After receiving these two shocking news, Li Xin sent people to Jining Prefecture to meet the main force of the Three Guards Army who did not know when they would arrive, and on the other hand, he mobilized the people who had been placed to prepare for a battle with the thieves.

"Now someone wants to take away your land and your belongings, can you agree?"

Li Shuangcai learned the tone of the Marquis of Zhenyu and lectured to the 2,000 members of the Border Security Team who belonged to him.

"Can't... Can't..."

There was an uproar in the crowd, and a few frightened responses rang out. Li Shuangcai was very dissatisfied and asked, "Didn't you all eat?" Speaks like a mother-in-law..."

"Officer Li, when the thieves come, we, we really won't be able to eat..."

"We have killed so many of them, and they will not let go of our ......"

The reaction of his subordinates made Li Shuangcai feel frustrated, and the expected response could not be achieved, but instead scared these useless guys into urinating. "Look at you, cowardly like a mother-in-law, don't forget that there is still the Ming Dynasty behind you, and the Marquis of our town is standing behind you..."

All Li Shuangcai can do now is to use the radical method on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will bring out the imperial court and the marquis. The words in his mouth were vibrant, but there were bursts of horror in his chest and abdomen, and he intuitively felt that the method of exchanging money and land for the head of the thief was really powerful, and he unconsciously let these tens of thousands of people accept the name, even if they wanted to rebel again, the thieves would never be able to tolerate them...

Which Cheng thought, his team members didn't buy it at all, "The imperial court? Fengyang's ancestral graves have been dug up, and the imperial court doesn't have a trick? How can our small Dangshan county take care of it? ”

Everyone is telling the truth, Li Shuangcai has no way to refute it, and he is even a little out of words, but he can't admit defeat, so how can he show his ability to the marquis.

"Now that our Daming Zhenhou is in Dangshan, haven't you heard of the prestige of the Zhenhou Hou? He has never lost a battle since he commanded the army, defeated the Mongol Tartars, and defeated the Manchu Tartars, and now the emperor has sent his old man to disrupt the thieves, and those dogs are not far from defeat... Our peaceful days are coming..."

Li Shuangcai's words somewhat saved him some face, and as the town captive marquis said one by one great achievements, he became more and more proud, as if he also participated in these contributions. Although the team members are refugees from all over the country, including Henan, Shandong, and even Shaanxi, they have more or less heard of Li Xin's prestige.

It is said that several governors in the court almost died at the hands of the Tartars, and in the end they were beaten out of the pass by the Marquis of Zhenqing, and in comparison with the two, Li Xin's prestige is even greater...

"Okay, it seems that there is such a thing, there is a town captive marquis sitting in Dangshan, and he is still afraid of a thief?"

"Yes, what are you afraid of him? We have 50,000 or 60,000 people, so let's fight with them..."

Li Shuangcai was overjoyed, and the feelings of the team members finally developed in the direction they expected, so they added strength to them.

"We also have weapons, so we took up arms and fought the thieves... They called their mothers..."

The battle situation of the people of Dangshan was quickly mobilized, and a total of 55,698 people were entered into the register, of which more than 15,000 were strong men, and all of them were definitely not a small number.

Li Shuangcai successfully showed his ability and value in front of the Marquis of Zhenyu, and was praised by the Marquis of Zhenlu, and for a time it seemed to outsiders that he had faintly become Li Xin's first confidant. It's just that Li Shuangcai and the people he mobilized didn't know that the shape they faced was far more complicated than they imagined.

"General, it is found that tens of thousands of six thieves are moving in the direction of Dangshan in the direction of Xiayi and Yongcheng in Defu. The direction of Xuzhou ......" Niu Jinsong was full of worries, and when he talked about Xuzhou, he couldn't help but pause and said: "The thieves in Xuzhou have occupied Xiao County, but, but our scouts have not come back since last night. We have lost our grasp of the current movements of the thieves in Xuzhou..."

Xiayi and Yongcheng belong to Henan Guidefu, both in the south of Dangshan County, and the thieves have come from the south to the north, which is already a situation of attacking from both sides. If the direction of Xuzhou also sends troops to attack, I am afraid that Dangshan County will be more auspicious.

Li Xinbing's entry into Dangshan was more to deter and contain the main force of the thieves, so that they would not dare to act rashly, but he never expected to provoke the thieves to take the initiative to attack from both sides, and finally led him to be firmly nailed to Dangshan and wanted to leave. You can't leave these more than 50,000 people behind and move in a hurry, right?

Li Xin made a lot of preparations for the thieves from Xiayi and Yongcheng, the first of which was to speed up the construction of the walled walls around the refugee camps outside the city. Secondly, he ordered people to clear the walls in Dangshan, and not a single grain was left for them. Li Xin was familiar with the way of the thieves, and they gathered together to travel thousands of miles, but they never needed food supplies, because they took food on the spot wherever they passed, and robbed as they went. Therefore, using the strong wall to deal with the thieves has become the first choice.

"If you send scouts in the direction of Xuzhou, you must know the exact location and direction of movement of the thieves."

In Li Xin's view, only the thieves in the direction of Xuzhou are the main force, otherwise how could they capture the important town of Xuzhou in a few days? And the two bandit armies of Xiayi and Yongcheng in Guide Mansion are likely to be suspicious soldiers. Because as early as when he was in Jining Prefecture, Li Xin had a detailed understanding of the specific situation during the war, and after the infighting between Li Zicheng and the 5th Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, the two sides parted ways. After Yang Sichang led his troops into Guide, he cleaned up the thieves stranded in Guide. Although Yang Sichang returned to Kaifeng with the army, the thieves filled it again, but after all, it was mostly a rabble, and there were no strong leaders like Li Zicheng and Ma Huihui, it was just a plate of loose sand, an out-and-out paper tiger.

After listening to Li Xin's analysis, Niu Jinsong, who had been worried, seemed to have regained some confidence. Don't look at Niu Jin Songping's bullish temper, as if he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but since he replaced Gu Pingyu to command 3,000 soldiers, he has always felt inferior to Gu Pingyu, for fear that something will make a mess and disappoint the general, so his style is very different from his character, more than calm and less enterprising.

Before coming to Dangshan, he could still ask Gu Pingyu for advice, but since the fall of Xuzhou, Zhou Fu was really worried about Zhou Yanru's safety, so he begged Li Xin to send Gu Pingyu to escort him across Xuzhou to find his master, so at this moment, Gu Pingyu was already on his way south.

Li Xin took Niu Jinsong to personally explore the junction of Dangshan and Xiayi, during which the waterways were criss-crossed, and there were several rivers that even the locals could not name. Seeing this scene, Li Xin had a bottom in his heart, fifty miles southwest of this place is Mangdang Mountain, it can be said that this large area is not suitable for marching, if there are really thieves from Xiayi and Yongcheng, I am afraid that in the face of this terrain, they will have to lose more than half of their combat effectiveness.

Niu Jinsong also followed Li Xin's side, seeing that the terrain in the south of Dangshan County was so complicated, the previous haze was swept away. Then he said excitedly:

"Now that I have come here with the general, I can rest assured, these big rivers and mountains are our 100,000 troops in Dangshan County..."

Li Xin smiled and said nothing, since the goal has been achieved, after regaining his self-confidence, as long as Niu Jinsong plays at a normal level, he can fight with the thieves. The group was about to return to Dangshan County, and the horse team walked less than ten miles, when the rangers cruising around suddenly caught a spy.

At present, the terrain is uninhabited for thousands of miles, and if a pedestrian appears, there must be a big problem, and the usually sensitive ranger scout has captured this person alive. It's just that before he could be interrogated, the man shouted for mercy, and then poured all the beans into the bamboo tube.

"Official, military, spare your life...... I've recruited, I've recruited them all......"

It was the news that came out of the mouth of this spy that made Li Xin's brows jump twice suddenly.

"How does Ben Shuai know if what you say is true or false?"

The spy looked crying and kowtowed, "What the villain said is true, if there is half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky..."

Li Xin inquired again and again, and only then did he confirm that the information he got from this spy was eight out of ten. Nine is true.

"General, what should we do now?"

Li Xin sighed secretly, how can he deal with it, he now has a great feeling of being a doppelganger, if the main force of the Three Guards has arrived in Jining Prefecture at this moment, why is he so embarrassed?

Daming Jingshi, heavy snow fell for three days and three nights. Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, had a sad face, and such auspicious signs as Ruixue Zhaofeng Nian could not soothe the anger and disappointment in his heart at all. Just three hours ago, he got the bad news from Henan. Governor Xiong Wencan and Li Zichengge's left 5th battalion and other thieves were defeated in a battle, and died after being captured.

Humiliation... Humiliation... The important ministers of the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of thieves, shattering Zhu Youzhen's dream of Zhongxing. When he first learned the news, he was almost angry and asked left and right.

"Where is Yang Sichang, and what is Yang Sichang going to do?"

The important ministers present were silent, and no one answered, but Wang Chengen reminded in a low voice: "Back to Long Live Lord, it is reported that the Yang Pavilion Department was in Kaifeng at that time... Later, Yang Gebu personally led his troops to Guide Mansion and defeated Li Zicheng, which can be regarded as avenging Xiong Butang......"

Zhu Youzhen sneered a few times, swept the official documents on the imperial case to the ground with a loud bang, and stood up abruptly, his body trembling uncontrollably with the violent rise and fall of his chest. The important ministers were as silent as cicadas, and they didn't dare to make more noise, let alone speak out at this time. By now, everyone understands that Yang Sichang is completely finished, and some people are really happy and some are worried.

"Intended ......"

After standing for a long time, Zhu Youzhen finally made up his mind...
