Longshan, located in Jingxiang, has a special geographical location and is a place where rogue horse thieves are entrenched. ∈↗, because this place is a treasure in the eyes of Taoism. Zhong Lingyu is beautiful and has a rich aura, so there are many Taoist monks who retreat here all year round. Some horse thieves took advantage of this to show their hospitality, and they became disciples and grandchildren of the monks. With such a backer, it is natural to work without a king's law, and it is rampant in the township.

This crackdown on bandits was led by Yang Fan, and Lu Xiangsheng nominally said that he was the imperial court, but in fact he was the master himself. If it is a peaceful day, such a major event must be reported to the imperial court, but this army is chaotic, if it is a battle, it must be reported to the imperial court, then the daylily is cold. Of course, the imperial court will not let the general army of one side do whatever it wants, and at this time the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty came out.

The eunuch supervised the army, that is, sent a eunuch trusted by the emperor to supervise. Some self-aware prison guards are fine, so they just get some oil and water, stay in the barracks to eat and drink, and it's over. won the battle to get some money, and then happily returned to Beijing to receive the credit. If you defeat it, it's all the general's pot, and it has nothing to do with him.

I'm afraid that there are some wastes who have no self-knowledge, thinking that the emperor has entrusted them with important tasks, and they are the so-called military ministers. Blindly commanding on the battlefield, I thought it was very majestic. Just like the original change of Tumu Fort, it was caused by the eunuch Wang Zhen.

This time to suppress bandits, Lu Xiangsheng originally had this idea, and as soon as Yang Fan took over, he went to Beijing to report on his work, and he was more at ease. Of course, it is impossible for Yang Fan to be completely controlled, just like he was in Linghe City, just to be a behind-the-scenes strategist. This time two battalions came, with a full 6,000 men. Han Zhongjun and Qian Qiye and their Tianxiong Army were responsible for the frontal attack, and the other battalion of Huguang Army was strictly on standby.

Originally, such a bandit. One battalion is too many. At the beginning, in Shaanxi, it was known as an uprising army of 100,000 troops. Only 10,000 officers and soldiers defeated them, these thousands of bandits. Half a battalion is almost. However, for the sake of insurance, two battalions of troops were brought in case of accidents.

At the top of Erlong Mountain, the white-eyed old man watched the wind and clouds up and down the mountain, but he looked at it calmly, as if everything was irrelevant. Indeed, to put it mildly, there was nothing about him in the first place.

"Ancestor, the people of the imperial court have all arrived at the foot of the mountain. We are still sheltered from the limelight. The boy was worried and worried. He still sold his heart, after all, he ate and drank on weekdays, and he also took a lot of benefits from those mountain bandit leaders.

The old Taoist beard fluttered, and said with a smile: "Now you know that there is trouble? If it weren't for the laziness of you guys and letting those bandits do their thing, things would have turned out like this? Seeing the old Taoist talking and laughing, the boy put his hands together, knelt down and blamed himself: "The ancestor taught me." The disciple will never dare to do it again. ”

"Alright, let's go down. Do what you have to do. Our Taoist temple is pure and self-controlled, and the officials and soldiers of the imperial court will not be good, and Erlong Mountain can't make any waves. By the way, you send two letters to the mountain and the mountain down. Lao Dao took out two letterheads from his cuffs. The above letter was sent to the high prison army under the mountain, and the lower one was sent to the big boss of the bandit village on the mountain. The old way is to be a peacemaker. lest the blood of these two dragon mountains flow into a river. ”

Lao Dao still seemed a little uneasy, and said: "Be sure to ask the senior supervisor to think twice before acting." This can not be beaten as much as possible. Then please also ask this one-eyed dragon to behave a little bit of discipline with his hands and feet, this time he must have kicked some stone, and the court will be ruthless to clean it up. ”

"Ancestor, I can't remember. What about a good word? The boy wept and mourned, his little fingers flicking.

"Idiot!" Lao Dao scolded angrily, "I can't remember such a little thing, why haven't you forgotten to eat on weekdays, go quickly!" Don't give me a lazy trick. If you are lazy again this time, beware that I will punish you for not being allowed to go out for a month! Remember? ”

"Eun, remember." The boy's head was like a chicken pecking rice.

"I know why don't you go!"

The little road boy ran down the mountain first, and then the little minion who was watching the court officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain ran errands for him and delivered the letter to the one-eyed dragon on the mountain. It's okay to be a little lazy once in a while.

A camp has been set up at the foot of the mountain, of course, it is not a long-term camp to be stationed here, but just a few large camps for the Chinese army, the commander-in-chief, and the rest. Yang Fan jumped off the stone, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand was sharp, and finally revealed its original blade.

Qian Qiye stepped on the dark horse, saw Yang Fan single-handedly independent, and said with a smile: "Dean Yang really dares, he came to Erlong Mountain single-handedly, is he in such a hurry?" If something goes wrong with you, how can you explain it to Governor Lu in the future? ”

"Yo, Mr. Qian, this person is the original Ling Hebo. It's really a talent, but it's a pity that it was ...... Alas, our family went back to Beijing and missed it with Lord Yang...... Oh, I can only call Dean Yang, it's time to open my mouth! The eunuch who came with him was acting in a weird way.

"Hehe, in the next person is lazy, I was going to contact Qian to come here to suppress bandits, and then I went all the way to the west, looked at the construction of the defense line of seven mountains and twelve rivers, and also met with the owners of several cottages, and finalized the matter, which happened to arrive at Shiyan unconsciously, and then I thought about going back to trouble, so I simply waited here for the barracks to come, and I just happened to inquire in advance."

The eunuch surnamed Gao smiled and said, "Oh? Then let's hear what information Dean Yang has. His voice rose slightly, and he seemed to be very disdainful of Yang Fan's identity appearing here, although Lu Xiangsheng and Qian Qiye had also greeted him in advance.

Yang Fan smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Is it necessary to talk to your father-in-law below?" ”

"Huh?" The old eunuch's face turned green, and there seemed to be a thorn in his words. He is high in the Tianxiong Army, who dares to contradict him like this. Even Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to talk to him like this, did Yang Fan take gunpowder, he didn't know much about him, what does it mean to take him first.

Qian Qiye's eyes rolled, and he said haha, "That, what Dean Yang means is that this information is confidential, lest the wall has ears, let's go back to the camp, sit down and talk about it, talk about it." ”

"Humph!" Gao Feng flicked his sleeves, glanced at Yang Fan arrogantly, and muttered with some sneer: "Now this Erlong Mountain, the one who is in trouble is a dragon, and he has to be coiled for me." Really, with a gloomy face. He turned over his horse's head and went away quietly.

Not far from the camp, more than a dozen young talents gathered here and chatted with each other. These people are naturally much higher in status than ordinary conscription. Most of them are the heirs of the generals, and they can't say that they are noble. Most of them have children, and they don't have any supreme status in the family, so they come over and mix some military merits, and then mix up a position to do. (To be continued......) u
