Chapter 123: A grand strategy starting from a small place
"Xu..."
Li Dingguo's horse's hooves were fixed on a low hill, looking at the continuous stream in front of him The undulating loess bag asked Zhang Guofeng: "Where did Yang Laoliu go?"
Zhang Guofeng took out the monocular telescope from his arms and looked ahead and said: "Less than ten miles."
Li Dingguo frowned and said: "This guy is running too slow. If he continues like this, we might not be able to catch up with the battle in Guihua City.
Let Feng Yuan lead Baiqi to intimidate him. This time it's not just about scaring, it's about killing the people at the back of the team and forcing them to speed up." Zhang Guofeng licked his lips and said, "Twenty-eight days, this guy Yang Liu. More than 2,000 people ran all the way from Qingyang Mansion to Dingxi. The number was not only large, but also reduced to the current small 6,000 people. No less than 500 people died along the way. The military morale still did not weaken. It has to be said that this This guy is a talent.
General, we can’t pursue him anymore. You have to leave time to fight the Dingxi army. If he is killed by the officers and soldiers, our plan will be ruined.”< /p>
Li Dingguo put up a pergola with his hands and looked at the gray sky in the distance and said: "Give me the order. The Dingxi government should not have the courage to fight Yang Liu head-on, and may have run away long ago.
We can't give Yang Liu any time to harm the people here. Our purpose is to drive away the government here, not to drive these bastards here to harm the people."
Zhang Guofeng saw Li Dingguo insisting, so he attacked the people. The cavalry commander Feng Yuan issued the military order, and immediately, a hundred cavalry left the military formation and rushed towards the bandit group ten miles away.
Zhang Guofeng said to Li Dingguo: "General, do you think Yang Liu understands our intention?"
Li Dingguo smiled and said: "Don't underestimate any reckless hero, five people It is called Mao, ten people are called Chosen, hundreds of people are called Jun, thousands of people are called Ying, twice Ying is called Xian, ten thousand people are called Jies, and ten thousand people are called Sages.
Others may think this is just a saying, you and me. They are all people who grew up in the rebellious army. They have witnessed countless heroes rising up, and they have also seen those heroes being killed.
This shitty God never gives anyone a moment of leisure. You need to be careful in order to survive, and you need to make progress in order to gradually broaden your path.
After Li Hongji and others left Yan'an Mansion, Yang Liu could become the big leader there. If I say this person is a leader. Do you believe that he is a fool without courage?
From Yan'an Prefecture to Qingyang Prefecture, and now to Lanzhou Guard, even though we are chasing him from behind, he can still break through countless officers and soldiers along the way. It's his ability.
You can also see that he is walking, walking slowly and slowly. He seems to know that we don't want to kill him, so he can fight and recruit at the same time. Men, if we don't kill him along the way, another giant bandit will appear."
Zhang Guofeng sneered: "He knows we have no good intentions towards him, and would rather fight with unknown officers and soldiers. NoI am willing to go back and have a good fight with us. After all, our army only has 800 people.
Do you think he has a final destination when he runs like this?
Li Dingguo said: "It's hard to guess. He must be joining Longzhong Shetantian, but I don't know what he has in mind." "
Zhang Guofeng smiled and said: "No matter what his intentions are, he has already cleaned up the government offices in Longdong and Longzhong for us. A large piece of white land has been freed up for us.
We, Lantian County, will not occupy this land, and will let the people here live freely. We will open business roads, mines, and trade to closely connect the people here with our interests.
In the future, no matter who comes, the people here will only welcome us and will not seek refuge with others. ”
Li Dingguo sighed and said: “The Eight Kings are far behind Yun Zhao. When we were strong, we had millions of people, but they were kneaded into a lump. Today, everyone grabs them.” When we arrive, we eat and drink so much that everyone will be hungry if they can’t get it tomorrow.
I have never planned for the future properly, which has resulted in the road ahead becoming narrower and narrower, to the point where I am stuck in Xiangyang, where the sky is not responding, and the earth is not working.
Nowadays, all we can do is disperse the money we robbed in the past, make friends, and bribe officials from all walks of life.
You must know that these things were originally the things we hated the most. Now that he is in power, he has done more than those corrupt officials who were executed. I don’t know what the Eight Kings think. . "
Zhang Guofeng smiled and said: "We are not bad. We were given to Lantian County as a gift. General, are you still feeling humiliated by this?
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "Yun Zhao is so good at being a man. He did not let us surrender under his feet, but made us surrender under the feet of the people of Lantian County. We ourselves have become Lantian County people, and we have become Lantian County people." I surrendered at my own feet, as if something was wrong, and as if everything could be explained.
Let’s go, Feng Yuan is already waving the flag. "
Zhang Guofeng followed Li Dingguo down the hill, reintegrated into the cavalry team, shouted and ran forward first.
Feng Yuan had just finished cleaning the battlefield.
p>In fact, there was nothing to clean up. Yang Liu's rear army ran very fast, and there were only some thieves who could not run away. They knelt down and surrendered after resisting for a while.
It's funny to say that people who can't run are not weak, but because they carry too much weight. It's difficult for a person to run fast with three big iron pots hanging on his body.
It's hard to run fast.
The thieves wearing human clothes were killed by Feng Yuan, and the thieves carrying iron pots were also killed. Feng Yuan did not spare any thieves who had property on them.
But those who died in the world were not spared. Those who were frothing at the mouth and couldn't run were saved.
After Zhang Guofeng inspected the killing situation, he was very satisfied with Feng Yuan's approach. Although he was a military judge in this army, he had not passed the test. More time to make sure every bandit has a way to die.
There is no way to ask the subordinates to only kill those who have done great evil. As long as they can simply identify them, it means they have fulfilled the laws of Lantian County.
As for being unjustly accused...these people were originally thieves who committed murder and swindled goods. They were killed because they were at the back, and surviving was purely luck.
On the chessboard of the Ming Dynasty, Lantian County is a chess piece in Yun Zhao's hands. Every chess piece in his hand is hard-won, so he never makes a move easily.
As long as a chess piece lands, it must have a big enough effect.
The current Lantian County is slowly advancing to the surrounding areas of Guanzhong in a tiled manner. Outside Guanzhong, Yunshi has laid out shining spots one after another.
If Lantian County is the base camp and a large piece of chess that has been put into action, then Guihua City is currently undergoing an intense robbery and killing, and life and death are unpredictable.
The Silver Factory is an important point. After it gradually turns into a prosperous town, it will automatically radiate to Qinghai, Ningxia, and Mongolia, turning from a point into a network, and finally It has become a living place with at least two breaths like Lantian County.
The reason why Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng wanted to drive Yang Liuqianli to fight this time was to uproot all the wastes laid by others in the past.
Li Dingguo vaguely felt that Yun Zhao's purpose was more than that. He seemed more like stabilizing the border areas. He would rather focus on the border fortresses at the beginning than rush to occupy those prosperous places.
It is still cold in Longzhong in February.
It’s just that the cold wind blowing is no longer as cold as last month, and it seems to have a trace of moisture.
The grass under the steps of the north house has quietly sprouted.
Yun Yang stood under a large bare willow tree, breathing hard.
"I really smell the stench of Li Dingguo."
The Clouded Leopard, who was sleeping in the sun, roared irritably: "Can you let me sleep for a while?"< /p>
Yunyang chuckled and said: "Are you still angry?"
Yunbao said: "That's not true. I just don't understand. Such a wasteland is worth staying here for half a month. How long?"
Yun Yang said: "Didn't I tell you that I smell the unique odor on Li Dingguo's body?"
Yun Bao said disdainfully: "You are being raped. He was beaten lightly."
Yun Yang sighed as he thought of that special competition. "His fists were very heavy."
Yun Bao said, "You and him. The gap is actually not that big, it’s just that you made the wrong mistake at the beginning, and the time of attacking a cup of tea didn’t work. Can’t you change the method you have already laid out?
You have to use up all your strength to let it go? After someone caught a small flaw and killed him with one blow, he was beaten like a dead dog." Yun Yang shook his head and said, "No, this is my temper. I just like to attack fiercely. If a long-term fierce attack doesn't work, it means I'm not good enough and I deserve to be beaten.
If I lose, I lose. I won’t make excuses for myself. "
Yun Zhao, who was sitting under the eaves basking in the sun and reading a book, heard Yun Yang say this, closed the book and said: "Yes, Lao Ba, you have really become smarter. "
Yun Yang rubbed his hands and said, "When will you send me out?
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "If it doesn't work, others can go out, but you can't, especially you can't leave Lantian County for a long time."
That is our home base. Only by running Lantian County well can we have a future. Remember, you will always guard the base camp.
After Li Dingguo finishes teaching She Tuantian and Yang Liu, we will go back to meet the Jin Yiwei Qianhu.
Tell him that we very much hope that he will continue to ruin my Yun family’s affairs. Really, I would like to thank him very much this time, if he hadn’t been here to cause trouble.
I really have no excuse to stay here for so long and properly arrange things in the northwest. If he still refuses to admit defeat, I think we can enter the four counties of Hexi next time. "
Yunbao said: "The four counties in Hexi are almost deserted now. Even if we enter, there will be no advantage to take advantage of.
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Look further, my Yun family has ushered in an era of prosperity. In the near future, this land will not be enough to accommodate my Yun family's ambitions." descendants.
I wonder if you have noticed, how many newborns have been born in Lantian County in the past few years?
If this continues, this land will not be able to support such a large population.
I want to provide them with a larger piece of land before a certain great era comes, and completely stabilize the borders.
I will now give these future careerists a channel to expand their ambitions. I want them to be content within and fight externally! ”
