At this time, Lu Zheng continued to observe the movements of the people behind him, and heard the bandits mention Fu Yin and himself, it turned out that the bandits were still talking about whether they would be treated favorably if they surrendered. Lu Zheng wanted to walk over and say something at this time, but he didn't dare to expose himself, for fear of another accident.

At this time, Qi Huan whispered: "We don't know the details of the bandits here, I think it's better to leave here and make plans." ”

Lu Zheng said: "No, this is a good opportunity." ”

"What are you going to do?" Qi Huan's eyes widened.

Lu Zheng said slowly: "Didn't you hear them talking about surrendering?" Since their minds are undecided, I will stir them up. ”

Qi Huan felt that Lu Zheng was too risky, he didn't dare to think about this kind of thing, but Lu Zheng insisted on doing this, after all, the bandits were not easy to speak, and it was possible to act rashly.

After that, before Qi Huan could react, Lu Zheng rushed up, and Qi Huanda just sighed behind him: "This time you want to make trouble again." ”

So Liu Dayuan followed Lu Zheng closely, and when several thieves saw someone rushing up, they hurriedly stood up and pulled out their swords, at this time Lu Zheng slowed down and said, "Do you recognize me?" ”

The thief who was released by Lu Zheng suddenly said clearly: "Grace and righteousness, I don't dare to forget it for a moment." ”

Seeing this, the other bandits said respectfully: "I've seen Lu Changshi." ”

Lu Zheng saw that the bandits were so respectful at this time, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"We are now planning to surrender to the government, but we are afraid that the government will not keep its promises, after all, we have all done things that are sorry for the people."

Lu Zheng looked at the group of people in front of him, although it is notorious to become bandits, but they still have the heart to repent, they are just forced to get on the thief ship, and now it is also a good opportunity, Lu Zheng wants to unite these people, so he said: "You are originally from this country, I can understand your difficulties, and now the government decree must be known to you, as long as you are obedient now, you can ignore the past suspicions." ”

As soon as Lu Zheng's words came out, those thieves were silent, and they said, "What you say counts?" ”

"Of course it counts, I, Lu Zheng, have to listen to what I say. When the time comes, if Fu Yin wants to embarrass you, I will definitely protect you. ”

The bandit said, "Okay, since Lu Changshi said so, we will swear to serve to the death." ”

Lu Zheng smiled, Qi Huan who was standing on the side was a little surprised, but it was more of his admiration for Lu Zheng, so that these people could be regarded as obedient, and with these people, it would be much easier to go to the bandits' den to investigate.

At this time, Liu Dayuan naturally admired Lu Zheng's courage, and at this time, Lu Zheng was ready to lead these bandits to the bandits' den, but Qi Huan came up to stop him and said: "Do you want Fu Yin to send troops here, after all, we have a few people here." ”

Lu Zheng teased Qi Huan: "What...... Qi She people are afraid, don't worry, we are investigating not directly fighting with bandits, and now the bandits who have not surrendered must have ulterior secrets, we can find out one or two from them, which is good for us. ”

Liu Dayuan also said: "We still listen to Lu Changshi, so don't say anything about the Qishe people." ”

So Lu Zheng, under the guidance of the surrendered bandits, sneaked into the vicinity of a bandit's den, and in the night, Lu Zheng and others lay in the grass to spy on the movements of the bandits. At this time, the bandits' den was very calm, and there were some sentry sentries at the entrance of the cave, but they were also loosely guarded.

At this time, Lu Zheng looked at the entrance of the cave, and had a plan in his heart, he was going to explore the enemy's den at night, so he said to the bandits who had just surrendered: "The time for you to make meritorious contributions has come, you pretend to be the thieves who have not surrendered at this time to go to the cave and kidnap the head of the thieves, I have my own way to recruit all the bandits here." ”

So Lu Zheng gave an order, and after everyone greeted the thieves who were keeping vigil, they entered the cave, and at this time Lu Zheng said to Qi Huan and Liu Dayuan: "I think today's thing can be done, what do you think?" ”

Qi Huan also observed carefully, and said: "I see that these bandits have been lax in the past few days, and now it is the right time for us to come here, if this can be done, I don't see that in January, we will definitely win a big victory by relying on these people to lead the way." ”

Liu Dayuan also felt this way, so he said: "This matter is all thanks to Lu Changshi, if it weren't for the surrender of that person just now, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to find the entrance to the cave." ”

At this time, a fat bandit walked out of the entrance of the cave, this person is the leader of the bandits from all walks of life on this barren mountain, and he also has a brave and reckless habit, at this time Lu Zheng observed the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but say again: "The bandit has taken the bait." ”

The thief leader didn't notice anything under the crowd of those people, and at this time Lu Zheng was about to pull his bow and arrows, Qi Huan hurriedly said after seeing it: "Lu Zheng is slow." ”

As soon as Qi Huan's voice fell, the arrow had already hit the thief's head, and after a scream, the thief's head had already fallen to the ground. Suddenly, the bandits thought that the official army was coming, and they all fled for their lives.

Lu Zheng walked out at this time and said: "The government decrees that if all thieves abandon the dark and return to the light, they can not be held accountable." ”

At this time, many thieves and bandits had already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Lu Zheng saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he continued: "Everyone now go down the mountain and return home in Luoyang City." ”

All the bandits had no intention of resisting at this time, so they went down the mountain according to Lu Zheng's intentions, and Lu Zheng almost didn't need a single soldier to take the largest bandit nest outside the city, which is the tactic of attacking the heart and fighting the bottom.

At this time, there was such a big fluctuation outside the city, and in the government office in Luoyang City, the officials of the palace, the young Yin and Luoyang were all chatting in the courtyard, and one by one they saw that there was a slight improvement now, so they drank and indulged, completely ignoring the thieves outside the city. Some people even said that after the Luoyang disaster is resolved, the bandits will definitely have no place to stand and will all surrender.

At this time, Fu Yin raised his glass and said: "You have also been busy during this time, and the disaster has been alleviated a lot, so as the head of Luoyang officials, I would like to thank you here." ”

At this time, Fu Yin looked around for a week and saw that there were no Lu Zheng and Qi Huan, so he asked, "Why aren't Lu Changshi and Qi Sheren here?" ”

During the banquet, everyone was silent, and suddenly one person said: "Lu Changshi and Qishe people are not in the mansion, they probably went somewhere else." ”

Everyone was skeptical, and at this time, Fu Yin guessed: "Could it be that I went outside the city, Lu Changshi has repeatedly asked me to borrow troops in the past few days, I didn't agree, and it is very likely that I will go outside the city to act alone." If there is an accident with this Lu Zheng, how can I explain it to the imperial court. ”

Fu Yin was a little anxious, but now that he sent someone to find him, he didn't know where he went, Fu Yin thought about it again, and finally said slowly: "We can only wait for the news." ”

At this time, on a deserted street in Luoyang City, Lu Zheng and Qi Huan walked in front, followed by many surrendered bandits, looking at all of them, Lu Zheng said at this time: "Hold on for a while, you will go to the mansion immediately, and I will let my subordinates prepare a place for you to live there." ”

One of the thieves said very gratefully: "Then thank you Lu Changshi, but I am afraid that there are so many of us who need several rooms......

Qi Huan said after hearing this at this time: "Lu Changshi will have a way to do this, you don't have to worry about trivial matters, but I want to say that you must not have the habit of banditry when you enter Luoyang City, otherwise something will happen, and Lu Changshi will not end well." ”

"Please rest assured of this, the brothers are also helpless to do those things, and now they are pulled back on track, how dare they do anything out of the ordinary, as long as they can find a place to stay, I will let the brothers choose to stay, I estimate that many people will go home and take care of the family business again."

Qi Huan nodded silently, and then sighed: "It's not necessarily a good thing to go home and farm. ”

At this time, they had already arrived at the gate of the mansion, and several guards looked at them and said, "How did Lu Changshi bring back so many people." ”

Lu Zheng said to a few guards at this time: "You find a place for these people to live, and this account is settled on my land." ”

Lu Zheng entered the mansion, at this time the lights and shadows in the courtyard flickered, Lu Zheng walked in quickly, and the mansion Yin saw that it was Lu Zheng, so he said: "It turned out to be Lu Changshi, sit down, why didn't you come for a long time?" ”

Lu Zheng didn't sit down, and said directly: "Now that the situation is undecided, why did Fu Yin start to enjoy himself, you are irresponsible for the overall situation." ”

Fu Yin looked at Lu Zheng angrily, so he hurriedly said: "Lu Changshi misunderstood, I don't see that this is any progress, so I wanted to treat the officials, but Lu Changshi was not present." ”

Qi Huan helped Lu Zheng at this time and said, "How can Fu Yin be greedy for such a small merit and miss a big thing?" Lu Changshi went into the enemy's den alone for these things today, and put the thieves in the nest, do you know? ”

Fu Yin was dumbfounded by the question, and at this time Shao Yin stood up and prepared to mediate, but Lu Zheng interrupted: "Forget it, I don't want to have a conflict with Fu Yin, as long as Fu Yin is dedicated to solving the current situation, I won't say anything." ”

At this time, Fu Yin was also embarrassed to let people take things down, and apologized again: "All the things these days still need to be covered by Lu Changshi, and I must listen to Lu Changshi if there is anything now." ”

Lu Zheng saw that this was a good opportunity, so he said: "Now the bandits have been rampant for a few days, I think it is necessary to give them the final blow, today I have heard the information of all the bandits, tomorrow we will sneak up and end the banditry." ”

Fu Yin had no choice but to agree, and this banquet ended unhappily, in fact, in the eyes of other officials, Lu Zheng's arrogance was a little arrogant. But Lu Zheng can only do this, after all, this bandit must be eliminated, and he is bent on making meritorious contributions, so this is a last resort.

Lu Zheng watched the withdrawal of the banquet, and then prepared to walk into his own room, and then Qi Huan came up again and said, "Lu Zheng, you won't do too much, right?" The governor and the officials were just a meal, and they were ruthlessly banned. ”

Lu Zheng said: "Then what else can I do, conniving at them?" The Qishe people must remember that we are officials sent here by the emperor, and in some cases, we still have to have a place for us, and we can't let others call the shots. ”

Qi Huan didn't understand these truths, so he had to reply after thinking about it: "Then listen to Lu Changshi's words." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng said again: "In addition, in a battle tomorrow, our army has a greater chance of winning, you should carefully stare at Fu Yin and other conservative forces, lest these people have any trouble again." ”
