Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Yellow Turban Defeats the Thief

In the first year of Zhongping (184), the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army was pacified by Zhu Jun.

In August, the Han court thought that the Yellow Turban Army of Jizhou could not be pacified for a long time, and ordered Huangfu Song to lead troops to suppress it. At this time, Zhang Jiao had died of illness, and the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army was led by his brother Zhang Liang in Guangzong (now east of Weixian County, Hebei). Zhang Liang was killed in battle, 30,000 soldiers were killed, and more than 50,000 people jumped into the river. In November, Huangfu Song took advantage of the victory to attack, and the giant deer Taishou Guo Dian broke Zhang Jiao's brother Zhang Baojun in Xiaquyang (now Quyangxi, Hebei), beheaded more than 100,000 people, and Zhang Bao died in battle. At this point, Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban Army of Jizhou, worshiped the general of the left chariot cavalry, led the Jizhou pastor, and sealed the Marquis of Huaili. At this point, the main force of the Yellow Turbans was all wiped out by the Han Qian army, and the Yellow Turban Army finally failed after holding out the struggle for nine months.

In June, the people of Jiaozhi (now Guangdong, most of Guangxi and northern and central Vietnam) rebelled against the Han because of the assassination of Shi Taipu Taishou Laida, claiming to be "General Zhutian". The Han court changed to Jia Cong as the history of cross-toe stabbing. Jia Cong instructed the people to make their own jobs safe, exempt them from forced labor, and selected honest officials to serve as county commanders. Within a year, Cochin was calm.

On the surface, the Yellow Turbans and rebellious people in various places were assessed, but in fact, there were millions of people scattered to various places, some of them occupied the mountains as kings, and some fled to various places.

Unfortunately, there was a group that happened to be met by Yang Xi's caravan.

Dong Caiji, the business manager, had 15 people in his entourage, and Ergou, the leader of the third squad of the guard battalion, and four of his subordinates were all arrested.

Yang Xi went berserk.

There are not many goods in the five ships, and Dong Cai has traded on him, and it is estimated that he will pay a few hundred taels of silver.

But after more than a year of development, Yang Xi's strength is now strong in Exian, and the Chenhe factory is now famous.

Several cities along the Yangtze River have merchants and scholars, and there is stable cooperation with Chenhe factories.

The one who brought the letter back was Dong Cai's cousin Dong Maru.

"Childe! You have to redeem your cousin quickly, my cousin has been arrested by them for a long time, and now his life and death are unpredictable, it is said that they are all the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and they kill people without blinking. Dong Maru looked anxious.

Although Yang Xi was angry, he also needed to ask about the situation.

"Childe! The location of the accident is on the riverside to the east within the scope of Exian County. This morning, my cousin and I completed the transaction from Qichun City on the other side of the river, went down the river, entered the river, and just crossed the river and went ashore, a group of about 1,200 people surrounded us, arrested my cousin and others, and let me come back to report that they wanted 1,000 taels of silver. ”

"Directly extorting silver, that is, knowing that it is our Chenhe factory. Knowing that it is our Chenhe factory, and still dare to blackmail, that is, it is not afraid of us, at least in terms of force, not afraid of us. Yang Xi analyzed.

"Humph! Force! I now have a physical function of 70, and my combat skills are unmatched, and ordinary people with 80 physical abilities are scum in front of me. The jade-faced killing god has not been stabbed for a long time, do you think I'm sick? ”

"Where is the ransom site?"

"They said they told us to go sixty miles to the south, Huangbaoshan Pass."

"Good! Lead me to the horse, I'll go to see the county lord, and report to the official first! This year, Yang Xi also learned to ride a horse.

"Reporter? Childe, this Exian government must not care, there are hundreds of people, and there are only 200 soldiers in the official government. Dong Maru was in a hurry.

"I don't need them to take care of it, but it's necessary to report to the police. They don't send troops, we go out ourselves. However, we can't expose our strength, and we can't let the court have the handle of our troops, otherwise, we will be the same nature as the grass cowards. ”

Yang Xi hurricane all the way and thought all the way, after a year of development, there are more than 600 people in the factory, 100 people in the guard battalion, Cai Kao and others who joined in the early stage, and their physical functions have reached more than 80, and the key is to learn combat skills for a year, according to their own algorithms, they should all be armed police-level forces.

In this way, a hundred people, dealing with the grass cowards, dispatched half of them, can completely defeat three hundred of them. Now is the era of cold weapons, there are no accidents, small injuries and small bumps, I have alcohol disinfection, and I am not afraid of infection, which can minimize casualties. This batch of grass cowards, I don't know where they came from, they actually found their own heads, thinking that the Chenhe factory is mainly to make money, that is, fat pigs?

In the past year, Yang Xi has risen, and the family in the county is also obvious to all, during which he has met the county several times, and even the county magistrate Li Qi has had two banquets and has had a one-sided relationship, and now he seems to be a squire.

There is no way, Yang Xi has a reputation, the underworld calls the jade face to kill the god, and the family says that he "has a strange idea!" Good management! ”。 Of course, it is just a rumor of a few local big families in Exian County.

The county Cheng Hu Kan really did not meet Yang Xi's expectations, and played ball with Yang Xi on the grounds that he didn't care about the sword soldiers. County Lieutenant Huang Can, the Huang family, thought that the county was outnumbered, inferior to thieves, and the county magistrate ignored it without an order. Yang Xi had no choice but to go directly to see Li Qi.

In fact, Li Qi was born in a poor family, although he was not as poor as Yang Xi's family, but he was only a small landlord's family, and he could understand Yang Xi's difficulties, but first, he was already in the air, and secondly, the county soldiers were really poor, where did he dare to send troops to exterminate hundreds of thieves.

Yang Xi pretended that he had no choice, saying that he was going to redeem the hostages with a thousand taels of silver.

In fact, where does he have a thousand taels of silver now, and even if he does, he will not be stupid enough to use the silver to redeem people.

He had already sent the special battalion of the three dogs to inspect the terrain.

Back at the Chenhe factory, it was already dark, and I had already received the carrier pigeon put back by Sangou.

Seeing the symbols on the paper, Yang Xi knew the meaning.

"Cai Kao! You lead the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth classes with me, and the other departments strictly guard the factory and beware of transferring tigers from the mountain! ”

These five squads are veterans of more than a year, and they have been training for a long time and have not seen too much blood, so Yang Xi decided to let them fight first.

That night, Yang Xi and his entourage of 51 people, under the leadership of the three dogs of the special agent battalion, traveled all the way at night.

"Childe, we are so fast, sixty miles, it won't take six hours." Sixty miles is more than 20 kilometers, not far.

"Six hours, it's only two o'clock in the morning, we repair for two hours, wait for them to enter the most difficult time, before touching the mountain, first save people, and then kill people." Yang Xi said. Due to Yang Xi's regulations, the current Chenhe factory is full of time and calculation methods in the Heavenly Book.

When Yang Xi arrived, three other people from the special service battalion had already come to pick him up. Today's spy battalion has no longer the same number of people as it used to be, and in one year, it has grown to about forty people by Yang Xi. The distribution of personnel has also been extended to the entire territory of Exian County and the territory of Qichun, Jiangbei.

The three of them took Yang Xi and his party to wait, and touched a mountain pass in the middle of the night. Looking from afar, there is a walled gate in the mountain pass.

"It seems that this group of people is going to occupy the mountain here." Yang Xi muttered to himself. Next to his own home, how could such a force be allowed, Yang Xi decided that if he didn't kill them today, he would take them in.

"Tell Childe! The bandits here are the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Jiangbei, one of the remnants of Zhao Hong under the Yellow Turban Zhang Mancheng, after Zhao Hong was killed, the remnants were scattered, and some of them fled thousands of miles, crossed the river and came here, led by just a small leader, Qin Rong, so that the double halberd, the force is not bad. "The spies report.

"Halberds? Isn't this Dian Wei's famous weapon, no matter what weapon he has, he can't keep it. Passed on our military order, the whole army rested, and after two hours, began to clean up the guards, touched into the mountains, tried not to make a sound, and rescued Dong Cai and them first. ”

Two hours later, the guards at the gate of the cottage were already sleeping and snoring, and Yang Xicai Kao and Mao Luan first touched it, slashed the two guards one by one, and wiped the necks of the two guards.

The rest of the people followed, quietly opened the gate of the wall, and wiped out the four guards in the wall. The group walked into the mountain, followed the mountain road, and walked for less than five minutes, and saw twenty or thirty thatched huts connected together on the hillside.

Yang Xi gestured, motioned for everyone to follow behind him, and groped up lightly.

It took a few minutes for everyone to find that they were less than forty meters away from the row of thatched huts. Yang Xi roughly counted the thirty-two gates, and only three of them were guarded.

There are guards, among them there must be Dong Cai and them, and there must be one of them, which is Qin Rong's camp.

Yang Xi gestured and ordered the rest of the people to divide into two teams, and he took Mao Luan and a group of five people to the guarded door in the middle.

The three teams shot at the same time, and the six guards were still in a dream, and they were solved in an instant.

By this point, no one had been alarmed, and the matter was halfway there.

Yang Xi pushed the door and entered, looked around, but saw a loud shout.

"Who is the thief, who dares to attack Qin's camp at night!" Although Qin Rong was attacked, his years of military career made him extremely vigilant, and he woke up with a little moonlight.

Yang Xi didn't have any hope of sneaking up on him, after all, if he was himself, he would have felt it when he got rid of the doorman.

When Qin Rong saw Yang Xi and his party of six, he had already burst out and rushed to the corner. This guy actually went straight to the double halberd.

Where can Yang Xi make his wish, but at this time, he needs to solve it quickly.

Qin Rong took two steps, the crossbow in Yang Xi's hand had already been launched, the distance between the two sides was less than five meters, and the speed of the crossbow was extremely fast, in this dark night, although the moonlight shone, as long as it shot at the shadow, it was accurate.

Sure enough, an angry roar came out, and the five people behind Mao Luan also raised their crossbows and shot indiscriminately.

"Puff puff! There were four sounds of flesh entering the flesh, followed by a terrible howl.

At this time, there was already a mess in the other huts, and loud cheers were heard from time to time.

Yang Xi took a few steps forward, looked at the position, and went down with a knife, and the next moment, he had already raised a good head in his hand.

The sound of wailing outside was endless, and Yang Xi felt that it was almost over, so he lifted Qin Rong's head and rushed out of the door, shouting.

"You will not die if you kneel and surrender, and those who resist will be killed!"

Someone turned around and saw Yang Xi holding his head in his hand, although he couldn't see it clearly, he could probably see that it was Qin Rong's appearance, and his legs trembled with fright, and in the middle of the night, he was even more ignorant, and the timid had already knelt down and begged.

Some people still wanted to run, but Cai Kao's two teams lifted the crossbow machine and shot it indiscriminately, and the middle one couldn't live if he didn't die on the spot.

A raid battle, back and forth, lasted less than half an hour, and it ended. At this time, before dawn, everyone lit torches, blocked the exit of the mountain, counted the number of people, rescued the lightly injured, and directly repaired the knife for the seriously injured, which frightened the yellow turban thieves.

"Newspaper boy! After the counting, the number of the other side was eighty-seven dead, one hundred and twenty-two were surrendered, three hundred and twenty-three weapons, and the money and goods were not counted, and they will be confiscated tomorrow according to the law. ”

Yang Xi nodded, he was satisfied, Dong Cai and a group of captives had already come over to report to Yang Xi that they were safe.
