Chapter 65
  All officials from the three counties were summoned and a meeting was held.

Of the three county magistrates, one was so angry that the other committed a heinous crime and was beheaded by bandits to win over the people. Only one of them survived, but he was also covered in bruises.

First, he pardoned them for surrendering to the bandits. Then, seeing that there were almost no defenders in each county, he could only order the imperial guards to leave a small flag in each county and recruit young and strong refugees among the three counties to form a new army. Five hundred per city, led by thousands of households from each county. Of course, the actual situation is controlled by the ten remaining Jin Yiwei.

"The military pay for the garrison is paid monthly by the court. You are responsible for the security of the area and help the government divide the land. Once a large group of bandits attack, remember to light a beacon and call the police immediately. As long as you persist for three days, it doesn't matter whether the government troops come to help or not. , you can all decide for yourself whether to continue fighting or surrender, saving opportunities for our future counterattack."

The three Jinyiwei Xiaoqi gratefully obeyed.

In fact, if five hundred untrained recruits were to defend a county town, it would be quite rare for them to be able to hold on for three days if a large group of rogues attacked the city. There is no need to let these people who were just homeless and beggars die. And if they surrender, they can also serve as internal counterattacks to seize the city in the future.

That’s why there are these humane regulations.

Then, he ordered the remaining officials: "The surviving officials will replace the county magistrate according to their rank, receive new salaries, and implement the court's land contracting policy. Time is tight, seize the farming season, and at least one crop of quick grain can be harvested. There must be no delay." "

The remaining officials immediately followed the instructions happily.

Then, the army will face Binzhou, a real fortified city, and Lijin, a ferry on the Yellow River.

Binzhou is the capital, a big city. There are 5,000 rogue garrison guards in the city, and more than 1,000 surrendered troops of the original Ming Dynasty. It is unrealistic to capture this city through tricks. This must be attacked forcefully.

Lijin is the largest ferry crossing on this section of the Yellow River. It is the choke point for transportation between the north and south of the Yellow River and is also a battleground for military strategists. The enemy will not give up easily. At this time, it is time to test the third army's ability to attack difficult difficulties.

The third army rushed towards Binzhou like a tide and surrounded it in an instant.

Facing Binzhou City, Lu Mou took a chance and said, "Sir, do you think the rogue bandits guarding the city will abandon the city and leave in the face of an army like ours?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No."

"That's wrong. According to the habits of rogue bandits, don't they always circle around what they can't capture and abandon what they can't defend? How can it be different here?"

Li Yan said with some pain in his tone: "Because Liu Fangliang is my only friend in the army."

"What does this have to do with him being your friend? Does he still expect you to show mercy to him at this time? Let me tell you, now that you are mine, you can't point your elbows outward like that. "

"No, it's because he is my friend, so he likes to have long conversations with me the most. He deeply understands and accepts my thoughts. Capture a place, occupy a place, manage and build a place, and be the real changer of dynasties. "

Then he waved his hand: "Have you not noticed that the whole of Shandong is very different from Henan, Shaanxi, and Huguang? Li Chuang has lost those places, even in Shanxi behind Li Chuang now.

The foundation of the founding of Dashun is only Xi'an, Weinan and Guanzhong. Gao Yigong is now managing it, but it is also extensive, which is not called governance at all.

But look at Shandong now. Although Liu Fangliang did not have enough troops, he still used the surrendered troops of the Ming Dynasty and the officials who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty to occupy and govern. He followed my path. "

Lu Mou was furious: "Tell me, what kind of friends have you made? You have taught them bad things. Aren't you obviously causing trouble for yourself and me?"

Li Yan sneered: "At this time, at that time, I was dedicated to helping Li Chuang establish a new dynasty, to save the world and fight for the survival of the people who were harmed by your old Zhu family, so I did that."

"What about you now?"

"It's not just that you want to make peace with me in terms of your political strategy, and that you are better than me. In fact, the most important thing is that I saw that you were more cruel to your royal family than me, so I sincerely surrendered to you. I have always doubted whether you are old Zhu family’s seed.”

Then he turned around and said seriously: "Tell me, is your biological father Chongzhen? I don't think you look like it, but you look like a bastard." Lu Mou jumped to his feet and shouted, "I'll beat you to death for insulting me." ——Mother’s bastard.”

As a result, a red shadow stood in front of Li Yan, and a sword was placed on Lu Mou's neck.

Li Yan smiled and said: "Madam, don't be angry. It's a joke. Don't you know it's a joke."

Then he said calmly: "Even if you were picked up by the emperor, I still hope that you will wear this orthodox skin of the old Zhu family to restore peace to the world. Because this will allow us to realize that there will be land for the tillers and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. It’s much smoother.”

Lu Mou covered his face and said, "This guy still doesn't believe that I am from the old Zhu family." He is worthy of being called extremely wise, a hero in the world, and he is really damn accurate in judging people. ’

"Okay, now we don't expect the generals who defend the city to abandon the city and flee. Let's prepare to attack the city with blood and fire."

"Then can you go into battle, show your interests to the guard, understand the righteousness, and speak out with your own experience to make him surrender?"

Li Yan shook his head again: "It's impossible. Although Liu Fangliang and I are friends, we are not in the same system. His subordinates are loyal to him and will not have any feelings for me. I went to persuade him to surrender, but I was just humiliating myself. "

Now that I have said that, there is nothing more to say, so prepare to attack the city.

"But this general guarding the city is one of Liu Fangliang's top ten leaders, and he is an absolute confidant of the general. Most likely, before we can attack Lijin as planned, Liu Fangliang will lead his troops to help. Therefore, the fight for reinforcements may be It will start in advance, so the prince should lead the fifth army to set up an ambush midway."

"Then what if he doesn't come?"

"What if he comes?"

There is no way to talk about this.

"Okay, if you have a way to attack the city, then I will take the soldiers of the Fifth Army to fight for reinforcements. Take care."

"Take care, Your Majesty, I don't want to hear the news that you were captured by Liu Fangliang."

"then you go."

"I won't go, I want to besiege the city."

"That--"

"No, let's go slowly." Li Yan pushed Lu Mou directly out of the door, and closed the door with a hard clang, and there was also the sound of the door bar being pushed against.

Lu Jian jumped outside the door: "Hey Li Yan, how dare you treat your lord like this, how dare you push your lord into a dangerous battlefield, come out and let's fight.

Li Yan's cold voice came from the room: "Duel? Can you beat my wife?"

Lv Mou was frustrated and ordered Zhu Changxun loudly: "Take the brothers and let's go to Liu Fangliang for a decisive battle."

Li Yan's warning came from the room: "It's not a decisive battle, it's a blockade. You have to understand this."
