In the carriage, Xu Liang and Tietou stared at the crumpled note on the small square table.

"Young master, could it be that Mrs. Feng or Mrs. Lou deliberately left it in your sleeve and wanted to remind you of something?" Iron Head asked humbly.

Xu Liang said: "Remind me? What remind me? Feng Suqin is gentle and virtuous, even if something is not good, she will say it euphemistically to her face, as for Lou Xian'er, do you think that with Xian'er's temperament, she will have the patience to stuff a note into my clothes, and then wait for me to find out inadvertently? Xu Liang couldn't help but slap the iron head lightly, and shouted: "Please use your brain when you think about problems!" Can the two of them in the family do such a bad thing? ”

Tietou rubbed his head and looked at Xu Liang embarrassedly, but he still insisted on his own point of view, and also put forward the basis for reasoning: "Young master, this is difficult to say. You see it says, watch out for the aroma. When you look at it clearly, you really don't know what to do. However, if you think about it, the key is that the word aroma is difficult to understand. ”

Xu Liang looked at the iron head and sneered: "I can't see it, it's a little growing." And then what, you go on? ”

"What does aroma mean?" Tietou was encouraged by Xu Liang, and said brightly: "Young master, think about it, where is the fragrance?" Judging from my experience in the past seventeen or eighteen years, the most fragrant place is the Qinglou Courtyard, good guy, as soon as you walk into those places, the fragrance is fragrant. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he was angry: "Do you want to tell me that Feng Suqin or Lou Xian'er deliberately left such a note, just to tell me not to go to the kiln?" ”

"Hehe," Iron Head sneered, "Young Master, it's not impossible for you to understand it like this. However, Yi Tie wants to come. The two ladies want to tell the young master that you should beware of women, especially those with fragrance on their bodies! ”

Xu Liang squinted at the iron head. Touching his chin with his hand, he nodded incessantly towards Tietou, "Why didn't I find out that Ah Tie was so strong in reasoning before?" It's really condescending to put you by your side, you should go to the prefect's yamen to be the head catcher, and the position of the cow's auxiliary machine, just rush to this reasoning ability, and solve any difficult case in minutes. ”

"Where," Tietou was very modest, but he couldn't help but have a smug look on his face. "Ah Tie's achievements today are due to the young master's teaching."

Xu Liang snorted lightly: "I can see that you are very proud?" ”

"Hehe, it's rare to show your hand in front of the young master, and it's a little hard to help yourself......"

Xu Liang kicked over and scolded with a smile: "Get out of the calf!" What a mess! ”

drove the iron head out of the carriage, but Xu Liang became puzzled about the origin of the paper ball. Thinking carefully about the whole process from getting up to boarding the carriage today, Xu Liang suddenly remembered that when he clinked glasses and drank with him, he seemed to be close to him. He also patted his sleeve twice, most likely because he did it at that time.

It's just that, beware of what the four words aroma mean, what do you want to remind yourself? Xu Liang was puzzled. At this time, Xu Liang's sleepiness swelled up. I put aside the paper ball for the time being and fell asleep with peace of mind.

When Xu Liang led 3,000 artillery battalion soldiers to Xixiang County, Hanzhong Prefecture, He Huchen. He Renlong, Luo Rucai. Wan Wenshan and other generals have joined forces and trapped the troops of the people's army Gao Zilin who were hiding in the mountains on the mountain.

Xu Liang arrived with the order of Yang He, the governor of the three sides. Nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers began to close the net and gradually compress into the mountains.

Gao Zilin's civilian army at this time still had tens of thousands of people, and after the successive defeats in the battle of Hanzhong Mansion, Gao Zilin took the few remaining civilian troops to hide in the mountains southwest of Xixiang County.

Halfway up the mountainside, the people's army simply built a few straw huts that were ventilated everywhere and barely able to keep out the rain, which became the handsome tent of Gao Zilin, the leader of the people's army.

Several henchmen were guarding the surroundings, and in the grass hut, Gao Zilin and Gao Yingxiang sat opposite each other, drinking in silence with gloomy faces.

"Phew, this wine is worse than horse urine!" King Gao Yingxiang lost an eye in a battle outside Pingliang City, and the king of Chuang became a one-eyed king at this moment.

The one who was holding the wine jug and preparing to pour the wine was the grandson of the new King Chuang, whose surname was Li and his name was self-contained. The name is atmospheric, and the appearance is also positive. Li Zicheng wants to continue to replace Gao Yingxiang.

As a result, Gao Yingxiang pushed with his big hand and shouted: "Don't pour, I drink Lao Tzu with anger." He turned to look at Gao Zilin, who had been silent, and asked, "Senior brother, how long will we stay on this mountain where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't?" Seeing that the officers and troops under the mountain are about to attack the mountain, if they don't leave, our gang of old brothers will have to fold here. ”

Gao Zilin glanced at Gao Yingxiang, as steady as Mount Tai, and said, "Don't be bored, I have ordered Wang Zuogui and Huang Jiayin to take people to check the other two ways down the mountain." If we haven't been blocked by the officers and soldiers, we will have a way to live. ”

Gao Zilin got up and looked down the mountain, and could vaguely see the camp tents of the officials and soldiers under the mountain, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses were hidden.

"Strange!" Gao Zilin muttered to himself: "The newly arrived trilateral governor Yang He has obviously made up his mind to recruit civilian troops from all over the country, why is he suddenly overwhelmed by a large number of troops? ”

Gao Yingxiang glared at the only eye and scolded: "Brother Gao, you still take the words of the court seriously." In my opinion, the envoy of the trilateral governor who went up the mountain a few days ago was very fanciful in front of us, but in fact it was simply a time to delay the army. At that time, I advised you not to trust the court, look, now retribution is coming, right? Under this mountain, in the southeast, northwest, and in all directions, it is the army of the imperial court, and we are surrounded tightly! ”

"It doesn't make sense." Gao Zilin still couldn't believe it, "According to the news sent back by our spies, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, not only sent us an envoy to recruit security, but also sent people to almost all the heads of the people's army in the northwest." ”

Gao Yingxiang saw that Gao Zilin was still struggling with this matter, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Gao, wake up, the officials and soldiers surrounded by iron buckets under this mountain will not be fake, right?" ”

Gao Zilin listened, was silent, and looked down the mountain with a gloomy face.

After a while, a group of men and horses rushed out of the mountainside, and the soldiers of the people's army who were watching shouted, "General Wang is back!" ”

Wang Zuogui was in a mess, panting and running to Gao Zilin and Gao Yingxiang, and arched his hand: "General, King Chuang." The mountain road to the west was also surrounded by officers and soldiers! I led people to rush for a while, but I couldn't get out. Dozens of brothers died. ”

Gao Zilin listened, and his heart sank. But he still maintained an indifferent expression on his face, and said to Wang Zuogui: "General Wang has worked hard, go down and rest." ”

"Yes."

Wang Zuogui retreated, Gao Yingxiang didn't have the heart to sit anymore, got up and walked to Gao Zilin's side, looking at the bottom of the mountain, looking anxious.

Now, there are still people who have not returned, although there is little hope. But there is still a chance.

However, this last hope was soon dashed. Two quarters of an hour later, the other way of exploring the road also came back, the leading general of the people's army, Huang Jiayin, was not as lucky as Wang Zuogui, he was covered in blood, and three arrows were inserted in his chest, and he was hurriedly carried back by his people's army, and put it in front of Gao Zilin, Huang Jiayin sprayed several mouthfuls of blood, and shook his head desperately at Gao Zilin. He tilted his head and died of exhaustion.

The Nationalist Army was surrounded on all sides, all roads down the mountain were blocked, and there were less than 3,000 remaining Civilians on the mountain. And the besieging officers and troops at the foot of the mountain have 30,000 or 40,000 people.

With 3,000 people against 30,000 people, unless all of them are martial arts masters like Gao Zilin. Otherwise, 3,000 people will have a chance to break out of the encirclement. Infinitely close to zero.

The situation was so grim that the few remaining generals of the People's Army on the mountain involuntarily surrounded Gao Zilin. Begging to look at Gao Zilin, waiting for the general to guide him to a way out.

At this time, even Gao Zilin himself couldn't help but wonder if the second year of Chongzhen was a passing year for him, and everything was unfavorable? After planning for several years, he finally instigated Zhu Zijian, the son of the king of Han who was ambitious and talented, to embark on the road of rebellion, and for this reason, Gao Zilin did not hesitate to take out all the family funds that Wenxiang Sect had worked hard to accumulate. The way of rebellion was quite smooth at first, and more than a dozen people's troops successfully met in Hanzhong Mansion and successfully took Hanzhong Mansion.

Then Xu Liang's Liang army killed him, and as soon as he made a move, he killed one of his generals, Wang Daliang, known as the king of Liang. Zhu Zijian was forced to withdraw from Hanzhong Mansion. After all, Gao Yingxiang and Huang Ziren returned to the army in time to rescue, Gao Zilin himself seriously injured Xu Liang, and the Liang army retreated, but Huang Ziren had more soldiers and generals, and his mind was too lively, so he actually killed Zhu Zijian, and strongly asked Huang Ziren to be the general of the people's army.

Well, for the sake of the great cause of rebellion, Gao Zilin endured. pinched his nose and admitted Huang Ziren's superiority.

Huang Ziren also fought for strength, led the army to attack Fengxiang Mansion, defeated the army of Wu Zhiwang, the former governor of the three sides, and successfully captured Fengxiang Mansion, and by the way, the official army in Shaanxi Province was dying.

Huang Ziren was full of pride, and Gao Zilin and Gao Yingxiang were also very happy. Huang Ziren gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and slaughtered under Pingliang City with great momentum, preparing to give the final blow to the official army.

It almost was! If it weren't for the dozens of flying eagle cannons that suddenly appeared on the upper floor of Pingliang City.

Thirty-six flying eagle cannons bombarded the city tower, and the 100,000 people's army was frightened and collapsed. More than half of the elite generals of the People's Army were killed or wounded in this battle, Ye Yanqing died, Gao Yingxiang became the one-eyed king, and although Huang Ziren picked up a life and fled to Shiyao Pass, he was killed by Gao Zilin, who was too disappointed.

And then...... Then, Gao Zilin looked around and saw that there were only a few generals left around him, and there were less than 3,000 soldiers left.

The so-called passing years, probably like this.

Gao Zilin sighed secretly, and couldn't help remembering a person in his mind, it seemed that every turning point in his rebellion was indispensable for Xu Liang to mix in. Gao Zilin hated it so much, if he hadn't met Xu Liang, his rebellion would have been smooth, at least it wouldn't have been so bumpy.

Half a month ago, in Guyuan Yicui Building, he should have stabbed Xu Liang to death with a dagger!

Facing the first dozen pairs of begging eyes, Gao Zilin couldn't bear to chill the ambition of the soldiers to survive. Slowly sweeping over each general, Gao Zilin waved his fist, his clothes fluttering, and said confidently: "Soldiers! Since there is no way back from the mountain, we can only fight to the death. All the soldiers and go back to distribute the dry food, the whole army and soldiers have a full meal, at noon, it is the time when the officers and soldiers are tired, all the soldiers go down the mountain with the general, and the general will lead you to rush out of a way out! ”

"The Great General is mighty!" The generals around him almost have blind confidence and trust in Gao Zilin. Compared with the previous two leaders of the People's Army, Zhu Zijian and Huang Ziren, Gao Zilin can always create miracles and myths.

For example, he went deep into the camp of the official army and cut off the head of a guerrilla general in Guwon Prefecture!

Therefore, the 3,000 soldiers of the People's Army did not make a fire to cook, but each of them was given some dry food, which they ate with shaking water, and quietly assembled, and did not even tear down the tents and stoves in the camp, so as not to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers under the mountain.

In the afternoon of the scorching sun, Gao Zilin looked up at the sky, pulled out the soft sword around his waist, pulled up a Confucian shirt, tied a knot around his waist, and then raised his head, with a rare fierce look on his face, the soft sword pointed down the mountain: "Soldiers, rush with this general!" ”

The 3,000 people's troops responded silently, did not raise flags, did not shout slogans, and all of them were ruthless and murderously followed Gao Zilin and rushed down the mountain.

When the 3,000-strong army rushed halfway up the mountain, the officers and troops under the mountain discovered them, and the gongs sounded, and the officers and generals under the mountain hurriedly organized the army to intercept them.

With the sound of bowstrings, a row of bows and arrows of the official army shot out, and the silent people's army suddenly burst out with a shout: "Kill! Rush out! ”

In the collision between the two armies, there was no skill to speak of, and the two killing machines of the people's army and the official army collided fiercely together, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams were repeated.

When the people's army was attacking, Luo Rucai, the vanguard of the Liang army, was receiving Lord Xu Liangxu, the prefect of Pingliang, and Sima Qiudao, the owner of the artillery battalion, who came from afar.

Listening to the sound of fighting outside, Luo Rucai didn't care at first, and said to Xu Liang with a smile: "Don't care, adults, after the people's army on the mountain was surrounded by us, every day there were a group of people who were not afraid of death who wanted to go down the mountain and rush to the camp, in a vain attempt to rush down the mountain." As a result, nothing was accomplished except to leave a dead body in the ground. ”

Xu Liang nodded with a smile, listened attentively, and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "This time it seems that the impact is a bit strong, General Luo, are you getting closer and closer when you listen to this shouting and killing?" ”

"Huh?" Luo Rucai burst into laughter, and was about to send someone out to find out, but the door of the camp tent was knocked open, and a Liang army sentry officer covered in blood rushed in, stumbled in front of Xu Liang and Luo Rucai, and said anxiously: "Lord Xu, General Luo, the people's army on the mountain is rushing to the camp, and the forward can no longer resist." ”

Luo Rucai was shocked and asked, "How many enemies are there?" ”

"No less than 3,000 ......"

Luo Rucai didn't wait for the sentry to finish speaking, he rushed past him and rushed out of the tent, drew his sword outside the tent and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, assemble!" ”

When Xu Liang and Sima Qiudao walked out of the camp tent, they saw that the people's army all over the mountains had broken through the blockade of the Liang army, and was tearing up the Liang army. In an instant, the group of civilians broke through a gap.

Luo Rucai led his subordinates to the Liang army and ran towards this gap.

Xu Liang recognized this Confucian shirt killing god, it was Gao Zilin, the general of the People's Army, the despicable villain who had secretly injured himself on the tower of Hanzhong City! (To be continued......)
