Chapter 189 Infighting in the Rebels
It was already dawn and heavy rain was still falling!
Thousands of cavalry soldiers galloped around, continuing to search for traces of the enemy!
Although he had only been training for half a year, this cavalry was already very elite! Yue Fei chose the best soldiers to enter the cavalry! With the cooperation of thousands of troops and horses, any martial arts master would retreat!
"It seems that many people have escaped!" Kang An said after a while.
"These people in the martial arts world have too strong personal force, and it was dark at that time, and the rain was too heavy, so the imperial soldiers might not be able to surround them all! And with the two masters Lin Lingsu and Elder Wuqing, there, it would be even more difficult to stop them!" Yue Fei said.
"How is Your Majesty now?" Li Xianzhong asked with some concern.
"He is fine, he will not be at risk of life! But this time he fell into a coma, and the internal force in his body is very strange. These internal forces flow naturally and are impacting the acupoints in the whole body! Whether he can wake up can only depend on himself! I believe he should be able to wake up. Although his will is not the best in the world, he has experienced so many disasters, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary people! If he can wake up, will it be extremely good? I believe that he will encounter these disasters much less! People cannot be unlucky forever, and things will turn out to be bad luck. Too much bad luck will turn into good luck!" Wang Chongyang said.
"I hope Your Majesty will wake up soon!" said Li Xianzhong.
Li Xianzhong felt very guilty. This time, he learned that Li Yanxian was going to summon the leader of the rebel army, so he took Zhao Chen with him! If he hadn't taken Zhao Chen with him, there wouldn't be so many things!
"General Li, you surrender to Your Majesty, we will be colleagues in the future! I have sent someone to notify General Zhao Zhe of the Jingyuan Army and General Liu Qi of the Huanqing Army that they will transport food, grass, weapons, etc. to northern Shaanxi soon. And they will cooperate with you to defeat Li Yanxian first, and then defeat the Jin soldiers, and completely control northern Shaanxi!" Yue Fei said.
Yue Fei himself wants to protect Tongguan, which is extremely important and must not be taken away by the Jin soldiers again! In fact, in the past six months, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongwang have attacked Tongguan many times, but they have been blocked! This time Yue Fei came out to help Zhao Chen temporarily, and he must return as soon as possible!
"Okay, I'll wait for the arrival of the two generals Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi!" said Li Xianzhong.
"I will leave first! Master Wang, your Majesty will be handed over to you. You must save Your Majesty!" Yue Fei looked at Wang Chongyang and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will not have any problems!" Wang Chongyang said.
Not long after, Yue Fei left with the cavalry, but more than a thousand people still escorted Wang Chongyang and Zhao Chen headed towards Dasan Pass in the south! As for Li Xianzhong, he also began to return to his camp!
*******
It was July in a blink of an eye, and it had been a month since the last rebel leader gathering!
In the past month, the food, grass and weapons from Hanzhong have been shipped to Li Xianzhong one after another!
As for Li Yanxian in Yan'an Prefecture, there is still a lack of food, grass and weapons here! Northern Shaanxi is a barren land, and even in modern times, it is very barren, let alone in ancient times! The rebels mainly rely on robbing Jin soldiers to obtain food, grass and weapons, and sometimes even robbing ordinary people when they are helpless! However, since the Battle of Guan and Shaanxi half a year ago, the Jin soldiers in northern Shaanxi knew that the situation was not good, and they have been hiding in the city for most of the past six months. Therefore, it is even more difficult for the rebels to obtain food, grass and grass from Jin soldiers! This is also one of the reasons why the rebel leaders such as Li Yanxian and Li Xianzhong tried their best to gain a backer!
At this moment, in a large area of mountain villages south of Yan'an Prefecture, Li Yanxian is here!
In addition to Li Yanxian, there are more than ten rebel leaders here! Li Yanxian is discussing food, grass and weapons with these rebel leaders!
"In the past month, our food and grass have become less and less! It was the time when the wheat was ripe, so we could 'borrow grain' from the people, but the Jurchens' 'borrow grain' this time was faster than ours! There were no few wheat around the entire Yan'an Prefecture left us! If this continued, our son would have no food to eat! At most one or two months, we would have to be short of food! At that time, people were in chaos and we could not control the army!" Li Yanxian said.
The so-called "borrowing grain" is to steal grain from the people, but these green forest heroes have compiled a elegant name to "borrowing grain" themselves!
"Brother, we don't have food and grass, so there is a lot of food and grass there! Li Shifu defected to Emperor Xuanwu, and Emperor Xuanwu transported the food and grass continuously! It's really unhappy to think about it. We also defected to Emperor Jianyan, but Emperor Jianyan did not transport the food and grass to us either!" A rebel leader stood up and said.
The leader of the rebel army is called Shaoyun, and he is also the most powerful rebel army in the rebel army! He and Li Yanxian are sworn brothers, but at this moment he feels a little dissatisfied with Li Yanxian's resignation to Zhao Gou!
"Emperor Jianyan is in Jiangnan, and it is too difficult to transport food! Alas, I originally wanted to convince Li Shifu to let Li Shifu join me to join Emperor Jianyan! If Li Shifu also joins Emperor Jianyan, our thirty-six rebels can go south to capture Chang'an City and Tongguan. At that time, Emperor Jianyan's food and grass can be transported here! Lord Zongze is in Kaifeng Prefecture, and he can find a way to transport food and grass! Unfortunately, Li Shifu, a kind-hearted thing, actually defected to Emperor Xuanwu regardless of his brotherhood! He deserves to die. If I catch him, I will definitely tear him to pieces!" Li Yanxian said.
"Brother, what should we do now? Without food, we can't survive!" Another leader of the rebel army said.
"I asked you to come, it was just a matter of discussion! You all think about it, what good will there be!" Li Yanxian said.
"Brother, I think this is possible! Didn't Li Shifu get a lot of food and grass from Emperor Xuanwu? He is also a member of the thirty-six rebels no matter what. Although we have a quarrel, he is still our brother! Let's ask him to borrow food, but I don't believe him and will not give it to him!" Shao Yun, who was speaking before, said.
"He is heartless and afraid he won't lend us food!" Li Yanxian shook his head and said.
"We can give it a try!" Shao Yun said.
"He is not a fool! Now he belongs to Emperor Xuanwu, and we belong to Emperor Jianyan! Emperor Xuanwu and Emperor Jianyan have always been in disagreement, and sooner or later there will be a big war! We are enemies now, how could he lend us food?" Li Yanxian said.
"If this is the case, we have to rob the food!" Shao Yun said.
"Graining grain? Are you snatching grain from the Jin soldiers? That is to break through the prefecture. We don't have this strength!" Li Yanxian said.
After all, they are all "rebels", mainly fighting guerrilla warfare. Unless they encounter a small group of Jin soldiers, they will go up and really attack the prefecture. They do not have the strength!
"Brother, I mean we rob food from Li Shifu! Li Shifu ignored his brotherly loyalty. When you have already defected to Emperor Jianyan, he still has to defect to the incompetent Emperor Xuanwu. It is really a mess! Now he has food, and we don't have food, so he is unwilling to lend us food, making it more and more messy! Let's rob his food and rob his food. Wouldn't we have food?" Shaoyun said.
"This..." Li Yanxian frowned slightly, and began to think about it in his heart.
"Brother, twenty of the thirty-six rebels surrendered to us! He only had more than ten of them, and his strength was not as good as ours! There was no problem for us to grab grain from them!" Shao Yun said.
Originally, there were only fifteen armies who surrendered to Li Yanxian, but in this month, Li Yanxian sent people to contact the remaining rebel leaders. Now there are five more rebels who surrendered to Li Yanxian, so Li Yanxian's strength has increased greatly! As for Li Xianzhong, there are still only twelve rebels in his hands! Moreover, these twelve rebels were scattered all over the place, and now Li Xianzhong has gathered the twelve rebels to prepare for unified training and transformed into regular soldiers in the future!
"Okay! That's it! Immediately send someone to notify the leaders of various rebels to gather twenty rebels. This time we are not borrowing food, but destroying Li Shifu's heartless thing!" Li Yanxian said coldly.
*******
At this moment, in Baoanzhou, hundreds of miles west of Yan'an Prefecture, there is yellow sand rolling here!
The environment of the loess high slope is extremely harsh, and sandstorms scraped from the west often hit here! There are high and low gullies everywhere, a hundred miles west of Bao'anzhou City, which is where Li Xianzhong's territory is!
The twelve rebels have gathered here by him. The rebel leaders trained the minions every day! However, these rebels are not so much an army, but rather an army, they are between the army and bandits! They used to be ordinary farmers, but only rose up when the Jin soldiers invaded. They had basically no training on weekdays, and occasionally only some people with high-quality martial arts skills were recruited to teach their skills! Now they are asked to train every day, and those ordinary minions can't bear it at all. Many people have to lie down to rest after half an hour of training. The rebel leaders do not restrain them and let them mess around there! Anyway, the rebel soldiers have always been like this, and they are already used to it!
"After all, the rebel army is a rebel army, which is not as good as a regular army! The 120,000 troops under my command are afraid that even the thousands of cavalry under Yue Fei's hands could not defeat! The reason why Your Majesty recruited us was mainly because we were afraid that we would cause trouble for them in northern Shaanxi. In fact, Your Majesty does not expect us to defeat the Jin soldiers! In the past two years, we have never fought head-on with the Jin soldiers, and we are not opponents of the Jin soldiers at all! However, I, Li Xianzhong, will never be willing to be the leader of the rebel army. I will truly train my troops into elite soldiers. At that time, I will not belong to the regular troops under Your Majesty! This infantry exercise, I must study hard, and after defeating Li Yanxian, I will train the army well! The training method here is too strict. If you use this method to train the army now, these rebel soldiers will be dissatisfied and will be very unfavorable to the fight between me and Li Yanxian!"
"The rebel army lacks food and grass. I can get food and grass from His Majesty, but Li Yanxian has no other way! I think Li Yanxian will not be able to bear it at most for one or two months. He either asks someone for food and grass from me, or attacks me directly! Humph, Li Yanxian, I used to respect you as the leader, but because you were older, raised early, and have high prestige. In fact, your ability is far inferior to me, Li Xianzhong! If you come, you will have a dead end! This Baoanzhou is not only here, but also here for the Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army. Do you dare to come?"
"Your Majesty was seriously injured that day. It's been a month since you were there. I don't know what the news is!"
"Lin Lingsu, Wuqing, and those martial arts people in Jiangnan, and the monks from Shaolin Temple should have left northern Shaanxi now! These people are so ruthless that they will settle the score with them in the future!"
He stood there thinking about things, and at this moment someone pushed the door open and came in outside!
"Brother, something is wrong!" A 14 or 15-year-old boy walked in, but the boy's face was covered in dust, as if he was passing by!
He looked a bit similar to Li Xianzhong. This person was Li Xianzhong's cousin Li Shihong. At the beginning, the only two of them in the Li family escaped!
"What happened? Did Li Yanxian set out? Are the rebels under his command going to attack us?" Li Xianzhong said lightly.
"How do you know, brother?" Li Shihong stayed there, unable to believe it.
