After Li Laiheng finished speaking, Niu Jinxing touched the gray-white beard and said, "Duke Lin must not underestimate the enemy. Since Yu Wan has repeatedly defeated many with fewer people, it means that this person is definitely not an ordinary person. I suggest that you should just hold the troops first and wait until you find out the situation of the Qingming army before attacking."

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng shook his head like a rattle, "The army's food and grass can only be supplied for ten days, so we can't waste it anymore, let alone I have dozens of red cannons. What's the fear of a small Jiangxia? Liu Zongmin and Li Laiheng obey the order!"

The two responded and said in a deep voice, "The last one is here!"

"I will assign 30,000 troops to you. Liu Zongmin is the chief general, Li Laiheng is the deputy general. He will not be able to take down Jiang Xia to see you within three days!"

"Get orders!"

Liu Zongmin and Li Laiheng walked out with the tokens, but Niu Jinxing looked at the map on the desktop intently, frowned as if no one was around, and thought deeply. Li Zicheng called him several times before he came to his senses.

"Long lively, in fact, if we want to attack Hanjing, we don't have to seize Jiangxia."

Li Zicheng got up and walked slowly, looked at the map and pondered for a while before saying, "The mountains and rivers in Henan and Hubei are spread all over thousands of miles. The closest distance from Jiangxia to Hanjing, if you want to bypass the mountains, it will take at least more than a month to reach Hanjing..."

Before he finished speaking, Niu Jinxing smiled and pointed to the northwest corner of Yingshan and said, "There is a river at the junction of the two major mountain systems of Henan and Hubei, called Xishui. The mountain here is relatively flat and accessible to the army. We might as well send a surprise soldier to smuggle Xishui and go straight to the capital!"

Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows, stared at the map for a while before he stroking his palm and laughed, "It's still the prime minister's stubbornness. The Ming army would never have thought we would do this! Yuan Zongdi, I will give you another 20,000 elite soldiers, and Mingye will smuggle Xishui and attack Hanjing!"

———

The peasant army was dispatching troops and the Anqing army was not idle either. The next morning, a news spread in Jiangxia City was like this: Zhenming Hou Yu Wan was going to open the grain warehouse, and everyone had a share to finish it!

The temptation of this news is self-evident. What is the most precious thing in the years of chaos? Of course it is for food!

This year, they first encountered a rare drought, and then they were plundered by Xindu City, and then they were blackmailed by the Tan family several times. The people of Jiangxia even ate the seeds sown in the spring.

Just when the people were unable to support themselves, Mr. Yu actually opened the warehouse and released grain, which made them not ecstatic!

In less than two hours, the gate of the Governor's Mansion was full of people. Looking at the trucks of white rice at the gate, if thousands of officers and soldiers were not guarding them in full armed manner, they would have been stolen.

"Who is Yu Wan from? He dared to embezzle military rations from the Governor's Office without authorization. Is this kid tired of living!"

"You don't even know Yu Wan? It's so embarrassing to know you! If it weren't for this great hero who came to earth, our Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed many times! Yu Hou is not only loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but also sympathetic to the people, otherwise you wouldn't have the opportunity to come here to get rice today."

"Tsk, no matter whether he is patriotic or loving the people, now that the King of Chuang is approaching, Jiang Xia will sooner or later lose his life. After receiving this batch of food, I will take my whole family to hide in Ziyun Mountain!"

Just as the big men were talking hotly, the crowd suddenly became turbulent, "Mr. Yu is out!"

Everyone looked in the sound and saw a handsome young man in simple clothes walking out with a smile, with three men and one woman following him, all wearing armor and extraordinary heroic spirits. From a distance, he felt a strong murderous aura, and the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.

Yu Wan walked to the pile of grain in the corner, gently grabbed a handful of threshed rice, and shouted, "Dear fellow villagers, Tan Jiande and his son corrupted fish and meat, and set up a name to force the robbery. Fortunately, this thief fled for fear of his crime..."

When they heard that Tan Jiande and his son had fled to another place, the people immediately cheered like explosions, and they all ran around happily to tell each other. An old man even fainted excitedly.

Yu Wan quickly stopped everyone and continued, "Tan Jiande fled, and the folk paste he plundered in Jiangxia City naturally wanted to return the goods to the original owner."

As he said that, Yu Wan pointed to the pile of grain outside the door, "Everyone can receive one duct for free for the 20,000 ducts of grain outside the door until it is divided. As for the 100,000 ducts of grain in the mansion, it cannot be distributed for free. Those who meet the conditions I offer can receive six ducts!"

Six tracts, or 600 kilograms, are enough to support an ordinary family life for a year!

Everyone looked at Yu Wan with a gaze, "What conditions should be met?"

Yu Wan said slowly, "Join the army and follow me to kill the thieves. But this general has his own rules for recruiting people. Those who are too old should not be too young should not be too young, and they must strictly obey military discipline. Violators will be punished strictly without lending!"

Joining the army... Everyone present looked at each other. The Yu family army had only 5,000 or 6,000 troops, but the King of Chuang held a 150,000 army. Isn't it obvious that he would die?

But the temptation of six dans of food was too great. When I thought of the rice jar that had no food at home, I was ready to move again.

The expressions of the strong men were all contained in Yu Wan's eyes. He knew very well that he could take them down with just a singular voice.

Yu Wan touched her wrist and walked towards the crowd with a smile.

"I know what you are thinking, and you are afraid that the bandits will be powerful and the resistance will be dead. But what I want to tell you is that just yesterday, I took these few thousand people and killed 20,000 peasant soldiers and fled in panic!

Yes, they are indeed the number of people, but Li Chuang came from a long journey and was already at the end of his strength. As long as everyone can listen to my instructions and cooperate sincerely, I can guarantee that Li Zicheng will be allowed to go back wherever he comes from within ten days!"

After these words, the originally hesitant people all looked surging and fighting spirit, and some even lined up to sign up for the army.

Yu Wan shook twice in front of the crowd and continued, "The strong enemy is approaching, you may be able to flee in the mountains, but once the peasant army occupy Jiangxia, your fields, houses and houses will be cheaper.

Moreover, there is no food or drink in the mountains, you can endure hunger, but your wives and children are old and young. Late autumn is coming, winter is coming. In the deep mountains and forests, can you survive the long winter with just those few rag shirts?

I won’t say much nonsense. After I repel Li Zicheng, I will write a letter to the emperor to exempt you from three years of taxes, and I will no longer need to pay grain to the gentry and landlords in the future!”

As soon as these words were finished, the crowd exploded again. The conditions for joining the army were too generous, so rich that they could hardly refuse.

"Mr. Yu, we are willing to join you in battle and kill the enemy!"

With just one cup of tea, thousands of young and middle-aged men stood up and rushed to enlist in the army.

"I've been fucked and finally got these guys done."

Yu Wan secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to ask someone to organize the registration when a cold and loud voice suddenly came out.

"Don't be deceived by him. The man surnamed Yu just wants to pull you as a shield, so he can escape by himself."

As he said that, a cold man in black and hat fell down in front of the crowd.

He was seven feet tall and burly, with a very low hat under his hat, and could not see what he looked like. His whole body exuded a trembling chill, and the three-foot dagger in his hand was extremely eye-catching.

The man in black said coldly, "According to me, it's better for everyone to kill this group of officials and divide all the food into the family?"
