    What is power? Now it is.

    Riding on the horse, Yang Hu looked at the mighty army with a sense of complacency. There were nearly a hundred thousand troops. When they descended the mountain, there were still ten thousand bandits from the Taihang Mountains. Now they have one hundred thousand soldiers in their hands.  Say that I, Yang Hu, don't have the ability to sit in this world?

    Shandong is also an area where horse administration is implemented, and the people are responsible for raising horses for the government, so Yang Hu can plunder a large number of war horses in a very short period of time.  Nearly ten thousand horse bandits living in the Taihang Mountains are brave, good at fighting and bloodthirsty. They are taught by this group of ruthless and highly skilled murder experts. The brutal battlefield with blood and fire uses death to teach fighting experience. The original simple, kind, and even cowardly  The farmer who was like a sheep soon became equally ferocious.

    The combat effectiveness of Yang Hu's army has increased rapidly, and all the soldiers are like wolves and tigers. It is difficult for local officers and soldiers to fight this group of crazy desperadoes.  Apart from the fact that Gaocheng Dafu is heavily guarded and the walls are thick and difficult to break through, Yang Hu is unwilling to spend a lot of troops to attack. In field battles, there is no imperial army that can compete with them.

    Yang Hu's army obtained a large number of weapons seized from the officers and soldiers. Not only were they well-equipped, but his guards were even equipped with firearms.  In order to maintain a strong combat power and drive his soldiers to work for him, Yang Hu abandoned the principle of not robbing the old and the young and not prostitution of women that he still insisted on when he was a bandit. The military discipline of the army was extremely corrupt, and everything he passed was in ruins  , Countless women were raped to death.

    People in troubled times are not as good as dogs, so are they just ordinary people?

    The strong in the troubled times are likely to be the humble people like dogs in the peaceful and prosperous times. They picked up the swords and guns, so they can decide the fate of others, but at the same time, this also hastened their own death.

    However, the pain of the people is not limited to this. There are also soldiers with corrupt military discipline in the army, especially small groups of troops who have been dispersed and lost the control and supervision of the court law. They have become the same as Yang Hu's white army.  Cruel, greedy.

    'Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like worms'. In order to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, the white-clothed army hastily looted and hurried on their way to satisfy their animal desires.

    Their deeds forced more desperate people to join the white-clothed army. From a kind-hearted people who had been bullied, they transformed into beasts of the same kind and began to harm other kind-hearted people.  They became cruel in order to survive, and became shameless because they didn't know how long they could live because of the bleak future. It was a vicious circle, full of corruption.

    The governor of Shandong is not ignorant of these situations, but at this chaotic moment, he is already busy dispatching troops to fight against the white-clothed army.  Play deaf and dumb, so as not to provoke a mutiny and add fuel to the situation.

    As a result, the situation in Shandong has deteriorated further, and no one has any hope of quickly quelling the rebellion.  Rich people began to move to the canal early, taking water to escape to the capital, and Yan Shenggong's dozens of treasure cars and hundreds of people fled to the capital by taking water.

    Yang Hu's army moved very quickly and overtook them. Along the way, they encountered rich gentry and landowners carrying gold, silver and other valuables with their families and fleeing to the canal many times.  The gold, jewels and jade treasures are all packaged and handed over to Yang Hu as military supplies.

    But these are not enough. On the one hand, the gold and silver treasures aroused the strong fighting spirit of the rebels, and on the other hand, they provided the financial foundation for Yang Hu's army to rebel. However, due to the mixed soldiers and bandits in Shandong, the normal economy was completely disrupted.  For the time being, the money cannot be converted into the war supplies they need.

    The white-clothed army does not engage in production, but blindly destroys production. With an army of 100,000 and more than 50,000 horses, such a large supply of food and fodder is completely plundered. The producers either died or fled, or joined the ranks of destroyers, Shandong  How much food and fodder are there for them to consume?

    There may still be plenty of supplies in the city, but now all the cities are stepping up to consolidate and garrison guards. In the wilderness, it is the world of predators like the white-clothed army. Once they attack the city, especially the high city of Dafu  , they want to fight down, what they need to pay is the lives of a large number of newly trained soldiers, Yang Hu can't afford such a big price.

    In this season of hope when the spring is full of flowers and the fields should have just been planted, there is barrenness and death everywhere. The soldiers in the white army have not noticed it yet, but as the commander of the three armies, Yang Hu has already felt the pressure brought by the food.  .  Where there is food, there are soldiers. Once the soldiers cannot be supplied with food, the consequences will be dire.  Therefore, it is imperative to cross the south of the river, or go south via Henan, and enter the richer Central Plains.

    &nbsp?Who is this, where did it come from, should I have heard of it?  "

    Yang Ling was in a hurry, Cheng Qiyun curled her lips, and said disdainfully: "In the fifth year of Chenghua, Duke Yansheng was confiscated and demoted to a commoner, and after he left the capital in disgrace, his descendants were not ashamed to come here except when he was enfeoffed.  The capital is gone, but it¡¯s because of the civil uprising in Shandong?¡±

    With this series of conversations, Yang Ling at least knew where he came from, but he still didn't know the origin and identity of this father-in-law, so he pretended to be very interested and said: "Chenghua five years What happened?"  ?¡±

    Just as Cheng Qiyun was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that Yang Ling was a scholar and a disciple of a sage, and she was afraid that his face would be ugly if she said it, so she hesitated for a while and didn't answer.

    But Xue'er didn't have such scheming. Seeing that the master was very interested, she rushed to say: "I know this. When Yan Sheng Gong Kong Hongxu was 8 years old, he took over the capital and stayed in the capital without returning. When he grew up, he married the daughter of a scholar Li Xian.  .This man has bad conduct, more than 40 people who raped him, was tyrannical and arrogant, and strangled four innocent people to death for no reason, so he was dismissed."

    Cheng Qiyun raised her brows, and said coldly: "Such a reckless disregard for human life and heinous crimes is because after being a saint, he just continued to enjoy the glory and wealth of the title, and his son will inherit the title of Duke Yan when he grows up, hum! What is the justice? The world is not fair  ".

    "Ah!" Yang Ling called out.

    Now no matter how stupid he is, he knows who he is. No wonder he has such a grand style. Although the titles are equal, he is a descendant of a famous family.

    Xue'er smiled and said: "Sister, don't be angry, this time you are out of anger. I heard from Wang Shangshu that Hong Niangzi rebelled in Shandong, captured Qufu, broke into Kong's house, raised horses in the lobby, cooked in the second hall, and the garden house.  At the pasture, Yan Shenggong¡¯s family fled to Beijing in a panic, and the family¡¯s mountain of grain was divided among others.¡±

    "Ah!" Yang Ling yelled again.

    He opened his hands, stunned for a moment, and couldn't make a sound.
