The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 11 Dare to ask the general where is his ambition?

After listening to Liu Ji's flattery, Jiang Chuan thought of another question:
"Do you think the officers and soldiers will attack again?"

Liu Ji glanced at Jiang Chuan with a "ghostly" look on his face and said, "The general has already made up his mind, so why bother taking his subordinates to be happy!"

This old guy is really a monkey spirit, Jiang Chuan was a little surprised.

Yes, he did have a preliminary judgment.

These officers and soldiers came to Heiniu Mountain to pick up soft persimmons, and now the bandits on Heiniu Mountain have been killed, and they were killed by Jiang Chuan. No. 80 people, this loss is already big enough.

These losses can also be reported to the losses caused by the Tartars and the losses during the suppression of bandits.

However, if there are more losses, the cover may not be able to cover it.

According to their analysis just now, the officials of Datong City now want to get some credit and send them back to the mainland. Now that they have already made credit for suppressing the bandits, they definitely don't want to make any extra troubles at this time.

Therefore, based on a comprehensive judgment, Jiang Chuan and the others are currently in a safe situation.

So when you get down, it involves a very important issue, that is, what should you do when you get down.

Looking at Jiang Chuan's pensive look, Liu Ji's eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "General, are you thinking about the next step?"

Jiang Chuan came back to look at him and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Liu Ji smiled and said, "That depends on the general's ambition."

"Why?"

"If the general wants to be a grass king in a corner of Pian'an, he can just find a place with lush water and grass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now the world is in chaos, and the court can't take care of it. Maybe one day the general will be full-fledged, and he can take advantage of the situation." If you come out, maybe you can get a point or two of luck."

Liu Ji said calmly, but Jiang Chuan saw that the old boy was deliberately teasing his appetite, so he didn't expose him, but continued to ask: "Then what if my ambition is not here?"

"If the general's ambition is in the world, then he should try his best to plan for the general. People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, so it's not just talking about it."

Liu Ji suddenly looked solemn.

Jiang Chuan also saw that if he only wanted to be a bandit leader or a small warlord, this old boy would probably just hang around and not show his true skills.If he has aspirations for the world, he will do his best to help him.

To put it bluntly, I am testing him, and others are testing myself, two-way choice.

"Oh, I've always liked to do things or not to talk. You can take a good look at where my ambition is, and use your own eyes and heart to judge. But food has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step. You How about planning for me now and finding a better foothold?"

It's hard for Jiang Chuan to trust a person easily. Don't look at the hype that Liu Ji said, but he still needs to ride a donkey and read the libretto to see how good he is.

So it is better to test him with this difficult problem that I am considering.

Jiang Chuan's attitude was neutral, which made Liu Ji look at him even more highly.

If Jiang Chuan was excited by his few words, clamoring that he was determined to be in the world, determined to compete in the Central Plains, and dominate the world, then Liu Ji might praise him for his ambition to be a Kunpeng, but in his heart he would It will definitely be hehe.

A real person who achieves great things must not only have lofty aspirations, but also have deep scheming and changeable skills, all of which are indispensable.

If the ambition is great, the talent is sparse, the person is easily excited, and others will tell the truth when they praise a few words, wishing that the whole world would know his lofty ambitions, then this kind of person will often find it difficult to achieve success.

Liu Ji has been wandering around for so many years, in fact, he is looking for a master who will satisfy him to assist him.

But after walking for so many years, the various high-ranking officials and nobles he met, even bandits and robbers, either had no ambitions, or had great ambitions, or had shallow minds, and none of them fit the standard of enlightenment in his mind.

However, Jiang Chuan's demeanor and attitude gave him hope, and slowly warmed up his heart that had become a little cold due to the disappointment of these years.

He is decisive and ruthless, with a clear mind, extraordinary insight, and a scheming city, which has initially met the choice of a wise master in his heart.

However, he has experienced too many disappointments over the years, and he is currently observing Jiang Chuan.

"What do you think the general thinks about this Black Niu Mountain?" Liu Ji asked seriously.

"It's okay to be a den of thieves, but if you want to achieve great things, you can't be a foundation at all." Jiang Chuan said.

"The general sees it clearly. Therefore, the most urgent thing at the moment is to find a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is suitable for long-term development as a foundation. With this foundation, we can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and we can be on the frontier. The land has gained a foothold." Liu Ji nodded and said.

"Then do you have ideals in your heart?" Jiang Chuan nodded and asked.

"There is a place in Ji's heart that he wants to recommend to the general. The terrain here is a valley, which is in the shape of a gourd as a whole, with a big belly and a small mouth, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also a lake that can solve the problem of drinking water. , and can also be reclaimed into arable land for planting crops. Another advantage is that the valley here is between the two mountains on the border, which is where the border is located, so it is in an area beyond the reach of both the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars."

Liu Ji said slowly.

Hearing such a good terrain, Jiang Chuan couldn't help being moved. Such a good place is very suitable for his current needs.

As long as the two valley entrances are blocked, then you can develop in it with peace of mind.Once it develops and grows, it will have capital to expand outward.

"It's indeed a good place. According to what you said, how many people do you think it can accommodate?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"According to my subordinates, at least 1 horses can be accommodated here, and no less than a thousand acres of land can be reclaimed." Liu Ji replied after a moment of pondering.

"Okay, it looks like a good place to go. If you can win this place, I will give you the first credit." Jiang Chuan couldn't help but excitedly said.

"Thank you, General. But although this place is good, there is still a big difficulty in obtaining this place." Liu Ji said again.

"You mean someone is occupying this place now?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Yes, this place is currently occupied by a bandit leader named Hai Dongqing. This Hai Dongqing has a fierce temperament, strong martial arts, and there are five or six hundred young and strong men under his command. Among the bandits near Datong City It is also quite prestigious. The frontier soldiers in Datong City also tried to recruit this person before, but they were unsuccessful. In the end, the officers and soldiers attacked and suppressed many times, but also because of the limited terrain and the fierceness and cunning of Shanghai Dongqing itself. Over time, it failed. , he has a bad reputation."

Liu Ji narrated what he knew.

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Chuan with some tentativeness and worry.

However, Jiang Chuan understood the meaning in Liu Ji's gaze. Didn't he just want to talk about how his small force can shake this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack den of thieves? Moreover, his force is more than 20 times his own. Isn't that suicidal?
Of course, he fully understands Liu Ji's worries, which is also normal.After all, he didn't know and couldn't know that he still had a golden thigh like a system.
