After listening to Zhu Shen's words, Tie Mo and Sha Diao looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. If Zhu Shen's words are really true, then the entire Fengyang Yangzhou will fall into the ravages of rogue bandits. Phew, who gave Zhang Xianzhong the gift?
Such a strategy was used to first raise Tian Zhao up, and then watch Tian Zhao fight to the death with the court. In the end, when both sides suffered losses, he then reaped the benefits.
Of course, there is nothing shameful about Zhang Xianzhong doing this. For the sake of the future, Zhang Xianzhong must not be allowed to succeed in his treacherous plan.
If you want to ruin Zhang Xianzhong's dream, there is only one way, which is to eliminate Tian Zhao as soon as possible and at the minimum cost, without giving Zhang Xianzhong time to react.
On October 12, Tie Mo arrived at Zhangjiagou along the Grand Canal. After arriving at Zhangjiagou, he found that the magistrate had already escaped. Tie Mo was not angry about this, but was a little happy. With a stroke of his pen, he abandoned the city without caring about the people.
Hu Zongqian was removed from the post of county magistrate because of the crime of life and death, and Hong Chengxin was recommended to Zhangjiagou as the county magistrate. Of course, Tie Mo went through all kinds of hardships to get the seal, not just for Zhangjiagou. For three days in a row, Fengyang,
Half of the county officials in Yangzhou were dismissed by the Iron Supervisor, and all the vacated positions were transferred from party personnel in northern Shanxi.
With the official documents posted by the court and the seal of the prefect, this matter is considered a certainty. In the future, even the cabinet and Zhu Youjian will only suffer a loss. If they really refuse to admit it and remove those new officials, I guess the first
Those who raise questions are the people who govern.
The Iron Governor was stationed in Kaifeng and Fengyang. He was not busy exterminating Tianzhao, but was busy dismissing and appointing officials. For a time, everyone in the state officials was in danger, especially the officials in Kaifeng Prefecture. Everyone was afraid that the Iron Governor would swing his knife.
On their heads.
On October 17, after getting the benefits he wanted, Tie Mo finally thought about fighting Tian Zhao. Facing Tian Zhao, it was a tough battle. It was said that Tian Zhao had his uncle Wu Shiguang and General Ma Qiao stationed there.
In the prosperous Wuhe County, I don't know what Wu Shiguang's abilities are, but this Ma Qiao is proficient in bow and horse, and has extraordinary military skills, so he is not easy to deal with.
On October 18th, Tie Mo personally led an army of 5,000 people, with Shi Senming as the vanguard, and left Zhangjiagou to approach Huailou, a wealthy county in the north. Following the small canal all the way north, it took only half a day to reach the town of Qililan southeast of Huailou.
The Northern Shan Dynasty Army was famous, and upon hearing that Tie Mo personally led the troops to attack, Ma Qiao, Wu Shiguang and others did not dare to neglect them. After some deliberation, Ma Qiao led Lu Lei, Xu Bei, Ye Ming, Wang Quan and others.
He led eight thousand troops and formed a formation in the south of Wuhe County, waiting for the Northern Shanxi Army to arrive.
Naturally, Tie Mo was not afraid of a head-on confrontation, and he just wanted to test Tian Zhao's fighting power.
It took Ma Qiao and his troops to arrange their formation for half an hour before Tie Mo led his troops and slowly left Qililan Town. It was already mid-October, and the crops in the fields were up to his knees. Tian Zhao had no idea that he would destroy them even after all the tossing he had done.
How many crops have been destroyed? Tie Mo has always been sympathetic to some so-called rebels in history, but rarely agrees with their actions.
Tian Zhao was forced by the government to rebel and commit rebellion. It was understandable, but what he did was really abhorrent. Not only did he kill people and destroy villages, but he also trampled on crops. As a result, the entire Ming Dynasty's food output became increasingly low and the number of refugees increased.
Tian Zhao did quite well. Although Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others held high the banner of righteousness, they did things that were even more hated than Tian Zhao. They said they were resisting the tyranny of the imperial court and benefiting the people while holding up the banner.
On one side, there were sieges of cities, wreaking havoc, and creating more refugees.
Regardless of Tian Zhao or Li Zicheng, their behavior is actually no different from the White Lotus Sect's rebellion. They are all trying every means to create more refugees, or to gather troops to cause trouble.
It’s not that Emperor Chongzhen never thought of appeasing the so-called rebels, but these rebels complied with the rebellion, the food sent by the court to provide disaster relief was robbed, and the officials who were providing disaster relief were killed. Who did it? In Tiemo’s eyes, Tian Zhao, Li Zicheng and others
It was the same, they had never thought about surrendering to the imperial court, they only wanted to share the interests in their hearts, so Tie Mo never thought about holding back Tian Zhao.
The two sides formed a formation on the white ground ten miles south of the Sophora Tower. Geng Zhongming waved the command flag, the shield soldiers in front formed a tight formation, and the archers and crossbowmen were on strict alert. Contrary to the Northern Shanxi Army, Tian Zhao's side did not appear to have any preparations.
As soon as the drums sounded, a man holding a phoenix-billed knife ran out from the front of the formation and stood on his horse. The big man shouted, "Sit down, the king of a certain family. General Yamashita, the righteous and brave general, and the eagles and dogs of the court, who dares to fight with you?"
A fight with a certain family?"
Yamashita Xiong was born with a tiger's back, round waist, and thick arms. He looked like a man with strong arms at first glance. Tie Mo found it interesting, but he hadn't played the tricks of a fighting general in a long time. He wanted to try the skills of Tian Zhao's subordinates, and
He also has strong generals such as Geng Zhongming, Zhou Dingshan, and Shi Senming under his command. It would be a good thing if he could kill the heads of the heroes with one sword and shock the local morale.
Nunu mouth, Shi Senming raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and ran out to beat the horse. The mountain Xiongquan did not take Shi Senming seriously, raised the Feng Zui knife and slashed hard, Shi Senming raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and then one
Just then, Yamashita Xiong screamed and rolled down from his horse.
Yamashita Xiong's chest was cut open by Fang Tian's painted halberd. He only shivered a few times and then lost his voice. A single strike killed Yamashita Xiong. Shi Senming immediately looked straight at him, but Ma Qiao and others could not help but gasp.
Although Yamashita's ability was not top-notch, he was still considered superior, especially his huge strength in both arms. Few people could stop him. Unexpectedly, he was killed by a single move from the imperial general.
Lu Lei had a very good relationship with Yamashita Xiong. He immediately ran out on horseback, brandishing his blood hook knife and shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name. Lu never kills unknown people!"
"The commander-in-chief of the Northern Shanxi Army, General Gao, is Shi Senming!"
General manager? Lu Lei almost didn't laugh out loud. He thought that such a brave person was also a general. After working for a long time, he turned out to be a small general manager. He was really out of place. "Haha, Shi Senming
, seeing that you are brave and a good man, I advise you to leave the living King of Hell and submit to my tribe. When the time comes, my Lord Tian will definitely reward you with the title of a great general."
Shi Senming's face showed an angry look, he gripped Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly, and glared angrily, "Xiao Xiao, don't talk too much. If you want a certain family to surrender the bandits, you should first ask them about the sharp weapons they have!"
"You don't know how to behave, let's see Lu take your life." Lu Lei came running towards him with a fierce momentum. When he got close, he put his left hand in the sack, and then used his hands to attack with several hidden weapons.
Shi Senming was immediately furious. When fighting, he was most afraid of concealed weapons. He ducked to avoid it, but when he tried to swing Fang Tianhua's halberd, the two horses missed him. Shi Senming was also good at not turning the horse's head, Fang Tianhua
He hung his halberd on the horse's back, took off his long bow, and shot an arrow back.
Lu Lei used his special move but failed to injure Shi Senming's life. Just when he was getting angry, he heard a voice from behind, which seemed to tell him to be careful. He turned around and looked back, and there was no turning back. A cold light became more and more in his eyes.
The sound became clearer and pierced through the brow bone in an instant. Before Lu Lei could scream, he fell backwards from his horse.
With one halberd and one arrow, two generals were killed. Ma Qiao's thin face was covered with cold sweat, and his eyes were full of fear. How could Shi Senming be so awesome? What should he do?
When they were in trouble, Xu Bei, Ye Ming and Wang Quan ran out together. It seemed that they were about to perform a drama of "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu". Zhou Dingshan cursed shamelessly and when he was about to go to help, Geng Zhongming stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Dingshan and frowned.
He said with an eyebrow, "Dingshan, please be patient and don't be impatient. It's not too late to take action after seeing the situation."
Xu Bei and the others felt that they were no match for Shi Senming, so they all came out together. Shi Senming was undaunted. He held Fang Tian's painted halberd upside down, sat down on his BMW and ran towards them. When they got closer, Ye Ming slashed with his sword.
Fang Tian drew the halberd and knocked it with the halberd pole. Because the halberd pole was much longer than the handle of the knife, the knife might not be able to reach Shi Senming if it was poked by the halberd pole. So Ye Ming was shocked and quickly took the knife, but he didn't know that Shi Senming was just a feint, and he didn't know
How to do it? With a flip of his wrist, Fang Tian's painted halberd rotated in a circle. The sharp blade hit Ye Ming, splitting Ye Ming's head into two halves. Blood was flying for a while, but Ye Ming did not fall off his horse, and the body was still riding.
Run a long way on horseback.
As soon as Ye Ming died, Xu Bei and Wang Quan panicked. How could Shi Senming be kind? Fang Tian waved his halberd left and right, and after a dozen moves, Xu Bei's arm was cut off. Wang Quan was not as lucky as Xu Bei.
His neck was cut by Shi Senming's move, and he lay on the ground convulsing and died.
On the empty white ground, Shi Senming stood proudly without falling. Ma Qiao's scalp was numb, and his troops were even more frightened. Shi Senming was like a god descending from heaven, defeating five generals in a row, but he was not hurt at all. At this time, Ma Qiao
Already thinking of retreating, now that the generals have been defeated in a row and their morale is low, it would be unwise to fight against the Northern Shan army again. Unfortunately, before Ma Qiao could give the order, he heard a scolding sound in the distance.
"What a thief, eat my halberd." The real voice was clear and sweet. Although it was angry, it made people feel peaceful. As soon as he finished speaking, a woman ran out on horseback. I saw this woman was only 28 years old and had a pink peach blossom.
His face is as jade as snow, his eyebrows are like willow leaves, his black hair is like clouds with a golden phoenix hairpin stuck in it, his upper body is covered with silver chain mail, and around his waist is a luan lion jade belt that raises his slim waist, and he has a pair of Liuyun boots, which makes him look heroic.
How charming.
The only thing that made people feel a little inappropriate was that the little girl was actually holding a small Fang Tian Hua Ji, facing Shi Senming, just like Mu Guiying was reborn.
Seeing this petite and cute female general, Shi Senming grinned and felt a bit toothache. He ignored the woman and went to the main formation to beat the horse. The female general thought Shi Senming was scared, patted the horse's butt and shouted
, "The thief will leave and take my halberd!"
Shi Senming would be afraid? Just kidding, he is brave and extraordinary, what would he be afraid of? Hey, Shi Senming is just a self-proclaimed hero, how could he fight with that little girl, fight with that little girl, no matter he wins or loses, his face has no luster.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old female general chases the majestic Shi Senming. The scene is very interesting. Tie Mo understands Shi Senming a little bit. He is also a brave and brave man. How dare he fight with a little girl? Dandanguitou
With the jade on the knife, he glanced at Xu Meiling next to him. Xu Meiling understood what he was thinking and ran out on horseback. After passing Shi Senming, he stopped the heroic female general and said, "Thief, please don't be so presumptuous. I'll wait for you!"
Xu Meiling is elegant and refined, wearing black armor and brocade boots, a pair of black and bright phoenix eyes, long hair wrapped up, and a red silk brocade around her neck. In the eyes of others, these are not a pair of enemies, they are simply a pair of sisters.
"Thief bitch, look at the spring in your eyes and red face, you must be a slutty person who loves to steal men. Today I will kill you, thieves bitch, for heaven's sake!"
Xu Meiling originally just wanted to help Shi Senming out of the siege, but now when she heard the words of the female general, her face suddenly turned cold. Xu Meiling had a hot temper. She had never been angry in the pirate den. How could she let the other party scold her like this now?
Immediately his momentum changed, he raised his swords and shouted coldly, "What's your name? Do you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth?"
"It's okay to tell you. My name is Wan Qingfang, which means you. What will happen to you? You are a thief, and if you marry a man, you are also an adulterer and a thief!"
"You...don't insult my husband..."
In anger, Xu Meiling spared no effort and started fighting fiercely with Wan Qingfang. Wan Qingfang's curse words just now were heard in his ears. The Iron Supervisor touched his chin and watched with interest the man who was fighting with Xu Meiling.
A charming little beauty.
When Xu Meiling faced Wan Qingfang, although she couldn't take him down for a while, after dozens of moves, Wan Qingfang was suppressed and she could only parry and was unable to fight back. Wan Qingfang had a fierce mouth and a dull head.
He was also very agile, and when he saw that he couldn't be beaten, Fang Tian knocked his halberd hard, looked at Xu Meiling behind him and said angrily, "You are a thief man, but you can't save this thief woman? A pair of adulterers, together, together
It's really shameless to stand up and bully others!"
Xu Meiling was secretly frightened and looked back instinctively. The word "Supervisor" was already on her lips. But when she looked back, there was no one behind her. As for Supervisor Iron, she was raising her hands and shouting, "Meiling,...
Don’t fall for this little bitch’s evil deception!”
Do you still call me Iron Supervisor? Xu Meiling knew that she had been fooled and wanted to fight Wan Qingfang again. The little lady had already run a distance on the horse, giggling and sarcastically saying, "Thief bitch
, Silly, not an opponent!"
Xu Meiling was so angry that she pushed the good horse on her hip and chased Wan Qingfang. After all, she had taken advantage of the good BMW horse. She was almost catching up. Xu Meiling took off the horseback whip and swung it towards Wan Qingfang's waist.
Wan Qingfang let out a sweet cry. It turned out that her small waist was entangled with the riding crop. When she was about to turn around and fight Xu Meiling, Xu Meiling pulled Wan Qingfang over hard. Her body was suspended in the air, and the size of the trumpet was small.
The Tianhua Halberd was thrown to the ground, and he lay on the horse's back with his whole belly, shaken to his core.
"Thief bitch, let me go...let me go...I'll kill you..."
Xu Meiling hurried back with her horse, her face as cold as frost. Listening to Wan Qingfang's screams, she said angrily, "If you dare to scream again, I will strip you naked and throw you to the ground!"
Wan Qingfang was very fierce, but when she heard Xu Meiling's words, she immediately lost her temper and didn't dare to say anything more. Over there, Ma Qiao saw that Hua Mulan, a member of the company's army, had also been arrested, and she was so frightened that her eyes were dizzy.
He turned his horse's head and shouted, "Retreat, retreat quickly..."
A group of people followed Ma Qiao and ran into the city of Huailou. Naturally, Geng Zhongming would not miss this opportunity. He led the people and chased Ma Qiao's ass from behind, slashing and killing him until they were two miles away.
