From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

At that time, in addition to Crouching Tiger Village, there were also more than a dozen bands of bandits, large and small, active near Luzhou. The official army also sent troops many times to encircle and suppress them, but they always suppressed one side and suppressed the other side. They appeared and made the officers and soldiers exhausted.

Now Zheng Xu has handed over this arduous task to Yang Xingmi's Crouching Tiger Camp. It is both a crisis and an opportunity. It depends on whether you can use it wisely and turn the danger into safety.

The reason why it is said to be a crisis is because this is clearly a borrowed knife plan devised by Xue Huai. He borrowed the knife of other bandits to kill Yang Xingmi. If a slight mistake was made in Crouching Camp, everything would be over. As for the opportunity, if Yang Xingmi is strong enough, not only Instead of being eaten up, you can use this opportunity to quickly expand your team and attract talents to join.

Yang Xingmi finally chose to accept the challenge. He led the Crouching Tiger Battalion to attack continuously, using various methods such as storming, sneak attacks, persuading surrender, and disintegration to eliminate many groups of bandits near Luzhou one by one. The bandit leaders Gao Xu, Li Shenfu, Liu Wei, Tai Meng and others surrendered one after another, and Yang Xingmi was so happy that he got so many useful talents at once. He held a grand celebration banquet to celebrate with his brothers.

In less than three months, Yang Xingmi had cleanly wiped out most of the bandits near Luzhou, and the strength of Crouching Tiger Camp also grew rapidly, from the original 500 people to more than 2000. The remaining fish that slipped through the net and were photographed in Crouching Tiger Camp also moved to other places, and the peace of the past was restored to the territory of Luzhou.

Zheng Xu was overjoyed by Yang Xingmi's achievements. He did not expect that Yang Xingmi was indeed a fierce general. It seemed that his vision was correct when he was on the execution ground. In a good mood, Zheng Xu quickly promoted Yang Xingmi to the position of deputy general of Luzhou, second only to Xue Huai.

Now Xue Huai quits. This guy is coming with bad intentions. Is this the way to replace him?

Xue Huai's hatred for Yang Xingmi doubled. He secretly thought, no, Yang can no longer stay in Luzhou. If he stays for a few more days, I, Xue, will pack up and leave.

Just when Xue Huai was thinking hard about this matter, the Huainan Jiedushi Yamen in Yangzhou issued an official letter about the dispatch of troops to guard the border this year. According to regulations, this year it is Luzhou's turn to send people to the northwest border to guard the border. .

Seeing this official letter, Xue Huai's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh. God helped me!

I was worrying about how to deal with Yang Xingmi, but now I have a solution.

According to past practice, each state under the jurisdiction of the Huainan Jiedushi District will select one state to be responsible for guarding the border. The selected state will form a team and go to the northwest border to guard the border for one year. If there are special circumstances, it may be extended One year.

It was an unspoken rule in the past that this kind of errand was given to new recruits. The reason is very simple. In the Gobi desert in the northwest, there are flying sand and rocks, long yellow sand, and not even a tree can be seen. Who would want to go to that ghost place and suffer.

What's more, it's been a year since I left, which makes me shudder just thinking about it.

In the past, every time it was Luzhou's turn, Xue Huai would worry. He definitely didn't want to go, so he had to arrange for someone to go. If there are new recruits, they will definitely be given priority, but in recent years there have been no recruits for a long time, which would be troublesome.

This year, Xue Huai didn't have to worry. Because of Crouching Tiger Camp, he immediately thought of this new recruit team and reported it immediately.

It was so satisfying to finally drive Yang Xingmi out of Luzhou.

Every time he thought of this, Xue Huai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After the list was reported to Yangzhou, it was approved within a few days.

A week later, Yangzhou sent another letter confirming that Crouching Tiger Camp would be the team to guard the border this year, and the destination of this year's border guard was Shuofang (today's Hetao area in Inner Mongolia).

Yang Xingmi soon received a notice, requiring him to prepare everything within three days and wait for Zheng Xu's approval before officially setting off.

The news came so suddenly that he couldn't think about it carefully, so he had to go down and prepare immediately.

Three days later, Zheng Xu, accompanied by Xue Huai, went to Crouching Tiger Camp to pay a farewell visit to Yang Xingmi.

For the sake of Zheng Xu's kindness, Yang Xingmi endured the unhappiness in his heart. He knew that this was Xue Huai's fault again. After saying goodbye to Zheng Xu, Yang Xingmi led the team on the road north.

Crouching Tiger Camp traveled through mountains and rivers, slept in the open air, and finally arrived at Shuofang two months later, where they would spend a year of guarding the border.

After Yang Xingmi left, Xue Huai was like a dragon entering the sea in Luzhou. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his old self. He thought that Luzhou was still his world. In addition, not long after, Zheng Xu was transferred back to Beijing to serve as prime minister, and Wang Jin took over as the governor of Luzhou, so he had no worries.

Who is Wang Jin?

This man was a distant cousin of Gao Pian, the military governor of Huainan. He used flattery and flattery to win the title of Luzhou governor, and he took office proudly.

Not long after Wang Jin arrived, Xue Huai took the initiative to get close to him. Within a few months, the two men became colluding and became strategic partners.

Luzhou's good situation in Zheng Xu's hands was instantly wiped out, and it once again returned to the miserable years when the people were in dire straits.

The banditry in Luzhou that was finally suppressed by Yang Xingmi resurfaced again. Under the pressure of Wang Jin and Xue Huai, the villagers in Luzhou could not bear it anymore. They rose up one after another, occupied the mountains as kings, and bandits roamed everywhere. Luzhou was suddenly in chaos.

But Yang Xingmi, who was far away in Shuofang, didn't know all this.

Time flies, and one year has passed quickly. When it is time to change defenses, Crouching Tiger Camp is ready to go, ready to go through the handover procedures and return to Luzhou.

During his year in Shuofang, Yang Xingmi made several like-minded brothers, and his team grew stronger, with the number growing to more than 3000 people.

The news that Crouching Tiger Camp returned to Luzhou reached Xue Huai's ears immediately. This year's comfortable life almost made Xue Huai forget about Crouching Tiger Camp.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that his old friend Yang Xingmi was coming back soon. He calculated with his fingers that his term of guarding the border had expired. This was not a good sign. The smile on Xue Huai's face disappeared instantly, and he lowered his head to think about countermeasures.

Yang Xingmi must not be allowed to come back. If he comes back, who can check and balance him in Crouching Tiger Camp? While Zheng Xu was here, he gave Zheng Xu some face. Now that Zheng Xu has left office, no one can control Yang Xingmi.

Thinking of this, Xue Huai couldn't sit still and immediately went to see Wang Jin to discuss countermeasures.

The two people got together and discussed from afternoon to night, and finally reached an agreement, that is, to find an excuse to send Yang Xingmi out and let him guard the border again.

The two were very proud of this plan and celebrated with wine glasses.

Half a month later, Crouching Tiger Camp successfully entered the territory of Luzhou. When the news came, Wang Jin and Xue Huai personally went out of the city to greet them.

They set up a simple banquet at Shili Pavilion, ten miles away from the city, and waited for the arrival of Crouching Tiger Camp. One day later, a team appeared behind the woods in the distance. In front was a large group of cavalry, followed by infantry. Flags were fluttering above the team. A large flag with the words "Crouching Tiger Camp" on it was flying in the wind. The military flag at the back is emblazoned with a large Chinese character "Yang".

Xue Huai saw it and was secretly surprised. He thought it was terrible that Yang Xingmi's team had grown to such an extent after not seeing him for a year.

If this person is not eliminated, there will be trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Wang Jin next to him, and saw that Wang Jin also looked solemn and worried.

Not long after, the scouts sent by Yang Xingmi arrived at Shiliting. After meeting Wang Jin and Xue Huai, they handed over Yang Xingmi's personal letter, reporting on the situation in Shuofang during the past year.

Wang Jin looked at it briefly and said: "Crouching Tiger Camp has worked hard. Please invite General Yang to come quickly. The state has prepared a reception banquet to cleanse him."

After another half an hour, Crouching Tiger Camp finally arrived at Shiliting. Yang Xingmi and others on horseback dismounted one after another.

Xue Huaichong raised his hand to Yang Xingmi and said, "Brother Yang has worked hard all the way. Let me introduce you. This is the new Governor Wang."

Yang Xingmi came forward to see Wang Jin. Wang Jin smiled and said: "I have heard about General Yang for a long time. I am glad to meet you today. I am glad to meet you. I have prepared a small amount of wine in this state to wash away the dust for the general. Please invite me, general."
