The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Gucheng County.

At the ferry crossing more than ten miles upstream of the county seat, people screamed loudly early in the morning. Looking around, hundreds of ships, large and small, were crossing the river, with countless heads of people surging on both sides of the river.

The entire army of more than 20,000 troops crossed the Han River in just one day. It can be seen that even though Zuo Liangyu has been standing still in Gwanghwa County, he has made sufficient preparations.

that's the truth.

Over the past six months, Zuo Liangyu has been aggressively curbing, asking for rewards and food, while recruiting troops.

In just half a year, not only the soldiers and horses have been doubled, but the elite cavalryman Ding has reached a thousand men.

It can be said that compared to other generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu is definitely the most willing to smash his silver on his own troops, rather than the house and property.

"Father, the eight great kings have surrendered Gucheng and retreated to the foot of Tianlang Mountain twenty miles away. They also sent ten beauties, ten thousand silver ounces, and a box of jewelry."

"Huh! If he counts as the eight great kings who are interested, I will let him go for the time being. Tomorrow you will bring ten thousand horses to Gucheng and go to the Baokang Club for his father for a while.

Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly. If it hadn't been for Xiong Wencan's urgency, the Eight Great Kings had returned to the court and gave Gucheng out, so that he could not find an excuse. He would have to kill the Eight Great Kings first.

The day before yesterday, Xiong Wencan had just allocated a batch of money and food to him, and Baokang was breached by a new wave of anti-thief.

At this time, instead of fighting Baokang, he went to fight the Eight Great Kings who had returned to the court. The Xiong must have written to impeach him.

Now that the anti-thieves from all walks of life were wiped out, the imperial court has freed up all the anti-thief forces, and he did not dare to act like he did before.

So even if Xiong Wencan didn't give him money and food, he still wanted to cross the river to attack. The key is that Gwanghwa County has no oil and water.

And the Eight Great Kings nestling in Tianlang Village, after listening to the report from the people who returned, were really taken aback by Zuo Liangyu's strength.

A thousand elite cavalry, 20,000 horses each holding a sword, and half of them have cotton armor. This strength, even in his heyday, is not enough!

Similarly, the Orioles, who were training soldiers and horses in Baokang, were also scared to death.

"You read that right? Are you sure it is the army of the court?"

"Sister Hong, we are absolutely right. It must be the court's army, not the thieves of the Eight Great Kings. The Eight Great Kings' troops evacuated from Gucheng yesterday and went downstream."

The two female soldiers who galloped all the way and ran back from Gucheng to report the news, quickly replied profusely.

"How many people are there in the other party, do you see clearly?" Hongying looked solemn.

Both women shook their heads together.

Then one of them said: "Anyway, there are many, many to the number can not be counted. From morning to afternoon, we have been crossing the river. When we came, there were soldiers and horses constantly crossing the river."

"By the way, there seems to be a cavalry." Another female soldier added.

"There are also cavalry, how many are there?" Oriole breathed tightly, and said anxiously.

"Should...it shouldn't be less than us. They ride tall horses and they all have armor."

"It's broken, that means there are nearly Qianqi at the lowest?"

Oriole's face changed drastically.

If that group of officers and soldiers were really here to fight them, the thousand cavalry would be coming down the city at noon at the latest.

"What about Sister Hong? That group of officers and soldiers must have come to beat us, or let's run quickly."

"Yes, before the cavalry arrived, let's take the trail and ran back to the Black Mountain Village overnight."

Both women were anxiously panicked, and they were obviously frightened by the endless battles of the officers and soldiers when they were in Gucheng.

"The kid is still in Fangxian, what will he do if we run away?"

The Orioles didn't have a good air, and then shouted at the outside, and a pretty female soldier walked in.

"Xiao Cui, you take the three sisters to Fangxian immediately to report, one person and three horses, you must arrive before dark, don't care about the horse, you know?"

"Yes, Sister Hong."

"Ok…"

Hongying confessed to her again, and the woman named Xiao Cui hurriedly left.

But at this time, it was not even an hour before dark.

Immediately, the Orioles called Liu Hu, Wang Daniu, and the other three young captains, intending to discuss them.

The three captains were still young, and Qin Yu used to do whatever he said, while Liu Hu and Wang Daniu were even more peasants.

The five people heard that a large army was coming, and they all panicked. Where did they come up with any ideas?

In the end, the Orioles had to decide to take two hundred juvenile soldiers and the bull team to ambush the opposing cavalry at the mouth of the Sancha River overnight.

In any case, the opposing cavalry can't be killed under Baokang City tomorrow. As for whether to fight or leave, it has to wait for Qin Yu to come back to decide.

The five naturally have no opinion. At this moment, they are all six gods and no masters. The Orioles say what they say, but the Orioles also don't know what to do.

"By the way, the news of the incoming officers and soldiers must be kept secret and cannot be told to others for the time being."

As soon as the five of them got up to go down to work, Oriole patted his forehead and said.

...

For one hundred and twenty miles, the army walked for three full days, but Xiao Cui took three female soldiers, changing horses and not changing people. It took only an hour or more before rushing to Fang County.

At this time, the sky was just getting dark.

If it is in the plain area, it is still normal, but in the hilly area, it is extremely scary.

If it weren't for the four women's short stature, all weighing only 80 kilograms, and three horses, they would have died of exhaustion if they were not on the road.

Even so, after arriving, the horses under the hips of the three people ran at high speed for a long time, foaming at their mouths and fell to the ground.

At this time, Qin Yu was drinking with Niu Er in the county government room.

Two of them, one by one, put their arms around the two concubines of the county magistrate Wu, pushed their cups and changed their cups, and had a great time.

And the county magistrate Wu was in charge of pouring the wine tremblingly, apparently the one who was concocted had no bones.

It wasn't until Qin Tie hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Qin Yu's ear that Chief Qin's expression changed drastically.

Then he adjusted and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, you drink first, brother has something to deal with, just go and come."

"Oh, brother, go and come back quickly, brother is waiting for you." Niu Er was having a good time. He didn't notice the change in his face just now, waved his hand and smiled.

Qin Yu hurried out of the room and came to the hall, looking at the embarrassed four women, suddenly anxious.

"Xiao Cui, what happened?"

"Xiao Hua...Hua Wang, it's not good..."

Xiao Cui hurriedly said what the Orioles had explained.

"How is it possible? How could the Eight Great Kings let go of Gucheng and let Zuo Liangyu's army cross the river?"

"I understand, it must be the eighth king's surrender to the court."

Qin Yu was equally shocked, and then he woke up with a slap on the forehead.

Although the Eight Great Kings in history also submitted to the court at this time, it was because their strength was weakened to the extreme.

After he was reborn, he not only ambushed two Ming troops and won a complete victory, but also wiped out the bandit cottage.

Therefore, the Eight Great Kings are definitely several times stronger than in the previous life. They have never had the idea of ​​submitting to the court, and even wanted to die with Zuo Liangyu more than once.

however.

Not long ago, he wooed Niu Er, attacked Sun Kewang, and beat the Eight Great Kings back to their original form in one fell swoop.
