Chapter 53: The Masked Bandits

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian led his subordinates out of the city for ten miles to greet Feng Ye, just wanting to see Feng Ye. People are so sincere, Feng Ye is not easy to see.

"I've seen the hussar generals. Tao Qian took the lead in saluting and said.

Originally, Feng Ye was also ready to attack Xuzhou after occupying Bingzhou and Qingzhou, but now he is so respectful and provides food and grass for his army.

Feng Ye eats soft and not hard, and he really can't bear to attack Tao Qian again. He's really not the material of the hero. The heart is not ruthless enough, the skin is not black enough, and the skin is not thick enough. If people treat him well, he can't do it.

In an era when there is no transcendence, it is really difficult for such a person to get ahead. But when individual force can surpass collective power.

Personality and the like, it's really not important, if you have strength, you have everything. Whoever refuses to accept it will be beaten until he is convinced.

"Tao Envoy-jun, why are you so polite?" Feng Ye asked curiously.

"Hussar general, I am old and frail, time is short, this position of Xuzhou pastor, can not be done for long, and now the court is controlled by the traitor Dong Zhuo.

And Youzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, is now governed by the general, and the people are abundant, which shows that the general is a great talent.

For the sake of the people of Xuzhou, they can live a good life, so I want to let Xuzhou be governed by the general. Tao Qian said politely.

He coughed twice to show that he was really old and frail. Feng Ye couldn't imagine that Tao Qian actually wanted to give Xuzhou to him.

In addition, he also had plans to occupy Xuzhou, so he did not have a false politeness. Then he said to Tao Qian: "Tao envoy Jun is polite.

I have just occupied Jizhou now, and it will take some time to straighten out government affairs, and it will take some time to digest the merger of state and Qingzhou.

Therefore, I hope that Tao Yuanjun can preside over the government affairs of Xuzhou for a while longer. When I have my hands free, I will come to Xuzhou again. I don't know what to do with you?"

Gave it away for nothing, and they didn't have time to ask for it, so they told him to wait for a while. This Tao Qian's heart was both happy and a little sad.

Happily: Feng Ye does not plan to occupy Xuzhou for the time being, and he can still hold the power of Xuzhou for a period of time.

The sad thing is: Xuzhou, which he values so seriously, doesn't seem to be so important in Feng Ye's eyes.

"In this case, the old man will help the hussar general to deal with the government affairs of Xuzhou for a period of time. Maintain the stability of Xuzhou until the hussar general comes to receive it. Tao Qian said with a kind face.

"In this way, it will be hard work. Feng Ye Tao Qian arched his hand and said.

After saying goodbye to Tao Qian, Feng Ye continued to hurry with his subordinates. Feng Ye led 3,000 people to open the way in front, and Zhao Yun led 6,000 people to press the formation.

There are also some people who run back and forth in the ranks to avoid any accidents.

Don't look at Feng Yejun's might, but the amount of this property is too big, and countless people are attracted to the road with red eyes.

Among them, there are mountain thieves and horse bandits, as well as some mountain villagers, as well as private soldiers of big families, and some generals from all over the country.

It's not that they don't think they can snatch it all. Instead, they felt that the team was so big, as long as they could grab the things of such a car, they would run away if they grabbed it.

The escorted army, who is not familiar with the place, may not be able to catch them. It's just this kind of luck mentality.

Let these people be like moths to a fire, constantly impacting Feng Ye's transport team, making Feng Ye annoyed. There are people who don't know what it means to be afraid if you don't hurt them.

People die for money, and birds die for food, that's what is said.

The speed of the convoy is naturally difficult to compare with the speed of the White Horse Yicong, and some robbers will be encountered at both ends in three days. Feng Ye was also unusually angry.

"Big brother, it's not a way to go on like this, this is still a relatively wealthy Xuzhou, and when I get to Qingzhou, I'm afraid that there will be more bandits. When camping at night, Zhao Yun found Feng Ye and said.

"It seems that I can only make an example of the chickens and monkeys, so that from tomorrow onwards, all the bandits I meet will cut off the heads of me, and hang the heads of these thieves on the side of the carriage.

Let these thieves who want to loot see what happens to our ideas. Feng Ye said fiercely.

"Big brother, won't this seem a little brutal? I'm afraid that some of the troops in the convoy will be timid to escape. Zhao Yun asked with some hesitation.

"Then do you have any other good solutions?" Feng Ye asked rhetorically.

"Big brother, otherwise, let's catch those bandits and let them pull carts instead of livestock.

Those bandits must not dare to attack our idea when they saw the miserable fate of being caught. Zhao Yun had a bad idea.

To deal with these endless bandits, Feng Ye has no good way. He could only say, "Then try it according to your method first." If it doesn't work, let's use my method again. ”

In just three days, hundreds of bandits were caught, some of whom belonged to a village, and these robber villages, usually serving the people, turned into bandits when they met a suitable target, blocking the road and robbing them.

Just after Feng Ye caught these bandits who blocked the road and robbed, the families of these people, with a bunch of old and weak women and children, knelt down on the road and begged for mercy.

"My lord, you can do it, you have captured all the young people in our village, that is, you have cut off the survival of our entire village!

How can we, the old and weak women and children, live?" the old man in the village took the lead, blocked the way of Feng Ye's army, and knelt on the ground to pray.

Feng Ye didn't have the slightest sympathy for these people, although they didn't commit a crime, but they enjoyed the benefits after committing a crime.

They are also part of the chain of interests, and if they sympathize with them, then who will sympathize with the passers-by who were killed by those robbers?

They just use the argument that the law does not blame the public, and they come to morally kidnap and want to punish them.

"Come on, arrest all these people and imprison them with those criminals, and since you can't survive anymore, then come with us.

I'll give you a way to live. Feng Ye coldly ordered.

These people he planned to go to Youzhou with those robbers to open up wasteland.

"General, I can't help it, I'm waiting for some old and weak women and children, and my body is not as good as that of young people, so I'm afraid that I will die on the road. Please be gracious to the general!" said the old man, trembling and pitiful.

"If you die on the road, that's how your life should be, press down. Feng Ye said coldly. A little less of this kind is a great thing for the whole world.

"You butcher! Even innocent old and weak women and children such as me will die sooner or later under the sword soldiers, and they will not die well. When the old man saw that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, he immediately changed his face and scolded bitterly.

"You said that you can't live on your own, and now that I'm giving you a way to live, why don't you want it?" Feng Ye said with a sneer.

A group of old and weak women and children were taken down and imprisoned with the robbers who were cattle and horses. With these drags, I believe that those robbers should not run away.

Feng Ye's handling of these bandits who were not long-sighted, and taking the families of these robbers with him undoubtedly slowed down the team's march again.

But the effect is very good, with these robbers and their families, crying all the way, I don't know, I really think that Feng Ye is a brutal team here.

I didn't meet robbers for several days in a row, and the fate of those robbers was too miserable.

If you walk slowly, you will be whipped by the soldiers in the convoy, whether old or weak.

Some people couldn't get up as soon as they went down with a whip, so the soldiers went up to make up for it. Anyway, these bandits can't be allowed to leave the team.

Even Feng Ye himself couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply came out of sight and out of mind, and led the people to avoid this wailing area far away and walked to the front of the team.

Feng Ye deeply knew that he couldn't be too polite to robbers, and the tolerance of these wicked people was cruelty to good people. Sympathy for the wicked is the greatest evil in the world.

"Where is the front, how long will it take for us to get to Jizhou?" Feng Ye asked the scout who was leading the way in front.

"General, it's not far away, after that mountain, we can leave Qingzhou. The scout replied.

Although there were scouts along the way, Feng Ye had always sent Hai Dongqing to explore the way out of close thinking. Many times, ambushed robbers, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, were able to evade the scouts.

But it is absolutely impossible to hide from the eyes of Tianhai Dongqing, which is the fundamental reason why the team is frequently attacked by robbers these days, but there is no loss.

Feng Ye just asked the detective cavalry, because he had already seen the ambush soldiers on the mountain through Hai Dongqing.

It's just that these people are hidden in the mountains, not close to the road, and the scouts have not found it.

"All the troops are on alert. Feng Ye ordered.

The white horse who was originally cruising around the convoy quickly assembled. The heavily armored halberds who followed the team also quickly lined up.

On the mountain at this time, Cao Bao and Zhang Min also looked at Feng Ye's stopped team strangely. Zhang Min said nervously: "Why did they stop?

"No, we ambushed so far so that our vanguard could attack the convoy in the middle of their ranks.

How could they possibly find out about us? There must have been something delayed. Cao Bao comforted himself.

"Then we'll wait. Zhang Min was reluctant to give up so many big cars, and even at this time, he still had a fluke mentality.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all. Feng Ye was also very embarrassed, now that the enemy was hiding in the mountains, if they didn't come down, Feng Ye's large army would not be able to pass through, once the enemy was attacked halfway, the loss would be great.

But if you want to be patient with the other party, it will be too much time. Bai Ma Yi was on the mountain, and he couldn't exert his combat effectiveness.

"General?" asked the guard who was following Feng Ye suspiciously.

"The enemy is lying in ambush on the mountain, you are on guard, I will take the halberd up to have a look. Feng Ye ordered.

"General, let's dismount and go with you! We know that you are strong in martial arts, but it is our duty to protect you.

And these of us are all selected from the entire Youzhou warriors, we are the strongest when we get on the horse, and when we get off the horse, we are no worse than the infantry. The guard said firmly.

Feng Ye looked at the guards' determined expressions, nodded and said, "Okay, then you can come along." ”

Cao Bao and Zhang Min on the mountain, seeing the heavy armor halberd warriors who were originally at the back of the team, quickly moved to the front of the team and began to come up the mountain.

completely broke their luck psychology, Cao Bao and Zhang Min, you look at me, I look at you. No one knows what to do.

When the desire for profit is consumed, Feng Ye's threat is something that can be ignored to them. But when it really came to face Feng Ye's army.

The hearts of the two of them were already full of remorse, that was the ruthless man who destroyed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu one after another, these two powerful princes.

"What should I do?" Cao Bao was already numb, his mind was empty, and he had no idea, so he could only turn to Zhang Min, who was acting with him.

"What else can I do now? Of course I fought with them?" Zhang Min is also a ruthless person, and when things come to an end, he doesn't have the courage to work hard.

"That's Feng Ye? Fighting head-on, how can we be opponents? Otherwise, let's run before we fight!" Cao Bao said timidly.

"Run, we are all infantry, how can we run past the White Horse Yicong when we go down the mountain? That is the most elite cavalry in the entire Youzhou.

Listen, in the mountains, we have a geographical advantage, and we don't necessarily lose. Let's fight one game first, hold on until dark, and then let's find a chance to run. Zhang Min said after making up his mind.

Cao Bao was also aroused by Zhang Min's ferocity, gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight him." ”

The two made up their minds and immediately ordered to fight with all their arms. They were originally lying in ambush here, planning to go down the mountain to rob.

Therefore, there were no fortifications built on the mountain at all, and they did not have any advantage in a real fight. But by this time it was too late to build defenses.

"Wait, cover your face first, Tao Qian has already given Xuzhou to Feng Ye, once he sees the faces of the two of us, when he takes over Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be the death of the two of us." Zhang Min reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cao Bao said in a loud voice when he heard this.

The two tore off their shirts and wrapped their faces around them. Even the petty officers around them did the same. For fear that Feng Ye would recognize them later. Then there will be no place to die.

In fact, they are completely overly worried, not to mention their little people, even Cao Bao and Zhang Min will not be taken seriously by Feng Ye at all. Even if you see them, you won't know them.

The officials covered their faces, and the soldiers followed suit.

When Feng Ye led people to the mountain, he was also unclear about the masked bandits wearing the armor of the Han Dynasty officials and soldiers.

It was the first time he had seen tens of thousands of bandits with their faces covered. Ordinary robbers are masked because they are afraid of being recognized, but are these tens of thousands of robbers afraid of being recognized? What kind of trouble is this?
