Chapter 53: A Thousand Miles to the Battle
The Suyang uprising was successful!
How to deal with Xie Chengdong is in front of everyone.
Peng Zhenlei advocated beheading, and the reason given was that he had harmed the people and done too much evil.
Jiang Jianheng had received his favor and did not advocate killing them all.
All opinions are concentrated on Lu Jingfei.
"I'm advocating that you can't kill Xie Chengdong!" Lu Jingfei said: "We confiscated all his property and spared his life, so that we can unite some wavering rich gentlemen!" ”
Lu Jingfei's words have weight, at this moment he is the president of the Chuxia Salvation Association of Xihai County.
Soon, a notice was posted at the head of Suyang City, listing dozens of charges against Xie Chengdong and announcing the confiscation of all his property, and the people applauded.
Lu Jingfei and Jiang Jianheng went to the prison together to interrogate Xie Chengdong.
"Xie Chengdong, the crimes you have committed are too numerous to mention, but our Chu Xia Salvation Association has spared your life for the time being, and it is estimated that you have no place to stay in Suyang City, you can leave Suyang with your family!"
Lu Jingfei said coldly.
Xie Chengdong didn't expect that Chu Xia would spare him, so he hurriedly thanked him.
"If you continue to do evil, we will never spare you!"
Jiang Jianheng is in Xie Chengdong, and after all, he has the grace to support him.
Xie Chengdong quietly left Suyang City with his family and disappeared.
The news of the uprising in Suyang City soon spread to Cangyuan City.
Wu Shaoguang was furious and scolded Luo Hu and Qiu Chunguang fiercely.
One green mountain was enough for him to have a headache, and now he was out of Suyang City.
What to do? If this continues, the Chuxia Salvation Association will occupy all the county towns of the Chuxia Great Country.
"Dashuai, I think if you want to clear the Xia Salvation Congress, the most important thing is talent!" Qiu Chunguang said bravely.
"Where there are talents, you bring them to me!" Wu Shaoguang said angrily.
"There are many young talents in the hall of Wenwu University, as long as the marshal reuses them, they will definitely be grateful, let them lead the troops, and they will definitely be loyal to you!"
"I know this, how do I know that they are faithful to me?" Wu Shaoguang asked rhetorically.
"Dashuai, I have already investigated it for you, I will let him stay if he is loyal to Dashuai, and I will drive him away if he is not loyal to Dashuai, so the people in the Wenwu University Hall are all Dashuai!" Luo Hu said.
"You're doing a good job!" Wu Shaoguang turned his anger into joy and said, "Who do you think is talented, who can lead troops for me, and go to Suyang to arrest Lu Jingfei for me!"
"Dashuai, I think these young talents in the Wenwu University Hall still need to be trained in our team, I think I will use the people of the Wenwu University Hall to exterminate Lu Jingfei in Suyang City!" Qiu Chunguang said.
"Let's go to the Wenwu University Hall to select talents!" Wu Shaoguang said that, and took Luo Hu and Qiu Chunguang to the Wenwu University Hall.
After Lu Jing flew away, Luo Hu was in charge of opening the Wenwu University Hall.
Luo Hu selected thirty outstanding people for Wu Shaoguang to review.
Wu Shaoguang looked at these young talents who were vigorous and vigorous, and his heart was overjoyed.
"I will let you go and exterminate Lu Jingfei in Suyang City, and when Lu Jingfei is exterminated, I will reward you with your official position according to your merits!"
Wu Shaoguang used high-ranking officials to buy these young talents.
"We must be loyal to the commander!" They shouted in unison.
Wu Shaoguang arranged official positions for these young talents, and still used Qiu Chunguang as the commander to attack Suyang City with a musket team.
As a result of the acceptance of the new forces, Wu Shaoguang's army took on a completely new look.
Qiu Chunguang secretly swore that he must not fail this time, and Wu Shaoguang's reactivation of him was indeed an opportunity for him.
The matter of his army was very secret, and he let out the wind to say that he would exterminate Feng Qingluan in Cangqingshan.
The news soon spread from Cangyuan City to Cangqing Mountain.
After Qiu Chunguang raised his troops, he started in the direction of Cangqing Mountain, changed his route halfway, and went straight to Suyang City.
The sergeants went into battle lightly, quickly whipped their horses, and unknowingly, the ghosts did not realize that they had arrived in Suyang City.
Lu Jingfei did not receive the news that Wu Shaoguang wanted to exterminate Suyang City. But when he heard that Qiu Chunguang was going to exterminate Cang Qingshan, he couldn't help but worry about Feng Qingluan.
However, he didn't expect that Qiu Chunguang had already arrived in the city.
Those young talents quietly infiltrated Suyang City under the leadership of a man named Shangguan Tong.
Lu Jingfei was busy with how to establish the Chuxia Salvation Association and establish a Chuxia National Salvation Army in Suyang.
He didn't realize that Wu Shaoguang's poisonous hand had reached out.
When Peng Zhenlei reported that Qiu Chunguang's musket team had appeared outside Suyang City, those young talents had already opened the gates of Suyang City under the leadership of Shangguan Tong.
Qiu Chunguang led the musket team into Suyang City......
It's that simple......
If it weren't for Shangguan Tong remembering that he was the master's sake, leaving him an escape route, maybe he would really have become Qiu Chunguang's prisoner.
The musketeers exerted great power......
Although the members of the Chuxia Salvation Association fought bravely, their strength was very different, so they had to fight and retreat under the command of Peng Zhenlei.
Everyone withdrew from Suyang City, and because they did not prepare in advance, Chu Xia Salvation Association suffered heavy losses.
When Lu Jingfei was retreating, he was hit by the iron sand of the musket and was seriously injured, unable to march, and could only recuperate on the spot.
Fortunately, Jiang Jianheng has been in Suyang for many years and has a few loyal friends.
Jiang Jianheng took Lu Jingfei to find a place to recuperate nearby.
The remaining thousands of men followed Peng Zhenlei.
Peng Zhenlei saw that the sergeants had no fighting spirit, so he had to retreat south.
Qiu Chunguang ordered the musketeers to continue the pursuit until they caught Lu Jingfei.
Coupled with the harassment of the villagers in various places, the number of non-commissioned officers was seriously reduced.
The musketeers were like a tail, following them closely.
How to get rid of the musket team became a headache.
Someone suggested to Peng Zhenlei that the army should be broken into pieces and disbanded.
"How can the Chuxia National Salvation Army, which we have worked so hard to build, be disbanded, otherwise we will go into the mountains to become bandits!" Peng Zhenlei resolutely refused to let the troops disband.
But where is the way out?
The number of sergeants was getting smaller and smaller, and there were only five or six hundred left, but these five or six hundred were young men of strong physique.
Peng Zhenlei looked at these young men and said in his heart: "We must not let these people disperse!" ”
He was thinking about where to go, and Fan Cheng gave him a suggestion.
"We can go to Cangqing Mountain and find Feng Qingluan!"
Fan Cheng's words were like clearing the clouds.
"That's right, let's go to Cangqingshan and find Feng Qingluan, we are all the best sergeants under Jiang Jianheng!"
Peng Zhenlei said, let Fan Cheng take the two of them to take the first step and go to Cangqing Mountain to find Feng Qingluan.
Fan Cheng and his two entourages rode fast horses and went straight to Cangqing Mountain.
Although the road was far away, the three of them traveled day and night, and walked for half a month to reach the boundary of Cangqing Mountain.
Wu Shaoguang couldn't attack Cangqing Mountain, so he blocked the surroundings of Cangqing Mountain.
But the checkpoints on the road can't stop them. They all beat the level at night.
It can be said that it went through a lot of difficulties and dangers before entering the green mountains.
In several county towns around Cangqing Mountain, Feng Qingluan and Wu Shaoguang are also competing repeatedly.
Sometimes they lost, so they had to retreat into the depths of Cangqing Mountain, and when the enemy was not paying attention, they quietly attacked and reoccupied the county seat.
Fan rode to Cangqing Mountain and met the members of the Chu Xia Salvation Association on duty.
The members of the Chu Xia Salvation Association have their own set of contact methods, and Fan Cheng has long been proficient in mastering them. Since I met my own people, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Fan Cheng proposed to see Feng Qingluan.
Someone reported it to Feng Qingluan, and Feng Qingluan heard that Fan Cheng was coming to see him, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Seeing Fan Cheng, who was in the dust, he hurriedly asked, "Fan Cheng, why are you here, how is the situation in Suyang City?" ”
"Mr. Feng!" Fan Cheng still called him the same as before, the Suyang Uprising had failed, Lu Jingfei was seriously injured, and only Peng Zhenlei brought out five or six hundred people, he asked me to come here to explore the way, thinking of Cangqingshan! ”
"That's the best!" Feng Qingluan hurriedly let Fan Cheng eat. took Shao Donglai and Kou Jingyu to greet Peng Zhenlei in person.
Fan Cheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Feng, I'd better hurry back and tell General Peng!" ”
Feng Qingluan said with a smile: "Peng Zhenlei and I are old friends, you just have a good rest here, didn't Wu Shaoguang set up a lot of levels, I still brought Peng Zhenlei and all his people over!" ”
"Mr. Feng, I believe you ......"
Although Feng Qingluan said this, he already had a detailed plan in his heart, where to come out of the green mountains and where the defense of the checkpoints was weak, he was naturally clear......
Peng Zhenlei continued to march with hundreds of sergeants, who were already exhausted, and they could not camp in crowded places, nor did they dare to buy food in the towns, so they could only eat some wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger.
"General Peng, where are you taking us, I am a native of Suyang, I want to go back to Suyang!"
There was a sergeant who was angry.
"Do you think we can go back? Qiu Chunguang had already raised the butcher's knife, as expected, Suyang City was already bleeding, if we want to survive, we must condense into a rope! ”
The sergeants thought that Peng Zhenlei's words were good, but where was the way out!
"Don't worry, Feng Qingluan has already established a foothold in Cangqingshan, and we will be able to reach Cangqingshan soon!" Peng Zhenlei continued to cheer everyone on.
"Oh no, a townsman is coming to attack us!"
The lookout post reported that in fact, they had passed countless sneak attacks along the way.
"Let's get into the fight!" Peng Zhenlei raised the steel knife and shouted.
Hundreds of villagers rushed over, although they were not regular officers, but Peng Zhenlei's Chuxia National Salvation Army was already exhausted, hungry, and the sergeants had no fighting spirit.
Peng Zhenlei naturally knew the situation of the sergeants, if he didn't meet the battle and fled, he would inevitably lose more.
"They are all a rabble, and we can overwhelm them from the momentum!" Peng Zhenlei shouted, brandishing a steel knife and rushing towards the villagers.
The crowd shouted and killed.
However, there were too many villagers who had sneaked up, and they had already been surrounded.
Several villagers surrounded a sergeant of the Chuxia National Salvation Army......
Peng Zhenlei knew that it would be difficult to stand out and surround him.
"General Peng, we are covering up with the enemy, you quickly withdraw from the battle!" A pro-soldier advised.
"Never, I want to be with everyone!" He let out a loud shout, raised his steel knife, and cut down an officer.
