Chapter Seventy-Seven: Entering the Licorice Shop
Two days later, on the banks of the Qingshui River, in a dense forest next to the licorice shop, under the scorching sun, birds hovered in the air, and a whispering sound sounded in the grass.
"Boss, this is the licorice shop, which has always been a place where businessmen gather. Because it is close to the tea and horse shop in Anding County, and the water and grass are fertile near the licorice shop, it has become a place for the imperial court to graze horses. However, since the corruption of the imperial court, it has gradually declined, and the pasture has been seized by King Su and turned into a private horse farm. ”
"Oh... Ma Xin, according to your estimates, how many war horses will be in it? Is it enough to equip all the brothers in our troops? ”
At this time, Ma Xin's head emerged from the dense grass, under the scorching sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked into the distance, thought for a moment, and then said: "Boss, you also know that even during the Hongwu and Yongle periods, when the trade of tea for horses was carried out between Guannai and Manmeng, there were only three or four thousand horses at most every year. Now that it has been abandoned for so long, there are so many traders who smuggle tea and silk, and this is just a licorice shop, and there won't be many horses, five or six hundred is good. ”
Li Zicheng's head also stretched out from the grass, showing a little disappointment on his face, and just about to say something, Ma Xin changed the topic: "However, boss, this Su Wang Zhu Zhihong is very greedy for money, not only smuggling tea and salt, but also a horse lover, in my estimation, there must be hundreds of horses in this horse farm." Moreover, all of them have to be good war horses! ”
Suddenly, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up and asked, "Has the brother who entered the city come back?" If there are really not many garrisons in the licorice shop, let's do a fucking vote, not only the war horses, but also the money and food! ”
Before Ma Xin could answer, he saw a man riding a horse rushing towards him, heading straight for the direction of the two, and Ma Xin said in surprise: "Boss, someone has returned, and it is one of the brothers who went to inquire about the situation. ”
Not long after, the figure of the man disappeared in the woods, appeared on Li Zicheng's side, and said breathlessly: "Boss, the situation in the city has been figured out, except for the fifty soldiers of King Su, the defenders of the city are some old, weak, sick and disabled, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. As long as the brothers charge, plus the brothers in the city to respond, they can capture the south gate of the licorice shop in the blink of an eye. ”
Hearing this, Li Zicheng was stunned for a while, looked at the adobe city wall that was only four or five meters high, and couldn't help sighing: "Even such a high city wall can stop people?" Even if the gates of the four city gates are closed, stepping on a war horse, a jump, you can climb over the wall, there are loopholes everywhere, and we should cooperate with the outside world? ”
"Ahem, that~ boss, it's me thinking too much." Ma Xin looked embarrassed, and turned to defend himself and said, "I'm not doing it for convenience, saving me the trouble of attacking the city gate. It's better to be able to enter the licorice shop through the city gate than to storm it. ”
While speaking, Li Zicheng had already taken the lead in standing up, no longer hiding just now, he waved his big hand and said heroically: "What are you waiting for?" Let's go, attack the licorice shop early, so as not to have any accidents, or unexpected situations. Brothers, come out, the cavalry in front, the infantry in the rear, go! ”
Immediately, with a hula, six hundred soldiers appeared from the grass, three hundred war horses were on the side, and came out after them, and the one-eyed little black dog black ruffian suddenly came out, jumping and jumping, he had already come to Li Zicheng's side from in front of the group of war horses, shaking his head, lively and excited, as if he was asking for credit.
Seeing this situation, Li Zicheng didn't think it was funny, and said loudly: "Okay, black ruffian, I know, I will give you a credit!" After waiting for the licorice shop in the city, the can choose at will, and the meat tube is enough, so that you can eat enough and enjoy eating! ”
"Hehe..."There was a chuckle around him, and Ma Xin couldn't help but say: "Don't say it, boss, if it weren't for the black ruffian to suppress these war horses, so that they didn't dare to make a sound, and honestly lay there, our whereabouts would have been revealed a long time ago." ”
"Wang..." seemed to understand the conversation between the two, and the black ruffian called excitedly, puffed up his chest, raised his mouth, and made a gesture of who I was.
Driving...
A burst of shouts of galloping horses suddenly sounded, one after another, and continued. With a burst of dust, Li Zicheng took the lead, constantly slamming the horse's belly, still shouting: "Brothers, rush~!" Tickets, food, women, just in front, after rushing in, it's all yours! ”
Hahaha...
Li Zicheng's funny made everyone laugh for a while, and Ma Xin on the side added to it: "Remember, crazy is crazy, don't forget discipline!" The woman mentioned by the boss refers to the woman in the Qinglou, and after playing, she has to pay; The silver may be carried into the bosom, but not over; Also, grain and silver can only be taken from the government treasury and the homes of the rich and unkind, and the people cannot be harassed, do you hear?! ”
"I heard you!" The neat and unanimous answer, with a loud sound, immediately disturbed the officers and soldiers of the licorice shop, who woke up from their drowsiness, and when they saw this scene in horror, their faces turned pale and frightened, and they got carried away and ran to the city, throwing away their armor and forgetting to close the city gate.
For Li Zicheng's concept of women and food, it doesn't have so many restrictions, meat is made casually, and "women" are casually engaged, which is not a violation of discipline!
In the blink of an eye, a distance of several hundred meters, in less than a few minutes, three hundred cavalry poured into the city of licorice shop, like a huge sword, galloping, and then broke in. The three hundred infantry were not to be outdone, running forward, letting him sweat profusely, letting him scorching the sun, and his speed did not decrease at all.
"Oh no, the thief is coming, run away!"
The licorice shop was immediately plunged into chaos, and the people of the city fled in all directions, and their horror was palpable, and they ran desperately for fear that if they were too late, they would be slaughtered.
However, these ordinary people did not notice that Li Zicheng's group of thieves had already broken into the city, and none of the ordinary people were poisoned by them, and the dead and injured were all stamped in a panic. The sound of wailing made these ordinary people uncertain and fled.
Gradually, Li Zicheng's cavalry team slowed down, seeing this situation, the panicked people had already blocked the road in front, frowned for a while, and then looked up to the sky and shouted: "Folks, don't panic, don't mess up, we are Li Jiajun, I am Li Zicheng, I won't hurt your lives!" ”
Immediately, Ma Xin immediately understood, turned to look at the other cavalrymen, and ordered: "Follow the boss and say the same thing!" ”
At this moment, it was like a thunderclap on the ground, and the three hundred people were like one person, without any drills, and at this time they shouted in unison: "Folks, don't panic, don't mess up, we are Li Jiajun, and we won't hurt your lives!" ”
......
The same words, over and over again, resounded all around. As if there was some kind of magic, the content of the words immediately calmed the people who were fleeing in all directions, and in a hurry, his feet slowed down a little, and he turned to look at Li Zicheng and the others, and the same voice immediately sounded in the crowd one after another: "It's really Li Jiajun!" ”
Soon, although there was still some chaos in the city of the licorice shop, the scene had been effectively controlled, and the people in the middle of the street hurriedly flashed to the sides to make way out of the main road, and their eyes were full of excitement and excitement, and there was no more panic.
"Hey, hey... It seems that Li Jiajun's reputation has been beaten, and it can be seen from the performance of the people in the licorice shop! When Li Zicheng was so proud in his heart, he instigated the reins, slowly increased his speed, and said to the people around him excitedly: "Folks, since you believe in me Li Zicheng so much, I believe in Li Jiajun, you must also know our rules." ”
"Folks, old and young masters, go back first, and don't leave the house today. At this time tomorrow, please go to the center of the city and distribute the things hoarded by the evil court and the magnates to everyone, don't mess up, don't panic, please keep order! ”
At this time, the main road had been completely emptied, and as soon as Li Zicheng's words were finished, someone responded: "Leader Li, we know your rules, and the people will not be harmed, so we will kill the rich and unkind magnates and the bullies who are rampant in the township, open the treasury of the imperial court, and open a warehouse to give grain." Don't worry, we all listen to you and know the rules! ”
The others echoed one after another, their voices were noisy and rumbling, and they couldn't tell who started and took the lead in corresponding Li Zicheng's troops.
Immediately after, Li Zicheng turned his head to look at Ma Xin and ordered: "Immediately divide three squads and control the other three city gates." Before leaving tomorrow, only enter, not out, violators, killed! ”
"Yes, Boss!" Ma Xin agreed, then looked at the three banners, and ordered: "You, you, you, immediately take your own teams to control the three city gates in the east, west, and north." If the officers and soldiers guarding the gate dare to resist, do not accept surrender, and directly crush them! ”
"Yes, Captain!" The three banners agreed, and the hand holding the reins was at the same time, and the war horse immediately galloped out, and the speed increased instantly, like a bow and arrow off the string, fifty cavalry followed, and three hundred cavalry were immediately separated.
At this time, the backward 300 infantry had already caught up, Li Zicheng did not stop, leaving 50 soldiers to guard the south gate, shouting: "Drive!" ”
At the same time, Li Zicheng said without looking back: "Ma Xin, you and I each bring half of the soldiers and horses, I will go to take the forage field of King Su, and you are responsible for controlling the various treasury and counting all the grain and treasury silver!" ”
"Yes, Boss!"
Ma Xin agreed, and there was a long neighing of horses, and the sound of stampede, and the people walked slowly, as usual, towards their respective homes, strolling leisurely, without any sense of panic when the city was broken, and there was a faint hint of expectation.
