Li Guoying rode on a tall and maroon horse, looking at the golden wheat field in front of him, feeling very proud.

This time to attack Sichuan was very good, just before the autumn harvest.

If the time was earlier, the food had not yet matured. If it came too late, the food had been taken away and they could not grab a single pill.

Now it will be better and you can grab the grain.

Compared to silver, what the Qing army in Shaanxi now needs more is food.

Guanzhong has thousands of miles of land, and grain is in short supply for many years. In this case, it is basically a matter of relying on imported grain from other provinces to survive.

Before, it was mainly based on Huguang. Now that Huguang has been taken away by the Ming army, Li Guoying has been weaned and can only find another way out.

The best and most direct way is to grab it.

Sichuan is a region controlled by the Ming army in Shaanxi, and is also a relatively soft persimmon in the area controlled by the Ming army.

It is perfect to choose this place to start.

Since Li Guoying's purpose is to grab food, he will naturally run away if he grabs it.

He doesn't know how to fight, and he won't know how to attack the city.

At most, the idea of ​​fighting the county town.

These county towns are basically rammed earth walls and no bricks are wrapped.

The height of the city wall is also very limited, so it is relatively easy to attack.

Of course, Li Guoying was just watching, and if the momentum was not right, he would run away immediately.

After all, the purpose of attacking the county town is to grab grain, because the county town has a lot of grain reserves.

But Li Guoying would not defend the city because he knew it was impossible to defend it.

Ming Jun could not allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed.

Li Guoying is very sensible and conscious of the current affairs. If you grab it, you will run away.

The Qing army was as excited as they saw the golden wheat, their eyes shining brightly.

They carried horizontal knives to grab the wheat and put it in the backpack behind them.

If someone sees it, it will almost fall down. This is not an army, it is clearly a group of farmers.

However, the Qing army seemed to care nothing.

They only care about how much food they can grab, which is related to whether they can eat enough this year.

You can definitely not survive this winter by relying on the food stored in Guanzhong alone.

Li Guoying was very satisfied with the current situation. It seemed that the Ming army had no intention of leaving the city to seek war.

The Ming army was as afraid of him as a tiger, and it seemed that they only dared to hide in the city.

This is naturally the best.

Lee Guoying doesn't want to start a war at this time.

He would not take the initiative if he didn't want to fight. If he wanted to fight, he would seek a fight.

"Governor General, the Baoning Mansion is so rich, let alone the Chengdu Mansion. In my humble opinion, it is better for us to grab the Chengdu Mansion directly after we have grabbed Baoning."

Feng Enguang's face was full of pride.

Things went much smoother than they expected. After grabbing this ticket at this speed, not only will there be enough food this year, but there will be some food for the first half of next year.

Now the court is too busy to take care of itself, and does not have the energy to pay attention to remote places like Shaanxi.

They can only rely on themselves and cannot place their fantasies on the court.

"Well, Chengdu must be robbed. However, Chengdu's garrison must be much more than Baoning. If we go rashly, will it arouse the vigilance of Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan and take the initiative to go out of the city to seek war?"

These two people are no better than the guards of Baoning Mansion. They are well-known figures in the Ming army.

If both sides really fight in the field, Li Guoying will not have any confidence in winning.

But Chengdu is really tempting.

It's like a roasted golden and translucent roast chicken, which makes people salivate.

"They shouldn't dare to be so bold, right? After all, the importance of Chengdu Prefecture is far greater than that of other prefectures and counties. They dare to guarantee that they can win the battle when they go out of the city. If they can't win, Chengdu will be in danger."

Feng Enguang’s analysis is very clear? It’s not unreasonable to think about it carefully.

It depends on whether you are brave enough, and you have a bet.

The so-called courageous people to death, and the timid people to death.

Li Guoying really wants to go to Chengdu? This temptation is really undeniable.

"After rushing to collect the food today? Let's go to Chengdu."

In the end, Lee Guoying made up his mind.

I'm here? If I don't go to Chengdu, I'm sorry for the hard work I've been through

"Mr. Jun Ye is good, Jun Ye is good. These foods are the last food for my family. If you snatch them away, you will really not be able to get rid of the blame."

A woman was pulling a shriveled grain bag without letting go? A Qing soldier was pulling him hard on the other side.

He glared at the woman and said, "Give shameless things? What's the use of these nonsense? If you don't take away your food, I'll starve. I care whether you die."

"Get out of here, or I'm not polite."

The Qing soldiers threatened them fiercely.

"Mr. Jun Ye is good, this food is our life-saving food."

The woman cried in tears and shouted heart-wrenchingly.

"Dog thing!"

The Qing soldier roared impatiently and kicked the woman.

The woman lost her balance in an instant? She leaned back and fell down.

Unfortunately, there was a stone behind her? When her head fell down, it just hit the stone.

The woman fainted instantly? Blood flowed out from behind her head.

The Qing soldiers sneered, and then turned around and left with a sack.

This village was looted by the Qing soldiers like all nearby villages.

The Qing soldiers were like locusts, gnawing everywhere they went.

"It's really a sin."

An old man sat on the millstone at the entrance of the village, looked at the Qing soldiers who were walking away and cursed: "People are doing things and God is watching. Sooner or later, God will take you!"

In Baoning City? The guard general Ma Zhong called him a trap.

At first, he thought the Qing army was coming to Baoning City, so he ordered the withdrawal of all the nearby garrison troops and prepared to defend Baoning to the death.

But now it seems that the Qing army is completely firing a shot.

From the beginning, Li Guoying, a dog thief, did not want to attack Baoning City.

Li Guoying took advantage of the time when the Ming army was defending Baoning to seize the food? Then he patted his butt and left.

Ma Zhongzhi regretted it.

Li Guoying snatched off Baoning’s food. What are the local people eating?

I can only transfer food from Chengdu.

If this news reaches Chengdu, what will the two princes think? Will he be punished for his serious crime of fearing the enemy and fighting?

Ma Zhong kept asking for stability but did not expect to make a mistake.

If you don’t have to wait for death here? He must atone for his sins!

Ma Zhong immediately wrote a handwritten letter to explain the situation of the Qing army's invasion, and specifically emphasized in the letter that the purpose of the Qing army was to seize food rather than to attack the city, and asked Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan to prepare in advance.

"Send this letter to Chengdu immediately. Remember to be ahead of the Tartars and hand it over to the two princes in person."

Ma Zhong did not dare to be careless at all because of his wealth and life.
