Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Yao Liang smiled and raised his hands and pressed them down to calm everyone down, and then said: "We have arrived in Xinye after a lot of hard work, and we can't let this piece of fat escape from our mouths. ! Now I will make arrangements first, how to enter the city."

"Give me all the ladders you just made, and let my men climb over the city wall and enter the city. Then open the city gate and rush in together..."

The leaders listened carefully to Yao Liang's arrangement, because the people brought by Yao Liang took on the most dangerous task of overcoming the city wall and seizing the city gate, and the leaders had no objection.

At the end, Yao Liang said: "Brothers, have you remembered your position in the city? Let me say one last thing: after entering the city, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you must not rape women. .We are the rebels who rob the rich and give to the poor!"

Yao Liang's words made some bosses look a little ugly.At this moment, a leader next to him interrupted and echoed: "The big cabinet is really right. We are going for the long-term, not just for a moment of pleasure. Whoever violates it, I, Tie Si, will turn my face and deny anyone first." See People who get up and flatter are everywhere!

Yao Liang smiled at Tie Si appreciatively, and said, "Brother Tie still understands the truth! After entering the city, you take your people and act together with me!"

The rest of the leaders immediately understood what Tie Si said just now, and Yao Liang had already attracted Tie Si as his confidant. They were all secretly regretting in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "Listen to the big cabinet. We are the rebels!"

When those leaders saw Yao Liang leading his 600-odd people to the front of the team with ladders, they couldn't help feeling a little rejoicing, not only that they were not cannon fodder, but also that they had taken refuge in a benevolent and brave leader .So unconsciously, those new recruits gradually integrated into Yao Liang's team.

But just when Yao Liang was about to give the order to attack the city, the city gate opened with a "creak", which made everyone confused about the situation. A leader asked doubtfully, "Why did you open the city gate? Could it be that there are Ambush?" [

Everyone was ready immediately.Be prepared that soldiers may rush out of the city.But after waiting for a long time, I only saw a few people standing at the gate of the city, waving to Yao Liang and the others.

"What's going on?" Ye Chao asked Yao Liang in surprise.

"Whatever his business is! Let's rush over and control the city gate!" Yao Liang ordered immediately.So Fu Sheng immediately rushed to the city gate with his two companies.Surprisingly, the city gate of Xinye County was occupied by Yao Liang and the others.

The one who opened the city gate was the same group as Qingpi who reported to the Peasant Army.Because Yao Liang's troops are so deceptive now, that group of people thought it was the arrival of the peasant army.But when they saw the peasant army who was not sent by themselves to report the news, that group made a mistake and took Yao Liang and the others to seize the whole city.

Yao Liang also remained calm.Without revealing his identity at all, according to the prior arrangement, Yao Liang's leaders successively occupied all the key points in the city.And under Yao Liang's restraint, those leaders only forced the big households in the city to take out a large amount of grain and silver. Of course, it was inevitable to steal some property of the people in the city.But in general.The military discipline in the city is relatively strict.

Yao Liang mainly guards the county government, as well as the warehouses and official warehouses near the county government.Although a lot of food in the official warehouse was taken away by the victims, a lot was left behind.Including donations from big households in the city, Yao Liang received a total of more than 4 shi of grain, more than 1000 taels of silver, and some cloth, wine, medicinal materials, etc., but the converted silver must have exceeded [-] taels.It can be described as a great harvest.

And Yao Liang, who has settled down, can also count the number of people.Including the new refugee victims in Xinye County, the number of Yao Liang's troops now exceeds 4000.Of course, the combat effectiveness of those newly recruited is also negligible.

Now that the harvest has been so big, Yao Liang is ready to collect it as soon as it is ready. He is ready to return to Xinji Township with food and supplies.But at this time, the spies arranged outside the city came to report: a peasant army had arrived.

Now Yao Liang couldn't leave, he immediately closed the city gate, strengthened the city defense, and then collected a few horses from the city.Let a few soldiers who can ride horses hurry back to Runing to report.

When Wu Shigong received Yao Liang's distress letter, he immediately lost his temper.Regardless of Yao Liang's motives, his actions completely disrupted the actions of the Runing Army.But it's useless to complain now.So Wu Shigong wanted to change this military action immediately.

Xinye County was originally an important military location, but its shortcoming is that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Therefore, anyone who has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that one of the three fires that Zhuge Liang fired when he came out of the mountain was Xinye.In addition, Xinye County is a bit far from Runing.Therefore, the defense fulcrum Wu Shigong arranged on this road is Zaoyang County in the rear.

But Yao Liang was so free and unrestrained, but it put the Runing Army into an embarrassing situation that had to be rescued.For the same reason, Xinye is easy to attack and difficult to defend.The food, grass and supplies in the city are nothing more than the most important thing.The Runing Army has never abandoned its comrades-in-arms.

However, the transfer of this road will greatly expand the encirclement circle of the Runing Army. It is very likely that the peasant army in the encirclement circle can escape through the gaps of the Runing Army and become a fish that slipped through the net.

But now I don’t care about so much. Anyway, the peasant army can only flee in two directions: one is towards Runing, but this road is basically to die; the other way is towards Luzhou. There are already heavy troops stationed here, and the other Ming troops should also be allowed to exercise their muscles and bones.

After thinking about it, Wu Shigong immediately led his [-] soldiers to the direction of the teaching army.After arriving, they gathered the cavalry battalion of the Teaching Corps and galloped to rescue Xinye County.The teaching legion even sent an infantry regiment to follow the cavalry to respond to the rescue. [

On the way to Xinye County, Wu Shigong couldn't help laughing at himself: "I thought I didn't want to go out this time, but I didn't expect that I would go for it myself. I'm really a hard worker!"

But what Wu Shigong didn't expect was that when he rushed to Xinye County after all the hard work, there was nothing but calm.Yao Liang was still guarding Xinye County, and the peasant army outside the city was nowhere to be seen. What was even more surprising was that Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army was stationed outside Xinye County.

After sending away the messenger for help, Yao Liang was ready to defend the city.But when the peasant army appeared outside the city, they did not immediately attack the city, but sent envoys into the city to negotiate with Yao Liang.At this time, Yao Liang remembered that his current identity is also a peasant army.

The envoy was a close friend of King Guabei, he was more eloquent, and the first thing he wanted to do was to recruit Yao Liang and the others.

When King Guabei rushed to Xinye County, he found that other peasant troops had taken the lead, so he was quite depressed.But when he learned that it was a little-known mountain-shaking cannon occupying Xinye County, he immediately made wishful thinking.

King Guabei believed that he was well-known in the peasant army no matter what. As long as he recruited the peasant army in the city, he could strengthen his own strength, and the food, grass and property in the city could also fall into his hands in a disguised form. , and he sent messengers into the city.

Of course it was impossible for Yao Liang to seek refuge with King Guabei, but what he needs most now is time. Therefore, Yao Liang received the envoy very politely and told the envoy that he needed time to discuss this important matter with his boss.

But after waiting for a long time, King Guabei also felt that something was wrong, so he proposed to Yao Liang: According to the rules in the Jianghu, give yourself a batch of food and grass first.

In fact, according to the rules of the Peasant Army, whoever gets it always gets it. The reason why King Guabei made such a request was not because of his own strength.And if Yao Liang refuses the solicitation, the melon back king can get some benefits to some extent.

The request of King Guabei made Yao Liang face a difficult situation.From the bottom of his heart, Yao Liang would definitely not send food to the enemy of the Runing Army, the Peasant Army.But if we don't give King Guabei some food now, it's not like refusing King Guabei's solicitation.

If King Guabei became angry and resolutely came to attack Xinye County, would these mobs of his own be able to hold Xinye County?

When Yao Liang was in trouble, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army also approached Xinye County.At this time, King Guabei had two choices, one was to flee immediately, and the other was to fight the Ruzhou army.But according to the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Guabei King would not choose the second option no matter what.

But the idiom Li Lingzhi faint is used to describe the Guabi King at this time, he is reluctant to part with the food, grass and property in Xinye County!So King Guabei lowered his request again and asked Yao Liang to send troops to fight against the Ruzhou Army with King Guabei.

After that... do I need to say more about the result after that?Think about why Yu Zilian was promoted to Huang Tengda and why Yao Liang was assigned to the frontier.The two of them were old acquaintances in Ningling County, and they went to rescue Guidefu City together, helping each other in the same boat.

So that night, Yao Liang got in touch with Yu Zilian, planning to play tricks on King Guabei in the next day's battle.

But for Yao Liang, the more troublesome thing is how to explain the situation to his boss.So he, as described in the novel, ambushed the swordsman behind the tent.But Yao Liang did not expect that when the leaders heard that they could be recruited by the court, they immediately cheered and agreed to Yao Liang's decision unanimously.In fact, at this time, the attraction of the Ming court was still very strong in the eyes of the peasant army.Therefore, the melon back king was tragic.
