Chapter 18 Birds into the Mountains and Forests

It took several hours to cross the canal, but in fact, crossing the river was a difficult problem for Li Qingyuan, and it was also a problem for the Qing army.

This is also the reason why Li Qingyuan clearly knew that Linxi was only twenty or thirty miles away from Linqing, and he already dared to station there, because if the Qing army wanted to fight him, he had to cross the river first.

The current Qing army must have just crossed the river to the east of the river and rushed to Linqing County, so now Li Qingyuan and the Qing army are the east of the river and the west of the river.

At this time in Linqing County, the robbery continued, Fan Wei tasted the sweetness, and then fell into the fun of robbery and couldn't extricate himself, and through the robbery, he also gathered a large number of ruffians and abject poor people and vengeful people.

The number of people swelled rapidly to more than 10,000, but the scene gradually got out of control, from the beginning of only robbing the most heinous rich households, to robbing the rich, and then simply robbing people when they saw them, many people simply joined the robbery team of the rebels in order to survive.

Just as Fan Weizhi was proudly coming down from the embroidery building of a wealthy family, the sentry he sent out ran in a panic: "Sect Master! Master! The Qing Demon Army has already reached ten miles north of the city, run quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave. ”

At this time, Fan Wei suddenly remembered Li Qingyuan's words, looked at the sky, it was not a few hours before dawn, scolded him for being too greedy, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to clean up the gold and silver.

If you want to talk about life, people who have hovered on the edge of life and death once will cherish it very much, and like Fan Wei, while gathering troops, he ran to the south gate, and only gathered more than 8,000 people when he arrived at the south gate.

Fan Wei simply gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and left the rest of the people, and immediately opened the door and fled south, Fan Wei was afraid that he would really not be able to leave if he didn't leave.

The Qing army came to Linqing and saw that the city was full of robbers, and the bandits mistakenly thought that the bandits had not left, so they immediately closed the four gates and began to arrest.

This gave Fan Wei a precious half day to escape, and Fan Wei used this half day to run sixty miles, and when it was time to rest at noon, when the number of people was counted, there were six thousand left.

When Fan Wei saw this result, he thought about Li Qingyuan's decision to go to the Taishan Mountains, and he didn't think about how to return to Shouzhang Dongshan to make a comeback, so he immediately turned around and went to Pingyin, intending to enter the mountains from there and hide in the Mengyin Mountains.

At this time, Li Qingyuan led his troops through Linxi and camped in a small forest, and Li Qingyuan planned to go out day and night to avoid exposure as much as possible.

After Shu Hede inquired about the situation and learned that the bandit brigade had fled south, it was already afternoon, and while sending soldiers to pursue him, he told the nearby counties to close the city gates, strictly check the seal and seal letters, and closely monitor the movements in the county town to prevent the bandits from making trouble in the city.

This time, Shu Hede's soldiers did not follow the loss, but chased all the way to the direction of Fan Wei's escape under the guidance of the squire and the people, and also captured many escaped bandits on the way.

It's a pity that when they chased to Pingyin, they were told that the bandits had entered the mountain, so the soldiers didn't dare to chase them, so they reported to Shu Hede, who was also big, and he saw his bleak career.

He wrote a letter to ask for guilt, and organized the Qing army to fight before the emperor reprimanded him, maybe he could find the bandits' nest in the mountains?

It's just a pity that Shu Hede has been looking in the mountains for three days, and he didn't see any trace of the anti-thief, but Qufu said that there were thieves crossing the border.

Qianlong's rebuke decree came down, took off the top of the flower feather, made meritorious service for the crime, and demanded that he must exterminate the bandits within ten months, which still reprimanded him for being burned to death by Li Qingyuan in the reeds of nearly 10,000 people.

It is estimated that it will take a few days to come over, Shu Hede rose up and planned to fight, all the way south, and finally found traces of the bandits in the east of Surabaya County.

Why is that? It's because Fan Wei ran too quickly, he only remembered that he forgot to bring food with gold and silver, and he could save some money in the first few days, so he insisted on it, but then he had no choice, so he had to find a way to get food from some villages.

Shandong has always been seriously troubled, so villages around the country have the habit of building walls to protect themselves, and it takes half a day for Fan Wei's siege skills to build a village, so the itinerary naturally slowed down.

Moreover, there is not much grain that can be provided by a village, and this month even the landlord's family does not have much surplus grain, and the surplus grain is sold for money.

So Fan Wei ran for four days to fight two villages, and also robbed a mountain village, Shu Hede led people into the mountain recently, Fan Wei broke a few days that fear has passed, thinking that it is not a way to run around like this.

Think about when the father-in-law was there, everyone could still fight the Qing army ambush, and the only one who beat the Qing demon general lost his armor, I heard that he was beheaded by the Qing Demon Emperor in the end, it happened that the mountainous area was a lot of terrain, and Fan Wei planned to give the Qing demon another ambush.

It's time for Shu Hede to come to the limit, he has been desperately trying to eliminate the bandits in the past two days, so as to compensate for his mistakes, this time he took the initiative to lead troops into the mountains just to hide, and planned to take down the bandits before reading the holy decree.

There is a place called Shengshui River in the south of Surabaya County, and there is a canyon called Shengshui Valley on the side, which is the only way to enter the Lianqing Mountain in the south of Qufu.

When he arrived at this holy water canyon, he rushed into it without sending scouts, and as a result, Fan Wei came out of the canyon and threw stones down, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties for a while, and Shu Hede was unlucky enough to be hit by a stone and was directly killed.

The Qing army was defeated, and Fan Wei has been pursued for more than 20 miles, and took advantage of the situation to occupy Surabaya County, for a time Fan Wei's power rose sharply, Fan Wei learned the lesson of the last robbery, and also listened to the narration of the people who participated in the public trial in Linxi with Li Qingyuan.

decided to imitate Li Qingyuan to hold a public trial conference in Surabaya County, but the idea was very good, but after a circle, his subordinates came back and told him that this big family in Surabaya was either surnamed Kong, or a relative of the Kong family.......

And the Qingshui Sect was born out of the Bagua Sect, and the Bagua Sect called Confucius a saint descending to earth, so he was a family with them, and Fan Wei was dumbfounded when he heard it, because he had always proclaimed that he was the new leader of the Qingshui Sect, and since he recognized the Qingshui Sect, he could not deny Confucius.

So after Fan Wei saw that he didn't have to rob it, he hurriedly recruited a group of believers in the city and went east with the troops.

And Li Qingyuan went out day and night for six days, and finally crossed the North China Plain to reach his final destination, and also plunged into the mountains, but the mountain forest that Li Qingyuan entered was Taihang Mountain.
