Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

The scouts of the Shenjia battalion are called Wang Pu to take to King Qin, at this time there are only infantry left in Shanxi, and most of

them are new recruits who have just completed the training, and there is no cavalry to use, and it is naturally very disadvantageous, and the thief army's probe horse is almost a good pestle at the end of the military column, if there are uninformed passers-by who see this scene, there is a misunderstanding, most of them will think that the thief's probe horse and the Shenjia battalion in front of it are all the way to the military horse.

From this point of view, the rampant thief army is not Wang Yan's incompetence, which really fulfills the old saying, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

By the third day, when the Shenjia battalion arrived in Pinglu County, the thief army besieging the county seat had long since disappeared, leaving only a mess. According to the county magistrate Chen Shiliang, the thieves plundered many squires and forts, and a large number of people fled into the mountains, and this year's tax collection is only far less than in previous years. Next, the Shenjia battalion had to be dispersed, thirty people in a group, patrolling the countryside in various places to appease people's hearts, these arrangements are quite large, naturally they must not be faked, and they are all touched through by Wang Lu's meticulous work one by one.

Without worries, although Xing Hongniang was faintly restless, she really couldn't think of anything wrong, so she thought that she was suspicious and too worried. So determined to do it, she ordered to set up an ambush in Yushui Nunnery, first broke Gong Wenda's follow-up men, this time to the south to receive the military food escort, Gong Wenda brought 500 infantry and 30 cavalry. Due to an accident, he had no choice but to lead 30 cavalry first, and was left behind by 500 infantry to slowly swallow up, and only arrived near Qinglin Fort three days later, but the result was a bad ambush and was instantly annihilated.

Gong Wenda had cavalry to scout, and soon learned the bad news, so frightened that he ordered to gallop south, but the carriage full of goods was not fast enough, and the thieves chased after him, shouting and killing the sky. Gong Wenda did not dare to stay and fight, so he abandoned the carriage and the escort coachman, and fled with only thirty cavalry. Seeing that the thieves were killed, the coachmen were so frightened that they hid in the car and did not dare to come out.

The

thieves rushed up, surrounded the carriage and were amazed, Xing Hongniang and other leaders happily pushed aside the crowd, looked at these carriages, it was difficult to hide their surprise, before everyone saw these four-wheeled carriages from a distance, in the Ming Kingdom, there are few four-wheeled carriages on the market, but because of the inconvenience of steering, so people prefer to turn to convenient two-wheeled carriages, at that time when they first saw these carriages did not think so, they approached the view and marveled at their ingenuity, the original two front wheels hidden fine organs.

"The big brothers inside, don't hide, we don't kill innocents, come out, everyone is poor, let's only kill corrupt officials, cool officials, not poor people." Xing Hongniang thought that there was food in these carriages, don't scare the coachman hiding in it, it won't be disgusting, and it won't be delicious in the future.

However, many soldiers gathered, the scene was inevitably noisy, it was difficult to make a finger like an arm, and the impatient soldiers in the chaos twisted their fists, knocked on the outer wall of the carriage, and made a bang, Xing Hongniang heard the sound, her heart chuckled, her body froze immediately, and then her face turned pale for a moment, and her body was slightly trembling, and she finally woke up at this moment.

The carriage full of grain could not emit a crisp and loud thumping sound, and thinking of this, she involuntarily took a step back, and then immediately made a decision, turned and walked quickly.

After a short walk, I heard a scream, and some thieves jumped into the

car, but the door could not be opened, and it was estimated that it was bolted from the inside, so I used the head of the gun to pry the roof, and the roof had to be opened, and a bayonet was stabbed out of the van, and it was pierced into the chest of the thief soldier.

Xing Hongniang didn't dare to turn back, just bent on fleeing, but in a moment, there were continuous explosions behind her, dense and almost indistinguishable, and the howls and screams of the wounded soldiers were earth-shattering, like ghosts, she knew in her heart that this fiasco was a foregone conclusion, and it was a blessing to be able to earn her life.

The thieves

fell into chaos, racing to run, trampling on each other, like thousands of frogs in a pot of boiling water, the fried flowers of those grenades were like bubbles billowing, waiting for the thieves to flee farther, the grenades finally couldn't reach, the officers and soldiers of the Shenjia Battalion in the car replaced the firecrackling guns, the crackling firecrackles seem to be a good tune, but it is a terrifying requiem, every syllable is a harvest.

At last, they couldn't even reach the firecrackers, and the thieves fled a hundred paces away, a journey longer than a lifetime, and countless comrades who had been born and died fell, writhing and howling on the ground behind them. Just as they were glad to have survived, they saw the officers and soldiers chasing after them in a carriage, the four-wheeled cart, which seemed to be bulky, but unexpectedly turned flexibly, and easily avoided trees and rocks, and a sense of despair filled the whole body, and most of them were paralyzed with fright, kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Since the battle of Xianghe, the defeated Ming army soared all the way for sixty miles, retreated to Caijiapu Village downstream, where the water system is vertical and horizontal, there is a muddy ground where water and grass grow to surround the whole village, only a sheep intestine path bends and bends to connect the inside and outside, like a natural walled city.

Cao Wenzhao and others took a fancy to this place, so they ordered to be stationed here, the village beware of the pool of water is jasper-colored, exquisitely clear, all the generals sighed when they saw it, this is a treasure of feng shui.

"Why don't we go in and wash our bodies, and wash away the bad luck of this body. Zuo Liangyu saw that Ma Shilong was stunned by the reflection on the water, so he suggested on the side.

"Okay, I'm unlucky, I'm unlucky. Cao Wenzhao didn't say a word, jumped down, and exclaimed: "Hey, it's not bad, the water is warm, you guys come down too, mother." "

Ma Shilong sighed mournfully, his face was full of sadness, but he was still half-pushed and half-dragged into the pool. The eunuch of the prison army also liked this water, stripped off his clothes and jumped down, and handed a look to a pawn on the shore, and allowed him to come down, when the arch bridge was blown up, the prison army and Cao Wenzhao and others were trapped on the other side of the river, it was this little pawn who helped him swim across the river, and afterwards, the eunuch was also very righteous, and regarded this pawn as a life-saving benefactor, and kept staying by his side to listen to it, and also rewarded a lot of property. The pawn shook his head again and again, how dare he be presumptuous on this occasion and go down to bathe in the same pool with the main generals.

Zuo Liangyu laughed, stepped forward and dragged the little pawn into the pool, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you save Gonggong Chen, you will save the lives of all of us, you don't have to be formal at this time, let's wash together." Zuo Liangyu's words reminded the generals present, and he did not show his gloom. The little pawn observed his words and looks, and saw that the generals were not angry, and saw that his eyes were quite kind, so he sat down next to him with the courage to soak.

"I said, how to report this to the palace, you have an idea. Gonggong Chen said impatiently.

"This battle is lost, but we, killed, gained, quite a lot. Zuo Liangyu said word by word.

"Brother Zuo, you are a favor, I have received it in my heart, if you still have this life, I will repay it next time. However, it is absolutely impossible to do it. Ma Shilong sighed, the emperor had high expectations for him, once he was defeated, the emperor would have no face, so how could he not be convicted and die.

"I heard that Wang Pu has a lot of Dongyu heads there, and he is trapped inside, if we can send someone to send him some medicines, grain and grass, in exchange for dozens of Dongyu heads, it should not be difficult. Zuo Liangyu's eyes were shining, and he came up with an idea.

"Hey, I think it's okay, Brother Zuo, you are still capable enough, just with your cleverness, even if you enter the palace, it is estimated that you can mix with the master. Chen Gonggong was surprised and said, he is a person in the palace, he knows the emperor's temperament, this advance, the emperor is to give high hopes, who expected the battle to be so broken, such as the fire camp is almost wiped out, this defeat if the palace knows, it is conceivable that the emperor will have such monstrous anger, the generals are still useful, not necessarily executed. He's a eunuch who is dead and dead, and he will burp.

"Brother is to see everyone's colleagues, this level can't be opened, everyone is not good, if you can break through, there is no other hole. Zuo Liangyu raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile.

"Damn, there's no other way, okay, Brother Zuo's idea is very sure of me. Beitang General Zhang Shujiafa said ruthlessly, he was really afraid of being beaten by the Dongyu, thinking that Ma Shilong and Cao Wenzhao were defeated by the Dongyu, and when this defeat happened, they were all imprisoned, leaving only one of them to fight the Dongyu, wouldn't it be to send them to death, and sooner or later it would also be the end of the defeat and the crime. If you conspire with everyone to commit the next big case at this time, the so-called law does not hold the public accountable, even if it is reported afterwards, the court may not dare to pursue it.

"However, Wang Pu, this guy, I only heard that he is very young, if he is a stunned young man who does not understand the world, it will be bad. Can any of you have dealings with him? Ma Shilong was already moved, but he still asked anxiously.

"I'll go and meet him for a while, and I'll just do what I can. Cao Wen Zhaoguo is a real person, and in the end he is a man of action, so he immediately made a decision.

"People are old, and their blood is not as strong as yours, although this spring water is good, it should not be soaked thoroughly, I will go back to the shore to bake the fire, you can do it yourself." Zhang Shujia smiled bitterly, then got up and left the pool, only to see him casually pacing to the other end of the pool, suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand, wiped it on the neck of the pawn in the pool, and the blood soaked in it, the pawn jumped up in pain, struggled a few steps into the depths of the pool, that is, he tripped over the aquatic weeds, and jumped up from the water, and turned around to see Zhang Shujia holding a murder weapon, with a cold smile on his face.

The pawn then woke up to the fact that he had been poisoned, and he was terrified and covered his neck tightly, and the blood hung down to the surface of the water and fainted, dissolving into the emerald pool water, and if there was a trace of color clinging to the jade under the bright sun, he grew his mouth in despair, and ventilated vigorously against the blood water, as if a whistle was stuffed in the trachea, making a terrifying strange sound "Xixi".

The prison army couldn't bear it, don't go too far, and muttered to himself: Brother, we hurt you.

Zuo Liangyu looked at this scene with a smile, and estimated with interest how long this pawn could pounce after being wiped with a knife.

Ma Shilong, Cao Wenzhao and others were bored and turned to leave. Wang Chengyin was the main general of this pawn, and motioned to his soldiers to take the waist knife and personally go up to end his life and save him from fragmentary pain.

At night, in a

manor in the southern suburbs of Jizhou, this is a summer garden of Liu Jiaxiu, the south is wide and the north is narrow in the shape of a water bag, except for the widest attic is high, it is dry land, the rest is a big pool of water, several Lingbo corridors, some water pavilions are dotted in the meantime, it is a delicate and beautiful scenery, but when the garden was repaired, it only cares about the summer heat, the water is too much, the humidity is heavy, it is inevitable that in the night, the gloomy atmosphere is curling, and the moonlight is very gloomy.

In the garden, a group of people were sighing and pushing the boat hidden in the haystack into the water. Gu Jindan covered his nose, his pretty face was full of bitterness, these straws had a smell of dung, it was estimated that they were taken from the crops and covered on the boat, with fertilizer, and fermented over time, the smell was very rushing. I thought I was very panicked at the time, so I didn't have time to think about it.

Perhaps for convenience, when the garden was built, a waterway was dug to lead from the narrowest part of the north end to the large river outside.

Fang Bo retracted the tether and propped the boat slowly off the shore, the faint light in the cabin only illuminated his gloomy face, which reflected the surroundings. It's no wonder that he, no one will be willing to give away his beloved woman to others. However, his status is humble, and after some tossing, he finally accepted his fate, and his infatuation since ancient times ended in sadness.

And he knows in his heart, Donglu and Wang Pu are blood feuds, the Liu family secretly sent Gu Jindan to Wang Pu, if Donglu knows, it will cause a catastrophe, he has seen and heard about this matter, if he refuses to take the errand and send Gu Jindan to go on this trip, how can the Liu family allow him to return to Jizhou City alive to accuse the Liu family of secretly betraying him.

"Miss Gu Jindan's complexion has improved a lot these days, she has a little smile, and she also said considerate words to me and Yan Yuese, that Wang Pu is a murderous military attaché, with a face full of flesh and a fierce face, and when Miss Gu sees him frightened, she will regret it when the time comes, if she is willing to go with me, I will desperately protect her to escape. Fang Bo secretly thought in his heart, and with more strength in his hand, the boat shook, and the black water rattled, faintly glowing with white flowers.

This boat is really a painted boat, it is not easy to control, Fang Bokong has brute strength, and he does not know how to rock the oar, so he has to add chaos to shaking it indiscriminately. Fortunately, there was another skilled oarman on the boat, and I saw that his feet were stuck on the board like nails, his lower body was steady, and his upper body swayed with the boat, which had reached the realm of the unity of man and ship. He couldn't help frowning and glanced at the Fang Bo beside him, and his heart was coiled around the instructions of the head of the family before leaving, if this person suddenly jumped into the water and escaped, he must chase him down and drown him, not let him live. If this person is holding Miss Gu hostage, he doesn't have to worry about Miss Gu's life and kills her.

In the camp of Dongyu, Huang Taiji's face was calm, his eyes were slightly closed, and he held a letter tightly in his hand, which was a secret report that had just been sent from the Xianghe River in the south. In the letter, Sakhalian only explained a few words, but every word was shocking: the epidemic in the army is suspected to be smallpox.

Huang Taiji's heart

ached faintly, and others didn't care, it was actually Sakhalian, this kid had been closest to him since he was a child, and his temperament was also calm and quite self-like, the child's babbling attitude was still as clear as yesterday, thinking of losing this child, Huang Taiji's heart was almost bursting out of his chest, but he couldn't cry, he was the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, every word and deed, every move was related to the national fortune.

"It's that Wang Pu, it's all because of him. If it weren't for this man, I would have gone back to the north, and I would have been so stranded here that I suffered from the plague. Huang Taiji opened his blood-colored eyes, if the hatred was a knife, it would make Wang Pu suffer the punishment of a thousand knives.
