Chapter 399 Ning County
The boat glides lightly through the river.
The man rowing the boat is Liu Chuang.
The three people sitting on the boat were Li Dachui, He Yiming and Ke Wuji.
Sitting on the boat, looking around, there are fields on both sides of the bank, and in the fields, farmers are busy.
On some fields, farmers are plowing with plows. The fertile land rolls to both sides like waves as the plowshare moves forward. The old cow pulling the plow has its head buried in the ground and works hard to move forward, but from time to time its pink tongue sticks out. , rolled up the grass root in front of him and brought it to his mouth to chew.
Some fields are already filled with water. The farmers stand on the rakes and plows, shouting at the buffaloes to move forward. As the rakes and plows move forward, large pieces of soil and garbage in the water are broken into pieces. Sinked into the water.
"The next step is breeding!" Ke Wuji is very familiar with farm work, "These fields are all seedling fields, and they need to be taken care of very carefully. In another month , after the seedlings are cultivated, they can be planted on a large scale.”
“Ning County is not big, but there are more than ten rivers running through it, dividing the entire county into small pieces.” He Yiming said: "The people in Ning County mainly grow rice. The natural conditions here are excellent and they are not affected by drought. The only problem is waterlogging. However, since we entered Ning County three years ago, we began to organize manpower We are digging trenches and trying to connect all the rivers so that when there is a flood, these rivers and ditches can be automatically adjusted to reduce the invasion of natural disasters as much as possible. "< br>
“It is indeed a good place!” Li Dachui said with a smile: “Under such terrain, not to mention cavalry, even infantry cannot be used on a large scale. On the contrary, the Cao gang, which Zhou Ji is very familiar with, You can fully demonstrate your strengths here. A small boat like this can carry more than ten people, and more than a hundred can carry a thousand people. It is extremely flexible and can move in and out of sight. Most people who want to capture Ning County will know it. It’s difficult to retreat. And this place happens to be in the buffer zone between Zhang Quanyi and He Zudao. Leader He really knows how to choose a place!”
"It is also a helpless move!" He Yiming said: "The business of the Caobang is shrinking, and the members of the Caobang can no longer support their families. And looking at this situation, chaos in the world is inevitable. We can only form associations to protect ourselves. But In this current situation, I am still extremely scared. Without strong backing, we are like a candle in the strong wind, which may be extinguished at any time. Fortunately, now we have Mr. Ke and Li Duhu, and I am here. Only then can we truly feel at ease."
Li Dachui turned to look at Ke Wuji: "Are you really going to transfer all your troops to Ning County and go from darkness to light?"
"Capital Protector? , for countless years, the world has made many slanderous remarks about our divine religion, and most of the people who join our religion are ordinary people at the bottom, so it is difficult for them to have a channel to speak out for themselves. In fact, everything our divine religion has done. Each and every one of them is trying to solve the worries of the people and the difficulties of the world, but because it is contrary to the interests of those in power, they have put countless slanderous words on us, and this is a vicious cycle. This has made our situation worse and worse. It has also made many people in high positions in our religion unwilling to openly promote the teachings of our religion. Instead, they only use our religion as a tool, and use it when it can be used, and when it is not needed, use it. Abandon it and put it in your shoes."
Li Dachui nodded, he was talking about Nanchu Jiangqian and his gang.
When he came to power in the Chu Kingdom, the first thing he did was to start turning his sword around and massacre his former partners and comrades-in-arms.
Because people like Jiang Qian now represent the powerful class of Chu State.
Of course they cannot allow those guys from the Demon Sect who take rebellion as their mission to mess up Chu State.
As for equalizing the rich and the poor, equaling the rich and the poor,
it’s okay to shout slogans, but if you really want to achieve it, how can it be possible?
Even within the divine religion, there is a strict hierarchy!
"So I want to raise a banner and attract like-minded people to come to Ning County to create a great cause together!" Ke Wuji said: "The divine religion has been operating for hundreds of years. Although it has been suppressed by those in power and its power is declining, it is not without capital. "
"He Zudao still wants to use you. Firstly, as your power grows, you will inevitably expand outwards. You can be used to attack Zhang Quanyi. Secondly, if you develop well, you will attract Chu. The other demonic sects in the country seem to be colluding with each other, which will put a certain amount of pressure on Chu State, so you are He Zudao's bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Nan Chu. This guy will not suffer any loss inside or outside. You must be careful. ,"
"I will be careful!" Ke Wuji said. "A person like He Zudao can betray anyone as long as the benefits are sufficient. He doesn't even care about his father's life or death, let alone people like us. At the moment, we can only say that we still need each other!"
The boat turned left and right in the river. Finally, after passing through a narrow river that looked like the mouth of a bottle, the eyes suddenly opened up. A large calm mirror-like lake surface appeared in front of us. On the shore, there were countless There are rows of houses, and boats of different sizes are parked beside the wooden trestle.
“This is our Cao Gang’s base camp in Ning County!” He Yiming pointed to the houses in front. "Now we are training the navy."
On the big lake, groups of ships were going back and forth, with flags flying and drums beating continuously. It looked like two teams were fighting back and forth.
“It looks quite impressive already!” Ke Wuji said with a smile.
“We dare not say it on the road, but on the water, our Cao Gang is still somewhat confident!” He Yiming said with a smile. "If the Protectorate can help us solve the problems on land next, then we will have no shortcomings in Ning County. As long as we operate well internally and continue to expand externally, we will definitely be able to do something great." "Wei Yi has already done something good. Hedong County has been abandoned, and his main force is withdrawing to Chang'an via Yongfeng. "It turns out that our main force in Yongfeng is also going to withdraw to Chang'an. Now that we have Ning County, we will deploy part of it." Come to Ning County! "
" Protector, be careful of Linghu Zhishu. If this person finds out that you are the one behind our Ning County, I'm afraid He Zudao will not be the same as he is now. "Ke Wuji reminded: "He Zudao has always been afraid of you, and now I'm afraid he has heard those rumors. Once he believes it, he will definitely find a way to suppress you crazily."
< br>
"Of course." Li Dachui said: "You don't have independent capital now, so of course you have to be careful and don't let outsiders see our trump cards. Zhang Qingyun will be able to handle these things well. On the surface, Ning County is just a demon. It's just a union between the Sect and the Caobang."
"Zhang Quanyi is taking advantage of this opportunity to go north to take Xingyang. This will create a rare period of strategic opportunity for us!" Ke Wuji said: " Otherwise Zhang Quanyi will not tolerate us messing around with him. When he takes Xingyang and looks back, he will find that if he wants to bite us again, the price he has to pay will be unbearable. At that time, It’s time to negotiate!”
“Zhang Quanyi won’t last long!” Li Dachui shook his head.
“You mean?”
“Since Linghuye has captured Hedong County and controlled Tongguan, he will definitely not let Luoyang go next!” Li Dachui said : "Compared to Chang'an, Luoyang is naturally easier to fight. Zhang Quanyi believed that Linghuye would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Chang'an, so he sent troops to capture Xingyang. This was because he didn't understand Linghuye very well."< br>
"Will Linghuye suddenly turn around and come to take Luoyang?"
"Definitely!" Li Dachui said: "Next, people like Chang Lei and Linghu Shili will inevitably cross Tongguan and join forces with Li Guohua to attack Luoyang. , and the Chen family of Qijun and the Qin family of Donghai who had just been taught a lesson by Zhang Quanyi will naturally come forward. Let alone Zhang Quanyi, he will not be able to stay in Luoyang for long."
" If we are neighbors with Linghu Ye, our life will be even worse!" He Yiming was worried.
Li Dachui smiled and said: "Don't forget, you are He Zudao's people. If Zhang Quanyi cannot support him, he will definitely defect to He Zudao. Without Zhang Quanyi in Luoyang, he has completely become He Zudao's subordinates. "
"So what we are going to deal with next is actually the Linghuye Group!" Ke Wuji suddenly realized.
"The pressure will indeed be greater, but it's just that under the strong pressure, neither He Zudao nor Zhang Quanyi will abandon you easily, especially after you have shown a certain strength. After that! The navy division will be the main one, and the land division will be the supplementary one. Let’s have a good fight with Ling Huye’s subordinates on this land.”
“Do you still want to take the initiative?”
< br>"When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy retreats, we pursue, lure the enemy deeper, close the door and beat the dog!" Li Dachui laughed loudly: "This is your territory, Linghuye's army is here There is indeed a way to fight on land, but on the water, at least now they only know nine things."
"It turns out that they know nothing!" He Yiming laughed. "Guardian, come and have a look at the village. Although it is not big, the sparrows are small, but they are well-equipped. We can build all the boats below 100 meters here."
One hundred materials, in such a river, is already considered a big ship.
Even in a big river, Bailiu is still a medium-sized warship.
Hearing this, Li Dachui was a little surprised. He cared more about the technical strength here than how many troops there were.
"Then let's go and have a look. I'll be leaving in two days!"
"Where are the guards going?"
"Go to Xiangcheng first Let’s take a look, maybe I’ll go to Ruyin County, and finally, I think I’ll go to Danyang! When I get back from Danyang, I’ll go to your Demon Cult Headquarters and have a look.” Li Dachui smiled at Ke Wu. Taboo. "I'm really curious about your grandmasters."
