In the blink of an eye, on the day of Zhong Lei and the Spring Festival wedding, it was full of guests, seeing the bride everywhere, and the groom was busy toasting. This is really the whole city to celebrate, firecrackers burst, dragon dance and lion leap, the stage is connected into a piece, ten thousand lanterns are lit, ceremonial flowers are flying all over the sky, what a happy scene. The wedding lasted for more than ten days, and Cheng Hong and the officials outside the house dispersed.

Then, Tianbo Mansion made trouble for three more days, and then it was over. After getting married, Zhong Lei thought of the hard work of the fourteen young people in Tianbo Mansion during this time, so he gave them half a month off and gave each person five hundred taels of silver, saying that it was a kind of compensation for letting them go to the Liangjiang Land Boundary to have fun. "But don't forget, hand over some more heroes back to Tianbo Mansion for use. He thought about the young master's safety in the future, and naturally he didn't have the leisure to stay at home with the bride, so he first asked Feng Guang to take a thick gift book, and after reading it carefully, he nodded and smiled: "Not bad." It's really good. More than 1,200,000 taels of silver, more than 7,000 taels of gold, and more than 4,000 treasures are enough to feed 300,000 soldiers and horses in my Tianbo Mansion. Good. Good. That's great. "In addition to silver in his heart at the moment, it is Longqing soldiers and horses. After returning the gift account book to Feng Guang, he left the house to find Yan Zheng to see how many soldiers and horses he had increased, how well he practiced, and how much he had a bottom in his heart in case of emergency. Besides, Lei Long was not idle, he bought 700 good horses from the north and came back, and Yingchun took Qian Gui Deng Jia to the Jiangnan Restaurant to see Lei Long, set up a sumptuous banquet, and the four of them chatted while eating. Just as he was talking about Xingtou, Huyan Feixue pushed the door in, saying that a military man had sent an urgent letter, naming him to see the chief manager, saying that he was sent by Feng Li. "What about the messenger?" asked the thunder dragon, and Huyan Feixue said to the door, "Come in." A military man flashed in outside the door, kneeling on one leg and saying, "The little one is General Feng's henchman Fan Lin." General Feng repaired an urgent letter, so that the small face was in charge. With that, he took out the envelope from his bosom and presented it with both hands. "Little General, sit down and eat together. ”

Lei Long greeted Huyan Feixue, stretched out his hand to take the envelope in Jun Han's hand, opened it and asked in surprise: "Tell me quickly, General Feng has been surrounded for a few days?" Jun Han hurriedly said: "Back to the adult, the little one was just surrounded when he came out, and he ran on the road for seven days." "Thunder Dragon" called the guy and asked him to treat the military man well. The man responded and took away the military man, and Lei Long said: "General Feng and his more than 700 people were besieged by more than 13,400 soldiers and horses in Zhen'an, Nanning, Lianzhou, and Gaozhou in Siming Mansion in Guangxi. As soon as these words came out, Huyan Feixue, whose butt had just been stained on the chair, hurriedly got up and said, "The use of soldiers is expensive. The young general is willing to lead 2,000 light horsemen day and night, and rush there first, and then you will discuss how to reinforce them. Lei Long nodded and said, "Little General, I just bought back seven hundred Tatar war horses from Ningxia, and in the new military camp, they are all yours." There are four or five thousand taels of silver, and you go to the tabernacle and take five hundred taels of silver, and take them with you for the journey. Huyan Feixue took the silver ticket and put it in his arms, got up and arched his hand to everyone, and said, "If there are seven hundred more war horses, the young general will take two thousand five hundred people." Let's go, we'll see you in Siming Mansion. "Just leave. Huyan Feixue went to the tent and took the silver taels, left the restaurant and got on the horse and rushed to the small military camp in the city, ordered two partial generals, 2,000 horse troops, 500 infantry troops, and 200 archers left the small camp, and left Pukou City to the front of the new military camp. "Hurry up and report to your lords, and say that Huyan Feixue of the small camp has urgent matters to see. The gatekeeper heard this, and hurriedly went to report to Tuba. Tuba heard the word "urgent" and hurriedly came out. When Huyan Feixue saw it, he trapped Feng Li in Siming Mansion in the siege of more than 8,000 soldiers and horses, and went to rescue him first, and told him about the horses in the new military camp. When Tuba heard this, he also felt that it was urgent to increase the number of troops and rescue, and hurriedly said: "Raise troops for a thousand days, and use them in danger, then I will take the new battalion of soldiers and horses to accompany the little general." Then he entered the camp and ordered two generals, a thousand horse army, and two thousand foot troops, and brought out seven hundred horses and gave them to Huyan Feixue, and loaded seventy carts of grain and grass to protect them with two hundred archers.

In this way, the two battalions of men and horses together in one place have a total of more than 6,600, led by Huyan Feixue in front, after Tuba is broken, the four generals will respond to the front and back, the soldiers and horses take the road to Anqing, and go straight to Guangxi Mansion in a hurry. In the evening, the whole Tianbo Mansion knew that Feng Li was besieged and Pukou City had sent troops to reinforce it. The fathers were discussing in the Cloud Palace, but the fourteen young people of Tianbo Mansion gathered in the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden, and they were also discussing this matter, for the sake of Lord Feng being surrounded, what could they do for the young master's worries. These juniors dance knives and guns on weekdays, go to the street to have fun, they love to act chivalrous and righteous in and out of the city, and they have also made many good brothers in the rivers and lakes. Although he lives freely, he often complains that he does not have a great opportunity to seek a future, and he can make contributions like his parents. Lord Feng's incident made everyone feel that it was an excellent opportunity to express their ambitions, but Tianbo Mansion definitely did not have their share in this additional rescue. Therefore, after discussion, he decided to take his house slaves and invite some Jianghu brothers to go to Siming Mansion to reinforce and do their best for Tianbo Mansion. And said nothing all night, and in the early morning of the next day, these fourteen young men carried swords and stole out of Tianbo Mansion with domestic slaves from the side gate, and left Pukou City at the south gate. They invited good brothers along the Yangtze River all the way, and rushed forward non-stop, and when they reached the boundary of Jiujiang Prefecture, there were more than 600 people with their masters and domestic slaves. Until Linjiang, everyone discussed and pushed Shen Zhongzhu as the leader of the people, erected the Longqing banner, and marched to Guangxi. Although Shen Zhongzhu was only seventeen years old, he was also familiar with the book of desecration and had a lot of opinions, and saw that there were many disasters along the road, so he said: "Attacking the city is not better than fighting and killing, you need soldiers and horses and silver, I want to fight a few big families to get some silver and grain and grass, and then recruit troops and horses along the way, train at night, and march during the day, so that you can't miss the trip." So he took everyone to fight seven or eight large households along the road, and got more than 3,000 taels of silver, more than 20,000 taels of silver tickets, 50 or 60 horses and vehicles, and 3,000 stones of grain. Then he began to recruit troops, selected young and strong men, and bought horses along the way. By the time they arrived at Pingle Mansion, there were more than 1,700 people, half of whom had two horses, and the march was fast. When he learned that there was still half a day away from Mingsi Mansion, Shen Zhongzhu gathered more than fifty brothers together and explained his strategy. "Brothers, the soldiers and horses of Zhen'an, Nanning, Lianzhou, and Gaozhou are besieging Mingsi, so these four cities must be empty. Our brothers can disguise themselves as thieves and carry torches, and attack these four cities at night in four ways, burning down the government and barracks. Remember, don't fall in love with war, kill someone when you set fire and leave. As long as someone reports it, the soldiers and horses of the four mansions will inevitably divide their troops to rescue them, and the pressure on Lord Feng will be reduced a lot. At that time, as long as Uncle Murong's soldiers and horses arrive, they will be able to relieve the siege of Mingsi by attacking from outside. After hearing this, everyone was greatly encouraged, and after a full meal, they divided into four roads, and rushed to Zhen'an, Nanning, Lianzhou, and Gaozhou respectively. After Feng Li and Bai Zizong divided their troops, they encountered a group of pirates who robbed fishing boats in the waters of Leizhou Island, but they used four official boats, and some of them were still wearing military uniforms. After a battle with Feng Li, these four ships of Haikou and Feng Li were defeated and fled, and Guanghaiwei abandoned the ship and fled ashore to Nanning. Feng Li left the small leader Ning Mo with more than 100 people to guard the boat, and he led the rest to chase after the Haikou and slash and beat hard, and the people along the way also took up sticks to join Feng Li's team when they saw it. Everyone chased after them until midnight, and when they saw Haikou fleeing into the Nanning barracks, they went to the door to ask for someone. Who knew that a general would not admit his account, and he spoke very ruthlessly. "What is a sea coward, this is a barracks, get out of here, otherwise Lao Tzu will arrest you as a sea coward. Hearing this, Feng Li's mouth was crooked, and after shouting for a while, he led people to break into the camp, so he moved his blade. Although there were 4,2300 soldiers and horses in this Nanning Prefecture, because they had not trained for a long time, they only knew how to oppress the people, so they retreated to the barracks as soon as they took the battle, and also sent three people from the rear camp to Zhen'an, Lianzhou, and Gaozhou to move troops. At this time, it was about to be dark, and it was not easy to attack the camp, so Feng Li asked people to find food and drink. When the local people heard that the officers and soldiers of Jiangnan came here to kill the officers and soldiers of Nanning, they sent food one after another, and said that the officials and thieves here are one family, and they usually burn, kill, prostitute and plunder all kinds of evil things, and the people have nowhere to complain about their suffering, and they have nowhere to redress their grievances, so they have to swallow their anger and let others oppress them in order to live, and they dare not speak out. "What?" Feng Li was furious when he heard this, so he asked the people to go back with peace of mind, saying that they would definitely exterminate these animals and give everyone a heavenly reason. And took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses overnight to expand their strength. But after a night, the situation changed abruptly. Zhen'an, Lianzhou, Gaozhou soldiers and horses arrived, Nanning soldiers rushed out again, Feng Li even more than 1,000 recruits, how to block the siege on all sides, can only retreat to a village, with the help of houses and lanes and the Ming army, until night, the Ming army surrounded the village and set up camp. After Feng Li counted the number of casualties, he couldn't help but think: "I have such a small amount of money, more than twenty or thirty people died in the front, and seventy or eighty more died today, how can it be good to go on like this." So he asked his brother to cut down all the trees in the village, fenced up the entrance of the village, and wrote three more letters to his henchmen Fan Lin, Jia Yu, and Shi Fei, and asked him to break out of the siege in the middle of the night and rush to Tianbo Mansion. In the middle of the night, Feng Li led more than 300 people to suddenly beat the war drums in the shouts, and pretended to break through to the west, attracting the Dashu army. Fan Lin, Jia Yu, and Shi Fei took the opportunity to ride their horses south. Seeing that his henchmen suddenly went out, Feng Li hurriedly took his brothers back to the village, ate some dry food indiscriminately, let the brothers rest quickly, and was responsible for patrolling the night to prevent the Ming army from sneaking attack. But when it came to dawn, a brother came to report: "General, the Ming army in the south picked up the heads of Jia Yu and Shi Fei with guns, laughing and scolding at the entrance of the village. Feng Li was stunned when he heard this, and Yang took a long breath and said: "Sue Sun Litang, the second general Fang Shichuan, if the Ming army does not come to attack the village, let them laugh and scold, don't pay attention to it." I'll lie down, and something will call me. As soon as the words fell, the sound of killing shook the sky all around, the Ming army began to attack, Feng Li hurriedly rushed to the west entrance of the village, only to see the Ming army rushing over to kill, thinking that this is over, he held a sword to defend the entrance of the village and bravely took the lead, the brothers saw that everyone was struggling, intercepting and killing the enemy in the alley or the courtyard of the people, and finally stayed up until the night in the fight and rest. After counting the casualties, Feng Li was stupid, and even the number of injuries was less than two hundred, so he gathered all the brothers and said, "Brothers, half of you are veterans who came from Datong Mansion with me.

Even if there is only one person left who eats tree bark and gnaws grass roots, the banner of Longqing cannot fall, and it will last for half a month to die, and the reinforcements from Tianbo Mansion will arrive. The brothers raised their arms and shouted: "I wish to live and die with the general." Feng Li smiled with relief, touched his injured right leg with his hand and was about to speak, only to hear the sound of killing in the Ming military camp in the south of the village, and a brother said happily: "General, it won't be our sailors who have arrived, come to relieve our siege." Feng Li didn't squeak when he heard it, and after listening quietly for a while, he called Sun Litang and Fang Shichuan to the front and said, "I thought, this soldier and horse in the Ming military camp, no matter where it comes from, it should be our soldiers and horses in Longqing." In this case, we might as well fight to the death and get out of the village, and then find a way out after joining up with this army of soldiers and horses. Sun Litang both said "yes", and everyone opened the door and shouted to kill them. As soon as they fought with the Ming army, the Ming army was in chaos, and then a soldier and horse under the banner of Longqing arrived, and one of the first generals carried a mountain axe and shouted on the saddle: "If you have something to say, go out and say." He led his troops to rush towards the southern camp of the Ming army. Feng Li and the others carried the wounded and followed, and soon after meeting with another Longqing army and horses, they killed the Ming army camp and headed southwest, and the Ming army followed closely. In the middle of the night, all the soldiers and horses of Longqing fled into the mountains, and the Ming army did not dare to enter the mountains in the dark, but they were afraid of being ambushed, so they set up several large camps outside the mountain and blocked the mountain pass. It seemed that the Kelong Qingjun could not take care of this, so they cut down trees and set up a large camp on each side of the mountain road, set up more than 20 camp tents, and buried pots for cooking. Feng Li took Sun Litang and Fang Shichuan into the camp of the main general of the mountain, and saw that the eight generals were drinking and discussing, so he said: "Generals, I am Feng Li, the chief soldier of Longqing soldiers and horses in Tianbo Mansion. These two are my lieutenants, Sun Litang and Fang Shichuan. May I ask where are the Longqing soldiers and horses?" One of them hurriedly invited Feng Li to take a seat, and said: "General Feng, my name is Zhang Lin, his name is Yun Biao, they are all subordinates of the generals of the dynasty, and they came to look for you with three thousand soldiers and horses." I heard from the people of Mingsi that there was a branch of Longqing that was outnumbered and surrounded by the Ming army, and after we discussed, we entered the camp at night. Fortunately, General Feng is fine, otherwise his subordinates would have died. Feng Li didn't know who this dynasty was, but when he saw the soldiers and horses of Longqing, he was very affectionate, so he said: "Fortunately, the two generals came in time, otherwise I would be in danger."

When I see the chief of Tianbo Mansion, I will ask for credit for your general. Yun Biao smiled and said: "General Feng, how dare your subordinates be greedy for merit, as long as the general is okay, this is better than anything else." Now, what should we do?" Feng Li looked up and thought about it, and said, "There are currently 8,000 Ming men and horses outside the mountain, and it is estimated that there will be more troops tomorrow. In my opinion, if you rush out, there is no place to stand, and you will be chased and beaten fiercely, so it is better to temporarily stay here and wait for reinforcements from Longqing. In less than half a month, reinforcements from the old camp Tianbo Mansion will arrive. At that time, we will be attacked inside and outside, and the Ming army will be defeated. Then we will take advantage of the situation to pursue it and take one or two cities first. Since then, he has a foothold, and then he is trying to expand his territory. And when they all said that it was very good, they set the table to eat and drink, and to take counsel on all things.
