Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Huangshi, Hubei, green tents are neatly set up at the foot of the mountain. Looking from the top of the mountain, these tents extend for several miles along the foot of the mountain towards Macheng. There are also groups of soldiers patrolling around these thousands of tents.  In the center of the tent stands a large tent. The battlefield of this tent is very wide, as big as two rooms. At this time, dozens of military generals wearing various armors are sitting in this tent. The first one is sitting on the top.  There are Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, the two top commanders in charge of suppressing bandits in Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi.  ¡­¨Q It stands to reason that the anti-bandit operations in the Central Plains are progressing smoothly these days. Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others were defeated by tens of thousands of imperial troops led by Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. They are now vaguely surrounded in the mountainous area less than a hundred miles away from Huangshi.  In the area, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were already preparing to eliminate this scourge in one fell swoop, but at this time something unexpected came from the court that no one expected.  At this time, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who were sitting in the first place, looked very ugly. Yang Tinglin, who was sitting on the lower left side of Lu Xiangsheng, was silent as he held an official document from the court in his hand, while the other generals sitting in the commander's tent were stealing.  Whispering, many people turned their attention to the two generals wearing green military uniforms sitting on the right. These two people were naturally Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei who came to help in the battle.  After a long time, Yang Tinglin put down the official document in his hand and said slowly to Lu Xiangsheng: "Jiandou, why don't we jointly send an official document to the court, asking the court to postpone Boya's transfer to Sichuan, and we can go to Sichuan together after Chuangni is annihilated.  Wouldn't this make it more certain to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop? " "It's too late!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Hong Chengchou was ambushed and defeated, and only 6,000 of the 20,000-strong army were trapped in Chengdu.  It has been surrounded by Zhang Xianzhong's 70,000 to 80,000 bandits. If there is no reinforcements to rescue him, it is estimated that he will not be able to survive for a few days. If the level is lost, all of Sichuan will fall, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so the court ordered Boya to rush within a month.  Go to Chengdu to break the siege of Chengdu." "Alas" Yang Tinglin slapped the table and sighed: "Seeing that the bandits are about to be exterminated, is it really the case that Tian Bujue is rebelling?" Sun Chuanting said with a cold face.  Said: "If it weren't for someone who was so proud of his achievements and commanded blindly, Hong Chengchou would not have lost his troops, let alone what happened today." "Bo Ya be careful!" Lu Xiangsheng quickly interrupted Sun Chuanting, "Death is the most important thing, let's talk about it.  This matter is not something a gentleman would do, not to mention that the court has reached a conclusion on this matter, so let¡¯s not settle old scores.¡± ¡°Humph¡­¡± After hearing Lu Xiangsheng¡¯s words, Sun Chuanting snorted and then stopped bitterly.  After being silent for a while, Sun Chuanting said: "It's a long way to Sichuan, and you all know how difficult the road to Shu is. Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong is not only cruel and cruel, but also extremely cunning. I want to bring five thousand Xuan troops into Sichuan. The two of them think  How's that?" "This" Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin looked at each other and pondered.  Over the past two months, the generals under Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting have finally seen the power of Xuan Dajun. When facing the enemy, Xuan Dajun always rushes to the front line. The power of Xuan Dajun's artillery phalanx also makes all those who originally doubted  Their people shut their mouths.  Under the firing of countless guns, no matter how many thieves and bandits were turned into dead souls in front of them, and the Xuan Army's military discipline was strict and its logistics support was strong, no matter where it went, the Xuan Army's logistics support would go there, even if they needed to buy supplies.  What he took out was also white coins, and he would never do anything to bully others.  As the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods. Compared with Xuan Dajun's strict military discipline and no offense to the common people.  Although Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were quite rigorous in running the army, sergeants still caused troubles from time to time. Although they did not make big mistakes, they also made small mistakes, which made them feel very embarrassed.  Now Sun Chuanting is going to be transferred.  His first thought was not to bargain with the court, but to mobilize part of Xuan Dajun to go to Sichuan with him, which also made Lu Xiangsheng feel embarrassed.  After pondering for a long time, Lu Xiangsheng said to Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei who were sitting aside: "Commander Yang, Commander Hu. You have all heard what Mr. Sun said. He intends to transfer one of you to join him in Sichuan."  "What do you think?" Lord Hu looked at Yang Guozhu.  Indicate him to speak first.  Yang Guozhu shook his head and said: "Master Lu, the two generals said when they first came here, if they are separated, then the two adults will be responsible for all the food, pay and supplies of the army.  If they agree, the two generals will agree to follow Mr. Sun into Sichuan. " As soon as Yang Guozhu finished speaking, Sun Chuanting said, "I can agree to this. As long as you two agree to divide 5,000 people into Sichuan with me, then these 5,000 will be given.  A person's food, wages, supplies, and supplies are all important to him.Now, even if you don¡¯t have an official, you can still pay money to buy it from Marquis Zhongyong.  " "Wait a minute" Hu Dawei spoke at this time, "Master Sun, you are responsible for the food and supplies of the five thousand Xuan army who entered Sichuan with you. Who will be responsible for the five thousand people who stayed behind?  " Sun Chuanting said without thinking: "There is no need to ask, of course Jiandou is responsible.  " "This is unreasonable, how can such a thing happen!  Before Lu Xiangsheng could speak, Yang Tinglin jumped up first, "Bo Ya, we have done our best by agreeing to give you half of Xuan's army. Do we still have to be responsible for their materials and military pay?"  " "Why are you not responsible? I only took away five thousand people, so naturally I am only responsible for the military supplies and wages of these five thousand people. The remaining five thousand people are helping you fight. Shouldn't you be responsible?  "Sun Chuanting is also holding back his anger. I only took away five thousand people, but you asked me to be responsible for everyone's supplies and military pay. Do I look like someone who has been taken advantage of? Yang Tinglin and Lu Xiangsheng are also feeling bad these days.  Yang Guozhu and others helped me fight the war by bringing their own food and weapons. They didn¡¯t need a dime from me. It was purely a free and voluntary help. Now that I kindly asked you to take away half of the troops, it doesn¡¯t count, but I have to start feeding these people from my own pocket.  There is no such good thing in the world. Lu Xiangsheng said with a stern face: "Bo Ya, it's good that I let you take away five thousand soldiers and horses. Shouldn't you bear the food, food and expenses for the other half of Xuan's army?"  Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "These troops are fighting under your command, why do you let me bear their expenses?"  Yang Tinglin retorted: "But originally we didn't have to pay a penny, but now we are asked to pay money. What's the point of this?"  " This is the so-called butt that determines the head. In fact, it stands to reason that Xuan Dajun comes to help, and they should pay for the weapons, food, and wages. But who makes Xuan Dajun rich? Not only does he help voluntarily, but he also doesn't pay a dime. This kind of  Over time, everyone felt that it was natural and appropriate for Xuan Dajun to help out on a voluntary basis, but they were not used to it when they were suddenly asked to support these people out of their own pockets, so the two coaches started arguing.  He stood up and cupped his hands to the three of them and said: "My lords, I think it is better to let Xuan's army cooperate with Lu Governor to encircle and suppress Chuang Ni. After Chuang Ni is defeated, Commander Yang and Commander Tiger will rush to Sichuan to assist."  How about Sun Duchen annihilating Zhang Xianzhong?  " "Why!  " As soon as Cao Bianjiao spoke, he heard a shout from next to him. He Renlong, who was sitting next to him, stood up and said loudly: "Why should Xuan Dajun stay here to encircle and suppress the intruders?  Anyway, the intruders have been beaten by us now. Lu Duchen now has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough to deal with these defeated soldiers. We might as well let Xuan Dajun go to Sichuan with us to fight Zhang Xianzhong.  " "What did you say!  " Cao Bianjiao was also annoyed. He pointed at He Renlong and cursed: "Don't you know how cunning the intruder is? Hasn't he escaped from the imperial army so many times in recent years?  After finally being besieged here this time, we should catch them all in one fell swoop. If they are allowed to escape due to lack of troops, who will bear the responsibility!  " He Renlong sneered and said: "If you can still let the intruder escape this time, it will only prove that you are too incompetent. What does this have to do with us.  "    "fart!  "A thunderous sound came out of Cao Bianjiao's mouth, and he shouted angrily: "He, if you continue to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will beat you up!"  " He Renlong also jumped up: "Come here, I'm still afraid of you!  " Both of them had bad tempers. As they spoke, they were about to start fighting. However, the generals belonging to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting in the big tent hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two back. Looking at the messy big tent, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng  They all felt a headache. After all, it was Xuan Dajun who caused the quarrel. The two sides had been arguing for a long time and still had no result. After a long time, someone suddenly asked: "General Yang, General Hu, what do you mean?"  Woolen cloth?  " As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent. Then they remembered that the real owner had not said a word yet. Is it interesting for everyone to fight to the death here? Many people's faces began to turn red. It was really embarrassing. " Cough  Cough" Lu Xiangsheng coughed a few times and then said: "Commander Yang, Commander Tiger, what do you think of our proposal just now?  " In fact, just now when the people in the commander's tent were discussing the ownership of the army, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were already very unhappy. You sisters, you are talking about our ownership, but no one asked us what we meant. Really  Do you think we are nothing? Yang Guozhu has a mature temperament and can tolerate it, but Hu Dawei, who is a little impatient, has a look of anger on his face.??If Yang Guozhu hadn't winked at him several times, he would have gone crazy.  Now that he heard Lu Xiangsheng's question, Hu Dawei spit out the words he had been holding in his heart for a long time: "Lu Duchen, Sun Duchen, please tell me what's on your mind. I remember that before I came here, Lord Yue said  After saying this, Xuan Dajun did not come to help because of his duty, but he came to help out of love. After all, the court did not give us a penny. Whether it was the luggage, food, or casualty compensation, it was all paid by the Marquis alone. Originally, many of his colleagues paid for it.  He was not in favor of sending troops, but the Marquis said that we have suffered enough civilian casualties in the Ming Dynasty over the years, so we should put down these bandits as soon as possible so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, he sent out the general and General Yang.  Now it is a sudden change in Sichuan, and it is a fact that the imperial army is short of troops, but the general found that the two governors were trying to push back and forth for a little money. This situation is unimaginable in our Xuan army, which makes the general and others really unhappy.  "Excuse me, is a little money so important?" "How dare you!" "Hu Dawei How dare you talk to the two governors like this!" "Hu Dawei just finished speaking.  Everyone inside was excited.  After Hu Dawei finished speaking, he sat down again and ignored the excited people around him.  Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of shame in each other's eyes. Alas people are really poor and short-minded. If only they could have more money, why would they be so demanding that their subordinates would be disappointed?  Read the joke.  After arguing for a long time, we finally decided to set a deadline of one month.  Let Xuan Dajun stay in Huangshi to help Lu Xiangsheng exterminate Li Zicheng and his gang of bandits first, and then let him go to Sichuan a month later to assist Sun Chuanting in annihilating Zhang Xianzhong.  Sun Chuanting left the next day after receiving the imperial edict. After all, the military situation was urgent. If he stayed here for too long and Chengdu fell, Sun Chuanting would have to walk around without food.  After Sun Chuanting left, Lu Xiangsheng also began to intensify his efforts to encircle and suppress the troops of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.  As a result, Li Zicheng couldn't hold on any longer.  There is a mountain range in the north of Huangshi, which is covered by dense forests. The remnant troops led by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai are hiding in this mountain range to linger.  But at this time, in a cave, Luo Rucai, the former majestic "general of great virtue to support the people on behalf of heaven", was tied to a stone with five-flowered hair. Standing around him were more than ten men in different clothes.  The leader is Li Zicheng, who is known as the King of Chuang.  Looking at Li Zicheng and the generals behind him.  Luo Rucai's eyes almost burst out with fire.  "Li Zicheng, you despicable villain, I really misjudged you, and I mistakenly believed you and kept your appointment. I didn't expect that you would attack your brother now that the enemy is facing us, hahaha I didn't expect that there are still people in the world.  I really opened my eyes to such a stupid person!" At this time, Li Zicheng's face had long lost the perseverance he had in the past, and was replaced by ruthlessness and viciousness. He said solemnly: "Live Cao Cao, you could have survived.  Yes, but you should never refuse my request. Now that you are so disregarded of the overall situation, do you think you should die?" "Hahahahaha" Luo Ru just laughed, laughing so hard.  He was out of breath, and finally gasped: "What you mean by considering the overall situation is to give you my troops and horses for you to command? Or do you think I am a fool?" Li Zicheng said with a serious face: "  Isn't it? At this time of life and death, we should stick together to survive the difficulties, otherwise sooner or later we will be defeated by the officers and soldiers, shouldn't you leave the troops to my command? " Luo Rucai said with a sarcastic look on his face.  It's better than singing. Why don't you give me your troops? I can also direct it for you!" "Do youhave that ability?" Li Zicheng looked at Luo Rucai contemptuously: "What time is it now?  You still keep so many opera actors and bitches in the camp, drinking and having fun every day. Do you think you don't die quickly enough? " "That's my own business. I slept with the stolen women.  It's not your wife who has nothing to do with you!" Luo Rucai suddenly struggled and shouted like a madman: "You are incompetent and let your wife cuckold you. Why are you so angry at me? Why don't you let me play with women?  "Li Zicheng's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. Li Zicheng's life was hard enough.  It stands to reason that when he was a child, he herded sheep for the landlord's family. When he grew up, he somehow found his way into the civil service and worked as a gatekeeper at the Yinchuan Post and Telecommunications Bureau while delivering letters.  Originally, this was not bad. A shepherd boy could be considered a successful person if he was able to earn a living from the government.  But something unexpected happened, and the government cut back on expenditures, and he was laid off as a civil servant.  It would have been unlucky to be laid off, but when he came homeWhen he was young, he discovered that his wife Han Jin'er had become a confidant with a bachelor named Gai Hu'er in the village. As we all know, the so-called confidant is the most troublesome thing. If you are blue, you may be green.  .  How could a man from northern Shaanxi stand this humiliation? He killed his wife on the spot and then ran away.  Later, he took refuge with Gao Yingxiang and became a bandit leader. He then married a daughter-in-law named Xing. However, not long after, this Xing actually committed adultery with his general Gao Jie. After the incident was revealed, the two simply broke up.  He surrendered to the imperial court without hesitation.  Finally, Gao Yingxiang saw that Li Zicheng was so unlucky that his two wives had cheated on him, and his head was so green that he married his daughter Gao Guiying to him.  For a man like him whose wives have cheated on him one after another, what he hates the most is someone exposing his scars. When he heard this, a murderous look flashed in Li Zicheng's eyes. The sword on Li Zicheng's waist was unsheathed, and he only heard the sound of "clang".  In a flash, Luo Rucai's neck immediately spurted out a mist of blood, and soon he was dead.  After sheathing the sword, Li Zicheng said coldly to Li Guo behind him: "Immediately lead people to surround the living Cao Cao's camp and tell them that Luo Rucai is dead. From today on, everyone must obey my orders. Who can  If you don't obey, kill them all!" "Yes!" Li Guo agreed quickly and then strode out.  That night, Li Zicheng's confidant general Li Guo led thousands of old camp troops and tens of thousands of refugees to surround Luo Rucai's camp. Although Luo Rucai had a bad life style, he was loyal, so he was very popular among the soldiers, so his subordinates  After hearing that Luo Rucai was dead, they all quit. They started fighting with Li Zicheng's men. The two sides fought for a long time. Most of Luo Rucai's men were wiped out. Only the generals Yang Chengzu, Wang Long and others escaped, and this  It also coincided with the time when Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
