The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 280 Wang Huan rebelled against the Song Dynasty

Zhang Yizhi left with great satisfaction, and He Lianlian, who had a sad smile on his face, came and left in a hurry.

Only Wang Huan looked at his retreating figure in despair, feeling so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

He Lianlian used herself in exchange for Zhang Yi not to pursue Wang Huan's guilt. If it were a heartless and heartless man, he would probably just think that he had escaped. Unfortunately, Wang Huan was not that kind of person. Although he was quite romantic, Although he is famous, he is also a real sweetheart.

Rather than trading his beloved woman for his survival, Wang Huan would rather be executed under military law.

Du Kan looked at the leaving Pioneer Commander Zhang Yi with joy, but at the same time he still had some regrets in his heart.

This whistleblowing benefited him greatly, and he was temporarily appointed by Zhang Yi as the deputy general of the headquarters, second only to Wang Huan, who was a general.

By the way, a general is the chief commander, representing the main control over a troop of troops. Wang Huan's military and horse supervisor is a military rank position, which represents Wang Huan's responsibilities and authority in the original location of his army. The two cannot be confused.

Du Kan only sighed that Wang Huan had a good life. There was such a stunning beauty who was willing to sacrifice for him. Of course, this did not mean that he sympathized with Wang Huan. It's a pity that Zhang Tongzhi failed to directly order Wang Huan to be killed, otherwise he would have been promoted to general in one step.

Du Kan knew very well that Zhang Yi's purpose in appointing himself as deputy general was to restrict Wang Huan's military power and even sideline him if possible.

Therefore, Du Kan, who thought he had a backer, smiled and said to Wang Huan, who looked ashen-faced: "They are all gone, so don't worry about them anymore! Remember! When you see He Xing in the future, you should first call him Mrs. Control!" Don't have any more evil thoughts! Otherwise, the Commander will look bad! Go! King's Superintendent! Call the entire army, and I will announce the appointment of the Commander!"

Wang Huan looked at Du Kan coldly and said in a deep voice: "Are you very proud?"

Du Kan looked at Wang Huan, who had a frosty face, with a smile, and said proudly: "Of course I am very proud! Speaking of which, Du has not thanked Wang Dujian for the good opportunity with me. If it were not for the cooperation of Wang Dujian, Lord Control, How can you like me, a penniless military escort!"

Wang Huan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What a shameless villain! If Wang can tolerate you, I'm afraid the world will not tolerate you!"

At this moment, Wang Huan was still tied with a finger-thick hemp rope, but he became so angry that he struggled to free himself with both arms, breaking the hemp rope and getting free.

Du Kan was stunned. He felt something was wrong, but when he was about to turn around and run away, Wang Huan had already grabbed him with his hands and pinched his forehead.

Du Kan shouted in horror: "Wang Huan! I am the deputy general of the headquarters personally appointed by Lord Commander, you can't kill me!"

Wang Huan cursed angrily: "Shameless traitor! Not to mention a villain like you, even if Zhang Yi is right in front of me, I have to spare him!"

Du Kan finally understood Wang Huan's cruelty. He knelt down in horror and begged: "Prisoner, please spare my life! Superintendent, please spare my life! I was confused for a moment and offended the might of the Superintendent. Please spare me!"

How could Wang Huan listen to his begging for mercy? He just grabbed the guy, and with a sudden force of his arms, Du Kan's head was pulled out of shape with a crack, and the spinal bones were loosened.

Du Kan screamed and became silent again. Wang Huan threw his body to the ground angrily and stamped his feet a few more times before giving up.

Then he went back to the big tent to get his iron plum-blossom spear, and then led his mount out, and immediately rode to chase Zhang Yi and his party.

Just before he ran out of the camp, a dozen fast horses came galloping from a distance, and the knights on the horses were all frightened.

But when Wang Huan took a closer look, he was surprised to realize that the leader was none other than the pioneer commander Zhang Yi who had just left!

Wang Huan was surprised at how these people returned, but he was more concerned about He Lianlian's whereabouts.

It's a pity that Wang Huan looked and looked, but he never saw He Lianlian.

Zhang Yi came close, but shouted: "Prison King! Hurry up and gather soldiers and horses to kill the evil thieves with me!"

Wang Huan had many doubts in his heart. When Zhang Yi came closer, he only fired one shot and knocked him off his horse.

However, Zhang Yi's bodyguards who were rushing behind were all shocked and shouted: "Bold Wang Huan! How dare you commit murder against a high-ranking official?!"

It's a pity that Wang Huan didn't let him wait, and only used a plum-blossom spear. No one among the powerful guards could resist him, and they were all stabbed to death by Wang Huan.

After killing all Zhang Yi's personal guards, Wang Huan jumped off his horse, carried the injured Zhang Yi, and inquired about He Lianlian's whereabouts.

At first, Zhang Yi couldn't see the situation clearly and scolded Wang Huan for his boldness. However, after receiving a few punches from Wang Huan and having five of his fingers broken off, poor Zhang Yi finally came to his senses. Who is the king?

What a painful realization!

After Zhang Yi's intermittent narration, Wang Huan learned that not long after he left the camp, he was attacked by a monkey-faced monster near a woodland. A dozen brave guards were attacked by the monster with extremely cruel attacks. The method of killing.

In order to escape for his life, the panicked Zhang Yi pushed He Lianlian off his horse, and then swarmed back to the military camp with the remaining guards, hoping to use the army to fight against the monster.

Wang Huan was so angry that he pinched Zhang Yi's neck and shouted: "Traitor! You took what I loved by force, but you didn't show mercy, and you killed her! How can I tolerate you when you insult such a dishonest person?" ! Come and die with me!"

With that said, Wang Huan broke many of Zhang Yi's ribs with just one punch.

Zhang Yi screamed in pain, but said in panic: "Prisoner Wangdu, please don't kill me! I am an old member of Shangqiandi, and I have won the trust of the officials. If you kill me, the officials will not spare you!"

But Wang Huan scolded: "You are such an incompetent villain! How can you, a person who just works casually, gain the trust of the officials! If I kill you now, I will eliminate a traitor with the officials!"

Cursing, Wang Huan punched Zhang Yi on the shoulder again, until Zhang Yi's shoulder blade collapsed.

Zhang Yi couldn't bear the pain, so he cried and begged for mercy: "Prince, please spare my life! Supervisor, please spare your life! They are all villains who are short-sighted and have offended the power of the general. For the sake of going south to beg for thieves, please spare my life!"

Wang Huan scolded angrily: "Straight bitch! If you could be tougher, I might as well spare you. You are so spineless, but I won't spare you! Please take another punch from me!"

Wang Huan's punch hit the side of Zhang Yi's neck, causing his head to turn upside down. How could he survive?

Wang Huan seemed to be at a loss as he just beat Zhang Yi Shangwen's body violently, cursing and beating him until he was beaten into a pulp, and then he stopped.

Wang Huan spat at the corpses, then picked up his gun, mounted his horse, and ran straight to the forest where He Lian Lian's accident occurred.

When he arrived there, he saw that the blood everywhere was the bloody remains of the torn and thrown bodies of Zhang Yi's personal guards.

Wang Huan looked around, but there was no figure or body of He Lianlian, leaving only a pair of suede leather boots, which belonged to the sharp-minded man.

Wang Huan held the little boots, but there was some hope in his heart. Could it be that Lian Lian was not dead? !

He had some hope in his heart and rode around looking for traces of He Lian Lian, but found nothing. Wang Huan was anxious and hungry. After wandering around, he came across a temple, but it turned out to be the Panlong Temple where Chen Congshan had stayed a few months ago.

Wang Huanxun asked the monks in the temple about the monkey-faced monster that robbed people.

Zen Master Dahui said to him: "There is indeed a monster in Meiling. In the past six months, it has robbed beautiful women in various places in the north and south, and nearly a hundred people have been harmed by it. But that monster has quite magical powers, and mortals cannot defeat it. Now. Most of the troublemakers in Lingnan are similar to generals. If you want to save your relatives, you can go south to find some capable helpers."

Wang Huan was surprised and wanted to ask again, but Zen Master Dahui stopped answering.

Wang Huan had no choice but to retreat.

When Wang Huan returned to the camp in despair, he found that the military camp had already been filled with excitement.

However, all the sergeants got up early. When they saw the blood stained ground in the camp and the body of pioneer officer Zhang Yi, they were all shocked and panicked.

Straight bitch! Your immediate boss died in your own camp, what should you do? !

Everyone from the head of the army to the small soldiers knew that according to the military system of the Song Dynasty, none of them had anything to do with this disaster.

When Wang Huan returned to the camp, everyone seemed to have found a backbone, and they all came closer to ask Wang Huan for a strategy.

Wang Huan saw everyone reacting, but he had some thoughts.

He ordered all the leaders to line up the army, then summoned all the leaders and the guards, and said to everyone: "Zhang Yi is a villain! He threatens and bullies his subordinates! Yesterday, we rushed the army to set up a stronghold thirty miles away. Not only did that guy You don't care about our hard work, but you still force me to wait for the troops to be reined in before advancing! All the soldiers are mortal flesh and blood, born from father and mother, how could they endure such torture! So I refused and killed them!

This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with the officers and men. If anyone is angry with me, he can just take me and plead guilty to Commander He! "

The captains and guards looked at each other in confusion for a moment, and suddenly one of Wang Huan's confidants, the captain, shouted: "What the guards did was all because they loved and protected us. How can we betray each other and harm each other! And in accordance with the laws of the army." , so we took him to the capital prison to plead guilty, but we couldn't escape the punishment.

Normally, he is fine, but he is sent to exile from left to right. Now that the war is approaching, Shangguan will organize us all into death row camps (death squads). When the war starts, no one can escape with his life, I'm afraid every one of us will be a trench-filling ghost! "

Everyone heard it, but they were suddenly shocked. They had known for a long time that Zhang Tongzhi would be implicated in his death, but they couldn't see it clearly. Now that they heard everyone analyze it, they became more understanding, and some distracting thoughts were dispersed. Go.

The one who spoke, Dutou, cupped his fists and said to Wang Huan: "Superintendent, I know that you are from a big family and have a strong family background. You must have a plan to kill Zhang Yi. Why don't you talk to us about it, so as to put everyone's minds at ease?" It won’t win people’s hearts!”

Wang Huan shook his head and smiled forcefully: "Xue Ju, you better know me! That's all, I'll talk to you."

Wang Huandao: "Everyone should know that when Nong Zhigao rebelled in Annan, the officials sent Di Wuxiang and Yang Wudi south to quell the rebellion. Although the rebellion was suppressed, the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties (in fact, a large part of them were left behind to enrich the Han family). population).

Now the rebellion in Lingnan has started again, and we have been drafted south. If the commanders are Di Wuxiang and Yang Wudi, I will fight with you to kill the enemy and make great achievements.

But now the coach is He Zhizhong, a civil servant who has never commanded an army, and the pioneer officer Zhang Yi is even more of an idiot. How can he defeat the thieves? If we rush into the army rashly, we will die without a burial place! Therefore, I used an excuse to kill Zhang Yi in order to escape death.

Everyone, please be at ease, He Zhizhong will be defeated this time. In the future, the officials will select more elite soldiers to attack the bandits. However, we can easily recruit people and return to the Song Dynasty. Only in this way can we make great achievements and gain the title of wife and son! "

At this time, Dutou suddenly asked: "How can Dutou be sure that the military commander will recruit me and others later?"

Wang Huan smiled and said: "Looking at all the generals in the world, only the northwest can be called the elite. If an official chooses a strong general, he must choose one or two from the northwest commanders. Although Wang Huan is not talented, his grandfather is a famous general in the world. Shao Shao, known as the Deputy Envoy of the Three Wonders, and all the capable generals at the border are all from my grandfather's old corps. But if he waits for his arrival, I can return to the establishment with just one letter, and be rewarded for my merits!"

Wang Shao was the first-class general on the northwest battlefield after Di Qing's death. He was resourceful and rich in strategy. This guy was a Jinshi, and his talents were by no means inferior to those of the later Zongze, and he was even better.

At that time, King Anshi of the Song Dynasty carried out reforms and party disputes continued. However, on the northwest battlefield, the Song border troops were able to suppress Xixia and beat them severely. It was because of such an outstanding commander and the bravery of countless Song soldiers.

Wang Shao fought throughout his life and expanded the border for more than 2,000 miles, forming a siege to Xixia.

He was famous for his "strange tactics, extraordinary deeds, and extraordinary rewards" in his military use, so he was nicknamed the "Three Wonderful Deputy Envoys".

Wang Huan said that all the commanders in the northwest are now Wang Shao's old troops. This statement is definitely not an exaggeration.

When everyone heard what Wang Huan said, they were all stunned, and they all cursed in their hearts: Straight mother-in-law! It’s strange how Dao Superintendent dares to do such a big thing, but it turns out he has such a backstage! If we have such grandfather's disciples, we also have the same ambition!

Everyone murmured for a while, and finally Dutou Xue Ju took the lead and said, "We are convinced of Du Superintendent's plan. If you don't give up, we hope Du Superintendent will follow his lead!"

As a result, Wang Huan gained the hearts of all the troops, but he threw the bodies of Zhang Yi and his personal guards into Meiling, allowing them to be eaten by tigers, leopards, and wolves.

He prepared his troops and went south just like his previous counterinsurgency troops, asking for food, wages and military supplies from the states and counties along the way.

It was not until Wang Huan led his troops to the boundary of Nan'an Army that Zhang Yi's murder was completely exposed, and the rebellion of Wang Huan's troops also spread to Nankang County of Nan'an Army.

It's a pity that it's too late!

Wang Huan led his troops to defeat Nankang County first. This was a major event that none of the rebels in Dayuling had ever done.

Among the pioneers going south, the Hezhou Division and the Hebei Road Troops were implicated in the murder of Zhang Yi. The frightened and angry He Zhizhong sent an envoy to reprimand and punish them, and ordered them to hunt down the rebel Wang Huan.

The new commander-in-chief was He Zhizhong's envoy and student, a young civil servant who was only good at talking on paper, named Zheng Sansheng.

Zheng Sansheng was conceited and arrogant, treating the generals like pigs and dogs. As soon as his servants took over the troops, he killed the patrol officer Liu Qu, the general of the state department, and reprimanded the general of the Hebei Road soldiers and horses, Gaoyi defense general Guan Ke, a hundred troops. Then he ordered two soldiers and horses to pursue the rebels.

Just because Zheng Sansheng and others were not familiar with the terrain of the south and there were many resentments in the army, their advance was much slower than that of Wang Huan's troops. Even though Zheng Sansheng killed many incompetent generals, there was no improvement.

This is not because the generals are unwilling to use their strength, but because the army has traveled more than two thousand miles from north to south without much rest and recuperation, and the physical strength of the soldiers has long been exhausted.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: If you fight for an advantage fifty miles away, you will defeat the general. Not to mention forcing the soldiers like this?

Therefore, the three provinces of Zheng violently brutalized their troops. Although there were many soldiers, Hebei's troops and horses were not strong enough. The soldiers of Hezhou were scattered and disorganized, so they had no external enemies and chaos would arise.

Of course, Wang Huan's troops were able to maintain some fighting strength, but this was because Wang Huan was a veteran of the battlefield and had a family tradition, so he knew the key to marching and must prioritize the recovery of the soldiers' physical strength, otherwise he would not be able to do so that day. He will not stand guard for the crowd alone.

Wang Huan led his troops to rest in Nankang County for three days, but Zheng Sansheng slowly came back with his tired army.
