"Shopkeeper Cheng, it's getting late, so why not stay for the night? Hao dared to host Zuo Junmen tonight and invite the shopkeeper?" Hao Xiaozhong said.

Cheng Liangru smiled and said, "Cheng is busy with business, so he leaves first and visits Zuojunmen another day."

"Okay, it's better to obey your orders than respect. Manager Cheng please go slowly." Hao Xiaozhong made a gesture of invitation.

Watching Cheng Liangjin's fleet sailing on the lake when he was young, Hao Xiaozhong felt very moved. He also knew that there were people like Zhanggui Cheng who were not good at eating bad wine and crude food in his army? Zhanggui Cheng is the richest man in Huai'an, rich enough to rival a country. He has his mansion in Huai'an and Yangzhou. His wife and concubines are full of beautiful concubines at home. What kind of delicacies are there for Zhanggui Cheng? He heard that he only eats sheep's lips and various infamous delicacies. Even Zuo Liangyu has never seen him.

For those who are like Cheng Liangji, the foods in Hao Xiaozhong's army are no different from pig food.

"Mr. Qian, are we going back now?" a soldier stepped forward and asked.

"That's a big deal!" Hao Xiaozhong shouted, "It's so easy to come out, just go back like this? Let's spend the night here tonight, and go back tomorrow morning. You guys, go to the nearby village to find a few girls! Brothers, please have fun tonight!"

"But Mr. Qian," the soldier hesitated for a moment, "we have already caught the beautiful little girls near Shucheng, Luzhou, and the rest are all crooked."

"Baste!" Hao Xiaozhong shouted, "There must be some of us who will hide when we come. You can change into the clothes of the people and go to the neighborhood to find them, so that they will not hide. If you find them, immediately show your waist card and take the people away! If Yu refuses to follow, she will kill her family for the crime of robbery!"

"It's still Mr. Qian's wisdom!" The soldier gave a thumbs up.

"Go and do it!"

"promise!"

It was getting dark, and the lights were bright in Hao Xiaozhong's central army camp. Hao Xiaozhong and several officers were drinking and having fun, and each of them was hugging a young woman who had been stolen from somewhere.

Hao Qizhong was in a very good mood. This time, he not only bartered and exchanged for the food that Zuo Liangyu's army urgently needed, but also received a kickback of 2,000 taels of silver from Cheng Liangjin.

"Little beauty, follow me to drink spicy food, don't frown, it's like my parents are dead!" Hao Xiaozhong pinched the woman hard.

The girl was in pain, but she didn't dare to shout. She could only hold back her tears and force herself to look happy, allowing Hao Xiaozhong's dirty hands to touch her body.

Hao Xiaozhong and several officers ate and drank in the central army's tent, and drank one bowl after another. Someone kindly reminded him: "Sir, let's drink less. If a thief comes to rob the grain and something happens, we will not be able to bear the blame."

"That's a big deal!" Hao Xiaozhong, who was drinking a little too much, roared with his neck, "I have two thousand elite soldiers. Who is the thief who is not open to the eyes and dares to come and trouble me?"

While talking, a noise suddenly sounded outside.

Hao Xiaozhong stood up and shouted outside: "Who is making noise? How dare you disturb me?"

A soldier outside rushed over and crawled: "Sir, sir! The big thing is wrong! The thieves are coming! There are so many thieves!"

"What?" Hao Xiaozhong shouted, "Come on, put on my clothes, I'm going to kill the thief!"

Hao Xiaozhong's camp was already in a mess. Zhang Dingguo's old camp soldiers, wearing mandarin duck battle jackets and goose yellow and red tassel hats, were rushing left and right in Hao Xiaozhong's camp. Zhang Dingguo, wearing white helmets and white armor, took the lead, and the tents were knocked over one after another. The left soldiers who ran out of the tent were picked up by Zhang Dingguo's company. The old camp soldiers behind them also fought against ten, and they would chop them as soon as they saw them.

The soldiers of the Zuo family didn't even have time to put on their armor, and rushed out of the tent in panic. As a result, a row of arrows fell in the air, and all the soldiers of the Zuo family who were not wearing armor fell down.

When Zhang Dingguo's old camp soldiers came to him, the Zuo family army could not resist them at all. They were basically killed by someone in one encounter or shot.

"Kill the dog!" Zhang Dingguo waved his spear and shouted, "As long as the enemy he encountered, there would be no enemy in one direction. There were more than ten personal soldiers on both sides, riding horses and following closely, but more than thirty cavalry, like an iron armored chariot advancing in the camp, followed by elite old camp infantry.

Zhang Dingguo had already seen the brightly lit central army tent, so he rode his horse and rushed towards Hao Xiaozhong's central army tent.

Hao Xiaozhong had just put on his armor and walked out of the tent with a spear, but he saw dozens of cavalry galloping towards him. Hao Xiaozhong quickly stabbed with a spear, and the personal soldiers behind him also pointed at the rushing cavalry of Zhang Dingguo.

"Open!" Before Zhang Dingguo could rush into the opponent's spear formation, he waved the white wax spear in his hand and swung a row of left army's spears. The old battalion cavalry behind took out the javelins, and with the help of the rushing horses, a row of javelins threw at Hao Feizhong and the others.

Zhang Wenxiu threw a javelin, which pierced into a Left Army's chest. The spearhead broke through the armor and penetrated deeply into the chest. Then the left soldier fell backwards, and the gun rod pierced on his body still shaking.

A row of javelins flew out, and dozens of left-wing soldiers were nailed to the ground.

Zhang Dingguo, who was wearing a white helmet and white armor, came to Hao Xiaozhong in an instant like a white lightning. When he saw a guy wearing a mountain armor and a six-petal steep red tassel helmet, he saw that his armor was excellent, he knew that the guy must be the leading officer. So Zhang Dingguo shot him like lightning.

Hao Xiaozhong was storming with a spear, but Zhang Dingguo suddenly swung his spear. Then the white wax rod's gun rod was used as a soft stick and hit Hao Xiaozhong hard, knocking him backwards. Before Hao Xiaozhong got up from the ground, Zhang Dingguo had already ridden his horse and trampled past him. Hao Xiaozhong, the future general of the green camp, was killed in advance, and he never had the chance to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to massacre the Han people.

The main general was killed, and the remaining soldiers of the Zuo family had long lost their fighting spirit, and gave up resistance, turned around and ran away. Zhang Dingguo led his troops to follow him, chasing him all the way, killing the Zuo army corpses everywhere.

More than two thousand officers and soldiers of the Zuo family were killed and scattered, and 100,000 stones of food fell into the hands of Zhang Dingguo. Eleven young women who were captured by Hao Xiaozhong were also rescued.

"Girl, where is your home? We'll send you home." After all, Zhang Dingguo was just a 17-year-old boy. How could he know that if such a poor girl goes back, she will sooner or later she will not be able to survive under the eyes of her family and her tribe members, and eventually she will find a short-term view.

"General, we won't leave anymore. We are willing to follow the general back." The rescued women knelt on the ground one after another.

Zhang Dingguo smiled bitterly: "Girl, we are thieves. If you follow us, you will have no place to live and may not be alive at any time."

"Sisters, since the general refuses to take us in, we will die when we go back, so it's better to stop it." A woman shouted. The other ten women responded decisively, and they jumped into the lake one by one without hesitation.

Zhang Dingguo quickly ordered the rescue of people. In a blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers jumped into the water and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. The woman who committed suicide was immediately rescued.

"General, how should we send back the food we robbed? If we walk from here, we will inevitably pass by the thief general of Shucheng." Zhang Wenxiu came up and asked.

"Ask those boatmen, this is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, with rivers crisscrossing, and there is always a place to go back." Zhang Dingguo asked the boatmen to ask.

Just now, when Zhang Dingguo led his troops to attack the camp, many boatmen were scared away. Fortunately, they ran not far away, and soon the people of Zhang Dingguo took back most of the fleeing boatmen.

Zhang Dingguo asked the boatman: "Can there be waterways not passing through Shucheng, and can cities such as Luzhou enter the mountainous areas?"

The boatman replied, "There is no way to go."
