Chapter 172 is drunk
For a group of bandits, the core combat power is very limited. Just like bandits like Li Zicheng, the combat force of the old camp is only tens of thousands, and the rest are all shaking flags and shouting and making soy sauce.
As for Li Jiyu's level, it is already quite amazing that he can have hundreds of combat power. He killed more than 100 muskets, and lost two or three hundred cannons. Before they could be fought together, most of them were lost.
The remaining soldiers were stunned for a while, and came to their senses. The parents screamed, threw the sword, ran away like a rabbit, not to mention that it was too fast.
An Guojun, who was ready to go, even felt like he was hitting the air with one punch. Gu Zhenhua originally wanted to show his subordinates' bravery in front of Hong Niangzi, but he didn't know that he had encountered such a group of cowards. He was not even considered an opponent, and it was a shame to compare with them.
Gu Zhenhua called Fang Jianming and ordered: "Tell me my order, let the cavalry hold these guys to prevent escape. Leave the main combat mission to the recruits, let them practice their skills, and at least see the blood."
"Abide by the order!" Fang Jianming hurriedly ran down to convey the order.
The Hongniang couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the one-sided situation on the battlefield.
"As soon as Ye Gu is good at training troops, An Guojun is so majestic and good at fighting, I'm afraid even the Qing Dynasty won't take it seriously."
"Miss Hong is too famous. Most of the new recruits in the Anguo Army are. When it is time to fight to the death, if you can play half of your usual training level, you will burn the incense. The Qing Dynasty is about to move south, and it is not clear whether it can be blocked. To be honest, I still hope that Ms Hong can help and everyone will join forces to fight the enemy!"
The Hongmao smiled embarrassedly, "Sir, don't be happy with me, bandits and bandits. How can you catch your eyes? But if you really think about love, I will dare to fight for something."
"Miss Red, please tell me."
"Kill Li Zicheng and help me hold my husband's revenge." Hong Niangzi said word by word: "The injustice of the death of the husband's death is Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing. I think I have no ability to take revenge, and I just hope that the Duke of the Kingdom can help me. From now on, the Qinglantern Ancient Buddha will pray for the Duke of the Kingdom!"
A glimmer suddenly flashed in Gu Zhenhua's eyes, and his face was covered with frost.
"Miss Hong, are you really obsessed with Li Yan?"
"This!" The Hongniang also felt the strangeness in Gu Zhenhua's words. Her face also became bad.
"After practicing a hundred years of cultivation, I can cross the same boat, and for a thousand years of cultivation, I can sleep together. Since it is a husband and wife, living and dying together, it is naturally a thought of each other."
"Li Yan is just a scholar. Although he has some strategy, he is not aware of people. What's more, he is dead and the dead are gone. Shouldn't the living think about living better?"
The Hong Madam looked as deep as water and said coldly: "Dude, don't you think your words are too frivolous? They don't match your identity!"
"Identity, my identity is the power in my hand. It is the elite soldiers under my command. To be honest, from the first moment I met the girl, I thought the girl was a strange woman. Following a sour scholar, I was really a pearl that was in the dark and the crystal wall was gone."
When the Hongmao heard Gu Zhenhua's words, her silver teeth clenched, her lips trembled, her pale face became paler, and a trace of red flowed out of the corners of her mouth.
"Gu Zhenhua. You just want to say that I should follow you a great hero and hero, who is a handsome man! I really didn't expect that Duke Ji was just a drunkard and a slutty man. I misjudged the wrong person!"
The Hong Madam was furious and turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Zhenhua quickly looked at her and had already urged the horse to her side, holding the reins tightly.
"Miss Hong, it is best to treat a strange woman like you honestly. Now that you are alone, a family of women and a hundred families, isn't I qualified to do this?"
"Gu Zhenhua, don't you think you are taking advantage of others' danger?"
"How could it be? I just show my thoughts and let the girl know. I will never use force on the girl."
"Since you don't have to force yourself, why don't you loosen the reins? Let me fly away!"
"Hahaha, Miss Hong, where can you fly? The world is so chaotic, you should think about it for safety. Besides, you are begging me to help you get revenge? Don't you want to see the day when Li Zicheng awarded the title of head?"
The Hongmao's eyes were full of fire and said hatefully: "Gu Zhenhua, do you want to threaten me with revenge? Do you want Li Zicheng's head to send it over? Will I just give it to you?"
"Hahaha, Miss Hong, people always get along with each other for a long time, and then they will have feelings. As the saying goes, will love you over time? My Lord will help you take revenge, but now I will join forces with Li Zicheng to fight against the Qing Dynasty. When I use it, I will give the head to the girl."
"Don't you feel a little shameless when you do this?"
"Miss Hong, you are too naive. The games between men are really not suitable for you. Listen to me obediently and let go of your hatred for the time being. Stay happy with me by my side. When I give you the head, I still want to go far away, so let it go."
"Hmph, if you don't kill Li Zicheng for a day, I will follow you for a day, if you don't kill you for a year, if you don't kill you for a year, if you don't kill you for a lifetime, you won't succeed in your lifetime?"
"What I want!"
"Shameless!"
Gu Zhenhua laughed to the sky and arrogantly held Hongniang's hand. The beauty's palm was cold and fragrant and sweat came out, like a piece of cold jade.
Gu Zhenhua grabbed the big hand with warm hands. The Hongniang's body trembled and wanted to pull it back, but she couldn't thrust it. She was so anxious that she sweated on her forehead and even tears rolled around her eyes.
"Miss Red, you are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. What you need is a truly strong arm that can give you a support, not a bucket that requires you to worry about."
"You are not allowed to slander your deceased husband!" said the Hongniang fiercely.
"Hahaha, Miss Hong, you're still too tired. Relax and don't force yourself. Ben Jue will arrange everything well."
As Gu Zhenhua said, he waved his hand and called out a few personal soldiers, asking them to take Hongniang down and have a good rest.
At this moment, the battle was over, and the desperate bandits surrendered one after another, and a large area of kneeling on the ground was so dark that they could not see at all.
However, although there are many of these people, they are just a group of chickens and ducks. Often, two or three soldiers of the Anguo Army can take care of hundreds of people. They kneel on the ground and dare not move.
At this moment, Xie Bin came over with a few personal soldiers, dragging a man behind his horse. He arrived in front of Gu Zhenhua. Xie Bin turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "Duke, Bei Zhi has already captured Li Jiyu. Please give it to him!"
At this time, Li Jiyu rolled on the ground with sand and soil, his face turned blue, and his clothes were scratched. He was bleeding, looking like a pastoral dog, and he no longer had the majesty of a local emperor.
"You are Li Jiyu?"
“That’s right.”
"Do you know who Benjue is?"
"I have heard that you are Gu Zhenhua, Duke of Ji." Li Jiyu said with his head down.
"Since you know my master and still dare to resist the heavenly soldiers, are you looking for death?"
When Li Jiyu heard this, he raised his head, tried hard to straighten his body, and then said, "Duke, you have to reason with everything. Although Li gathered together and was a thief, Li treated the people well and never robbed them easily. And just before the war started, the villain also sent a letter to want to have a good talk with the Duke. If you have any requirements, just say, I will do it. But you do it without any discretion and do it directly, which is really a shame."
The more Li Jiyu said, the more he felt that he was reasonable, and he unconsciously shook his head.
"Duke, the villain doesn't want to go against you. As long as you let the villain go, the villain is willing to serve the Duke. I will look forward to Dengfeng's territory!"
When Gu Zhenhua listened to his words, he couldn't help laughing, and Fang Jianming, Xie Bin and others also laughed.
"Li Jiyu, put away your tricks and want to be a fence-bearer. If you are strong, you will turn to the other side. It won't work here. My master will not allow the local emperor, let alone a bandit like you. But for your honesty, my master will give you a way out, so that you can't say it's unkind."
"What way out?" Li Jiyu widened his eyes and couldn't help asking.
"Contractor." Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "They're not good at fighting. If you let them go to the local area, they will harm the people and let them farm. I'm afraid they won't have the heart to plant crops."
Li Jiyu just suffered the most painful encounter in his life. More than 20,000 people and the stars fell and the clouds were dispersed, and he was completely frightened. Listening to Gu Zhenhua's words, he calculated by his fingers, and could not let go, farm, and even more so.
"Dude, you can just kill us."
"I'll kill you and get dirty!" Gu Zhenhua sneered: "The only way, from now on, you will be coolies. Build roads, maintain river embankments, mine coal, and log woodworking. If you do it well, it will take ten years to let you go home. If you can't do it well, you will be dead!"
Li Jiyu was so scared that he shivered, but fortunately he could still save his life and there was nothing to say.
Those who were in the forefront were depressed and accepted their fate. What else could others say? Wherever the Anguo Army passed, the bandits surrendered and swept Dengfeng.
At this moment, Yue Polu also came over with Li Nian. As soon as they met, Li Nian hurriedly fell to the ground.
"Sinners, pay homage to Duke Ji."
"Get up quickly, it's not easy for you. General Li, would you like to follow me? My Lord can allow you to summon old subordinates, set up a battalion alone, and join the Anguo Army's sequence."
Li Nian saw the strength of An Guojun along the way, and when he heard Gu Zhenhua's words, he was immediately moved.
"Thank you for your kind treatment. I am naturally willing. But, I have to wait for my sister-in-law to decide on this matter."
"No need, Miss Hong was injured and was in a low mood. She was about to take care of her health. She had already said that she would give you all her brothers."
"Since that's the case, I am naturally willing. I just don't know if I can allow me to meet my sister-in-law? The Duke of the State, I am not trusting you, I am just worried about her body."
"That's natural, Dali, please take General Li with you."
Kang Dali hurried over and led Li Nian to the back of the military camp.
After clearing out Li Jiyu's troops, all the income was delivered to Gu Zhenhua. After a closer look, Gu Zhenhua was also shocked. Li Jiyu is not a local thief, but clearly a local tyrant!
The total amount of gold and silver was 1.53 million taels, 5,000 mules and horses, and 200,000 dan of food. In addition to these, there were two huge wealth. One was that there were more than 300,000 people under his rule, of which 300,000 were involved in bandits, and including family members, more than 100,000 were included.
In the eyes of others, these populations may be a burden, but for Gu Zhenhua, this is the best free labor. With these people, large-scale construction will be easier.
Another thing is that the land around Dengfeng is enough, which is only about to be incorporated into the farm.
"Tell me that all the bandits are used as laborers, and their families are no exception. As for the remaining people, they are allocated to the fields to resume production as soon as possible, and don't miss the autumn sowing."
Fang Jianming nodded quickly, "Don't worry, please let me know now."
After everything was explained, Gu Zhenhua also felt much more relaxed. The first step to enter Henan Prefecture was to take it, and the next step was to control Luoyang.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua was particularly happy and asked his subordinates to bring a jar of his daughter Hong, who had been for 28 years, and carried the jar of wine, and then went to the tent behind.
"Miss Hong, look at how beautiful the moonlight is today. I'll invite you to drink and enjoy the moon. What do you think?"
The Hong Madam was leaning against the bed, staring at Gu Zhenhua coldly. Suddenly she jumped up, grabbed the wine jar, tilted her neck, and started drinking in big mouthfuls.
The wine flowed down the cheeks, and the collars in front were soaked. The twenty-pound jar of wine was drunk by the Mao Maiden, before putting the jar on the table.
"Gu Zhenhua, aunt got herself drunk, so she won't be able to see your annoying face."
Gu Zhenhua's smile remained unabated and grabbed the wine jar, "Miss Hong, I don't care what you said, my hair is long and my knowledge is short!"
Regardless of his angry eyes, Gu Zhenhua grabbed the jar and poured it into his mouth. He had a good alcohol tolerance, and the degree was not high, and the aroma was rich and mellow, and it tasted like water.
The Hongmao stared at him, gritted her silver teeth, and snatched the jar again, "I can't compare to you, I don't believe that drinking is not possible!"
The Hongmao drank a lot again, and she drank all the jar of wine. The Hongmao's face turned red and her eyes were blurred. Suddenly she lay on the table and started crying bitterly.
Gu Zhenhua hugged her shoulder, "What's wrong with you? Cry!"
"Gu Zhenhua, you big bastard! You know how to bully women, you are a bullshit hero!" The red lady said gritting her teeth: "I hate it so much!"
"Do you hate me?"
"I hate myself, why didn't I meet you earlier! You are right, I just hold on. Since I was a kid, I have been doing things since I was a kid, so I just hold on. Follow Li Yan, my aunt wants to save him and take care of him. Who will take care of me?"
Gu Zhenhua suddenly hugged Hongniang and kissed her hard. When both of them were about to suffocate, Gu Zhenhua let go of her.
Chapter completed!
