Early the next morning, Huang Jie followed Di Hao to a cave village, and when he arrived at the ground, he found that it was really a cave, and there were more than 100 families living in it.

Huang Jie was not interested in having any words with these people, but just asked Di Hao to take out the copper coins hidden in the cave and share them with everyone, as for the groceries and cloth and a very small amount of gold and silver, they were put into the public treasury, and a Sun Jiaerlang named Dong Qing was temporarily appointed as the treasury manager. Seeing that the old and young in the cave were still wearing tattered summer clothes, they simply picked out a lot of cloth suitable for autumn and winter and asked them to make their own clothes.

As for the extermination of the other thieves in Chashan, it can't be done overnight, after discussion, Di Hao proposed to find someone to be a lobbyist first, if you can say that it is the best, it is really not possible to use knives and guns.

And yesterday, Di Hao's minions also suffered heavy casualties, even if there are Yang Zongbao, Yang Huai, Sun Li, and Sun Xin as the main force, it is really difficult to exterminate those thieves with dozens of people head-on.

Huang Jie simply handed over the matter to Sun Li, and took Sun Xin and Zhu Gao to take care of the transfer.

Before noon that day, Huang Jie did not wait for the exact news from Huangzhou, so he led the team east out of Chashan, and then passed through Xishui, and gave up two transfer stations between Xinshui County and Qizhou, and rushed to Qizhou before nightfall, and chose a hotel to settle in.

Soon, Yao Rong and Ma Wan came together, and the first news they brought was that Yao Zheng turned the corner, and Sun San's mother-in-law said that the Sun family was a descendant of Sun Simiao. Another is that the two adults, Zhizhou and Tongju, agreed to Huang Jie's appointment as the deputy envoy for the transfer, and then the two personally signed the document on behalf of Yao Zheng, and brought the letter and official seal of the envoy to Yao Rong. He also sent Ma Wan, the head of the Ma Kuai class, to be Huang Jie's adjutant.

And the third news is that Captain Gao Yu of Tokyo sent a Japanese army to Huangzhou. has settled in Wanhuang Lianzhuang, and nominally changes the defense. But in private, he was strengthening the defense of Lianzhuang, and Liu Yu also wrote a letter by hand and asked Yao Rong to bring it.

This is 500 people, that is to say, Lianzhuang now has 700 troops stationed, which is equivalent to the defense force of an ordinary small county.

After Huang Jie took Liu Yu's handwritten book and read it, he also lit it on the candle flame, and then said in a deep voice: "Uncle and father-in-law have worked hard all the way!" Someone has already arranged a meal, and let's use it first! ”

After Yao Rong and Ma Wan left. Huang Jie said to Sun Xin and Zhu Gao: "It's called Wang Xin!" That Tong Guan really joined forces with the prince, but after I dispersed the prescription, Gao Taiwei was also bold, and now he sent a lot of soldiers and horses to support me, and he also knew that his uncle was ordered to transfer grain and grass. Therefore, Liu Yu asked me what I meant, whether I wanted to send someone to follow me to be brave. ”

Sun Xin and Zhu Gao were both Mu Ran when they heard it, but Zhu Gao thought about it and said: "This is going to Anqing, there is chaos along the way." It should also be a good thing to have hundreds of forbidden troops accompanying them. ”

Huang Jie couldn't find a reason to oppose after thinking about it, so he said, "It's okay, I'll ask him to transfer 200 people." How is it? ”

Zhu Gao said: "But it's not much, so it's just two hundred!" ”

After a night of silence, he got up early the next morning and headed east. Along the official road through Guangji to Huangmei, three transfer stations were set up.

Speaking of which. Huang Jie is naturally very fast on horseback like this, and he is not tired of walking hundreds of miles at the end of the day. Therefore, the speed of setting up a transfer station is extremely fast, and when the grain and grass transfer really begins, the vehicle is heavily loaded, and the livestock and people also have to rest along the way, plus the wind and rain or in case of encountering those who dare to rob the road without opening their eyes, so this speed is not fast at all, and the two are not the same.

On the fourth day, two transfer stations were set up on the road from Huangmei to Susong County, but they were blocked in Susong County, and the Xiang army of Susong County did not want to open the city gate, nor did they believe that Huang Jie and others were the people of the Huangzhou Transfer Yamen.

Later, I asked the villagers who did not run away nearby, and I learned that Taihu County was won by the Stone Breaking Army at the beginning, so the county magistrate of Susong County simply played with a shrunken turtle.

Huang Jie and others are also bold, so they leaned against the city wall and gave up a transfer station under Susong City, and even released spies to reconnoitre around, but they found that the road from Susong to Taihu County was not quiet, and there were thieves from time to time, and it was also said that the stone-breaking army of Anqing Mansion sometimes sent thieves to patrol, and the road was open and broken.

Huang Jie was not reckless, so he waited for three days under Susong City, and then waited for the two hundred Japanese soldiers brought by Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Qi himself, and after another day of repair, he sent them to Taihu County.

Susong is also far away from Taihu Lake, so there are three transfer stations on the way, and there are 200 Japanese soldiers to help, simply build a transfer station in accordance with the regulations of the military village, the periphery is all made of thick wooden stakes to build a wooden wall, set up antlers to reject horses, and also build a watchtower, not to mention that it is a thief to disturb, it is not easy for the broken stone army to break the village.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first month of August, Huang Jie led 200 Japanese troops to Taihu County, only to see the city gate open, the traces of smoke and fire on the wall are still clearly visible, although there is cooking smoke in the city, but it is also very rare, a few old pawns and cats wearing tattered uniforms in the city gate hole, seeing Huang Jie's gang are wearing the military uniforms of the Great Song Dynasty, under the banner of writing the word Huangzhou, they can't help but be very excited to welcome out, and someone from afar is shouting: "But the army of the imperial court is coming?" But the army of the imperial court is coming! ”

Huang Jie stepped forward with a banner with the words "Huangzhou Water and Land Transfer Yao" in his hand and said: "I am the official messenger of the Huangzhou Water and Land Transfer Envoy Yamen, and I was ordered to transfer grain and grass for the army of Tong Guan Tong Taiwei for the imperial court, who is the person in charge of the city now?" Hurry up and talk! ”

When an old soldier in a tattered uniform heard this, he also pulled Huang Jie's horse reins on it, and said while crying: "It's really the army of the imperial court that is coming!" Taihu Lake is miserable! The county lord was killed on the day the city was broken, and the county Bo and the county sentenced two thieves called the Broken Stone Army to abandon the city, and the county lieutenant Lord Luo led the arrest of the fast government in the county government for two days, and later called the Broken Stone Army to arrest him, and made him the punishment of five oxen divided into corpses, miserable! Miserable! ”

Several other old soldiers also stepped forward to cry, and all kinds of statements came one after another, making Huang Jie unbelievable, and after they stopped for a while, they asked: "A few old men, isn't it a matter of May for this stone-breaking army to break Taihu County?" ”

When the old soldiers heard this, they wept again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! After the Broken Stone Army broke Taihu Lake, they emptied the county treasury and took away the people in the city, leaving only me and other old soldiers to guard the ruined city. We once went to Susong and Wangjiang counties for help, but we didn't even eat a bowl of closed-door porridge, so we could only come back and wait for death! ”

Huang Jie couldn't think that Taihu County was so miserable, but he saw that Susong County didn't open the door, and saw that the old soldiers were all yellow and thin, and they were busy asking people to make a fire on the spot to boil porridge, and opened a can of meat to satisfy their hunger, and after they had eaten a thousand thanks, Huang Jie proposed to go into the county seat to take a look, but some old soldiers said: "I can't go!" Can't go! Two hundred people died in the city, although we were all buried in the mass grave in the north of the city, but there was a plague in the city, and the petty officials were delicate, so they must not break into this place of death! ”

Huang Jie didn't argue when he heard it, but he looked at the east, frowned and fell into deep thought! (To be continued.) )
