As the two spoke, they heard footsteps behind them, and when they looked back, it was Qin Qiong in their mouths. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Qin Qiong saw the two of them, he knelt down at the two of them with tears in his eyes, knocked his head heavily, and said: "Qin Qiong thanked the brothers in the mountain for their great kindness. ”

Obviously, the conversation between Zhao Gu and Cao Wei was heard by Qin Qiong.

Zhao Gu smiled and helped Qin Qiong up: "You don't have to thank us, these are all in exchange for you reporting Wang Xiongxin and others, if they really want to thank them, let them thank you." ”

Cao Wei also nodded, while Qin Qiong showed an embarrassed expression.

It turned out that Qin Qiong was threatened by Wang Xiongxin and Li Maogong at that time, and he did have the idea of helping them harm the officials and soldiers, but Qin Qiong was a righteous person after all, and he was already very disdainful of Wang Xiongxin's behavior, and Zhao Gu and Cao Wei had always trusted him, which made him very moved, so in the end, he still couldn't give up.

So after Qin Qiong thought about it for a long time, he still took advantage of the night to tell Zhao Gu about the plans of Wang Xiongxin and the others.

Wang Xiongxin and Li Maogong told Qin Qiong at that time that the bandits were going to steal dozens of fine horses as revenge for the official army's attack on Jianshan Mountain, so that Qin Qiong drugged the officials and soldiers to stun the officials and soldiers in order to create opportunities for the bandits.

After Zhao Gu learned about it, he decided to make a plan, so he ordered that the war horses should not be fed during the day, and at the same time asked the recruits to feed the war horses a lot of crotons.

The war horses were hungry for a day, and when they saw that there was food, they naturally ate a lot, so it caused the war horses to collectively diarrhea.

But the war horse is a war horse after all, with a strong physique, although it is a little strained, it still looks strong and powerful, so Wang Xiongxin and others were fooled and tried to escape on the selected war horse.

They didn't expect that the war horses just seemed to be fine, they were first starved for a day, and then they ate croton and caused diarrhea, where did they still have the strength to run, so they lay down one after another.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, and that they were being pointed at with bows and arrows behind them, the bandits had no choice but to surrender.

In fact, Zhao Gu didn't need to be so troublesome, he just had to ask Qin Qiong to lead the bandits down the mountain, and then send new soldiers to encircle and suppress them.

However, considering the ferocity of the bandits, if the officers and soldiers surrounded them, they would inevitably resist hard, and it would inevitably cause casualties to the recruits, so he chose the method of drugging the horses.

Because of this method, when the bandits fled, they saw that the officers and soldiers behind them did not chase after them, and they were bound to believe that the officers and soldiers had no murderous intentions towards them, so they would not fight to the death, but would choose to obediently accept the surrender.

In this way, the bandits were stabilized and could only obediently wait for the sanction of the imperial court, while the recruits avoided casualties, which can be described as bloodless.

The only thing that this plan may suffer from is those war horses, but as far as Zhao Gu knows, it is also possible to properly clear the stomach of the war horses, and it is good to rest for a few days, and it will not cause damage.

Although Zhao Gu traveled from the later generations, his predecessor came from the sixteen states of Yanyun, and was taught by his father to raise horses and train horses since he was a child, so he couldn't understand the situation of horses anymore.

As a result, the only minor flaw in this plan can be omitted.

Zhao Gu and Cao Wei talked with Qin Qiong for a while, and exchanged views on the remaining bandits in Zhao'an Mojian Mountain, and when it was dawn, Qin Qiong went up the mountain again in a hurry.

With him went up the mountain, along with a thousand recruits led by General Liu. Because considering that Wang Xiongxin still has his comrades on the mountain, they all took the trail up the mountain.

After going up the mountain, Qin Qiong quietly touched into the cottage, found the brothers he usually befriended, and first managed to rescue Huzi and Shishi's family, and then ascended to the top and shouted, making Wang Xiongxin's kidnapping of Huzi and Shishi's family public.

When the brothers heard this, they were all furious, everyone was a bandit in a cottage, but Wang Xiongxin viciously took down his brother's family as a threat, this incident seriously stimulated the nerves of the brothers, after all, no one knows whether Wang Xiongxin will also take their family in the future.

Qin Qiong later told the news that Wang Xiongxin, Li Maogong and others had been captured, and all the brothers were terrified when they heard it, for fear that the official army would take advantage of the situation to attack the mountain.

At this time, General Liu appeared in the valley with a thousand new soldiers, conveying the imperial court's intention to recruit peace.

For the appearance of a thousand officers and soldiers, the bandits were in a mess, and it was not until they found out that the officers and soldiers really had no malicious intentions that they slowly calmed down.

Qin Qiong was persuaded hard by the side at this time, and after thinking for a long time, the bandits finally decided to go down the mountain to accept Zhao'an.

After that, things were much easier, the bandits handed over their weapons and went down the mountain under the leadership of Qin Qiong, and General Liu took a thousand recruits to seal the cottage and wait for the court to dispose of the cottage.

The bandits went down the mountain, Cao Wei ordered them to be temporarily detained, and at the same time he wrote a document to report the matter of Mojian Mountain's suppression of bandits to the imperial court, and now he only waited for the results of the imperial court's disposition.

However, judging from the previous experience of the imperial court in quelling the turmoil, Wang Xiongxin and other dozens of bandits were probably going to be beheaded, and the remaining bandits would be dealt with one by one according to the severity of the crime, but their lives could be saved.

What's more, most of the remaining bandits were homeless people from this homeless army, and they were arrested before they could even carry out a robbery, so they would probably only be educated and sent back to their hometowns as usual.

Qin Qiong saw that Cao Wei really didn't implicate the remaining bandits in the paperwork, so he really relieved his heart and was grateful to Zhao Gu and Cao Wei.

His worries were not wrong, if Cao Wei waved his hand and classified the remaining bandits into Wang Xiongxin's category, the remaining eight hundred bandits in Mojian Mountain would inevitably accompany Wang Xiongxin on the road.

And in the record of the new army led by Cao Wei, it is natural that the number of more than 2,000 beheadings will be written, instead of the current more than 1,000 beheadings and more than 1,000 captures.

After all, according to the convention, the more beheadings an army has, the greater the merit, and the capture is relatively lighter, because in the subconscious of people, the captured are naturally weak, and only the greater the number of enemies who die on the battlefield, the more it can prove the ferocity of the combat troops.

Cao Wei only smiled at this, but did not explain that as the son of Cao Bin, the god of the Great Song Dynasty, he still disdained to use this method to obtain military merits.

The court's reply order did not make everyone wait for a long time, and six days after Cao Wei's report was sent, the court's reply order came.

The reply order did not exceed expectations, Wang Xiongxin and others were ordered to be taken into custody and beheaded by the Caozhou local government within the year, and the remaining bandits were pardoned except for those who did all kinds of evil, and even those who did nothing wrong were only sentenced to prison terms ranging from a few years to more than ten years.

Hearing the news from Cao Wei, the bandits finally breathed a sigh of relief, and many people couldn't help but cry because of the high tension that was finally released.
