Taihang Mountain is located at the junction of Hebei and Gyeonggi.

Ten groups of rebels walked out of the dense jungle and marched through Liaozhou to Qinzhou along the road they were familiar with. They don't take the main road and official road, but only rely on a pair of straw sandals to cross the mountains and mountains.

From March onwards, the rebels in Shanxi almost never caused trouble for the Qing soldiers, except for being fortified in the fortified county town. Whether it is facing Kong Youde or Wu Sangui, the appearance of the righteous army is no different from the beginning of the Shaanxi thieves, and often a charge is immediately dispersed.

Hao Yangyou led a group of rebels to ambush three hundred Qing soldiers on the border of Liaozhou, although they were all Han Chinese, Hao Yangyou was still very excited, and ordered all the prisoners to be beheaded, and they were piled up in a small town more than 20 miles outside Liaozhou.

In just seven or eight days, several rebel armies in Taihang Mountain successively defeated small groups of Qing soldiers in various places, mainly sneak attacks, ambushing and killing nearly 1,000 Qing soldiers.

Urgent reports from all over the country flew to Taiyuan City like snowflakes.

The Qing court originally thought that the war in Shanxi had reached its final stage. Dolgon ordered Wu Sangui's army to be stationed in Pingyang Province, resting his troops and horses, and waiting for orders to go south. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others guarded Taiyuan and listened to the dispatch of Geng Chun, the governor of Xuanda, to pacify the remaining parties in various places.

Geng Chun didn't care too much, and ordered Kong Youde to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses out of Taiyuan to Qinzhou to quell the chaos.

There were three rebel armies operating in Qinzhou, and after four or five days of hiding with Kong Youde, finally one of the rebels failed to dodge and was defeated by the Qing soldiers in Wuxiang County, Qinzhou, losing more than 1,000 people. A defeat brought the rebels who had just tasted the sweetness to their senses and returned to the mountains and forests.

But this time, they were not in a hurry to leave, but "buzzed" around Qinzhou City like annoying flies

Kong Youde ordered the guards in various places to block the road checkpoints, wanting to compress the rebel army in Qinzhou back to Liaozhou for a decisive battle.

To the south of Liaozhou is Luzhou, which is rich in iron and is one of the richest state capitals in Shanxi.

In the past few days, the city of Luzhou has become more and more crowded, and rich merchants and rich people within a radius of hundreds of miles have fled here with their blankets.

I heard that the rebel army had gathered more than 100,000 people in Liaozhou and surrounded the city of Liaozhou. In these years, the army was in chaos, and the villages without strong villages were like being washed away by a big wave, and gradually all disappeared in the war. Rich people want to find a safe place. Taiyuan is stronger than the city of Fu, and the city of Fuzhou is stronger than the county seat

Refugees who have fled from abroad have brought with them all sorts of news, either true or false. Those who huddle together and talk nonsense can only have a common topic in their peers who are similar to themselves.

"Drive, drive"

A cavalry swept through the streets. Most of the refugees could not read a single word, but they had an amazing discernment of passing officials, and they knew that it was not an ordinary hundred or thousand generals when they looked at the momentum of this cavalry.

Among the cavalry, there was a sturdy man, who was Gong Chen, a general in Luzhou who had just taken office.

Gong Chen's eyes were fixed on the city gate, and when he heard that a small group of rebels had appeared in Licheng County on the border of Luzhou, he was ordered to go there to check out.

Although he was the highest-ranking military general in Luzhou City, there were now Jurchens and Mongols in this city

Since Jiang Ping's rebellion, Dolgon has been more tightly controlled by military generals in various places. Not only did it emphasize that without the instructions of the civilian officials, soldiers and horses from all over the country were not allowed to leave the camp, but also a small number of Eight Banners were left in various provinces in Shanxi to monitor the Han people.

Gong Chen was one of the most powerful men in the Luzhou Guard, and he was also a prisoner.

The prefect of Luzhou received Geng Chun's order to strengthen the defense in various places, so that the rebels could not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes, and someone came to the door here.

Now it is no more than half a year ago, at that time, almost all the counties and prefectures in Shanxi were proud of cutting braids, and after this half a year's blow, more and more people chose to submit in the face of blood.

With the help of the power of the firm, Gong Chen has already connected with Jin Xiaoding, but things are not as easy to do as imagined. He didn't have like-minded companions around him, and he was only a co-ordinator in Datong before, and several cronies still stayed in that city. He left because he didn't have a chance to stay in that city, and now he has a chance to return.

Under this close surveillance, he did not dare to look for companions at will, and could only be a lonely adventurer.

Three hundred cavalry marched from Luzhou to Licheng County in half a day. Gong Chen did not enter the county seat, but went straight to the smoking village more than ten miles away.

There were not many rebels who came to Luzhou, only a small group of men and horses burned and looted outside the county seat. Two or three miles away from the village, I heard crying dad and mother, and the rebels or robbers were carrying large bags and small rolls, driving hundreds of people out.

The military discipline of the rebels is very bad, and they are also looking for a reason for themselves to rob wealth and vent their hatred. Jin Xiaoding had no choice, if he governed the army strictly, he was afraid that he would soon scatter if he gathered more than 100,000 people.

"Kill them," Gong Chen drew his sword.

Recently, these rebels from Taihang Mountain have fought a lot of ambush battles. The defenders of Licheng County were afraid of an ambush here and did not dare to fight. But Gong Chen knew that there were only a few hundred rebels in front of him.

The Qing soldiers each drew their weapons, and among the cavalry were more than a dozen cavalry archers from the Mengbaqi. This is Dorgon's latest move, he has to use the Han Chinese, but at the same time he is on guard against the Han Chinese.

The iron hooves hit the ground, and the Qing soldiers castrated like the wind.

The rebels didn't have time to throw away the baggage they had just scavenged, and ran to the nearest forest with their legs spread.

It's late, they are Jin Xiaoding's sacrifice to Gongchen.

The long knife cut off the heads one by one, and the bow only scratched one person before stopping at the horse. If these people had to die, he would choose to sit on the sidelines without doing anything.

In less than half an hour, there were more than 100 corpses on the ground. The Mongols and Han Chinese slashed and slaughtered happily, and the rescued people knelt on the bloody ground in gratitude. Thirty percent of the lucky rebels fled into the mountains behind the village, and Gong Chen did not pursue, these heads were enough for him to go back to the table.

A qiē is obedient.

This was Jin Xiaoding's idea, from the moment he willingly walked into Geng Chun's prison, Gong Chen knew that he was far behind him.

In the past few months, countless people in Shanxi have lost their heads every day, and his Gongchen hands have also been stained with a lot of blood. He doesn't kill, others kill him, so there is no need for mercy here.

More than 100 grades were brought to the front of Licheng County, and Gong Chen reprimanded the garrison of Licheng County in shame: "It's just two or three hundred little thieves, and it's worth you to report to Fucheng, if all counties are like you, do you want me to become three heads and six arms?" ”

He scolded the guard, and the county commander's face was very ugly.

"If there are any more rebels coming, we will find out first and then report it!"

Three hundred cavalry returned to Luzhou, and they did not lose a single soldier.

The good news of the Licheng County Order was sent to Lu'an Mansion, and another rebel army of more than 2,000 people came to the boundary of Licheng from Liaozhou.

As if to take revenge for the previous defeat, the township soldiers of Licheng County were defeated and returned, and then asked for help from the Luzhou government. There are 3,000 defenders in Luzhou, and Gong Chen asked the prefect for help: "Those traitors in Taihang Mountain are looking for their own death, and they are chased by Master Kong in Liaozhou and have nowhere to flee before they flee to Luzhou. ”

In the past few days, good news has come from all over Shanxi, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have joined forces to attack, and they have leveled the rebel army in Qinzhou and are marching towards Liaozhou.

The previous victory gave the impression that the rebels were not a traitor. The prefect allowed and ordered Gongchen to lead half of the soldiers and horses to battle.

Three hundred cavalry, one thousand two hundred foot soldiers, half of the people here are from the Han Eight Banners. Gong Chen couldn't command these people to join forces in the Luzhou Mansion, but he had a way to send these people to a dead end.

Because of the foot soldiers, the brigade arrived at Li Cheng in a short time.

The garrison and headhunters of Licheng County came to meet the barracks.

Gong Chen's face was gloomy, and he scolded: "It's just some thieves, what did you people do with the food and salary of the imperial court?" "He only lost his temper here a few days ago, and several people were scolded and didn't dare to speak.

"Where is the thief?"

"The thief is at the foot of Qingyang Mountain in the west of the city"

"Lead the way, watch me kill the thief"

The head catcher boldly said: "I heard that another group of rebels came to Licheng yesterday. It's getting late today, and Gong Shen will work hard all the way. My family has already set up a banquet in Licheng County, so it's better to rest today and wait for tomorrow ......."

Before he finished speaking, Gong Chen waved his whip and hit him on the head and face: "Are you a general in Luzhou?" ”

"Don't be afraid of thieves like tigers, and the garrison of Licheng will go out with me"

Three thousand Qing soldiers gasped and slaughtered towards Qingyang Mountain. As Gong Chen said, the rebels dispersed with one blow, and thousands of people were panicked like mountain rats burrowing into the dense jungle of Qingyang Mountain.

"Chase me, kill a traitor, reward a silver tael" Gong Chen's expression was excited, and now no one dared to question his orders anymore.

An hour later, the sky was dark, the mountain roads of Qingyang Mountain were rugged, and the torches in the jungle were like confused fireflies.

After chasing and killing hundreds of people, the soldiers were too tired to walk, and the guide who was most familiar with the mountain roads also stopped, and Gong Chen pointed to a flat valley in front of him and ordered: "Camp here tonight, and continue the pursuit tomorrow." ”

No one wants to go into the mountains to chase the thieves, and the soldiers who have worked all day settle down in the tents, bury the pots and cook, and some people are whispering and swearing.

The outline of Qingyang Mountain slowly disappeared into the darkness.

On the top of the mountain, Jin Xiaoding stood in front of the mountain temple and bowed three times seriously.

The Jin people revere Guan Yu a lot, and the mountain god is related to the public statue.

"Guan Shengren manifests, bless us to annihilate the Qing soldiers under the mountain, take down the Luzhou capital city, if I can get my wish, he will come here one day to reshape the golden body of the two immortals."

Guan Shengren has left a name for righteousness through the ages, and the righteous army is like a green forest, in fact, Jin Xiaoding has never believed in righteousness. Most of the people who can be ruthless to themselves can also be ruthless to others, and these rebels are pawns in the hands of the generals, including him. Half of the more than 100,000 people in the Taihang Mountains are under the city of Liaozhou, and half are on the border of Luzhou Prefecture.

In the middle of the night, the lights gradually went out in the barracks of the Qing soldiers under the mountain.

Jin Xiaoding pulled out his waist knife and ordered: "Attack"

A quarter of an hour later, in the east and west, the dark jungle seemed to be filled with a myriad of wild beasts, surrounding the quiet barracks down the mountain.

There is no retreat here.
