Chapter 64: Entering the Green Tiger Pass

Chen's ruthless Yan Kui didn't know that he was being taken out by Hua Wenzheng with an urgent report, and he was angry and angry.

[Last night, six villages, including Wangjiabao, Guyangzhuang, Qianxi Village, and Houxi Village, were raided by Heifengling, killing and injuring nearly 200 people on the spot, and hundreds of women were taken away by bandits.

"Damn, the surname Luo is provoking us, he knows that the bandit army will not come, and deliberately ransacked the village to provoke us." Huang Dahu took the information in his hand and scolded.

Yan Kui's face next to him was gloomy, and he was about to drip water, he had frequent successes in suppressing bandits some time ago, and the entire Qingyuan and even the surrounding counties knew that the bandits in Chongshan were beaten by him Yan Kui and hid in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

It's only been a long time, less than half a month, and six villages have been ransacked by bandits overnight, isn't this a clear slap in the face of Yan Kui.

"My lord, this matter must not be counted like this, if the county government tolerates Luo Biao's teasing, then the people of the county will lose all the stars, and we have worked hard for so long to fight out a good situation of suppressing bandits, and it has become a joke." Yan Kui got up and shouted at Hua Wenzheng categorically.

Hua Wenzheng's face is also very ugly, the village under his rule was ransacked by bandits, he will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility of this county order, he just showed his face on it some time ago, and now if something goes wrong, this face can become a reality.

What Yan Kui said was very reasonable, and Hua Wenzheng thought it was true in his heart, but he also had his difficulties as a county order.

Where do the soldiers come from?

If it was enough to rely on the five hundred militia groups under Yan Kui alone, the Black Wind Ridge with steep mountains and tight garrisons, he was worried that the bandit army would not be able to open before.........

………

Seeing the embarrassment on Hua Wenzheng's face, Yan Kui's heart moved, and he was generally aware of his worries, and his face couldn't help but become heavy.

Yes, the strength of the Black Wind Ridge is profound, and the leaders can reach thousands of minions, if it is a field battle in the plains, Yan Kui can still take the militia to sacrifice his life, but it occupies a dangerous terrain, Yan Kui can't take these few five hundred militia to attack a cottage that thousands of regular troops may not be able to take.

Huang Dahu next to him looked at the silent Yan Kui and the others, and anger appeared on his face: "You guys are saying something, you can't watch Luo Biao and this guy at ease, but don't forget, this guy may go down the mountain again at any time to loot the village." ”

"Of course not."

Yan Kui replied in a sullen voice, then looked at Hua Wenzheng, and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, the thieves are rampant, although we are not strong enough to enter the mountain to eliminate this thief, we can't let him go down the mountain to loot the people."

Once the militia is stationed here, scouts will be sent out, but the Heifeng Ridge will move, and it will inevitably alarm the militia, and I can immediately send troops to chase and suppress it, so that the thieves will not dare to divide their troops out of the mountain, and the people of Qingyuan can also restore peace. ”

"No, no."

Unexpectedly, Hua Wenzheng actually rejected Yan Kui's proposal, and Hua County Ling asked: "The militia has few soldiers and many Luo bandits. ”

Yan Kui and the militia group pinned the wish of Hua Wenzheng on the merit of suppressing the bandits, and he would rather be sacked more than a dozen villages and be reprimanded by the above, rather than risk Yan Kui and the militia group.........

…………

Hua Wenzheng would rather the people suffer than let Yan Kui take risks, but Yan Kui felt that this risk could be tried.

After all, he is not afraid of fighting with Luo Biao, if Luo Biao really takes the bandits down the mountain to besiege him, he is in harmony with Yan Kui, and he can't even imagine that he can fight to settle Qingyuan's bandits.

Yan Kui and Hua Wenzheng insisted on their own words, and neither of them could convince anyone, so they looked at Huang Dahu next to them.

Wang Dahu looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and smiled bitterly, to be honest, Huang Dahu was very complicated at this time.

If it was only from a personal point of view, Huang Dahu wanted Yan Kui to take a risk, and even thought darkly, he wished that Yan Kui would not come back after planting in Qinghukou.

But if you consider the overall situation, Wang Dahu feels that Yan Kui should not be so radical.

After all, it is no exaggeration to say that Yan Kui has now become the most powerful force in Qingyuan, and before the army of bandits arrives, only Yan Kui can compete with Luo Biao, and even suppress the other party, so that he does not dare to act rashly.

And if Yan Kui makes any mistakes, Huang Dahu doesn't think he can compete with Luo Biao, a bandit, and when the time comes, Qingyuan will let Luo Biao run rampant and horizontal.

Although Huang Dahu didn't like Yan Kui in his heart, he was still clear in front of the big right and wrong, he opened his mouth, and just wanted to support Hua Wenzheng, when the words came to his mouth, he stopped again.

The reason why Huang Dahu stopped was that he thought of one more thing, if Yan Kui led his troops to Qinghukou to block Luo Biao, then the bandits of Heifengling would soon go down the mountain to ransack, and the people in the villages outside the city would suffer.

After all, the militia is stationed in the county seat, and the road is far away, and even if they get the news of the distress, it will be too late to rush to the rescue.

…………

Huang Dahu fell into deep contemplation and entanglement, he is not like Hua Wenzheng, Hua Wenzheng is a noble son, he came to Qingyuan to make political achievements, and he has no emotional entanglement with the people of Qingyuan.

But Huang Dahu is different, he was born in Qingyuan and grew up in Qingyuan, and he still has a lot of feelings for the land under his feet.

But Luo Biao's ransacking of villages is different, the property of several or even a dozen villages, and the lives of thousands or even thousands of people are at stake, and it is impossible for Huang Dahu to be indifferent to this and turn a blind eye.

"I ...... Support the stationing of Qinghukou. ”

In the end, Huang Dahu, who had been struggling for a long time, said his choice, Hua Wen was angry, and Yan Kui glanced at him, neither happy nor disappointed.

However, Huang Dahu's next sentence made Yan Kui couldn't help but show surprise: "It is imperative to station Qinghukou, but it is far from enough to send a militia group."

The lower officials proposed to draw 200 patrols from the four major inspection divisions, 100 from the county government, and then recruit 700 people from various villages, and unite with the militia headquarters with a total of 1,500 people to settle in Qinghukou to deter Heifengling. ”

"Brother Huang........." Yan Kui shouted.

Huang Dahu waved his hand, signaling that he hadn't finished speaking: "In addition, in order to ensure that all departments can be commanded in a unified manner, the lower official proposed that the county lord personally order the formation of a temporary Qingyuan bandit suppression army.........

Speaking of this, Huang Dahu glanced at Yan Kui and bowed his hand to Hua Wenzheng: "Order Yan Kui to be the main general, and the subordinate officer to be the deputy, prepare the soldiers and horses, and send troops to Qinghukou within three days." ”

…………

“………”

Huang Dahu's generous statement, not to mention that Yan Kui was stupid, even Hua Wenzheng looked confused.

He heard it right, Huang Dahu is willing to hand over part of his military power to form a coalition army to suppress bandits, and he is willing to be Yan Kui's deputy, this ...... The sun is coming out of the west today.........

looked at Yan Kui and the others with an unbelievable face. Huang Dahu was a little embarrassed in his heart, thinking that he had made such a big sacrifice, but the two of them had such expressions, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Huang Mou's heart is public, what does it mean to be a virtuous brother and a county lord."

Hua Wenzheng and the others reacted at this time, Yan Kui bowed to Huang Dahu with a serious face, and said sincerely: "In the past, the younger brother was still prejudiced against the eldest brother, but today I saw the eldest brother showing his broad mind for the people, and I knew that my villain's heart won the belly of a gentleman, eldest brother, my younger brother will accompany you today." ”

Huang Dahu waved his hand unnaturally, his family knew his own affairs, and he had thought in his heart that he could hide from Yan Kui, but he couldn't deceive himself, so in the face of Yan Kui's worship, Huang Dahu felt a little awkward.

Hua Wenzheng next to him was also a little impressed by Huang Dahu today, but compared to Yan Kui, who was happy to achieve his goal, he still had a calm in his heart.

"Send troops into the mountains, what about the grain and grass."

Stationed in Qinghukou, but the Qingyuan County Government acted spontaneously, and the imperial court may not distribute this part of the grain, and once the imperial court does not send grain, then the coalition troops stationed in Qinghukou will have to be provided with grain and grass by the county government, which is not a small amount.

You must know that the main purpose of the coalition army stationed in Qinghukou this time is not to fight, but to deter the bandits in Heifengling, so it is likely that the coalition army will last for a long time this time.

1,500 people have to consume several thousand catties of grain every day, and the grain stock of the county government can not be said to support such an army.

…………

Hua Wenzheng said his considerations, Huang Dahu and Yan Kui were silent, and after a long time, Yan Kui spoke: "The militia still has the food and salary sent by the prefecture, which is enough for five hundred militiamen to eat until the new year, so the grain of the militia does not need to be provided by the county government." ”

"And a thousand more." Hua Wen is quiet and quiet.

Huang Dahu rubbed his face vigorously, bared his teeth and said: "The patrol and the yacha have a fixed amount of food, and in addition, I personally contribute to be responsible for another 200 people." ”

"And five hundred." Hua Wen is continuing the quiet road.

Yan Kui smiled bitterly: "Can't the county government squeeze out a little food?" ”

Hua Wenzheng glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Who do you think is the quota of this patrol and the yacha, in addition, every winter, the county government must leave enough money and grain to prevent snow disasters, collapse houses and freeze fields, this money and grain is saved by the people's snow disasters, and no one can move it." ”

"Can't be accommodating?"

"It's impossible, whoever moves, in case something happens in winter, whoever is a county sinner." Hua Wenzheng's attitude is very resolute, this is the bottom line, and it cannot be touched.

Yan Kui said helplessly: "Then you can only find the big families in the city to raise food, this is not a small number, are those people willing to come out." ”

"Of course not."

Huang Dahu sneered: "As long as the bandits don't hit the county seat, they have a few people who care about the lives and deaths of the people outside, and they still scold us for being nosy, this group of pixiu provoked Lao Tzu to lead the troops to rob them for the crime of banditry." ”

"Huh?"

Huang Dahu's words reminded Yan Kui, he groaned for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "I know who to ask for food.........
