The sky gradually brightened, and the wilderness outside the southeast corner of the naval camp was full of corpses, a total of 283 corpses, many river thieves were originally only injured, but they were also killed by the red-eyed naval soldiers, and the corpses were all gathered together, Li Yanqing was checking the weapons and armor they carried, and it could be seen that the weapons and equipment of the river thieves were very weak, and there was basically no leather armor on their bodies, and the knives and spears used were relatively rough, that is, the level of village soldiers.

"These weapons are still the township soldiers' ordnance captured ten years ago, and they are still in use now!"

Zhou Ping next to him recognized these shoddy weapons, shook his head and said, "I really don't understand, the Black-Hearted Dragon King has accumulated a lot of wealth, why don't you buy better armor, swords, and spears?" ”

"Maybe he doesn't think it's necessary!"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "After all, they are river thieves, and the target is ordinary merchant ships and ordinary people, so they don't need such good equipment." ”

At this time, Zhang Hu ran over and reported: "County Jun, Zhang Shun sent someone to send a group of prisoners of war, about 20 people. ”

"Look at it!"

Li Yanqing and Zhou Ping walked briskly towards the river.

There were more than 20 water thieves kneeling by the river, their hands tied behind their backs, all of them were terrified, and the village soldiers were standing all around, and at this time someone shouted: "The county gentleman is here!" ”

The villagers got out of the way one after another, Li Yanqing and Zhou Ping walked up, only to see a few small boats moored on the river, and one of Zhang Shun's subordinates hugged Li Yanqing and said: "This is the twenty or so prisoners of war we captured last night, and the leader asked me to hand them over to the county monarch to deal with!" ”

"How was the water battle last night?" Li Yanqing asked.

"Last night, they only came with a dozen small boats, more than a hundred people, and half of us were annihilated, but unfortunately Du Yang escaped."

After a pause, the subordinate bowed down again and asked, "The leader of my family also wants to know, how many enemy troops were annihilated by your army last night?" ”

"Five hundred people were wiped out, including Du Heixin's eldest son Du Yue, who told Zhang Shun for me that the iron should be struck while it was hot, and we will set off for Dongting Lake in the next two days."

"The villain understands, he must tell me!"

Zhang Shun saluted, and the two small boats turned around and left, at this time, Yang Ju stepped forward and asked, "County Jun, how to deal with these prisoners of war?" ”

"Is there a good way for the county?"

Yang Ju thought for a while, "Either hand it over to the state and let the state dispose of it!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Those corrupt Confucians in the state are superstitious and educated, maybe they will be released, thus leaving a disaster for the township!" ”

"What is the county gentleman going to do?"

Li Yanqing didn't answer Yang Ju's words, and turned back to ask Zhang Hu, "How many prisoners of war are there?" ”

Zhang Hu bowed down and said, "If you add these twenty-two people, there are about two hundred and forty people in total!" ”

Li Yanqing said coldly: "Tie them up, push them to the river, and kill them all!" ”

Yang Ju next to him was shocked, "County Jun, they have already surrendered, how can they kill again?" ”

Li Yanqing snorted coldly, "They have done a lot of evil, and they have killed so many merchant ships, and it is already cheap to kill them now." ”

Li Yanqing immediately ordered Zhang Hu, "Take them away in batches, then tie them up and take them to the river to be killed!" ”

"Obey!" Zhang Hu rushed away.

Yang Ju was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, at this time, Zhou Ping sighed on the side and said: "Although it is more cruel to kill them, think about how they killed the captured township soldiers ten years ago, think about how they ransacked merchant ships, and also tied up the merchants and threw them into the river, and which young female dependents are even more miserable, it can only be said that they are also to blame for their fate today." ”

Zhou Ping said to Li Yanqing again: "I am in favor of killing them, but will killing them now make the Black-Hearted Dragon King have no way out and fight to the death with us?" ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "Only strong warriors will fight to the death in the face of a desperate road, this kind of rabble that will be defeated in a battle, the iron will will only accelerate their collapse." ”

Zhou Ping was convinced, bowed down and said: "The county gentleman is high! ”

Li Yanqing immediately ordered, "Bring me Mai Shi and Xie Bo!" ”

After a while, Mai Shi and Xie Bo both stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "See the county king!" ”

"How is the training of the navy on the river now?"

"There is no problem with some basic formations, but there is still some lack of heat, and we need to train for more than ten days."

Li Yanqing shook his head, "There is no time left, train for another day today, and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Obey!"

The two rushed away, and Zhou Ping asked in a low voice, "County Jun, are you too eager?" ”

Li Yanqing said slowly: "Du Heixin must have been thunderous when he got the news, I was afraid that he would calm down, once he calmed down, I am afraid that he would escape, and he must seize the fighter plane and annihilate the Blackheart Dragon King in one fell swoop!" ”

Last night, Li Yanqing witnessed the combat effectiveness of this river thief, it was not an army at all, it was a group of rabble thieves, and they collapsed when they encountered an ambush, but it was ridiculous that he actually looked down on them, Li Yanqing had decided not to wait anymore, and directly sent troops to suppress the bandits.

．．．．．．．

The news that the river thieves were about to be killed by the river spread throughout Jiayu County, and thousands of people ran out of the county town to watch, only to see more than 200 people kneeling on the riverside with their hands tied behind their backs, blindfolded with black cloths, and their mouths were also blocked, and many river thieves were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

Behind them, hundreds of soldiers were holding snow-bright swords, eager to try, at this time, the drums on the sacrificial platform were loud, and Zhang Hu waved the spirit flag and shouted: "Cut!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers raised their swords and slashed down, and the tens of thousands of people watching by the river suddenly exclaimed.

According to Li Yanqing's intentions, the heads of this group of river thieves will gather together with the heads of the black-hearted dragon king and other bandits, and build a Zhenjiang tower by the river to warn future generations of river thieves.

This massacre of more than 200 river thieves by the river at one time not only shocked Jiayu County and Ezhou, but also shocked the entire state capitals in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Although many officials did not think so, Li Yanqing won the unanimous support and support of the middle and lower classes, and the people who were harassed by the river thieves saw the hope of Jing'an on the Yangtze River, and Li Yanqing was affectionately called the 'river god' by the people.

．．．．．．

Three days later, the news of the death of the eldest son and the annihilation of the whole army of 500 soldiers finally reached the ears of Du Heixin of Dongting Lake, Du Heixin was shocked at first, he couldn't believe that the township soldiers of a county could actually kill their own gangsters who were rampant on the Yangtze River.

But his military advisor Yang Zhaoru quickly calmed down, and realized that something was wrong, their sneak attack on the Jiayu County Navy camp was originally planned more precisely, there were internal responses, there were spies, it stands to reason, there is no need to deal with an ordinary state and county at all, the water army can directly destroy the other party.

But this time, there was a big fight, what is the problem? Yang Zhaoru thought that the problem was that they didn't know the other party's commander at all, and from the description of the soldiers who fled back, they encountered an ambush deployment that only the regular army had, and Yang Zhaoru couldn't believe that this ambush was actually from the hand of a county commander.

Who is this Jiayu County Commander? Yang Zhaoru felt that this was the most urgent thing to figure out, and then he could think about how to take revenge.

At noon that day, Yang Zhaoru received another piece of news that Jiayu County had killed more than 200 prisoners of war by the river a few days ago, and this news made Yang Zhaoru feel like a thunderbolt from the sky.

He realizes that this time they have encountered a devilish enemy.

Yang Zhaoru walked quickly to the Juyi Building where the owner of the village was, and saw that the gate of the courtyard in the distance was full of old and weak women and children, as many as two or three hundred people, all mourning and crying, "We want to see the owner of the village!" ”

These old and weak women and children are all the family members of the five hundred subordinates brought by Du Yue, and they are so anxious that they all want to know the situation of their families, whether they are dead or alive? But Du Heixin couldn't give them any answers.

Although Yang Zhaoru knew the answer, he didn't dare to meet them, so he had to take a detour to another path and enter the courtyard of Juyi Building through the side door.

There were still more than a dozen steps away from the room, and I heard Du Hei's thunderous shouting and scolding from the Juyi Building, several maids at the door were trembling with fright, and more than a dozen personal soldiers were so frightened that they lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Yang Zhaoru was stunned, after so many days, is the owner of the village still angry? When he saw the blood stains on the steps, he was even more puzzled, so he asked one of his soldiers, "What happened?" ”

The soldier whispered, "The fifth lady and the two maids have been killed!" ”

The fifth lady's surname is Jiang, and she is a concubine of Du Heixin, Yang Zhaoru was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Today, the owner of the village sent someone to clean up the room in the big ya, and found a lock of hair of the fifth lady, and the owner of the village was furious, so he killed the fifth lady and her two personal maids with his own hands."

Yang Zhaoru sighed secretly, in fact, many people knew that Du Yue had an affair with several of his father's concubines, this fifth lady just hit the limelight, Du Hei's heart was full of anger, how could he not kill her?

It's just that..... When is it now, the owner of the village is still angry about this kind of thing, Yang Zhaoru was so anxious that he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Yang Zhaoru walked into the lobby of the Juyi Pavilion, and saw that Du Hei's face was blue with anger, and he was swinging his sword to chop the furniture in the hall, slashing and scolding at the same time, several pro-soldiers were hiding in the corner, and no one dared to come forward to persuade them.

"The enemy is about to be killed, please calm down."

Yang Zhaoru shouted, as if reciting a fixation spell, Du Heixin's sword-wielding hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the whole person froze.

"What did you say?" Du Heixin looked back and asked in surprise.
