Tang Potian went to carry out the order to kill the prisoners, and Fan Yongkui here also finished loading the silver, which was less than 500,000, only 400,000 had just emerged, and he was kneeling in front of Chang Yu at the moment with a handful of snot and tears, saying that he would either give him some time to make up again, or offset it with antique jade jewelry at home.

Chang Yu pursed his lips, and said very generously, seeing his sincerity, he didn't think it was too much, so he didn't think it was too much!

Fan Jiaxin didn't say whether he was sincere or not, but he was absolutely obedient, even if the killing in the fort just now shook the sky, no one showed his head to look around, he must have been scared for a long time, he didn't know what happened just now, and even thought that the thief army was infighting.

But Chang Yu also knew that the Fan family was completely destroyed, more than 300 of Li Laiheng's subordinates died here, and the corpses were made into Jingguan, and then how to retaliate in anger can be imagined, if the Fan family does not flee immediately at this time, the grass and trees will definitely not live!

More than 400,000 cars were loaded with 400,000 taels, and the cars were all taken from Fanjiabao, and there was no shortage of big cars for the Fan family to do business.

And he needs to accompany his subordinates to rest, and everyone is tired after a hard battle, even Tang Potian's department.

It's noon, the light snow rises again, the Fan family's family has been released, under the supervision of Jinyiwei, the body is buried next to the official road to do Jingguan, and at this time Tang Potian's men and horses have already entered Fan's Fort to rest, and the wounded soldiers are also being treated.

Fan Ming, the head of the Fan family, had already sobered up once, but he fainted again when he heard that the thief army had taken away 400,000 taels and emptied his family's treasury.

Chang Yu was standing on the castle wall at this time, walking on it against the wind and snow, no one knew what he was thinking, but when he came down, he immediately announced a news, the soldiers who participated in the battle this time would be rewarded with one hundred taels each, and the injured ones would be rewarded with an additional fifty taels, and each of the Tang Potian who picked up the leaks would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

The soldiers couldn't help cheering, this trip was so worth it, the highest income was two hundred and fifty taels, which was something that could not be earned in a lifetime as a soldier.

"Is it too much", Chunxiang asked in a low voice.

"Life is priceless" Chang Yu replied to him, but he silently thought in his heart: It is worth spending twice as much for the sake of people's hearts and morale.

Chang Yu did not dare to stay here for long, because the thieves were all over Jiexiu at this time, and a careless could attract wolves at any time, causing a siege, and the consequences would be unbearable.

As for how the Fan family will deal with the aftermath, this is no longer something he cares about, the so-called dead friends are not dead and poor, what he has to do now is to slip away.

Tang Potian was ordered to catch up with the silver car to escort him back to Taiyuan, Chang Yu led Cheng Ming and other more than 70 horsemen, they changed horses, traveled lightly, and had strong mobility, whether it was blocking the enemy or evacuating, they were at ease, but the number of people was less.

"Return to Taiyuan as fast as possible, in case the thieves follow the snow traces to catch up," Chang Yu reminded Tang Potian before leaving.

"If there are really chasing soldiers, we are just in a big fight" Chunxiang looked proud, as if he had not been happy just now.

Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh Why is this stupid kid so simple, just now he picked more with less, it was all his scheming, plus he used Fanjiabao to ambush and raid to kill the cavalry of the thief leader, and the thief army was caught off guard to have that great victory.

If the two armies face each other and let go of their hands and feet, more than 70 horsemen will resist more than 300 thieves, and it is estimated that they will only escape in the end.

If the thief army knew what was happening here, it would not be three hundred troops, not only thirty or fifty horsemen, but also very likely elite, at this time there is no danger in the wilderness, and it is ridiculous that this point of manpower wants to fight with others, it is a head.

On the official road, looking back at Fanjiabao in Zhangyuan Village, Chang Yu's expression was a little regretful, before leaving, he found that the Fan family had a lot of grain, but it was not as convenient as loading grain, plus there were not enough vehicles in the fort, and more important things, the thief army was on the side, surrounded by wolves, he didn't dare to take risks, so he should hurry up.

Chang Yu led one hundred and twenty horses, ten miles after the silver car escorted by Tang Potian, and sent fast horses to reconnoiter from time to time, and if there were any traces of thieves, they would be sent as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there was no bad news outside Pingyao City, Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it was almost safe after Pingyao, and the thief army generally would not stretch out its tentacles so far.

The silver car continued all the way to the north, but Chang Yu turned around and went to the west, the silver car was escorted by Tang Potian's three hundred military guards, and at this time he was going to reconnoiter the terrain of Jiaocheng.

Jiaocheng is in the north of Fenzhou Mansion, separated by Wenshui County, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji agreed to set up a defense line to stop the thief army here, this city is not far from Pingyao in the northwest straight line distance of dozens of miles, so Chang Yu wants to take the opportunity to explore first.

From Qi County to the west into the eyes of desolation, four wilderness, few cottages, only a narrow dirt road, more than 100 riding horses and snow galloping, the cold wind blows people can not open their eyes.

"There is a small village called Nan'an on the small hill in front of the factory superintendent, and we have our manpower in the village," said an accompanying Jinyi guard spy nearby.

Chang Yu nodded, continued to ride the horse, slowed down in front of the hill, and looked around the hill, in fact, it was a small hill with a radius of two or three miles, overgrown with weeds and dense forests swaying in the wind and snow, and there were more than ten families on the side of the hill.

"This place can be used as a place for ambush soldiers" Cheng Ming leaned over and whispered, Chang Yu nodded slightly and beckoned the Jinyi guard spies, entered the village to say hello to your colleagues, and asked the villagers to leave here quickly, and the spies kowtowed.

The rest of the people continued to move west, but they saw a few small villages on the side of the road, smelling the sound of hooves, dogs barking, and some villagers looked out in panic, Chang Yu signaled to Chunxiang and others, and immediately someone drove the horse to gallop away: "Leave this place quickly within three days, otherwise there may be a military disaster......

The villagers were terrified.

In fact, at this time, if ordinary poor people heard that the thieves were coming, most of them would not panic, but would look forward to it, and would not leave their hometowns at all. Only some local tyrants and squires will grit their teeth and move away, and what is even more ironic is that if they hear that the officers and soldiers are coming, they are like lost dogs, which shows how bad the reputation of the officers and soldiers is.

Nan'an is more than 30 miles away from Jiaocheng, there are three big rivers during the period, all of which are branches of the Fen River, one of which is near the north of Jiaocheng, but at this time the river water is mostly dried up, and it is frozen, and the weeds on both sides of the river are overgrown, and there are no people.

Everyone ran all the way along the bank of the river leading to Jiaocheng, and they saw that they were not more than ten miles away.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the faint sound of shouting from the river in front of him, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, slowed down, and soon someone came to report: There are dozens of people fighting in the river ahead.

"Go and see" Chang Yu said in his mouth, urging the horse to hurry, and rushed to him in a blink of an eye, and saw that in the dry river, there were nearly 30 people fighting with knives, among which there were already wounded, but when he saw them coming, he immediately stopped, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Fence it off"

Chang Yu gave an order, and the troops rushed down the river and surrounded more than 30 people, and the two groups of people who were fighting for their lives just now immediately stood guard back to back.

"Who are you?" Chunxiang opened his mouth and asked.

At this question, the two groups of people who had just been back to back jumped away like springs, pointing at each other with knives, but their eyes looked at the outer cavalry in panic.

But there was no answer.

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "If you don't say anything, you will be shot!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people immediately drew their bows and arrows, and the people who were surrounded were even more frightened.

"Boss, fight for these thieves" A rugged man with a shoulder injury and one hand covering the wound roared at a beard beside him through gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

The beard squinted his eyes: "Let's take a look first, the other party doesn't seem to be familiar with each other!" ”

Chang Yu's ears were sharp, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately realized that it must be that the Ming army did not accept it at night and met the spies of the thief army in a narrow way, so he shouted: "Brother Ming Army, retreat!" ”

Sure enough, when the bearded man heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he shouted to Chang Yu: "It turned out to be my own brother, under Li Xingzu, under General Zhu of Taiyuan Mansion, these more than ten people are thieves and spies."

General Zhu, there is indeed a general surnamed Zhu in Taiyuan Mansion who is Zhu Kongxun, it seems that it is right, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Brothers have worked hard, and retreat to rest."

Immediately, Li Xingzu and more than ten others slowly retreated to the periphery of the cavalry and began to bandage their wounds, and the more than ten thieves in the encirclement were even more frightened.

"There is still a way to survive if you abandon your weapons, and you will die if you resist! You have three breaths to consider, one, two......" Chang Yu sneered

"Three" before the exit, the thieves threw their weapons, the shorter the time, the stronger the oppression, people will subconsciously choose the most real idea of the moment, there is no extra time to struggle, and then in the face of more than 100 cavalry, the result of the confrontation is self-evident.

"Very good" Chang Yu sneered: "Who is the leader?" ”

Then a sturdy man walked out.

"Bundled"

As soon as Chang Yu gave the order, someone dismounted and tied up the sturdy man! The remaining thief was panicked and puzzled.

"Shoot the rest" Chang Yu said lightly, which shocked the rest of the thieves, and they were shot by random arrows before they even had time to react.

"You dog officer, you don't believe in your words, you say you will surrender and not kill! You can't die a good death, Lao Tzu will go to hell......" Seeing the tragic death of his subordinate brother, the head of the strong thief scolded Chang Yu like crazy, but he was tied up to the ground at this time, but it was in vain.

Chang Yu sneered and dismounted, and walked to the thief who was still scolding: "Don't worry, you will die before me" said with a swipe on his chin, and the thief's jaw was dislocated, and he could only let out a sigh.

Immediately Chang Yu walked up to Li Xingzu, the brothers had worked hard, and as he spoke, he checked the injuries of several people, and it was not too serious.

"What do you call this adult?" Li Xingzu's eyes were full of doubts, this team of people were all wrapped in black, and they couldn't see their identities.

Cheng Ming said forward: "This is the father-in-law of Chang Gong, the superintendent of Dongchang"

"Ah, it turned out to be the factory superintendent" Li Xingzu and the others were shocked, and hurriedly got up and saluted, and then felt that something was wrong and wanted to kneel, but Chang Yu stopped him: "Your brothers are not like this, our family doesn't like this vulgar ceremony."

This made Li Xingzu and others even more puzzled, and even flattered, just imagine which of the factory governors is not in power and opposition, and which is not arrogant and domineering and kills people without seeing blood, but they do not accept such warm and courteous words and courtesies from several of them in the army at night, and even call them brothers, which is really surprising.

Chang Yu looked at the more than ten overwhelmed and slightly frightened faces in front of him, and he actually admired it very much in his heart, not collecting at night is the most dangerous branch of the army, it is really the kind of time to walk on the tip of a knife, and I don't know tomorrow after today.

But also because of this, these people are all good at fighting, not boasting or boasting, if Chunxiang and other more than 20 eunuch soldiers fight for their lives against the more than ten people in front of them, Chang Yu will definitely bet on Li Xingzu to win, and it is the kind of win very easily.

"Which of you has silver on you?" Chang Yu turned around suddenly, and after a while, he collected more than fifty taels of silver, and then handed it to Li Xingzu, it was cold, and he bought some wine for the brothers to warm up.

Li Xingzu and the others were a little at a loss for a while, they only felt a warm current in their hearts, and bowed to Chang Yu in unison: "Humble thanks to the factory governor"

"This thief is handed over to you, if you are happy to give him some useful information, you will give him a good time, if he is not happy, you can wait for it, there is really no way to hand it over to the Jinyi Guard, I heard that they are very good."

"The factory superintendent can rest assured that the lowly methods are no worse than those of the Jinyi brothers," Li Xingzu said with a slight smile.

Chang Yu laughed, turned around and turned over and walked away.

Li Xingzu looked at the figure of the cavalry in the distance, then looked at the more than ten corpses next to him, and then looked at the silver in his hand, feeling that everything was not so real, and raised his hand to give the rough man next to him a slap.

The rough man was in pain and covered his face: "Big brother, why are you beating me?" ”。

Li Xingzu smiled: "I'm afraid it's a dream, see if it hurts."

"It hurts, it hurts" The rough man covered his face and laughed, everyone was in a hurry, but the thief at his feet looked numb.
