Time goes back to the beginning of dawn, after the defeat of Liu Xiyao's troops outside Linhuai City, Li Xin did not withdraw his troops and return to the city, but made a series of bold orders. After a night of fierce fighting, more than 2,000 Sanwei troops followed He Yilong all the way to the west. Niu Jinsong and a battalion officer felt that although they defeated Liu Xiyao's department, it was a surprise attack, and now there are more than 100,000 thieves outside Fengyang Mansion, and their more than 2,000 tired divisions collided headlong, isn't it a mud cow into the sea?

Someone once whispered a question: "It is said that there are more than 100,000 people in the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and we have thousands of people piling up, and we can't bite people like mosquitoes?" ”

Some people immediately refuted this statement: "When did the general fight a battle that he was not sure of? What time did it not seem impossible, but it turned out to be a success? ”

As soon as these words came out, the opposition immediately subsided, indeed, the Three Guards had won several times in the almost irreversible Jedi, and finally won the victory, but now that they think about it, they have played an unprecedented role. And everyone's morale has also been greatly improved, and they are full of vigor and spirit, and they go straight to Fengyang Mansion.

Ordinary soldiers only had the share of nonsense to talk about this, but several battalion officers under Li Xin's command knew very much about the actual situation of the Three Guards, and several battalion officers such as Niu Jinsong and Heisenberg asked Li Xin to make it clear.

And Li Xin announced in public with a confident attitude that Lu Jiu had taken the main force of the Three Guards Army and marched west along the Huai River by fleet, and if their actions were a little slower at this moment, this credit might be snatched by Lu Jiu.

After hearing this, the battalion officers were greatly encouraged, and without hesitation, they ordered to follow He Yilong's troops all the way to the west.

Even Li Xin was surprised by the next progress, in the process of following He Yilong's department, Ma Shouying actually chose to take the initiative to retreat, and the retreat simply evolved into a big rout, the old, weak, sick and disabled were left behind, and they were ruthlessly slaughtered by He Yilong's department.

The vast majority of these abandoned thieves were women, the elderly, and even children who had not yet grown up. In the face of these former comrades-in-arms, He Yilong's subordinates did not have the slightest sympathy, and the knife saw blood, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and there were almost no living people in the places they passed, and blood flowed like a river in the blink of an eye.

It was only then that Li Xin discovered that the so-called army of thieves was often hundreds of thousands, and it turned out that even women and children were included.

Faced with such a situation, Niu Jinsong both relieved his hatred and sighed, "I obviously hate these rogues who should be killed, but today I see them being slaughtered, this heart, this heart is still a little uncomfortable!" General, tell me, what is the truth of this? ”

Li Xin was silent, in the war era, human nature has long been tormented by hunger and death, and the most basic desire in people's hearts is to live in this era of cannibalism without blinking, and to live by all means, and for this purpose, they must annihilate their humanity, otherwise they will be eaten by others. Therefore, the change of dynasties is always caused by these people who have nothing and have nothing to annihilate their humanity and release the first arrow.

And this annihilation spreads like a plague, and no one can resist it, because if you refuse to accept it, you will be greeted with death. After that, even the most powerful dynasty will be like dominoes, one after another unstoppably falling, until the last card helplessly falls, and the dynasty will be completely buried in the dust of history.

Back to the current Ming Dynasty, aren't all his cards falling down one by one? Despite the efforts of many people to try to stop this trend, it seems that in the end it will be useless. Just like his Li Xin's actions, integrating southern Mongolia and thwarting the attempts of the Manchu Tartars to go south, these are only aimed at the pain of the Ming Dynasty. And the real trouble of the Ming Dynasty has revealed the tip of its iceberg.

Li Xin suddenly asked Niu Jinsong beside him: "If you hadn't fled north and met the Three Guards, you might have voted for them!" ”

This sentence seems to be asking, but the answer seems to be implied in the words. In this regard, Niu Jinsong naturally denied it. "How is that possible? I was born as a member of the Three Guards, and death was a ghost of the Three Guards......"

It's just that while he said something, he still didn't want to admit it in his heart, if he really went south, in order to survive, for a bite to eat, what kind of thieves and soldiers would he care, just afraid, only afraid...... Thinking of this, he was so excited that he didn't dare to think about it anymore, what was he afraid of?

Li Xin seemed to see through his thoughts, and even sighed rarely: "For a mouthful of food, let alone a thief, even if he votes for a tartar, what can you blame him?" Could the imperial court be able to count on the one hand to loot the last life-saving grain in the mouths of the people, and on the other hand to unrealistically force them to be loyal to the court that had plundered them? It's just funny, it's funny! ”

Niu Jinsong was stunned by Li Xin's words, he couldn't understand these words, but he also faintly felt that this was definitely a big rebellion. The common people are all the people of the great tomorrow, and the monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers and sons, this is an understandable thing, why did the general count it out in detail, and he actually felt that there seemed to be some truth?

Just as he didn't know how to answer, Niu Jinsong suddenly found that He Yilong had appeared on the battlefield, and the city gate was also open, and a group of men and horses rushed out, as if they were negotiating something with He Yilong. Soon, He Yilong led more than a dozen people into Fengyang City with the general who came out of the city, and the thieves and thieves cleaned the battlefield on the spot, gathered the horse guard and dismantled the camp tent that he had taken away.

"General, He Yilong, this thief must be eliminated, otherwise these more than 10,000 thieves will be a hidden danger sooner or later!"

Li Xin nodded, Niu Dan said well, he glanced at the black man in front of him, he has grown from an ignorant and straightforward man, to a qualified general, no wonder later generations can always hear a sentence on TV, war is the best school, and the army is the best furnace for training talents, it seems that this statement is true.

"Wait, wait, it's not the time yet. When Lu Jiu arrives, it's time for us to do it! ”

Niu Jinsong was suddenly awe-struck, turned his head to look at Li Xin, and stammered and asked, "Could it be that you want to kill all these more than 10,000 people?" ”

……

Although He Yilong's heart was already thunderous, he still had to maintain his calm state in front of Zhu Dadian, the governor of Fengyang. So, let the thief slowly say what was going on. The thief was also too poor in expression, and it took a long time to explain the matter simply.

Even so, He Yilong was still confused, and he could only make three rough judgments in the description of the thief's preface and afterword, first, the official army was Li Xin. Second, Li Xin entered the camp and killed one of his henchmen. Third, if he doesn't go back, these officers and soldiers may have to make inch, and even make a big mess.

Thinking of this, He Yilong even used this as an excuse to ask Zhu Dadian for his resignation. Zhu Dadian heard that there were officials and soldiers who came to find trouble with He Yilong, so naturally he couldn't keep it anymore, and at the same time, in order to show goodwill, he repeatedly said that he would also raise troops and horses and go with him.

He Yilong agreed without thinking about it. First of all, he couldn't understand Li Xin's details, except for the people guarding Linhuai, there can be 2,000 people and horses that can be brought out, which is a big mark, and he has tens of thousands of troops, if he really clashes face-to-face, he is not his opponent. Secondly, just pulled Zhu Dadian over and stood on his side, and the chances of winning were one more point. In fact, he still had a faint thought in his heart, that is, to let Zhu Dadian see how he made Li Xin deflated.

He Yilong bowed his hand and thanked him: "Zhu Butang has helped, how can Yilong repay him?" ”

Zhu Dadian waved his hand worthlessly, laughed, and at the same time raised his hands and arched at his right temple: "It's all for the court, peace talks or not, go!" The old man also wants to see that the person who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head has a few noses and a few faces! ”

After speaking, the two of them went with their arms again, Zhu Dadian ordered his own soldiers, and ordered hundreds of people to be transferred out of the city with him. After all, they are both officers and soldiers, and they are not going to meet each other in short arms, and there are hundreds of people who are enough to fill the façade and have a long momentum. He Yilong talked about Li Xin and his person along the way, but he was also quite disdainful in his words, bluntly saying that this person's ability is limited, his strength is narrow, he sells his reputation, and he is looking for trouble for himself several times. This description confirmed Zhu Dadian's impression of Li Xin, so he also echoed a few sentences, which means that this is really the case.

It wasn't until Zhu Dadian and He Yilong came out of the east gate of Fengyang Mansion that they were stunned to find that the shape of the scene was not as simple as they had imagined just now.

Zhu Dadian's first reaction was that it was broken, there were fewer people, and he would have ordered all the people if he knew it. But then it was like a deflated ball, and I regretted again and again that I shouldn't have stupidly taken the initiative to stretch out my legs to wade through this muddy water. So, he peeked at He Yilong, and his heart trembled, but when he saw this person who was full of smugness a moment ago, his face was also full of consternation. Seeing He Yilong's reaction, he was even more uncertain about the development of the situation in front of him, and unconsciously persuaded: "The vertical force is big, let's avoid it first!" Zhu Dadian regretted it as soon as he said this, as a feudal official, how could he be frightened by Wufu Qiu Ba? How can you be an official when you spread it?

He Yilong also nodded, "Zhu Butang is right, you can't hit a stone with an egg!" ”

But see, outside the east gate of Fengyang Mansion City, the swords and guns are forested, the phalanx of tens of thousands of people is vertical and horizontal, a Ming army battle flag hunts in the wind, the red flag is embroidered with a big black Li character, at the forefront is dozens of cannons, the muzzle of the black hole is pointing directly at He Yilong and others, and the gunner with a torch in his hand stands on the side of the tail of the cannon, as long as the arm is down, you can leave no piece of armor for them!

Zhu Dadian felt that his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help but say again: "This, how did you say this, why did the officials and soldiers still surround the officials and soldiers?" ”
