Defeated.

An unexpected fiasco made Fu Heng still unable to come back to his senses to face it.

It is said that after the defeat of the Qing army at the mouth of the Jiujiang River, Zhang Rui, the leader of the anti-thieves, once said such a poem: It is advisable to chase the poor and brave the leftovers, and Mo Xueba will be the king to fish for reputation.

As a result, Fu Heng, who was pursuing all the way by the bandit army, had to lead the remnants of the remnants who escaped from the Jiujiang battlefield, and fled all the way from Jiangxi to the border of Anhui, until he escaped to Chizhou City, which was relieved.

The defeat of the Qing army at Jiujiang also announced that Jiangxi Province was about to change hands to the bandit army. At the same time, as soon as Zhang Rui's poems on the battlefield of Jiujiang spread, the eyes of many literati and celebrities couldn't help but light up.

After all, compared with this poem, Qianlong's masterpieces are jokes.

It seems that this thief is not a rumor, but just a vulgar person facing the loess with his back to the sky. Looking at what he does, there is a world of difference between him and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many of them as the masters of Zhongxing.

After the news of the defeat in the Battle of Jiujiang spread from Jiangxi, the loyal army led by Zhang Zhishan encountered almost no resistance on the way north, and the local Qing army surrendered.

With the continuous expansion of the territory of the anti-bandit army, many literati and bachelors have also begun to move. Now is the beginning of the general trend of the anti-bandit army, if he can join the anti-bandit army at this time, his future will be immeasurable. Moreover, I heard that this bandit army has a lot of respect for people who can read and write.

Why don't the boys take Wu hooks,

Collect Guanshan fifty states.

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for the time being,

If you are a scholar and a marquis?

With the continuous victories of the anti-bandit army all the way north, and even without the propaganda team of the anti-bandit army for propaganda, many Confucian scholars came to join the anti-bandit army by themselves. If this had been before, the propaganda team didn't know how much it would have to spend to recruit a reader.

…………

Yanping, Fujian.

Yanping Mansion is located in the lowest part of the Great Valley in central Fujian. The northeast is dominated by low mountains, the north is dominated by middle mountains, the south is dominated by medium and low mountains, and the west is dominated by low mountains and hills. Yanping Mansion as Fujian's transportation and military location, the palace is extremely dangerous, and Shaowu Mansion leans on each other, and the proverb is called "copper Yanping, iron Shaowu".

The sky was overcast, gusts of wind stirred the heat of the land, and low-pressure clouds signaled heavy rain to come.

At this time, not far from the city wall of Yanping Mansion, there were several square formations of bandit suppression troops.

"Brother Lin, do you think those guys on the city tower will surrender?" In the vanguard of the bandit army, a young green battalion soldier Li Dawan with a steel knife in his hand asked Lin Lou beside him anxiously.

"I'm not an immortal, where would I know. You want to know that you go and ask them. Lin Lou didn't answer angrily, and immediately looked at the city wall and said to himself: "I hope they had better surrender with interest, otherwise it will be another bloody battle, and I don't know if they can survive." ”

"Brother Lin, you said that these thieves are too cunning. When we surrendered, we clearly promised that they would let us go, but now they say that they want us to come and attack this Yanping City, or do they say that they will follow us after defeating Yanping Mansion. Isn't this overt bullying! Li Dawan's tone was very excited, and his tone was slightly improved.

Hearing this, Lin Lou immediately turned to look at him, and then whispered, "You are louder!" Let others listen, and you will know what it means to walk around without eating. If you want to die, don't pull me. ”

"Yes, I was wrong. Brother Lin, I'm also angry for a while. Seeing that the weather is about to rain heavily, we have to help them attack this Yanping City. Li Dawan also seemed to realize his mistake, and his voice dropped a lot.

"There's nothing to be angry about, it's fate. When you are a soldier and eat, you have to expect such a day. Fortunately, in this anti... This bandit army is also moral, and it will also give comfort money to the brothers who are killed and wounded, and will also give some fields and homes. If it's in the imperial court, I don't even know if I'm buried when I'm dead. Lin Lou sighed and said:

"Big bowl, have you ever thought about it. If it were the other way around, and it was them who surrendered, do you think they would be as good as we are now? ”

Lin Lou's words made Li Dawan's originally angry heart suddenly relax a lot. As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast. If you don't take the surrender as an example, this bandit army is indeed several times better than the imperial court. Not to mention anything else, even the food in the army is much better than that of the imperial court.

"Brother Lin, it's not wrong if you want to say that." Li Dawan also replied helplessly. In fact, Li Dawan is not really a young man who doesn't understand the sinister world, and he also understands what Lin Lou's words are about.

Indeed, if the situation is the other way around. Then the surrendered bandit army was either killed by them, taken by them to do military merit, or escorted to be used as slaves.

"Now it depends on whether the generals on the wall are interested in it." Lin Lou looked at the wall of Yanping Mansion again.

At this time, not far from the city wall of Yanping Mansion, several guards escorted a man dressed in armor and stomach and walked towards the city gate.

"Listen, the people on the city wall, I am Li Ziju, the garrison of the green camp of Sanming City. Now I have something to ask to see your guerrilla general, General Zhang Yicheng, please speak. The man in armor shouted loudly as he approached the gates.

"Boom..."

There was a thunderclap in the dark sky, and a wind swept around with the heat of the earth.

After a while

I saw that at the female wall on the city wall, a head poked out and looked at the Li Ziju people not far from the city gate. Immediately, a rough voice came from the head of the city.

"I'm Yanping City guerrilla Zhang Yicheng, what's the matter with someone asking me?"

Hearing the sound, Li Ziju was very happy to raise his head and look at the female wall at the head of the city to find the source of the sound.

"General Zhang, I am Li Ziju, the green battalion garrison of Sanming City. We met at the banquet where Lord Wang Yanzhi was promoted a year ago, and I don't know if the general still has an impression. When he saw Zhang Yicheng as an adult, Li Ziju hurriedly reminded Zhang Yicheng loudly to identify his identity.

"A year ago? Wang Yanzhi was promoted? After Zhang Yicheng secretly read to himself, his mind kept thinking about the situation at that time.

"It turned out to be Li Shoubei, disrespectful. What are you doing here? Zhang Yicheng really couldn't remember the specific situation at that time, so he could only take over the conversation in a default way and ask.

"General Zhang, it's great that you remember me. That's right, I'm also a member of the bandit army now, and now I'm ordered to come and surrender. ”

"General, our army has surrounded Yanping City. You and I are both Han Chinese, and we did not fight each other for the Manchu Tartars, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties among the soldiers. Please surrender with the generals! It's not worth it to work for the tartars. ”
