Chapter 217: Heaven Collapses (23)

Shaanxi, Huangba.

Huangba is a small village in Hanzhong Province, Shaanxi Province.

Hanzhong Mansion is the southernmost mansion in Shaanxi, and the grass and trees are relatively abundant among the provinces in Shaanxi.

In recent years, natural disasters and wars have occurred frequently in Shaanxi, and most of the villages are sparsely populated.

At the entrance of Huangba Village, more than a dozen horsemen and horses stand at the entrance of the village.

A collapsed loess wall at the entrance of the village has a large piece of paper pasted on the wall.

On the large piece of paper is a portrait of a middle-aged man with the face of an ordinary farmer. Such similar faces are a lot of grabs in the crowd.

The funny thing is that this portrait is actually a portrait of a sea-catching paperwork. The middle-aged man in the portrait is the object of the reward, and the reward amount of this ordinary-looking middle-aged man is actually 30,000 taels. The bounty amount of 30,000 taels can be called a sky-high bounty in this era. Such a bounty is enough to make the world crazy.

One of the knights who was at the front of the dozen knights noticed the sea-catching book on the wall. When he saw the name on the book, the knight only smiled contemptuously. It seems to be mocking this sea fishing paperwork.

The knight drew his sword, and slashed the tip of the knife at the sea-catching paper, one cut followed by another, and seemed to enjoy the process of cutting through the paper, not feeling that it was a very boring thing in the slightest.

With the knife after the knife was cut, the thin paper was cut into thousands of pieces, and a gust of wind blew, and the sea fishing documents that were barely glued to the wall drifted away with the wind and landed on the ground not far away.

The knight spat at the scattered pieces of paper on the ground, and sneered: "The court is willing to spend blood, and my head is worth 30,000 taels of silver." ”

The knight pointed to his head and smiled playfully, and plunged himself into the ground, the tip of his knife sinking into the soil.

This knight is the person who offered a reward of 30,000 yuan on this paper sea fishing document: Lu Tianhao, a giant in Shaanxi. Lu Tianhao has also rebelled for some years, and it has been more than ten years since he was trying to fill his belly more than ten years ago.

As the leader of the rebellion, Lu Tianhao has changed from a young man to an old man. Of course, he has also grown from an unknown small leader of the Wandering People's Army to the main leader of the Wandering Army. In the recent cavalry, Lu Tianhao has always been singing the leading role.

Lu Tianhao has an extremely ordinary face, this ordinary face is no different from an honest peasant in the countryside, and it is also a creation to make people, if Lu Tianhao did not rebel, his fate in this life would be an ordinary peasant. However, the rebellion changed the course of his life beyond recognition.

Lu Tianhao's exile army is known for his tenacious son. Lu Tianhao raised troops several times, and at his peak, he once reached the scale of 200,000 or 300,000 troops. Dominating the Northwest, the whole empire was shaken.

But the good times didn't last long, and every time Lu Tianhao raised troops, he was suppressed by the Qin army without exception. Each time, only a few dozen remnants of hundreds of horsemen were left to escape into the mountains, evading the pursuit of the imperial court, and after the rumors passed, they came out of the mountains again in order to make a comeback. If you fail, you will escape into the mountains and then go out of the mountains, which seems to have become a part of Lu Tianhao's life. Big ups and downs, ups and downs.

The dozen or so cavalry cavalry around Lu Tianhao plus the seven or eight cavalry spies sent out are all Lu Tianhao's belongings now. He wants to use these sour belongings to come out of the mountain again and make a comeback.

"My father's real name is the Son of Heaven, don't say it's 30,000 taels, even if it's 300,000, I can't buy my father's head." Lu Tianhao's son Lu Guocheng said with a smile.

A spies came from the entrance of the village, and the horse's hooves rolled up a puff of smoke and dust on the loess road at the entrance of the village: "Heavenly King! ”

Traveling in front of Lu Tianhao, the spy dismounted and knelt down and hugged his fists and said: "Gongchang Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion have come to report, these days the garrisons of Gongchang Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion have been transferred out on a large scale, and Shaanxi is empty of troops, it is a good time for me to wait for a comeback!" "The King of Heaven is the title that Lu Tianhao gave himself in the heyday of the army, Lu Tianhao thought about many titles when he wanted to give himself a title, and finally felt that the "Heaven" son was domineering and more deterrent, so he named himself the king of heaven.

Although it is now a low point in his life, these are loyal old brothers who follow him, and they are still used to calling Lu Tianhao "Heavenly King" as a sign of reverence.

Speaking of this, the spy looked excited, he had been holding back in the mountains for so long, and the time had finally come. After getting the good news of the transfer of the Qin army and the Liangzhou town army, how could he not like it?

The Qin army and the Liangzhou town army were the most effective armies of the imperial court in the northwest, and they were also Lu Tianhao's main enemies. The transfer of the Qin army and the Liangzhou town army is really good news. Once there are no two strong armies in the northwest region, there will be no army in the entire northwest that can compete with Lu Tianhao.

Lu Tianhao was not surprised by the news of the transfer of the Qin army and the Liangzhou town army, he behaved very plainly, and this matter seemed to be as he expected.

Shanxi's Qiao family had already sent a message to him last time, and the Liao army was about to enter the customs within a few days, and all the soldiers and horses in the world would enter Beijing to serve as King Qin. The Qin army and the Liangzhou town army left behind in the northwest region were of course no exception.

These two armies were one of the few armies that the imperial court had in its sights, and they were also the armies that the imperial court relied on to maintain the ruling order. Once the Liao army broke through the border and entered the pass, these two armies were the key objects of allocation.

"Mr. Ye." Lu Tianhao turned his head sideways and looked at a person dressed as a scribe, this scribe looked a little obscene, if he wasn't wearing a straight shirt that only a literati wears, no one would associate him with the image of a scribe.

This scribe is dressed in a long robe, which is very conspicuous among the short clothes and plain brown, and the scribe's surname is Ye Ming. Ip Man was originally the county commander of Feng County, Hanzhong Prefecture, and when Lu Tianhao attacked Feng County ten years ago, Ip Man did his best to resist Lu Tianhao, bringing huge casualties to Lu Tianhao's exile army.

At that time, Lu Tianhao was in a hurry, and after breaking the city, he ordered that the county seat of Fengxian County would be razed to the ground to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Fengxian County bravely resisted the siege of Lu Tianhao's exiles, they thwarted the many attacks of the exiled army. However, the reinforcements of the imperial court were delayed, and the soldiers and civilians of Fengxian County were finally exhausted, and Lu Tianhao's exile army conquered the county seat of Fengxian County.

After the city was broken, Ip Man, like most officials, chose to commit suicide to serve the country, and hanged himself in the county government with a ribbon. When Lu Tianhao felt the county office, Ip Man was hanging at the door of the county office. Lu Tianhao rescued Ip Man, but fortunately, Lu Tianhao came in time, and Ip Man's breath was still there.

Out of cherishing talents, the exile army is basically a big old man, and there are few people who are proficient in literature and ink and are good at giving advice. Lu Tianhao also needed a scribe to advise him.

Of course, Ip Man disdained to be in the company of the Liumin Army and was bent on death. Coincidentally, the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture did not send reinforcements after receiving Ip Man's letter of request for help, but retreated in Hanzhong City because he was afraid of the huge momentum of the exile army.

When the news of the loss of Fengxian County reached Hanzhong Mansion, the Hanzhong prefect knew that the matter was big, and a large part of the reason for the loss of Fengxian County was that Hanzhong Mansion did not rescue the Fengxian county seat surrounded by the exile army in time. The garrison of a small county town is not enough to compete with tens of thousands of wandering people.

It is a big crime to lose a county town under his rule, and once this matter is stabbed to the imperial court, the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture will definitely be indispensable to arrest and govern the Jingshi and ask for the crime. The imperial court has always had an unforgiving attitude towards the magistrates who lost the city.

After getting the news that Ip Man was still alive, the prefect of Hanzhong panicked, Ip Man had sent him a letter asking for help, and Ip Man had done his best as a county commander to guard the city. The court asked about the crime, and Ip Man was not guilty. On the contrary, he was the prefect of Hanzhong, and he sat back and watched the fall of the county under his rule, and the deprivation of his official position was still small, and the killing of his head was light.

In order to evade responsibility and eradicate the roots, the prefect of Hanzhong even claimed that the county seat of Fengxian was lost because the county order of Fengxian had already surrendered to the enemy. Give the county seat of Fengxian to Lu Tianhao, and at this time Ye Man was imprisoned by Lu Tianhao in the camp of the Wandering Army.

In the face of his immediate boss, the grandiose framing of the prefect of Hanzhong, Ip Man had a hard time arguing. In the end, the imperial court listened to the statement of the prefect of Hanzhong and determined that the county commander of Fengxian County colluded with the exile army and deliberately plotted a rebellion.

Without careful examination, the imperial court sent Jinyi Wei to arrest Ip Man's family and execute him. Ye Man has since died of this heart loyal to the imperial court, is such a court worthy of his loyalty?

When the news came that his family was beheaded all over the house, Ip Man fainted several times, and after waking up, he agreed to Lu Tianhao's request and promised to be Lu Tianhao's military advisor, and since then he has embarked on a path that runs counter to his life.

After joining the Wandering Army, Ip Man gave advice to the Wandering Army several times, and gave miraculous feats, which can be called the think tank of the Wandering Army, and enjoys a high reputation in the Wandering Army, known as "Living Zhuge ". After defecting to the Wandering People's Army, the first thing Ip Man did was to take revenge, and the object of his revenge was his former boss, the prefect of Hanzhong.

Under Ip Man's planning, the exile army successfully and successfully captured Hanzhong City, which was the first capital city taken by the Northwest Refugees since the uprising. Lu Tianhao also became famous. The Northwest Wandering People's Army obeyed Lu Tianhao as the leader of the Wandering People's Army.

After breaking through the city of Hanzhong Prefecture, Ip Man then sentenced the Hanzhong prefect and his family to death to vent his hatred. The cruelty of his methods made Lu Tianhao, who was like a murderer, frightened. Lu Tianhao never thought that a literati scholar could be so ruthless.

After Ip Man became Lu Tianhao's military advisor, the exile army became more difficult to deal with, and when Peng Chaodong dealt with Lu Tianhao's exile army, although the Qin army had an absolute advantage, and the exile army fought with the exile army, the Qin army also won more and lost less. But Peng Chaodong still suffered a lot of losses from the exiled army.

As Ip Man's reputation in the Wandering People's Army grew, the imperial court also realized Ip Man's threat, and listed Ip Man as the No. 2 Northwest Exile Army's sea capture target after Lu Tianhao, with a reward of 10,000 taels.

Lu Tianhao and Ip Man are the only two characters in the Wandering Army with a bounty of more than 10,000 taels.
