A sentry glanced at Zhang Chengye with disdain, turned around and walked in, Zhang Shoucai, who was standing in the distance, looked strange, thinking to himself Isn't the Nanshan thief a small leader, why is he so careful with the soldiers below.

Zhang Shoucai was miserable in this Xiajin County, but he didn't know the news outside, this Zhang Chengye brought 200 people to join Li Meng, and he originally had the title of deputy of the Yanding team, but as soon as Liu Zeqing came over, Zhang Nanshan saw that Liu Zeqing's official position was much higher than Li Meng's, and his soldiers were several times more.

Without hesitation, he took people to take refuge in Liu Zeqing, and as the leader of the way, he knocked out the strongholds where the three salt dings were stationed, but Liu Zeqing had many generals and generals, and he didn't look down on this kind of grass platform team of less than 300 people at all, and after giving a general false name, he was stationed in a poor place.

How could a scoundrel like Zhang Chengye be willing to be placed in this way, and when Li Meng sent someone to find him, he immediately turned around and took refuge again.

Originally, he thought that Li Meng would shrink or swallow this breath, but Li Meng led someone to come to the door, and he was also the title of a general, in summary, this is a completely sure appearance, Zhang Chengye made a simple analysis, and said that he was a lard for a while, and this time he returned to Lord Li and stood on the side of light and justice.

Li Meng is quite disdainful of this kind of capricious villain, but when he comes to the area of Dongchang Mansion, he really needs this kind of local snake, and there is not a good saying in modern times "unite all the forces that can be united".

It stands to reason that the barracks should be stationed outside the city, but in the city, there are city walls as fortifications, secondly, there are civilian houses as barracks, and thirdly, it is convenient to supplement supplies.

Mr. Liu Buqian, who was stationed in Xiajin County, was really a little complacent, and finally got the opportunity to be stationed in the county seat. Life is very comfortable. Seeing that he can still fill a room for himself and a daughter-in-law, where can I find this kind of good thing, wait until the money is enough, and then send some to the top, just stay here and don't leave.

Originally, Zhang Shoucai, a big household in the county, has always been very resistant. But on the night of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, two pigs, two sheep, and more than 100 catties of wine were slaughtered and sent to the barracks.

Pigs, sheep and wine, these things are enough for the thousands of soldiers under the command of the general to enjoy, and the more than 400 soldiers are very happy. At night, even the sentries who were scattered outside sneaked back to eat meat and drink wine. Moreover, the rich family in the county also called two prostitutes. Now the atmosphere is even more cheerful, it is simply a carnival

However, in Xiajin County, except for the military camp, the rest of the place is quiet and abnormal, the poor people naturally sleep with the door closed, the big families are closed, and the men are nervous at the door to prepare, cautious.

More than a dozen Liu soldiers guarding the east city gate had already fallen to the ground, and the rich families in the city brought wine and meat. diligently persuaded and was having a good time, but those strong men who gave wine and meat rushed in with knives and axes to cut and kill indiscriminately, and immediately settled all the accounts.

The gates of the county town opened very simply, and soon they were opened silently. A strong man shook a torch in the darkness on the opposite side. After a while, there was also a point of light on the other side responding. The strong man who delivered wine and meat hurriedly ran towards the city. When they went back to their respective homes, the barracks still made a lot of trouble.

Under the guidance of the lanterns hanging on the city tower, four hundred cavalry rushed towards the county seat of Xiajin under the leadership of Li Meng.

When he rushed to the gate of the city, although the sound of horses' hooves was muffled, he could clearly hear the loud shouting in the city, and of course, the city was not too big.

Those people in the city, maybe for the New Year, or for something, there was a lantern hanging outside the door between several families, and following the guidance of this lantern, the cavalry rushed to the door of Liu's military camp in a blink of an eye.

The barracks was nothing but a large house broken by thieves, and there was not even a sentry at the door, but the gate was so open, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves must have made those inside finally aware of it, and the shouting and cheering gradually quieted down.

Li Meng turned around and shouted at the cavalry behind him:

"Not right away, kill!"

Before the words fell, Li Meng's legs clamped the horse's belly, and he had already rushed in, and he could see four or five officers and soldiers with panicked faces trotting towards this side, Li Meng kept the horses, the big knife in his hand was already raised, and he staggered over, and the big knife slashed straight down, and the soldier held a single knife in his hand, full of wine and food, and did not react quickly, and when he looked up, the knife had already been chopped down.

These people still didn't believe their eyes, thinking about how there could be a large number of horseback warriors in this Xiajin County, until the soldier at the front was cut in half, and blood was splashed, and then they reacted.

However, it was useless to react, and the cavalry behind them had already followed, with sharp knives and axes in their hands, leaving no life at all.

The cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion did not bring firearms or spears this time, but only held knives and axes, so that there was some meaning of rogue horse thieves, but it was enough to have this knife and axe for the rush in this house.

Screams began to sound, and the soldiers who were still in the courtyard watched in horror as the cavalry with sharp weapons in hand rushed in from everywhere, slashing and slaughtering.

It is naturally very inconvenient to eat meat and drink wine with weapons, and those who sleep with prostitutes in their arms feel very inconvenient to even wear clothes, and when the cavalry rushes in and comes out of the wine bowl, meat and bones in their hands, there is no weapon to resist.

There are kneeling and begging for mercy, but those "horse thieves" can reach it is a knife down, can not reach or dodge, directly stepped over, it seems that the other party does not accept surrender, a group of people shouted and ran to the back door, but I don't know when, the back door has been firmly resisted.

I couldn't open it at all, I climbed over the wall, and when I got to the top of the wall, I saw that there were also cavalry waiting outside, although the house was large, but after a hundred cavalry rushed in, and after slashing and killing, except for the people who hid in the house, there was no living person standing in sight.

The cavalry rushed into the house, and there was no movement at all in that environment, so this was the last place for the survivors of the thousand generals and his subordinates, and when they heard the sound of hooves outside, the "horse thieves" had already retreated, and the thousand generals breathed a sigh of relief, put on their clothes with all hands and feet, and were thinking about how to report to Shangfeng.

But hearing the sound of footsteps, many people hurriedly ran into the house, and those "horse thieves" did not speak at all except shouting at the horses, but these people walking had some whispers, and they could understand it when they stopped carefully, which was the local accent of Xiajin County.

This Qian Zong was cold from head to toe, and shouted in a hissed voice:

"I'm an officer of the imperial court, and you're doing this to rebel!!"

He scolded like this, the outside was a little quiet, but then they all moved, many things were piled up directly around the house, listening to the sound of the Suosuo, this Qian always reacted at once, there was firewood and grass piled up outside, just about to speak, the two prostitutes lying next to him were already jumping and rushing outside, Qian Zong held a knife in his hand and immediately cut down one, but that did not prevent it and ran out directly.

But the two soldiers also went out, and when they reached the door, they heard the sound of screams and blunt beatings, and after a while the two soldiers were silent.

"Folks, folks, I spared my little life, I still have wives and children in my small family, and I didn't do anything when I came to this Xiajin!"

The people outside were still silent, but they heard a shout, someone threw the torch on the firewood and grass, the wax moon was dry and dry, and the firewood and grass burned when they saw the wind, and the mansion was dilapidated, after the firewood and grass were piled up, after the fire, there were raging fires everywhere.

There were officers and soldiers who wanted to rush out, but at this time there was already fire everywhere, a few lucky enough to rush to the wall, there were knives and axes waiting outside, and the screams gradually became louder, this is not far from the Xiajin County Ya, but the Xiajin County Ya and the officials in the city are closed doors, so they don't hear it.

Li Meng rode on a horse, looking coldly at the fire in front of him, the streets near here were all men mobilized by large families nearby, listening to the screams, looking at the fire, all faces were frightened.

Zhang Shoucai and several big families stood in front of Li Meng's horse, and Tang Er, who was on the side, opened his mouth and said:

"This thousand always colluded with bandits, opened the city in the middle of the night, and as a result, the two sides had a dispute, thousands of people and thieves killed each other, both lost, you and so on to gather the people to protect themselves, the thieves have no chance to take advantage of it, so go out of the city, do you know!"

This reason full of flaws is said, those big families nodded like pecking rice, no one dared to say a word, the fire was soaring, the snow was shining brightly, and the blood on some cavalry knives and axes could be seen.

"Zhang Chengye!"

Li Meng said hello, and the southern mountain thief trotted over from the crowd, and knelt down and kowtowed in front of the horse as soon as he arrived at the horse, Li Meng ignored it and asked:

"Are there any of Liu Zeqing's people nearby?"

"If you go back to your lordship, there are still 200 people stationed at the Zhangjiacun ferry twenty miles away from here."
