With the help of the second brother, Yingyi finally found Sun Xiucai's residence.

He was actually a little worried that Sun Xiucai would not be able to enter Ye County. Although Sun Xiucai is a scholar, he is not omnipotent after all, in case he is rejected from the city, with Sun Xiucai's thin arms and legs, I am afraid that people will be cold after a few days.

knocked on the door, and Sun Xiucai's familiar voice came from inside: "Who." ”

Ying Yi said: "It's me, Sun Xiucai." ”

I heard a rush inside, and as soon as the door opened, Sun Xiucai came out in a robe, revealing a surprised face: "Brother Ying!"

The little second brother watched from the sidelines, and saw that Yingyi was really Sun Xiucai's acquaintance, so he said: "Those guest officers are pleased, and the little one will retire." ”

Sun Xiucai waved his hand to the little second brother, and welcomed Yingyi and Erniu in.

Closing the door, lighting up the light from the oil lamp, the three of them sat down around the round table.

"Erniu is also here. Sun Xiucai exhaled: "It seems that Brother Ying'er is half done." ”

Erniu said: "What's the matter?"

"During the day and afternoon, a team of thieves and horses passed by outside the city, and they showed off their might. Some people recognized the leader of the thief, which was the tiger. That's why I said that Brother Ying'er became half, and he must have rescued the villagers, but he couldn't kill a tiger and that animal. ”

Ying Yi listened to it and couldn't help but be impressed. A scholar is indeed a reader, maybe he has no discipline, he may be greedy for life and afraid of death, but a scholar with a reputation for his reputation is also a little smart.

He nodded: "I didn't kill a tiger." ”

Erniu also understood, and immediately explained the situation that night, although it was reversed, it also made Sun Xiucai understand.

Sun Xiucai sighed: "Brother Ying is pitying the lives of the villagers, otherwise a tiger will die." ”

was a little low: "It's just a pity that the sister-in-law of the Zhang family... Hey, the way of the world..."

Ying Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly, and later lifted his spirits and said, "I must kill a tiger." Sun Xiucai, have you heard any news in Yexian County these days? Now that you have missed the best opportunity to kill a tiger, he has already gone to Kaifeng, and he will meet with the thieves in the near future, hundreds of thousands of thieves, it is difficult to find him. I thought about your earlier proposal, and I'm afraid that I really have to borrow the hands of officers and soldiers. ”

Sun Xiucai suddenly rejoiced: "That's right." Brother Ying'er, although you are powerful, you are single-handedly and alone, how can you compare with the army to suppress the border? In the past few days, I have visited a few classmates in the county town and got some news. ”

Ying Yi hurriedly cheered up and listened attentively.

Sun Xiucai said: "Wang Qiao, the governor of the three sides, was defeated in Xiangcheng in February and was killed by thieves. The imperial court restored Sun Baigu, ordered the capital governor to suppress the thieves and relieve the siege, and replaced Wang Qiaonian as the governor of the three sides. Resurrected Hou Sui, supervised the military affairs of the seven towns of Baoding, governed Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Wenyue and other troops and horses, and coordinated to relieve the siege of Kaifeng. ”

"Who is Sun Baigu?"

Hou Xianying vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the Lao Tzu of Hou Fangyu, one of the four sons. As for how to remember Hou Fangyu, it was because of Li Xiangjun. Qin Huai Bayan's fame will be much greater than that of Wenchen and military generals after a few hundred years. And Sun Baigu Yingyi didn't know. But he can act as the governor of the three sides, and this Sun Baigu must be a famous figure in history.

"Sun Baigu is Sun Chuanting, called Baigu. Sun Xiucai said: "It was the same family with me five hundred years ago." ”

"Sun Chuanting!" Ying Yi suddenly suddenly.

Among the famous ministers and generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Yingyi remembered the most, except for Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, that is, Sun Chuanting. This person is quite capable of fighting, but the current affairs are difficult, and in the end, he will inevitably die on the battlefield like Lu Xiangsheng.

It seems that in a certain battle to relieve the siege of Kaifeng, he won first and then lost, was implicated by friendly forces, and finally died.

"Sun Chuanting..."Ying Yi thought carefully.

The leading figures in the late Ming Dynasty, what Zuo Liangyu, what Hou Sui, are all bullshit. Although Sun Chuanting was inevitably defeated, he was able to fight after all. If you want to borrow strength, you can only borrow it from Sun Chuanting. In other places, let alone borrowing strength, God bless if you don't get killed.

"Where are Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses now?"

Ying Yi hurriedly asked.

"When Sun Baigu recovered, Wang Qiaonian was not dead. Now that he has taken Wang Qiaonian as the governor of the three sides, he should go to Guanzhong to gather troops. ”

"Guanzhong..."

Ying Yi pondered: "Henan is not far from Guanzhong, right?"

"Go west, pass Luoyang and Tongguanwei is the boundary of Guanzhong. Sun Xiucai said: "It's only a few hundred miles away." ”

"Oh..."Ying Yi thought a lot for a while.

Sun Chuanting has just recovered, and he is the governor of the three sides on behalf of Wang Qiaonian, and it will take several months to gather troops in Guanzhong. But Yingyi couldn't wait in her heart. Every time I think of the tragic situation of Brother Zhang's family of three, the fire in Yingyi's heart burns extremely hard, and I always want to catch a tiger immediately and cut him with a thousand knives.

But now a tiger enters Kaifeng, and the thief converges, with the strength of Yingyi, not to mention the rest, just to find a tiger, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Although Ying Yi attacked and killed a tiger, he went through another increase in physique and increased his physique, but he still did not have absolute confidence.

Sun Xiucai saw it clearly, thought about it, and said: "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have either not had time to gather, or they are licking their wounds after the defeat, Brother Ying'er wants to kill a tiger, I'm afraid I will have to wait." ”

He then talked about the events that happened in the previous months, such as how Wang Qiaonian was defeated, such as Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue had collapsed to Xiangyang to recuperate, Hou Sui was still in Hebei, and so on.

Hearing this, Ying Yi laughed angrily.

It was originally from last year, when thieves ravaged Henan, and the imperial court had already dispatched troops. The Huguang soldiers, the Baoding soldiers, and the Shaanxi soldiers besieged from the south, north, and west. Huguang soldiers supervised the division with Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue in Baoding, and Wang Qiaonian in Shaanxi. Surrounded on three sides, the Huguang soldiers led by Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue's Baoding soldiers were besieged by thieves in Xiangcheng, Wang Qiaonian hurriedly raised troops to rescue, but he didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to be a white-eyed wolf, Wang Qiaonian saved him, he ran away, shaking the heart of the army, making Wang Qiaonian defeated and killed, and he himself escaped.

When he fled, this time the encirclement strategy failed.

And Zuo Liangyu, with tens of thousands of horses in his hands, broke the strategy and killed a trilateral governor, but he was not punished.

After that, Chongzhen enabled Hou Sui, and it was precisely because Hou Sui and Zuo Liangyu had an old relationship.

It can be seen how corrupt this Ming has become.

Ying Yi listened to Sun Xiucai's sigh and sighed, and there was a faint sadness in her speechlessness.

"So, if you want to kill a tiger, you can only wait?"

Yingyi is still a little unwilling.

"Only waiting. Sun Xiucai said: "The gentleman hides the weapon in his body and moves when the time comes." Brother Ying, I know you are very powerful, but you can't be reckless. ”

Erniu also nodded hurriedly.

Ying Yi thought about it, so she had to sigh and say, "Okay." ”

Then he said: "Xiucai, I will place the rescued villagers in Fangcheng Mountain." Tomorrow I will go to Guanzhong to see if I can meet Sun Chuanting and Inspector Sun. You go back with Erniu and take care of the villagers. You are a reader, and you know more than they do. There is water and land in the valley, and you preside over the reclamation of wasteland, and you can grow food if you can, and you can't wait for death. ”

When Sun Xiucai heard this, he first nodded, and then said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to see Sun Chuanting." ”

Ying Yi is white, and Sun Chuanting is the governor of the three sides, where is it said that you can see it.

Ying Yi nodded: "I have my own way." ”
