Chapter 797: In Guyuan City

Originally, in history, He Renlong, as a general of the official army, once let go of He Yilong without permission in the process of leading the army to chase and suppress the thieves, and the reason behind it was because they had the same righteousness.

He Renlong later fought with Hong Chengchou, Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting and others because of his efforts to suppress thieves, and was promoted to the chief military officer all the way, but in the end, he was arrested and beheaded by Sun Chuanting.

There are many charges against him, one of which is that he once let go of Ge Li He Yilong without permission.

What does this mean?

It shows that there is indeed some kind of connection between He Yilong and the He family, a family of Yulin Weijiangmen, and it should be a branch of the He family.

Since He Yilong has such a background, if you ask him to pretend that he is not a Han Chinese, but a member of the party, or some other kind of Northwest miscellaneous beard, even if you kill him, he can't do this kind of thing.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, most of those gangs and gangs who were born in the northwest have been fighting against the Manchus, which also shows that although they rebelled and rebelled, they were not traitors.

Compared with the scholars who later descended to the Qing Dynasty on a large scale, this kind of thief leader who was born as a peddler and pawn was much more backbone when the Han people died in the world.

Of course, it is precisely because of this temperament that after He Yilong and He Jin entered Guyuan City, not only did the team under their command not grow, but many old brothers who had followed them around also complained about the two.

These thieves, who once killed their compatriots, were no softer than the foreign races, and when they saw that there were only Mu Subarians in Guyuan City, and the Han people were killed, everyone was angry in their hearts.

Originally, the thieves, horse thieves, and thieves who did not have any national concept of family and country, but at this time, they had a little awakening of national consciousness.

This truth seems to be like, we can kill the Han people all over the world, but you can't kill them.

seems to say, this old Zhu family's court, we can rebel, but you Mu Suman can't be damn if he rebels.

Including He Jin, who has always killed people without blinking, and later became known as the King of Zuojin, since he entered Guyuan City, such thoughts have also popped up in his heart from time to time.

He himself couldn't tell what the reason for this thought came from, but this thought just appeared in his heart and lingered.

Because he and He Yilong, as well as the Han thieves under their command, soon after entering Guyuan City, they found that they were different from the white-hat wooden speed barbarians who were washed by Poxi Mu.

Those people did not eat pork, and at certain times, they had to follow the call of the old imam and go to the temples of worship scattered throughout the city.

Such a person is obviously not the same kind of person compared to the thieves under their command who drink and eat meat and never have any taboos and beliefs!

Although He Jin and He Yilong, the two leaders of the thieves, do not have any consciousness that they are not of our race and their hearts must be different, these two people are still very clear about the hostility between their brothers and the Musu barbarians under the command of Po Ximu.

If it weren't for He Yilong and He Jin, who kept in mind the entrustment of King Gao Yingxiang, in order to take into account the overall situation, they seemed to "understand the righteousness", and they had been high-pressure with an iron fist and strictly restrained their subordinates, then I am afraid that they would not be able to wait for the officials and troops in the north to move south, and the two groups of people in Guyuan City would have already fought by themselves.

On the night of April 17, these discordant figures in Guyuan City sat together because the officers and troops of Huamachi moved south.

Po Ximu asked He Yilong and He Jin whether they were fighting or defending, advancing or retreating, and then looked at the two thieves who were silent with an eager face.

After a while, He Yilong spit the coarse tea root that he had been chewing in his mouth on the ground paved with square bricks with a "poof", and then turned his head to look at his old brother He Jin, and said:

"Brother He Jin! Tell me, what do you think? Do we brothers want this Guyuan City or not? ”

He Jin looked at He Yilong, who asked him, and then at Po Ximu, who was staring at him, took a deep breath, and then said:

"King Chuang sent our brothers to Guyuan, just in case that Yuan Manzi in Huamachi suddenly led his army south!

"Yuan Manzi is really here today, if our brothers just pat their butts and leave, I'm afraid that they will return to Pingliang, and King Chuang won't be able to explain it!"

Speaking of this, He Jin thought for a while, looked at He Yilong, and continued: "In the first half of the night, since Brother He has already sent the messenger back to Pingliang, then we might as well wait for a day or two in this Guyuan City, first, to see the limelight of Yuan Manzi, and secondly, to wait for the military order of King Chuang!"

"If Yuan Manzi besieges but does not attack, then we might as well defend it, if King Chuang orders the withdrawal of troops, of course we will obey the order!"

After He Yilong listened to what He Jin said, his face was expressionless, he didn't say a word, just looked at Po Ximu and said, "Brother He Jin's calculations, what do you think?" ”

Po Ximu was born in a family of Guyuan Su barbarian officials, and he never had any common language with the two bandit leaders in front of him.

At the beginning, he created the rebellion of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, and the original plan was that after the imperial court removed Yuan Chonghuan, he took the initiative to put forward a condition to the new governor of the three sides and then led his troops to surrender.

But after waiting and waiting, Yuan Chonghuan turned out to be as stable as Mount Tai, which made him deeply panic.

Although he was in the northwest, he had heard of the imperial court's handling of the Ningyuan Mutiny in Liaodong Town.

All the battalion leaders who participated in the mutiny were revoked and banned, and the rebels who caused the rebellion were killed 11 times, and none of the battalion officers and generals who participated in the mutiny had a good end.

This result is not what he wants.

Therefore, as soon as King Gao Yingxiang entered Pingliang, Po Ximu saw that Zhao'an was hopeless, and immediately chose to take refuge in Gao Yingxiang.

But in his heart, he always had a prejudice against the thieves, and he always felt that this guy couldn't become a big man.

Therefore, although he chose to belong to Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, deep down, he still looked forward to the day when he and his family could be pardoned by the imperial court, and then return to being the hereditary officials of his family.

It is also because of this psychology that for He Yilong and He Jin, who came to Guyuan City one after another, Po Ximu has always maintained a distance that is not far away.

In his heart, he was born in a local family, and he was originally an official who worshipped the official army of the imperial court, so what could he make friends with these two rogue leaders who were born as horse thieves? !

Even if he simply maintained his prestige and status in the Musu Barbarian Army in Guyuan City, he couldn't get too close to these two Han thieves!

In this way, although Po Ximu agreed that Gao Yingxiang sent people to come to assist in the defense, but since He Yilong and He Jin entered Guyuan City with a team of 4,000 thieves, the two groups of people with their own plans or ghosts have been in a state full of hidden hostility towards each other, but they have tried their best not to interfere with the river water.

This time, the officials and troops marched south, and a difficult choice was placed in front of Po Ximu's eyes, and it was time to make a decision that could have been vaguely handled.

Although Yuan Manzi's temper is notoriously smelly and hard, how can he be willing to follow the thief without trying?

That night, in the face of He Yilong's questioning, Po Xi Mu thought about it for a while, and finally said to He Yilong and He Jin:

"At the beginning of the Guyuan Mutiny, someone was pushed to the head, and there is no way back at this time! Since Po has defected to the king, he must do his best to serve! This time, Yuan Manzi led the army to come, and Po Mou should be dominated by two leaders, living and dying with the two leaders, advancing and retreating together! ”

Po Ximu's words were impassioned, which made He Yilong and He Jin, who were originally quite dissatisfied with him, couldn't help but be impressed, but suddenly had a little good feeling.

The fact that the Han people in Guyuan City were massacred made He Yilong and He Jin dissatisfied with Po Ximu and other Mu Suman generals, but it also made the two of them very relieved about Po Ximu and his subordinates.

On the night of April 17, He Yilong and He Jin finally finalized the plan to defend the city and wait for reinforcements, and they decided to hold Guyuan City first, waiting for Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, to send reinforcements, or send a clear order.
