I want to be emperor

Chapter 9 The general trend of the world
Luo Zhixue's strategy of elite soldiers also won the approval of Sun Jiancheng. He was in charge of the luggage, but he was very clear about how much luggage it would cost to bring thousands of refugees, and he understood that they were able to break out this time. Dismissed the refugee soldiers, only brought more than a hundred elite cavalry, so that they could escape the siege of the official army.

If it is wrong to cling to those more than 1000 refugee soldiers, they would have been wiped out by the government army as early as in Yiyang.

The only solution for now is not to run while recruiting refugee soldiers to build momentum as before, but to find a place to take a breather, and then find a way to expand the scale of elite soldiers.

Of course, before that, we still have to recruit the sentry officers of the pro-military team. With their support, we can better launch the follow-up plan, or else just relying on Sun Jiancheng and a dozen of them can do it. Nothing.

After Sun Chengli and Luo Zhixue had a detailed discussion, they initially finalized the plan, and then Sun Chengli took Luo Zhixue directly to find the sentry officers in the guards.

If you want to be in the top position, it is very important to get the support of the sentry officers in these personal teams.

In the process of persuasion, in fact Luo Zhixue didn't put in much effort. It was mainly Sun Chengli who pulled people to confide in him, from past experiences to the current escape, and then various promises.

Moreover, Sun Chengli also kept his attitude relatively low, looking eager for talents, treating everyone as real brothers, one brother at a time, one brother at a time, no matter what I eat at one bite, the brother at one bite is absolutely indispensable meal.

"My grandson, Mazi, is not very capable, but I, Sun Mazi, know that everyone is a brother. This is a blessing and a joy, and now I have no other ideas. I just want to lead my brothers to live and have enough food. !"

Seeing Sun Chengli like this, Luo Zhixue almost thought that Li Tonglin had come back from the dead.

This style, this tone, is obviously a copy of Li Tonglin.

Obviously, Sun Jianli is also learning now, or deliberately imitating Li Tonglin's approach.

Not to mention, the guards of the pro-military team are still doing this.

If Sun Chengli came over and pretended that I am the boss and you all have to listen to me, he might turn around and vote for Fei Bingcai or Scar.

But now Sun Chengli looks like everyone is brothers, and they will eat and drink spicy food together in the future, which reminds these sentry officers of Li Tonglin.

When they followed Li Tonglin in the past, they didn't dare to say that they were rich and powerful, and sometimes they were even hungry, but just like what Li Tonglin often talked about, Li Tonglin's mouthful of food was as good as theirs.

Now Sun Jiancheng is also doing the same thing, but at least these people have a lot of goodwill.

As for the fact that Sun Chengli is pretending on purpose now, and when he becomes the leader, he will turn his face and deny anyone. He eats hot food and drinks spicy food, but makes his brothers hungry.

There is nothing to worry about, Sun Chengli really dared to do this, the big guy didn't have a knife in his hand, he just chopped it up and chose a leader.

These days, don't take yourself too seriously.

After Sun Chengli pulled the whole story that everyone is a brother, Sun Chengli revealed the follow-up plan he discussed with Luo Zhixue, saying that now it is necessary to adopt the strategy of elite soldiers, and not to coerce a large number of refugees, young and strong that set.

After getting rid of the officers and soldiers completely, I am going to take everyone to find a remote village to breathe a sigh of relief.

Just listen to Sun Chengcheng: "Brothers have been fighting north and south in the past few months, from Shanxi to Shanxi, and then to Henan, and have been chased by the officers and soldiers."

"In the past, it seemed that the most recruited thousands of people, and went to Luoyang City for a while, but have you ever thought that before, the big guy had almost two hundred old brothers, but now, there are only more than 70 when they are full? people!"

"Still doing as before, we old brothers are afraid that we will die in the future..."

"Why did we mutiny in the first place, why did we fight against the officers and soldiers? It's not for our lives. What's the future after we lose our lives?"

"So, you still have to be steady!"

"Find a place to hide first, avoid the current limelight."

Those sentry officials nodded frequently after listening to these, among them the slightly older middle-aged sentry officer Lin said: "Brother Sun is right!"

At this time, Luo Zhixue also spoke in a timely manner: "Looking at the land of Shaanxi, Henan and Chu, there are five provinces, Governor Chen Qiyu, and Hong Chengchou stationed troops in Shaanxi, and stationed in Shangnan for practicing state affairs. Tang Hui has stationed troops in Nanzhang, and there are more than [-] officers and soldiers from various routes."

"Under the encirclement and suppression of more than [-] government troops, the Northern Chu Rebel Army has become a trapped beast. It will take ten months at least, or several months at most.

Luo Zhixue took out a simple hand-drawn map while talking.

Looking at this map with the eyes of future generations, this so-called map is not a map at all, but more like children's graffiti.

There is no way, Luo Zhixue is not a living map, and the painter is not very good, this is the only way to memorize the approximate map and draw it.

However, although Luo Zhixue's hand-drawn map is relatively simple, it still simply draws Shaanxi, Henan, and northern Chu areas, and also simply marks the general directions of Luoyang, Xiangyang and other big cities...

Pointing to the map, Luo Zhixue continued: "Generals, let's take a look at Henan where we are. After many days of searching by the students, we have preliminarily judged that there are heavy troops led by Xuan Mo personally stationed in the Lu family around us in the west, and there are troops in the north. Zuo Liangyu stationed troops in Xin'an and Yiyang, East Chen Zhibang stationed in Ruzhou, and South Chen Yongfu guarded Nanyang, and there are officers and soldiers everywhere!"

Speaking of this, Luo Zhixue looked up and looked around: "Don't talk about the overall situation of the world, let's talk about us, in fact, we have already been deeply surrounded by the government and the army."

"It's been under heavy siege for a long time? How is this possible?" Immediately, the sentry officer Wang Dazhuang called out softly.

Because they don't look like they are surrounded now, they have been running to Luoyang for half a month, they are a bit down and out now, but they can't be said to be surrounded by the government army, if they die, they will be chased by the government army Just run.

As for what Zuo Liangyu is, Chen Zhibang and Chen Yongfu also know about it, and recently their group has been basically fought by the officers and soldiers from Henan.

Even a few hours ago, they were still fighting with the cavalry under Chen Zhibang's command.

However, when he followed Luo Zhixue's instructions and confirmed the positions of these groups of officers and soldiers and himself on the map, he didn't speak for a long time.

Sun Chengli, who was on the side, looked at the positions of the surrounding officers and soldiers on the map, and his face gradually became unsightly as he looked at their positions.

The short and thin sentry officer Wang Dazhuang looked at Luo Zhixue, then at Sun Chengli, and couldn't help shouting, "Are we really surrounded?"

Even people who don't understand military affairs can easily see from the map that their group has been surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Subsequent Zuo Liangyu sent troops to the south to pursue, but only compressed the encirclement step by step.

And I have to say that Zuo Liangyu was quite successful, directly forcing Li Tonglin to lead his army to the south. On the way, he was also forced to voluntarily dismiss the refugees and soldiers, and finally forced Li Tonglin and his group to Ruzhou. Chen Zhibang, who was already prepared at this time Take it easy and wait for work to intercept.

In this way, there was a breakout battle a few hours ago, and Li Tonglin's death occurred.

According to this situation, if Sun Jiancheng and Luo Zhixue do not make any changes in the future, and they continue to play the role of recruiting soldiers and plundering land like Li Tonglin, at least ten days and a half months, at most a few months, they will be trapped by the officers and soldiers sooner or later Died in Ruzhou area.

What's more interesting is that what Luo Zhixue didn't say was that the officers and soldiers really didn't intentionally surround them...the officers and soldiers were all staring at the large-scale rebel army led by Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other big thieves.

This series of military deployments is also to encircle and suppress large-scale rebels.

And their group, at its peak, was only a thousand people, and at its most beautiful, it didn't go around the outside of Luoyang city and robbed a few farms.

For a small-scale rebel army like theirs, one hundred and eighty can be found casually, and it was one of the countless rebel armies in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for the Ming government army to mobilize the main force of tens of thousands of people just to encircle and suppress the bandits with thousands of people.

The strategic goal of the official army is big. They want to besiege on all sides, and directly encircle and wipe out all the rebels in this area.

And their group is just one of the countless miscellaneous fish caught by the officers and soldiers.

But, there is no need to tell them these words, at least to give people some confidence...

Luo Zhixue nodded immediately: "That's right, in fact, I was already surrounded by the government and army a month ago..." At this point, Luo Zhixue slightly turned his head and glanced at Sun Chengli: "Brother Sun discovered this move by the government and the army." After the conspiracy, it was decided to put an end to it, to try to hide it, and save it for the future."

After Sun Chengli heard this, he glanced at Luo Zhixue, then nodded slightly and said: "There are officers and soldiers around here, we must not fight recklessly with the officers and soldiers foolishly, our brother's life is precious, how can we throw it away casually?" In the barren mountains, even if I die, my grandson will have to go back to Yulin and lie in his ancestral grave, but he can't die outside."

"So, it's better to avoid the limelight and come steadily."

One of the three whistle officers, short and thin Wang Dazhuang said: "From this point of view, our situation is not very good. There is Zuo Liangyu's elite cavalry in the north, Chen Zhibang is entangled in the side, and Chen Yongfu is in the south. The soldiers are not easy to deal with, according to my opinion, it is still the same as what Brother Sun said, let's avoid the limelight first."

Long, mighty and strong, Xu He, who looks like a middle-aged and honest man, also has a heavy expression: "Stay steady, keep steady!"

And Lin Dongsheng, a slightly older sentry officer, even said: "Anyway, we are not many people now, and we can find enough food and drink to squat in any village in the mountains later on. There is no need to fight those big cities and officers and soldiers outside. , let’s hide in the ravine for a while honestly, those officers and soldiers can’t ask for trouble and run into the mountains to encircle us, can’t they?”

Listening to the three people's words, Luo Zhixue and Sun Chengli looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

The three of them obviously agreed with their plan, so it would be much easier to win them over.
