Chapter 207: Successful Extermination
Only at night will he come out and walk around, this night Su Cimo sent someone to inform Tuoba Heng that tomorrow is the day when the mine will come out of the mine, and tomorrow will send five large carts and horses to transport these iron ores, so that Tuoba Heng will pay attention to the situation on the road, rush back as soon as possible, and pay attention to concealing the ears and eyes of those mountain bandits.
Tuoba Heng did so, and quietly rushed back to the vicinity of the mine with the army's men and horses overnight, and then joined Su Cimo. Then the group hid in a pre-arranged place, and constantly added spies around to watch their every move, and immediately sent a signal if the minecart in the mine was ransacked. Recruit everyone over and catch those mountain bandits together.
Everything is ready, it is early in the morning, Su Cimo, Tuoba Heng and Yang Baihao's soldiers are divided into three routes, and they are stationed in three places.
Su Cimo and Yang Baihao were on the road through which the iron ore was transported by the mine carts of the imperial court. Tuoba Heng, on the other hand, took half of the people to the mountain immediately, and when he arrived in the cave, he was ready to ambush outside the cave at any time under the leadership of Chen Feng, and took down the rest of the people hiding in the cave.
Soon, the director of the mine received Su Cimo's instructions, and began to set off to escort the mine carts full of iron ore to the direction of the imperial city under the escort of hundreds of troops, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and it looked like it was real, in fact, this was just a scene that Su Cimo had designed a long time ago, waiting for the big fish in the mountain to come out and bite the hook.
Soon, the mountain bandits noticed the movement of the minecart, so they walked forward in the mountains, and the running figure was seen by Su Cimo and Yang Baihao at a glance. But the two were not in a hurry, and hid on both sides of the road, ready to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits at the same moment as they attacked.
Soon those mountain bandits saw that the mine truck was getting farther and farther away from the mine, so the mountain bandits thought of looting here, Su Cimo saw this and immediately launched a smoke bomb, suggesting that Yang Baihao on the opposite hill took action, and the two rushed down the hill with soldiers and horses, and directly surrounded the group of mountain bandits who had gone down the mountain and started to rob around the mine truck.
The army and the mountain bandits fought, but those mountain bandits did not expect that Su Cimo would suddenly appear with so many people, and suddenly the situation changed from an advantage to a disadvantage.
Su Cimo immediately ordered the surrounding soldiers to capture them alive, and the army pressed the border, those mountain bandits couldn't wait to be guarded, and they had no choice but to be pressed up by the people led by Su Cimo with spears at once. But there are also some who are not afraid of death, and would rather die than be imprisoned by the soldiers, they would rather resist desperately and fight with the soldiers, and they will not lose the battle in the end, but they can't help it, and the officers and soldiers are numerous.
In the end, he was either killed or committed suicide, or was directly captured alive by Su Cimo. Finally, the battle here was won, and Su Cimo immediately sent people to search around in the surrounding mountains and wilderness to see if there was any survival, and then sent people to support Tuoba Heng's army who was suppressing bandits in the mountains.
Soon Yang Baihao led people to support Tuoba Heng's army, Tuoba Heng was over there, because of Chen Feng's leadership, so he quickly entered the cave, and found people everywhere to block the bandits' escape path.
Soon the leader of the mountain bandits was leading the bandits who were hiding in the cave and were at ease, and when they saw the officers and soldiers entering the cave, they were all so frightened that they wanted to flee in all directions. But how could it be too late, Tuoba Heng led the officers and soldiers to suppress those people and had nowhere to escape, and Tuoba Heng's martial arts were very clever, even if the bandit leader came out, he was not his opponent.
"Hey! Didn't you flee with your troops? How can your martial arts become so high now!? I'm used to playing tricks! You wait for my army to come back from the robbery under the mountain! Don't you want to run away! "The leader of the mountain bandits led a team of several thousand men to fight Tuoba Heng in the forest.
Tuoba Heng fought with them, but fortunately, Tuoba Heng's martial arts were world-renowned, and he did not fall under the leaders of those mountain bandits, and soon, Yang Baihao led the army to support, and then the two worked together to quickly arrest the mountain bandit leader with more than 1,000 bandits.
Tuoba Heng led people to ask them where they had hidden the stolen iron ore, and the leader of the mountain bandits wanted to hide and refuse, but all his brothers were arrested and brought up the mountain, and some of them were among the leaders. The leader immediately felt very helpless.
Because Tuoba Heng told them that as long as they were willing to cooperate with the investigation, they could reduce their crimes and be exempted from capital crimes.
Those people were very happy to tell Tuoba Heng the truth, and there were many ordinary bandits who told Tuoba Heng the secrets of their leader, and many of them did a lot of shady things to Tuoba Heng.
Immediately Tuoba Heng was very angry, it turned out that there were many mountain people in this mountain, but the leader of the mountain bandits took the men away to make his own minions, and the women were raped and plundered, and all the property and property of those ordinary people were destroyed and stolen by them.
In this mountain, it can be said that there is no evil and no evil, and he also said that he will be on an equal footing with the emperor in the future, and one day the old man of the emperor will look at him differently. Tuoba Heng was furious when he heard this, and immediately announced that those mountain bandits would be investigated clearly, and some mountain bandits who had committed very serious crimes would be executed to comfort the people.
This time the war was won, and finally the robbers in the mountains were almost wiped out. And many of them were ordinary mountain people who were abducted and sent up to the mountains, and they were acquitted by Tuoba Heng, and some people who were proven innocent were also released, and the rest were held as slaves and imprisoned outside Tuoba Hengna's army. Always ready to be brought back to the Imperial City for trial.
The leader of the mountain bandits was killed by Tuoba Heng because of his serious crime and his insidious cunning.
They found a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in the mountains, all of which were obtained by selling and looting iron ore.
Tuoba Heng was ready to hand over all this gold and silver to the imperial court, and the imperial court would distribute it. Eventually, there were no more bandits around the iron mine. The director of the mine was very happy to thank Su Cimo and them, and said that he was blind and couldn't recognize how many adults had come that day.
Su Cimo was happy and didn't care about him, and a few people said a few words and dispersed.
Tuoba Heng returned to the army, commended Su Cimo for his bravery and strategy, and then praised him for the reward he deserved, so he re-elevated Su Cimo's position in the army to the position of deputy general in front of all the generals.
Su Cimo's face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, this matter was not what he wanted to get this position, but he had this smart intelligence, in fact, the level of the position was not so important to him, but in Tuoba Heng's heart, Su Cimo wanted to give prestige to all the soldiers, so he had to hold a high position.
After the army did all this, it did not evacuate immediately, and Tuoba Heng heard about many mountain bandits robbing the people in this area. So he was very angry, and wanted to find out what the officials behind this were doing, why couldn't they even do these basic things? There are mountain people who can't survive well because of the raids of bandits, and he feels that there is a lot of trouble in this.
So Tuoba Heng sent someone to thoroughly investigate the local government and the officials in charge, and then Tuoba Heng found that these officials almost didn't do much, just acting in front of people, and then turned a blind eye behind their backs, and didn't report anything to the court.
The appearance of robbers in the mountains was only a few signs at first, but these corrupt officials and corrupt officials didn't care because they were too lazy to make people, and only when these mountain bandits were very rampant and stole the iron ore of the imperial court official mines, and were discovered by the officials of the imperial court, they wrote to the imperial court that this was all about the mine.
If it weren't for the theft of the iron mines, perhaps they wouldn't have known that there were such rampant robbers in the mountains.
Tuoba Heng dealt with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who took bribes, and then managed the local people's livelihood for a while before finally preparing to start leading the army to the next place where the bandits should be suppressed.
Tuoba Heng is not a person who just talks but does not do, he wanders around the neighborhood and the mountains every day, goes around to understand the situation and deal with the problems of people's livelihood, writes to the court to transfer new officials to the paperwork, and only after dealing with these things is he is ready to leave Cuiyun Mountain.
Gradually, Tuoba Heng's reputation in the area of Cuiyun Mountain gradually spread, and the people said that he was an honest and good official, not only solving the affairs of those corrupt officials for the people, but also doing many good things to promote people's livelihood.
Tuoba Heng turned a deaf ear to all this, because as a prince, he had the obligation to govern this great river and mountain well, and there was no praise and praise at all.
The problem of the mountain bandits was solved, and the people finally dared to go out to the market to do business.
Tuoba Heng watched the merchants and people in the area of Cuiyun Mountain gradually relax and do business outside, and he was very relieved to prepare to take the army to the next place to suppress bandits.
Just before Tuoba Heng left, the court sent a quick and urgent document at this time. Tuoba Heng looked at the document in his hand with a slight hesitation, Su Cimo also noticed the sudden arrival of the document in the Japanese army, so he stepped forward curiously to prepare how Tuoba Heng would react, whether it would be because the bandits were very successful, so the emperor wanted to reward them again.
Just when Su Cimo was having a good dream, Tuoba Heng opened the document in his hand, and after reading it carefully, he found that it was an urgent call from the emperor's handwriting, saying that the emperor was seriously ill, and immediately passed him Tuoba Heng to return to Beijing overnight to face the saint.
Tuoba Heng finished reading the paperwork in his hand, and felt that the notes would not be fake, and even his mood became anxious.
If the emperor is seriously ill, then it is a big event, and he has a task to travel away, and he can't be with him, thinking about how many doubts his father had when he issued the edict, I am afraid that he does not want to arouse everyone's attention, so he will choose to use a small document to summon him back to Beijing.
