stubborn thief

Chapter 74
Watching Li Bei's march, he taught the elders a lesson.

Of course, the picture of the silent army marching towards the rising sun will also arouse fear in some people.

For example, Song Shouzhen, who was born in the Hunger Army.

That night, he persuaded Liu Chengzong: "Don't stay in Yan'an House, go west."

Song Shouzhen's idea was to go west and go to Qingyang Mansion.

Then go south to Hanzhong, which is surrounded by mountains, as the foundation.

There are feudal lords, fertile fields, a large population, and great taxation pressure.

Entering the Guanzhong can enter Sichuan, and retreating can also avoid entering the Qinling Mountains.

Liu Chengzong also felt that Hanzhong was good.

It's just that no matter how good Hanzhong is, it doesn't make sense.

There were also rebels in Hanzhong. In October last year, Wang Daliang revolted in Hanzhong Mansion and Xing'an Prefecture and raised more than [-] troops to attack Hanzhong.

At the beginning of this year, Wu Guofu, a veteran of Sichuan who had beaten Yang Yinglong, sent troops north, and Liu Yingyu of Shangluo Road also led Mao's troops into Hanzhong.

There is a dead end, and the official army has a record of ten battles and ten victories.

Indeed, since ancient times, many heroes and heroes have made great achievements based on Sichuan as their foundation.

But when those heroes entered Sichuan, few were able to come out.

That can be used as the rear, but the front line must be Guanzhong and Huguang.

Song Shouzhen was afraid that something happened for a reason.

After Li Bei's expedition, it began on the ninth day of June.

In a few days, the strength of the tiger's waist grew rapidly at a scale of almost 100 people per day.

As soon as it entered the middle of June, the tiger's waist was organized into a post.

And it is full of posts, including the baggage team.

The composition of the subordinates is very strange.

The old bandits who have been in the grass for years, the starving refugees who are not fully clothed, and even the flag army of Yan'an Guard.

It's all because of Li Bei.

Li Bei's marching speed was like a drug, and Wu Qian, who was in command of the Eight Hundred Banners of Yan'an Guard, couldn't keep up.

On the second day after dispatching troops, Li Bei defeated the rebel army of King Huntian in Yanchuan County, 120 miles away, and sent 86 heads.

On the third day, another 120 li was driven to defeat Wang Zuohang's general Big Red Wolf, and the head was sent [-] times.

On the fifth day, they entered Huanglong Mountain and beheaded 13 leaders, big and small.

Huanglong Mountain is the base camp for farmers in northern Shaanxi to resist taxation. As early as the Wanli period, people took their families to avoid the mountains.

Last year, Lao Hui, a soldier from Yansui Township, set up camp in Huanglong Mountain. Later, Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, and Wang Zuohang all brought people to Huanglong Mountain successively.

Li Bei's two hundred cavalry went on a rampage, as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest. Lao Huihui led the soldiers to flee all the way, and the refugees, the hungry, the old bandits, and the bandits also ran out.

Thousands of peasant troops were running and scattered.

This group of rebels panicked and fled north across the Yan'an Mansion. On the way, they ran into the Yan'an Guard troops who were held back by President Wu Qian.

It is said that this is the fortune of President Wu Qian, and the disorganized thieves are sent to the door.

Unexpectedly, the two troops collided, and the thieves were frightened, and the flag troops were also frightened away.

There was no battle at all, and they all fell apart.

The most outrageous thing is that the disintegrated flag army did not dare and did not want to return to the army, and simply joined the bandit soldiers and wandered in groups of threes and fives on this arid land.

Li Wanqing went out and walked around, and he could bring back five or six groups.

"Yesterday, according to the latest Tang report, General Li chased for [-] li in two days and nights, caught up with Lao Huihui at the security guard, and chased after Ningsai Fort in one go."

Yang Yanchang raised his eyebrows and raised his arms when he mentioned Li Bei's record.

When Liu Chengzong heard this, well, he went abroad.

The thieves were suppressed, and it was too great to drive the rebels from Huanglong Mountain into the Mu Us Desert.

This battle lasted for less than ten days, but it turned the Yan'an Mansion upside down inside and out.

The ability of the Ming army in battle made Liu Chengzong think of Nan Jiashan's inaccurate three-eyed gun.

The gun's mouth is pointing at you, you don't know whether this gun can hit you or not.

The Ming army came to destroy you, and you don't know whether the Ming army who went on the expedition was Li Bei or General Wu Qian.

The upper limit is so high that it is like a god descending from the earth, and the lower limit is so low that the enemy collapses and scatters together.

Liu Chengzong knew why Li Bei did not wait for the infantry to act together.

If he cooperates with the infantry, he can win this battle, and the scattered infantry will also attack his formation.

"For two days and four hundred miles, I saw his troops marching without many horses. How could they go so fast?"

"you saw it?"

Yang Yanchang didn't know what Liu Chengzong thought, so he only said: "How else can we go, the more horses we captured along the way, the more and more we fought, but I heard that in Baoan County, all the horses in his hands were dead, and he ran after Ningsai.

I think it's more strange than General Li, how Lao Huihui ran four hundred miles in two days, and he ran out of the side wall before he died. "

Yang Yanchang found a blind spot.

In fact, at this point in the battle, there is no need to use weapons.

As long as the chasing soldiers are still chasing, the person in front has already collapsed psychologically, and if they are caught up, they will directly stretch their necks and get stabbed.

"You said that, yes! Li Bei's [-] cavalry really looked at the elite, gritted their teeth and reckless, it's not impossible to travel [-] miles a day, but what happened to the old people?"

Liu Chengzong firmly remembered the name in his heart, he raised his thumb towards the back, and said, "I have gathered a lot of troops from both sides.

I heard that Lao Huihui wanted to go to Fugu to meet Wang Jiayin, but he didn’t know how to pass through Yan’an Mansion and ran out of the side wall.

By the way, have you seen the stars in the Tang newspaper? "

Liu Chengzong doesn't care much about other people's affairs.

At most, I feel that after this escape, the people who can still stay by Lao Huihui's side are all elites in physical strength, will, and loyalty.

But Zhang Tianlin, someone he knew after all, would feel sad if he died in this battle.

"Crossing the stars?"

Yang Yanchang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've seen the names of leaders big and small who were killed, and there should be no such person."

Hearing this news, Liu Chengzong felt very relieved.

After a short silence, Yang Yanchang suddenly slapped his head: "Hey, I was here to tell you about General Li, and I forgot why I came here.

Tiger general, look at the chaos outside recently, and you have nothing to defend in this cottage. I got a bow of Master Liu's arm from Fucheng, do you want it? "

This guy's expression changed too fast.

Liu Chengzong couldn't help but wonder if the arms dealer beside him and Daming Shibaihu, who had been fascinated by Li Bei's chasing thieves a while ago, were not alone.

"What is Master Liu's divine arm bow?"

"In the Jiajing year, Liu Tian, ​​governor of Shaanxi, and Mr. Liu, he discovered the previous generation of god-arm bows from Xi'an Mansion, and modified them. The bow strength is 150 catties, and it can shoot [-] steps with a three-foot five-inch four-edged arrow."

After Yang Yanchang finished speaking, he leaned forward and raised two fingers: "As long as two rice grains..."

Before the words could be said, a few people outside pushed open the courtyard door and strode over.

Liu Chengzong raised his eyes and saw that the leader was Liu Chengzu, with Cao Yao, Yang Dingrui and others beside him, all of them looked serious.

As soon as he stood up, he heard Liu Chengzu come forward and say, "Lion, something happened, we were caught and taken to the county office."
