Two days later, dozens of simple thatched huts were built in the secret base of Panzuka Mountain, and a team of Li Jiajun was either patrolling or setting up traps to prepare for the captivity of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and everything was being built in a simple and standard village.

The base area was basically completed, and Li Zicheng began to plan the next action. After summoning the captains, Li Zicheng looked at Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Wu Ruyi and others, and then said: "The construction of the base area is almost complete, and the next thing is to add Ding to the base area and make up for the necessities of life." ”

Everyone nodded unanimously, with several experiences in the construction of the base, they all roughly know what kind of arrangements the boss will have?

"Liu Fangliang, you are in charge of the southern area and clear out the landlords who are rich and unkind; Yuan Zongdi, you are in charge of the northern area; Wu Ruyi, you are in charge of the east; As for the west side, Ma Xin, you are in charge. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng suddenly paused, and without waiting for everyone to respond, he immediately advised: "You must remember that we are robbing the rich and helping the poor, and we must not harass the people." If people don't want to go with you, don't force it. Also, Zhang Cunmeng is in this area, and by the way, I will inquire about the news of this rebel army. ”

"Yes, Boss!"

Everyone replied in unison, but Liu Fangliang was excited, and asked excitedly: "Boss, you let us inquire about the news of the mud, do you want to do something to them and incorporate this rebel army?" ”

Li Zicheng's head was full of black lines, very speechless, Liu Fangliang was too belligerent, he couldn't live at all, as soon as he asked him to inquire about the news, he simply and rudely thought that there was a war to fight, and he couldn't help but be amused: "Hey, I said Liu's head, are you feverish, your head is burning?" Even if it is to attack Qinzhou City, it is also the officers and soldiers in the city who are recruited, and no matter what, it is impossible to fight without mud. ”

"Why not?" Liu Fangliang stiffened his neck and blurted out.

"What's the need to say? Liu's big head, the meaning of the boss is very obvious, we belong to the rebel army with the mud, and we can't annex each other. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get along with other rebel armies and be suspicious of other rebel leaders. Yuan Zongdi replied.

Li Zicheng nodded in agreement and further said: "If nothing else, after two or three months, the main force of the Ming army will return to Shaanxi to encircle and suppress the rebel armies from all walks of life. Neither we nor any of the other rebel forces could confront the officers and soldiers head-on. Even if the rebel armies of all walks of life were combined, it would be difficult to compete with the official army. ”

"Therefore, at this time, as long as the leader has a little vision, he will not dare to easily annex other rebel forces, and will deliberately make friends. When facing the encirclement and suppression of the official army, they can also take a hand, have a place to ask for help, and tide over the difficulties together. Once a move is made to annex other rebel forces, no matter how reasonable it is, no matter how small the rebel army is, it will be difficult to integrate and get along with other rebel forces. ”

Liu Fangliang had a hint of understanding, but he was more puzzled: "But, boss, the total strength of the rebel army in the entire Shaanxi is only twenty or thirty thousand people. However, there are five or six thousand of our Li Jiajun alone. If you want to recruit those young and middle-aged people in the base area, it will not be difficult to recruit 10,000 people, so why do you have to be in the company of other rebel armies? ”

Xu Xiake, who was sitting on the side, shook his head when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder Liu Fangliang can only be a tiger general who charges into battle, but he can't command a team of 1,000 people, which is also too lacking in strategic vision, his vision is only limited to his own one-third of an acre, too blind and arrogant, he doesn't know how to judge the situation, and he won't use the momentum of others to enhance his own strength." ”

At this time, Wu Ruyi was unwilling to be lonely and interjected: "Fang Liang, have you forgotten the boss's plan?" Our Li Jiajun is determined to be in the world, not just Shaanxi. If you want to plan for a great river, you must not only be good at fighting, but also accumulate strength. If we do what you say, it will be tantamount to exposing all our strength to the surface and exposing it to the eyes of the officers and soldiers. When the time comes, we will inevitably become the key targets of encirclement and suppression by the officials and the army. ”

"In the face of several times our own troops, even if we can win a temporary victory, our family foundation will be exhausted, what will we do to fight for the world when the time comes? If he just blindly worked brutally, just conquered the city, opened warehouses to release grain, and gave relief to the people, the boss would not have worked hard to establish so many secret bases. ”

As if he had been hit the head, Liu Fangliang understood the truth no matter how hard he died, and he still had doubts in his heart, and looked at Li Zicheng: "Then boss, why did you let the brothers inquire about the news of the rebel army that is not muddy......

At this moment, Liu Fangliang's questioning came to an abrupt end, and there was a hint of realization in his heart, and he suddenly thought of Wang Zuogui, the leader of the rebel army who had been recruited by the official army. I think that at the beginning, Wang Zuogui, Miao Mei and others attacked Hancheng, although Li Jiajun also joined, but in fact, a golden cicada came out of its shell, so that those unlucky children blocked the chasing soldiers, and Li Jiajun was able to breathe and get rid of Yang He's several armies.

Thinking of this, Liu Fangliang couldn't help but look at Liu Fangliang, and muttered in his heart, does the boss want to repeat the old plan and let Zhang Cun Meng top the thunder?

At this time, Li Zicheng's voice sounded, and he did not continue to dwell on the topic just now. To a certain extent, it also verified Liu Fangliang's guess.

"You'll find out sooner or later, so I might as well tell you in advance. The reason why I found out the whereabouts of the rebel army that did not touch Zhang Cunmeng was because I wanted to take this opportunity to take Qinzhou City. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were all happy, and then they all showed a worried look, and Xu Xiake reminded and said: "Boss, we all understand your plan, since ancient times, Qinzhou is not only the ancient tea horse road, but also one of the four major salt pools in Shaanxi. As long as Qinzhou is taken, within the next year or two, each base area will be completely self-sufficient, and there will be no shortage of salt to eat. ”

"However, such an important city must be the object of heavy guards by the official army. Even if we unite the non-muddy team and capture Qinzhou City. However, with our little people, we won't be able to share much salt, war horse tea, and the treasury silver and grain in the treasury at that time, isn't it equivalent to making a wedding dress for Zhang Cunmeng? ”

"Yes, boss, if you think about it again, why don't we wait." Others chimed in and persuaded Li Zicheng.

However, Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said with deep meaning: "What you said is good. The reason why I attacked Qinzhou was because I took a fancy to the large amount of salt stored in the city. If it can be obtained, it will no longer be a problem to use salt for domestic use in several base areas. However, I have another purpose, which is no less important than the thousands of loads of salt in Qinzhou City. ”

Immediately, Li Zicheng's words attracted everyone's attention and aroused their curiosity.

"You should be well aware that in the past few months, we have done a lot of big things. No matter how secret it is, there will be a day when it will be exposed, and the court will definitely know that we did it. Moreover, the prestige of our Li Jiajun among the people is growing, and it is gradually surpassing that of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, do you think Emperor Chongzhen will let it go and let us develop and grow? Can tolerate the existence of an anti-thief who is better than the prestige of the imperial court? There are also Yang He, the governor of the three sides, Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, and Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, will these people let us go? ”

Immediately, everyone frowned, but Liu Fangliang only lasted for a moment, and then said loudly: "Boss, I understand, you want Zhang Cunmeng to top the cylinder, let those big people record the accounts on Zhang Cunmeng's body, our Li Jiajun will take the opportunity to get out, the key is to do bad things under the banner of others, strengthen ourselves, it doesn't matter whether we can get the property of Qinzhou City, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what it is~!" Li Zicheng's smile was even stronger, and then he added: "After capturing Qinzhou City, although the wealth obtained will be very small, we can win the hearts of the people and expand our troops, and it is not for nothing." ”

As soon as the words fell, a new question came, how to let the imperial court shift the spearhead to Zhang Cunmeng's head, there must be a reasonable reason. Otherwise, it would be a loss of rice to steal chickens, and many brothers will be lost, but Zhang Cunmeng will be achieved.

"Boss, if it's just a cooperation to attack Qinzhou City, the official army shouldn't turn the spearhead to Zhang Cunmeng, right?" Xu Xiake asked everyone's thoughts, the same doubts.

"Isn't that easy? After finding Zhang Cunmeng, I will lead three hundred brothers to join his team, and then attack Qinzhou City, making the momentum as big as possible, so that the whole of Shaanxi will know that I, Li Zicheng, defected to Zhang Cunmeng. Li Zicheng said with a nonchalant face.

Yes, there is an unlucky ghost who comes into being and is remembered by the boss!

While everyone thought like this, they immediately stood up, turned around and left, carried out Li Zicheng's order, and secretly mourned for Zhang Cunmeng in their hearts.
