"Then have you thought about it now, whether to enter the rivers and lakes or to fight on the battlefield?" Yang Fan looked at Chen Wangting and admired his skills, if he was in the army, he would definitely be promoted quickly.

Chen Wangting looked at Yang Fan and said, "I want to follow the lord, I wonder if you can look down on my skills?" "After entering the battlefield, after all, he is still unknown. Which man doesn't want to be famous, but how many people can be admired by thousands of people in the end, unparalleled in the world? It's pitiful. The generals Huo Qubing and Wei Qing amazed the entire Han Dynasty, and how many generals are there behind them, who are well-known? One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, not to say.

After death, I am famous, but I am not alive well, but I always think about my reputation after death. Some are ridiculous, some are just lamentable. Chen Wangting can see it clearly, rather than mixing the rivers and lakes and fighting on the battlefield, it is better to be by Yang Fan's side. He is not a stupid person, he is a brocade cloth and a thousand households, and he is also sent by Yang Fan, even the children of officials and eunuchs like Sun Yi and Li Yuhuan have a lot of respect for him, so why should he be willing to seek the near and far?

"With me? You've figured it out. Yang Fan naturally has no reason to refuse such a master, "I can't give you an official and a knight, but with my Yang Fan to eat, I will definitely not be hungry for you Chen Wangting." For such a master who can rescue in the dark night without knowing it, and has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, Yang Fan will naturally not be in the way.

Chen Wangting let out a long laugh and said, "Have you already sold yourself to the lord?" ”

Yang Fan smiled indifferently and turned the Spring and Autumn Broadsword, "I won't give silver." ”

"Haha." The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

The rivers and lakes are like a net, and grievances are involved. It always pulls together. A camp in Jinzhou was approaching to fall, and many defenders were carrying spears. Walk to the camp. The autumn breeze is not cool, but depressed. After the Battle of the Daling River, the wild boar skins were slightly reined in, but small-scale clashes still occurred occasionally. Today you ambush a few squads, and tomorrow I kill a few sentinels, all of them are petty fights. The Dongjiang Army in southern Liaoning can be regarded as the last strong force of the Ming Dynasty.

The ten people behind the scholar in Tsing Yi carried a hat. Stood silently on the edge of the box. After a while, several horses flew in. The ten brocade-clothed guards raised their hats slightly and looked at the iron-clad general. Someone came to interrogate carefully. The scholar in Tsing Yi answered them one by one, and then handed over the token in his hand.

The horseback general looked at the token, nodded, and then glanced at the ten people with hats behind the Tsing Yi scholar. The fox said suspiciously: "You few." What to do with a hat! ”

The scholar in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said: "General, forgive me, these people have other things to do, and it is inconvenient to show up, so ......" The person immediately frowned and shouted: "What else is the matter?" ”

The scholar in Tsing Yi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Come here in the next few trips." It was all General Hou who answered. This time, the helmsman said that there was a deal. I want to share a piece of the pie with the generals in Jinzhou, and I specially ordered to discuss it with you. ”

"Oh? Why didn't you talk about it? ”

The scholar in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "I said it below, it's just that the helmsman wants to do business with the generals." General Hou also knows that every trip over the years, the general can't get this amount, but this time the helmsman gave the generals double this number, so ......"

General Mustache rolled his eyes, his heart pounded, and said, "What business?" Lao Yanxi has to share with a few people in our Golden State in order to be able to eat? If it works, I, Hou Yong, will eat it alone. "Today's sentry is Hou Yong's henchmen, and there is no one at the gate of this camp. At night, the boar skins would send someone over to trade in firearms.

The scholar in Tsing Yi stepped forward and motioned for Hou Yong to come closer. Hou Yong tugged at the belt on his stomach and leaned down. The scholar in Tsing Yi whispered a few words in his ear. Hearing this, Hou Yong's breathing became anxious, Le Ma turned over, grabbed the shoulder of the scholar in Tsing Yi, and said, "Is this true? ”

"How many dares do you dare to deceive the general?"

Hou Yong made up his mind, let go of the scholar in Tsing Yi, and snorted coldly: "I don't dare to forgive you." I really can't eat such a list. Just do what Lao Yanxi said. I'll send someone to inform the informant in Golden State tonight, and there will be no hindrance to you. ”

"Thank you, General!"

Hou Yong patted the Tsing Yi scholar on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank me for what?" Just make money. Alas, what's the matter with the wound on your face? With the light on his back just now, Hou Yong didn't see the face of the scholar in Tsing Yi clearly, but this time he took a closer look and asked.

The scholar in Tsing Yi covered it with his hand, smiled innocently, and said, "Oh, this injury." If you say it, I'm afraid that the general will laugh at it, so I still don't say it. ”

"How?" Hou Yong's face changed and asked.

"The girls in Dengzhou City were arrested, generals, they are all men, you know." The scholar in Tsing Yi said nonsense. Hou Yong looked up to the sky and smiled, patted the Tsing Yi scholar on the shoulder, and said, "You, this thin bamboo pole body, aren't you afraid that those mothers-in-law will suck you dry?" Haha, scratch your face this time, just don't hurt your waist next time. Wait here for a while, and someone will come and pick you up later." ”

"Then I'll be tired of the general." The scholar in Tsing Yi bowed.

Hou Yong got on his horse and left slowly.

The setting sun sprinkled on this camp, and war and peace were blended at this moment. Jinyiwei, who was standing behind the scholar in Tsing Yi, raised his head and muttered: "Jinzhou Qianhu, Hou Yong." ”

……

It doesn't rain in April, it doesn't get wet in May, the riverbed is dry in June, the dragon king goes away in July, the fish rolls its eyes in August, and in September, the dragon king hasn't returned. There was no harvest, and the whole Shanxi became a baked bun, so shriveled that the water could not be squeezed out. The fighting in Shaanxi had just subsided last year, but the peasant uprising had spread to Shanxi.

Zhang Chenji, the imperial historian, wrote to the imperial court and said: "The thieves are from Shaanxi. Cao Wenzhao, a general in Shaanxi, was famous, and the gentry and common people made up songs and ballads for him, saying: "There is a Cao in the army, and the western thief is afraid when he hears it." Moreover, he had made meritorious contributions in Shanxi, and the thieves in Shaanxi had been wiped out, so he should be ordered to enter Shanxi to help encircle and suppress the thieves. So the imperial court ordered the generals of Shanxi and Shaanxi to be under the command of Cao Wenzhao.

It's still okay for the imperial army to beat mud legs. Taiyuan's mud legs were pacified in less than two months. Next, it is to move troops to fight. At this time, Li Zicheng had not yet become a climate, so he was naturally not an opponent of the imperial court. How can the peasant army win, ten to one, with a huge advantage in numbers, to win the army of the imperial court. When he was in Shanxi, he occupied the mountains one by one, with a small number of 5,000 people, and a large number of more than 10,000 people.

It doesn't matter if you are the king of the mixed world, or the rolling dragon, the name is so domineering, but are you really a god descending to earth? Die like this, and those who are driven to run still have to run. The two spies of Jinyiwei went separately when they arrived at Taiyuan Mansion.

Taiyuan Mansion, the county town is in charge of the troubled times, it is still peaceful and clear, and the Jin merchants who should do business are still open to do business. Compared with mud legs, the merchants still have a better impression of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Although on weekdays, there must always be a little bit of silver money for filial piety and dotting, but at least they won't rob it.

As soon as the mud legs came to Taiyuan City, they were like bandits. When you see good things, you grab them, and when you see the big girl, you take them captive, these years, rebellion is a last resort, but it has become a habit to have to do it, that's natural, and then some demon kings of the mixed world, wherever they go, grab it, and no one even thinks that doing this will spread the suffering. Those bandits who thought they were doing the same thing as bandits in the north could not please them in the north, so they gradually retreated to the south.

The imperial army, also led by Cao Wenzhao, pursued southward, preparing to exterminate this peasant army in Henan. The war in Shanxi gradually subsided, and the Central Plains seemed to be like a honeycomb, full of holes. There was a rebellion here, a rebellion there, and the imperial army had to hold the Shanhaiguan Pass on the one hand, and suppress the rebellion on the other. However, natural disasters continued, except for a little stability in the south, the entire Ming Dynasty has begun to shake.

Taiyuan County, which survived the catastrophe, got a little respite. In September, the Green Gang came to a big business. It's not an official family, but it's a piece of fat, the kind that is so fat that it is oily, and it is undoubtedly a piece of fat for the Green Gang, which has just been yellowed for several months.

It's just that whether you want to get it or not depends on your ability. (To be continued......)
