The girl watched Li Guo impatiently swing the knife, and her heart sank. Her eyes were hollow, and her hands mechanically took off all the clothes on her body. Why was you born in this era? The girl lamented the suffering of her life, and looking at her naked body, the girl closed her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

These brutes! I won't let them go if I'm a ghost! The girl secretly put her two hands behind her back, and there was a small pair of scissors in her hands, and she was going to die with the wicked!

"Why did you take it all off?" Li Guo's surprised shout came from the girl's ears.

"Put on your little clothes! Then change into men's clothes, hurry! Li Guo roared.

The girl opened her eyes in wonder, looked at Li Guo, who was a little anxious, and became confused, didn't he want to take off his clothes by himself, and wanted to be rude?

However, when the girl heard Li Guo's words, she suddenly had some hope in her heart, and hurriedly put on her small clothes, and according to Li Guo's orders, she put on the fat and big clothes of the dead Wang Han, and then looked at Li Guo in a daze.

Li Guo grabbed a handful of mud in the damp place and walked quickly to the girl's side.

The girl looked at Li Guo who was rushing, couldn't help but be startled, and took a step back.

Li Guo grabbed the girl, smeared it on the girl's face, and messed up the girl's hair.

The girl didn't react for a while, and the scissors in her hand forgot to stab out.

Li Guo looked at the girl and dropped the two coins of silver. Li Guo sighed and said to the girl, "Alas, try to find a way to live in the troubled times, hurry up and find a safe place to hide!" After speaking, Li Guo turned around and left, leaving only the stunned girl.

Li Guo walked out of the courtyard gate quickly, and Liu Tichun, who was guarding the door, was stunned and blurted out, "Brother, it's over so soon?" ”

Li Guo flew up, kicked Liu Tichun to the ground, and scolded, "Fart!" I let her go! ”

Then he said slowly, "Pure body, we are all from a bitter background, do we still want to bully the poor people?" Remember, if we want to achieve great things in the future, we must not let the common people suffer! ”

Liu Tichun nodded, stepped on the horse, and rushed towards the killing place with Li Guo.

Because Wang Han's Ming army was burning, killing and plundering, scattered all over Huangjiazhai, it was only six or seven stragglers, so in the face of Li Guo's strong rebel army of twenty people, they were quickly wiped out. And the rebels had no losses except for one dead and three wounded.

With Li Guo's two personal soldiers riding fast horses, they raised their knives in the stockade and shouted, "Seal the knife, seal the knife!" "The fighting soon subsided.

Li Guo stood in the courtyard of the house of Huang Shoude, the owner of the village, and Huang Shoude's family had been slaughtered by Wang Han's official army.

More than a dozen taels of gold and several hundred taels of silver were found from the officers and soldiers who robbed Huangjiazhai and Huang Shoude's house, which is already quite a lot in the countryside.

However, there are thousands of stone of grain, and now only more than 1,000 people can eat Li Zicheng's troops for two or three months. Moreover, 300 war horses of the Ming army and some pack horses and donkeys in Huangjiazhai were captured, which meant an increase in the strength of the peasant army.

Looking at the gold, silver and food that the rebels moved out one after another, Li Guo was happy in his heart.

At this time, there was a noise outside the door, Li Guo walked out, and saw an unkempt man who wanted to break in, because Li Guo strictly ordered that innocents should not be killed indiscriminately, so the rebels guarding the door only blocked it.

Li Guo saw that it was the girl, but now the girl's face was covered with sludge, and the others could no longer distinguish between men and women.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Li asked.

"Master!" The girl fell to her knees with a puff, "Please take me with me, I am the only one left in my house, I have nowhere to go, I am willing to serve you as a cow and a horse for the rest of my life." If you don't take me with you, please kill me! ”

Li Guo was stunned and was about to speak.

The girl then said, "Master, it is better to die at the hands of a benefactor than to die at the hands of others." ”

"This?" Li Guo groaned in his heart. Of course, he could see that the girl had no intention of dying.

"Master! Either you kill me, or you make me follow you! The girl's eyes were full of stubbornness.

Li Guo shook his head, feeling embarrassed, if it was a man, Li Guo might bring her, but a girl can't do it, because it's inconvenient. But looking at the meaning of this girl, she vows not to give up until she achieves her goal.

Li Guo frowned, and thought of an idea, "Okay, you can follow me if you want, but we fight on horses every day, can you ride a horse?" If I can ride, I'll leave you! Li Guo looked at the girl's thin appearance and knew that she must not be able to ride a horse.

After listening to Li Guo's words, the girl immediately ran to the horse tied outside, untied a horse, stepped on the saddle and was about to run up, but the horse was fierce, raised its hooves, and lifted the girl off. Li Guo and the onlookers couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the sentry soldiers came to report that the brigade led by Li Zicheng had arrived. Li Guo hurriedly turned over and stepped forward to greet him, today's harvest was too great, and he wanted to tell Li Zicheng about this matter in person.

As soon as he left the village, he met Li Zicheng, Li Guo smiled and told the story of the capture of Huangjiazhai.

However, although Li Zicheng and the others were happy, they didn't seem to pay attention to Li Guo, and they looked behind Li Guo one after another.

Liu Zhongmin, who was on the side, grinned and said to Li Guo, "Make up for it, is this a recruit you recruited?" Everyone burst out laughing.

Li Guo looked back, in addition to his own soldiers, there was another person on a horse following him, it was the girl. It can't be called horseback riding, the girl is now lying on the horse's back, her hands tightly hugging the horse's neck, because of nervousness and force, the mud-covered face faintly reveals blue and purple.

Li Guo blushed and said to Li Zicheng, "Second father, that, I want to form a child army!" As a source of our reserves. ”

As he spoke, the horse carrying the girl suddenly snorted, almost knocking the girl down.

Everyone laughed again.

Li Zicheng couldn't help but smile, "Okay!" It's up to you, and you're in charge of putting it together to try, but it doesn't seem to be very useful. After speaking, Li Zicheng led people to walk towards the village.

Li Guo fell behind, passed by the girl, and scolded in a low voice, "Damn, clean out Lao Tzu's foreign appearance!" Forget it, follow me, what's your name? ”

The girl stuck to the horse's back and replied, "My name is Huang Xiu." ”

"Well, you'll be a man from now on, understand?" Li Guo commanded.

The girl nodded, still a little nervous on the horse, but faintly happy.

However, the capable and shrewd Liu Tichun saw something different, and he asked Li Guo, "Brother, this is the girl you saved, right?" ”

Li Guo glared at Liu Tichun angrily and scolded, "Bastard thing! Talkative! She's a man, her name is Huang Xiu, understand? ”

Liu Tichun hurriedly nodded again and again, "Understood, understood." His expression was an evil smile.

Li Guo couldn't help frowning and ignored him.

As a result, Li Guo has an extra half-grown baby who looks a little girly, and the pro-soldier Huang Xiu.

Li Guo didn't want Huang Xiu to get too close, but Huang Xiu's temper looked extremely stubborn, and he didn't take half a step away from Li Guo when he beat and scolded, and even slept in Li Guo's tent. Li Guo wanted to drive Huang Xiu out of his tent, but looking at Huang Xiu's pitiful eyes, Li Guo sighed and let her be. Huang Xiu has always dressed up as a man, but she doesn't have to paint her face with mud anymore.

Li Guo himself gradually got used to it, and even almost forgot that Huang Xiu was a woman.

Because now Li Guo is in a hurry.

First of all, the most important thing is to find opportunities to establish base areas, without which it will be difficult to effectively train a real elite army.

However, in the current situation, it is almost impossible to establish a base area. But taking Huang Xiu in gave Li Guo a new idea.

Now Li Zicheng also has some elite soldiers under his command, but those men who lick blood with knives are far from a trained and regularized army. Moreover, the absence of a base area means that there is no stable grain and salary, and the peasant army that has no food and only relies on looting will certainly not really win the hearts and minds of the people. You must know that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is an unswerving truth!

Li Guo's idea was that since there was no base, he might as well start from other aspects. For example, Huang Xiu, a child soldier! Li Guo knew that the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty took more than ten years before it entered Beijing. When a teenage child soldier actually fights, he is at the age when he is physically strong.

Besides, children who are not very sensible can better carry out their orders, unlike Liu Zongmin's stubborn donkey-like characters.

In addition, if there is no base, can't we start from the ideological point of view? It's hard to change your mindset, but if you succeed and make people follow you with all their hearts, the benefits are huge. What's more, children don't have their own opinions.

Also, now that the war is being fought, it is all a chaotic rush forward, and there is no discipline, can this work? Of course not, formal training should be carried out.
