Huguang, Liuyang County.

The name of the county is Feng Zuwang, the son of Feng Menglong, the author of the three words, and the disciple of Xue Fujiao, the eighth gentleman of Donglin.

Feng Zuwang was deeply influenced by Li Zhen's thoughts because of his father's relationship. On the one hand, he advocates helping the world and saving the people, but on the other hand, he is cynical, and the whole person lives an extremely entangled and painful life.

Feng Zuwang was a four-year jinshi of Chongzhen, and his first official position was the magistrate of Liuyang.

After taking office, Feng Zuwang cared about the people's suffering, personally visited the fields, and wrote a story about eight difficulties and seven hardships, reflecting the various hardships suffered by the people of Liuyang. In his writing, the land in Liuyang is very poor, and the yield per mu of many rice fields is only 1 stone, and the yield per mu of the top upper fields is not more than 3 stones.

First, the imperial court was fully assigned, and then the Pingxiang County next door was occupied by the sweeping king.

Feng Zuwang, a scholar who didn't know anything, could only try his best to raise food and raise villagers just in case.

This summer, the sweeping king is really here, and he came to rob the summer grain!

"County Zun, the anti-thief has been tricked!" A gentleman came running for joy.

Feng Zuwang is 46 years old and is 51 years old this year. When he saw the thieves under the mountain, he chased and killed the defeated soldiers, and immediately pulled out the scribe's sword: "Fellow villagers, follow me to kill the thieves!" ”

Twelve hundred townsmen suddenly struck out from the mountains and rushed towards an enemy three times their size.

The sweeping king did not rob Liuyang in person, this time he came to "fly to the sky".

Flying into the sky was also very depressed, and twice led the crowd to attack Liuyang County, but they were all beaten back. This time, when I finally encountered officers and soldiers in the field, I naturally had to chase and kill them, and if I chased them, I lost my mind and forgot that there were dense mountains and forests in front of me.

"Kill!"

The warriors of Liuyang Township are like rainbows, and they belong to defending Sangzi and guarding their own fields and grains. These thieves who crossed the border from Jiangxi, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, have already aroused public anger in Liuyang.

More than 3,000 anti-thieves were ambushed by more than 1,000 villagers, and they immediately turned around and fled in panic.

Fifty-one-year-old Feng Zuwang was so tired and out of breath that he ran out of the mountains and forests. He was embarrassed to stop, gritted his teeth and chased after him, and finally caught up with a thief who fell into the rice field.

Before Feng Zuwang could make a move, there were already two village warriors who stabbed the thief to death with bamboo guns.

In front of the thieves was a small river, and in a panic, many of the thieves jumped directly into the river to flee for their lives, while many fled along the river bank to the southeast.

The thief flew into the sky for the first time, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet at the moment, and he found that there were not many Xiangyong who were chasing, and he had already chased away. At this time, as long as you take more than 100 people, you can turn around and kill those villagers, but there are only more than ten old thieves around who are willing to obey.

But I saw a township brave officer, holding a hundred steel knives in his hand, and he was extremely swift and rushed on the ridge.

When he flew into the sky and saw this man coming alone, he immediately shouted: "Go back and kill that guy!" ”

However, only six old thieves obeyed, and the rest chose to continue to flee for their lives.

With one enemy and seven enemies, the township brave officer was not afraid, but just rushed along the ridge to kill. The six old thieves jumped into the field and cooperated to fly into the sky to surround and kill this person, and the two sides were about to collide in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the rice is not yet ripe, and the tip of the rice that has just been tasseled has grown to the height of a person's waist.

The Xiangyong officer jumped into the rice field on one side, kept pushing aside the rice stalks, and rushed forward barefoot in the muddy water. The hundred-for-steel knife was wielded, and one old thief was killed with one knife, and the second anti-thief was killed with another knife.

"Run!"

The rest of the old thieves were shocked when they saw this, threw down the thief leader and flew into the sky, turned around and fled.

Flying into the sky, he had already gone up, ignoring the pursuers in the distance, and even jumped into the rice field, wanting to fight with the township officer.

"Dang!"

The two sides separated the rice and quickly slashed at each other.

Unfortunately, it is not so convenient to fly into the sky and wear shoes on your feet, and move around the paddy fields. The officer of the village bravely pushed aside the rice, and soon came to his side, flew into the sky, and with great effort, he directly tore off a shoe.

A flash of sword light flew into the sky and hung a color on his left arm.

The Xiangyong officer moved again, and he had already circled behind the flying sky, and the speed was extremely fast and another knife.

Flying to the sky and falling down in pain, overwhelming several clumps of rice, but not immediately dead. The guy struggled to get up, and before he could stand firmly, he was slashed in the neck.

The Xiangyong officer stepped over and cut off his head, raised his head and shouted: "Liuyang Wang Hui, behead the thief here!" ”

Jiangxi's anti-thieves entered Huguang, and for a few people, it was the time to make contributions.

Feng Zuwang led the troops to chase and kill all the way, he was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, and when he heard that Wang Hui had beheaded the thief, he immediately lay on the ground and laughed.

However, it was said that those rebels were defeated, and they were killed and fled back to Pingxiang County, and the next day they were ordered to gather in Yuanzhou's capital city.

They hurried to Yuanzhou, and when they heard that they were going to fight with King Zhao halfway, they were immediately frightened and trembled. That night, most of them fled directly and hid in Wugong Mountain.

That was Zhao Tianwang, who defeated the official army several times, and the governor of Jiangxi was driven away by two, and he also captured one Jiangxi general soldier.

Such an anti-thief ancestor, how can he be an enemy?

The sweeping king was guarding the city in Yuanzhou Mansion at this time, and when he heard the information reported every day, he was so anxious that his forehead sweated.

"Big brother, come down." Yizhang Bing said with a sad face.

"Drop a fart!"

The Sweeping King roared angrily: "You don't know how much blood we have on our hands. If you fall, you're dead, it's better to fuck hard! This surnamed Zhao is not righteous at all, and he said that he would not attack each other. Lao Tzu didn't hit him, he came to beat Lao Tzu instead! ”

Yizhang Bing said: "Every day, there are deserters who slip down the city wall along the rope, and they can't prevent it here or there." ”

"It's all eggless cowards, and this guts also comes to rebel!" The Sweeper was very depressed.

He wanted to expand his territory, and there were only four options, one was to fight Zhao Han in the east, the second was to attack Chaling County in the southwest, the third was to attack Liuyang County in the northwest, and the fourth was to attack Wanzai County in the north.

If you start a war with Zhao Han, the sweeping king will never dare, so you can only choose the last three.

But Jiangxi is making such a big fuss, and Huguang officials have long been alert. Chaling County and Liuyang County were both guarded by officers and soldiers, and the two strong attacks were ineffective, and the attempt to defraud the city also failed.

Wanzai County in the north was even more speechless, more than 500 officers and soldiers were stationed at Tieyan Pass, and the sweeping king led the troops to the past and could only watch stupidly.

was blocked in the land of three counties, if nothing happens, the sweeping king can continue to enjoy, who knows that Zhao Tianwang will turn his face when he says it!

……

Huang Mi was stationed in Linjiang Mansion, and Fei Ruhe was stationed in Wan'an County, and they had to guard against a sudden attack by officers and soldiers.

In this westward expedition, Li Zheng led troops to attack Yuanzhou Mansion, and Jiang Dashan led troops to attack Yongxin County.

Yongxin County is the territory of the thief's head nine-headed bird and the Zhenshan tiger, the nine-headed bird occupies the county seat, and the Zhenshan tiger occupies Lianhua Township.

Jiang Dashan led the troops to the outside of Yongxin County, and did not choose to attack the city immediately, but camped outside the city, preparing to besiege the city for reinforcements.

Waiting left and right, the Zhenshan Tiger still did not come to the rescue.

So, Jiang Dashan asked the soldiers to plant more banners, and led 800 people to continue to guard the county seat, and the rest of the troops were all sent to attack Lianhua Township.

"Report !!!"

"There are no thieves in Lianhua Township, according to the investigation, the Zhenshan Tiger has escaped into the Huguang boundary!"

Jiang Dashan was suddenly so angry that his liver hurt, these anti-thieves are too unrighteous. The friendly army was besieged, and if they didn't come to the rescue, they didn't fight a battle, so they fled to Huguang.

When his large army came back and crossed the river and lurked into the mountains, Jiang Dashan ordered: "Send someone to shout outside the city, just say that the Zhenshan Tiger defeated Lianhua Township, and only took a few dozen old thieves to flee to Huguang." ”

More than a dozen loud voices, carrying iron horns in their hands, shouted at the city tower by boat:

"The Zhenshan Tiger defeated Lotus Township, and only fled to Huguang with dozens of old thieves, and you have no reinforcements!"

"The Zhenshan Tiger defeated Lotus Township, and only fled to Huguang with dozens of old thieves, and you have no reinforcements!"

The thieves in the city were terrified.

A few days ago, he shouted that the capital city of Yuanzhou was besieged, and it was impossible for the sweeping king to come to the rescue of Yongxin County.

That night, more than 30 thieves, carrying large boxes and small boxes of goods, sneaked to a certain section of the city wall in the west, and other thieves were transferred in advance along the way.

The nine-headed bird stood guard on the tower of the city, and asked his henchmen to hang the goods outside the city in baskets to be taken away.

Yongxin County is surrounded by water on three sides and faces mountains on one side, and only a small amount of flat land can be attacked, and it is very fatal to forcibly attack the city.

"Bang!"

The basket suddenly fell from mid-air, and the box hit the ground, but it was locked and did not break open.

The nine-headed bird scolded in a low voice: "Be careful! ”

The henchman complained bitterly: "Ninth Master, the silver is too heavy, and the brothers didn't hold it." ”

The anti-thief sentry on another section of the city wall came to check when he heard the movement, and he was very alert and felt that something was wrong. He didn't dare to get any closer, but turned around and ran away and shouted: "The ninth master is going to escape, the ninth master is going to escape!" ”

The thieves in the city quickly boiled, and they opened the city gates one after another, wanting to take advantage of the chaos and run away first.

When Jiang Dashan heard the movement, he immediately ordered: "The whole army crosses the river to attack the city!" ”

The soldiers stationed in the northwest mountains also quickly came out of the mountains, and the thieves could only flee to the mountains to the west.

The nine-headed bird didn't care about carrying goods, so he only asked his henchmen to take a few dozen taels of silver each, and then fled to the mountains to the west in terror.

"Kill!"

As the Datong soldiers pursued, one after another thieves knelt down and surrendered.

There are only a few roads into the mountains, and all of them are very narrow. The thieves huddled together, and they all thought that their allies were in their way, and they began to kill each other.

"Get out of the way!"

The nine-headed bird was also killing, and there were more than thirty henchmen around him, each carrying dozens of taels of silver in his arms.

Moreover, they were dressed in leather armor and well-armed in their hands, and they slashed at friendly troops who stood in their way while fleeing for their lives, and corpses were everywhere they passed.

Finally, a thief saw the nine-headed bird killed, and he was so frightened that he shouted wittily: "Kill the nine-headed bird, go to Zhao Tianwang to ask for credit!" ”

"Kill the nine-headed bird!"

"Kill the nine-headed bird!"

Up and down the mountain, the thieves roared angrily, and the nine-headed bird and more than thirty henchmen were blocked in the middle.

Suddenly, a henchman swung a knife and slashed out, and the nine-headed bird was hacked to death by his own soldiers before he could react.

"The nine-headed bird is dead, I killed it!"

This man cut off the head of the nine-headed bird, and suddenly he was stabbed in the back, and he was killed in a daze.

The killer snatched the head, brandished his weapon frantically, and quickly climbed to the nearby cliff while the friendly forces retreated. The guy threw away his weapon, held the head of the nine-headed bird, and slid down the steep mountain wall.

"Grab your head!"

Inexplicably, many thieves descended the mountain one after another, trying to snatch the head of the nine-headed bird.

There were also many thieves who took the opportunity to escape into the mountains and fled over the mountains to the direction of Huguang. They didn't dare to stay here, King Zhao was too terrible, and he could rebel again if he went to Huguang.

When Jiang Dashan led the troops to chase after him, a group of anti-thieves were fighting at the foot of the mountain, just to snatch the head.
