With a male sword inserted in his waist, the dragon and tiger roar in the middle of the night.

Ping Ming Deng's future, Wan Li does not look back.

If a man should die in the wild, is it a seal like a fight

Loyalty represents the grand festival, the glory of the eternal age.

"Out of the Block"

Tang Dynasty: Zhang Yan

—I am the dividing line —

On a large ship on the upper reaches of the Huai River, Qin Zongheng, who looks lean and handsome but looks slightly fierce because of a pair of hanging eyes, also has a somewhat hopeful and contented look, looking at the species of wind on the other side of Huainan.

Because the land on the Huai River has become a hunting ground for the Caizhou army headed by his Qin brothers. Whether it was the once prestigious Probation Army or the once prosperous Wu Ning Army, they could only retreat in the city with fear, and let them lay down a stronghold and a fortification, and engulf the place over and over again. Copy and plunder into white ground.

Behind Cai Zhoujun, he got the secret tacit understanding from the father and son of King Changshan from Chengdejun, and he always assisted and echoed intentionally or unintentionally on the bright side. Although according to the eldest brother, Wang Jingchong, an old man, is very cunning, and he sees bad water. He just wants to use Cai Zhoujun's hand to make Henan unrest.

However, although the current Caizhou Army is nominally belonging to the Daqi New Dynasty in Chang'an, it is the most marginalized family among the various forces located in the Kanto/Central Plains; if one of the three towns in Hebei cannot accept the goodwill of the Chengde army, then It's really isolated and helpless, and there is no other foreign aid and peace.

You know, as one of the four great sufferings in Henan, the root of the Huai Shang thief originated from the folks; Caizhou from the Qin brothers and Shenzhou from the Huaixi Liu Hanhong, plus the arrival in Guangzhou, etc. The land is known as the troubled land where thieves like the Iron Triangle frequently occur.

Because it is in the floodplain along the Huai River all the year round, the local ponds and waters are everywhere; and after each flooding, the corresponding boundary markers are missing, which triggers battles and bloodshed over the whole village. This has also created the local customs that are particularly aggressive and courageous, and advocate clans and township parties to form associations and fight against each other.

Therefore, as the people are generally suffering from poverty and suffering, once they encounter a year of poor harvest or disaster, they can only stop looking for a livelihood and embark on smuggling, robbery, etc., and they need to be good at courage and courage. Door business. What's more, in order to get ahead, they simply joined the feudal town of the anti-revolutionary court, or the sequence of gangsters.

Therefore, the people in Caizhou missed the days when the brothers Li Xilie and Wu Yuanji separatized Huaixi. Although in those decades of intensive and long-saw sawing, it became the place of unhealable wounds and severe heart disease on the imperial body, but because Li Xiyeol's generation needed to rely on the local children to fight against the imperial court, and by plundering foreign wealth and silk children Come to support and give preferential treatment to your subordinates;

And the Caizhou people have never failed to live up to these commanders, and they fought bravely to encircle all roads, but have various imperial court soldiers. It was not until the surprise attack of the famous general Li Xuan in the twelfth year of Yuanhe that "Caizhou on a snowy night" completely turned the separatist Huaixi into history. Caizhou people can only hang their heads and hibernate under the imperial court's Wanghua under the bloody swords and guns.

And Shen Guangcai's Triangle of Thieves, like Chen Xuzhi's land, became a place where the imperial court prospered to produce powerful troops. He has been regarded as one of the main forces of the army and the army of the king, and participated in the many conquests between Yuanhe and Dazhong. Waves of local children died, and many well-known people have emerged.

"As the saying goes, it is a troubled place in the Huai River. If there is no thieves, there will be strong soldiers." However, the good times did not last long. Since the beginning of the Qianfu Yuan Dynasty, the land of Henan has been accompanied by natural and man-made disasters and continuous droughts and floods. In the second year of Qianfu's reign, the Central Plains was even a thousand miles away, but the vast majority of the guards appointed by the court would only try their best to collect and accumulate them in their own pockets.

As a result, the refugees/thieves in the border areas have swarmed, and the anti-thief giants headed by the salt owl king and Huang have emerged. The Qin clan was originally a child of a military household under Caizhou’s subordinates who used the world as a soldier. Because of the need to prepare for theft, many people, including his uncles and brothers, were recruited into the military training under the military prefecture. power.

In the process of peacemaking, Qin Zongquan, the eldest brother of the Qin’s army, was also bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty because of his bravery. He soon gained the green eyes of the then loyal military commander-Chen Xujiedu, Xue Neng. , And Pull Ju is one of the tents under the tooth soldiers military academy.

However, Zhou Xi, a general of local origin in Xuzhou, used the Xuzhou soldiers in transit as an excuse to instigate the rebellion, so he drove out the loyal military army Jiedu and replaced him with Xue Neng. As a target who may be liquidated by the new coach after he took office, the eldest brother Qin Zongquan also resolutely led some of the former dental soldiers to flee to their hometown of Caizhou, drive away the governor and segregate the country.

Then, in the barren and weak land of Caizhou, he circulated in the cracks between the imperial court, the towns and the grass thieves, and continued to lead the local children to attack and attack the city, plundering the population and property and annexing the powerful and the gangsters. Only when we grow stronger, we have the prosperous situation today.

However, today’s Caizhou Army is relatively entrenched in most parts of Huaixi, and Liu Hanhong, a fellow neighboring state who is known as a large number of soldiers, is also deeply jealous; for Zhu Laosan, who is struggling to unify the capital, straddling the river and occupying Heyang. Zhuge Shuang, the leader of the Three Cities, and Cao Xiang, who regained the entire Tianping Army from Wei Bojun, formed a triangle alliance that was also quite vigilant.

Therefore, in the end, after Cai Zhou went all the way around, he finally aimed at another triangle alliance on Huai Shang; still under the banner of the imperial court, Taining (Yanhai) army and feelings (Xu Si) ) The Army and the Lu (Qingzi) Army constitute a self-protection alliance.

Because they not only suffered severe damage to their territories and power after the Battle of Surabaya, where the Huangchao had passed before, but they were also threatened step by step from the German army Wang Jingchong and his sons from one of the three towns in Hebei. The land of the state is lost. Just under the abdomen and back of the enemy, as the Caizhou army's fine knife to cut meat constantly plundering people's property.

As for the land of Huainan, separated by water, Caizhou has never thought about it. On the one hand, it was due to the agreement between Liu Hanhong and Liu Hanhong in the north and south according to their respective strategies. It was also the taboo of the last famous general of the country, Gao Linggong, known as the "Nan Tian Yizhu" and "the wall city of the country", and his soldiers were mostly armed and armed. A hundred thousand Huainan army with sufficient food.

However, I never thought that Huainan, who was under the leadership of the world famous general, would actually become civilized. So under the eldest brother's strong support, he eliminated a partial teacher headed by Pi Jiang Sun Ru, and dived into Huainan as a temptation or two. Bendai should make corresponding preparations and take the initiative to sever and clear the ties if something cannot be done, and will not give Huainan a chance to make trouble.

But I had thought that Huainan was also so weak and empty. Sun Ruchu, who was a mere circumstance who was changed to the decisive commander, came to Chuzhou, and easily relied on the crowds to defeat Sanyang, the capital of the "first state in Southeastern Huaishui", and then captured one of the eight counties. Land, the war has been advanced to the shore of Gaoyou Lake in Yangzhou.

Now Cai Zhou's army will inevitably have a lot of mixed feelings. Naturally, there are those who compliment the elder brother with his eyes and know the heroes, and can appropriately add more troops to expand the results; some also question whether most of them are Sun’s exaggerating their achievements as self-respect; Take this important task.

After all, for most people, the Caizhou army headquarters is a tactical attack without any disadvantages. The population and property obtained from the three towns on the Huai River are not counted, but the actual land occupied is only the counties along the Huai River. The larger cities have not yet been attacked.

However, it was Sun Ru's partial division, and he immediately grabbed a site that was almost comparable to it. This made many people in the Caizhou army who claim to be credited and feel a little embarrassed. Those who wanted to volunteer to take their place also rushed to appear in front of the older brother, vowing that they would do something to stay true to themselves.

It’s just that there are a lot of people who want to win, and the eldest brother can’t make a decision for a while. In addition, the situation in Huainan has changed a few months, and new forces have emerged constantly, and Sun Ru has been sent from Shanyang. The treasures of the treasures are still satisfied in my heart; I want to wait and let them go again.

As a result, I waited for the all-out counterattack from the three towns of Huaishang, who were relieved of their anger; several teams of plundering and harassment were broken up and defeated, and the younger brother Qin Zongding, who was a pioneer and horse envoy, was also defeated. Capture and kill. The eldest brother also had to go to the front to stabilize his position, designing to encircle and attack the probation army general in the vicinity of Fu Liji.

The delay has been more than a month, but the situation in Huainan has changed drastically again. The old man from Shouzhou made Yang Xingmin, the old tribe of Cao Quanzhu, a new force in Huainan. Not only did he defeat the most powerful Liu Hanhong and Bi Shiduo in Guangling City, he also wiped out the entire army that Sun Ru had also fought.

Therefore, facing the request for help from the remnant of Sun Ru in the city of Shanyang, the eldest brother fell into a certain contradiction. Should we give up taking back this little man, or should we continue to add reinforcements to keep this only surviving site in Huainan? Fortunately, the threat/seeking for help from Liu Hanhong, a fellow Huaixi villager, finally helped him make up his mind.

But this time there were very few candidates who could take the initiative to ask for orders. In the end, Qin Zongheng, the left-wing horse infantry envoy known as the "Three Generals", "reluctantly" then led the eight thousand Huai to the army and collected them. Hundreds of large and small boats were released to the mission of Chuzhou.

"Three rates are thinking about Shanyang?"

Qin Zongheng was thinking about it, and he heard someone around him compliment Shichee: he couldn't help but look closely, but it was Liu Jianfeng, the commander of Long Xiangdu from Langshan, Caizhou, who was under his command.

"In the past, when I was in the same account, I thought that Sun Ru was nothing more than that. It was only at the right time that I was able to take advantage of the situation. Now a little defeat is the truth!..."

"You can't be slack and scornful! Anyway, it's someone who has worked hard for the Caizhou Army, and is also our Caizhou child."

Qin Zongheng was deflated and dangled a little and waved his hand: Although what he said is like this, how should he send him off after seeing Sun Ru

Just a little bit of admonishment according to the older brother's meaning; after all, he is a general who can make a breakthrough in Huainan by himself, and he will need some help in the future. It's just that Qin Zongheng really has no idea about this. If he can't subdue such a character, then how can he have enough authority to command the army

At this time, the open water surface in the distance was once again filled with the nearby shore scenery, but it was used as the landing place in Chuzhou. The local largest water transportation transfer terminal in Mokou Town/gang ferry has arrived. However, the expressions of Liu Jianfeng and others around Qin Zongheng became a little difficult to look at.

Because, in this once extremely prosperous port city/ferry, there was an old ship that was half overturned and half stranded on the side of the trestle bridge, but it was empty and quietly without a single figure. Liu Jianfeng could not help but said angrily:

"This Sun Tietou is also too rude. Three rates came from a long distance to rescue. Isn't it that the money to meet and lead the way does not send a man..."

"Perhaps there are important tasks that have been delayed..."

However, Qin Zongheng smiled lightly, but defended it: (End of this chapter)
