"It's suitable for the wild and comfortable. Thousands of mountains are high and low. Good peaks change everywhere, and quiet paths are lost. Frost falls, bears rise up trees, forests are empty and deer drink streams. Where are people? There is a chicken outside the clouds."

This poem by the great poet Mei Yaochen describes the scenery of Lushan County, Ruzhou.

It has been two days since the county town, which is located in the transition zone between the mountainous area and the plain at the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain, has been captured by the peasant army.Outside the city, there are high mountains and dense forests, and a well-developed water system. From time to time, peasant army soldiers cut down trees, built camps, or used them for fire.

Entering the city from the west gate of the county seat, both sides of the street are full of ragged refugees.From time to time, peasant troops in cotton armor came in and out of several high-threshold courtyards.

These guys have been running wildly for the past few days, and today they vented all their grievances here.

Singing the sour song of northern Shaanxi, he lifted his robe and ignored the refugees beside him, took out the thing and released the water.While playing it, he sang "Hold my sister's hand, let's go together, two hillbillies!"

At the crossroads of the street, a few peasant soldiers in old sheepskin coats found some tables, chairs and benches from nowhere, brandishing their knives and axes, they spared no effort to chop these wooden utensils into firewood, and set up pots, stoves and cages. , several Baian masters who were arrested from restaurants in the city began to steam steamed buns with noodles in the cold street wind.

Soon, those refugees trembling in the wind were attracted by the smell of food. [

"If you want to eat white flour steamed buns, follow us, Mr. Cao!"

A basket of steamed buns was scattered among the refugees.

Those refugees who had no life and hope in their eyes began to have a fire.

A loud ringing of Luan bell came from the direction of Lushan's west gate.

"Old Cao really has a trick!"

Zhang Xianzhong twirled his long beard and looked at the scene in front of him approvingly. "Just a few steamed buns can gather so many people!"

"Father commander, in fact, no matter how many of these troops gather, they are nothing more than a strong momentum. If we really want to fight, we have to rely on the elite soldiers of the old battalion!" After Zhang Xianzhong, he led the cavalry of two hundred old battalion soldiers for him. Zhang Kewang, his adopted son, scoffed at Cao Cao's method.

"That's right! However, the elite soldiers of the old battalion didn't fall from the sky either!"

Zhang Xianzhong reprimanded his son, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and led the people to today's meeting place.

The best house in Lushan County was built by an official who returned to his hometown after leaving his official post. The five-entry and five-exit courtyards are extremely luxurious and exquisite, and it is now Cao Cao's old camp.

Previous owner's study.The inscription on the plaque reads that the courtyard of Guanyun Thatched Cottage is today's meeting place.In the spacious hall, several tables of different sizes and widths were pieced together by the soldiers, and they were filled with various food and drinks.

This is the first time that the Peasant Army was able to sit down and take a breather after Lancaochuan broke through!As a result, the counties of Lushan and Baofeng became places where they rested, took a breath, and expanded their army.

In this period of time.Luo Rucai, who has been acting as the military adviser and think tank of the Peasant Army, sent people to invite the commanders in charge of each battalion to discuss military plans.

Zhang Xianzhong was invited to the meeting.

He winked at Zhang Kewang who was arranged by Cao Cao's Chinese army to have a drink outside the door. Zhang Kewang nodded slightly to express his understanding.Then he stepped up the steps and entered the courtyard to meet and chat with the group of old friends. [

And Zhang Kewang sat with Li Zicheng's adopted sons Li Shuangxi, Zhang Nai and others, and narrated the gains of the past few days.

"Double Happiness, you also grabbed a new set of armor?"

Zhang Kewang pulled up a bench and sat beside Li Shuangxi, looking at the new armor on Li Shuangxi's body and head.

While chatting with a few friends.Zhang Kewang listened to the movement in the Guanyun Thatched Cottage with his ears closed. According to Cao Cao's Chinese army, each commander can only bring four personal soldiers in. If Cao Cao has malicious intentions , intending to annex his father, he had to rush in immediately to snatch his father out, and lead his people out of Lushan County.

These calculations and conspiracies among each other can be said to emerge endlessly among the various departments of the Peasant Army. Zhang Xianzhong's Xiying has not only heard of it, but also experienced it himself.On the way to the east, in order to make up for the loss during the breakout, Zhang Xianzhong returned fire and annexed two small peasant army teams, killed their leaders, and merged the old battalion into his own troops!

Li Shuangxi's face was full of color.Tapped his new breastplate with the hilt of his sword, "It was stripped from the body of one of Zuo Guangxian's guards! This armor is good, you can wear any sword without fear, and it's lighter than other armors!"

"Moreover, there is a layer of deerskin cushion and a layer of cotton cover inside. It is warm and comfortable to wear on the body, which is equivalent to an extra layer of armor!" Zhang Kewang is also very proud.

"Cousin Mao, you too?!"

Li Shuangxi was a little surprised.

Zhang Kewang lifted up the brocade shirt on his body and motioned the two friends to look at him.

"I stripped it off from a soldier under Crazy Hong who sent orders to Sun Chuanting's old man's camp! Not only this armor, but also this!"

He took out a water jug ​​from his waist, the whole body was made of pressed steel, and a cover was made of silk floss on the top, and put it on the water jug, "This gourd is much stronger than ordinary gourds and clay pots. It is not afraid of falling or touching. Moreover, Keep warm!"

He unscrewed the lid and motioned for Zhang Nai and Li Shuangxi to have a drink.

"This? Not surprising!"

Zhang Nai couldn't see Zhang Kewang's complacent expression, "We ran into the camp and snatched a lot of good things. Uncle Waqi beheaded Zuo Guangxian's nephew and obtained that precious knife, which is really a precious knife for cutting gold and cutting jade! "

Several half-children were bragging and fighting for their respective team's record on the top of the mountain, but there seemed to be a warm and friendly atmosphere in the Guanyun Cottage.

"Eight Great Kings! It is said that you were killed when you broke through the siege, why do you look like nothing happened?!"

Ma Shouying, the old man, couldn't help being very surprised to see Zhang Xianzhong walking in with swift steps.

"Could it be a rumor?!"

"Our old man was "shot" by a son-of-a-bitch officer outside Tiesuoguan. Damn it! That donkey ball is good at arrows, and he "shot" my war horse to death with one arrow. , and almost ruined our Lao Zhang’s descendants by the way. If Wen Xiu hadn’t pulled me onto his horse, I’m afraid you would all have to offer incense to our Lao Zhang right now!” He blinked slyly, with a touch of He looked at the group of people with mocking expressions.

"Jingxuan, don't joke, are you really okay?"

"Brother Zicheng. You saw that we came by ourselves on horseback, and that I walked in from the outside by myself. Did something happen to you?" Facing Li Zicheng's concern, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't bear to look.

"Then what kind of panacea did you take?! Tell us, let's ask for some preparations too?!"

"I'm afraid you don't have this blessing!"

Zhang Xianzhong ran on Cao Cao and others.

"That day, when we broke through the encirclement. My father was injured by an arrow."

Zhang Xianzhong's right leg was pierced by a spiked arrow, bleeding profusely, and he could hardly get on the horse.Suddenly, Xiying was almost on the verge of collapse.If it weren't for the strong pressure of his four generals and four adopted sons, Xiying would have become one of the mountains that Hong Chengchou wiped out.

Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong saw that the people around him seemed a little disbelieving.As a gesture, he wanted to take off his pants, and let the leaders see the arrow wound on his leg. "My father will let you see our wounds!"

"Forget it! Jingxuan, just keep talking! You are not a beauty, and no one wants to see you take off your pants!"

Although Li Zicheng doesn't have a legitimate independent family, he is also a figure who leads his own army, so.It is also qualified to participate in such a conference.Among the people present at the meeting, he had always had a good relationship with Zhang Xianzhong. Although the two parties were somewhat displeased with each other, they were very convinced of each other.Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to take off his trousers in public to let everyone see his wounds, he spoke to stop him.

"Or else it must be our old Zhang Fu's life and fortune! A group of youngsters saw that I was bleeding profusely, and planned to turn their backs and join the army, Xiaowang," he glanced at the courtyard where he was talking with a group of little brothers. Zhang Kewang, who was drinking and talking happily, "I will take someone to suppress it!"

From a distance, Zhang Kewang saw a small group of cavalry from the army passing through the mountains and forests, all of them were tall horses.The armor is distinct.There are about seven or eight people. Such a small team is exactly the delicacy in the eyes of the titan Zhang Kewang.

A burst of arrows shot past, seven or eight people all fell off their horses, and Zhang Kewang checked the harvest.Except for five or six fat and strong war horses, what they got was a few sets of cotton armor, iron helmets and swords. However, the biggest harvest was found by searching the parcels of a small school leader.

"The small school is under the command of King Hong Yan. He was ordered by King Hong Yan to send medicine to Sun Chuanting. It is said that there were only a few copies. King Hong Yan was afraid that Sun Chuanting would make a mistake in the battle, so he sent someone to send it to Sun Deaf. As a result, I went the wrong way halfway and bumped into Xiaowang's knife! These elixir "medicines" that King Hong Yan searched for from overseas were naturally enjoyed by our old Zhang!"

According to the usage explained in Hong Chengchou's letter, Zhang Kewang washed Zhang Xianzhong's wound with alcohol in a porcelain bottle first, cleaned the dirt from the wound, and then sprinkled the white "shengjizhixue powder". Soon, with " The medicine powder melted, and the wound that was bleeding just now stopped bleeding. Then, clean cotton was applied to the wound, and the outside was wrapped with gauze. The Eight Great Kings were put on the horse, and they galloped eastward.Along the way, when Zhang Xianzhong saw two or three scattered peasant armies, Zhang Xianzhong pulled his beard, and several wolf-like generals and sons immediately understood, and rushed forward to kill the leading generals in the battalion. Soldiers, belongings and women were taken to the west camp.

"My old man suffered such a serious injury, and they met him, why don't they give me some money for medicine?!" Seeing his son and the generals doing everything neatly, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but twirled his beard and laughed.

"So, this time, Crazy Hong and King Hong Yan bought a lot of good things from overseas, ranging from armor, knives and guns to the wound medicine of the Eight Great Kings. Like a sick mad dog!"

He Jin, who made the first breakthrough in breaking through the Lancao River, had the least loss of strength because he was the first to break through. Not only did he not lose, but on the contrary, he took advantage of the chaos to take in some stragglers from other battalions, and there was still a slight surplus.

"Several officers from He Fengzi's battalion broke through and threw themselves into my battalion that day. According to them, King Hong Yan got a lot of good things before this battle. They alone got hundreds of sets of armor. Weapons, Crazy He turned all his servants into armored soldiers, and his combat power and strength immediately went up to a higher level!"

"In addition to the overseas "drugs" mentioned by the Eighth King just now, this lunatic Hong has a lot of good things! I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to fight this battle in the future!"

He Jin's words resonated in the hearts of all the leaders, "In the future, you must be more careful when you encounter officers and soldiers. Those officers, personal servants and other characters must be searched carefully, so as not to There is something good we don't know!"

After a burst of aroma, Cao Ying's old battalion secretary led a group of personal soldiers, and escorted the original cooks, maids, maidservants, and the master's wives to hold a banquet for the leaders.

"Come here! King Gao Chuang and Eight Great Kings. Lao He, Lao Wang, please take a seat. Have you settled down for Lao Ma's halal seat?" Cao Cao invited all his colleagues to sit for a drink with a smile on his face, while being considerate Ask how the halal banquet for Ma Shouying, the old Hui Hui, is going.

Pork balls made from fine pork are deep-fried, yellow and crispy.With bracken and garlic moss, golden needles, seasonal vegetables, yellow and white, moderately soft and hard fried tofu, selected high-quality vermicelli, etc.; with bean paste, five-spice aniseed, plus dozens of Chinese The herbs are carefully prepared.After stewing and frying, it not only has a beautiful color, but also is delicious, soft and tender, salty and spicy, and has both color and shape.

This is the famous Languo dish in Lushan, besides these on the table.There are also game such as musk deer, giant salamander, antelope, golden pheasant produced in the mountains and forests, and all the leaders are full of greasy faces and are very happy!

"Commanders, what's the loss of breaking through this time?"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Xianzhong and He Yilong were about to start a wine fight.Cao Cao hastily brought up the topic.

As soon as these words came out, all the leaders were asked to stop drinking.

"Old Luo, look! This big guy managed to escape this catastrophe, but you came to expose this scar. Which leader didn't the rebel army suffer heavy losses? When my rebel army was in Shaanxi, there were 20 people, and now? Lu Shanbao There are only 5 or [-] people in Feng and other places, how can you say such depressing words?!"

Although Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, did not have fire and other hills, he did not lose much to the soldiers and horses of the old battalion, so he had the strength and confidence to say this to Cao Cao.

"King Gao Chuang, that's what he said. However, you, King Gao Chuang, also know that our rebel army has never relied on those hungry people who have nothing to eat. Don't look at the people outside my Lao Cao who are recruiting Hungry people, but no matter how many people there are, it means they will have a strong momentum, just more people to attack the city and eat! All of you, who regards them as their capital?"

Luo Rucai, the coach of Cao Ying, squinted his small eyes and inspected the coaches one by one.

"Is the capital of your old Huihui the thousands of old cavalry in your camp? Your old background in Ge Liyan is the more than 2000 old camp. King Gao Chuang, if I exchange a thousand hungry people for Hao Yaoqi in your camp One person, do you want to change? Eight Great Kings, I will exchange 4000 hungry people for your four generals Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli, and Zhang Hualong, do you want to change?"

"Man said it's one thousand for one, but I'm afraid it's three thousand for one. Brother Jingxuan is not willing to change it!" Li Zicheng held the scabbard of the sword with his hand and looked at Zhang Xianzhong opposite him with a smile.

"Then, Brother Zicheng, I will use 3000 people, and I will not change Liu Zongmin. I will only change Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Liu Fangliang and others in your camp. Do you want to change them?"

Cao Cao still had a smile in his small eyes.

And Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also fought with him, "I will exchange 3000 hungry people for Yang Chengzu and Wang Long in your camp. Can you exchange it with Cao Cao?"

In the midst of Cao Cao's questioning and the jokes with Li Zicheng, Cao Cao, and Zhang Xianzhong, everyone present seemed to have been uncovered by a black cloth in front of their eyes, right!For those hungry people who can’t walk, run, or fight, no matter how many there are in our camp, they are just more cannon fodder to eat and make a living. We have to rely on our old brothers to fight the war!

As long as you have the old foundation of the old camp, you don't lose your capital, and you can go anywhere, can you immediately pull up the pole of tens of thousands of people?

"Everyone, think about it carefully, is your old battalion a big loss?"

Cao Cao put a smile on his face.

On the way to flee east, he also quietly annexed a few small old battalions, which not only made up for the losses, but also slightly expanded the strength of the cavalry.From the number of people present in front of him and the information he obtained in private, he knew very well that these guys did the same thing as him, taking advantage of the fire.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the official army's pursuit, they annexed other people's teams.

"So, no matter how many military leaders reported to Emperor Chongzhen by Hong Yan Wang and He lunatics, they just killed some hungry people! It is good for us but not good at all! He has mobilized tens of thousands of horses, Helped us screen the soldiers, and separated the strong and the old and the weak for us!"

"That's what it says, Lao Cao!"

Holding a wine glass, Ma Shouying put forward his own views on Luo Rucai's analysis conclusion.

"I can hear what the captured officers and soldiers said. Hong Yan Wang awarded such a reward. Anyone who beheaded two or three heads of our old cavalry team will be rewarded with a pair of armor. If there are two more heads It is to reward swords and guns, so that the officers and soldiers of all towns and battalions will rush towards us like crazy!"

"Then, my old Cao has a trick to treat him in his own way!"

After resting for a period of time at the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain and replenishing food, grass, mules, horses, and soldiers, more than a dozen peasant armies carried Lushan silk looted from Lushan Mountain, dressed in fox raccoon dogs, green weasels, The leather robes made of flying squirrels and otters meandered eastward, heading straight to Cai, Gushi and other places.

In the marching team, from time to time, there were cavalrymen shouting in and out of the team.

"Anyone who wears Nanman armor and uses Nanman swords and guns in the official army will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver immediately, and the armor, swords and guns will belong to him! I will carry them into the old camp! Three full meals a day!"

Both sides believed that the outcome of this battle was in their favor, and that they were the winning side.

But is it really a win-win?

Xiaoyu wrapped the plaque made by Hong Chengchou's handwriting in red and hung colors, and sent it outside Chaoyang Gate with gongs and drums. Lin Wenbing was chatting happily with several officials who managed the nearby granaries.

"Then let's put it this way, my lords, Wen Bing rents the various warehouses managed by your lords at a rent of one thousand shi per year."

Seeing that Lin Wenbing was here to receive distinguished guests, several officials stood up and said goodbye wisely.

Wen Bing folded the vouchers made of mulberry paper into small pieces and stuffed them into the hands of several officials.

"Brother Lin is still in the food business?"

"Haha! Today's grain is a good commodity. If you transport it to the capital, you can make a fortune. It just so happens that my boss has grain in hand. I wrote a letter a few days ago, intending to transport some grain to the capital."

Nowadays, the price of grain in Beijing is three or four taels of silver per stone, and it is a market with a price.Xiaoyu glanced more and more at this fellow with great powers in front of him.

"It's a pity that Master Hong is far away in the northwest. If you want to suppress bandits near the Jianghuai River and Han River, I have another thing that I can do for you."

He ordered people to hang up the plaque, and collected the letter from Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces. After carefully reviewing the contract document for the purchase of armor and armor written by Mr. Hong himself, Lin Wenbing said another sentence lightly.

"I don't know what my dear brother said?"

"I can organize food to go up the river and hand it over to Lord Hong, so that his troops will have enough food. It's a pity that the Lord has been in Qin, Jin, Yu, Chu and other places, and it will cost a lot to transfer."

Hearing Lin Wenbing's words, Xiaoyu didn't know what to say, she just felt messed up.Hastily completed Hong Chengchou's mission, took a delivery certificate of [-] shi japonica rice from Lin Wenbing, got on the sedan chair, and wrote a letter to Hong Dushi to report the matter back to the mansion.
