Daming wolf ride

On the mountain path, six fast horses were wearing cage muzzles and their hooves were covered with cloth leather, galloping wildly with no sound.About three miles away from the top of the mountain, the horse running in the front suddenly stumbled. The rider seemed to have been on guard. A kite turned over and stood firmly two feet away. At the same time, he drew a knife in his hand, his eyes were full of vigilance.

The last five horses had no time to rein in, and both of them tripped, and the knight on the horse was thrown and gnawed with mud and stars all over the sky.At the same time, a dozen or so men sprang out from the forest, half of them stepped forward and tied up five fallen horses lying on the ground, and half of them surrounded the standing knight, "Throw away the knife!"

The knight was tall, with a sword in his hand, and fearful.Seeing that the people surrounding him were all dressed in black, he asked, "Are you all robbers, or brothers who have lived in Tianxing?"

Hearing him say the name of the big boss, a man wondered: "Who are you, how did you know my big boss?"

The knight nodded, knowing that these people were Guo Tianxing's subordinates, he also let go of his vigilance, and said while withdrawing his knife, "Take me to see Prime Minister Hui Deng."

When the men saw that this person was able to tell the name of the big leader, they knew that this person and the big leader must be old acquaintances, so they also put away their knives, and the leading man clasped his fists and said: "I'm sorry, I will take you there right now. See the big boss, but please blindfold your eyes."

The knight and his men didn't resist either, and allowed them to be blindfolded. They helped them mount their horses, and they didn't take off their blindfolds until they entered the big tent on the top of the mountain.There are quite a few camps on this mountain, all of them are built close to the mountain, the terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is the rebel army Guo Tianxing who just transferred from Wu'an a few days ago.

The leader of the rebel army, Guo Tianxing, whose real name is Hui Dengxiang, was born in Yulin, Shaanxi.The headquarters is one of the 83rd Battalion of the Shanxi Yuyi Army and one of the 32nd Battalion of the Henan Army, with more than [-] subordinates.At the beginning of the year, he moved to Wu'an and other places with the Eight Great Kings and others. Because the government and army came to suppress them from all directions, he had to retreat to Gaoze Mountain, ready to move when the time came.

The tall knight was Li Zicheng, who was originally a postman in Yinchuan. After the imperial court abolished the post station, he went home unemployed and owed debts. Because he couldn't pay the debt owed by Juren Ai Zhao, he was sued by Ai Juren to the Mizhi County Government.Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, paraded him through the streets with a shackle and nearly died. After being rescued by his relatives and friends, he killed the creditor Ai Zhao in a rage, and killed his wife Han Jiner because of his adultery with a villager named Gaihu. .In this way, Li Zicheng had two lives in his life, the government had to ask, and the lawsuit had to die, so he simply went to Ganzhou, Gansu Province with his nephew Li Guo to join the army.

At that time, the commander-in-chief of Ganzhou was posthumously awarded by the imperial court as Taifu Taishi, with the posthumous title of "Wuxiang", Yang Zhaoji, the father of Yang Yufan, the commander-in-chief of Tongzhou who is now stationed in Laizhou.Because of his tall stature and some abilities in his subordinates, Li Zicheng was soon promoted to the commander-in-chief of the army. Later, he killed the general kingdom and the local county magistrate in Yuzhong due to the lack of payment, and launched a mutiny.

After the mutiny, Li Zicheng moved to Hanzhong and joined Wang Zuogua's rebel army.In the third year of Chongzhen, after Wang Zuojia was surrendered by Yang He, the governor of the three sides, he turned to Zhang Cunmeng, who was nicknamed "not sticking to the mud", and became a small captain under Zhang. He also descended to the Ming Dynasty together, but he still harbored rebellion and waited for the opportunity to rebel.

After Hong Chengchou took over as governor of the three sides in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng rebelled again and led dozens of his troops to cross the Yellow River eastward, and joined his uncle "Chuangwang" Gao Yingxiang in Shanxi, known as "Chuangjiang".Last year, the imperial court appointed Chen Qiyu as the governor-general of the five provinces to command the soldiers and horses of the five provinces to suppress bandits. Cao Wenzhao, the general of Shanxi, also led his troops to defeat the peasant army in Shanxi, making the peasant army gain a foothold in Shanxi. In desperation, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong Then he fled to Henan and Huguang, and Li Zicheng followed his uncle all the time.

Guo Tianxing and Li Zicheng are also old acquaintances, they had drank in Gao Yingxiang's tent, when they suddenly saw Li Zicheng coming, Guo Tianxing was startled, jumped up and shouted: "Brother Li, you are so bold, you are so brave all the way. Aren't you afraid of running into officers and soldiers?"

Li Zicheng didn't care to speak, and sat down, "Water!" (Startup: )

"Water, water!"

Guo Tianxing hurriedly called out, several soldiers brought in a few large bowls and handed them to the six people, Li Zicheng took it and downed it in one gulp, drank it all in the blink of an eye, then wiped his mouth, and said anxiously: "The situation is urgent. To cut a long story short, Zijin Liang and Xing Honglang are surrounded!"

"Ah? Besieged? Where is the siege?"

Guo Tianxing was taken aback again, Zijinliang and Xing Honglang had the most troops under the old alliance leader Wang Ziyong, and there were many men who could fight, how could they be surrounded when they were besieged?

"Being chased by Zhang Zongheng and You Shilu from Yangcheng to Zezhou, followed by Gaoping, the eldest son, and Tunliu, they chased them all the way. They couldn't gain a foothold and fled into the mountains. You Shilu had already surrounded the mountains. Zijin Liang had no choice but to escape. I'm desperate." After speaking, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and punched his thigh. (Author's note: Zhang Zongheng, the commander of the Daning capital; You Shilu, the deputy general of Ningxia, and his younger brother You Shiwei, the general of Changbing)

Guo Tianxing also slapped the table repeatedly, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's hateful!"

Seeing him being "unfortunate and hateful" for a long time, Li Zicheng couldn't help asking, "Why, you just sit back and watch?"

Hearing this, Guo Tianxing's eyes widened, and he asked Li Zicheng, "Care? How?"

Li Zicheng stared at Tianxing for a long time, shook his head, and said earnestly: "Brother, we can't live without Zijin Liang. If he is going to die, our rebel army will be dispersed!"

Guo Tianxing was unmoved, he waved his hand, and said, "I'm not saying we can't help, but brother, do you know how many troops Zhang Zongheng has? Our horse army is only a few thousand, but the official army is much more than ours. Besides, we are still old, so we are going to die in the past? Besides, we are more than 100 miles away from Tun, and we have to wait until the infantry rushes over. The Zijin Liang is already finished, and You Shilu is waiting for work, so we are not sending ourselves to the tiger's mouth?" [

Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "There is no need to run more than 100 miles."

"Then how to save them?" Zijin Liang and the others were surrounded in Tunliu more than 100 miles away, but Li Zicheng said that they could save people without running more than 100 miles, which confused Guo Tianxing.

Li Zicheng glanced at Tianxing, then tapped the middle finger of his right hand on the table, "Hit Liaozhou City!"

"...?!"

Guo Tianxing became more and more confused, and looked at Li Zicheng in confusion.

Li Zicheng explained to him: "I don't know how many troops You Shilu has, but I know that there are only [-] defenders in Liaozhou City, and there is food! If you fight Liaozhou, Zhang Zongheng will come back to save you!"

"But it's a city after all, and it's still a big city! With only our two battalions, can we win it?" Guo Tianxing hesitated, as the deal seemed a bit hot.

"Because it's a big city, 4000 people can't defend it, so it's easy to fight! I have contacted Eight King Kong, and he said that as long as you do it, he will do it. We can't take down 2 people with 4000 people?" , Li Zicheng tried his best to cheer him up, and believed that his trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao would be successful.

"What does the Eight King Kong do?" Guo Tianxing's eyes lit up, the Eight King Kong has more soldiers than him, if he is willing to do it, the confidence is much greater.

Li Zicheng nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

Guo Tianxing didn't talk too much, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, motherfucker, if the Eight King Kong did it, I will do it too!"

…………

Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing, and Eight King Kong attacked Liaozhou city at night, and they succeeded in one fell swoop. Zhang Zongheng also abandoned Zijinliang to save Liaozhou.Zhang Zongheng struggled to attack the city, Li Zicheng and others persisted for two days and two nights, and You Shilu finally climbed the city from the west. Li Zicheng had already emptied the granary, set fire to the city, opened the east gate and retreated.Zhang Zongheng was exhausted and tried his best to catch up.The peasant troops under Zijinliang and Xing Honglang escaped from the encirclement so far, and approached Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other units, hoping that all battalions would unite to revive their momentum, but they did not know that a bigger encirclement had already surrounded them.

.........

After the young emperor came to the throne, in order to reform, he once issued an edict that whenever there was an emergency military situation or disaster, the cabinet must report immediately, even in the middle of the night, he must be woken up.Because of this decree, after Fan Weihui's King Lu rushed to the cabinet, Xu Guangqi, a bachelor on duty, did not dare to delay for a moment, and sent someone to call the first assistant Wen Tiren, the second assistant He Ruchong and others to knock on the Qing Palace when they were ugly.

Driving in the middle of the night, something must have happened. Chongzhen, who stayed at Concubine Tian's place that night, did not dare to neglect, and immediately put on his clothes and came out.Please pass Sheng'an, Wen Tiren handed over the memorial, there is a circle with a red stroke in the upper right corner of the memorial, with the word "urgent" in it.

"Just received Lu Wang's urgent report, the bandits have arrived in Xishan, Shunde, Zhending, and they are almost in Jifu!" Wen Tiren didn't dare to speak after finishing the report, and stood there cautiously waiting for the emperor to speak.

Chongzhen was also taken aback. After receiving the urgent report and reading it, he was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jin have been wiped out, but the thieves are about to enter the capital. Zhang Zongheng suppressed the thieves to my heel." Here we come! After driving away the outside thieves, let the inside thieves surround you? Let me have another battle to defend the capital?"

Before Wen Tiren could figure out how to answer, He Ruchong spoke first: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is just a bandit from the Shanshan rat. If Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jin can be calmed down quickly, so can Henan and Hebei. Let the thieves go to the feet of the emperor."

"The thief? The prefectures and counties belonging to the three prefectures of Huaiqing, Zhangde, and Weihui have been burned and looted! Is this a thief?" Chongzhen sneered again and again. In just a few months, more than a dozen counties in the three prefectures have been robbed by thieves, how can he not be angry.You must know that when he heard Henan Sweeping Victory, how many bandits were beheaded and how many prefectures and counties were recovered, the emperor was so happy that he almost couldn't sleep.Now the situation has changed suddenly, the bandits who had been wiped out by the government and army reported in the local newspapers have reappeared, let alone a young emperor like him, an ordinary person would vomit blood with anger.
