Fengyang Mansion, Haozhou.

Liu Liangzuo's 60,000 troops were stationed in the area of Maozhou, after Liu Liangzuo entered Beijing, the general soldiers Ma Degong and Tian Xiong led Liu Liangzuo's army, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong were all thieves, and later followed Liu Liangzuo to the imperial court, and since then they have become the official army of the Ming Dynasty.

It was already quite cold in early November, and it had just snowed heavily a few days ago.

When Ma Degong was hiding in the warm pavilion and making love with Gangna's concubine, Tian Xiong suddenly visited overnight, Ma Degong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly withdrew the concubine and let Tian Xiong into the warm pavilion.

After entering the warm pavilion, Tian Xiong didn't bother to take off his cloak, and said to Ma Degong with a solemn expression: "Brother Ma, something is wrong. ”

"Brother Tian." Ma Degong hurriedly let Tian Xiong sit down by the brazier, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you hear any rumors?" ”

"It's more than the rumors." Tian Xiong sat down by the brazier and said, "The junior brother has received conclusive news that Li Benshen, Wu Shengzhao, Gao Jinku, Li Chengdong, Liu Konghe, Liu Hongji, Li Huajing and other soldiers and horses of the seven towns have been dismembered by Wang Pu, and nearly 100,000 troops have been dispersed, and the remaining 40,000 have also been sent to Nanjing for training. ”

"Huh?" Ma Degong was shocked and said, "In this way, Li Benshen and the others have become the chief soldier of the light pole?" ”

"Who's to say it's not." Tian Xiong said, "Wang Pu, this dog is so poisonous, he didn't even leave them with his own soldiers." ”

Ma Degong hurriedly said: "Then Li Benshen and they are so obedient?" ”

"What else?" Tian Xiong said, "I heard that Wang Pu brought tens of thousands of elite central troops, Li Benshen and them, although they are outnumbered, they have no opinions, and when they encounter trouble, they are all fucking cowards, and the army of hundreds of thousands of people was disintegrated by Wang Pubing bloodlessly." ”

Ma Degong's eyes showed a worried look and asked, "You say, will Wang Pu come to Maozhou next?" ”

"It's already here." Tian Xiong stomped his feet and said, "Wang Pu is already on his way to Maozhou." ”

"Fuck." Ma Degong said angrily, "Lao Tzu will not obediently listen to him!" ”

Tian Xiong said: "The younger brother came to find Brother Ma late, it was for this reason, Li Benshen and the seven of them were because of the many people who were uneven, and they were defenseless, so they were won by Wang Pu, but the two of us had to discuss it in advance, whether to leave or stay, we had to act together, and we must not be at the mercy of Wang Pu." ”

A trace of viciousness flashed in Ma Degong's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Just don't do anything and clean up Wang Pu." ”

Tian Xiong's eyes showed an awe-inspiring expression, and he said in a deep voice: "We want to go together, and the younger brother thinks the same way, since Wang Pu doesn't give us a way to live, then we can only let him die!" However, the younger brother is worried that the 40,000 Central Army he accompanied is a real elite division, and it is by no means a vegetarian. ”

"Yes." Ma Degong nodded, "I have to think of a foolproof good way." ”

Tian Xiong said: "With only you and me 60,000 horses, I'm afraid that it is not Wang Pu's opponent, if you want to get rid of Wang Pu, you have to help Zuo Liangyu of Wuchang." ”

"Zuo Liangyu?" Ma Degong was stunned and said, "What does this have to do with him?" ”

"It's a big deal." Tian Xiong said, "If we lure Wang Pu into Mizhou City and get rid of it, the 40,000 central army under his command will never give up, and they will definitely besiege Mizhou City when the time comes, right?" ”

Ma Degong said: "That's right. ”

Tian Xiong said again: "Although the city defense of Haozhou City is strong, but the central army has Hongyi cannons, we can't hold out for too long under the bombardment of Hongyi cannons, so we need Zuo Liangyu to help, as long as Zuo Liangyu leads the army eastward in the name of 'Qingjun side' and threatens Nanjing, Sun Chuanting will let the 40,000 central troops outside Haozhou City withdraw to Nanjing." ”

"That's a good idea." Ma Degong nodded and said, "But Zuo Liangyu thinks very highly of himself, and he never takes you and my brother in his eyes, is he willing to send troops to help?" ”

"Brother Ma, don't worry." Tian Xiong chuckled and said, "Sun Chuanting and Wang Pu have taken the credit for deciding the policy, and Wang Pu has even made the Marquis of Jingnan because of this, and he Zuo Liangyu only fished a small Ning Nanbo, he was originally holding a belly of fire in his heart, and now that he is given such a good opportunity, he will definitely send troops." ”

"Hmm." Ma Degong nodded and said, "Then we will jointly repair a letter and send a fast horse to Wuchang!" ”

Tian Xiong nodded, and said, "In addition to contacting Zuo Liangyu, you have to think about how to get rid of Wang Pu?" ”

Runing Mansion, Henan Province, Shangcheng County.

The 2,000 righteous army led by the Red Lady is suppressing the landlord armed forces led by the richest man in the mall, which has to start with the Red Lady leading the army back to Henan.

After Li Yan was killed, the Red Lady vowed to avenge her husband, but in view of the disparity between the strength of the Henan army and the thieves, the Red Lady decided to retreat to Henan first and wait for the opportunity.

After returning to Henan, the Red Lady resolutely implemented the policy of "exempting land from taxation" proposed by Li Yan, and at the same time carried out more brutal oppression of the local tyrants and inferior gentry in various prefectures and counties in Henan.

The resistance of Shangcheng County is particularly huge, the landlord armed forces led by Tian Dahu have successively thwarted the advance of the Mall Rebels, and even attacked the county seat, killing the officials of the Rebels stationed in the Mall, it is in this context that the Red Lady personally led two thousand elite soldiers to Shangcheng County to suppress the resistance of the landlords' armed forces.

The landlords' armed forces were soon suppressed.

When the Red Lady was sending people to clear the land of Shangcheng County, the patrol of the rebel soldiers suddenly captured an officer and soldier, and was directly taken to the Red Lady's line.

The red lady stared coldly at Na Jian Xi and asked, "What do you do?" ”

"Villain ......" The annihilation didn't dare to face the murderous eyes of the red lady, and said in a panic, "The villain is a porter, not a pinnacle, really, you caught the wrong person." ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Jun, who was standing on the side, stepped forward and kicked the man's ass fiercely, scolding, "A porter can ride such a good horse? Who the fuck are you coaxing? Also, if you're just a porter, why do we run when we stop you? If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why are you running? Yes! ”

"Ouch." The man screamed miserably and begged, "Master Jun, just spare the villain, the little one is really not a small one." ”

The red lady was delicate and condensed, and shouted indifferently: "Old Seven, gouged out his left eye." ”

"Yes."

Li Jun suddenly agreed, stepped forward and lifted the man, and with the other hand he had already held a sharp dagger and gouged it out into the man's left eye socket, and the man suddenly screamed like a pig, and struggled desperately: "Don't don't, the military master spares his life, the heroine spares his life, the villain said, the villain said it all......"

The red lady made a look, and as soon as Li Jun's hand was released, the guy fell to the ground with a pop.

"Whew." The man let out a long sigh of relief, looked back at Li Jun with palpitations, and then said with his head on the ground, "Heroine, the villain is actually ...... It is the family member of the Ma General Army's mansion. ”

"Mr. Ma?" The red lady frowned and asked, "Which Ma Zongbing?" ”

The man said: "It is the merit of the general soldiers and horses of the state." ”

"The general soldiers and horses of the state have meritorious?" The red lady said, "Isn't the general soldier of Haozhou Liu Liangzuo, when did he become a horse?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "The heroine doesn't know, Liu Liangzuo has now been named Guangchangbo by the imperial court, and the current general soldier of Haozhou is Ma Degong." ”

The red lady said: "Ma Degong asked you to come to Shangcheng County for what?" Is there any collusion between Tian Dahu and Ma Degong? ”

"No, it's not like that." The man shook his hands and said, "The villain doesn't know what a big family is, the villain just went to Wuchang to deliver a letter on the order of General Ma." ”

After that, the guy took out a letter from his sleeve, and Li Jun snatched it and handed it to the Red Lady's case.

"Wuchang?" The red lady was not in a hurry to open the letter, and asked in a condensed voice, "Ma Degong sent you to deliver a letter to Zuo Liangyu?" ”

The man replied, "Exactly." ”

"Why did Ma Degong send a letter to Zuo Liangyu? Do you want to join forces in Henan? ”

"No, it's not to deal with the rebels in Henan, it's to deal with Wang Pu, the governor of the five provinces."

"Wang Pu!?" The red lady's heart moved, and she said to Li Jun, "Old Seven, take this guy down, take him under strict supervision, don't let him run away." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Li Jun picked up the guy and replied loudly, "He can't run." ”

When Li Jun left with the annihilation, the red lady hurriedly opened the envelope, and at first glance, she couldn't help but lose her face, and then hurriedly put away the letter and shouted to the door: "Someone is coming." ”

A soldier of the righteous army had already entered the room, hugged his fists and said, "What do you have to say from Madame?" ”

The red lady said: "Go and invite General Li Hu immediately." ”

"Yes."

The rebel soldier answered and took the order.

In less than a moment, Li Hu came to the red lady's line in a hurry, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?" ”

The red lady nodded and said, "Huzi, the matter of Qingzhang land and Juntian in Shangcheng County will be handed over to you." ”

Li Hu was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't hide the disappointment between his eyebrows, and asked, "What about you, sister-in-law?" ”

The red lady avoided Li Hu's inquiring eyes, and said indifferently: "Senior Brother Jing sent someone to deliver a letter just now, and my sister-in-law has to rush back to Kaifeng immediately." ”

Li Hu hurriedly said: "Then I'll go back with you." ”

"Nope." The red lady said hurriedly, "You have to stay and preside over the overall situation." ”

Li Hu pursed his lips and stopped talking, but he was really disappointed in his heart, he thought that it was a good opportunity to accompany the red lady to Shangcheng County this time, but he never expected that before he could say anything, the red lady was going back to Kaifeng again, but he left him here alone.

Milli state.

Several days passed in a blink of an eye, and when Wang Pu's army was approaching the central capital, and Ma Degong was in a hurry, Tian Xiong finally came to the door again. Ma Degong let Tian Xiong into the warm pavilion, and before Tian Xiong sat down, he asked eagerly: "Brother Tian, have you thought of a good way to get rid of Wang Pu?" ”

Tian Xiong said: "I thought of it." ”

"Say it quickly." Ma Degong hurriedly said, "What is the best way?" ”

Tian Xiong said: "Lao Tzu has set up three ghost gates for Wang Pu, this time even if he is possessed by Da Luo Jin Immortal, he will definitely die!" ”

"Oh?" Ma Degong asked impatiently, "Which three ghost gates?" ”

Tian Xiong said: "The first ghost gate, bury gunpowder in Yimen, Wang Pu must pass through Yimen if he wants to come to Maozhou, we can send someone to dig up the official road in advance, bury tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder underneath, just wait for Wang Pu's car to pass by and detonate the gunpowder, just like that, Wang Pu, the dog said to go to the sky." ”

"Okay." Ma Degong slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's a good idea, I like it." ”

Tian Xiong said again: "If the gunpowder fails to detonate, there will be a second ghost gate waiting for Wang Pu in Maozhou." ”

"Okay." Ma Degong shouted, "What is the second ghost gate? ”

Tian Xiong said: "The second ghost gate is closed in the city of Mizhou, if Wang Pu enters the city, he must go to the east gate, we will ambush the killers on the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the East Street, all the killers are armed with crossbows, and all the crossbow arrows have been highly poisonous!" When Wang Pu rode a horse and swaggered through the city, the arrows were fired in unison, hehe, as long as he was hit by an arrow, he would definitely die! ”

"yes, okay." Ma Degong asked again, "What about the third ghost gate?" ”

Tian Xiong said: "If the assassin assassination fails, we will immediately dispatch the guards to kill these assassins, if Wang Pu is still alive at this time, then Lao Tzu will only have one last resort!" ”

"One last resort?" Ma Degong asked, "What move?" ”

Tian Xiong said: "Wang Pu is greedy and lustful, his wife and concubines are all Qinhuai celebrities, gorgeous and charming, even if he is out on the expedition, he often carries a beautiful concubine with Qiao makeup and soldiers. ”

Ma Degong said: "Understood, do you want to use beauty tricks against him?" ”

"That's right." Tian Xiong said, "The third ghost gate is Yue'er!" ”

"Yue'er?" Tian Xiong was stunned and said, "Yue'er is your favorite concubine, are you willing to do it?" ”

Tian Xiong sighed: "In order to get rid of Wang Pu, I can only let Yue'er suffer some grievances." ”
