Chapter 147: Holding the Sheep by the Hand

The route into Jingshi is very clear, starting from Mizhi County, passing through Suide Prefecture, arriving at Wubao, entering Yongning Prefecture in Shanxi from Wubao Town, passing through Fenzhou, Jiaocheng, Qingyuan, Taiyuan, Yuci, Shouyang in Shanxi, entering Zhending Mansion in Beizhili from Pingding Prefecture in Shanxi, passing through Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion, entering Shuntian Mansion, and finally arriving in Jingshi, the journey is more than 1,700 miles.

This road is not safe, especially in Shanxi, Chongzhen three years in March, Shaanxi Liukou crossed the Yellow River from Shenmu, into Shanxi, Shanxi Pingyang Mansion and Fenzhou became the hardest hit area, especially Pingyang Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Xiangling, Jizhou, Taiping and Quwo and other places, became the main place of the Liukou, that period of time was when the Houjin Tartars invaded the North Zhili, the imperial court transferred troops from all over the country into the King of Jingqin, and did not care about the wanton Liukou, which led to the deterioration of the situation in Shanxi, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, wrote several times to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, for help, but unfortunately Yang He's attention at that time was also in Beijing.

At this time, Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, led 5,000 soldiers into Jingqinwang, but after the sergeants under his command arrived near the Beijing division, all of them mutinied and fled, and most of them returned to Shanxi and directly joined the Liukou team, which led to the momentum of the Liukou even greater.

In May of the third year of Chongzhen, Houjin Tatar finally completely evacuated Beizhili, at this moment Yang He thought about intensifying the efforts to exterminate the Liukou, but at this time, the Liukou force that remained in Shaanxi also began to grow, so that Yang He was overstretched, and what was even worse was that Yang He adopted the combat policy of focusing on appeasement and supplemented by extermination, and once the main force of the Liukou encountered the encirclement and suppression of the official army, he would choose to surrender, anyway, he was unharmed, his strength was preserved, and he could also get food.

At the end of the third year of Chongzhen, the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi became not very stable, but because the Houjin Tatars evacuated Beizhili, and Sun Chengzong, the military department Shangshu and Jiliao Governor, recovered the four cities of Luanzhou, Qian'an, Yongping and Zunhua, the emperor was very happy, and did not blame Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and officials at all levels in Shaanxi and Shanxi.

When starting from Mizhi County, Wu Fanhui took Yang Yong and others, and finally dug out the talisman and Yanling knife he buried from the ground, as if these things were nothing at all, after Suidezhou and Wubao Town, it was very calm, and entered Yongning Prefecture in Shanxi, Wu Fanhui and his entourage felt strange, there were few pedestrians on the official road, almost no businessmen, and it was a little later, there were no pedestrians on the official road, and it was deserted.

Wu Fanhui and his entourage are also very careful, he doesn't want to bump into a large number of rogues, Li Yong and other fifty people under his command, more than enough to deal with bandits, but can deal with large-scale rogues, there is no slightest chance of winning, plus a large number of border troops into the team, so that its combat effectiveness has also changed significantly.

Entering Yongning Prefecture, the speed of the people accelerated, and they basically did not stop on the road, or rested in the villages and towns where the official roads were concentrated, or rested in the cities.

Li Yong is also cautious, and will personally investigate every day to see if it is safe on the official road.

Perhaps it was a large group of people, and all of them were on horseback, and it was safe for several days in a row, although there was some trepidation.

When Wu Fanhui was in a hurry, he basically didn't speak, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi could only endure it, they could also feel abnormal, after all, the rogues in Shaanxi were somewhat famous in the entire Ming Dynasty.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the group arrived in Fenzhou.

Although it is still during the Spring Festival, there is some silence and gloom in the city of Kezhou, and you can't feel the festive atmosphere.

After finding the inn to rest, Li Yong and Ma Jigang and others left the inn and went around the city, they didn't go to see any scenery, they were inquiring about all kinds of news, which has become an important means for them to obtain intelligence, people living in the local area, must be concerned about the situation of travel, especially the situation of the official road, Li Yong and Ma Jigang through this method, they can know whether the official road ahead is safe.

It was not yet dark, and Li Yong, Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, Liu Fangheng and others entered the room.

"Young master, from Fenzhou to Jiaocheng, I haven't heard of any rogues, the local people say that the rogues are active in Jizhou and Xiangling, and in the second half of last year, there were also some rogues who entered Fenzhou, but they were all gone at the end of the year, and I don't know where they went."

Wu Fanhui thought about it for a while, it seems that the Liukou should still be active in Jizhou and Xiangling, after all, their combat effectiveness is not very strong, thinking that it is difficult to take too many cities, and it takes a long time, the reason why some of the Liukou entered Fenzhou is still to take advantage of the fire to rob, and later found that they couldn't get anything good, so they naturally moved to the Xiangling area.

"Young master, my subordinates have heard that from Fenzhou to Jiaocheng, there are two bandits on the official road, they are so bold and reckless that they even rob on the official road in broad daylight."

A smile appeared on Wu Fanhui's face.

"The brothers have been training in the village for about a year, and they have never had the opportunity to fight, this opportunity is just right, take down these two bandits, and see how the brothers are training."

"Young master, this will delay the time to hurry."

"One or two days is nothing, it only took us six days to arrive in Fenzhou, the speed is already very fast, according to this speed, there is no big problem to arrive in Beijing at the end of the first month."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."

"Deploy well, remember to get rid of the bandits' lair, so that we can really exterminate these two bandits, I will accompany Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi to rest in Fenzhou City for two days, remember, it is two days."

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi were already very tired, they were indeed a little uncomfortable with such a fast speed, and they also wanted to be able to rest for a day or two or so, Wu Fanhui's arrangement was exactly in line with their intentions, but the two didn't know that Wu Fanhui would arrange for Li Yong and others to go to the official road to suppress bandits.

That night, Li Yong left the city of Fenzhou with thirty people.

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi didn't have the strength to wander around Fenzhou City at all, most of the time they rested in the inn, hurrying to recover their strength, Wu Fanhui didn't think about going out, Fenzhou City and Xi'an Mansion City are definitely not comparable, besides, they won't buy anything, and it doesn't make much sense to go out for a stroll.

On the twelfth day of the first month, at the time of Shen.

Li Yong and others returned to Fenzhou City.

When Wu Fanhui saw the expressions of Li Yong and others, he knew that the action was very smooth.

Wang Baofu closed the door of the room, and Li Yong took out four or five cloth bags from his arms and put them on the table.

"Young master, this operation went very smoothly, the two bandits were all wiped out, and the subordinates took their brothers and raided their lair."

"How is the situation with the brothers."

"Four people were slightly injured, there is no problem, we killed twelve bandits, the rest of the bandits are scattered, their nests are all in the mountains, there is no savings in the nest, it seems that these bandits are living one day at a time, this is the money seized by subordinates, and it has not been opened."

Wu Fanhui looked at the cloth bag on the table, but he didn't open it.

"Tell me how you feel, the brothers have been training for a year, and what has changed."

"It's still the young master, this year's training, the effect is very good, the subordinates didn't expect it, when they came back, the subordinates talked to Ma Jigang and others, and they all felt that the brothers were more swift and more brave in rushing and killing."

There was no change in the look on Wu Fanhui's face, this so-called change was almost the same as not saying it, what he needed was other changes.

"The subordinates feel that the biggest change is the consistency of action, the brothers obey the command, as long as the subordinates give orders, they can rush up together to kill the enemy, if the subordinates do not give orders, even the bandits are dangling on the opposite side, and no one will make a move."

Wu Fanhui nodded, and finally showed a smile on his face, in fact, in the first month of last year, he noticed the problem, that is, the sergeants under Li Yong's command still have some loose habits, and sometimes attack, they did not wait for the order to be issued, this is definitely a big taboo, so in a year's training, what he emphasized was discipline, and what he emphasized was obedience to commands.

Only in this way can we truly form an invincible army.

"Yes, Li Yong, Ma Jigang, Sun Kailin, Liu Fangheng, now you should understand the importance of discipline, no matter at any time, discipline is the first place, only iron discipline can be a strong army long ago, this time I ask you to exterminate these two bandits, in fact, I want to test many brothers, whether they understand the importance of discipline."

Reaching out to pick up the cloth bag on the table, Wu Fanhui was a little surprised, the cloth bag was still a little heavy.

The cloth bag was opened, and some gold and silver rolled out.

"These bandits seem to have a harvest, Li Yong, clean up all the money carefully, register it well, and when you return to Mizhi County, Dai Nengxiang will still be included in the account book."

Speaking of this, Wu Fanhui looked at Li Yong and the others.

"I don't think there's a Brotherhood hiding money."

"Report to the young master, absolutely not, my subordinates have repeatedly emphasized that if someone dares to hide money privately, or even loot it privately, they will be killed."

"Very well, you go and rest, and we will leave tomorrow."

After Li Yong and the others left the room, Wu Fanhui fell into deep thought, the situation of this battle was still in his expectation, the so-called bandits were just those hungry people, or some idle people, occupying the mountains as kings, relying on robbing ordinary people to live, the rogue had been active in this area, I am afraid that they have already joined the rogue team, and the so-called bandits who stayed, I am afraid that the rogue will not care.

To deal with these people, Li Yong and others are more than enough.

It seems that the training has achieved tremendous results, and it must be known that in two days, to be able to exterminate the two bandits, it is necessary to first conduct reconnaissance, plan according to the detected situation, and launch an attack, etc., Li Yong and others can do it, and their combat effectiveness is already very good.
