399. Skirmishes on the border of Luochuan
Xu Renjie jumped high and shouted: "Beat him." ”
A henchman came out next to him and said in a low voice: "Master, you can't fight indiscriminately, when we came over, Eighth Brother Zhu had an order, if there is a conflict with the rogue in the north, we should not make a move, it is better to let the local villagers make a move." ”
When Xu Renjie heard this, he calmed down, tilted his head and thought about it, it is indeed as Zhu Baba said, although the 100,000 people who mixed up the territory have been fished out, but as soon as he makes a move, the matter will intensify, and it will not be easy for the northern line to be restless from now on, which will hinder Zhu Bugling's development plan, and this kind of thing is really better to be handed over to the local townspeople to deal with.
He laughed evilly twice and said, "Go, see Li Panlong!" ”
After half a cup of tea, Li Panlong took a thousand villagers and rushed to the villages in the north. Just in case, Xu Renjie sent another thousand Zhu troops to follow from a distance.
Fortunately, Zhu Jun's reconnaissance work was very well done, and when they arrived at the northernmost village, the 100,000-strong grain team had not yet arrived, and the village had not yet been sacked. The arrival of Li Panlong's township warriors startled them, but fortunately they were all villagers, although they were scared, they were not scared and ran away, and they quickly explained clearly.
Li Panlong scattered the village warriors into the village and laid an ambush, while Xu Renjie's men hid in the woods a mile south of the village.
Xu Renjie and Li Panlong sat side by side on the ridge in the village, Li Panlong smashed his mouth and said: "Outside Xu Yuan, you can really make people." ”
"Who told you not to come down?" Xu Renjie said with a smile: "You nodded and followed us, in the future, this Luochuan will be your county, and only you will call others." No one else calls you. ”
Li Panlong flattened his mouth and said, "Do you think I can do an easy test in this show?" Ten years of cold window examination to show talent, if you follow you as a thief, the name of my ancestors for several generations will be ruined. Speaking of Xu Yuan, you are also a pure white family of several generations of ancestors, although the businessman is a lowly person, but he is rich, and it is not difficult to donate an official or something, why should you be a thief? ”
Xu Renjie laughed: "Didn't I say that? I like to fight, where does a businessman get the opportunity to fight? Or be a thief and come happily. ”
"But...... If you lose a battle, you will die. Li Panlong said in a low voice: "How can you be a thief? Sooner or later, he will be exterminated by the imperial court, and there will be no place to bury him. ”
Xu Renjie raised his eyes to the sky. Looking at the blue sky, where not even a cloud could be seen, he said seriously: "If I had been a thief with someone else, maybe I would have died a long time ago, but it was really my luck to be able to follow Zhu Bugs." I believe that the imperial court will not be able to win against us, and that I will surely enjoy the pleasure of fighting until I become a true generalissimo. ”
Li Panlong shrugged helplessly.
"So...... Li Maocai, you should take over the position of Luochuan County Commander as soon as possible. Xu Renjie grabbed his hat and said helplessly: "I don't want to be the county commander of this Laoshizi, I want to fight, fight." ”
At this time, on the loess road in the north of the village, a group of thieves appeared. There were not many of them, about two hundred, with cloth bags wrapped around their waists and swords and guns in their hands, and they marched proudly towards the small village. These thieves are the food brigade under the command of 100,000. Mixing 100,000 is not like Zhu Ba, who seriously engaged in agriculture and development after occupying the territory, but kept sending thieves everywhere to grab grain. The people who were robbed of their food had no choice but to join their gang, or they could only flee south and join Zhu Yuanzhang's command.
In short, a mixed 100,000 is a guy who can only destroy and doesn't know how to build.
In just one or two months, most of the places around Yan'an were robbed of a blank land by them, and they couldn't grab anything within the scope of Yan'an Mansion, so they began to go south intentionally or unintentionally, crossing the territory line drawn by Zhu Yuanzhang and Chao 100,000, wanting to cross the border to get a handful.
Xu Renjie looked at the figure of this group of people from a distance, and couldn't help but snort: "Li Maocai, have you seen it, if Zhu Bugge is that kind of thief, I won't join the gang......"
Li Panlong sighed: "Don't you like to fight? Let this battle be fought by you! From now on, you are Luochuan Li Panlong. ”
When Xu Renjie heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "That's what I mean." ”
After a while, 200 thieves came to the front of the village, and the people who were scattered outside the village and pretended to be farming were "frightened" and ran away, and all returned to the house. A small leader of the thief army laughed loudly and said, "Brothers, move quickly, grab all the things and leave, don't provoke Zhu Ba's people." ”
"Hey!"
"What if Zhu Ba's people came? We are thieves, they are also thieves, we rob a small village in their territory, although we don't take advantage of it in the rivers and lakes, but they make a big deal about it, and other rebels have to look down on them. ”
The thieves laughed as they rushed into the village.
I saw two foreigners standing in the middle of the village, one of whom was smiling and said with a very angry face: "Stop!" I am Luochuan Xiucai Li Panlong, and the thieves are not going to retreat quickly? ”
"Xiucai? Is there a hippie smiling talent like you? The thieves snorted: "Bluff, hum! Hack this thing to death. ”
The thieves came.
Xu Renjie put on a very forced pose, waved his hand in a somewhat wise manner, and was about to say: "Ambush soldiers come out ......"
But before he could speak, the villagers who were ambushed in the village couldn't help it, and roared "coaxing", pouring out from behind the house, inside the ditch, behind the stone mill, behind the big tree, and inside the house.
Li Panlong built a very neat spear for these villagers, and the villagers poured out from all directions, and the spears stabbed the middle together, and the more than 200 thieves were completely caught off guard, and dozens of them were put down in an instant.
It was only at this time that Xu Renjie's four words "ambush soldiers come out" did not have time to shout. He sweated and said: "Li Maocai, you townsmen have not been trained well, why did you rush out without receiving the order?" ”
Li Panlong had a bitter face: "I'm just a village warrior, and I'm not a regular officer and soldier, of course I don't listen to orders very much, do you still expect me to be able to make a mountain?" ”
"Holy shit, I'm commanding a fart?" Xu Renjie Khan.
"That's why I'm in command for you." Li Panlong laughed sinisterly.
Xu Renjie was speechless.
I saw that the villagers fought more and less, and the spears were so unpleasant. Although the training and morale of these village warriors were not good, but the training and morale of the two hundred thief soldiers were even worse, and the village warriors had a big advantage in numbers, and the weapons were relatively unified, and after a while, the two hundred thieves were half pierced and lay down, and the remaining hundred thieves were frightened and screamed, twisted into a rope and rushed north, trying to kill out of the village.
This is also due to the fact that it is the Xiang Yong who surrounds them, not the regular army, if the regular army surrounds these two hundred thieves, they will definitely not be able to kill them, but the Xiang Yong is far behind. The thieves began to fight hard, and the Xiangyong warriors were angry, and the Xiangyong spears surrounding the north were not very bright, and the red-eyed thieves rushed to the desperate side, and the Xiangyong dodged on both sides, although there were still dozens of thieves' corpses left, but in the end a dozen thieves broke out of the encirclement.
Xu Renjie was very annoyed, grabbed Li Panlong and said, "What kind of famous are you townsmen?" It's just a bunch of rubbish. ”
Li Panlong said: "I said that I am a village warrior, not a regular officer and soldier, don't ask too much of them." ”
Xu Renjie said: "Can't you train them well?" Make it like a real army. ”
Li Panlong flattened his mouth: "If I really make Xiangyong like that, you and Zhu Ba are not afraid that I will drive you out?" ”
Xu Renjie laughed: "If you think you are more powerful than Hong Chengchou, you might as well try." Li Maocai, let me tell you something serious, this is not a lie......"
He paused, and said seriously: "Our Zhu army adopts the doctrine of elite soldiers, there are not many troops, and now that the territory is expanding, it is inevitable that some places will not be taken care of, in case, I mean, Tongguan and Wuguan in the south are attacked by the 36th battalion or officers and soldiers, I may lead the troops to withdraw to the south to reinforce, and what if there are 100,000 people here in the north when the time comes?" ”
When he said this, Li Panlong was immediately startled.
Xu Renjie continued: "Aren't you a good citizen? Isn't it funny to count on me, a thief, to protect you? Why not try to protect yourself? Pack up your village warriors again, make them more able to fight, and in the future, when I am not here, you must also be able to protect yourself. ”
Li Panlong said: "Zhu Ba really has the bearing to allow us squires to organize the army?" He's not afraid? ”
"What's there to be afraid of?" Xu Renjie smiled: "Bugling Brother Zhu said, the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people of the world, and those who benefit from the world get the world, what our Zhu Jun does is what benefits the world, if Li Maocai feels that our Zhu Army is better than mixing 100,000, better than the 36th battalion, and even better than the imperial court, how can you go against us?" It's too late to help us. ”
"This ...... How could it be ......" Li Panlong was at a loss.
Xu Renjie saw his strange expression, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to have a bitter face, let me tell you, when the taro is harvested, you will know who the people's hearts will be towards, and even if you call your township warriors to beat me, they will not do it, believe it or not, we will see." ”
Li Panlong shook his head: "I really don't believe in this evil!" ”
"Let's make a bet, then." Xu Renjie smiled evilly: "If I am right, you will obediently be our Zhu Jun's Luochuan County Commander in the future." If I am wrong, I will let your whole family out of Shaanxi and let you out of our control. ”
Li Panlong will be suspicious: "A gentleman's word." ”
Xu Renjie snorted: "Whip the horse quickly!" ”
"Hey, you're a thief, does talking count?" Li Panlong shouted loudly.
"I'm dizzy, if I'm really a ruthless thief, I'll stab you to death right now." Xu Renjie Khan. (To be continued.) )
