"Supervisor, Meiling didn't think so much... At that time, she just thought..." Xu Meiling couldn't finish her words because Tie Mo had already grasped her hand, "Stop talking, now Han Ying has already
Now that you are dead, your worries are gone. Stop keeping such a cold face, as if everyone owes you ten thousand taels of gold."
"Yeah!" What surprised Tie Mo was that Xu Meiling actually raised her head and smiled. The smile was natural, like a spring breeze melting away the white snow in winter.
Xu Meiling smiles so beautifully. That's good. You should smile more when you have nothing to do.
In Henan Prefecture, Guan Xingping was imprisoned in the row room on the west side of the government office. Tie Mo opened the door and looked Guan Xingping up and down. This man was in his thirties, extremely tall, almost seven feet tall, and had a handsome appearance and phoenix eyes.
He has a square face and a long beard under his chin, giving him an even more powerful look. He is indeed a descendant of Mr. Guan Er. His expression and appearance are quite profound.
"General Guan, I just want to ask you one question, do you want to disgrace the reputation of Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty and become a bandit for the rest of your life? If you wish, I will chop off your head now to show your merit to the court. If not,
If you wish, go away from the shackles, take your peerless sword, and follow the governor to kill the bandits in the north and make great achievements!"
Tie Mo said it concisely and concisely, but every word was precise. "There is no one who is not eloquent in persuading people to surrender, but they are very clear-cut. But Governor Tie Mo is not like this. He goes straight to the point, with only a few words, but his attitude is very clear, that is, you surrender, I will
The governor will accept you as a general without surrender, and I will not waste any words.
He didn't say much, but when it fell into Guan Xingping's ears, it was a different story. When Guan Xingping joined the army to exterminate the bandits, it was not for the purpose of making achievements and shining a glorious family name. Now he is among the bandits, not because he is waiting for the day when he will be recruited. If not
Zhang Xianzhong said, "How can he be willing to be a thief when the imperial court recruits him? Nowadays, the imperial court is incompetent and disaster victims are everywhere. Who doesn't want to bring glory to the country, let alone Guan Xingping, a descendant of the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty."
How could Guan Xingping not want to surrender? The Northern Jin Army fought in the Northern Kingdom and was famous, and the Iron Governor was a hero of the Ming Dynasty, which is admirable. Guan Xingping did not think for too long, he raised his head, his eyes full of hesitation, "Superintendent, Guan made a mistake
He is a bandit and is not tolerated by the imperial court. Supervisor, do you really dare to imprison a certain thief?"
"Hahaha!" After hearing Guan Xingping's words, Tie Mo raised his head and laughed wildly, folded his fan, pointed at Guan Xingping and said, "General Guan dares to surrender, why don't I dare to use it? How can the descendants of the dignified Shoutinghou of the Han Dynasty still return to the throne?"
Isn’t it worth taking a gamble? As for the imperial court? Hehe, if the imperial court could still be so lenient, the world would not be full of wars, General Guan would not be defeated and become a thief, and the governor would not survive today, let alone control a powerful army.
, deploy and control the Northern Kingdom.”
Tie Mo was not polite, he just wanted to say how could the Ming Dynasty be so traitorous that Zhu Youjian was not a competent emperor. Zhu Youjian was cruel, but he was not overbearing as a king. He knew how to kill people, but he did not know how to eradicate them.
The people, but they don’t know what the real good policy is for governing the country. In short, he should be a free king and should not be an emperor. If he becomes an emperor, it will be a disaster.
In the world, the only one who dares to speak so bluntly about the incompetence of the imperial court and the mediocrity of officials is the current Iron Governor. Guan Xingping's face trembled, his beautiful beard trembled wildly, he stood up, cupped his hands and bowed deeply, "The Governor has the East China Sea
With a big heart, Guan should be the superintendent and fight to the death in all directions."
Guan Xingping has always had an ambition. He also wants to be unparalleled in loyalty and not weaken the reputation of his ancestors, but in today's world, he will not be given this opportunity. Now that the Superintendent has given him a chance, if he does not desperately seize it, he will be the world's No. 1
A stupid man will not be able to see his ancestors after death.
Tie Mo's words were like a knife, and he successfully made Guan Xingping surrender to the Northern Shan Army. At this time, there was a cry of mourning on Chaohu Lake. When the news of Han Ying's death came, Zhang Xianzhong's face was full of grief and anger, and he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Brother Han Ying,
It hurts my brother that you are gone like this..."
Regardless of whether Zhang Xianzhong was being hypocritical or he really felt sorry for Han Ying, in short, there were cries on Chaohu Lake, and everyone shared the same hatred and vowed to fight to the death with the Northern Shanxi Army.
At noon on the 28th of August in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Northern Shanxi Army ambushed the Chaohu soldiers and horses in Mengshan, killing and wounding more than a hundred people. The remaining more than 400 people were captured together with Guan Xingping. After the First World War, the Chaohu Horse Army commanded Guan Xingping and surrendered.
The Northern Shanxi Army and Han Ying died under the sword of the Northern Shanxi Army. When the news came, the people in Chaohu were indignant and clamored to avenge Han Ying. Even Zhang Xianzhong sacrificed the banner and vowed to fight to the bitter end with the Northern Shanxi Army.
This time Zhang Xianzhong didn't hide it anymore. In anger, he not only ordered revenge, but also raised another flag next to the "Practice for Heaven" flag and called himself "Emperor Gu Yuan Zhenlong"! This time Zhang Xianzhong was pretending.
No more pretending, I just want to continue to rebel!
On Chao Lake, the crowd was raging, but Lu Tong had a sullen face, and his heart was full of worries. It was unwise to become a mortal enemy of the Northern Shanxi Army. How could the death of just one Han and Ying ruin the great event of Chao Lake? In other words, for the sake of Chao Lake,
A great cause, not to mention the death of one Han Ying, even the death of two Han Ying, you should endure it when you should be patient. A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years, why does he care about a mere day?
But the fact is that now everyone in Chao Lake, from Zhang Xianzhong to the minions, has their sights set on the Northern Shanxi Army. Anyone who says no will be drowned in saliva. Lu Tong thought clearly about the truth, but he just didn't understand it right.
Zhang Xianzhong said: Doesn’t Zhang Xianzhong know the consequences of fighting the Northern Shanxi Army at this time? Of course he knows that if he goes against the Northern Shanxi Army and becomes a mortal enemy, Chaohu will have to face the troops of the Northern Shanxi Army and Yang Sichang at the same time, and the pressure will increase sharply.
, when the war breaks out, there will be many casualties, and it is uncertain that the Chaohu power that was finally established will be destroyed.
Originally, according to Lu Tong's plan, Yang Sichang and Tie Mo would fight for a while by taking advantage of the internal conflicts among the imperial troops, and the rebels would continue to look for opportunities, but now the plan has been disrupted.
Knowing that it was wrong to become a sworn enemy of the Northern Shanxi Army, why did Zhang Xianzhong take the lead in doing so? Because he was a tycoon in the world. Zhang Xianzhong was a tycoon. His great cause included Chaohu, but it was not just Chaohu. He only used Chaohu as a springboard.
, In the future, he will leap over the dragon gate and do a great cause. Different goals and different choices. Zhang Xianzhong must hold the hearts of the Chaohu brothers tightly. For all this, no matter how many people die, he will not blink an eye. Therefore,
Knowing that it would be unwise to enmity with the Northern Shan Army, he still chose to face the Northern Shan Army directly.
Who is Han Ying? That is Zhang Xianzhong's confidant. If Zhang Xianzhong does not take revenge at this time, what will other people think? Most of these people have loyalty in their hearts, but few have great achievements in the world. Alas, in order to win over people's hearts, it is a pity for those brothers
life.
Among the nearly a hundred leaders in Chaohu, the only ones who could see clearly were not only Zhang Xianzhong and Lu Tong, but also Zhu Shen. At this time, Zhu Shen had a white cloth wrapped around his head and a white belt around his waist. His expression was slightly angry, but a few traces of blood flowed out from time to time between his eyebrows.
Sarcasm. Now he is becoming more and more disheartened by what Zhang Xianzhong did. At that time, he took refuge with Zhang Xianzhong, thinking that if everyone worked together as a team to fight against the imperial court, they could achieve great things. However, after a long time, he found that there was also intrigue here. Compared with the imperial court,
He didn't give in too much. Hey, maybe it's time to leave. With Zhang Xianzhong and such a rebel army, what is there to miss? Humph, just because of people like Han Ying, countless brothers have died due to exhaustion. Zhang Xianzhong's heart is big enough, and
Cruel enough.
On that day, war drums were rumbling outside Chaohu Juyi Hall, and all the leaders in the hall gathered together. Zhang Xianzhong personally ordered that he would send a large army to capture Zhongdu tomorrow and threaten Henan Prefecture. In response, all the leaders responded.
"Zhu Shen and Shi Ming listen to the order. You two will lead two thousand brothers to garrison the southern water village and keep a close eye on the officers and soldiers of Xiaolongshan. Once the officers and soldiers enter Juye eastward and intend to go north, they must intercept the officers and soldiers and delay the time!"
Gu Xun
"yes!"
Zhu Shen and Shi Ming went out to receive the order and did not say much. After that, Zhang Xianzhong made some arrangements, and after an hour, everyone dispersed. When they returned to their residence, Zhu Shen, who was looking as usual, suddenly widened his eyes in anger.
, punched the square table. With a bang, Shi Ming, Chen Da and Yang Chun were not prepared at all, and couldn't help being startled. Shi Ming closed the door and asked carefully, "Brother, what's wrong with you?
"
"Humph, brother, didn't you think of it? Zhang Xianzhong has such a good arrangement. Let us stick to the southern water village. No matter how we fight this battle, we will not get any credit. And Mr. Lu actually wants him to lead the troops.
You really have bad intentions when you go to attack Xihua County."
"What...what's the point of this?"
"In this fight, why do the officers and soldiers need to use Xiaolongshan troops? So it is of no use for me to go to the southern water village. Since it is useless, how can we get credit? What about Xihua County? Haha, I heard that I am now leading troops to garrison
The man from Yanggu is Li Yangchun. Most of Li Yangchun’s subordinates are old troops and they have great prestige in the army. In addition, Li Yangchun takes the lead in using troops to stabilize the situation. Zhang Xianzhong asked Mr. Lu to go to Xihua, which is to borrow a knife to kill someone!"
After listening to Zhu Shen's words, several people were astonished with eyes like copper bells. They never thought that Zhang Xianzhong, who was supposed to share the same hatred and avenge Han Ying, actually put so much thought into his arrangements. Fortunately, Zhu Shen was there, otherwise
Wouldn't everyone be kept in the dark? Chen Da had a good relationship with Rousseau. After hearing this, he turned to go out. Shi Ming grabbed Chen Da and said, "Brother, where are you going?"
"I have informed Mr. Lu and told him not to be someone else's victim in vain!"
Hearing what Chen Da said, Shi Ming glared angrily and cursed, "You are really confused. We have too much time to take care of ourselves. How can we care about others? Besides, Mr. Lu is not a confused person. Maybe he has thought of this a lot."
"
Zhu Shen patted Chen Da on the shoulder and said with a wry smile, "What Brother Shi said is exactly right. Although Mr. Lu is a bit foolish, there are capable people around him. Yan Jiu is as shrewd as a ghost, although he cannot see through everything about Zhang Xianzhong."
I know that Li Yangchun is very powerful, so he will persuade Mr. Lu to be careful, so Brother Chen should not show up to Mr. Lu, otherwise he will save our lives."
After listening to Zhu Shen's words, Chen Da also calmed down, saying that Yan Jiu was indeed quite smart. They sat down, Zhu Shen frowned and thought hard, and after a while, he whispered, "Brother Shi, please keep quiet tonight
Let’s go to Xiaolong Mountain and ask Brother Lu what his attitude is.”
The elder brother Lu whom Zhu Shen mentioned was none other than Liu Guoneng's old subordinate Lu Heng. Because Lu Heng was a forthright man and because Shi Jin was an old acquaintance, Shi Jin found Lu Heng and wanted to leave more escape routes for himself.
"Okay, after Haishi, I will leave the village. I will ask you brothers to help cover it up then!"
"It's natural!"
In Xiaolong Mountain late at night, insects were raging. Lu Heng was sitting on a big rock with a wooden stick in his hand, knocking on the big poplar tree in front of him, knocking every time and counting. It was as boring as it seemed. A few soldiers hid.
In the distance, they turned their heads and smiled from time to time. They didn't dare to smile in front of General Lu, otherwise they wouldn't be beaten into meat patties by General Lu?
Lu Heng is bored, and he can be a bird when he is idle. He has no choice but to knock on poplar trees with rocks tonight. Lu Heng is not good at anything in his life, so he just wants to drink. He can fight in the army, but drinking is strictly prohibited. The Northern Shanxi Army
Military law is no joke. As a lieutenant general in the army, Lu Heng is not reckless enough to test the law himself. He cannot drink, so he can only endure it. I can endure it, but I can't sleep without drinking. The supervisor taught me this before
The trick was to count the sheep while lying on the bed. Now this trick of counting sheep didn't work anymore. Fortunately, I thought of a way to knock the big poplar tree like a wooden fish.
Not to mention, Lu Heng’s method really worked. After knocking for about half an hour, I felt dizzy, my eyes were dim, and I was almost drowsy. I finally felt sleepy, but someone refused to let Lu Heng.
Sleeping, no, a soldier ran up to him, cupped his hands and said, "General Lu, that man named Shi Ming is here again."
"Have I offended the Buddha? He blows the trumpet as soon as he feels sleepy. This brother is also annoying. He doesn't come early and doesn't come late. If he doesn't come at this time, doesn't he have a grudge against me?"
General Lu grinned and complained, and several soldiers nearby grinned. General Lu drank alcohol, ate meat, killed people, and set fires. He just broke the sexual precept. If you want to offend the Buddha, you have already offended him. General Lu sometimes
He still thought of himself as a master, making people laugh for nothing. One guy couldn't hold it back, turned his head and laughed, his face turned red and his neck became thick. Lu Heng immediately became unhappy, and he hit the guy's butt with a wooden stick.
"Why are you laughing? Believe it or not, I will put you in a cesspit?"
"General... I'm not smiling..."
"You still dare to quibble, let's see if I don't slap you..." Lu Heng pretended to hit you, but when he saw Shi Ming approaching, he immediately stopped his hand and pretended to be dignified. It was so funny.
Shi Ming didn't know what happened. He always felt that the atmosphere today was a bit strange. However, he had big things in mind and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I came to visit late at night, but there is something big. I hope you will disturb me."
Brother, please forgive me."
Lu Heng threw away the wooden stick, grabbed Shi Ming's sleeve and pulled him up the mountain, "Brothers, what are you talking about? It's windy outside. We have something to talk about. Let's go into the tent and discuss it in detail. You guys, why don't you go and do it?
Bring some hot water and moisten your mouth with my brother!"
"Yes, General Lu, the young one will go right away!"
After entering the tent, Shi Ming didn't talk nonsense and said bluntly, "Brother, today's discussion on the mountain has been decided. Tomorrow we will send troops from two directions to intimidate Henan Prefecture and avenge Han Ying."
