After listening to the eldest son Zhang Bofen, Uncle Zhang stood up at night, and a roar resounded through the sky: "Shaft, dare to do this!" ”

Zhang Bo bowed down and said: "Father, don't be anxious, the safety of Jeju City now depends on my father, and my father should make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves!" ”

Uncle Zhang stopped his anger at night, glanced at his eldest son with satisfaction, and said, "You quickly go to the military camp and secretly summon Yao Zhongyou, Yang Qi and your younger brother to discuss the matter, the stakes are very high, you must be careful, don't startle the snake!" The messenger was brought up and interrogated for his father, so as not to miss important clues. ”

Jeju City is under military management today, the four gates are closed, and Zhang Zhongxiong personally led an army to guard the four gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. It was said that a large number of Western Xia spies were being arrested in the city, and the people should not walk around or stay on the streets if they had nothing to do, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the military.

Inside the Jeju Terracotta Division.

Zhang Bofen, Yang Qi, and Yao Zhongyou each led their soldiers to divide the army in the camp into several pieces and besiege them. Yao Zhongyou sent cavalry to patrol back and forth in the camp, and kept shouting that a number of Western Xia spies were being arrested in Jeju City, and the sergeants were not allowed to move, and those who made abnormal movements were punished according to the spies and killed on the spot.

Inside the Jeju Prefect's Office.

Almost all the officers were gathered in the hall. Uncle Zhang sat high in the hall at night, and more than a dozen guards on both sides stood in the hall with armor and knives, staring at the officers motionlessly. There were also dozens of sergeants standing around the officers, sword handles in hand, ready to unsheath at any moment, and the public hall was full of murderous atmosphere.

The officers looked at each other, not knowing why the prefect recruited the meeting, and stood in the hall wondering. Wang Bufan and Gao Deming secretly felt that it was not good, and the two sides looked at each other and were bold, silent. Uncle Zhang was relieved to see that the situation had been controlled by himself. He looked around the officers, and a majestic aura filled the hall.

He shouted, "Someone! Will collude with the Liangshan Bo thieves and deliberately rebel against the dog thief King Bufan and Gao Deming to take down! ”

Immediately, the two were tied up by the guards and pushed to the ground.

The two shouted loudly: "The lord has no evidence, so he falsely accused the official of being a thief, and I will not accept it!" ”

The officers whispered, and Huang Liangde, the chief of soldiers and horses, was about to intercede for the two, but before he could speak, he heard Uncle Zhang shout at night: "Two dog thieves, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and you dare to quibble when you die, will this government have no evidence to arrest you?" ”

He ignored the two of them, and turned to the rest of him: "Whoever conspired with the two of them, now stand up and confess, and this government will spare him for his capital crime!" ”

Although some people were nervous, no one stood up.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang sneered and said: "Confess leniently, resist strictly, as long as someone stands up and admits his mistake, the government will let him go, otherwise he will be killed if he finds out!" ”

As he spoke, Uncle Zhang's eyes patrolled around, and a majesty radiated from his eyes, which instantly frightened the two of them, only to see two soldiers kneeling in the hall and saying: "The villain really has no intention of rebelling, it is all caused by the instigation and coercion of Wang Bufan and Gao Deming, two dog thieves, and the adults are aware of it!" Spare your life! ”

At this time, the officers knew that someone was really rebelling, and Huang Liangde was secretly glad that he didn't intercede just now, otherwise how could he say it clearly. Wang Bufan and Gao Deming saw that the matter had been exposed, and there was no point in concealing it, so they could only bow their heads and tremble, thinking about how to explain in order to avoid death.

"There are still people who have not been instigated or coerced by the two thieves, and some stand up, and the government will be punished lightly!"

Uncle Zhang shouted at night, and a few more people knelt in the hall to admit it. Seeing that no one stood up at night, Uncle Zhang shouted loudly: "Someone! Bring witnesses! ”

Immediately, the subordinate who was sent by Wang Bufan to deliver the letter was escorted up, and he cried and shouted: "My lord is clear, it was the king who asked me to go to Liangshanbo to deliver the letter, and the villain doesn't know anything else, I am the one who sent the letter, and the lord spares his life!" ”

"After verification, the government will deal with it impartially, and the government will not wronged a good person, but it will never let go of a bad person! Remembering that you took the initiative to confess your crimes, and you were forced to send a letter, this government has decided to give you a lighter punishment! ”

Wang Bufan is like seeing an oasis in the arid desert, seeing that there is hope of survival, and immediately grasping the life-saving straw. As soon as Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he suddenly cried and shouted, "My lord, spare my life!" The villain was blinded by lard and listened to Shen Rongzu's provocation by the dog thief. The villain really had no intention of colluding with the Liangshanbo anti-thief, and the adults spared the villain's life for the sake of the villain's many years of service to the country! ”

Wang Bufan was still crying on the ground, and two of the officers immediately collapsed to the ground, their psychological defense line was shattered into powder in Wang Bufan's chaos, and the original fantasy of getting through the test in a foolish moment turned into a soap bubble burst. The two of them knelt down and walked to the front of the hall and said, "The villain didn't find out Wang Bufan's wolf ambitions, and they were deceived by him and almost caused a catastrophe. I will know my mistake and hope that my adult will spare my life! "Dream life

Zhang Shuye sneered: "Ren Chang and Xia An are also involved in the rebellion. Just now, the government gave you a chance, but you were lucky and resisted the government. Now seeing that the paper can't contain the fire, he is clever and clever, trying to blame his accomplices and trying to save his life! What is the use of keeping such a traitorous and unrighteous person! Come on, pull it out and cut it! ”

Immediately, two bloody heads were dedicated to the front of the hall, and everyone was shocked. Huang Liangde felt that danger was approaching him, so he knelt down and said: "The villain, as the chief of soldiers and horses, his officers colluded with the Liangshan thieves to rebel, but they didn't know anything, the villain was derelict in his duties, and I hope the adults will be punished!" ”

"The dereliction of duty will be discussed later, now the main thing is to catch the rebels and quell the rebellion! Bring Wang Bufan and other people who participated in the rebellion down for careful interrogation, and be sure to catch all the thieves in the city! Without my order, none of the generals can leave, and everything will be decided after the interrogation! ”

After Zhang Shuye finished speaking, he said to a guard: "You quickly lead people to take down all the old and young people of Shen Rongzu's family, seal the door and lock the house, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the guards who took the order, Uncle Zhang's heart slowly calmed down, and a secret rebellion was finally strangled into infancy. If it weren't for Jang Bofen discovering the clues, secretly visiting, and catching the messenger, how many people in Jeju City would have died in this rebellion.

I, Uncle Zhang, swear here that even if I lose the black yarn, I will change the blood of the officials in Jeju, and even if I lose my head, I will put down the bandits in Yangsanpo!

The rebellion was quickly quelled, and the dust settled. The participants were punished as they deserved, some were forced to do hard labor, some were assassinated, and some had their lives ended.

Yao Zhongyou, the newly appointed commander of the soldiers and horses, was full of spirits, and he gave advice to Uncle Zhang: "My lord, why don't we plan and set up an ambush at the south gate at midnight today, and take the Liangshan thieves by surprise!" ”

Huang Liangde, who was demoted to the commander, also echoed: "Chief Yao has a clever plan, and the lower officials are willing to personally lead an army to ambush outside the south gate, and when the time comes, the thief army will definitely be defeated if they are attacked inside and outside!" ”

Zhang Shuye pondered for a moment and said: "The two generals are sincere for their meritorious service, and their mood is understandable, but the Jeju army has not yet been trained, and it is not a big deal to win at this time, and it may cause the thieves to retaliate frantically." Moreover, the thieves must have spies in the city, and if they know the situation in the city at this time, they may not come tonight! You just need to hold on to the city, don't let the thieves take advantage of it, and don't open the city to fight! ”

"Yes!"

The two of them retreated.

"Uncle Zhang's night is really extraordinary!"

Song Jiang put down the information in his hand and sighed: "With the power of thunder, the rebellion was quickly quelled, and Jeju City did not cause the slightest panic, and the scale was steady, ruthless, and accurate, and the handling was decisive and spicy." He is Liang Shanbo's potential rival, and we have to guard against it! ”

Gongsun Sheng stroked his beard and said: "It seems that as the commander said, there is indeed a fierce tiger lying next to us, and we will have to sleep with our eyes open in the future!" ”

"That's fine! There is a tiger there, and it also sounded the alarm for the entire Liangshanbo, and everyone is highly vigilant to prevent being bitten by him! ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "According to the information from the carrier pigeon, Jeju has strengthened its city defense, and the troops and horses are frequently mobilized. I suspect that Uncle Zhang thinks that we don't know the situation in the city, and is ready to plan an ambush for us tonight. ”

Song Jiang felt that Wu Yong must have some plans, and he looked at the three people: "Isn't the operation canceled?" If we don't go, no matter how many armies Uncle Zhang ambushes in the night, it will be empty of joy. Could it be that the three of you have other plans? ”

The three of them smiled knowingly, and Lin Chong said: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from the commander's eyes, we are ready to plan the plan, pretend that he is in ambush, and use grenades and bows and crossbows to defend strongly." But send more teams on the periphery, go all out, and give them a chicken and egg to beat! ”

"The plan is good, the odds are great! But such casualties are too big for us to fight, and it is not cost-effective! ”

Song Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "We have no experience in fighting with officers and soldiers in positional warfare, and besides, taking Jeju may cause endless crusades from the imperial court. Our main goal now is to preserve our strength and develop steadily, and we should fight with the least sacrifice in exchange for the greatest victory, not fight for attrition! ”

Then he said to Lin Chong: "Division Commander Lin, when you hold a cadre meeting, tell the officers that in the future, try to avoid fighting generals, and gather the strength of the team to win the victory." The general should stay in the position of command, not to charge, no matter how brave a person is, his strength is limited after all. To make full use of the advantages of our firearms to achieve victory, war wants a victorious result, not a heads-up to win face. ”

Lin Chong arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”
