Sun Chuanting only said a few words in the letter, which roughly means that the people's army will definitely fight back, as long as you hold the county seat of Jizhou for two to three days, it will be a great achievement, and the old man will be a soldier to prepare for the army, if someone gives you small shoes, the old man can also help you move a more comfortable place.

This is completely the rhythm of promotion and fortune, can Chen Tang not be happy? The big mouth is so wide that he can't close it, don't look at him now as the chief military officer who leads the army, but this chief military officer is temporary, and after the battle, this official position will be withdrawn.

"Please tell Inspector Sun that you will not lose Jizhou if you don't defend it."

Chen Tang enthusiastically took the messenger's hand, and a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels was quietly stuffed over, and then patted his chest to assure the messenger that if the people were in the city, if the eight thousand soldiers could not hold the county seat of Jizhou, he would take his head and ask for guilt.

After sending off the messenger, he ordered the whole city to mobilize, rush to build all kinds of city defense equipment, strengthen the city fortifications, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to go to the countryside to collect food, no way, Jizhou County in the grain storage, weapons and equipment all let the people's army move a fine light, have to get it again, before the people's army comes back, he has to do all kinds of precautionary work, to ensure that there is no shortage of food, to stabilize the heart of the army and the people.

Chen Tang was entangled for a while, but he still sent someone to rush back to report the reason to the governor Yang He, and asked for reinforcements of grain and grass and equipment to defend the city.

Taiyuan Prefecture, Lan County under the jurisdiction of Qilan Prefecture.

In the Wei family's mansion, Guan Ruozhi and her personal maid Xiang'er were busy collecting Dongdong, and a group of family members and people from the Red Gang put all the valuable things that should be moved into the carriage, and then went out of the city in a mighty way.

The landlords and old wealth merchants of various families are also busy collecting all kinds of valuable Dongdong, there are a small half of them like Guan Ruozhi, picking up the soft, dragging their children out of the city, and going to the countryside to take refuge in their relatives' houses for some time, and most of the people do not believe that the people's army can kill Lan County, they donated some money and grain to help the county respect Li Ling to form a strong defense of the city.

Guan Ruozhi did not go to the countryside, but surrounded by the family and the disciples of the Red Gang, she went up to Panlong Mountain, and with her the family members of Wu and Zhang, these two families are not only a business cooperative relationship, but have been infiltrated and bought, and have become one of the branch forces of the Red Gang.

Panlong Mountain is steep, rugged and steep, there are two mines in the mountain, both of which are industries under her name, and the mined ore is carried by the Red Gang, plus the cooperation with the local landlords and wealthy merchants, a large number of ores are continuously transported to Jingshi and other places.

The two mines on Panlong Mountain contain large reserves and can be mined for many years, Zhang Yaowu Zhang, the head of the Red Gang Branch, and Li Fengcheng, of course, must manage it well, and operate the entire Panlong Mountain into a steep fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the weapons and equipment are more sophisticated than the private soldiers of the Eight Families, and they are equipped with a lot of sophisticated muskets, there are as many as 12 Franc cannons erected on the fort alone, and there are also a lot of grenades, gunpowder, etc.

There are clear springs in the mountains, and in some places you can plant sparse vegetables, you can store water to raise fish, chickens, ducks, pigs, etc., and a large amount of grain has been accumulated recently, and you don't have to worry about running out of food for a year, for fear that the people's army attacking the mountain will not be able to hold it first.

Zhang Yaowu after receiving the secret letter sent by Jinyiwei, and Li Fengcheng together to tinker with the fortifications of Panlong Mountain, with the cement of this good east, it is not a problem to build the city wall and other fortifications in which base, the two spent more than N cement, and strengthened the fortifications of Panlong Mountain to the point of madness, even if Li Xin and Cao Bianjiao came in person, saw the perverted fortifications of Panlong Mountain, and did not want to attack the mountain if they were killed, and the entire wolf camp or Shenji camp was exhausted, they may not be able to capture it.

The personnel, materials, etc. have all been transferred, and some personnel and materials for preparatory action are also ready, and the next thing is to wait for the people's army to kill, Zhang Wuye and Li Fengcheng sent a large number of eyeliners, always keeping an eye on the movements of the people's army, so as to launch a series of actions at any time.

It is no secret that the news of the people's army entering Taiyuan Mansion is no longer a secret, and it is a lie to say that the counties do not have a certain amount of panic, and the county lords of all prefectures and counties have urgently recruited young and strong people, formed county soldiers, and prepared to defend the city to the death.

Some of them are too close to the county town and villages, and the people either take refuge with their families to the deep mountains and old mountains, or avoid other places, and the rich and large families rush to the county seat of Yangqu, the seat of Taiyuan Prefecture, where the high walls are thick, and there are many officers and soldiers, which is theoretically the safest, and the poor people can only avoid the small county town.

In a forest under the jurisdiction of Hequ County, a large number of civilian troops hid inside, waiting for the signal to attack the city.

"Brother Li, why is the eldest husband without a wife."

"That is, brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, under the county seat of Hequ, brother will help you get a few beautiful girls."

"Yes, Brother Li, this time, the brothers asked you to choose a woman first."

A group of leaders are desperately comforting Li Zicheng, after the people's army beat the division of the Shang Alliance, they quietly retreated into the vicinity of Hequ County to hide, taking Hequ County is the first step, Gu County is their important target.

"What's the use of a woman except for giving birth to a son, Brother Li, listen to your brother, and get you a few beautiful little fathers when the time comes, so as to ensure that you are cool and crooked." Zhang Xianzhong grinned and said with a smile.

The upper-class magnates of the Ming Empire have the habit of raising lewd and beautiful men, and take this as an elegant and interesting thing, rich families, you are embarrassed to go out if you don't raise a few beautiful men.

Zhang Xianzhong has this hobby, the original history, Li Zicheng and him turned against each other, just for a few beautiful men and women and disputes, Zhang Xianzhong grabbed a few beautiful men, Gao Yingxiang sent Li Zicheng to curry favor with him, but Zhang Xianzhong has only been playing for a few days, and he hasn't played enough, how can he let go, this feud is just like this, they all say that Chong Guan is angry for the red face, and the two brothers are angry for the man.

Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers entered Sichuan, and after being violently beaten by Qin Liangyu, he took the remaining hundreds of brothers to retreat to the deep mountains and old forests where he had been hiding, and after a little rest, he set off to Shanxi, spent a sum of money, and hired local people to risk crossing the Yellow River to chase Wang Ziyong and others.

He was very lucky, he avoided the interrogation of various officers and soldiers along the way, arrived on the day when the civilian army withdrew from Jizhou County, and rejoined the large army.

Li Zicheng's face was depressed, after everyone retreated here, he found out that his wife Xing Xian was missing, along with Gao Jie and more than 20 of his cronies who were sent to protect Xing Xian.

He was really sad, his first wife had already made him a green hat, but he didn't expect the second wife to get him another one, did he have to wear a green hat by nature?

Sadness is just a trivial matter, what he hates most is Xing Xian and Gao Jie, the dog man and woman, you just get a green hat for Lao Tzu, and even took away most of his belongings, causing him to become a poor egg from the trench, so angry that he almost spurted blood on the spot.

Li Zicheng wiped a handful of old tears, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth and swore that I, Li Zicheng swore to the sky, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, Lao Tzu will chop you up and feed them to the dogs, and crush your bones and scatter ashes!
