Chapter 877: Peach Blossom Paradise Horse Thief's Den
The sky is bright, but the rain is also heavier, Chang Yu led three thousand soldiers to finally arrived at the foot of the prince mountain that Orion said, the mountain is higher and stands out among the surrounding reckless peaks, there is a wide valley in the east-west direction on the eastern side of the mountain, there are a few small villages scattered around, many villagers are stopping to watch, I don't know why so many officers and soldiers appeared.
From Linzi into the mountain, all the way south, walked for dozens of miles, walked for a whole afternoon, and then added a night, and finally arrived at the big turn, from here to turn around and face east, twenty-three miles away is Qingzhou City.
"If the mountain road is as flat as in this valley, you will be able to reach the outside of Qingzhou before noon" Li Muxian was drenched into a soup chicken standing on a boulder and looked around, but Orion said: "This good road is only ten miles, and it is a sheep intestine trail to the east......"
Li Muxian hesitated, scolded him in a low voice, and then looked at the little eunuch and smiled: "This is a paradise."
Chang Yu snorted coldly: "It is more appropriate to say that it is a thief's den" As he spoke, he looked at the southside of the mountain, and some buildings loomed in the mountains and forests, which must be the horse thief cottage that the thief said.
"Factory Governor, look at those villagers, they don't look good" Duan Wuhu was by Chang Yu's side all the way and reminded him at this time, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "To be exact, they are also bandits, but they are just wearing the clothes of mountain people to hide people's eyes and ears, and they are really complicit with the thieves on the mountain."
"Outpost?" Duan Wuhu was stunned, and Chang Yu nodded with a sigh.
"Then let's kill them all" Duan Wuhu drew his knife, as long as Chang Yu nodded, he would immediately mobilize people to slaughter the village, but Chang Yu didn't have that mind at this time, and looked at the soldiers who were hiding under the tree to take shelter from the rain and rest, and smiled slightly: "I can't kill it now, who will be killed to serve us."
There are three villages at the foot of the prince mountain, which are located in the southwest and north of the three directions and are not far apart, the one called Zhaiziya Village in the middle of the foot of the mountain is the largest one, and there is a mountain stone wall more than one person high outside the village, at this time, many villagers are braving the rain to watch these officers and soldiers of the soup chicken.
There are bandits entrenched halfway up the mountain, but the villagers at the foot of the mountain live and work in peace and contentment, if there is no relationship between the two, who believes it? At least Chang Yu didn't believe it.
Half a moment later, Duan Wuhu led 20 people with bows and swords on their backs and went straight to the entrance of Zhaiziya Village, directly identifying themselves and shouting to the villagers inside: "We are the officers and soldiers of Gyeonggi, because Qingzhou is surrounded by the Tartars, we have come to help, and we have been exhausted all the way to rest, so please make a fire for the villagers."
The villagers in the village looked at each other but no one accosted him, Duan Wuhu was furious: "Don't pretend, Lao Tzu knows that you are not clean, but now the Tartars are besieging the city and have no time to take care of you, so you can still have some mercy when you make a strong contribution in the future when you settle the accounts, don't provoke my family to raze your village now."
"Master Jun, Master Jun must not be joking, we are all law-abiding people, not thieves" At this time, a person in the village shouted, Duan Wuhu looked up and saw that it was a tall man about forty or fifty years old, so he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"The small one is the village chief (the Ming Dynasty is the armor protection system, and the village and the village are extremely complicated to contain each other, and the village chief is simply used here) Luo Ertang," the man hugged his fists.
Duan Wuhu's patience is limited: "Lao Tzu doesn't care whether you are a thief or a horse bandit now, just let you make a fire and make food, I will leave after eating, or you continue to stay in the village, Lao Tzu will lead the troops to kill and do it yourself!" ”
Luo Ertang didn't say a word of nonsense this time, and immediately asked people to open the door of the village, and summoned the villagers who went to the two villages next to him to make fires and make rice, and even killed chickens and pigs to serve the three thousand military masters.
As for whether it is a horse thief, they are like a mirror in their own hearts, but they don't dare to resist or not, the reason is very simple, this kind of one-person high wall at the foot of the mountain is not dangerous to defend, and it can't stop these 3,000 officers and soldiers at all, even the horse thief's nest halfway up the mountain behind them can't stand so many soldiers and horses attacking because of the steep terrain.
Therefore, peace is precious, and he hurriedly waits for him before the first salute and no soldiers, and he has already opened out that these officers and soldiers are indeed not here to suppress the bandits, how can the officers and soldiers of the bandits give you such a polite consultation, and the news that there is a Tartar siege in Qingzhou City has already spread to the mountains recently, and they also know it, so I believe that this officer and soldier are going to aid Qingzhou City.
If you can't afford to provoke it, then wait for it and send it away quickly.
Therefore, Luo Ertang worked very hard, organizing the mountain people of the three villages to be busy and almost all they did to make soup for Chang Yu's 3,000 soldiers and horses.
It is said that the soldiers were tired from a night of trekking and were bitten by mosquitoes, and the hearts of the soldiers were boiling, and there was a mountain rain, which can be described as extremely embarrassing, who would have thought that there would be such treatment at the foot of this prince's mountain, or in the surrounding woods or cottages to avoid the rain and eat meat and drink soup, and suddenly felt very good.
After taking a turn in the village, Chang Yu also entered the village, and Luo Ertang invited him to rest in the room, but he refused, but stood under a big mountain in the village and looked at the halfway of the Prince Mountain in the south, and it was vaguely seen that someone was peeping.
"Factory Gong, I found some weapons in the village" Guo Ren said in a low voice, Chang Yu nodded slightly, see through it, he is not here to suppress bandits, as long as the other party does not kill himself, he is too lazy to find trouble, not to mention that this kind of mountain people have a complicated identity, and it is very likely that they are horse thieves, but they can't bear to cut it all by one size fits all.
"What is this cottage called, what is the name of the thief and how many people are there?" Chang Yu stared at the halfway up the mountain for a while and asked Luo Ertang, who had been nodding his head beside him.
"Master Jun, there are horse bandits in this mountain, but they rarely go out of the mountains to rob, and they are very good to the surrounding people......" Luo Ertang was interrupted by Guo Ren angrily before he finished speaking: "If the adults ask you, just answer, what is useless to talk so much."
Luo Ertang was surprised: "Yes, yes, yes, there are one hundred and twenty horse thieves on this mountain, and the leader called an arrow to Tianyuan to ask the sky, oh yes, their cottage is called Tianwang Village......"
Chang Yu smiled dumbly, all the names were gone, I am afraid that even the name is fake, hey, Li Zicheng, this Internet celebrity, has damaged how many Green Forest fans.
"Horses in the mountains?" Chang Yu asked again.
"Okay" Luo Ertang hurriedly said: "But you can only go to Erzhai, and the big village on the upper part is on the cliff and cannot go ...... where those thieves are entrenched."
Chang Yu smiled, turned his head to look at Luo Ertang: "Erzhai, Dazhai, then your village is Qianzhai......"
"No, no, no" Luo Ertang hurriedly shook his hand, his face was pale and lifeless: "My lord, we are really just ordinary people, and we have nothing to do with thieves......"
Chang Yu grabbed his hand, looked at Qiao Sanxiu beside him and smiled, Qiao Sanxiu glanced at it and said to Luo Ertang: "You are not an ordinary person, you are a practitioner, and your kung fu is not weak."
Luo Ertang was shocked: "No, no, no, wronged, my lord, the grass people will only make the hoe useless."
"I still want to play tricks on ......" Duan Wuhu shouted angrily, raised his hand and drew his knife, but was stopped by Chang Yu, looked at Luo Ertang and sneered: "This governor has always been true to his word, this time he just passed by and said that if he doesn't kill you, he won't kill you, and he also accepts your hospitality, this governor gives you two months to dissolve the cottage by yourself, otherwise you will enter the mountain to clear it after two months, and the grace period of these two months is to repay your favor."
Luo Ertang lowered his head and was silent, but he was trembling and didn't know whether he was scared or pretended, Chang Yu turned a blind eye and looked around: "Don't do that fluke, thinking that there is a Tartar outside the mountain, the governor will have no time to wait, the governor can chase the Tartar for thousands of miles, so far he can defeat it and drive it away, and there will be time to entertain you when he is left, and he pointed to Li Shiyuan with murderous eyes next to him, I forgot to introduce you, that is Li Shiyuan, the garrison of Qingzhou Mansion, I must have heard of it."
Sure enough, everyone in Qingzhou knew about Li Shiyuan, and Luo Ertang had obviously heard of it, but he looked up in a panic but couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he looked up at Li Shiyuan's murderous gaze, and quickly lowered his head again.
"Please tell the bandits in the mountains, if there is anyone who is lucky within two months, I will wash my head and wait for Li Shoubei to come and behead him" Chang Yu sneered, and walked towards the eaves of a house with his hands behind his back.
"Don't think that my family is just talking, we are the pro-guards in Beijing, Li Zicheng who killed in Taiyuan fled in embarrassment, and Ningyuan outside the Guanxi defeated the 100,000 army of Tartars in a battle, you wait for the bandits, hehe, it's really not enough to see ......" Duan Wuhu was still threatening Luo Ertang in a low voice, but Chang Yu over there quickly changed his clothes and drank a bowl of broth.
