In the southeast of Kunyang County, at the confluence of the Ru River and the Sha River, there is a fishing village called 'Hekou Township', because of the geographical location, it once developed into a large township with hundreds of households, and the boats coming and going in the Ru River and the Shahe River often cross here.

However, because of the invasion of the rebel army, Zhao Yu has ordered the county government to relocate the villagers of Hekou Township to the county seat, so this fishing village and the ferry outside the village are also abandoned.

A few days ago, two groups of green forest thieves occupied this fishing village, one of the green forest thieves, led by a man named Guo Bao; And the other green forest thief was led by Zhang Tai's subordinate Diao Sheng.

The two of them, Guo Bao and Diao Sheng, led a total of about 300 green forest thieves to occupy Hekou Township, like waiting for rabbits, along the nearby Shahe River and Ru River, plundering refugees who tried to flee to Kunyang, Xiangcheng and Yingyang.

In just a few days, thousands of refugees were killed, most of the men and the old and weak were killed, leaving only a small number of willing to obey, and most of the women were divided by Guo Bao, Diao Sheng and their men.

And last night, Wang Ping and the other three teams jointly attacked this fishing village.

Just like Miao Liang in Yang Village, Guo Bao and Diao Sheng didn't expect that Kunyang County would send someone to attack them.

You must know that in the battle of Kunyang a while ago, the losses of Kunyang County were not small, and the guards were killed and wounded at least a few thousand, in this case, it was too late for the Kunyang people to defend the county seat, how could they send people to attack them?

It was precisely because of this thought that Guo Bao and Diao Sheng were defenseless at all, and only thought about looting the refugees fleeing north, replenishing the number of servants, and catching some more women for fun by the way, until the Black Tiger Thief launched a sneak attack last night, the two still couldn't believe it.

After all, the green forest thieves are not elite, just a group of rabble, how can there be any possibility of turning defeat into victory, in less than half an hour, the winner has basically been divided, and what happened next is nothing more than the black tiger thief's one-sided slaughter of the green forest thief.

"Black Turban!"

"Black Turban!"

When a little light gradually appeared on the edge of the sky, the green forest thieves, who were only a few dozen people left, screamed like this, and under the drive and pursuit of a group of black tiger thieves, they jumped into the Sand River and Rushui in a panic.

Most of the green forest thieves were born in the south and basically knew how to swim, but most of the black tiger thieves did not know how to swim, so a group of black tiger thieves stood on the shore or held bows and crossbows to shoot arrows at the green forest thieves in the water.

Although the river gradually floated a burst of crimson color, and no green forest thieves emerged from the water, Wang Ping still frowned, and said to the other team next to him: "Most of the green forest thieves know water, and someone should have dived and escaped." ”

The other team is called Le Xing, who is Le Gui's younger brother, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised, and asked casually: "The green forest thief knows the water nature?" How do you know? ”

"Uh......" Wang Ping was speechless for a while, and explained hesitantly: "Do you think, most of the green forest thieves are not southerners?" There are many rivers in the south, and it is natural to know the nature of water. ”

"Oh, I see." Le Xing nodded suddenly in realization, and immediately gave a thumbs up to Wang Ping, praising him: "Clever." ”

"Huh."

Seeing that Lexing was not suspicious, Wang Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "I don't think anyone will be stupid enough to come up on this piece of water, let's go back to that village first." ”

"Okay."

Lexing and Wang Ping returned to Hekou Township with their respective men.

At this time, in Hekou Township, Bao Xin, who had just been promoted to the head of the team, was taking care of the green forest thieves and pseudo-thieves who surrendered to them with Xu Rao, another team leader, until Wang Ping and Le Xing led the team back.

"How?"

Xu Rao nodded towards Wang Ping and Le Xing.

As soon as Wang Ping said about the pursuit, he immediately said with some regret: "I guess I escaped a little." …… These people will definitely flee to the rebels' side, and inform the rebels and the green forest thieves of our whereabouts, so that the other side will start to guard against us. ”

"Prevention is prevention."

Xu Rao spread his hands indifferently, and didn't seem to care very much.

The reason is simple, because their big leaders do not force them to kill an enemy, but even cares for them to flee with their men when the opportunity is not good.

After all, it's mainly harassment and containment.

At this time, Bao Xin spoke: "By the way, what should I do with the leader of the Green Forest Thieves caught by the brothers?" ”

He was talking about Zhang Tai's subordinate Diao Sheng.

Guo Bao and Diao Sheng, the two leaders of the green forest thieves who occupied Hekou Village, were in a room in the village last night, and were chopped to death by the black tiger thieves who rushed into the house on the spot, and Diao Sheng struggled to kill several black tiger thieves who rushed into the house, trying to escape through the window, but unfortunately, he was cut down to the ground by several black tiger thieves halfway.

It's just that this guy shouted 'I am a subordinate of the big leader Zhang Tai' when he was in danger, so those black tiger thieves didn't slaughter this guy as an ordinary minion, but tied him up and twisted it in front of several teams.

"Slaughter it."

Lexing said lightly.

As Legui's younger brother, Wang Qing's group of people, he doesn't attach much importance to human life, especially for green forest thieves.

It's not that he's chivalrous and can't get used to what those green forest thieves do, he just doesn't care.

In fact, most of the Black Tiger Thieves don't care about this, they kill the Green Forest Thieves just because the Green Forest Thieves are their enemies, and only a small part of them are really indignant at what the Green Forest Thieves have done in the past.

For example, Wang Ping.

"Hmm." Wang Ping immediately nodded in agreement.

Following him, Xu Rao shrugged indifferently.

Seeing this, Bao Xin shook his head with a wry smile and persuaded: "I think, it's better to see if you can rebel against this person and let him do something inside." ”

If it were Shi Yuan and Xu Bai, I am afraid that they would not pay attention to Bao Xin's proposal, in their opinion, keeping the group of green forest thieves is just a waste of food, but Wang Ping is less murderous, or rather, his heart is more focused on profits.

"There's no harm in giving it a try." He nodded.

Seeing that Wang Ping nodded and agreed, and Xu Rao and Le Xing didn't care, Bao Xin asked someone to bring the captured Diao Sheng here.

I saw that Diao Sheng, who was less than thirty years old, was tied with a rope on his backhand, his hair was scattered, he was bare-chested, barefoot, and his whole body was covered in mud, mixed with the blood flowing from the wounds in front of his chest, and he looked very embarrassed.

As soon as he saw Wang Ping, Xu Rao, Lexing, and Bao Xin, this Diao Sheng's eyes showed hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Black scarf pawn ......"

"Huh?"

Whether it was Bao Xin and Wang Ping, who were staring at this Diao Sheng, or Xu Rao and Le Xing, who were lying on the side with pillows in their hands, they were all stunned.

Bao Xin asked seemingly amicably, "Black scarf pawn?" Is that what you call us? ”

Diao Sheng didn't answer, and said coldly: "Less nonsense!" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. Since it fell into your hands, Lao Tzu has never thought of living! ”

As soon as he saw the other party's attitude, Bao Xin frowned, and had a hunch that the rebellion might not work.

But he decided to give it a try anyway.

"Not necessarily." He showed a kind smile and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing to defect to my Black Tiger Village, you can confess the whereabouts of other Green Forest Thieves......"

"Whew!"

Before Bao Xin could finish speaking, Diao Sheng spit on Bao Xin's face.

As an old man in the Yangtong period in the cottage, Bao Xin is naturally not like most of the reckless young people in the village, who unmoved and reached out to wipe the saliva from his face, without the slightest anger.

However, the smile on his face was not as kind as Fang Cai.

He said lightly: "If you are not willing to obey, then there is only one death." And when you die, your head will be hung on the wall of the county seat......"

Hearing this, Diao Sheng was not afraid of anger, gritted his teeth and scolded: "You won't have a good end!" Boss Zhang Tai will definitely avenge me, you ......"

Xu Rao was impatient when he heard this, and waved his hand to order several black tiger thieves: "Drag it out and slaughter it." ”

Several black tiger thieves immediately stepped forward and dragged Diao Sheng out, during which Diao Sheng was still scolding, as long as there was a click outside the house, the scolding stopped abruptly.

At this time, Le Xing, who was lying on the side with his hands on his pillow, opened one eye and said seemingly casually: "It seems that the green forest thieves are not all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, this kid still has a little backbone......

He just said casually, and the rest of Bao Xin, Wang Ping, and Xu Rao also listened casually, for the green forest thief, should be killed or killed.

No, seeing that the rebellion failed, Bao Xin also ordered to kill all the green forest thieves who surrendered to them.

Or some people will say, isn't it good to keep those surrendered green forest thieves as slaves and coolies, isn't there a shortage of labor on the Black Tiger Village?

That's true, but it's too much of a hidden danger to keep this group of green forest thieves.

After all, on the side of the Black Tiger Village, most of them are now women and children, and the number is close to a thousand, but the garrison force is only a few two or three hundred people of Guo Da and Chu Yan.

Considering these hidden dangers, these green forest thieves might as well be killed.

As for killing these surrendered Green Forest Thieves, will it cause the Green Forest Thieves not to surrender to the Black Tiger Thieves in the future, Wang Ping, Xu Rao, and Le Xing don't care - if they don't surrender, then kill them all.

Of course, those pseudo-thieves can still stay, after all, these people are also coerced by the Green Forest Thieves, and they are less hostile to the Black Tiger Thieves, and even, they are grateful, although these people may not be of much use.

Killed all the green forest thieves who surrendered, cut off the heads of these people, and Bao Xin, who didn't care much about the merits, offered to take the heads of these people back to Kunyang to make a business, and by the way, bring the recruited pseudo-thieves and women back to Black Tiger Village.

And Wang Ping, Xu Rao, and Le Xing, each with their subordinates, prepared to find a place to hide, during which they sent people to find out the whereabouts of other green forest thieves, and then took people out after nightfall.

Just when these people were separated, Guo Yu and a few of the green forest thieves under Diao Sheng who were lucky enough to survive had fled to the unbuilt rebel camp on the south bank of the Shahe River, asking to see the big leader Zhang Tai and crying about what happened to his group.

"Great Chief, that group of black turban thieves killed all of our people......"

"The big leader, the leader of Miao, was also killed......"

"The big leader, Boss Guo and Brother Diao Sheng were also killed......"

In less than two hours, five groups of people fled back to the south bank and reported to Zhang Tai, who was shocked and angry when he heard it.

That group of damned black turban thieves swept away his four little brothers and one of his subordinates overnight, and the Green Forest Rebels led by him lost a thousand people overnight.

These are all brothers of his rebels, not servants who can be replenished casually.

"Wait and rest assured, I will make those black turban thieves pay!"

After making a heavy oath to win people's hearts, Zhang Tai immediately went to see Huang Kang, the general of the Changsha Army, and told the latter everything that happened last night.

"What? The Black Turban Thief wiped out all five of your teams last night? ”

Huang Kang frowned deeply when he heard this.

Ye County can't afford to provoke him for the time being, and now even Kunyang County has sent people to clear the green forest thieves who crossed the Shahe River, which is not a good phenomenon.
