Originally.

The other officers and soldiers knew that the bandit had been defeated this time after seeing Deputy General Huang fleeing, and they all ran out desperately.

After Deputy General Huang was captured, the morale of the army was even more discouraged, and even Han Hai had to retreat.

Luan Qianhu has already run home.

But what these officers and soldiers didn't expect was that when they scattered and fled to the river, they found that the mountain bandits did not chase them.

Some officers and soldiers looked back and saw that Lu Yuan's officers and men had already fought fiercely with the bandits.

Originally, these officers and soldiers still wanted to continue to run, and they also wanted to take advantage of the fierce battle between the officers and soldiers who landed far away and the mountain bandits, so as to avoid greater losses.

But soon, these officers and soldiers found out that Lu Yuan had actually defeated these mountain bandits, and he was still frantically pursuing these mountain bandits.

But.

These officers and soldiers didn't dare to chase after them, after all, they were already frightened, and they didn't dare to really fight these mountain bandits.

These officers and soldiers did not leave, they only waited and watched the situation in place, if the mountain bandits were really defeated, they would follow them to make a fortune in the mountains, if they were not defeated by Lu Yuan and chased out, then they could escape immediately again.

And when these officers and soldiers knew that these mountain bandits had been defeated, that even the bandits' capital had been captured alive, and that even the deputy commander-in-chief had been rescued, they all rushed over, anxious to get rich.

Han Hai was the same, he had already forgotten about his previous despise on Lu Yuan and made sarcastic remarks, only knowing that he now had to go up the mountain with the deputy chief soldier to take possession of all the looting gains of this group of mountain bandits over the years.

Deputy General Huang saw that Han Hai and other officers and soldiers were coming, so he had the confidence to prepare to go up the mountain.

But at this time, there were shooting and shouting from the mountains, and it didn't take long for Lu Yuan's people to come down to report that there were still many mountain bandits above, and Lu Yuan was fighting fiercely with the mountain bandits, and he had to ask for support from these other officers and soldiers.

When Deputy General Huang heard this, he was breathless, hesitated a little, and asked the generals present: "Which of you is willing to lead the troops to support General Lu?" ”

"Dashuai, your personal guard has suffered heavy losses, and he is no longer able to support Lu Zongqi."

Han Hai replied.

Lu Qianhu also stood up: "Commander, our department has also suffered heavy losses, and we are unable to fight again." ”

Ma Qianhu also said: "In this battle, our troops also suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and they were no longer able to fight. ”

Deputy General Huang was a little angry, thinking that no one dared to rush forward now.

But Deputy General Huang didn't have the confidence to rush up to support Lu Yuan now, especially when he saw a large group of mountain bandits running from the opposite path, and a small pair of Lu Yuan's soldiers and horses were pursuing, he didn't dare even more, because he estimated that that group of mountain bandits was not a simple mountain bandit at first glance, it was obviously a bandit.

The key is that one team after another team came, so that Deputy General Huang couldn't figure out how many mountain bandits there were on the mountain.

I waited about an hour.

When it's dark.

After there was no sound around, the deputy chief soldier Huang dared to go up the mountain, and he asked Uncle Fei to escort the officers and soldiers of the mighty army all the way.

As soon as Deputy General Huang and other officers and soldiers arrived at the bandits' den.

Like a flock of hungry pigs, they frantically rushed into the bandits' dens and rummaged through the cabinets.

Some officers and soldiers laughed, looking at the corpses of the mountain bandits all over the ground, they were no longer afraid but excited, because they believed that these mountain bandits were really defeated, and the next thing was for them to get rich.

In short, these officers and soldiers are no different from bandits at the moment.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly said, no wonder the history books describe the officers and soldiers who crossed the border as bandits at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Dashuai, there are no women!"

Han Hai walked up to Deputy General Huang and said a word, and tied his belt back again, and glanced at Lu Yuan with some disappointment, he suspected that Lu Yuan hid these women, after all, how could there be a bandit den that did not hide the looted women.

And many of these robbed women are the daughters of large families, and it is difficult to get them as officials and soldiers in peacetime, so when they suppress bandits, they have the opportunity to enjoy them once after they are robbed by bandits.

"Handsome, there is no property!"

Lu Qianhu said.

Deputy Chief Huang's expression became solemn, and he asked, "Do you see a copper mine?" ”

Ma Qianhu, who also came over, shook his head: "I didn't see the copper mine. ”

Deputy General Manager Huang looked at Lu Yuan: "I'm asking Lu Yuan!" ”

Lu Yuan pretended to be puzzled, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Dashuai, Xia Guan doesn't know what copper mines, Xia Guan has been fighting with mountain bandits all afternoon, and he hasn't had time to check what is in this bandit's den, but there are a few women, but they all ran away, Xia Guan knows that they are all good women who have been robbed, so he didn't embarrass them!" ”

Han Hai was a little depressed, thinking that this Lu Yuan was not a monk, what a good woman! It's all ruined by the mountain bandits, and it's useless to keep it, so it's actually put back!

But.

Deputy General Huang didn't care about this, he was more concerned about his batch of copper ore and a sum of silver that was ready to be sold.

Therefore, when Deputy General Huang saw Lu Yuan's denial, his expression naturally became even more unkind, and he pointed to the corpse of the bandit leader and asked, "What's going on, was this bandit leader caught alive by you, and why was he beheaded again?" ”

"Xiaguan was about to report this matter to the master, Xiaguan didn't expect this bandit leader to be so cunning, there are hundreds of mountain bandits hidden in this bandit's den, and all of them are brave, and this word eyebrow also took the opportunity to escape, and took these bandits to fight fiercely with Xiaguan, Xiaguan fought desperately, so that these mountain bandits were defeated, but they still let them rob the goods, but Xiaguan sent someone to chase them."

Lu Yuan replied.

"You fart! Since this word is going to ambush us in the valley, how can you hide so many mountain bandits in the bandits' den, you are obviously deceiving our handsome! ”

Han Hai roared, and then said to Deputy General Huang: "Dashuai, I think this Lu Yuan is talking nonsense, he must have embezzled the goods!" ”

Lu Qianhu and Ma Qianhu echoed: "Dashuai, the lower officials and others also think so, this matter is strange, and it should be carefully investigated." ”

"Marshal, and all the adults, just look at the corpses on the ground, these are the results of the desperate battle of the army under the command of the lower official!"

Lu Yuan said.

"Who believes! Who knows if you deliberately killed them! ”

Han Hai asked.

Deputy General Huang also looked at Lu Yuan very sternly: "Lu Yuan, you tell the truth to this official, what the hell is going on?!" ”

"The lower official has already reported!"

Lu Yuan replied, not showing weakness.

And Han Hai and the other officers of the guard station were naturally even more annoyed because of this, after all, they rushed up, but they didn't get the slightest benefit.
