Chapter 282: The Officers and Soldiers Are Defeated
The name of the senior cadre is obtained, not only the name is good, the personality is also good, the person is generous, uninhibited, and knowledgeable and measured, but also the Great Song Dynasty heavy literature and light martial arts, a capable person like him has only now mixed with a low-level military attachΓ©, which shows how capable a person is to be a person of the level of the Privy Council of Xifu.
Liang Chuan and Gao Gan met late, and they talked for a long time until late at night before reluctantly leaving. As soon as Gao Gan returned to the camp, he immediately called the herald, wrote down Liang Chuan and the strategy he said to control the enemy, and then put it in an urgent report and sent it to Zhao Weixian.
Since there is a way to quell this catastrophe without wasting a single soldier, how can he not sacrifice it? Now I hope that things may turn around and that this matter can be resolved without bloodshed. There is only a dead end to go up the mountain, when the soldiers are killed and wounded too much, and the mountain people have no way to take it, and there is no way to return to Quanzhou Mansion, the court has never had any tolerance and mercy for the defeated generals, they are all pushed to the end, and they are directly relegated to the flat-headed people to go home to farm!
Brother Zhao didn't come back until late at night, and he brought back a lot of food, but he didn't bring back any of the weapons he wanted.
"What's going on? Li Chengfu refused to borrow weapons? Liang Chuan frowned and asked.
Brother Zhao said: "Li Dutou said that he couldn't be the master of this matter, so he took me to the blacksmith shop in the city for a walk, the blacksmith only dared to make farm tools, and he refused to make anything about the blade." When I went to the county office, all the weapons and equipment in the treasury were distributed, and even the horsemen who drove the horses were armed to the teeth, and they couldn't borrow them. He didn't dare to go to the county magistrate to ask for it, so. . β
"There is no way to do it, this matter makes Lao Li a little embarrassed, I thought that these officials would sit and wait for others to come to the rescue. They didn't know how to resist. Liang Chuan paused and then said, "How much grain did you bring back?" β
"Young Master Zheng gave five thousand catties of grain before he said a word, and he didn't even mention the money." When Brother Zhao talked about stones, there was some respect in his tone.
"Hmm." Liang Chuan just said one word, and didn't mention anything else, what is the situation, the monk who recruited his brother and uncle was confused, and the people on both sides made him unclear about the situation, one didn't mention the money, and the other didn't say thank you, as if they cooperated with each other.
The 5,000 catties of grain Liang Chuan was not put in the He clan ancestral hall again, but was stationed in his own home. Gao Gan is right, without food, they will have no way to live. Now there is definitely not much food in Xinghua, 5,000 catties is not much, it is not too much, and it is not too much to say less, Zhaodi explained the situation, according to 200 people to calculate two thousand catties for two months is far from enough, and the stone must have done its best, and now take one step at a time.
Liang Chuan said to Brother Zhao: "Brother Zhao has something right now, don't sleep at night, go to Qingyuan Port overnight and help me find someone?" β
Although Brother Zhao was tired for a day, after all, he had been sleeping outside for many years, and he had long adapted to this rhythm of rushing, and he did not hesitate, and responded: "Who are you looking for?" β
"Find an outsider named Hussein, I remember he came to our house."
"I remember, is it the outsider who asked you to buy mosquito coils before?"
"That's right, it's him, do you remember what he looked like?"
"Remember, wearing a white headscarf, a big beard, and very deep eye sockets, you can recognize it at a glance."
"You go to him and tell him I'm going to buy iron ingots, iron ore, tung oil, and some shields. Iron ingots can make 100 spear heads, 100 waist knives, and tung oil is about 200 catties. β
Liang Chuan said: "If he refuses, you tell him that if he helps me this time, I will help him build a mosque in Quanzhou Mansion in the future!" β
"What temple?" Brother Zhao didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.
"Mosque, if you tell him once, he'll understand. You don't need to understand, do you have any other questions? β
"Third brother, this money." Brother Zhao doesn't want to go empty-handed, Qingyuan is not as good as Xinghua, and he has to eat and drink on the road.
Liang Chuan gave Brother Zhao a hundred taels of silver, and instructed Brother Zhao: "If it's not enough, let Hussein owe it first, remember that it's a mosque!" "Brother Zhao naturally doesn't know which great god the mosque enshrines, but for a devout believer like Hussein, if he can give Allah a place to live in the east, his status in the religion can be regarded as skyrocketing!
Brother Zhao sat down and pulled a lot of rice, and Yi Niang baked him a few more wheat cakes, rolled them up with green onions, and wrapped them in oiled paper, which was convenient for Brother Zhao to satisfy his hunger on the road. After Brother Zhao had eaten and drunk enough, he did not delay, and immediately set off for Qingyuan.
After Liang Chuan and other younger brothers left, he set out to summon Luo Xian, and asked him to send a few people to strictly guard the rice in the ancestral hall, except for himself and He Baozheng, Yi Niang and other others no matter what they do, no matter how nice they say, they can't be put into the ancestral hall, there are thousands of catties of food in it, there can be no loss, they will take care of it tonight, and then change to someone else tomorrow, and someone will take care of it every day in the future.
In the village well, during the day, Liang Chuan asked people to put a fish in every well, and when they fetched water one day, they found that the fish in the well turned white, and the well must not be drunk anymore. This is also a practical method, after all, someone is guarding it, and if someone else throws poison in from behind, it can't be found, so it's better to have a fish inside.
After the daytime drill, Liang Chuan gathered all the people and asked them to set up a sentry post next to the mountain road into the village, arranging one person to stand guard every day, and the other person to patrol the mountain road from time to time, and then set up secret sentry posts in the houses, in case the sentry post was killed, and the entire defense line was useless.
Every day each squadron leader has to come to him to get the password, Liang Chuan told them that Kangxi Yongzheng and other passwords, the thirteen emperors of the Qing Dynasty changed one a day anyway, the team members had never heard of this word, and they didn't know what it meant, except for what he told them, Liang Chuan was 100% sure that except for his own team members, others definitely didn't know these terms.
Early the next morning, Zuo Qiuhong's forward battalion was opened, and the soldiers in the south did not have the slightest bloodiness in Li Chuyi's eyes, these were like flowers in a greenhouse, and only that kind of well-fed and frosty troops could cast iron-blooded arrogance.
Liang Chuan had a very bad premonition early in the morning, and his chest was like a big stone blocked, and he was indescribably bored. His instincts had always been accurate, and he couldn't help but worry about these soldiers. Today he did not let the team drill, but gathered everyone, the wolf whisk used gold juice, the wood knife and axe were all sharpened, and the team of each village was waiting in front of their respective mountain roads, and everyone did not understand, the officers and soldiers had gone up the mountain to suppress the people, and they still had to bother so much.
The sunlight moved to the middle of the day, shining on people's heads a little dizzy, and the team members had just finished eating, and Liang Chuan was the last thing he wanted to see that something finally happened. On the mountain road, the officers and soldiers who went to quell the chaos in the morning threw away their armor, covered in blood, and completely out of order, and rushed down from the mountain with their lives.
There were only a few soldiers, but later more and more people went down the mountain, and they ran down in groups, and Liang Chuan received a report from the sentry, and he followed him to the foot of the mountain to observe the enemy's situation.
Liang Chuan ordered everyone to form a formation immediately, and the members of each corps lined up nervously according to the drill formation, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, they had no way to retreat, this was their homeland, and the officers and soldiers could leave the villagers to flee for their lives, they couldn't do it, and the women and children in the village would have to die if they ran away.
Liang Chuan himself was holding two big axes at the foot of Helu Mountain, standing at the front of the team, Li Chuyi followed beside him, holding a firewood knife, and behind him were five teams with mandarin duck formations, they looked at Liang Chuan standing in front of them, and the tension was much less, but the palms of their hands were still full of sweat, and the officers and soldiers lost so badly, could they fight?
The first officer and soldier who ran to the entrance of the village were stopped by Liang Chuan: "What is the situation on the mountain?" β
The officer and soldier were so frightened that they were so frightened that they only trembled in their mouths, and after gasping for a few breaths fiercely, they cried out: "That. . . That.. Mountain. People. β
Liang Chuan slapped this officer and soldier, "Say it well, you can't die!" β
The officers and soldiers were slapped heavily, and both eyes were glowing with gold stars, but fortunately, the pain made him forget his fear for a while, and then he said: "Mountain. . . The people have set a lot of traps on the mountain, and we. Caught in an ambush, everyone fled down the mountain, even what kind of enemy is it. I didn't see it! β
"How many of you are left?"
"I don't know, there aren't many running behind me anyway."
Liang Chuan didn't see Zuo Qiu Hong and Gao Gan, it is estimated that both of them are righteous, Zuo Qiu Hong is a stunned young man who is eager for quick success, but it would be a pity if Gao Gan died.
"Don't run, there's nowhere to run, I'll chop you again, pull out the knife, stand behind, and then follow us to cut people."
More and more officers and soldiers ran down the mountain, and when they saw that Liang Chuan and his group were fully armed, they all ran towards them, and the place with a large number of people must be safe. Liang Chuan gathered these defeated soldiers, and after a while, he gathered nearly fifty or sixty people, some of their weapons were lost, and he picked up a wooden stick on the ground casually, and followed Liang Chuan's team members, ready to fight.
At the end of the team, Liang Chuan finally saw an acquaintance, Gao Gan. This kid didn't even have a horse, and the armor on his body was taken off while running, and he didn't look much better than these officers and soldiers, and seeing Liang Chuan was like seeing a savior, and tears were about to come out.
"Brother Gao, where's your horse?"
"Grandma's, the horse ate a stumbling rope and broke its front hooves, so Lao Tzu can only rely on two legs."
"The mountain people have been killed!" The sentry shouted.
I saw that the mountain people behind beat the water dogs, chasing these fleeing officers and soldiers were unyielding, and they would kill one when they caught up with one, and they were not soft, their clothes were tattered, and most of them were holding bamboo guns and other equipment in their hands, and the better ones were equipped with machetes, and the means were quite ferocious, and they were really from the hunters, and their eyes were green when they chased the prey.
