At the same time, Li Zicheng thought of more, although he was so cynical before the crossing, he was simply a little hooligan, but he also completed nine years of compulsory education and mixed with a high school degree, and he still knew more or less that not only was the map rough at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but also in the late Qing Dynasty, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, the map of the Tartars was not as detailed as that of the foreigners.

In this way, it is possible to win unless the soldier is super combative. However, this is contrary to the way of the Han people!

After all, in ancient warfare, it was not only about arranging troops and cooperating with each other, but also about the art of war, the flexible and flexible art of war, combined with the wonder of the topography of mountains and rivers, and using the power of nature as much as possible to destroy the enemy, rather than blindly brute force and fighting on the opposite side.

Just like the time of the Three Kingdoms, although the world was chaotic and there were constant wars, in comparison, the population did not decrease much, and in a period of time, there was an increase, that is, the perfect combination of the art of war and strategy.

Take advantage of the time and terrain to attack each other.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng became more determined to draw the map, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, Gu Rouqian, the matter of drawing the map will be handed over to you, even if you do it, I will definitely give my full support, and other base areas will also fully cooperate." ”

Hearing this promise, Gu Rouqian may just be relieved, and finally get what he wants, but Xu Xiake is different, with the proposal of a new method of drawing maps, a large number of professionals are urgently needed, and there are especially many people in the Shaanxi base area.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Xu Xiake has been in contact with those foreigners, as well as those Western books, and is particularly interested in books on measurement and surveying and mapping, which are of great benefit to drawing maps, and there are many places to learn from and refer to.

Xu Xiake believes that as long as he has the help of those people and masters the methods of drawing and measuring, the new map drawn is absolutely accurate, although it is not the slightest mistake, and the error can also stay between the rulers.

Moreover, it will save manpower, material and financial resources more, and the efficiency will also be greatly improved.

"Boss, before drawing an accurate map, I want Gu Rouqian to go to the Zhongnanshan base and stay for a while, not only to select people, but also to learn some Western skills to prepare for the upcoming map."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, you can arrange it." Li Zicheng agreed, and then said: "It just so happens that a lot of good things have been researched in the Shaanxi base area, and maybe some equipment will be of great help to your map." ”

After the two finished speaking, Li Xin showed hesitation, and finally blurted out in a deep voice: "Boss, there is something I have to say, you should know." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall obviously changed, and it became a little weird, even Xu Xiake's expression was unnatural, and he hesitated, obviously, many people here knew what Li Xin wanted to say.

"Li Xin, even if you have something to say, there is no need to be so prospering and hesitant." Li Zicheng sensitively caught the change in everyone's expressions and said urgingly.

"Boss, that's the case, due to our early efforts, Li Jiajun has a great reputation in Henan and has been recognized by many people. However, since the separation of the two roads with your soldiers, King Chuang has not only conquered the city in Henan, but also recruited troops and horses, and so far, under conservative estimates, the strength of the high leader has skyrocketed to at least 200,000 people. Moreover, the high leader has not stopped yet, and it is still continuing. ”

However, Li Zicheng smiled, his expression was so relaxed.

"So that's it, I already know about it."

Seeing that everyone wanted to speak and stopped, as if he saw what they were thinking, Li Zicheng then said: "I know what you are worried about, worrying that the high leader will pretend to be in our name and ruin the reputation of the Li family. But isn't it a good thing to look at it from another perspective? ”

"A good thing?"

I don't know who muttered this, Li Zicheng didn't care, and continued to say to himself: "In the past year, the development of the Li family army has been too rapid, the limelight is too great, and it has become the target of the imperial court's key encirclement and suppression. In particular, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, the two generals, died one after another at the hands of Li Jiajun, which had already provoked the anger of the imperial court to the brink of rage. ”

Listening to these words, everyone couldn't help but think of a lot, Gao Yingxiang's upcoming encounter would be set on fire, facing Lu Xiangsheng's crazy pursuit and encirclement, but Li Jiajun could watch from the wall and watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts suddenly felt a lot happier, but Xu Xiake and Li Xin thought of a deeper level, it seems that the boss has broken with King Chuang, even if it is good on the surface, but it is also a good look.

Otherwise, the boss would not have said it so easily, listening to the meaning of this, it seemed that he did not remind Gao Yingxiang that he would be attacked by Lu Xiangsheng.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiake said again: "Boss, although Lu Xiang has been promoted to the governor of the five provinces, and he has the help of Ning Tieqi, his actions will not be much smoother, and it is difficult to cause too much harm to the high leader. ”

"Oh... How do you say that? Li Zicheng asked curiously.

"Boss, it's like this, in the past nearly a year, the imperial court's granary in Henan has been almost destroyed, and most of it was done by our Li Jiajun. Moreover, at the time of the autumn harvest, his subordinates sent many squads of hundreds of people to dozens of people, disguised as thieves or other rebel troops, to wander around Henan. ”

"I see, if this is the case, Lu Xiangsheng will face the same dilemma as Hong Chengchou, there will be a great shortage of food and grass supplies, and he will face the possibility of mutiny among soldiers at any time." Li Zicheng showed a sudden look and gently tapped his forehead.

"Hmm... The same can be said. Xu Xiake agreed, and then added: "However, there are still some differences between them, Lu Xiangsheng can mobilize grain and grass from Shandong and Jiangbei nearby, and the shortage of grain will not be too long, as long as the initial period of time is over, the situation will improve." ”

"Moreover, boss, Lu Xiangsheng is different from Hong Chengchou, he governs the army very strictly, he has always been a pioneer, impartial, and plays an exemplary role, if the soldier has no food to eat, he will definitely be hungry. Therefore, the possibility of a mutiny among his soldiers is very small. ”

After saying these words, Xu Xiake showed admiration, Li Zicheng nodded lightly, and said approvingly: "No wonder, among many officers and soldiers, no wonder Lu Xiangsheng's troops are so strong, relatively speaking, soldiers should feel more fair, there is a commander who practices himself, and the soldier's combat effectiveness will naturally go up, it seems that my uncle is going to suffer a big loss." ”

However, seeing that Li Zicheng said so solemnly and his expression was so solemn, everyone in the hall showed a strange look, no matter how they sounded, it seemed like they were gloating and mourning for King Chuang.

At this time, Li Zicheng set his eyes on the southeast direction, and said abruptly: "It seems that there is nothing to do in Henan, and the target should be placed in Jiangbei, north of the Yangtze River in the south and Zhili." ”

Hearing Li Zicheng's muttering words, some people immediately reacted, and slandered in their hearts, the boss is really ruthless enough, directly cutting off Lu Xiangsheng's biggest channel for pumping grain and grass, and raising grain and grass from Shandong, which is simply a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to supply so many officers and soldiers in Henan.

However, everyone is relieved when they think about it, there are so many base areas in Henan, Li Jiajun is distributed all over the place, why should the boss make such a move, attacking the city in Henan, it is too boring.

What's more, there were nearly one million rebel troops from Shaanxi all at once, and there was no need to stay in Henan.
