Chapter 349 Phoenix Female Army
Seeing the spear, Chen Kefu had already guessed the identity of the other party. This one was different from the standard horse lance he had used. The head of this horse lance was larger than that of an ordinary horse lance. And looking at the beauty of the spear, we can see that the head of the spear was covered with copper.
A horse spear is not as good as a spear. The head of the horse spear has a stern part. It can be regarded as a small wolf's mace on the battle formation with a nail head on it. The spear that Chen Kefu saw now has a larger head than an ordinary horse spear, and the nail head on the spear is copper. Those who use this kind of spear must be shockingly powerful, and the routines used are mostly strong and powerful. This kind of spear has a unique name, called the Golden Nail Zaoyang Spear.
In Wagang, the only person who used this weapon, based on the news he received from the Special Service Department was the second in command of the second in charge of the Flying General Chifa Lingguan.
As expected, as he expected, the tiger Zhai Wushuang immediately smiled and rode his horse forward.
"Uncle II, are you going to pick me up? I'm back, are you still having such a big fight?" The man immediately smiled and looked at Zhai Wushuang with spoiled eyes. "According to the itinerary, jiāojiāo, shouldn't you come back two days ago? Have you encountered any trouble on the road? Tell me, I'm going to help you solve it.
Zhai Wushuang withdrew at Shan Xiongxin, "It's not the minions of the court. When I came back, I happened to meet the marshal Chen Kefu of the court plotted to rebel and defected from Beijing. As a result, he was searched everywhere in Henan County, and even when he arrived in Xingyang County, there were many pursuers. We had to deal with it carefully along the way, and it was delayed a little time on the way. Second Uncle, where are you going?" Shan Xiongxin smiled and said, "Do you still remember the Liu Zhiyuan who came to the east to the mountain village several times? He is Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan County who raised an army with Yang Xuangan back then."
Zhai Wushuang frowned and thought, "Oh, that guy is Li Mi, why is he here again? Did he come again to persuade his father to compete for the world or something? I saw this person not a good person, and it is no benefit to listen to him. Now we are doing well, why should he listen to his nonsense? If he is really that powerful, then why did he defeat Yang Xuangan so quickly when he assisted Yang Xuangan to raise an army?" "I am too lazy to care about these things, anyway, your father and your brother Xu and others are discussing. But Li Mi still has two tricks.
A few days ago, he came to the door with the head of the Baihu Mountain Village of Jiyang. Li Mi said that he could help us integrate the nearby villages with Wagang, and we were half-believing and half-doubted. Unexpectedly, he really convinced several nearby village owners yesterday to come together. Now your father and your brother Xu are discussing with them in the Juyi Hall. In addition to Wang Bodang, there are also four nearby village owners, including Wang Dangren, Zhou Wenju, Li Gongyi and Xie Yingdeng, who are also discussing matters together. I felt bored staying there, so I took my brothers to patrol."
After Shan Xiongxin said a few more words, he galloped away with his men and horses. Chen Kefu looked at the five hundred cavalry, each of whom was brave and healthy, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of the Wagang Army by another level in his heart.
Wagang Village was established by Zhai Rang in the seventh year of Daye. After Zhai Rang established the village, Shan Xiongxin, who was originally in the same county as Zhai Rang, also brought many raids to join him for many years. Shan Xiongxin was a landlord and had a wealthy family. In fact, he was helpless to join Wagang like Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang was originally a legal master in Dongjun and made friends with black and white, and Shan Xiongxin was also one of the friends he made. Shan Xiongxin was an earthlord of Dongjun on the surface, but in fact he was also opened by Zhai Rang many of the business deals in Dongjun, and there were many illegalities. When Zhai Rang fell off the protective umbrella, Shan Xiongxin immediately became the target of the new legal master.
When he saw that the situation was not good, he simply took the family fortune and took a group of brothers on the road to Wagang Village in Hua County and joined the old brother Zhai Rang. The pair of Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin occupied Wagang and robbed the wealthy families nearby, making a lot of noise. As a result, Xu Gai, a big landlord who was not far from Wagang, could no longer do it. Judging from the love between the bandits in Wagang, it would not take long before their Xu family would be destroyed.
When there was no choice, Xu Shiji, the son of Xu Gai, the head of the Xu family, who was only seventeen years old, volunteered to go to Wagang with a generous gift, hoping to lose money and avoid disaster. As a result, after arriving at Wagang,
I don’t know why, but after a while, Mr. Xu entered Wagang Village and became the leader of the third leader.
In fact, Xu Shiji, who was born in a local tycoon, was not an honest person. According to historical records, in his later years, he was very proud of his experience when he was young. He once said, "I am a rogue thief at the age of 12 or 30, and I will kill everyone when I meet people: I am a thief at the age of 14 or 5 or 5, and I will kill all those who are unhappy (whoever is dissatisfied and dislike him): I am a good thief at the age of 17 or 8, and I will kill people when I go to battle: I am a general in the world at the age of 20, and I will use troops to save people to die." It can be seen that Xu Shixun had already killed people at a young age, and he was like Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin, and they were not good birds.
After joining the gang, he persuaded Zhai Rang, "The neighborhood is your hometown and my fellow villagers, and it is not suitable to invade. The Song and Zheng states are close to the Yuhe River, and there are many business travelers. It is very convenient to go there to plunder officials' money and goods." Therefore, Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin changed their strategies according to his words, and changed their strategies from robbing wealthy families nearby to changing faces to plundering many ships not far away. They pulled up a fleet of ships and specifically plundering business travelers on the canal. They were also considered as rabbits no longer eating grass by their nests.
With Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin, two powerful generals, and Xu Shiji's strategy, the Wagang Army continued to grow. Many heroes nearby came to join us. Huang Junhan, who once saved Zhai Rang's life, took the fourth seat. In history, Huang Junhan later entered the Tang Dynasty and was finally granted the title of Duke, in charge of the military affairs of the five prefectures.
There were also wealthy Jia Xiong, literati Fang Xuanzao, and Zu Junyan rushed to join him. In addition, Zhai Rang's elder brother Zhai Hong and his old subordinate Wang Ruxin, nine people were the leader of the parody, with the little overlord Zhai Rang as the leader. Wagang developed rapidly and his subordinates quickly exceeded 10,000. However, their development also caused Zhang Xutuo, and Zhang Xutuo led his troops to encircle and suppress Wagang repeatedly. Although there were fierce men like Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji, until the ninth year of Daye, Zhang Xutuo entered Liao in more than 30 battles, and no one won. Every time he was beaten and fled. In front of Zhang Xutuo, a natural enemy, Wagang was like a leek. After finally growing stronger, he would be wiped out by Zhang Xutuo immediately. As a result, Wagang Village was the earliest uprising among all peasant army, and had several strong leaders, but the number was still less than 10,000.
It was not until Zhang Xutuo died in Liao that the Wagang army grew stronger in more than a year, and it even belonged to the most powerful branch of the Henan counties. Now there are nearly 20,000 soldiers in Wagang, including nearly 7,800 veterans and 2,000 cavalry. Hundreds of ships, and the north and south sections of the canal near Dongjun are within the sphere of influence of Wagang Village, and they are widely used every day. For this reason, Li Mi, who was originally incognito but was discovered and pursued by the court, directly targeted Wagang Village.
However, the goddess has feelings, but King Xiang has no intention. Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin, who were born in the Sui Dynasty, had no good feelings for Li Mi, who had been a nobleman of Pushan Duke. Even after Li Mi came a few times, he was still preparing to kill him. Fortunately, he was moved by Li Mi, and Wang Bodang, who was determined to follow Li Mi, immediately made suggestions to Zhai Rang. "Although Li Mi is an old subordinate of Yang Xuangan, he is a desperate person and has no homeless. He is very talented and has a good plan. It is better to do this first and let him go to the nearby area to recruit all kinds of thieves. If he succeeds, he will be a talent. If he fails, it will not be too late to kill him."
It was precisely because of this that Zhai Rang stopped killing and finally agreed to Wang Bodang's proposal. For Zhai Rang, there was no Zhang Xutuo in Henan, and it was when they expanded their territory and expanded their business. If they could merge the nearby counterfeits, they would undoubtedly greatly strengthen their strength.
Today, Li Mi successfully explained that the five parish leaders, including Wang Bodang, merged with Wagang.
There were 20,000 troops in Wagang Village, while Wang Bodang's five parodies together had nearly 10,000 people. Last year, due to the pacification of Liaodong, the imperial army had the opportunity to transfer back to the Central Plains from the border. Under the encirclement and suppression of the troops from various places, many small-scale uprising troops, or bandits, were wiped out. For Wang Bodang and others, the stronger their strength was, and the more they could resist when facing the imperial army.
Zhai Rang, Li Mi, Xu Maogong and others were gathered in Yi Hall to celebrate while drinking. Chen Kefu and Sun Simiao, who were pseudonyms Andy Lau and Sun Shimiao, were taken directly to the inner castle by Zhai Wushuang.
The inner fort of Wagang Village is specially lived in the families of the brothers of the village. They are not regular soldiers, they are all rebels. Every voluntary or imprisoned clerk will eventually connect the family and the young and old to the inner fortress. For four or five years, the men in the village have gone out to rob, and Furu weave clothes and cook in the village. Without taxes and military service, the government has no oppression, and he has lived like a paradise and is content to escape.
When Chen Kefu was finally carried into Zhai Wushuang's mansion, Chen Kefu couldn't help feeling bad. It was better to say that it was a patrol than a military camp. The courtyards that were in front and back were deep, and no one saw another of them along the way. All the eyes were all women wearing light armor. These women were all young and strong women, with their bows and knives on their backs and spears in their hands. Each of them had a big braid and tied them in a circle on their heads. They were dressed in imitation male soldiers with tight cuffs, and none of them wore women's clothes.
Although these people are all women, with Chen Kefu's rich experience in fighting on the battlefield, he still saw at a glance that these women did not only have appearances. These people stood there as straight as guns, their eyes were as lightning, and they were obviously trained for a long time. Especially each person's figure was not as weak as ordinary women.
Basically, they are over 1.67 meters tall, and they are all tall, with strong hands and thick feet. Although this is the case, without the tenderness of a woman, they also have a kind of murderous aura.
