Chapter 163 161 [Who is the rebel? ] (Add more for the leader "This is a monster")

   Night.

  Huang Yao led 500 soldiers and walked around for half a month, finally reaching the northwest of Bailuozhou.

  There are no big mountains along the way, but small hills and flat land.

  The reason why they went around this big circle was because they were afraid of being found by officers and soldiers. Similarly, officers and soldiers did not dare to cross the river to loot here, for fear that the rebels would find out and set up an ambush attack.

  The vast countryside on the other side of Linjiang Fucheng was surprisingly peaceful.

   Arriving at the riverside in the dark, five hundred soldiers took off their clothes and swam to Jiangxinzhou on the opposite bank. The rattan player and the wolf-whip soldier are very easy, because the wooden shield and the wolf-whip have buoyancy, and the distance of 100 meters is easy.

  After going ashore, walk to the other side of Jiangxinzhou. The river here is 200 meters long, which is still not difficult for a man who is familiar with water.

   Just like that, Huang Yao led five hundred soldiers and crossed the river without anyone noticing.

  This is the narrowest place near the entire battlefield, where the Ganjiang River is the narrowest.

  Wang Siren was already prepared and sent 300 officers and soldiers to guard. But recently, looting became popular, and the officers took the soldiers directly to the villages to plunder, leaving only a dozen people standing guard by the river.

   More than a dozen officers and soldiers, can guard the seven or eight li long river?

   A few miles away from the river, Huang Yao found a wheat field that had already been harvested, and sent an order: "Leave a few people on sentry, and the rest will sleep!"

   After sleeping soundly in the wheat field for an hour, the sky was bright, and Huang Yao immediately led people into the village.

  He didn't bring enough food, so he had to borrow food from the landlord's house.

   "Bang bang bang!"

  Knocking on the door, an old man came out, pleading: "Military masters, you have come here several times these days, the old man really has no food at home."

"Old man," said the military mission officer, clasping his fists, "We are the Datong Army, not the officers and soldiers who extort money. The Datong Army has to return the food they borrowed, and we can make a written statement. As for the officers and soldiers who bully you, when we are full, we will go back to you." Go get those bastards!"

   "Again... are you a rebel army?" The old man trembled with fright.

  The mission officer asked: "Is there any paper and pen? We don't borrow much food, so we will definitely return it in the future after leaving a written note."

   Zhao Han has always refused to accept the loan from the landlord in the "enemy-occupied area", but at this time he can behave more benevolently.

  The old man was afraid that the rebels would kill his whole family, so he had to open another warehouse to provide food.

  The rebels really don’t want much. One person only takes half a bucket, and insists on making a written receipt, throwing away the written receipt and taking the food and leaving.

  From the beginning to the end, the five hundred soldiers were in strict order, and they never set foot in the landlord's house.

  Watching these rebels leave, the old man lamented: "What kind of world is this? I can't go on!"

  Walking for another half day, at noon when the fire was cooking, the sentinel suddenly reported that officers and soldiers had appeared.

  Huang Yao climbed up a small hill and took a look, and sure enough, he saw two or three hundred officers and soldiers, and everyone had a harvest in their hands. Some soldiers even pushed small carts full of looted goods from the countryside.

  The military discipline of the officers and soldiers is out of control.

  You can grab it, why can't I?

  So the generals, big and small, took turns to go out to collect grain, and some unlucky landlords were repeatedly requisitioned several times.

   These are soldiers recruited locally in Jiangxi, and they are relatively civilized. It would be even worse if they were replaced by guest soldiers from other provinces. Under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers not only robbed money and food, but also killed people and slaughtered villages, beheading good people and saying that they were beheading traitors.

  Once the officers and soldiers are defeated in this battle, Li Maofang will definitely imply that the general will kill people, and chopping off some heads can offset the defeat.

   "Blow the horn!"

   "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

   "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

"kill!"

   Waiting for the officers and soldiers to pass by under the hill, five hundred soldiers swarmed out, and two or three hundred officers and soldiers robbed food. They were so frightened that they fled in panic, completely confused about what was going on.

   Huang Yao ran the fastest alone, stabbed several people to death in a row, and chased these officers and soldiers into the village.

  The villagers who had just been looted closed their doors and windows one after another, observing the situation through the gaps. Seeing the officers and soldiers being chased and killed by Huang Yao, although they dared not speak out, they all applauded secretly for Huang Yao.

   There were more than two hundred officers and soldiers, and Huang Yao led people to kill nearly half of them, so he stopped chasing.

   Instead, they went back to the ambush point just now, and sent the grain robbed by the officers and soldiers to the village for the farmers to pick it up.

  Five hundred soldiers, five missionary officers.

These missionary officers shouted along the village: "Old cousins, don't be afraid, we are Mr. Zhao's Datong soldiers. Datong soldiers don't harm the people, they are for the people. The grain looted by the officers and soldiers is piled up in the threshing ground of the village. Whoever’s family has been robbed of food will go and get it.”

  When I first arrived in Guibao, I have not yet gained the trust of the farmers, so I can only do this.

  When Huang Yao led his soldiers away, the villagers finally dared to come out and ran to the threshing ground to get back the grain. Some people get more, some people get less, and naturally there is another dispute.

  A young man chased Huang Yao's troops instead of grabbing food, and picked up a long gun thrown away by the officers and soldiers on the way.

  After chasing him all the way, Huang Yao stopped to rest, and called the young man: "Why are you following us?"

  The boy stammered: "I...I want to fight with you."

   "Where are your family members?" Huang Yao asked.

  The boy replied: "Father has been dead for five years, mother has been dead for three years, and both sisters are married. I live with my uncle's house, and my aunt doesn't want to see me, and she scolds me no matter how much I work."

   "It's also pitiful," Huang Yao asked, "What's your name?"

  The young man replied: "Hu Dinggui, my father named it. My father has studied for a few years. I can also read, it was taught by my father, and I can recite the "San Zi Jing"."

  Huang Yao smiled and said: "Well, you will fight with me from now on."

   After cruising behind enemy lines for several days, Huang Yao's troops increased to 536. One family even took refuge with the whole family. All the old people died, and the family was too poor to marry a wife. All three brothers of the family came to join the Datong Army.

   In addition, there is a record of killing more than 400 officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers dare not come to this area to rob.

   What is even more valuable is that the nearby villagers already know that the Datong Army is an army fighting for the common people, which is different from those brutal officers and soldiers. Even many landlords half-voluntarily lent grain, because officers and soldiers came and grabbed more.

   "Bastard!"

   Li Maofang was furious, and personally led 2,000 governor pacesetters, and rushed towards Huang Yao's troops.

  At this moment, Huang Yao is near the Longguang Academy. The plaque in Longguang Academy of "Longguang Shooting Bull Fighting Market" is written by the long-legged emperor Zhao Gou. Zhu Xi once gave lectures here for more than a month.

   "General, General!"

  A farmer came running quickly, out of breath, and said, "General, go into the mountain quickly, many officers and soldiers are here!"

   "Thank you, cousin!"

  Huang Yao got up immediately: "Stop eating, pack up your things and go into the mountains."

  Li Maofang chased all the way to this place, but she had no choice but to go to nothing. Huang Yao had already entered the Lion Mountain two miles away.

  Li Maofang was also tired from chasing, so she arranged the soldiers outside and went to Longguang Academy to rest by herself.

  Unfortunately, the gate of Longguang Academy is closed, and he, the governor, is ignored at all.

  There are five of the four major academies in Jiangxi, and Longguang Academy is the fifth largest academies. This is no longer the boundary of Qingjiang County, but the edge of Fengcheng County. Li Maofang dared to send troops to plunder the people, but he did not dare to lead troops into the academy.

   After being shut down, Li Maofang became more and more angry as she thought about it, looking at the Lion Mountain with nothing to do.

   Two days later, the officers and soldiers camped.

  Li Maofang, Li Ruolian, and Wang Siren were still arguing. The former was determined not to cross the river for a decisive battle. He believed that the training of the officers and soldiers was not enough.

  Among the 18,000 officers and soldiers, more than 3,000 are new recruits, and the training time is only two or three months. Li Ruolian's five thousand soldiers were brought by the guards from all over the country, all his mothers were weak military households who put down their hoes. There are about 2,000 others, who are the brave men recruited by the governor of Linjiang. There are more than 2,000 sailors who are Wang Siren's sailors, and it is impossible to go ashore to fight. In addition, there are 3,000 civilian husbands.

   There are less than 2,000 officers and soldiers who can really fight!

   Is this still a hairy thing?

  Although Li Maofang is greedy, she is not a fool. His original plan was not to fight the rebels, but relying on Wang Siren's navy to overwhelm the rebels so that they could not carry out a decisive battle.

   When the rebels run out of food and grass, they will naturally choose to withdraw their troops.

  As for Li Maofang herself, not only was she unscathed, but she was able to take the opportunity to make money. Part of the silver is used for training soldiers to train truly elite soldiers. Part of it was used to bribe Shangguan, either to transfer him or allow him to continue training soldiers and suppressing thieves.

  Both left and right are beneficial to Li Maofang.

  Was it just Wang Siren who was so stupid, arguing for a decisive battle with the rebels, rushing to die?

  Short-cuts and tricks!

   This sentence is the attitude of Li Maofang and Wang Siren towards each other. They both think that the other party is mentally retarded.

   "Fu Shuai, Fengcheng County is gone!"

"what?"

  Li Maofang jumped up in shock, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't the county magistrate of Fengcheng recruit a thousand townships to defend the city bravely?"

  The spies replied: "Those brave men from the countryside went to the countryside to collect food. When they returned to the city, they were killed by the rebels. They chased them all the way into the county and disappeared."

  Li Maofang, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Fengcheng County is behind them, and it is on the bank of the Gan River. If the rebels coerce the people in Fengcheng County, they will directly cut off their retreat.

  Li Ruolian sneered and said, "You did a good job!"

  Li Maofang was speechless, because he was indeed the one who issued the grain requisition order.

  But who the **** would have thought that the magistrate of Fengcheng was so awesome that he sent Xiangyong to the countryside to collect grain, and hundreds of bandits took advantage of it to seize the county seat.

   That was not to collect food at all, but the magistrate of Fengcheng wanted to make money, and sent troops to rob in the name of suppressing thieves!

  Wang Siren sighed: "There are only three ways now, one is to cross the river immediately for a decisive battle, the other is to immediately withdraw the troops back to Nanchang, and the third is to take back Fengcheng County and station the camp there."

   "It's impossible to withdraw troops. If you don't suppress the bandits in front of you, you and I will all lose our hats." Li Ruolian shook his head and said.

   Li Maofang asked: "Can't we send troops to take back the county seat and then keep people to garrison it?"

Wang Siren said: "There are hundreds of bandits hiding behind us all the time. These rebels are used to demagoguery. If they are allowed to develop, there may be two or three thousand people in the next month. There are two or three thousand enemies hiding behind us. Do you dare to fight such a battle?"

  Li Maofang thought about it: "We can't evacuate from Linjiang Mansion, just evacuate to Fengcheng County. Linjiang Mansion is a tax-heavy town. Once it is lost, the court will be furious, and it will be easy for us to lose our official position!"

   "Then let's fight." Li Ruolian sighed.

  Wang Siren sighed: "This Zhao thief is so cunning."

  Wang Siren thought that Zhao Han might send troops to go around, but he never expected that the rebels did not come to attack the camp of officers and soldiers at night after they went around, but instead helped the peasants drive away the looting officers and soldiers!

  There are only a few hundred rebels, and the officers and soldiers want to wipe them out, but they can't even touch the ghosts.

   Not to mention the peasants tipping off the news, even the local gentry secretly provided food for the rebels, just because the officers and soldiers robbed too hard.

  Wang Siren has an illusion that he is the traitor...
