Li Dingguo heard this and said: "Let's clean up the battlefield first, these things will be talked about after seeing Sun Kewang in a while." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiadong nodded and said: "That's okay, Ai Nengqi and Zhao Ding have been arrested, I see what kind of face he Sun Kewang still has, facing us." ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo said: "There will be face, his grandson is expected to be thick-skinned since he was a child." ”

"Second brother, you are here to criticize your brother when the eldest brother is not here, this is what you do as a brother?"

Liu Wenxiu reflected at this time, and saw that Li Chaomeng took Lantian Jun away, and he didn't call the second brother anymore, but directly called the second brother, which was no choice, the second brother was called to save his life, and now that he could die, he would stand up.

Li Dingguo looked at Liu Wenxiu, and said with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "The 120,000 army even broke the enemy's city wall, and then fell into the current miserable situation, am I criticizing him?" I'm stating the facts. ”

"You ......"

Liu Wenxiu's face was extremely ugly at this time, there was no way that they were really embarrassed in this battle, facts speak louder than words, even if he was clever enough to say that this defeat was a victory over the other party.

Li Dingguo looked at Liu Wenxiu's appearance and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "Why do you feel ashamed?" Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to keep your mouth shut easily. ”

Liu Wenxiu said with a dark face at this time: "There is nothing to say about losing the battle, since you are so powerful, why don't you lead people to charge, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Dingguo heard this and said: "I saw that the battlefield had already been fought here, so I threw off the large army and came to the rescue with 3,000 cavalry from my headquarters. ”

Liu Wenxiu stopped talking when he heard this, and at this time, Liu Wenxiu's personal soldiers also ran out, ran over with a smoke, and saw Liu Wenxiu hurriedly dismount and said, "Commander, are you okay?" ”

When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he glanced at his soldiers and scolded: "What are you all doing to eat, you are only here now." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers said with a bitter face: "Lantian's cavalry is too powerful, our team was scattered, and his subordinates also escaped desperately. ”

"Alright, alright, less nonsense, I'm injured, take me back to the camp."

"Yes."

The soldier said, turned to Li Dingguo, and then helped Liu Wenxiu to get on the horse, and he personally led the reins of the horse to Sun Kewang's headquarters camp.

Wang Jiadong looked at Liu Wenxiu, who was far away, and said to Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, you have to be careful, this guy is not a good bird, I'm afraid he will arrange us after returning to the camp." ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo looked at the direction where Liu Wenxiu was going and said: "It's not once or twice, my father-in-law knows in his heart what kind of goods they are, okay, let's not talk about this first, Jiadong, do you think we can win this copper coin pass?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiadong looked at the city wall that had been rebuilt with cement and shook his head, if he wanted to win the level of Lantian, it was extremely difficult, and it was not even possible to do it by force or strategy.

Lantian has been the most powerful in these years is defense, any general in the defense of Lantian is an expert, maybe Lantian's offensive is not strong, but Lantian's defense is absolutely impregnable, and even not only the main force, even if it is a militia, the strength of defending a city is far greater than that of the Ming Pass guards.

You don't even need to rely on the weapons of the leading enemy, just rely on the hearts of the people to kill ordinary offensive troops, because if you want to attack a county town in Lantian, you have to be the enemy of every common person in Lantian.

The difference between the people of Lantian and the other people of the Ming Dynasty is that they spontaneously want to protect their homeland, whether it is the rogues or the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they want to fight their territory, then they will really fight hard, because they know that if Lantian is ruled by someone else, they will live the dark life they used to live again.

So they will play with their lives to protect their homes, the militia can go to the city wall to protect their homes, the people can transport supplies to them, the militia is gone, the men in the city will consciously go to the city wall, and the women and children in the city will also spontaneously transport materials and cook to supply the children who defend the city.

If the son is dead, the old and weak women and children will not be unable to go until there is no one to fight in the city.

People say that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, the same reason, the people of Lantian have lived a good life, and if you let them live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs before, it will really touch their reverse scales, and it is really eighty old men who will fight with you with crutches.

Therefore, if Li Dingguo wants to capture Tongqian Pass, he must first pass the pass of a well-trained Lantian regular division with full firearms, sophisticated artillery, and a well-trained Lantian regular division with more than 10,000 troops.

If Li Dingguo really descended like a god, the soldiers were invulnerable and defeated the army of Lantian as a regular division, and in the case that Lantian was not supporting the regular army, he would still have to face about 80,000 or 90,000 militia in the Ankang area, these militias were all well-trained, even more powerful than the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.

Okay, even if you open up and kill the 80,000 militia and defeat them, Lantian County is still indifferent, and if you don't mobilize hundreds of thousands of militia support from other regions, you will continue to attack Tongqian Pass, and at this time, nearly 780,000 people in Ankang area should go to the city wall, and these 7.8 million people, excluding the old and weak, women and children, can at least draw out 100,000 young people.

If you kill all these 100,000 young and strong people, then the remaining hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children will fight with you, and you can still win?

Don't think that Lantian only has 10,000 regular troops at Tongqian Pass, but there is a solid mass base behind this that is almost impossible to defeat.

Lantian's concept is to consolidate the country without the danger of mountains and rivers, and the world does not take advantage of the military revolution, Lantian captures the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are towards Lantian, how strong do you have to be to break the hearts of the people.

And if you want to break the hearts of the people in Lantian, it is not impossible, that is, you can make a better political system than Lantian and bring better days to the people, as long as the people under your command live better than the people of Lantian, the people of Lantian are likely to be attracted to you, this is normal, this is the so-called water to go high.

Then let the people in power in Lantian do something angry and lose people's hearts, so that Lantian County can be dismantled.

But is there a force in this world that can help the people live the same life as Lantian?

It's impossible, don't say the same, even if half of it is difficult to do, at least if Daming can do half of Lantian and let the people have enough to eat, the people will not rebel as long as they have a way to live.

Now that the world is like this, it is a manifestation of the incompetence of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can do half of Lantian?

Then there should not be only one Lantian County in the world, but there should be two more areas ruled by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and they should become a three-legged trend.

It's a pity that the two of them can't do it, they won't restore the economy at all, they will only do sabotage, break a city, scourge a city, let more and more people under their command become more and more, strengthen themselves, and destroy the enemy.

As for the Manchu Qing in the end, not to mention, the Ming Dynasty are their ancestors who play the economy, and the reason why they were able to replace the Ming Dynasty was because of the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and natural and man-made disasters were all rushed together, which allowed the Manchu Tartars to take advantage of the loopholes, and even so, the Manchus could not win the Ming Dynasty in a war, and they had to recruit Han troops everywhere and use Han people to fight Han people.

Otherwise, there would not be the existence of the four feudal kings in the early Qing Dynasty, for this political system that is still in semi-slavery and semi-feudalism, Li Chaosheng looks down on it, and the Ming Dynasty is also unlucky, so that the Tartars will take advantage of the loopholes.

Therefore, if you want to shake Lantian, it is more difficult than shaking Mount Tai, and if you want to capture the copper coin pass, you must shake the Lantian level, so it is almost an impossible task to win the copper coin pass.

Besides, with the strength of these troops under Zhang Xianzhong, if you want to defeat Li Dezhen's third division, it is almost an impossible task, after all, although the third division is not famous, he is also one of the four main divisions of Lantian, and he is also equipped with all firearms.

So there was no possibility of success in this battle from the beginning, Li Dingguo listened to Wang Jiadong's analysis, and his eyes widened and said: "Lantian actually has such magic power, so that the people forget to die to help them?" ”

Wang Jiadong said at this time: "Dingguo, you know that I was originally from Lantian, when I left Lantian, the people of Lantian already had this characteristic, and now after so many years of operation, I am afraid that it is more than that, do you know why Li Chaosheng is unwilling to go out of Lantian to compete with the world's heroes?" ”

"Why?"

Li Dingguo asked curiously, and after hearing this, Wang Jiadong said: "First, Lantian County still has a trace of respect for the Ming Emperor in his heart. ”

"Wait? Emperor Daming, Lantian County Zun is also a pedantic person, what is there to admire about Emperor Daming Dog? ”

Wang Jiadong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How do I know, it's all rumors in the rivers and lakes anyway." ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said: "This should be nonsense, Lantian County respects the heroes, how can he admire an incompetent king, let's say second." ”

Wang Jiadong smiled bitterly, in fact, he really didn't know what the county respected and admired Chongzhen, and even many people in Lantian didn't know what Li Chaosheng secretly admired Chongzhen, after all, from the current point of view, this is an incompetent monarch who is stubborn and self-serving, and likes to toss blindly.

In fact, how can they know that the reason why Li Chaosheng admires Chongzhen is because Chongzhen kept the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, if it weren't for this, who would admire a king who died in the country.

Wang Jiadong said second at this time.

"Second, the people of Lantian always hold the simple concept that Lantian County is guarded by the people of Lantian County, the people of Henan are guarded by the people of Henan, and whose territory is guarded by whose people, so Lantian has been expanding the territory by moving the boundary monument, although the speed is not as fast as our siege and land, but fortunately, it is stable, and the next piece of land is a piece of land, and no one can take it away."

"Therefore, although Lantian has not been out of the customs in recent years, no one dares to underestimate Lantian, no matter who is talking about the heroes of the world, he must bring Lantian with him."

Li Dingguo muttered when he heard this: "This Lantian is so powerful, but how can I hear that Lantian is cruel, and there is a villain cave that specializes in dealing with heroes in the green forest?" It is said that it has killed countless heroes of the green forest. “

Wang Jiadong shook his head when he heard this: "Some things are always false by hearsay, if there is a chance, don't our brothers know everything when they go to Lantian?" ”

Li Dingguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he followed with a deep voice: "It's a good idea, but it's inconvenient to leave for a long time because of military affairs." ”

After Li Dingguo said this, he didn't say anything more, and sorted out the army and set up camp.

Lantian Villain Cave, the Wicked Cave is located on the stone hill of Languan Town, outside Lantian County.

It is a bald mountain, surrounded by a fence, and a sign has been erected outside the fence, which reads: "The land of great sin is not allowed for idlers."

Another sign reads, Lantian County Felons Prison.

There are two kinds of prisons in Lantian, one is the simple bow shed where the most common minor offenders live, which is called the labor camp, and generally commits petty theft, and the crime is not to death, all of them are locked up here, and they go to the construction site every day to work as coolies.

They will use their hard work to atone for their mistakes, and it is also a chance for Lantian to give them a chance to mend their ways and make them new people.

But some people are not human themselves, so they don't give him a chance to be a new person, such as this Lantian Felons Prison, also known as the Wicked Cave.

A large prisoner cart pulled an unkempt woman slowly into the range of the Wicked Cave, when two soldiers with muskets in their hands came from the sentry position, and the muskets were loaded and aimed at these people: "Who are you?" ”

This is a military stronghold, near the Cave of the Wicked Men in Bald Mountain, where a battalion of all-firearms troops has been stationed for a long time to guard these wicked people.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and took out his ID and said: "Zhao Jialiang, the commander of the guard company of the Lantian Legal Affairs Division, came to escort the felon, Wu Guiqin, on the order of the Legal Affairs Division. ”

The two guards looked at Zhao Jialiang's documents, nodded closely, waved their hands, and asked the prison guards to take over the people of the Legal Affairs Department, and said, "Company Commander Zhao, you can follow in, and the rest of them will wait in place." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jialiang nodded, but pulled a young man in a scholar's costume, after the young man came out, he was followed by several teenagers of the same age, Zhao Jialiang said: "They want to follow in." ”

The guard immediately frowned and said, "I'm sorry, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Zhao Jialiang nodded when he heard this: "I know, but they have special permissions." ”

Hearing this, the young man stepped forward to salute, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Hello, we are graduates of the School of Political Science and Law of Lantian Academy, and we are here to visit and study this time. ”

"School of Political Science and Law?"

Hearing this, the guard looked at the young man, and the young man smiled and took out a letter, which read a letter of introduction from the School of Political Science and Law, and then took out his ID and said: "This is our ID, please inform the prison warden." ”

Hearing this, the guard took the document and looked at it, and then his expression immediately became weird, because the young man's ID card had five words written on it.

Name, Li Chaogue!
