The thieves army has been in chaos at this time, the people have not eaten for a day, the road can not walk, they throw away hoes, sticks, sit on the ground and guard their mother-in-law, baby, everything is left to fate, the thieves are in a hurry to run around, the Ming army found that the wind direction has changed greatly, immediately the courage doubled, Yan Sui iron cavalry let go of his hands and feet to bravely intercept and kill the fleeing enemy, like a wall blocking the escape of the thieves, the foot soldiers also rushed out of the queue, and killed the thieves in a hurry, Cao Wenzhao They fought with the thieves exhausted, I could only gasp and watch as my officers and soldiers bravely killed thieves, the battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse, and the heroic officers and soldiers mercilessly suppressed the rebellious homeless, cut off their heads, robbed their belongings, and humiliated their women.

The Fengzhou infantry army is still slowly advancing in a step formation, some of the ruffians in the army are a little impatient, and they also want to go up to fish in troubled waters, Zhang Chuanjie kept issuing warnings, the commander has arrived, the "seven killing orders" of the Fengzhou army are not decorations, whoever wants to die will try it, which scares these guys who have bad ideas.

"Lao Hou, you have always bragged that the world's heroes came out of Yulin, how can you be so virtuous, fight in war, and bully the people." Manzhu sarcastically said disdainfully.

Hou Shijie blushed, bowed his head and muttered: "Our Yulin soldiers can fight, it wasn't like this before, it's all because the court doesn't pay salaries, and everyone is poor and faint." ”

"Say less! We're here as guests, just take care of ourselves. Zhang Chuanjie whispered to the two of them to shut up.

The bandits among the thieves are still fighting, Miao Mei and Feishan Tiger with hundreds of elites collided head-on with Li Yu's Flying Tiger Rider, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the thieves are vulnerable in front of the Iron Cavalry, they almost have no armor, and they fell one by one in the dense rain of arrows shot by the Flying Tiger Rider, and the Flying Mountain Tiger who was born as a swordsman was hit by several arrows, roaring loudly "Kill the dog officer", and swung the knife straight at Li Yu, Mo Rige did not wait for him to approach, and an arrow pierced his throat.

Li Yu shook his head, and the horse slowly came to a snowy field lying on the corpses of the thieves, and quietly watched Miao Mei, who was covered in blood, struggle to get up from the ground.

"You are a thief, you may still be a big boss, although you are thieves, you are very brave, surrender, I will let you live." Li Yu said expressionlessly.

"We are not thieves, we are righteous soldiers who do the right thing for heaven, Emperor Ming is the head of the thief, you dog officials are thieves, I will not surrender." Miao Mei replied by trying to straighten his back, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed, slamming the arrow stuck in his chest into his chest.

Li Yu paused, jumped off the horse and walked to Miao Mei's corpse, slowly closed Miao Mei's open eyes, he thought for a while about the difference between the thief and the rebel, but he didn't understand, sighed and got back on the horse, at this time there was a sudden call for help from the southwest, and Li Yu led the Flying Tiger to continue to kill.

Zhang Ding ran headlong into Kubai, Zabutu's rear camp cavalry, both sides are elite cavalry, armor, bows and arrows and knives and spears are all available, after shooting each other's bows and arrows, they hit together, Zabutu took the lead in rushing to the other party's leader Zhang Ding, Zhang Ding is the boss of the northwest horse thieves, excellent martial arts, a few knives down as fast as lightning, cut Zabutu's helmet flying, Zabutu went crazy, and Zhang Ding played with his life, Kubai saw that the other party was obviously superior in numbers, and the horses and equipment were well-equipped, which was not something that he could bear with these five hundred people, Immediately ordered to shrink the formation, and used the cavalry shot that he is good at to entangle the opponent, while calling for support from his teammates around him.

Kubai's method worked, Zhang Ding was stalked by him and couldn't get out, Qiu Xian's left battalion and Terig's right battalion soon arrived, and the third battalion of Fengzhou iron cavalry tightly surrounded Zhang Ding's 800 iron cavalry, this time Zhang Ding could not escape. But then it was a farce, Zhang Ding once took Xiao Sigui, Bao Rongge and a group of his subordinates and Fengzhou people to fight bloody battles against the Chahar people, this love Fengzhou people will not forget, no one will be embarrassed to help their friends, the two sides fought giggle, Qiu Xian, Terig and Borshu also surrounded Zhang Ding, Xiao Sigui while fighting and laughing.

"Fluttering the Sky Eagle, Xiao Laosi, hey, why is Bao Rongge not here? Forget about him, you guys join us together, the mountain tigers are all on our side, and the brothers can't forget you. ”

"That's it, Fengzhou has food now, it's much better than you here, come with us, brothers, it's good to eat and drink spicy food together."

"I don't agree, we used to be the official army of the Ming Dynasty, but now we have become thieves, you guys are good, in the past, we were Saiwaiyi people, but we became officials and soldiers, and they came to beat us, what is going on!" Xiao Sigui protested loudly.

"Little White Wolf, Borshu, and you Terig, if you are brothers, get out of the way, and everyone will go their own way." Zhang Ding was also shouting.

"Don't be in a hurry to go, think about it first, Yuzi is now our commander, and there is a gust of wind, so we have to meet, you see they are coming." Qiu Xianle responded.

Li Yu arrived with the Flying Tiger Battalion, Meng Ke ran over with Pegasus first, hugged Zhang Ding and shouted: "Fighting the Sky Eagle, you are still a good person in the line of horse thieves, I want to kill you with a gust of wind, Xiao Laosi, you are also here, great, let me hug me too." ”

"A gust of wind, get your stinky mouth away." Xiao Sigui wanted to hide when he saw Meng Ke.

Li Yu excitedly came to Zhang Ding and stretched out his arms forward: "Brother Zhang, I can be regarded as seeing you, I am afraid that something will happen to you." ”

"You are also a lackey for the imperial court, how big an official did they give you, so that you can come here from thousands of miles away from the border of Datong to kill the people, you are really a loyal minister and a good general of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Ding coldly rejected Li Yu.

"I didn't kill people, I wanted to help them, but I couldn't think of a way."

"You didn't kill the people, how did the people lying on the ground die, they are just poor people who want to live, and they will be satisfied if they are fed, but what your emperor and the court have done to them, you are the knife they use to kill people."

Li Yu lowered his head in shame, Zhang Ding waved his hand and said sharply: "Do you want to be a slave to the imperial court to be promoted and make a fortune, I will pass in front of you now, I want to see if you dare to kill me, Sigui, let's go." ”

Zhang Ding, Xiao Sigui and those rebellious horsemen raised their heads and walked in front of Li Yu one after another, Li Yu lowered his head and did not dare to speak, Fengzhou Iron Cavalry involuntarily flashed a passage for them, Zhang Ding walked a few steps and stopped, and said without looking back: "The Ming Dynasty is a piece of rotten meat with a stench, it has rotted, you don't want to rely on it to help the people, you can do it yourself!" ”

Zhang Ding walked away, Huaining's battle was over, and when Sun Shoufa and Cao Bianjiao led people to rush into the thief army, Wang Zuohang had already hung up the flag of surrender and surrendered with a large group of big and small leaders. Du Wenhuan won a great victory, annihilated 50,000 thieves, and the nerves that had been tense for a few days could finally be relaxed, and ordered Li Huai and Du Hongtai to draft a document to report the victory to Yulin, and he took his own soldiers out to inspect - the military discipline of the Ming army was scattered, and it was common to kill good people and bully the people, and he could always make the rotten soldiers restrain a little.

There was still a light snow in the sky, and there was a chaotic scene all around, and the captured young men had begun to clean up the corpses on the ground under the supervision of the officers and soldiers, and it would not be long before the blood-stained earth would be covered with snow and clean again.

Du Wenhuan saw Zhang Xianzhong, he and the remaining Qingjian young men were hiding behind a few ruined walls, one by one they were shivering with cold, after this battle, they only had these five or six hundred people left, and the tears had already dried up, and no one knew what to do in the future.

"You're not bad!" Du Wenhuan coldly spit out a few words at Zhang Xianzhong, took a cloth bag from the hands of the soldiers behind him, threw it in front of Zhang Xianzhong, and then walked away without looking back, Zhang Xianzhong sat on the snow, looked at the silver under his feet coldly, but did not touch it.

Du Wenhuan arrived in front of the camp of the Fengzhou Army, and saw that several cauldrons had been set up in front of the camp gate, Li Yu was busy with some soldiers, and the common people were also lining up, looking at the steaming gruel in the pot, waiting eagerly.

"How much grain do you have? There are more than 40,000 people here, how many can you save? Give everyone to Huaining County and let them take care of it. Du Wenhuan got off the horse and said coldly to Li Yu.

"Dashuai, I went to Huaining City and asked, they don't care about these strangers, I can't watch them starve to death, I have been hungry, I know what it is like to starve, save one and count one."

Du Wenhuan stared at Li Yu for a while, sighed and said, "Forget it, I still have some food in my camp, you can send someone to get some." ”

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, I used to think that we were only bitter outside the border, but after entering the customs, I knew that the people inside the customs were even more bitter, the Ming Dynasty was rich and rich in the world, and these people would not rebel as long as they had food to eat, why didn't the imperial court give them relief, but forced them to pay grain and taxes, Dashuai, can you tell me how I can help them?" ”

"We are military generals, just do our own thing, we can't manage these things, we can't manage them, I tell you, the northwest is a dead end, you and I can't help these people." Du Wenhuan was a little impatient.

"Then let these ordinary people die, is there any reason for this? The emperor and the court must not know what is going on here, Dashuai, let's report everything here to the court, I have seen the emperor in Beijing, he is very young and kind, and he will definitely save the people. Li Yu was a little excited.

"Stupid, do you think the emperor and the courtiers don't know? They know everything, what they want to save is themselves, you will die of this heart," Du Wen was angry, and when he looked up and saw the red Ming battle flag on the camp gate, he shouted angrily: "Who told you to hang the banner of the Ming Dynasty, take it off for me immediately, hang your black eagle flag, and hang it a little higher." ”

After the war, the Ming army rested on the spot, and since the Fengzhou army entered the customs, there were several major battles, the casualties were not large, and the loss before and after was less than 200 people, but it was too tired, and it was not bad to rest for a few days, but Li Yu's porridge factory could not go on, and everyone had no food to eat again, but fortunately, Du Wenhuan forced Huaining Zhixian to take out some food, and Li Yu finally did not fall to the point of starvation.

Li Huai and Du Hongtai have been following Du Shuai to deal with confidential documents, and suddenly they came over and dragged Li Yu to see Du Wenhuan - Li Yu and Du Wenhuan quarreled and have been avoiding him for the past few days. When Li Yu arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, there were tables, chairs and benches in front of the tent, wine, meat and food were also placed on the table, and several major officers and generals were there.

Cao Wenzhao dragged Li Yu to his table, and sat down with Li Yu before saying, Dashuai is in a good mood today, and specially invited Wang Zuohang and his party to have a meal, and by the way, to appease them, we can also have a big meal.

When the meal was about to be served, Du Wenhuan came out and said to Wang Zuohang and his gang, you used to gather people to oppose the imperial court, so that the lives were ruined and the place was rotten, which is a crime that cannot be forgiven, and it should have been handed over to the government to be severely punished in accordance with the "Da Ming Law", but you can take the initiative to surrender to the officials and soldiers, which shows that you still have the heart of repentance, the emperor has already had a will, the great drought in the northwest is really a disaster from heaven, although the people are dull and ignorant, they also belong to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and those who are willing to be recruited should be released to the township and allow them to make a living, and the governor has repeatedly ordered the local state government to appease the displaced people, Those who are thieves will be exempted from all crimes, and if you are fortunate enough to live, you should repay your kindness and serve the court, and do not commit any more troubles.

The leaders of the thieves knelt on the ground to thank the emperor for his grace, and swore that they would never dare to have half-heartedness, Du Wenhuan waved his hand very tolerantly to let everyone get up, and told everyone to believe in the emperor and the court, and now the emperor not only works hard to reform the government, but also severely punishes corrupt officials and considerate of the people, with such a wise emperor, everyone's life will be better, Wang Zuohang was so excited that he burst into tears, and took the lead in shouting long live, and the big red wolf also patted his chest and promised not to rebel in the future.

The banquet was held in a warm atmosphere, and the leaders of the thieves all said that they would listen to the words of the court and be good citizens with good rules, and Du Wenhuan repeatedly advised everyone to drink well and eat well. When the meal was almost finished, Du Wenhuan smiled and asked everyone if they were full, and everyone replied in unison that they had eaten well, and then Du Wenhuan slowly got up and made a final speech.

"Now that you've eaten everything, it's time for Ben Shuai to send you on your way, come on, tie up these damn thieves and pull them out and behead them, a bunch of capricious thieves!" Du Wenhuan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted.

Li Yu was startled, stood up and was about to speak, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly held him down and warned in a low voice: "Hanmin, don't come nonsense, everything is arranged by the marshal." ”

The soldiers of the Ming army rushed from all sides, and tied up the leader of the regressive thieves, the leaders were scared awake, shouting and scolding and struggling, the big red wolf had the strength, broke free from the officers and soldiers behind him, and yelled "Dog officer, Lao Tzu fought with you", and pounced towards Du Wenhuan, Du Wenhuan sneered and waved his hand, and the tall soldiers behind him rushed up and kicked the big red wolf away, and before anyone landed, Du Hongfang cut off his head with a knife.

"Old thief Du, you lie to Lao Tzu, you can't die well!" Wang Zuohang and the others scolded and were pushed out, and after a while, more than ninety heads were piled up in front of Du Wenhuan.

"Dashuai, why did you kill them, they have already descended, and you said that they were forgiven." Li Yu couldn't help it, and rushed to Du Wenhuan and shouted.

"Bastard, you dare to roar at me," Du Wenhuan was furious, slapped Li Yu in the face, pointed to the head on the ground and said loudly, "I hate you the most for being a good person, today I want you to see with your own eyes how to kill people, you think that the people who rebel are the people who can't afford to eat, you are wrong, the honest people can't make it, these guys are doing evil, do you know who they are?" It is a bandit, a swordsman, a soldier and a bully in the market, they hold the people hostage and rebel, but they want to exchange the blood of the people for their future glory and wealth, they deserve to die like the dog officials of the Ming Dynasty, this is the troubled times, and it is also the most rampant time for the wicked, they are gambling, and if they lose, let the people give them a funeral, and if they win, they will be called the king and continue to ride on the necks of the people to do evil, you even have pity on these bastards, how to survive in the troubled times in the future? ”

Li Yu's tears flowed out, he lowered his head, Cao Wenzhao came over and patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Hanmin, we all know that you have a good temperament, and everyone likes you, but the heart of this world is sinister, you will suffer like this, Dashuai's words are really for your good." ”

"He has to go by himself, let him think about it, we will leave for Yulin tomorrow, and the governor also wants to see him" Du Wenhuan waved his hand, glanced at Li Yu again and said, "Don't think that the commander killed them on his own initiative, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, and Li Yingqi, the governor of Shaanxi, also wrote to say this." ”

Cao Wenzhao and Du Hongfang pulled Li Yu away, Li Huai and Du Hongtai glanced at each other, just now the big handsome was furious and scared the two of them, Du Shuai is full of poetry and books and is known as a Confucian general, so it is rare to be angry.

"Uncle, are you too much to Yuzi like this, he is still young!" Du Hongtai mustered up the courage and whispered.

"I treat him as my own son and nephew, this is the year of tiger and wolf fighting, and if he is not ruthless, he can't become the climate, I really hope that he will grow up early," Du Wenhuan finished speaking, staring at Li Huai and Du Wenhuan and shouting, "Haven't you two grown up either?" I sent you to him, and what did you teach him? Don't teach him any more useless bullshit moral articles in the future. ”

Li Huai and Du Hongtai are very aggrieved, Li Yu has never studied seriously, how can it be their turn to teach, this kid is born with this virtue, Du Wenhuan ignored them, and waved them to retreat.

"Little Sun, come in." Du Wenhuan shouted outside the door, Sun Shoufa has been probing his brain outside the door for a long time, probably something important.

"Dashuai, I don't want to do the Suide garrison, let me go to the border with Vice General Li," Sun Shoufa lowered his head and was a little cramped and uneasy, and explained in a low voice, "Our Yulin Town has changed, and it is my own villagers who kill and kill, and those who are soldiers don't want to fight, this day is too aggrieved, I want to change my way of living, Vice General Li said that I will give a cavalry battalion when I go, I still want to be a cavalry." ”

Du Wenhuan pondered for a while, and replied to his old subordinates: "I can say to the General Military Mansion that you will be given the lack of garrison, but you have to think about it, the officials there will be promoted quickly, but Datong Town doesn't care about their military salaries, and your life will definitely be more difficult than that in Guannei." ”

Sun Shoufa said firmly: "I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I will immediately seek the fame of being a soldier since ancient times, and I will admit it no matter how hard it is." ”
