Chapter 65: Leveling the Place
At the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, Hao Anfeng's Red Turban Army lined up a strict military formation, and surrounded the big Peach Blossom Mountain in dense turns.
Today is not a drill, nor is it a hunting, these are the daily training subjects of the Red Turban Army, and today we will conduct a drill in actual combat to level the mountain bandits on Taohua Mountain.
The owner of the Peach Blossom Cottage, the "Flying Tiger", turned a blind eye to the example of the Anfeng Governor's Mansion, not only did not lay down his arms and surrendered, but also attacked Hao Shisan's civilian camp many times, causing losses to military and civilian property.
A manly man, born in heaven and earth, should benefit the common people, Hao 13 came with a whole army to eliminate harm for the people.
"Your Excellency, give the order! I only teach these thieves a lesson, and I don't know how thick the sky is. Tu Shan Jun carried a big knife and came to the Chinese army in the governor's mansion to ask for orders.
Since Tu Shan Jun was injured by the thief Chang Da, he hated the thief in his heart, and he wished that on this peach blossom mountain, he would find Chang Da who injured his teeth and cut it into two sections with one knife. How did he know that Chang Da at this time was already in Fengyang County, and Liu Ju pulled the pole to become a bandit, which was not within the control of the Anfeng Red Turban Army, and that Chang Da had already changed his name at this time - he thought that he had encountered the spring where he could be used.
"The chief steward has already pressed the territory with a large number of soldiers, thinking that the flying tiger has already been frightened, as long as the chief manager sends someone to know the righteousness and measure the flying mountain tiger, he will not dare to offend the tiger power of the chief manager, and he will definitely surrender with no hands." Shi Nai'an reported on the prelude.
"So good! I don't know which of you Confucian scholars is willing to go to Peach Blossom Mountain for me and recruit this Flying Tiger? ”
In the ranks of the Chinese army, a Confucian flashed out, it was the person who landed on the wine glass a few days ago, and the Confucian said resignedly: "Xiao Ke is willing to go for the chief manager!" ”
"That's great!" Hao Shisan praised: "If that Flying Mountain Tiger refuses to surrender, tell him that the chief can make way for him and let him leave my Anfeng Red Turban Army Territory, as long as he doesn't harm the people in my territory, I don't care where he goes." ”
The Confucian scholar was full of confidence, and he could completely describe this Confucian with an idiom - the fox and the fake tiger, the 9,000 army under the mountain, that is, the big tiger that followed the fox, scared and scared the flying mountain tiger to death.
Before that, a bloody human head rolled down the hillside, which was the head of the Confucian just now.
"Oops! O my brother! Shi Nai'an wailed and cried, it was his suggestion that killed the literati he recruited.
"Sir, don't be sad, I'll avenge you!" Hao 13 said angrily.
What a flying mountain tiger, I don't know how thick the sky is, I dare to slaughter my men, isn't this a demonstration? I have 9,000 elites under my command, and it is just a blink of an eye.
"Command the front army, prepare to attack!" Hao 13 gritted his teeth and said.
Woo-woo--the Chinese army sounded a terrible horn, and the front army let out a tsunami-like cry, and when the blue flag of the Chinese army waved, they began to charge.
"Don't be angry, this flying tiger dares to argue with the manager, this is an iron-clad tough guy, if it is contained under the account of the manager, it must be a tiger general."
Shi Nai'an put away his tears and said in a serious tone: "I think that the Confucian scholars don't understand etiquette and have offended the Flying Mountain Tiger's reverse scales, if the head manager sends another person to persuade with a downright heart, then the Flying Mountain Tiger will definitely be able to understand the hard work of the head manager!" ”
Hao Shisan has absolute military strength in front of Peach Blossom Mountain, and the people who went to surrender before will be able to succeed nine times out of ten, so a few Confucian scholars just now all want to make meritorious contributions.
Now that the bloody head of the Confucian scholar has rolled back, the flying mountain tiger is a murderer who does not enter the oil and salt, Shi Nai'an also advised Hao Shisan to continue to send people, and all the Confucian scholars were eager to shrink their heads into their collars, for fear that Hao Shisan's name would be sent to death.
"I can't let my men risk their lives to joke with the bandits." Hao Shisan said sharply.
Shi Nai'an fell to the ground with a thud, and insisted on his opinion: "Shi is not talented, I am willing to surrender again for the chief manager, please ask the chief manager for permission." ”
Hao Shisanzhen didn't know how this Shi Nai'an was so protective of the bandits, and he had to risk his own life, Hao Shisanchu didn't want to agree, but seeing Shi Nai'an like this, it was not good to leave a bad reputation for not listening to persuasion.
"The old gentleman must remember not to fight with the bandits, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, he just wants the old gentleman to return with his whole body." Hao 13 said helplessly.
"The old student will not fail in his mission!" After that, Shi Nai'an got on the horse and entered the mountain alone.
Peach Blossom Mountain is not high, and the terrain is not dangerous, but it is just a tall mountain bag, occupied by the Flying Mountain Tiger, and camped on the mountain, there are three or two thousand outlaws.
After a spring of recuperation and training, Hao Shisan's soldiers have grown to 9,000 soldiers.
The right army Wu Liuqi took the attached 1,000 Han army as the base, expanded to 2,000 people, the former army Chima Tan army was still 1,000 people, there was no increase, the rear army of 1,000 people was the dowry brought by his wife Yang Zhiyu from her mother's family, and Hao 13's 9,000 army, one-third of which was recruited by other troops.
The left army was based on Fu Youde's Xuzhou Red Turban Army and expanded to 2,000 people.
Hao Shisan's actual army, only 3,000 people of the Chinese army, is the best army selected from the homeless people and auxiliary soldiers, this team is mainly his brother Mu Jiazhai, the expansion of the team.
The displaced people in Shouzhou have their own arable land, and the tax is only 20% of the output, and there is no other tax, so after the displaced people have cultivated the land, in order to ensure that their cultivation can be harvested, they let their fathers, sons, and brothers join the Red Turban Army.
Hao Shisan still followed the old routine, organized them into the auxiliary battalion, and then selected the best among the best, and expanded his main army to 9,000 people.
Shi Nai'an has been gone for an hour, and there is no news yet, Hao Shisan is sweating in his heart, and the hand holding the handle of the knife is already full of sweat.
Shi Nai'an, an old stubborn, had to risk his life and go up the mountain to recruit thieves, why did he have to play with his life? Could it be that this bandit is a relative of his family? is still because of his Liangshan plot, and mistakenly regards the thief as a good man.
If the old gentleman is killed by the Flying Mountain Tiger, future generations will definitely not look down on the Water Margin, and maybe his apprentice Robben will not be able to write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Finally, a bad horse came down leisurely from the mountain, and the old Confucian who immediately became thin was Shi Nai'an.
I saw that Shi Nai'an's face was red, his clothes had been wetted with a large area, he was exuding the smell of wine, and he was still carrying a chicken leg in his hand, feasting on it.
A good Shi Nai'an, let him go up the mountain to recruit the thieves, but he drank wine on the mountain for an hour, and I don't know what he talked about.
"Rejoice! Joyfully! Shi Nai'an kept talking to himself, shouting happily, plopped, fell from the horse, and landed in front of Hao Shisan's eyes.
There was a flash of human figures on Peach Blossom Mountain, and the bandits on the mountain had already carried the head of the Flying Mountain Tiger, the great master of Peach Blossom Mountain, and went down the mountain to surrender.
Shi Nai'an, a literati with a good wine, does have some means to deal with thieves, but I don't know which part of his book he will write this paragraph.
