Chapter 98 Gao Ying was defeated in Xishan, and the fierce swordsman began to show his edge

Xishan Town, as the name suggests, is not only a mountain but also a stream next to this quiet village and town.

The stream is murmuring, and the lakes and mountains are like a picture scroll, and in the troubled times, it shows its beauty. Although Shaanxi said that there was a great drought, it was only the first two years, after today's spring, there were two rains, and now in the summer, there is occasional rain, but it cannot be said that after planting, there will be no food at all, but the people are afraid that people will come to rob them, and they dare not cultivate.

Why do the people here dare to farm? Mainly because, on the mountain next to Xishan Town, there is a good man. This person's name is Hu Ke, a native of Xishan Town, who liked to practice martial arts when he was young, wandered around, honed his good skills, and became a famous swordsman in Shaanxi. Later, when there was a severe drought in Shaanxi and the rogues were raging, he was worried that his hometown would be harassed, so he returned to his hometown with a group of friends from the green forest and organized the men in the town to practice martial arts to protect his homeland. After the nearby villages found out, they also came one after another, hoping to be protected by Hu Ke and join forces. There are many people and great strength, of course Hu Ke is willing, so each village has sent men to practice martial arts with Hu Ke, and the number has exceeded 1,000. In the past two years, there have often been small groups of rogues who have come to harass, but they have all been beaten away by Hu Ke, and Qiao Wu is one of them.

On this day, the men of Xishan Town, helping with farm work, began to practice martial arts with Hu Ke, and they are now holding regular weapons, which is also the blessing of Tuo Liukou, because of several fights, those Liukou have left a lot of weapons.

While I was practicing, smoke was burning not far away. This is a signal that the villages have discussed, and where there is smoke, there will be police.

Hu Ke immediately put away his weapon and led Ding Zhuang to rush to the place where the police were dispatched, as soon as he entered the town, he saw that many people were running towards them in a panic, Hu Ke asked loudly: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the rogues calling, there are a lot of people." An aunt said in a panic.

"Don't be afraid, find a place to hide, and we'll leave it to you." After Hu Ke finished speaking, he led the way to the entrance of the town.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the town, he saw thousands of people running towards this side not far away, but Hu Ke was not afraid at all, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid, they are just grass cowards. All we need to do is work together to defeat the enemy. Everyone follow me and protect our homeland! ”

"Protect your homeland!" "Protect your homeland!" ……

The man behind Hu Ke was not afraid, the big guy shouted loudly and rushed forward with Hu Ke.

The rogue on the opposite side is Gao Yingdeng's people. For Gao Yingdeng, robbing towns and villages has become commonplace, seeing that the villages and towns in front of him are very prosperous, and the farmland in the countryside is still planted with farmers, he is happy in his heart, knowing that there must be surplus grain here, and he will not go in vain.

When I came to the entrance of the town, I was just about to send a message to rob it, but I never thought that a group of people would be the first to kill from the town. Their foothold was not stable, and the people in the town had already killed in front of them, and Hu Ke, who was the leader, didn't say a word, and directly cut down a rogue. Around Hu Ke, there are more than 30 people, these people are all Hu Ke's brothers in the green forest, each of them is not weak, Hu Ke was the first to move, they were not merciful, picked up knives and guns, and slashed and killed.

Hu Ke and these people in the green forest are very powerful, how can they be compared to ordinary rogues. Moreover, this group of strong men taught by Hu Ke is not easy to deal with, and the daily training, even if he encounters the regular army, will not show weakness.

Gao Yingdeng and his subordinates were stunned at the time, they really didn't expect that the other party would dare to make the first move, and they were so staked that they were caught off guard for a while, and dozens of people fell down one after another.

Gao Yingdeng's heart was on fire, and he patted his horse and rushed towards Hu Ke. When Hu Ke saw him riding a horse, he knew that he was a leader, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he raised his knife to meet him. Gao Yingdeng was also happy when he saw Hu Ke rushing over, he was confident that his martial arts were not weak, and he was bound to be able to cut his opponent under the horse. Gao Yingden rode on a horse, holding a long knife, without waiting for Hu Ke to get close, he slashed over with a knife, Hu Ke was flexible, flashed to the side, dodged the knife, followed a copy, and grabbed Hu Ke's knife shaft. With his left arm back, he almost dragged Gao Yingdeng off the horse, but he didn't fall down before he let go, but the long knife in his hand had been snatched away by Hu Ke.

This Hu Ke not only uses a short knife, but also a long knife is not ambiguous, inserts a single knife into his back, and then dances the long knife towards Gao Yingdeng. Gao Yingdeng was frightened when he lost his weapon, and hurriedly shouted for help, and turned his horse's head, ready to flee for his life. His cronies and guards hurried over to the rescue, Hu Ke slashed the long knife, cut down two guards in a row, and shouted: "Where to go, Xiao'er!" ”

Gao Yingdeng had now turned his horse, and when he heard Hu Ke's shout behind him, he was so frightened that he couldn't care much more, and his feet knocked on the horse's belly and rushed backwards. The horse is now full of his men, and when these people saw Gao Yingdeng rushing over, they were so frightened that they quickly dodged, but some of them were slow to dodge, and they were directly overturned to the ground. Seeing that the boss was running backwards, the other party's momentum was like a rainbow, killing and slashing, and the rogues behind were all panicked, not caring about anything else, they turned around and ran.

Liukou has always had no quality, especially now, Gao Yingdeng has recruited a new group of people on the road, this gang of people is uneven, most of them fall with the wind, they can only win the battle, not defeat the battle. As soon as he encounters the other party's ferocity, he habitually hugs his head and runs away. As soon as they ran again, the others began to follow, and the team of rogue was immediately chaotic.

"Kill! Don't let go of an enemy! Hu Ke saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately shouted.

The strong men also fought with Hu Ke, and this kind of scene was often encountered, so they moved forward bravely and shouted loudly, "Brothers! Kill! Kill the Rogue! ”……

Hearing this earth-shattering shout, the rogues panicked even more, desperately fleeing backwards, trampling on each other, and killing and injuring countless people. At the beginning, Cao Wenzhao only led 5,000 people, and he was able to fight 50,000 or 60,000 rogue bandits, and his quality can be imagined.

The rogue was fleeing in panic, and Hu Ke led the villagers to chase after him, chasing him out of more than five miles in one go, and then turned around and returned to the town. In this battle, thousands of Liukou were killed and wounded, many of them were scattered, and in the end, there were only a few hundred people who followed Gao Yingdeng.

Hu Ke captured more than 100 prisoners, and after these prisoners were escorted into the village, they all cried, saying that they had no choice, and they rebelled against the rogues because they couldn't eat, and if they could stutter, who would do such a thing. Hu Ke asked them about the origin of these rogues, and the captives did not hide it, and told them in detail about their name as Gao Yingdeng, as well as the escape of the army led by King Chuang from Gansu.

After hearing this, Hu Ke secretly said bad in his heart, and told the villagers to quickly pack up their food and belongings and hide in the mountains to prevent the rogues from coming again. The captured rogues were all tied up and temporarily taken into the mountains, and the crops in the countryside could not be harvested, because they were planted with millet, and now they are still millet, and when they are not ripe, they cannot be eaten, so they can only be left in the ground.

Facts have proved that Hu Ke's approach is correct, after the defeat of Gao Yingdeng's army, he was furious, led the remnants of his army to defeat, and turned around in the starry night to find Gao Yingxiang's large army. After the two converged, Gao Yingdeng was also furious when he said that he was defeated, in addition to being angry that some people dared to openly confront the "righteous army", he was also angry that Gao Yingdeng was too incompetent and couldn't even take such a small town.

He immediately ordered that early tomorrow morning, he would send troops to Xishan Town to avenge Gao Yingdeng and give some color to those ignorant people.

The order was conveyed, and after Li Yan knew about it, he hurriedly went to see Li Zicheng and said frankly that he hoped that Li Zicheng would persuade Gao Yingxiang not to attack Xishan Town. Don't look at Li Yan I don't know what happened, but I can guess that Gao Yingdeng went to rob someone's house, and was beaten back, if it was a good look, it would never be like this.

The reason he gave Li Zicheng is very simple, our slogan is "punish the unreasonable, suppress the soldiers and calm the people", if you encounter the people's villages and towns, you will rob them, and when you see the people, you will be coerced in, what is the difference between that and robbers, and such an army is just a large number of people, and there is no combat effectiveness, otherwise, Gao Yingdeng will not be defeated. More importantly, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if the current practice is followed, it is impossible to win the hearts of the people, and after a long time, they will lose the support of the people.

Li Zicheng thought it was reasonable, thanked Li Yan, and then went to see Gao Yingxiang, and expressed Li Yan's views as his own. I hope that Gao Yingxiang will cancel this operation, not only can he not fight, but he will also apologize.

Gao Yingxiang is also a character, and after listening to it, he thinks that Li Zicheng's words are very reasonable. We have always called ourselves righteous soldiers, how can we always do this robber thing, in the past, the people were coerced, the number was large, and it looked terrifying, but when we really fought with the officers and soldiers, when we encountered ruthless stubble, it was a touch of collapse. This is not because their main force is incompetent, in fact, they can still resist, but because there are too many of them, they run backwards, and the whole army is in chaos, and the others follow the unintentional war, so they can only run backwards, just stepping on themselves, they don't know how much they will die, let alone the officers and soldiers rushing up again.

It seems that the style of military discipline is about to be reformed, and it can't always be the same as before, the court says that we are rogues, and we will be able to do the things of rogues. Since it is a righteous army, you have to do righteous things, and if you are not attached to my door, I can ignore it, but you are all attached to me now, but I have to control your military discipline and discredit my name of Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang agreed to Li Zicheng, and immediately called the leaders of all walks of life to convene an emergency meeting. The content of the meeting is to strictly enforce military discipline, and in the future, anyone who follows me Gao Yingxiang must do things in accordance with my military discipline, only kill officials and soldiers, and only rob local tyrants and bullies, and absolutely must not rob ordinary people without authorization, let alone coerce the people. If you are willing, you can stay, if you are not willing, you can leave now, I Gao Yingxiang will never force you to stay.

The leaders present are all here to attach themselves to him, pushing the king as the boss, and now the boss has said so, even if he is unwilling, he can't say half a word, after all, if he leaves the team now, once he encounters the official army, it will be a dead end. Everyone has seen it, Gao Yingdeng can't even beat the people in the countryside, if he is left alone, he may be wiped out before he waits for Shanxi. You know, the officers and soldiers must be chasing after it.

Seeing that no one objected, Gao Yingxiang proposed the second thing, asking Gao Yingdeng to go to Xishan Town to apologize to others. How could Gao Yingdeng agree to this kind of thing, but at this time, Li Zicheng stood up and said loudly: "Brother Gao and I are both subordinates of my uncle, since Brother Gao is unwilling, then let me go." ”

Gao Yingdeng saw that Li Zicheng took the initiative to ask for help, and thought to himself that this kid would not be in the name of apologizing, but actually wanted to rob the fat sheep in Xishan Town.

Thinking of this, he also stood up and said, "How can you let Brother Li go and apologize to others for my business, I did this thing, one person does things and one person is responsible, let me apologize." ”

Hearing Gao Yingdeng say this, Gao Yingxiang smiled and said, "Don't fight between the two of you, in this way, the two of you go together." Our army will continue to advance, and when you are humble to others, we will meet again and rush to Shanxi together. ”

Historically, Li Yan was a native of Henan, and after ten years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng joined the service. The book appears in advance, just to meet the needs of the plot, and I also ask you to spray lightly.
