Chapter 256 Li Yan and the Red Lady(1/2)
Li Yan and Hong Niangzi are still alive, and playing for Zhang Hua is quite surprised.
It is said that Li Yan was a wealthy scholar from the late Ming Dynasty to help the victims. He was later captured by the rebel Hongniang. Because of his romantic appearance, he was forced to join the peasant uprising army and was also one of the few scholars among the top leaders of the Dashun Army.
Since he was a scholar, Li Yan helped Li Zicheng to propose the program of the uprising, that is, "the king of rebellion will not pay grain when he comes", and equalizes the land and exempts taxes from the farmers, and then plunders the wealthy households and princes and nobles to supplement military supplies.
Li Yan's ability is quite good, and he is one of the few generals in the Dashun army who are both civil and military.

【Level】: 55
[Commander]: 85 [Military power]: 70 [Intellect]: 86 [Politics]: 78
[Talent]: Appease the people's hearts (Li Yan has the ability to be gentle with the people's hearts. Through disaster relief, equalization of land and tax exemption, he can improve his prestige among the people and gain appeal, so that the efficiency of raising troops, corvee and other things that are exhausted and damaged by money will be greatly improved, and the impact on the people's hearts will be reduced)

...
The abilities of Li Yan and Hong Niangzi and his wife are already considered good among the generals of the Dashun Army.
Li Yan is good at pacifying people's hearts, and has a great role in the Dashun Army and has a low status.
Hong Niangzi is obviously not a military general of the type of military command, but a military general of the type of personal force.
Then there is Gao Guiying's brother, Gao Yigong.
【Hero】: High School
【Level】: 60
[Commander]: 70 [Military power]: 80 [Intellect]: 66 [Politics]: 45
[Talent]: Unyielding (significantly improve the resilience of the legion, the less force, the higher the increase)
【Series of Arms】: Zhongzhen Camp
[Article]: General of the Dashun Army, the younger brother of Gao Guiying.
Gao Yigong is relatively mediocre, and he cannot stand alone in Zhang Hua's power, but in the Dashun Army, Gao Yigong is already a good general.
After Zhang Hua roughly understood the heroic attributes of these Dashun Army generals, he knew it.
These generals can win by fighting with more and less, but they still lack first-class generals to take charge.
Zhang Hua did not intend to use the Dashun Army as the main force.
The Dashun Army mainly focuses on defense, sticking to Tongwan Town, Shenmu Village, Mizhi Village and other places, and just resisting enemies from the northern grasslands.
The grassland north of the Loess Plateau is extremely vast, with thousands of nomadic tribes. The Tuoba Xianbei is just one of the strongest forces, including the Huns, Turks, Mongols, and even the Xianbei people.
Tuoba Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and Murong Xianbei are the three most powerful branches of the Xianbei tribe.
In order to ensure the loyalty of the Dashun Army, Zhang Hua moved most of the Dashun Army's soldiers to Chang'an to live.
If the Dashun Army rebelled, these families would be subject to joint seizures.
Although this approach is a bit unkind, this is a way to control people's hearts.
"Tuoba Tao moved at least 200,000 people."
"The main city of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe is in the clouds. If we pursue the grassland, we may be besieged by Xianbei, Turkic tribes, etc., so it would be better to give up this idea."
"The situation on the prairie is complicated and difficult to conquer."
"Tongwan Town, Mizhi Village and Shenmu Village are the three northern towns to resist the military attacks of the Xianbei people and Turks."
"Gao Yigong served as the garrison commander of Tongwan, with a total of 20,000 troops."
"Gao Guiying served as the garrison of Mizhi Village and had 40,000 troops."
"Li Yan served as the guardian of Shenmuzhai, with 20,000 troops."
Zhang Hua began to build a northern defense line.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to deal with the Rouran people, Tuoba Tao established six northern towns.
Zhang Hua imitated Tuoba Tao and established three northern towns, with 80,000 troops.
Wang Shouren readjusted the beacon tower and defense line to prevent Tuoba Tao's cavalry from moving south again.
Zhang Hua is still competing for the Central Plains, so he has no time to fight the prairie in the north.
With Zhang Hua's power, he does not have the ability to sweep the grasslands at present.
The entire prairie tribe was full of soldiers, with a vast land and sparse population. The Central Plains dynasty concentrated the national strength of the entire Central Plains to barely defeat the nomadic tribes and may be defeated in battle.
Zhang Hua is just one of the princes of the Central Plains and cannot flatten the entire grassland.
"Bring the captured Liu Zongmin."
There was also a captive general of the Dashun army of King Li Zicheng, who did not surrender, that was the most powerful general under King Li Zicheng.
Liu Zongmin followed Li Zicheng uprising very early. He was originally a blacksmith in Lantian County. Because he had been scrambling irons for a long time, his arm strength was amazing and it was easy to wield weapons.
In history, Liu Zongmin forced Chen Yuanyuan, indirectly influenced Wu Sangui's decision and defected to Dorgon's Qing army.
However, Zhang Hua did not believe that a hero like Wu Sangui would make such an important decision because of a woman, Chen Yuanyuan was just one reason.
Soon, Liu Zongmin was captured, and was taken to Zhang Hua.
Liu Zongmin was knocked unconscious by Xu Chu, almost killed, and was rescued by Li Shizhen from the Gate of Hell.
Liu Zongmin, who was crushed by Xu Chu, has become much more honest at this time.
Liu Zongmin is tall and has a slightly dark body due to long-term ironwork. He has a strong muscle and a beard, making him look like a burly man.
Previously, Liu Zongmin, Lu Lingqi and Ran Liang had both fought against each other and were at a disadvantage, so Zhang Hua estimated that Liu Zongmin's force was around 90.
"Liu Zongmin, the King of Chuang is dead, Gao Guiying, Li Yan and others have also surrendered. What do you think?"
Seeing that Liu Zongmin was a powerful general, Zhang Hua planned to take Liu Zongmin under his command.
"I'm afraid I have no choice, I only have brute force, so I don't dislike it."
Liu Zongmin was beaten and therefore obeyed.
There is no need to waste words with these rough people, only by using fists can you reason.
"You assist Gao Guiying and guard Mizhizhai. If Mizhizhai is in trouble, then you come and see you."
"yes!"
Liu Zongmin's fear of Zhang Hua is still above the King of Rebellion Li Zicheng.
Zhang Hua successively defeated An Lushan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Emperor Mugong of Qin, and Emperor Wanyan Zongwang of even Tuoba Tao's Northern Wei army was helpless against Zhang Hua.
After Liu Zongmin surrendered, Zhang Hua checked the hero panel of the last Dashun Army general who joined his power.
【Hero】: Liu Zongmin
【Level】: 67
[Commander]: 76 [Military power]: 90 [Intellect]: 66 [Politics]: 11
[First Talent]: Rigid Body (The lower the blood volume of Liu Zongmin, the stronger the defense, and he can use true qi to repeatedly temper the body, so that the body finally has the strength comparable to a weapon - my body is a weapon)
[Second Talent]: Weapon Forging (Liu Zongmin has superb weapon forging skills, making it easier to create excellent weapons used by generals)
【Life Skills】: Advanced Tempering, Advanced Iron Smelting
[Type of Arms]: Dashun Army (second-level to fourth-level troops, talented "sweeping")
[Article]: General of the Dashun Army.
...
Liu Zongmin's talent is the same as Ma Wu, the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. They all pursue physical tempering and regard their bodies as weapons.
Liu Zongmin was also quite resistant to beating. Even when he was exhausted, he was hit in the abdomen with a punch from Xu Chugang, but he was not killed in battle.
Moreover, Liu Zongmin did not forget his old career. He had the talent to forge weapons. He could be both a general and a high-level blacksmith.
Liu Zongmin helped Li Zicheng's army build a lot of weapons.
In any case, Gao Guiying's Dashun Legion had a powerful general who charged into battle after Liu Zongmin's return.
Liu Zongmin's martial arts and talent are theoretically difficult to die in battle as long as he does not encounter Yang Dayan or Xu Chu's level.
