Chapter 557: Firm-Willed Li Chengming

After dealing with the battlefield, Fang Xing immediately wrote a letter to Huang Fu and sent someone to Dongguan City. Hunting "text" network Ww W. "Lie Wen. CC

Xu Jingchang saw the content on the side, and asked, "Do you want a yellow book?"

"Yes." Fang Xing looked at Qin Meng, who was kneeling in front of the burial ground of the fallen soldiers, and said, "Jiaozhi's yellow book is in a mess. This time, with the prestige of sweeping up the wealthy family, we must clearly calculate Jiaozhi's Dingkou, and at the same time..."

A smile appeared on Fang Xing's face. Seeing this smile, Xu Jingchang couldn't help shivering when he thought of the words in Fang Xing's letter.

——All men and women with unknown household registrations will be detained! The men were sent to farm to grow sugarcane, and the women were assigned by the Chief Secretary.

And the rebels who fled just now are likely to catch up with the first wave of investigations. Once they are found out, they will probably have to farm the land until they die.

Daming's yellow book is no joke, it is re-registered every ten years, just like the census.

"Master, are you still leaving today?"

It was past noon now, and Old Seven Xin came over to ask.

"Many brothers have been injured, so we won't be leaving today."

The wounded under Qin Man's command had to be dealt with before the captives were escorted back.

"Let's cook, and call Qin Manhe and Yu Qianli here by the way."

It didn't take long for Qin Man and Yu Qianli to arrive. Fang Xing pointed to the ground and motioned for the two to sit down, and then said: "Although today's battle was hasty, all the soldiers used their lives to defeat the rebels. achievement."

Qin Man lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle, I don't dare to be an official."

Yu Qianli said guiltily: "Master Qin really deserved the credit, no one dares to fight for it."

Qin Man's subordinates lost nearly half, so Fang Xing understandably felt depressed.

"Then you don't have to follow."

Qin Man raised his head in astonishment, Fang Xing said: "After the departure tomorrow, your department will escort those captives back, and then repair."

"Uncle, sir..."

Fang Xing pressed his hands: "I know you are eager to fight, but what if you run out? Let's save some seeds.

Just to add, it will come back soon. "

Qin Man still wanted to fight for it, but Fang Xing's face was full of determination that could not be changed.

"Go, appease those brothers."

After Qin Man left, Xu Jingchang asked, "Fang Xing, the king's capital is still under siege, you..."

"It's all an illusion!"

Fang Xing laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that Li Chengming to be so cunning. He only has 30,000 to 40,000 men under his command, and there are more than 10,000 men here. If you think about it, even if you defeat Wangdu and the others." , the rest of the people can still take a blow from us?"

Xu Jingchang frowned and said, "But what if he wants to defeat both sides at the same time?"

"He doesn't have that much courage and confidence!"

Fang Xing explained: "Wangdu and Wu Yue combined have more troops than ours. He dispatched these people to ambush us. The remaining people are not enough to pose a threat to Wangdu and Wu Yue. Then he will Faced with a situation where both ends fail, the wise man will do nothing!"

"Does Li Chengming dare to be called a wise man?" After all, Xu Jingchang has not experienced many battles, so his thinking is not clear enough.

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

Fang Xing said: "The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength. My judgment is that Li Chengming is hitting the east and the west."

Xu Jingchang frowned and said, "Are you saying that their siege of the king is all fake, but the real target is us?"

"Yes, definitely."

Fang Xing took out the map, pointed to the current location of the capital, and said, "The capital and Wu Yue are sticking to the camp, relying on those peasant soldiers, if Li Chengming wants to take it down, unless everyone is brave enough to die fill."

"Li Chengming is not stupid, and those rebels don't have the courage to fear death. As long as they can detect abnormalities in the capital, they can even find opportunities to counterattack and defeat their opponents directly!"

...

"Kill!"

There were fleeing rebels all over the mountains and plains, but Wang Du and Wu Yue were not happy at all.

"Up to 20,000 people."

The king is old in battle, and after a look, he calculated the total strength of the enemy's army coming this time.

Wu Yue said with a gloomy expression: "That means there are still about 20,000 people whose whereabouts are unknown."

Wang Du nodded and said: "We are surrounded here, unable to find out the movements of the rebels, Xing and Bo are in danger."

Wu Yue exhaled depressedly: "Master Wang, you sit here, and I will take the headquarters to investigate."

Wang Du smiled bitterly and said: "I want to go too, but once these rebels escape, Li Chengming still has at least 20,000 horses in his hands, that's all, leave this to me, you go right away."

If the rebels really went to ambush Fang Xing, it would be too late for Wu Yue to rush there now.

When Wu Yue led his troops to leave, Wang Du smiled wryly and ordered: "Retreat the troops and withdraw to Fukang immediately."

If Fang Xing really lost, then he had no choice but to stick to Fukang City.

Cochin! Why is it not stopping!

...

Wu Yue came back within a short distance, for the simple reason that he caught the rout.

"He said that he was hiding in the forest to ambush Uncle and defeated the spear formation, but he was defeated by the muskets later, and even Li Chengming's brother died in the rebellion."

Wu Yue stared at the group of disconsolate soldiers, and asked eagerly, "What about the uncle? Is the uncle safe?"

The interpreter asked, and then said: "He said that he saw that Uncle's banner hadn't moved in the middle, and they didn't break through the car formation at all, so Uncle should be fine."

Wu Yue asked him to ask several broken soldiers again, and finally he was relieved.

"I knew that my uncle would not be defeated, so I am still in ambush? Li Chengming must be crying now!"

...

Li Chengming looks talented, with a fair face and beardless, elegant and calm demeanor, which looks similar to those literati in Ming Dynasty.

But after hastily escaping the pursuit of the king's capital and gathering the rout, his elegance and calmness disappeared.

"My lord, there are only more than eight thousand."

Looking at the terrified soldiers, Li Chengming felt his throat was sweet, and he asked with restraint: "Where are the leaders of each family?"

The confidant stepped forward and said in a low voice: "More than twenty people died."

As the leader of this miscellaneous army, Li Chengming certainly hoped that as many leaders as possible would die, but he would die in a rout, which was something he didn't want to see.

"Master Li..."

After counting the rest of their own troops, the remaining dozen or so leaders surrounded them with unfriendly expressions.

"Master Li, it was you who said you could hide it from those bright people, but how is it now?"

"Those Ming people dared to attack with the whole army. They must have found out the truth of our army. Master Li, why is this?"

"Yes! Most of Lao Tzu's people are dead. If you hadn't sworn at the beginning that you could count Ming people, Lao Tzu would never come out with you!"

"Master Li, what should we do now? If the Ming army continues to attack, where else can we go?"

"..."

Li Chengming listened to these doubts dumbly, and when his voice subsided, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Although we are defeated, how about Fang Xing?"

Seeing these guys who were still looking angry, Li Chengming said: "As long as Li Chengzhang's ambush is successful, then our defeat today will be worth it!"

"Who is Fang Xing?"

Li Chengming knew that he had to revive his morale and at the same time maintain his prestige, otherwise this grassroots team would dissipate in an instant.

"Fang Xing is Xing Hebo of the Ming people, and the teacher of Taisun. If such a person is captured or killed by us, the south must be ours!"

Li Chengming said confidently: "If we can capture him alive, we can even negotiate terms with Emperor Ming. Everyone, don't you want to start a new dynasty for Annan?"

Pairs of eyes are full of excitement, hesitation, excitement, complacency, calculation...
