Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 581 County Venerable, You Are Really Dark
The most important factor influencing the success of a person is luck. If there is no luck, one’s achievements will be limited after all. Some people say that hard work is very important, but hard work can only stabilize your lower limit, and luck is the best way to raise your ceiling. important stuff.

Just like Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, these rogues, whether they have the ability or not, they must have, but if they are not lucky, let them catch up with the chaos at the end of Ming Dynasty, they may have the highest achievement as a thousand commander, or even a centurion That's their limit.

There is no way, the society has solidified, and if you want to break the class, you need ten times or even dozens of times of effort to do it.

There is a good saying that the times make heroes, that's right, heroes and heroes, one of the most necessary conditions for their birth is the times.

Zhang Xianzhong was severely watched by Yang Sichang in Hubei. If he wanted to stand up, he could only fight guerrilla warfare, and he didn't know when the guerrilla warfare would be fought. But at this time, Li Zicheng had a big trouble in Kaifeng. After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Sichang was finally allowed to enter Henan to quell the chaos.

Once Yang Sichang left, wouldn't Zhang Xianzhong's life get better?

Isn't there no force in the whole of Hubei that can stop Zhang Xianzhong?
At this moment, Ai Nengqi looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said: "What the righteous father said is very true. Once Yang Sichang leaves, we can grow stronger in Hubei, take the opportunity to swallow Hubei, and take Hubei as the basis to annex Shuzhong. If both belong to Let's, can't we dominate the world?"

Ai Nengqi said excitedly, but Sun Kewang, Zhang Xianzhong, and even Liu Wenxiu all looked at Ai Nengqi with expressions of caring for mentally handicapped children. Get angry.

"Father, big brother, third brother, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Ai Nengqi looked at the eyes looking at him, and he felt uncomfortable. After all, Ai Nengqi is not really a fool. At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Third brother, please tell the fourth one."

"Now Lantian has turned the copper money into the land of Woniu Mountain in Kuimen and turned it into them. At their speed, within two years, the whole of Hubei will belong to Lantian. If we continue to stay in Hubei, we will face Lantian sooner or later. Do you think we have a chance of winning against Lan Tian?"

"Our Lantian is famous for its benevolence and righteousness. Of course, Zhang Xianzhong, a vile person like Zhang Xianzhong, is required to do this murderous dirty business. We must keep our innocence in the world."

As an old fan of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew the gap.

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng puzzled, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Being on the pole is not a business. Besides, Hubei is full of forces. There are a lot of local tyrants and evil gentry. We can send troops to occupy it. If we can manage it later, it will be a big trouble. So, it’s better to ignore it and let Zhang Xianzhong clean up these stubborn old forces, and then take them back. At that time, only the poor people will be left, and it will be easier to manage.”

Gu Zi said: "Three days ago, Yang Sichang's entire army was mobilized, and he also transferred troops to Henan, leaving Hubei instantly vacant."

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "Hey, Zhang Xianzhong is just keeping the money for us. Soon, Zhang Xianzhong will ask us to send the money."

Li Chaosheng touched his chin and smiled after hearing this: "Yang Sichang's military vision is still good. If he can stop Li Zicheng in Xuzhou, Li Zicheng's pace of attacking Luoyang will definitely be slowed down. At that time, Daming will draw troops from the surrounding area to form a Encircled, Li Zicheng is likely to fall short this time."

"Naturally, the county honor."

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head when he heard the words: "Yes, I said that we don't want the land in Hubei, but I never said that I don't want to take the wealth in Hubei. Now that Yang Sichang is gone, we can continue our plan. Order, as long as Yang Sichang leaves Hubei, all the troops will be broken up into pieces, and he will start to gather his subordinates, wealth, and food in Hubei. I may not get this piece of land in Hubei, but I will take away everything on this land, not at all. Leave it to Li Chaosheng, not to Lantian."

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hands and said, "No rush."

Li Chaosheng attaches great importance to food. In this era, as long as the food is safe, the people will follow you willingly. If you can't even guarantee the food for the people, then you don't have to try to be a king.

"Yes, I have food in my hand, and he has money in his hand. I am not short of money, so I am not in a hurry to sell, but he is short of food, and he is in a hurry to buy. Who should set the price?"

At this time, Sun Kewang looked at Ai Nengqi's puzzled expression and said with a smile: "Central Sichuan is the foundation of a career. Fourth, you must have heard this sentence. One man should be the gate and ten thousand men should not be opened. It is about Shu." Dao, let's occupy the middle of Shu, close the Shu Road, concentrate on development, and let the group of heroes in the Central Plains fight first. At that time, Li Chaosheng and Li Zicheng are exhausted, and we will just reap the benefits of the fisherman. The adoptive father's overall plan."

"Lantian?"

Now except for Lantian, the people outside were starving to death due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. These grains were prepared by Li Chaosheng for sale or for disaster relief.

Gu Zi: "Astronomical figures."

And Gu Zi also knows another idea of ​​the county lord. The county lord once said that the rogues are also common people, and the common people are Lantian’s property, so selling grain to the rogues is equivalent to feeding Lantian’s future property, so this transaction is worthless no matter what. earned.

Gu Zi heard the words: "Zhang Xianzhong, will he loot the local tyrants and evil gentry in Hubei?"

Gu Zi heard this and said, "Li Zicheng is not so easy to deal with."

Zhang Xianzhong expressed his thoughts, defending Shuzhong and defending Hubei are two levels of battle, the place of the Four Wars in Hubei, during the Three Kingdoms period, this place is the famous Jingzhou.

Liu Wenxiu was also flattering at the side at this time. Zhang Xianzhong was very comfortable being photographed by his two sons, and he also liked the compliments from his two sons. Although he knew that he might not be so good, who could say no to Rainbow Fart?
Ai Nengqi rubbed his head and said, "That's true, so let's gather the troops and enter Shuzhong?"

"Excessive, but he can't help it."

Ai Nengqi looked confused, and Liu Wenxiu said: "Isn't that Luo Rucai's bastard causing trouble? For a woman, Li Chaosheng had a reason to send soldiers to Hubei. The soldiers in Lantian, the people in Lantian, that is a group of Moths, as long as Lantian has a piece of land in Hubei, they will soon enclose all the surrounding land into their sphere of influence."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "That's right, except for our Lantian, every state in the world has been affected by natural disasters, and the food harvest has failed, and Hubei is no exception. Even if Zhang Xianzhong raids Hubei, it may not be able to meet the food and grass needed by his army." , and at this time he has money in hand, he must find a way to buy food and grass, so let me ask the world, who has extra food and grass in their hands?"

They will first bring soldiers into the village, ransack the landlord's house and wipe it out, and then force the owner-peasant to burn down his house and field, forcing them to become rogues.

"What do you mean by the county lord? Since you intend to take in these people, why don't you just send troops to occupy them?"

"So before he enters Shuzhong, there may be a large-scale cleansing. The first thing is to rob food and money. Only when he has food and money can he dare to plot in Shuzhong. Both food and money are in the hands of local tyrants and evil gentry, so Zhang Xianzhong That killer will definitely be purged, and this happens to be in our interests."

"That's right, fourth child, foster father has already considered all the things that can be considered, as long as you and I follow the path of foster father, we will have a bright future in the future."

"Then it's not too much to sell our food several times more expensive than usual."

Li Chaosheng has been in power for so many years, and he has come to a conclusion that his status, power, and prestige are all because he has fed the common people. When the common people are full, they will use all their strength to lift themselves to that place. The location, even if you don't want to stay, they will force you to go up there.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong will be able to obtain countless treasures, food, and homeless refugees who can only follow him to the dark. Zhang Xianzhong is too familiar with this, and he has done this more than once.

"County Honor, urgent call from Hubei."

"Even if we really have to, we can burn the plank road, so our defense is easier."

Liu Wenxiu looked at Ai Nengqi, Ai Nengqi heard the words and looked at Liu Wenxiu and said: "No, but if we don't fight, even if we enter Shuzhong and occupy Shuzhong in the future, if Lantian wants Shuzhong, we can't fight Lan Tian!"

Liu Wenxiu sighed and said, "Fourth brother, this Shuzhong may belong to us, but this Hubei does not belong to us, it belongs to Lantian."

Gu Zi said, looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Master, the Hubei garrison asked our headquarters, do you want to take the opportunity to take down a few counties and expand our territory in Hubei?"

Zhang Xianzhong got angry, he would not leave anything of value to Lantian, he would leave Lantian a mess.

There is one Jingzhou and one Yizhou. Anyone who has read the Three Kingdoms knows that the two defenses are difficult. The Shu Han can have a three-point foundation, isn't it because Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack?

Guzi's eyes lit up. He has been in business these years. Did he know that the price of a commodity multiplied several times? , the money will have to be named Li sooner or later.

Zhang Xianzhong is a vicious person. After he was sure that he could not get this piece of land in Hubei, he immediately ordered a brutal search for this piece of land.

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, no matter how fierce and prestigious they are, they are also pawns in Li Chaosheng's eyes. Li Chaosheng regards the world as a chess game, and these momentary heroes are just pieces on his chess game. .

Gu Zi frowned slightly when he heard the words, looked at Li Chaosheng and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, but all the money of those local tyrants and evil gentry goes to Zhang Xianzhong, this is too wasteful."

"Once in the middle of Shu, you can go in and plan the world, and you can retreat to a corner. This is the great talent and strategy of the foster father. Every time I think of it, I admire you as a brother."

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng in confusion, Li Chaosheng laughed and said: "I still don't understand, okay, then let me make it clear to you, Gu Zi Zhang Xianzhong wants to enter Sichuan, don't even think about it without a 20 army, and 20 How much rations does the army need?"

At the Lantian County Office, Li Chaosheng is looking at the harvest of this year's summer grain and at the same time formulating a grain plan for this year. Although the grain in Lantian is enough for the people to live comfortably and even be wasted, Li Chaosheng does not allow waste to be born.

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Don't worry, let the ministries in Hubei guard their existing territories and protect the people. In addition, notify the ministries to provide compensation for the refugees who ran into our territory. When the right time comes, These refugees will all be the people of Lantian."

"What does the county respect mean?"

After hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi clasped their fists together and said, "Decree!"

Li Chaosheng said: "Yes, although these local tyrants and evil gentry are scum in our eyes, they are treasures in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes. Zhang Xianzhong's army salary and food all need these local tyrants and evil gentry to provide them, and Zhang Xianzhong is now taking our Lantian He hated it to the bottom of his heart, and was also afraid to the bottom of his heart, so he didn't dare to confront us and raise objections, and he didn't even dare to compete with us for Hubei."

Li Chaosheng was reading the documents there, when Guzi arrived as scheduled, and opened the door with the information he just received in his hand, Li Chaosheng put down the document in his hand after hearing this, and said, "Yang Sichang has left?"

"Hehe...the county magistrate of course." Gu Zi laughed.

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Well, five days ago, Yang Sichang took the lead in dispatching his general He Renlong to take [-] troops from his headquarters and gallop to Henan in a starry night. He wanted to enter Xuzhou before Li Zicheng attacked Xuzhou. Xuzhou builds a defensive line to delay Li Zicheng's attack on Luoyang."

After hearing these words, the expressions of Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang, and Ai Nengqi all became ugly. Finally, Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said, "Shuzhong is no different than Hubei. Hubei is a place of four wars. It is not suitable for defense, but it is different in Shuzhong. China has been the land of abundance since ancient times, and the road of Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In Hubei, we may face the guns and artillery in Lantian, which may be very difficult, but in Sichuan, as long as we guard the road of Shu, we can fight with fewer people. Hold Shuzhong."

Ai Nengqi was puzzled again, looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Father, didn't you say that we can't have Hubei? Since Hubei can't have it, why are we still here?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether Li Zicheng can deal with it well or not. The important thing is that the strategic deployment is okay."

Thinking about it, Gu Zi already understood Li Chaosheng's thoughts. Li Chaosheng hoped that Zhang Xianzhong would clean up the stubborn local tyrants and evil gentry in Hubei, and then send someone to take over with ease, without bearing the reputation of cruelty.

Thinking of Guzi, he couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Li Chaosheng, who looked indifferent and even a bit unfathomable. Zhang Xianzhong did all the dirty, tiring, and immoral work, and the county magistrate didn't do anything, but got For the greatest benefit, whether it is land, population, or money, it is ultimately the county's honor.

What's even more exaggerated is that Zhang Xianzhong exhausted himself and finished everything. He thought he had taken advantage of it, but he didn't know that he was just working for the county lord again, and the county lord didn't receive Zhang Xianzhong's favor from you. I respect you for being black-hearted.

At this moment, Gu Zi even felt somewhat sympathetic to Zhang Xianzhong, the poor boy was being used as a gun, but he didn't know it.
