In the course of a month, two bandits were dealt with, and in two completely opposite ways, which was a great encouragement to Li Xin.

At this time, he finally freed his hands and began to deal with the remaining two bandits.

The extermination of locusts is already on the right track, so Li Xin no longer has to run to the fields every day to blow the cold wind! Every day, I spend most of my time working in the government office, and I go out every few days to have a look.

"General, the last general is here to give orders!" In the official office, Peng Lin had just arrived.

"Well, sit down! This time, you did a good job in Hedong! We were able to take over the salt pond in Hedong so calmly and quickly, and your 3,000 cavalry played a great role. Li Xin nodded and said in appreciation.

"Those salt merchants in Hedong, although they are not small, they are full of scruples after all. They have a lot of ideas in their hearts, so they naturally don't dare to really start a war with us, otherwise, once the fight starts, they are afraid that all their wealth will turn into ashes! Peng Lin said.

He has been in Hedong for more than a month, and he can see this very clearly. When he was stationed at the edge of the salt pond, the salt merchants had visited him for a banquet, apparently trying to get in touch with him. But in the end, he rejected it.

Because, he knew very well that if these salt merchants wanted to use other means to prevent the Huashan Army from recovering the salt pond, it was impossible.

Let's not say that this is something that Li Xin has decided, basically no one can change it! Even the matter of recovering the salt pond is in line with the overall interests of the Huashan Army, and it is impossible for him to get involved in it, and act against Li Xin's intentions.

He always understood that he was a member of the Huashan Army! It is connected with the entire Huashan Army. I still remember that I was still a prisoner at the beginning, if it wasn't for Li Xin and Hua Shanjun giving me a chance, how could I have myself today.

"Yes! They have too many things, so they have a lot of scruples. Once people look ahead and look backward, they can't do anything, or in other words, they don't dare to do anything! Regarding Peng Lin's statement, Li Xin agrees very much.

"What the general said is right!"

"Your cavalry has been resting for a while, and I'm going to send you out on a mission. All things considered, this could be the last action of the year. Li Xin looked at him, and then said.

"Please give the order of the general!" Peng Lin stood up and said.

"There is a group of horse bandits over there in Xiayang, about 800 people! These guys, in the past, used to go in and out of the customs to rob the people. Recently, although it has been a little less, in the northwest of Xiayang, the land of Shangjun is still arrogant. Since the beginning of winter, in order to store winter materials, they have appeared outside the boundaries of Xiayang County many times, as if they were tentative. Come to think of it, once they really reach the time of crisis, they will definitely not scruple so much, and they may enter the customs to rob the people at that time. ”

"What does the general mean by letting the last general lead the troops to clear up?"

"Yes, I have already found out the situation of the other party. This group of horse bandits is more special, because there are no old and weak women and children among them, and they are basically young and strong men, and many of them are Hu people from the north. These people are fierce and abnormal, their combat power is good, and more importantly, they have many horses in their hands, basically one person, one horse or even two horses. In this way, they come and go like the wind when they move, and even if the idle people find them, they can't catch up! Li Xin said.

"The land of Shangjun is located west of Liangshan and east of Meridian Ridge. The lowest place is the place where the Beiluo water flows. Other than that, there are basically mountains and rivers lined up. Horse bandits are in and out of it~ must be familiar with geography and can hide in the mountains in time with the help of local terrain. If you want to completely wipe it out, I'm afraid it's not so easy! Peng Lin thought for a moment and said.

"Yes! So I'm going to keep it on until you come back, and then I'm ready to do it. This time, you will take 2,000 cavalry with you, and at the same time, I will mobilize the 1,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the east of Fuyuan Pass, together with the 1,000 soldiers and horses transferred from Xinping County, a total of 2,000 foot soldiers, to act with you. ”

"Where are these bandits hiding?"

"Therefore, in the territory of Qianshui County, between the valleys on the east bank of Beiluoshui. This operation is under your unified command. You go down and rest first, and by the way, think about how to act, and the day after tomorrow, you will rush to Fuyuan Pass first! ”

"Yes, the last general will go back and think clearly about the strategy of destroying the enemy!" After saluting, Penlin withdrew.

Shangjun was abolished at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and due to the weakness of the imperial court, the large ~ area around Yan'an in later generations was occupied by the Hu people. Today, the Huashan Army has heavy troops stationed on the front line of Shimen Pass and Fuyuan Pass on the Meridian Ridge, but there are no soldiers and horses on the opposite Liangshan, and only there are defenders in Xiayang County in the south of Shannan.

In addition, to the east of Fuyuan Pass, where the old city of Xiangluo County, which was originally located in Shangjun, a thousand soldiers and horses were stationed to guard against the southward movement of the Hu people in the north. This Xiangluo County is located in the west of Ganquan County in later generations, and is located in the main road to the north and south.

Therefore, if a thousand soldiers and horses are placed here, the road to Guanzhong in Yan'an and other places in northern Shaanxi will basically be blocked. In addition, the Fuyuan Pass and Jiuxian Zhenguan in the west supported the flank, isolating the north of Xiayang and the Loess Plateau in the north.

But now in this circle, there is a gang of horse bandits, if they can't be eliminated, it's like rats in a rice jar.

In normal times, it may not be obvious yet, but once a foreign enemy invades Guanzhong and Hedong, if these horse bandits come out to make trouble at this time, the damage caused may be extraordinary.

However, also because of the problems in this circle, these bandits are basically in a kind of encirclement. This time, if the troops and horses are mobilized again, as long as Peng Lin uses it properly, there is basically no problem, and it should be able to completely eliminate the gang of horse bandits.

Li Xinzhong already had a plan, but he didn't say it, he also wanted to take this opportunity to exercise Peng Lin well.

After all, he was the only general under his command of the cavalry, and he had to be left alone as soon as possible. Otherwise, you can only follow behind yourself in the future~ things, and you will not be able to take on the big responsibility.

At the same time, Hu Tian and others finally led the army back. Originally, they would have come back faster, but because Li Xin wanted to use this to promote it, the journey was much slower.

Along the way, Hu Tian and them made a lot of noise, and many of the captured bandits were escorted to Chang'an. These people are all people who have killed too many people in the past and no longer allow them to surrender, including the leader who criticized Wu Hui at the beginning.

If nothing else, these people will correct the Fa outside Chang'an City to set an example. After all, if you want to be intimidated, how can you rely on rewards alone? As the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, this chicken must be killed, otherwise, there will be no deterrent at all!

On November 23, the weather was sunny, and there was some light snow two days ago. On this day, there were a lot of people outside Chang'an City, and everyone came to see the public trial of the robbers.

This matter was personally presided over by Wang Meng as Jing Zhaoyin, and after the indictment was read out, with his order, these bandits who killed the people were in a different place. The surrounding people were applauding, especially some people who came from Yongxian and other places, and they shouted the loudest.

When it was lively outside the city, Li Xin in the city was rewarding Wu Hui and them. For these people, they were rewarded with fields, and there were also a lot of grain cloths. The sunspots all happily went back to their hometowns, and Wu Hui was left behind! After this battle, Li Erhei did not break his promise, and indeed gave him the first credit.

"General Li's official document makes it very clear that you have the greatest credit for being able to pacify the Hu bandits this time! What rewards do you want? If you want to talk about fields, you already have a lot of them at home, and things like grain and cloth are nothing to you! Li Xin looked at Wu Hui, who was in awe in front of him, and said with a smile.

Wu Hui's family is still there, although it is said that due to the war in the past, there is not much left in the family, but compared to ordinary people, it is still much more.

"The grass people do not dare to take credit, since they were coerced into bandits in the mountains, they have been frightened every night. What the grass people want to do most now is to go home and reunite with their relatives and live a few days of peace! Hearing this, Wu Hui hurriedly said.

"You are a real person, okay, since you have been away from home for a long time, I will not keep you, go back to visit your family as soon as possible!" Li Xin quite understood his thoughts, so he didn't say much.

"Thank you for the general's mercy, the grass people retire!" Wu Hui hurriedly thanked.

However, after turning and walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again. Seeing him like this, Li Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Do you have anything to say?" Li asked with confidence.

"Yes, when the grass people rushed to Chang'an before, they saw that the people along the way were deep ploughing the ground, full of enthusiasm. It's just that most of the people used are just manpower, ploughing cattle and pack horses, etc., rarely seen, and they are extremely unchanged! Wu Hui seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said.

"There is no way to do this, under the years of war, the cattle and horses in Guanzhong have been lost! Now I can only settle for a while, and this problem will have to be solved after all! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little strange, and didn't understand why he suddenly asked this!

"Well, the grass people are not talented, seeing that the general is working hard for this, he is willing to share his worries for the general!" Wu Hui bowed and said.

"Oh? Do you have a solution to this problem? Where did you get your cattle and horses? At this moment, Li Xin finally understood what he meant, and couldn't help but be surprised.
