Zhu Yaoshi led all the bankers to the northwest for fifty miles. He suddenly remembered what Vice General Zhao had said back then, that if something didn't work out for him, he could come and find a solution, so he led his people to the Taihang Mountains in the southwest. The newly defected bankers quickly blocked the crowd: "

Now we are bound to be arrested in the Liang Kingdom. Going south is a dead end. It is better to follow me to Herenbao to seek a way out."

Everyone felt that what the banker said was reasonable. Zhu Yaoshi guessed that this person must be a spy from Mobei, but making enemies at this time would not help. Zhu Yaoshi shouted to the man: "You are the Black Flag Khan."

People sent by the state, if you want to recruit these people, I will not stop you. If everyone wants to go, you can go. I will go south alone to join my sworn brother."

The villager also smiled: "Thousands of armies are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. I came down to Master Zhu Zhuang just so that one day I can take Master Zhu Zhuang to serve the Khanate. Today, I am afraid that the Master Zhu cannot help himself."

It's up to you." He took out the noose and came to catch Pharmacist Zhu.

Several people from Zhuangke also rushed over to capture Pharmacist Zhu. Pharmacist Zhu did not panic. He leaned back and whipped his horse, and the bay-red horse rushed out. The crowd also followed closely behind him.

They put the nooses on the maroon horse one after another.

Zhu Yaoshi clamped his legs on the saddle, pulled out his knife and cut off all the nooses, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, please stay with your benevolence and righteousness, so that we can meet again someday. If you go over there, you can stay with me."

Why should we fight to the death if we can share what we have?"

When everyone heard this, they stopped their horses and said, "If Zhu Zhuangzhu can't stay on the mountain any longer, he can come back and join us again, and he still won't lose his position as a general."

Pharmacist Zhu did not dare to be careless and continued to urge the horse forward and shouted back: "Take care!"

As Zhu Yaoshi went south, he encountered some bandits from the old tribe. After everyone complained, Zhu Yaoshi realized that the land of Youzhou and Jizhou was already full of bandits. Zhu Yaoshi wanted to gather them to capture the county seat, but everyone poured cold water on him:

"Brother Zhu, we have long thought about becoming big and waiting for the court to recruit people, but now General Zhong who is commanding the troops in Hebei does not give us this opportunity at all. He chases us everywhere and kills us. Even General Zhao who is entrenched in the Taihang Mountains has been killed by them.

Cut off the head”

Hearing that Vice General Zhao had been killed, Pharmacist Zhu couldn't help but regret not following the villagers to Mobei. At this time, another person said: "I heard that Brother Zhu and the current Grand Master Murong are related by marriage. How did Brother Zhu end up here?"

At this point now”

But Zhu Yaoshi raised his head and said: "How can I leave my brothers alone? What's more, what this brother said may not be true. We should avoid the imperial army and wait for the opportunity. General Zhong's cavalry is not as good as ours. Our only

The advantage is that we can run faster than them. Now we capture the county seat, seize the money and food, and leave, leaving them exhausted. As time goes by, the court can no longer afford it, and we can take root."

Someone else proposed to restore the title of the Qin State and advised Zhu Yaoshi to proclaim himself king. Zhu Yaoshi disagreed: "The State of Qin was originally unpopular, and becoming king now will become a thorn in the eyes of the various imperial armies. We will not set up a flag or proclaim the title of king. We will fight."

If you win, fight, if you can't, run away. Let's get bigger first!"

The Central Plains was hit by floods, droughts and locust plagues. Naturally, the two great khanates in Mobei were unwilling to let go of this God-given opportunity. So the two great khanates met again and agreed to send troops in September. Pajaqili ordered a thousand-feather army to go straight to the Monolith Fort.

Hu Gao stopped him: "Although the Liang Kingdom has suffered a disaster, the strength of the Liang Army is still there. We will suffer too much loss by attacking us. The spies are here to report that bandits are everywhere in Hebei. We send people to collect these bandits. If we cooperate inside and outside, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"

Pajaqili thought for a while: "I'm afraid those bandits are no match for Liang Jun. I'm afraid we can't count on them as reinforcements."

Hu Gao smiled: "Of course ordinary bandits can't do it, but some bandits were originally dismissed soldiers of Liang Jun. These people are people who have fought for many years. As long as they are given weapons, clothing, food and grass support, they will be able to contain Liang Jun. I

A person has been identified, his name is Zhu Yaoshi. He has won the hearts of the people and has gathered thousands of people to harass Liang Jun on the border between the two countries."

Ju Wuzhi interjected: "Since this person can come and go freely during the encirclement and suppression of Liang Jun's army, he must be superior to others, but if this person becomes bigger, it may not be beneficial to us in the future."

Hu Gao laughed: "Since we have provided him with food, grass and soldiers, we will naturally place our people in his army. If he becomes bigger in the future, if he has second thoughts about us, just eradicate him!"

The Green Banner Khanate was sincere. On September 13th in Yanchang, they mobilized 50,000 horses and marched directly into the clouds. By October, Yunzhong Shuozhou had fallen into the hands of the Green Banner Khanate. The imperial court urgently ordered Chen Hongyi to lead his army to resist.

, Chen Hongyi gathered 30,000 people from all walks of life and stationed in Yecheng.

With the support of the Black Banner Khanate, Zhu Yaoshi had 30,000 troops under his command in less than a few months. He first rushed back to Fan Yang, killing the governor Xiao Ming and other officials, and then captured Changshan. After some looting, he retreated to Herenbao for temporary refuge.

Zhong Zhiming led his army in pursuit, but gave up when they reached the border between the two countries and had to garrison the Monolith Fort.

The Monolith Fort is still busy, with caravans coming in endlessly. The guards and soldiers told Zhong Zhiming that bandits are rampant now, and the Black Flag Khanate still has no movement and continues to sell cattle, sheep and horses to the Central Plains. Zhong Zhiming

Zhiming searched the Dushi Fort for several days and found nothing, so he had to lead his army back to Xiangguo.

At this time, several aristocratic families in Jinling City could not bear the thought of being hijacked by Liu Xuan, and they also wanted to let Chen Hongyi and Mobei consume each other, so they secretly ordered Zhong Zhiming to lead his army back to Jinling to rest. After receiving Xiaoshan's warrant, Zhong Zhiming sighed for a long time and saw

After looking at the staff around him, he had no choice but to lead the army back south.

As soon as Zhong Zhiming's 30,000 troops retreated, Zhu Yaoshi went south again. By the end of November, he had reached the front line of Fuyang Xiangguo and captured all of Youzhou. Zhu Yaoshi was concerned about the Black Flag Khanate's spying on him.

Knowing everything clearly, he ordered his old troops to open warehouses in Fanyang Changshan and other places to release grain to help the victims, and secretly recruited thousands of dead soldiers to prepare for any eventuality.

Zhu Yaoshi captured dozens of cities in a row, and the news soon spread to Jinling. The wealthy families took the opportunity to impeach the prince Liu Jian and the grand master Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei on the grounds that they colluded with Zhu Yaoshi to rebel. Liu Xuan was unambiguous and went directly

The imperial edict ordered Li Xiaofei to lead troops to conquer Zhu Yaoshi.

Li Xiaofei was worried and happy when he heard that Zhu Yaoshi had become a big man. What he was worried about was that the wars were causing great harm to the people, and he and Zhu Yaoshi were going to fight for the enemy. What he was happy about was that Zhu Yaoshi had such ability. Li Xiaofei struggled all night and asked Meng Wuwu to find him.

Several maids took care of Hong Rui and followed the army northward to conquer Zhu Yaoshi.

The imperial court issued an edict to Li Xiaofei to conquer Zhu Yaoshi, and only allocated him 5,000 troops. Li Xiaofei was fearless, but his subordinates were all sent from Jinling, so they all felt like they were mourning for their heirs, thinking that there was no return.

After Li Xiaofei led his army to set off, impeachments continued in Jinling City. Before Li Xiaofei arrived in Xiangguo, the court reported that Li Xiaofei had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. However, Liu Xuan ignored them all and sent Li Xiaofei to conquer Zhu Yaoshi this time. He won.

But he didn't care at all. What he wanted was for Li Xiaofei to fight Zhu Yaoshi with a real sword and a real spear to silence the wealthy family.

But Li Xiaofei's luck was really bad, the Thousand Feather Army of the Black Flag Khanate came.

The Qianyu Army trained for more than a year, and it only took half an hour to capture the Monolithic Fortress. Fan Zhi and Hong Cheng rushed to the front, while the Qianyu Army behind them all competed for the lead. First, they shot arrows and pulled out Liang Jun from the arrow tower.

Then he climbed up the monolithic fortress with the help of horse power. When the defender saw the posture of these enemy troops, he abandoned the monolithic fort and fled south.

There were originally five thousand cavalry left by Zhong Zhiming in Xiangguo City, but these five thousand people did not obey Li Xiaofei's orders. When Qian Yu's army approached Xiangguo, the leading general Lu Sheng led five thousand cavalry out of the city to fight.

Li Xiaofei and the 5,000 defenders he brought witnessed this one-sided battle on the city. Lu Sheng was one of the few people in the family who led troops. Although he was agile, he could not withstand the strength of the soldiers of the Qianyu Army.

, after ten rounds of fighting, Qian Yujun beat him down with his shield.

The Liang Jun cavalry were not afraid of death. Unfortunately, the swords in their hands could not penetrate the enemy's armor, and their strength was not as strong as the opponent. Often five or six Liang Jun were knocked off their horses by a Qian Yu Army soldier. The Liang Jun's five thousand cavalry persisted for one

Hours later, all died in battle.

Liang Jun on the city was so frightened that he lost his mind. Li Xiaofei knew that the city could no longer be defended, so he immediately led his men out of the west gate to escape.

As soon as he came out of the west gate, he was surrounded by another group of men and horses. Li Xiaofei drew his sword and moved forward. He saw that the person was Zhu Yaoshi: "Brother Zhu, why did you collude with foreigners and harm Daliang? You let Xuehua and Murong do this?"

Why do you behave yourself?"

Pharmacist Zhu smiled: "I, Pharmacist Zhu, have not taken refuge with foreigners. I just want to do justice for heaven because I can't survive. Look at the tens of thousands of people behind me. None of them rose up because they couldn't survive. Now I give them

After dividing the land, money and food, everyone has food to eat. But it is really not worth it for you to continue to work for that decadent court. Why not follow me and fight for the untouchables in the world to find a way to survive."

Li Xiaofei didn't answer, he patted his horse and was about to rush into the battle, but the lieutenants around him all pulled him back: "General Li, since you are old friends with him, why don't you find a way out for us?"

Before Li Xiaofei could react, several lieutenants pulled him off his horse and escorted him towards Pharmacist Zhu.

Li Xiaofei cursed: "I've treated you well with good food and drinks along the way, and I've sprinkled a lot of gold leaves for you, but today you're repaying kindness with hatred. You're really worse than a pig or a dog."

"Master Li is not kind to us, but we also need to survive. We used to be fine in Jinling, but now we are going to die. Who is willing to do it?"

"Master Li is so rich and he knows their coach. Isn't it a good idea to get out alive? We should make amends to Master Li when we get to Jinling."

Zhu Yaoshi laughed on his horse: "Xiao Fei, look at the generals of the Liang Kingdom. They are all greedy for life and afraid of death. What's the use of being a hero by yourself?"

Li Xiaofei closed his eyes: "I have nothing to say, remembering that we were brothers once, please give me a good time!"

Pharmacist Zhu dismounted and untied Li Xiaofei: "What are you talking about? But everyone is his own master. I will never kill my brothers in this life no matter what. I will sell you a favor today. You can go!"

Li Xiaofei opened his eyes and couldn't believe it. Zhu Yaoshi pointed at General Liang Jun who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "If I keep these generals, they will only waste food and grass, and killing them will be of no use. You go, I can do it next time."

I’m going to keep you!”

Li Xiaofei punched Zhu Yaoshi on the shoulder: "I will pay you back what I owe you, take care!"

Li Xiaofei retreated south with five thousand troops. As soon as he crossed the river, Li Xiaofei asked several deputy generals to lead the army back to Jinling and ran to Luoyang. Several deputy generals repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, but Li Xiaofei stayed far away from them: "If I go back

Jinling will definitely not end well, you go, I am the only one to blame for the fall of Xiang Kingdom!"

With these words, several lieutenants happily led the troops and continued southward.

Li Xiaofei returned to Luoyang and reported to Liu Jian what happened in Xiangguo. Liu Jian was shocked. After all, in Liang Jun's impression, the Black Flag Khanate's army could only draw a tie with Liang Jun at best. Now the Black Flag Khan

The country actually had an army that could equal one to ten, which was a big trouble for Liang.

Liu Jian immediately thought of his master Chen Hongyi in Yecheng, so he wrote a letter about the situation Li Xiaofei said and ordered someone to bring it to Chen Hongyi quickly so that Chen Hongyi could come up with countermeasures in advance.

The Black Banner Khanate here is unstoppable. According to Hu Gao's idea, he wants to cross the river and go directly south to Jinling. However, everyone is opposed to it because although the Qianyu Army has amazing combat power, it is not used to water at all. After the Liang Army retreated across the river, they also burned

All the boats were lost. Pajaqili and the generals felt that the lands in Hebei were suitable for grazing, and the people of the Black Banner Khanate were adaptable to living there. The summer in the south was too hot, and the water network was crisscrossed, so the Fire Dragon people were unwilling to go there. More importantly,
