A few days later, in Jiaozuo, Henan, Li Jiajun broke into here all the way unimpeded, with almost no resistance and obstacles, as soon as he thought of this, Liu Fangliang couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and said loudly to Li Zicheng: "Haha... Boss, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers of Tianjing Pass to be so hasty? Seeing that we shuttled from Hengwangling and attacked Dakou, these turtle grandsons actually turned a deaf ear, and let us take Dakou and enter Henan, I didn't expect the operation to be so smooth? ”

At this time, Xu Xiake, who was in charge of logistics and supplies, did not have the slightest excitement, his expression was solemn, and when everyone was happy, he turned to say: "Boss, there is one thing that my subordinates have to say. ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng's expression tightened, his eyebrows raised, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked at the right time: "Oh... Mr. Xu, what's the matter? If you have something to say, you don't know me? ”

It seems that he already knew that Li Zicheng would say this, and as soon as the words fell, Xu Xiake replied: "Boss, it's like this." Since we joined forces with the king and captured several cities in a row, the number of troops has skyrocketed by several thousand. So far, the Li family army has nearly 15,000 people, and the military supply has skyrocketed, and the consumption is extremely high. Therefore, with the military rations we carry, it is only enough for the army to last another ten days. If we don't fill the grain and grass again, there will be turmoil in the morale of the army, and we will run out of cooking. ”

Xu Xiake's words seemed to pour a basin of cold water on everyone's faces, and then there was a solemn and worried look on his face, and the atmosphere was stagnant, and he became a little strange.

Li Zicheng didn't speak, looking around, looking thoughtful. After a while, he asked softly: "Mr. Xu, with your understanding of Henan, is there a desirable city in this area of Huaiqing Mansion to supplement our military rations?" ”

Xu Xiake thought for a while, the information of Huaiqing Mansion appeared in his mind, and after secretly organizing the language in his heart, he replied: "Boss, as far as my subordinates know, there are two desirable places nearby, namely Huaiqing City and Xiuwu City. Although Henan has been in drought for many years, there are some places where there is no harvest. However, Huaiqing City is a place where the powerful are concentrated, there are many private warehouses, and the grain reserves are extremely rich. As for Xiuwu County, it has been a grain production area since ancient times. Even in a year of great drought, whether it is an official warehouse or a private warehouse, there is a lot of grain storage. ”

Xu Xiake thought for a while, and further added: "However, boss, Xiuwu County is not only a rich grain producing area, but also a place of martial arts. Like Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, Ji Kang and Ruan Ji of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Xiang Xiu Ruan Xian, and Han Yu are all from Xiuwu. ”

"Therefore, if you want to attack Xiuwu City, it will be more difficult than Huaiqing City. Moreover, once we attack one of the two cities, the movement will be extremely great, and the imperial court will not be able to sit idly by, and it will be even more difficult for us to cross the Yellow River in the south. After all, the squires of Henan had great influence and had very close relations in the imperial court. ”

Li Zicheng nodded again and again when he heard this, he looked deeply approving, touched his chin, Gu Wulan's expression became extremely firm, and although the next words were plain, they seemed extremely resolute, and no one could shake his determination.

"Hmm... Captain Tian, immediately send an order down, let the brother get ready, have a good rest, and after a few days, immediately go to Xiuwu County. On September 14, they attacked Xiuwu City. ”

Xu Xiake was taken aback, and the others were even more surprised, they didn't expect Li Zicheng to choose to attack Xiuwu City? With the temperament of the boss, he has always been easy first and then difficult, trying to reduce casualties as much as possible, but now he has chosen the most difficult one!

Without waiting for everyone to ask, at this time, the corners of Li Zicheng's mouth suddenly rose slightly, revealing a wicked smile, and turned to look at Wu Ruyi, Dang Shousu, and Liu Tichun, and ordered: "Immediately scatter all our scouts, and keep a close eye on the movements of the entire Huaiqing Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!

Tian Jianxiu and Wu Ruyi responded at the same time, and the four "yes" words sounded almost at the same time, and Gao Yigong's voice of emotion followed.

"Hey... If Li Guo is here, it will be good, there is no need to send so many scouts to find out the news. By the way, boss, when will Captain Li come back? Counting the days, Captain Li sent his sister incognito and raised the fetus with peace of mind, and it has been almost more than two months, so it's time to come back, right? ”

Li Zicheng immediately came to his senses, showed a look of emotion, looked at the sky, and did not answer Gao Yigong's words, but said to himself: "It should be soon......"

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the base area of Zhongnan Mountain in Shaanxi, a house is full of all kinds of herbs, as well as all kinds of bronze figures, and the surface is engraved with the veins and acupuncture points of the human body.

At this time, two men held a book together, an old and a young, standing in front of a bronze man, pointing at the meridians and acupuncture points on the surface of the bronze man, discussing enthusiastically, looking very serious and engrossed.

Gao Guiying stood aside, her abdomen slightly bulging, listening attentively to the discussion between the two, interjecting from time to time, and asking even more respectfully: "Old Yang, Mr. Jin, after the completion of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion", can you give the little girl a copy?" ”

At this time, without waiting for the old man to answer, Li Guo suddenly walked in from outside, and as soon as he saw Gao Guiying standing there, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Auntie, hurry up and take a rest." These days, you often stand for an hour or two, and you are pregnant and can't get tired. If you let your uncle know, your nephew won't be punished? ”

However, Gao Guiying smiled kindly and said softly: "Guo'er, Mr. Yang is a famous acupuncture master, and Mr. Jin is also a famous miracle doctor. With the two of them here, how could something happen to the aunt? Moreover, Mr. Yang Shiji was born in a medical family, and his father was a doctor in the hospital, so it was rare to have such an opportunity to ask for advice, how could he miss it? ”

Li Guo was a little speechless, shook his head bitterly, and helplessly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, auntie, my nephew knows, in addition to martial arts, you like medicine the most." It's okay to study medicine with Mr. Yang and Mr. Jin, just to pass the time. ”

At this time, Yang Shiji and Jin Xian stopped studying the bronze man, and looked over at the same time, always with a smile on their faces, and the latter even answered: "Captain Li, although you can rest assured, according to medical governance, according to the meridians and qi and blood operation mode of the human body, people who are pregnant and often walk, it is conducive to the operation of qi and blood, whether it is for the body or the fetus, it is all beneficial and harmless." ”

When Li Guo said this, Li Guo was relieved, breathed a long sigh of relief, then smiled in return, nodded lightly, and changed his words: "By the way, auntie, you are now stable, and many life problems have been solved." At this time, the nephew should also leave here and go to Henan to join his uncle. ”

Gao Guiying's expression tightened, and then said, "Well, go ahead, you can go." Don't worry, Mr. Song Yingxing and Mr. Song have arranged it very thoroughly, there is everything, food, clothing, housing and transportation, I don't have to worry about it. By the way, tell your uncle, don't worry about me, I'm fine here. ”

"yes, okay."

Li Guo agreed, and then turned away.
