Qian Song

Chapter 22
...

Li Cun himself did not expect that in less than ten days, he would be able to gather nearly ten thousand horses.

And this is not counting the military members of the Huben Army. If the military members of the Huben Army are included, Li Cun already has more than 3 horses.

If Fang Baihuajun is included.

It's hard to say who is stronger, Li Cun or Fang La.

After all, Li Cun is a Huben army built by combining many excellent military training methods and battle formations from ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Its combat power should be much higher than Fang La's peasant army, right?

pity!

Li Cun's development, so far, may have to come to an end!
Is it because Li Cun doesn't want to recruit any more troops?

Of course not, Li Cun is Han Xin's order of troops, the more the better.

However, the reality is that Li Cun is no longer allowed to expand.

First of all, almost all the people around here who want to join the rebel army have already joined.

The next one came from afar in the name of Mu Fangla.

With Fang La's group already aware of Li Cun's methods and using the same methods to guard against death, it is no longer so easy for Li Cun to attract those righteous men who already belong to him to him.

What's more, Li Cun's existing money and grain no longer support Li Cun's continued expansion.

In fact, if Fang Baihua hadn't brought a lot of "dowry", Li Cun's money and food would have been unable to support him long ago.

It was Fang Baihua who brought her family fortune to the Huben army to station here, and Li Cun was really rude to Fang Baihua, treating all Fang Baihua's money and food as his own money and food, and it took so long.

Now, due to Li Cun and Fang La's uprising in Bangyuandong, prices near Bangyuandong have skyrocketed.

for example:

In the past, a cow could be bought with only seven coins.

Now, a cow has been fried to seventy mints.

The war horses have skyrocketed from the original [-] yuan per horse to [-] yuan per horse.

Prices have doubled tenfold.

Some bold businessmen have really made a lot of money in Bangyuan Cave recently.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the money of Fang Youchang's family went into the pockets of these businessmen who dared to come to Qixian Village to do business.

Prices have risen to such a high level, even though Fang Baihua got a few from Fang La, there is nothing he can do about it, but he still can't afford the food and supplies for tens of thousands of people.

So Li Cun and Fang Baihua's money and food have really bottomed out this time.

……

In a shack behind the grain drying field.

……

At this moment, Fang Baihua didn't look like the tigress that Zhang Shikou was talking about, she was clearly a good wife.

Li Cun and Fang Baihua came to this step so quickly, it was both unexpected and reasonable.

First of all, Li Cun is not a good bird at all, he has been greedy for Fang Baihua's body for a long time, so he will naturally try to get Fang Baihua.

Moreover, if Li Cun does not get Fang Baihua, Fang Baihua's army will not completely belong to Li Cun.

This is something Li Cun, who is eager to become stronger, cannot tolerate.

Let's talk about Fang Baihua.

When Li Cun saw her for the first time, he hugged her in public, twice, and kept staring at her afterwards.

When I saw her for the second time, I "discussed marriage" with her, and the topic directly rose to the level of dowry.

When I saw her for the third time.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth times when I saw her, because outsiders were present, Li Cun didn't have many opportunities, so he could only secretly kiss and touch her when others were not paying attention.

For the seventh time, Li Cun simply took Fang Baihua out on the pretext of "going out to check the nearby terrain so that we can fight here in the future".

What's more, her and Li Cun's troubles are well known to everyone. Does anyone think that she and Li Cun are innocent?

result.

After that, whenever he had free time, Li Cun would ask Fang Baihua to go out to check the terrain.

Fang Baihua, who had completely lost everything, could only break the pot and let Li Cun manipulate her.

By the way, it was precisely because of this that Fang Baihua felt distressed and dared not say anything when Li Cun squandered Fang Baihua's wealth.

After Fang Baihua helped Li Cun get dressed, Li Cun turned around and gently helped Fang Baihua get dressed...

Although this was not the first time Fang Baihua had experienced this kind of thing, Fang Baihua was still very moved, and couldn't help thinking: "If you meet such a person, what's the point of dying?"

After the two of them got dressed, Li Cun put Fang Baihua on his lap, hugged her, and said, "If I can get you the best in this life, I will die without any regrets!"

Although Fang Baihua was very happy to hear what Li Cun said, she still said "peh pee pee": "The bad ones don't work, but the good ones." Then she blamed: "You can tell that you are a long-lived person at a glance. Can you say such unlucky words?"

Li Cun put his arms around Fang Baihua's neck, kissed Fang Baihua's cheek, and said, "Yes, how can I die, I am the one whose destiny belongs!"

Speaking of this, Li Cun looked at Fang Baihua and promised: "Xiaohua, if I become emperor in the future, I will make you my queen."

After hearing Li Cun's promise, Fang Baihua couldn't be happier at all.

It's not that Fang Baihua doesn't want to be a queen.

It's just that her elder brother Fang La also wants to be emperor, and although she doesn't study much, she also knows that there can only be one emperor in the end. Throughout the ages, most of those who want to be emperor will end up fighting each other to the death.

Fang Baihua didn't want to think about such a long time ago, she shook her head and said, "There will be no new food for another day or two, and the morale of the army will be disturbed. What should I do?"

Li Cun said confidently: "I have sent people to find out where to borrow food. I will dispatch troops tomorrow morning. You can rest assured."

Just as Fang Baihua wanted to tell Li Cun to be careful tomorrow, Zhang Shi's voice came from outside the shack: "Zihou, are you up?"

After all, he manages tens of thousands of people and is the backbone of tens of thousands of people. It is impossible for Li Cun to really disappear.

Therefore, before coming out, Li Cun secretly told his most trusted Zhang Shi about his whereabouts, and asked Zhang Shi to come to the shack to find him when he had important matters.

Li Cun knew that Zhang Shi was a clever ghost, and he could definitely guess what he was doing here, so it was impossible for Zhang Shi to find him if there was no important matter.

Therefore, when he heard Zhang Shi calling himself, Li Cun immediately opened the curtain of the shack and walked out, and then asked straight to the point: "What happened?"

The moment the curtain was lifted, Zhang Shizhen couldn't hold back his curiosity, and glanced into the shack——Zhang Shizhen had no other intentions, he just wanted to see if Fang Baihua was really in the shack.

Because Zhang Shi focused all his attention on the gossip, he didn't hear what Li Cun said at all.

Seeing this, Li Cun shook his head, then turned around and said, "An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her parents-in-law. The second brother is the closest person to me here. You should come out and meet him, otherwise he will always worry about it. If you are seen by him He shouldn't have seen it, do you think I should goug his eyes?"

Although Li Cunna threatened him by gouging his eyes, Zhang Shi still felt warm in his heart.

Zhang Shi knew that even though he was not as powerful as Niu Meng in martial arts, Fang Wuji in writing, and loyal and brave as the five idiots in the imperial court, Li Cun was still the closest to him. Otherwise, how could Li Cun tell him where he was going?
Now, Li Cun doesn't even have an affair with Fang Baihua behind his back.

This further shows that Li Cun is close to him.

Zhang Shi secretly said: "Li Zihou is the only one who treats me so badly, I will repay him."

But Zhang Shizuo said with a smile: "Zi Houxiu wants to arrange me, I just don't believe that Miss Fang will marry you, why would she do such a dirty thing?"

Li Cun didn't say much anymore, he knew that if Zhang Shi didn't see Fang Baihua coming out of the shack with his own eyes, he would definitely be scratching his head all the time.

After a while, Fang Baihua opened the curtain, walked out of the shack shyly, and saluted Zhang Shixing with a flushed face, "I've seen my second brother."

This time Zhang Shicai completely believed that Li Cun really succeeded, he quickly returned the courtesy: "I have met my brother and sister."

Then, Zhang Shichong gave Li Cun a thumbs up, he really admired Li Cun!
For one thing, Zhang Shi admired Li Cun's appetite, even a tigress as tall as Fang Baihua was willing to eat it, and he ate it with gusto!

Secondly, Zhang Shipei admired Li Cun's unscrupulous methods in order to strengthen his strength, and even used the beauty trick!
Three times later, Zhang Shi admired Li Cun's ability, and in just a few days, Li Cun completely took Fang Baihua down, what a skill!

Li Cuncai was not in the mood to discuss his ability to pick up girls with Zhang Shi, he said: "You have met me too, should we get down to business this time?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Shi hurriedly said seriously: "My elder brother has already found out that Yu Yancheng has gathered more than 2000 lihao to defend the country song, and is going to attack us tomorrow."

When Li Cun heard this, he smiled: "Oh? I haven't gone to beat him yet, but he is going to beat me first. It's interesting."
