Chapter 17 Three Crossing Canals
Seeing that everything that should be said was finished with everyone, Li Qingyuan coughed and said, "Very good!" Now everyone has learned a lot of things, I want to send two battalions as strikers, and enter Taishan activities first, which of you is willing? ”
Immediately, the battalion commanders scrambled to be the first, Li Qingyuan picked the two with the most flexible brains, called to the side, waved his hand and said: "The others go back and digest it carefully, think about it carefully, and this is the end of today's class." ”
After the others left, Meng Can was not good to stay, and also left with a reminiscence, Li Qingyuan looked at the two battalion commanders and asked, "How many people are there in your two battalions now?" ”
"Report to the general, I now have more than five hundred people." "I have more than 400 people." The two replied one after another.
Li Qingyuan nodded, so that with Meng Can's hundreds of people, it was enough for more than a thousand, Li Qingyuan asked: "This time, you set off first, maybe you can't contact the big army for at least a month, do you have the confidence to complete it?" ”
The two looked at each other and gritted their teeth and nodded, Li Qingyuan patted the shoulders of the two people with relief and said, "Very good!" Remember not to be confined to the vicinity of Mount Tai, if the court encircles you, run east, and wait until it is stable....... ”
Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "It's stable, just open a tea stall in Linqing, and the guise says Jiangnan tea, and when the time comes, I hear a person shouting, the tea is still good in my hometown, so you let the connector answer: The fart is still your own incense!" ”
Li Qingyuan's train of thought stunned the two, what kind of conversation is this, but he still wrote it down carefully, Li Qingyuan continued: "The connector will ask: 'Your tea is not from Jiangnan, right?'" Why is it not authentic? You say, 'How is that possible?' It's all called Jiangnan, and the tea is not Jiangnan tea! Then the code was right. ”
"......" neither of them had ever heard such a stalk, nor did they expect to answer the question like this, but such a joint code is afraid that ordinary people can't answer it, so it is just used to answer the code.
"You two remember that except for you two and the connector, don't let the fourth person know this code! I'll find a way to get in touch with you and help you when the time comes. After Li Qingyuan explained, he asked the two of them to bring someone to prepare first.
And he himself went to find Wu Sanniang with a smile, and when he saw Wu Sanniang, Li Qingyuan organized his language and said: "Sanniang, there is something I want to ask you to help with." ”
"Well, you can say it." Sanniang put down the knife she was wiping in her hand and said.
"That's the case, I want to divide the troops into two parts, one is the striker and enter the mountain in advance, so I want Brother Meng Can to go first with the striker, I'm afraid that if I tell him, he may not agree, or you go and talk to him?" Li Qingyuan said with a smile and kindness.
.“ What's in it? I'll go and tell Brother Meng Can, you wait. Wu Sanniang felt that this was nothing, it was a trivial matter for her.
After the two battalions arranged by Li Qingyuan were ready, Meng Can came out with his people unhappy, and saw that Li Qingyuan had also sent more than 1,000 people, thinking that Li Qingyuan might not want to break him up, and his mood was much better.
The sky gradually darkened, Li Qingyuan made up supplies for them, and let him set off first, looking at the people who disappeared into the darkness, Li Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction.
At about eleven o'clock, the forward troops walked for more than three hours before Li Qingyuan shouted, "Okay, let's set off, and the troops followed Li Qingyuan to the west."
After walking for a short time, Wu Sanniang found Li Qingyuan and asked, "Where are we going?" Isn't it southeast to go to Mount Tai? ”
"We're not going to Tarzan!" Li Qingyuan looked at the night and said.
"......" Wu Sanniang looked at the direction where the striker disappeared, then looked at Li Qingyuan and asked, "Why?" ”
"Because the Qing army knew that we went first and went to Mount Tai, and when we arrived at Mount Tai, the Qing demon estimated that the army would surround us, so if we wanted to jump out of the encirclement, we couldn't go to Mount Tai." Li Qingyuan explained.
"Then you let Meng Can and them ......." Wu Sanniang felt that Li Qingyuan in her mind should not be such a person.
Li Qingyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, they won't stay in Mount Tai for too long, just show their heads, and then go east into the mountains, and the Qing army will not be able to find anyone for a while." ”
Li Qingyuan didn't know why he didn't call the Qing army a Qing demon, although he came a little inexplicably, but he still didn't want to use the name of ghosts and gods to establish a religious state.
Wu Sanniang felt a little better when she heard Li Qingyuan say this, but she was still a little puzzled by Li Qingyuan's deception of Meng Can: "Then you, Meng Can ......." ”
"Who made him courteous to you! It's annoying to watch, don't worry! As long as he doesn't die, he can live well, and I've taught him a lot this afternoon! "Li Qingyuan is also a temperamental person, let you be courteous this time to see how you give!
Wu Sanniang blushed when she heard Li Qingyuan say this, and looked at Li Qingyuan jealous, her heart was also sweet, and being jealous at least proved that Li Qingyuan had her in her heart.
In fact, for ancient women, when a man saw her body, Wu Sanniang had long regarded herself as Li Qingyuan's person, but she had always been embarrassed to speak.
Now because of Li Qingyuan's jealous words, she quickly put Meng Can or everything in the back of her mind, and with a blank look, Li Qingyuan went to command logistics.
If Meng Can knew that his life was not as good as Li Qingyuan's words could affect Wu Sanniang's mood, it is estimated that he would have figured out a lot of truths, but unfortunately he didn't know at this time.
In order to prevent the bandits from escaping into the mountainous areas, the Qing army set up a lot of checkpoints at the entrances of Mount Tai and other mountainous areas.
In this way, with Fan Wei and Meng Can, two people to attract the attention of the Qing army, I believe that as long as Li Qingyuan is careful, he can get at least a few months of peace, which are very precious for Li Qingyuan.
In his hands he was led by a large group of peasants who had just laid down their hoes, not to mention qualified warriors, some of whom did not even know what a warrior was.
Therefore, Li Qingyuan felt that it was necessary for him to use a few months to train these peasants to become soldiers, at least to be able to walk right, to be able to discharge guns, and to know what discipline was.
In that way, in the next battle, it will not be like now, you can only run away and engage in sneak attacks, you have a lot of black technology in your hands, there is no reason not to calm down and make good use of it.
So the troops went west, and no one except Li Qingyuan knew where they were going, and when they got to the canal, they found boats to cross the canal again, and then put all these boats on stones, and scuttled them in the canal, destroying all the evidence of the crime.
Crossing the canal for the third time, Li Qingyuan sighed a little emotionally, will this place become the same as Taizu in the future, and become a famous example of the founding of the country? Under the leadership of Li Qingyuan, the righteous army crossed Chishui three times, successfully jumped out of the encirclement of the Qing army, and saved the righteous army and the Han army? It's a little exciting to think about.
