Chapter 179: The Situation in Luzhou
After some discussion, the anger on Yuan Biao's face still did not subside, he turned around and strode towards the bandit captain, the frightened other party moved back twice in a row, and a face that had just been stretched out suddenly twisted together, and he begged for mercy again and again: "Grandpa, grandpa!" I was wrong, I was really wrong! Don't fight, don't fight! ”
"Shut up!!" Yuan Biao blushed and shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes. I shut up. The bandit lieutenant nodded in response, and his voice became smaller and smaller, but the tears in the corners of his eyes kept pouring out.
"From now on, I'll ask, you answer, if you hurry up and say more nonsense, Lao Tzu will chop you immediately!" Yuan Biao fiercely pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, pointed at the other party and shouted.
"Yes, yes. The little ones don't dare, they don't dare. When he saw Yuan Biao hand over an inch of horizontal knife forward, the bandit lieutenant hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, but his head was still on point.
"Since you are the commander of Luzhou, you should understand the distribution of troops in Luzhou and the current situation! Tell me everything you know, and tell me in detail! If you let Lao Tzu know that you deliberately said something wrong, hum! Yuan Biao shook the horizontal knife in front of the other party, and the meaning of the threat was self-evident.
"This..." The bandit lieutenant didn't seem to expect that the other party was playing Luzhou's idea at all, and he was immediately speechless. However, after listening to the question, the bandit lieutenant was also a little relieved in his heart, and suddenly understood that the group of people in front of him was not a dart master at all, let alone a caravan, and the pain caused by the death and injury just now was slightly reduced.
Suddenly, a notice appeared in front of the bandit commander, which was a notice that he had shown to senior officials and generals a few days ago when he was in the Luzhou Assassin's Mansion. The notice was issued by Zhongwu Hou, the commander of the Fengjia Army who had just conquered Chengdu Mansion, but it was stamped with the seal of the Tang Emperor.
The general content is that the Fengjia army is bound to exterminate the rebels in Jiannan Province, and I hope that the officials of all states and counties in Jiannan Province can fully cooperate, and they will be rewarded for their merits, and they will be severely punished, and I hope that the officials of all states and counties will consider it in detail.
Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed in the mind of the bandit lieutenant, who had been rampant in Luzhou for more than ten years, and he naturally knew the forces of all parties, whether it was the military or the bandits, in his memory, there was no team with the murderous aura of these people in front of him, let alone the momentum of oppressing everything.
In his opinion, now that he has become an officer in Luzhou, the whole Luzhou is his "mountain", and his heart is still unwilling to have a foreign force rampant on his land, especially the identity of the other party is not clear.
As if seeing the inner struggle of the bandit captain, Chen Wansan grabbed Yuan Biao, who was about to get angry, took out the blood-red pentagonal maple badge given by Lin Feng before leaving from his arms, opened his palm, handed it to the bandit captain, and asked with a chuckle: "This, do you recognize it?" ”
"This..." The bandit lieutenant didn't react for a while, and subconsciously reached out to get it, but Chen Wansan dodged in time and failed to let him get it.
However, in the next moment, the bandit captain's pupils contracted violently, and his mouth followed Boss Zhang's closely, slowly raising his face full of surprise, staring at Yuan Biao and Chen Wansan back and forth, and stammering and asking: "You, you, you are, yes, it is the Feng family's army..?" ”
"Oh, it looks like you're not stupid!" Chen Wansan already understood when he saw the other party's expression, slowly took the pentagonal maple badge back into his arms, nodded at the other party appreciatively, and chuckled: "Since you already know everything, let's talk about the current situation in Luzhou!" ”
"I..." The bandit lieutenant's thoughts did not turn very fast, and after a long pause, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, he had already figured it out, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape today. And he also heard some connotations from Chen Wansan's words, and knew that if he didn't explain it clearly today, he would definitely die in this wilderness and become the stomach of the jackal. If he said some useful information, maybe the other party would spare his life, after all, in his eyes, Chen Wansan in front of him was not as savage and murderous as Yuan Biao on the side.
"Luzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, namely Luzhou, Fuyi, Jiang'an, Hejiang and Mianshui. Among them, Luzhou County has the largest population, and it is also the richest and strongest of the five counties, and the current garrison is about 800 to 1,000 people. In the remaining four counties, the garrison strength is about five or six hundred, and it is said that Mianshui County has the smallest number of troops, only less than four hundred. And Luzhou has now recruited nearly 4,000 people, and there are a total of five lieutenants like me with nearly 1,000 brothers, and there are two five-rank Zhonglang generals above, who are directly dispatched by the Luzhou Assassin History. By the way, there is no general in Luzhou, and it is temporarily led by the assassin himself. ”
Without waiting for Yuan Biao's threat to be issued again, the bandit lieutenant poured beans and said everything he had learned, and at the end, the bandit lieutenant frowned, and stopped talking: "But... ”
Chen Wansan saw the other party's concerns at a glance, nodded with a smile, and encouraged: "That's right!" Go on, what to say, as long as it's right, it's okay! ”
"Hmm." The bandit lieutenant cautiously glanced at Yuan Biao, and saw that the other party's complexion had eased, so he took a deep breath and continued to add: "But now the situation in Luzhou is very chaotic, and the Luzhou Assassin and the county orders of the five counties don't seem to be very compatible, and this Assassin has only been transferred in recent years, to be honest, I don't think he is a good official." Among them, the county order of Luzhou County is the descendant team of the Luzhou Assassin History, while the county orders of the other four counties are different, they are all local parent officials, and they have been in office for a long time, and they don't seem to agree much with this conscription and food, but the Luzhou Assassin has a heavy army in his hands, and they have to do things according to the order. ”
"Oh? It's quite interesting, the county order and the history of the assassin are right? Chen Wansan smiled faintly, glanced at Yuan Biao, looked at the bandit lieutenant with interest, and raised his head to signal: "Tell me, what do you know?" ”
"Actually, I don't know much, and it's not necessarily right." The bandit lieutenant was afraid of saying something wrong, so he left a way back for himself before continuing to speak slowly: "As you can see on the surface, the county order of Mianshui County is called Zhao Xingjie, don't look at the fact that there are only four hundred guards in Mianshui County, but in case of war, I dare to guarantee that the county order Zhao Xingjie will be able to gather at least one thousand and five brave people in the city." If it is to guard the county seat, I am afraid that it will not be difficult to gather 5,000 men, women, and children! ”
Feeling a light in their eyes, Chen Wansan and Yuan Biao looked at each other and smiled, to their surprise, they didn't expect to get so much useful information from the mouth of this bandit captain. Even Yuan Biao unconsciously inserted the horizontal knife in his hand back into the scabbard, raised his head at the bandit lieutenant who was still kneeling on the ground, and signaled to get up, and at the same time asked, "Get up and speak, what's your name?" ”
