Chapter 23 How are you guys

Li Zicheng shot a book to tease Cao Wenzhao, but he replied:

"Women's clothing requires Lu silk, the more the better."

"It's interesting." Li Zicheng smiled.

Earlier, the revolutionary army raided the houses of local tycoons and confiscated a lot of women's clothing. Unfortunately, they were all in Quanzhang Village. Otherwise, they would have given Lao Cao a pair of obscene pants to play with.

Since you won't attack, I won't move either. Let's croak for a while.

Maybe Cao Wenzhao bowed his head and bowed down on impulse.

"Yang He is about to be imprisoned. There is no future for you to follow Hong Chengchou. The Hong generation is a little benevolent, and the emperor is deceitful. There is no hero or hero to make decisive decisions. You can encounter small enemies but not big ones. You have made a lot of achievements in the Shaanxi campaign. In the future,

But I don’t have anyone under my command. Why don’t you ask me for help!”

"Idiot!"

"Old Cao, if you follow me, you can be the founding general of the country. If you follow Chongzhen, you can only be a lackey."

"It's a shame! I'll kill you with a twist!"

"speak English!"

"You ambushed thousands of people in Quanzhang Village. What do you want?"

In fact, there were not that many, only about 800 people in Li Guo's new barracks. The other few hundred people were old farmers nearby, who had benefited from the revolutionary army and joined forces to build up momentum.

"What do you want to do if Ai is gone for ten thousand years and will never come back?"

In fact, there is no conspiracy, just go to Jishan County to get some support. Although the group of rural soldiers in Li Zhi County are useless, they are better than nothing. By the way, let him help with some food and grass.

After waiting for a while, Cao Wenzhao was worthy of being a hero and rode out alone.

Li Zicheng clapped his hands and stepped forward.

The two sides met halfway. Old friends met...

Li Zicheng had met Cao Wenzhao in Mizhi, but how could he pay attention to an inconspicuous little team leader.

"Commander, Cao can recommend you to serve as a garrison, and I will keep my word!"

"Brother Cao, I wonder if you have received the newspaper. Shanxi Town Commander-in-Chief You Shilu just returned home because of illness. Do you know the inside story? Because I had a long conversation with him before and Commander-in-Chief You realized that he had lost his way and returned."

"You're so out of tune! You're talking nonsense!"

"Brother Cao, you have reached the rank of Deputy Commander-in-Chief, but how many people are sitting on your head shitting and peeing? Fifty? A hundred? Stop at the brink, stop serving those bastards, come to my place and be under my control

Above ten thousand people!”

"Don't give up. Only if you have the ability to defeat Gang."

"I don't have time at the moment. Brother, we need to repel Guo Zhuzheng from Pingyang Road next door first."

Cao Wenzhao clasped his fists and said, "General, the country is in troubled times. With your talents, you will be the chief military officer in less than five years."

Li Zicheng sighed, "Yes, the country is in troubled times. The country... is better to say the country of the family, the country of the old Zhu family, what does it have to do with a person like me who has been a poor man for eight years? Even if Zhao Qian, Sun Li, and I are replaced, who will be the emperor?

What does it matter to me? Can they feed millions of poor people? Can they turn over millions of poor people and live like human beings?

Brother Cao, to put it bluntly, I don't take you seriously, it's just ringworm and scabies. What I'm thinking about is how to exterminate the slaves in Liaodong, that's a serious problem."

Cao Wenzhao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Hey! You'd rather bow to each other! You can't even make trouble with me these two times, but you still want to build a slave? You are so brave!"

Li Zicheng shook his head, "You don't understand my haggardness, it's an experience you will never experience."

"..."

It was getting late, so both sides stopped fighting and retreated slowly.

No one can even think about making a living, and they will harass each other all the time.

But the revolutionary army has twists, which are crunchy and crunchy.

Li Zicheng personally delivered a basket, and Cao Wenzhao returned the gift with some wine and meat. The two sat on the ground in front of the two armies' formations.

"How's it going, brothers!"

"The five leaders!"

"..."

When you meet your opponent in chess, you will encounter a good talent. After a five-and-a-half fight, the game opens.

The two of them were drinking here, and Ai Wannian led the team back over there, and there was another burst of excitement. Fortunately, there was no fight.

Li Zicheng and Cao Wenzhao ignored the external affairs and continued to drink. When they were half drunk, both of them were a little embarrassed.

"One person and I are drunk, and we will do great things in pairs. If you come with me, Old Cao, you will enjoy wealth and honor in ten years at most. A good man has three gangs, and the more people he pulls off the line, the more he can..."

"Please Hu Momo wipe the blind boy!"

"Old Cao, if I set an ambush in the mountains, would you be able to survive until now?"

"You're just asking for goods! How dumb is Gangang? Will he dig into the hole without any sense?"

For example, take a thousand people as an example, divide these thousand people into ten sentries, each with a hundred people.

When crossing the mountain road, the first sentry goes ahead and walks to the first pond to report the position of the cavalry. Watch the soldiers on the pond raise their flags. If there is no danger, they line up here to guard; then the second sentry passes the first sentry and advances to the position of the second pond.

And so on.

By staying step by step, you can be prepared even if the enemy ambushes you.

Lao Cao has been fighting for more than ten years and will not fall into this.

Li Zicheng added, "At least you don't have the chance to wear armor."

Ordinary marches do not involve riding horses or wearing armor, unless you want to tire the horses to death and the men to death.

Cao Wenzhao asked, "So what?"

Li Zicheng drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and then said: "Do you know why I'm waiting for you here? Originally, you were going to persuade Dian Dengzi to surrender a few of his men here, and then he would take the remaining men to Luliang Mountain. It won't be until September at most.

, in the Shilou and Ningxiang areas, Suide Zhizhou on the other side of the Yellow River, under the guidance of Jiang Ding, crossed the river in the middle of the night and hacked to death Dengzi."

"..." Cao Wenzhao didn't listen to Jimi for a while.

"Why didn't you hack him to death? Because Li Laojiao of Shaanxi, the lone wolf, was about to capture the central county; Shang Tianlong, Wang Laohu and others attacked Fu County; Cao Cao and others fell into Yichuan... There are many more that I won't mention. Governor Yang He

I want to transfer you back to Shaanxi to put an end to the chaos."

"..." Cao Wenzhao was a little confused.

"Then you will be promoted to the chief military officer of Lintao. Remember, this is Yang He asking for credit for you. Lao Yang will be imprisoned by Chongzhen in September, and Hong Chengchou will be promoted to power. Next, you will conquer the east and west, and all the hard work will be due to you.

Without you. You are not his direct descendant."

"..." Cao Wenzhao blinked and watched the short-haired performance quietly.

"You, Commander-in-Chief You, excused yourself to recuperate from illness. The imperial court originally intended to appoint you as Commander-in-Chief of Shanxi Town, but it failed. You can think about the reasons yourself."

"..." Cao Wenzhao stared at the short hair without saying a word.

"Old Cao, if I just do some calculations, everything that will happen in the next five hundred years will come out. Do you know what this means? Who in the world can fight with me?"

"..." Cao Wenzhao began to sneer, looking at Shorthair as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

"The Shaanxi civil uprising is just the beginning. The real storm will come next year. Because there are natural disasters raging above and harsh government below, the people have no other way to survive except rebellion. How many hungry people can you kill? One hundred thousand? One hundred

Ten thousand? Ten million? Lao Cao, a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"..." Cao Wenzhao stroked his beard and frowned.

"Brother, please learn from Du Wenhuan and You Shilu. When people see that the situation is bad, they immediately go home to recuperate. Even if they want to be an official again, there is no problem. Because the emperor has no one available and can rise at any time. It depends on whether he accepts the imperial edict or not.

On your own."

"..." Cao Wenzhao fell into deep thought.

"I won't talk about your ending. After all, it depends on people. As long as you know your way back, you will not die in the eighth year of Chongzhen, or even earlier."

"..." Cao Wenzhao snorted and curled his lips.

"You can doubt my words, we will wait and see; you can doubt my strength, we will see you in the seventh year of Chongzhen."



In the early morning of the 28th, the sleepy two armies regained their energy and prepared to fight.

The cavalry was on alert because it was about to leave the camp; then the infantry left the camp in turn; and finally the baggage.

After all the troops leave the camp, the infantry moves to the front again.

Cao Wenzhao set up a large square formation, and Li Zicheng came up with a crab formation.

In the Crab Formation, there is a lump in the middle as the main battle, and a few legs extending out on both sides to prepare for outflanking. This formation evolved from the Fish Scale Formation.

Cao Wenzhao studied for a while, and then changed his team into two square formations on the left and right;

Li Zicheng immediately formed two crab formations, preparing to devour him with the revolutionary army's numerical superiority.

"Sorry!" Cao Wenzhao didn't want to fight.

The bandits in front were all in good order, and the bandit leader was not an ordinary person, so he was unwilling to take risks.

What the frontier generals are counting on is a few hundred elite servants. Once they are wiped out, the remaining soldiers will not be able to cope with the situation.

Cao Wenzhao ordered the Ming army to divide the left and right armies into twenty small square formations, preparing to retreat alternately.

"Lie down!" Li Zicheng could not let the tiger go back to the mountain.

The trumpet sounded, and the revolutionary cavalry sent out and charged.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Gu Kecheng and Xin Sizhong were like dragons entering the sea; in Ai Wannian, Cao Bian was like a dragon descending from the mountain like a tiger, and the two sides "collided" together in an instant.

The remaining limbs were flying around, and the ground was stained with blood.

Collision is an exaggeration. It is impossible for cavalry to line up against each other because the horses are unwilling. When horses and horses meet, they will stop. The result will be an embarrassing situation where both the enemy and us will look at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

If you dare to fool the horse, it will dare to knock you off. Or the horse may twist its legs before it can knock you over, and it will fall backwards.

The cavalry columns of both sides passed by each other. You shot me an arrow, and I blasted you with a cannon; you cut me with a knife, and I stabbed you with a spear. Then they circled around each other, like a figure of eight, and the battle turned upside down.

It is a hero's dream to be able to defeat a thousand people with one horse. Every man has a heroic heart, provided that he will not be easily killed by the enemy.

Heroes riding alone into battle not only appear in romance novels and narrative scripts, but also in real battlefields.

Because the heroes wore thick armor, even their crotch mounts were wrapped like steel behemoths. They were invulnerable and brave, galloping left and right in the battlefield, smashing the enemy's formation into pieces.

Ai Wannian held the bridle in his right hand and rushed toward the bandit with a gun in his left arm.

"A bit of cold light arrives first, and then the gun comes out like a dragon."

The young general Dural of the Revolutionary Army knocked his spurs, changed directions in a small area to avoid the attack, and at the same time hurriedly released his bow and arrow, picked up his gun, and stabbed him!

However, the tip of the spear slipped away from his opponent's armor, and he was shocked to his core.

The two horses passed each other. Ai Wannian grabbed the rope and pulled out the spear.

Two more knives struck him one after another without breaking his defense.

Ai Wannian stabbed another enemy to death, but the barrel of his gun broke. He drew his knife and continued fighting.

The revolutionary army has a large number of people, which shows that the Ming army has thick armor.

Li Zicheng watched the battle for a while and felt bad, thinking that it was going to be bad.

He was about to give the order for the revolutionary army to advance in infantry formation, but the reconnaissance cavalry came to report the news. Li Guo of Quanzhang Village could no longer stand it.

The new camp's combat effectiveness was limited. Although it repelled three attacks in succession by relying on the terrain, its morale was unstable and its follow-up was weak.

At first, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers led by Guo Zhuzheng from Pingyang (Linfen) Road. This morning, more than 900 soldiers from Jishan County came out to attack Li Guo.

"Tao" means that administration is between provinces and prefectures. Related to military affairs are the Fenshou Dao, the Fen patrols Dao and the Military Preparation Dao. The three have different affiliations.

At first, Sandao was only in charge of supervision, such as the Qing army, farming, Yi Chuan, etc., supervising defense in peacetime and supervising the army in wartime.

Later, the three roads were often merged, such as the Datong Military Preparation Road and the Northern Hebei Branch Patrol Road, the Shuozhou Military Preparation Road and the Northern Hebei Branch Guarding Road, etc.

Jibei does not refer to the northern part of Hebei. Hebei represents Jizhou, one of the ancient nine states, and the territory includes Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and other parts. For example, Datong Prefecture is in the north, so it belongs to northern Hebei, and Lu'an is in the south, and it belongs to south Hebei, and accordingly there is a military preparation road in southern Hebei.

Daotai are all civil servants, but now they also have to lead troops to fight.



Li Zicheng looked at the battlefield. At this time, the cavalry of both sides were still attacking each other, each suffering damage, and it was difficult to tell the winner.

Cao Wenzhao's small phalanxes retreated alternately, and the infantry was withdrawing in an orderly manner to the mountainous area to the north.

Neither side sent reserve troops to join the battlefield.

"You are lucky!"

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and cursed again, then first dispatched the cavalry from three sentries to support Li Guo.

Then the flag of the Chinese army flew, and the two crab formations of the revolutionary army dispersed and changed into the bird formation.

With one team as an independent tactical group, dozens of groups were scattered like throwing rice, preparing to surround the Ming army cavalry.

Cao Wenzhao, who had just climbed to the top of the hill, stopped to watch for a moment, thought about it twice, and finally took Yulin Ginseng General Yuan Panlong to speed away from the battlefield.
