Zhang Tianlin and Wang Ziyong went to Liujiazhuang with Liu Xiangyu and Liu Cheng's grandfather and son.
They want to carry the food obtained by plundering Wangzhuang.
Fortunately, the two men's troops only numbered more than a thousand, and they had gained from breaking through the Beiguan Acropolis. They only needed a little supply to last for a few days.
When Monk Wang met Liu Chengzong for the first time, his face was full of envy: "If I had your ability, I would have turned defeat into victory many times in Yanchuan."
In Cao Yao's lair, Liu Chengzong smiled and greeted the two of them: "Guan Dui Zhang, Leader Wang."
Monk Wang raised his head and laughed, raised his hand and drew a circle among the people: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Now between the three of us, you are the leader who is well equipped with soldiers and food.
The friend of King Hengtian in the north is Bu Tie Mu Mu, and he has a leader named Ye Bu Shou who, like you, can sleep on the back of a horse. "
When Liu Chengzong heard this, he knew that Monk Wang had never been a soldier.
There is nothing strange about sleeping on the back of a horse. In Huamachi, Liu Chengzong also saw patrol veterans sleeping while walking, and they would turn along the patrol route while sleeping.
As long as humans are tired and sleepy enough, what can't they do?
Cao Yao's village, which occupies an old temple on a barren mountain, is very informal and does not even have a gathering hall.
A few people could only sit on the ground on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Tianlin first explained the situation in Yanchuan, and then introduced the situation of Monk Wang, and then said: "Yan'an is like this. I guess there will be troops sent to Yansui West Road. The tiger general thinks, can we deal with Li Bei?"
Speaking of this, Guo Tianxing felt a little embarrassed: "Neither of us has met Li Bei, but we have met Lao Hui Hui. Li Bei kicked Lao Hui Hui out of his mouth. This man is very powerful."
"I don't think I can beat him."
Liu Chengzong admitted defeat very naturally: "If we still have those two hundred people and let me fight him, it will be possible in three months."
The origins of the thousands of numbers he has now are not complicated.
There are about one or two hundred Yan'an flag guards, Li Wanqing and Heilongshan can account for 200, 300 people are from the hungry people, and the rest are all the thieves and pawns who have returned to Huanglong Mountain.
Among them, only No. 100 from Black Dragon Mountain has received serious training, is a blood relative of the clan, and is reliable and powerful.
After being armed, these 100 people were able to fight against the well-fed Weisuo Banner Army.
Not so much for others.
The Yan'an Flag Guards marched three or two times a day, and they were familiar with weapons, but the average person was malnourished and night-blind.
The tiger's waist of more than one hundred came from Li Wanqing's reduction of troops, but the foundation is so poor that no matter how streamlined it is, it will be of no use.
As for Lao Huihui's tribe who fell behind when he fled, there is no need to mention it.
He was defeated by Li Bei in Huanglong Mountain and fled to Yan'an Prefecture.
Half of them joined the Lion Camp at Tiger Yao, and the other half were admitted to Yan'an Guard by Zhang Xiong.
Yesterday, he was defeated by Liu Chengzu and joined the Lion Camp.
Morale, physical fitness, training, discipline, whatever you want is nothing, surrender has become a habit.
They are good at fighting with the wind, seizing a local siege, and fighting with the regular army... Even now, if someone shouts that Li Bei is coming, they can run away.
Zhang Tianlin said: "Then what do you mean, let's run?"
"I heard from Cheng Yun that the two leaders have the idea of joining forces with me."
Liu Chengzong shook his head and said: "Now that I have robbed Yan'an Mansion, I am the target of public criticism. The imperial court will soon send troops to attack me. It is probably not a good idea to join forces with me at this time."
He paused and said, "I would like to ask, what is the purpose of the two leaders raising troops?"
Zhang Tianlin and Wang Ziyong looked at each other and frowned.
Wang Ziyong said: "I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean, joint venture is not a good idea, you just want us to leave?"
Zhang Tianlin said: "Didn't I tell you that if the army invaded my home, I would fight them."
"I'm not letting you go. I just woke up and I only have a rough idea, which is not yet complete... It's raining in Yanchuan and there is no soil for raising troops, so you come to Yan'an."
Liu Chengzong reached out and drew a map from memory on the loess: "There is Yansui Town in the north and Xi'an Prefecture in the south. Both places have large armies.
There are no officers and soldiers in Yan'an, and there is still a lot of food to rob Wangzhuang Fort. We have two thousand soldiers, and we are moving slowly with food. If we don't bring food, the food will be wasted.
Besides, I think that what I do in Fucheng will inspire the courage of the surrounding bandits, bandits, refugees, and hungry people, and they will gather together to rob wealthy households in the next few days. "
At this point, Zhang Tianlin raised her hand and answered: "Already have it. There is Liu Guoneng in the south. He robbed a fort last night. Someone in the east set fire to the landlord's yard. His name is Cao Cao or something."
Snapped.
Liu Chengzong clapped excitedly: "That's right, I know Chuang Tuotian, but Cao Cao doesn't know who he is.
We are rebelling. In the whole of Shaanxi, the imperial court's ability to rule has not yet collapsed. We cannot supply everywhere. To segregate one place in a dangerous position is to seek death. "
Speaking of this, Liu Chengzong regretted a little. Before leaving the city yesterday, he should have made one more trip to the magistrate's Yamen and killed all the officials in the Magistrate's Yamen.
Still haven't jumped out of the docile thinking, not decisive enough.
Liu Chengzong asked: "I wonder what the two leaders think of the current situation?"
"You also said that separatist rule will lead to your own death, so just run away."
Zhang Tianlin sounded like an old long-distance runner when she opened her mouth: "Anyway, we are just faster than the other, grab food quickly, and run away quickly. The officers and soldiers received the news that we have run elsewhere, leaving them exhausted. Even if we are overtaken, we will gather together, It might be better to survive."
Wang Ziyong also nodded one after another.
Seeing that they both meant this, Liu Chengzong felt relieved, and then expressed his thoughts: "I think that just running is not enough, there must be a purpose.
Running around without a purpose is a traitor, running around with a purpose is a traitor.
The imperial court is rotten to the core. To overthrow it, the prerequisite for overthrowing it is to have an army and win the support of the people.
Sooner or later, the army's weapons, armor, and food will not be available if they rely on looting, so a court must be established.
But without the ability to exterminate and suppress the encircling officers and soldiers, we would not even be able to defend our villages and mountain strongholds.
So the purpose of fleeing is to destroy! "
Liu Chengzong deduced in reverse and straightened out his thoughts of the two time and space memories bit by bit: "To destroy the imperial court's local rule, start from the villages and help the people fight for food and taxes. This leader of the king is the most skilled in Bailian.
It would be best if the people could spontaneously inform us of official news.
Starting from Fushi County, the person in charge of the county will be Mengxian Cheng. If something happens, he will send people to the city to threaten him. Before the imperial court sent generals, Yang Yanchang of the Yan'an Guards sold me weapons. I can keep in touch with him and bribe him to reveal the imperial court. Military intelligence.
If they are not of one mind, just kill them and support our people in the villages.
From now on, corrupt officials are our enemies on the surface. In fact, they are doing the same thing as us, which is to destroy the rule of the imperial court.
The villages are all ours, and the government orders do not leave the county. When the government troops come, we mobilize the people to flee. When they leave and go back, the government troops will have no food supplies when they reach our ground.
One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, even if we have elite troops and strong generals, if we win, we can concentrate our efforts to eliminate them; if we lose, as long as the drought persists, we will have the soil to recruit troops.
Yan'an Prefecture is the best place for us to try this method. "
Wang Ziyong was stunned for a moment and almost applauded.
Zhang Tianlin was different. He had really suffered the loss of establishing a base area, so he naturally had the feeling of being afraid of the ropes for ten years. He asked: "Tiger General, what you are talking about is for the future. It is a matter of debate whether it can be successful, but the official will soon The army came.
Do you just expect Heilongshan and Liujiazhuang to starve the officers and soldiers to death? "
"This is the most critical point, so I said that joint venture is not a good idea. I am not letting you leave. The court will come to me if you leave."
Liu Chengzong paused, stood up and moved his arms: "What they want to kill is Liu Chengzong who attacked Yan'an and killed the county magistrate, not Zhang Tianlin and Wang for their own use.
Today Chengyun asked me whether to stay or leave, to fight or to surrender.
My idea is to stay or go, neither to fight nor to surrender.
You take good care of my family, and I will seize the territory and lead the officers and soldiers elsewhere. "
