Chapter 375: Yellow Tiger Appears
After the thieves entered Shanxi, in just two or three months, the momentum was greatly boosted, in this case, the sudden abandonment of the city into the mountain, has surprised the civil and military forces in Shanxi, and before entering the mountain and suddenly divided the troops, no one could have imagined, and after the division of troops, there was a team that actually went north quickly, it was even more unexpected!
Therefore, when Gao Yingxiang's camp and Ma Shouying's return camp crossed the Lishi River Valley and suddenly appeared outside Lanxian County, the officials and people of Lanxian County didn't even have time to close the city gate, so they were taken down by the vanguard of thieves who pretended to be homeless people and mixed into the city.

Of course, the ending was very miserable, in the small county town of Lanxian County, with a population of more than 10,000, only more than 400 people escaped in the end, most of the rest were killed, and some young people and women were taken away.
As in the case of Lan County, Jingle County in the upper reaches of Fenshui was also defenseless, and the limited patrol and inspection soldiers did not play a role.
Because there were no battle scenes of siege and defense of the city at all.
The vanguard of the thieves still pretended to be refugees who fled north, and it was not until they came to the city gate that they took out their sharp blades and suddenly attacked.
So when Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shouying arrived with a large number of thieves, Li Zicheng, the pioneer of the camp, and Huang Hu, the pioneer of the Hui Army, who returned to the camp, had already occupied the south gate, and all they needed to do was to restrain the troops and enter the city in an orderly manner.
Of course, compared with Lan County, the people of Jingle are still lucky so far, because it has only been two or three days since the camp broke into and returned to the camp to occupy Jingle, and there has not yet been a large-scale looting and massacre before the evacuation.
Needless to say, Li Zicheng has the idea of doing the right thing for heaven, so he abides by Gao Yingxiang's military discipline of breaking into the camp, although he doesn't say that he is disciplined, but at least he will not kill innocents at will.
As for the vicious-looking Huang Hu, of course, he has always implemented the rules of returning to the camp, and he is dedicated to killing people for fun, but it has not yet come to the time to open the knife, so he has not really done it yet.
This Yellow Tiger is a ruthless character who quickly emerged after returning to the camp and entering Shanxi, and now he is the leader of the Hui Army in the back camp.
If you want to talk about his name, of course, no one knows it at this time, but a few years later, he will become a big thief who is as famous as Li Zicheng and shocks the world together.
Because his name is Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong is several years older than Li Zicheng, and his life experience is much richer than Li Zicheng, at least his border army experience helped him a lot after the riots in Jiaxian County, Suide Prefecture at the end of the first year of Chongzhen.
Zhang Xianzhong was also born in the border army of Yansui Town, and was a pawn in Yansui Town during the Apocalypse, because he broke the law in the army, he was held by the main general Wang Wei, and he was originally going to be beheaded and executed, but just before the beheading, he was let go by another "strange appearance" general Chen Hongfan.
The reason why Chen Hongfan, the general of Yansui Town, will be "strange in appearance" is because Zhang Xianzhong is thin and tall, his limbs are longer than others, and he is especially good at bow and horse fighting.
Just because of his strange appearance, Chen Hongfan, who was a general, let go of the yellow tiger Zhang Xianzhong who broke the law in private.
And after letting go, Chen Hongfan, the general of Yansui Town, didn't have anything to do, and finally transferred to another place and achieved a high position in the general army.
It can be seen that the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty has become so serious that it is so strange.
Zhang Xianzhong escaped death, and after escaping a catastrophe, he naturally became a fugitive with no identity, so he hid in Tibet in the name of Huanghu and made a living by robbing homes and houses.
After two years in this way, Zhang Xianzhong, who changed his name to Huanghu, finally waited for an opportunity for him in his hometown Suidezhou.
After Ma Shouying killed officials and rebelled in the city of Jiaxian County, Zhang Xianzhong, who was also from the border army of Yansui Town, rushed to meet him, Ma Shouying saw that this was not the famous Yellow Tiger in the army that year, and he was now reused and became a small leader who returned to the camp with a team of Han people thieves.
Ma Shouying's return to the camp is naturally based on Hui Mu Suman, but this kind of thing is a matter of killing officials and rebelling, and he does not distinguish between returning to Han at critical moments, so there are Han people in his return camp.
The Han people naturally had to be managed by the Han people, so Zhang Xianzhong ushered in his opportunity.
With the Huihui camp east across the Yellow River, into Shanxi, all the way to conquer the city, wrapped in the Han people young and strong, back to the camp more and more Han people, to divide the troops to the north, in order to facilitate management, Ma Shou should separate the Hui Han, with the Han people who are thieves as auxiliaries, and set up another army as an attached army.
And Huanghu Zhang Xianzhong immediately rose to the top, and then became the leader of the Hui Army.
Although the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty has undergone some changes since the current Emperor Chongzhen crossed, and it has affected the trend of many people and events, history has its own historical inertia, and history has its own historical cause and effect, and it will not become unrecognizable all of a sudden because of the changes in the Beijing division thousands of miles away.
Li Hongji still changed his name and became Li Zicheng, and he defected to Gao Yingxiang, and as in history, he soon became Gao Yingxiang's trusted general.
And Zhang Xianzhong, who called himself Huang Hu, although he was mixed in the Huihui camp at the beginning, but at this time he also began to emerge quickly, and he is becoming a pivotal figure in the Huihui camp.
Let's say that these two people jointly grabbed the south gate of Jingle County, and successfully opened the passage for the army to enter the city and return to the camp.
Because he was worried that the children and soldiers of the general camp under his command would follow back to the camp and become corrupt in military discipline, and he did not want to break into the general camp to participate in the massacre of innocent people in the city again, Li Zicheng asked Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, for an order to camp at the intersection more than ten miles to the south to prevent the officers and soldiers from chasing him.
Someone took the initiative to ask Ying to go to guard that important place, Gao Yingxiang agreed on the spot, and the old man returned to Ma Shouying who was also happy that someone did not go into the city to grab things from him, and stayed outside the city to take care of himself.
In this way, Li Zicheng led the children and soldiers of the general battalion to the exit of the valley near the cross slope, and encountered the cavalry under Sun Chuanting there, and bore the brunt of the bad luck.
When Li Zicheng encountered Du Wenhuan's first impact, he won the victory, and then the news of the victory was transmitted back to Jingle.
Although Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shouying were surprised by the speed at which the officials and soldiers were chasing, they heard that Li Zicheng was very effective in guarding Gukou, and their hearts were temporarily relieved.
However, what they didn't expect was that they had just seen the minions sent by Li Zicheng to report the victory, and in less than half an hour, they ushered in Li Zicheng's child soldiers again, and this time the situation was not good, the official army came again.
Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shouying immediately realized that it was not the trailing rangers who were repulsed in front, but the vanguard of the main force of the official army.
In the evening, after waiting for hundreds of child soldiers who had fled back from the cross slope, the two finally realized the gravity of the situation.
That night, the county hall in Jingle City was brightly lit, because during the day had received the news of Li Zicheng's warning, and in the afternoon, there were children and soldiers who broke into the camp and fled back to the city.
The thief is not a court official, it stands to reason that after the boss sets the tone in one sentence, he will do what he should do next, and he doesn't need to gather people to discuss matters all the time, otherwise what do you want your boss to do.
But now the situation in Jingle City is complicated, the two bosses who broke into the camp and returned to the camp do not agree very much, and there are also battalions in their respective camps, factions and factions, some want to run, some want to defend, and they can't hurt the harmony of the friendly army, so Gao Yingxiang had to discuss with Ma Shouying and listen to the opinions of the leaders under his command.
He Yilong was one of the first few leaders to defect to Gao Yingxiang in the camp, and he was also one of Gao Yingxiang's right-hand men, and he also understood the thoughts of his own king at this time, so when he saw that everyone was talking about everything, he slapped the official hat chair with a knife, squinted his small eyes and said loudly: "Noisy eggs, shut up the fuck!" ”
He Yilong's words caused a burst of anger, but the thieves finally quieted down.
He Yilong is burly and powerful, making a steel knife weighing dozens of pounds, and there are few opponents in melee combat, and now he is the first fierce general under Gao Yingxiang.
Seeing that the "Juyi Hall" was quiet, He Yilong then said loudly: "It's all fucking noisy, don't you understand the rules or what?!" Let's listen to what the two big brothers have to say first! ”
After He Yilong finished speaking, all the leaders on the side of the camp who were sitting at the bottom of the camp agreed in favor.
