"Yo ho!" The bandits rushing from the opposite side shouted unscrupulously, and the bandit at the front shook his hand, and a lasso accurately put on Qin Mu's head, Qin Mu's body fell and narrowly escaped.

Qin Mu was surprised in his heart, you must know that it is not uncommon for people in the Central Plains to play equestrian haode, but there are definitely not many who can use a lasso.

The bandit on the horse also seemed to be a little surprised, and as soon as he put away the lasso, hehe daxiao said: "This dog official is about to fall, I didn't expect to be able to avoid my rope in the sky, it's really an eighty old lady jumping upside down, evil door!" ”

"Haha, Brother Huo plays slowly, the brothers show you around, and make sure that the fat sheep can't run away."

"Huo Sheng!" Meng Ke suddenly took off the hat on his head and roared violently, and the sound was like thunder.

"Mong! It's General Meng! It's General Meng! The bandits on the opposite side saw Meng Ke's face clearly, the expression on his face was extremely rich, whether he was surprised or delighted or surprised was indescribable, one by one he slammed the reins, flew off the horse, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and knelt on one knee and worshipped.

"General Meng! Meet General Meng! ”

"Great, General Meng is not dead, General Meng is not dead, great!"

"General Meng!"

Meng Ke'an sat on his horse, like a mountain standing still, his eyes swept over the six or seven people who had fallen down, and shouted: "Huo Sheng, Cui Feng, Ning Yuan, Ling Zhan, good!" You're amazing! I was one of the four great King Kongs in the Japanese army, but I became a thief who robbed the road, and I robbed Lao Tzu! ”

"Please forgive General Meng, I think General Meng has been killed by a thief"

"So you're going to be in the grass?"

"General Meng!"

"Don't fucking nonsense, these are your minions in the back, I'll give you a pillar of incense time, and let me defeat the gang of thieves on the mountain, otherwise, see how I clean you up."

"The last will obey."

Several big men kneeling on the ground jumped up and beckoned the dozens of minions behind them to immediately kill in the forest.

All this changed so quickly that Qin Mu was a little overwhelmed, he watched quietly, without saying a word, when Meng Ke was giving orders, the smell of iron and blood made Qin Mu very impressed;

This is definitely a powerful aura that can only be formed by crawling from the pile of dead people, cold, hard, decisive in killing, and every word has an unquestionable taste.

It wasn't until he found Qin Mu looking at him with a smile that Meng Ke withdrew his blazing gaze, he knew that Qin Mu would not be the master but inquired about his previous affairs, this time he said more honorably: "At the beginning in Liaodong, although they were only 100 households, they fought extremely bravely, but their temperament was also unruly, and they participated in the troubles in the army.

What happened later, Meng Ke didn't say any more, and seemed reluctant to mention it.

But Qin Mu could already guess that Yuan Chonghuan knew that it would be a fool's dream to take five years to level Liao, but the words had already been released, and he had to find a way to fill this hole.

After arriving at the Liaodong Governor, he often had private correspondence with Huang Taiji, hoping to promote peace between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because once the two sides negotiated peace, he would not have to "level Liao for five years".

From the overall situation at that time, it was not necessarily bad to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when Huang Taiji had brothers and uncles and nephews competing for the throne, Mongolian Lin Dan Khan in the west, and North Korea in the east, Huang Taiji was eager to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, and the sincerity of the peace negotiations did not need to be doubted.

If the two sides really negotiate peace, the Ming can concentrate on quelling the domestic rebellion and sorting out the internal affairs for the future. At least one thing is certain, if peace had been negotiated with the Manchus at that time, the Ming Dynasty would never have perished so quickly.

However, the Ming court insisted on incompromise and refused to negotiate peace, which made it difficult for Yuan Chonghuan to fill the huge hole of "five years of Pingliao".

The Qing army attacked Beijing for the first time, mainly to force the Ming court to negotiate peace. And Yuan Chonghuan could not get rid of the suspicion that he had a private agreement with the Tartars and forced Chongzhen to sign an alliance under the city.

No matter what Yuan Chonghuan's original intention was, because he couldn't get rid of the suspicion of collusion with the Tartars, he finally ended up with a thousand cuts.

A heavy general like Zu Dashou is a native of Liaodong, and the family shili is entrenched in the Liaodong army, and the imperial court does not dare to pursue it, but if the foundation in Liaodong is not deep, and he is Yuan Chonghuan's confidant, such a general will inevitably be purged.

Meng Ke probably falls into the latter category.

What Qin Mu has to do now is not to inquire into the past of these people, but how to make these people truly useful for himself.

In this world, when the tiger is shaken, others may bow their heads and worship, but the times are also indispensable. Once you've mastered a strong enough "momentum", it's not hard to get others to obey.

But Qin Mu does not have such a "potential" now. Meng Ke is willing to follow, firstly, he has no other good place to go, and secondly, he owes Qin Mu a life, but this does not mean that he will be obedient to Qin Mu.

Along the way, the relationship between Qin Mu and Meng Ke was a little delicate, and Qin Mu called him back and forth from time to time, but this kind of shouting was issued by Qin Mu as a "creditor", not a master-slave relationship in the ordinary sense.

Meng Ke has always been taciturn, as long as he doesn't go too far with Qin Mu's shouting, he will do it, but he maintains an original arrogance, and he will never bow down like an ordinary servant.

The grass coward on the mountain was easily defeated by Huo Sheng, Cui Feng and others, and when Huo Sheng and the others came back, there was still blood dripping from the knife edge, and they were murderous one by one, and they regarded this move as child's play.

They only glanced at Qin Mu, and then went up to pay the order to Meng Ke, and it was not difficult to see from their eyes that no one treated Qin Mu as a green onion.

Qin Mu smiled faintly, and simply took Qiao'er to rest under the tree on the side of the road, and let them ignore anything.

Qin Mu was impressed by the strength of the little girl, and she never shouted bitterness or tiredness along the way, and when she stopped, she insisted on serving tea and water to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu took the water bladder, patted the blades of grass beside him and pulled the little girl over: "Sit down and drink saliva first, if you are tired, lie down." ”

"Childe, I'm fine." While answering, the little girl helped him pull up his messy hair, and took out a square scarf from his baggage and tied it.

"Alright, sit down, here's the order."

The little girl immediately sat down obediently, Qin Mu couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, it seems that he can only let this girl obey the order now.

Okay, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house, and the order of the world starts with the command of this little girl.

Meng Ke here, after talking with Huo Sheng and the others for a long time, Huo Sheng turned his head and glanced at Qin Mu in the distance, and said with a little contempt: "According to what the general said, this person is just a person who has fallen off the list, and he is lucky to make up for the lack of a seven-grade Zhi County. ”

Cui Feng, Ning Yuan, and Ling Zhan also persuaded one after another, but Meng Ke did not say whether he could do it, but only replied lightly: "I owe him a life." ”

"General, even if you owe him a life, you paid it off just now, if the general hadn't rescued him, he would have died ten times just now."

"Don't underestimate him, in addition to saving his life, I am even more curious about him, Huichang now has bandits entrenched, the first two governors died in office, no one dared to rush to the post for a year, he was alone, not only did not put the bandits of Huichang in his eyes, but also hurried to hurry, said that Zhang Xianzhong, who was defeated by Danshui, would soon capture Huangzhou, Macheng and other places, and the momentum was greatly boosted, and in May he would cross the Yangtze River from Yadanzhou and capture Wuchang Fucheng, and go south to Yueyang in August, trap Changsha, and sweep Hunan, and the soldiers pointed to Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places."

"What kind of mess, this person can't be crazy, right?"

"That is, now Zhang Xianzhong is still shrinking in Danshui, and he may be wiped out by the army of the imperial court at any time, where is what he said?"

Meng Ke smiled faintly and said: "If you are willing to follow me, you can observe for yourself, he doesn't seem to be like a crazy person, in short, I am very curious, what is he going to catch up with Zhang Xianzhong?" ”

"General, he's obviously talking nonsense, do you really believe him?"

"That is, does the general still plan to go down with him?"

"No matter what, I can't go unpaid for saving my life, I will at least escort him to Huichang, and wait for him to settle down before staying."

"Okay, now that the general has made a decision, I'll follow the general on this journey."

"You have to follow me, don't call me a general in the future, call me Brother Meng."

"Yes, Brother Meng!"

When Qin Mu went on the road again, there were twenty or thirty more big men behind him, one by one, looking at each other, and the fierce light was revealed, which was not a good thing for Qin Mu, at least for now, these people looked at him like a wolf looking at a sheep.

If it weren't for Meng Ke's presence, Qin Mu might have become the target of their slaughter at any time.

This reminded Qin Mu, and after that, he also began to take in some able-bodied people as his entourage along the way, in this troubled world full of displaced people, as long as you can provide three meals a day, there are a lot of people willing to go with you, I am afraid that you will not be able to ask so much.

Qin Mu in line with the principle that the soldiers are not expensive, the people are all carefully selected, not burly, young and strong people do not want, soldiers are preferred, among the displaced people, there are many defeated soldiers, Qin Mu received a hundred strong men before and after, and many have military experience.

He didn't waste any time, he asked these people to practice martial arts in the morning and evening, and during the day he practiced as a rapid march, and whoever dared to complain that he was tired, he would spit out what he had eaten, and then roll up!

Along the way, Huo Sheng and the others wanted to slaughter Qin Mu from time to time, so as to pull Meng Ke to "do big things", and Qin Mu also thought about how to swallow them, who is the wolf and who is the sheep, who knows?
