It is easy to fight a city and it is difficult to settle down, and defeating it is only the first step. The whole city is panicked and devastated, and it will take time to recover. Chao Gai and the two military divisions were busy purging military discipline, settling the surrendered soldiers, and issuing a proclamation to reassure the people, and the farmers and industrialists should restore order in production and life as soon as possible.

At this time, the army was in Yangquan, but the 3,000 infantry led by Luda and Shanshiqi sneaked to Pizhou County. After the battle of city defense, the infantry under the command of these two men was reduced a lot, and the current 3,000 infantry is the result of supplementing the reserve in the Jingcheng Mountains.

Shan Shiqi was beautiful while riding a horse, humming a little song: "Brother Luda, can I discuss something for you?" ”

Luda said, "Shan Shiqi, what do you have to tell the Sprinkle family." ”

"When I arrive in Mizhou County, I will be the main general, will you be the deputy general?" Shan Shiqi asked.

Luda laughed: "Haha, okay, the Sprinkle family understands what you mean, you have to show your face in front of the people in your hometown, and when the Sprinkle family returns to your hometown, you will sprinkle the family's horse boy, you are so strong, be my horse boy, very powerful." ”

Shan Shiqi cried: "Brother, can you not play like this, I will play your deputy general when the time comes." ”

A group of 3,000 horses did not carry heavy artillery, only 10 tiger squat cannons, and 50 hand-carried cannons. The firepower is weak, but there are a lot of giant crossbows and bows and arrows, which can be regarded as compensating for the weak firepower. Xiaoxing stayed overnight and arrived in Pizhou County three days later. The banner of the Jeju Army fluttered in the wind, and as for the military flag, it was marked with the banner of the mountain.

"Report, there's a town store ahead, whether it's going around or passing through the town." Tanma report.

Shan Shiqi said: "It's time for lunch, the town is lively at this time, let's also eat, and then go through the town after dinner, it's too far to detour." ”

Ruda said: "Okay, hurry up and start the meal, the hungry stomach hurts." ”

The 3,000 troops camped on the side of the road, set up marching pots, burned fires and cooked food, and the soldiers rested in place except for those on duty, and did not commit any offense to the surrounding autumn.

The officer on duty came to report and said, "Battalion Commander Lu, Deputy Battalion Commander Shan, there are elders in the town who ask to see you." ”

Ruda said: "Now that you are the main general, you can watch it." ”

Shan Shiqi said: "Take Ben to take a look." As he spoke, he flicked the cloak on his body and pressed his waist knife to take a look.

It turned out to be a fellow villager in the town, and Shan Shiqi was originally a famous local family, and at first glance it was Li Baozheng. said: "It turned out to be Li Baozheng." ”

The old man was dazzled and didn't dare to admit it, and hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask the general?" ”

"Shan Shiqi, we've seen it before."

Li Baozheng said: "It is rumored that you are the general of the Jeju Army, it turns out to be true. ”

Shan Shiqi said: "Yes, our Jeju army was ordered to exterminate the Tianhu rebels. Ben will lead 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Mizhou County. ”

Where do the common people know how many troops there are, anyway, 3,000 people are lined up for miles on the side of the road.

Li Baozheng said: "The heavenly soldiers are here, and the fathers and villagers in the town have prepared some things to improve the food for the army. Li Baozheng pointed to a few pigs and more than a dozen sheep behind him.

In fact, Shan Shiqi's psychology is more mirror-like, the so-called labor army is just a local tyrant who is worried about the army robbery, and sends some things in advance, so the generals are embarrassed.

Shan Shiqi said: "The place where the Jeju army passed was not guilty in the autumn, and the house was not demolished when it froze to death, and it was not robbed when it starved to death." You can't accept things given by the people according to the regulations, but it's not easy to return them if you send them. Quartermaster, come and collect it. ”

Soon, he passed a paperwork with the army, counted the things, and said, "Five fat pigs, twenty fat sheep, and fifty big roosters." ”

The quartermaster took two taels of silver to this Li Baozheng, but Li Baozheng couldn't figure out the way and didn't dare to accept it.

Shan Shiqi said: "The Jeju army is the benevolent and righteous army of the governor of Chaodu, if you don't take the people's things for nothing, you can take them." ”

The money given is basically the market price, and even slightly higher than the car price. Li Baozheng saw that Shan Shiqi was not a fraud, and accepted the silver two.

That night, when the army arrived outside the county seat of Pizhou, Luda said: "It's not early, but if you don't hurt a fight, the Sprinkle family will feel uncomfortable." ”

Shan Shiqi said: "My brother led people to fight, and I set up camp here. Chen Kai, the guard general of Mizhou County, is still my fellow countryman, and he has had a relationship, you try to keep his name as much as possible, and I will persuade him to surrender another day, wouldn't it be beautiful for us to take a county seat without blood. ”

Ruda said, "Okay, just listen to my brother." Erlang went with me on the expedition. ”

Ruda rode a horse, waved a Zen staff, and led a thousand soldiers to the city gate to call for battle.

"Boys, go and call the Sprinkle family." Ruda drank.

Immediately, a few cavalrymen flew out and shouted: "Listen to the thieves in the city, the Jeju army is here, and they are not going to go out of the city and die." ”

Chen Kai has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, but he has never played with a master, and in his own small range, he feels himself

Seeing that the Jeju army was coming to call for battle, he immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and opened the city gate.

Chen Kai pointed at Luda with a big iron gun and shouted: "Who will come, fight again." ”

Ruda smiled: "Little doll, can you take a shovel from the Sprinkle family?" ”

The war horse accelerates, and the two horses hedge. The iron spear was against the Zen staff, and he heard a sound, Chen Kai only felt that the tiger's mouth was cracked, his arm was numb, and he grabbed the iron spear so that he didn't let go, but he had no ability to fight again.

Chen Kai said: "I had a bad stomach in the afternoon, let's go back and fight again." ”

Ruda smiled: "Okay, let's fight another day." ”

Chen Kai led the troops back to the city, and Luda led the troops back to the camp, but the camp has not yet been completed.

Shan Shiqi said, "Brother, why did you come back so soon?" ”

Luda grinned and said, "Chen Kai's kid is a straw bag, and he was choked by my shovel, saying that he had diarrhea and would fight another day." ”

Everyone laughed, and Shan Shiqi said: "It's not Chen Kai's straw bag, it's that you are too powerful, even if there are a few famous generals and leaders in our Jeju army, who else can take you a Zen cane." Chen Kai has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has some ability. What's more, there are 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which is a big boost for the Jeju army. ”

Luda said: "Okay, camp and rest today, and tomorrow you go to persuade him, if you really can't do it, you can only attack." ”

Immediately, the army was stationed in the camp, and the arrangements were arranged and there was nothing to say all night. The next day, after breakfast early, Shan Shiqi rode his horse alone and left the camp.

In the city of Mizhou, Chen Kai was sulking there, he hit it yesterday, the town's arm was almost broken, and his brain and hands trembled when he got up early to eat tofu today.

"Report, there is a person who claims to be your fellow countryman and wants to come to see the general." In fact, Chen Kai is not a general, but the army is shouting to lift his spirit, so he is called so.

Chen Kai said: "A few people, it won't be the assassins of the Jeju Army." ”

"A solo horse, not an assassin."

Chen Kai said: "Take it to the living room, I'll see who it is." ”

When the family herald soldiers go down, Shanshiqi came, and Chen Kai was a little impressed when he saw it.
