A lot of things happened in December of the second year of Chongzhen, just after the victory of the Guangqu Gate Guard, Emperor Chongzhen put Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ji Liao, to prison, and then caused Zu Dashou to lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to escape to Liaodong, and the remaining four towns Qinwang coalition army was newly defeated, Huang Taiji heard about it, and immediately led the troops who had just retreated to make a comeback. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chongzhen heard that there was another dispute in the court, because Sun Chengzong had not yet arrived in Gyeonggi, Chongzhen added Mangui as a martial arts strategy, commanded the soldiers and horses of the four towns Qinwang, gave him the sword of Shangfang, and urged him to send troops to fight.

Mangui was newly defeated, believing that the Guanning army had been defeated at this time, and it was better to hold on than to take the initiative to attack. But he couldn't withstand the tight urging of the eunuchs sent by Chongzhen. As a last resort, the troops moved to camp two miles away from Yongdingmen to wait for the Houjin army. The Houjin army was strong, surrounded by elite troops on all sides, Mangui was defeated, Mangui and Sun Zushou were killed, and Heiyunlong and Ma Dengyun were captured alive.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been obtained, Huang Taiji left part of his troops to stay in Zunhua, Luanzhou (now Luanxian County, Hebei), Yongping (now Lulong, Hebei), and Qian'an (now Hebei), and led the main force back to the capital Shengjing, and withdrew his troops from the customs.

This is all for later, so I won't mention it for the time being. After Xiao Yi and his entourage left the Beijing Division, the group of people because of the horses given by Lu Xiangsheng, the speed of the road was also fast, only two days to rush to Dafang Mountain, a village at the foot of Dafang Mountain is called Liujiazhuang, there are 54 households in the Wanli years, it is a large village of more than 1,000 people. Now, after years of displacement and fugitive, there are less than 30 households, only a few hundred people, most of whom are old, weak, women and children.

Xiao Yi and his entourage were walking to the entrance of the east of the village, but they saw many people outside the village riding horses and sabers in their hands and swaying back and forth.

Wang Dayong said in a deep voice, "It's not good, there are horse thieves here!" ”

"What? Horse thieves? How much can it be? Shi Gang asked in surprise.

Wang Dayong replied, "There is an unwritten rule among horse thieves that there should be no less than half of the wind watchers, that is, there must be at least thirty or more horse thieves in this gang of horse thieves. ”

Huang Yang and the others looked at Xiao Yi and said, "It seems that these horse thieves are looting the village, we don't care." After that, everyone looked at Xiao Yi, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Yi laughed, pulled out the Qi family knife, and said, "Since we have met, we can't ignore it, brothers, let these horse thieves taste our strength!" Shi Gang yelled and took the lead, "Hey! Boys, follow the old stone and I'll rush in! ”

Then all the people rushed over with a whoa, not a whoa, and a whoa, and a thief who was looking at the wind towards the village.

In Liujiazhuang, Wang Dashan, the leader of the horse thieves, looked at the trembling old man, laughed, and said, "I, Wang Dashan, am the officer of the horse team under the commander of Dafangshan, old Liu, my daughter is still afraid that I will not have anything to eat?" ”

"That's it, don't force us to rob your daughter, we won't explain." Zhou Wang, the deputy commander behind him, laughed arrogantly.

Since the end of Wanli, following the rolling hand Liu Haishan Dafang Shan as the king, the official army came to encircle and suppress several times, but they were defeated by Liu Haishan, who occupied the geographical advantage, and the number of followers became more and more over time.

Over time, no one dares to control the Dafang Mountain anymore, and there is not even a shadow of the official army here these days. Looking around at the crowd, he saw a rather beautiful woman, who rode in front of her.

The frightened crowd made a way, and the woman's husband stood in front of him tremblingly, saying, "My lord, you just let us go, we can be cows and horses." ”

Zhou Wangyi whipped a horsewhip on the man's body, and said, "Whoever wants you to be a cow and a horse, just give your mother-in-law to Lao Tzu, otherwise you will be cut off!" ”

"No, my lord, give us a way to live."

"Officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are coming!" Suddenly, the voices of the people behind them came in surprise.

"Are the officers and soldiers really here?"

"The officers and soldiers actually take care of our small mountain village?"

"Great, saved!"

The voices of the people were surprised, and although Zhou Wang was a little surprised when he heard the officers and soldiers coming, he did not panic at all, and said disdainfully, "You think the officers and soldiers will be saved when they come?" ”

Wang Dashan rode out on his horse and said, "Let Lao Tzu kill these officers and soldiers in front of your eyes, and let them know the prestige of the Dafangshan Horse Gang!" ”

As soon as Wang Dashan's words came out, he saw a few horse thieves running back in a panic, but it was the dozen or so people who stayed at the entrance of the village, Wang Dashan grabbed a horse thief and asked, "Where is Liu Yu?" Didn't Lao Tzu tell him to report when he saw someone? ”

The horse thief roared, "Commander, run, this group of officers and soldiers is too strong, Liu Tou let a head officer and soldier chop to death, and the brothers can't resist it." "Wang Dashan doesn't believe it, Liu Yu's equestrian skills are also good, how can he let the officers and soldiers be killed with a single look?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw an officer and soldier with a face full of flesh wearing standard officer and soldier leather armor, holding a stainless steel knife that was still stained with blood in his hand, with a murderous face, who was it not Shi Gang?

Afterwards, more than 40 people who rushed over were all one person and one horse, armed with knives, and rushed over desperately. Wang Dashan was shocked, this group of officers and soldiers was not trivial, it was actually a horse team of one person and one horse, and judging from the formation, there were actually 100 people. Could it be that a large army of officers and soldiers passed by? The number of people was not superior, and half of the strength was unloaded at that time.

After a few years of thief career, Wang Dashan has mastered a skill, that is, if he can't beat him, he will run, and he will not stay here, but he will stay freely. yelled, "Little ones, run back to the mountain and tell the master of the village that the officers and soldiers are coming!" The remaining dozen or so horse thieves then fled.

Shi Gang looked at the fleeing horse thief and yelled angrily, "Niang Xipi, why did these thieves run so fast, I just killed a thief." ”

Xiao Yi and a few people entered the village, but they found that the battle had ended, and no one was injured on their side, while the horse thief was about to collapse at the touch of a button, leaving more than a dozen corpses, and fled back to the mountain.

"Official, thanks to you, thank you so much, otherwise we really don't know what to do." The old man came over and held Shi Gang's hand and said excitedly. The people around them also looked at Xiao Yi and them with a smile.

"Official?" When Shi Gang heard the old man's words, he looked back at Xiao Yi, saw that Xiao Yi nodded, and laughed, "That, this is our responsibility in the army." ”

"Why did you come here, this gang of horse thieves has been scourging our village for some time." An old woman said very painfully, "That is, my daughter was just taken away a few days ago, and the adults have to make decisions for us, and eliminate these horse thieves." A man shouted.

Then all the people knelt down one after another, and no one could stop them.

Shi Gang, Liu Sheng, and everyone were indecided, they all looked at Xiao Yi, and the people seemed to see that Xiao Yi was in charge. They all looked at Xiao Yi with hopeful eyes.

Shi Lu looked at Xiao Yi with a little emotion, dragged Xiao Yi, and said, "Xiao Yi, there are some things that we can't control, and we can't control them for a while, and we can't waste our time and brothers' lives here." ”

Xiao Yi was speechless, Shi Lu continued, "We don't know how many horse thieves there are, this time maybe they were frightened by our surprise attack, I just heard Wang Dayong say that this group of horse thieves must have at least a few hundred people, think about it, whether you can win the battle to eliminate such a group of horse thieves is still two words, brothers can not guarantee that there will be casualties." ”

Xiao Yi slowly let go of the hand holding the Qi family's knife, looking at the hundreds of people around him, Xiao Yi comforted, "People, get up!" We are not officers and soldiers, and we are just passing through here, so you should get out of here quickly, and we will leave immediately. ”

"Master Jun, don't, we'll be finished when you leave!"

"Stay and help us!" When the people heard that Xiao Yi was leaving, they immediately surrounded Xiao Yi and did not let Xiao Yi leave.

Huang Yang looked at Xiao Yi, he was not surprised by such a decision, and now it can only be like this.

Xiao Yi turned his head, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at the kneeling people, and said loudly, "Let's continue to hurry, people, take care!" Get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Xiao Yi and his party continued to hurry, leaving behind hundreds of people who were at a loss, maybe their fate was still the same as before? Or the horse thieves are afraid to go down the mountain, or the people rush to another place to live again. Xiao Yi still couldn't change anything after all.
