At dusk on the third day of March in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, at Shajianzi Camp, the low hillside was filled with the noisy neighing of men and horses. Soldiers in red mandarin duck jackets were pushing and shoving, shouting at each other with different accents, and shouting at each other. Under the scolding of the camp management team, they were driven like sheep to an open space near the hillside.
A 17-foot-tall General Military Order flag was fluttering fiercely on the hillside. Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army and Liaodong General Military Officer, sat under the General Military Order flag, squinting at the mess of sergeants underneath, spitting thick phlegm, and cursing. : "It's so laborious to form a queue. Old Wanli gave me the young master of the Beijing soldiers, and those bastards in Liao Town sent some crooked melons and cracked dates, which belong to his grandma!"
Next to him stood his adopted son Liu Tianxing, Liu Zhaosun, Pei Dahu and several other close servants. Seeing his adoptive father getting angry, Liu Tianxing echoed: "They all want to plot against us, but we are not the ones to blame! Our adoptive father not only wants to kill Kang Yingqian, but also the supervisor behind him." You can’t stay either, so what’s that thief’s last name?”
"Qiao Yiqi."
After all, Qi Meng and Qiao Yiqi had been friends for several lifetimes, so how could he refuse to save him in the face of death? He rushed forward and said:
"Father, Qiao Yiqi has a reputation as a chivalrous man, an honest man, and a good official. We cannot kill him."
Liu Tianxing said angrily: "A good official? The world is as black as crows, and no official is good!"
"Father!" Liu Tianxing raised his head and looked at Liu Wei, "Qiao Yiqi brought many Korean soldiers to Liaodong. If we can recruit Korean soldiers under his command and follow him to fight against Shenyang, great things will happen!"
Liu Wei waved his hand: "I can't wait any longer. Xiang Lanqi is chasing me so hard that there is no time to delay. Let that Supervisor Qiao wish for his own happiness!"
Suddenly, a sentry horse reported that three thousand Zhejiang soldiers had arrived at the gate of the camp, and the two leading sentry officers were preparing to pay a visit to General Liu.
"Deng Qilong? Yuan Jianlong? Let them bring some Zhejiang soldiers and generals to come see me!"
When he heard his subordinates coming, Kang Yingqian, who was tied up with five flowers, shouted loudly:
"Liu Wei, you can't kill me!"
"Liu Dadao, if you rebel, your family, relatives and friends in Nanchang will all be beheaded."
"Hahahaha! Kill! Kill! It's best to kill them all!" Liu Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, "I have nothing to do with them, and I won't feel any heartache even if I die!"
Kang Yingqian was speechless.

"Commanders of the Zhejiang Army! I am Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. Three days ago, Liaodong Economic Strategy Yang Hao cut off our food and grass. We are running out of food and grass. Let us solve it on our own... To be honest, Juniper Du The commander-in-chief and his troops have been destroyed! Li Rubai has escaped! Marin is also missing! We are the only ones left!"
"What? What happened to Mr. Du!"
"What's wrong with Mr. Du!"
The pikemen with accents from Jiangsu and Zhejiang suddenly felt as if they were going crazy, shouting loudly. They came all the way to Liaodong. They had to eat and sleep in the open air along the way, without enough food and sleep. They finally made it to Liaodong, but they didn't expect to be isolated and helpless as soon as they arrived. situation.
"Why doesn't the imperial court distribute food?"
"Niang Xipi must be greedy! Kang Yinggan is here!"
"Kang Yinggan escaped alone!"
Liu Wei waved his hand to the Zhejiang soldiers to calm down and said in a hoarse voice:
"Everyone, I heard in the capital that if you win this battle by chance, the court will not give you any reward, and the emperor will squander all the money in the inner treasury... If you lose, your heads will not be saved. If you survive, you will have to shave your head. Go and dress the slaves!"
"Everyone, do you remember the Jizhou mutiny more than 20 years ago?"
There was a deathly silence all around.
Liu Wei's beard trembled: "The imperial court is so harsh, Yang Jinglue avenges his personal revenge! That's it! I, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, am no longer in office. Why don't I disband my troops and return home, and stay at home?"
Liu Tianxing was the first to shout: "Kill Yang Hao and ask the court for an explanation!"
"Kill Yang Hao!"
The Zhejiang soldiers raised their arms and shouted, the matter was at this point, and they had no way out.
"Kang Yingqian is here, kill this guy first!"
Liu Tianxing held the waist knife, gestured at Kang Yingqian's neck, and slashed it with the knife.
There was a clang sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the waist knife was bounced out. Liu Zhaosun held the knife in one hand to protect Kang Yingqian.
"Little Thirteen, you, are you going to rebel?"
Just when Liu Tianxing was about to summon his servants to besiege Qi Meng, a man who stayed up all night came to the Chinese army's tent:
"Xianlan Banner is only five miles away from here!"
The surrounding area suddenly became a mess, and there was a lot of discussion. Finally, everyone turned their attention to Mr. Liu.
Liu Wei waved Liu Tianxing away and said with tears: "Those who are willing to make trouble with me can retreat now, and those who are not willing can stay here..."
The eight thousand Jiannu were not far away. At this moment, staying here was undoubtedly courting death.
At that moment, 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers scattered and more than 1,000 people dispersed. Company commanders Deng Qilong and Yuan Jianlong refused to join the rebels. Liu Wei resisted and did not kill them.
The Xianglan Banner army is pressing down on the border, and the Eastern Route Army has split into two factions.
Liu Wei burst into tears, "The army is setting off, and I'm worried that the slaves will follow. How difficult it is!"
At this time, Liu Zhaosun's voice came from behind.
"Father! I am willing to lead a thousand horsemen to attack the Jiannu camp at night! All I want is to save the lives of Kang Supervisor Army!"
Liu Wei smiled and nodded, fearing that Liu Zhaosun would not go and die.
Liu Tianxing smiled broadly and patted Qi Meng on the shoulder: "Xiao Shisan, are you serious about this? Do you know that there is no such thing as joking in the army?"
"of course it's true!"
Liu Wei looked embarrassed: "Little Thirteen, we don't have a thousand cavalry. I'll give you at most three hundred. As for Kang's life... let him stay with you before he dies." Night attack, please take advantage of it!"
Qi Meng said happily: "Three hundred is three hundred. Can you allow me to choose some soldiers by myself..."
"Okay! I will promote you to President Qian first. After this battle, there will be a reward from the court, Xiao Shisan,"
Liu Wei shed tears and said goodbye to her adopted son: "You can't die."
Qi Meng barely squeezed out a tear:
"Father, I will definitely live longer than you."
After a performance of fatherly kindness and filial piety, Qi Meng immediately went to each camp and named six people: Shen Lian, Zhang Dong, Zhang Chao, Deng Changxiong, and Wang Erhu.
Except for Shen Lian, the others are confidants.
In Liu Wei's view, keeping these people would be a disaster, so it would be better to leave them all to Liu Zhaosun and let them fend for themselves together.
~~~
The most direct and effective way to prevent the establishment of Daqi is to kill Liu Zhaosun.
In other words, Qi Meng, who possesses Liu Zhaosun, has become a public enemy in the eastern world, and has become the target of every player.
Of course, directly killing this warrior is too risky and violates the rules of the game. According to the rules of the Eastern World, attacking other players will be directly eliminated. It was this kind of rat-throwing weapon that allowed Qi Meng to last until the end in the Eastern World.
Liu Wei's move was to kill someone with a borrowed sword, and get rid of Liu Zhaosun with his hand decorated with a blue flag.
Qi Meng probably also guessed Liu Wei's conspiracy. In addition to grief and anger, he loudly said:
"From then on, Liu Zhaosun died. There is no Liu Zhaosun in this world. I have nothing to do with Liu Wei. I remember that before I joined Liu Wei, my original surname was Qi. Now I have changed it back to my real name. From now on, I will be Qi Meng. Qi Meng it is me!"
"Mr. Qi Qian, what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Qi Meng raised his head and looked at the eastern sky. The sun was about to fall below the horizon, and the sky was filled with blood red.
For his own selfish reasons, Liu Wei ignored the lives of millions of people in Liaodong and sat back and watched the blood flow. When the game was over, he patted his butt and left.
But to Qi Meng, these people are not numbers, but living lives.
"The purpose of the existence of the Eastern World is to safeguard the welfare of all mankind, prevent the establishment of Qi State and save the common people. I think there is no contradiction between the two."
Qi Meng murmured to himself and looked around:
"Liu Wei has been kind to me in raising me up. Now that he has started a rebellion, millions of Liao people will be destroyed. I can't just sit back and watch. You are willing to follow me and fight a bloody road!"
"
"We are all willing to follow President Qi Qian!"
Qi Meng said angrily:
"Since you have chosen me as the leader, you should listen to my call! There will be nothing but death here! The entire army will withdraw to southern Liaoning and return to the pass! However, before that,"
Everyone raised their heads:
"Building slaves invaded Liaodong and massacred our Han people. Our soldiers should work hard to kill the enemy! What's the point of withdrawing from Liaodong without missing a single bow or firing a single soldier?"
】
"Today's night attack will embolden the army and avenge the Liao people! Anyone who dares to kill the enemy with a certain person, please step forward!"
Shen Lian, Zhang Chao and others stepped forward one after another. Zhang Dong led five or six servants, and dozens of soldiers stepped forward in an instant.
"Li Yongfang is good at using time, and likes to use Jian slaves to pretend to be Ming soldiers. Today I will do the opposite and let this wrapper taste the pain!"
Kang Yingqian turned around and was about to leave. Qi Meng winked at Zhang Dong, and Zhang Mazi stepped forward and stopped him with his sword.
"Mr. Qi Qian is worrying too much, I just have an urgent need to urinate..."
Qi Meng turned over and dismounted, hugged Kang Yingqian with all his strength, and said kindly: "Kang Jianjun is the backbone of the entire army, and Kang Jianjun cannot be left out..."
Kang Yingqian's face turned red and white. Judging from his status as a fourth-grade military commander, he naturally did not like Qi Meng, a low-ranking general. On ordinary days, killing such Qiu Ba was nothing to him. Crush a bug to death, but after all, this person has just saved his life, and the more than a thousand people in front of him are all following Qi Meng, but if he just cares about the difference between civil and military officials and puts on the stinky airs of a civil official, he really thinks that his life will be long. .
Seeing Kang Yingqian's dejected look, Qi Meng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Old Kang, Old Kang, this is our fate cultivated in the previous life, how can we just break up?"
Qi Meng gently stroked the horse's mane, calmed the restless war horse, and began to assign tasks to everyone:
"Zhang Mazi, Shen Lian, and Zhang Chao, the three of you and I will dress up as white armor with the blue flag, enter the big tent with the blue flag, and kill Amin."
"Deng Changxiong and Wang Erhu, you two each lead 20 cavalry and attack Jiannu from the north gate. Remember, don't be reluctant to fight!"
"General Yuan, Pu Gang, you two each lead twenty cavalry and attack Jiannu from the south gate!"
Everyone agreed with a bang.
"The entire army is resting and recuperating. We will set off at Xu o'clock tonight and arrive at the Xianglan Banner Camp at three o'clock at You. Wait for my order!"
