Huang Qingqing, the commander of the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town, led those black-armored cavalry into the unloading stone shed, and the tigers had entered the flock, and the bandits from Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain were running around. The deputy commander made the thunderbolt fire Qin Gang and led more than 200 forbidden army infantry into the stone unloading shed, and those bandits were even more powerless in front of the forbidden army armed to the teeth.

Most of those bandits were either cut down or tied up, and some of those who ran out of the unloading stone shed were also taken by the forbidden army waiting outside the gate of the village, and only a few bandits ran into the dense forests of the mountains and mountains on the unloading stone ridge, and were able to escape temporarily. As for whether they will be able to get out of the mountains and dense forests, no one knows.

Although there was no suspense in the battle, by the time the battle was over, it was already dawning. A round of rising sun, slowly poking out from the top of the mountain on the east side, the red is very lovely.

Liu Xuli had a thrilling night, after several lives and deaths, and at this time, when he saw the rising sun again, he felt a little like he was reincarnated.

Liu Xu followed everyone into the stone unloading shed, and the stone unloading shed was messy, and there were many people lying on the ground. Thinking that because he hid in the stone unloading shack, there was this melee tonight, and many lives were lost, Liu Xu not only felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Liu Xu saw that the officers and soldiers were happily looking for the bandit who had fallen to the ground and cut off his head. And the group of black-armored cavalry who rushed into the stockade first, many of them had already hung a lot of heads on their horses, and they were still looking for bandits, and the scene was very bloody. Liu Xu couldn't help but be a little angry, this is too much, everyone is dead, and you still go to toss other people's corpses. In the past, Liu Xu would definitely pretend not to see anything, but today Liu Xu felt that these people died because of himself, and he couldn't help but want to step forward to stop it.

At this time, Cui Ye saw that Liu Xu was about to step forward, so he hurriedly grabbed Liu Xu and said in a low voice: "I'm a great Song martial artist, I don't have any way to make money, only that little money, they can only be rewarded by killing the enemy." These heads make them the capital to be promoted and rich, and you must cut off people's official and financial routes, and they will only make people disgusted, and you will not make trouble. ”

Liu Xu couldn't help but be silent, although he felt a little uncomfortable, but he was helpless.

The Great Song Dynasty was noble and light-armed, and military officers and soldiers could only be promoted by making meritorious contributions in war. The amount of this meritorious service can be seen as the number of beheadings of the enemy. Although this killing bandit is not as valuable as beheading the enemy on the battlefield, four or five heads are enough to make a turn, and there are five rewards for one head, even if Liu Xu steps forward to stop it, these big soldiers of the forbidden army will not listen to him. This time, these forbidden troops came in the middle of the night to help relieve the siege of the stone shed, and contributed a lot, and most of those bandits were killed by them, and it was natural for people to behead their heads to ask for merit.

Huang Qingqing, the commander of the forbidden army in Qingfeng Town, saw everyone coming in, laughed and greeted him, with blood all over his body, and said loudly to Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian: "Xia Guan is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has captured a total of more than 400 bandits, and captured the brown bear of the bandit leader of Erlong Mountain and the one-eyed dragon of the bandit leader of Peach Blossom Mountain. ”

Zhang Tongjuan and Liu Tuanlian were both literati, and they were not used to seeing this bloody scene, so Zhang Tongjuan waved his hand and said: "Commander Huang can complete the inspection and capture the bandits, and when we return to the city, you can send some soldiers and escort them into the state." Commander Huang made a great contribution to the suppression of bandits this time, and Liu Tuanlian and I must report to Kou Xianggong, and go to the court of Wenwen to ask for merit for Commander Huang. ”

Commander Huang said with a smile: "Where, it all depends on the master's skill and the regimental training to make the adult's plan, and the subordinate official just obeys the order, how dare he live alone." "Although Commander Huang fought bravely, he was not a rough man, otherwise the Cui family would not have chosen him and supported him to be the commander. He also understands that the so-called merits of a hundred battles in the Great Song Dynasty are not as good as a splendid article of the literati, and his own credit is all reported for himself by a pen of civil officials. Besides, since the general judge and the group training envoy followed them to the stone unloading shed overnight, they don't have to let this credit themselves, they also have their share, it is better to sell it as soon as possible.

Zhang Tongju and Commander Liu listened to Commander Huang's words, and although they were humble, they couldn't help but smile.

Commander Huang went to count the detailed results, and Cui Feng also sent Wang San to count the situation in the stockade.

Everyone followed Cui Feng to the reception hall of the stone unloading shed and sat down.

Cui Feng told Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian the details of last night's battle.

Liu Xu took the opportunity to ask Cui Ye how he would come with Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian.

It turned out that yesterday evening, Wang San's father received a message from the flying pigeon of the unloading shed, so he hurriedly told Cui Lao the news that the unloading shed was surrounded and Liu Xu was in the unloading shed. Cui Lao was busy meeting with the patriarchs of the four major families and went to visit Lord Zhizhou together. The Quarry is a major taxpayer in Qingzhou, and there are members of the government, so the government cannot sit idly by.

Zhizhou Kou Zhun had just arrived in Qingzhou, and he did not want to have a situation of bandits and chaos under his jurisdiction. When Kou Zhun was in the center, he was already a privy deputy envoy, in charge of military affairs, and belonged to the Shaozhuang faction, so he would not take gentle measures against bandits. Immediately, he wanted to order Qingfeng Town to ban the army and send troops to suppress the bandits. Although Kou Zhun is the governor of Jingdong Road and the marshal of Jingdong Road, he has the power to govern the military and political affairs of the seven prefectures of Jingdong East Road, but this power is greatly restricted, and the Great Song Dynasty has very strict jurisdiction over the army, and it takes a lot of procedures to transfer troops. Moreover, the military affairs in the military and political affairs under the jurisdiction of the marshals along the way do not include the forbidden army.

The military system of the Song Dynasty was divided into forbidden army, box army, and township army. The forbidden army is the central army, the most sophisticated army, and its task is to "defend the Beijing division and prepare for the conquest"; The Xiang army was a soldier at the state level, guarding the local town; Township soldiers are the most basic soldiers in the local area, and they are selected or recruited from among the people. Like Qin Ming in the Water Margin, he was the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Qingzhou Command Division, and Huang trusted the soldiers and horses as the supervisor, and the troops under their command were actually Xiang troops. However, although the forbidden army is the central army, it is impossible for all the forbidden troops to be stationed in the capital Kaifeng. Although the Kaifeng Prefecture has the largest number of forbidden troops stationed in the prefecture, there are many forbidden troops stationed in other important places around the capital, such as Jingdong, Hubei, Hebei and other places. However, these forbidden troops are uniformly mobilized by the central government, and the localities have no right to mobilize them. Even if Kou Zhun is the commander of Jingdong East Road, he only has jurisdiction over the Xiang army and the township soldiers under his jurisdiction, but he has no right to transfer the forbidden army.

Fortunately, Zhang Tongju proposed that in the Great Song Dynasty system, if the local government encounters banditry, the forbidden army has the duty to assist the local government in suppressing bandits and quelling the disorder, and if necessary, the governor has the right to mobilize a forbidden army below the command to assist in quelling the chaos, but the order needs to be countersigned by the general judgment, and then reported to the imperial court.

There are many workers in the Quarry of Shiling Dumping, and if something goes wrong, it is not a trivial matter, and everyone thinks that this matter is sooner rather than later. At the moment, Kou Zhun was ordered to wholesale, Zhang Tongju countersigned, and transferred the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town to assist Liu Tuanlian and the township soldiers brought by Zhang Tongju to assist in suppressing the bandits.

There are bandits in the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, as Qingzhou's general judgment and regimental training envoy is also duty-bound, at the moment Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian envoy overnight with the order to take the Liangdu township soldiers, came to Qingfeng Town. Cui Ye was also assigned by Cui Lao to follow the two adults to Qingfeng Town. Originally, they just wanted to come early and be prepared, but they didn't expect that the bandits in Sanshan would really dare to go crazy and attack the unloading stone shed. Of course, it is said that the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town assisted in suppressing the bandits, but it is impossible for the bandits to rely on those township soldiers who have little combat effectiveness, and they have to rely on those forbidden troops to suppress the bandits, and those township soldiers are only on guard on the periphery. Fortunately, Commander Huang of Qingfeng Town had close ties with the Cui family, although he was only nominally assisting in the suppression of bandits, and he was a little reluctant, but he still brought troops to suppress the bandits in time.

At this time, Wang San came in to report the loss of the village, and the regimental training of the stone shed village killed 24 people, seriously injured 7 people, and slightly injured more than 40 people, which can be described as heavy casualties. Fortunately, although the workers in the Shiling Quarry were caused by the fire set by Gu Laosi and them, few of them were cut down, but many of them crowded and trampled on each other, and many were slightly injured. Later, they were shouted by Liu Xu and ran to the unloading stone ridge mountain, and most of them ran to the quarry. When the bandits of Erlongshan and Taohuashan rushed into the village, they only cared about rummaging for goods and goods, but did not chase and kill them, so there were not many casualties among the workers, and there were a total of twelve who were cut down by Gu Laosi and those who were shot at the gate of the village. The thousands of workers in the quarry did not suffer major casualties, but it was a great blessing in misfortune.

Cui Feng remembered the workers who were ordered to be shot by himself, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty to Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian. Cui Feng is not a fool, if he doesn't make this matter clear today, I'm afraid he will be attacked in the future.

Liu Xu originally thought that Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian were literati, but he was afraid that they would have a lot of opinions about Cui Feng about this matter, but he didn't expect that neither of them cared much about it. Zhang Tongju stepped forward to help Cui Feng and said: "Hurry up, Cui Du's regimental training enables him to make a decision on the spot and cut off one of his arms, so as to protect the gate of the village, which is also understandable." At that time, I was afraid that if I had changed, I would have done the same, and the woman's kindness would have achieved something. It's just that those innocent workers need to be generously compensated. ”

Cui Feng hurriedly agreed. Cui Ye also promised that he would pay tribute to those workers. As for those regimental training soldiers who were killed or wounded, they would naturally be heavily compensated.

At this time, Commander Huang and Deputy Commander Qin also came in to report, and the results of their statistics showed that a total of 235 levels were killed, 260 people were captured, and the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town only suffered more than 10 casualties. Of course, there are also people killed in those heads, and Commander Huang will not take all the credit on himself, he saw that the regimental training soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but he generously divided 100 heads to the regimental training of the unloading stone sheds. As for the vigilant township soldiers on the periphery, Commander Huang automatically ignored them.

Cui Feng heard Commander Huang's report, and his heavy mood was a little better, after all, with these heads in exchange for rewards, plus the Cui family's pension, their bereaved families would have a better life.

Commander Huang said again, interrogating the Brown Bear, the leader of the bandits in Erlong Mountain, and the one-eyed dragon in Peach Blossom Mountain, and learned that the attack on the unloading stone shed village was all brought by the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain. Huang commanded the envoy to ask for an order to arrest the bandit leader of Qingfeng Mountain, and then he was escorted to the state. He didn't make much effort this time, he got such a big credit, tasted the sweetness, and was willing to take advantage of the vitality of Qingfeng Mountain to get more benefits. Besides, this time Peach Blossom Mountain and Erlong Mountain have been exterminated, and Qingfeng Mountain will be exterminated again, and the bandits of the Three Mountains will be wiped out, and the name of the Three Mountains in his town will be really loud!

Cui Feng also hated the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain, and also asked for orders to attack Qingfeng Mountain.

Liu Xu is also willing, besides, although Gu Laosi is dead, Su Qingpin is on the mountain, if he hadn't let the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain kidnap him, the black bull would not have died because of this, Liu Xu couldn't wait to catch him to avenge the black bull. Thinking of the tragic death of the black bull, Liu Xu hated him, and he had long since lost the sad thoughts of entering the village and seeing dead corpses all over the ground. But there is no time for Liu Xu to speak here, Liu Xu just looked at Cui Ye.

The Cui family was attacked by Qingfeng Mountain this time and slapped in the face by the stone shed, hoping to suppress Qingfeng Mountain in order to establish its authority. Cui Ye then spoke up: "The two adults might as well approve the request of Commander Huang and Cui Du's regimental training envoy, suppress Qingfeng Mountain, and completely eliminate the bandits in Qingzhou, which is also a great achievement." ”

Bandits in the mountainous areas of western Qingzhou have existed since before the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is indeed a great achievement to completely eradicate the bandits here. This time, two of the three mountains have been destroyed, and Qingfeng Mountain is also a great loss of vitality, and it must be much easier to exterminate it. If you allow them to breathe, and then go in and suppress them in the future, it will be difficult for them to wander all over the mountains and fields. At this time, it was a great opportunity to exterminate them, Zhang Tongju and Liu Tuanlian couldn't help but be moved, and immediately nodded in agreement with the request of the two.
