On the road from Changde Prefecture to Yongshun Division, there was a pair of long teams walking. This team was at least ten miles long. Countless people and horses crowded the entire originally narrow road. More than a dozen people wearing brown
The armored soldiers were struggling to beat the people blocking the road in front. For a while, the people on the road were shouting and horses were in chaos.
Liu Zongmin was walking on this official road with dozens of soldiers. At this time, Liu Zongmin was much fatter than a year ago, and his chin was also much rounder. He looked very handsome when riding a horse.
At this moment, he is retreating to Shaanxi with more than 50,000 remaining troops, although this retreat seems not so willing to him.
Since he led his troops to occupy Hunan alone, he has really lived a free life. These days are also the most carefree and happy days in his life. He can rob a lot of money and sleep with a lot of women.
It seemed to him that this was a good situation that even the gods would not change. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After only a few good days, he was so dizzy that he listened to his subordinates' instigation and had twisted thoughts about the wealthy Jiangxi next door.
With more than 100,000 rogue bandits attacking Jiangxi, it started out quite smoothly and captured two state capitals. He never thought that he would offend the gentry from Jiangnan provinces. Facing the desperate counterattacks from Jiangnan provinces, Liu Zongmin suffered heavy casualties. In the end,
He had to flee back to Hunan in despair.
A few days ago, King Chuang sent another letter ordering him to lead his troops to withdraw to Shaanxi. Liu Zongmin calculated it. Now he has been beaten to pieces. If those in the south of the Yangtze River and the Zhou army above take the opportunity to attack again, he will really
After the fun was over, Liu Zongmin immediately packed up his belongings, took the more than ten robbed women and retreated to Shaanxi.
It just happened to rain heavily a few days ago, and the official road was full of mud. In addition, the team was crowded and could not move fast. Liu Zongmin saw this and was anxious.
"Everyone, hurry up, hurry up and catch up to twenty miles away and then we can rest!" Liu Zongmin kept shouting as he looked at the slow-moving team.
After a while, Hao Yaoqi, who was the general of Houjin Camp at the time, rushed over. He was sweating profusely after driving for a long time and said anxiously to Liu Zongmin: "Chief Inspector, it's not okay for us to rush on like this. If we keep going like this, we can't."
We won't be able to catch up with Shizhou Wei within five days. If the Zhou army catches up, all of us, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, will have to deal with it here."
Liu Zongmin shouted impatiently: "What can I do? You have seen this broken road. It is so big. We have many people and horses, and there are also many jars and jars. These things must be transported back according to King Chuang's instructions. Who can
Dare you fucking throw it away?"
Hao Yaoqi did not speak, but secretly muttered: "You are not even willing to throw away those women, let alone those treasures." However, he only dared to think about these words in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Hao Yaoqi said: "General Post Liu, otherwise, from tomorrow on, we will let the old and weak take the back seat. We will lead the 20,000 young men in front. This will speed up our speed.
Now we can also ask those people to help us fend off the pursuers. What do you think?"
"Well, this is not a bad idea, thank you for coming up with it!" Liu Zongmin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was originally a selfish person. How could he not be happy when he heard that this method could help him return to Shaanxi quickly?
As soon as I heard this, my brows relaxed a lot.
Seeing such a situation, Hao Yaoqi shook his head secretly. Commander Liu was quite good at fighting. But he also had many shortcomings. He was cruel and lustful, not to mention. Now even the brothers and sisters in the army have to leave behind, so in this way, the army
How could the brothers not feel chilled? It's just that he is only the commanding general of the rear camp, and it is impossible to say anything to his immediate superior who is the powerful general.
After thinking about it, Hao Yaoqi sighed: "General Post Liu, recently I have often thought about why we people are forced to rebel, and the more I think about it, the less I can give up halfway. When I was young, I herded sheep for others and was whipped. 2
When I was eleven years old, I was imprisoned for several months due to debts I owed to others. Because I was imprisoned, my parents were angry and worried, and they both passed away soon. Take you for example, I often heard that you and Uncle Liu ran away from each other when you were young.
You still often call me "turtle son" when you bring a donkey into Sichuan to do small business. You learned it in Sichuan at that time and said you were used to it. One day you tied the donkey outside the gate of a rural gentry, and the gentry came out and saw the ground.
He forced the old man to pick up the donkey shit eggs and eat them. The old man knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, and was willing to sweep the floor clean. But the bully Shen Liang refused to agree and forced the old man to eat a few donkey shit eggs.
From then on, the old man got sick and died soon after returning from Sichuan. Commander Liu, don’t talk about whether our uprising is just to save the people, is it appropriate for us to do this now?"
Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin have a normal relationship. Liu Zongmin was a blacksmith before breakfast with Li Zicheng. Although he is from Shaanxi like Li Zicheng, he followed his father to make a living in Sichuan when he was young. He suffered a lot since he was a child.
.Having been oppressed by the wealthy gentry for a long time, his heart has become distorted, which can be seen from his daily actions.
What Hao Yaoqi said now was to vaguely warn Liu Zongmin not to forget his roots in life, but Liu Zongmin didn't hear it at all. Before Hao Yaoqi finished speaking, his eyes widened and his eyes were red, and he punched the horse with his fist.
He thumped and said loudly: "Fuck his eight generations of ancestors! In the future, I will follow King Chuang to conquer the world. When I arrive in Sichuan, I must kill all the wealthy squires! Now you also know why I always kill every place I go.
Those rich squires, right? I just want to kill all their men, sleep with all their women, and make them cuckolds for the rest of their lives!"
Liu Zongmin cursed loudly, causing people around him to look sideways. Even low cries came from the carriages behind him, which contained the women Liu Zongmin had snatched.
The low crying made Liu Zongmin even more angry. He shouted angrily: "Son, if any of you cries again, I will sell her to a brothel and let her pick up a hundred customers every day, and she will pick up the dirtiest ones."
The smelliest kiln black men. (Liu Zongmin refers to the farmers who dig coal. No matter in which era, coal diggers are always the dirtiest and most miserable.)"
After listening to Liu Zongmin's words, the crying in the carriage slowly disappeared. In an irritated mood, he jerked the horse, and the horse neighed and ran forward. The galloping horse hit several soldiers who had no time to avoid.
Arriving at the ground, there was a burst of screams...
Just as Liu Zongmin slowly led the army to retreat to Shaanxi via Sichuan, Wei Jiang also led the fifth army and followed Liu Zongmin's footsteps.
Wei Jiang, who had been a commander in Laizhou, was not a direct descendant of Pang Gang, but he had been saved by Pang Gang and had always carried out Pang Gang's orders without compromise. After learning that Pang Gang had proclaimed himself king
, he also quickly expressed his loyalty to Pang Gang, so Pang Gang promoted him to the position of commander of the Fifth Army after he expanded his army.
Although the combat effectiveness of the fifth legion is the lowest among the five legions of the Great Zhou Army, it cannot conceal the fact that this is a real legion after all, and its strength of 20,000 is also genuine. For this reason
, Wei Jiang was full of gratitude to Pang Gang.
I remember that when he was a commander in Laizhou, he had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and they were all just a few soldiers. A few years ago, he almost lost his life due to the mutiny launched by the soldiers with no pay. Now he is better.
, with 20,000 soldiers in hand, he vowed to do well and not to embarrass the prince. If he did well, and the prince became the emperor in the future, he could also be a general or a hereditary prince.
Dangdang, that is a great thing to honor our ancestors.
The situation at this time was like this. After Pang Gang took the oath, he personally led two legions of 40,000 troops to attack Jiujiang from Wuchang, while the mature and prudent Wei Jiang was ordered by Pang Gang to lead an army alone to kill Hunan.
Wei Jiang, who was in high spirits, fought all the way to Hunan, only to find that the bandits had already withdrawn. Wei Jiang became increasingly depressed. Along the way, he saw desolate fields, uncultivated fields and refugees.
There was nothing left, and no sign of the bandits was found until they passed Changsha. Unwilling to do so, Wei Jiang led his army to pursue them all the way.
Later, Wei Jiang found out that the bandits had withdrawn before they came. Looking at the dilapidated scenery, Wei Jiang couldn't help but sigh to Hao Dayong, who had been promoted to guerrilla general next to him: "Your Majesty is really right.
, those gangsters who are not engaged in production will never do anything else except destruction. Within a year of falling into their hands, Hunan, a good place, turned into this dilapidated appearance. If they were allowed to stay for a few more years,
, Hunan will be destroyed."
Hao Dayong also nodded: "Master Wei, a few years ago, when I followed the prince to fight against the Tartars, I saw the brutality of the Tartars. I thought that the virtues of these bandits were no worse than the Tartars.
No wonder the prince calls those rogues locusts, look at the good deeds these people have done, not even tree bark is left behind wherever they go."
Seeing the scene on the roadside, Hao Dayong, Wei Jiang and the young veterans who had fought with the Tatars were better off, but most of the fifth legion was new recruits. At first glance, they saw the corpses and tree barks that kept falling on the roadside.
The sight of them being stripped off to satisfy their hunger caused many people's faces to change color.
After marching for a while, the sound of horse hooves came, and two Ye Buzuo rode horses from the front. When they arrived in front of Wei Jiang, they quickly raised their hands and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, the bandits behind them have been spotted in front. The number is about 100,000.
It’s three thousand, please show me.”
Wei Jiang, who was unhappy in his heart, said angrily: "If you have any more questions, inform the vanguard battalion and wipe them all out!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, a group of docks ran forward without stopping at night...
