At a certain official army camp in Shan County, Wu Shangwen and several trusted officials were drinking hard in the tent. He had a naked upper body with his muscles and picked up a large bowl full of wine and drank it wildly. The wine dripped down the corner of his mouth. He wiped the corner of his mouth, put down the wine bowl and picked up a roasted lamb leg and bit it.

Mr. Qian, who had a scar on his face, said vaguely while chewing the mutton: "General, we stopped the imperial envoy a few days ago and injured the soldiers of the Beijing camp. This is a great deal. Don't really annoy the court. If the emperor is angry, let the general and the governor deal with us, it will be a great sin!"

Wu Shangwen's personal army was Liu Dagang next to him and said indifferently: "I said Liu Lao Er, the more you live, the less courage you are! Don't you look at what age you are now? The more you fight against the thieves, the more you suppress, it seems that the world is in chaos. Now you have soldiers in your hands, and the court still has to use our official troops to deal with the thieves. How dare we deal with our general for this matter!"

The other generals also agreed.

Wu Shangwen nodded approvingly, swallowed the food in his mouth hard, and said, "Dagang is right! Now the world is in chaos, and the thieves in the Ming Dynasty are gradually becoming more and more powerful. The more soldiers and horses the court are fighting, the more people the more they fight, and even many officials who have suffered defeats and dispersed have joined the thieves camp. The governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, is willing to lead troops to fight, but his command is only 20,000. How many thieves are there? The thieves under the rebel king Gao Yingxiang has more than 20,000 cavalry, which is the cavalry. What are our infantry most afraid of? The cavalry is the cavalry. To be honest, I have more than 20,000 infantry under my command, and we can kill them with just 300 cavalry, let alone 20,000 cavalry. There are other thieves, such as Burglary, Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., which subordinates are not

More than 100,000 people? And the group of Jurchens outside also came to the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of the opportunity. I heard from the guys of the Guanning Army that the Ming Dynasty is now in Liaodong, and they dare not go out of the city to fight, so they can only defend the city. Those Jurchens are all savages, and they are not afraid of death when fighting. If the Jurchens are really allowed to enter the pass, the Ming Dynasty will be over. I think, the Zhu family's country is almost impossible to save. The soft boys in the court dare not treat us at all, and they have to point at us to work hard for them. Now I just want to get more money to recruit soldiers and horses. In the future, whether it is a thief or a Jurchen, we have soldiers in hand, and anyone will look up to us. Then we will also be a prince, hahaha!" After saying that, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and the rest of them picked up the wine bowl and killed it while complimenting.

In a corner of the camp, Mr. Qian was lying in the shade under the horse shed, holding a piece of hay in his mouth, crossing his legs and humming a small bell, and there were several man-in-laws sitting around him.

He is a native of Dan County. He has poor family, few land and many brothers. He has never had a few full meals since he was a child. The private school teacher in the village saw that he was smart and wanted to accept him into school, but his family could not afford Shu Xiu. The old man could only give him a name and gave up.

When he was a teenager, in order to let his parents and brothers eat more, he joined the army. When he was in his twenties, he was promoted from a large army to a Qianzong with his military merits step by step. He was cheerful, righteous, and had strong fighting skills, so the officers and soldiers under him were all convinced. Except for sending some rewards to his family, the rest were scattered to those poor brothers at home.

The general Chen Dashuan said in a muffled voice: "Boss, those grandchildren are drinking and having fun again, but they have made us miserable, and we can't even have enough food! We didn't go last time, but the grandchildren were so proud after returning, with their nostrils facing the sky! They raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes to our brothers, speaking sarcastically, saying that we are the dogs of the Zhu family, and they even beat our owners, looking for an opportunity to deal with us dogs!"

Another general, Sun Rengui, also said: "They intercepted the imperial envoy to fight against the imperial court for not sending military pay. Who doesn't know that although the imperial court gave us not much money, they still allocated some of them and let these bastards swallow them up. We joined the army to fight for food and wages. Now we can't eat enough and there is no salary. Mr. Qian, what do you think we will do in the future?"

Liu Shiquan said in a dark and silence: "The world is in chaos. Wu Shangwen just saw that the court dared not to do anything to him, so he was so bold. Mr. Qian, you have the ability to fight and people are righteous. The brothers admire you. But without money or food, this is not a good way. Otherwise, we might as well kill the group of bastards, copy the military wages they greedy, and take the brothers to occupy a mountain. We don't harm the people, we just rob the rich and help the poor, and drink big bowls of wine and eat meat. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

Wu Qun suddenly sat up, kicked Liu Shiquan and cursed, "You have heard so much about the fuck, right? You even drank a big bowl of wine and ate meat, and robbed the rich to help the poor. That's zào     fǎn! Do you know? Since I was a child, my parents and the gentlemen who named me, all taught me loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness! The world is not peaceful, and it is the time for a good man to make achievements! You let me zào     fǎn, be that unfaithful and unrighteous thief, and you will say such words and peel you off!"

Liu Shiquan sat up and laughed and said, "Mr. Qian, don't we think it's a pity that you are blind? The court is not serious. Wu Shangwen, a bastard like an incompetent bastard, peeing on our brothers' heads, and deducting our military pay. We are so sorry for you!"

Wu Qun said seriously: "No matter what, I, Wu, will never be a rebel! The world is too big, and the court knows nothing. But the emperor is a wise monarch, and Wu Shangwen and others will definitely not have a good end. Just do our duty. At worst, you can sell your life to the court and leave a good reputation, so that you will not let outsiders poke the backbone of us and our family!"

As he was talking, he heard a sound of horse hooves from afar and entered the camp from afar. Soon after, a soldier under Wu Qun hurried over and reported with breath that the governor came to Shan County and sent someone to send an order to ask Wu Shangwen to meet in the county town.

Wu Qun and several generals were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and Wu Qun said, "It must be the matter of the imperial envoy! The court ordered this time very quickly. I feel that the Wu thief is not a good thing this time!"

In Wu Shangwen's tent, he looked at the personal soldiers sent by the governor to pass the orders, and said, "Why did Lord Zhu come to this small place in Shan County? Why did I meet with you?"

The personal soldiers who were sent to the order bowed and replied: "The governor brought the imperial edict from the court and the military pay assigned by the Ministry of Revenue. As for why they recruited the generals and met, I don't know!"

Wu Shangwen burped and said, "I understand, you go back!"

The messenger said, "Please get off quickly! When the governor came from the provincial capital, he knew that General Mou had known the general of the division. He was also here, and he was about to arrive in the county town!"

When Wu Shangwen heard that the general Mou Wenshou was coming, he was the benefactor who promoted him to Wu. He immediately felt much drunk. He spoke seriously: "I will set off now, and you can report back to the governor!"

The messenger left the tent and returned.

Liu Laoer said, "General, why did the imperial court issue an order so quickly this time, and why did the governor suddenly come to Shan County? I always feel that something is wrong!"

Wu Shangwen smiled and said, "The imperial court's order is nothing more than a strict order. The governor who came to Shan County seemed to pay attention to this matter. Otherwise, the court would be embarrassed. If there is anything wrong, why should the Ministry of Revenue allocate money? It must be a slap for me and scolded me openly, and secretly had to use real money to coax us. Don't think about it. What can the court do to me? Are you going to kill a general for this? Are you not afraid of a mutiny between the soldiers? Besides, the generals who participated are also here, so there is no problem!"

Liu Laoer said, "Although what the general said is reasonable, I always feel that something is wrong. To be careful, the general should bring more people there!"

Liu Dagang, the head of the personal army, also advised: "General, you have to take more than 20 miles away from the county town. If you bring a few more people, just take them out of the camp to practice!"

"Okay, Liu Dagang, you can order a hundred personal soldiers and horses, and show the governor our elite soldiers and give Lord Mou a long face!" Wu Shangwen ordered.

After Wu Shangwen was neatly dressed, he took his only 100 cavalrymen out of the camp to the county town. Wu Qun and others looked at their power and were secretly resentful.

Wu Shangwen withdrew the military pay from the officers and soldiers, and in addition to being self-profit, he raised this elite personal army. Although he had never fought with the thieves, this horse team allowed those small bandits to escape. In order to have the capital to protect the family, Wu Shangwen spent a lot of money, and chose the best ones from war horses to armor and weapons. Wu Qun secretly made the secret that although more than a thousand soldiers under his command were loyal and reliable, it was still very difficult to deal with this hundred horse team. I really hope that God opened his eyes and took the thief away.

Wu Shangwen led the horses to walk in a long line on the official road, and the horses were walking in small steps. Wu Shangwen was in the middle of the team, with Liu Dagang, Liu Er and other confidants surrounding him.

Because Shandong has never been thieves, a small group of bandits have long fled far away. The road is very safe, and even a normal horse-snooping trip has not even been out for a few miles. Pedestrians on the road saw the horse team from afar and avoided the road early. The group was so lazy and talking and laughing.

Before he knew it, he walked most of the way. He walked around another dirt slope in front and was almost at the county town. Suddenly, the front team who was bypassing the dirt slope came from a scream. Wu Shangwen cursed and urged Liu Dagang and others to move forward.

As soon as he walked around the earth slope, he saw a few hundred steps ahead, a team of cavalry with bright armor blocked the official road. The generals in the lead were burly, bearded, lion's nose and ringed eyes, and held iron spears in reverse, staring at them coldly.

Wu Shangwen's remaining drunkenness suddenly turned into cold sweats. With the intuition of the general, he knew that something was wrong. This was the military army of the court, and it was the most elite! At least five hundred cavalry, if he wanted to run away, he had a team behind him. Before the horse could get up, the opponent would accelerate and charge. He probably didn't even have the strength to fight back. The only way was to bite the bullet and charge, and he found an opportunity to escape. Thinking of this, he pulled out his sabre and yelled: "Fight with them, and rush!"

Huang Degong looked at the panicked team in front of him and sneered in his heart. He dared to despise the court, and he didn't know how to die!

He clamped the horse's belly with both legs, held the reins in one hand and the spear in the other. The mount suddenly rushed out. The cavalry behind him lined up in a cone shape and followed with him as an arrow. Huang Degong's mount trotted dozens of steps first and slowly accelerated. When he was about fifty steps away from the opponent, the horse rushed up with all his strength.

Wu Shangwen's cavalry was still in chaos. After all, although they were well-equipped, they usually wiped out small groups of bandits. Those bandits did not have horse teams. The cavalry charged against the infantry, which was one-sided. They had never seen the cavalry's charge head-on formation. The large cavalry's charge made them tremble. Some could not even hold on to their weapons, some wanted to move forward, some wanted to escape, and some shouted in horror.

In a blink of an eye, the Yongwei Camp's horse team had cut into the opponent's chaotic formation like a hot knife cutting butter. Huang Degong rushed to the front, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning with the horse's stunning, stabbing the throat of a personal soldier. The opponent was stabbed backwards and rolled backwards and fell off the horse by a huge impact. Then Huang Degong swept horizontally and hit the helmet of another personal soldier. The opponent's neck suddenly broke to one side, twisting his side and falling off the horse.

Huang Degong stabbed the spear in his hand and killed five people in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, he led the Yongwei Battalion to drill the Wu Shangwen horse team through dozens of breaths. Huang Degong broke through Wu Shangwen's formation and ran forward for a while, gradually slowing down the horse speed to leave enough distance for the team behind. After all, it was on the official road, not in the Great Plains area where you could turn and change directions.

After all the rear teams of Yongwei Battalion emerged, Huang Degong turned the horse head and led the team back to the battlefield. There was no standing enemy army on the official road, with corpses everywhere, only some unowned war horses occasionally neighing, and only a dozen soldiers in Yongwei Battalion were injured.

Huang Degong waved his hand, and the Yongwei Battalion horses behind him dismounted one by one, pulled out the ring-headed swords with waistbands and began to cut off their heads one by one. Some were injured and undead begged for mercy. The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion had a expressionless finishing knife and cut off their heads. Some stripped off the armor from the corpse and flipped over, some gathered their bows and arrows, and some gathered their war horses.

After a while, Huang Degong's personal army was Li Sihai holding a look of horror on his face. He came closer with his head with wide eyes wide open and reported: "Report to General, from the armor, this should be the thief of Wu!"

After Huang Degong was searching and picking up all the soldiers, he ordered: "Leave fifty people to find a place to bury the bodies! Armor and weapons are carried with captured horses, and take them to the head. Let's go back to the county town! Send someone to inform Lao Zhou, the matter is over here, let him wait near the Wu thief camp. I will arrive in a while."

It turned out that in order to prevent accidents, Zhou Yuji led a team of two hundred horses to ambush near Wu Shangwen's military camp to prevent Wu Shangwen from escaping back to the military camp. Huang Degong took 300 cavalry to intercept Wu Shangwen. Since there were no fish that missed the net here, he naturally had to notify Zhou Yuji and let him stay where he was waiting for Huang Degong to join Zhu Dadian and head to the military camp together.

In the Shanxian County Yamen, Zhu Dadian was chatting with Wang Bing and Zhang Guoji, while Shandong Governor Mou Wenshou sat aside without saying a word.

Zhu Dadian knew that he had a close relationship with Wu Shangwen, so he knew that he would come with him when he came to Shan County. Mou Wenshou also knew that he was the imperial envoy. Although he didn't agree with it, he knew that as usual, the court issued an order to scold him at most, but the governor still had to give him face, so he brought a team of personal soldiers to Shan County. The main reason was that the governor said that the emperor used the treasury to allocate money, and he came to get a share of the pie.

While everyone was chatting in the second hall, Zhu Dadian's personal soldiers came in to report that Huang Degong, the general of the Yongwei Camp, asked for a meeting.

Mou Wenshou was thinking about how much money he could get this time, but suddenly he heard that the Yongwei Camp was in charge. He had heard of Yongwei Camp and knew that it was the elite around the emperor, so why did he suddenly come to this small place in Dan County?

Zhu Dadian smiled slightly, glanced at Mou Wenshou, and ordered: "Please come in!"

After the personal soldiers saluted, they turned around and came out. After a while, Huang Degong carried a bloody head into the second hall with a sound of footsteps.

Mou Wenshou recognized who the head with a ferocious expression was at a glance. His face was as white as paper, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Wang Bing and Zhang Guoji were also shocked.

Huang Degong knelt down on one knee and saluted, raised his head with one hand, and reported loudly: "Huang Degong, the general of the Yongwei Camp, was ordered by the emperor to lead his troops to kill the rebels. Fortunately, he did not humiliate his order, so I will report back and forth!"

Zhu Dadian smiled and stood up, helped Huang Degong up with both hands, and said, "General Huang is invincible! With such a loyal and brave man, I will congratulate you as the emperor and the court!"

Then he turned to the king and bowed to the two of them and said, "I hope the two old emperors will forgive the concealment of the officials! The emperor gave the officials a secret order to cooperate with General Huang to kill the rebel general who despised the court. In order to prevent the leakage, the officials did not inform the two officials. Please forgive me more!"

Wang and Zhang had already understood and were overjoyed. The shame that had been accumulated in their hearts in the past few days was immediately wiped out, and they laughed happily.

Only Mou Wenshou's face was pale and frightened.

Zhu Dadian turned around, looked at him with a smile, and said, "General Mou Shen, it is said that Wu Shangwen has a close relationship with you. What do you think is the difference between such despises and the court and the rebels?"

Mou Wenshou suddenly stood up and said with a hiss: "My general and Wu Shangwen are only in the superiors and subordinates' relationship! They have no contact on weekdays. This thief has done such a bad thing. The thief wishes to kill him with his own hands! This is a rebel! This is zào     fǎn! Kill well! Kill well!"

Zhu Dadian smiled and said, "Since General Mou has clearly defined his relationship with this thief, then I will not continue to pursue the matter!"

Suddenly, Zhu Dadian said loudly: "I just hope you take this as a warning! Don't mislead yourself in the matter of eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king! Otherwise, the Wu thief's today will be your tomorrow!"

Mou Wenshou knelt down, bowed his head repeatedly, saying that he did not dare, and vowed to do his best to be loyal to the emperor and the court, and would never go against his will.

Zhu Dadian ordered him to stand up and said, "In the past, you regard the orders of the court as nothing. As the emperor's imperial envoy and governor of Shandong, the orders you issued were all lip service. From today on, if you have an order, if you don't follow me, you will definitely behead you and will not forgive me!"

Mou Wenshou shuddered and was extremely arrogant.

Zhu Dadian bowed to Wang and Zhang and said, "Two old masters, I will go to the Wu bandits' camp with General Huang to rectify military affairs and announce the imperial edict. You will have a few days off for a while and wait until the items to worship the imperial tomb are ready, it will not be too late for you to go to Fengyang again!"
