With Li Zicheng's narration, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and Wu Ruyi began to have such a picture in their minds, constantly making up for their brains, starting from various base areas in the south in the entire Shaanxi, and constantly developing new base areas in the north; In the north, Quwu Mountain is the center, and new bases are developed one after another in all directions.

The two echo each other from afar, so that the north and the south cooperate with each other, develop new base areas in each other's directions, establish secret spheres of influence in various parts of Shaanxi, and then cover the entire territory of Shaanxi. Once the time is ripe, the whole of Shaanxi will be covered with secret base areas, which will be divided into a grid shape, relying on the deep mountains and old forests to block the officials and troops and plunder their supplies and strategic materials.

If it continues to develop like this, even if it is not explicitly stated, in fact, the whole of Shaanxi is the world of the boss and belongs to the sphere of influence of Li Jiajun.

You might as well imagine that by that time, there will be secret bases of the Li Jiajun everywhere in the deep mountains and old forests of Shaanxi, and although there are not millions of people in all kinds of troops, there should still be 300,000 or 400,000 people.

Once the opponent is encountered, one point is attacked, the other base areas respond quickly, secretly support, each base area cooperates with each other, encircled the point, sends reinforcements, and destroys sabotage, even if Chongzhen sends a million heroes into Shaanxi and encircles and suppresses strongly, it is equivalent to a mud cow entering the sea.

After all, as long as you don't confront you, no matter how many people and how many troops you have, you will have nothing to do with the Li family army hidden in the deep mountains and old forests!

It is not difficult to understand that no matter how powerful and rebellious the opponent is, perhaps one or two militias in the base area and the Li family army will not be able to confront each other head-on. However, you always have to eat and drink, and the reinforcements from other base areas will either cut off the supply lines, or sneak attacks like wheel warfare, or attack and harass the surrounding counties, day and night, to see how you still encircle and suppress the base areas?

What's more, each base area is like an independent ecosystem, completely self-sufficient, and it is no problem to stick to two or three. Even if the army presses the border and surrounds the mountains, it is useless. The longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the base area and to the Li family's army.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get excited, as if they saw that day, the officers and soldiers were defeated. As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, nothing more. As long as it can blossom all over Shaanxi and establish a large number of secret bases, Li Jiajun will be invincible, and at that time it will really have the capital and qualifications to compete for the world.

These thoughts flash through my mind, but I just think about it. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for everyone to continue, Li Zicheng changed his words, and said in a low and solemn voice: "In this operation, although we have more than 3,000 people, we can't underestimate the enemy at all. There is not only a Xi'an Prefecture battalion between Qianyanchi Fort and Hairadubao, but also the eight battalions, Zhengqi battalion, three battalions, and the first battalion of the official army in the east of Hairadulbao, from north to south. Once there is a stir on the side of the salt field and a signal for help is issued, our actions are likely to fall short. ”

Hearing this, the originally pleasant atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Liu Fangliang asked nervously: "Then boss, what should we do?" Together, these officers and soldiers have 10,000 people, and they are still border soldiers who belong to the nine sides to defend against foreign enemies, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to those city defense battalions. ”

"Yes, Boss, it's a small thing to fail. If the salt storage of these two salt farms is not available, it will affect the establishment of new base areas in the future. The heavy look on Yuan Zong's first face echoed a sentence.

For a while, no one spoke anymore, and they all fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere became a little heavy. Half an hour later, there was still no good countermeasure, but Li Zicheng waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't think about these things first, how to take down the salt fields in two places." Now, when we first arrived, we had just entered Quwu Mountain, and the most important thing was to clear a vacant land and build a house. ”

Li Zicheng paused, turned his head to look at Li Jiajun, who was sleeping in the open air, and was about to continue to say something, when Liu Fangliang's loud voice suddenly remembered: "Boss, there is no need to be in such a hurry to build a house." Shaanxi was originally dry and rainless, and now it is summer, even if there is no house, the brothers will not freeze. ”

"Yes, boss, the matter of building a house can be postponed, not in a hurry, the most important thing now is to take the salt storage in the two places of Dry Salt Pond Fort and Hairadhu Fort. Once delayed for a long time, our whereabouts will be exposed, and the officers and soldiers will be easily alert, and it will be even more difficult for us to take down two more salt farms. Wu Ruyi echoed and persuaded him.

Hearing the words of the two, Li Zicheng couldn't cry or laugh, rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly: "Hey, I said, you guys are really self-inflicted." Do you think that clearing a vacant lot and building a house is for you to live in? Don't stink...! ”

"Isn't it?" Liu Fangliang instinctively answered.

"Think beautifully, let's dream of spring and autumn...!" Li Zicheng sighed lightly, and then explained: "Although Shaanxi is dry and rainless, it does not mean that there is no rain. Moreover, the deep mountains and old forests are dewy and very humid. Whether or not the salt is available, we must prepare a place to store it beforehand. Once there is a sudden torrential rain, or under the long-term wetting of dew, the salt will be reduced and become lumps of lumps, so that it can also be saved in case of chaos, and the time to save will be in a hurry, and regret it will be regretted. ”

"Oh... I see! The three of them spoke in unison, and their voices were elongated, revealing a sudden look.

A few days later, in the southeast of Qianyanchi Fort, behind a mound five miles away, Wu Ruyi and Liu Fangliang hid in the grass more than a meter high, and the "squeaky" birdsong made people feel annoyed. The scorching sun was scorching, even though they were sweating and soaking their clothes, Wu Ruyi and Liu Fangliang and the more than 2,000 Li Jiajun behind the two of them were still motionless and lying there.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement around, Liu Fangliang was a little impatient, maintained a wait-and-see posture, and asked in a low voice: "Ruyi, didn't the boss ask us to attack Qianyanchi Fort at noon, why did you bring the brothers here?" ”

"Fang Liang, you should know that although there are more than 2,000 of us, we can easily take the Dry Salt Pond Fort. However, if it is attacked, it will also lose a lot of brothers. Moreover, the boss also specially ordered that once the officers and soldiers of the Xi'an Prefecture battalion came to help, it was best for us to wipe them out, obtain their uniforms, and keep their clothes intact as much as possible. It seems that in order to pass the time, contrary to Liu Fangliang's expectations, Wu Ruyi really answered his casual question.

"Uh... What does this have to do with us hiding here? ”

Wu Ruyi did not answer happily this time, but glanced at Liu Fangliang, and then said: "Before the operation, I sent someone to inquire that there will be a caravan from Guzhou this morning to go to Qianyanchibao to buy salt..."

"Oh... I see, Thou Yi! Liu Fangliang suddenly realized, and further said: "Let's ambush here, and when the caravan passes by, we will rob it." Then, disguised as them, they blended into the Dry Salt Pond Fort. Although the caravan is large in number, it is enough to take one of the gates after camouflage. ”

"As long as the brothers disguised as caravans act and fight with the officers and soldiers of the city gates, they will seize control of the city gates. Taking advantage of the chaos, the brothers who were lying in ambush outside the city attacked, and it only took a charge to reach the city gate in a few moments. ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Wu Ruyi nodded, replied, and then stopped speaking, and his gaze shifted to the south direction again.
