Li Guoying's battle was very frustrating.

I was originally making a fortune by robbing Baoning Mansion, but I wanted to go to Chengdu.

Now, Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan were ambushed, not only did they vomit all the food they had eaten, but they also lost a lot of troops.

According to Li Guoying's estimates, the Green Camp soldiers killed in this battle were about 20,000, and countless injured people.

The Qing army was seriously injured and could not recover in less than half a year.

What's even more terrible is that no much food was brought back in this battle, and the problem of military food in the second half of the year was gone.

Tens of thousands of people only have tens of thousands of mouths. If the food is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Guoying could even think of the angry Qing soldiers' mutiny.

At that time, the soldiers would definitely not care about any respect, and they might even swallow Li Guoying alive.

So no matter what, Li Guoying couldn't survive until the food was out of stock.

If you can't get it from the Ming army, you will go and grab the big one.

He didn't believe that the landlord's family didn't have surplus grain. As long as he was willing to dig three feet of the ground, he would be able to dig out the grain.

It’s not that Li Guoying doesn’t want to steal ordinary people, but that ordinary people really can’t get any food.

Instead of wasting time in this regard, it is better to just use a knife against the big players.

Although these big players look solid, they can still scrape things as long as Li Guoying makes up his mind.

As for the court, good news still needs to be reported.

Shunzhi died and the new emperor Kangxi ascended the throne.

Under this circumstance, the Qing court and the entire Qing Dynasty were shrouded in a haze.

It is urgent to need a big victory to boost morale and cheer up.

Although Li Guoying ended in a crushing defeat in the attack on Sichuan this time, Baoning Mansion actually grabbed things.

He is not a deceiving the king.

And if you report to the Jie court, you have to give some rewards?

Even if it means something, it can relieve Li Guoying's pressure.

Although you may not be able to buy food if you have money, it is better than not even money.

At this moment, Li Guoying could feel the pain of the Thirteen Kuidong families.

The originally one-sided situation turned into a stalemate, and it was impossible for the Qing army to eliminate the Ming army in a short period of time.

To eliminate the problem of food shortage, this stalemate is not entirely a bad thing for Li Guoying.

If the Qing Dynasty had destroyed the Ming army in one go, he, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, would definitely not have such great power.

Li Guoying still understands the principle of raising enemies and respecting themselves.

It’s just that others actively raise the enemy and respect themselves, and he is passive.

Even if he doesn't want to raise it, he can't do it. His strength is so poor.

In fact, Li Guoying felt that if he continued to drag on his wings, his wings would gradually become fuller and develop towards the direction of the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty.

Isn’t the Jiedushi just captured the military and political forces?

In Taiping, Jingjun and Zheng must be separated, and only in troubled times will the governor be given the opportunity to command troops.

It seems to be a comfort in this way.

In this Shaanxi territory, he is the only one who exists, and he can become a local emperor.

However, before Li Guoying's dream of spring and autumn was completed, a confidant came to report that the army's pursuit was coming.

Li Guoying was shocked.

Is Ming Jun addicted to fighting?

It was not enough to fight in Sichuan, but he actually chased Hanzhong all the way!

Li Guoying originally wanted to rely on the advantage of the terrain to defend himself, but now he is still feeling a little worried.

After all, I just experienced a crushing defeat, and the Qing army was completely defeated in terms of momentum.

At this time, another battle will be fought, and God knows whether he can win.

But everyone came to the door, and even if Li Guoying wanted to hide, she couldn't.

If there is any loss in Hanzhong, Guanzhong will not be able to be protected.

Since ancient times, there have been two ways to attack Guanzhong.

First, we fight from south to north from Hanzhong, southern Shaanxi.

The second is to fight from east to west through Tongguan.

The success rate of the former is much greater than that of the latter.

Because Tongguan is a famous pass in the world, it can be said that one man should be a pass without ten thousand men.

It is very difficult to win Tongguan.

Being able to take over Tongguan's troops is basically a crushing advantage. What follows is natural.

Li Guoying didn't think he could defend Guanzhong if he lost Hanzhong.

So he had to defend Hanzhong even though he fought to the death.

The Ming thief is really bullying others too much!

Li Guoying thought gritted her teeth.

Since you want to force me to death, I will fight you to see who can laugh to the end.

"Send the order and mobilize the entire city's troops to prepare for war. All the young and old in the city need assistance in defending the city."

Li Guoying thought to himself that this gave him the opportunity to put pressure on the tyrants and gentry in Shaanxi.

Faced with a catastrophe, these local tyrants should of course do their best.

The rich contribute money, and the powerful contribute.

If you are both rich and powerful, you will be given out.

If Hanzhong cannot defend it, these local tyrants and gentry will be fat sheep in the eyes of Ming thieves and fish on the chopping board.

Not being controlled by someone at will.

Nowadays, Li Guoying's mentality has undergone a subtle change.

He has regarded Shaanxi as his property, so he naturally has to protect it desperately and must not be easily taken away.

Whether it is the Ming army or others who want to touch his interests, he will fight to the death.

At worst, both sides will suffer losses, and Li Guoying will never frown.

...

...

"Have you heard that the Ming thief is going to attack Hanzhong."

Several young people who looked like scholars gathered together in a teahouse in Hanzhong City and discussed in horror.

If scholars fear the most, they may be war.

It is said that scholars meet soldiers, but they are indecisive.

If a war really starts, it is naturally the final decision for the soldiers.

This is not what they fear the most. What they fear the most is to drag them to war.

Their hands hold the pen holder, not the handle.

Even though they are so powerless that they really can't hold the knife.

"The Ming thieves are coming to attack Hanzhong, how many people do they have? Hanzhong is famous for being easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

"Then who can say it correctly, but there should be 50,000. It is really unimaginable to want to attack Hanzhong without 50,000 people."

"I heard that the Governor had just lost a battle and was beaten up by someone chasing him. This city is not easy to defend."

"Hehe, defending the city is something that the governor should consider. It's useless for us to worry about it."

"If I ask me to tell you that we will still hide at home. The war is imminent, and something may happen. If we are arrested by the officers and soldiers, who can we ask for to reason?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw a team of green camp soldiers rushing into the teahouse.

They caught people when they saw them, and put ropes on people's necks without saying a word, just like a animal.

People who study are scared to death and dare not say a word.

They didn't wake up until the rope was tied around their necks.

"You...what do you want to do, we are scholars. We have fame and fortune!"

"You can't treat me like this. This is a disgrace to be gentle, this is a disgrace to be gentle!"
