It turned out that Lu Yuansheng's family was a prominent family in Huangliang Dream Town, and it could also be said to be a scholarly family. Don't look at him this year, he is only eleven years old this year, but he has been studying in a private school since he was four years old, and he passed the county and government examinations at the age of nine and became a child. Only by becoming a child can you be eligible to participate in the college examination, and after passing the college examination, you will become a student, which is commonly known as Xiucai. Many people have read books all their lives, but they can't even be children. From this point of view, Lu Yuansheng can be regarded as a prodigy.
But Lu Yuansheng is different from those nerds who "don't listen to things outside the window and only read sage books", don't look at his young age, but he is quite concerned about current affairs, and he is very worried about the internal and external troubles of the Ming Empire. Others read from morning to night, but he took an hour out of the morning and evening to punch and kick, and even swim and climb trees.
His father thought he was young and playful, and he also scolded him, but Lu Yuansheng said: "The ancient country scholar Wen can be safe, Wu can set the country, Fang Jin is restless in the sea, and scholars should also defend the country with swords." When a child could say this, the father was amazed and no longer restrained.
Originally, such a day was peaceful, but three days ago, suddenly a large number of bandits came to the town, more than 300 people.
Guangping Mansion is adjacent to the Taihang Mountains in the west, and the bandits in the mountains have not been interrupted for more than 100 years. If you talk about it in detail, there are still many locals, so it is inevitable that they will be related to each other. Huangliang Mengzhen has also been bandits in the past, but they never kill people, they just ask for money and food, and leave when they are finished. The Lu family is a big family in Huangliangmeng Town, and the bandits who came to him several times were sent by his family, so he didn't take it too seriously this time, and felt that dozens of stones of grain and dozens of taels of silver were about the same.
Unexpectedly, the bandits who came this time were completely different, many of them had very raw faces, and they were not locals at first glance. They did not bother to ask for it, but directly occupied the town, after the occupation they went door to door to grab food and silver, and even humiliated some women who met some beautiful women, and whoever dared to resist was immediately beheaded, and killed dozens of people in half a day, and the arrogance was simply arrogant to the extreme.
And the most strange thing is that these bandits actually said that they were official soldiers and were ordered by King Fu Chitose to take over Quang Binh Mansion. Moreover, it is necessary to force all men over the age of fifteen in the town to join the White Lotus Sect, saying that it is a "state religion", and whoever dares to disobey will be killed. Intimidated by the silver power of this group of strongmen, the villagers had no choice but to join the religion one after another.
Lu Yuansheng doesn't look at people as small, but he is very bold. Taking advantage of his young age and the fact that the bandits didn't pay much attention to him, he sneaked out of Huangliang Dream Town and walked forty miles to Dongping Mansion to deliver a letter. originally expected the prefect Liu Yangcui to immediately send troops to suppress the bandits, but when Liu Yangcui saw that he was a child, he didn't believe it at all, and drove him out of the yamen directly, so anxious that Lu Yuansheng cried.
As a result, the next day, this group of bold and reckless bandits actually sent dozens of people to the city of Dongping Mansion to attack the city. Liu Yangcui doesn't look at the official frame is very big, but he is an out-and-out coward, the guards and soldiers of Guangping Mansion have never fought, and when he saw the people below twisting his eyebrows and glaring at them, he was already scared to the point of numbness, how dare he go out of the city to meet the enemy?
Liu Yangcui had no choice but to close the four doors, and ordered someone to take out five hundred taels of silver from the silver treasury and tie it down from the city. The gang of bandits retreated only after getting the money, and threatened to come back another day, and if they dared not open the city gates, they would definitely break through the city and kill a chicken and dog.
Cao Bianjiao's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, and he couldn't hold back for a while and scolded in Liaodong dialect: "Mom, what kind of bird official is this?" If you still want to join me, I will go back and report to the Governor, I have to knock this deflated calf down!" By the way, little brother, how many bandits are there in Huangliang Dream Town, how many war horses, and how do they live in the town? Are there any firearms? ā
Lu Yuansheng hurriedly said: "There are about three hundred and fifty people in total, there are not many war horses, only more than twenty, and I haven't seen any firearms such as birds." There was a Lu Xian Temple in the town, and the bandits drove out all the Taoist priests inside, and they were stationed there. In addition, the four major intersections leading from the town to the outer villages are also guarded by bandits, and three days ago I climbed out of the ground while it was dark. ā
As he spoke, the forty-mile journey had passed in the blink of an eye, and the night was getting thicker and thicker. Suddenly, Lu Yuansheng pointed to a town under the night in front of him and said, "That's Huangliang Dream Town." ā
Cao Bianjiao immediately ordered the two hundred iron cavalry to stop advancing, observed the terrain, and called four hundred households and said: "The governor and uncle entrusted the general with a heavy responsibility, this is also the first time that the general independently commands the operation, you have to fight beautifully, not only to annihilate all the bandits, but also to try to achieve zero casualties, so as to show the skills of our Guanning iron cavalry!" I see that Huangliang Dream Town is not big, and the bandits don't know anything about us coming, so it is better to divide a hundred horsemen to surround it on all sides, and Ben will personally lead a hundred horsemen to rush in, shouting back and forth to kill. The bandits will surely panic and abandon the town and flee, and then you will keep an eye on the general, and none of them will be allowed to escape! ā
"Obey!" The four hundred households received the order with a bang, and immediately led twenty-five cavalry each to scatter. Cao Bianjiao smiled at Lu Yuansheng again: "Little brother, thanks to you, this general can find this bandit so easily." Wait here for a while, and I'll send someone to take you home when the battle is over. ā
When Lu Yuansheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "General, let the students kill the thieves with you!" I'm so nimble that you see me climbing down the walls, and not one out of a hundred people can do it..."
"Little brother, this is not a comparison of martial arts, this is a war!" Cao Bianjiao immediately sank his face, "You are too young, you can't go into battle anyway." Come, leave someone here to accompany him, don't let him run around! ā
After saying that, Cao Bianjiao no longer paid attention to Lu Yuansheng, and led a hundred iron horsemen to quietly approach the town, and sure enough, he saw that there were lights flickering at the mouth of Dongzhen, and it seemed that the bandits were on duty here at night.
"Mom, you still know how to sentry!" Cao Bianjiao scolded contemptuously, "Are you all ready?" For a while, I will be killed for a while, and the people will definitely not dare to go out when they hear it, and anyone who comes out is a bandit, and they will be killed! ā
At this time, one hundred Guanning iron horsemen each held their heavy weapons high, signaling that they were ready to charge. Cao Bianjiao nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly raised the iron spear in his hand into the sky, and roared like thunder: "Rush!" ā
In an instant, a hundred heavily armored cavalry shouted at the same time, and in the silent winter night, it was tantamount to a huge thunderclap. With this earth-shattering shout, Guan Ning Iron Cavalry urged the war horse and began to charge towards Dongzhenkou!
