The Iron Leopards rebel army was at its highest morale.

Since the uprising, countless people have gathered in just half a month, and the momentum has been overwhelming. Indeed, some people from all over the world have gathered and responded, winning food and scenery to follow.

But now, being suddenly attacked by the Shenji Battalion, the morale was instantly deflated.

Unwilling to fail, Iron Leopard retreated fifteen miles to the camp overnight and planned to fight the officers and soldiers again.

But that night, countless people fled, and only 30,000 people remained.

Everyone in Wei Feng Village had been busy all night, and after finally trying to calm down their morale, they gathered in the big tent again and looked sad.

Zhuge Laosan said, "The situation is not good. All the food and supplies have been lost. If this continues, there will only be more deserters."

"what to do?"

"Instead of attacking a big city like Zhending, why not go south and attack the counties around Shunde Prefecture?"

"Then the Shenji Battalion is still going to chase us?"

"Then go further south and attack Henan."

"Henan has been robbed by other rebels..."

Iron Leopard turned to look at Wang Jue again and said, "Lao Wu, what do you say?"

After this battle, he felt that Lao Wu was the smartest among them.

"Ask me again..." Wang Jue muttered and replied, "If you ask me, if we are not rebel material, we should go back and become bandits."

"Don't shake the morale of the army!" Ying Laosi scolded.

Niu Laoer said, "We are all brothers, why don't we say something from our hearts? I also think it would be better to go back and become a bandit."

It was noisy until daylight, but someone reported, "General, Chaoyan has sent an official to appease us!"

"Recruitment?" Zhuge Laosan nodded to Iron Leopard and whispered, "This is indeed a way out..."

When someone wanted to enter the tent, Wang Jue and Zhuang Xiaoyun quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they would be recognized and implicate the Wang family.

Wang Yan lowered his head and heard the person calling himself "Wang Zhengli".

Hey, Zhengli? Isn’t it the name of my brother Zhen?

When he raised his head, he saw Wang Zhen standing there calmly, glancing at him vaguely...

Wang Yan's eyes were sore, and his heart felt a little hot, and the grievances he had felt over the past few days suddenly surfaced.

Big brother, my younger brother is having a hard time!

Over there, Wang Zhen seemed to not recognize him, chatting freely...

"Recruitment? What do you think? If everyone could learn from you, kill officials and rebel, and then be recruited, the world would be in chaos. I am here today to give you only one way out. The bandit leader will surrender and die, and the rest will not be punished.

…”

"You scholar, you have such a loud tone!" Tie Baozi was furious and shouted, "Do you think I dare not kill you?!"

"You can kill me." Wang Zhen said, "But if you are defeated in the future, this last way out will be gone. By then, thousands of people in your Weifeng Stronghold will be rebellious, and not a single person will be left alive.

…”

"I will chop you up now!"

Niu Laoer suddenly rushed forward and punched Wang Zhen hard.

"Second brother, don't worry, listen to him." Zhuang Xiaoyun quickly rushed over to stop him.

During the dispute between the two, Niu Laoer couldn't get rid of his anger. He reached out and grabbed Wang Zhen's clothes and pulled him to the ground. The tent became a mess...

"Everyone stop it!"

After Iron Leopard finished drinking, he scolded Wang Zhen, "I am rebellious? If it wasn't forced by your government, why would I do this rebellious thing?! In my Weifeng Stronghold, who is not the one whose family is ruined and whose family is ruined and who have to die as a last resort? The officers and soldiers are unjust, you scholar?"

If you are really knowledgeable, you might as well vote early..."

"Is this why you gathered a crowd to rebel and rob the people?!" Wang Zhen shouted.

His clothes were torn a little messy, but he took the first two steps, stared at the iron leopard and said, "I have come all the way to Baoding. Everywhere in Zhending, people's livelihood is in ruins, bones are laying on the ground, orphans are crying, and old women are swallowing."

Shun Ping, when passing through Tang County, what I saw was that there were no human beings for three hundred miles, and there were only lonely ghosts... All of this is thanks to you!"

"I didn't." Iron Leopard shouted, "I only killed officers and soldiers, I didn't rob the people. I was raising the flag of righteousness..."

"Really?" Wang Zhen sneered, "What's the difference between what you snatched with your own hands and what your subordinates snatched?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced twice, pointed at the top of the tent, and said with a sigh, "Look, your so-called General Juntian's big tent is made of... children's clothes."

."

Iron Leopard looked up and was suddenly stunned.

Everywhere he looked, the small piece of cloth was still stained with blood...

Wang Zhen shook her head and said slowly, "I'll give you one day to think about it. If you don't agree to my conditions, when the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion arrive tomorrow, there won't be any armor left."

"Brother, he is talking nonsense, kill him!"

"Brother, let's take this scholar into custody..."

Iron Leopard waved his hand, stared at Wang Zhen and said, "Go back and watch, I will one day overthrow this unjust court. Then you can come and talk to me about your righteousness."

…

Half an hour later, Wang Jue took Zhuang Xiaoyun out of the ceremony and complained softly, "What's the use of me, my eldest cousin, coming here to talk about what I have and what I don't have?"

But he saw Zhuang Xiaoyun lowering his head and pulling out a note from his sleeve...

"Lao Wu, what did you say?"

When Iron Leopard asked Wang Jue again, Wang Jue reluctantly stood up and said, "My eldest brother, you don't listen to what I said, and you still insist on asking me."

"Just say it if I ask you to say it."

"If you tell me, these threatening people are useless. We might as well take our old camp in Weifeng Village to the west and hide in the Taihang Mountains. We can wait for the officers and soldiers to leave before we come out to rob them."

Zhuge Laosan slapped his thigh.

"Brother, this is a wonderful idea!"

"..."

Hutuo River, also known as Hutuo Lake, flows slowly from the Taihang Mountains and converges into a wide water area on the sunny side of Xibaipo.

Across the water from Xibanpo, the river surrounds a mountain called Donkey Mountain.

Donkey Mountain is surrounded by water on three sides, so there is no way to escape once you enter the mountain.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month of the eighteenth year of Chu Yanguang's reign, the main force of the Iron Leopard Rebel Army, more than 1,800 people, was forced into Donkey Mountain by the Shenji Battalion...

Iron Leopard still can't figure out how he got to this point?

Ever since I met that scholar, I seemed to be trapped in his plans every step of the way.

Wherever the army went, they were fucking ambushed...

The remaining defeated soldiers fled all the way and guarded Donkey Mountain. Now it is the end of the hero.

Two days after entering the mountain, Tie Baozi thought for a long time and suddenly felt sad. He abandoned his sword and shouted, "Why don't I surrender and die, and let the officers and soldiers let my brothers go. Damn it, one life can be exchanged for a thousand lives. This is not a bad deal."

…”

"Brother, you can't do it!" Zhuge Lao San was in mourning, holding the iron leopard in his arms, and shouted, "The officers and soldiers lied to us. Brother, they will still kill them all if you go..."

"That is, if we die together, we will be a good man in the next life!"

At this time, even the usually taciturn Sixth Master Zhuang Xiaoyun stood up and said with emotion, "I will never surrender to the unjust court! Brothers, I would like to lead people to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, and you can take the opportunity to break out and leave."

"Lao Liu, no!"

"No, we must die together..."

Zhuang Xiaoyun said flatly, "Don't say too much. My life was saved by my fourth brother, and I will return it to my brothers today."

Several leaders tried to persuade them again, but Wang Yan slapped his thigh and stood up, "That's good! I'll go with Lao Liu."

His eyes were red and he said, "It was my idea to enter the Taihang Mountains. It is my fault that my brothers have been brought to this point..."

"Lao Wu!" Tie Baozi suddenly hugged Wang Jue, patted his back, and cried loudly, "I have never blamed you. I just wish I didn't listen to you and leave early..."

Wang Jue was stunned.

Looking up at the 200-pound big man crying, he was really confused.

No, are you really crying? You are the bandit leader.

"Brother, I have made up my mind..."

For Wang Yan, he has always wanted to escape from this den of thieves.

He missed home, Biqi, and everything in the capital.

Finally, he followed Zhuang Xiaoyun and rushed down Donkey Mountain.

The officers and soldiers who were ambushing all around stood up and surrounded them. He followed Zhuang Xiaoyun and rushed into the officers and soldiers...
