The thirty-fifth round: I happened to meet the four lists and returned to Shun, and the full moon day Xuan Ce attacked the village
Looking at the red wheel falling in the west, soon the moon hit the east, the gentleman on the road ran to the store, and the wild birds stayed in the forest. Bandits, the public enemy of every era. Some bandits should be co-opted if they are angry; However, some bandits have done all their bad deeds, and this should be vigorously eradicated, only in this way can the people not close their doors at night.
As mentioned last time, this Wang Xuance has ordered Zhou and Chen to secretly train more than 1,000 strong soldiers. Although it is secretive, this matter cannot escape the eyes of these bandits. In the small half-moon, they already learned that many villages were training soldiers; However, after looking at it, they were all scattered, and the banner was to guard the village and protect the people, so the bandit leader naturally didn't care too much. However, they feel more and more that the days of robbing houses are not easy, but fortunately, with the food they came back from the last robbery, this is enough for them to eat for a while!
On this day, Wang Xuance was discussing with Zhou Chen and Jiang Xiancheng how to capture Jin Jialing and exterminate these bandits in one fell swoop! The soldiers are also fine, the food is also sufficient, although it is feasible to attack strongly, but in the face of the terrain of Jinjialing that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there will be heavy casualties. As Jiang Xiancheng mentioned earlier, these brothers are all native-born men; If this is not good, explain it to the father. Therefore, the unified plan reached is to outwit the first, and the second is to attack!
Although Wang Xuance and others have been in battle for a long time, they are very worried about how to outwit Jin Jialing. If there is a person who can cooperate with the inside and outside, it is very appropriate, but when you think about it, the reality is always so ruthless! Instead of thinking about it cluelessly, it is better to go to Yaozhai for a walk, after all, they are very familiar with this area, so they took Chen Maocai to Yaozhai!
The two came to Yaozhai, but saw that the little sister was also here. King Yao thought that he was concerned about the matter, but he never thought that he was confused by how to outwit it, so he came here to drink and relax. Hearing this, the two of them were also moved by Wang Xuance's profound righteousness.
The four of them exchanged some brief pleasantries. In addition, at present, he only knows that this Jin Jialing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he doesn't know anything else, so Wang Xuance wants to hear about the past and present life of this Jin Jialing bandit! However, King Yao did not explain this in detail. I only know that this Jin Jialing used to be a borderless place, because the mountains are high and the forests are dense and it is not easy to survive, so few people are willing to go to this place. But about ten years ago, such a group of bandits suddenly came, and I heard that they were the captains of the Central Plains who took refuge, and they occupied the mountains here. It is precisely because of this bandit's well-trained that the news rarely spreads!
Several people were at a loss for clues, but saw Zhou Zeng hurriedly come to report: "Big brother, there are bandits who have returned to obedience." They were surprised to hear this. It is precisely because of this Jin Jialing's well-trained bandits and strict management that although they have been caught over the years, they have been tortured many times, and they are still tight-lipped like a bottle, how can someone suddenly be obedient!
It turned out that a few days ago, several bandits went down the mountain to loot, and they happened to meet Zhou Zeng patrolling with the officials, and they were caught by the way. Unexpectedly, one of the bandits inside was Zhang Sibang, the cousin of the official Zhang Sihai. It was Wang Xuance who mentioned the idea of joining forces here that Jiang Xiancheng remembered this. Although Zhang Sibang has been missing from home for many years, after all, blood is thicker than water, so Jiang Xiancheng and Zhang Sihai repeatedly affirmed their righteousness, and he was obedient!
Hey, after saying this, Wang Xuance seemed to feel that things had an eyebrow, and asked casually: "Where is the person!" ”
"It's still locked up in the county jail!"
But when he saw his eyes roll like this, he thought about it. Then he got up and said, "Quick, go back to the county office." ”
It turns out that this Wang Xuance has consulted this, since this four lists have been prepared to return to the Shun County Government, if they can be allowed to return to the tiger's den as an internal response, then all problems will be solved. When I arrived at the county office, after communicating with Jiang Xiancheng and Zhang Sihai, I told everyone what I thought just now. Several people felt that this plan was feasible. So he was ready to interrogate Zhang Sibang again!
It turned out that the bandit leader of Jin Jialing was named Liu Heihu, and he had been leading them to rob their homes. Because of the good training and the fact that they act in groups, they can succeed in most cases. In the early years, he was caught in the mountains and became a bandit, although his reputation was not good, but he was not good at eating and drinking spicy food and clothing in the village, so he didn't think about coming back. A few years ago, there was another bandit named Zhang Harrier, and I heard that he had worshiped Liu Heihu before; Because of the serious disaster in the Central Plains, in order to avoid the disaster, he defected to him.
It was only then that they figured out who the well-trained bandit leader was. As soon as they heard Zhang Harrier, Zhou Zeng and Wang Xuance became energetic. After some descriptions of this and that, these two people finally understood that this old boy couldn't find him for so many years, and it turned out that he was hiding under their noses. not only gritted his teeth with hatred, but also wanted to kill him with a knife.
Hearing Zhang Sibang say this, everyone also understood the reason why the bandits were well-trained, precisely because both of them joined the army in Yangzhou Road at the end of the Sui Dynasty and had experience in leading troops to fight. Later, with Yu Wenhua and attached to Dou Jiande, and then after experiencing the failure of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou, after some "enlightenment", I felt that it was better to join the army and fight than to be a bandit. So he fell into the grass, and then because the government in the Central Plains pursued very tightly, this Liu Heihu took a dozen brothers, all the way south to the Huangshui Jin Jialing generation, and saw that the terrain was good, so he started his old business. Needless to say, Zhang Harrier was also hunted down by the government after the incident a few years ago, so he fled south here. There was the later annexation of large and small bandits and the expansion of Jin Jialing.
After understanding these internal information, Wang Xuance said to Zhang Sibang in a sincere tone: "Since you have chosen to submit, I have something to ask my brother for, but this matter is quite risky. You two brothers are finally reunited, and if you don't want to, I won't force it; If it succeeds, it will be the first achievement! ”
"Mingfu, please?"
"If I send you back again, as an internal response, I don't know what you think?"
When Zhang Sibang heard Wang Xuance's words, he returned with a righteous spirit: "That's what I mean. To tell the truth, this bandit is also at the end, if he can really make such a contribution, he will naturally come back to live in peace, and it is much better than being a bandit, so I am willing to listen to the Ming Mansion to send! ”
They went down the mountain this time to find out the news, but when they met Zhou Zeng, they gave everyone a nest, so Wang Xuance put the strategy in his ear lightly, and Zhang Sibang was already clear with a smile. Looking at Zhang Sibang, who was transparent at one point, his brother Zhang Sihai was also willing to act with him, and everyone was overjoyed when he heard it. I feel that this can be done!
Zhang Sibang led Zhang Sihai back to Jinjialing with the state of mind of being injured and guilty, and the bandits guarding the village saw that Zhang Sibang, who was covered in injuries, came back, and hurriedly opened the door of the village and welcomed them in. As soon as I arrived at this righteous hall, I saw Zhang Sibang crying with tears in his eyes. This Liu Heihu and Zhang Harrier were stunned when they saw that he was crying so sadly when they saw that they were all injured, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on, what about the others?" ”。
I only heard Zhang Sibang say in a ashamed tone according to Wang Xuance's strategy: "According to the order of the eldest brother, I never thought that after going down the mountain, I met a reckless man named Zhou Zeng, and the brothers who killed were scattered, so I was caught by them, and I was seriously injured." I haven't been home for all these years, and I don't know the situation at home, and I never thought that my cousin Zhang Sihai was on an errand in the county government, and when he saw me, he rescued me like this! Because he broke his brother, he came back and asked his brother to punish him. ”
Liu Heihu reprimanded sharply: "After breaking so many brothers, you are not afraid that I will kill you when you come back!" ”
"The eldest brother has always been kind to the younger brother, and between heaven and earth, he must be righteous and trustworthy. Even if I die, I will die at the hands of my eldest brother. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and waited for the butcher's knife of the black tiger.
But seeing this Liu Heihu coming over with a big knife, he behaved like Zhang Sibang's neck; Zhang Sihai watched this scene and immediately rushed up to intercede for his brother, but was kicked to the side by Liu Heihu. said that it was too late, it was fast, and I saw that Liu Heihu was stopped by a big hand at the moment when he raised the big knife and was about to cut it down: "Brother Xian doesn't have to be angry, brother is also loyal and courageous, let him live" The person who blocked it was Zhang Harrier.
Liu Heihu immediately put down the butcher's knife and personally helped up the four lists. It turned out that this was a good show tacitly by the two of them, and the purpose was to verify whether the four lists were defective. Looking at Zhang Sibang, who was so not afraid of death, there was the step that Zhang Harrier blocked just now.
The two of them turned around and sat down on the top chair in the Gathering Hall. Zhang Sibang kowtowed with emotion to thank him, and Zhang Sihai also felt a little relieved. At this time, I only heard Zhang Harrier ask: "Who did you say was the person who arrested you, Zhou Zeng?" You know the details."
Zhang Sibang said that he didn't know, but at this time, Zhang Sihai looked at Zhang Harrier, who was like a wolf and a tiger, and then replied: "The little one knows its origin!" ”
Zhang Harizi then motioned for him to continue: "This week was once here with Wang Xuance of Huangshui, the tiger's back and the bear's waist are fierce and vicious, I heard that he was born as a bandit before, and then he was incorporated by Wang Xuance, and he has been following him." He is really a tyrannical person, just because the small ones embezzled some bribes from the people, and often didn't want to see the little ones, either scolding or beating, so he took this opportunity to save his brother."
Although this harrier has long known that Wang Xuan Ce is in charge of Huangshui, after all, he is an official and a bandit, so he rarely provokes this person from Huangshui County. It was only at this time that he found out that Zeng had mixed up with Wang Xuance this week.
So this harrier explained all the situations he had encountered before, as well as many festivals, to Liu Heihu. With Zhang Sihai's painless account of the internal situation of the county government, although it also made the two of them a little more vigilant, but fortunately, they still don't have many soldiers now, and they don't have the ability to attack this Jin Jialing, so they feel a lot more at ease.
In this way, Zhang Sibang was trusted by Liu Heihu again because of his sincere apology; This Zhang Sihai was bullied by Zhou Zeng and them because of the crime of corruption in the Yamen, and he was also trusted by Zhang Harrier.
With the beginning of Neiying, the two brothers were not idle at all during this time; According to the previous patrol practice, Jin Jialing was completely turned. When one day when I inspected the back mountain, I found such a cliff, called the Sky Cliff, about ten zhang high, because it was steep, so there was no minions to guard it. This Sihai has also followed Wang Xuance Zhou for a long time, and knows that this place is an excellent place to launch a sneak attack, so he marked it in detail.
It didn't take long for the deployment of Jin Jialing's troops and topographic maps, and two of them took advantage of a gap to pass it to Wang Xuance's desk. Wang Xuance and the others were very pleased when they saw the picture of this cottage, the fine drawing and the strict prohibition of drawing. In the place of Lingkong Cliff, it was deliberately marked in red, and everyone also understood the situation, and after some discussion, they felt that this matter was feasible. So, let Zhou Zeng hurriedly organize another three or four hundred soldiers to carefully practice this climbing skill to ensure that one hit is hit.
Now that they have obtained the information, they have to find a relatively loose time for the bandits to attack Jin Jialing. Through intelligence, it was learned that on the fifteenth day of every month, the bandits always had a large gathering to eat and drink, so they set the date of the attack on the day of the full moon. When the bandits were drunk with tinctures, Wang Xuance Chen Maocai led a large team of men and horses to attract bandits from the front, and Zhou Zeng led the rear team of men and horses, climbing directly from the volley cliff to the back of the village, and after the attack, as an internal response, he was not in a hurry to cut and kill, and sent a team of elite soldiers to open the gate of the village, and attack back and forth, and capture this Jin Jialing in one fell swoop.
After some time of training, these three or four hundred soldiers have become quite proficient in the art of rock climbing. The two kings of Miao Yao watched this scene, and they were also pleased that the sturdy young man in the village had such ability.
The long river of history is rolling, and how many swords and swords have flashed. It is said that on the day of the full moon, the bandits of Jinjialing still ate and drank with good wine and meat according to the past practice; After being full of wine and food, they shook their heads one by one and lay staggering. This Liu Heihu and Zhang Harrier naturally drank a lot, but they haven't fallen asleep yet. Zhang Sibang and Zhang Sihai didn't drink much because they knew about today's major events and just waited to answer them. Seeing that the big guys were drunk, the two not only pretended to be drunk silently, but also toasted Liu Heihu and Zhang Harrier a few glasses from time to time.
At this moment, on the school military field in front of the county government, Wang Xuance had already ordered Zhou Zeng to urgently gather the elite soldiers of each village. I saw that on the military field of this school, the well-trained soldiers trained by Zhou and Chen looked very imposing. Wearing armor, holding a knife in his left hand, holding a shield in his right hand, carrying this mulberry bow, hanging this wolf tooth arrow, all of them are full of spirit and heroic. Because they knew that they were sending troops today, King Yao and his little sister also went into battle, ready to show their strength and completely eliminate the bandits in Jinjialing.
But seeing this, Wang Xuance said impassionedly: "Brothers, this Jin Jialing bandit has been bothering me for many years, for the safety of the people, for us, we can live and work in peace and contentment in the future, and no longer be bullied by them, today is the time to make an end!" I only hope that you will work hard and give me back a peaceful time! If you don't obey the orders and escape from the battle, you will not only be sorry for my father and elder of Huangshui, but will also be severely punished; Anyone who can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions will be rewarded with ten acres of land ....... ”
A generous word of grace and power, the blood of everyone who said it was boiling, and the morale was high. According to the prior distribution, some changes were made, Wang Xuance led 600 soldiers and Yao Wang Xiaomei to attract the enemy from the front of the village, this week Zeng and Chen Maocai led 400 brothers to have Zhang Sibang Zhang Sihai brothers to respond, from the volley cliff straight into the heart of the village!
The group came to this Jin Jialing with high spirits, and looked at the time when it was almost the same. Wang Xuance immediately ordered 600 soldiers to line up neatly, showing the momentum of attack. When the minions guarding the village in Jin Jialing saw this situation, they immediately panicked, and hurriedly reported the two leaders, Liu Heihu and Zhang Harrier.
I saw that Zhang Harrier and Liu Heihu were already drunk at this time, one was lying on the ground and sleeping, and the other was still drinking this.
When Liu Heihu heard this, he was quite surprised, and wondered if so many soldiers from Wang Xuance were confused, so he casually asked: "Did you drink too much and be dazzled?"
When this minion heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly returned: "Big brother, how can you be dazzled, you listen to the shouting and killing outside this village, these are all Wang Xuance's soldiers." ”
At this time, Zhang Harrier had also been woken up, and suddenly felt that the situation was wrong. Listening to the shouts and killings outside, the two of them immediately hurriedly put on their clothes from the drunken haze, woke up the brothers, and prepared to face Wang Xuance......
