Chapter 35: Exterminate the Bandits

Li Jie's first book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is finally out, holding the book in his hand Li Jie cried, the ancients were too pitiful, traditional Chinese characters! I don't know a lot of words! And there is no punctuation, which is too tiring to watch.

Li Jie took Xing'er and Manniang to find Zhao Fei and proposed that they must study simplified characters and add punctuation. Zhao Fei was unwilling, Li Jie was anxious, "I hope that many of the people of my Datang can read and hyphenate, so that the people can understand the notices posted by the government, and people with ulterior motives will have no time to drill, and the words are simple and easy for people to learn and remember, and the use of punctuation marks can accurately express the meaning of this sentence without worrying about being misinterpreted." And the brush words are too difficult to write, which is not good for Baiwa to learn words, I want to promote hard pen words! ”

"What is a hard pen word?" Li Jie took out a charcoal pen and wrote two words on the paper. Zhao Fei pouted: "It's ugly!" Li Jie asked helplessly: "How is the lettering effect?" ”

"There's too much scrap!"

"Simplifying fonts can reduce scrap a lot! Greatly reduce the workload of craftsmen, simplify the font can save a lot of paper, the more literate people, the faster the development of society! ”

"What is punctuation?" Li Jie took out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and marked the symbols with a brush on it.

"Hmmm! Not bad! All right! You can try it first! ”

finally moved Zhao Fei, and the two began to study simplified characters in the courtyard, and the two of them fought for five days. At this time, in Xinxiang County and the surrounding restaurants, the profession of storyteller was added, and many poor but poor scholars joined this profession.

Life is getting better day by day, and there are more and more smiles on people's faces. Military training is also going on, and the intensity of the previous drills is too low for Gan Li Jie, this is because the soldiers used to have two meals a day, which were originally just coarse tea and light rice without oil and salt, and if it was high-intensity training, the soldiers could not bear it at all. Li Jie asked for three meals a day and each meal should have meat, oil, and salt, which can quickly enhance the physical strength of the soldiers, and at the same time, it also makes the soldiers deeply feel the difference in the position of this team, and follow this team to have meat to eat.

And the internal affairs regulations formulated by Li Jie tossed the recruits back to death. And Li Jie's request to run ten miles every day puzzled many generals. Li Jie's explanation was: "We want to allow the soldiers to run, and when we defeat the enemy, we will pursue the enemy and expand our results." Then he changed his mind and said with a smile: "When we lose the battle, we can also outrun the enemy and preserve our strength." ”

The generals are so angry! Yu Chi Baolin shouted, "You are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige, if you lead the troops like this, the momentum of this army will be gone." ”

However, after Qin Fang lowered his head and thought about it carefully, he exclaimed: "Training, I am really not as good as Your Highness, I am not a victory but a defeat first, I really got the essence of the art of war!" ”

Looking at the puzzled crowd, Qin Fang patiently explained to the generals: "There is no heroic division in the world who has won a hundred battles, not to mention victory, and once defeated, as long as our soldiers escape from the battlefield, then there will be no loss of our strength, and we can continue to fight in the next war, and if these soldiers are trapped in the battle formation and can't escape, how can we make a comeback with you and my brothers?" ”

After a month of rigorous training, these croppers finally had the appearance of soldiers. Li Jie gave an order, and 500 groups of soldiers cleaned up the area around Luoyang, and wiped out all those bandits, so as to ensure the security of the Luoyang area. Second, it allows soldiers to adapt to the battlefield faster. Of course, Li Jie can't come forward yet, everything is released in the name of Liu Yunzhang.

Wang Ergou lived a very free life, he was originally a gangster, and he was beaten up if he didn't pay off his gambling debts. This kid held a grudge and stabbed the other party to death when he was drunk at night. The kid ran away and ran all the way to Funiu Mountain west of Luoyang.

Huang Chao made a rebellion to attack Luoyang, and the big leader of the cottage wanted to go down the mountain and join the gang. At this time, Wang Ergou, who was already a small boss, was unwilling. He quietly gathered a group of people, and poisoned the big boss and his cronies to death while the big boss was unprepared.

After becoming the big leader, this kid became more vicious, and he never left a living mouth to rob when he went down the mountain, and he robbed a lot of villages under the mountain. He also killed all the villagers who dared to resist.

But now his good days are over, Captain Zhang Fang came to the foot of the mountain with 500 soldiers, and the farther away from Luoyang, the worse the situation becomes, with abandoned fields everywhere and sparsely populated villages. Walking to a village not far from the mountain, the procession stopped.

Zhang Fang ordered the scouts to enter the village to investigate, and after a while, the scouts came out, "Lord Qiqi, there are basically only old people and children in the village, and there are no young people and women. ”

Zhang Fang ordered the troops to enter the village, and the scene in the village was extremely miserable, with dead bodies everywhere, and some old people and children looked at them with numb eyes. Zhang ordered the troops to send personnel to stand on guard, and the rest of the people cleaned up the dead bodies and buried them in a centralized manner. After cleaning up the corpses, Zhang Fang ordered people to cook on the fire, and the smell of a large pot of gruel attracted the children, who slowly gathered around but did not dare to approach, just stood there and watched.

Bowls were taken out of people's homes, and bowls of gruel were handed to the children by the soldiers. The aroma of millet porridge made the children forget their fears, and they took a bowl and drank it in a big gulp, it was so fragrant!

The soldiers wept, and these former farmers wept, because they had suffered like this. The old people watched from afar, but no one came.

Zhang Fang walked up to an old man and said, "Old man, do you know the way into the mountain?" The old man asked numbly, "I don't know what happened to the military master entering the mountain?" "We will be ordered by the Lord Left Behind to exterminate the bandits around Luoyang!" "What! What do you say! The old man was stunned, "Old man, we are under the order of the left-behind adults to exterminate the bandits!" ”

"Open your eyes! The sky has opened its eyes! The old man raised his hands and shouted into the air. The soldiers helped the old people to sit down by the fire and brought bowls of gruel, and the old people drank the gruel one by one with tears in their eyes. Zhang Fang asked the old man again, "Old man, I don't know if any of you know the situation of the bandits?" ”

"My son knows about the bandits!" An old woman said weakly. Beckoning to a dark corner, a young man quickly ran out of the darkness.

"Mother!" The young man knelt before the old woman, who said softly, "Son! These military masters want to go into the mountains to exterminate the bandits, you go and lead the way for the military masters, and avenge your father and your daughter-in-law! Then the old woman closed her eyes and was silent.

"Mother, mother!" The young man hugged the old woman and cried, and the old people and children around him also cried.

At dawn, the young man who buried the old woman found Zhang Fang, "Master Jun, I'll show you the way!" "What do you call your brother, and who else is in the family?" "Villain Sun Hu, I'm the only one left in the family."

On the way, Sun Hu said himself in detail, he had been hunting in the mountains, and his life was okay, but a few days ago, Wang Ergou took people down the mountain and ransacked the village, his father and daughter-in-law were killed by thieves because of resistance, and the old mother was kicked in the heart. He escaped by hunting in the mountains, but many young people in the village were killed and captured, and many women were also captured up the mountain.

Pointing to the mountain in front of him, Sun Hu said: "Turn this mountain and you can see the cottage!" "Zhang Fang ordered the team to hide and ordered the scouts to go and investigate." How many bandits are there? Zhang Fang asked. About 200 people! Sun Hu replied.

After noon, the scouts reported that there were about forty people on the wall of the cottage during the day, because the terrain was relatively open, and the team could be found when they turned around the mountain.

Zhang Fang thought about it and decided to attack after dark, and there were five members of the special brigade and ten scouts in the army. These people are the most elite force in this team.

At the end of the third watch, 500 people began to eat, and after eating and drinking, 500 people began to move, and the scouts and the king of soldiers set off in advance. After turning the hill, the group stopped, waiting for the scout to send a message.

More than a dozen people approached the wall, and five special combat team members took the lead and quickly approached the wall. The wall is not about a foot high, come to the wall, two soldiers grab each other's hands, another soldier runs two steps and jumps on the hands of the two, with the strength of the two jumped on the wall, in the air with both hands to pull out a three-edged army thorn, two have found that something is wrong and is about to shout bandits

was stabbed in the neck by a military thorn, and the two of them died without saying a word.

Pulling out the military thorn with his hand and throwing his hand, a thief in the distance was pierced by the military thorn before he understood what was going on, and fell to the ground unwillingly. The rest of the special combat team members have also gone up to the wall, and several of them have connected the scouts to the wall.

The four thieves inside the gate were also killed by several people, and a signal was sent out on the gate. Hundreds of people quietly touched up, and the gate of the village was wide open, and a large group of people entered, and began to look for their respective targets.

At the sound of an order, hundreds of people suddenly moved, and the mountain treasures were defenseless, and they suffered heavy casualties for a while. Wang Ergou and more than a dozen henchmen were drinking and eating meat in the hall, and several captured women were hiding in the corner crying in the corner.

was eating and drinking, the screams and shouts of killing suddenly came, Wang Ergou was startled and was about to get up to look, when he saw more than a dozen minions running in with a crawl, "Big brother!" Eldest brother! Oh no, the officers and soldiers are in! ”

Wang Ergou was frightened and hurriedly ran out with people, although the number of bandits was not large, and the martial arts were not proficient, but the trapped beasts were still fighting, and the soldiers began to be injured. Wang Ergou was surrounded by more than 20 people, and this kid shouted, "Fight one is enough, kill two and earn one." Brethren! Fight with the officers and soldiers! ”

Zhang Fang shouted, "Array!" Array! "A group of soldiers stood in their positions, and a platoon leader grabbed all of them and pointed to Wang Ergou and others in the encirclement." First row, stab! ”

The thieves in front of them have not come back to their senses, a spear has been stabbed in front of them like lightning, the brain has not reacted to whether to retreat or block, the spear has penetrated into the body, and there is no pain, the spear suddenly withdraws, the blood in the chest is soaring, and he subconsciously wants to hold it, but the blood is uncontrollable like a flood that opens the floodgates, and the blood that flows out stains the ground in front of him, and the strength of the body disappears in a blink of an eye, and then he withers to the ground, and he doesn't know anything when his eyes are dark.
