Liu Renyu bid farewell to the officials and squires of Anding County, and together with Liu Wuguo, he led his team to escort Man Tianxing and a group of surrendered thieves, and walked along the official road towards Qingjian County.

Anding County is 120 miles away from Qingjian County, and Liu Renyu plans to complete it in two days. After walking for a day with Liu Wuguo and his men along the Xiuyan River, which flows through Anding and Qingjian counties, he ordered the army to camp by the river.

After setting up camp, Liu Renyu ordered the soldiers to eat first. After eating, he assigned tasks to his subordinates, doing the secret sentry to the dark sentry, standing guard to stand guard, and resting to rest.

As soon as the matter was done, Liu Renyu asked the stars to be brought to his tent, and he wanted to engage in interrogation.

But he said that the starry sky was brought to Liu Renyu's tent, where he was first tied to a cross made of two pieces of wood nailed together, and then looked around in horror to find in front of him an iron basin full of firewood and burning with a red soldering iron in the flames.

Next to the brazier, there was a basin of water, soaked with a horsewhip. Other torture tools, such as tiger chairs, chili peppers, iron skewers for nailing nails, etc., are of a wide variety and style.

When Man Tianxing saw this posture, he was immediately frightened to the point that his face was like earth, his whole body trembled, and he sweated like pulp.

Liu Renyu waited for his men to tie up the starry sky, then stood up from the horse, walked to the basin, took out the whip soaked in water, 'brushed, brushed' twice, and split twice in the air.

Then he walked up to Man Tianxing with an extremely evil smile and said, "Let's ask you something, if you don't answer truthfully, we'll give you all the torture tools here." ”

"Master Jun spares his life, whatever you ask, the little one will answer, if there is half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky."

As soon as Liu Renyu's words fell, Man Tianxing nodded desperately, and then said very sincerely that he was willing to recruit anything.

This is not interesting, Liu Renyu originally pointed to the stars in the sky to be a little tougher, and said something like 'kill me, I won't say it', Liu Renyu can also use a little torture and have a good time.

I didn't want to be full of stars, a guy who kills people without blinking, but he is such a pustule, Liu Renyu said that he would do it all before he was tortured.

So Liu Renyu, who was extremely depressed, had no choice but to ask angrily: "Let me ask you, what is your bandit name?" ”

"The villain's bandit number is full of stars."

"What is your position under Wang Jiayin?"

"The villain is a captain."

"How many people do you have?"

"There are 300 people under the villain"

"How many captains are there like you?"

"When I came back from Shanxi, there were more than 100 of them, and when I entered Shaanxi, there were more than 100 of them."

"How many people does Wang Jiayin have in his hands?"

"This! I heard that there were 40,000 people. ”

"I heard that there are 40,000 people!? How many of you there are, is it not clear to you? ”

"Don't talk about villains, even if it's a big king, ah, no, no, even Wang Jiayin doesn't know, because we used to have 30,000 people, which is very clear, and then every time a new recruit joins, I will report how many people there are, and we will add them, and we don't know how many people there are."

"That's it! Then let me ask you, how many people did Wang Jiayin take to besiege Yan'an? ”

"The king, ah, no, no, this Wang Jiayin brought 30,000 people to besiege Yan'an."

"You have so many people besieging the city, is there enough food and grass to eat?"

"We have always eaten wherever we go, and we didn't bring much food, so the food was not enough, so Wang Jiayin sent us out to the states and counties along the way to collect food, and then transported it back to Yan'an for the army to eat."

"Have you ever sent a detailed work into Yan'an as an internal response?"

"This villain doesn't know, this matter was arranged by Wang Jiayin personally, the villain is not a big official, so he doesn't know."

"Well, everything I want to know, I already know. You are quite cooperative, but it's a pity that you don't use these torture tools, you see, when you coerce the people, tattoo words on the people's faces, and I don't do anything else, just use this soldering iron to make a mark on you, so that you can also taste the taste of being abused. ”

"Don't, Master Jun, the villain has said everything, you can't unload the mill and kill the donkey."

"It's lucky that we didn't kill you, you fucking ramble, Lao Tzu will break your tendons and tendons, and make you a living dead."

Man Tianxing originally thought that Liu Renyu was very cruel to use a soldering iron to burn himself, but he heard that if he couldn't happily accept the red soldering iron, he would be picked off his tendons and tendons, and he would be a living dead, so he suddenly felt that it was good to be scalded with a soldering iron.

So Man Tianxing could only grit his teeth, wipe his tears, and watch Liu Renyu lean on his chest with a red soldering iron.

'Snort'

As soon as the red soldering iron rested on the starry chest, it brought a puff of green smoke, followed by a strange smell of roasted meat.

When the stars were burned by the red soldering iron, they naturally howled miserably, and the sound shook the world.

Liu Renyu took the soldering iron and scalded the stars for a while, and felt that it was hot, so he ordered the guards outside the tent to slip down the stars who had fainted.

The stars slipped away, and Sun Wuxi, who was standing beside him, asked his general: "My lord, this guy has already confessed, why do you want to torture him?" ”

"Didn't you see it when you were probing the military? I can't be angry with him when he surrenders, so I can only burn him with a soldering iron, which can be regarded as an outlet for the innocent people. ”

Sun Wuxian listened to what Liu Renyu said to be angry for the people, and he felt that his general was fake, he felt that his own general in Zhangjiabao and Hutou Village was not indiscriminately killing innocents, and now he actually said that he felt sorry for the people, which was really funny.

However, he thought so in his heart, but he said: "My lord is really kind-hearted, and the people of my Jingbian Fort are really blessed to be able to stand up to a general like you." ”

"Well, let's fight this time, and the thieves and thieves we captured will all be captured and sent back to be hard labor, and they will be asked to work until they are tired to death. If they do evil, they must pay the price. ”

"That's what my lord said." Sun Wuxian replied with a smile.

"Alright, it's not too early. Rest early, and you'll have to go tomorrow. ”

After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he went back to sleep on the bunk.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo pulled out the camp and continued to march towards Qingjian County.

When the two members of the Liu family arrived at Zhejia Village, which was still 20 miles away from Qingjian County, the sentinel sent out said that Liu Renjie had returned.

Liu Renyu immediately summoned Liu Renjie to meet him and asked what the situation was in front of him.

When Liu Renjie saw Liu Renyu, he told the two generals of the Liu family about the situation ahead.

"My lord, General Liu, from here to Qingjian, there is no trace of a large number of thieves along the way, Hongjunmen and Du Zongzhen are leading people to camp outside Qingjian County, just waiting for us to meet."

"Yes, I see. You will return to the team, and we will march towards Qingjian together. ”

"Yes, sir." When Liu Renjie received the order, he took his cavalry into his own army.

*************

Outside the county seat of Qingjian, in the camp of the Ming army, and in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Hong Chengchou, who was full of sorrow, sat in front of the handsome case, thinking about the current situation.

But he said that Wang Jiayin had been staying well in Hequ, Shanxi, but for some reason he suddenly ran back to Shaanxi to harm Yansui, and he had to take his officers and soldiers south to chase Wang Jiayin.

When he went out on this expedition, as usual, there was a shortage of food and salary, so Hong Chengchou had no choice but to intercept the money and grain that should be handed over to the imperial court, and first distributed it to his 3,000 officers and soldiers as settlement silver and rations.

These officers and soldiers got money and food, and they were finally willing to come out to suppress the thieves, and they walked all the way, and along the way they encountered a few villages, towns and fortresses that the thieves did not have time to loot.

This matter was known to Hong Chengchou in advance, he appeared in time, and killed some people very much, so that the Guyuan soldiers who planned to do evil were suppressed.

When Hong Chengchou sent them to Mizhi to suppress the thieves, the generals who commanded the Guyuan soldiers were angry because of the fire in their hearts, and when they saw the thieves besieging the city, they shouted when they saw the thieves besieging the city, saying that they were going to fight a happy battle.

The leader of the thieves is also a business-savvy man, so the two sides talked about the conditions for a while, and finally the thieves left some money and food, and some old and weak women and children gave them to the Guyuan soldiers, and the real thieves calmly retreated under the noses of the Guyuan soldiers.

After the thieves and thieves left, the Guyuan soldiers happily distributed money and food, cut off the heads of the old and weak women and children, and then took them back to Hong Chengchou to give the errand.

These Guyuan soldiers, the defenders in Mizhi City, and the prison army sent out by Hong Chengchou all saw it, of course they felt that it was wrong for Guyuan to suppress thieves like this, so they reported the situation to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou heard about this, that is, he was depressed, and there was no way to take other Guyuan soldiers.

This is because the generals who led the troops of the Guyuan soldiers said at every turn: "The soldiers, the soldiers have not been paid for a long time, and they have resentment in their hearts, and they are unwilling to fight to the death. ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately fell silent, after all, his career had just set sail, but he couldn't be questioned by the court because he was not strict in governance, so he could only pinch his nose and admit that Guyuan soldiers and thieves secretly communicated with each other.

It is conceivable that with such officers and soldiers, how can it be possible to exterminate Wang Jiayin. At this time, he missed Liu Renyu, who had never said such a thing as asking for military salaries and had strong combat effectiveness.

"If Liu Wushu is by my side, why use such a greedy general." Hong Chengchou shook his head and sighed when he thought of Liu Renyu and then thought about the current situation.

And just as he was looking forward to the stars, the moon, and Liu Renyu coming soon, a personal guard suddenly came to report: "Junmen, Liu Wudi is here." ”

"Where is he?" Hong Chengchou, who was bored with himself, heard that Liu Renyu was coming, and he was so happy that he immediately got up from the chair.

"It's still two miles from our camp." The guard replied.

"Go, come with me to meet him." Hong Chengchou commanded.

"Junmen, you are a dignified governor, even if Liu Wudi is promoted to an official, he is just a guerrilla, why do you have to go out to greet him in person! If you go to meet him, you have already given him a lot of face. When the guard saw that Hong Chengchou, a dignified governor, was actually going to meet a small guerrilla, he said a little depressedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I want to use Liu Wuving's person, and now I can't give him food, the only thing I can give is courtesy, only in this way can I drive him to beg for me." Hong Chengchou saw his own guards talking like this, so he replied.

"That's it, then the humble duty will protect you to meet Liu Wudi."

After the guard finished speaking, he took his soldiers and escorted Hong Chengchou to welcome Liu Renyu.
