Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 188

The hot dumplings were served on the table, and the woman brought the soy sauce brought back by her son and put it on the table. Tang Teng dumpling, can't help sighing: "I haven't seen such a white dumpling for six or seven years."

After speaking, the father looked at his son in military uniform and said, "Come, eat."

After hearing this, the son looked at his mother who was busy underground and said, "Mother, you come to eat too."

After hearing this, the mother smiled and said: "It's Chinese New Year, how can there be a woman on the table, making people laugh, just leave me alone and eat quickly."

After hearing this, the son put down the chopsticks, looked at his mother and said, "Mom, come up and eat quickly. Our team leader said that men and women are equal, so I specially asked everyone that this time when I go home to eat dumplings, women must serve." , He said that other days can’t be controlled, but during the Chinese New Year, you have to listen to him.”

After hearing this, the woman was stunned. At this time, although the father was a little surprised when he heard this, he also said: "At home, since the head of the group has spoken, we have to listen. Come, go to the kang."

"Yes, mother, go to the kang."

At this time, the child also said aside, after hearing this, the woman didn't know what to say, she hesitated for a long time and said: "Since it was said by the leader, then I will listen to it."

Speaking of which, the woman came to the edge of the kang without taking off her shoes and sat sideways on the edge of the kang. At this time, the son in military uniform picked up the little brother, put him on the kang, took out a bowl, and put it in the bowl of the little brother. Four dumplings.

The little brother ate one, and his face was full of unspeakable satisfaction. It was delicious, so delicious. The little brother ate his mouth full of oil. At this time, his father also started to eat with chopsticks. The family had [-] meat and egg dumplings. Not full, but very satisfied.

The child ate one, and wanted to dip the second dumpling in soy sauce, so he took the dumpling and prepared to dip it in soy sauce. Seeing this scene, the father immediately frowned and said, "Hey, this soy sauce is a rare thing, can I eat it like this?"

At this time, the man tore off a small straw mat from his kang, and then divided four of them, and gave one to each family member, and then taught the child: "Look at the brat, use this to dip the soy sauce in a bowl." , and then just put it in your mouth, how much soy sauce do you eat?"

The man's words made the child nod repeatedly, and then imitated the example, dipped the grass root in soy sauce, took a sip, it was really salty and delicious.

Seeing the child like this, the family couldn't help laughing. During Chinese New Year, meat and egg dumplings are what Chinese New Year looks like.

After eating, the child sneaked outside, and immediately took out a handful of fruit candies like offering treasures. The woman frowned at the sight and said, "Where did you get it?"

Hearing this, the child grinned and said: "This morning, I ran into the uncle of the group on the road. I kowtowed and said Happy Chinese New Year. The uncle gave me a lot of these candies. I didn't want to Eat it, bring it back for parents to eat, hee hee..."

After hearing this, the woman looked at her father, and the father smiled and said, "It's good to have such a heart, your brother also brought candy when he came back this time, you can keep this candy for yourself."

"Ah."

Hearing this, the child cried out in surprise, then put the candy into his pocket with a smile, took out a piece of skin and stuffed it for his father, another piece for his mother, another piece for his brother, and finally for himself Stuff a piece, it's so sweet.

On New Year's Eve, the entire Tanggou Town was filled with a festive atmosphere. Everyone cheered and bowed to each other, wishing a happy New Year.

The New Year in Tanggou Town this year is very exciting.

After the 31st year, the next day is the first day of the new year. Youdao is the first day of the new year, and you bow when you open the door.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, many people in Tanggou Town took gifts out of the town to visit relatives in the surrounding towns and pay homage to their father-in-law. In the past, when everyone was poor, the father-in-law didn’t like his son-in-law to visit his house very much. Just a lunch, it would cost a lot of food, but this year, when the father-in-law in several nearby villages and towns saw the son-in-law in Tanggou Town, their eyes turned into peach-shaped smiles.

This year, the son-in-law in Tanggou Town is really too generous. To see his father-in-law, he took five catties of grain and a small handful of sweet and sweet candies.

This is a rare item, the old father-in-law said it was good after eating it, and all of them smiled happily, seeing that their son-in-law couldn't help being pleasing to the eye, and said that their daughter-in-law did not marry the wrong person.

They completely forgot that two years ago they still scolded Tanggou Town for the place where rabbits didn't shit. I have to say that this person's change is still very fast.

And seeing his son-in-law live so well, and seeing his son's finished life, the father-in-law can't help but ask why Tanggou Town is so rich now.

When you ask this question, everyone will talk about the treatment of the Security Army. For a while, the enthusiasm of other villages and towns to join the Security Army has risen sharply. They asked if there is any way to join the Security Army. They also want to earn military food and eat meat. Egg dumplings, also want to eat candy.

After such a year, the Tanggou Town Security Army has gained a reputation in the nearby villages and towns. Everyone tried their best to rely on their connections to join the Security Army, and some active-minded people with daughters also thought about whether they could marry their daughters. In Tanggou Town, it would be even better if he could marry the young people of the Security Army.

Li Chaosheng also listened to people's reports about this, and there is no other way, even if he doesn't want to hear it, just this morning, Li Chaosheng was approached by Li Chaolong, Guzi, and Li Debao, asking if our security forces are still recruiting. Many people came here through their relatives, and they all came here, and they wanted to enter the security army through the back door. They were really annoyed by the questioning.

After Li Chaosheng heard this, he gave Zhunxin directly, and we will recruit people after the Chinese New Year. When the news came out, half of Lantian County was in a state of excitement.

The atmosphere of the new year dissipated quickly. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year would be completely over. Li Chaosheng thought about it and recruited troops.

This time, the security army plans to recruit 600 people, and the existing 400 people will be expanded to 1000 people. In this way, the security army will also have a team of 1000 people. Together with the Qingyu soldiers, Li Chaosheng will have 2000 people. The length is also true.

As soon as the recruiting news came out, half of Lantian was considered crazy. Although this year has passed, the family is really running out of food. At this time, it is definitely a good idea to let the family members serve as soldiers. First, they can earn food. The second soldier is in charge of food, so he won't starve to death.

So Wuyang Wuyang rushed to Tanggou Town, and three or four thousand young men came at once. Li Chaosheng originally planned to recruit only 600 people, but after several layers of screening, more than 1000 people met the requirements for conscription. There was really no way to get rid of these people, so Li Chaosheng recruited them all after thinking about it.

So Li Chaosheng's security army suddenly expanded to a team of 500 people, which is already the standard strength of a regiment. In this way, Li Chaolong can be the regiment leader.

However, Li Chaosheng is not ready to promote Li Chaolong for the time being. After all, the war is about to start, and it will not be too late to be promoted after the battle. So he began to expand the grassroots team, such as the shield company. Normally, there should be only 120 people, but now it has expanded to 380 people. , There are more than three companies.

Li Debao's kamikaze company has now expanded to 400 people, 600 marksmen, it has to be said that the fighting power is amazing, and the exaggeration is that the gunner company now has more than [-] people.

As the trump card of the trump card, the cavalry platoon has also been officially promoted to a cavalry company, with a full staff of 120. It's not that Wang Guixiang doesn't want to expand, but the main reason is that there are not enough horses. , Including the horses that captured Xiaoyangyu's pursuers last time, it was worth a hundred and twelve horses.

In addition, the selection of soldiers for the cavalry platoon is too strict, so various reasons prevent the current cavalry company from continuing to expand, but even so, Wang Guixiang confidently said that as long as he trains for a month or two, he can guarantee that the 120 people will He dared to fight with thousands of infantry on the plain, even if he was a cavalry, he dared to face twice or even three times the enemy.

And this confidence is completely given by the compound bow. With the cavalry's riding and shooting ability, without the suppression of heavy weapons, the long-range kite of the compound bow is really unsolvable.

The officers under the expansion of the army will also be promoted, and the promotion of officers must be promoted from their own clansmen and members of the royal family. It can be said that this time the expansion, a large part of their own family members will be mixed into the position of the lowest squad leader. The tribe can climb higher, but Li Chaosheng will not let them expand without order.

As for the clansmen, with the expansion of strength, Li Chaosheng is willing to reuse capable clansmen, such as Li Chaolong, Li Chaoshui, Li Debao and other officers with outstanding ability to lead troops, but he will not let them occupy positions just because they are his clansmen , Li Chaosheng decided to use the military merit system from now on, and to firmly record everyone's military merits as the basis for promotion.

At the same time, Li Chaosheng would not treat these clansmen badly. No matter how incompetent he was, Li Chaosheng was willing to give them a platoon leader. After fighting for so many years, if they couldn't control thirty people, there was really nothing they could do.

At the same time, Li Chaosheng also decided to use more capable people with foreign surnames. The masters are among the people, and some people have outstanding military talents. Such people can be reused and even let them lead the Li family.

Li Chaosheng will not allow incompetent members of the Li family to occupy high positions. If he wants to become bigger and stronger, he must get rid of the most primitive method of using relatives and find more capable fresh blood. This is talent selection. Li Chaosheng valued this very much.

After some integration and training, after two months, the soldiers of the Security Army already looked like soldiers. Looking at these recruits, the veterans couldn't help but think of themselves last year, time is so fast.

The time arrived in the middle of March. At this time, the spring was cold and the whole Shaanxi was out of food. The food reserves of the people were completely exhausted. A large number of refugees appeared. It's getting worse and worse, and a catastrophe is about to brew.

There was also a famine in Lantian, but because Li Chaosheng recruited new soldiers in Tanggou Town, the situation in nearby villages and towns was greatly eased. In addition, although the grain production was reduced last year, there was still output, so there have not been large-scale disaster victims so far. .

After the small-scale disaster victims appeared, they were absorbed into Qingyu by Li Chaohu sent by Li Chaosheng to reclaim wasteland. If the land in Qingyu was developed, it would be easy to support at least 2 people.

Qingyu is a den of bandits, but it is not important to the victims. What kind of bandit is not a bandit? If you can take care of yourself for a meal or a bowl of porridge, that is a living Bodhisattva. open up wasteland.

However, Xiaoyangyu, Daiyu, and Dongtangyu didn't say anything about it. They looked at them indifferently. They were bandits, not saints. What did the disaster victims have to do with them.

The small-scale disaster victims in Lantian were absorbed, which led to the harmony in Lantian as a whole. However, this harmony could not last long, because large-scale disaster victims had appeared one after another in the Weinan area behind Lantian, and the disaster victims had the momentum to go south. It seemed that they were preparing to enter Lantian, Chang'an County fled famine.

Zhang Dezheng, the magistrate of Lantian County, was very troubled by this. He was secretly happy that there were no large-scale disaster victims in Lantian County, and he also knew about Li Chaosheng. ?

However, Li Chaosheng was very clever and claimed that the recruiting of farm households was to help farm the land, and some were kept in nursing homes, so Zhang Dezheng turned a blind eye to this and pretended not to see it.

After all, he has less than a year left in his term of office. At this time, he doesn't want to have any problems in his own territory. As for the landlord's personal arming, the imperial court does not allow such things, but there are not a few people who do this, such as the Fan family Dare to raise [-] swordsmen, and there are hundreds of nursing homes for other big families.

He, Li Chaosheng, recruited thousands of people, which is a little over the standard, but in the case of a catastrophe throughout Shaanxi, this is not a problem. He even wanted to thank Li Chaosheng. After all, Li Chaosheng solved part of the famine and reduced the number of Lantian disaster victims.

For this reason, he was named and praised by his superiors. Zhang Dezheng was very happy about this. He didn't want to be troublesome. As long as he was allowed to finish his job as a county magistrate for this year honestly, and then he was assessed by the Ministry of Officials as good, he would find a way to move to Jiangnan has found a rich county to be a county magistrate, and it will be quick to get money there.

The disaster intensified. At the end of March, a shocking news came out. Someone in Fugu County rebelled. The leader was Wang Jiayin. He used to be a soldier. Now he organized a large number of hungry people to rebel.

It is said that with a wave of arms, the responders were like a cloud, and soon there were 7000 people, who are currently attacking the county government. Another big news is that Baishui Wang Er started to move towards Fugu after knowing that Wang Jiayin had turned against him. The meaning of the masters of the two armies, and this news was a bolt from the blue to the Shaanxi officials.

If these two big traitors were allowed to join forces, the situation would be worse than ever, so Shaanxi dispatched troops to deal with the two parties, but at present there is a relatively big problem, the military salary cannot be paid, the food is not enough, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers is extremely high If there is no survival, there is no way to fight this battle, and there is no way but to help the court.

But the imperial court didn't have the time to take care of them at this time, they were busy transfusing blood in Liaodong, waiting for the newly appointed Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Dushi to flatten Liaodong for five years, so the imperial court only gave a little support to Shaanxi, and verbal encouragement: Shaanxi, come on.

Come on, but Shaanxi is obviously a little bit overwhelmed. The bandits are getting stronger and stronger, and the whole northern Shaanxi is almost in chaos. However, most of the documents reported by the officials have been suppressed. In a word, the civil uprising in Shaanxi is being suppressed.

official?It's always a mess, this world belongs to Zhu's family, as long as he can fool around, that's fine.

Therefore, the Shaanxi issue has not been well resolved at all.

Li Chaosheng also soon found out about Fugu. After all, he has been paying attention to the person over there. Wang Jiayin can be regarded as a ruthless person, and he is also a person who is expected to make a big difference. If Wang Er is compared to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Then Wang Jiayin should be a character like Xiang Liang, the real protagonist Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang didn't become the leader before the big name.

Just like the current Wang Jiayin, he should soon receive the loyalty of a group of good younger brothers, such as Gao Yingxiang, Wang Ziyong, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng.

This group of people will do something in this troubled world, and the prerequisite for them to do something is the hungry people in the world, and Li Chaosheng doesn't want to learn from them, he doesn't want to create so many hungry people, he wants to open up a paradise in this troubled world.

And in such a big environment in the late Ming Dynasty, what kind of place can be called a peach blossom garden? Of course, it is a place where you can eat, and a place where you can eat is a peach blossom garden.

Li Chaosheng decided to buy more food, but now most of the land in Lantian is owned by landlords. For them, Li Chaosheng is not going to kill them with a stick. Although Li Chaosheng does it like this, it is true. If he did this, he would definitely suffer an unprecedented blow to expand his power in the future.

In this regard, Li Chaosheng decided to boil the frog in warm water, don't worry, don't push the landlord.

So besides the land in the hands of the landlord, where is the land without an owner?The answer is very simple, that is, the six bandit chieftains in Lantian occupy the mountain valley. For example, Qingyu can support 2 people if it is fully developed. The food can be solved, this piece of meat is very fat, Li Chaosheng must not let it go.

So Li Chaosheng is going to talk to them, give up the land, and give it to Lao Tzu to farm!

As for their unwillingness to let them go, hehe...then I beat them and called them mothers and drove them away.

In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), April [-]st was April Fool's Day. Of course, it was not April Fool's Day at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Yu, farming in partnership.

Of course, this slogan didn't say it clearly, and the people in charge of Dayukou were notified to discuss the further development of Lantian County together.

Daiyu, one ear is living a very healthy life now. Last time he helped Xiaoyangyu Gu Zhibai seize the position of Xiaoyangyu's village master, Xiaoyangyu has become his subordinate force, and his power is even greater now. Looking at Luo Yumei, who was kneeling on the ground and tied in a cage with an iron chain, naked and naked, she smiled all over her face.

Luo Yumei is the deputy of Song Sanniang's inner women's army. After she was arrested to cover Song Sanniang last time, she was tortured by one ear and treated like a dog. Luo Yumei couldn't even ask for death. She was pinned to the ground, and a rope was tied around her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.

Every day is like an exhibit placed in a cage at a glance, being naked, being ridiculed and tortured by a group of men. It can be said that you can think of all the humiliating pictures, which have been reflected in this woman. This woman is originally exquisite His face is now old and sloppy, and his bright eyes have become numb.

It is impossible to ask for death, life is so desolate, but no one can help her escape.

report...

Just when one ear was appreciating the woman's desolation, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a minion running up and saying: "Report..."

"Say."

He looked at me with one ear and said, after hearing this, he took a piece of paper and said: "Just now when I was patrolling the mountain, a Qingyu Tanma passed by, and I shot this letter on the gate of the cottage."

After hearing this, one ear frowned and said, "Let me see."

The minion presented the letter with both hands, and at this time opened the letter with one ear and saw that it read: kiss with one ear.

One ear took the letter and saw that it said: Hello, head of one ear, I am Zhang Mazi, and I will hold a banquet at Shili Pavilion in the future to invite all the heads of the family to discuss the future development plan of Lantian and negotiate a consensus. Win, please have an interview with the head of the family. Of course, if the head of the family dare not come, you can send an envoy to talk.

Looking at the content of the letter, one ear frowned, and you asked me to discuss the future development plan of Lantian, what do you mean?Why does it feel like a Hongmen Banquet?

One ear is very alert, and immediately thinks of the Hongmen Banquet. It is obvious to all that Qingyu is so powerful now, and it is no good for him to be tough with him. Go it alone.

Dongtangyu Liu Yidao also received the same letter, took it to Liu Zongmin and asked, "What does Zongmin think?"

Liu Zongmin took a look at the letter and said with horror in his eyes: "Lantian's future plans, it seems that Qingyu is ready to start a war."

"Huh? Zong Min, what do you mean?"

Liu Yidao looked at Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin said at this moment: "In the past six months, everyone has developed harmoniously and accumulated strength. Everyone knows that a decisive battle is about to take place. Now that Qingyu posted a post and invited Shiliting to gather together, it must be to unify Lantian. gone."

"Ah, unified Lantian?"

Liu Yidao was startled, and Liu Zongmin said, "Isn't this normal? If we had Qingyu's strength, we would definitely want to unify Lantian. After all, there are too many big bandits in a small Lantian County."

After hearing this, Liu Yidao said: "Then what shall we do?"

Liu Zongmin smiled: "We have always had two paths, either to fight and resist, or to obey and surrender."

After hearing this, Liu Yidao said: "That Zongmin, which road do you want to choose?"

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin looked at Liu Yidao and said, "Brother surrender, are you willing?"

Hearing this, Liu Yidao shook his head and said, "They are all bandits, why should I surrender to them, no."

Liu Zongmin smiled and said: "That's right, we surrendered, we are still bandits, we haven't made much progress, and it depends on people's faces. Even if we want to rely on others, we must find a hero, such as Wang Jiayin, who is the one who will make great things happen. "

After hearing this, Liu Yidao looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "You want to go?"

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin looked at Liu Yidao and said, "Brother, Lantian is too small to accommodate me. Even if we win in Lantian, we are just older bandit leaders. My dream is to be a marquis and a general. "

After hearing this, Liu Yidao looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "Your heart is so big, Zongmin, but I beg you once to help my brother keep Dongtangyu. My brother doesn't want to rebel, and he doesn't want to join Qingyu, he just wants to guard this place." Live on one acre of land."

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin said: "Well, I know, I have been preparing for so long, and I also want to fight Qingyu. I lost wrongly last time."

As Liu Zongmin said, he said to Liu Yidao, "The day after tomorrow, Shiliting, I will go for you."

Xiaoyangyu.

Gu Zhibo was very proud at this time, officially becoming the owner of Xiaoyangyu, he was very happy, from now on he no longer had to look at that old man's face, he was so happy, as the owner of the village, he could do whatever he wanted.

There is only one thing that makes him feel uneasy, that is, Song Sanniang ran away, that girl is extraordinary, she is powerful, and now she still has revenge for killing her father, Gu Zhibai is very afraid that Song Sanniang will kill her back, so the whole Xiaoyangyu There are several times more patrol teams than before.

Gu Zhibo could feel a little more at ease about this, it was scary, thinking that he had a feud with a master who killed his father, this made Gu Zhibai unable to sleep well, when Gu Zhibai slept for the past few months, he always slept with his sword on his head, Otherwise, I can't sleep at all.

In a dream, Song Sanniang went into the house and slaughtered herself. She took her head and went to the grave of Song Laosan to worship.

This nightmare lasted for several months, which tormented Gu Zhibai enough, but in the end Xiaoyangyu was obtained, Gu Zhibai's desire for power was satisfied, he thought it was worth having a little nightmare, and he never regretted everything he had done, even When the head falls to the ground, he will turn against him, how can a real man live under others for a long time.

"Report~"

Minoru stepped forward to report, at this time Gu Zhibo looked at Minoru and said, "What news, have you found Song Sanniang's whereabouts?"

"It's not the report to the village owner, it's a letter from Qingyu."

Gu Zhibai froze for a moment, frowned, and reached out to take the letter.

"Shili Pavilion Banquet, Hongmen Banquet?"

Gu Zhibai directly thought of the word "Hongmen Banquet", and immediately frowned, a trace of panic appeared on his face, what did Qingyu want to do?Wouldn't it be to annex the entire Lantian Six Dayukou?
The more Gu Zhibai thought about it, the more he felt it was right, and immediately sent a messenger to send a message to his boss, One Ear, to ask One Ear if there is any good way.

Gu Zhibai's subordinates took Gu Zhibai's letter and found One Ear, and One Ear replied very simply: "He doesn't know what's going on, but I'm afraid the situation is not good, so get ready for battle."

A letter disturbed the minds of the three overlords in Lantian County, and all of this was still under Li Chaosheng's control. An ultimatum will be given to other overlords, and the final decisive battle will be carried out.

In the future, Lantian can only have one overlord, and that is Qingyu.

Time flies, and the days when you can't pretend are gone. Two days later, in Shili Pavilion, a small pavilion with a stone table inside, Li Chaohu took a jug of wine and poured it for himself.

After drinking a glass of wine, the cold of winter is dispelled, and the joy of spring is ushered in. The cold spring has passed, and the harvest season will follow.

stomping on...

Li Chaohu was drinking wine when smoke and dust billowed not far away, followed by a group of people. It turned out to be Liu Zongmin from Dongtangyu. When Liu Zongmin arrived, he saw Li Chaohu, especially Li Chaohu, who was sitting next to Li Chaohu and yawning. After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Zhaizhu Zhang."

Seeing this, Li Chaohu laughed and said, "Zong Min, you are here, where is your village master?"

Liu Zongmin was taken aback and said, "My village master is not feeling well, this time I will come for him."

After hearing this, Li Chaohu said: "Come, sit down, and have a drink with me."

Li Chaohu poured Liu Zongmin a glass of wine while talking, Liu Zongmin looked at the wine, Li Chaohu smiled and said: "I'll take a sip first, don't worry I didn't poison you, I haven't acted like that."

While talking here, Li Chaohu poured himself another glass of wine, drank it down, followed by looking at Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin just drank the wine, Li Chaohu smiled and said: "Zongmin, you are a pretty person. If you like it, have another drink."

As he spoke, he poured another glass for Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin drank it again. At this time, Li Chaohu looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "Zongmin, what do you think of me, Qingyu?"

Liu Zongmin replied: "The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the posture of Dazhai."

Li Chaohu nodded when he heard the words: "Haha...does Zong Min want to become a commander in our village?"

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin cupped his hands and said: "Brother treats me well, thank you for your kindness, Zongmin may not follow orders."

After hearing this, Li Chaohu laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking, don't worry about it."

Liu Zongmin smiled, but his heart skipped a beat. Listening to his tone, he should have guessed it. This Qingyu is restless. Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin held his saber calmly. This year may not be a real Hongmen Banquet Bar.

Just at this moment, someone came from far away, it turned out to be Daiyu's team, this time it was a strange face from Daiyu, after arriving, Li Chaohu didn't even pay attention to her, and the people who followed Gu Zhibai also came Li Chaohu looked at these two people, and said with a dark face: "Can you two represent your village master? This one ear, and Gu Zhibai, don't pay much attention to Qingyu, they won't come , even if the commander-in-chief is sent here, it makes sense, but sending you unknown people, hmph, you are as cowardly as a mouse."

Li Chaohu said viciously, his eyes widened, and the two bandits didn't even dare to say a word. At this moment, Li Chaohu looked at a few people and said, "Okay, since everyone has come, I'll talk about it, because there is a famine in Shaanxi right now. Seriously, the people are in dire straits. I, Qingyu, decided to save the common people. However, my current strength is still weak, and I need the help of your families. That is to say, go back and tell your village masters, let them lead the people to my Qingyu to discuss the merger with me. There can only be one overlord in Lantian, and that is me, Qingyu, did you hear that?"

After hearing this, the representatives of the other three forces all looked at Li Chaohu. You really want to annex Lantian, thinking that the representatives of the three forces looked at each other and went back to prepare for the war.
