Chapter Seventy-Four: Red Fall (1)

The smiles on the faces of the bandits suddenly froze, and their heads froze, they couldn't figure it out, they and the others just fought with Liu Ba, how could the cottage be occupied after they came back, and they were also occupied by the forbidden army.

As we all know, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were divided into forbidden army, box army, township soldiers, and fan soldiers, and these four branches of the army were the basis for defending the Great Song Dynasty from foreign invasion and civil strife.

Among them, the soldiers are subordinate to the commander of the vassal king who guards the frontier, and the soldiers under the command of Wang Chai Jun of Yunnan are the soldiers, and some people call them the border army. Under normal circumstances, most of the border troops were very brave and had seen death and blood, but their numbers were not too many, because the imperial court was afraid that the vassal king would be powerful and seek to usurp the throne.

As the name suggests, the township soldiers are a team spontaneously organized by the people of the countryside and are responsible for maintaining local law and order and other tasks, but they generally have no combat power, and even will not go to the battlefield at all.

The Xiang army belongs to the local troops, although the combat strength is acceptable, they only train a few times a month, military supplies are not abundant, and they will be required to farm and farm when they are idle, so most of them are not useful.

The forbidden army is different, as a direct force under the control of the emperor and the Privy Council, the soldiers of the forbidden army are treated very superiorly, they will maintain training every day, and they will be stationed in the barracks all year round, so the overall combat strength is much stronger than the other three branches of the army.

To put it bluntly, the overall combat power of the army in the hands of the emperor must be better than that of the local armed forces and the vassal kings, so as to maintain deterrence, and prevent the vassal kings from rebelling, let alone the civil rebellion.

Although the head catcher and others didn't know the difference, they had heard of the combat capability of the forbidden army.

Therefore, after seeing this group of forbidden troops, including Liu Ba, all the bandits felt as if the sky was about to fall.

At this moment, even an idiot can think that he and the others must have been noticed by the official army a long time ago, and the official army took advantage of the civil strife in Tiger Mountain to lead the army to raid the cottage and wait on the mountain early.

"You are the army of the bandits?" The head catcher asked with a bitter face like a frosted eggplant.

Thinking that he was still fantasizing about dominating the green forest of Caozhou a moment ago, but at this moment he had obviously become a turtle in someone else's urn, and the mood of catching the head was not good, but he still wanted to know who arranged all this.

The head catcher is not a stupid person, the moment he saw the forbidden army, he thought of the collective poisoning of Liu Ba's subordinates, which must have been arranged by the official army a long time ago.

Pity yourself and the others who are still stupidly going up the mountain to fight, but they don't know that they have already fallen into the trap of others, and they have been wiped out by others without much effort.

Although the head catcher also knew that he still had more than 100 brothers outside, he also knew that these brothers would be captured by the officers and soldiers sooner or later, or killed directly, because judging from the methods of the official and army general who secretly manipulated all this, he would definitely be able to capture the more than 100 bandits with a trick.

The head catcher didn't expect that no one answered his words, and he ignored him as soon as he was banned, and directly surrounded them.

The bandits were already frightened by this time, and when they found that there were about 1,000 people surrounding them, they all threw their weapons and signaled that they were willing to surrender.

The head catcher still didn't believe in evil, or he was not reconciled, so he asked again: "Who is secretly plotting us?" ”

"It's me, do you believe it?" A female voice suddenly answered behind him.

The head catcher was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, and saw a delicate woman who thought her complexion was slightly dark.

The woman has an excellent figure, convex and backward, but her pretty face is frosty, and her eyes are full of murderous intent when she looks at the headcatcher.

"Shangguan Sisi!" The headcatcher exclaimed.

Then, the head catcher lowered his head directly, as if he didn't dare to look at Shangguan Sisi, and his whole body shrugged down after seeing Shangguan Sisi, looking listless.

This woman is the female catcher of Lixian County who asked to see Zhao Gu that day, needless to say, this forbidden army team that surrounded the head catcher and a group of bandits was naturally the new army led by Zhao Gu.

Shangguan Sisi Mei was stunned, pulled out her saber, and was about to cut off her head with a knife, but Liu Dezhu walked out of nowhere and stretched out his hand to stop her: "Shangguan catches the head, these people have not been convicted, so they can't kill themselves." ”

Shangguan Sisi put away his knife and asked, "Where are you joining the army?" ”

"In the cottage." Liu Dezhu said with a smile, looking like the two of you must have an adulterous relationship.

Rolling his eyes, Shangguan Sisi took a heavy breath and walked directly into the cottage where he was head-catching.

After a while, Shangguan Sisi saw Zhao Gu, who was dressed in black and was reading a book.

"Zhao joined the army, and his subordinate officials thought about it." Shangguan Sisi shouted outside the door.

"Come in." Zhao Gu's gentle voice came from the room.

Shangguan Sisi entered the room and suddenly knelt heavily in front of Zhao Gu.

Zhao Gu looked up at her, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly helped her up.

"What is Shangguan doing to catch the head? Our Great Song Dynasty does not kneel and bow, even if you see the emperor in the Zichen Palace, you don't have to do this. ”

Shangguan Sisi smiled, her expression was a little lonely, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, but she quickly turned around and said, "Join the army, do you know what my father's surname is?" ”

Zhao Gu couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, and said secretly: "This Shangguan catcher simply changed careers and guessed riddles, why do you like me to guess her questions so much?" ”

But Zhao Gu still replied: "Shangguan catches the head, your surname is Shangguan, presumably your father is also surnamed Shangguan, right?" ”

"Yes." A trace of remembrance flashed in Shangguan Sisi's eyes, and he said: "The magistrate of Lixian County is also surnamed Shangguan. ”

Zhao Gu suddenly realized, it turned out that the magistrate of Lixian County, who was deceived out of the city by the head and then killed, was Shangguan Sisi's father!

No wonder she is a girl, but she went to hunt heads, she wants to avenge her father.

After thinking about it, Zhao Gu asked, "Miss Shangguan, what are your plans next?" ”

Shangguan Sisi was stunned for a moment at first, but she didn't expect Zhao Gu to call her position again, and then a smile bloomed on her face, like a wisp of orchid blooming after three feet of ice, gentle and pleasant.

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhao, I first did the head catcher to avenge my father, but now that the head catcher has been arrested, it must be impossible to escape, and I really don't know what to do for a while."

Soon, her face showed a touch of cunning again, and said: "It's better like this, I see that Brother Zhao, you are talented and resourceful, so let me make a promise with my body, anyway, you also helped me avenge my father, and you can be regarded as my great benefactor." ”
