Chapter 243: The conditions are ripe
Not long after, Li Zicheng left the county government and walked on the street, but he felt very uncomfortable. The content of the meeting just now and the consensus reached were completely beyond his expectations.
Li Zicheng never imagined that the leaders of the rebel armies from all walks of life would be so short-sighted and narrow-minded, and that they had just broken away from the encirclement of the official army and won such a small victory, and they were once again publicized, forgetting the stormy encirclement and suppression of the official army before.
Soon, Li Zicheng returned to his residence, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang and others immediately greeted him, and Li Guo couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, how are you talking?" When will we leave Pingyang Mansion and go to Huaiqing Mansion in Henan. ”
"Come on, don't talk about it, it's all tears if you talk too much." Li Zicheng said that for no reason, with a wry smile on his face, and then added: "Except for Wang Ziyong, Guo Tianxing, Eight King Kong, and Xing Hongwolf, the other leaders don't want to go to Henan, and they want to stay in Shanxi. ”
"A group of guys who don't know what to do, when they suffer a loss, they are chased and suppressed by the officials and soldiers and run around, like a lost dog, only to know that the boss has your intentions, all for their sake." Liu Fangliang snorted and said, his face full of resentment.
At this time, as if he had thought of something, Li Guo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly reminded with deep meaning: "Boss, since the rebel armies from all walks of life have different opinions, they are unwilling to go to Henan together. Then, presumably, in two days, the various chiefs will go their separate ways. That... Boss, take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the number of rebel armies around, should we send such a team of men and horses to Wangwu Mountain to explore the terrain and see if there is a suitable place to build a camp? ”
In an instant, Li Zicheng suddenly woke up like an initiation, and then remembered that he led the Li family army to return to Shanxi, not only to rescue Gao Yingxiang, but also to establish a new base in a certain place in Wangwu Mountain or Taihang Mountain.
After this reminder, Li Zicheng was silent, showing a deep groan, and he had already acquiesced to his nephew's proposal.
After all, there are already more than 10,000 Li Jiajun in his hands, and it's time to reduce.
Otherwise, the target will be too big and too obvious, and it will only become the object of encirclement and interception by the officials and troops. The most important thing is that, as my nephew said, the timing is just right, once the rebel armies leave and go to other places in Shanxi, there will be a certain vacuum in this area, and it is completely possible to establish a base area in secret.
Of course, there is another point, so far, Li Zicheng has a stable quasi-food source channel. If there are no accidents, there is no need to worry too much about food in the future. In this way, the conditions for establishing a base area in Wangwushan will be even more mature, and there is no need to worry about food.
With such a stable quasi-grain source channel, after the establishment of the new base area in Wangwushan, as long as the initial difficulties are overcome and there is a sufficient supply of grain, it will only take three or four months for the new base to operate stably on its own.
Then, with the Wangwushan base area as the center, it slowly developed to the surrounding areas, echoing with the various base areas in Shaanxi.
As soon as he thought of this, after the thoughts flashed in his mind, Li Zicheng immediately looked at Tian Jianxiu and instructed vaguely: "Captain Tian, according to what I told you before, first send such a group of people, according to the information provided by Mr. Xu on Wangwushan, to investigate and find a suitable place to set up a camp." ”
"Yes, boss, I'll arrange it."
Tian Jianxiu agreed, with a solemn look on his face, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Zicheng.
"Seeing Xiu, you must pay attention to the team sent out, they must be shrewd and capable people, and they must be cautious and cautious enough to avoid being discovered by others."
"Yes, boss, my subordinates understand." Tian Jianxiu nodded heavily, turned away, and looked at Gao Yigong dumbfounded, not knowing why.
"Sister.. Sister..."Gao Yigong blurted out these two words, and before his brother-in-law's husband could shout out, he immediately reacted, and in order to hide the embarrassment, he changed his words instead: "Boss, isn't it just to build a cottage in Wangwu Mountain?" Do we need to be so sneaky? Don't say that those leaders don't know, even if they tell them, will they dare to interfere? ”
Looking at Gao Yigong's innocent appearance, he said disappreciably and indifferently, Li Zicheng only felt funny, and didn't wait for others to explain the reason, but said vaguely: "Yigong, what you said is right, even if those leaders know, they don't dare to interfere with anything." With the strength of the Li Jiajun today, no matter which rebel army it is, it does not dare to point fingers easily. However, I don't want them to know anything yet, let alone let the court know that we have such a nest in Wangwu Mountain. So, one thing, it's better to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, don't blame my brother-in-law for being rude, and use one-finger Zen again......"
As soon as the words fell, Li Zicheng smiled wickedly, raised his right hand, and pointed his middle finger to the sky, with deep intentions.
Gao Yigong's face froze, especially when he saw Li Zicheng's erected middle finger, pointing to the sky and poking it, he suddenly felt cool in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he only felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and he hurriedly retreated, and stammered and replied: "Old... Top dog... I... I know... I... I won't talk to anyone about it, and I'm sure I'll keep my mouth shut. ”
Not only Gao Yigong's physical reaction is like this, but Liu Fangliang on the side is also too familiar with Li Zicheng's gesture, and at the same time, the chrysanthemum is also tight, and the whole person is in a mess.
For a while, Liu Fangliang looked at Gao Yigong, and felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.
At this time, Li Zicheng ignored his brother-in-law Gao Ligong, looked at Li Guo again, and explained: "Li Guo, although we are about to leave Shanxi, don't forget to pay attention to the situation in various parts of Shanxi and pay close attention to the movements of officials and troops from all walks of life. ”
"Well, boss, I know this, our intelligence officers have not taken it back, and they are still listening to and monitoring the movements of officials and troops in various parts of Shanxi."
Hearing Li Guo's reply, Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, and his heart was a little relieved.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng looked at Liu Fangliang and He Zhen, and then explained: "Captain Liu, Captain He, in the past month or so, our Li family army has almost tripled. Therefore, you two and the other captains should pay close attention, and there must be no slackness in the slightest, and for those new recruits, not only should strengthen their military training, but also the military discipline of our Li Jiajun. ”
"Yes, Boss."
......
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Beijing, in the imperial city, in the imperial study of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, was reporting the military situation to Emperor Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, Liaozhou has been recovered. Moreover, although Li Zicheng and other rebel troops were not all wiped out, they were also driven back to the area of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi. According to the report of the governor of Shanxi, Lord Xu, Cao Wenzhao led the army to be stationed in Pingding to defend the eastern part of Taiyuan Province to ensure that no more rebellious troops would enter Jinan from Taiyuan Province and Liaozhou; Zhang Yingchang's general army was stationed in Fenzhou to defend the western part of Taiyuan Province and prevent the rebellious army from escaping back to Shaanxi from Hequ......"
With Zhang Fengyi's narration, Chongzhen's mind came up with a plan to encircle and suppress the rebellious army in Shanxi, and the governor of Shanxi, Xu Dingchen, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, marched together to push all the way south from Taiyuan Mansion to eliminate the rebellious army they encountered, so as to drive all the rebellious army to the north bank of the Yellow River and wipe it out in one fell swoop!
Yuan Daquan, an officer in the middle of the river, led the sailors to cruise on the banks of the Yellow River, completely blocking the way for the rebels to flee south.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's tense nerves relaxed a little, his heart widened, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
