At dawn, the sergeant who had eaten breakfast left the ship, and the fleet slowly set off to Xiuzhou, which was a hundred miles away.

In ancient times, a few people came back to fight, and at this moment the faces of the Song army were all deep and solemn, and they could go to Xiuzhou this evening, and they would fight with the bandits on the battlefield tomorrow, and they didn't know how many people could return to Biandu after a battle.

All the officers and soldiers were solemn, but no one noticed that the 3,000 men and horses in the Liangshanluo Songjiang military camp were 2,000 less.

For the Lotte standing on the bow of the boat, Tu Si said in a low voice: "That Zhu Mian and Hou Ye have no grudges and no hatred, and now they have been dismissed again, and the two Zhejiang are very far away from Biandu, Hou Ye is doing this...... Is this necessary? ”

Lotte shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The officials of this dynasty are like children playing at home, Ben Hou asserted that after the general spilled blood to quell the chaos, this Zhu Mian will immediately reinstate the official, and Hua Shigang will be able to afford it, and what is the difference between the life of the people in the southeast and before?" ”

Tu Si was silent.

Along the canal, Lotte overlooked the misty Jiangnan, Lotte said slowly word by word: "The Great Song Dynasty is a good tree, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Wang Huang, Zhu Mian are moths, these moths are crawling everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, the tree is full of scars, as long as the wind and rain are stronger, this tree is not broken or uprooted, then we are powerless to return to the sky!" ”

has been by Lotte's side for a long time, and under the influence of Lotte, Tu Si also has some understanding of Da Song's real situation, and he is also sad after hearing the words.

With Lotte's allocation to Xiuzhou, there are also 2,000 Xiang troops and 1,000 forbidden troops in Suzhou City. These box troops and forbidden troops are to prevent the Fang La Rebellion Army from a possible detour to attack Suzhou, so they are assembled in Suzhou, and now Lotte leads the army south to quell the chaos, and Suzhou City does not need so many soldiers to garrison, and it is reasonable to go south with Lotte and his party to quell the chaos.

It can be said that the current defense of Suzhou City is empty, and there are only more than 100 soldiers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and some errands in the government office, and there are no more than 300 people in the full battle.

……

The DPRK sent the army of the Ten Armies to conquer and suppress the Fangla bandits, the news spread, the original tense atmosphere in Suzhou was relaxed, the city gate was originally strict to the people in and out of the scene, the scene of the strict inspection of the people in and out of the city gate has disappeared, outside the south gate a few Xiang sergeants and errands lazily basking in the sun, with meat and yellow in their mouths, and from time to time there are dissolute laughter, causing pedestrians to look sideways.

The accident happened very suddenly, when a group of errands and Xiang Jun were talking, they saw the figures of the people who had entered the city in front of them for a moment, and then the cold light flashed, and they involuntarily covered their throats with their hands, and they couldn't speak, only to see blood spraying along the fingers covering their throats, and they fell to the ground and convulsed weakly.

The Taiping soldiers have been in office for a long time, so they naturally have no sense of prevention, and the errand and soldiers who were guarding the city gate died in an instant.

When the people who entered and exited the city gate saw the strange situation, they ran away like bees, and their mouths shouted and screamed......

Hearing that there was a change in the city, the sergeant guarding the city immediately poked his head out to watch, and immediately shouted: "There is chaos......

Sou! Sou! Sou......

Before the voice could be cried out, an arrow was shot, and immediately the arrow fell from the top of the city.

"Kill ......"

Hearing a loud shout, a man with a knife and a gun in his hand and dressed in ordinary people's clothes rushed into Suzhou City along the city gate.

"Only punish Zhu Mian, don't hurt the lives of the people!"

As this group of men and horses rushed in, a neat voice immediately sounded in Suzhou City, apparently shouted by this team that rushed into the city.

There were less than 300 people in Suzhou to defend the city, and there were many people and horses in Jincheng, so that these soldiers and soldiers thought that the Fang La army was attacking, and immediately scattered and fled for their lives.

Some people in the city heard that it was the righteous army that entered the city, and they had a bold heart and hatred for Zhu Mian, so they directly led the way for this group of people and horses, and led this group of people and horses straight to Zhu Mian's house.

Hearing the shouts of killing in the city, and hearing the messenger coming to report that there were bandits entering the city, Li Zhifu was paralyzed in fright, and under the support and pull of the domestic servants, he changed into a people's attire, and opened the back door with his family members to hide in the houses as ordinary people.

……

Zhu Mian's house occupies a very large area, Zhu Mian's family has thousands of thugs, I heard that there are bandits outside into the city, these thugs do not know the truth, and they are scared and immediately jump with their heads in their hands, but the housekeeper still has the backbone, and immediately organized the rest of the thugs together to resist through the house.

The southeast has not been at war for a long time, and the officers and soldiers have no combat power, and these thugs are at most just scaring and scaring the people.

I saw that when these Zhufu thugs with knives and sticks pounced, a swishing sound came from breaking the air, and immediately these Zhufu thugs fell half to the ground, and before the Zhufu thugs behind them woke up, the Liang Luoshan soldiers on horseback charged forward, and the blades in their hands were another burst of charge and killing.

……

Blood flowed all over the ground, and even Chi Yong in Zhu Mian's house was dyed red by blood.

Zhu Mian's housekeeper Zhu Cheng was brought to Song Jiang, his face pale and trembling.

The knife stand was in front of Zhu Cheng, and a soldier asked, "Say, where is Zhu Mian?" ”

"My lord is afraid that the officials and the army will not be able to defeat the bandits...... only to hear that Zhu Cheng replied, and when he said this, he slapped himself hard, and changed his words: "I am afraid that the officials and the army will not be able to beat you, not only Xiuzhou City is not guaranteed, but this Suzhou City will also be your lord's bag sooner or later, so I took my family out of the city early this morning to avoid ......"

"Ran away?" Song Jiang narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing Zhu Cheng's words.

Zhu Cheng kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Uncle spare his life, what the little one said is true, if there is half a lie, the sky will hit five thunders and split ......"

"Brother Gongming, I waited for a few people, and after interrogation, they were Zhu Mian's nephew!" At this time, a few young men were escorted by soldiers and saluted Song Jiang, and then more than 100 soldiers came over carrying large boxes.

When the box was opened, the man said again: "Brother Gongming, please see, this Zhu Mian is really not a good place, and hundreds of boxes were found in the warehouse, full of gold and silver treasures. In addition to the introduction, there are all kinds of things that we don't know, and they are all valuable and tight. ”

Hearing someone call his name, Song Jiang glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and the person who spoke in fright shrank his head. Before coming, Lotte had explained to a group of people that they could not call each other's names for the sake of secrecy.

"Money and possessions aside!" Song Jiang nodded, then set his eyes on Yan Qing's body, and ordered: "Look at what kind of objects are in those warehouses, if there are elegant good things, you might as well keep them and serve them to the owner of the nunnery!" ”

It was inconvenient to mention Lotte's name, so Song Jiang had to replace it with Lotte's nickname.

After finishing the order, Song Jiang looked at the few young people who were escorted in, and asked Zhu Fang, "How many people do you know?" ”

In order to save his life, Zhu Cheng hurriedly replied: "Little acquaintance, these three are the nephews of my master, the nephew and young master!" ”

Song Jiang nodded and asked the three young men, "Let me ask you, where did Zhu Mian go?" ”

Usually only the fish and meat of the common people, how could these rich gentlemen have suffered such a crime, and replied tremblingly: "My uncle left the city this morning!" ”

"Raided Zhu Mian's house, distributed half of Zhu Mian's family's money and treasures to the people, appeased him, and kept the other half in the army as military salary!" Ignoring these gentlemen, Song Jiang instructed his subordinates, and then his eyes swept over Zhu Cheng and Zhu Mian's sons and nephews, and after a little thought, he said: "Hang a group of slaves and nephews who are worried about Zhu Mian at the city gate to light the sky lanterns." ”

Hearing Song Jiang's treatment of himself and the others, Zhu Cheng and several people cried loudly: "Uncle spare your life......"

But no matter how he shouted, it was useless, the sound spread farther and farther, and the subsequent screams were hung on the head of Suzhou City by iron chains, and the city wall had fire oil, which was splashed by the soldiers on the bodies of these Zhu lackeys, and then it was set on fire.

Seeing Song Jiangjun enter Suzhou, the people of Suzhou, who were oppressed by Zhu Mian and the government, became angry, and found out the errand who had squeezed him and Zhu Mian's accomplices in the past.

Song Jiangjun only had more than 2,000 people, while the people of Suzhou who had rioted more than 10,000 people were very strong for a while.

The screams resounded in the sky of Suzhou, and several gates in Suzhou City were full of bullies and slaves who were hanging and burning with flames, and had been accomplices in the past to oppress the people.

Looking at these humanoid flames that were constantly writhing and struggling and howling miserably because of the pain, no one in Suzhou City felt a trace of horror, but they all clapped their hands and applauded, and their faces were full of joy of happiness and revenge.

Since he pretended to be Fang Lajun to enter the city, he had to imitate it vividly, and besides, these people and accomplices of the Zhu family were also innocent, and Song Jiang naturally had no mercy.

……

Soon, news came that the official army was coming, and I heard that some bandits had entered Suzhou City, and Le Dashuai ordered people to come to support Suzhou City.

Hearing that the official army was coming, a group of "bandits" disguised by the officials and soldiers of Liangshanluo immediately abandoned Suzhou City and fled out.

Knowing that the bandits were driven away by the army sent by Lord Le, Li Zhifu, who was hiding in a private house, hurriedly returned to the Suzhou Mansion.

Suzhou Mansion is a big victory!

Soon, good news spread from Suzhou City to Biandu.

Well, Governor Li, who thinks that he has escaped the catastrophe, naturally wants to ask for credit for Lord Lehou.

……

"Zhu Mian ran away!" Lotte's eyes narrowed.

At night, the ship was stationed twenty miles north of Xiuzhou City, until midnight, Song Jiang, who had withdrawn from Suzhou City, chased the army with 2,000 men and horses, and returned to the military camp silently at night under the prior arrangement of Lotte.

Seeing Lotte, Song Jiang hurriedly asked for guilt: "It's the last general who is ineffective in handling things, and he is willing to accept the guilt!" ”

"It's that Zhu Mian's life, how can I blame you!" Lotte sighed, "I have calculated everything, but I can get rid of this thief once and for all, and I am peaceful in the Song Dynasty, but I didn't think about it but I missed it, I didn't expect this Zhu Mian to be so cunning." ”

Seeing that Lotte did not blame himself, Song Jiang was delighted: "The last general will burn Zhu Mian's house, distribute most of the money copied out by his house to the people of Suzhou, leave some funds for military service, and copy out a lot of calligraphy and painting books, Song Jiang is a humble person, he doesn't understand calligraphy and painting, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to Hou Ye, and Wang Ye wants to laugh!" ”

nodded, Lotte said: "Calligraphy and painting books are for elegant things, Le Mou smiled, as for the money, you will share it with your brothers!" ”

Song Jiangxin understands that it doesn't matter whether today's events are successful or not, and from now on he is Lotte's true confidant.

After Song Jiang left, Lotte couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it is the will of heaven, and it seems that no matter how Le wants to avoid this catastrophe, it is inevitable." ”

This night, there are not many people sleeping in the camp tent, the Xiuzhou garrison twenty miles away is fighting against the Fangla rebel army, tomorrow these people will be on the battlefield, and a few people can sleep.
