readx; After learning that King Fu rebelled, the White Lotus Sect controlled the bandits to loot, and even openly seized the state city, Cao Bianjiao felt that the problem was serious, this was no longer an ordinary bandit, and he had to immediately notify the governor Lu Xiangsheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Huangliang Dream Town is more than 100 miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion, and it is very close to Mafu Mountain, only more than 20 miles. I heard from the bandit leader surnamed Fan that the protector of the White Lotus Sect was still on the mountain, and if he could be caught and interrogated in detail, it would definitely be of great help to quell the rebellion. Therefore, Cao Bianjiao immediately made a decision, on the one hand, he sent a number of Pegasus to deliver letters to Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao, and on the other hand, he immediately opened and let the surnamed Fan lead the way to attack Mafu Mountain.

With the courage of Guanning Iron Cavalry, the villagers of Huangliang Dream Town have also become brave. They soon gathered hundreds of young and middle-aged men, each armed with wooden sticks, shovels, rakes, and the like, and volunteered to go with the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits. Cao Bianjiao thought that the place on the mountain must be not small, although according to the surname Fan, there were only a few dozen bandits left above, and there was no need to worry about fighting, but they drilled into the mountain and wanted to find out it was quite difficult. With the help of these villagers, they can save a lot of effort, so they readily agree.

Of course, the young Lu Yuansheng will not be left behind. His family was already well-off, and at this time, he was riding a big mule and walking side by side with Cao Bianjiao, looking enviously at the high-spirited Guanning Iron Cavalry soldiers, and suddenly said: "General Cao, can you take the students to meet Governor Lu?" Students want to join the army, even if they are a grain transporter for the army! ”

Cao Bianjiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled unconsciously: "You don't need to study hard at a young age, what are you doing in the army?" ”

Lu Yuansheng said angrily: "General Cao, studying and learning is also to serve the country. Fang Jinhai is restless, and there are many thieves, and now it seems that King Fu is the opposite. As a dignified man, instead of studying hard in the cold window, it is better to learn from the ancient class and write from Rong! ”

Cao Bianjiao was in awe of Lu Yuansheng when he arrived, because in this era, as the saying goes, "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and the social status of scholars is much higher than that of Wufu. Like yesterday in the city of Guangping Mansion, although he is a third-grade general, he still has to be respectful to Liu Yangcui, the fifth-grade prefect. Lu Yuansheng has the ambition to abandon literature and martial arts, which shows that he is really willing to serve the country, not for his personal future.

However, he still persuaded Lu Yuansheng: "Little brother, this dynasty implements the military household system, and there is no such thing as 'joining the army'. ”

Lu Yuansheng shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, aren't the famous Qin soldiers and the Tianxiong army of Governor Lu also recruits?" Students don't even want food and pay when they join the army, and they have to kill thieves if they bring their own dry food! ”

These words amused the people around him, and Cao Bianjiao quipped again: "But after all, you are still young, and you are born quietly, I'm afraid you haven't even killed chickens, right?" On the battlefield, it's either you who kill me, I'll kill you, and if you're not careful, your head will fall to the ground, can you? ”

At this time, Lu Yuansheng felt that he was being despised by him, and immediately blushed and protested: "I haven't been to the battlefield yet, how do you know that I can't do it?" I have a lot of strength, otherwise how could I climb the wall? Besides, I can read and write, and I can be a clerical under the account of the Governor! ”

Seeing that he was resolute-willed, Cao Bianjiao had to smile and say, "Okay, okay, I'll take you to meet the Governor another day!" But I don't know if the Governor will accept you. ”

Lu Yuansheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and whipped the butt of the big mule, and suddenly jumped to the front of the team. Cao Bianjiao also liked his youthful ambition and ordered all the soldiers to follow closely.

It only took more than an hour for everyone to rush to the foot of Mafu Mountain, when the sky was not yet dawn and the mountain was also dark. Cao Bianjiao asked his subordinates to drag the man surnamed Fan to the horse, and asked sharply: "What is the terrain on the mountain, and how is it armed?" ”

At this time, the surnamed Fan dared to be stubborn, and immediately confessed truthfully. Originally, Mafu Mountain is not very high, but it is quite steep, and there are temples and two stupas dedicated to Mafu Jun Zhao Hao on the main peak. After the bandits occupied the mountain, they built fortifications at the original mountain gate, and the only way to reach the peak was through the fortifications. There are bandits guarding this place day and night, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Cao Bianjiao listened and fell into deep thought. Obviously, there is only one way up and down the main peak, which has mixed advantages and disadvantages for encircling and suppressing bandits. The advantage is that as long as this road is blocked, it will be difficult for the bandits on the mountain to fly; The disadvantage is that it is not easy to attack, especially the Guanning iron cavalry are cavalry, but to climb such a steep peak, you must abandon your horse and walk. And without the war horse, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry will be greatly reduced, and there may be casualties, which Cao Bianjiao must try to avoid no matter what.

At this time, Lu Yuansheng blinked his eyes and said, "General Cao, can you pretend to be a bandit and earn the mountain gate?" ”

"That's right!" Cao Bianjiao suddenly woke up and said, "We still have a ready-made disguise in our hands, this guy!" ”

In a short time, fifty Guan Ning soldiers lit torches generously, two bandit leaders surnamed Fan on the left and one on the right, and Cao Bianjiao held a steel knife against his back, and walked along the mountain road to the mountain gate. In the middle of the night, the torches were so bright that the bandits, who were in charge of the sentry, saw them at once and shouted, "Who are they?" ”

Cao Bianjiao pressed the tip of the knife slightly on the back of the surnamed Fan, and the guy felt a chill to the bone, and was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted according to the words taught to him in advance: "It's me who shouts your mother!" ”

"Oh, it's the owner of the village?"

"What kind of village master, now we are officers and soldiers, call me Lord Qianhu!" The surnamed Fan continued to shout, "Hurry up and open the mountain gate, I just did a big ticket, and there are people chasing after me!" ”

By the light of the torches, the bandits recognized that it was indeed their leader, and they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the mountain gate. Cao Bianjiao ordered the soldiers to climb the stairs unhurriedly, until near the mountain gate, and after seeing that there were only four or five people guarding them, he suddenly raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The two hundred households who started immediately stepped forward with the knife surnamed Fan, they were all good hands in the Li family, and the four or five bandits were opponents, and they didn't even react, so they all moved their heads. The fifty people behind immediately seized the mountain gate, and at the same time, there was a loud killing sound at the bottom of the mountain, and one hundred and fifty Guan Ning soldiers and hundreds of villagers also quickly rushed up the mountain.

At this time, there was already a scuffle on the top of the mountain, and some of the panicked bandits didn't even bother to put on their pants, so they jumped out of the house to try to escape. But the only mountain road has been blocked, where can you escape? These people had no choice but to fight as a trapped beast, but their three-legged cat kung fu could not be compared with the children of the Li family, one of the six great families of martial arts, and they were mostly cut down to the ground without much effort.

There is only one person who rushes left and right frantically, and his skills are really not weak. However, he was surrounded by more than a dozen Guanning legions, and it was impossible for him to escape. After Cao Bianjiao asked if this was the White Lotus Sect Protector, he said with great interest: "Get out of the way, let me come!" ”
