"Attack Xi'an Fucheng? Gao Ruyue, are you too courageous? Don't forget that there are many soldiers in the Bashang camp near Xi'an Fucheng. Judging from the above... it is better to be careful. Come on, at worst, we’ll go back to Baiyu Mountain and Luocao!”
The speaker was Wang Er, the "Baishui First Rebel". Although he was the first good man to raise the flag of righteousness, among the current rebels, he only ranked third, leaving Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang to take the lead, and there were also Luo Rucai, who was ranked fourth, bit tightly.
The main reason why this happened was that Wang Er was a real poor and lower-middle peasant. He was angry because he had no food and was bullied. They were very energetic when they made trouble, and even led people to kill the Baishui County Magistrate. But after the quarrel, I didn't have any idea. At most, I just thought about going up the mountain and falling grass.
So he was very satisfied with the days when Baiyu Mountain fell into the grass... Baiyu Mountain was remote, with inconvenient transportation, and the surrounding area had been suffering from drought for many years, making it difficult to supply the army. Therefore, the Ming army in Shaanxi had no intention of going there to encircle and suppress them, and just let the rebels fend for themselves there.
As for Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, and Luo Rucai, they were either heroes or deserters who turned into soldiers. They had broad vision, strong military capabilities, wild hearts, and quick minds.
Of course, what they want is not to fend for themselves in the mountains, but to do great things... It doesn't necessarily have to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but they must always make a breakthrough. If you can't break out, you can just try to recruit someone. If recruiting security doesn't work, the worst possible outcome is that you will lose your property and fly away...
Even if you want to turn yourself into a bandit, you can't do it in the Baiyu Mountains in northern Shaanxi. It's too poor there! Now that there have been droughts for several years, there is almost no food to eat. It is better to be a thief than to live happily in the world!
"Wang Er, you have to go back to Baiyu Mountain by yourself. Well, Cao Cao won't go back. The world is huge and there are so many happy places. Even if you want to fall grass, you have to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters!"
Luo Rucai is cunning and scheming, and he is an old man in the world. Of course he has a very active mind. How could he be willing to suffer in the Baiyu Mountains all his life? Just seeing that he did not show his true name to others, but took the name of Cao Cao, you can tell what he was thinking - now there are not many people in the world who know that "Cao Cao" is Luo Rucai, except for himself, that is, Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Liu Chao, the eunuch of the East Factory, Li Zicheng, the deputy general of the young army in front of the tent, Niu Jinxing, the chief of the right division of the infantry in front of the tent, Bi Ziyan, the governor of Shaanxi... Oh, and there is also Shaanxi patrol general He Renlong who just arrived in Luochuan County with his troops.
That's why Luo Rucai is still very confident. He has now made a lot of money and has exchanged it for gold to carry with him. If the attack on Xi'an succeeds this time, he will issue another vote. If he fails, he will go to Qinling Luocao to seek help. If he fails, he will abandon Cao Cao's gangster account and return to his hometown of Yan'an to enjoy his fortune... No one knows about it anyway. "Cao Cao" is Luo Rucai!
"But there are soldiers in front of the tent in Xi'an!" Wang Er was still a little frightened. He had participated in the Battle of Fugu and was already frightened.
"They're just kids," Gao Yingxiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "And there aren't many of them, so what's there to be afraid of?"
It turned out that Gao Yingxiang and others did not know that the right division of the Zhangqian Infantry Army had been staying in Shaanxi, and they did not know the number of Zhangqian Youth Army.
This is because the right division of the Zhangqian Infantry Army and the Zhangqian Youth Army are both troops "locked up in the camp". They train and study every day (children have to learn to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism!), and are basically not let out to play.
Moreover, the main force of the right division of the Zhangqian Infantry Army is in Tongguan Acropolis. Now that Tongguan Acropolis has been captured by the Front Right Division of the Zhangqian Infantry Army, all the military households who originally lived there have been moved (to Luoyang). The families of the soldiers in the right division of the Zhangqian Infantry Army were in Luoyang, so during their vacations, the soldiers in the Zhangqian Right Division always went to Luoyang instead of Xi'an.
Of course Gao Yingxiang, Wang Ziyong and their men couldn't figure out their details. The subordinates of Gao Yingxiang, Wang Ziyong and others are still very familiar with the style of the Shaanxi Ming Army... This kind of "big army" that is usually invisible and only appears when the Shangguan inspects it, they are more visible!
Therefore, these rebel leaders took it for granted that there were not many Zhangqian troops stationed in Shaanxi!
Wang Er saw that everyone wanted to attack Xi'an, so he couldn't sing the opposite, but he didn't want to take the risk, so he asked: "But the government only needs to be strong and brave, not the old and the weak. There are 100,000 people here, mostly the old and the weak. Have they all been abandoned?”
In the past few days, hungry people from northern Shaanxi have continued to gather in Luochuan. Because He Renlong's army closed the road after arriving, they were unable to go south for a while, so they merged with Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang's group. Their number had already Over 100,000!
"Of course we can't abandon them all," Wang Ziyong shook his head and frowned again, "We can't enter Xi'an with all our strength and courage. If we really have to pull out tens of thousands of strong people, the government will definitely deal with it carefully, and we We can’t control that many people... How many people do we have at hand? Even 3,000 brave men may not be able to gather them together, right?"
In fact, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other "refugee commanders" have very limited control over the refugees. Even the strong men among the refugees are mostly outside their control.
The basic base of these people is the more than a thousand "old thieves" who came down from Baiyu Mountain - the number of rebels on Baiyu Mountain was tens of thousands at its peak, but later they dispersed because they had no future and no food. . When Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and others "came out in a big way", there were only a few thousand people left. After excluding the old and weak family members, there were only 1,500 Jianyong who could fight, and 500 were left to look after their "home", and they followed them to Luochuan There are only more than 1,000 people.
Based on these more than 1,000 people, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and others controlled more than 2,000 "new thieves" who did not know the details, totaling only about 3,000 young men. But those who can have a weapon to defend themselves are only those 1,000 old soldiers. The only remaining weapons are sticks. They are simply a gang of beggars. Relying on these people to attack Xi'an... I have to say that Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang are very brave!
"People can always get it together..." Luo Rucai said with a smile, "As long as you tell the people below that you are going to Xi'an Mansion to serve as soldiers and eat food, not to mention 3,000, even 10,000 people can be pulled away!"
"But what about General He?" Gao Yingxiang frowned, "His people are holding the intersection going south!"
Luo Rucai smiled and said: "This is easy to handle... We prepared a generous gift and said that we were going to Xi'an to join the army and become a knight. How could General He Shen stop us? We were going to replace Long Live Lord A soldier, how dare he stop you?"
Wang Er shook his head and said: "Cao Cao, don't forget that we have all rebelled!"
Luo Rucai smiled and said: "So what? The government only knows about Monk Wang, Gao Ruyue, Cao Cao and you, Wang Er..."
When Wang Er heard this, his face turned ashen. He is just an honest farmer, while others use gangster names to get around. But he honestly reported Baishui Wang Er’s real name and even his place of birth! The government must have found out his details clearly, and he will never be able to live a happy life again in this life.
Luo Rucai glanced at Wang Er and smiled: "Brother Wang, why don't you stay here with 500 people and take control of the brigade. Let me go to Xi'an and if you succeed, I will give you a share of the wealth. "
Wang Ziyong didn't wait for Wang Er to speak, and nodded repeatedly: "Cao Cao's method is better, so be it!"
Gao Yingxiang also smiled and said: "This is the best... Second brother, you have reported your real name, but you still have to be careful. If the news is wrong, you should run to Bai Yushan! As long as you escape with your life, Don’t be afraid that there will be no future!”
Wang Er sighed: "That's it!"
Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, and Luo Rucai all sighed after hearing Wang Er's words... If Wang Er is willing to stay, they don't have to worry about He Renlong's 2,000 elite soldiers!
White Water King II!
If He Renlong hears this name, he will definitely send troops to search for him. How can it be so easy to arrest someone among 100,000 people? By the time He Renlong caught Wang Er, his brothers had already robbed the money in Xi'an Mansion and ran away.
