Under Ge Wu's distortion, attacking Luo Dingcheng was not to find a serious background for everyone, nor to fight the Tartars for the national justice, nor to reward the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, nor to entrust his wife and son in the future, but simply to "he who has done a big vote".

Even a scholar dares to do a big vote, which has become the best reason Ge Wu used to encourage everyone. He heard that the men were all excited and hesitant, and he was willing to give it his best. He was really inferior to a scholar. Is he so shameless!

With Ge Wu's mouth flying, the abstract Luoding City has been specifically about how much money and grain the Qing army stocked in the city, how many wealthy families there were, which daughters and daughters-in-law looked beautiful, which house looked grand, which restaurant made delicious food... Finally, the most reliable statement that Zhou Shixiang had ever heard was that he could attract many strong men to expand his team. In addition, he had never heard of a constructive or visionary statement.

Short-sighted!

The fanatical discussions between these men made Zhou Shixiang laugh and cry. He remembered a movie he had watched in his previous life. There was a line in the movie: "The Qing Dynasty has always oppressed us Han people and stole our silver and women, so we want to fight against the Qing Dynasty."

Yes, for a bunch of bandits who don’t know much about their big words and have no national justice, anti-Qing is probably so simple - to snatch back our money, grain and women, as for the rest, these rough men have never thought about it.

His subordinates were all thinking about going to attack Luoding City, so naturally Hu would not pour cold water on him. The prospect Zhou Shixiang described for him was still very attractive. If he was really lucky to take Luoding City, Hu Quan would be the real Luoding General. At that time, if he had territory, people, money, and food, wouldn’t it be happier and more powerful than being a bandit in this mountain nest? If God blessed and the Ming Dynasty could revive again, he would really offer this head to the Zhu family, and fight with the Tartars with his brothers, avenging the dead mother and brothers!

Damn it, I've been betting!

Boss Hu finally made up his mind, but he did not faint. He had been a personal soldier in Li Chengdong's army and had seen what the battle between the two armies was like. He understood that fighting was not something that could be done with a hot mind and a shirtless thing. How to conquer Luo Dingcheng, how could it be taken down? This matter must be discussed carefully, otherwise if you are not careful, everyone will have no place to bury it.

Seeing that his subordinates were still screaming and laughing, as if Luo Ding had already obtained it, Boss Hu frowned and coughed lightly at Duke Xiang of Song. The latter came over and hurriedly pulled Zhao Sihai over and said a few words. Zhao Sihai couldn't help but nodded, and then pulled Ge Wu over and whispered a few words. Soon, the Ge Wu brothers persuaded and drove a group of people out of the house.

After everyone left, only Boss Hu, Duke Xiang of Song, Zhao Sihai and Peng Dazhu were left in the house. These people were also the core leaders of the bandits in Daqiao Mountain.

After dealing with it for a while outside, the Ge Wu brothers knew that the house was discussing the attack on Luo Dingcheng, so they sneaked back. When they entered the house, they heard Zhao Sihai ask Zhou Shixiang: "I heard from the scholar's words just now, I have seen the world, but I don't know what the scholar has to do with capturing Luo Dingcheng?"

"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight the people all over the world. I don't know much about the situation in Luoding City. I don't have any idea at the moment. I have to know the situation in the city before I can make a decision." Zhou Shixiang did not dare to speak loudly. Even if he had more knowledge for hundreds of years, he would not dare to act rashly when the enemy was unclear.

Upon hearing this, Duke Xiang of Song deeply agreed: "Yes, only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win every battle. I have been to Luoding City to buy medicine. I know a little about the situation in the city. It is better to let me talk about it for Brother Zhou."

Boss Hu had no objection. Duke Xiang of Song went to Luoding to buy medicine and naturally also inquire about the situation in the city. No one in the house knew more than Duke Xiang of Song, so he said that it would be best.

At this moment, Duke Xiang of Song briefly explained what he knew.

...........

According to Duke Xiang of Song, Luodingzhou was a newly built Zhili Prefecture in Guangdong in the fifth year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, and it governed the two counties of Luoding, Dong'an and Xining. In the second year of Yongli and the fifth year of Shunzhi, after the Qing army led by Li Chengdong, the Southern Ming General Xu Anguo, who was stationed in Luoding, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Later, Li Chengdong returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and Luoding became the Ming territory again.

After Li Chengdong was defeated in Jiangxi, Guangzhou soon fell again. The Ming army stationed in Luo Ding fled before the Qing army came. Luo Dingcheng was once again owned by the Qing Dynasty. Later, Li Dingguo attacked Guangdong twice, and Luo Dingcheng was also connected back and forth between the Ming and Qing dynasties, just like other prefectures and counties in western Guangdong, and until now it is owned by the Qing army again. There are a few hundred people stationed in the city. It was said that these green camp soldiers were not soldiers from Guangdong province, but were transferred from Jiangxi. The one who led the troops was a Qianzheng, but they didn't know what their surname was.

After hearing these simple situations, Zhou Shixiang thought about it and asked Song Xianggong: "Can the Qing army be stationed in the two counties of Dong'an and Xining?"

Duke Xiang of Song shook his head and said, "Dong'an and Xining were slaughtered by the Qing army a few years ago, and Dong'an County was even burned to pieces by fire. There is now a ruin and no one lives in Xining at all. The same is true for Xining. At present, there is no good place in Luodingzhou except Luoding City."

"Where is the Qing army closest to Luo Ding stationed?"

"It should be Deqing's Qing army."

"How far is it?"

"At least there are hundreds of miles."

"It's so far away?" Zhou Shixiang was a little surprised. "If Luo Ding had something to do, how could Deqing's Qing army have time to rescue? Luo Dingcheng only had a few hundred soldiers. With such a small amount of troops, isn't the Qing army afraid that Li Dingguo's army will come again?"

This question does not require Duke Xiang of Song. Zhao Sihai said from the side, "The Tartars were afraid that the army of Li Ding will come again, so they did not dare to disperse their troops. Luo Ding's hundreds of green camp soldiers might also mean a outpost. If Li Ding's troops were fighting again, they would definitely run away."

Duke Xiang of Song smiled and said, "The Tartars are not afraid of, but they are afraid of Li Dingguo's troops. If they really want to completely control Luo Dingzhou, they will not even be appointed as a magistrate." After saying that, he remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, Luo Ding's wall has been ruined after the Ming and Qing dynasties in recent years. I saw two big gaps when I went there last time. The Tartars just simply repaired it. Look at the situation, if Li Dingguo is really coming, they will definitely abandon the city and return to Guangzhou."

Ge Wu interrupted from the side: "No matter how far the Tartar reinforcements are, the city walls are broken, but we have too few people, so this city still cannot be reached."

"This may not be necessary." Zhou Shixiang was moved. "Since Luo Ding's Qing army was so afraid that Li Ding's army would come over, why don't we use this to do some work?"

"What scholars mean to scare them away?" Zhao Sihai's head shook, "The Tartars are not fools. How could they run away without seeing a real person?"

Zhou Shixiang did not answer him, but instead said to Song Xianggong: "Does Mr. Song know about the sesame plums in Xuzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?"

"Sesame and plum?" Duke Xiang of Song was stunned. After searching for a while, he remembered who this person was. He couldn't help but say: "I have seen this person in a book, saying that he was from Pi County, Xuzhou. Due to the famine, there was a warehouse of sesame in his home to provide relief to the victims. The old friend called Sesame and plum."

Zhou Shixiang nodded. The Sesame Li mentioned by Duke Xiang of Song was indeed the same hero in his hometown as he knew in his previous life. He said to everyone: "This Sesame Li is a great hero who resisted the Mongolian Tartars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Red Turban Army rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty. In order to respond to the Red Turban Army, Sesame Li led dozens of heroes from his hometown to attack Xuzhou City."

"I know Xuzhou, that's a big city. How dare dozens of people in Sesame Li fight?" Peng Dazhu looked disbelief, but his question was very good at cooperating with Zhou Shixiang.

"It's amazing now. It's good. At that time, there were thousands of soldiers in Xuzhou City, but Xuzhou City was just asked Sesame Li to take it down with dozens of people. Do you know how he took Xuzhou City?" Zhou Shiyi said this and deliberately stopped.

"How to take it? Don't keep it a secret from the scholar (Brother Zhou), say it quickly!"

Everyone's appetite, including Boss Hu, was suddenly compared to Zhou Shi, but Duke Xiang of Song smiled mysteriously, already knowing what Zhou Shixiang planned to do.

"The situation of Sesame Li trying to attack Xuzhou at that time can be said to be the same as us, even more dangerous than us, because there were thousands of Yuan soldiers in Xuzhou City, while the Qing army in Luoding City was only hundreds of! Some people must have disagreed with Sesame Li's risky behavior at that time, but Sesame Li Li rejected the stranger. He ordered eight heroes to disguise themselves as migrant workers who took advantage of the river to join Xuzhou City at night. Four people entered the city, and four people stayed outside the city. By the fourth update, four people in the city lit four fires and shouted in unison: "The Red Turban Army has come to Xuzhou City." The four people outside the city also lit four fires to respond, and the inside and outside were noisy, and the city was in chaos. Four people in the city seized the weapons of the gatekeepers, and four people outside the city also took advantage of the situation to rush in and shouted to kill each other."

Zhou Shixiang said so much, took a breath, and then excitedly said: "The Yuan soldiers in Xuzhou City woke up in their dreams. They suddenly heard the sound of killing in the city. They didn't know how many Red Turban Army came to the city. They were so scared that they were frightened and ran around in chaos. At this time, Sesame Li led the rest of their subordinates to attack the city, fought bravely to kill the enemy, dispersed the Yuan soldiers defending the city, captured the provincial officials alive, and quickly captured the entire city of Xuzhou. After dawn, Sesame Li raised a large flag on the top of the city to recruit people to join the army. More than 100,000 applicants were raised, and then they raised a large flag on the Xuzhou Bawang Tower, and wrote a letter "Three thousand tigers, reach the land of Youyan; Dragons fly nine five, reopen the sky of the Song Dynasty!"

"It's really magnificent!"

After hearing this heroic incident, Brother Ge Wu couldn't help but cheer in unison: "What a sesame plum, what a great hero!"

Boss Hu was also excited and rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Zhou means that we can learn the sesame plums and seize Luoding City in this way?"

"Yes, our predecessors can do it, but how can we not do it!" Zhou Shi said firmly, then he clasped his fists and bowed to Boss Hu, "Brother Hu is Sesame Li, we are those heroes. Please ask Brother Hu to lead us to be a great hero!"

"good!"

Boss Hu was so proud that he couldn't help but shout: "I, Hu Quan, learn from the predecessors, and take down Luo Dingcheng to find a place for the brothers to settle down!"
