The moon is in the sky.

In the middle of the night, the wind blew the leaves of the trees, and a man walked unhurriedly along the road with his arm raised, and on his arm stood a black crow, whose eyes were black but glowed green.

The crow looks docile and does not bark when it combs its dark feathers with its beak.

A bonfire was lit outside the tent, and a soldier ran outside a tent and coughed softly.

The curtain was lifted to reveal a human head, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier bent down and put his hand to the man's ear and said, "He just sneaked out and didn't know where he was going." ”

Yang Ruofeng nodded and said, "Okay, I know, don't tell the general yet, I'll take a look." ”

Yang Ruofeng put on his clothes and disappeared into the darkness.

The mountain trail, the surroundings are quiet, only the footsteps of the man in black.

"Gah! Ga! ”

The crow on his arm suddenly crowed, flapped its wings and flew into the tree.

The man in black whistled and the crow flew down from the branch again, he touched the crow's feathers and said, "Wait a little longer......"

The crow on his arm fell silent, and he continued on until he saw a cave go in.

Inside the cave was a man tied to a prisoner of war captured yesterday.

The prisoner of war was asleep, but suddenly as if he heard something, he opened his eyes and found a vague figure in front of him, his pupils dilated suddenly, and he looked at the man in black with a frightened face.

The man in black approached the prisoner of war while touching the feathers on the crow's body, and said in a friendly tone: "Don't be nervous or afraid, because if you are nervous, the food will easily lose its taste, and I dare not promise to do anything to you when the time comes." ”

The man in black showed two rows of white teeth and smiled, this kind of smile on his originally delicate face would only make people feel sunny and warm, but in the eyes of the prisoner of war, it was particularly hideous, and the veins on the face of the man in black burst out, as if something was swimming inside.

The man in black took out a dagger and slashed it at the face of the prisoner of war, who snorted and gritted his teeth but could not speak.

"Yes, that's what you want...... the man in black dipped his fingers in the blood on the prisoner's face, put it in his mouth and sucked it, and said with an intoxicated look on his face, "You know what? When people are under high stress, the blood flow will accelerate and become active, and the blood will become extra sweet at this time. ”

The prisoners of war looked at the crow with two eyes, not only panic but also despair in their eyes.

"Crow, you're getting more and more cruel." A voice seemed to come from all directions.

A hint of disdain flashed on the crow's face, and he said, "Rat, you're already late." ”

"How can you see such a good show if you are not late?" A man appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

The man was tall, dressed in animal fur and carrying a white fox on his shoulder.

The crow frowned, then lowered his arm, and the crow got off his arm and flew directly to the prisoner of war, who felt only a pain in his eyes and then could not see anything.

The crow pecked out two of the prisoner's eyes, and blood began to gush out of the prisoner's empty eye sockets, and he could only cover his eyes and roll vigorously.

"Go ahead." The beast-clad man touched the white fox's head, and the white fox jumped directly from his shoulder to the ground, and it walked up to the prisoner of war and opened its mouth to bite down on his throat, and then there was the sound of teeth rubbing, as if chewing something particularly chewy.

The crow turned to face the beast-clothed man and said, "What do you want me to do this time, say it." ”

The beast-clad man laughed twice, and then whispered something mysteriously in the crow's ear.

After finishing speaking, the crow stared at him for a few moments, and then said, "No problem, but if you don't do what you promised me, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people when the time comes." ”

After saying that, the crow stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips.

The beast-clothed man smiled: "Of course not, otherwise you wouldn't have found us, would you?" ”

"It was better to do so." The crow said coldly.

The beast-clothed man was not angry, but looked at the crow with deep meaning and said, "But I'm very strange, you really don't want to ......"

The crow interrupted him and said, "I'm not interested, I help you do things and you help me save people, it's that simple." ”

The wind is still blowing.

There are a few stars in the sky.

Yang Ruofeng walked into the cave, and there was a bloody corpse in the cave, but the corpse's eye sockets were empty.

He glanced out of the cave a few times, as if he was making some big decisions.

In December of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the riots in Shaanxi broke out in an all-round way, and Zhu Youzhen began to panic, and at this time the prime minister had already returned to his hometown, seeing that he could not eliminate the peasant army.

Yang Sichang began to release the news, announcing the pardon of Zhang Cunmeng's crimes, and if he surrendered, he would be given an official position, but instead of pardoning the Yellow Tiger, he announced that there was a reward of 10,000 gold for those who could capture the Yellow Tiger and make him a marquis.

In April, the attack should not go down the mountain, and then the attack on Suizhou was defeated. In June, Huang Hu led his troops to attack Nanyang and Xinyang in the east. In July, the Yellow Tiger fell into Yunxi again and went to Xinyang.

Zhu Youzhen ordered Ding Qirui, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, to take over as the superintendent and continue to encircle and suppress the peasant army. Zuo Liangyu, who was watching without a fight, also led his troops to pursue Huanghu, but he failed to escape, and then captured a city by the way.

Winning all the way caused Huang Hu and his entire army to swell, and finally on that day, Yu Luoyang was defeated.

The military tent was lifeless, everyone's faces were pale, and after receiving the news of the defeat, Huang Hu turned the table over and said, "What do I want you to do!" ”

Everyone present did not dare to breathe, and at this moment the crow stood up and said, "General, don't be angry, although the situation is very unfavorable to us now, it is not without a solution. ”

"Tell me about it." For the crow's words, Huang Hu can still listen to it.

The crow said while stroking the crow's feathers on his arm: "Our evacuation from Shaanxi to the Central Plains is equivalent to the migration of the entire army, and now the largest peasant army in Shaanxi is estimated to know that when Li Zicheng is in high spirits, we can first take refuge in him and then recuperate and find the right time to leave." ”

Huang Hu sighed and said: "How can it be so easy, he Li Zicheng is not a good man and a woman, so I am afraid that there will be no Huang Hu in this world." ”

The crow raised his head and smiled: "Although the general can rest assured, the minister has his own way." ”

After that, Huang Hu listened to the crow's plan to join Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng wanted to reorganize his troops into his own troops, Huang Hu was naturally unwilling, and then Li Zicheng had murderous intentions, but he gave up for unknown reasons later.

On the same day, the crows got 500 horsemen from nowhere, and Huanghu and his troops went east from Henan through Anhui.

At this time, Li Zicheng's peasant army was besieging Kaifeng. Inspectors Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu and other main forces of the official army all went north to rescue Kaifeng.

At the end of the year, the crow offered a plan to let the Yellow Tiger take advantage of the trap in Bozhou, enter the UK, Huoshan District, and meet with the "Gezuo Fifth Battalion", which is composed of the five battalions of the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Geli Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, Liu Xiyao, the king of the world, and the chaotic land Wang Lin Yangyang five battalions. From then on, the momentum of the peasant army was revived.

Central Plains Pingchuan.

The cold wind blew like a boning knife on everyone.

In the tent, Huang Hu, Crow, Wang Meng, and Yang Ruofeng pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

During the banquet, Huang Hu got up and said, "Everyone, now that the Central Plains is in the bag, we will set off tomorrow." ”

Yang Ruofeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is the next place?" ”

Wang Meng smashed his mouth and drank a glass of wine, took a hissed breath, put down the wine glass and said: "I have wanted to move for a long time, and during this time, just watching the military advisor play my idle limbs will degenerate." ”

Huang Hu pressed his hand to calm them down, and said: "Tomorrow we will enter Sichuan, although the plain is a place where soldiers must fight, but there are other people on the left and right, according to our current situation, it is a good strategy to enter Sichuan." ”

After Huang Hu finished speaking, Yang Ruofeng looked at the crow next to him, he greeted him with a smile and drank wine with other people.

In the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Hu and his team have been fighting in Sichuan for nearly half a year. At this time, the peasant army was chased by the official army Zuo Liangyu in Huangling City, Kaixian County, Liu Shijie, the general of the left department, and Guo Kaili, the guerrilla army, immediately went to battle, and the peasant army waited for work, and Huang Hu drew out an elite army to go around the rear of the official army to attack. Zuo Liangyu fled, Liu Shijie and Guo Kaili were killed, more than half of the officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, and the peasant army won a complete victory.

Then, Huang Hu followed the crow's suggestion and waved his army out of Sichuan, marching rapidly day and night, and the soldiers pointed directly at central Hubei. When the peasant army arrived in Dangyang, the officers and soldiers stationed there were still asleep.

In February of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Hu led his troops to conquer Xiangyang. Xiangyang was an important military town in the Ming Dynasty, and the military salaries were gathered in the city.

The crow also asked Huanghu to divide 100,000 taels of troops to help the hungry, and put Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, to death. The peasant army was embraced by the common people, and there was thunderous cheering. At this point, Huang Hu completely smashed Yang Sichang's "Four Positive and Six Corners" plan according to the method of the Crow Sect, and completely destroyed his "ten-sided net".

Yang Sichang heard that Huang Hu had waved his army out of Sichuan, and hurriedly fled back to Yichang. In Shashi, he learned that Li Zicheng had broken through Luoyang and killed King Fu, and he knew that the death penalty was inevitable, so he died of fear.

During this time, Yang Ruofeng had been thinking about whether to tell Huang Hu about the scene he saw that night, but after seeing the current situation, he dispelled this idea.

He knew in his heart that if it weren't for the crows who were planning in the back, these people would not have achieved what they are today, and they would not have won many battles and won Xiangyang in one go.

However, he still had suspicions about the crow in his heart, this person was too strange and mysterious, everyone was much older than his peers after all these years of war, but the crow was still the same as the first time he saw him, he seemed to never age, and he always had the crow standing on his arm whenever and wherever he was, it seemed to be able to understand human speech, and it was still full of vitality after so many years.

And every point in time, the crow will go to a hidden place to meet a man in animal clothes, they are afraid of each other but cooperate with each other, but no one knows what their relationship is.

Late at night, it was as if it had been splashed with ink.

"What you said is true?" Yellow Tiger turned to stare at the crow.

The crow nodded with a smile and said, "Naturally, it's true, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people want to get the Yin Soldier Talisman, but they don't know that the Yin Soldier Talisman can only be controlled by the real powerful." ”

Huang Hu is not a reckless man, although it is true that his power has developed so fast over the years, and a few people who may have come this far are fools.

The corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled: "Then why didn't the military advisor himself look for the Yin Soldier Talisman?" You're much more capable than Jing Xuan. ”

The crow shook his arm and let the crow fly, and then said: "The general should not torture the minister, the minister is at most a paper talker, if the minister is really on the battlefield, the minister would have died a long time ago, and the minister still knows the truth that the husband is not guilty of his crimes, even if he finds the Yin soldier Fu Chen, he can't keep it." It is better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha to the general, so that the minister can live a life of one person and ten thousand people, wouldn't it be much better than falling asleep with anxiety every day. ”

Huang Hu's face was glowing, and he patted the crow on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be a place for you in the future." ”

The two talked happily, but they didn't know that someone in the dark was quietly watching their every move.

There was a light in the tent, and Yang Ruofeng was writing something on the desk.

Almost a cup of tea, Yang Ruofeng put down his pen, he didn't know why he was worried now, seeing that he had saved the people from fire and water, but he couldn't be happy.

simply got out of the military tent, looking at the moon in the sky that was not very bright, Yang Ruofeng's heart was not very clear.

The next morning, it was raining lightly, the air was humid and cold, and Yang Ruofeng came out of the military tent to find that everyone was busy sorting out their equipment.

"What's wrong?" He had an ominous premonition.

The soldier who was pulled said: "The general is going to attack the city in advance." ”

"Advance siege?" Yang Ruofeng sighed in his heart: "How could the general suddenly decide to attack the city in advance?" There are still people in the city! What if so many people are attacked in advance?! ”

The soldier was stunned, the general's order did not dare to disobey, and Yang Ruofeng's words could not be disobeyed.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a person came over next to him and said: "I decided, this is not a temporary idea, we can take Shunan a lot easier as soon as possible, Brother Ruofeng has a problem?" ”

"General!" Yang Ruofeng walked to Huang Hu's side with his helmet and said: "General, this matter is not proper, we have just gathered the hearts of the people, and now the people who have rashly entered the city will definitely complain, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble if we want to start another government at that time, we might as well wait for all the people to evacuate before launching an attack." ”

Huang Hu didn't speak, and looked at Yang Ruofeng for a while before he slowly spoke: "Jing Xuan has already decided, Brother Ruofeng will persuade me again." ”

After saying that, Huang Hu left, and at this time, the rain in the sky gradually became heavier, and the raindrops of ping-pong pong hit Yang Ruofeng's face.

Seeing the figure of Huang Hu walking away, Yang Ruofeng smashed his hand and said, "Confused, ......"
