"Speaking of the alliance leader, I want to see Lu Bing's head, I saw Lu Bing once from afar some time ago, although this person is an enemy general, but he is a hero. I was spotted by him, and he rushed after me on a single horse, and I almost lost my life at the hands of this man's sword. Thanks to the courage of the guards beside me, it took hundreds of people to stop Lu Bing, and Lu Bing chased me alone, one enemy was a hundred, and more than half of my 100 elite guards were killed and wounded, and Lu Bingzhen was the god of war. Wei Yinbao said.

Lin Yinhan also nodded: "You don't have to be ambitious to destroy your prestige, but that's the truth, what we agreed before was to cut off Lu Bing's head and make you the leader of the alliance, I, Lin Yinhan, put a word here, if you take out Lu Bing's head, I don't care what the alliance leader is, I will be the first to stand up and support you." ”

Wang Zhenhu rubbed his non-existent eyebrows and said, "Wei Yinbao, you have ill intentions, why didn't you say that you had seen Lu Bing before." Lu Bingwuyong is well known, but before the previous confrontation, I also said that this is just a boast of the Han people, but the reality is true, why didn't you say it earlier. Lu Bing is such a fierce person, if he wants to escape, where can I be trapped, don't you say that you want his head to embarrass me? If you don't say it earlier, let me prepare early, so if something goes wrong, the blame is also on you. ”

Wei Yinbao sneered: "So you defeated the enemy village, but you never killed Lu Bing?" Hehe, in that case, according to the preconditions of the alliance leader, it will not be established, and I will resign. Wei Yinbao stood up and wanted to go out of the tent as he spoke, Wang Zhenhu took the case and shouted: "Stop me!" ”

"What? Want to get your hands dirty! Wei Yinbao didn't want his fists to crackle, and said viciously.

Wang Zhenhu said: "Wei Yinbao." Why is he so young and angry, I am much older than you in terms of age, and I am a few years older than Brother Yinhan. At the same time, it is not as old as Brother Wei Chaofeng, so it can be said that he is in the prime of life. Wheel credit, originally the four of us were about the same, but now in this battle, I lost 10,000 people to repel the commander of the Ming army, and the loss was the heaviest. ”

Wei Yinbao snorted coldly and said, "I don't care about this. You have died a lot, because you are incompetent, it's none of my business, in short, I didn't see Lu Bing's head. I will not recognize your status. After Wei Yinbao finished speaking, he turned his head and left, and the halberd Lang Zhong and the guards outside the door raised their blades to stop Wei Yinbao, Wang Zhenhu glared angrily, just afraid that Wei Yinbao would be surrounded and killed if he gave an order.

Wei Chaofeng suddenly said at this time: "Wei Yinbao is the son of the modern leader Wei Chaowei. Wei Chaowei is my brother and the spiritual leader of our Gutian Righteous Army. is also a glorious pioneer of the rebel army, Brother Chaowei unfortunately died in battle, and you even want to kill his orphan. If you kill him today, even if you kill me and Yinhan, what can you do? Looking at it, who will support you in the Gutian Righteous Army, I think that when the time comes, your head will only be worth more than Lu Bing's. Yes, you can be king for a while. But this king will not last long. Brother Zhenhu, the generals under the Silver Leopard are not vegetarians. Don't be a person inside and outside at that time, and end up alone and fleeing the consequences of chasing and killing, you can see how to do it yourself. ”

Wang Zhenhu knew that he couldn't kill Wei Yinbao like this, and if he wanted to kill him, he had to see him on the battlefield in the bright light, so he could only sigh and wave his hand to let the soldiers retreat, Wei Yinbao glanced at Wang Zhenhu and turned his head and left. Wang Zhenhu was in a dilemma, he only blamed himself for being in a hurry, and also scolded Wei Yinbao for not being trustworthy, it is true that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, everyone stands from a different angle, so the things they see are also different.

Wang Zhenhu knows very well that today's enmity between himself and Wei Yinbao is over, although Wei Yinbao will not counterattack him, but he also doubts that he will definitely not cooperate closely with him, and if he dies and does not save him, he will definitely come to support. Hey, what the hell is I doing this time, it's just thankless. Wei Chaofeng sneered twice, clenched his fists and bowed a few polite words, and then left.

After a while, the soldiers came with the news that Wei Yinbao and Wei Chaofeng had taken away the elite that had been lent to Wang Zhenhu. Wang Zhenhu angrily dropped a bowl and said angrily: "Treacherous and shameless villain!" ”

"Brother Zhenhu, I don't support you to be the king now, because it will destroy the peace in the rebel army," Lin Yinhan said, Wang Zhenhu's face sank and he was about to speak, but Lin Yinhan stretched out his hand to stop Wang Zhenhu's words and continued: "But I will stand behind you until you recover your previous strength, this time you have paid a lot, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you are a meritorious person, at least you have defeated the Ming army and occupied their camp, giving us unparalleled confidence in the rebel army." So I, Lin Yinhan, am willing to do my best under your command for the time being, General Wang! Lin Yinhan stood up, put his right hand on his chest and said.

Wang Zhenhu sighed and said, "Good brother, you are a kind person." ”

—————————————————————————————————————

The imperial court's soldiers and horses in Guangxi shrank their battle lines, as if they were really scared of being killed by Wang Zhenhua. For a while, Wang Zhenhu's momentum was great, and his soldiers and horses were seriously damaged, but with the help of Lin Yinhan, Wang Zhenhu re-raised the banner, just as Lin Yinhan said, everyone's confidence increased greatly, and Wang Zhenhu recovered his strength, not to mention that it was even higher.

The shadow of the famous tree of people, the prestige of Lu Bing, the general of the Great Ming Dragon Shadow, was spread, so many stragglers and small groups of rebels defected to Wang Zhenhu's account, hoping to follow such gods and generals to make a name. Wei Yinbao and Wei Chaofeng were in a wait-and-see state, and the two families supported each other in horns, and they had the potential to form an alliance, and they fought against Wang Zhenhu in the Gutian Righteous Army.

After three months of recruitment, Wang Zhenhu quickly recovered his former vitality, without adding Lin Yinhan's subordinates has reached 50,000 people, and at the same time he is not thin on Lin Yinhan, and he no longer puts on a shelf and takes a posture, but sits on an equal footing with Lin Yinhan, and the two of them have the final say.

Is Lu Bing really scared? Naturally not. Although Wang Zhenhu's attack was fierce, although Lu Bing chose to retreat, it was nothing more than an expedient measure, Lu Bing was a fierce general who had experienced life and death several times, what was this point of fighting, and his strong ability was even a one-man enemy. can also kill seven in and seven out.

However, what we are facing now is not the problem of a few in and a few out, but the matter of defeating the enemy, and it will be useless to change it for a long time. The army is out. It was all the blood and sweat of the people and the food of the country, not to mention that the war situation in the northwest was also unstable, and although Ordos and Annan were quickly pacified, they already had a small force to resist and fell into a state of sporadic fighting. A spark can set the prairie on fire, Lu Bing doesn't dare to underestimate it, and he can't afford to be involved with them, if he doesn't hurry up to pacify the Gutian rebels, he doesn't know where the road will be ignited by Mars, and since then there have been wars.

Since it is impossible to exterminate the rebels at once. If you need to fight for a long time, you might as well play a big game of chess, Lu Bing realized that he was in a hurry at first. Where is it that the Gutian rebels, who have been rebelling for several generations, can be completely wiped out so easily. All the contradictions are not only in the official system of the Ming Dynasty but also in the differences between the nation, since this is the case, then the way of others is to govern others.

Lu Bing already had some ideas about this strategy, but no one who was familiar with the local people's conditions and had the same resourcefulness could follow the train of thought to help Lu Bing sort it out. Guangxi is home to a multi-ethnic group. Most of the Gutian rebels were mainly Zhuang. Other ethnic groups are supplemented, which creates a difference between the majority and the minority, which creates ethnic and religious contradictions, and this is where this can be exploited.

The original local overseer Cai Jing finally arrived late, it turned out that Cai Jing's mother was seriously ill after taking office, Cai Jing was busy with filial piety but contracted the epidemic, hearing Lu Bing's call Cai Jing hurriedly went to the battlefield to serve the country, but on the way he was sick for a long time and almost died on the road, so it was too late.

Lu Bing played with the teacup in his hand and asked, "Cai Jing." Whether it is possible to use the local strength to balance the Gutian rebels, our imperial court soldiers and horses only left more than 10,000 people to assist and defend. Let them kill each other, and I will reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

"It's not impossible, there were also precedents in the previous dynasties, as early as the beginning of Emperor Taizu Gao's unification of the world, he used the local people to assist in governance. In the second year of orthodoxy, the imperial court began to use local mercenaries to suppress bandits. More than ten years later, during the Jingtai period, this has become the norm, but problems have arisen at the same time. Cai Jing said, coughing violently as he spoke.

Lu Bing frowned slightly and asked, "Is your body okay?" ”

"My subordinate General Xie cares, my body is fine, and I only need a few more days of recuperation to recover." Cai Jing said, Lu Bing nodded and said, "Then tell me what the problem will be, right?" ”

Cai Jing hugged his fists and replied yes, and then said: "The so-called local regimental training here in Guangxi is called wolf soldiers, and after forming a certain scale, it will not only be used to suppress local bandits, but also sent to the southeast coast to fight against the Japanese invaders. During the Zhengde period of the previous dynasty, the wolf soldiers were withdrawn by Emperor Wuzong. The reason is that there was an incident back then, the wolf soldiers sent to Jiangxi to suppress bandits disobeyed military discipline, burned, killed, captured and plundered our Ming people, and the disaster was even worse than the wokos. The wolf soldiers are extremely combative, not much different from the rebels, and the people here are naturally belligerent, and everyone is a natural fighter. The adults have also fought a lot with this group of Gutian rebels, with all due respect, the soldiers and generals on the side of the court are well-equipped, and they are the main soldiers and horses of the five major battalions of the imperial court and the garrisons in various places, and there are even hundreds of elite soldiers brought by adults. I saw it on the next road, and the adults' hundred refined elite soldiers are really extraordinary, each of them is a good soldier with one as ten, and what is even more rare is that they are disciplined and obey orders. ”

"However, in all fairness, if the rebels are also equipped with the corresponding equipment, not to mention that they are on par with the elite soldiers of the hundred refinements, or on par with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, will the adults still sit here?" Cai Jing turned his words around and said, after speaking, he stood there and stopped talking, these words were not unhappy in Cai Jing's heart, but this is equivalent to telling Lu Bing nakedly, you have been tossing around for a long time and have not taken advantage of the enemy, it is purely useless, it is not as good as when I Cai Jing is here. Therefore, it was not that I was incompetent and useless to anyone who came, but it was not as peaceful as when I was there.

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu called Cai Jing's words with a smile, and said, "Cai Tingyi, Cai Tingyi, you are really outspoken." That's right, I did underestimate the Gutian rebels, I invested the most troops, but I didn't take advantage of it at all, this is the truth, you don't have to be afraid. I Lu Bing still have this amount of tolerance, indeed, this group of rebels fought bravely, even if the weapons are backward, many soldiers do not even have iron weapons, but they can meet the enemy and win the siege, and the combat effectiveness is very amazing. It is conceivable that if they are equipped with established equipment, they will be invincible. You're right, you're really right. ”

"What the general said is extremely true," Cai Jing said, "This is why the imperial court was so fond of recruiting wolf soldiers before." But in the same way, they are barbaric and disobedient, even in Guangxi, they will take the opportunity to enter the towns and plunder the local people, and the slaughter of cities and villages is a common thing. ”

"That's why the first emperor withdrew the wolf soldiers, right?" Lu Bing stroked his chin and said, saying Zhu Houzhao, Lu Bing's heart had a trace of affection. (To be continued......)
