Li Xiuwen felt a little wronged, the White Lotus Sect had looted in the Huguang area during this time, and the number was already nearly 100,000, and the imperial court actually let it go, and came directly at him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that Zhu Youzhen regards himself as a big trouble!

From Shaanxi to Kaifeng, it will not take a few days to travel, and it is time to actively prepare for the war. In the face of a big enemy like Sun Chuanting, Li Xiuwen did not dare to slack off.

Sun Chuanting's Qin army, when it was recruited in the early stage, was about 11,000 people, and the elite should have a few thousand people, and it was really remarkable when fighting the peasant army, but it seems that it had never fought with the Qing army.

It's just that this time Sun Chuanting brought over the people, not only the Qin army in the headquarters, but also the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the chief soldier He Renlong.

In this way, the total strength of the other party is 14,000 people, and his own Shenji battalion is only 10,000 people, which is 4,000 less than Sun Chuanting.

But this is nothing, according to Li Xiuwen's guess, most of He Renlong's people should not have any combat power, and the only ones who can fight are the more than 100 family members under him.

No matter how strong these families are, they can fight ten at most, right?

Count his family as a thousand.

Li Xiuwen roughly estimated that his Shenji Battalion had been trained for a long time, and it could be regarded as an elite. Although the number of times he went to the battlefield was not much, in terms of combat power, he might not be much weaker than the Qin army.

Even if it's a little inferior, 10,000 elites fight thousands of elites, and if you can't win, don't talk about any rebellion, that will only make people laugh. As long as the rain and snow weather are avoided, the advantage of the Shenji Battalion is still very great.

For Sun Chuanting, Li Xiuwen actually wanted to take it for his own use, and he didn't want to start a war with him easily. But it is very difficult for such a person to persuade him to surrender to himself.

In the eyes of civil officials, he is just a chaotic minister and thief, how can he compare with the Ming court? If Zhu Youzhen is happy, he can seal him casually, can he do it?

Li Xiuwen is very self-aware, as long as he doesn't break through the capital for a day, there is no official position to reward others. But if you want to attack the capital, it's obviously not time yet.

Sun Chuanting's Qin army is still there, Hong Chengchou's Hong army is still there, there is still a white pole soldier of Qin Liangyu in Shu, and there is still Guan Ning's army at the border.

These are the last elites of the Ming Dynasty. If he dared to rashly go north and attack the Beijing Division, Zhu Youzhen would inevitably throw the Qing army aside and order these generals to return to the Beijing Division and make every effort to exterminate him.

However, Sun Chuanting came at him, and the White Lotus Sect could not fight with the imperial army's army for the time being, and it could also avoid some losses.

Don't look at the White Lotus Sect now has nearly 100,000 people, but this is a rebellion with a family. In fact, there are only about 20,000 people who can fight. But how could the more than 20,000 peasant army beat the army of the Ming Dynasty without training?

At this time, the White Lotus Sect was making trouble in the Huguang area, and wherever they passed, the vassal kings and gentry basically let them loot it.

Li Xiuwen thought about it, there seem to be a lot of vassal kings in Henan, I heard that King Fu and King Lu have the most farmland in their names, and the court alone has given them millions of hectares, that is, millions of acres of land, what if they encroach on some people's land?

That number was too huge for Li Xiuwen to imagine. Immediately decided, instructed the White Lotus Sect to enter Henan, except for his own Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion, grab it casually!

Although the Zhou Wangfu is also a royal family, and these vassal kings are also related, to put it bluntly, there is no family affection at all. Moreover, Li Xiuwen and the White Lotus Sect were secretly in contact, and few people knew about this matter.

With so much land, can a vassal king not be rich?

Don't rob white, don't rob!

Li Xiuwen saved Sun Chuanting once, and judging from the contact, he felt that Sun Chuanting was much easier to recruit than people like Lu Xiangsheng, so he could try it when the time came.

It's not a big hope, but maybe it can happen?

With such an illusion, Li Xiuwen made a transfer of his men and horses, intending to meet Sun Chuanting in Yanjin County.

From Shaanxi to Kaifeng, the nearest march route is to pass through Weihui Mansion, and then cross the two counties, and then you can directly cross the river from the north bank of the Yellow River to Kaifeng.

Xuanwuwei doesn't have much combat strength now, Li Xiuwen made a transfer and transferred Xuanwuwei to the city, if there is an accident in the battle of the Shenji Battalion on the front line, Xuanwuwei is still no problem guarding the city.

Li Xiuwen regrets it a little now, why didn't he bring out the Hongyi cannon of the Shenji Battalion at that time? The kind of big cannon is the most suitable for defending the city.

The Francophone cannon was brought out, but the range was not as far as the Hongyi cannon, and the power was not great enough.

With thousands of villagers joining, there is no need to worry that Xuanwuwei will get out of his control. Li Xiuwen also added the post of deputy commander, and selected one person from among the township warriors to take up this post.

As for the commanders and other high-ranking officials in Kaifeng City, they were of no use at all, and most of them were still unwilling to serve themselves, so Li Xiuwen directly withdrew this yamen, but did not kill this cadre, but drove them out of the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The gentry were killed, and the warriors were driven away.

This is Li Xiuwen's deliberate display of his preferential treatment of martial artists in order to win people's hearts. When the matter spreads, are you afraid that there will be no generals willing to die for yourself?

When the time comes, you can sit and pick slowly.

Just when Li Xiuwen was waiting for Sun Chuanting to call, a guest came to the general's mansion, and this guest was a man from Qi County, named Li Xin.

Li Xiuwen himself was born as a literati, and the killing of scholars was not out of disgust, but just an administrative measure. Now that so many people have been killed, there is no need to stare at a single person.

In fact, Li Xin has already come to visit several times, but Li Xiuwen will be in other states and counties, busy killing people.

Li Xiuwen was secretly curious in his heart, this person was quite calm. So many people are denouncing him, and he, as a lifter, didn't even participate.

This time, Li Xiuwen has a good impression of this person.

I never thought that when people saw him open their mouths, they scolded: "Li Xiuwen, it's just that you rebel, and kill all the scholars in Kaifeng Mansion, what is your intention?" ”

"You're here to scold General Ben?"

Li Xiuwen asked in a calm tone. If this man's purpose is like this, he doesn't have time to deal with him.

"I—"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that you are also a literati, and you are still the head of the court examination case in Kaifeng Mansion, so I came to talk to you." What kind of grudge do you have against the scholar and you, that you want to kill so many people in vain? ”

"Killing?"

Li Xiuwen sneered and replied: "They keep saying that they want to crusade against General Ben, and they also gather people to make trouble, can this also be called vain killing?" As the saying goes, 'Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban', literati talk about state affairs in vain, why can't I kill them? ”

Li Xin was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that this person not only killed people ruthlessly, but also had the ability to speak skillfully and eloquently not inferior to himself, so he turned to ask: "Their relatives are all innocent, why do you want to be involved?" ”

"Prevention is better than prevention."

Li Xiuwen glanced at him and said leisurely: "If I don't attack the relatives of these people first, will I have to wait for them to gather and seek revenge on me?" ”

Li Xin was angry for a while, pointed at him and scolded angrily: "In vain, you are still a person who reads poetry and books, but you are also like that reckless man in the mountains and wilderness, killing in vain, how is it different from beasts?" ”

Li Xiuwen was happy, and asked rhetorically: "How is the rule of Zhenguan?" ”

When Li Xin heard this, he blurted out: "Naturally, it is a prosperous era of Kaiping. ”

"Compared to today's Ming Dynasty?"

"The difference between clouds and mud!"

"Can Li Shimin slaughter the city? Have you heard of the changes in Xuanwumen? ”

After Li Xiuwen asked this, he noticed that the other party's momentum was obviously much weaker, so he smiled and said, "Compared to the people killed by Li Shimin, what am I worth?" Could it be that Li Shimin is so unbearable in your eyes? ”

Li Xin was speechless, and his face turned red.

Li Xiuwen saw that he couldn't answer, so he waved his hand and said, "General Ben is busy with official business, and I don't want to embarrass you, if you don't have anything else, leave quickly." ”

Li Xin had no choice but to arch his hand and leave.

Before he came, he thought that Li Xiuwen only knew how to kill people with a knife, but after he really saw it, he realized that he was wrong. The other party's words are sharp, his tongue is as sharp as a knife, and he can't even reason with him, this time it's really embarrassing.

Not? Li Xiuwen?

Li Xin suddenly remembered that two years ago, it seemed that it was Li Xiuwen who pacified the rebellion of the prince, and his words instigated the 800 palace guards to rebel.

In fact, this was spread at the time, and many people knew about it. It's just that after two years, some people don't remember it very well.

Li Xin is in Qixian County, and he rarely comes to Fucheng, and he was promoted at a young age, so he is naturally a little arrogant. At that time, he didn't take it to heart when he heard such a thing, he just thought that the three of them became tigers, and there were more elements of touting.

Now that I think about it, this head of the hospital examination is really worthy of his reputation. (To be continued.) )
