Chapter 392 Sun Chuanting: Hitting Lantian?Do you want the old man to mutiny?

Don’t dare, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are all in contact with Lan Tian, ​​and Lu Xiangsheng is almost there, because Lu Xiangsheng only relies on Lan Tian for firearms, but Lu Xiangsheng is not stupid, he knows that Li Chaosheng dared to sell him firearms, there must be countermeasures If there is no means of countermeasures, with Li Chaosheng's character of monkey spirit, how could he sell such a big killer as grenade to himself.

Speaking of grenades, Lu Xiangsheng had to say that it was too powerful. During the process of encircling and suppressing Gao Yingxiang, his 200-member forward team of the former army encountered Li Zicheng's [-] elites who were preparing to rescue Gao Yingxiang near Luliang Mountain in Shanxi.

At that time, 200 people fought against Li Zicheng's 5000 people. Relying on the advantage of the terrain, they used a thousand grenades in their hands to forcibly nail Li Zicheng's 5000 people to Luliang Mountain.

After Lu Xiangsheng's rescue, the battle was won, and the battle loss ratio was calculated after the war. Lu Xiangsheng's 28 striker team died 5000 people, and Li Zicheng's 2000 people were killed more than [-] people, and the battle loss ratio was as high as [-]. One hundred to one.

After that battle, Lu Xiangsheng really saw the power of grenades. Although Lu Xiangsheng felt that his soldiers were more elite than Li Zicheng's, if he sent 3 people, Lantian would send 2000 people with enough grenades regardless of the cost. In dangerous places, Lu Xiangsheng's 3 people can definitely be put to death in place.

The next step is to fight the war of attrition, and in the war of attrition, Lu Xiangsheng feels that Daming must be the first to fail. The more Lu Xiangsheng understands Lantian, the more frightened he feels, and the more he cooperates with Lantian, the more he feels that Lantian is unfathomable.

Lan Tian actually developed to a terrible situation without everyone in Daming noticing it. The more Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't fight against Lan Tian, ​​so Lu Xiangsheng also said that he couldn't see Li Chaosheng's outrageous things, and Lu Xiangsheng still There is a small thought, that is, northern Shaanxi is really miserable, ten rooms and nine empty spaces, all of which have been smashed to pieces, and a great talent like Li Chaosheng is needed to develop the withered northern Shaanxi again. A huge credit.

Moreover, there is a third reason why Lu Xiangsheng does not want to turn against Li Chaosheng, that is, Lu Xiangsheng used almost all of Li Chaosheng's firearms last time, and this time he seized some of Gao Yingxiang's belongings. It's a grenade.

This thing is really easy to use.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to turn his back on Li Chaosheng, so Sun Chuanting didn't dare to turn his back on Li Chaosheng. Sun Chuanting's subordinates were Qin Jun, and Lantian people accounted for one-third of them, and they were all Lantian sons.

Although they obeyed Sun Chuanting's command and were extremely brave in battle, but you, Sun Chuanting, said that I would try to fight against Lantian.

These people dared to turn against Sun Chuanting on the spot.

Do they know what it means to turn their faces?The Qin army, representing Sun Chuanting, lost its command in an instant. You must know that Lantian people occupy all the logistics supplies of Sun Chuanting's department, and the command layer in the army also occupies more than half.

It's not that Sun Chuanting wants to delegate power to the Lantian people, but that the Lantian people are too powerful, whether it is military ability or management ability, they are much better than those big-headed soldiers who don't understand anything.

Sun Chuanting worked very hard to suppress the Lantian faction, and even felt a little shameless, so he suppressed the strength of the Lantian faction in the army to one-half. The Qin army, which is only counted as an elite, will collapse in an instant.

Sun Chuanting can't help it. If he didn't have the support of Lantian people when the Qin army was formed, he would be a hammer. Let alone the Qin army with nearly 2 people, I'm afraid it can't even gather 1000 people.

Don't think he is the governor of Shaanxi, it's useless, it all depends on Li Chaosheng's face, and he doesn't dare to turn his face, Sun Chuanting dare not imagine what will happen if there is a rebellion in Lantian one day.

Because at that time, it was absolutely devastating, and no one could stop Lan Tian's pace, and he was afraid because he knew it.

To say that when he first came to Xi'an from the capital to serve as the governor, he was full of ambition and felt that he could break arms with Li Chaosheng, but now that he really understands Lantian County, Sun Chuanting is no longer as confident as before.

There is a saying that is very suitable for Sun Chuanting, fearless because of ignorance, and fearful because of understanding.

So when Master Li Chaolong was advancing from Baishui County to northern Shaanxi at a speed of [-] miles per day together with Master Shi Dalei who set off from Tongchuan, the three big men pretended to be dead and pretended not to know.

The three gangsters captured Gao Yingxiang alive, and the army returned to Li Zicheng's hometown, Mizhi County, Yulin, Shaanxi Province. The three gangsters met in the county government of Mizhi County.

"Master Sun."

"Master Hong."

"Lord Lu."

The three of them held their fists together to salute, and then sat down respectively. At this time, the subordinates brought out the food. The food for marching and fighting was not too particular. Each person had two sweet potatoes, plus a piece of pork leg, and each person had a jug of wine.

The three poured a glass each, and Hong Chengchou raised his glass first.

He has the largest official here, the governor of the three sides, and Shaanxi is his station, so he naturally has to toast as the host.

"First of all, congratulations on our victory and the elimination of the bandit leader Gao Yingxiang. The destruction of the bandits of the Ming Dynasty is not far away, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner."

After hearing this, the three of them had a drink together. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Master Hong, Gao Yingxiang is now in my army, and I don't know what to do next."

Hong Chengchou said: "I have ordered people to send it to the capital urgently for eight hundred miles. His Majesty should know the good news tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Well, that's very good. Now that the bandit leader has been caught, then we just need to send some troops into Shanxi to defeat Li Zicheng, and one of them to Hubei to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, and the troubles of the bandits of the Ming Dynasty will be eliminated."

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting both nodded, but their expressions were not very relaxed. The three of them looked at each other and stopped talking.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting took the lead and said: "Everyone don't say anything, the old man just said a few words, the direction of the wind has changed a bit today, and the reputation of Lantian County is getting worse and worse. Some people even rumored that Li Chaosheng in Lantian is the second highest in the Ming Dynasty. From the heart, what do you two adults think?"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou chuckled and said, "What do you think, Mr. Sun? Gao Yingxiang? It would be great if Li Chaosheng was Gao Yingxiang. This person is more than a hundred times vicious than Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang is just a bandit, and Li Chaosheng..."

Hong Chengchou said half of what he said and stopped talking. Some things cannot be explained thoroughly, and it is meaningless to explain them thoroughly.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng poured himself a glass of wine. Sun Chuanting looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "What do you think of the court's words, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of wine and said, "Master Sun, I don't know what the court said, but the only thing I know is that this bandit has just been pacified, Your Majesty must rest and recuperate, and don't start fighting again. Could Li Chaosheng be Hong Chengchou?" Second, I don’t know, but if the imperial court takes the lead in fighting against Lan Tian, ​​the odds of winning are slim.”

After Lu Xiangsheng said this, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou looked at each other, and Hong Chengchou said for a long time: "What Master Lu said is very true. Except for the troops under the three of us, only the Liaodong army can fight. Tartars, if His Majesty is really bewitched by those ministers and wants to fight against Lan Tian, ​​I'm afraid you and I will bear the brunt of it."

Sun Chuanting narrowed his eyes when he heard the words and said: "Master Lu's words are true. We are three swords, especially after defeating Gao Yingxiang. In the eyes of His Majesty, we are peerless soldiers. We can fight any enemy, but if we fight against Lantian, I'm afraid I have to rely on these two dear friends, I am not afraid of your jokes, one-third of my Qin army is from Lantian, if I really attack Lantian, the news may not have spread to the Chinese army, and my army has already mutinied. "

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou smiled wryly and said: "Master Sun, although there are not many people in Lantian under my command, all the military supplies I use are supplied by Lantian. The soldiers regard Lantian as their relatives. If I dare to say that we are going to fight Lantian at this time, my army Even if they don't mutiny, they are absolutely passive and sabotage, and they have no fighting spirit. If such an army competes with those tigers and wolves in Lantian, they will die miserably on the spot."

After saying this, the two looked at Lu Xiangsheng in unison. Here, Lu Xiangsheng is the one who is the least dependent on Lantian. Or should the imperial court order Lu Xiangsheng to do this dirty work?

Lu Xiangsheng smiled wryly and said: "Brothers, you are not Lantian's opponent. Brother, how could I be Lantian's opponent? To tell you the truth, I have a firearms deal with Lantian. Lantian has a firearm called a grenade. In the battle of Luliang Mountain, I All 200 people fought back with [-] grenades. Li Zicheng’s most refined [-] elites, and this kind of firearm, Lantian can sell it to me. How much do you think Lantian will have in stock? , Sending thousands of people to use grenades can block my tens of thousands of troops, and then we will fight a war of attrition with Lantian, two brothers, do you think I can win?"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting smiled wryly and said, "Fight a war of attrition with Lantian? How is this possible, not to mention the current Daming that is riddled with holes, even the daimyo treasury in the Tianqi period cannot bear the consumption of Lantian."

Hong Chengchou took a sip of wine and said rather bitterly: "Lantian Li Chaosheng is a great talent I have ever met who knows how to govern the country. If he meets a Ming Lord and takes him as the first assistant of the cabinet, the Ming Dynasty may return to the top. , As for the Liaodong Tartars, it's scabies."

Hearing Sun Chuanting's words, Lu Xiangsheng agreed quite a bit. In terms of military warfare, they didn't see any handsome talents in Lantian.

But even so, there is no solution, because in the face of powerful firearms, any art of war is pale and powerless.

But when it comes to governing the region, famous officials through the ages like Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng who are as proud as Hong Chengchou have to give a thumbs up and say admiration.

There is no way, Li Chaosheng's ability to govern the local area has given Hong Chengchou and others a lot of insight. Li Chaosheng can develop to where he is today with a small Lantian County and a small land.

And now Li Chaosheng's territory is not very big, he only occupies the southern Shaanxi area, but Li Chaosheng dares to challenge the huge Ming Empire with the mere southern Shaanxi area, and even dare to confront the huge Ming Empire, but what about Daming?

But they didn't dare to confront him. It can be seen that Li Chaosheng's ability, Hong Chengchou and the three of them all agree with Li Chaosheng's ability, but the more they agree, the more difficult this matter is. What should we do?
The wind direction of the court was obviously not good. At this time, they were unwilling to turn against Li Chaosheng. For a while, the three of them fell into silence. Left and right, but fighting Lantian is like hitting a stone with an egg. Your life and death are trivial matters, but if Li Chaosheng is forced to turn against him, the harm will be far greater than that of the rogues. The Great Ming Guozuo may be destroyed here. We are here Don't watch Da Ming slide into the abyss."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting said: "Master Hong is very true, but what if His Majesty makes an order?"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou said: "Although the leader of the rogue bandits was put to death, Li Zicheng's tribe in Shanxi is still making trouble. I want to apply to the imperial court to go to Shanxi to suppress the bandits."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Master Hong said that a few days ago, our military scouts found Tartar cavalry in Xuanfu. They may intend to go south, so we have to investigate. Our department will return to Xuanfu immediately to defend borders to prevent the Tartars from detaining them."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked at the two of them and said: "You two adults have places to go, so Sun can't be willing to be subordinated to others. Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei excavated the imperial tomb, which is a big treason. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I will serve as an army to kill this official. The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty."

The three of them glanced at each other and suddenly laughed. They felt a lot more relaxed for a while. At this time, the Lantian County was planned. I don’t know if that clever guy sat in the room and thought it up. If you have been to Lantian and fought with the Lantian army Hello, you won't have such a stupid idea, Lantian's horror is not what you can see on the surface.

The three of them made up their minds not to antagonize Lan Tian, ​​and that clever man was meeting his accomplice in the capital at this time.

The news of the great victory in northern Shaanxi was sent to the capital at the expedited speed of [-] li at the mansion of Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War in the capital. After Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he was very excited, as if he saw the appearance of the great Ming Zhongxing.

Yang Sichang also got the news at the first time. The news that Zhang Xianzhong was willing to make peace had reached Yang Sichang the day before yesterday. Now that Gao Yingxiang has been arrested, the bandits in northern Shaanxi have all disappeared, and Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei is also willing to accept the law. Only Li Zicheng in Shanxi is left. He is still alive, but Li Zicheng has also been dealt with by Lu Xiangsheng, and it will not be a matter of time, and it will be a matter of time before he is wiped out.

All the thieves in the world seemed to disappear overnight. Now that the thieves disappeared, Li Chaosheng of Lantian could take care of them. After all, the big piece of fat in Lantian was really too fat, and he also represented the southern scholar-bureaucrat group Already salivating, impatient.

In Yang Sichang's study, an old pedant and a strong young man were waiting here.

As soon as Yang Sichang came in, the two saluted together.

"I met Master Yang."

Yang Sichang looked at the two of them and said: "You are welcome, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, I invite you to come here today, I think you already know what is going on?"
