Tiancong is eight years old, and Fuyou is twenty-one years old. Huang Taiji personally led a large army to attack the Datong area of Shanxi, because of the continuous war, the grain and grass were difficult to requisition, and they were often hijacked by bandits on the way to escort the grain and grass.
As a quartermaster who escorts grain and grass, Fuyou is naturally duty-bound to arrest bandits and protect military supplies, so he and his colleagues found a lot of local villagers to understand the situation, and these villagers are not less angry with these bandits on weekdays.
It turns out that the number of bandits is not large, they are all mountain people from all over this place, kung fu is commonplace, relying on sneak attacks, ambush at the foot of the mountain road on the way of the brigade, after avoiding the guards, pick up the unfinished vehicles, because Shanxi is the Loess Plateau, the ravines and ravines, the terrain is too complicated, they are all locals, familiar with the terrain here, robbed the grain truck and disappeared in a blink of an eye, so it is very difficult.
After a comprehensive understanding and analysis, Fuyou and his colleagues devised a plan
Early the next morning, Fuyou and the soldiers who were good at kung fu disguised themselves as coachmen, escorted the last few grain trucks, deliberately slowed down, and widened the distance from the front team.
Fuyou an iron rod danced whirringly, those unprofessional bandits saw this, and they were almost peeing their pants in fright, and the black iron rod with thick wrists would be sprinkled on the ground if they knocked on their heads.
However, how clever the martial arts of Fuyou are, although the black iron rod danced with terrifying momentum, it did not kill once, and only used some ingenuity to overturn these stupid bandits, at most, it hurt their hands and feet, and lost their combat effectiveness.
Before the tea was done, the bandits were already defeated, and they had no arrogance to rush out at all. One of the bandits shouted at the bandit leader: "Big brother, withdraw, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood, this time we have a hard idea."
The bandit leader saw that the general trend was gone, so he had no choice but to whistle, and the bandits immediately dispersed.
Fuyou knew that if the tiger returned to the mountain, there would be endless troubles, and he must eradicate this gang of bandits in one fell swoop, so that the food team could not be disturbed in the future, and after a few words of explanation to the accompanying sergeant, he followed the bandit leader and walked for a few miles, and saw the bandit leader and a few minions turn a slope, but there is no trace!
Fuyou was surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to follow rashly, waited for a while, saw that there was no movement, so he picked up a stone to throw a stone to ask for directions, stayed for a while, still no movement, and followed the footprints left by the bandits, but after a long time he found nothing. This is really strange, how can a few big living people say that they are gone? Just when Fuyou was at a loss, he suddenly heard movement on the ridge not far away, and he hurriedly hid.
I saw two people emerge from behind a mound, and they couldn't stop complaining: "Our boss is too unrighteous and escaped by himself, but let us come back to explore the wind and do the errand of sending him to death." ”
As soon as Fuyou heard it, it immediately became clear that the nest of this gang of bandits was nearby.
Avoiding the eyes of the two, Fuyou looked for the place where they came out, a bare road, very narrow, Fuyou picked up the iron rod, and walked carefully inside, a long passage, a sharp turn, another passage.
Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me, a rope sleeve was thrown over, Fuyou squatted down, dodged the rope sleeve, turned around, and the iron rod stretched out to touch the leader on his back and face the sky. The bandits saw that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, and disappeared in an instant.
Fuyou was depressed in his heart, this bandit, why is it so slippery, he had no choice but to go along the road again, and walked about half a mile, just turned a hill, and saw more than a dozen bandits appear in front of him.
"It's a lot of guts! Came in alone? If you dare to cut off the brothers' livelihood, the brothers will naturally not let you live again, give it to me! A short, thick man shouted with a hideous face, it was the leader of the bandits who had just fled in the wilderness. Fuyou hurriedly leaned against the dirt mountain wall. Take a closer look at this gang of bandits. They were much more relieved that their weapons were not bows and arrows or new firearms, except for broadswords and ropes. Isn't Fuyou, who has practiced Shaolin martial arts for ten years, the same as playing with these thieves? I saw that Humpty Dumpty whistled, and a dozen minions rushed up, and the big knives and ropes were on together, and the iron rod of Fuyou only pressed against their stomachs and gently sent forward, and they couldn't get up with their backs facing the sky. Those who picked up the rope were twisted by the blessed iron rod and twisted the person, three times five divided by two, the point of the point, the slap of the head, the slap of the head, all fell down in one blow. Blessed blessed, with their ropes, they were tied up in a strong knot. ”
Mentioning the short and sturdy man at the head, the black iron long rod shook in front of his eyes, and asked, "Tell me honestly, can you wait for the nest here?" "I've just seen Fuyou's skills, who isn't afraid of his iron rod? The man hurriedly said, "It's in the gate behind you." ”
Fuyou turned around, and sure enough, there were two muddy gates, almost the same as the mountains, if it weren't for the bandit's leader, he really couldn't see it. "How do you open the door?" Fuyou brought the man to the door like a chicken, and the man twisted the wooden handle on the side of the door, "Wow-" The door opened, and Fuyou was stupid: Why is there so much food? Mountains pile up.
Looking at the mountains of grain, Fuyou couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to the bandit leader: "These unrighteous things, since then, all of them have been used as military funds, you and other bandits have dispersed since then, live in peace, if you want to do this hurtful thing again, beware of the guy who took you to eat."
When the bandit leader heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, thank you for raising your noble hand and not killing, I will definitely change my past ......mistakes when I go back."
"Okay, Hugh is going to be verbose, leave quickly, a large number of officers and soldiers will arrive in a while, and I won't be able to leave any of you."
As if they were amnestied, the bandits hid in the forest behind the mountain.
Blessed with this unexpected food, my heart was overjoyed, which solved the big problem of shortage of military food.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Taiji was furious because Fuyou had no one to protect him and left without permission, and he suddenly heard the sergeant come to report that the second elder brother was back. Fuyou entered the tent, saw that his father Khan's face was calm, and knew that his father Khan was worried about his own safety, so he hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty, and reported to Huang Taiji how he found the grain, saying: "Father Khan, the grain must be transported out immediately, and I am afraid that things will change after a long time." ”
Huang Taiji scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, you want to remember your father Khan to death!" Now that you're familiar with the path, it's up to you to take people to transport the grain. ”
Due to the hurry, the cave was dark, and he didn't see how much grain there was at the bottom, Fuyou estimated that there were about a few hundred bags, and a few hundred bags were not a decimal, but there were tens of thousands of catties. Who knew that after careful inspection, I was shocked, and there were thousands of bags, but fortunately this cave was ventilated everywhere, otherwise it would be a pity to get damp and moldy. It seems impossible to carry food by manpower, because the road to the mouth of the cave is too far, and the grain bags are large and heavy, and the way out is uphill, making it more difficult to carry food, and the car cannot get in. How did they get in? Unless with a wheelbarrow. He asked the sergeant to look at the grain cave and go outside to find the wheelbarrow. But this place is bare, and you can't see people from afar, how can there be so many cars?
In front of us was a hillside with a flock of goats scattered on it, and the old man was sitting on the mound and dozing off. Those sheep walked uphill and downhill to find grass to eat, and they didn't fall down at all, and some places were very steep. Fuyou looked at it and his eyes lit up: There is. Hurriedly came to the old man's side and woke him up: "Old man, are there any sheep in your village?" ”
The old man was frightened when he saw that it was an officer with braided soldiers, and the people of that meeting were very afraid of the officers and soldiers, and they were even more afraid of being officials, so they wanted to kneel, and Fuyou hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, old man, are there still sheep in your village?" ”
The old man asked in pure Shanxi dialect: "What do you want the sheep to do, Master Jun?" Kill and eat? The sheep I herd belong to the owner, and if you kill and eat them, I can't afford to pay for the old man. ”
"No, it's borrowed, you take this bit of silver. Fuyou gave the old man a small ingot of silver. ”
The old man was immediately so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut: he had never spent an ingot of silver since he was a child. Busy said: "There are sheep, and there are thousands of Sun Shan's family in the village, which is a big household." ”
"Good! You lead me. ”
The old man said that Sun Shanren was really kind, and he knew that if the soldiers of Houjin forcibly captured and killed his sheep and ate meat, he would not be able to resist at all. This young Houjin officer and Heshan Shanshan kept saying that he was borrowing sheep, but he didn't hear that there were still sheep to borrow, and he had to borrow as much as he could. The young man borrowed not only sheep, but also food pockets, clothes and trousers. It doesn't seem like you're going to kill sheep and eat them, so hurry up. So he tried his best to meet the conditions of Fuyou, and borrowed five hundred sheep and five hundred grain bags. Sun Shanren did not expect sheep to get rich, he was a big businessman, and there were several big businesses and money houses in Taiyuan. Therefore, the sheep and the bag can be returned, and if they are not returned, they will be considered unlucky.
Fuyou not only borrowed sheep, but also brought back a lot of pockets. The soldiers wondered what the two highnesses were doing. Fuyou shouted at the soldiers: "Don't be stunned! Drive the sheep to the hole and fill the grain in the pocket, don't fill more, about twenty or thirty catties on the line, tie the two pockets together, put it on the sheep, don't mess with it in order! ”
Only then did everyone understand the trick of His Royal Highness. The pockets are obviously not enough, so Fuyou took the lead in taking off his outer pants and tied the hem and waist of his pants to make it a pocket. It's better to put it on the sheep, hurry back and catch it up, as many as you want. Fortunately, it is not far from the station, and you can get pockets and clothes and pants when you go back.
When his flock convoy arrived at the camp, many people came out to see the excitement. Everyone shouted and shouted, "Hey, look, it's unprecedented!" Huang Taiji heard the sound of "bleating" sheep and also came out to see. I thought to myself, what is this for, who ran to the camp to herd sheep? After a closer look, he laughed: "Whose idea is this?" Enough is amazing! "One question, the second brother's idea. Huang Taiji said: "Another Morgan Dai Qing (Manchu, meaning smart person)!" ”
When he returned, he brought a lot of horses and food bags with him. Let the sheep be carried out of the hole, and when they reach the gate, they will be placed on the horses. After many round-trips, all the food was brought back. Fuyou felt that there should not be just food, and it was impossible for bandits to rob things only food, there might be something else. So he returned with his men and horses to look for it, and found a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, cloth, and other things in another cave.
Huang Taiji specially set up a banquet to wash the dust of Fuyou, and on the banquet, he said to everyone: "Today, my son is blessed, and he has made great contributions to solve the food and winter clothes of the entire battle!" , the merit is infallible, come and come, everyone will drink together and celebrate the second elder brother! ”
