On October 14 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wu Yin was on duty in the prison, and the nine palaces were a white greedy wolf, and the day was worth breaking the year, and everything was not appropriate.

Since early morning, Mengjiazhuang has been shrouded in a tense and solemn atmosphere.

The enemy is coming.

Qin Chuan's message to Zhao Sandao and Ren Liangchuan played a role, and Zhao Sandao boldly expressed his willingness to accept Qin Chuan's group on the spot, saying that he could pick them up at any time to go to Yunzhongshan.

But regarding the proposal of attacking a piece of heaven with the inside and outside, Zhao Sandao did not immediately express his position, and only dealt with a few vague words.

Ren Liang didn't say anything, neither promised to accept Qin Chuan, nor did he mention a word about Bashanhu, but only said a few words: If you sincerely take refuge, you can send some of the money, grain and horses to Donghuluchuan first, and then he will save more than 1,000 lives in Mengjiazhuang.

Qin Chuan knew that Ren Liang was not so easy to deal with, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty moved into the Central Plains in history, this person also resisted the Qing Dynasty for decades, and tens of thousands of Qing troops surrounded Jiaoshan Huluchuan and couldn't help him, and finally if it wasn't for his son to defect to the Qing Dynasty and sell him when he turned around, he could still give the Qing army near Taiyuan and Jiaocheng a headache for several years.

Zhao Sandao estimated that it was not difficult to deal with, and on the surface he agreed very happily, it was estimated that he really wanted to accept Qin Chuan's group, and by the way, he received that batch of money, grain, horses and women, but it was basically impossible for him to deal with more than 2,000 people with hundreds of people in one day.

Unless one day is beaten half to death, he will take the opportunity to beat the water dogs when he has a good chance of winning.

Qin Chuan didn't care, he didn't expect the other party to help, he was just putting on a show, paving the way for the next differentiation of the other party, and delaying the time by the way.

Sure enough, the teaming up of Ren Liang, Guo Yan and Bashan Tiger was slowed down, originally the three families had just discussed the issue of contribution and distribution, and were about to gather their respective teams to march into Lou Fu, as soon as Qin Chuan's people appeared in Donghuluchuan, their footsteps were disrupted.

Guo Yan and Bashan Tiger both planted spies in Ren Liang's village, and they were anxious as soon as they received the news, if Mengjiazhuang voted for Ren Liang, the money, grain, horses, and women were all given to Ren Liang, what would they eat?

The most important thing is that the surnamed Qin wants Ren Liang to kill Bashan Tiger as a condition for surrender.

They are not fools, and they know that this is likely to be a discordant plan by the envoy surnamed Qin, but as the saying goes, it is indispensable to guard against people, especially those who do their kind of business, black eating black has long been commonplace.

In other words, if they had the opportunity to swallow that batch of money and food, I am afraid that they would also attack and kill Ren Liang.

What's more, Bashan Tiger and Ren Liang don't deal with each other, and they don't like each other for a long time.

So, Guo Yan and Bashanhu hurriedly sent someone to tell Ren Liang that after Mengjiazhuang surrendered, they would also share a share of the money and grain, Guo Yan wanted 40%, Bashanhu wanted 20%, and Ren Liang kept 40% for himself.

Ren Liang was so angry that he couldn't do it, this was obviously a discordant plan by the Meng family Zhuang envoy, and those two fools wouldn't be able to see it, but they just fell into the plan.

In this way, there will definitely be a gap between the three of them.

Immediately, Ren Liang personally went to Guo Yan and Bashanhu, swore to explain everything, and promised that if Mengjiazhuang surrendered, the money and grain would be distributed according to what they said.

On the surface, Guo Yan and Bashan Hu continued to gather men and horses to prepare to attack Mengjiazhuang as if nothing had happened, but secretly they stared at Ren Liang's every move, and hid a team of 300 people, secretly following behind, if Ren Liang turned his face, he would be caught off guard.

Ren Liang is not a fool, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed behind, he left two hundred more people to guard the village, and also hid two hundred people and horses, like Guo Yan and them.

Just when they had just gathered their men and horses and just started to Lou Fu, a piece of the sky in Luya Mountain had already passed through Lan County and arrived at Lou Fu.

There were very few spies in Yitian, and there were no spies in Zhao Sandao, so he didn't know that Qin Chuan had gone to find Zhao Sandao, and the reason why he was the first to arrive in Lou Nuan was because he had nothing to eat.

More than 2,000 horses, chased by Zhang Zongheng like dogs, fled all the way, finally entered Luya Mountain, and finally got rid of Zhang Zongheng's dog things, but Luya Mountain barren mountains and mountains, not even a single to eat, thinking of Lan County to grab some food, several villages have long been pulling grain to hide in the county seat, he can't beat the county seat with this little bit of people and horses, so he had to grab some villagers around Luya Mountain, barely got dozens of stones of grain, and ate it again in a few days.

As soon as I heard that Lou Fu Mengjiazhuang had 8,000 stone of grain and 10,000 taels of silver, and there were only a few hundred miners and homeless people guarding the village, I didn't have to think about it for a day, and immediately opened it, and passed through Lan County in a mighty way, and killed Lou Fu directly.

After walking for two days, I finally arrived at Mengjiazhuang, and after seeing the Zhuangzi built on the mountain and the terrain from a distance, I knew that this battle was not easy to fight.

However, no matter how difficult it is, he must fight, otherwise his people will starve to death.

After letting his hungry and tired subordinates rest in place, Yitian took a few cronies and rode his horse close to Mengjiazhuang, preparing to persuade the other party to open the door and surrender first.

……

Qin Chuan stood on the gatehouse, looking at the group of ragged rogues in the distance, his mood was a little complicated.

Among the rogues at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many people who could eat and drink spicy and happy, but more of them were bitter people who couldn't eat enough.

Most of these bitter Hanhan are croppers, yeoman farmers who have lost heaven and earth, tenants and long-term workers of large families, etc., and those who eat fragrant and spicy food are basically old bandits who rob houses all year round, or deserters from important towns on the nine sides.

In the early stage, the army of 200,000 rogues, the main combat power was this part of the people, and the number of croppers who accounted for a large proportion only took refuge in the rogues for a bite to eat, and some were even coerced into thieves, and they had almost no combat power, so they could only be used to fill people's heads.

Eighty or ninety percent of the people in a day are such people, and there are only two or three hundred people who can really fight.

If nothing else, Yitian will let these hard-working people come up and send them to death first, consuming Mengjiazhuang's defense force, and his two or three hundred main forces will be left until the last moment to kill.

Now there are 500 Guan Emperor troops in Mengjiazhuang, 200 newly transferred miners, and 700 young and strong vagrants.

Of course, Qin Chuan was confident that he could keep a piece of heaven out, but he had to minimize his death and save his strength to deal with Guo Yan and Ren Liang and others.

And he can't bear to kill all those miserable people, and if he can kill less, he will try to kill and torture as much as possible.

So, he called Lao Huang and instructed him to go to the ranks of the homeless people to find some loud and sharp-spoken people, and prepare to persuade those miserable people while fighting.

He also asked Liu Youzhu to lead his Wudang battalion of 150 men, prepare horses, and a part of the tiger and leopard battalion as a stormtrooper.

As soon as he gave the order to go down, he saw a few people from the Liukou team, riding horses towards Mengjiazhuang, led by a tall and thin man.

This person should be a piece of heaven.

I saw that the thin man walked a hundred steps away, tightened the reins of his horse and shouted: "Upstairs, is the master of Hongdong Jiuji Mountain Qin?" ”

Qin Chuan raised his voice and replied: "It is here, who dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

A day shouted: "I am one of the leaders of the seventy-two families of the thirty-six battalions of the righteous army, a heaven is also, I have heard that the Qin master is loyal and brave, and the righteousness is thin and cloudy, and I specially invite the big boss to raise the banner with me and conspire with me, I promise you to conquer the position of the general of the east, and when the world is calm, there should be a lot of high-ranking officials, and please open the door of the village quickly and welcome the righteous army into the village,"

Hearing the well-deserved name of the general of Zhengdong, Qin Chuan smiled.

You really dare to brag about it, do you really think Lao Tzu is a pig?

After finally stopping laughing, Qin Chuan arched his hand and replied: "It turned out to be a heavenly handsome, disrespectful, disrespectful, thanks to the handsome, Qin is grateful." ”

"However, Qin has already served Guo Yan of Guandi Mountain, this Zhuangzi is the foundation of Guo Da's family, and the grain and silver in the Zhuangzi are also Guo Da's things, Qin's responsibility is inconvenient to welcome the handsome man into the village, and I hope that the handsome Haihan is in charge."
