On this day, in a thatched house in the Qu Wushan base area, Li Zicheng sat alone in front of the bookcase, and Ma Xin, Wu Ruyi and Yuan Zong stood in the distance, quietly waiting.
At this moment, Li Zicheng's face was calm, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and he was flipping through one newspaper after another, most of which were information sent from various base areas, and all of them were the movements of the Ming army in various parts of Shaanxi. As time passed, Li Zicheng's expression showed a hint of waves, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he muttered to himself.
"Hehe... It's really interesting, Shaanxi is really lively this year, and all the forces are making a fuss. Wang Zuogui rebelled and defected to Wang Jiayin, Hong Chengchou fell a big heel and made a big joke, as if he was slapped by life. ”
Hearing Li Zicheng say such a sentence inexplicably, although he felt sudden and strange, Ma Xinleng paused, and then echoed: "Yes, boss." In this way, Wang Zuogui came to such a hand, but instead fulfilled Zhang Cunmeng, temporarily withdrew from the object of Hong Chengchou's revenge, and transferred all the spearheads to Wang Jiayin. If there is no accident, in order to save face, Hong Chengchou will definitely take action. ”
As if inspired by Li Zicheng's words, Wu Ruyi also remembered something, and then said: "Yes, boss, this year is definitely a lively year in recent years, not only Wang Jiayin is unusually active in Yan'an Mansion, but also blatantly develops his sphere of influence, and his army has expanded to more than 20,000 people. Moreover, there was also a number one person named Zhang Xianzhong in Yan'an Mansion, and he also raised a rebel army, became the eight kings, supported Wang Jiayin as the main one, and controlled eighteen villages at once, which was enough for Yang He to have a headache this time. ”
"This Wang Jiayin is really not simple, and he is definitely the top existence among the many rebel armies. Not only did he have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but also those small and medium-sized rebel armies who were all taking their heads as the leaders of the alliance. Like Wang Ziyong, nicknamed Zijin Liang, Gao Yingxiang, who is known as King Chuang, and Luo Rucai, who is nicknamed Cao Cao, etc., are all his subordinates, which can be said to be star-studded, and there are quite a lot of generals. Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but answer, and what he said was tsk.
Hearing these words between Wu Ruyi and Yuan Zong's second person, Ma Xin couldn't help but show envy, and said with emotion: "Hey, then again, although we have many bases and a total population of tens of thousands, more than seven or eight out of ten are old and weak women and children, and the real strength is more than 10,000 people. ”
However, hearing so many words praising Wang Jiayin, introducing how his troops are and what advantages they have, Li Zicheng's reaction was very flat, without a hint of envy, but said lightly: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." ”
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned at the same time, and Ma Xin asked even more puzzled: "Boss, what does this mean?" ”
Li Zicheng did not answer immediately, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered secretly, others may not know, but he Li Zicheng knows, don't look at Wang Jiayin's fluttering power, infinite scenery, no one can take advantage of him for a while. However, such a carefree life did not last long, and within a month or two, a large number of Ming troops would pour into Shaanxi to encircle, suppress, and suppress the rebel armies from all walks of life.
At that time, he Wang Jiayin couldn't laugh.
Moreover, Li Zicheng vaguely remembered that in the more than two years after the retreat of the Houjin army, the top existence of the rebel armies from all walks of life, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, fell one after another, or were assassinated and killed by his subordinates, or died of illness in another country, and the rebel army began to decline.
Of course, he knew this, but Li Zicheng would not say it so blindly, feeling the puzzled eyes of the three people, and then explained: "The gun shot the first bird, do you understand?" ”
Li Zicheng paused, looked at some of the newspapers on the bookcase, took out a few of them, held them in his hands, shook them in front of the eyes of the three of them, and then continued: "You should also know that the imperial court has appointed a new governor of Shaanxi, and as soon as this governor Lian Guo arrived in office, his butt was not hot, so he sent several secret letters in a row, which were sent to Yang Lin, the general soldier of Guyuan, Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Lintao, Yang Jiamo, the chief soldier of Gansu, and Cao Wenzhao, the new deputy chief soldier of Yansui East Road. ”
"According to the intelligence feedback we have received from our reconnaissance in these bases, there have been signs of a large army moving recently wherever the secret letter goes, and the place that the soldiers are pointing to is the northeast region of Shaanxi, where Wang Jiayin and others are active."
"Who are these people? is either a veteran who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, or a rising rookie, all of whom are characters on the Megatron side. If they get together, hehe... But there is a good show to watch, this is really the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, and the three of them suddenly realized, and Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but wonder: "Boss, Cao Wenzhao joined the army under Yuan Chonghuan, and this time he entered Shaanxi, presumably the army led by him should be the Guanning Iron Cavalry." With so many Guanning iron cavalry drawn from the northeast, isn't Chongzhen, the emperor, afraid that Houjin will attack Shanhaiguan again? ”
Li Zicheng glanced at Yuan Zongdi, pursed his lips, and said with a little sarcasm: "Zongdi, you are really innocent and cute, you really think Chongzhen is a wise emperor?" has only been in power for three years, and is less than 20 years old, what can our emperor understand? That is, a fake handle, only know how to tear down the west wall and make up the east wall. However, the entry of heavy troops into Shaanxi is also inevitable, and there is not so much time to delay what has to be done. ”
"In the current Shaanxi, the rebel armies from all walks of life have become the climate, and if they are allowed to develop, within two years, the whole of Shaanxi will be out of the control of the imperial court. Not only that, but this momentum has a tendency to spread to the surrounding areas. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Henan, which is close to Shaanxi, how similar is the situation to Shaanxi? Disasters are frequent, natural disasters are continuous, and harsh taxes of various names emerge in an endless stream, and more and more will develop into the current situation of Shaanxi sooner or later. ”
The three of them nodded again and again, and they already understood in their hearts that the official army would make a big move, focusing on encircling and suppressing Wang Jiayin and dispelling the arrogance of the rebel army. At the same time, I admire it very much in my heart, the boss is really prescient, the development of Li Jiajun is in the dark, and the strength is accumulated in the deep mountains and old forests, which is difficult to be discovered.
Moreover, each base area has a claim to the outside world, whether it is a green forest hero who occupies the mountain, or a bandit who lives alone, and each has a different name to the outside world. If it weren't for the people at the top of the house, they would never have discovered the inner connections between the various base areas.
Scattered, their threat pales in comparison to the rebel armies from all stripes. The most crucial thing is that in the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor, the base areas have a certain basis of public opinion. Even if it is encircled and suppressed by the officials and soldiers, it can be faced calmly.
At this time, Yuan Zongdi seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Hey, by the way, boss, Gao Yingxiang is your uncle, and your sister-in-law is with him again, and it won't be long before the official army will encircle and suppress Wang Jiayin's department, should we remind them?" ”
Hearing this, Li Zicheng's mind couldn't help but have a delicate face as a flower, under the sassy and heroic posture, there is also the state of a little daughter, gentle and virtuous, and reasonable, quite heroic, can be called a strange woman. The kind of temperament on the body is fascinating. Of course, there is also Gao Yigong's brother-in-law, the brother-in-law who was very miserable by him.
For that uncle Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng had no impression at all. What's more, he is still a person who has crossed over, and he is even more indifferent to this kind of blood or kinship, and he has no sense of it. However, my wife and brother-in-law are in a dangerous place, and their lives are in danger at any time. Whether it is out of the love of husband and wife, or because of the grace of saving his life, Li Zicheng cannot ignore it.
For a while, Li Zicheng fell into deep thought, he was thinking of a way to achieve both. Reported to Wang Jiayin, not to mention whether the other party believed it or not, he Li Zicheng would never do it.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, although his tiger is very low-key and does not show the meaning of it, but it is impossible for Wang Jiayin to become bigger. Moreover, if we want to continue to secretly develop base areas and expand our strength in Shaanxi, we must squeeze out these rebel armies.
After all, Shaanxi belongs to the poor land in the northwest, and the resources are so small, it is impossible to raise so many troops.
Now is the best time, as long as the head is not sick, how can you do such a ventilating thing?
Therefore, Li Zicheng planned to use the hands of the official army to weaken the strength of the rebel armies from all walks of life, drive them out of Shaanxi, create a new chaotic area, and lay the foundation for his secret base to go out first.
Only turmoil and war are the soil for the development of the base areas.
After a while, as if he had figured out something, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, he looked straight at Yuan Zongdi, and suddenly said with a smile: "Hehe... Zongdi, sending you out on a secret mission is very dangerous, I don't know if you want to go? ”
Seeing Li Zicheng's expression, Yuan Zongdi was stunned at first, and instinctively thought that he was going to ventilate and report the news, so he immediately patted his chest and swore that "Boss, although you can rest assured that you will complete the task, I will definitely bring this news to Wang Jiayin." Even if he doesn't believe me, I'll tell Chief Gao and bring my sister-in-law back. ”
Li Zicheng shook his head, and his tone suddenly became low: "Zongdi, I didn't want you to carry out this mission, but I wanted you to join my uncle's command, secretly lurking in Wang Jiayin's department, observing their movements and internal situation. ”
"Uh... Boss, are you asking me to be a spy and break into the interior of other rebels? Why me? Yuan Zongdi couldn't react a little, he still couldn't believe his ears, and asked subconsciously, more like unwillingness.
"Zongdi, this is also something that can't be helped. You are the most low-key of all people, and few people know that you are my brother. In contrast, in terms of strategy, in terms of manpower, and in terms of dealing with people, on the whole, no one is more qualified for this task than you. ”
As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, Wu Ruyi and Ma Xin glanced at each other, as if they had figured out something, and they were afraid that it would harm them, so they said successively: "Yes, Zongdi, among the many brothers, you have the most calm and stable temperament, and you can get along with everyone." If you break into the interior of other rebel armies, even if you can't get mixed with the top ranks, you can get a lot of useful information. ”
"That's right, Zongdi, the boss and Ruyi are right, there are only a few trustworthy people who follow the boss. Others are either stationed in various base areas, or they have important tasks, such as me, and I am also in charge of the secret liaison point in Nanjing. Also, Xiang Fangliang, who is as arrogant as he is, is estimated to have been exposed as soon as he blended into the other rebel armies. ”
Yuan Zongdi has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, even if the boss is the boss, what can he say? However, these two brothers are too unrighteous, and they are completely in a posture of pushing everyone down, not only do they not help, but they make stumbling blocks and push themselves into the fire pit.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Hey... What did I, Yuan Zongdi, do, to make such two brothers?! ”
Although he was unwilling, but the fact was so, it couldn't change anything, Yuan Zongdi sorted out his emotions, glared at Wu Ruyi and Ma Xin fiercely, and then looked at Li Zicheng and agreed: "Okay, boss, I'll go." But, Boss, do you have any other arrangements? ”
Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Of course, if you can, you will try your best to protect the safety of your sister-in-law......
The words stopped abruptly, as if he had thought of something, Li Zicheng turned to say: "However, I can only protect it secretly." If possible, if the situation is not very critical, you should not reveal your identity to my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Keep in mind that your main mission is to secretly observe the various rebels and gather information about their interiors. ”
"Yes, Boss, I see." Although I don't know why Li Zicheng said this, Yuan Zongdi understands that the boss must have some kind of intention in arranging it like this, but it is inconvenient to find out now.
Seeing the disappointment on Yuan Zong's first face, he seemed to be unbearable, Li Zicheng suddenly smiled, and said with deep meaning: "Zongdi, don't be so discouraged, you won't be alone for long, it won't take two or three years, we will meet again." ”
"Really? Boss, are you telling the truth? In two or three years, will you let me come back? Yuan Zongdi's spirit was shocked, and he asked again and again excitedly.
"Uh... Zongdi, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood. As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, Yuan Zongdi showed disappointment again, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Li Zicheng.
"Zongdi, Li Jiajun can't always hide behind the scenes and develop secretly. In that case, our banner will be flown too slowly, which is not conducive to expanding the influence of the Li Jiajun. ”
"But, Boss, why don't you step behind the scenes and go to the front now?" Yuan Zongdi rekindled a glimmer of hope and interjected.
