312 The Cave Conspiracy
This was a great achievement when he went to the battle according to the imperial court's orders. Since Lu Haoshan went to the battle, he has made many contributions. After compromising with Wang Pu and gaining freedom, he suddenly stimulated the combat effectiveness of Lu Haoshan's troops. Relying on excellent and precise intelligence and the impact and mobility of elite cavalry, this bandit suppression drama made the Wen Chong troops of the Sichuan Army shine, and even Chongzhen issued an order to express his commendation.
He had made a contribution, but his subordinates suffered a great loss. Lu Haoshan was determined to retreat. These were his own dominant team. No matter how careful he was in war, he would die. If he continued to do so, he would probably lose all his capital. In fact, the most important reason was that Lu Haoshan, who was foresighted, knew that the Ming Dynasty would face an extremely serious mistake, which was a serious mistake that accelerated the Ming Dynasty that had been ruined for more than 200 years.
There is no retreat in the east and west, while there are heavy troops in the north and the Yellow River in the south. A group of rebels were compressed into a small space. It can be said that it was only a matter of time to be wiped out. I don’t know if it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who were too hard or the Ming Dynasty had exhausted their energy. After secretly receiving the benefits of the rebel army, Wang Pu and Lu Jiude thought they could take the lead without any effort, so they agreed to accept the "surrender" of the rebel army. Unexpectedly, the rebel army just surrendered. When the time is right, they killed the people who came to supervise, and then took advantage of the freezing Yellow River and crossed the Yellow River. After breaking through the natural danger, the rebel army left the heavy troops transferred from the Ming Dynasty behind, thus galloping in a wider world.
It is October now, and it will take no longer to take place in history. The disaster is coming, and a large number of generals will be unlucky at that time. Lu Haoshan knows Wang Pu's character, stubborn and arrogant, and will definitely not listen to his advice. His immediate boss Deng Yan also has something to do with him. No one believes this matter even if it is said. Besides, there is a certainty in this matter, and Lu Haoshan doesn't want to change too much.
The most important point is that the growth and development of Lu Haoshan requires a chaotic environment, and the more chaotic it is, the better it is to catch up with the situation.
Lu Haoshan is not nostalgic for a dynasty rotting to the core.
"Dingguo, have you missed home?" Lu Haoshan suddenly asked.
Home? Li Dingguo's family has long been gone, but the new home is in Wenchong Qianhu Instrument, which is where he has rebirth, and his relatives are also there. When he thinks of home, Li Dingguo wants his uncle's teachings and to make delicious Shaanxi-style meals for himself. Li Dingguo also knows that the home Lu Haoshan refers to is the small house next to Wenchong Qianhu Instrument.
Before I knew it, I had been away from home for almost a year.
"Sir, I think," Li Dingguo nodded heavily and said, "I dreamed that I wanted to eat noodles made by my uncle and buns. In fact, not only do I think, but many soldiers secretly asked me when I could go home, and they thought about it too."
After saying that, he smiled slightly: "Sir, you miss the two ladies too."
This little brat actually joked about himself. Lu Haoshan smiled slightly. He did not answer his question, but looked at the distant place and said lightly: "Don't hurry, it's coming soon."
Li Dingguo was excited: "Sir. Are we going home? Well, that's right. Now the thieves are surrounded by us. Now they can be said to be turtles in the jar. It's only a matter of time to wipe them out. The north wind is together, and life in the mountains is not easy. Those mobs have no clothes or food, and they are all cold to death without being beaten. The scout said that they have seen many mobs starving to death on the roadside and heard that some of the meat between their thighs are gone."
Speaking of the latter, Li Dingguo deliberately lowered his voice.
Lu Haoshan was not thinking about these things, and he was a little numb to those tragic situations. What he thought most now was how to find an excuse to leave this place of right and wrong. If he was lucky, the court agreed to his request to return to Sichuan to recuperate. If he was lucky, it would not take long before these surrounded rebels would cross the Yellow River and would let him go back then.
However, Lu Haoshan did not say these things and could not say them casually. Otherwise, Li Dingguo would treat himself as a monster. He nodded and said, "I guess this matter will be settled soon, let's watch it."
"Yes, sir."
After Lu Haoshan finished speaking, his mind began to turn rapidly, and he began to think hard about the reasons for how to get out of this battlefield.
Just when Lu Haoshan was thinking about how to retreat, there was a naturally formed Lu Xian Cave about forty miles north of Feiyan Peak. Locals said that Lu Dongbin, the head of the Eight Immortals, stayed there while traveling around the world. In order to get some of the fairy spirit of Lu Xianren, it was changed to Lu Xian Cave. This Lu Xian Cave is located in a remote place and few people usually come, but today it is full of people. Dozens of people squeezed the originally spacious cave. The leader was a middle-aged man over fifty years old. He was thin and his eyes were bright. The most eye-catching thing was that he didn't have a long brass pipe around his waist.
It was the old Hui Ma Shouying who escaped from Wang Pu's hands.
If there were officials from the government here, they would definitely be shocked. In addition to Lao Huihui, there were Zhang Miaoshou, the Eight Kings of Xiying, Mantianxing, Lao Zhang Fei, Ba Jinlong and others. These were all wanted bandits by the court. At this moment, they secretly held a secret meeting in Lu Xian Cave.
"Lao Huihui, you are really lucky. You can escape when you fall into the hands of those dog officers and soldiers. Hahaha." Lao Zhangfei and Lao Huihui had a good personal relationship, so they made fun of him as soon as they met.
"Brother, just let me go, at least give me some face. Alas, it's not glorious to say this." Lao Huihui smiled bitterly and said, "It's probably because King Yama saw that I, Old Huihui, was unwilling to accept it."
Mantianxing smiled and said, "Yes, we are all hard-working people, and King Yama refused to accept it."
"This is the right thing," said Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying, and said: "Brother Ma, as the saying goes, there will be blessings in the future if you survive a disaster. This is a happy event. You should have a few drinks later."
Lao Huihui has a high status in the rebel army, and he is good at socializing and has a good reputation among the rebel army. He greets him friendly, and some greets him, and some jokes. With this topic, the scene began to become lively and the atmosphere merged a lot.
After patiently greeting everyone for a while, after finding an opportunity, Lao Huihui suddenly said, "Brothers, I was not lucky in old ways. Not only did the team be broken up, but I was trapped in myself. Fortunately, my luck was good and I bribed the officers and soldiers and escaped. If you weren't for your righteousness and more care, I might have really buried this Huihui. In order to wipe out us, the dog emperor transferred so many officers and soldiers, and even the Beijing camp soldiers were dispatched. Our lives were getting more and more difficult. I wonder how the brothers were doing?"
It's okay not to mention it. When talking about this topic, the atmosphere that was finally created suddenly dissipated, and everyone also changed into a worried face.
"Oh, it's hard," Zhang Miaoshou shook his head and said, "It used to be a good thing to get the grain, but now it's getting harder. Even if you spend money, you won't work. The officers and soldiers guard the important roads, and even if you buy them, you won't be able to get into the mountains. Don't be too depressed. It's no exaggeration to say that my little grain is only allowed to be chewed by horses at most. If you can't get supplies, a large number of people will have to eat the northwest wind."
"Your wonderful hand is famous for keeping one. It's said that it's half a month, and it's probably enough to eat it for at least one month. No matter what it says, it's better than me." Man Tianxing said with a sad look: "Those damn officers and soldiers sent me to get in. They don't rob gold or rob silver. They just burned all my food while people are unprepared. Now my subordinates eat grass roots and eat tree bark, and even kill war horses. They're much worse than you."
Eight Golden Dragon shook his head and said, "It's hard to live this life. I wonder if I can survive this winter."
Old Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Eight Kings, your subordinates are strong and sloppy. I guess your situation is the best."
Zhang Xianzhong shook his mouth slightly, his face was yellow and waxy. I don’t know if it was really a smile or a bitter smile, but he said helplessly: “One word, it’s hard. Now someone in the team is secretly eating two-legged sheep. Do you think this situation is good?”
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads silently.
Sheep have four legs. The two-legged sheep mentioned by Zhang Xianzhong refers to humans. This statement originated from the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. The Hu people are fierce and violent by nature. They catch the people without food, like animals, one after another, and one after another. They cook when they are hungry, and they call it "two-legged sheep". So the two-legged sheep spread like this.
Lao Huihui knew that what everyone said was mostly the truth. The officers and soldiers advanced layer by layer, cleared the fields in many places, and guarded the major transportation routes. The small villages were either empty or poor, and could not grab anything. With the assistance of the government, the rich moved into the county town with their wealth. The thick walls made the rebels sigh and wanted to attack, but today was different from the past. The reinforcements would arrive soon. Not only did they not grab the things, but they could easily get themselves in, and even more and more difficult to replenish supplies.
"It's not easy for brothers," Lao Huihui said gratefully: "At such a difficult time, brothers still lend a helping hand to me Lao Huihui. It's so righteous."
Lao Huihui escaped, but he had no money or wealth. Fortunately, he still had popularity and helped many people before, so everyone supported him one by one, and barely joined forces with four or five hundred people. Unfortunately, he did not join the people of Huang Jinliang. It is said that he fled back to Taiyuan, Shanxi.
Old Zhangfei said curiously: "I said you always come back, don't you let everyone listen to you sarcastic words? When is it now? Everyone came with their heads on their backs."
Man Tianxing immediately agreed, "Yes, Brother Ma, you are the most resourceful on weekdays. I wonder what good things are there for us to come this time? Don't keep it a secret."
"That's right, when I heard you say something big is discussed, I came here in Xingye."
"I only ate half of my meal. When I heard about the discussion of something big, I rushed over in a hurry." Eight Jinlong and Zhang Xianzhong also said from the side.
These leaders all received secret letters from Lao Huihui and gathered here secretly to see what major issues Lao Huihui had to discuss.
If everyone was polite on weekdays, but they were dissatisfied with each other in their hearts, they probably wouldn't be so united. However, now is a time for life and death. One person's power is limited, and everyone is facing difficulties more or less. In order to change this situation, when they heard the resourceful old Huihui's call order, everyone rushed to the first time and prepared to join forces to overcome this difficulty.
Lao Huihui didn't keep it a secret and said seriously: "That's right, I called everyone here this time to work with everyone to kill a big fat sheep."
"Big fat sheep?" Zhang Laofei's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Which one?"
"Chuan Army."
"Chuan Army?" Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying, frowned and said, "Brothers, have you ambushed once, and scared the bullshit Guard commander and hid in Fencheng."
Lao Huihui said with a serious expression: "To be precise, it should be said that it was the Wenchong unit of the Sichuan Army and the hundreds of elite cavalry under the command of Lu Wenhua, a thousand-household mansion of Lu Wenhua, Wenchong." (To be continued...)r1292
