Chapter 114 Nails, Nails

The slaughtering of winter means that everything has entered a dormant period.

The winter of the tenth year of Chongzhen was very strange.

When almost all the rebels and robbers began to open up wasteland and farm, only the Ming government came as promised on the first winter in the Ming Dynasty, where there were almost no bandits.

The land reclamation in Lantian County has long become a habit. With a complete set of livestock tools and a uniform planning, people built reservoirs and renovated land at an unprecedented speed.

Zhang Bingzhong's general Sun Kewang also used a whip to drive the cows and horses and the families of the rebels to replant the fields around Xiangyang at an unprecedented speed.

After the Hancheng Battle, Li Hongji took only more than fifty cavalry and fled from the battlefield and hurried into Shanxi.

Unexpectedly, when he entered Shanxi, he thought he could make a comeback with the help of Shen Yikui's power, but unexpectedly, Shen Yikui died of illness and his subordinates had already scattered and surrendered everywhere.

After two attacks, Li Hongji, who was helpless, killed many ill-hearted bandits, but was unable to gain a foothold in Shanxi and had to enter Henan again.

When he arrived in Mengjin, Li Hongji, who was surging the Yellow River, wanted to return to Shaanxi again, remembered Yun Zhao's gloomy face, and finally sighed and brought more than 700 people who had finally gathered to the Gucheng Mountain.

Mengjin has been looted several times, and it has long since disappeared from the grand occasion of Mengjin's ferry in the past.

After plundering the poor Mengjin County Government, Li Hongji was exhausted and had to rest in Kucheng Mountain.

There was not much grain stored and the surrounding counties were almost empty. At no cost, Li Hongji had to take his subordinates to farm in Guchengshan.

A fire burned the weeds on the southern hillside. Li Hongji was the first to carry a hoe and walked into the wasteland full of grass and ash, burying his head to open up the land.

If this field cannot be replanted and planted in the beginning of spring, next year, if the situation does not change significantly, they will have to wander again.

At this moment, it was too dangerous to wander on the relatively calm land of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone with a little force in his hands wanted to capture him, the former King of Rebellion, and ask the court for rewards.

The flames passed by the emperor, and a huge rock covered by weeds appeared in Li Hongji's eyes, trampling on the warm land. Li Hongji came to the front of the huge rock. On a whim, he actually found axe and chiseled it. He spent a whole day to chisel a huge word "天天" on this huge rock!

Guchengshan!

"At the foot of Jibei Kuangcheng Mountain, Huangshi Gong is me!"

Li Hongji stroked the word "安" that had just been engraved and whispered: "Zhang Liang had Huang Shigong teach the divine book and then make achievements.

Where is the Huangshi Gong of a certain family?"

Li Guo, his nephew, who was almost the same age as him, saw his uncle standing by the rock for a long time and not leaving, so he came over carefully: "King of Chuang, don't think too much. It's time to go back and rest."

Li Hongji said: "I am not lucky, and I will never have a good result when I get into trouble twice and I will cause you."

Li Guo laughed and said, "How is this way than our uncle and nephew in the border village?"

Lee Hongji said: "Yes, it's great to start over, but this time, we can't repeat the same mistakes."

Li Jiao said: "What my uncle said is that our first group of old brothers are here. As long as we cultivate and rest, we will let our brothers go everywhere to recruit troops. Within two years, we will have another 100,000 soldiers."

Li Hongji leaned over and pinched a handful of soil and said, "The world is gradually stable, which is extremely unfavorable to us."

Li Guo picked up a stone from the ashes and threw it out from a distance and said, "Li Jin said that the world will not be stable for too long.

Lantian Yun's family is already aggressive, and it is not a long-term solution for Zhang Bingzhong to live in Xiangyang. As long as his uncle waits for these two people to pull the flag again, we will definitely have a chance to rise again in the troubled times."

Li Hongji shook his head and said, "The Yun family is rich and unwilling to be united with me. At that time, we sent someone to contact the Yun family, hoping that they could start a riot in southern Shaanxi and attack our northern Shaanxi rebel army from north to south. He said that he would have taken down Xi'an City long ago, and then use Guanzhong as the foundation to march into Henan and Shanxi, like a grassland fire, it will surely sweep the world.

Over the years, Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Rucai, I have sent envoys to me, and there were as many as six people going there, but unfortunately, only three people came back.

Whether it is coercion or good things, Yun's family is not in trouble. I even think that he looks down on us from the bottom of his heart.

They are all heroes in the green forest, only he, the Yun family, claims to be noble and superior in every place.

Nowadays, people have become senior officials of the court. Although they have not joined forces with the court to attack us, they have issued a confinement order to us in Shaanxi.

If we could return to Guanzhong, why would we fall here?"

Li Guo put away the axe thrown by Li Hongji, looked at the ugly word "tolerance" on the stone and sighed: "You still have to endure..."

Li Hongji smiled and said, "What you said just now is right, it is a thousand times better than when we were in the border village.

We have nothing, and we have nothing to do with nothing. As long as our brothers are there and as long as this troubled times are not over, our brothers will sooner or later turn over."

Li Guo looked solemn, but Li Hongji seemed to have poured out all the depression in his heart after carving the word "完".

He turned around and told Li Jiao: "We still have to recruit soldiers!"

Li Guo smiled bitterly and said, "This is nature, this is nature!"

Under the dark light, Yun Zhao and Li Dingguo's faces were half hidden in the darkness and half exposed to the light, revealing the faces of the two conspirators.

The map on the table has been messed up with charcoal strokes.

"Why do you think the Mongols will help you attack the Jianzhou people?

These two times I pretended to be a Jiannu. Every time I was about to win, you would send a Mongolian cavalry to destroy my food route and surround me from behind. What is the reason?"

Li Dingguo's eyes were almost filled with fire.

Yun Zhao whispered: "I have a Mongolian emirate."

"This is impossible. The Mongols are our old enemy and there is no possibility of reconciliation."

"I did not reconcile with the Mongols, I just encouraged them to become independent and encouraged the poor Mongols to live a good life with the Han people."

"Who will believe you?"

"When people are extremely poor, there is basically nothing that cannot betrayed. Just like our Han parents, they can do things like selling children and daughters in order to eat in one bite."

"So the Mongols are willing to follow you?"

"They don't want to follow me at all. They follow their food, and I only have the food."

"I heard that life on the grassland is not difficult."

"What Gao Jie and his friends do on the grassland is to make those Mongolians who can barely survive."

Hearing Yun Zhao say this, Li Dingguo stood up, held the table and looked at Yun Zhao and said, "What is the difference between what you do on the grassland and what we do in the Central Plains?"

Yun Zhao also looked at Li Ding Guodao: "Maybe more cruel than you. We will take away the cattle and sheep that can be taken away, and we will kill the cattle and sheep that cannot be taken away."

"Why do you want to do such things that harm others and not benefit yourself?"

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "In order to make those shepherds lose everything, we can only follow us! In order to greatly weaken the power of Jiannu, and to prevent the Mongols from having a chance to make a comeback."

Li Dingguo sat back on the chair and said lightly: "Do you really have your power among the Mongolians?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "A lot, and it is still expanding rapidly."

"So, when you fight on the grassland in the future, you will be the main force of the troops and the Mongolian cavalry as the auxiliary, right?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "No, our troops will often act as the supervisor."

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "The strategy is very poisonous. It is a good idea to make the Jianzhou people fight bloody battles with the Mongolians. The problem is that no one in this world is a fool, including the Mongolians."

"It will not be too difficult after the Mongols and Jianzhou people become enemies with deep blood hatred."

Zhang Guofeng really couldn't stand the appearance of these two people, so she simply found two oil lamps and lit them together. There were three lamps in a small room, which suddenly became bright.

"The power of Lantian County has broken through Guanzhong and reached Mianchi County?" Li Dingguo sat upright, looking very humble.

Yun Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "Li Hongji has become a weed in Kucheng Mountain, so I appointed Lantian County to Mianchi County with a false sense of power, just because I didn't want him to plot against Guanzhong anymore."

"Li Hongji is finished, there is no need to kill him."

"I didn't kill him, I just didn't let him look west, he would just go east."

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "Did you put nails beside Li Hongji?"

Yun Zhao looked at Li Dingguo Highway: "I also put nails beside Zhang Bingzhong."

"Who are you not putting nails?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I slept so hard that there were secret mechanisms under the big bed. Who do you think I would let go easily?"
