Chapter seven hundred and ninety-five. Before the war (six).
…
…
At this time, on the road in Suide County, there were two teams galloping on horseback, one chasing and the other escaping!
As for Ge Lao Liang Fuchen, he was mixed in with the fleeing team. His appearance was full of embarrassment, his expression was full of shock and anger, and his usual majesty and magnanimity were completely missing!
He never imagined that one of his dignified cabinet ministers, a full-power imperial minister, and one of the core ministers of the Ming Dynasty would be hunted down by a group of bandits who were obviously a mob! There were only more than two hundred bandits in this group.
However, Liang Fuchen had no power to fight back and could only run away in a hurry!
This is definitely a great shame for Liang Fuchen!
However, Liang Fuchen still had no choice!
Liang Fuchen has been the governor of the three sides for many years and has experienced countless wars. Naturally, he has real abilities, both in terms of military skills and military strategy. He is also sharp-sighted and courageous. He does not pay attention to ordinary bandits and horse thieves at all.
But now, Liang Fuchen's abilities are completely unable to be used! Because he is really a clever woman who can't make a meal without rice!
After leaving the capital, Liang Fuchen, in order to rush to Huamachi Camp as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation, naturally traveled with only a few dozen guards on the road, but these guards had all been following him for many years, and everyone was highly skilled in martial arts and loyal!
Along the way, Liang Fuchen did not disturb the local officials for fear of wasting time. After entering Suide County, Shaanxi Province, Liang Fuchen did not go into the city to accept the county magistrate's reception. He only had lunch at the post station, and after a short rest, he continued westward.
On his way.
Unfortunately, the bad thing happened during this lunch. I don’t know whether it was because the food was unclean or because someone deliberately administered laxatives. Not long after Liang Fuchen’s team set out on the road, they all suffered from diarrhea. Everyone, including Liang Fuchen, had cramps in their legs and feet.
Soft and powerless.
There is a folk saying that "a good man cannot withstand three diarrheas." Although Liang Fuchen had a tough character and most of his guards could be called heroes, after suffering from diarrhea for many times in a row, no one could stand it.
Originally, Liang Fuchen wanted to hold on, but after he found that he and his guards did not even have the strength to ride a horse, he had no choice but to lead the team to Suide County, preparing to find a doctor to prescribe medicine for treatment.
But at this moment, a group of bandits suddenly appeared and charged towards them!
Most of these gangsters are thin and their clothes are dirty. Many of them even use dung forks as weapons. They have no rules when they charge and kill. They look like a mob at first glance, and their number is only about two hundred. Under normal circumstances, only
Just Liang Fuchen's bodyguards could easily defeat them!
But at this time, Liang Fuchen's guards didn't even have the strength to lift their swords and ride horses, so how could they resist?
In desperation, Liang Fuchen and the guards had no choice but to endure the abdominal cramps, mustered up the last bit of strength to gallop away on horseback!
Fortunately, only half of this band of horse thieves were on horseback, and most of them were inferior horses. There was no plan in the pursuit and the speed was not very fast, otherwise Liang Fuchen would not have had a chance to escape.
But even so, Liang Fuchen was in a very embarrassed state when he was running away. In fact, Liang Fuchen had never been so embarrassed before. The rogue horse thieves were chasing him closer and closer. If he continued like this, he would soon be caught up by the rogue horse thieves.

The rogue horse thieves who are chasing Liang Fuchen's team call themselves the "Black Tiger Army". Originally there were only thirty or fifty people, and they have been active at the junction of Shaanxi-Gansu and Shanxi. Because of the lack of cooperation between the two local governments, and because they were only fighting in small quantities.
, it did not attract the attention of the government, so it was easy for a few years, but it was never possible to expand the team.
However, due to the successive years of disasters in several northwest provinces, the Black Tiger Army has taken in many people fleeing famines in recent years. The number of people has increased several times in a short period of time, and it has gradually become a trend. In March and April this year, they even attacked
After passing Suide County, the magistrate of Suide County was so frightened that he closed the city gate for more than ten days, and the momentum suddenly increased.
It stands to reason that since the Black Tiger Army made such a big noise, the government and army should have taken action to suppress the bandits. However, at this time, the intruders happened. The Shaanxi-Gansu border defense was facing a threat that had not been seen in decades, so it was
No one can care about them anymore.
As a result, the Black Tiger Army became even more unscrupulous and became more and more powerful. Now it has grown to more than 200 people. From time to time, it will rob people in the state capital at the junction of Shaanxi-Gansu and Shanxi.
Now, the reason why the Black Tiger Army is targeting Liang Fuchen is not because they want to rob Liang Fuchen's team's property. Liang Fuchen's team is not easy to mess with at first glance, and they have government background. The Black Tiger Army would never attack this person on weekdays.
The people who started this team were willing to sacrifice money for food. The reason why the Black Tiger Army targeted Liang Fuchen's team today was because someone offered them 30,000 taels of silver to capture Liang Fuchen alive!
Most of the members of the Black Tiger Army were from poor backgrounds, and how had they ever seen such a large amount of money? Without much hesitation, and without considering the consequences of this matter, he quickly agreed.
As for the person behind this incident, it is naturally Zhao Junchen!
The person who does the actual work is Xu Qingyan!
In fact, the fact that Liang Fuchen's team suffered from diarrhea after eating unclean food in the station was all the work of Xu Qingyan!
Only a pure villain like Xu Qingyan can use such despicable methods!
At this time, Xu Qingyan was also dressed as a horse thief, riding his horse to follow Wang Laohu, the leader of the Black Tiger Army, in hot pursuit of Liang Fuchen's team!
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it would take at most one stick of incense to catch up. Wang Laohu, the leader of the Black Tiger Army, suddenly changed his expression and said: "Oh no, there is Dahuai Village ahead! There is a wall there.
The hanging door cannot let them escape there!"
Hearing what Wang Laohu said, Xu Qingyan frowned, raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw a village fort surrounded by high walls not far away.
At this time, Liang Fuchen's team apparently also discovered the village fort and accelerated towards the village fort!
Although the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, according to this trend, it may be difficult for the Black Tiger Army to prevent Liang Fuchen and others from escaping into the village fort!
Seeing this scene, Xu Qingyan's expression flashed with a hint of evil, and he thought to himself: "These horse thieves are indeed a mob. Not only did they scare the snake at first, but Liang Fuchen's people already had diarrhea and their legs were weak, and they actually chased them."
I haven't caught up for a long time, and my painstaking arrangements have been wasted... If Liang Fuchen really escapes into the village, I'm afraid I will have to use the young master's secret chess!..."
While he was thinking secretly in his heart, Xu Qingyan looked like he had deep faith in Wang Laohu and said loudly: "Can a mere village fortress be able to stop the Black Tiger Army? Leader Wang, don't forget that you will receive three
With a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, if you don’t give it a try now, when will you wait?”
Hearing Xu Qingyan's encouragement, Wang Laohu immediately stopped hesitating and shouted loudly: "Children, charge forward! Don't let them escape! After the event is completed, everyone will receive one hundred taels of silver!"
While shouting, Wang Laohu took the lead and rushed forward.
However, just as the horse thieves were rushing forward, Xu Qingyan secretly glanced at the person next to him.
After getting Xu Qingyan's hint, the man quietly slowed down his horse, broke away from the team, and ran in another direction!
