Both Yingzhou and Yingzhou are close to the Nanjiang River, Yingzhou is in the upper reaches and Yingzhou is in the lower reaches, and between the two places, mountains are blocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This area, because it is close to the Nanjiang River, is full of water vapor. So, throughout the year, there is a lot of rainy weather.

And now in late autumn and early winter, when the weather is cold, it is also the rainy time in Yingzhou.

Chu Mo and his entourage of more than ten people arrived in Yingzhou, and when they arrived in Yingzhou, it had just finished a heavy rain.

An autumn rain and a cold suddenly show the spirit of winter.

The roads were muddy, everywhere felt wet, and even horses couldn't run fast.

Chu Mo didn't go to the state pastoral mansion either, and went directly to the Yingzhou recruit camp.

It was dry and cold in the capital, and when they first arrived at this wet and cold place, Qinghe and Luohe felt uncomfortable, they didn't expect that in this weather, the clothes they brought could keep out the cold, but they were not suitable for keeping out the rain.

Chu Mo took a few people and came directly to the Yingzhou recruit camp and read out the holy decree. Subsequently, people invited Yingzhou Prefecture Mu Han Wangzhi and the local defender generals to discuss the suppression of bandits.

Li Jing was a little disappointed when he saw the handsome Chu Shizi arrive. On the way, he heard about the trouble between the two places, and when he arrived in Yingzhou, he thought about whether he would let himself lead troops to suppress the bandits nearby, and he didn't want to be nearby, but the general who took the lead was not himself.

At this time, no one cared about Li Jing's loss, Chu Mo acted resolutely, and under the successive arrangements, the officials and generals in Yingzhou were busy.

After those bandits won the defenders of the two places, their momentum was rampant. It was cold in the mountains, and they plundered several villages and towns near the mountains in Yingzhou to prepare for the winter.

After Chu Mo discovered the bandits, he directly selected 3,000 elite soldiers from the recruits, and selected 500 local officers and soldiers from the Yingzhou garrison as guides to attack the mountain.

When the bandits knew that the officers and soldiers had entered the mountain, not only did they not escape, but they also tried to repeat their old tricks and set traps.

But these officers and soldiers selected by Chu Mo were all familiar with the mountains and forests, and the scouts were well-informed, broke the trap of the bandits, and killed more than a thousand bandits.

At this time, those bandits knew that they were powerful, and they refused to fight with the officers and soldiers anymore, so they ran away and hid in the mountains.

Facing this battle with the bandits, Chu Mo asked Li Jing to lead the troops and act with the local defenders in Yingzhou, which was equivalent to giving him a military merit.

After Li Jing won the battle, he felt that his arrogance had risen greatly, but Chu Mo recalled them and ordered them to camp on the spot at the foot of the mountain.

"Chu Shizi, the last general doesn't understand, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue and hit the bandits' lair?"

"Adjutant General Li, do you know where the bandits' lair is?" Chu Mo nodded to the map in front of him, "The mountain range at the junction of Yingzhou and Yingzhou stretches endlessly. Are there three holes of thieves and only one nest? ”

"So you mean we'll wait?"

Chu Mo glanced at Li Jing, the eldest son of the Anguo Mansion, who had endured for many years, and now he was in a hurry to soar into the sky?

"Vice General Li, come and see, we have guarded these intersections, if the bandits finally gather in one place, won't they be able to succeed in one fell swoop?"

When the other generals heard this, they all felt that this method was the best. Li Jing looked at the place Chu Mo pointed to and nodded his head.

Chu Mo asked people to go to the capital first to report the victory, and he was not in a hurry to go into the mountains to chase and suppress, but sent people to guard a few mountain roads, and drove the bandits from the three places to Yingzhou, and at the same time asked people to send a letter to Peng Ze, the governor of Yingzhou.

When Chu Mo arrived in Yingzhou, Feng Ping also rushed to Yingzhou.

He grew up in the capital since he was a child, and the old house of the Feng family in Yingzhou has never been there. On this trip, he just returned to his hometown, and he couldn't publicize it, and naturally he wouldn't go to meet the officials of Yingzhou.

On the wall of Yingzhou City, he saw the notice posted by Peng Ze, the Governor of Yingzhou, saying that the imperial court had sent troops to suppress the bandits, and the bandits had been surrounded, so that everyone could go to the government to report Yunyun if they had any news of the bandits.

There are soldiers and generals, and Chu Mo is in charge, Feng Ping is not surprised by the defeat of the bandits, but since the bandits have been defeated, he is more assured.

Therefore, he took two entourages and inquired in the city and found the dilapidated mansion of the Feng family.

This mansion occupies an extremely large area, and the outer wall has collapsed in several places, but the general pattern is still there, the gate is half-open and half-hidden, and the copper rings and other objects on the door may have been dug up, revealing two large holes.

Because the Feng family was beheaded by the whole family, the family property was confiscated. After this house was returned to the government, people disliked the owner of the house as a broken family, and the feng shui was not good, so it has not been sold.

Feng Ping rummaged in the courtyard for two days, and finally found what he was looking for, a map of the Yingzhou Mountains.

The earliest vein map has been dedicated to the prince at that time by Feng Ping's grandfather, and now this map is a copy of a silk painted by Feng Ping's grandfather.

Feng Ping looked at this silk and sighed, the Feng family died because they helped the eldest prince, but he left a life because of this vein.

Before his death, his father told him not to tell him about it, in order to save his life. Now, Emperor Yuan is old, and if the crown prince ascends the throne, he will naturally need a lot of money.

He was grateful for the prince's cultivation grace, and he also wanted to exchange this picture for the new life of the Feng family. However, the real thing was inevitably unsafe, he looked at it carefully several times, engraved this picture into his mind, and then, after burning the silk and seeing it turn into ashes, he left with confidence.

"Mr. Feng, I've found the map, why don't we go back to Beijing as soon as possible?"

"No, let's go into the mountains and walk around, go back to Yingzhou from the mountains, and then rush back to the capital." Feng Ping planned to walk through the place himself.

"Mr. Feng, there are bandits in the mountains."

"Chu Shizi has already defeated the bandits, and now those bandits are busy fleeing for their lives, they must have fled to hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, how can they have the heart to rob passers-by. We don't go through the jungle, we just walk along the mountain path. ”

The local officers and soldiers of Chumo Yingzhou and Yingzhou patrolled the foot of the mountain and the crowded mountain roads everywhere, and the bandits could only hide in the mountains if they did not want to reveal their whereabouts.

Feng Ping is not worried about security.

Those two entourages were selected by Yan Ning to protect Feng Ping's safety, and in other matters, they naturally obeyed Feng Ping's orders.

This is also Chu Zhaoheng's cautiousness. He was afraid that if he sent guards, Feng Ping would feel that he was being watched, so he specially asked Yan Ning to arrange it.

Feng Ping trusts Yan Ning, and of course he trusts the people she assigns.

Therefore, the two entourages saw Feng Ping's insistence, so they followed him back to the city, bought a donkey, and bought the things to be used in the mountains.

When the three of them left the old mansion of the Feng family, they glanced around, and this open space was silent. Feng Ping thought in his heart that if he could revive the Feng family, he would definitely come back to restore the old mansion and worship the ancestors.

After the three of them left, this empty and uninhabited land, there was a sturdy man dressed in a short beat. The man glanced around, and landed silently into the old mansion. (To be continued.) )
