Another few days passed, and on this day, Li Zicheng sat in the pavilion in the back garden of the county office, in a daze, sometimes smirking, sometimes muttering: "Hehe... I really didn't expect that Xu Xiake had just come out of Mabit Mountain, and as soon as he dozed off, someone sent him a pillow. I really didn't disappoint, Xu Xiake really knew where there were natural caves in Mabit Mountain and Xinglong Mountain. Asi, in a few days, the storage places of Horse Bit Mountain and Xinglong Mountain will be perfected, and various mechanisms will be constructed in the caves. ”

At this time, Li Zicheng's heart was settled, and there were fewer worries, those people who were extremely close to Li Jiajun and trustworthy had already sneaked into Xinglong Mountain and Mabit Mountain one after another, and the relocation place was near the grain storage and storage, and there was not much left, and in a few days, it would all be transferred.

At this moment, suddenly, a soldier came in a hurry, with an eager face, and when there was still a certain distance from Li Zicheng, he couldn't help shouting: "Boss, it's not good, Liu Guangsheng, the governor of Shaanxi, led five thousand cavalry out of the south gate of Lanzhou City, walked southeast along the official road, and went straight to our Yuzhong County." In less than a day, it will enter the territory of Yuzhong County. ”

Suddenly, Li Zicheng woke up from his stunned mind, and when he heard this, he was a spirit, and he immediately had a preliminary comparison of forces in his heart, although he had an elite cavalry of nearly 3,000 people, all of them were brave and good at fighting, but it was impossible to send them all, and he had to leave a part to guard the lair.

In this way, the overall strength of the two will be even more different.

With a rough estimate, Li Zicheng also knew that it was not his own business now, and all the generals must be summoned to convene an emergency military meeting and everyone to discuss it. After all, one person counts short, two people count long!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng didn't hesitate any longer, stood up suddenly, with a solemn look on his face, and while walking in one direction, he ordered: "Immediately call all the squad leaders to the hall for a meeting!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the soldier had not gone far and seemed to think of something, Li Zicheng added: "By the way, by the way, call Li County Commander and let him also participate in the emergency military meeting." ”

"Yes, Boss!"

Li Zicheng's pace couldn't help but speed up a little, and he went straight to the living room in a hurry, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was gloomy and dignified.

Soon after, the hall was not as crowded as expected, and there were only a few people, namely Li Zicheng, Li Guo, Wu Ruyi, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, and Li Changmao.

Although there are few people, it condenses the absolute essence of Li Jiajun, represents all soldiers, and belongs to the soul of Li Jiajun.

At this moment, in a quiet atmosphere, Li Zicheng looked around and looked at everyone one by one, and then said earnestly: "Which of you speaks first?" Regarding Li Guangsheng's use of troops this time, leading 5,000 people, talk about ideas, how should we deal with it? ”

This is the first time Li Changmao has participated in such an important military meeting, and he was very surprised by Li Zicheng's opening remarks, but he didn't expect that this person who made everyone call him the boss was so open, and he was not as arrogant and arbitrary as he imagined.

When he received the moment of attending the meeting, Li Changmao thought that the boss had directly issued an order to assign tasks to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the official army. Instead of discussing it with everyone, as is the case now.

Thinking of this, Li Changmao had a further understanding of Li Zicheng, this boss is like a multi-faceted person. When you are a scoundrel, you are the best of the scoundrels; When he is serious, he is like a person in a high position, with a very leading temperament, which makes people follow him convincingly; When he is selfish, he is more selfish than anyone else, but he can grasp a degree well......

At this moment, Li Changmao saw the other side of Li Zicheng again, quite the style of a general, the characteristics of a marshal, Mount Tai collapsed on the top and his face did not change. Even if the official army is about to attack, you can calmly negotiate with everyone here.

At the same time, as soon as Li Zicheng's words ended, everyone looked at each other a little, and finally Tian Jianxiu stood up and said slowly and thoughtfully: "Boss, I think that with our current situation, it is not appropriate to confront the officials and troops head-on. ”

"Hmm... See Xiu, tell me what is your reason? Li Zicheng interjected at the right time to show his attitude and encourage and support the other party to continue.

"There are three reasons for this. First, although our Li family army has a strength of nearly 3,000 people, many of them are either patrolling various villages or stationed in some small towns. In one day, it is not possible to summon all of them, and it is already ideal to be able to mobilize 2,000 men. ”

"Second, with the maximum gathering of 2,000 troops, it is impossible for us to come out, at least 500 people must be left in Yuzhong City, guarding the gates of each city, and maintaining order in the city."

"Thirdly, the movement of materials and the relocation of people continues, and it is impossible to stop. The brothers in charge of this operation must not be removed, and as for the reasons, you all know. Time is running out, and it's getting more and more urgent. ”

Everyone nodded frequently when they heard this, and they agreed with Tian Jianxiu's analysis, and Li Guo even echoed and said, "Brother Tian is right, if you remove the soldiers who are responsible for the transfer operation and guard Yuzhong City, the maximum number that can be called up now is 1,500 troops, which is still ideal." Therefore, we can't fight hard with the officials and the army. Unless, we stop all other actions and go all out to resist the encirclement and suppression of the official army, the probability of victory will be more than half. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Zongdi immediately stood up and retorted: "No! If all actions are stopped now, the previous work will be in vain, and the meaning will be greatly reduced. Moreover, once there is a head-on confrontation, it is bound to greatly increase the casualty rate of soldiers. After all, the number of firearms in the officers and soldiers is far greater than ours, the ammunition is more sufficient, and the performance is better than ours. ”

At this time, I saw that Liu Fangliang's expression was a little strange, as if he was forcing himself to look at him. As if thinking of something, Yuan Zongdi suddenly added: "I am just talking about things, and I don't mean to grow the prestige of others to destroy my own ambition." If the boss decides to confront head-on and fight to the death with the official army, I, Yuan Zongdi, will definitely be the first to rush to the front, without blinking my eyes! ”

"Zongdi, don't get so excited, no one doubts your intentions." Li Zicheng waved his hand to appease and cast a warning look at Liu Fangliang. The latter was very stubborn, he didn't mean to admit his mistake, his neck was stalked, but he stubbornly said: "I'm just a big boss, and I don't have so many twists and turns in my stomach." The boss will fight as much as he says, and I will fight whoever I want! ”

Everyone else smiled wryly and shook their heads slightly, no one can take Liu Fangliang as well, he is this donkey's temper, and if there is anything uncomfortable or unhappy in his heart, it will immediately show on his face, and he will react slowly.

Li Zicheng also had no choice but to take Liu Fangliang like others, he could only smile bitterly, and threw away a warning look, not allowed to engage in infighting, not allowed to use the topic to play, and attack others. In an instant, he looked at Wu Ruyi again: "Ruyi, what do you think?" Any ideas? ”

Wu Ruyi was stunned at first, first nodded, shook his head again, and finally scratched his head: "Boss, I don't have any ideas for the time being." However, I think they are all right, now is not the time to directly declare war with the official army, it is better to come up with a plan to repel the official army at the lowest cost. ”

"Well, that's a good point." Li Zicheng approved, but he was speechless in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say: ", do you think Lao Tzu doesn't understand this truth?" As long as the officers and troops are repulsed, they can win at least five or six days, and at that time, the transfer operation is basically over. If you fight with the officers and soldiers again, even if you can't fight it, you can retreat without hesitation, which is like now. ”

For a while, the hall was quiet, there was a cold scene, the atmosphere was very solemn and depressing, Li Zicheng and the others were frowning, thinking about countermeasures, how to repel the officers and soldiers?

However, not everyone is like this, but Li Changmao is not nervous, as if he has something to say in his heart, and he looks hesitant. There was a sentence in his stomach, as if he was worried about something, out of the book's anger, worried that he would surprise everyone.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, the words in Li Changmao's heart were like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy, but finally couldn't help it. However, he still maintained the temperament of honor and disgrace that a scholar should have, and said cautiously: "Boss, I have some opinions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, a fluttering sentence immediately attracted the attention of several people. If it weren't for Li Changmao's speech, everyone wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person in the hall.

However, Li Zicheng was the first to come to his senses, his brows stretched, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Mr. Li, but it doesn't hurt to say it~!" Since I have invited you here, I want to hear your opinions and opinions. ”

Li Changmao was a little distracted, fleeting, he didn't expect Li Zicheng to be so polite, and he also used a respectful word like "you". For a while, no matter how calm Li Changmao was, his face was full of indifference, and he still had a feeling of flattering in his heart.

These thoughts flashed in his mind, but they only lasted for a moment, Li Changmao sorted out a trace of ups and downs, and then said slowly: "Boss, about the situation of the enemy and the current situation, the captains have already said it, I won't repeat it......"

"Is there any end to it? What is the grinding chirping? Is it funny to be crooked? There are things to say, there are farts, don't be so literate. Liu Fangliang was the first to show impatience and muttered.

Suddenly, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Li Changmao's face, and without waiting for Li Zicheng to appease him, he immediately went straight to the point and said directly: "That's the case." Liu Changsheng led the army to the expedition this time, since he brought out 5,000 soldiers and horses at once, according to the regulations of the Ming Court, as well as the garrison of Lintao Mansion, then I think that although the official army led by Liu Changsheng is strong, Lanzhou City is very weak, and there must be a gap in the defense, let's come to encircle Wei to save Zhao. As long as the strategy is properly planned, it should not be a problem to defeat the officers and soldiers. ”

One sentence woke up the person in the dream, as long as it was not a nervous person like Liu Fangliang, they all understood what Li Changmao meant, and guessed the looming method. However, these people couldn't think of it anyway, they just guessed Li Changmao's original meaning, but they didn't understand the deep-seated intention, Li Changmao's most fundamental purpose.
