"Oh, it turned out to be the remnant of Wu Sangui." Master Wang Jingji's words made everyone understand in an instant.

"If this gang of thieves can still be involved in such a background, then it is urgent to rehabilitate. After the rehabilitation is successful, he may not be held accountable by the imperial court, and the seat he sits on can be moved up. So, Zhao Lixiao, who had a plan in his heart, looked at Li Yicun and asked earnestly:

"Lord Li, since these rebels are the remnants of Wu Rebellious, it is urgent to quell the chaos. What do you need our help with? ”

"Lord Prefect, since it is a peaceful rebellion, it is natural to need soldiers and horses. I have some soldiers and horses, but there are many anti-thieves, and it is not enough to think about it, so I need the help of the prefect to recruit some people to help. Li Yicun stood up from his seat and said slowly.

"There's no problem with that." Zhao Lixiao nodded in approval.

"Then there's the issue of the movement of troops and horses. The transfer of soldiers and horses requires documents from the Ministry of War, so I hope that the prefect can write a letter to help explain the eagerness of this rehabilitation, so that the court will not be blamed. Li Yicun continued.

"Of course. As soon as the morning dawns, I will gather the people for you, and I will also write with you to explain the urgency of the situation. Zhao Lixiao readily agreed.

If it were something else, Zhao Lixiao would definitely try his best to prevaricate, and ignore it if he could. But this is a rebellion in his jurisdiction, if he can't suppress it quickly, then he won't be able to keep not only the Wusha on his head, but also the bad one in his head.

"Then I'll thank the prefect." Li Yicun arched his hand at Zhao Lixiao and thanked him, and then continued: "Since the problem of soldiers and horses has been solved, the next problem is food. ”

"The prefect also knows that it will take more than a month for the documents to be passed on to the Beijing division even if they are passed on quickly, and it will take more than a month for the Beijing division to be passed down. Back and forth, the thief didn't know how strong he had been. I mean, can the prefect use the yamen tax to pay in advance and make up for it when the imperial court's food and salary come down? Li Yicun asked.

"There is no problem, since ancient times, it has been said that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. As an official of the imperial court, there is no reason for my soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to go hungry to rehabilitate the war, and as soon as the morning dawns, I will ask Chen Dian of the household to arrange the money and food problems. Zhao Lixiao still agreed very happily.

"Okay, with the words of the prefect, our army will definitely be able to quickly put down this rebellion." Li Yicun assured loudly.

"In this way, there is Lord Lao Li. I have a pillar like Master Li in the Qing Dynasty, so that I can be more stable like Mount Tai. Zhao Lixiao said with a compliment.

"The prefect has an overreputation. It is really a blessing for the court to have a good official like the prefect, and it is a blessing for the people..."Li Yicun replied with a flattered look.

……

Due to the strong support of Zhao Lixiao, Li Yicun soon got the money and food he wanted, and the soldiers and horses set off from Qilin County to Malone County in less than two days.

After Wu Sixi and others captured Malone County with stratagem, they immediately opened warehouses to bulk grain and recruit troops. However, the population of Malone County is not prosperous, and there are naturally not many young people who come to defect.

Wu Sixi and his group only recruited a few hundred people even after they tried their best, and these people plus Wu Sixi's own people, all the numbers were only about 1,400 people. And due to the tight time, many people in Wu Sixi's team didn't even have a weapon, so they could only use farm tools as weapons.

Although the number of Qing troops who came to quell the rebellion was not large, and the number of strong men recruited was only more than 2,000. But the Qing army at least had sufficient weapons, and each man had a weapon.

Judging from the information obtained by Wu Sixi, the Qing army was much better than Wu Sixi's Great Zhou army in terms of numbers and weapons, but Wu Sixi did not think that he would lose.

This is a big gamble, and if you win the bet, you can further expand your strength, and it will be possible to compete in the world in the future.

"Strength is always played."

Wu Sixi felt that the Qing army that attacked them could really defeat less than 800 officers and soldiers. As long as more than 1,000 people and horses can go up and defeat the officers and soldiers in one breath, then this battle will be won, and as for the remaining people of the Qing army, they are not to worry about.

After defeating this group of Qing troops, then his Great Zhou army could quickly expand its territory to Qilin County, and then the whole of Qujing and even the whole of Yunnan.

Wu Sixi's thoughts Li Yicun didn't know, but he also thought that what this gang of thieves could really fight was the first few hundred bandits who dared to attack the county town and rebel. As long as they are killed, the remaining young men who have been coerced are just the heads of people who are used to send military merits.

Because Wu Sixi found out that the Qing army was going to come over to encircle and suppress him early in the morning, Wu Sixi prepared early, thinking that he could ambush the Qing army on the road.

However, the temporarily established Great Zhou Army did not know how to ambush at all, so the Great Zhou Army ambushed on the mountain was accidentally discovered by the Qing army. Wu Sixi, who had no choice but to give up the ambush, took advantage of the position that the Qing army had set up before the attack, and engaged in a real strength contest with the Qing army.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out, don't look at the Qing army, although it is usually lazy and often does not practice, but after the war drums are beating, it can still barely put up a formation. On the other hand, Wu Sixi's "Great Zhou Army" has no appearance of an army at all, and its scattered appearance is the same as the formation of a group fight in the countryside.

At this time, there was not much speech on both sides, and the drums of war on the battlefield were constantly beating.

"Go to war..."

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and with the cheers of the Great Zhou army, the battle has begun.

In fact, it was not that Wu Sixi couldn't hold his breath, but he was afraid that many of the people in his Great Zhou army who had never experienced war would retreat directly under the sound of war drums that the Qing army was getting closer and closer. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Wu Sixi could only choose to go all out and give it a go.

"Kill... Kill all the dog officers and soldiers, kill all the Tartars..."

With the shouts, the Great Zhou army rushed out like a flood with their "weapons".

"Archers, out of the ranks..."

"Shoot..."

Looking at the rushing Great Zhou army, the Qing army hurriedly mobilized.

"Huh... Woohoo..."

Dozens of bows shot a rain of arrows in an instant. As soon as this rain of arrows flew into the Great Zhou army, it killed and injured twenty or thirty people.

It is also a pity that this group of Qing troops lacks artillery and does not have many bows and arrows, otherwise the Qing army will have several waves of long-range attacks, and the Great Zhou army will have to retreat if it can't even contact the Qing army.

Although the Great Zhou army had suffered a lot of casualties under the shooting of the Qing army, they still gritted their teeth and rushed in front of the Qing army.

Looking at the Great Zhou army that was about to rush to the front of the battle, Li Yicun sat firmly on the war horse and said with a sneer:

"This gang of thieves is really a bit bloody. But it's time for these mud-legged people to understand what it means to fight. ”
