Surabaya is also an extremely important tributary of the lower section of the Huaishui, the basin brings together many rivers such as Suishui, Bianshui, Tongshui, Yishui, etc., there are lakes such as Qingshuize and Fulingze in the south, and Peize and Juyeze in the north, which together constitute a huge water system connected between the Yellow River and Huaishui.

The water area here is vast, the rivers and lakes are interconnected, the swamps and reeds are mixed, and the terrain is extremely complex. Therefore, in troubled times, this area often becomes a source of trouble, because there are not many roads for the army to sweep deeply, once the rebels gather here, the disease of scabies can often cause problems in the heart.

In the early years, the Northern Expedition of the ancestors was based on this, which was the starting point to raise food and finally swept the land of Henan. A few years ago, during the Huaishang War, many of the rebels fled into this area, and it has developed into a large-scale rebel force.

Although the Xuzhou army has been advancing in other places in the past few years, sweeping the entire territory of Xuzhou, even as far as Qing and Yan, it is helpless against Liu Zheng's rebellious army entrenched here. And because of the frequent wars and turmoil around them, the leaders of the Xuzhou Army from all walks of life could not talk about any strict military discipline, and the local villagers did not have much awareness of welcoming Wang Shi, in order to avoid military disasters, a large number of people poured into Heze, and then they were mastered by the chaotic army, but gradually grew stronger.

Earlier, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Xi Jian had also organized several encirclement and suppression against the rebel army, but either most of them were assembled, trapped in the terrain and returned without success, or a small group of troops was broken separately. Liu Zheng's rebellious army also made full use of the advantages of the terrain, if the invading enemy was too strong, he would break his troops into pieces, use the complex river ditch to hide his whereabouts, and if the enemy army entered separately, he would concentrate superior forces to attack him.

So far, this place has evolved into an embarrassing situation, and the chaotic army roaming in the Surabaya area cannot be suppressed, and if it is ignored, it will become a problem in the heart. Therefore, we can only place some troops in the surrounding area to prevent these chaotic troops from rushing out of the troubled places in Heze.

Wang Xue Nai is a captain of the Surabaya Rebellion Army, although the name sounds poetic, but in fact he is a burly man with a burly body, a pockmarked face, and a thirty-five or sixteen year old. The fact that he was able to serve as a lieutenant in the chaotic army had little to do with the level of force, mainly because he was a fishing and hunting official in the Langya Kingdom, and his ancestral fishing and hunting skills were quite clever, so he was elected as the leader by the surrounding rebels.

People may think that the area of Surabaya, where the rebel army is entrenched, may be chaotic and the people are not happy, but in fact, the river is much calmer and more peaceful than the outside world. There is no lack of solid soil islands between the ditches and meadows, and the people have their own side to make a living through fishing, hunting and wood.

Wang Xue is originally from Langya Fei County, which was originally the feudal state of Emperor Yuan of the Jin Dynasty in the south. However, when Wang Xue grew up, the original lord King Langya had already crossed the river south and became the emperor in Jiangdong. However, as an ordinary official household in Langya County, Wang Xue didn't know much about this kind of major event, only knew that the city was changing the king's banner at that time, and no matter who occupied the place, they had endless things to do every day.

The reason why he was coerced from the countryside of Fei County to Qingshuize, which is near Surabaya hundreds of miles to the south, was not what his people wanted, but he only knew that at that time, all the officials in the county were used as soldiers to fight to the south. At that time, Wang Xue already had a wife and children in the township, but those soldiers did not reason with him, and sent a rusty bamboo gun in his hand, and then he was coerced all the way to the south.

But after a few years, the team advanced to Jiaocheng, which was closer to Huaishui, and this time stayed longer. And Wang Xue was also able to follow the team to participate in several battles, although it was a battle, but in fact there was no tragic fighting, often the leading generals led the soldiers to rush forward, they were behind waving rudimentary ordnance howling, and when they rushed into the battlefield, there was no trace of the enemy.

After fighting like this for a few years, he either stayed north of Huaishui or south of Huaishui, and the direction of the charge changed several times, and he didn't even know who he was following or why he was fighting. It is only known that the soldiers in the front line rush forward, they will rush with them, and the troops will retreat, and they must retreat faster, otherwise the end will be extremely tragic.

After a few years of such a life, Wang Xue gradually became older, and he didn't even know where the countryside was, and as for the wives and children who were abandoned in the countryside in the early years, they had already forgotten it, and perhaps they had already turned into a few piles of corpses in the wild. Occasionally, I miss my hometown, but I don't know what to miss.

Later, in a battle, Wang Xue and his comrades around him rushed through each other, and he had not experienced any fighting, but he found a mother and daughter lurking in the grass around the chaotic battlefield. At that time, Wang Xue had already run away from the brigade in the chaos, and after discovering this mother and daughter, he was still excited at first, because there was an order in the army that as long as he could bring back the head, he could exchange it for rice grain.

Wang Xue copied the rusty ring knife in her hand and rushed towards the trembling, quail-like mother and daughter, the mother held her young daughter who was only six or seven years old in her arms, and kept kowtowing to Wang Xue to ask for mercy, although Wang Xue couldn't understand the words she shouted, but her demeanor was about the same. But Wang Xue didn't feel much about this, and still slashed the knife in his hand, and these two fresh lives were just a pile of military rations in his opinion.

But when he rushed forward, his ankle was tripped by the kudzu vine in the grass, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the blade of the knife grazed his ear, and the rusty blade was really not sharp, but only a hot pain on the left side of his face.

In the past few years, although she has not experienced any tragic battles, she has been running around like this, and Wang Xue has also experienced good skills. But he did not turn over at the first time after the fall, for from this angle he could see the weeping woman between the ups and downs, and a plump patch flashed on her torn chest. Although the woman's whole body was covered in mud and grass clippings, this abundance gave him a temptation that went far beyond filling his belly.

So he got up, and was not in a hurry to retrieve his sword, but smirked and threw himself at the woman, and crushed her in the grass, leaving the young girl who was in the way, and he left it aside. The woman was very obedient, even pandering, Wang Xue had even forgotten that feeling, but she felt that this woman was much more moving than the lady he was living in the countryside.

But before he could finish his fun, he was interrupted by a sudden pain in his back, and he turned in horror to find the young girl standing behind him with the ring knife he had just discarded, with a face that was not appropriate for his age. However, the wound on his back was not cut by the young girl's sword, but a stray arrow flying from the battlefield.

The woman under whom he was crushing pushed him aside, then rolled over and took the knife from the young girl's hand. At that time, Wang Xue had already closed his eyes, waiting for the butcher knife to fall, and the stray arrow directly pierced his left abdomen, and the more he struggled, the faster he died. In such a world, he was already prepared to die in the wilderness one day. Before he died, he suddenly remembered something, took out a piece of grain cake that had been soaked in blood and sewage from his arms, and raised his hand to hand it to the young girl.

The reason for this action was not to beg for mercy, the arrow had already penetrated his belly, and even if the woman did not kill him, he might not survive. He was just worried that the mother and daughter would not dare to rummage through his body, for fear of wasting food. This piece of grain cake was the life-selling ration he received before the battle, and it would be a pity if he was pecked by fish, shrimp, birds and insects like this.

The girl took the bread and chewed and swallowed it, but the woman's knife did not fall off after a few swings. Instead of killing him, he helped him heal his wounds, but his methods were not very clever, and when he broke and pulled out the stray arrow, his wounds were torn even more severely.

Then Wang Xue cried, half because of the pain, and the other half because the woman's nervous face was covered with sweat, and she held a torn linen cloth in both hands to cover his wounds, which reminded him of the lady at home. The price of the lady in his family is only a broken net and three big fish. The fishing nets were made by himself, and the big fish were caught by himself, perhaps because the price was too cheap, even if it was lost in the township and left to fend for itself, Wang Xue did not feel pity.

But at this moment he cried, probably never in such pain since birth. His cry made the woman even more distracted, and the girl panicked and shoved the blood-soaked bread back into his mouth.

Maybe it was because of the woman's careful care, or maybe Wang Xue was really hard-hitting, and she was so seriously injured, but she still didn't die in the end. By the time he was able to stand up, the battle was already over, and the original battlefield was empty, except for the decomposing corpses that had fallen to the ground. Most of the bodies were disheveled, and in some places there were obvious marks of mutilation. This reminded Wang Xue of the fatty barbecue he ate when he was sick, and he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, and the woman looked at him with a worried face.

In the end, Wang Xue took the woman's hand, held the young girl in her arms, and left this Shura field. They were like a family, wandering in the wilderness for a few days, and finally accepted by a dock wall surrounded by mountains and rivers. After being injured, Wang Xue would have chest and abdominal cramps when he exerted a little force, but he had extraordinary fishing and hunting skills, kneading linen and weaving nets in the dock wall, leading people to fish and hunt in the wilderness to add food, and every harvest was quite rich, but he was quite respected in the dock wall.

Just like that, after a few more years of quiet days in the dock wall, chaos surged again. One day, a group of dozens of knights suddenly appeared in the desolate field outside the dock wall, and rushed directly into the fort, saying that the king was strong and strong, and had repelled the raging army of Qianhu, and the next step was to sweep the Central Plains, so it was necessary to gather people's strength. Nearly 100 families in the dock wall were driven out, and the population was liquidated, and each person had to donate two pieces of grain and five feet of hemp, and it was agreed that they would be delivered in ten days, and if the amount was insufficient, all men would be enlisted in the army for labor.

This variable suddenly cast another shadow on the originally peaceful dock wall. The old master of the dock wall stepped forward to argue, but all he received was a whipping, and he wailed for two days and died. Later, Wang Xue was elected as the main man, but he could not raise the food demanded by those soldiers, so he could only lead the crowd to escape from the dock wall where he had lived for several years a few days before the deadline came and entered Qingshuize.
