After listening to Zhang Juntai's words, the county commander also saw sweat on his face, and asked with a pale face: "Then what should I do, as soon as the army leaves, the bandits will definitely go down the mountain again." ”

Zhang Juntai pretended to think for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, Lord County Commander, let's give the bandits a strong wall to clear the wilderness." Adults, you can arrange for the surrounding villagers to take refuge in the county, and in order to clear the wall as soon as possible, you can have the government come forward and help them move. ”

The county magistrate listened to Zhang Juntai's words, his eyes also lit up, and he said: "The government came forward, cleared the wilderness, and took refuge in the county seat." yes, I didn't think of that. In this way, uh, even if the bandits go down the mountain, they won't gain anything. After a long time, the bandits will not get enough provisions, so they will naturally leave, and then the villagers can return to their former homes. ”

Zhang Juntai looked at the face of the county order, and knew that this county order was ready to take this opportunity to devour the wealth of the villagers, and since the fish had been hooked, he was going to start putting a long-term line.

On the other side, Li Wenyuan and Zong Luohu also returned to Qinglong Mountain. Li Wenyuan came to this place of the rivers and lakes for the first time, gathering in the mountains and forests, and he was also a little excited in his heart, and he couldn't stop looking around.

Zong Luohu came to the Juyi Hall and said, "Move a chair for General Li, and then call the leaders to discuss the matter." ”

After a while, there were four people in armor, looking at the figure and strength, all of them were good men with some skills, there was no traitor in their eyes, and they were very clear. After Li Wenyuan looked at it carefully, he dispelled a trace of doubt in his heart, and believed in Zong Luohu a little more in his heart.

Seeing Zong Rahu said: "Brothers, the one next to me is the presidential leader of the army under the mountain, and he is also the incoming governor of the eight states of the Western Regions. At this time, Zong Luohu's eyes swept over the people below and continued:

"You all know that the second master of that day went with me to pass on the book in General Li's camp to explain the truth. General Li is righteous, has not been biased and believing, and has been investigating the matter of the missing villagers under the mountain for the past few days. Now that I have a clue, I need our brothers to cooperate in the play, and if anyone messes me up, I won't be able to keep him. ”

Zong Luohu stood up and continued: "No matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, from today onwards, General Li will always be the guest of our Qinglong Village, and no one must forget it. ”

Then, according to Li Wenyuan's arrangement, Zong Luohu led a team of cavalry to wait for the change under the mountain.

Li Wenyuan was chatting with a few unconvinced people in the village.

"To be honest, I really want to fight General Li, and I've made a move." The second master said.

"How about I give you a suggestion?" Li Wenyuan said with a smile.

Saying that, Li Wenyuan moved a table and two chairs, then sat down and said, "Come on, come on, which brother will come with me to demonstrate to you first?" ”

The second master also sat down and asked curiously: "What is General Li going to do?" I'm here to show you. ”

Li Wenyuan said: "Okay, the second master. After that, he simplified the rules of the wrist-wrestling competition in later generations, told everyone to listen, and demonstrated it to the second master a few times, and everyone was extremely curious about this new thing. At the moment, they took turns to wrestle with Li Wenyuan, and they were all defeated and retreated.

At this time, Zong Luohu next to him said to Li Wenyuan: "It's hot to see, let my brother give it a try." ”

Li Wenyuan nodded in agreement, Zong Luohu sat down, and asked, "General Li, does this kind of game have a name?" ”

Li Wenyuan thought for a while and said: "This game is called wrestling wrist strength, and there are occasional people in the army for fun and recreation. ”

"Haha, good name, I'm here to fight General Li." Zong Luohu put his elbow on the table and crossed it with Li Wenyuan's wrist. The second master next to him put the hands of the two in the middle, and then said, "Are the two ready?" Begin. ”

Zong Luohu and Li Wenyuan's arms were both bruised and stiffened in the middle. After a while, Zong Luohu's face turned a little red, his supporting elbows trembled a little, and his breath was slightly disordered. On the other hand, Li Wenyuan's side still didn't grow angry, and he looked at Zong Luohu without changing his face.

The county commander on the other side led people to the nearest village standing on Qinglong Mountain, and said: "Fellow villagers, I am the county commander of Yongdeng County, in order to prevent you from being robbed by bandits, follow me into the county seat." ”

A farmer next to him said: "Master, this is about to be harvested in the summer, and the crops in the field are inseparable from people." Can we wait a few days, we will harvest the crops and then take refuge in the city? ”

The county commander shook his head and said: "No, the army is gone, the bandits will definitely go down the mountain to loot, and it is useless for you to stay here." ”

The man over there was about to say something, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he was knocked to the ground by the officers and soldiers next to him. The officers and soldiers shouted:

"You are a rough man from a peasant family who is not interesting, the county commander personally put down his body and came to advise you, you have to shirk this, you must be a fellow bandit."

At this time, the county magistrate next to him said: "Hugh wants to hurt people, these are all my people of the Great Sui." Those who refuse to obey the supervision must also be forcibly brought back to the county, so that they cannot fall into the hands of bandits and suffer calamity. ”

Li Wenyuan saw that Zong Luohu was a little weak, and he was hesitating in his heart whether to defeat Zong Luohu or lose to Zong Luohu, so as to save some face for Zong Luohu. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the sentry running over in the distance, Li Wenyuan no longer hesitated, and directly pressed Zong Luohu's arm on the table with a slight force.

Amid the applause from the surroundings, Zong Luohu and Li Wenyuan came to the sentry and said, "What's the matter? ”

"Back to the big boss, General Li's words, the official army under the mountain has already set off from camp and marched north along the Zhuanglang River." The sentry said.

"Okay, the soldiers and horses I ordered will be assembled and ready now." Zong Luohu said to the people next to him: "Sons, give me a good home in my absence, don't lose our own inheritance." ”

Li Wenyuan was covered with a black cloth, and he sat side by side with Zong Luohu, waiting for news from the sentry, and behind him were two hundred cavalrymen with neat armor. Today's task is to give the county commander under the mountain one last strong medicine.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, and they are driving the people." The sentry shouted.

"Open the mountain gate, follow me to drive away those cool officials, and bless the people on one side for safety." Zong Luohu said.

Then the mountain gate opened, and Zong Luohu rushed out first, followed by Li Wenyuan, followed by two hundred cavalry. For a while, the earthquake trembled, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the officers and soldiers who came out to drive the people were as pale as earth, and they hurriedly hid in the nearby villagers' houses, avoiding the impact of the cavalry.

The county commander was dragged into the stable of a farmer by the leader of the official army who accompanied him, and he was covered in horse manure, which was stinking and embarrassing. But at this time he did not care about this, but hid in the corner and shivered, until the cavalry had crossed the border and returned to the mountain, and then he ordered someone to say, "Tie up all these villagers to me." They intended to rebel and raid their homes. ”
