Chapter 260 Contradictions
When Peng Lianggong learned that the entire army of 2,000 troops he sent out to rob food was wiped out, his first reaction was to not believe it: "How is it possible? There were only 800 people escorting food and grass, and we sent 2,000 people. How could the entire army be wiped out?" ?" Feng Dajun is not a soft-hearted man, he dared to attack their food and grass, just one word, die.
Jun Yuanbo, the second-in-command of the rebel army, said dissatisfiedly: "I said before that it is not appropriate to rob the Northwest Army's food and grass. We are not opponents at all." Jun Yuanbo believes that their biggest threat is not Ji Xuan, but Yun Qing. Yun Qing was afraid of even the fierce northern barbarians, if he wanted to attack them, it would not be easy. It's just that Peng Lianggong was so dazed by the victory that he couldn't listen to his persuasion, so he sent two thousand people to grab food and grass behind his back.
Peng Lianggong said: "I'm afraid of a ball. Yunqing is just boasted so much. If he is really capable, why can't he wipe out the barbarians in the north?"
Jun Yuanbo choked.
Peng Lianggong said: "Send another 5,000 troops to rob food." In fact, it is not that the rebels have no food at this time. It's just that Peng Lianggong felt that if he could grab this batch of grain, he could at least recruit another 30,000 to 50,000 horses. Only when there are many people can we fight against Ji Xuan and the imperial court.
Jun Yuanbo disagreed, and said: "We have already lost two thousand elite soldiers. If we lose another five thousand, what should we do if the imperial court sends troops over again?" Combat power is okay.
The two quarreled for a long time, but there was no result. Most of the people below support Jun Yuanbo. It was because Yunqing was too famous, and with Yunqing's 100,000 troops under his command, everyone still felt that it was better not to provoke Yunqing, at least not now.
Peng Lianggong held back his breath.
Knowing this, Fu Qingluo said to Yang Duoming, "Husband, let's get out of here!" She had already told Peng Lianggong about Yunqing's ability. I didn't expect this person to say such a thing. I didn't take her previous words to heart at all. There is no future to hang out with such a person.
Yang Duoming shook his head and said, "I can't leave for the time being." Peng Lianggong didn't achieve great things, and he already knew that. But if he wants to rely on Yun Qing and Mrs. Yun, he has to submit a nomination certificate anyway!
Fu Qingluo said: "Why?"
Yang Duoming intends to stay among the rebels until the time comes when Yun Qing calls him as an internal response. But it's very dangerous, because if Ji Xuan calls instead of Yunqing, he may die, so Yang Duoming wants Fu Qingluo to leave first.
Fu Qingluo said without thinking, "I don't want it."
Yang Duoming looked very firm, and said: "You have to leave even for the sake of the child. If you stay here, you and the child will be in danger at any time. You go to Yucheng first to find Mrs. Yun, and I will go there in a while I'm looking for you." Fu Qingluo made her own decision last time, using herself as bait to kill Bao Xiaofan. At that time Yang Duoming was very angry, the couple almost fell out, at this moment, Fu Qingluo fainted. The doctor saw it and found out that she was pregnant. After having a child, the two will reconcile.
Fu Qingluo was still unwilling.
Yang Duoming held Fu Qingluo's hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you and the child behind. I'll go find you as soon as the matter here is over."
Fu Qingluo was really reluctant to leave Yang Duoming, but Yang Duoming was right to worry. Now she is pregnant, unlike before, if there is a mistake, the child will be the first to be hurt. Fu Qingluo said: "Okay, then I'll wait for you in Yucheng, you should come and find me early."
Yang Duoming said: "Don't worry, I will definitely look for you."
While talking, a person came in from outside and said, "Master Xiao, Generalissimo, please come over." Peng Lianggong proclaimed himself Generalissimo, and Jun Yuanbo was proclaimed General by him.
If Yang Duoming hadn't dissuaded him, Peng Lianggong would have wanted to proclaim himself king.
Yang Duoming responded, and said to Fu Qingluo: "Clean up first, and I will send you away tomorrow morning." Now that things are going badly outside, if he is not forced, he really does not want to let his wife leave at this time .
Fu Qingluo nodded meekly and said, "Okay."
Peng Lianggong went to Yang Duoming for the matter just now. Yang Duoming didn't show his credit, so he wasn't qualified to attend the meeting just now. After Peng Lianggong first told Yang Duoming about the killing of the 2,000 troops he sent out, he said, "Junshi Xiao, how do you think I can persuade Laojun to agree to send troops to grab food?" Yang Duoming kept using The pseudonym Xiao Ming was used instead of his real name. Therefore, everyone has nothing to doubt.

Yang Duoming shook his head and said: "Marshal, I think General Bo Yuan is not unreasonable to be worried. Although Bao Xiaofan is dead, Ji Xuan is still alive. With Ji Xuan's temperament, he will definitely lead troops to attack us. If we are mobilizing troops to fight the Northwest Army, we will have insufficient troops." These soldiers and horses can still fight against the local army. When encountering the Northwest Army who had been at war with the Northern Captive Army as adults, they had no choice but to run away. But he also told Peng Lianggong before, but it's a pity that Peng Lianggong didn't take it to heart.
Peng Lianggong was quite convinced of Yang Duoming, and said: "Da Liu is my good brother. He was killed by them like this, but I can't avenge him..." From the beginning of the army to now, he has not suffered such a big loss. . Two thousand men and horses were lost to go in, and good brothers were also lost.
Yang Duoming said: "Remember this account. After dealing with Ji Xuan, I will settle the account with Yunqing." He had persuaded him not to send troops before, but Peng Lianggong was greedy for the more than 200,000 shi of grain and insisted on sending troops. Peng Lianggong should bear the main responsibility for the deaths of these two thousand people.
Everyone did not support him sending troops again, so Peng Lianggong no longer insisted: "Remember this blood debt first, there will always be a day when Yunqing will repay the principal with interest."
Yang Duoming took this opportunity to tell Peng Lianggong that he would send Fu Qingluo back to his hometown to raise a baby: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are in good health, and having them take care of them is good for both mother and child." Fu Qingluo's real identity, apart from a few of them, is rarely seen. Know. Even Yang Duoming's brothers didn't know much about Fu Qingluo's details. I just feel that Fu Qingluo is not a girl from a small family. No matter how much, I don't know.
Although Peng Lianggong was narrow-minded, he was not a lustful person, and he didn't have any thoughts about the gorgeous Fu Qingluo, so he nodded in agreement immediately. For him, it was Yang Duoming who was useful, not Fu Qingluo. The presence or absence of Fu Qingluo has nothing to do with him.
That night, the couple talked in the middle of the night. Before dawn the next day, Fu Qingluo left the rebel camp with her two maids.
Qiushuang asked Fu Qingluo: "Girl, are we really going back to Yucheng? With the master's temper, once we return to Yucheng, we will lose our freedom." The master might not kill the girl, But he would kill the child in the girl's womb.
Fu Qingluo said: "I won't go back to Yucheng." Going back to Yucheng is tantamount to throwing oneself into a trap. With his father's ruthless and indifferent temperament, he would definitely kill her and the child. Therefore, she will not go back to Yucheng directly.
Qiu Shuang was stunned, and asked, "Where can we go if we don't go back to Yucheng?" When I was in Yucheng, I felt that the barbarians of the North were extremely hateful, but after I came out, I realized that those horse thieves and bandits were no worse than the barbarians of the North. Where to go. Just the three of them, even if they have martial arts, they can't protect themselves outside. Not to mention, the girl is still pregnant with a child!
Fu Qingluo said: "Find a relatively hidden place to live for the time being, and wait for a while to talk about the rest." If Han Yuxi doesn't help her, but hands her over to her father and brother, wouldn't she and the child be dead. For the sake of the child in her womb, Fu Qingluo dared not take any risks.
Qiushuang thought it was a good idea, nodded and agreed, "Then let's find a remote and hidden village." We can discuss other matters after we settle down.
A few days after Fu Qingluo left, Yang Duoming got the news that Ji Xuan was gathering an army and was going to personally lead troops to encircle and suppress them.
The rebel general panicked when he heard that Ji Xuan had assembled an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress them. Peng Lianggong immediately called everyone together and said: "Last time we only had more than 8,000 soldiers, and we were able to annihilate Bao Xiaofan's 30,000 troops. This time we have more than 50,000 troops, and our troops are strong and well-versed in the terrain, so there is no need to be afraid of discipline." Xuan's one hundred thousand soldiers and horses."
At this time, Yang Duoming stood up and said: "One hundred thousand soldiers and horses is just news released by Ji Xuan himself. Whether there is such a number is still unknown. Moreover, Ji Xuan only knows how to search for people's fat and people's anointing these years, greedy for enjoyment , have never fought a war, and we needn't be afraid of him at all."
Jun Yuanbo is on Peng Lianggong's side this time, no matter what internal conflicts there are, they must be consistent externally. Jun Yuanbo asked: "Marshal, since Ji Xuan is coming soon, we must be ready to fight? Marshal, how do we fight this time?"
Peng Lianggong said: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's discuss it together." Successive victories made Peng Lianggong full of confidence, and he felt that he could win by himself without the help of others.
Yang Duoming didn't speak at the side.
But Jun Yuanbo asked, "Mr. Xiao, how do you think we should deal with this crisis?" Last time, it was Yang Duoming who helped to defeat those lackeys of the imperial court.
Yang Duoming didn't know how to lead troops to fight, but he knew how to incite people's hearts: "Ji Xuan killed more than 4,000 people pretending to be bandits. If we were defeated, he would not let any of us go." Yang Duoming meant very much. Simple, if you can't win, you have to be killed by Ji Xuan. Anyway, they are all dead, it is better to fight to the death than to be killed by Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan actually had a lot of complaints against the court, so he issued an imperial edict to lead troops to suppress the rebellion. There is no half of the military supplies and military pay, which means that he has to solve the counter-insurgency by himself. Of course, it's not that Ji Xuan has no money, it's just that he feels that asking him to solve it is tantamount to taking out his pocketbook, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. It's just that I haven't been able to confront the court for the time being, so I can only endure this tone.
Ji Zhu came over and said: "General, everything is ready." This war cannot be fought with empty words. Once you start a war, you are burning money.
Ji Xuan nodded and said: "Everything in the mansion will be left to you." Ji Zhu is his most loyal person, so he can rest assured that he will leave his back to Ji Zhu.
Ji Zhu said: "Master, don't worry, I will guard the mansion and wait for the master to return in triumph." Ji Zhu lived up to Ji Xuan's trust, not only took care of the mansion properly, but also helped Ji Xuan solve problems and collect information. (to be continued)
