Chapter Seventy-Nine: Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace

Late at night, in the forage field, Li Zicheng and his entourage harvested beyond everyone's expectations, even Li Changmao, who was the county commander of Yuzhong County, was shocked, followed Liu Fangliang and others to the licorice shop, and Li Zicheng met.

At this moment, everyone is standing in the warehouse of the forage field, a huge space, more than a dozen people are present in it, and it still seems empty. There was still excitement on everyone's faces, and Liu Fangliang couldn't help but be excited: "Boss, let's get rich this time, as long as we sell all these unused things such as tea and porcelain in the warehouse, the silver taels sold are enough for the brothers to squander for several years!" ”

"Yes, boss, what Liu Fangliang said is right, plus those materials, as well as the food and weapons captured by a few of us in other places, in the days to come, not only will we not have to worry about eating and drinking, but also how many weapons we can equip when we come to join us." Wu Ruyi's face was flushed, and he also agreed.

"Yes, yes, the two captains are right. Not only that, but these tea and porcelain can also be traded with those Hu people, and they can be exchanged for some war horses, which is enough for us to set up an elite cavalry of 5,000! Another person was so excited that he couldn't help himself, his eyes lit up, and he said fancifully.

......

It seems that everyone is blinded by the value of the goods in the warehouse, and they are in a state of extreme excitement, as if they have forgotten their original intention. At this time, Li Changmao gradually returned to calm down from his excitement, his excited mood calmed down, as if he thought of something, his face immediately sank, and he became extremely cold.

In the enthusiastic discussion, when everyone was fantasizing and looking forward to the future, Li Changmao came to Li Zicheng's side, stood up straight, bowed long, showed a solemn face, and made a deep bow, which seemed very abrupt and inappropriate, and everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but secretly guess: "Could it be that this buddy's head is pumping again, and he is angry and pouring cold water?" ”

Although he has long been accustomed to Li Changmao like this, he often pours cold water on everyone. However, seeing Li Changmao's sudden and strange actions, Li Zicheng still felt a little unhappy in his heart, and then reined in his mind and asked patiently: "Changmao, what's wrong?" I was quite happy just now, why did I suddenly cry with a sad face? ”

At the same time, Li Changmao had already recovered his figure, and when he heard Li Zicheng's inquiry, he immediately replied sincerely: "Boss, the harvest this time is very rich, plus the gains of the captains in other places. Even if we double the size of the troops, within a few years, we will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and we don't have to worry about weapons such as knives and guns. ”

Speaking of this, Li Changmao's tone paused, and then said, "But, boss, have you ever thought about it? We made such a big move, not only robbed the small treasury of Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, but also captured several other county towns in a row, and robbed the official treasury and grain in the county, how could the imperial court let it go? ”

reminded the dreamer that although the people present didn't want to pay attention to this matter, they just wanted to get by, and live a day when there was wine tonight and drunk today, Li Changmao's words swept everyone's interest. However, what people said is right, all the people present are their own people, and it is impossible for their own people to fight among themselves, let alone be unreasonable with each other.

The warm atmosphere gradually cooled, everyone's thinking gradually returned to rationality, Li Zicheng's brows were even deeper, Tian Jianxiu on the side once again regained his generous character, and said elegantly: "Boss, what Changmao said is right, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, think of countermeasures, once the army of the imperial court surrounds us, if we prepare when the time comes, it will be too late." ”

If Li Changmao's words are not light enough, because he joined everyone too late and his qualifications are not enough, but Tian Jianxiu's statement has to make everyone pay attention to it, and start thinking about Li Changmao and Tian Jianxiu's words from the heart.

At the beginning, the reason why he planned several big moves in a row was to prevent trouble before it happened, replenish the weapons for the remaining brothers, and increase the strength of confrontation with the official army. However, compared with now, the situation has been very different, and the movement is so big that it is impossible not to attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, and they will definitely take the lead in encircling and suppressing the Li Jiajun in Yuzhong County.

Li Zicheng's brows were still deep, he no longer thought, looked up at Li Changmao, and asked in an extremely calm tone: "Changmao, since you raised this question, there must be further thoughts and considerations, you might as well talk about it." ”

Li Changmao didn't make any more false accusations, nodded, and immediately replied: "Boss, there are both positive and negative situations. Therefore, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the official army, we must not only be prepared for resolute resistance, but also be prepared to reserve a way back and retreat in case of defeat. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of controversy, and there was immediately a buzzing whisper, and Liu Fangliang was even more unscrupulous: "Li County Order, what are you talking about?" If the battle has not yet been fought, you will be defeated, this is not to shake the morale of the army, who still has the heart to confront the ...... the official army? ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand and interrupted Liu Fangliang's questioning: "Liu Fangliang, now it's time to discuss matters and discuss issues, and there is nothing to shake or shake the military's heart." Don't go online anymore, otherwise, how can you speak freely? How else do you get others to speak their minds? If you can't speak your mind freely and say what is in your heart, how can you formulate a good countermeasure? ”

Although these words are to stop Liu Fangliang's words, it seems that Li Changmao is relieving the siege, it is better to say that Li Zicheng is giving everyone a reassurance, and he can talk about all his worries and worries, any hidden worries that may exist.

Li Changmao was even more sensitive to this point, and his heart moved, and he admired Li Zicheng's mind and generosity more and more, especially the atmosphere rendered at this time, dignified but not nervous, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, everyone can say their own thoughts.

Li Changmao couldn't think about it too much, but saw Li Zicheng regain his composure just now, looked at Li Changmao again, threw out a look of encouragement and affirmation, and then said softly: "Changmao, you go on, don't have any scruples." ”

What scholar hasn't thought about showing his revenge and talent in his chest? What person of insight doesn't want to choose a Ming Jun, assist him, establish immortal merits, and pass them down through the ages? Li Changmao is no exception, he is in the prime of his life, with the ambition of Lingyun, when he meets a master like Li Zicheng, he gives enough attention and trust, how can he not use all his strength, all his talents?

"Boss, I won't say anything about the confrontation with the officers and soldiers, I think everyone knows what to do. So let me talk about the negative side, how to prepare for the worst situation. ”

Li Changmao still couldn't help but pause, looked around again, looked around again, saw everyone's reactions, and finally stopped on Li Zicheng's body: "Changmao, just say it, we understand what you mean, as long as you are not a fool, you know what to do against the official army?" ”

Li Changmao was relieved a lot by the response of the person with the highest power, and then continued: "According to our current situation, although we have more than 2,000 troops, with the gains of the past few days, we can completely turn everyone into cavalry. However, it is undeniable that in the face of a large number of officers and troops, we will not be able to hold Yuzhong County. If you stick to it, there can only be one result in the end, that is, the total annihilation. Therefore, we must be prepared to retreat. ”

Hearing this, some people nodded, some people shook their heads, but their faces were helpless, Tian Jianxiu even subconsciously asked: "Li County Order, once our Li family army can't resist the encirclement and suppression offensive of the official army, how do you think we should retreat?" ”

"Hmm... Retreat is good retreat. After all, although we have more than 2,000 people, we are all cavalry, very mobile, and able to retreat at any time. The only drag is that our harvest in the past two or three months, the silver and grain will definitely not be able to take away, and it is a pity to abandon it, if it is burned, it will be too violent and ruin, and it will damage the prestige of our benevolent and righteous teachers. ”

As soon as Li Changmao said this, Liu Fangliang couldn't help but exhale angrily: "That's not simple, leave what we bring on the road, and distribute the rest to the people, in short, we can't let those dogs of the court see cheap." ”

Li Zicheng shook his head, and immediately gave a denial: "It's too late, the official army is about to make a big move, and wants to encircle and suppress the rebel army from all walks of life, if we do this, the officials and troops of Lanzhou Mansion will definitely rush directly to us, and there is not enough time to distribute to the people." ”

Li Changmao nodded, and then echoed: "What the boss said is right, in terms of time alone, it's too late." Moreover, I personally believe that even if you have enough time, you should not give away the money and food that you can't take away to the people. Otherwise, it will not only not make their lives easier, but it will also bring disaster. ”

Between the words, some people already understood the reason. Today's Shaanxi is not only burdensome with all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also has continuous natural disasters, but also a family of soldiers and bandits. It would be devastating to let them know that the people had a lot of money and food hidden in their homes!

"So what do you say you should do? It's a pity to throw it away, it can't be distributed to the people, and the officials and soldiers can't pick it up. Liu Fangliang said such a sentence in a hurry, such a brain-burning question made him very uncomfortable, couldn't figure it out, and couldn't come up with a good solution.

Liu Fangliang's question is also what everyone wants to know. For a while, all eyes stayed on Li Changmao's body, waiting for the latter's answer.

Between the answers, the tension in Li Changmao's heart became lighter and weaker, and he became more and more confident, feeling everyone's eyes and expectation.

"Boss, everyone, you might as well think in your mind, in the southwest of Yuzhong County, there are two mountains, namely Xinglong Mountain and Mabit Mountain, which belong to the Qilian Mountain Range. If we seal this money and grain in the mountains, we will store it there. Once the power becomes greater in the future, we will develop, and this will be a lot of military salaries. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and their faces suddenly brightened, and Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but admire: "Wonderful, really wonderful, in this way, all the worries will be solved, and some problems will be solved!" ”
