Chapter 32: The Dangerous Village in the Mountains (Seeking Collection and Recommendation Votes)

"Han Xianggong, which Han Xianggong?" Du Zhongpeng had just been woken up, still a little confused, and asked casually.

"County Zun, there is a Han Xianggong in the northwest!" The official replied.

"Ahh Be...... It's Han ...... Han Xianggong sent someone here. Du Zhongpeng was a thief, and after reacting to who Han Xianggong was, he suddenly remembered that he helped the wealthy family in the county to plot a rich family's property, forced the other party to hang, and his son was missing, and it was rumored in the county that he went to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint, did he sue Han Xianggong?

The more Du Zhongpeng thought about it, the more frightened he became, his legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall out of bed.

But then he thought something was wrong! What kind of person is Han Xianggong, that is the deputy prime minister of a country, Xuanfu of the Northwest Third Road, how respectful his identity is, even if he knows that he is doing this, he will casually ask Yin Yousi of Jingzhao Mansion below to investigate this matter, and it is impossible to send someone over in person.

Du Zhongpeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, most of the fear in his heart dissipated, his mind calmed down, and he hurriedly got dressed under the service of the concubine, and before he had time to wash, he ran to the front office.

Just when Zhang Bin was waiting impatiently, Du Zhongpeng finally appeared.

Seeing Huanglong County Zun personally go out to greet him, Zhang Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he has made great contributions recently, he has not been awarded an official, nor has a title, let alone a Jinshi, compared with the Huanglong County Order from Jinshi, his identity is much worse.

Therefore, he just asked Huang Mazi to 'knock on the door' with the documents Han Jiang gave him to go to Beijing, and now it seems that the effect is very good, but looking at the county order, it seems that he has palpitations, what is going on......

The next thing went very smoothly, with Han Jiang's banner, plus this is a great achievement in itself, Huanglong County ordered Du Zhongpeng to agree without hesitation, and while sending someone to report to Jingzhao Mansion, he immediately mobilized a thousand soldiers from the county, personally led the team, followed Zhang Bin and his party, and killed the thief's lair that Zhang Bin tortured from the thief before.

…………

…………

It rained heavily last night, and it was a mountain road from Huanglong County to the thief's lair, Du Zhongpeng couldn't ride a horse, he sat in a carriage, and when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the carriage couldn't drive, so he had to get out of the car, led by a box soldier, and he rode on the horse and walked with Zhang Bin.

It's just that it didn't take long to walk, the original mountain road was washed by the torrent formed by the heavy rain last night, although there was no water accumulation, but it left the most common yellow mud on the Loess Plateau, and it was even more troublesome to walk.

Du Zhongpeng is a disciple of Huainan scholars, three years ago he was admitted to the Jinshi, although he was not very old, but he rarely rode a horse before, he was bumped by the horse all the way, and his buttocks hurt.

Zhang Bin's brows suddenly frowned, and he whispered to Du Zhongpeng: "Du County Ling should know why he didn't go to Baishui County instead of going to Baishui County. ”

Du Zhongpeng was rubbing his buttocks, and gloated at the same time: "Needless to say, a nest of thieves is hiding in Baishui County, and the Baishui County Order doesn't know, but how is this possible, hehe, hehe, he's going to be unlucky this time." ”

Zhang Bin kindly reminded: "Du County Order, then you said that if we delay all the way, delay time, and be detected and escaped by the thieves in advance, the Han Xiang Guild will not suspect that there are thieves in our group, and even suspect that we deliberately delay time on the road so that the thieves can escape." ”

Zhang Bin's words were very subtle, but Du Zhongpeng's face changed in fright, he only thought that this was a great achievement, but he didn't expect so much, he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, and said gratefully: "Senator Zhang is worthy of making great contributions, even Han Xianggong values the person, and he is really thoughtful, and the official will order to speed up." ”

There was no need for Zhang Bin to say anything later, under Du Zhongpeng's scolding and leadership, the team stepped on the yellow mud and accelerated its progress.

Under Du Zhongpeng's urging all the way, a thousand soldiers spent a whole day, and it was only in the evening that they came to the valley where the thieves' lair was located.

It may have been raining heavily last night, and a small torrent broke out in the valley, and the thieves thought that no one would enter the mountain, so they didn't send any sentries near the cottage.

Entering the valley, Zhang Bin asked a thousand box soldiers to climb and hide first, and he, Huang Mazi, Li Siwa, and Du Zhongpeng and the battalion commander of the box soldiers made the five people climb to the halfway slope and look into the depths of the valley.

Zhang Bin saw a winding path covered in yellow mud that led to a cottage three or four miles away.

After careful observation of the half-sound, Zhang Bin saw that the layout of this cottage was quite clever.

In addition to the fact that it occupies a rather steep terrain in the valley, the other three sides are close to the steep mountain wall, and even in the direction facing the valley, there is a high and thick stone wall to protect the cottage.

Obviously, this is a cottage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The people of northern Shaanxi are fierce, and there are many bandits and swordsmen who rob the road since ancient times, but there are not many people who are so clever in the old nest, even if they don't know that most of them are Western thieves, just looking at the cottage, they know that they are not ordinary thieves.

In the distance, Zhang Bin and his entourage saw some people going in and out of the walled gate, looking for dry firewood nearby, and some people were cleaning up the yellow mud and stagnant water on the mountain road in front of the cottage.

"Huang Mazi, Li Siwa, how many thieves are there?" Zhang Bin asked.

Huang Mazi and Li Siwa have been scouts for more than 20 years, and they don't need Zhang Bin's orders, they already know it in their hearts at this time, and Huang Mazi immediately replied: "According to the size of the cottage and the number of houses, the number of thieves should be around 500." ”

Li Siwa followed up and said, "The villain thinks there will be no more than five hundred. ”

Zhang Bin knew that there was a specialization in the art industry, and professional things must be trusted by professionals, so he chose to believe the judgment of the two old scouts, and said: "Except for the more than 60 people who robbed and killed me, there will be no more than 500 people in this cottage." ”

Du Zhongpeng rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, this official has brought a thousand men and horses, and it is easy to destroy these thieves." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "Lord Du, most of these people are elite soldiers sent by the Western Thieves, who have been able to harass the grain road in recent years, although they have never blocked the grain road, but they have also burned a lot of grain and grass in the past, or delayed the grain team, it can be seen that these thieves are far more powerful than ordinary bandits, I guess these people's combat power is no worse than the elite soldiers in Dashun City." ”

Du Zhongpeng's expression suddenly became solemn, and there was hesitation and fear on his face, but the commander of the barracks said: "Senator Zhang, our box soldiers in northern Shaanxi are far from being comparable to the county box soldiers in the Central Plains and the south, many people have fought with the western thieves, because they have to deal with the robbery of the western thieves at any time, and even supplement to the border army. ”

"The commander is right." Zhang Bin glanced at the battalion commander, not wanting to hit his confidence, and began to plan and measure how to win this battle in his heart, and to wipe out all the thieves in this cottage as much as possible.
