In a blink of an eye, more than two months had passed. To the surprise of Huan Zhen and others, the official army did not attack. It was because Du Dawei fled back in a panic and only wanted to hide his mistakes and reported to his immediate superior that Xiao Wutai was powerful, with a total of seven or eight thousand people. When the boss heard this, he was shocked and did not dare to dedicate himself. He had to write a memorial to report to his subordinate Wanquandushi, who reported to the court again. Wei Yi was in power again, and the government was abolished. It was three months later when he actually sent a large army to fight and suppress the enemy.

Love. During this period, Guotian Army (because Hui Dengxiang nicknamed Guotianxing, the army's name was called Guotian Army, which was quite nice, right!) went out to harass the surrounding prefectures and counties everywhere. Huan Zhen adhered to the policy of sparrow battle and ran away. Guotian Army was trained by Huan Zhen to run mountains and train, and was very physically strong and could run away. However, the official army was slow to move and often could only chase them behind their butts and sighed. There were also a small number of garrison troops trying to attack, and they all tried to defend Huan Zhen and fought back.

As the momentum continues to grow, the poor people who cannot survive around often bring their families to join, as well as some small thieves, and even a few fleeing officials joined the gang, saying that the treatment of the Guotian Army is much better than that of the official army. Because Huan Zhen attaches great importance to logistics support, his family is full of food, and the soldiers paid enough money before going to war. Anyway, they are all robbed, and they are not heartbroken after spending. Compared to the fact that the official army has not been able to continue three meals, they are even more defeated.

The food and wages were deducted from heaven and earth. Huan Zhen refused everyone and accepted them all. The army of Guotian was like a snowball. From the uprising in July to September, although Du Dawei's deceitful words at that time were not realized, half of them: the total number exceeded 5,000, and his direct combat power was more than 3,500. Hui Deng gave in several times, but Huan Zhen never refused to be the general. Therefore, everyone in the army was only called "military advisor".

The army expanded, and when the two levels of Shiwu were obviously unable to meet the needs when they first started, Huan Zhen used the four-level organization of the Qi family army to remove the "official" level. Huiden was called the general, the highest commander of the five battalions on the left, right, front, back, and middle. Each battalion was under the command of four posts A, B, B, and D. Each post was under the jurisdiction of five teams with left, right, front, back, and middle. Each team had about thirty-five people, and each team had a range of up and down, and its non-combats were not included in the organization. Because of the difficulty in supplying horses, only two horses and military posts were organized, and there were two horses and one horse. The rest were all infantry. Among the five battalions, the rear battalion was a baggage military battalion with the smallest number, with less than five hundred people. The battalion officials said to command, the sentry officials said to command, the team officials called the general flag, and they were still recommended layer by layer, each with a military flag, which facilitated the identification during combat.

With a large population, robbery alone cannot satisfy the supply. Huan Zhen opened wasteland at the foot of Xiaowutai Mountain to farm, saying that whoever opens up land will belong to his family. The soldiers' families are very happy, and hundreds of people go into battle together. Although they are all old women, they should not be underestimated. The soldiers also farm in addition to training.

In terms of training, Huan Zhen thought that his physical training of running mountain roads and palm pressure was still very effective, so he continued to promote it. Later, he added sandbags when running, and the general was able to carry the heaviest running process, and the general gave silver rewards in public. Silver is a trivial matter, and it is truly attractive to be able to give awards by the idol Zhu Tianxing in everyone's hearts. Therefore, everyone is competing to increase the weight of the sandbags, and even those who are overwhelmed and shocked, and Huan Zhen also explicitly prohibits those who are overestimating their abilities from increasing their stakes.

Liu Heihu was originally skilled in martial arts and had a very similar temperament to Huidenxiang. Soon he became the chief guard of Huidenxiang and led a team. For a similar guard, Huidenxiang originally wanted to equip Huan Zhen with one, but he couldn't stand it, following a group of people everywhere he went, and there was no space at all. After rejecting it many times, Huidenxiang stopped mentioning it. Fu Dingchen died once, and seemed to have a great enlightenment. He abandoned his original name and changed it to Fu Shan. Hui Daochang was about to suffer from miasma in prison, and soon became ill and died after half a month. Huidenxiang and his son met again, and they were about to die. He cried without mentioning it.

In his spare time, Huan Zhen either chatted with Fu Shan (will be called Fu Shan later), or practiced martial arts from Hui Dengxiang and Liu Heihu. It was said that he was practicing martial arts, but with Huan Zhen's physique, he only learned a few sets of boxing to strengthen the body. When it comes to moving, it was useless. Fu Shan gave Huan Zhen a lot of surprises. It turned out that although he was young, he was very fond of talking about military affairs and had a lot of research on the theory of using military forces to fight, which reminded Huan Zhen of the Ming Dynasty's history to Yuan Chonghuan.

His evaluation: "He is generous and courageous and good at talking about military affairs. When he retired from the old school, he always discusses the affairs of the frontier, knows the situation of the obstacles, and promises himself." Fu Shan is still young now, so he naturally cannot compare with the famous commander Yuan, who has been famous for his eternal years. However, if he has the opportunity to train on the battlefield, he cannot become a famous general in the generation. Thinking of the Ming Dynasty system, he led the army with civil officials and a slanderous article, he was burying the way for many generals to enter, and he couldn't help but sigh.

But it was the eighth day of the ninth month, and it was the Double Ninth Festival tomorrow. The Xiaowutai Mountain was lively and everyone was preparing for the Altitude Festival. Fortunately, it was the mountain that was right away, so it was very easy to find a place to climb. On duty on the mountain, there should have been four shifts a day and night, but on this day, Huiding Xiang specially arranged eight shifts so that everyone had the opportunity to celebrate the festival. Huan Zhen was idle, so he went to Fushan to go out for a trip. The two of them were talking nonsense, and walked around, and before they knew it, they actually walked to the mountain pass. From afar, they saw several sentries guarding there. Huan Zhen was unwilling to disturb him. Just as he was about to ask Fushan to retreat on the same road, he heard a noise coming from the front that the sentry was quarreling with two people from somewhere.

Huan Zhen ran forward without caring about thirty-one, stopped both sides, and asked the sentry leader, "What's your name? What part of it?" The sentry recognized Huan Zhen and immediately bowed and said, "The young general is Xue Bin, the flag of the left armored sentry squadron." It turned out that Hui Dengzhang was poor brothers in the army, so he explicitly prohibited his subordinates from kneeling when they saw their superiors, and stipulated that the subordinates would bow and hold their fists, and the superiors nodded and returned the salute. Huan Zhen nodded and asked, "Why

So noisy?" Xue Bin said, "Reported to the military advisor, these two men were sneaking and peeking outside my mountain gate. The young general stepped forward to interrogate, but there was an accent from the outside. The young general became suspicious and wanted to take him back to the mountain to see the general. The young general turned sharp swords and the young general had to take him down. It was undoubtedly a spy from the official army." Huan Zhen was shocked. When he looked at the two men, he saw that they were all dressed as peasants, but he couldn't see them like spies from the official army. Two sharp knives were thrown underground, thinking that they were used by those two.

One shouted, "This king, the younger brothers are just lost and walked here by mistake. Please be careful!" Fu Shan's face changed slightly, he walked forward with a smile, and said to the man, "Did you come from northern Shaanxi?" His accent was very similar to that man. The man's face turned pale and he denied it repeatedly. The other sneered and said, "Brother, since he has seen through it, there is no need to pretend." But he also had a northern Shaanxi accent and said, "We are from Baishui, my name is Wang Dazhu, this is my brother Wang Daliang

.We are here to see your leader Tianxing after the order of the second master of Wang Er," Huan Zhen broke out in his heart: Wang Er, who is the first person in the peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty, was the Wang Er who killed officials and rebelled in Baishui County, Shaanxi. According to the history he knew, Wang Erzao's reaction should be until March next year, why did he have so many six months in advance? It is said that he occupied mountains in Shanxi, but only a few thousand soldiers and horses, so the impact should not be so great. Could it be that something happened?

Seeing Huan Zhen pondering and saying nothing, Wang Dazhu thought he would not take Wang Er in his eyes, and said angrily: "You are so embarrassed. Have you never heard of Wang Er Master's name?" Xue Bin scolded: "This is a military advisor, you dare to be so rude!" Wang Dazhu was stunned, looked Huan Zhen up and down, his nostrils were facing the sky, and smiled contemptuously: "I told him what kind of military advisor of the Tianjun army is. It turned out to be such a white-faced scholar." Huan Zhen laughed instead of anger and said, "So what?" He said to Xue Bin: "I will take these two to see the general and say I will arrive later." Xue Bin agreed, took out two black cloth from his arms, and ignored the struggle of the Dazhu and Daliang, blindfolded the two of them and pushed them towards the mountain.

Huan Zhen was inconvenient to leave, so he patrolled around him and confirmed that there were no one else. Then he instructed the left-behind sentry to be alert and never mention it after turning around with Fu Shan.

When he arrived at the village, he heard that Hui Dengxiang was invited to use a mat in Wuma Hall and rushed directly. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the noise and the two brothers of Dazhu and Daliang were having fun. Huan Zhen was very strict in his military administration. If the soldiers were not on the offside, they would never be allowed to drink. Even if they had a drink on the offside, they would never be allowed to play. Therefore, the soldiers in the Guotian Army frowned when they saw the two of them whispering. Liu Heihu's face turned blue. He was a good person by nature. Since he became the captain of Hui Dengxiang's guard, he had banned Huan Zhen's stomach. His stomach was itchy at all times. Seeing others drinking so happily, how could he not get angry?

Huideng saw Huan Zhen coming in, and turned his eyes at him, then accused the Wang brothers of leaving the table. The two were eating and drinking happily, so they didn't care whether Huideng would leave. Huan Zhen waited for him to go out and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" Huideng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "Brother, look." Huan Zhen took it and opened it, but it was written by Wang Er. The general idea was to tell Huideng about the love between the countryside. Then he said that he had killed the county magistrate and pulled the rod to cause trouble, asking Huideng to lead his troops to join. Huan Zhen looked at it and sneered, "What a light word! Why is Wang Er so unaware of the matter? My Xiaowutai is more than a thousand miles away from Baishui. How can I join? Besides, what's more?

, If the Heavenly Army has 3,500 people, it is our own brothers who have accumulated it bit by bit. How can we be with others?" In fact, Huan Zhen was unwilling to join Wang Er, and he had another plan in his heart. He knew that in the future historical development, even if the peasant army gained power for a while, it would not be a long-term plan. Hui Dengxiang hesitated and said, "Although that is the case, the poor people in the world are always one family..." Huan Zhen sneered: "Look at the two people inside, can they achieve great things? Second brother, if you just want to occupy the mountain and become king, drink and eat meat, then go to Wang Erke. These little things don't need to be your brother to help you."

Huidenxiang was stunned and did not understand what Huan Zhen said. He asked, "Brother, what are you saying?" Huan Zhen calmed down and said, "Second brother, why do you say we are here to stand on our own? Is it for your own happiness?" Huidenxiang raised his head and said, "Of course not!" Huan Zhen smiled and said, "Then why do you say?" Huidenxiang opened his mouth wide and couldn't answer.

Huan Zhen sighed, "Do you don't know, right? Actually, I don't know." Looking into the distance, he said, "But I know that everyone in the world should live well, and every battle in the world should not be fought." Hui Deng Xiangqi said, "How can that be? If I don't kill corrupt officials, corrupt officials will come to kill me; if I don't hit people, people will come to beat me." Huan Zhen sighed and did not answer. After a long time, he said, "Well, let's get brothers." The reason why he agreed was that he could not bear to hurt the friendship between brothers, and the other was that he was really confused in his heart, not knowing whether it was right or wrong, where to go. Hui Deng Xiang scratched the back of his head, and said a few more gossips, and now he went to write a reply to Fu Shan (so don't write by Huan Zhen, some people's calligraphy is shameful).

Although in principle, the two armies were agreed to merge, but Xiao Wutai was so far away from Baishui that it was impossible to relocate the Tianjun, and Wang Er would not invite them to come to his territory to seize the sphere of influence with him. Therefore, although the two armies formed a nominal alliance and Guo Tianxing was dominated by Wang Er, they still formed their own system in the Tianjun, and the original organization remained unchanged. Hui Dengzhang was still his general. Huan Zhen had no military position, and there was no promotion or surrender.

In Huan Zhen's original intention, he thought that this so-called alliance was just a piece of paper and could not be truly realized. But after the Wang brothers brought Fu Shan's pen and Hui Deng's finger seal, and many gold, silver and wealth donated by the Heavenly Army returned to Baishui, Wang Er quickly sent someone again, but this time he sent to "receive" the Heavenly Army. There were three people coming, including Wang Dazhu and Wang Daliang last time, and there was another one called Ma Shuai Fei. I thought it was a nickname, but no one knew what his real name was. Among these three, Ma Shuai Fei was the main one. This person was very scheming. When he came to Xiaowutai, Hui Dengxiang asked him to take him around. It was not until after dinner on the third day that he said that Wang Er asked him to accept the Tianjun. Huan Zhen had always been disliked for social engagements, and he hated this half-bad man, so he only showed up and fled to the table. Fu Shantui said that he had a headache and never came. The seats were all commanders of each battalion and a few generals. At that moment, the generals, and when they heard this, they immediately exploded and almost overturned the table. Hui Dengxiang saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly announced that the seat would be disbanded. After the settlement, the three of them flew immediately. He came to find Huan Zhen and briefly explained the matter.

When Huan Zhen heard this, he realized that Wang Er was too whimsical. Could it be that these three people could easily accept the five thousand army with their bare hands and three mouths alone (the heavenly army has developed to five thousand in this period of time). Subconsciously, he felt that he didn't need to pay attention. Unexpectedly, Hui Dengxiang advocated to be patient and give in. He said that he was against the government, why did he have to fight first? The two of them retorted back and forth, and they almost broke up and started arguing. Huan Zhen tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "Second brother, have you made up your mind to hand over the five thousand soldiers?" Hui Dengxiang said, "How can you talk about hand over? I think that the second master Wang killed the officials in Baishui and rebelled, which was also a good news. Good man, even if we belong to his subordinates, it is not a matter of insulting the name of the name. What's more, when we decided to join the alliance earlier, did we have to be the second master Wang as the chief general? Since he was the chief general, it is natural to send one or two people to take charge of the subordinates." Huan Zhen laughed in anger and said, "Okay, it's great!" He reached out and slapped the table, and only made the teacup jump up, and said coldly: "Our team was originally your second brother, and the general was you, but not me. Now you advocated obeying Wang Er, and I had no chance to argue. But I had a problem with a long time and could not stand bald by nature. If the bald horse was in power in the Guotian Army, I had to go to the mountains and forests and be my free-lawed man."

Hui Dengxiang was stunned and said, "What does your brother mean? Most of the brothers can reach the scale of today, relying on the planning of their brothers. How can they abandon their brothers once they leave?" Huan Zhen shook his head and said, "You also know that the Tianjun has the scale of today, and it is more powerful than my planning. However, you think that once Ma Tuzi takes power, he is a close friend of Wang Er's hand, but he is not the same as you and my brothers. Second brother, do you think he can still tolerate my brothers planning military affairs?" Hui Dengxiang was confused. Ran said, "How could that happen? Even if I am not a general, my brother is still a military advisor." Huan Zhen only felt that his temperament was so annoying. He was about to lose his temper, but in a second thought, he held back and said, "Let me talk for a while. Let me ask you, do the commanders of each battalion and the generals of each post know this?" Hui Dengxiang thought for a while and said, "When the commanders of each battalion are flying to explain the matter immediately, the commanders of each battalion are there, and there are four or five people."

Huan Zhen sighed inwardly that Ma Shi Fei was vicious. Since he wanted to take over power, he should have secretly discussed with Hui Deng. Now he deliberately made it unexpectedly to the public, clearly trying to disrupt the morale of the army and make profits from it. Thinking of the four words "take profits from it", he couldn't help but feel moved, thinking: Even if the morale of the army of the Heavenly Army is very strong, what profit can Ma Shi Fei get? If Wang Er sent him to receive the military power of Hui Deng, then trying to maintain the morale of the army is more conducive to the transition of power. What is the benefit of Ma Shi Fei creating chaos like this? For a moment, this question echoed in his mind, but he didn't hear Hui Deng calling by his side.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He grabbed Hui Dengxiang and shouted, "Is that true that Wang Er sent? What evidence do you have?" Hui Dengxiang was stunned for questioning and replied casually, "There is a letter from Mr. Wang." Huan Zhen shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no!"
