be treated as before. If the performance is not good, the other half of the land will also be collected. ”

Li Yan frowned, nodded slowly, and said, "It seems that the troops from other counties are also going to gather together and practice well." The key time is to ask them.

Li Yan said solemnly: "Crazy or not, that's the business of the Qing soldiers, your task is to guard the river defense."

"Obey" Li Mu didn't dare to say more, so he had to clench his fists and take the order.

Li Yan's judgment was not wrong at all, Li Zicheng and the others in Runing really didn't want to leave.

Runing, Chongwangfu.

Liu Zongmin said with a smile: "This Dongyu is really a good person, every time we are in trouble, they come in." ”

"That's right," Liu Fangliang was also in a good mood, and said excitedly: "This time Li Yan will definitely be called to guard Beijing, just like Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting back then." Back then, if it weren't for the Qing soldiers, we would all go underground to find King Gao Chuang. ”

"It's providential, hahaha." He Jin laughed and agreed.

Li Zicheng glanced at Luo Rucai, who was drinking with a woman, and asked, "Cao Cao, what do you mean?"

Luo Rucai said casually: "I don't care what you say about yours." My troops are going to Huguang anyway, you continue, I will continue. ”

Gao Yigong reminded: "There is not enough food." This retreat brought a lot of people with it. If they're hungry, it's dangerous. ”

Liu Zongmin put down the leg of mutton in his hand and said vaguely: "As soon as Li Yan leaves, let's go to Guide." There's a lot of food there, and I'm afraid I won't eat it."

Li Guo didn't agree with Li Zicheng's idea this time, and reminded: "I don't know if Li Yan will go to King Qin, let's take a look." I heard that Huang Hu also wants to enter Huguang, so let's hurry up. In case he preempted him and Li Yan didn't go to King Qin, we wouldn't have a good time. ”

"He is so capable of fighting, who does not need him to use King Qin, can he use those remnants of the defeated general, Chongzhen Xiao'er should not be so stupid" Liu Zongmin used a series of rhetorical questions to completely refute Li Guo's idea.

Li Zicheng looked at He Yilong again. And He Yilong arched his hand and said: "He thinks what Leader Li said makes sense, let's see if it's decided." ”

"Lao Huihui, what about your opinion" Li Zicheng asked Ma Shouying politely.

Ma Shouying said lightly: "Let's see, it won't take a deal." If Li Yan was a rule-follower, he would not be able to train this strong army. Wait and see. ”

", why haven't you been talking" Li Zicheng came again to let Tian Jianxiu express his opinion.

Tian Jianxiu had no choice but to say: "Li Yan has cooperated with us, then he won't go to King Qin." Although there is no rebellion yet, it is no different from rebellion. He put the iron bucket controlled by Guide and Qixian County, and the government was simply furnishing. He fought with us, not to serve the imperial court, but for the sake of territory, otherwise he would not let us go south to Huguang. ”

Liu Zongmin's face was a little unbearable, and he defended: "That guy is a villain, and he wants to bargain for benefits on both sides." If Chongzhen gives more, he will make a dog for the Zhu family."

"He is already a prince of the palace, and he can still count on a king with a different surname," Tian Jianxiu asked rhetorically.

Liu Zongmin said loudly: "They are already a family, will they not save his eldest brother"

Li Zicheng frowned, and said loudly: "Don't quarrel and look at it, but go back and restrain your subordinates, say that you will fight, and if you say you will withdraw, you will withdraw." If you don't do well, don't blame me for being rude."
