Chapter 20 Return of the Demon King

The crazy Huang Hu, regardless of how many people followed him, rode his horse along the Sichuan-Shaanxi border and ran thirty or forty miles in one breath.

Sun Kewang was worried that he had led everyone to the hinterland of Sichuan, and when Yang Zhan came to his senses, he would close the door and deal with them. He shouted from behind: "Father, wait for me. Father, wait for me."

Other brothers also shouted: "Father, father..."

Huang Hu couldn't hear their shouts. The whistling wind in his ears separated him from this world. The blood sprayed in the air by Ge Bao opened his way to the magic empire. He would gallop on the road to the throne of the Demon King.

.

He is crazy in his own world.

Sun Kewang became cruel, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot at his horse's leg.

The injured horse dived forward due to inertia. Huang Hu touched the horse's back with his foot, turned around and charged towards the back.

He didn't care who these people were, he roared loudly, and swung out the tiger fist that he had just practiced to its peak.

Even though his adopted sons were highly skilled in martial arts and could dodge quickly, they could not help but suffer slight injuries here and there. The men and horses behind them who had no time to dodge suffered a terrible fate. They fell to the ground in a black mass, and the air was filled with blood.

Huang Hu sniffed the blood greedily and laughed loudly. After laughing, he felt refreshed and sobered up.

He waved to the dodging adopted sons, "Children, come here, what's going on?"

Liu Wenxiu was his favorite. He ran over and cried: "Father, you scared us!"

Li Dingguo also stepped forward and asked with concern: "Did my father go crazy while practicing martial arts? Let's go back to Baizhang Pass before it's too late."

Sun Kewang scolded: "Don't talk nonsense about the country. How can my father be a man of great talent? How can he stay under others for a long time? I followed the order of my ancestor to gather people. I want to follow my father to Shanxi, join the rebel army, and conquer the country."

Huang Hu listened and nodded: "We have no way out. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, there is only one way until it ends. Children, are you willing to walk with me?"

The four adopted sons knelt down in unison, "Children will always follow their fathers!"

Huang Hu said: "From now on, you will all change your surname to Zhang. One day, when I become the emperor, I will make you king!"

The four people expressed their gratitude together: "Thank you father for giving me your surname, and I am willing to fight for my father and conquer the country."

Huang Hu lifted up the injured who fell on the ground one by one, and gathered the dead in a pile. He knelt on the ground and swore: "These dead brothers all made sacrifices for me. Their parents and relatives will be my parents from now on."

Relatives."

The bodies of the men and horses were burned in a fire, and the father and son took nearly a thousand cavalry and ran towards Shaanxi.

Because these thousand men and horses were the equipment of the government army, they encountered no obstacles along the way. When they arrived in Shaanxi, they ran and grabbed them. By the time Cao Wenzhao reacted, they had already crossed Shaanxi and arrived in Shanxi.

After finding out where King Zijin Liang was stationed, Huang Hu raised the banner of the Eight Kings again, led a group of men and horses, and rushed there with great fanfare.

Seeing his flag and a thousand cavalry, the camp was filled with joy, "The Eight Kings are back, the Eight Kings are back!"

In the past, the news that he had been recruited and surrendered by Yang Zhan made everyone dejected. Now, his strong return has given the rebels another shot in the arm.

Zijin Liang led the rebel leaders including Chuang Wang, Cao Cao, Chuang Taotian, Chuang Jiang, Sweeper King, Heisha Shen, etc., who had arrived earlier, to greet them.

This yellow tiger is no longer the other yellow tiger, and it is impossible to call him the "Eight Great Kings". When Zhang Xianzhong was a child, his teacher nicknamed him "Jingxuan". Wang Ziyong knew this, so he took the lead in welcoming him: "Jingxuan"

, I knew you would come back, but it’s a pity that your master can’t see this day.”

"Jingxuan, it's great that you are back with everyone." "Jingxuan, great job. We were all beaten to pieces, and you managed to create such a neat team!"

Huang Hu bowed his hands to everyone, turned to salute Zijin Liang and said: "General, my master has gone. From now on, I will only follow your lead. I will lead this team of horses and gallop thousands of miles to join you, just to be sent by you!"

His statement made Wang Ziyong smile from ear to ear. Everyone was infected by this sense of loyalty and gave thumbs up.

Wang Ziyong called everyone to a meeting. They suffered such a big loss some time ago. Now that they are together this time, they should sum up the experience.

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang said: "In view of Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou's fierce pursuit, we must form an alliance, unite and fight together."

Everyone agreed. At that time, there were thirty-six troops attending the meeting. Each troop was willing to join the alliance, and then formed its own battalion, for a total of thirty-six battalions.

Next, they recommended the leader of the alliance. Some people recommended King Chuang, and others recommended Zijin Liang. They currently have the largest team. The eight kings stood up with a shout, "My thousand cavalry are willing to serve as the vanguard for the leader of the alliance!"

King Chuang quickly expressed his position: "I am also willing to take the lead of King Alliance Leader!" King Chuang has more lofty ideals and strategies than Wang Ziyi, but now, he must take the overall situation into consideration.

Seeing this situation, others also expressed their willingness to cooperate under the unified leadership of Wang Ziyong.

The thirty-sixth battalion of the rebel army that met this time had a total strength of nearly 200,000. After the meeting, they divided into several groups and began to march to various parts of Shanxi.

The Eight King's thousand cavalry showed their talents and conquered many places in succession, causing great trouble. The Eight King's name became more famous, but gradually, many people behind his back no longer called him the Eight King, but called him the Demon King.

Because every time he encounters a battle, corpses will litter the fields and rivers of blood will flow.

Because before others arrived, the roar of the tiger had already arrived, which was frightening.

Because he had to kill people every day, and if there were no officers and soldiers to kill, he would kill his own people, those in his own team who did not obey orders.

With him at the vanguard, the rebel army gained momentum.

When Chongzhen learned of this, he immediately ordered the governor of Shanxi to launch an all-out encirclement and suppression campaign. The governor of Shanxi mobilized troops from Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, but they still could not defeat the 36th Battalion of Rebels.

The court transferred Cao Wenzhao to Shanxi as the commander-in-chief, but Cao Wenzhao could no longer scare the eight kings. In the hearts of the eight kings, he only feared one person in the world, and that was Yang Zhan. I hope that in this life

Don't ever meet him again.

Eight kings were emboldened, and Wang himself decided to use the Taiyuan area as a base, and the thirty-sixth battalion worked together to concentrate superior forces and defeat Cao Wenzhao.

But he never thought that the eight kings had one thousand cavalry, but Cao Wenzhao had three thousand cavalry. Each of them was equipped with two horses. When one horse was tired, he would replace it with another. It was extremely maneuverable, like a ghost. The rebel army

Wherever you run, he will be waiting.

The court also sent a helper to Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, who was brave in combat and knowledgeable in the art of war. As soon as they came up, they fought hard and killed the rebels. They fought continuously and won continuously, defeating more than a dozen civilian armies.

.

The Eight Kings brought their thousand cavalry and used Tiger Fist to clear the way, but they still could not defeat Cao Wenzhao, his three thousand Guan Ning cavalry and the Changping Army recruited by Zuo Liangyu in the capital.

In just fifteen days, Cao Wenzhao led his army to seven victories in seven battles. Zijinliang was beaten everywhere, first to Zezhou, then to Runcheng and Qinshui. Everywhere he went, Cao Wenzhao would arrive in one day at most.

, fight when you arrive, and win when you fight.

The Eight Kings said to Zijin Liang: "Although we are large in number, our combat effectiveness is not strong. We must not concentrate our forces to fight Cao Wenzhao to the death."

Zijin Liang asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Divide the troops. No matter how fierce Cao Wen's edict is, there is no way to divide the troops. After dividing the troops, avoid the real situation and exploit the weak points to control the enemy."

After the troops were divided, they led Cao Wenzhao by the nose and ran around, running out of Shanxi and arriving in Henan. Unfortunately, Zijin Liang died of illness, and the Thirty-Sixth Battalion Alliance came to an end.

The Eighth King led his team alone, and from time to time he surrounded a county town in Henan and killed all the magistrates, and he did quite well. Other leaders moved closer to him, and soon he gathered hundreds of thousands more people.

The imperial court sent Zuo Liangyu to attack these hundreds of thousands of people. He led his Changping soldiers to attack continuously, winning many battles and driving the rebel army to Wu'an.

Zuo Liangyu reported to the court, Shanxi Commander Cao Wenzhao, Beijing Camp Commander Wang Pu, Commander Tang Jiuzhou and Henan local troops were dispatched in accordance with the emperor's unified instructions. They traveled day and night and arrived in Wu'an at the end of September to complete the encirclement.

The Eight Kings, King Chuang, General Chuang, Cao Cao and other leaders were all surrounded inside. The encirclement was quite strong, and the leaders had a large number of people. They began to break out from the siege in September. After two months, they also broke out.

It didn't stick out.

By November, even they themselves believed that the end was not far away.

It was already winter, and the weather was extremely cold. Hundreds of thousands of people were surrounded inside, with no food or drink, no advance or retreat, no way to fight, no way to escape.

Although the Eight Kings had become demons, they had to be rational in the face of such a situation and began to use their cunning minds. He suggested that everyone surrender because Cao Wenzhao, who implemented the "drive them all out" policy, had been transferred.

Just like countless times in the past, surrender is temporary. Surrender first, put down your weapons, wait until you are out of the circle, pick up your weapons, and then we can continue.

They collected a lot of money, found Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of the capital, and bribed him. Wang Pu immediately issued an order to accept the surrender and urged the leaders to assemble their troops as soon as possible and hand over their weapons.
