Li Zhong, half a life of fighting horses, great achievements, but in the end only because of the suspicion of the main general and almost died in Huangquan, which made him hate Zhang Razi, Zhao Bantou did not waste much tongue He agreed, regardless of the scars on his body, to help Li Shun attack the battalion camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shunzheng was eager to throw away this hot potato, and after handing over the command of the righteous army to Li Zhong, he fled from this place like a plague.

Li Zhong knows the military camp well, he knows that with these three hundred rebels who have never experienced the fire of war want to break through the big camp of the deep ditch and high fence, it is undoubtedly to hit the stone with an egg, even if it is a feint, I am afraid that when the people in the camp react, come to a counteroffensive, the result of the righteous army will be a catastrophe, the new soldiers go to the battlefield, the most afraid is not death, but retreat, as long as one person escapes, then it can drive ten people and 100 people, and finally it will collapse the army, let the battalion army cover all the way.

Zhao Bantou did not pass through the army, and everything was subject to Li Zhong's arrangement, and Li Zhong made the following arrangements in light of the situation on the ground.

The barracks are built in the long gorge area that is about two miles long from east to west, one mile wide from north to south, the east and west sides are the undulating slopes, the hillside is overgrown with weeds, the south is the gate of the barracks, there is no shelter outside the camp gate, there is no unobstructed view, behind the camp is a dense pine forest, a small stream comes out of the forest, runs through the whole barracks, and is the place where the whole camp drinks.

Build a camp in this way, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and when the strong enemy cannot be repelled, you can also retreat into the pine forest to preserve your strength, which can also be seen that Zhang Razi's use of soldiers is by no means a useless mediocrity.

Li Zhong divided the rebel army into three teams, each team of 100 people, the leader of the rebel army and Zhao Bantou each led a team, he personally led a team, his team was all selected stout men, and they were also the main force of this attack.

It is said that there should be lurking posts outside the barracks to prevent someone from sneaking into the barracks, but because Zhang Rake never put the mountain bandits in his eyes, there is no need for such an arrangement, and more importantly, he never thought that anyone would dare to attack the idea of the barracks, which allowed this group of rebels who did not know what the battlefield was to touch the edge of the barracks unscrupulously.

Li Zhong asked Zhao Bantou and the leader of the rebel army to each lead a team to touch the front and tail of the camp respectively, just wave the flag and shout, not allowed to attack, and attract all the 100 battalion soldiers in the camp to both ends, while his team suddenly attacked the battalion from the side, taking the battalion army by surprise, in order to achieve a quick victory, although Lu Fei only asked the rebel army to feint, but Li Zhong is now venting all his anger on this battle, and will not give up until he takes the barracks.

The so-called generals will not grant the orders of the monarch outside, and any general who leads the army will only be responsible for the success or failure and purpose of the war, and the outcome of the matter will not change much if the big camp is captured or not, and the battle report will be sent to Zhang Rakezi, who is fighting abroad, so Li Zhong chose to take the big camp in one go.

All the rebels were dressed as ordinary people, and their faces were all covered with black scarves, and with a wave of Li Zhong's hand, everyone scattered according to the plan.

Lu Fei and the others also bypassed the mountain at this time, and a group of men and women walked quickly towards Zhaojun Mafu, when passing through Wuli Station, Lu Fei asked Ling Ning and a dozen women from the mountain to stay here temporarily, and then left the righteous army and the servants who brought them here to guard, and then came to pick them up after the situation calmed down.

There are a few fast horses in the post station all year round, and after Lu Fei arranged for Ling Ning and the others, he took Yun Niang and Big Eyes to ride fast horses and went straight to Zhaojun Horse Mansion.

The Zhao Mansion is ten miles away from the east of the county seat, Zhang Razi's camp is located thirty miles away from the county seat, and Ling Dan is more than twenty miles northwest of the city where he fought fiercely.

Wuli Station is located at the end of the eastern mountain range of Zaoshan, which is at least nearly thirty miles away from Zhao Mansion, fortunately, it is a fast horse in the post station, the situation is urgent, urging the horse to whip, when the line is not long, Lu Fei and the three have appeared outside the County Horse Mansion.

Before the door could go in to report, Lu Fei and the three of them had already rushed into the door in a hurry.

At the foot of the mountain where the calf collar was held, Ling Dan led the remnants and was still looking at the battalion army, under the scorching sun, the sleeves of both sides were soaked with sweat and wet on their bodies.

After Zhang Rake attacked several times, he realized that this group of people was not as vulnerable as he imagined, in order not to let his capital lose again, he thought about it for a while, and broke the silence.

Zhang Rake took two guards, urged the horse's belly, and slowly walked towards Ling Dan and the others.

Ling Dan waved his hand, so that everyone was ready to fight again, and for a while, all the bandits widened their eyes, clenched the guy in their hands, and looked at Zhang Rake, who had already reached the distance between the two armies.

Zhang Rake stopped at the place where the corpses were piled up between the two armies, raised his chin to the guards on the side, the guards understood, beat the horse and took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly to the bandits, "Which of you is the head, please come forward to answer" After speaking, he retreated behind Zhang Razi.

All the bandits looked at Ling Dan together, and someone reminded, "Don't go, be careful."

There are also humanitarians, "This is a delaying tactic, it is likely that he is preparing for the next attack, it is better to retreat to the mountain first, find a path to leave here, and enter the mountain without fear of them"

Ling Dan smiled and glanced at these scarred brothers, "If you lose, you won't lose, I'll go over and listen to what he has to say, you look at my gestures, if the situation is not right, you run up the mountain, remember, don't go up to the calf collar, you can't come down if you go up, the grain on the mountain is now transported here, even if you don't get killed, you will starve to death,

I want to run to the other side of the mountain, and when I get out of the mountain, I will find another place to live."

The bandits asked with concern, "What about you?" ”

Ling Danqiang smiled to himself, "Leave me alone, with my skills, I am not afraid of these officers and soldiers alone, and they don't want to trap me, as long as you are safe, I have my own way to get out."

The bandits nodded, the big boss was a woman who had registered on the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for so many brothers dragging her down on the side, I was afraid that she would have left this place long ago.

Ling Dan tucked the spear under her armpit, her face covered with green veil, and she could only see from her eyes that she was not afraid of the slightest composure and terrifying murderous aura.

Ling Dan walked a few feet away from Zhang Rake and stopped, thrust his spear into the ground, and looked at Zhang Rake.

"Presumably you are the rumored bandit leader Greenshirt," Zhang Rake sat on the horse, tilting his head and saying disdainfully.

"If you know my name, why do you want to bring people to die, aren't you afraid of losing all your money?" Ling Danliu's eyebrows were tightened, and his tone was very threatening.

Zhang Rake laughed, "Insolence, look around, how many of your people are lying here, and then look behind you, there are still a few people who can fight, you are still talking wildly here, I don't know how thick the sky is"

Ling Dan smiled coldly, pointed the tip of the gun at Zhang Rake and said, "You don't take much advantage, we people, nameless people, have died for a hundred, and you should not be able to afford to die, even if we die today, we will make you lose your vitality and make you have no place in the court."

Ling Dan's words just poked at the sore spot of Zhang Rake, he didn't expect Ling Dan to have such insight, he was busy hiding his uneasiness, and laughed, "You don't have to worry about this, it's just that this general is pitiful and waits for his life, and he can't bear to kill more, so he will give you a way to live."

Ling Dan said, "What do you want?" ”

Zhang Rake pointed at the bandits behind Ling Dan and said, "Put down your arms, surrender, and General Ben will open the net."

Ling Dan also laughed when he heard this, "Do you think I will believe you?" ”

Ling Dan is not stupid, surrendering at this time is equivalent to killing the neck, even if you want to talk about it, you have to wait until the two sides are evenly matched, and now although the battalion offensive has not succeeded in a single blow, it still has the upper hand steadily.

Zhang Rake said, "You are already a trapped beast fight, as long as this general is launching an impact, none of your people will survive, why bother to make such senseless casualties"

Ling Dan sneered, "You can give it a try."

Zhang Razi's face sank, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the brothers behind you, they don't necessarily have to die."

Ling Dan didn't want to listen to his discordant words, and shouted, "Life and death are fate, they have chosen this path, they will not turn back, you die of this heart, you want us to surrender, dream, and see the truth under your hands."

As he spoke, Ling Dan swept his spear and retreated to the bandits.

Zhang Razi's face turned white with anger, this woman was so crazy that he wanted to break her body into pieces now, he shouted at Ling Dan's departing figure, "This is what you brought on yourself"

After that, he hit the horse's head and returned to the army.

Zhang Rake waved his hand, only to see the flag wavering, and suddenly the war drums rumbled, and five hundred cavalry were slowly coming out, which was Zhang Rake's last killer weapon.

Seeing this, Ling Dan also knew that it was not good, and turned his head to nod at everyone, and everyone immediately understood, and slowly moved their steps together.

Lu Fei ignored the obstruction of the subordinates of the Zhao Mansion, and the three of them came directly to the back hall where King Ning had bursts of laughter.

In the back hall, Zhao Junma and Yunxiao were chatting with King Ning, and Lu Fei's sudden appearance made King Ning's face change, this is the Junma Mansion that must not be invited, and King Ning is here, this sesame official is too presumptuous.

King Ning said, "The county master is also so ignorant of the rules? ”

Zhao Jun hurriedly stood up and pointed at the family who was following Lu Fei, "Why don't you report it?"

The family bent down and stammered, "This ...... This ......"

Lu Fei threw up his hand to the three people in the hall, "Don't blame him, it's because I have an urgent matter and can't wait for him to report, and if I make a mistake, please forgive King Ning and Jun Ma."

Yunxiao smiled at Lu Fei and said, "Lord Lu's sudden visit must be something important, why do you care about these false courtesies, father?"

Yun Niang on the side was thoughtful and observant, and from the casual smile of the Yunxiao County Lord to Lu Fei, there seemed to be a joy like seeing the sun after a rainy day, and untying the knot when she was depressed, Yun Niang was a little uneasy.

Zhao Junma waved his hand unhappily at Jiading.

King Ning pointed to the chair in the hall and said, "Since you're here, let's sit down, what's the urgency?" ”

"Tea," Yunxiao shouted.

Lu Fei didn't sit down, and arched his hand, "King Ning, you can avoid it, Zhao raked him, he rebelled"

"Plop, cough...... Ahem, who? Who rebelled? Zhao Junma was choked on a sip of tea and coughed repeatedly, wiping the tea spilled on his clothes and exclaimed.

After Zhao Junma finished speaking, he said to King Ning in a panic, "Does he know about our ......" He was in a hurry, and wanted to say whether Zhang Razi knew that Junma secretly conspired with the courtiers to impeach him and took risks, which was also reasonable.

King Ning coughed and interrupted Jun Ma's words, and said to Lu Fei, "Susong County, this kind of thing can't be said casually, how do you know that he has rebelled, as far as this king knows, General Zhang has just returned from the Jiujiang Mansion to quell the chaos, and the long-distance raid is sleepy and the horses are tired, so he should go back to the camp to rest."

Lu Fei didn't blame King Ning for failing to contain Zhang Razi's idea in person, and walked back and forth in the hall with an anxious face, "Where, if my county master hadn't run fast with his legs and feet, he would have become the ghost of Zhang Razi's rebels."

King Ning said in a deep voice, "Really? ”

Lu Fei said, "In front of King Ning, how dare I, a small magistrate, talk nonsense, now Zhang Rake will lead people to kill innocents under the mountain, and kill the people who have been busy with me these days, and kill them like a river of blood, I will reason with him a few words, he will even kill me, the court official, no, there is no place to escape, so I will take refuge in the Junma Mansion, King Ning, you have to say a fair word for me, get an idea"

Hearing this, King Ning snorted and laughed, others couldn't hear it, but he King Ning heard it, Lu Fei was blaming him for not doing things well, and the army surrounded and suppressed the mountain, so that Lu Fei's recruitment plan fell short, but Zhang Razi's doing this was definitely what King Ning didn't want to see, and it was something he didn't expect, and the two warriors sent to monitor Zhang Rake came back to say that after the army returned from Jiangjiazhuang, they went straight back to the barracks to rest.

King Ning said, "Oh, that's the case, so General Zhang is suppressing bandits, how can you say that it is a rebellion?"

Lu Fei waved his hand and said, "But these people have returned to the imperial court, and they are no longer bandits, so there is no talk of killing, he is killing the emperor's people."

King Ning stood up and said, "Well, although what you said is far-fetched, there is some truth, but why did he kill you?" This makes it difficult for the king to understand"

Lu Fei clapped his hands, "It's not, I didn't recruit him, but it means a different way to treat the mountain whether to recruit or exterminate it, but you don't need to kill it, you didn't look at that frame just now, ouch, I'm scared when I think about it."

Yunxiao asked with a concerned face, "You're not injured, are you?" The words blurted out, and when she said it suddenly, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she hurriedly added, "If there is really any mistake, it will be the biggest loss in Susong County."

Lu Fei saluted to the clouds, "King Toning's blessing, there is no danger, Lord Xie cares"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and everything was silent.

Yun Niang looked at it on the side, and sighed quietly in her heart.

At this time, Yunxiao also noticed Yun Niang behind Lu Fei, "This is Lord Song's daughter, Miss Yun Niang, right?" ”

Yun Niang was busy in the hall, and gave a generous salute to King Ning, the county lord and the county horse, "Yun Niang is polite"

Yunxiao couldn't help but look at her carefully, she really lived up to her reputation, in terms of appearance and aura, it was one in a million, no wonder Lu Fei would keep her by his side.

Yunxiao said, "I have long heard that there is a beautiful fairy around Lu Zhixian, I can't imagine that there is a beautiful woman like you in the world, Lord Lu, you are so blessed" Yunxiao's tone no longer had the previous concern, as if mixed with a trace of resentment.

Yun Niang said, "The county lord has won the award, compared with the county lord, Yun Niang is dwarfed, Lord Lu is kind-hearted, seeing that Yun Niang has no relatives, he temporarily lives in the county government and does some chores."

King Ning stood up at this time and said to Yunxiao, "Yan'er, it seems that you are very close to this Miss Song, why don't you take Miss Song to the garden for a walk."

Yunxiao understood his father's thoughts, and knew that he and Lu Fei had something to say in private, so he smiled at Yun Niang, "I heard that Miss Song is very good at qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I really want to see it, come here, move the Tang Dynasty guqin in the house to the garden, Miss Song, please"

Yun Niang saluted King Ning and Jun Ma again, and said to Yunxiao with a smile, "County Lord, please Yun Niang's carving insect skills, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Big Eyes also retreated in amusement, and King Ning waved his hand to Jun Ma and said, "You can go down too."

Zhao Junma was stunned, glanced at Lu Fei with displeasure in his eyes and left.

"Come, Susong County, please sit" King Ning pushed Lu Fei's tea Huai.

Lu Fei was worried about Ling Dan's safety, and he deliberately exaggerated his words just now just to let King Ning come forward quickly, but King Ning didn't seem to be moved and was not in a hurry at all.

Of course King Ning is not in a hurry, the reason why he only said before that he would help Lu Fei transfer Zhang Rake was because of his own considerations, the first was to get rid of Jiang Jiazhuang who did not put him in his eyes, and the second was to solve the mountain bandits as peacefully as possible, it was best not to fight, Su Song could not be chaotic, now it seems that these two aspects are developing towards King Ning's idea, Jiang Jiazhuang has disappeared overnight, whether it is Zhao'an or Raid, as long as it does not cause local riots, he doesn't care how many people die, it is best to be able to wipe out the bandits, It's better.

Lu Fei sat beside King Ning anxiously, and arched his hand, "What advice does King Ning have?" ”

King Ning smiled, "You tell this king honestly, is it just a disagreement between you and Zhang Razi?" ”

King Ning still has some understanding of this Zhang rake, Zhang rakezi previously secretly reported to Zhao Qingfeng that it was Lu Fei secretly investigating bribery, and this time Lu Fei said that Zhang Rake dared to kill him in the war, which shows that Zhang Rake intended to kill Lu Fei, although Zhang Rake is greedy by nature and ruthless, but he has a shortcoming, that is, he attaches great importance to the future, for so many years, he has almost never had a dispute with his colleagues, and he will go all out for the decree issued to him by the imperial court. How could he kill an incumbent county official for no reason, this is a one-time and losing everything, so King Ning is very suspicious that there is not only a disagreement between the two people, but also a personal enmity.

Lu Fei didn't know that King Ning was already working on the impeachment of Zhang Razi, he just wanted King Ning to personally go out to suppress Zhang Razi's arrogance and save Ling Dan.

Suddenly, he had an idea, and deliberately said, "This, this depends on how to say it."

Ning Wang said, "Of course it's telling the truth."

Lu Fei came to King Ning's side and said, "I didn't want to mention these things, they are related to Zhao Junma, and I don't know if Zhang Rake is killing me because of these things."

King Ning said, "Oh, I want to hear about this."

Lu Fei quickly typed the draft in his stomach, he had to think of a way to let King Ning kill Zhang Rake in the shortest possible time, he thought for a while and said, "That's the case, although the case of Steward Hu's murder has been closed a few days ago, I got a very surprising result after my secret investigation."

"What result?"

"The murderer of the chief steward of the county has been apprehended and confessed to being instigated"

"Who's doing it?"

"This ......" Lu Fei deliberately wanted to speak and stopped, so that King Ning could say it himself.

"You mean Zhang Rake?" King Ning rushed out, only then did he realize that he was in a hurry, and said, "Where is the murderer?" ”

Lu Fei smiled secretly and said, "His name is Li Zhong, he is Zhang Razi's subordinate, the people were dug out of the soil by the officials, there was only one breath left at that time, and now he is arranged to recuperate in a safe place, he is afraid that people will know that he is still alive and will be buried in the soil again."

King Ning was horrified in his heart, listening to this style of killing people and killing people, Zhang Rake could do it, but he had the courage to dare to kill the housekeeper of the Junma Mansion, why did he want to kill him?

King Ning said, "Then did he explain why Zhang Rake wanted to kill him and kill Steward Hu?"

Lu Fei shook his head, "I have interrogated this repeatedly, he doesn't know the inside story, and now that Steward Hu is dead, I am afraid that the only way to find out this matter is to ask Zhang Rake."

King Ning lowered his head and pondered for a while, "Do you mean to say that Zhang Rake learned that Li Zhong was in your hands and wanted to declare his personal vendetta and kill you?" ”

Lu Fei didn't expect this Lie King Ning to be round for him, he said, "Well, I'm not sure, but I can't rule out this possibility."

"Oh!" King Ning stood up, stroked his long beard and thought as he walked around the hall, then suddenly turned around and said, "Where is Zhang Rake now?" ”

"The main peak of the mountain, hold the calf and lead it"

"Okay, this king will send the Buddha to the west and help you clean up this mess"

"King Shainin, without further ado, please, the horse is tied outside the mansion"

……

In the afternoon heat is in full swing, even the air seems to be boiling, with a few activities is a body of sweat, stuffy and unbearable, in the camp camp thirty miles outside the city, quiet, almost no one is patrolling, that like a steamer in the tent no one wants to stay longer, the whole barracks, except for a few sentries in front of the camp gate, most of the sergeants are sitting in groups of three or five on the grass under the pine forest in the back camp to enjoy the cool nap, here the cool breeze is slow, the hundred or so battalion soldiers are drowsy, No one noticed that the rebels were quietly approaching.

The feint attack outside the main gate was the first to start, Zhao Bantou covered his face, stood in the waist-high weeds, waved his hand to everyone, and suddenly the horns and drums sounded, and the wild things hidden in the grass scattered and fled, everyone shouted and shouted, crowded into a pile and stormed the gate of the barracks, so shocked that the sentry at the gate of the camp was like earth, hurriedly closed the camp door, and shouted while running back, "Someone has robbed the camp, bandits have robbed the camp"

There are also newly trained stringers in the rebel army, and more than 20 archers followed closely behind to draw bows and arrows at the camp gate, but none of these batches of arrows can be nailed to each other, in this era want to teach a qualified archer, it is much more difficult than training a striker today, many people don't even have a full bow, and shoot the arrows out, if it weren't for Zhao Bantou to let everyone slow down, eighty percent of these archers can shoot arrows at their own people.
