"These mobs are really lawless."

"That's it, what's wrong with General Zuo, who is so brave and good at fighting, how can he be defeated by these mobs?"

"WON'T YOU BE OUT OF THE INNER JIAN, HOW CAN THESE MUD FEET DEFEAT WELL-EQUIPPED OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS."

"Aren't the soldiers under General Zuo known as tigers and wolves? You can't be mistaken, right? ”

Everyone knew the news that Zuo Liangyu was defeated by the righteous army, first in an uproar, and then again and again, for fear that they would hear it wrong, they were all surprised, after all, Zuo Liangyu can have today's status, all of them have worked hard, and he also led his troops to fight fiercely with Houjin, and made great achievements, and now he is defeated by the mob, which sounds a bit like the taste of beating an old boxer to death with a random fist.

Only Lu Haoshan was not surprised, as a descendant, Lu Haoshan knew that these "mud feet" not only have the ability to disrupt the situation, but also have the power to overthrow the corrupt and degenerate Ming Dynasty, and now Li Zicheng, who is still known as the general, forced the high Chongzhen to die in the coal mountain, and sat on the throne of the emperor.

"Okay" Lu Haoshan interrupted everyone: "The tiger also has a time when he dozes off, the gains and losses on the battlefield are nothing, and our Sichuan soldiers are not weak, isn't it to let a non-muddy stir up the world?" Why, I heard that General Zuo was defeated, are you still afraid? ”

After speaking, Lu Haoshan looked around at his subordinates and said loudly, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" All the subordinates said in unison.

Lu Haoshan nodded and said: "Don't eat the bowl of rice as a soldier if you are afraid of death, there is the siege of Commander Dong in front, and now there is the defeat of General Zuo's army, which is just a warning for us not to slack, when it comes to the battlefield, in addition to the quality of equipment, the quality of personnel, and the use of tactics, it also depends on the right time, place and people, the key is to use your brain." ”

Between words. Lu Haoshan pointed to his head with his finger.

"To fight, Guan Jian still has to use his brain" At the same time as Lu Haoshan said this, on the White Horse Mountain east of Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, Lao Huihui said to his henchmen earnestly while knocking on his pipe.

Lao Hui Hui's original name was Ma Shouying, a native of Suide, Shaanxi, a Hui people, a man who values righteousness and strategy, and everyone affectionately calls him "Lao Huihui", some people say that he is a military household, some people say that he is too poor to eat and mixed into the border soldiers. But these are not important, heroes do not ask about their origins, people prefer to judge heroes by success or failure, and the old Hui Hui, who is brave in combat and good at using his brain, can quickly stand out.

As the leader, Lao Hui Hui occupied a very important position in the rebel army.

Unlike the leaders of other uprisings, most of the subordinates recruited by other leaders in the early days of the uprising were poor people who could not survive, and the personnel were low, while many of Lao Huihui's subordinates were border soldiers, and the border soldiers were also called town soldiers. Their uprising was mainly caused by the financial difficulties of the Ming court and the long-term deduction of military salaries by military officers, from the last year of the Apocalypse to the second year of Chongzhen, the military salaries of the three towns of Yansui, Ningxia and Guyuan were in arrears for 36 months, and the soldiers had no food and clothing. Unable to bear it anymore, they fled one after another, and joined forces with the hungry people to revolt, and Lao Huihui had many well-trained border soldiers under his command. So his strength is very strong, and he has a very high position in the rebel army.

"Yes, yes. Big brother, you're right. The team's open-minded people nodded again and again, and said to the people around them while nodding: "Did you hear it, the eldest brother has lectured, and you have to use your brains to fight." ”

Huoyazi's original name was Ma Da, he was the absolute henchman of Lao Huihui, the two rebelled together as soldiers, had a fateful friendship, and had the title of "stunned Zhang Fei" on the battlefield, and did not want to die when fighting, and never took half a step back without an order.

Lao Hui was a little amused and knocked his head with a cigarette pouch, and said angrily: "You can also use your brain?" ”

"Yes," said Huoyazi with a serious face.

"Oh, yes" Lao Hui was happy, and asked: "Then tell me, why didn't we go to Shunde and Zhending with Zijinliang and King Chuang this time?" ”

Huoyazi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said with a grin: "I don't know, you just need to know this kind of thing, big brother, anyway, I listen to you." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and after laughing, a henchman named Huafu said curiously: "Big brother, everyone else is running forward, why are we retreating instead?" Wouldn't it be better to run ahead and eat meat? ”

"Eat meat?" Lao Huihui shook his head and said, "If you run again, don't talk about meat, it's good to save your life." ”

"No, big brother, aren't those officers and soldiers being beaten by us now that they can't find the north? That invincible Zuo Liangyu was not defeated by us all the same, and I was afraid of what they would do" Huoyazi licked his lips and said with some envy: "I heard that the closer you are to the Beijing Division, the more big households there are, and there are so many gold, silver and jewelry that you have to use baskets to pack, those women are tender and tender, tsk, and you can pinch out the water with a pinch, just think about it." ”

When it came to women, many people present showed yearning looks, who would risk the crime of killing their heads to rebel these years? I don't know what will happen tomorrow today, and having the opportunity is naturally timely to be happy, and in such an environment, under such pressure, even the kindest people will become greedy and cruel.

"Yes, chief, why do you say that your life is not guaranteed?"

"The imperial court and Houjin are at war, and we are just fishing in troubled waters"

"Besides, we're not afraid of them."

"Chief, just tell me about it."

Everyone said a word, and then watched their leader come back together, waiting for him to answer.

Lao Hui sighed back and began to say in a deep voice: "Recently, it has been going very smoothly, everyone is a little carried away, the surface is very smooth, but in fact, we have been forced to the edge of the cliff, and we will fall to pieces at any time." ”

Huoyazi said a little disappreciatively: "Big brother, what are you afraid of, that is the officers and soldiers are powerful, our equipment is worse than theirs, but we will run, if there is something, we will drill into the old forest, and it will be difficult for those officers and soldiers to chase us." ”

"If you can't run, it's good to run, but if you want to run, there's nowhere to run, what can you do?" Lao Hui said with a stern face.

"This, this, big brother, the world is big, don't you want us to run?" Seeing the old woman with a stern face, even if she was a little scared.

Lao Huihui motioned to the guards around him to take out a map, unfold it on a stone, point to the map and say: "You see, this is where we are now, to the west is Shaanxi, our hometown, now Hong Chengchou is still guarding the town, and the brothers in Shaanxi have let him kill seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, eight, first, they are well guarded, and second, there is really nothing to rob, so it is not possible to go west; To the east, that is the direction of the Beijing Division, the Beijing battalion soldiers are not those guards, the soldiers are rich in food, elite equipment, we are now going to send food to people, so it will not work to the east, to the north that is Datong, there are heavy troops, to the north is to send them the head of the promotion to make a fortune, that is, those garrisons are not light yì left their camps, lucky, rushed out, then to Tatar, that is someone else's territory, that ghost place is a horse Pingchuan, is the world of cavalry, we people can't play at all, so it is a dead end to the north. ”

After a pause, Lao Hui continued: "East, west, and north are not good, then only to the south, south is the Huguang area, the center of the Ming Dynasty, there are many people and food, and the imperial court does not have many troops, it is definitely a good place, the problem is that there is a Yellow River in the middle, the imperial court has long been deployed in the Yellow River, strictly prevent us from crossing the south, I heard that the fishing boats are levied, we can't pass at all, the worst thing is that now the Ming and Houjin have gone through a big war, each other have to recuperate, In this way, Emperor Chongzhen's dog can free up his hands to deal with us, and now the elite soldiers of Datong and Baoding are also high-profile troops, plus Shaanxi, Sichuan and other troops, when we are still happy, the imperial court has woven a big net for us, ready to wipe us out. ”

"The intention is very clear, but many brothers haven't seen it yet" Lao Huihui said with a serious face: "Now that we are retreating, it is to disrupt the deployment of the imperial court, hoping to tear a hole and leave a way for the brothers to live, but also to leave a way for themselves to live, of course, the officers and soldiers can't think of us sneaking back, attacking them unprepared, maybe the effect will be better." ”

Most of the subordinates are people who wash their feet and go to the fields, and those soldiers who take refuge only have eating, drinking, and having fun in their eyes, and they are drunk and drunk in the future, and the old Hui Hui of the military background has long felt the actions of the imperial court, knowing that this time it is a big trouble, and the court has made up its mind to clean up the mob in their eyes.

People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, be careful and enterprising, this is the way of survival of Lao Huihui.

"Chief, where are we going now?" One of his men asked in a whisper.

Lao Hui squinted back and said, "Go west, now you can only walk to it." ”

"No matter where I go, anyway, where the eldest brother goes, I will follow my teeth." Huoya patted his chest and said without hesitation.

Lao Hui stood up, put the copper bucket tobacco pouch into his belt, and said loudly: "Okay, tell the brothers not to make an open fire, eat some dry food, and then rest the two pillars of incense and set off." ”

said that he was walking step by step, but as the leader, how dare Lao Huihui not calculate in his heart, but the means of the imperial court are very powerful, and he always inserts eyeliner in unknowingly, which can always make people unguardable, Lao Huihui never supports his plans and subordinates, and sometimes deliberately changes the route halfway, which is this caution, so he has not been hit hard.

"Yes, big brother"

"Yes, Chief," the rest of his men hurriedly replied.

After resting for half an hour, Lao Hui gave an order, and thousands of people marched forward in a mighty manner, and at the same time, in the same opposite direction, a well-armored and disciplined cavalry was rapidly advancing, and the word "Lu" was written in large strokes on the banner that was grinning in the wind.
