It was nearly noon, Qingzhou City was still boiling, the army and the people were united in their hearts, and they were happy to finally beat back the Qing soldiers who were besieging the city, but they didn't dare to relax too much, after all, although the Qing army retreated and did not leave, in fact, it was loose inside and tight outside.

A few miles north of the city, on the bank of the Nanyang River, there are nearly 10,000 Ming troops patrolling, and there are also small patrols outside the city that are chasing the surrounding Qing army.

Although the city and countryside were tired, they could not go down to the city without military orders, and they fell asleep when they sat and lay down, and dozens of porridge trucks slowly provided them with the most intimate service.

In the enemy building, Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu Song Luoyu brothers and sisters sat on the ground against the wall and looked at each other and smiled, each of them had a bag of gold beside them, worth a thousand taels, which was King Heng's reward silver.

"I never dreamed that I would be so rich one day!" Lao Jiu bit his lip and smiled, Song Luoyu pouted: "Out of breath!" ”

"Hehe, I'm also a worthless!" Jia Waixiong took out a piece of gold ingot, and played with it in his hand: "If I say that it is the first time I see gold, will you laugh at it."

"Me too" Song Luoyu didn't laugh at him this time.

"We're all," the four laughed.

Some people are happy, some people are sad, the villagers bravely defend the city, the casualties are all young and strong in the city, the family members who have lost their relatives are sad and happy, happy is to keep the city and get a pension, sad is that the relatives can never come back......

In the military camp in the city, there was a terrible howl, and more than 2,000 wounded villagers and soldiers were sent here, knife wounds and arrow wounds abounded, and it was not uncommon for missing arms and legs to be broken, which made the military doctors very busy.

I have to say that under the flickering of the little eunuch, Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng, showed the greatest sincerity, and when he was mobilized before the war, he gave people money, food and drinks, and after the war, he threw a lot of money, not to mention, even the wounded medicine and doctors in the palace poured out everything.

This is also the reason why Chang Yu looks at him differently, although he is timid but real!

The smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, but the spectators on the hill west of Qingzhou City did not disperse, but were more interested in discussing the previous battle, these spectators were Yuan Wentian and other horse thieves.

Since being requisitioned in the mountains as logistics, Yuan Wentian and his gang of horse thieves have shown their dedication, boiling water, cooking, and patrolling are not sloppy at all, winning the favor of officers and soldiers.

Before dawn, the ambush soldiers went out of the mountain, 3,000 soldiers went to the city to kill the enemy, and more than 200 horse thieves of Yuan Wentian did not receive the military order to help the war, so they would not take the initiative to participate in the battle, so they watched the battle in the mountain pass, only beer, peanuts, mineral water.

"Big boss, this emperor's personal guard is really powerful, three thousand people can kill tens of thousands of Tartars......" There are a few horse thieves lying in the grass on the hill and still silent in the plot of the previous war, after all, I have opened my eyes today, and the brawl I used to fight and rob the house is not comparable to the scene of the two armies fighting in front of me!

"Amazing, it's really amazing," Xiang Wentian was also shocked, they knew what virtues the officers and soldiers had on weekdays, and they had heard of how ferocious the Tartars were, but who would have thought that the three thousand guards would kill tens of thousands of Tartars, Tai Nima was powerful, and secretly rejoiced that he had returned to Shun in the mountains as soon as possible, otherwise he would have thrown his corpses into the wilderness at this time.

"Yes, yes" The horse thieves echoed, where did they know that it was not only 3,000 Ming troops but more than 30,000 people who solved the danger of Qingzhou City, but where did they know from a distance on the hill, just to see the excitement.

Seeing that it was noon, the war was over in Qingzhou City, but no one came to greet them, didn't they forget? Anyway, there is still surplus food in the mountains and there is no hunger for the time being, so Yuan Wentian asked people to make a fire to make rice, thinking about whether to go to Qingzhou City to say goodbye.

I didn't contribute to the war, but I can still do the work of cleaning up the aftermath, at least go and brush my face.

"Someone's coming, someone's coming" A few horse thieves who watched the wind in the mountain pass hurriedly ran over, and Yuan Wentian and several thieves quickly got up from the grass and looked out of the mountain, and saw thirty-four people riding horses and approaching slowly.

Not officers and soldiers? Yuan Wentian frowned, and one of his subordinates rushed over: "Big brother, that person said that he came to you to discuss matters with the order of the big official."

On military orders? Then they are also officers and soldiers, but Yuan Wentian looked at the group of people in front of him, how could they not look like officers and soldiers, especially the strong man who was the leader, the five big and three thick faces, and his eyes were still red and swollen, and this temperament looked more like ...... Horse thief.

"Under Qin Fugui's military order, I came to find the master of the Yuan Dynasty to discuss something," Qin Fugui was still very discerning, and he stared at Yuan Wentian as he spoke.

"In Xia Yuan, Wentian is not a big boss, Lord Qin, don't make fun of me, our brothers are also half of the officers and soldiers, everyone is their own people......" What did Lord Qin command, Yuan Wentian said with a smile on his face.

Qin Fugui touched his head, and was very unaccustomed to being called by Yuan Wentian as an adult, but he enjoyed it very much: "Brother Yuan, don't be called by an adult, it's too much to see, the overseer has something to ask me to discuss with Brother Yuan, let's take a step to talk" As he spoke, he pulled Yuan Wentian to a tree not far away and chatted secretly.

"No matter how you look at these people, they don't look like officers and soldiers, they are also bandits, the patriarch will not be deceived, right?" the horse thieves looked at Qin Fugui's gang not far away and muttered in a low voice.

Luo Ertang raised his eyebrows: "Where the army is, what kind of bandit is so bold and dares to pretend, besides, what else do we have to deceive" As he spoke, he looked at Qin Fugui under the tree over there: "Maybe these people were originally with us."

Under the tree, Yuan Wentian looked confused: "Let us continue to be horse thieves?" Didn't you say that you should let us be officers and soldiers? ”

"It's a fake thief who is actually a soldier, and after the thief, he will make a great contribution, and at that time, the Yuan brothers had to get a guerrilla general to eat the royal family, which is much more beautiful than in the mountains...... Qin Fugui continued.

Yuan Wentian hesitated a little, these years the people are not bored with thieves and it is not easy to do, before Shun Chang Yu wanted to eat among the officers and soldiers, then I know that people are now letting him go into the mountains to be a thief, to be precise, let him dominate the mountains and lakes, and integrate the thieves and horse bandits from all walks of life, and flatten the bulldozers.

Isn't this fighting poison with poison and killing people with a knife! Yuan Wentian is not stupid!

Qin Fugui looked around and said: "Brother Yuan, if there are many reckless heroes in today's chaos, the food in the rivers and lakes is not delicious, if you want to live for a long time, you have to find a big backer, tens of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the Lord Governor can't even beat the Tartars, if there is any mountain stronger than this today."

Yuan Wentian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed: "Lord Qin, I take the liberty to ask, you ...... before"

"That's right, my brother did this before" Qin Fugui readily admitted, he knew that the kind of horse thief temperament on his body would not be able to get rid of for a while, and his peers could see through it at a glance, so there was no need to pretend: "Our brother is known as the Three Tigers of Mount Tai......" said with red eyes: "Brother Yuan, although this matter is risky, but how can there be a good thing in the world, we used to rob the house, kill people and set fires, and as soon as the knife was lost, we became officers and soldiers of the court, how can there be such a good thing, the court is not a Buddhism to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha."

"To put it bluntly, you have to vote for the name" Yuan Wentian was bright at one o'clock, bowed his head and gritted his teeth!

"That's what it means," Qin Fugui nodded vigorously.

"Lord Qin, you were ...... back then," Yuan Wentian couldn't help but ask curiously. Qin Fugui's eyes turned red again, and he took a long breath: "The three tigers of Mount Tai are only my three-legged cat."

Yuan Wentian was shocked: "Mo is not ......"

"Last night the Tartars attacked the city, and my two brothers were killed...... The Overseer allowed our brothers to join the army." Qin Fugui looked back at those subordinates not far away: "Two hundred and twenty-six brothers have only one hundred and three left in the blink of an eye."

Yes! Yuan Wentian's face changed greatly, being an officer and soldier is so risky, he looked sideways at the brothers on the hill, and couldn't help but shudder, it seems that it is safer to be a horse thief, and he is also an officially authorized horse thief.

"Brother did it" Yuan Wentian gritted his teeth: "But how to operate, there are no less than ten horse thieves around this Qingzhou Mansion alone, as little as more than 100 and as many as five or six hundred, how can we fight others!" ”

"Pull the small and fight the big, let's directly listen to the order of General Li Shiyuan to garrison Qingzhou, ask for money, give food, give food, and pacify the bandits in Qingzhou for half a year, Brother Yuan, our brothers will join forces and do it vigorously!" Although Qin Fugui doesn't have any great skills, he has a pretty good mouth.

Yuan Wentian was moved in an instant, the risk of being a soldier is too high to be cannon fodder now, but if he can really unify the bandits and horse bandits in Qingzhou, this name will be directly replaced by two guerrilla generals, so he doesn't have to charge into battle in person, and he can ascend to heaven, it's really cost-effective to think about it, so he immediately responded.
