Chongzhen seven years, deep winter.

Henan, Zhengzhou, Xingyang.

The thieves rode more than 1,000 westwards and immediately went west to the wheat field. The big flag is fluttering, looking at the cliff mouth and south, the flag covers the sky, the light is shining brightly, the south is the south mountain, the north is the river meander, and the waves are surging to the clouds. But I heard the sound of neighing horses, from morning to night, and camped for dozens of miles.

The thieves trampled on people and animals, and the road was five or six miles wide, and I don't know the geometry of the crowd.

This was a grand occasion recorded by a Henan squire at that time.

The small county seat of Xingyang has been razed to the ground. Wherever the thieves passed, the roads trodden by men and horses could be five or six miles wide......

An army of 300,000 gathered in a small Xingyang.

Chuang Wang, Chuang General, Lao Hui Hui, Ge Li Eye, Zuo Jian Wang, Cao Cao, Reincarnated King, Shooting the Collapse of the Sky, Xiying Eight Kings, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons, Shuntian King......

Countless bigwigs, in the open space in the south of Xingyang County, have met teachers!

As the leader of the alliance, King Chuang sits in the first place, and the rest of the thieves sit in two columns.

"Ahem, I've gathered everyone here today to discuss our future strategy." King Chuang made a start, and then he couldn't talk anymore.

This is the loss of having no culture!

However, his favorite generals immediately stood up and helped him continue: "We finally got rid of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers in the Yunyang area, and were able to join forces in Henan, and now we are based in the Central Plains, southeast and northwest, and we can go wherever we want. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone next to him laugh "sneering".

General Chuang turned his head and saw that the person who laughed at him was the Eight Kings of Xiying.

The general said with a dark face: "Eight kings, what are you laughing at?" ”

The Eight Kings of Xiying rolled their eyes: "I laugh at your eldest wife who ran away with someone, and the second wife who ran away with someone again, what are you still pretending to be here?" ”

Chuang Jiang was angry: "You! ”

His right hand swiped the ground and landed on his waist knife.

Cao Cao, who was sitting beside him, hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed his arm: "Don't, big brother, it's not appropriate for your own people to make trouble at this time." ”

"Am I going to make trouble?" The general said angrily: "It's this bastard who wants to make trouble." ”

The Eight Kings of Xiying had a rather indifferent expression: "What I said is the truth, if I have a word that I make up, you can refute it." ”

Breaker: "......"

It's embarrassing, and I don't know what to say for a while.

The strange silence lasted for a while, and Lao Huihui suddenly spoke: "Lao Tzu's command is all heavy cavalry, and it is very inconvenient to move with your infantry. And Lao Tzu doesn't like the Central Plains, he still likes the northwest, Lao Tzu wants to cross the Yellow River north and go back to Shanxi. ”

As soon as he said this, it was clear that he didn't want to mix with everyone.

The eight kings of Xiying said in a strange manner: "Yo, are you afraid of officers and soldiers?" Don't dare to fight with the officers and soldiers? Want to find a place where no one is around? ”

The old man is angry.

The general was also spit out by the eight kings of Xiying just now, and now he naturally stood up to help the old man come back, and said: "Eight kings, pay attention to what you say!" As soon as the fucking mother opened her mouth, she scolded this and that, who is the yin and yang? Who was there who was afraid of the officers and soldiers? ”

The eight kings of Xiying looked up to the sky and snorted: "Not afraid? Aren't you afraid, officers and soldiers, what are you still here to discuss? Didn't you get scared by the officers and soldiers, so you coaxed into a ball to keep warm? ”

Everyone: "......"

The general said angrily: "The horseman can fight hard, but what about 100,000 people? Today, our soldiers and ten times the official army, although Guan Ning is riding to the ground, there is nothing to do. I'm afraid of a hammer for them! ”

The Eight Kings of Xiying: "Blowing fiercely, aren't you afraid of Guanning Iron Cavalry?" Okay, well, as far as I know, Cao Wenzhao is leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry and is rushing here, so you can chop him if you have a kind. ”

Breaker: "......"

It's stiff, and the scene freezes again.

As soon as the thief chieftains heard that Cao Wenzhao was coming, they all began to panic in their hearts.

After a glance, the general knew that it was impossible to get this group of people together to fight against the officers and soldiers, this group of people had no ambitions, they just wanted to burn and loot everywhere, and unite to become a force, these people had never thought about it.

This Xingyang Conference is open in vain!

Well, since we can't get together, let's divide it.

The general said in a deep voice: "The only way to plan now is to divide the troops. Each of them will stand in the same direction, and its blunt will listen to the sky. ”

When the thief chiefs heard this, they ran apart? All right! Cao Wenzhao, who is willing to deal with whom, let's still be a bird and beast scattered.

So, a group of people responded in unison: "Break into the general's plan, good!" ”

The grand strategy has been discussed, that is, there is no strategy, and they are running around. However, the question of which direction to run in is a question.

The rogue divides the army, just like the black and astringent will divide the territory, you can't come to my KTV, I won't touch your vegetable market, I won't enter the nightclub you cover, and you don't want to get involved in the red light district I see......

King Chuang said, "Whoever goes on which side, draw lots." ”

Determined by lot: Ge, Zuo Nan as Chu Division; Horizontal and mixed west to welcome the Qin army; Cao, too much tunxing, bianjian, to explore the middle of the Mou, Deng, Wei to embellish the soldiers, Gui, He, and Ru; Dedication, break into the East. Broken city and lower town, the children of gold silk are even. The old returns, the nine dragons are roaming, and they respond to each other. Afraid that the Western Army will be defeated, it is beneficial to shoot the sky and change the king as the horizontal and succession.

After the division is complete......

The eight kings of Xiying smiled and led their troops to the southeast.

Lao Hui looked at this group of thieves coldly, and sneered in his heart: A group of unsuccessful guys, fortunately, I caught the lot and caught the middle strategy to do swimming, that is, I can run around freely, which is convenient for me to contact with the people in Xiaolangdi.

Let's go one step at a time.

Chongzhen eight years, the beginning.

Fengyang!

Fengyang, also known as the emperor's township, is the place where the Zhu family is prosperous, and the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family is here.

Since ancient times, our dynasty people have had a local plot, once promoted and rich, they will always want to return to their hometown, take out money to help the construction of their hometown, and help their parents and fellow villagers get rid of poverty. Even if you don't help your hometown get rich, you have to do it when you go home and give a wave of rewards.

That's why there is a sentence like "wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night".

It means that if you get rich, you have to go back to your hometown and pretend to be forced, if you don't go back to pretend, it is equivalent to not getting rich.

This matter is practiced all over the world, but the old Zhu family doesn't take this seriously.

Fengyang is the emperor's hometown, but the old Zhu family did not manage it well, not only did not make the people of Fengyang rich, but doubled the exploitation, making the people of Fengyang miserable.

In such a situation, the Eight Kings of Xiying are here!

The poor people of Fengzhi are invited hundreds of miles away, and they are registered as thieves: a certain family is rich, and there are no soldiers somewhere.

The Eight Kings only knew about the situation in Fengyang through these poor people, it turned out that the Zhu family was superstitious in feng shui, and Fengyang actually did not build a city, what is the difference between this and a beautiful woman who got drunk and stripped naked and lay in front of her?

The gentleman may also clothe the beautiful woman and take her to a safe place. And the gangsters, just ......

In the early morning of the fifteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the fog was filled, and the eight kings of Xiying led the sweeping king and the Taiping king to raid Fengyang.

Fengyang stayed behind and Zhu Guoxiang led his troops to meet the battle, was killed, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers were annihilated, and the remaining 1,500 knelt on the ground and "called Chitose", begging for mercy. Fengyang prefect Yan Rongxuan saw that his head was not good, so he changed into prison clothes and hid in prison.

When the thieves came to release the prisoner, they found out Yan Rongxuan and killed him with a rod.

The eight kings of Xiying set up a banner, wrote "Guyuan Zhenlong Emperor", set fire to the imperial mausoleum and Longxing Temple, and even dug the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family......
