The jade flowers fly in the middle of the night, and the green waves dance next year.

The first heavy snowfall in the five years of Chongzhen finally came. The goose-feather-like snow fell one after another, shaping everything in the world into a vast expanse of white, covering up all the ugliness in the world.

"With this heavy snowfall, the people should be able to have a good year in the coming year." After the snow stopped, Pei Xiaoer stood on a high place and looked at the sky and earth in the distance that had changed colors, and sighed.

"General, we can't say for sure." Hu Shi'an, a soldier on the side, said with a smile: "The imperial army has already marched towards Shanxi. I think a big battle is inevitable. The common people have passed through this protracted battle.

My life is not as good as the previous two years."

Pei Xiaoer glared at him, "You actually said some disappointing things." He turned around and walked towards the camp, "Let's go, where are we going?"

Hu Shi'an laughed dryly and replied: "General, we have just passed Lingshi and are about to reach Jiexiu."

Jiexiu? Pei Xiaoer muttered these two words and asked, "How far is it from Wen County?"

"There are probably more than a hundred miles left! But the place chosen by Zijin Liang is far enough away from us." Hu Shi'an complained slightly.

"Okay, okay, hurry up as soon as possible. We must get to Wen County within five days. They are all seniors of the rebel army. We should go earlier to show our respect for them."

"Yes." Seeing that his general was angry, Hu Shi'an did not dare to say anything and urged the soldiers around him to walk faster.

This time, the personal barracks led by Pei Xiaoer, Pei Zhuer's independent compartment, and Song and Meng's cavalry totaled more than 6,000 people. At the invitation of Zijin Liang Wang, the veteran of the rebel army, they went to Wen County to attend the rebel meeting to discuss how to respond.

In this encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers, many people were killed by the officers and soldiers. Everyone was very scared and began to huddle together for warmth.

The army walked alone on the official road. It can be seen that the official road has not been repaired for a long time. It is in tatters and tatters everywhere. There are big potholes in some places. In addition, it has just snowed heavily. The road is slippery and there are some potholes.

The hole was also buried, which seriously slowed down the march.

Along the way, there was not a single pedestrian. On the contrary, corpses dug up by wild dogs on the roadside came into view from time to time. They may have been merchants, refugees, or rebels in the past, but now, their previous identities are gone and they are just

All that was left was a piece of meat that had been eaten by wild dogs.

Groups of wild dogs, perhaps eating too much human flesh, their eyes began to turn red. When they saw the army coming, they not only were not afraid, but bared their teeth and barked at the army. The people of Shanxi were severely harmed by these rebels.

Already.

Pei Xiaoer was riding on his horse, looking at the corpses that appeared on the roadside from time to time. At first he sighed a few words, but later he became numb after seeing them too much, and could only urge to get to Wen County as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Song Menglai ran over on horseback from the front and said: "General, the spies from the front are here to report that there is a rebel army stationed more than 20 miles ahead. If we march at the current speed, we will probably march with them in more than an hour."

We met, do you need to change the marching direction?"

Pei Xiaoer thought for a while and guessed that this rebel army was most likely invited by Zijin Liang to attend the conference. Anyway, they will meet sooner or later, so let's meet them first! So he said: "No need, keep moving forward and be more alert."

"Yes" Song Meng ran away on horseback.

Soon, the rebel army was in front of him. Pei Xiaoer was riding on his horse, observing the rebel army. Looking at the size, it was obvious that the rebel army was much larger than him, with about 30,000 people. However, their camps were all

It was in shabby condition, without even a fence. The tents were scattered around, with the largest and most luxurious tent in the center as the center.

At the edge of the entire camp were some skinny men and women, including a few children. Their common feature was expressions on their faces and empty eyes. They looked at the big tent in the center from time to time, as if they were expecting something. But the people in the middle of the camp were like

They are much better. Although they are not fat, at least their bodies are strong and they walk like wind. The way they look reminds Pei Xiaoer of a tiger sitting on the ground.

The other party also appeared to be very wary. Pei Xiaoer's army had just arrived when a man with heavy armor and a round waist led the veterans in the camp out of the camp and made a defensive posture in a vigilant manner.

After getting closer, Pei Xiaoer noticed that although these people looked sallow, skinny, and lived in shabby places, the weapons and armor they used were exceptionally sophisticated, even similar to those of his own Pei family army.

He was not inferior to anyone else. Pei Xiaoer was a little surprised, and at the same time, he secretly became more alert.

Before he could speak, the big man in heavy armor came out and shouted loudly: "Which battalion are you from? Who is in charge? Please come out and answer."

Pei Xiaoer jumped off his horse and took two steps forward. He stopped an arrow away from the man and said, "I am Pei Xiaoer from Wenxi County. Who is your Excellency?"

"Pei Xiaoer." The man recalled for a while, and he was sure that he had never heard of this man's name. He thought he was similar to himself, an unknown rebel, so he said: "Pei is in charge of the dishes. It's polite. My name is

Leopard Five! General Pei went to attend that conference at the invitation of King Zijin Liang?"

"That's right, you must be too, right?"

Na Bao Wu said excitedly: "Yes, you and I have the same purpose. I am also invited by Zijin Liang to go to Wen County together to discuss how to deal with this siege by the army. Why don't you and I go together?"

Pei Xiaoer hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Nowadays, killing each other within the rebel army is not the mainstream. The mainstream is still the killing between the rebel army and the official army. Although going with this person may be risky, but

If there really is a fight, Pei Xiaoer claims that he is not afraid of him, but it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.

Now that it was established that they would act together, the clouds of war between the two sides immediately became clearer. Pei Xiaoer led the horse and walked towards Leopard Five.

"Brother Pei, when we get to Wenxian County, we Shanxi people must hold together! Those Chuang Wang, Zijin Liang, Cao Cao and the like are all Shaanxi people. If we Shanxi people don't unite, we will definitely be killed by them.

Swallowed nothing left." Bao Wu walked beside Pei Xiaoer and said.

"This is natural." Pei Xiaoer followed his words and said, "They Shaanxi people have made us in Shanxi look like this, so naturally we have to hug each other to keep warm."

Hahaha, Leopard Five laughed, his smile was contagious. "Brother Pei is so refreshing."

At this moment, behind Bao Wu, a scribe wearing a green shirt and a Confucian crown came over, clasped his fists at Pei Xiaoer and said, "Fan Shizhe, I have met General Pei."

Pei Xiaoer was a little confused and looked at Bao Wu in front of him. When Pei Xiaoer introduced himself to his family just now, Fan Shizhe's eyes brightened up after hearing what Pei Xiaoer said. At that time, he thought he was one of Bao Wu's masters.
