Chapter 245: The Righteous Army Gathers and Fights Itself
At the same time, more than 20 miles southwest of Anding County, the righteous army from all walks of life gathered, counting the Red Army friends of the headquarters of Shen Yikui, Li Dusi, Du San, Yang Laochai and other departments of 50,000 or 60,000 horses, the momentum was huge.

In addition, the rest of the Shaanxi Righteous Army has gathered, including Mantianfei, Wang Laohu, Hao Lin'an, Liu Daojiang, a city, a cloud, Xue Hongqi, Tan Xiong, Chaotian Monkey, Ke Tianfei, not muddy, Liu Minyue, Yizi Wang and other more than 20 rebel troops, more than 100 soldiers, hundreds of less, all went to Anding County, ready to fight with the official army to have a decisive battle.
Because most of the elite of the Ming Dynasty in Shaanxi were attracted by the iron cavalry of Lin Dan Khan of the Han Dynasty on the defense line of the Great Wall, the main force could not get out, and the local guards were erosive, which was not enough to quell a rebellion of such a scale, so they could only let these rebels pass through their own defense areas, and turned a deaf ear, quite a little out of sight.
By the end of October and the beginning of November, there were 28 rebel armies of nearly 150,000 people gathered in Anding, and although 20,000 horses were cut off by the official army in Anding County, the remaining 1230,000 soldiers and horses were still camped outside the city, and the momentum was huge.
After everyone weighed the pros and cons, the public recommended Shen Yikui as the leader of the temporary rebel army, commanding the rebel armies to fight against the imperial court together, after all, the timing of the Mongol Tatar invasion of Hetao this time was too perfect, once this opportunity was missed, and when the tens of thousands of elite main forces of the officials and troops on the three sides were freed up, I am afraid there would never be such a good opportunity again.
The leaders of the rebel armies from all walks of life are not stupid, just from the emptiness of the garrisons of the imperial court stationed in various states in Shaanxi, you can see some flaws, not to mention that the border army on the border directly mutinied and took refuge, and the news brought also confirmed this.
That is to break the official army in front of you, from now on Qingyang, Yan'an and other places, there will be no official army to block, the development of the righteous army will be smooth, once it swells to a million, even if the main force of the Ming court guarding the three sides is freed up, who will win and who will lose, then only God knows.
But even so, the rebels are also acting separately, there is almost no command, Shen Yikui in addition to commanding his own descendant troops, most of the rest of the leaders are obedient to him on the face, since they arrived in Anding County, they are all fighting separately, because there are too many rebels entrenched in this area, resulting in some difficulties in replenishing food and grass on the spot.
The Shenyi Kui Department is not bad, at least from the south of Yan'an Mansion looted a lot of food, but the other departments are not so good, basically more than a month's food, less than a few days, where can the military discipline of the righteous army be strong, naturally it is to catch who robs whom, after this boundary was robbed, some extremely hungry rebels, actually stretched out their hands to the friendly neighboring troops.
In the past few days alone, there have been dozens of reported conflicts, and the rebels who fought each other gave Shen Yikui a headache.
"Dashuai, this Wang Lao Hu is too uninteresting, yesterday he led troops to ransack the village where our troops were stationed, robbed 300 stone of rice and grain, and asked Dashuai to make decisions for our brothers." Hao Lin'an was the most angry, and ran to Shen Yikui's big tent early in the morning to complain, and wanted to ask the titular alliance leader to make the decision for him.
Without him, Wang Laohu's troops were much more than him, with tens of thousands of people, while his troops were only three or four thousand.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Shen Yikui was angry on the surface, and slapped the table, "Go and ask the king to settle the account!" ”
After doing this, he said good words to appease him, "General Hao is angry, if this matter is true, I will definitely be the master of the general, and among the righteous army, we will never tolerate such cruel people who kill brothers." ”
After these words, Hao Lin'an finally showed a smile, seeing that he was willing to call the shots, but how did he know that in the heart of Shen Yikui, Hao Lin'an, who supported an army of three or four thousand, was more important than Wang Laohu, who had 10,000 people, these words were just talking, as for justice, did Hao Lin'an have evidence?
It was only after a long time that I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and before I saw anyone, I heard a bold voice sound, "What is my brother looking for me, didn't you invite me to drink?" Haha~"
As soon as Shen Yikui heard this, he immediately got up with joy on his face, and was about to go out to greet him, when he saw the curtain being rolled up, and a burly man walked in, only glanced at him, and looked at Hao Lin'an who was glaring angrily, and directly showed a smile and hugged his fist at Shen Yikui, "Wang Laohu has seen my brother." ”
These titles, not all of them are the Water Margin heroes passed on in the Ming Dynasty, most of these thieves have not read much, and it is good to have a Water Margin loyalty, which will be Shen Yikui also smiled, "Brother Wang Xian is here, take a seat quickly." ”
This situation, to make Hao Lin'an miserable, thinking that he came in, where is there such treatment, and the heart of God Yikui to uphold justice is a little weaker, just look at Wang Laohu's expression is still gritting his teeth, this guy ignores the morality of the same righteous army, and robs his food, but the more than 100 brothers he guards the village are so innocent, they are called to be killed, and they are hateful.
So he stepped forward directly and said hatefully, "King Dog Thief, you connived at your soldiers and horses to be thieves yesterday, bullied me with few soldiers, and robbed me of money and food, today the eldest brother is here, you will give me an explanation!" ”
"Confession of!" Wang Laohu snorted and spat on the ground without thanks, "When did I send someone to rob you of your money and food?" ”
secretly thought that his hands and tails were cleaned up, and he didn't let others look at it at all, so he waved his hand at Shen Yikui with a look of grievance, "Brother, what this guy said is really unreliable, I have been eating and drinking in the camp yesterday, and I haven't even come out of the camp tent, and I ask my brother to clear my grievances for me!" ”
"Shameless!" When Hao Lin'an heard this, he immediately became angry, "Your soldiers and horses are on my side, it's not you, is it my brother's subordinates?!" ”
"Humph! Do you have proof? I also said that you robbed me of my food. Wang Laohu didn't put him in his eyes at all, he stared at him directly, it was very terrifying, and he didn't spare people, Hao Lin'an, who choked on three or five sentences, had nothing to say, yes, he didn't have any evidence! But Hao Lin'an is not easy to provoke, and stares directly at Shen Yikui with his neck.
"Okay, okay~" Shen Yikui also had a headache, where he couldn't see this, it was clearly Wang Laohu's food for the red family, and he bullied him for having few soldiers, and deliberately looted, if you want to say that this matter is easy to solve, as long as he relies on his strength to press Wang Laohu, he will inevitably make him soft.
If you are smarter, you can also understand the truth, resolve the grievances between the two, strengthen the connection between the righteous army, and once again, you can also reprimand Wang Laohu from Shen Yikui on the surface, and give Hao Lin'an a ladder to go down, after all, this happened, Hao Lin'an also knew that he couldn't recover the food, so he just wanted to make himself angry in front of Shen Yikui.
There is not much grain for three hundred stones, Shen Yikui occupies a few neighboring counties, and a lot of grain and grass have been looted, and a little profit can be solved, but where does he have this thought, just in the past few days, his subordinates have forcibly annexed a lot of lone thieves, and they themselves rely on their power to bully the weak, where will they preside over justice for Hao Lin'an.
just said with a haha, "It's exactly this reason, there is no evidence, how can it be counted, don't you take it on the spot, how can you convince the brothers?!" ”
When Hao Lin'an heard this, he was dumbfounded, "This." ”
"Hmph, brother's words, do you dare not listen to them?" Wang Laohu grinned, and kept sprinkling salt on his wounds, making his skin swollen and red, so he was not ashamed of anger, but seeing that Shen Yikui did not have the slightest determination to uphold justice for his family, he couldn't help but scold, "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being unjust, your Wang Laohu has 10,000 horses, and my Hao Lin'an is not easy to mess with!" ”
After speaking, he also knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so without waiting for his leave, he directly broke out of the camp, turned over his horse, and beckoned a few cronies to run all the way out of the camp. ”
Wang Laohu laughed, and didn't take it seriously at all, just chatted with him, and after a while, the two of them ate and drank in the tent, not taking Hao Lin'an's threat to heart at all.
Gai because of Hao Lin'an's station, on the left is Wang Laohu's main force, on the right is the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Red Army friends under Shen Yikui, and behind him is still Shen Yikui's main camp.
It was only said that Hao Lin'an ran all the way back to the camp, he was angry, and he still scolded in the camp tent, and his generals were also angry when they heard it, and they all said that Wang Laohu was not a thing, and Shen Yikui was also a raccoon dog, and what benevolence and righteousness were fake, but after scolding a circle, they were all dumbfounded, because there was no way to retaliate.
Hao Lin'an is considered to be the pioneer of the Shaanxi uprising, but since ancient times, he died quickly, and he was not as clever as others, and when the official army concentrated on suppressing the uprising, he did not go to Shanxi to hide, and naturally suffered a head-on attack by the official army, at its peak, his troops also had 20,000 or 30,000 people, but after years of fighting, there were countless casualties, and he was recruited by the official army.
There are fewer soldiers and horses left, this time Yang He went to work, Hong Chengchou came to power, treacherously booby trapped the head of the rebel army, he hurriedly raised the banner of rebellion and uprising, but was soon defeated by the officials and troops who rushed to hear the news, and he couldn't stand all the way, if it wasn't for Shen Yikui to attract the main force of the official army in Anding, he might have been exterminated.
"Big brother, since this group of people doesn't pay attention to faith, let's just lead the troops and leave." A subordinate stared at the west fiercely and scolded for a while before turning around and making an opinion.
Hao Lin'an's eyes lit up and slapped his thigh, "There is no master here, there is a place to stay here, order to go down, let's pack up our things and prepare to withdraw." ”
When the people below heard this, most of them agreed, "That's it, these bastards are here to attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, let's go south, and when we pull up the team, we will settle accounts with them." (To be continued.) )
