The former Zhang Tianshi, the current emperor of the Red Dynasty, Zhang Guo, had a more difficult life.

Are the comfortable days over in a few days? Since the bad news came from Changzhou, the bad news has come like the tide of the Qiantang River, coming in waves.

Changzhou is followed by Wuxi, Wuxi is followed by Suzhou, so it should be Hangzhou next.

Is the Guards Regiment a heavenly soldier or a general? All cities can't be held for half a day. As soon as the Guards Regiment arrived, it was lost.

Zhang Guo had already sent four immortal generals in a row to chase after the Guards. But looking at the speed at which the city was lost, he found that there were still a few soldiers sent out.

In every city, the Guards Regiment does not stop. Hit and go, leaving a completely undefended city for Zhang. The Celestial Master Army must leave a part of the men and horses to receive it.

This made Zhang Guo feel inexplicable. How can there be a city in this plane, or even in any previous war?

I finally beat it down, but I didn't stay for a few days, patted my ass and left. I cleaned the city before leaving.

Are you here to fight or to be guests? Even the guests are not so polite as you, and they clean up the host.

Without you fighting, I was almost confused by the fighting—he couldn't guess what Qin Mu was going to do.

But whether he guessed it or not, Zhang Guo had to continue to occupy various cities according to the traditions of this time and space. It was his granary, and there was no room for error.

In this way, the troops stationed in Runzhou were greatly thinned.

Even if some soldiers and horses were mobilized from Jiangning and other places, they could not compare to the original number.

Gao Yu was overjoyed when he got this information.

The Guards Regiment, Qin Zhijian, really didn't brag. A strange army entered Jiangnan and immediately enlivened the situation.

The speed of the ships on the opposite shore was decreasing, which made Gao Yu immediately order: the whole army crosses the river, the target, Runzhou City.

The keeper of Runzhou City is Uncle Cao Guo. He is Zhang's henchman. Zhang Guo couldn't leave Jinling - it was the capital of the Red Dynasty, and Runzhou was the key to the key, so Zhang Guo sent his brother-in-law to guard this key for himself.

Tie Guan Li gave Zhang Guo two plans, one was to fight on the river and not let the enemy cross the river; The other is to hold the city and wait for the enemy to attack, so that you can use the advantage of artillery to destroy the enemy.

Both plans have their pros and cons, and Zhang Guo was a little hesitant. But now he didn't have to hesitate, because the first plan didn't work.

A large number of Heavenly Divisions have been transferred away to chase the Guards Regiment, so it has lost the possibility of fighting a decisive battle on the Yangtze River - the strength is not enough.

Uncle Cao resolutely executed the second plan, which was actually the only plan that could be feasible at the moment.

All the horses abandoned the periphery and retreated to Runzhou City, waiting for the enemy to attack.

Gao Yu crossed the river smoothly as if he was going to the suburbs, which made him feel good - it was too easy to fight.

Now his tens of thousands of horses have all come to Jiangnan and set up camp.

The next step is the siege. However, before the siege, there are still some small things to do, and that is to harass the place.

With so many armies dispatched, the food needed was huge. After Zhang Guo cut off the grain channel of the canal, the grain on the north bank of the Yangtze River was already insufficient. Now he has been eaten by the army for a while, and now Gao Yu has not much surplus food.

There is no way to fight without food, and he must solve the food problem.

At this time, he remembered Qin Mu's two plans. Since the crossing of the river was so smooth and did not lose a single soldier, then it was better to implement the two plans together.

He sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to the south along the Grand Canal to grab grain, and more than 30,000 people stayed behind to attack Runzhou.

The people outside Runzhou City unexpectedly became unlucky, and the little food stored at home was all collected by Gao Yu.

Before the battle began, the people were already suffering. As a result, many people had to choose the only way - to become bandits. If you rob me, I will rob me.

The situation in Jiangnan quickly began to deteriorate.

There are many bandits in Taihu Lake, and a large part of them are bandits for this reason.

The oppression of the imperial court was too harsh, and the people could not survive anymore, so they could only run away to be bandits.

Pangolin is the former Suzhou people, his father is still a famous craftsman in the city, but it is precisely because his father has outstanding craftsmanship and makes good things that he hates the most when he is squeezed - your things are the best, of course, you want yours.

If you buy and sell normally, this can only make the Panshan Leopard's family richer and richer, but the key is that Zhao Ji does not play conventional, not high-end.

He wanted to spend no money and more good things, so this job was handed over to Zhu Mian.

For Zhu Mian, this is a simple matter. Your stuff is good, I like it. I like it to the emperor, rush into your door, cover the yellow cloth, and this thing will belong to the emperor.

And that's not all. The things are returned to the emperor, and the things will be returned to you for safekeeping until the emperor sends someone to transport them away. You can't break it yet, it's your sin to break it, you will have to suffer a lawsuit, and you may even lose your head.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. The pangolin's father is capable, so he has a lot of responsibilities to resist. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to the cell and lost his life.

So the pangolin leopard decisively drilled into Taihu Lake and became a bandit.

Poor literature and rich martial arts, that is, if a person wants to practice martial arts, his family has to have some money. How can you practice martial arts if you don't have money to eat or eat - drinking cold water doesn't grow muscles.

Panshan Leopard's family turned out to be relatively wealthy, so he practiced a good martial arts.

After coming to Taihu Lake, Panshan Leopard quickly turned a group of small bandits into big bandits with his kung fu. Now he is the boss of the "Three Heroes of Taihu Lake".

Of course, this Taihu Lake Sanjie is also a bandit self-styled. The common people do not think that the bandits are outstanding young people.

Suzhou City has recently changed the head of the city to change the banner of the king, which was originally the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and then Zhang Guo, and now it has been replaced by the Guards Regiment.

This frequency is a little bit faster.

When the Heavenly Division Army took Suzhou, the Taihu bandits were a little more honest for a few days, and they wanted to see the limelight.

But I didn't expect that the Heavenly Master Army didn't last long, and Suzhou City changed its owner again.

I heard that he is now the head of the Guards Regiment.

This gave the bandits a smell of troubled times. The emperor takes turns to do it, and tomorrow he will come to my house. Looking at this, is it time for us to sit in the world in the next wave?

It is true that the local regime in Jiangnan has changed too quickly, and the speed is a little unacceptable.

The slow rhythm of the agricultural era was suddenly disrupted.

The bandits' hearts are also in turmoil. They are like grass growing in their hearts, and they are soft and breed thoughts that they should never have.

Today, the leopard is scattered all over the heroes, and all the bandits of all sizes have been recruited to his lair - Dongting Mountain.

As for why there is a Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, I don't know, but there is indeed such a mountain, which is quite large—in this time and space.

Xiao Liudian and Cai Jinhua were also invited.

They came to Dongting Mountain and walked to the Water Curtain Cave.

I saw a waterfall pouring down, covering half of the hole. The pangolin leopard is greeting each other at the entrance of the cave.

Little Six walked forward, pointed to the waterfall and said, "Leopard, when did you come up with such a thing?" ”

He hadn't seen this waterfall before.

"Little Liu, you are wrong to blame your brother. I didn't make this waterfall, it was raining heavily a while ago, and then suddenly there was such a waterfall. ”

The pangolin, of course, is not telling the truth. This waterfall did not come out of the rain at all, but he made it himself. There was a stream on the mountain, and he was a good craftsman, so he led a stream with his men and made such a waterfall.

"A white rainbow rises, and thousands of snow waves fly. The sea breeze blows constantly, and the river and the moon are still shining. The air conditioner is green, and the afterflow is moist and green. The waterfall is like a curtain. Cai Jinhua looked at the waterfall and read a poem leisurely.

The pangolin leopard laughed and said, "Sister, have you also seen Journey to the West?" This is a poem in "Journey to the West".

Cai Jinhua smiled: "Brother Leopard, if there is no water curtain cave, where did the Monkey King come from?" ”

They are all people who understand, don't play with me. You made a water curtain hole out, didn't you want to be the Monkey King?

The bandits and bandits gathered one after another, and the pan-mountain leopard set up dozens of tables in the water curtain hole, greeting them with good wine and food.

This water curtain cave was originally not called the water curtain cave. The scenery of Dongting Mountain is beautiful, there are many caves in the mountain, some caves are very large, and the sunlight can shine in, which is more suitable for people to live.

Pangolins occupy one of the best caves. Recently, he saw "Journey to the West", so according to the description in the book, he renovated his cave mansion, made a waterfall, hung a card, and wrote three big characters "Water Curtain Cave".

There is a water curtain cave in Huaguo Mountain, and Dongting Mountain may not be impossible.

Huaguo Mountain has monkeys, and Dongting Mountain can also have monkeys.

However, for the sake of this name, the pangolin leopard thought about it for a long time and did not make up his mind. Monkey King is very good, but he can't steal it, it's not that it's too shameless, but it's not very convincing to the public - he is not a monkey.

If it is called Monkey King, it is a bit vulgar and not elegant enough.

He thought about it and felt that it was not good to call Qi Tian anything, so he would simply call him the Leopard King - corresponding to the Monkey King. Anyway, I'm not ugly myself - this is also true, the pangolin leopard is indeed a talent.

It's a pity that he is greedy for money and not lustful. Otherwise, there is no need to rob it, many big girls and little daughters-in-law will stick to him upside down.

Seeing that everyone's eating and drinking was over, the pangolin leopard began to speak.

"Those who are husband of heaven and earth are also the rebels of all things; Those who have passed through time are also passers-by for hundreds of generations. And floating like a dream, for joy? "Although the pangolin leopard is a martial artist, it is literate in reading.

The scribe's shirt he wears on weekdays is simply incompatible with the bandit name of the pangolin.

The pangolin opened its mouth, and it was the only one who heard it, and the big and small bandits were all in pain.

"Leopard, you can spare everyone. If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, let it go. "Xiao Liudian couldn't understand the words of the pangolin.

This is the opening sentence of Li Bai's "Spring Night Banquet Peach and Plum Garden Preface", and Xiao Liudian naturally can't understand it.

"Uneducated!" Cai Jinhua looked disdainful of Xiao Liudian. She loves women, and Xiao Liudian will only spoil women, so Cai Jinhua hates Xiao Liudian very much. It's just that the forces of the two sides are equal, and no one can help the other.

"You goblin, you are neither male nor female, you are knowledgeable, tell everyone what the leopard said." Xiao Liudian can't get used to Cai Jinhua. This female thief is beautiful, but she can't get it herself, which makes him very angry.

"Brother Leopard means that he wants to do big things, and being a bandit is not enjoyable." Cai Jinhua broke the mind of the leopard in one mouth.

"Hehe, what Sister Jinhua said, it's not my beautiful leopard king's mind alone, isn't it?"

"Between the world and the world, but in just a few decades, why can't you let yourself live happily according to your own ideas?" Cai Jinhua did not express her position directly, but said to herself: "That Heavenly Empress is also a woman. What she does, I can't do. ”

Now the big and small bandits all understand. It turned out that Cai Jinhua wanted to be Wu Zetian and the empress. So don't ask, what the pangolin said just now means that he himself wants to be the emperor?

That's a bit of an exaggeration. We're bandits! It's 108,000 miles away from the emperor.

"I said you guys were talking." The largest of the Taihu bandits is Sangu, Xiao Liudian, Panshan Leopard, and Cai Jinhua. Among them, the pangolin leopard is the most powerful, followed by the small six points. Little Six completely disagrees with the ideals of those two.

"Little Liu, we can discuss this matter."

"It's a fart." Xiao Liu didn't save face for the pangolin leopard: "Leopard, you didn't go to that Suzhou City." The city wall is so high, if you don't go through the city gate, you can fight Suzhou with this little person, can you get in? ”

Little Six has a clear understanding of himself. It's okay to be a bandit, pull the flag and rebel, you don't have that ability.

"Suzhou City has now changed owners. I heard that it was a militia group, called the Guards Regiment, which occupied Suzhou. Could it be that you and I can't even compare to a militia group? "The pangolin did not back down.

A person who has the ambition to become an emperor will never be deterred by the opposition of a bandit.

The capture of Suzhou by the Guards Regiment gave the Pangolin great courage. Before, Suzhou was occupied by the official army, and he did not dare to fight. Later, it was occupied by the Heavenly Division Army, and the Heavenly Division Army was another piece of clothing of Zhengyi, Zhengyi was powerful, and the Panshan Leopard could not compare.

But it didn't come to pass, and the Heavenly Master Army was beaten away by the Guards Regiment. And the Guards Regiment is nothing more than a militia regiment. Such a militia can be said to be available in slightly larger villages in the Great Song Dynasty.

This is a group of peasants huddling together to keep warm, they can fight a single bandit, and when they encounter a large group of bandits, the militia has no effect. Those who dare to gather a crowd to be bandits are more courageous than the peasants.

Now the militia has beaten away the Heavenly Master Army, which gives the Panshan Leopard a wrong understanding. It's just that the Heavenly Master and the disciples have their appearance, and they are completely useless.

Of course, the government is even more inadequate now.

The pangolin now has a chain of contempt in his heart. I can fight the militia group, the militia can fight the Heavenly Division Army, and the Heavenly Division Army can beat the official army. In this way, the pangolin found himself the most powerful person in the world.

Then what are you waiting for the emperor.

So he was going to take Suzhou immediately. With Suzhou as a base, you can fight Jinling in Runzhou to the north, swallow the territory of the Heavenly Master Army, and occupy half of the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty.

In this way, at least you can confront the Great Song Dynasty across the river and divide the world into two parts. Compared with this Dongting Mountain Water Curtain Cave, of course, half of the rivers and mountains are attractive.

It's just that if he wants to raise troops to fight the world, his own people are not enough. At the very least, we need to bring in two other outstanding young people.

Xiao Liudian and Cai Jinhua are the objects he strives for.

But there are many good things. Xiao Liudian obviously didn't want to follow him. Cai Jinhua wants to do it, but she wants to be the emperor herself. To be the empress of the world.

Alas, it seems that it is really difficult to accomplish something big!
