(The new year is coming, the new January begins, everyone has a happy New Year's Day, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!) ）

Ma Zhou, also known as Ma Da Sha, later generations is Jingjiang, Jiangsu, at this time is still a big sandbar in the Yangtze River, in the upper reaches of Hu Tuzhou more than 100 miles, slightly smaller than Hu Tuzhou.

At this time, Hu Tuozhou was constantly fighting, and Zhou Bao was praying mantis to catch cicadas, and Huang Que was behind, secretly gathering soldiers and horses. On the sandbank, there was a town navy at this time.

This army is Hangzhou Badu, but strictly speaking, Hangzhou Badu is not a town navy.

Zhexi Town gives the town navy, but the southeast towns have always been rich but not armed, here belongs to the financial source of the town, there is money but no soldiers. A few years ago, Wang Ying's rebellion was just a few dozen soldiers in Langshan Town on Hu Tuzhou, but the result was just a few dozen people, but in just two or three years, it swept more than ten states in western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang.

At that time, in order to protect themselves, the wealthy families of the prefectures and counties in Zhejiang and Zhejiang established landlord armies and township soldiers.

Hangzhou City has set up eight such landlord armies, because their numbers are not large, and they take the capital as their name. Among these eight capitals, the stone mirror is the main one.

All of them were established for the army of the late Tang Dynasty, initially a thousand people, but later they were often dissatisfied with the formation, and by the beginning of the Song Dynasty, they had become hundreds of people each. After several years of development, up to now, the Hangzhou Eight Capitals, which were originally established to defend Wang Ying, have actually exceeded 1,000 people.

The history of Hangzhou's assassination under the navy of Zhexi Town has actually been hollowed out by these eight capitals.

The head of Shijingdu is named Dong Chang, a very wealthy tyrant in Lin'an City, Hangzhou. During the Wang Ying Rebellion, he began to erect a large banner to recruit village soldiers. Then he became a small overlord. At this time, Dong Chang's subordinates were under Shijingdu. There are already 5,000 troops. It is indeed a strong party.

In history, Dong Chang relied on Shijingdu to start, and later entered Hangzhou, claiming to be the capital of the division, and set up the history of the assassination, and Zhou Bao had to award him the history of the Hangzhou assassination. After that, Dong Chang's strength continued to expand, and he successively served as the envoy of the righteous victory army, the right servant of the school and the school. After the Huangchao rebel army withdrew from Chang'an. Tang Xizong returned to Beijing from Shuzhong, and Dong Chang took the collection of books from Pei's family of Yuemin and presented it, and was awarded the post of Zhudao interview and book envoy.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court successively crowned Dong Chang as the inspector of the school, the Tongzhong Shumen under the Ping Zhangshi, and the king of Longxi County.

After that, Dong Chang's ambitions became bigger and bigger, and he asked the court to be crowned the king of Yue, but he was unsuccessful and was greatly dissatisfied. Later, Dong Chang established himself as the emperor according to Yuezhou, and the country name was "Dayue Luoping". Self-proclaimed saint.

Although there is no Dayue Luoping established by Dong Chang in the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Qian Bi, the founder of the Wu Yue Kingdom of the Five Dynasties. In fact, it is Dong Chang's subordinates. It can even be said that in history, Dong Chang was able to go from a local tyrant in Lin'an to a warlord who divided the two Zhejiang provinces in the late Tang Dynasty, and even went all the way to the emperor.

It is said that when Qian Biao was born, the room was filled with red light, accompanied by the sound of soldiers and horses. His father, Qian Kuan, was an ominous omen, and he wanted to abandon him in the well, but was stopped by his grandmother. Therefore, Qian Biao got the nickname "Po Liu". Qian Biao has learned martial arts since childhood, and is good at archery, dancing lance, and a little bit of diagrams and weft books. When he grew up, he did not engage in legitimate work and made a living by selling illicit salt.

This year, Qian Biao is 28 years old and is the first general under Dong Chang, the head of Shijing.

Like Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, Qian Biao was also the most heroic and heroic smuggler in the late Tang Dynasty.

Five years ago, when Li Jing resolutely replaced the village chief's son to enlist in the United Army, Qian Biao joined the team of villagers recruited by Dong Chang at about this time. However, compared with Li Jing's legendary experience, Qian Bi's experience is not dull.

After the first few years of silence, Qian Poliu, with the courage she had cultivated in her career as a smuggled salt seller, finally became astonishing.

In the first few years when Qian Biao joined Shijingdu, he followed Dong Chang to fight against Wang Ying, Zhu Zhi, Zhang Duan, Cao Shixiong and other anti-Tang forces, but due to the weak army, there was no eye-catching performance.

When Huang Chao attacked Hangzhou for the first time, Hangzhou Badu did not dare to resist and shrank aside.

But when Huang Chaojun's partial division attacked Hangzhou for the second time, Shi Jingdu and the salt seller surnamed Qian finally had a chance to prove their worth.

When Huangchao attacked Hangzhou for the second time, the Zhenhai Navy at that time was neither Zhou Bao nor Gao Yu, but at that time, it was only a partial division of more than 2,000 people that entered Hangzhou, but the number was more than that of Shijingdu at that time.

At that time, when Qian Biao learned that the Huangchao army was coming, he persuaded Dong Chang: "The Huangchao army has tens of thousands of people, and if you want to cross the valley, you will inevitably be far away, and it will be difficult to meet from end to end. We should have chosen a suitable place to ambush the troops, we will definitely be able to defeat him, and it will be possible to repel his attack on Lin'an. "Dong Chang didn't want to be a praying mantis blocking the car, but he hid far away last time, didn't he have a problem? But he couldn't withstand Qian Di's repeated persuasion, but still agreed, but only gave him twenty soldiers. The meaning is very clear, if you don't dare to go, you can't blame me!

Unexpectedly, Qian Biao still went, he lay in the mountains and forests, and personally shot down the generals of the Huangchao Army with an arrow, disrupting the queue of the Huangchao Army. Encountering an unexpected situation, the "righteous army" rushed to the army, and the shortcomings of low quality were exposed, and the 2,000 people were like ants that had been stabbed in their nests, and they only cared about fleeing for their lives, but they were defeated by Qian Biao's 20 people, trampling on each other on the mountain road, and the casualties were not small.

After repelling the advance of the Huang Chao Army's partial division, Qian Biao also knew that this kind of ambush could not be repeated. When passing by a small shop on the side of the road, Qian Biao had a plan and said to the old woman who opened the shop: "Wait a while, if a team of soldiers and horses arrives, and they ask if you have seen us, you tell them that the army of Lin'an is stationed for 800 miles." ”

After that, when the Huang Chaojun arrived, the general who led the team inquired about the woman, and the woman truthfully told Qian Bi's words. The general didn't know that 800 miles of Lu Road was a place name in Lin'an, and thought that the town navy was mobilizing troops in Lin'an.

At that time, this army was not the main force of Huangchao, but a partial division, and it was impossible to figure out the specific situation for a while, thinking that only a few dozen people had repelled 2,000 people before, so they did not dare to take risks, and simply turned around, so Hangzhou escaped a military disaster, and Qian Biao and Dong Chang also became famous in one fell swoop.

Subsequently. In the battle after the Zhenguo Army sailors went south to encircle and suppress Wang Ying. Hangzhou Badu also sent troops to beat the water dogs. Dong Chang's department recruited troops to buy roads. The soldiers and horses expanded a lot, Dong Chang was awarded the general of Shijing Town, and Qian Biao, as the first general under Dong Chang, was also promoted by Dong Chang to be the commander of the soldiers and horses in Shijing Town.

After Zhou Bao took office as the envoy of the town navy, the eight capitals of Hangzhou were already a little too big to lose, especially Shijingdu had 5,000 troops, and the rest were also two or three thousand, and the strength of the eight capitals of Hangzhou was as many as 20,000 horses. Although it is said that most of these eight soldiers are just village warriors. But because all of them are landlords' arms, and the eight generals are also rich tyrants, spending money to smash equipment, so in the southeast, where the armament is not repaired, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Even Zhou Bao, although he has continuously strengthened the town navy in recent years, if he wants to move the eight capitals, he has to think about it.

However, Zhou Bao has been on the battlefield for a long time and has experienced many towns, but he is not the Wenchen marshal sent by the imperial court. Although on the surface he has not moved the eight capitals. But in fact, he has always regarded these eight as a problem for his henchmen, this time. Zhou Bao used both soft and hard, transferred Hangzhou Badu, and sent it directly to the horse sand.

In the temporary military tent of Dong Chang in Shazhou, the eight generals of Hangzhou gathered together with their respective generals to discuss matters.

Dongchang, Shijingdu of Lin'an County, Chen Sheng of Qingping of Yuhang County, Wu Wenju of Yuqian County, Xu Ji of Yanguan County, Duling of Wu'an of Xincheng County, Dujing of Tangshan County of Tangshan, Wenyu of Fuchun of Fuyang County, and Ling Wenju of Longquan County. The eight generals gathered in one account, although Qian Biao was only the deputy town of Shijingdu, but Shijingdu had 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus Qian Biao's fame, at this time, he also had a seat among the people, and the generals of the other capitals could only stand behind their own generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhou Dashuai has already passed the order, and after dark, I will attack Hu Duzhou immediately." Dong Chang glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice.

Chen Sheng, the Qingping capital of Yuhang County, immediately asked: "Does Zhou Shuai really want to do something with Huainan Gao Shuai?" ”

It is a fact that the former brothers Zhou Bao and Gao Biao, the marshal of Huainan, are now at odds with each other, especially since Li Jing garrisoned the Yangtze River estuary between the two families, the atmosphere has become more dignified. The two families finally used force, which seemed to be expected, but it was really about to fight, and everyone felt a little shocked.

In any case, when it is still Li Tang's world, the two marshals are also Li Tang's marshals and county kings, and at this time, regardless of the order issued by Li Jing, the king of Qin in the Central Plains, they want the two to go to war, and the people are still a little confused about this matter. Although the eight capitals are now powerful, each of them is one of the best wealthy families in Hangzhou, and now they have military power in their hands, and they usually don't even pay attention to the history of Hangzhou. But in the face of Zhou Bao, the commander of the Zhenhai Navy, a marshal from a forbidden army family, no one dared to have any thoughts that would go against the yin.

Qian Biao sat on the side and sneered a few times and said, "If you don't really do it, don't you still fake it, the tall handsome man on the opposite side has already attacked King Qin." The King of Qin held the seal of the Kwantung soldiers and horses, and the commander not only did not obey the orders of the King of Qin, but also dared to raid the Qin army on Hutuozhou, which was tantamount to a rebellion. We are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and obey Zhou Shuai's mobilization, so it is natural to have troops to attack Gao Shuai now. ”

The relationship between Gao Piao, Zhou Bao, and Li Jing is naturally clear to everyone.

Although they were still shocked that Gao Biao dared to make a move on Li Jing, everyone could be considered to understand Zhou Bao's intentions. Gao Biao dared to beat Li Jing, and then he dared to beat Zhou Bao, if Zhou Shuai didn't want to be beaten passively, it was naturally the most suitable to shoot at this time.

However, everyone is also shrewd, and they have already heard some extraneous meanings from Qian Biao's words.

"Did Zhou Shuai only transfer our eight troops?"

Although Liang Zhang had almost captured Hu Tuzhou, his men also suffered heavy casualties, 50,000 horses, according to Zhou Shuai's news, there are now less than 20,000 horses left. And we also have 20,000 soldiers and horses in Hangzhou Badu, Zhou Shuai means that we should go down the river and surround Liang Zhang on Hu Tuzhou first, and the other brothers in the town navy will come to reinforce later. Dong Chang said the meaning of Zhou Bao sent by the visitor.

Although there are still some people who suspect that Zhou Bao wants them to consume with the Huainan army, but since the military order has been issued, no matter what, they can only trust Zhou Bao for the time being and send troops first.

"Send troops immediately after dark, the horse carries the sandbank to Huluzhou for more than 100 miles, down the river, we can arrive in the middle of the night, just to kill Liang Zhang by surprise!" Qian Biao clenched his fists and sneered.

If Liang Zhang can be defeated, then this battle will also be extremely helpful to the reputation of Hangzhou Badu. In particular, among the words handed down by Zhou Bao, Dong Chang and Qian Biao still had a sentence that was not directly said. , Zhou Bao has already said that if Hangzhou Badu defeats Liang Zhang to occupy Hu Tuzhou, then many of the money, grain and commodities in those warehouses on Hu Tuzhou can all belong to Badu. The money, grain, and goods on Hu Tuzhou are a huge fortune, if it weren't for that, Dong Chang was afraid that he wouldn't agree to send troops tonight so easily. (To be continued......)
