Ganquan is very close to Yan'an Fucheng, just under the noses of the governor and the capital, so the armament has not been wasted too much, usually in order to cope with the inspection of the above may not come when, but do not dare to eat too much empty salary, military pay can also be issued every three or five times, there are dozens of war horses, swords and guns can also be done per person, the first account is quite complete, every ten days and eight days to pull up the team, like a decent exercise, at least there is the appearance of the army.

On that day, the Lord of Qianhu got a batch of property supported by Zhang Yuan, and he only floated half of it slightly, and the rest were sent down, as for Zhang Yuan's proposal to jointly crusade against the thieves, it was like a wind that floated by, and threw the governor's hand far under the bed.

Jokes, are thieves so easy to fight? Although he doesn't know the process of Yanchuan's breakthrough battle, he is close to the Black Tiger Village, and the strength and combat effectiveness of the thieves are clear. As for the rest, it is not within the scope of its own jurisdiction, so it is the same as drinking wine, holding children, and training or something.

The thousand households in Ganquan are sad and lucky, and the sad reason is that when he got Li Yuanhao's command from Deputy General Commander Li to send troops, he still made up his mind, that is, waiting for your brigade to arrive, let's wave the flag and shout, otherwise we will not move, but after seeing the strict words in the warrant, I have to dispatch people slowly.

But what he didn't know was that Li Yuanhao slept for a day because of a hangover, and the next day he was unable to delay another day because of a headache, so there was a time difference with the main force, so the Ganquan Guards became a lone army in the real sense.

But fortunately, this thousand households are also old soldiers are still shrewd and astute, the second day of departure, the scouts who spread thirty miles away found the army of Cao Meng, who was waiting for the rabbit, originally knew the combat power of the army, and he already had the heart to join in the fun, so he never thought about using his seven hundred men and horses to compete with the army, and he turned around and ran back to Ganquan County more than 20 miles away. escaped by luck in this way, which made Cao Meng and the soldiers of the sixth team quite depressed.

Well, since you have made a turtle with a shrunken head, and I don't have the heart to move your turtle shell, then I will complete another task taught by King Chuang outside the city, and Cao Meng will take a large group of people and horses to the homes of various landlords and heroes south of Ganquan City to discuss the matter of rent reduction and interest reduction.

Things are surprisingly smooth, those big and powerful are far close to sending good wine and meat respectfully, and they are quite cooperative with the great good deed of rent reduction and interest reduction, joke, don't cooperate? The examples of the Zhao family and the Zhang family are there, they don't want to destroy the clan for a few insignificant little money families, and at the same time, the envoy fee saved by disbanding those family guards is also equivalent to paying the protection fee for the thief, and they also save the day worrying about it, why not do such a thing?

Those who were unwilling also greeted each other with a smile, the reason is that they knew that the thieves had been jumping for a few days, and the imperial army was about to come to encircle and suppress, and they didn't need to jump out at any time to find themselves uncomfortable, so they promised first, and within a few days, once the thieves were destroyed, everything would no longer exist.

As for mobilizing the people, the people don't need to launch it at all, and the people heard that the army was coming, and they rushed to tell each other happily, and showed the way to the army along the way to help transport supplies, which was really a solid treatment, which made the soldiers feel how great and important what they had done, and gave them a higher sense of pride and responsibility.

The militia also began to develop and form here, but after all, the militia's combat effectiveness is limited, and it can only deal with those who are strong and strong, and it is powerless to deal with the pole robbers and large groups of officers and soldiers, but if the big landlords here pay the protection fee but are harassed, the people are forced by the corrupt officials and cool officials, and let them go to the Black Tiger Village for nearly two hundred miles for help. simply took advantage of a cottage attached to the intruding army, and ordered six teams to be stationed as a garrison.

After persuading the big family Haoqiang, Cao Meng took a large team of people and began to negotiate relations with those bandits in the Ganquan jurisdiction.

Since the Chuang army promised to help them, or agreed, or simply proposed to join the Chuang army, they put down their weapons, knives and guns and cheered and moved their families to Huluyu to farm.

There was also a cottage that was very strong, self-held and brave and refused to cooperate, and threatened to have been regarded by Cao Meng as a base for the robbery of Ganquan, which was with Cao Meng's temper, and there was no opponent to deter the party, so a dynamite package blew up the dilapidated wall, and then the gun array stepped forward, and finally the cavalry chased the north, and it didn't take much effort to call it a day, and by the way, there were many cottages to accumulate, which was really beautiful and affordable.

Later, Zhao Xing urgently sent someone to inform Wu Tao's method in Luochuan, which was approved by Lu Shi, Cao Meng slapped his thighs even more, why didn't he think of this method, he just let those cottages that were attached to him go to Huluyu?

Regret is regret, hurry up to remedy it is the right reason, and when the head of the original cottage is kind to discuss with them, let them return to the original cottage to continue to do their very promising career as a bandit, those who give up their careers shake their heads like rattles, jokes, this is based on the land and the way to live, and the life is moist and peaceful, which one is willing to put a good life and not go over to be that bandit?

Later, when Cao Meng went to other cottages along the way, all he saw was that he had already laid the baggage, swept away everything that could be swept, installed the pole of the cart, and waited for Cao Meng to send out the road strips to Huluyu, and he didn't even discuss it with you, which really made Cao Meng want to cry without tears.

took Cao Meng's road, people didn't need you to escort him, cheered, discarded the knife and gun and ran directly to Huluyu, the foot was so fast, the spirit was enough, and he didn't even have time to say words of gratitude to Cao Meng.

Yes, spring ploughing is imminent, and if you arrive early, you will open up a little more wasteland, which cannot be delayed no matter what.

There was still a pole, so he simply didn't bother Cao Meng and sent a brother on a donkey to directly pick up Cao Meng to ask for a road. said that the leader who was about to delay his work was afraid of delaying his work, so he took the whole village with him and was already on the road, and he only begged Cao Meng to make up the formalities for the road.

When he said this, hundreds of ragged men, women and children rushed over, and Cao Meng, who was frightened at that time, hurriedly organized a gun array to defend against the enemy, but a man suddenly ran out of the group of happy homeless people, ran to the front of the army, looked left and right, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, but the army of the king?" ”

Cao Meng nodded subconsciously in a daze, and when the man heard it, he cheered and said loudly: "That's good, that's you." ”

What is that?

Seeing Cao Meng's confused appearance, the man smiled and said: "I am the pole of Jigong Mountain in front, and I heard the call of King Chuang and his old man, so we hurriedly ordered to rush to serve the order, what, do you have a road?" ”

"Yes." Cao Meng nodded subconsciously.

As soon as the head of the pole heard it, he cheered, jumped up and ran back, and after a while, he pushed out a wheelbarrow, which was tied up with a messy knife, and pushed it to Cao Meng's horse, and fell to the ground with a hula, and smiled at Cao Meng, who had not yet come to his senses: "We got the military order of the old man who broke the king, and now we have handed over the weapons here." Without waiting for Cao Meng to speak, he said very seriously: "According to the rules of our base area, the weapons are now delivered, and I am the people of the base area, so I can go to Huluyu to divide the fields and open up the wasteland. "That look was impatient.

Cao Meng's brain was absolutely indifferent, but he mechanically opened the road for him, and before Cao Meng could ask a few words, the man grabbed it, hurriedly carried it in his arms, pushed the wheelbarrow and ran back, ran to the team, carried an old woman into the car, put a small doll on the other side, and shouted anxiously: "Mother, dog, hurry up and sit down, we have to hurry for a while, it's too late, and everything will be gone." Fortunately, he didn't forget to greet the people in front of him and behind him: "Folks, hurry up and go, it's too late to break into the king's old man's house, and he won't give it to us." With that, he pushed up the wheelbarrow, lowered his head and strode into the crowd, and then snorted in front of Cao Meng and went to Huluyu.

Looking at the drifting homeless people and the tattered knives and guns all over the ground, Cao Meng didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and asked the captain of the sixth team, who was also stammering: "Just now, who was that person just now." ”

The captain of the sixth team looked at the crowd in the distance and shook his head, but thought for a moment and said, "I heard that it was the pole that King Chuang ordered to be summoned by his old man. ”

"Poles? Break into the king? Return him to the old man? Cao Meng almost fell off his horse.

"yes."

"Did the old man give such an order?"

"Like, maybe I did." The captain was also confused.

"But, how did I not know?" Cao Meng scratched his head and turned shocked: "Don't be a pole to fake military orders, it's not good for the base area." ”

Seeing Cao Meng say this, the captain also looked flustered, but in a blink of an eye, he said with a relaxed face: "Impossible." Pointing to the tattered knives and guns on the ground, he said reassuringly: "Chief, they have already disarmed and surrendered, besides, don't you see that they are all old and weak women and children?" The pole has been pushed on the old lady and the young son and has become a homeless, how can anyone sneak attack someone and bring the old lady and the young son, without a knife or gun? ”

Thinking that this was the first time he saw it, Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the captain, and asked hesitantly: "Then should we go to another cottage?" ”

"I think, forget it, King Chuang and his old man may have finished preaching."

"Then, let's go back." Cao Meng said.

"Let's go back, let's go back." Let's talk about it together.
