Chapter 12 News

With the help of the second brother, Ying Yi finally found the residence of Sun Xiucai.

He was actually a little worried that Sun Xiucai could not enter Ye County. Although Sun Xiucai was a scholar, he was not omnipotent after all. If he was turned away from the city, with Sun Xiucai's thin arms and legs, he would probably be cold after a few days.

When he knocked on the door, a familiar voice from Xiucai Sun came from inside: "Who is that?"

Ying Yi said: "It's me, Sun Xiucai."

He heard a chaotic situation inside. As soon as the door opened, Sun Xiucai came out in his robe and showed a surprised face: "Brother Ying!"

The little brother watched from the side and saw that Ying Yi was indeed an acquaintance of Sun Xiucai, so he said, "Those guests are welcome, and the young man will leave now."

Sun Xiucai waved his hand to the second brother, and welcomed Ying Yi and Erniu in.

Close the door and brighten the fire in the oil lamp, and the three of them sat down around the round table.

"Erniu is here too." Sun Xiucai breathed out: "It seems that Brother Ying'er's affairs are half done."

Erniu said: "Why is it half?"

"In the afternoon, a team of thieves passed outside the city and showed off their power. Some people think that the thief head in the lead is the tiger. So I said that Brother Ying was halfway through, and he must have rescued the villagers, but he could not kill a tiger and the beast."

Ying Yi couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Scholars are indeed scholars. They may not have integrity, and may be afraid of death. However, scholars with fame and fortune are also a little smart.

He nodded: "I was unable to kill a tiger."

Erniu also understood and immediately told the situation that night. Although he was confused, he also understood Sun Xiucai.

Sun Xiucai sighed: "Brother Ying is pitying the lives of the villagers, otherwise a tiger will die."

He was a little depressed again: "It's just a pity for sister-in-law Zhang and the others...hey, this world..."

Ying Yi couldn't help but sigh, and then cheered up and said, "I must kill a tiger. Sun Xiucai, have you been in Ye County these days? Have you heard of any news? Now I have missed the best opportunity to kill a tiger. He has already gone to Kaifeng and will meet with the thieves soon. It's hard to find him if you have hundreds of thousands of thieves. I thought about your earlier proposal, and I'm afraid I really have to borrow the hands of officers and soldiers."

Sun Xiucai immediately became happy: "That's right. Brother Ying, you are powerful, but you are alone and alone. How can you compare to the army? These days, I have visited several classmates in the county town and received some news."

Ying Yi quickly cheered up and listened with his ears.

Sun Xiucai said: "The three-sided governor Wang Qiaonian was defeated in Xiangcheng in February and was killed by the rebels. The court raised Sun Baigu again and ordered the governors to suppress the bandits to rescue the siege. He also appointed Wang Qiaonian as the governor of the three-sided governor. Hou Xun was raised again and supervised the military affairs of the seven towns in Baoding, and controlled Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Wenyue and other troops to jointly rescue Kaifeng."

"Who is Sun Baigu?"

Hou Xun Yingyi vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the old man from Hou Fangyu, one of the four young masters. As for how to remember Hou Fangyu, it was because of Li Xiangjun and the eight beauties of Qinhuai. It was much bigger than that of civil servants and military generals in a few hundred years. But Sun Baigu Yingyi didn't know that he could act as the governor of the three sides, and Sun Baigu must be a famous figure in history.

"Sun Baigu is Sun Chuanting, named Baigu." Sun Xiucai said: "I was a family with me five hundred years ago."

"Sun Chuanting!" Ying Yi suddenly realized.

The famous ministers and generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Ying Yi, who remembered the most, was the ones who were not only Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, but Sun Chuanting. This man was very capable, but the current affairs were difficult, and in the end he could not help but die in the battle like Lu Xiangsheng.

It seems that in a certain battle to clear Kaifeng, he won first and then lost, was implicated by friendly forces, and finally died.

"Sun Chuanting..." Ying Yi thought carefully.

The leaders of the late Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu and Hou Xun, were all bullshits. Although Sun Chuanting was inevitably defeated, he was a fight after all. He had to borrow power, and only from Sun Chuanting could he borrow power. In other places, let alone borrow power, it would be considered God's blessing if he was not cheated to death.

"Where are Sun Chuanting's troops now?"

Ying Yi asked hurriedly.

"When Sun Baigu rose again, Wang Qiaonian was not dead. Now he has taken Wang Qiaonian as the governor of the three sides, and he should have gone to Guanzhong to gather troops."

"Is Guanzhong..."

Ying Yi looked at him and thought: "Henan is not far from Guanzhong, right?"

"Go westward and pass Luoyang, Tongguanwei is the territory of Guanzhong." Sun Xiucai said: "It's only a few hundred miles."

"Oh..." Ying Yi thought a lot for a moment.

Sun Chuanting had just resurrected and acted as the governor of the three sides. It took several months to gather troops in Guanzhong. But Ying Yi couldn't wait. Whenever he thought of the tragic situation of Brother Zhang's family of three, Ying Yi was extremely furious and wanted to catch a tiger and cut him into pieces.

But now a tiger has entered Kaifeng and joined the thief. With Ying Yi's own strength, let alone the others, it is difficult to find a tiger just like climbing to the sky. Although Ying Yi's body increased again after attacking and killing a tiger, he still had no absolute confidence.

Sun Xiucai understood, thought for a while, and said, "The imperial court's troops were either not gathering yet, or they were licking their wounds after the defeat. Brother Ying wanted to kill a tiger, and I'm afraid he had to wait."

He then talked about what happened in the past few months, such as how Wang Qiaonian was defeated, such as Zuo Liangyu, Yang Wenyue had collapsed to Xiangyang to rest, Hou Xun was still in Hebei, etc.

Listening to this, Ying Yi smiled angrily.

It turned out that the trespasses ravaged Henan last year, and the court had already dispatched troops. Huguang soldiers, Baoding soldiers, Shaanxi soldiers, besieged from the south, north and west. Huguang soldiers were led by Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue in Baoding, and Wang Qiaonian in Baoding. The three sides surrounded him. The Huguang soldiers led by Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue's Baoding soldiers were besieged by the treacherous soldiers in Xiangcheng. Wang Qiaonian hurriedly raised troops to rescue him. Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu was a ungrateful wolf. Wang Qiaonian saved him, and he ran away, shaking the morale of the army, causing Wang Qiaonian to be defeated and died in battle, and he himself escaped.

As soon as he escaped, the strategy of encirclement failed this time.

Zuo Liangyu, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, broke the strategy and killed a three-sided governor, but was not punished.

Later, Chongzhen initiated Hou Xun because Hou Xun and Zuo Liangyu had old age.

It can be seen how corrupt the Ming Dynasty has been.

Ying Yi listened to Sun Xiucai's sighs, and there was a faint sadness in his speechlessness.

"So, if you want to kill a tiger, you can only wait?"

Ying Yi was still a little unwilling to accept it.

"Only wait." Sun Xiucai said: "A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for it to move. Brother Ying, I know you are very powerful, but you can't be reckless."

Erniu nodded quickly.

Ying Yi thought about it and had to sigh, "Okay."

Then he said, "Scholar, I will place the rescued villagers in Fangcheng Mountain. I will go to Guanzhong tomorrow to see if I can meet Sun Chuanting and Supervisor Sun. You will go back with Erniu and take good care of the villagers. You are a scholar and you always know more than them. There is water source and land in the valley. You are in charge of land reclamation. If you can grow grain, you cannot wait for death."

When Sun Xiucai heard this, he nodded first, and then said, "It's probably not easy to meet Sun Chuanting."

Ying Yi was a white man, while Sun Chuanting was the governor of the three sides, so he could see him just by saying that he could see him.
