Zhu Yaoshi walked fifty miles to the northwest with all the villagers, and suddenly remembered what Vice General Zhao said that if there was something unsatisfactory, he could come to the same place, so he took people to the southwest Taihang Mountain. The newly defected Zhuang Ke hurriedly blocked everyone: "Now that we are bound to be arrested in the territory of Liang Kingdom, going south is a dead end, it is better to follow me to the way of life in Herenbao."

Everyone felt that what Zhuang Ke said made sense, and Zhu Yaoshi guessed in his heart that this person must be a spy from Mobei, but at this time, it was useless to make enemies, Zhu Yaoshi shouted at the man: "You are a person sent by the Black Flag Khanate, you want to recruit these people, I will not stop you, everyone will go with you, I will go south from one person to my righteous brother"

The Zhuang guest also smiled: "Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, one will be hard to find, in the coming down Zhu Zhuang Lord, it is in order to one day be able to take Zhu Zhuang Master to serve the Khanate, today I am afraid that the Zhuang Zhuang will not be able to make his own decisions", took out the rope and wanted to catch Zhu Yaoshi.

Zhuang Keli also rushed over a few people to arrest Pharmacist Zhu, but Pharmacist Zhu was not in a panic, leaned back, whipped his hand, and rushed out with a red horse under his crotch. Everyone also followed closely behind, and put the rope nooses on the jujube red horse one after another.

Pharmacist Zhu clamped the saddle between his legs, pulled out his knife to cut off all the rope stalks, turned around and shouted back: "Brothers, stay in benevolence and righteousness, he will see each other in the future, you go over there and you can communicate with me, why fight to the death?" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they stopped their horses: "If the master of Zhu Zhuang can't stay on the mountain, he can come back to meet again, and he still won't lose his position as a general."

Pharmacist Zhu didn't dare to be careless, and continued to urge the horse forward and replied: "Take care!" ”

Zhu Yaoshi went all the way south, and encountered some old tribes of grass for the cowards, and everyone told them, and Zhu Yaoshi knew that the land of Youzhou and Jizhou was already full of bandits. Zhu Yaoshi had the intention to gather them to capture the county seat, but was poured cold water by everyone: "Brother Zhu, we have long thought about becoming bigger and waiting for the imperial court to recruit peace, but now General Zhong, who is commanding the troops in Hebei, did not give us this opportunity at all, chasing us everywhere to kill, and even General Zhao, who was entrenched in Taihang Mountain, was cut off by them."

Hearing that Vice General Zhao had been killed, Pharmacist Zhu couldn't help but regret that he didn't follow the Zhuang guests to Mobei. At this time, another person said: "I heard that Brother Zhu and the current Master Murong are in-laws, why did Brother Zhu fall to this point?"

Zhu Yaoshi raised his head and said: "How can I leave the brothers alone, not to mention that what this brother said is not necessarily true, we still avoid the imperial army and wait for the opportunity to move, General Zhong's cavalry is not as good as us, our only advantage is to run faster than them, we now capture the county town and take the money and food and leave, let them be tired of coping, after a long time the imperial court can't afford to consume, we can take root"

Someone also proposed to restore the title of Qin and persuade Zhu Yaoshi to establish himself as the king, but Zhu Yaoshi disagreed: "Qin is already unpopular, and now calling the king will become a thorn in the side of the armies of all courts. Let's get bigger first! ”

The Central Plains suffered from floods, droughts, and locust plagues, and the two khanates of Mobei naturally refused to let go of this God-given opportunity, so the two khanates met again and agreed to send troops in September. Pajaqili ordered the Qianyu army to go straight to the monolith fort, but Hu Gao stopped: "Although the Liang country has suffered a disaster, the strength of the Liang army is still there, and the loss of attacking us is too great, the spies have come to report, bandits in Hebei are everywhere, let's send people to collect these bandits, and we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Pajaqili thought for a moment: "Those bandits are afraid that they are not the opponents of the Liang army, and with them as reinforcements, I am afraid they can't be counted on."

Hu Gao smiled: "Ordinary bandits, naturally not, but some bandits were originally soldiers dismissed by the Liang army, these people are people who have fought for many years, as long as they give them weapons, clothing, food and grass support, they will be able to contain the Liang army." I have already found a person, this person is named Zhu Yaoshi, who has won the hearts of the people and has gathered thousands of people to attack the Liang army on the border between the two countries."

Ju Wuzhi interjected: "Since this person can come and go freely in the encirclement and suppression of the Liang army, he must have something extraordinary, but if this person becomes bigger, it may not be beneficial to us in the future."

Hu Gao laughed: "Since we provide him with food, grass and armor, we will naturally install our people in his army, and he will become big in the future, if he has two hearts for us, he will be eradicated!" ”

The Green Flag Khanate was sincere, Yanchang on September 13 set up 50,000 horses and horses to go straight to the clouds, and by October, Shuozhou in the clouds had fallen into the hands of the Green Flag Khanate. The imperial court urgently ordered Chen Hongyi to lead the army to resist, and Chen Hongyi gathered 30,000 people from all walks of life to enter Yecheng.

With the support of the Black Flag Khanate, in less than a few months, Zhu Yaoshi had 30,000 horses under his command, first killed Fanyang, killed Shi Xiaoming and other officials, and then captured Changshan, plundered and retreated to Herenbao for temporary refuge. Zhong Zhiming led the army to pursue all the way, and when he reached the border between the two countries, he had to give up and had to enter the monolithic fort.

The garrison and soldiers told Zhong Zhiming that it was just bandits, and the Black Flag Khanate was still unmoved, and it was still selling cattle, sheep and horses to the Central Plains. Zhong Zhiming investigated the monolith fort for a few days, but found nothing, so he had to lead the army back to Xiangguo.

At this time, in Jinling City, several great families couldn't swallow the breath of being hijacked by Liu Xuan, and deliberately let Chen Hongyi and Mobei consume each other, so they secretly ordered Zhong Zhiming to lead the army back to Jinling to rest. After Zhong Zhiming received Xiao Shan's warrant, he sighed for a long time, looked at the staff around him, and had to lead the army back south.

As soon as Zhong Zhiming's 30,000 horses retreated, Zhu Yaoshi went south again, and by the end of November, he had reached the front line of Fuyang Xiangguo and took all Youzhou. Pharmacist Zhu was well aware of the Black Flag Khanate's installation of eyeliner to spy on him, so he ordered his old department to open warehouses in Fanyang, Changshan and other places to release grain to help the victims, and secretly recruited thousands of dead soldiers in case of accidents.

Zhu Yaoshi captured dozens of cities in a row, and the news soon spread to Jinling, and the family took the opportunity to impeach the prince Liu Jian and the prince Murong Ling Taifu Li Xiaofei, on the grounds that they colluded with Zhu Yaoshi to rebel, Liu Xuan was not ambiguous, and directly issued an edict to let Li Xiaofei lead troops to recruit Zhu Yaoshi.

Li Xiaofei heard that Pharmacist Zhu had become bigger, he was worried and happy, worried that the soldiers were in trouble, and that he and Pharmacist Zhu were going to fight for the enemy, and he was happy that Pharmacist Zhu actually had such skills. Li Xiaofei struggled all night, and Tuomeng Crow found a few maids to take care of Hongrui, and followed the army north to conquer Zhu Yaoshi.

The imperial court issued an edict for Li Xiaofei to conquer Zhu Yaoshi, and only allocated him 5,000 men, Li Xiaofei was fearless, but his subordinates were all sent from Jinling, so they were all mourned, thinking that there was no return.

After Li Xiaofei led the army to set off, there were still continuous impeachments in Jinling City, and before Li Xiaofei arrived in Xiangguo, there were rumors in the court that Li Xiaofei had defected to the enemy. However, Liu Xuan ignored them all, and sent Li Xiaofei to fight against Pharmacist Zhu this time, he didn't care about the outcome at all, what he wanted was Li Xiaofei's real knife and real gun to fight with Pharmacist Zhu to block the mouths of the family.

But Li Xiaofei's luck was really bad, and the Thousand Feather Army of the Black Flag Khanate came.

The Thousand Feather Army trained for more than a year, and it only took half an hour to conquer the monolithic fort. Fan Zhi and Hong Cheng rushed to the front, and the Qianyu army behind them all scrambled to take the lead, first shooting arrows to pull out the Liang army on the arrow tower, and then climbing up the monolith fort with the help of horsepower.

There were originally 5,000 cavalry left by Zhong Zhiming in Xiangguo City, but these 5,000 people did not obey Li Xiaofei's orders, and when the Qianyu army approached Xiangguo, the leading general Lu Sheng took 5,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the battle.

Li Xiaofei and the 5,000 defenders he brought witnessed this one-sided battle in the city, Lu Sheng is one of the very few people in the family who lead the troops, although he is agile, but he can't stand the strength of the soldiers of the Thousand Feather Army, and he was slapped off the horse by the Thousand Feather Army waving his shield after ten rounds of fighting.

The cavalry of the Liang army was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but the sword in his hand could not pierce the enemy's armor, and his strength was not as good as the opponent's. The 5,000 cavalry of the Liang army held out for an hour and all of them were killed.

The Liang army in the city was so frightened that he couldn't hold it, and Li Xiaofei knew that the city could no longer be defended, so he immediately took people out of the west gate and prepared to escape.

As soon as he came out of the West Gate, he was surrounded by another group of people and horses, Li Xiaofei drew his sword and stepped forward, and it seemed that it was Zhu Yaoshi: "Brother Zhu, why did you collude with foreigners and harm Daliang, why did you let Xuehua and Murong deal with themselves like this?" ”

Pharmacist Zhu smiled: "I, Pharmacist Zhu, didn't take refuge in foreigners, but I just can't live, I just want to do the right thing for heaven, you look at the tens of thousands of people behind me, which one can't survive and rise up, now I have distributed the land and money and food to them, and everyone has something to eat." It's really not worth it for you to continue to work hard for that corrupt court, it's better to follow me to kill a way out for the untouchables in the world."

Li Xiaofei didn't answer, and was about to rush into battle, but the deputy generals around him pulled him together: "General Li, since you are an old friend with him, why don't you make a living for us?" ”、

Before Li Xiaofei could react, several lieutenants pulled him off his horse and escorted him towards Zhu Yaoshi.

Li Xiaofei scolded: "I have treated you well with food and drink along the way, and I have sprinkled a lot of gold leaves for you, but you will take revenge today, it is really better to be a pig and a dog."

"Lord Li is not thin on us, but we also have to live, we were originally good in Jinling, but now we are going to die, who is willing to do it?"

"Lord Li is so rich, and he knows their boss, isn't it good to get out alive? When we arrive in Jinling, we should make amends to Lord Li."

Pharmacist Zhu laughed on the horse: "Xiao Fei, you see that the generals of this Liang State are all greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the use of you being a hero alone?" ”

Li Xiaofei closed his eyes: "I don't have anything to say, I thought we were brothers once, give me a good time!" ”

Pharmacist Zhu got off the horse and loosened the tie for Li Xiaofei: "Where to speak, but each is his master, I will never kill my brother in my life no matter what, today I will sell you a favor, you can go!" ”

Li Xiaofei opened his eyes and couldn't believe it, Zhu Yaoshi pointed at the Liang army general who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "Such soldiers, if I stay, it will only waste grain and grass, and it will be useless to kill them, you can go, next time I will leave you behind!" ”

Li Xiaofei punched Pharmacist Zhu in the shoulder: "I owe you, I will pay you back, take care!" ”

Li Xiaofei retreated south with 5,000 men and horses, and as soon as he crossed the big river, Li Xiaofei asked several lieutenants to lead the army back to Jinling and went to Luoyang by himself. Several lieutenant generals kept them again and again, but Li Xiaofei stayed away from them: "If I go back to Jinling, there will be no good end, you go, I am the only one to lose Xiangguo!" ”

With these words, several lieutenants happily led their troops and continued to the south.

Li Xiaofei returned to Luoyang and reported what happened to Liu Jian in Xiangguo, Liu Jian was shocked, after all, in the impression of the Liang army, the army of the Black Flag Khanate could only draw with the Liang army at most, and now the Black Flag Khanate actually has an army that can only be used as ten, which is a big trouble for the Liang State.

Liu Jian immediately thought of Chen Hongyi, the master of Yecheng, so he wrote a letter about what Li Xiaofei said, and ordered someone to bring it to Chen Hongyi quickly, so that Chen Hongyi could come up with a countermeasure in advance.

The Black Flag Khanate here is like a bamboo, according to Hu Gao's meaning, it is to cross the river and go directly south to Jinling, but everyone is against it, because although the Qianyu army is amazing, it is not accustomed to water at all, and after the Liang army retreated across the river, it also burned all the boats. Pajaqili and the generals felt that the Hebei lands were suitable for grazing, and the people of the Black Flag Khanate were also adapted to living there, and the southern summer was too hot and the water network was crisscrossed, and the Fire Dragon people were reluctant to go. What's more, the two generals of the Thousand Feather Army, Fan Zhi and Hong Cheng, were not interested in the Liang army in the south, they most wanted to fight with Chen Hongyi's Chen Jiajun, and defeating Chen Hongyi was their pursuit!
