"The king, some of the brothers who fled to the mountains a while ago want to run over, and they want me to ask, does the king still want people?"

"Oh, how many?"

Qin Yu's eyes lit up.

How could he not want people? Now Zhushan County has become a hard bone, and it is cannon fodder to gnaw.

This person was the first to stand up and defect to the military household surnamed Zhang, for the sake of the horse bones of Qianjin City, so he was given a captain, his real name is Zhang Yunpeng.

Seeing Qin Yu's reaction, he was immediately overjoyed, and replied with a fist: "There are more than five hundred people." ”

"So much? Aren't they going to flee back? "Qin Yu is a little strange, those routs are still wandering around in the deep mountains?

"My lord, the road is too far for the brothers who have not eaten or drunk to go back at all, and they remain in the mountains, and the people nearby do not want to see them, and I have heard from them that many brothers have been killed by the hunters, and many brothers have been hungry for several days."

Zhang Yunpeng explained that a while ago, they caused a lot of harm to the nearby villages, but now that the weapons have been lost, the brothers have also run away, and the terrain is not familiar, they can't beat those hunters at all.

And the villages united to clean them up, digging traps, and setting up tricks in an endless stream, as long as they were caught, they were all beaten to death.

"In this way, you pick some brothers to go into the mountains and tell those military households that as long as they are willing to go out of the mountains to join me, Lao Tzu welcomes them, and they have enough food every day, and occasionally meat to eat, and this matter is done, and you will be promoted to the next level when you come back."

Qin Yu patted him on the shoulder and said.

Those villages in the mountains are actually not much different from bandits and bandits, in the past, these military households wore the hats of officials and soldiers, and they could only endure it.

Now that it has become a rout, there is no worry about killing, and the terrain is not familiar, where can the military households without blades win?

So all of a sudden, the rout soldiers who fled into the mountains were recruited.

In fact, he wanted to recruit Orions in the mountains, but they all dragged their families with their families, and even if they wanted, the burden was too great.

"Don't worry, the little one will definitely bring them all back."

Zhang Yunpeng hurriedly replied excitedly.

Not long after Zhang Yunpeng led people into the mountains, sure enough, there were military households in groups out of the mountains and came to the county seat to defect.

Three days later, more than 8,000 people were recruited, and almost all of them who were alive came, and a large area of black pressure made the gentry and landlords in the city shocked.

"My lord, why are there so many more thieves at once?"

"These damn Qiu Ba actually rebelled with the thieves, they all deserve to be killed."

Omniscient County was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Those people didn't change their clothes, they recognized it at a glance, and they understood what was going on.

"How's that okay? I shouldn't have fought to the death with the thieves in the first place! ”

"Alas! Well, now that the anti-thieves are fighting more and more, it's really a big joke..."

The gentry's thighs were almost swollen, and they all scolded Dai Dongmin in their hearts for harming others and themselves.

Fortunately, at that time, they did not agree to let the Jiading Nursing Home also go out of the city to participate in the war, and they also paid a lot of blood for this, otherwise everything would really be over.

"You don't have to worry, a group of rabble, no matter how many people there are, they don't want to attack the city, the soldiers and horses of General Zuo and General Qin should be on the way to Zhushan, this gang of anti-thieves will not be rampant for long."

Quanzhi County had to comfort that if this person's heart was scattered, he would definitely not be able to hold it, and he would be doomed by then.

After hearing this, everyone's faces finally looked much better, which was their only hope and the only motivation to persist until now.

But looking at the east and west, the overwhelming anti-thieves pressed in, and they were all frightened, knowing that today was definitely the most difficult day.

However, they didn't know that they were looking forward to General Qin and General Zuo, and they were all fighting in Fang County at the moment.

Both of them are constantly fighting for Xiong Wencan's books.

Zuo Liangyu insisted that Baokang and Fang County were recovered by him, and he also killed more than 3,000 elite thieves.

At the same time, Qin Ming was accused of killing good people and lying about the military situation, and did not mention anything about being ambushed and losing the battle.

Qin Ming insisted that Zuo Liangyu was rash of the enemy, and was almost wiped out by the anti-thieves ambush, and even lost his official seal.

Fortunately, he arrived in time with his troops, not only reversed the defeat, but also took the opportunity to recover Baokangfang County, and finally the thief was killed and fled to Zhushan in a hurry.

Xiangyang, inside the Governor's Palace.

Looking at the two completely different battle reports, Xiong Wencan was as big as a fight, and he couldn't wait to behead both of them.

In the end, he had to say helplessly: "Yaozhi, in your opinion, these two battle reports, which one should be true?" ”

"My lord, the student thinks I'm afraid neither of them is true." Wang Can replied with a wry smile.

"Well, then Zuo Liangyu and Qin Ming are really lawless, but after all, they still have to rely on the two of them to exterminate that Xiaohua King, and the two are obviously arguing now, what do you think about this matter?"

Xiong Wencan nodded, what kind of urine is the Ming military attaché, how can he not know?

"My lord, now that the matter is now, it can only be dealt with in a compromise, the speed of General Soldier Zuo is faster than General Bing Qin, and Baokang County must be recovered by him with people.

The only explanation is that General Soldier Zuo was indeed defeated by the anti-thieves and retreated, and then was taken advantage of by General Qin. ”

Wang Can took the two battle reports and thought for a long time, then analyzed.

"That's all there is to it."

Xiong Wencan sighed, and decided to divide the credit in half, one to recover Fang County, and the other to recover Baokang, so that the two of them would immediately join hands in Zhushan, and he would play the court to ask for credit for the two.

As for Zuo Liangyu's defeat and loss of his official seal, Qin Ming's killing of Liang and his meritorious deeds, he also didn't mention a word, as if it had never happened.

If it is normal, this kind of muddy method is indeed feasible, and it is also the usual means of civil officials to mediate disputes between military generals.

But this time, Zuo Liangyu lost half of his soldiers and horses, and nearly a thousand war horses were lost cleanly, and he didn't get any fart, and he had to give half of the credit to Qin Ming, where would he agree?

So after receiving Xiong Wencan's reply, he was so angry that his nostrils smoked, and he felt that Xiong Wencan was clearly favoring Qin Ming, and he was unwilling to enter the army at all.

Aren't you partial to Qin Ming?

Then let him take the soldiers and horses into the army, and he will pick up the cheap ones in the back.

Qin Ming wanted to march, but Fang County to Zhushan was full of mountain trails, and there was a lesson from Zuo Liangyu's past, Zuo Liangyu didn't move, where would he move first?

And when the people sent to inquire about the news replied that the 20,000 guards in Zhushan had been defeated by the anti-thieves, and at this moment, the tens of thousands of anti-thieves were besieging Zhushan County, so they did not dare to rush into the army.

After all, he still knows in his heart that compared with Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses, the people under him are indeed a little worse.

Xiong Wencan was furious when he saw that the two of them were still alive and dead, and immediately reprimanded him, if he didn't march again, he would not blame him for going to the court to treat the two of them for being afraid of the enemy like a tiger and allowing the anti-thieves to run rampant.

As soon as the credible envoy was dispatched, the prefect of Yunyang urgently reported that the 20,000-strong army of Yunyang was defeated by the anti-thieves not long ago, and the governor Dai Dongmin did not know his life or death, his whereabouts were unknown, and he was suspected of having fallen into the hands of thieves.

Xiong Wencan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the whole person sat down on the chair, where could he still sit still?

immediately asked people to prepare the car, and took his staff Wang Can to Fang County in a hurry, preparing to supervise the battle in person.
