General B said: "While everyone still has a little strength, they can move and keep our vital strength, there is still hope." ”

General C said: "Dashuai, don't hesitate any longer, we will be made dumplings when it is late." ”

Yang Zhengheng said: "Don't say more, if you want to leave, you have to wait until tomorrow." "In the camp, the soldiers are all yellow and thin, although they are in a good state of mind.

The sun shone lazily on the banks of the Sanluodi River, without a breeze, and the camp was quiet.

"Rush—"

Suddenly, the shouts shook the sky, and a large number of red turban troops appeared out of nowhere, and there were at least 30,000 of them, surround the Yang family's camp.

Countless cold arrows were fired at the camp, and the soldiers who were hit by the arrows quickly fell to the ground and died. Sporadic artillery fire destroyed the walled gate, and the Red Turban Army came in.

"Zhu Yuming, you lead a group to break through from the back camp, and I will stop the thieves!" Yang Zhengheng got on the war horse with a gun and led 10,000 Miao soldiers to kill the Red Turban Army.

I saw that where his Yang family's big gun slashed, the Red Turban Army knocked down a large area. The Miao army and the enemy fought together, and after the first round, Yang Zhengheng counted the men and horses, and there were more than 8,000 people. The enemy was a little frightened, and under the supervision of one of the leaders, he pressed again.

"Brothers, the time has come to serve the court, and we have to fight our way out." Yang Zhengheng charged forward and killed hundreds of people with a gun. However, the soldiers were hungry and their combat effectiveness was seriously damaged, and the Red Turban Army could not finish killing them.

After three rounds of killing, the casualties of the Red Turban Army far exceeded the soldiers of the Yang family, but these red-eyed Red Turban Army showed no sign of retreating. On the other side, the thousands of men and horses led by Zhu Yuming and the most ferocious Yue people were strangled together, and the strong desire to survive still supported them to fight their way out of the encirclement.

Zhu Yuming rushed out of the encirclement, saw that the commander was still fighting in the camp, and said to his subordinates: "You go first, I'll save the marshal!" ”

Yang Tongtai stopped him: "Uncle wants us to leave, and he has his own arrangements." Now there are about 200 of us, and we will die if we go back. ”

Zhu Yuming said: "The marshal is under siege, can we just bear to leave him?" ”

Yang Tongtai said: "This time, my uncle is afraid that he will have to sacrifice his life for the country, and the enemy behind will soon catch up." He dismounted and knelt on the ground, bowed three times, and then flew on his horse and Zhu Yuming took the remaining men and horses to the northeast.

The blades of all the soldiers were cut off, and the Red Turban Army was still rushing forward in waves, killing the red eyes one by one. There are fewer and fewer soldiers around Yang Zhengheng, the sun will soon set, and the bloody sunset will cover the sky. After killing for two hours, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and there were less than a hundred people left in the Miao army.

The general leader of the Red Turban Army appeared at the gate of the camp on horseback, and he shouted: "General Yang, I think you are a great hero, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we will let you be our deputy commander regardless of the previous suspicions, how about it?" ”

Yang Zhengheng said: "My men and horses have almost been killed by you, what else is there to talk about." ”

The chief leader said: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, you killed me more than 20,000 with 10,000 horses, and I admire your bravery." Let me tell you the truth, the dog officer in Guilin deliberately did not send troops, and he informed us a long time ago and borrowed our hands to get rid of you, so you don't expect them to come to the rescue. ”

Yang Zhengheng said: "I'd rather break the jade than be complete, I will not surrender to Xianger and other traitors." ”

The chief leader said: "I've said everything to this, don't embarrass me." Emperor Tianwan understood the righteousness and told me to be sure to persuade the old hero to be used by me. ”

Yang Zhengheng said: "I'm sorry, I'll be friends with you again in the next life." Kill—"

He continued to fight with the Yang family's gun, and was hit by countless arrows, blood soaked through his battle robes, and those personal soldiers were all shot by bows and arrows soaked in venom one by one, and the corpses in the camp were piled up.

Yang Zhengheng used his last strength to throw the Yang family's big gun at the general leader of the Red Turban Army, and the head of the spear hit the horse's back, only a millimeter away from the general leader, which startled him into a cold sweat, and the other Red Turban soldiers hurriedly fired poisoned arrows at Yang Zhengheng.

"Don't let the arrows go unt, don't let the arrows go-"

The chief leader was too late to stop it, and Yang Zhengheng was hit by countless arrows and died of poison.

Poor Yang Zhengheng Hero I, was killed by a traitor and died at the hands of thieves, this so-called "die before leaving the school, and make the hero full of tears", it is not like this.

Yang Zhengheng, the right man of Huguang, fought a decisive battle with the Red Turban Army in the battlefield of western Guangdong, because of the deliberate difficulties of the imperial court and the victimization of traitors, and died heroically. When the news reached the large army of the Miao army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they all shed tears and were filled with righteous indignation, and Yang Tongguan felt that an invisible net was shrouded in the sky above the Yang family's general group, and this net was sometimes closed and sometimes loosened.

The tragic death of his father Yang Zhengheng made Yang Tongguan very sad, but he was helpless. Yang Tongguan and his second brother Yang Tongpu still did not see through the sinister intentions of the imperial court to kill people with knives, and the future of the Miao army in Chengbu Village was uncertain.

The Yuan court has always adopted an attitude towards the Yang family generals, and the Yang family generals defeated the Red Turban Army, and the court was able to continue to exist, which can be contained for various reasons; If the Yang family is eaten by the Red Turban Army, it will just remove the big trouble and cut off the threat of local forces to the central government.

In the thirteenth year of Zhizheng (1353), Yang Tongguan led the main force of the Miao army of 50,000 horses down the Yangtze River. This place was an important stronghold of Liu Futong's Great Song Dynasty, and if it was recovered, it would inevitably deal a heavy blow to Liu Futong's Red Turban Army.

Aslan said: "General Yang, the thief Liu Futong is in high morale, according to Luzhou for a long time, he should be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

Yang Tongguan said: "Our army is coming from afar, people are sleepy and tired, and we need to rest for a few days, and the enemy situation in Luzhou is not yet known, so we should not attack rashly." ”

Yang Tongpu said: "What the third brother said is extremely true. Lord Pingzhang is earnest in his meritorious service, divorced from reality, and disregards the life and death of our army, and we cannot agree with it. ”

Aslan said: "The two generals have always acted cautiously and are not alarmed. The Miao army has been away from Wuchang for a long time, and it has not tasted the record of annihilating the Red Turban Army in a big way, and this battle of Luzhou must listen to me, and attack the city at night. ”

Yang Tongguan said: "Lord Pingzhang, are you taking the lives of tens of thousands of my soldiers as a child's play?" Luzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are tens of thousands of thieves, and it is Liu Liu, the younger brother of Liu Futong, who is in charge, there is no perfect strategy, you and I have to be captured by them. ”

Yang Tongpu said: "The thief leader Liu Liu is scheming, and if we are not careful, we will die without a place to be buried." ”

Aslan said: "Are the two generals going to disobey today?" ”

Yang Tongguan said: "Don't dare." It's just that Lord Pingzhang is too arbitrary, and it's hard for us to obey our fate. ”

Aslan was furious: "Then don't you hurry up and prepare, the sun is going to set, when will you wait?" ”

Yang Tongguan said: "Lord Pingzhang don't be impatient, wait tomorrow to find out what the thieves in Luzhou City are doing, and it doesn't hurt to try again." ”......

Aslan no longer insisted on going his own way, and expressed his approval of Yang Tongguan's approach, so the Miao army was stationed ten miles away from Luzhou City.

The next day, Aslan was still asleep. Outside the barracks, there was a lot of noise, and it was noisy, which upset Aslan. He walked out of the tent to see what was going on. It turned out that the Yang Tongguan brothers were appeasing the rebels who came to take refuge.

Yang Tongguan said: "Everyone, your sincerity Yang has understood, but I have to discuss this matter with Lord Pingzhang." ”

When Aslan heard this, she was very happy: "Damn, before the battle started, so many thieves came to surrender, which song is this?" ”

He quickened his pace, opened the crowd, walked to the gate of the camp, and said to Yang Tongguan with a smile: "What else are you discussing?" Zhu Yuming, do a good job in the settlement of the personnel who accept the surrender. ”

After the first battle in western Guangdong, Zhu Yuming led 200 troops to find a large army with great difficulty, and wanted to avenge Yang Zhengheng. These sudden Red Turban soldiers surrendered to the truth, he had a high level of vigilance, he whispered a few words in front of Aslan, and Aslan kept nodding. Aslan and Yang Tongguan retreated dozens of steps into the camp, and the two simply exchanged views on the matter of surrender.

Yang Tongguan also knew very well that the more he was at this time, the calmer he became: "Offended, everyone." According to the procedure, you must lay down your arms and enter our garrison in turn to prevent disturbances. ”

The leader of the Red Turban Army who surrendered to Cheng was silent for a while, raised his right hand, and motioned for everyone to put down the weapons in their hands: "General Yang has promised to take us in, so don't embarrass him, listen to my orders, and follow General Yang's words." So more than 10,000 Red Turban soldiers lifted the weapons they carried with them one by one, and waited quietly for Yang Tongguan to open the camp gate empty-handed.

Zhu Yuming led 5,000 warriors, dressed in perseverance and perseverance, displayed in the barracks, and welcomed these newcomers with the most majestic special etiquette.

After all the Red Turban Army entered, Yang Tongguan began to lecture: "Everyone, since you have the sincerity to defect to our army, you must be strict with yourself everywhere, do not disturb the people's livelihood, do not be greedy for life and fear of death, and must not be half-hearted. Do you understand? ”

"Got it! The general is mighty, the general is mighty! The Red Turbans shouted.

Aslan said: "Now the saint wants to implement a new policy, but his luck is not good, and he is an official who eats the people and robbers. The Yang family will be loyal and patriotic, and he is a model for my Dayuan. You have come to join the Yang family army today, and I thank you here! ”

"There is a good official like my lord who asks for the people's life, and I will swear to follow my lord and General Yang to the death!" The leader of the Red Turban Army said.

"I'll follow Lord Yang and General Yang to the death—"

The Red Turban Army was scattered in various departments, and under the control of the generals of the Yang family, the Red Turban Army had no objections. The incorporation of the Red Turban Army was smoothly settled, and the Yang family increased the number of the group to nearly 80,000, and Liu Liu, who was in Luzhou City, was very frightened when he learned that his elite group had defected to Yang Tongguan. However, he has no intention of surrendering, he has to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from his eldest brother Liu Futong, and give Yang Tongguan a hard lesson.
