In fact, the mobilization of the Luzhou Assassin is a bit redundant, after the news reached the state capital, the officials and people of the city have long been boiling, everyone wants to see the demeanor of the Pingnan Army, and they all want to see with their own eyes, how powerful the Pingnan Army is that the murderous bandits have no backhand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li An and several subordinates rode horses, and 130 soldiers of the reconnaissance team opened the way in front, the soldiers of the first combat regiment were fully responsible for escorting the bandit prisoners, and the second combat regiment was responsible for the rear of the palace.

The procession was two miles long, looking like a long snake that was winding.

"General, many people outside Luzhou City are gathered at the gate of the city."

Of course, Li An also saw it, needless to say, these people gathered outside the city gate must have gone out of the city to welcome the soldiers of the Pingnan Army, and the Pingnan Army fought such a beautiful battle, and the joy in the hearts of the people is needless to say.

"Pass the order, let the soldiers cheer up and accept the review of the people of Luzhou City."

"Yes, General."

"All the soldiers, cheer up, Luzhou City has arrived."

"All soldiers, cheer up ......"

The general received the order, rode his horse and galloped backwards, conveying Li An's military orders all the way.

More than 800 officers and men of the Pingnan Army immediately refreshed their spirits, lined up in a neat queue, and marched towards Luzhou City.

Outside the city of Luzhou, the soldiers of the Pingnan Army were warmly welcomed by tens of thousands of people, and from time to time there were people in the crowd who gave the food in the basket to the soldiers, but the soldiers insisted on not accepting.

Luzhou Assassin Shi and his officials were almost all present, and all kinds of compliments and compliments made Li An get goosebumps all over his body.

"This is the Pingnan Army, and it is really mighty."

"You know what? The Pingnan Army is all my Luzhou children, and this time to suppress bandits and achieve such a big victory, it really greatly increases the prestige of my Luzhou children! If anyone dares to say that my Luzhou son is a coward, Lao Tzu will definitely beat him to death. ”

"I heard that in this crackdown on bandits, only one soldier was injured, and the rest were unscathed, but the result was the total annihilation of the bandits, and the injured soldier was still a northerner, not a disciple of my Luzhou."

"Oops! It's still my Luzhou kid who is amazing, and he didn't even get hurt, so he really raised his face. ”

"What you said is not right, it should be General Li's command and training is good, have you forgotten that a few years ago, what kind of virtue did our Luzhou children have when they suppressed bandits, and they have become better so quickly."

"Yes, yes, it is General Li who teaches well, if there is no General Li, I am afraid that my children of Luzhou will not be able to achieve such a big victory, but this is enough to prove that my children of Luzhou can be taught, and my children can be taught."

All kinds of compliments surrounded Li An, so that Li An's ears were cocooned, and the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army of Pingping, hearing the encouragement of their hometown fathers, were also full of pride, and Nan Jiyun, who only had his arms tied up, was a little depressed.

This time in the raid on the bandits' lair, everyone was unscathed, and he was the only one who was injured, and the bandaged arm stood out in the crowd, so that people could tell that the wounded soldier was him.

Especially the sentence 'The only wounded soldier was a northerner.' These words stimulated Nan Jiyun a lot, making him feel that he had embarrassed his fathers and villagers in the north, but fortunately his fathers and villagers were not here, otherwise, he would really have to find a crack to get into.

"Nan Jiyun, don't be frustrated, this raid on the bandits' lair has just begun, and there are many bandits in Luzhou? Your reconnaissance team is the elite division of my Pingnan Army, and when you fight again in the future, you will just need to save face. ”

Li An opened his mouth to comfort him.

"General, the last general is just blaming himself, why am I so careless, my ability is no worse than anyone else, why am I the only one who was injured?"

Nan Jiyun still felt very annoyed.

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Nan Jiyun: "The reason is very simple, you are too arrogant and arrogant, you only think about meritorious service when you go to the battlefield, and your mind is not calm enough, by the way, you have made a great contribution by cutting down and killing many bandits with your own hands, and you will get the most reward, so you will be injured and suffer a little, but it is not a grievance." ”

Nan Jiyun: "......"

After the warm welcome ceremony, Li An handed over the 157 bandits who had been taken prisoner to the local officials in Luzhou, and said that these bandits had been rampant for many years and must have committed many crimes, causing great losses to the people of Luzhou.

The Luzhou assassin Shi understood and immediately said that he would first conduct an interrogation, and then carry out a public execution, so that the people could see what happened to being bandits.

Due to the large number of people gathered outside the city gate, the Luzhou assassin decided to interrogate these bandits in front of many people outside the city gate, and after the interrogation, they were directly executed outside the city.

The administrative ability of the Luzhou officials was still quite efficient, and after the interrogation, the 157 bandits either confessed their guilt or begged for mercy, and none of them cried out for injustice.

In normal times, these officials may have a tendency to be powerful in the minds of the people, but at this moment, when interrogating the bandits, their image has become extremely tall and majestic, and the image of a parent official who is in charge of the people is dazzling on the paper.

The interrogation was soon over, and all the bandits, from the bandit leader down, were convicted of various crimes, and all of them were capital crimes.

All the onlookers had no objection to the conviction, after all, they all hated the bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests, these bandits had been entrenched in the mountains and forests for a long time, and they had brought losses to a greater or lesser extent.

"Over the years, the bandits in the mountains have been rumored to be gods, and now they are tied to the pillars, and that's it! Look, what about those who weep bitterly? ”

"That's right, the bandits were also born by their parents, and they didn't pop out of the cracks in the stones, and they were about to be killed, can you not be afraid?"

"These hateful bandits have occupied all the mountains in Luzhou, and we can't even go up to the mountains to hunt, we should be killed, these bandits should be killed."

"This time, the Pingnan Army can even serve the lair of this group of bandits, and the rest of the bandits are not a problem, and the elimination of the Luzhou bandits is just around the corner."

"Yes! Oh, yes! We are waiting for this day, when all the bandits are eliminated and we have a good life. ”

The onlookers were full of trust and expectation for the Pingnan Army, and they believed that the Pingnan Army would definitely be able to exterminate all the bandits in the Luzhou Mountains and let them live a stable life.

Li An and the officers and men of the Pingnan Army, after listening to the words of the people, were all full of pride, and the people's high opinion was both an encouragement and a spur, which could make the officers and men of the Pingnan Army full of passion to continue to suppress bandits.

One hundred and fifty-seven bandits is a large number, and there are not so many executioners in Luzhou City, so it was decided to behead these bandits in batches.

After the execution began, twenty bandits were pushed out from the high platform, tied up and escorted up, and the executioner behind him stretched out his feet and kicked, and the twenty bandits knelt down in unison.

The executioner raised his broadsword and slashed at the bandits' heads, ending the lives of the twenty bandits as the twenty heads rolled to the ground.

Immediately afterward, the second group of bandits was beheaded in the same fate.

The bandits who were beheaded first were better, and the bandits who were waiting to be beheaded later, looking at the heads that rolled off one by one, most of them were so frightened that they peed their pants, leaving tears of fear and remorse.

Of course, there are also some outlaws with tenacious personalities, looking at the rolling heads with indifferent eyes, as if life is not worthy of respect, it doesn't matter whether it is life or death, it is a big deal that eighteen years later, he is a good man again.

The speed of beheading is very fast, in the blink of an eye, one hundred and fifty-seven heads have been cut off, but the onlookers did not disperse, they do not seem to be afraid of this bloody scene, one by one to see with relish, after all, it is the head of the bandits who have done a lot of evil, these people should be killed, they feel very happy.

The reason why Li An sent these bandits to Luzhou City for execution was to publicize the might of the Pingnan Army and let the people of Luzhou City see that the Pingnan Army was very different from the previous Luzhou soldiers and horses, and that the Pingnan Army was a force that could win battles, and it was very good at fighting, and it was able to completely annihilate a group of more than 200 bandits at the cost of zero casualties, so that the people could support this army and get rid of the unfavorable remarks that had appeared in the past.

The second is to indignate the people and enhance the self-confidence of the people of Luzhou, over the years, Luzhou City has suppressed bandits several times, all of which ended in the loss of soldiers, which made the people of Luzhou City talk about bandits, and even, when Li An recruited troops, many people did not dare to join the army, afraid of giving their lives in vain.

Now, Li An publicized the achievements of the Pingnan Army and escorted the captured bandits to Luzhou City, which greatly enhanced the self-confidence of the people of Luzhou, and made the people feel that the bandits were nothing remarkable, and they were completely a group of vulnerable cowards, and they would cry in fear when they were killed.

"General, do you want to say a few words?"

A Luzhou official asked.

Li An nodded, walked on the high platform, kicked away the bandit heads blocking the road at will, looked at the more than 10,000 Luzhou people under the stage, and said loudly: "Folks, this general is the Pingnan general sent by His Majesty to Luzhou, and he was ordered to train troops to suppress the rebellion. ”

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty......"

The onlookers in the audience all shouted excitedly, at this moment, they were extremely admired by Li An, and they believed everything Li An said.

Li An waved his hand, stopped the people, and continued: "Fellow villagers, my Pingnan Army will exterminate all bandits in Luzhou, if anyone knows the location of the bandits' lair, you can report to the general, as long as the news is true, the general will definitely be rewarded." ”

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty......"

Shouts of adoration erupted in the audience again.

Seeing that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, Li An was very satisfied, and after greeting the Luzhou officials for a while, he led the officers and men of the Pingnan Army back to Hulu Valley.

On the way back to Hulu Valley, Li Kunxiong frowned, as if he was thinking about an extremely important matter.

Li An felt curious and asked, "Kunxiong, what are you thinking?" ”

"Big brother, is it really okay for us to hype up last night's brilliant results?"

Li Kunxiong frowned, still worried.

"Why is it not good, this can greatly increase the prestige of my Pingnan Army, and it can also enhance the confidence of the people of Luzhou, which can be described as a lot of wins with one stone!"

Ang Lee explained with a smile.

"Big brother, but in this way, wouldn't the rest of the bandits get the news in advance, so once they are ready, we will not be too easy to win last night's big victory unscathed."

Li Kunxiong said worriedly.

Li An smiled and said with appreciation: "Kunxiong, you can think of this, it really makes me happy, trumpeting the might of our army will indeed make the bandits in Luzhou more vigilant, but this is a disadvantage, the benefits he brings are greater, in addition to what he said in front of the people just now, there are more important benefits." ”

"What's more important?"

"First, our army preaches a great victory, which can better deter the bandits in Luzhou, so that they dare not be presumptuous at will, and dare not bully the people of Luzhou at will. Second, the bandits know that our army has won a big victory, and they will inevitably increase their vigilance, so it will be more difficult for our Pingnan Army to suppress bandits, but if it is easy to suppress bandits every time, what is the point of actual combat training, have you forgotten the original intention of the eldest brother's bandits? That is to exercise the combat capability of the Pingnan Army, the bandits' lair is the training ground of our Pingnan Army, the more vigilant the bandits are, the more conducive it is for our Pingnan Army to train real good soldiers, understand. ”

Li Ang said with a smile.

"Ahh How did I forget that? The bandits are used to train the Pingnan Army, big brother, I understand, hehe! ”

Li An smiled and looked in the direction of due south: "The situation in the land is still not optimistic, the Pingnan Army must step up training, and actual combat training is even more indispensable, starting tomorrow, the Pingnan Army will crack down on the bandit forces in batches, and use the bandit suppression to improve the combat ability of the soldiers." ”

"Big brother, let me lead the way."

"I'm afraid you're impulsive, can you really do it?"

"Big brother, I will not let you down, I have seen the strength of the Pingnan Army with my own eyes, and it is not a problem to suppress bandits."

Li Kunxiong demanded it vigorously.

Li An smiled, nodded and said: "It's not a problem for you to lead the troops, but you have to find the bandits' lair first, if you can't find the lair, such a big mountain, where are you going to fight the bandits?" ”

"What the eldest brother said is, find the bandits' lair first, and then fight when you find it, hehe!"

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth and ordered loudly: "The whole army is speeding up. ”

More than 800 soldiers of the Pingnan Army heard the order and accelerated towards the gourd valley.

Because of the hard work of the raid on the bandits' lair last night, they only slept for a few hours this morning, so these officers and men of the Pingnan Army who participated in the battle, after returning to Hulu Valley, did not participate in training, but rested for a day and started training again the next day.

Of course, Li An couldn't be idle, he first went to the gold mines of the East Valley, and after confirming that everything was normal, he went to the cell of the Middle Valley, ready to have a good chat with the five captured bandits. (To be continued.) )
