Chapter 117: Finalization

When they arrived at the mountain gate of Dehutou Village, Liu Renyu ordered everyone to dismount and walk, and then except for the people who guarded the horses, the rest of the people followed Liu Renyu towards the top of the mountain. March.

The mountain of this Hutou Mountain, but it is the north, the west and the south are deep ravines, so the mountain is extremely high, reaching 150 zhang, and the east of the mountain gate, but it is shorter than the other three sides of the 50 zhang, the height of the mountain is only 100 zhang.

At this level of mountain, Liu Renyu did not wear heavy armor, but walked as light as a swallow, and climbed all the way ahead, leaving Wang Zuohang and others far behind.

Sweaty, tired and panting, Wang Zuohang looked at Liu Renyu who was running and climbing the mountain, looked around and said, "Lord Liu is really a tiger general!" Climbing a mountain is like walking on flat ground, I can't wait! ”

As the main general, Liu Renyu walked like a fly, but the speed of his guards was not slow, they were only a little behind Liu Renyu, and they also left Wang Zuojiao and other surrendered troops far behind.

Wang Zuojiao saw that Liu Renyu's personal guards were also powerful, so he looked around and said: "It is really a strong general, and there are no weak soldiers under him, and Lord Liu's soldiers and horses are really elite soldiers!" ”

At a height of 100 zhang, it still takes some effort to climb up, but with Liu Renyu's foot strength, he climbed to the top of the mountain after only half an hour, and Wang Zuojiao and others only climbed seventy percent.

Liu Renyu looked at Wang Zuojiao, who was climbing the mountain with difficulty, and waited for the surrender army, smiled, and said to himself: "The officials and soldiers are all such goods, no wonder they can't win the Beiyu, they can't win the Jiannu, and in the end, even the thieves can't win." For these people, they still need to be used in practice. ”

When he finished thinking about his thoughts, he met Sun Keqiu, who was guarding the mountain carving and other captives at the mountain gate.

Sun Keqiu saw Liu Renyu coming up, and hurriedly led his subordinates forward to salute and said, "My lord, you are here." ”

"Hmm," Liu Renyu nodded, and then he saw dozens of men tied up, so he asked, "Is this a captured bandit?" ”

"Exactly." Sun Keqiu replied.

At this time, the mountain carving that was tied up saw Liu Renyu, who was dressed as a general, coming to the mountain, so he took two more looks.

And after looking at it for a while, he suddenly felt that this person dressed as a military general was very kind, he thought about it for a while in the ocean of memory, and finally remembered in surprise who this person in front of him was.

"So it's you!?" The mountain carving suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Liu Renyu and said loudly.

When Liu Renyu heard this shout, he followed the direction of the sound and quickly ran to the mountain carving, and then he first carefully looked at the mountain carving for a while, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, the mountain carving is in charge of the plate, and we drank a bowl of wine with you in the Juyi Hall that day." ”

"I understand, I fully understand, whether the few leaders were killed by you." The mountain eagle suddenly realized something, so he asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, I killed you. And, to tell you something, you're going to die. Liu Renyu smiled even more.

"Are you ...... because of Zhangjiabao?"

"Hmm!" When Liu Renyu heard the three words of Zhangjiabao, a cold light flashed in his eyes, so he quickly drew his knife and wiped it on the neck of the mountain carving.

The mountain eagle's words were cut off in an instant, he subconsciously covered his neck where the blood foam was flying, and with two 'woo' sounds in his mouth, he fell to the ground, his legs and feet twitched, and he was about to drive the crane west.

Seeing the fate of the mountain carving, even if there were people who had seen Liu Renyu among the captured bandits, they didn't dare to say that they knew Liu Renyu, so as not to attract the disaster of killing.

And some thieves who were going to beg for mercy saw that Liu Renyu killed a mountain carving without saying a word, and they didn't dare to speak for a while.

After Liu Renyu finished killing the mountain carving, he wiped the bloody Yanling knife on the body of the mountain carving a few times, and when his knife was wiped clean, he returned the knife into the sheath and said to the cronies around him: "Go to the cottage to find a few thousand presidents, let them come here, I have something to ask them." ”

"Yes, sir." A cronie got the order, so he ran into the cottage and went to find the four thousand presidents.

After a short time, Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu and Ma Wenshan came together.

When they saw Liu Renyu, they naturally saluted together, and Liu Renyu waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't have to be polite.

"How many of you attacked this cottage, what were the casualties?" Liu Renyu didn't ask about merit at first, only about casualties.

Hearing this question, Li Jiye, Zhang Tieniu, Yang Desheng and other thousands of presidents, their originally smiling faces suddenly pulled down.

"If you go back to your lordship, there are 5 dead soldiers and 9 wounded under your humble hands." Li Jiye replied.

"7 soldiers were killed and 13 were wounded." Yang Desheng replied.

"4 soldiers were killed and 6 wounded." Zhang Tieniu replied.

Only the smile on Ma Wenshan's face did not diminish at all: "If you return to your lordship, no one was killed under the humble men, only 3 people were injured, and they were slightly injured. ”

"Really!? How did you do that? ”

Liu Renyu had been expressionless when he heard the casualty figures of Li Jiye and the other three thousand generals, and it was not until he heard the casualty figures reported by Ma Wenshan that he asked Ma Wenshan with a smile.

"This is how the ,...........。 is done"

Ma Wenshan explained the strategies and plans he used one by one.

Liu Renyu nodded more than he listened.

After he finished listening, he opened his mouth and said: "Gentlemen, you have followed me since November of the first year of Chongzhen, and so far, you have only trained 500 people. ”

He added: "Such good soldiers, I hope you treat them well, and when making decisions, you can think more about how you can win the battle and minimize unnecessary casualties. ”

He added: "In the future, if you lead your troops out to fight, if you cause too many casualties among the officers and soldiers because of a mistake in decision-making, then even if you win, you will be held accountable for your command. ”

"Yes, my lord, the rank has been recorded." Li Jiye and the other three thousand presidents said in unison.

"Well, remember, in the future, you will learn more from Wenshan and use your brain." Liu Renyu taught again.

"Yes, my lord, the rank has been recorded." Li Jiye and the other three thousand presidents responded again.

"That's it, this time, because of the 'ambush on all sides' strategy, I can't let the thieves of Hutou Village escape, because I have to surround the cottage on all sides to attack, and some casualties are inevitable, I don't blame you this time. Okay, let's wait here for a while, and when Wang Zuo hangs up, let's make plans. ”

After Liu Renyu said this, he looked around at the scenery of Hutou Village.

Zhang Tieniu took advantage of this opportunity to approach Ma Wenshan and said with a smile: "Wenshan, you are so good at fighting, you see, even adults let us learn from you." ”

"Yo, Master Zhang, don't kill the small one, Master Zhang, you are a fierce general, when you beheaded the slaves, the small ones are in your eyes, remember clearly, remember clearly." When Ma Wenshan saw Zhang Tieniu praising himself like this, he hurriedly said modestly.

And Zhang Tieniu usually used the battle to kill Jiannu as a boasting talking point, because Ma Wenshan specially mentioned this matter, which really hit Zhang Tieniu's itch, and it was Zhang Tieniu who laughed heartily: "Wenshan, you are so sweet-mouthed, and you specifically pick what you like to hear, in fact, in addition to some bravery, you really don't have any plans, and you are stupid." ”

"Master Zhang, don't say that, you are fierce Zhang Fei, thick and fine." Ma Wenshan said again.

"Hey, forget it, Wenshan, you are so coarse, but your mind is very detailed, we can't talk about you, I won't tell you. In short, it's just a sentence, learn more from you what kind of strategy. Zhang Tieniu said with a grin.

Liu Renyu, who had been watching the scenery from the side, heard Zhang Tieniu say this, so he stabbed into the stab and said: "Tieniu, if you can learn to be resourceful, Lao Tzu has your surname, even if Lao Tzu wants to send you out to fight in the future, he will send you a military advisor to take care of you, lest you be the same as this time, shouting and killing across the cottage, and startling snakes." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Zhang Tieniu was criticized by Liu Renyu for no reason, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and smirked.

Yang Desheng saw Zhang Tieniu deflated, so he smiled rarely.

Liu Renyu saw that Yang Desheng was laughing at Zhang Tieniu, so he said loudly to Yang Desheng: "You fucking laughing ghost, you pretend to be serious on weekdays, and I still think you are very reliable." I don't think you're like Zhang Tieniu today, you don't even know how to lurk and approach the enemy, and you will babble as soon as the battle starts, Lao Tzu heard it in the east, are you wrong about donkey days? ”

Yang Desheng is strict with himself, does not smile, and gives Liu Renyu a feeling of being old and serious, but he didn't think that today he was very abnormal, and made a very high-profile mistake of startling the snake, so that Liu Renyu criticized him and let him remember it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Yang Desheng had a strong sense of self-esteem, heard Liu Renyu criticize himself, and heard Liu Renyu say that he was unreliable, and when he was depressed for a while, he knelt on the ground with a red face, 'bang, bang' a few times, and his forehead was bloody.

Then he said in a deep voice: "I was confused for a while, and I made a mistake, and I ask the lord to punish him heavily." ”

"Hey, hey, Desheng, what are you doing? I'm just joking with you, why is it here? Liu Renyu saw that Yang Desheng was so serious, so he hurriedly helped him up with both hands, and Wen Yan said with relief.

"My lord, I know that I am wrong." Yang Desheng said with a bitter face.

"That's good, if you go out to lead the troops in the future, I won't match you with a military division, I believe you."

As soon as Liu Renyu's words came out, Yang Desheng's heart immediately warmed, so Yang Desheng gave up his hand and said: "The humble position will definitely not disappoint the adults again." ”

"Well, that's good, that's good." After Liu Renyu appeased Yang Desheng, who loved face extremely, he walked to the mountain gate, looked down, and found that Wang Zuohang, who was sweating profusely, finally came.

"You guys are too fucking slow, when Lao Tzu returns to Jingbian Fort, I must be good at performing you, so that you can climb the mountain faster in the future." Liu Renyu smiled and said to Wang Zuo.

As soon as Liu Renyu's words came out, Wang Zuohang listened to it as if he heard the sound of heaven.

After all, the superior is willing to say this, which means that he did not treat them as outsiders, but still regarded them as regular troops, and Wang Zuojiao immediately smiled and said: "My lord, it is our blessing to be manipulated by you, and it is too late for us to be happy." ”

"That's very good." Liu Renyu nodded, and then said to a few of his subordinates: "Let's go, go to the thief's treasury to see if there are any treasures." ”

"Yes, sir."

Everyone responded and followed Liu Renyu towards the place where the money and grain were stored in Hutou Village.

When he arrived at the large tiled house used as a warehouse near the Deju Yi Hall, Liu Renyu asked people to smash the lock on the door, and then he ordered: "Jiye, go and inspect it, and then move out all the valuable things." ”

"Yes, sir." Li Jiye received the order, so he led a group of his subordinates into the warehouse and searched everywhere.

After a while, Li Jiye came out of the warehouse and reported to Liu Renyuyu: "My lord, I went in and checked it, and there were more than 40 big boxes containing silver taels and treasures. ”

"A few of you, pick out some of your wrestlers and let them carry the boxes." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, sir." Several thousands of generals responded to the call, and each of them went to choose his powerful subordinates and let them move the boxes.

After the box containing silver taels and treasures was carried out of the warehouse, Liu Renyu asked several Qianzong again: "This is the money store, where is the grain storehouse?" ”

Yang Desheng saw Liu Renyu asking, so he took Jin Yinpeng to Liu Renyu and said, "My lord, this guy is Jin Yinpeng, just ask him." ”

"Goldenwing, where is your granary?"

"If you go back to the military master, we don't have a granary, and the rice and noodles we snatched back are distributed to the people in the cottage, and every family has some collections." Jin Wingpeng knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.

"Yes! I know. Liu Renyu nodded, and then said to Wang Zuo: "Before you do things later, search from house to house, put away all the rice and noodles, and transport them down the mountain, and then your people can do things, and when you finish your work, go down the mountain, and we will wait for you at the bottom of the mountain." Your murder and arson, start with this Golden-winged Peng. ”

"Yes, sir." Wang Zuohang first bowed down in response, and then suddenly drew a knife in his hand and stabbed Jin Yinpeng into the heart.

Jin Yinpeng never expected that the official army would be killed, his eyes widened in shock, and he fell to the ground, and he died in an instant.

"A few Master Qian, you have collected the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle. Then, Wenshan, you and your people are waiting at the mountain gate to deliver the grain. Let's go down the mountain. ”

After Liu Renyu gave the order, he took the first step and took the guards down the mountain on his own.

Li Jiye and the other three thousand presidents first sent someone to collect the corpse, and then went down the mountain. According to Liu Renyu's order, Ma Wenshan waited at the mountain gate.

Wang Zuohang waited until Liu Renyu and several other generals left, then pointed at the cottage with a cruel smile, and laughed: "Lord Liu has an order to wash this cottage." ”

"Yes, Chief."

Wang Zuohang's subordinates responded excitedly, and then they divided into small teams, breaking down doors from house to house, and first searching for food.

When they were searching for food, some people naturally refused to hand it over, and how could these former thieves be polite and cut down those who refused to hand over the grain.

Sometimes, some of Wang Zuo's subordinates would insult young women and kill them.

So, for a while, the cottage was full of crying, wailing, and screaming women.

After a commotion in the cottage, Wang Zuohang ordered his subordinates to carry more than 200 sacks and stack them at the mountain gate.

When Ma Wenshan saw so many sacks, he said to the leader of the steward who sent the sacks: "There are so many sacks, my people can't move them, you guys hurry up and finish the work, and then come and help me move them." ”

"Yes, Master Ma, the little one will go and tell the leader."

The little leader agreed, and went back to report to the king.

Wang Zuo got Ma Wenshan's order, so he ordered: "Little ones, the food has arrived, there is no need to leave any more alive, just kill them." ”

"Yes, Chief."

As soon as the men agreed, they went from house to house and slaughtered. For a while, the smell of blood was in the air of the cottage.

At this time, there were more than 800 people left in Hutou Village, and there were 200 people in Wang Zuojiao's department, and it only took half an hour for the old and weak women and children in Hutou Village to be killed.

When his subordinates finished killing, Wang Zuohang ordered again: "Raise fire." ”

His men carried torches and set fire to all the houses in the cottage. For a time, the smoke of Hutou Village was billowing and the flames were soaring into the sky.

Wang Zuohang waited for his subordinates to finish setting fire, and then led them to join Ma Wenshan's headquarters.

"Wang Zuohang, there are still dozens of captives here, you haven't killed them yet, why don't you deal with them quickly." Ma Wenshan saw that Wang was hanging on the left, so he reminded.

After Ma Wenshan's prompting, Wang Zuohang found that there were dozens of captives tied up near the mountain gate, so he first smiled and said to Ma Wenshan: "Thank you Ma Ye for reminding him", and then he led a group of his subordinates to force those prisoners over.

But it is said that the families of these captives are all in the cottage, and when Wang Zuohang wantonly slaughtered, they were all twisted like knives, and they were in pain, and when Wang Zuohang, the executioner, wanted to kill them, they used all their strength to scold Wang Zuohang.

However, this was of no use, but Wang Zuohang's heart was aroused by their scolding, so he deliberately asked these captives to be lifted up and thrown into the fire.

When these captives were burned in the fire and wept and wailed, Wang Zuohang and others stroked their palms and laughed.

When Ma Wenshan saw this scene, he felt that Wang Zuohang was too cruel, so he frowned very dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.

After Wang Zuohang finished cleaning up those prisoners, Ma Wenshan said to Wang Zuohang angrily: "Let's go, go down the mountain, the adults are waiting for us." ”

After Ma Wenshan finished speaking, he ordered his soldiers to carry more than a hundred sacks and go down the mountain first.

Wang Zuohang was a little unhappy when he saw Ma Wenshan for no reason, and he didn't know why, but he didn't think much about it, and he also ordered his subordinates to carry the remaining sacks down the mountain.
