By the time Yang Mantang came back to his senses, Wu Xi and the military advisor Zhang Xiansong had disappeared. Mo Liuming volunteered and said, "King, I'll go after Wu Xi and bring his head to you!" ”

Yang Mantang wiped the dust on his face, stopped and said, "Forget it, our purpose this time is to let this court eagle dog know how powerful this king is, and teach Wu Xi a lesson." ”

"No." Mo Liunan bowed his hand, and then led his subordinates to kill the officers and soldiers. After a bloody battle, the rebels killed more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, won a complete victory, and almost completely annihilated the pursuing Song army.

Wu Xi, who was proud of his rival, suffered a defeat in Dagu Mountain, and led the remnants of the defeated army to run all the way back to Wuyang Town, appeased the envoy when he heard the news, and "rewarded" him with thirty military sticks.

Wu Xi, who was beaten to the ground, lay down on his wounds in the army, and after thinking about it for half a month, he suddenly realized: Why not learn from Yang Mantang, and also recruit Miao, Yao, and Dong natives as soldiers to defeat the enemy with the enemy?

So he wrote to the imperial court, asking the emperor to allocate silver taels and grain and grass, train a Song army with indigenous people as the main body, clean up Yang Mantang and others, and end the war as soon as possible.

After Song Gaozong received the setback, he did not hesitate to approve Wu Xi's plan, and issued an edict ordering Wu Xi to train a new army as soon as possible, and to destroy Yang Zaixing's rebel army within three years.

After receiving the order of the imperial court, he recruited a group of brave and aggressive indigenous soldiers who were familiar with the terrain and practiced day and night, although Yang Zaixing provoked everywhere, Wu Xi endured them one by one and did not fight.

In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), Xi Yi, the pacification envoy of Hunan, learned that the recruits had been trained, and specially came to Wuyang to inspect. On the school field, Xi Yi inspected Wu Xi's troops, was very satisfied, and said: "With such desperate soldiers, the thief Kou Yang Zaixing will be captured by you." ”

"Thanks to your praise, you will be able to capture the head of the thieves within the year!" Wu Xi clasped his fists and saluted.

"Good. How much weapons, food, and grass are needed, and the envoy will allocate them to you. ”

"No. The staff of this matter has already made a roster and handed it over to the adults. ”……

Wuyang Qi is located in the northeast of Suining County, is an important military town, about 90 miles away from Changpu Town, east to Baiyu, west to Fengmutuan, south to Guanxia, north to Lixi Town, Tangjiafang, a total area of 177 square kilometers. The territory is half of the mountains and half hilly, the central and northeast are mostly small hills and flatlands, the southeast and northwest borders are surrounded by high mountains, and the main river is the Wuyang River.

With such a geographical advantage, it was not easy for the rebels to attack it. The artillery and rockets of the Song army were enough to deter the peasant army on flat ground, and Yang Zaixing tried to destroy this Song stronghold many times, but the defense was too strong, so he had to give up.

There is this new armed force with Miao Min as the main force, and the opportunity for Wu Xixian to turn over is coming. Wu Xi adopted the guerrilla warfare method of small groups, which avoided the danger of over-concentration, crowding, and trampling on each other in the mountainous areas.

With the ability of the indigenous soldiers to be familiar with the terrain of the mountains and forests, those passes are easy to ambush, and Wu Xi is clear, so the probability of the officers and soldiers being plotted is greatly reduced. The officers and soldiers took the initiative to attack, looking for fighters, and the rebels appeared to be very passive.

Wu Xi killed and wounded the peasant army in the hundreds, and the peasant army with considerable losses had to move to the defensive stage, and Wu Xi's prestige in the Song army on the Hunan Road became higher and higher.

Yang Zaixing understood that it was no longer possible to continue to fight guerrilla warfare, and Guanxia was also controlled by the official army, so he concentrated all his troops and wanted to fight a decisive battle with Wu Xi. Six thousand rebels rushed to Guanxia, wanting to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to seize Wuyang.

Who knew that Wu Xi guessed Yang Zaixing's calculations, he divided his troops into two routes, one stayed in Wuyang to support Guanxia, and all the way from the Fengmu Realm Post Road to the south of Guanxia through Shankou, Xiyan, Shanfang and other places. This move, Yang Zaixing did not expect. When thousands of officers and soldiers appeared behind the rebel army and suddenly attacked, Yang Zaixing shouted that he was deceived.

Seeing that reinforcements were coming to help in the battle, the defenders of Guanxia attacked with heavy losses, and desperately fought their way out of a bloody way and retreated to the southwest. After Yang Zaixing was defeated by Wu Xi, he chased hundreds of miles and burned dozens of Yang's camps. But Yang Zaixing was not caught, Wu Xi was not angry, continued to march south, entered Shangguan Village in Chengbu Village, and captured Yang Zaixing's two fourteen or fifteen-year-old grandsons.

Wu Xi actually grabbed Yang Zaixing's weakness crookedly, Yang Zaixing was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, he would throw himself into the net if he went back, and his little grandson might be executed at any time if he didn't go back.

The general Dong Pufei saw that Yang Zaixing was hesitant, so he recommended himself: "Wang, I know Shangguan Village very well, or should I go rescue the child?" ”

Yang Zaixing said: "If this king doesn't go, it will be difficult for you to succeed, there are too many people, and you will startle the snake." ”

Dong Pufei said: "King, then I will take a hundred elite soldiers and sneak into the village at night to kill them by surprise." ”

Yang Zaixing said: "That's the only way, this king must go, don't kill Wu Xi, I am ashamed to be the queen of Feishan Gong!" ”

So Yang Zaixing, Dong Pufei and others hurriedly set off with iron hooks and weapons, and it was nearly dusk when they arrived at Shangguan Village. But I saw more than 3,000 Song soldiers gathered in the village, one by one in armor, black and pressing, and also carried firearms and equipment, if they attacked, the officers and soldiers would take the child as a hostage, in vain, not only could not save the child, maybe hundreds of lives had to be put in.

Dong Pufei divided the people into three teams, one team stayed outside the village to respond, one team waited for the night to sneak into the village to create chaos, and the third team waited for the opportunity to enter the village and snatch out the children.

Night finally fell, and the Song troops of the brigade patrolled back and forth, without a chance to enter the village. Yang Zaixing was impatient and planned to break in.

Dong Pufei stopped him: "At present, I don't know where the child is, so if I attack rashly, wouldn't it be in vain to die?" ”

The invincible young master said: "King, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." The king is waiting for us outside the village, and the good news is. ”

Yang Zaixing said: "Isn't this king greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is necessary to rescue the children and widows, and no one in the village is more familiar with the situation than this king." ”

Zhuge Twilight said: "Since this is the case, then please ask the king to lead the way." But I don't know where the child is. ”

The invincible young master said: "If you want to find out the location, you have to catch a Song Jun and ask." ”

Dong Pufei said: "Just leave this matter to me, invincible young master, I'll come when I go." ”

Zhuge Twilight said: "Now the time has not come, don't act recklessly, wait for Song Jun to fall asleep before acting." ”

The invincible young master said: "After the child is rescued, Dong Pufei will lead you to break the queen." ”

Dong Pufei said: "Okay." The horses were under a tree 500 meters outside the village. ”

So Yang Zaixing and more than 100 others hid outside the village, quietly observing the movements of the Song army, and time flowed minute by minute.

When the hour came, the lights of the Song army's camp were all extinguished in turn, and only one place was still on. The patrol team patrolled outside the camp from time to time, and Dong Pufei and the invincible young master entered the village.

Soon they arrested a Song soldier and interrogated them one by one, and learned that the child was locked up in the Yang ancestral hall, and the security was not very strict. The invincible young master knocked Song Jun unconscious with one punch, sealed his mouth with a stinky sock, and tied him under a maple tree outside the village.

Zhuge Twilight led a team of people and was responsible for setting fire to the Song army camp. In Russia, the fire in the village was soaring, and the fire burned more and more fiercely with the wind, "crackling" and whirring.

Then the Song army was awakened, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he rushed out of the tent, carrying water and carrying branches to put out the fire, and the scene was very chaotic.

Dong Pufei and the invincible young master followed Yang Zaixing to the ancestral hall, and only a dozen or so Song soldiers were guarding outside the ancestral hall, and this Wu Xi was too careless. Dong Pufei made a gesture to open the bow left and right, and the death squad stepped forward and neatly ended the lives of those Song soldiers.

But the door of the ancestral hall was locked by a general's lock, and the sound of breaking in was too loud, and the invincible young master said: "Such a trivial matter, I will come." "In less than a minute, the general's lock was opened.

Everyone entered the ancestral hall, the light in the ancestral hall was dim, the two candles of the shrine were almost burned, and the two children in the corner were tied to chairs, their faces were pale, and they were already asleep.

Dong Pufei and the invincible young master untied the rope, and the child woke up, and was about to open his mouth to shout, so frightened that they hurriedly covered the child's mouth: "Shhhh ”

The child immediately understood that these people were not Song Jun, and stopped talking.

"It's not good to stay here, let's go!" Dong Pufei and the invincible young master withdrew from the ancestral hall with the child on their backs.

The invincible young master carried Yang Xiaoer on his back and ran like flying, Dong Pufei carried Yang Xiaosan on his back, and he couldn't keep up. When the group arrived under the big tree outside the village, the moonlight was dimly visible, and they helped the child behind the horse, but they did not see Yang Zaixing.

A few minutes later, Zhuge Twilight's team also arrived and said, "It's not good, I forgot to tell the king that this mission is to save people, not to seek revenge on Wu Xi." ”

Dong Pufei said: "Invincible young master, you and the military advisor will take the child away quickly, and I will pick up the king." ”

"Take care! Phineas. "The invincible young master and Zhuge Twilight took the child and ran wildly towards the southeast mountain......

Yang Zaixing led his subordinates into the Chinese military tent, and the camp tent was empty. Yang Zaixing learned that Wu Xi was setting up an "empty city plan" and ordered to evacuate.

Wu Xi held the torch, led the troops to intercept Yang Zaixing, and sneered: "Thief, I know you too well." The reason why I caught the child was that I knew that you would come to save it. I wanted to sell you a favor and make you retreat. I didn't expect you to rush into the camp to assassinate General Ben, the sin is unforgivable. ”

"You dog official, despicable means, using children as bait, what kind of hero are you!" Yang Zaixing scolded with a gun.

"General Ben doesn't fight with your tongue. Brothers, give it to me! Those who capture Yang Zaixing alive will be rewarded with 500 yuan! Wu Xi shouted.

There will be brave men under the great reward. Although many of these Song soldiers are natives of Miao, Yao, and Dong, they have also heard that Yang Zaixing is dedicated to serving the people, but after entering Wu Xi and completely brainwashing, they all recognize money and do not recognize people.

One by one, as if crazy, they cut off the heads of the rebels. Yang Zaixing led his subordinates to kill a batch, and rushed up again, showing no signs of retreating.
