Near Taiyuan, among the Shanxi General Army Battalion!

After some investigation, Luo Hui and others finally found the camp of the Shanxi General Army.

There were a total of 25,000 people in the town of Shanxi General Army. 15,000 of them were stationed in Taiyuan, and the remaining 10,000 were training in the wild!

It happened to be stationed near Shouyang County, on the way to Taiyuan, and it also saved four people from running to Taiyuan to transfer troops!

On a hill outside the main camp, four men rode on horseback. Seeing the fierce flag, the momentum shook the sky.

Soon a group of soldiers spotted them and surrounded the four.

"Who dares to trespass into the barracks, isn't it a spy!"

Luo Hui showed the official seal of his commander: "This official is the minister sent by the emperor, why don't you go and inform your general army!" ”

When the soldiers looked at the Great Seal, they were skeptical. The chief immediately sent a soldier to the battalion to report.

After a while, Luo Hui heard the sound of horses' hooves. The person who came was a black-faced man in his forties, with a stubborn and resolute face.

He came to Luo Hui with a team of cavalry, and when he saw the official seal in his hand, he knew that it was true.

Guo Yizhong immediately dismounted: "Guo Yizhong, the lowly Shanxi staff general, has seen Lord Qincha!" ”

Luo Hui also motioned for a few people to dismount as a sign of respect: "Don't be polite, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the camp to talk!" ”

Under the leadership of Guo Yizhong, the four of them successfully entered the barracks.

In the barracks, the soldiers were training, sweating like rain, with a steady pace, and the sound of killing shook the sky. It's a completely different scene than those household armies, this is an army, and the household army can only be called a militia!

In the big camp tent, Guo Yizhong didn't dare to sit in his place.

He stood sideways: "I don't know what is the important reason why Lord Qincha is here?" ”

"I'm here for something important!" Luo Hui paused and decided to get straight to the point: "General Guo, Ben Qincha is here to borrow troops!" ”

"Borrowed soldiers?"

As soon as he heard this, Guo Yizhong had a headache: "My lord, borrowing soldiers is such a thing, and the humble position still needs to be reported to General Xu in Taiyuan, and the consent of the general soldier must be obtained!" ”

"No, it's too troublesome, going to Taiyuan will delay a day, and Ben Qincha doesn't need to borrow a lot of soldiers, only two or three thousand people are enough!"

Guo Yizhong's face was suspicious: "My lord, why do you want to borrow so many soldiers?" ”

Luo Hui looked at him and decided to tell the truth, this person is very loyal and not greedy.

"Originally, Ben Qin raised 800,000 military salaries and was going to send them to Governor Sun to fight the thieves, but he didn't want to be robbed by a group of water bandits at Yangquan! General Guo, this matter is urgent, and there is no room for error! ”

Guo Yi thought about it again, 800,000 yuan of silver is indeed a big deal, but he is a general, and there is absolutely no good end for transferring troops privately

"My lord, the water bandits have long wanted to destroy them, but there is no order from the imperial court, and there is no instruction from the general soldier, if the lowly position is to use the army privately, it will be investigated, but the lowly position can not be deserved, so let's do it, the lowly position is willing to go to Taiyuan in person to persuade Xu Zongbing to send troops to suppress the bandits!"

"No! That's too much time."

Luo Hui didn't want to delay for a moment, once this kind of thing was delayed, the 800,000 yuan of silver didn't know where it would flow! If it weren't for the fact that this person was still loyal, he and Zhou Yaowu would have killed him on the spot as Jin Contempt!

Seeing that the two were at an impasse, Wan Bi stood up and took out the official seal of the head of his military department.

"General Guo, I am willing to make a guarantee in the name of the head of the household department!"

As soon as Guo Yizhong saw Wan Bi's official seal of the military department, his attitude immediately changed. If you know that civilian officials, especially those in the military department, are all superiors to their military generals, no one dares to offend them!

The military attaches of the Ming Dynasty are all fighting under the command of civilian officials, and no matter how powerful the military attache is, he can disobey other military attachés, but when he sees the officials of the military department, he must bow his head!

"Since the head of the military department is willing to vouch for it, he is willing to take this risk!"

"Good!"

Luo Hui is overjoyed, this Wanbi has finally played a role!

"However, we must personally lead the army to exterminate these bandits!"

Luo Hui nodded, indicating understanding. After all, this is the soldier he brought out, he has to be responsible, and with his familiarity with the troops, he is naturally handy in command, and he gets twice the result with half the effort!

After making proper preparations, Guo Yijiao gathered 2,000 men and horses, which was half of the cavalry in Shanxi Province. If it weren't for the total annihilation of this gang of bandits, there would be no need to bring such men and horses at all.

Two thousand people and horses set off together, mighty and imposing.

For a moment, the earth trembled.

Shouyang County and Yangquan County are separated by no more than 100 miles, and they can be reached by riding a horse for one day and one night.

In order not to startle the snake, the army slowed down and marched at night, arriving at Yangquan in the early hours of the morning.

The army did not swagger into Yangquan County, but was stationed on a wasteland.

Luo Hui and the others slept for a little for two hours, then left the barracks and went to Yangquan County to inquire about the news.

Yangquan County has been very lively these days, because the bandits in Zhanghewan have come out to buy a lot, and they spend money as if they don't want money!

The shopkeeper of the tailor's shop rushed to make new clothes overnight, the winery also made wine day and night, and the chicken, duck and fish meat in the vegetable market were sold out.

"Have you heard, Lei Heng, the leader of the water bandits, is going to marry a new lady!"

"It's not news, he's been married a few times!"

"This time is different, I heard that girl is very beautiful, Lei Heng is going to hold a grand wedding for her!"

"Hey, these days, the bandits are so arrogant, dare to swagger to the county seat!"

"Hey, you kid be careful, if the bandits hear it, you can bear it!"

Luo Hui and the four of them sat on the tea table, listening to people's chatter.

Gao Shen thought thoughtfully: "My lord, this is a good opportunity, what kind of wedding did Lei Heng hold, then those water bandits naturally gathered together, just giving us a chance to gather and annihilate!" ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying, but I'm afraid that the money will be transferred!"

Gao Shen thought for a moment: "My lord, if we assume that the silver is transferred, where is it most likely to be transferred?" ”

"This gang of water bandits, either they don't know how powerful we are, so they keep the silver in the stockade, if they know our strength, they either take the silver to join King Chuang, or take the silver to the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"

"Yes, we only need to send two groups of men and horses to track down the main road, even if they want to transfer the silver away, it will be very difficult to succeed!"

Luo Hui nodded: "This method is good, foolproof, Yaowu, Gao Shen, after we go back, I will ask General Guo to send two hundred people to follow you down, this batch of silver salaries is very important, and there is absolutely no room for loss!" ”

Zhou Yaowu didn't want to track it at all, but he still wanted to be happy to suppress the bandits.

"I'm gone, who will protect you!"

"You don't have to worry about this, General Guo has not received capture with 2,000 people to deal with 1,000 water bandits, if he can't do it, he is not worthy of being a general of the Ming Dynasty!"
