Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In front of the huge combat map, Gu Zhenhua, Li Jibo, Luo Yangxing, Wu Kaijie, Fang Jianming, everyone's eyes fell on the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they all frowned, and they couldn't stop thinking deeply.

After a while, Li Jibo laughed self-deprecatingly: "Henan is a good card, but it's a pity that our foundation is too thin, and it's really a bit difficult to play flowers." ”

Luo Yangxing also said: "That's right, Grandpa Guo, I won't talk about the battle of about 10,000 people, but once it comes to the big battle of three or five people, it must wait until half a year later." ”

Why wait until half a year, everyone knows in their hearts that the cultivation system founded by Gu Zhenhua wants to play a role, at least one harvest must be completed, and the whole system can operate on its own, and it will have vitality.

At present, the state of An** is more like a seedling in a greenhouse, with unlimited potential, but it has not been transplanted to the ground, and there is a risk at any time. Especially at present, Henan has been plagued by famine for many years, and agricultural production has been severely destroyed, Gu Zhenhua has barely satisfied the basic life of the people by relying on the strong attack on the landlords and the support of Jiangnan.

If the grain harvest is not completed, Henan's economy will collapse again, and without food, the Tuntian Grange is also a castle in the air, and the roots have not really been rooted in this land.

"The sweet potatoes and potatoes over there have been harvested, and the wheat will be planted soon, and we will not be able to really get through the dangerous period until May and June next year!" Gu Zhenhua looked up at the ceiling and sighed: "But the Tartars won't give us such a long time, and Li Zicheng doesn't have the ability to last so long." ”

Wu Kaijie couldn't help but say: "Grandpa Guo, if you want to make a humble position, Li Zicheng is a rice bucket with a few inches. There may be some reasons for him to withdraw from Gyeonggi, but he can't even give up Shanxi. I returned to Shaanxi as soon as I slipped away! Shanxi's rivers and mountains, no matter how defeated they are, they can also consume the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then retreat to the old nest and continue to fight again. But now he has given up on Shanxi. Not only did Shaanxi be exposed, but even the northern part of Henan was threatened, leaving us with a big mess. ”

"Don't complain, Li Zicheng is not my subordinate, I can't let him listen to us. For now, I just think about how I can survive this time. ”

Li Jibo thought for a moment. said: "The old man imagined three situations, the Manchu Qing Dynasty went all out to attack the Liukou, Li Zicheng held on, we sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and Henan was all in hand; Secondly, the Manchus beat Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng held on with our help. Henan is in our hands, and the loss is great; Li Zicheng was defeated again, the main force of the Qing army attacked Henan, and our army inflicted heavy losses on the Qing army and lost most of the land in Henan. ”

Fang Jianming couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, there is another worst situation you haven't said, we will completely lose Henan!" ”

"Then there will be no Ann **!" Li Jibo said with a smile.

Everyone present was stunned. An ** took Henan and took a great step, but the test ahead became more severe.

Gu Zhenhua thought for a long time before he said: "The first judgment is completely gambling, we can't pin our hopes on others, what we have to do now is to strive for the second and desperately ensure the third." ”

"I estimate that at this time, the Manchus already knew the information that Zukefa had been destroyed, and most of them had already dispatched troops and were ready to attack us. Therefore, we and Li Zicheng are facing a common enemy. Hand in hand against the enemy is a priority. ”

Gu Zhenhua said, looked at Wu Kaijie again, his smile was full of playfulness, Wu Kaijie was also extraordinarily single, and smiled helplessly: "Grandpa Guo." You want me to go on another run, don't you? ”

"That's right, you're sharp-toothed and young enough to run errands."

"Grandpa Guo, I am willing to go, but my status is too low, I'm afraid that people will look down on me."

"Do you want to be promoted?"

"Grandpa Guo is really generous, thank you for your humble position!"

"Dreaming!" Gu Zhenhua sneered and said: "Benjue has always been rewarded only after it is done well, how can there be a reason to be promoted in advance, so let's send you an assistant." ”

"Assistant? Who is it? ”

"Zuo Maodi."

This name was relatively unfamiliar to everyone present, only Luo Yangxing was a little impressed, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, this person is a Jinshi of Chongzhen for four years?" I remember that when he was in charge of the household department, he wrote a book to bitterly show the four evils, which can be regarded as something to say, but this person is from Donglin, and I'm afraid it's not all the way with you, right? ”

Luo Yangxing said it very politely, the Donglin Party was collapsed by Gu Zhenhua, and now it is notorious, and the backbone has fled to death. During this period of time, Nanjing published the "Three Dynasties Essentials", and Gu Zhenhua used Huang Zongxi and others to write articles to expose the Donglin Party's crimes.

Obviously it's all buried, Gu Zhenhua still has to put a spirit talisman on it to prevent the corpse from being cheated, the two sides have an endless hatred, Gu Zhenhua still dares to use the old man of Donglin, isn't this a joke?

Wu Kaijie also hurriedly shook his head, "Grandpa Guo, you can send anyone, but you must be sent to an opponent!" ”

"What do you know? Although Zuo Maodi was born in Donglin, is it impossible to be loyal to Benjue? ”

"Oh? Grandpa Guo, that guy Zuo Maodi is upright, but it's not easy to convince. Luo Yangxing said.

"Nothing is easy." Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Actually, it's a coincidence, Zuo Maodi is from Shandong, after Yucheng won the Qing army, Li Xu Kang Lesheng and they entered Shandong and brought back many people in Shandong. Among them is Zuo Maodi's mother, and the old lady is also a martyr and respectable figure. After hearing about the demise of the Ming Dynasty, he sent a farewell letter to Zuo Maodi, and then washed his face with tears at home, without eating or drinking. Our people rescued the old lady, who was already blind from crying, and only a handful of bones were left in her thin state, and those who saw her wept! ”

When everyone heard this, they understood that the emotion was that Gu Zhenhua saved his mother, so it was easy to say. The personnel of the mission were quickly determined, Zuo Mao was appointed as the first envoy, Wu Kaijie was the deputy envoy, and a group of entourage, and they marched to Xi'an as much as possible.

Perhaps due to historical coincidence, Zuo Maodi originally represented the Southern Ming Dynasty as an envoy to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and died tragically under the butcher's knife, but now with the appearance of Gu Zhenhua, Zuo Maodi has become an envoy to Li Zicheng. Although they are all envoys, their impact on the overall situation of the world is completely different.

After arranging the matter of the envoy, Gu Zhenhua said again: "Mr. Li, let's discuss the worst case again." ”

Li Jibo smiled: "Presumably, Grandpa Guo has already thought about it. If Li Zicheng fails, we will be unable to support it alone, it will be difficult to hold along the Yellow River, and Xuzhou and other places will not be safe, the only thing we can rely on. This is it! ”

Looking at the location of Li Jibo's finger, Gu Zhenhua also showed a smile on his face, and the two of them thought of going together, it was Nanyang, Henan!

The Nanyang Basin is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Funiu Mountain in the north and Tongbai Mountain in the east. To the west is Xiaoshan and Jianshan, and to the south is Hanshui. The basin covers a vast area, has sufficient grain, and is known as the granary of Zhongzhou, and the water system in the basin is abundant, which is most suitable for large-scale waterwheels. Establishment of industrial zones.

Geographically, the Nanyang Basin is the center of China, sandwiched between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, with the Guanzhong Plain and the Chengdu Plain to the west, and the North China Plain and the Jianghuai Plain to the east, all of which are the richest regions in China.

Control zhì Nanyang, enter can attack Jianghuai. Go north to the capital, retreat can go south to Huguang, west to Sichuan, vertical and horizontal, easy to play, and the Nanyang Basin itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, rich in products, it is simply a treasure left by God!

Li Jibo said with a smile: "Back then, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu was based in Nanyang, and only then did he prosper the Han Dynasty and continue the national glory for two hundred years. If Grandpa Guo builds a foundation in Nanyang. Maybe we can also emulate the old story of Han Guangwu! ”

"Hahaha, those are still too far away, let's just talk about the present, our military industrial base is in Guide, next to Xuzhou. The soldiers are very vulnerable to attack. If we can move to Nanyang, not only will the safety be guaranteed, but the supply of coal and iron will be more sufficient, and the production capacity will be increased several times. ”

Gu Zhenhua's words are not bragging, Nanyang is next to Pingdingshan, where it is a coal bunker in the Central Plains, and the reserves of coal and iron are very amazing. Although the current mining methods are still very backward, as long as they get a little bit of it, it is enough.

Moreover, Nanyang is also connected to Huguang and Sichuan, where there are also large reserves of coal and iron, which can supply needs. In fact, Gu Zhenhua loves Nanyang, and he still has historical considerations, after all, whether the newly trained An ** can resist the Manchu Iron Cavalry, no one has a spectrum in his heart.

Gu Zhenhua has no doubt about the final victory, but the process may be very difficult. The base was arranged in Nanyang, which was convenient for retreating to Huguang, Sichuan, one was a lofty mountain range, and the other was a dense river network, which was just enough to restrain the Manchu cavalry.

Of course, this Ji Guogong, who has always been full of confidence, is planning how to arrange the back road, which sounds a little unbelievable. But fortunately, Gu Zhenhua would not tell others, and several think tanks discussed it and agreed to this idea.

"Grandpa Guo, since you want to run Nanyang, you must send capable people, in fact, the most suitable is Grandpa Guo!"

"Hahaha, no, Benjue still has to strive for the best result." Gu Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "In this way, let Guo Yunlong be the main general, 6 Yong as a helper, and the civil officials will send Xia Shouli to give them another 5,000 elites, and Chen Yi will also follow with Henan soldiers." ”

After finalizing the plan to send troops, Gu Zhenhua was not idle, but reorganized his men and horses and prepared to capture Luoyang. Luoyang is now under the rule of Henan Mansion, and after Gu Zhenhua took Kaifeng, he also investigated the surrounding situation, and now Henan Mansion is a mess.

As early as the Chongzhen period, Henan was full of bandits, and a large number of bandits included Li Jiyu, Li Hao, Han Jiadi and others, who gathered in the mountains and forests, gathering hundreds of thousands.

These thieves gradually combined with the local heroes and formed a force, wandering between Dashun and Daming, which side of the wind fell hard to which side. In fact, Gao Zhongwen, who Gu Zhenhua killed, also has this tendency. Now that An ** has entered Henan, these bandits have also lost their living space, and most of them have fled to Henan Province, which is close to the rule of the Dashun army, and the strength of An ** is relatively weak.

In addition, there is a big man in Henan Mansion, that is, Zhang Jinyan, the former secretary of the military department, this guy first surrendered to Dashun, but after Li Zicheng was unlucky, he fled back to his hometown, and the powerful landlords in his place, and even the bandits and grass bandits colluded together, forming a huge force, entrenched in Luoyang and other places.

If you want to open up the connection with Li Zicheng, realize interaction and cooperation, enter Henan Mansion, take Luoyang, and kill these bandits, it has become an urgent task.

Just two days after Wu Kaijie and their mission left, Gu Zhenhua personally marched towards Luoyang with three guard battalions, five formal battalions, and five provisional battalions.

All the way, unimpeded, the people are particularly welcome to An's team, Gu Zhenhua led the people, passed the pass, and it was not far from Luoyang.

As the army was marching in, a scout suddenly reported that there had been a large-scale fight ahead. When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "After walking for so long, I haven't seen a bandit, Benjue thought that Henan was peaceful in the world, but I didn't expect to wait for us here, the big guy followed Benjue over to take a look!" ”

Gu Zhenhua urged the war horse and quickly came to the place of the incident, only to see hundreds of horsemen fighting desperately. A large number of young and strong cavalry surrounded a group of people, and it was seen that there were fewer and fewer people in the encirclement.

"Brothers, don't be too heavy, you must know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it is a great sin to hurt these girls with fine skin and tender flesh!"

The bandits in the outer circle laughed strangely, and the people in the circle kept falling off their horses, but there was a woman wielding a waist knife, like a butterfly, fanning quickly, and from time to time an enemy was cut under the horse by her.

However, a woman's body is limited after all, her knife slashed at the opponent's shoulder, but it was blocked by the armor, this guy immediately responded with a knife, and suddenly a piece of bright red robe was cut off and fell to the ground.

Gu Zhenhua was far away, but he was suddenly attracted by this touch of red, and angry flames appeared in his eyes.

"Drive!" The whip was whipped, and the horse rushed out like a bolt of lightning.

The people in the back still don't understand what's going on, one by one the monks. Xie Bin looked at the big guy's appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Don't look at it, follow Grandpa Guo to kill it!" ”

At this time, Gu Zhenhua's war horse had already rushed to the periphery of these people, and before they knew it, the long knife in Gu Zhenhua's hand waved.

With the sound of the wind, he slashed hard, and suddenly three cavalrymen were cut under their horses. Gu Zhenhua danced the long knife like a windmill, and the ferocious meat grinder turned the guys in front of him into broken corpses.

Finally, Gu Zhenhua, who was covered in blood, rushed to the core of the encirclement, there were less than ten female soldiers left here who were still fighting, and the woman in red in the middle had a knife on her forehead, and the blood flowed on her white jade-like face, which was extremely dazzling!

"Die!"

Gu Zhenhua shot out angrily and slashed at the leading guy, this guy hurriedly raised his knife to parry, but where was he Gu Zhenhua's opponent. With a powerful knife, it shattered the waist knife, cut off the body, slashed diagonally from the shoulder to the ribs, and half of the body fell on the yellow earth, clean and neat!

The female knight on the red horse raised her head suddenly, revealing a look of disbelief, "What, why are you here?" ”
