Chapter 292: The Enemy Strikes
The news about the Red Lady finally reached Nie Xin and Zhang Ding, but a long time has passed.
During that period of time, Nie Xin and Zhang Ding couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep at night. They firmly believe that Li Guo will not die. The circle with the character Li written on it found near Mengjin was their hope for Li Guo, and it was also the motivation for them to find Li Guo.
Despite repeated hopes and disappointments, they did not give up their efforts at all.
However, not only did there be no news of Li Guo, but they didn't even find out the news of the Red Lady. Judging from the information he got, Li Guo must be at the Red Lady. It's just a pity that they crossed the route with the Red Lady Deyi class, but they missed it again.
Later, Nie Xin and Zhang Ding thought that Li Guo might have taken a boat and followed the Yellow River to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. So, Nie Xin and Zhang Ding led people to the junction of the Yellow River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but they were still disappointed. They didn't know that Li Guo at that time couldn't help himself.
Guangxi Huang Xiu and Liu Tichun were worried about Li Guo, and sent people to send letters from time to time to inquire about Li Guo's whereabouts, and even the person who sent the letter said that Huang Xiu and Liu Tichun had formed a team of elite soldiers and strong generals, ready to go north, and cooperate with Nie Xin and Zhang Ding to find Li Guo.
Li Guo's wife Huang Xiu did not complain and blame the people who followed Li Guo in the letter, but comforted Nie Xin, Zhang Ding and others, saying that our tiger master is willful, let everyone worry and so on. And persuade everyone that there is no need to be anxious, the tiger master Ji people have their own heavenly appearance.
At this time, Nie Xin and Zhang Ding were full of pressure in their hearts, and they were even more restless, and they made up their minds. Be sure to find Li Guo. They returned along the canal towards the upper reaches of the Yellow River and continued to look for Li Guo.
Finally one day. The news of the Red Lady's rebellion reached their ears, and Nie Xin and Zhang Ding couldn't help but be ecstatic.
When they reported this matter to Li Guoru's wife, Liu Rushi. Yoo and Tarina beside her cried.
"You can't completely pin your hopes on the red lady, maybe our master may not be there. Either way, you should take care of your health. Looking at Nie Xin and Zhang Ding's haggard expressions, Liu Ru couldn't bear it.
Zhang Ding said with tears in his eyes, "Madam, don't worry, it will be, it will be!" We're going to look for it. ”
Nie Xin didn't speak, just shed tears, silently praying in his heart, God. Don't let us down this time.
Nie Xin and Zhang Ding took people and escorted Liu Rushi and Talina to the direction of Qixian
At this time, under the guidance of Li Guo, the red lady was gaining momentum, and her strength was getting stronger and stronger, and Naqi County was also broken by them.
On that day, Zhang Zhutou and his gang of brutes were killed near Jigong Mountain, and Li Guo ordered the people in the village to go up the mountain. They built forts on the hill and prepared enough food. Prepare for a battle to the death against the officers and soldiers who are about to take revenge! But to be honest, Li Guo and the Red Lady only regard this place as a temporary residence, and do not plan to live for a long time.
The Jigong Mountain bloody case spread all over the nearby villages, and the matter of the red lady doing the right thing for heaven made the people's blood boil. The people were not going to take the next meal. I don't know who said it, the heroes of Jigong Mountain are chivalrous and righteous, as long as they go to Jigong Mountain, they will have food. And the people came to help the old and the young.
This situation gave Li Guo and the red lady a headache. They didn't plan to stay here forever, let alone recruit troops. But more and more people came. If all the people who come are young and strong, that's fine. But there are men, women and children, and they can't be driven away, Li Guo and the red lady are worried.
Li Guo is very clear that if you want to achieve hegemony and save the people, you can't do it in the small land of Jigong Mountain, and you have to return to Guangxi, which has been explained to the Red Lady, and the Red Lady also wholeheartedly supports it. But the situation in front of him made Li Guo unable to get out.
Li Guo looked at the red lady, and the red lady looked at Li Guo and couldn't stop smiling bitterly.
"Childe, it's better to settle them down before you can leave with confidence!" The red lady usually called Li Guo Li Gongzi, and recently omitted the word 'Li'.
Those who have achieved hegemony since ancient times are ruthless, and Li Guoxin is also ruthless, but he can't be ruthless in the face of innocent people. "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person! Besides, since you say the same thing, lady, why don't I listen? "Li Guo also omitted the 'red' of the red lady.
"In the middle of the day, what kind of lady is you talking nonsense, not afraid of others hearing it? No shame! The red lady counted Li Guo, but her pretty face was red. The title of lady is not a casual name, it is a term of affection between husband and wife. It's just that although the red lady said Li Guo, she was not angry.
Looking at the red lady's shy expression, Li Guo set up a pergola in a certain part of his body. Damn it! This little girl is a serious person, but it hooks people. Bear with me, sooner or later, I can't let you go! Li Guo scolded in his heart.
But the business is important, although there are many people coming, there is no chaos. Li Guo gave full play to his organizational expertise and made all of them formalized. Li Guo promoted the brothers in the Deyi class to small leaders and managed them according to the method proposed by Li Guo, so Jigong Mountain was in good order.
Although the landlord of Jigong Mountain, Wang Mushen, was old, he had a vision, and he actually donated his entire net worth. This moved Li Guo and the red lady very much, Wang Mushen's reputation is not bad, they are not ready to fight local tyrants.
"Li Gongzi, Red Lady, I have already seen through it, this world is not the same! To tell the truth, my king is an old gentleman, and he has a few years to live? If you two heroes are successful, you will definitely be able to achieve great things! Wang Mushen first praised "I have no children, and my young daughter is still young, but I just hope that the two of you can take care of her and make people grow up." After speaking, the king squire pulled the girl behind him.
Li Guo listened to the affection of the king's squire, and his heart was moved. I saw that the girl was only eleven or twelve years old, and she was really cute. He immediately promised, "Mr. Wang, since you believe in me so much, I, Li, swear to heaven that I will treat her like my own daughter in the future!" ”
The gentry couldn't stop crying, as if he was parting from life and death. Coincidentally, not long after, Wang Mushen had a cold and whimpered. Later, the daughter of the gentry Wang was regarded as a righteous daughter by Li Guo, and was raised by the red lady, and she was also a great figure, and later she was also named a princess.
Sending Wang Mushen away, Li Guo and the red lady were sighing, and someone came to tell him, saying that the official army was coming.
This is different from Li Guo's original plan, his earliest idea was not to prepare to go head-to-head with the official army, and it was wrong to be reckless.
But now, the mountains are full of people, and they can't run, so they can only fight!
Fortunately, there are not many enemies, only less than 300 people, and these Ming troops are just men and horses in Qixian County.
Song Cheng, the county commander of Qixian County, heard that Zhang Zhutou was killed by the Red Lady, and he was even more furious, and he ordered Zhao Tuanlian of Qixian County to immediately send troops to completely sweep away the Red Lady and her people.
The county commander Song Cheng didn't care about Li Guohong's people, he thought that this was just a matter of life for these artists in the Deyi class, how much ability could they have? They will be wiped out soon.
Zhao Tuanlian of Qixian County also thinks like this, and he doesn't look down on the red lady at all. This Zhao Tuan practiced martial arts bravely, and made two bright silver iron sledgehammers in his hands, dancing and whirring. In Qi County, the peasants who had made trouble died under his hammer.
Firearms were not prevalent in the Central Plains at that time. At that time, Li Zicheng had not yet entered Henan, there were no major wars, and the Ming army rarely used firearms. Without strict discipline, advanced military concepts, and advanced technology, the cumbersomeness of firearms has become a burden.
Therefore, Zhao Tuanlian, who made two sledgehammers in his hands, was full of confidence, and he thought that quelling the Jigong Mountain Rebellion was just a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, he was wrong. (To be continued......)
