Li Zicheng was yelling at the sky and cursing the ground outside Baoding City. Chang Yu, who was sleeping soundly in the camping camp hundreds of miles away, sneezed several times and woke up. He asked his bodyguard that the time to tell his son had just passed.
The time was just right, Chang Yu immediately got up and gave the order to break camp.
Under the starry sky, the Second Battalion marched away. After receiving the report, Liu Zeqing went out of the account to see him off. Until the fire disappeared, he said in a nonchalant manner: "That little gelding is a cruel person!"
According to reports from scouts, both Huang Degong and Gao Jie were stationed on the banks of the Qingliang River in West Baili, Texas, southwest of Liu Zeqing's camp.
Qingliang River is the boundary river between Jinan Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture in the north, with Dezhou in the east and Zaoqiang County under the jurisdiction of Jizhou in the west. A river separates the two worlds. Zhending Prefecture in Jiangxi is an enemy-occupied area, and Jinan Prefecture in the east is owned by the imperial court. In the controlled area, there are two groups of officers and soldiers stationed by the river, more than ten miles apart in the south and north, with Huang Degong's tribe in the north and Gao Jie's tribe in the south.
Chang Yu led his troops to go westward at night, and encountered many villages, but most of them were only ten houses and nine empty. After walking for more than an hour, they were informed that they had reached the bank of Qingliang River several miles away.
No military camp was found within a few miles. Chang Yu ordered to go south along the river, but found that there were more villages along the river, and there were actually many villagers. After asking, he found out that they had escaped from the other side and rested here.
After traveling more than ten miles, the scouts from the front came to report. Huang Degong's troops were found thirty miles away. Chang Yu was overjoyed and ordered an urgent move!
"What bullshit does the East Factory and the West Factory disturb my dream?" Huang Degong, who was woken up in his sleep, almost overturned the entire military camp with his voice. The patrol sentry outside the camp and Chang Yu's scouts caught up and immediately entered the camp to report, which immediately made him furious. !
But then he was startled again, could he be the young eunuch who was supervising the army to suppress bandits in Taiyuan? Huang Degong had heard of Chang Yu's deeds. Although he was rude, he had a loyal and patriotic heart and was always concerned about state affairs. The Taiyuan battle was one of the few great victories the imperial court had achieved in recent years. The imperial court informed the world that Chang Yu became famous in one battle. Huang Degong was so concerned about this.
When the sky was getting light, Chang Yu led his troops to two miles outside Huang Degong's camp. He saw a group of people approaching the horse. One of them was more than forty years old. He had a strong back and a strong waist. He couldn't help but secretly praise him. What a man. Although he didn't report it in time, Then it was known that Huang Degong was successful.
However, Huang Degong was filled with admiration in his heart. The young eunuch Nian Shaoying could see that he was not that sinister person at first glance, and the men and horses behind him, the heavy armored cavalry were full of murderous intent. These were soldiers capable of fighting, and he immediately believed those rumors. , the lone army went out of the city to fight fiercely with the bandits, and went deep behind enemy lines to assassinate the bandit leader...
This is the so-called hero cherishing the hero. When the two met at first sight, they felt like they had met too late. For Chang Yu, it was even more so. The only generals he could like at this point in the late Ming Dynasty were Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong. .
"I've heard for a long time that Huang Hushan is a brave general who can defeat thousands of enemies. Today I saw that he is indeed very powerful." Chang Yu cupped his hands and gave a heavy bow. He was very fond of Huang Degong. He was born as a soldier with no backing or background, and he was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief for his outstanding achievements in killing enemies. He followed Xiong Wencan, the former Secretary of the Ministry of War, to fight in all directions. He always took the lead and killed countless enemies, making great military achievements and unparalleled achievements. Although he was illiterate and rude, he was loyal and brave.
Dare to kill, dare to fight and yet loyal, these are the generals that the Ming Dynasty needs most at this time!
Huang Degong's loyalty comes from his nature. Although he is usually rude and even arrogant, he will be completely different when it comes to national affairs. As long as it involves national affairs, he will obey you no matter what you ask him to do. Therefore, for the purpose of retreating the enemy in Taiyuan He was very fond of the little eunuch.
"Unexpectedly, Huang Chuangzi's bad reputation has spread to the palace. Hey, little eunuch... ah no, no, what kind of factory is that... oh, Mr. Factory Supervisor, I heard that Li Zicheng, who you killed in Taiyuan, was really pissed. Yes, if it is true, I, Huang Chuangzi, will treat you to a drink." Huang Degong laughed!
Chang Yu couldn't help but smile. The rumors were true. Huang Degong Haojiu drank several cups of wine every time before going into battle to kill the enemy. He was so drunk that he charged into battle and fought bravely to kill the enemy as if his life was at risk. People in the army gave him the nickname Huang Chuangzi. She glanced at his waist and saw an iron whip on his shoulder. It was said that he liked to use it to kill his enemies. Every time after a battle, he had to soak for a long time to clean the blood from the iron whip. He was really a murderer. I like it!
The two had similar temperaments and met each other late. Huang Degong welcomed Chang Yu into the camp. Walking side by side, he saw that this young man was not as feminine and pretentious as the eunuchs he had seen in the past. He spoke and behaved boldly and cheerfully. When he dismounted, he saw that he was strong and strong in heart. Even more happy next time.
It was already daylight, and Chang Yu's troops were exhausted after traveling late at night. Huang Degong personally accompanied Haosheng to entertain him, and brought him directly to the camp for resettlement. He was not guarded at all. It can be seen that his heart was upright and not like Liu Zeqing's guilty conscience.
It was rare for Huang Degong to meet such a pleasing eunuch. He asked someone to prepare food, but actually bought some wine and wanted to have a drink with Chang Yu and talk about Taiyuan's great defeat of Li Zicheng.
Chang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I drank so early in the morning that you thought I was an alcoholic! He declined repeatedly, saying that the military situation was urgent and top priority. Huang Degong gave up and asked people to send some gruel as a treat. He also saw that Chang Yu's subordinates were all first-class burly men. The murderous look on their bodies showed that they had been on the battlefield for a long time. It was even more frightening to wade out of the sea of blood. There are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and he secretly sighed that this little eunuch is definitely a ruthless person.
Chang Yu saw that the breakfast served to him was nothing more than porridge and steamed buns, which was a world of difference compared to Liu Ze's banquet of wine and meat. He also thought that there were people in the village a few miles away from the camp when he came, and he thought that Huang Degong's military discipline was really strict, and his life was good. Even though it was so hard, I didn’t go to looting.
"Factory Supervisor, don't dislike it. This is already the best ration in the army." Huang Degong observed Chang Yu's words and thought that Chang Yu disliked it, so he said directly: "I have been running out of food and grass all the way from Yongcheng, Henan. What I have now is good. !”
"Is this the reason why you stopped moving forward?" Chang Yu smiled slightly and changed the topic to business.
Huang Degong was startled and stared at Chang Yu: "Is the factory supervisor here to ask questions?"
"I'm here to mobilize troops, but I'm curious why you didn't come forward. Let me tell you." Chang Yu said with a calm expression.
Huang Degong breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly: "The last general led his troops northward from Yongcheng, Henan. Everything he passed was occupied by bandits. He was worried about the danger of the capital and had to march through Shandong. However, he marched to Jizhou, Yanzhou Prefecture (today's Jining City) Food and grass were already insufficient, so he had no choice but to send people to Yanzhou to borrow some food and grass from King Lu. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yihai refused and said that the family had no food. Isn't this nonsense? Although King Lu's palace suffered a disaster two years ago... he was so thin that he died of weight. The camel is bigger than the horse, so what if I borrow a little bit from it? We risk our lives to kill the enemy just to protect the Zhu family dynasty..."
Seeing that he was going off topic while talking, Chang Yu interrupted him: "The people of the Lu family are born with such bad virtues. Two years ago, when the Qing army entered the Pass and plundered Shandong to attack Yanzhou, Zhu Yipai cherished his wealth as much as his life and did not donate anything. A penny of food and money helped the army to defend the city and eventually the city was destroyed and people were killed. It is a pity that Zhu Yihai pretended to be dead and hid among the dead to escape the disaster, but he still doesn't have a long memory now... But he just attacked the king at the beginning of the year, maybe he really didn't Financial support, please go on."
"Even in a humble position, I consider that I really don't have much wealth, otherwise I will imitate Gao Jie and grab it directly..." After saying that, he glanced at Chang Yu and saw that he raised his brows as if there was a hint of murderous intention, so he hurriedly said: "There is nothing wrong with my humble position. I can't tighten my rations and think of borrowing money from Liu Zeqing when I go to Jinan."
Chang Yu curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid I haven't found anything yet."
"No," Huang Degongqi punched his fist: "When I arrived in Jinan, Liu Laizi had just sent out troops and asked him to borrow some food and grass. This guy refused, saying that he had no food left... I was so fucking pissed off."
