When Liu Jun and Mei Zhihuan led the Chu soldiers to the river on a boat, Qin Liangyu led the Bai Gan soldiers to the river on a boat.

Although she was 65 years old, Qin Liangyu still led her troops to fight in person. Since her husband died early and her son was young at that time, she led the Shizhu on behalf of the battlefield. Over the years, she fought countless times, aided Liao, served the king, suppressed rebellions, and suppressed bandits. She also won her great reputation.

However, these reputations were not what she wanted. If she could, she would rather stay at the stone pillar and take care of her husband and children. But the world is not stable, even the chieftains in Shu would not have a quiet place.

Five thousand white-rod soldiers were divided into many ships and sailed down.

Along the way, when I saw Baigan soldiers marching and sending troops on both sides of the river, I even rushed to the riverside to watch. Many elders, gentry, local tyrants, and merchants in the village came to bow and greet them on boats and gave them rewards.

Qin Liangyu just hurriedly met them, and then told them the purpose of this trip, and went to suppress the bandits.

The news that the bandits entered Sichuan again has gradually spread. The people in Kuizhou and Chongqing were also frightened. Now they are relieved to see Shizhu soldiers walking down the river. In recent years, Shizhu's Baigang soldiers, Mrs. Qin, Xiao Ma Chao, General Xiao Qin and others have made great reputations. From the Tianqi Dynasty to the chieftain rebellion of the Chongzhen Dynasty, as well as the previous rebels and thieves entering Sichuan, the Ma and Qin families have made many military achievements.

If they send troops, the bandits will inevitably be driven away.

The autumn wind in August, the boat sails rustled, and the scarlet cloak on Qin Liangyu's body blew in the wind, brushing across Qin Liangyu's face.

Qin Liangyu stood on the bow of the boat, watching the scenes on both sides of the straits keep regressing, and her mind was slightly dazed. How many times has she led her army to send troops?

The scenes on both sides of the river were so skillful that she could even clearly call out the names of the villages and towns on the shore. However, when she saw these familiar scenes again, she found that many places seemed destructive and decaying.

There are even many villages that have become ruins without the lively scenes they once were.conad1;

"Auntie." Qin Yimin stood next to Qin Liangyu. "I passed by several villages in a row, and they all looked like this."

Qin Liangyu looked at her nephew. She was the eldest son of her brother Qin Minping. She had been fighting with her and her brother for many years. She was very brave.

In the first year of Tianqi, his elder brother Qin Bangping led the Bai Gan soldiers to fight with the Later Jin cavalry in Hunhe and died. In the fourth year of Tianqi, another brother Qin Minping was also killed in battle. He left behind two sons, Yimin and Gongmin. At that time, the two nephews broke out and were seriously injured. Later, Yimin and Gongmin continued to fight with her and became three generals among the Bai Gan soldiers, who were with her son.

Yimin, Gongmin and his son Xianglin are now both deputy generals. Qin Liangyu holds the rank of generals. However, as early as the seventh year of Chongzhen, Yimin was promoted to generals. However, later he was demoted twice in a row because of the unfavorable fight against bandits in the Central Plains and finally returned to Shizhu.

Qin Liangyu had seen those things. Hearing this, he sighed, "Even in Shu has not been peaceful in recent years. She Chongming rebelled back then. Although he was defeated quickly, She Chongming and his son fled to Guizhou, but sporadic rebellions in various places were not completely wiped out until the tenth year of Chongzhen, and they were rebelling for more than ten years. During this period, there were trespasses and thieves who fled into Shu twice. In addition, various additional sects in the court, more miscellaneous donations were made in the local area, and there were constant natural disasters. People's lives were getting more difficult every year."

Since Shi Zhu sent troops, Qin Liangyu saw everything he saw along the way, which was shocking. Most of the people were yellow, hungry and thin, and they could not eat.

They are all in Sichuan Tianfu, but now the people in Sichuan have reached their limits.

"Suppressing bandits and bandits, the more bandits are suppressed, the more bandits are suppressed!" Qin Yimin said that he had brought the Baigang soldiers to the Central Plains to suppress bandits with Sichuan Fu. He could once shoot out the mighty Baigang soldiers in front of the Eight Banners soldiers outside the pass, but they were drowned among the bandits. The bandits were just a group of refugees, but they were killed and suppressed endlessly.

"Sichuan must not let the bandits break into, otherwise there will be no peace in the lieutenant general of Sichuan." Although Qin Liangyu was in charge of the rank of general, he could only control the nine rivers and eighteen caves of the stone pillar, which was only two or three hundred miles away.

"Fortunately, most of our men in Shizhu should be recruited for food and can get a military salary. Conad2; this time, we can also earn money for food and money when we send troops."

Since the reputation of the Shizhu Baigang soldiers was established, the imperial court has repeatedly asked them to recruit and train Shizhu Baigang soldiers in recent years. Most of the Shizhu Tu tribes in Jiuxi and 18 caves should be recruited to serve as soldiers. With the food and wages that the court has plundered and rewards received during the battle, many Shizhu people have lived better than before.

However, this also cost a lot. Shizhu Baigang soldiers sent troops again and again, aiding Liao, serving the king, quelling the rebellion, and suppressing bandits. They were everywhere. While making great achievements, countless Shizhu children died in battle and returned in a horse and tied with bodies.

Over the years, almost all the young and strong people in the Xidong Mountain Village of Shizhu Tusi have embarked on the road of joining soldiers and eating food to fight.

But now the war has reached the doorstep of the house. They have fought around and couldn't even keep the peace of the house.

"There is no longer any grain on the market. No grain stores sell grain no longer sell grain. Even if the price was doubled before, it could not buy grain." As the war broke out, the price of grain immediately rose sharply. It was originally seven or eight cents a stone of rice, but now it is difficult to buy rice even if you bid for two or two taels a stone.

"I hope that the bandits can be driven out of Sichuan quickly this time, otherwise our 5,000 troops would not have any food." Qin Gongmin, who was in charge of the army's food and grass, said on the side that they sent troops in a hurry this time, and only carried the food and grass for ten days, and the rest had to be replenished on the spot.

"Fortunately, the water in the river is still deep in this season. As long as we keep the front line of Feng Festival, the thieves cannot find the boat and cannot cross the river."

"Now I just hope that Yang Ge's troops will lead all the troops to come here soon."

Qin Liangyu shook his head, "I'm most afraid of something happening to Premier Mei. If Premier Mei had an accident, the thieves might go down the river and flee back to Huguang. The various officials chased each other for a long time, but he ran away again."

"It is better for thieves to go to Huguang than to go to our Chongqing!" Qin Yimin said.

Several people were talking, and a small boat approached quickly.conad3;

"Mother, good news!" Ma Xianglin came on board, with an excited expression on his face and shouted loudly all the way, "Good news, you won't believe it when you say it. Premier Mei led the Chu soldiers to fight and win three battles with bandits in Wushan. He killed more than 20,000 prisoners of bandits. He also killed ten anti-Kings, sweeping kings, Shuntian kings, world-destroying kings, two tigers, one dragon and other six thieves, and captured Zhang Xianzhong alive!"

The one-eyed horse left with one-eyed horse flashed with excitement, "Mother, the official army is victorious. The bandits are defeated. Now the bandits are defeated south under the leadership of Cao Cao. Premier Mei knows that we have led our army north, and is urgently asking our troops to rush to Tangjiawan, the north bank of Dameixi, north of Fengjie, to meet with him and intercept the bandits together!"

"The opportunity to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop. It's right in front of you!"

When they sent troops, they were worried that the brave Prime Minister would be defeated by the bandits after suddenly entering Sichuan. If the Prime Minister was defeated, their Shizhu would naturally have no choice. Now Prime Minister Mei actually led more than 10,000 Huguang troops to win consecutive battles and defeat the bandits. This is naturally good news, and now the bandits are fleeing. They rushed to cooperate with Prime Minister Mei and just killed the bandits in one fell swoop. This is a great opportunity. It is simply picking peaches.

Qin Liangyu is very familiar with the terrain of Kuizhou. She also knows where Damei River is without looking at the map. Between Dachang and Wushan, there are three ferries, Shangma Ferry, Zhongma Ferry and Xiama Ferry. However, the water is shallow and flat, and it is not suitable for defense. To guard, you can only guard Lannigou, Guanyin Rock, Yasha Rock, Sanhuangling, Mozi Rock, Yuhe Cave, etc.

Now the Chu army defeated the bandits in Lannigou. The bandits no longer marched towards Wushan, but turned south and rushed to Fengchang. Then they had to pass through Baidi City first and then through Tangjiawan.

Qin Liangyu only saw from Mei Zhihuan where to block the thieves in Tangjiawan, he could see that the new prime minister was indeed very proficient in military affairs. Could he achieve such an amazing record?

Mei Zhihuan defended Wushan and Baidi City, defeated the bandits in Lannigou, forcing the bandits to either retreat to Chang and Ning or to come to Tangjiawan. Now, retreating to Changning is a dead end, because Yangge's troops are leading all the troops to chase Chuan. Going back to the river is looking for death.

"I know how the Chu soldiers were injured or killed? How many people and horses are there? How many soldiers and horses are there in the bandits?" Only by knowing that they have known each other can they be defeated in a hundred battles.

"The Chu army had almost no casualties in the first two battles, but Lannigou was restricted due to heavy rain and firearm troops, which caused more than 3,000 casualties. Now the governor of Huguang, Yuan Jixian, led his subordinate battalion to guard Wu, and the governor of Yunyang, Li Changgeng, led his subordinate battalion to guard Baidi City. Premier Mei and General Liu, led more than 15,000 Chu soldiers and were rushing to Tangjiawan by boat."

"In the three battles, nearly 20,000 enemies were killed, six thief leaders were killed, and Zhang Xianzhong was captured alive. He actually only suffered more than 3,000 casualties? And just a battle with 50,000 or 60,000 bandits, he was able to immediately join the battle again? Is this the Chu army, the Beijing camp transferred from the north, or the Guanning Iron Cavalry outside the Pass?"

Qin Yimin was also a powerful general who had fought for many years. He had encountered any kind of opponent, but for this reason, it became increasingly difficult for him to believe that Mei Zhihuan and his team could fight three consecutive wars in just ten days, only paying such a small amount of casualties, and now they are on the battlefield again.

The White Sling Soldier is known as the elite in the world, and he dare not say that he is so brave.

"Even the Jing Camp is not that powerful." Ma Xianglin shook his head. He was fighting through the sea of ​​blood. He knew that there were actually not many battalions that could be fought in the Jing Camp, but the generals who commanded the troops were more powerful. "No, even the Guanning Iron Cavalry may not be able to fight in such a way."

"There is nothing impossible in the battle formation. Since that's the case, now is a great opportunity to annihilate the bandits. We have to speed up the reinforcements of Prime Minister Mei."

"There are at least 40,000 bandits. Are we really going to fight in Tangjiawan?" Qin Yimin said.

"More than 50,000 bandits were defeated by Premier Mei. Now there are 40,000 left. Our Baigang soldiers and Premier Mei's Chu soldiers can't defeat these defeated generals?" Qin Liangyu sneered twice, "And we have Yang Ge's troops and other armies coming."

Qin Yimin smiled and said, "After Xianzhe rebelled against Gucheng this year, the emperor once awarded a reward for anyone who could capture and kill Zhang Xianzhong, and was awarded a title of marquis and 10,000 gold. Unfortunately, we have no chance this time. I don't know which general of the Chu army is so lucky."

"Well, yes, the court has twice been awarded meritorious officials since its founding and Jingnan. There have been very few people who have awarded meritorious titles for their merits. However, the royal relatives and those eunuchs have given merits with their families. In recent dynasties, I remember that only Wang Mingyang, who quelled the rebellion of Ningwang, was the one who was granted the titles for Xinjian Bo. Li Chengliang, who had been in charge of Liaodong for 30 years in Wanli, was he named Ningyuan Bo?"

"Well, it's almost the same. Although the court issued heavy rewards many times during the Jingtai and other courts. Some people who captured and killed the captive heads in the north were granted a title, but the rewards were offered several times, but they were just water moons in the mirror. No one could have done it, so they had never received titles. This time, the Chu army was really lucky. The emperor actually gave such a reward to a thief leader."

"You have also heard of his name, the guerrilla general whom His Majesty had just awarded him not long ago. Now he is the chief officer of Premier Mei. Oh, by the way, I heard that the court had just promoted him to generals to generals. In no time, this general Liu will be the first person who has won the title of military merit in the past sixty years since Li Chengliang won the title of military merit in the Ming Dynasty."

The few people on the bow couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Liu Jun's good luck, captured a refugee bandit leader, and could actually be named a marquis. Thinking about the Shizhu and Qin and Ma families, they fought for the court in the east, west, and fought south and north for many years, and made many military achievements, but they were not as good as Liu Jun's capture of Zhang Xianzhong. You must know that Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by their subordinates as early as the seventh year of Chongzhen. Thinking of this, his envy turned into jealousy.

"Okay, don't envy and be jealous of others. Now the big thieves are right in front of us. It depends on how many of our abilities we can kill. If you want to reward, just rely on your ability." Qin Liangyu said loudly. "Don't talk too much, speed up, arrive at Tangjiawan as soon as possible to meet with Mei Tutor."

Taking a boat down the river, Qin Liangyu's five thousand white-rod soldiers marched at a speed. It was not yet dark, and it was almost dusk. They had already passed by Fengjie, the Fucheng City, and soon arrived at the mouth of the Damei River. At the mouth of the river, you can already see the river ship patrolling the river, which was the Chu army's ship.

The arrival of the Shizhu soldiers had already been known to the Chu army.

When Liu Jun heard that Qin Liangyu and Baigan soldiers arrived, he personally took a boat to the river entrance to greet him.

The 40,000 to 50,000 bandits were still wandering around the mountainous areas. So many people and horses were carrying a large amount of supplies and family members of the old camp. They couldn't be faster. Liu Jun and his team quickly retreated from the battlefield to Wushan with the baggage camp and a large number of mules and horses, and then took a boat to Tangjiawan. It seemed that they had gone a long way, but most of the road was on a boat, and the speed was fast, but instead they ran to the front of the thief army.

Now, with the arrival of five thousand white pole soldiers, the bandits will surely be unable to fly. (To be continued.) Mingshu.com mobile reading address:
