Chapter 9: The Triumphant Return
After the victory, the villagers of Shahe couldn't help but smile, and even Liu Zhong and other rangers laughed all the way, and they respected Wen Chou more and more in their hearts, they knew that if it weren't for Wen Chou's ingenious arrangement and his thunderous blow to the thieves and generals! The outcome of this battle is still two theories!
Qin Zhang, Wen Chou, and others, who were riding horses at the forefront, were holding back their excitement at this time, strolling in front of the team, and laughing a few times from time to time.
In fact, Wen Chou also has a lot of worries in his heart, such as this team of thieves seems to be just a detachment, and there are also 100 thieves who escape, I am afraid that it will not be long before most of the thieves army will rush to seek revenge! But now that everyone is on the rise, and the fighting spirit that has been exhausted by training for days has risen again, Wen Chou will not say these disappointing words at this time!
On the periphery of Shahe Township, the ditch close to more than half a zhang is full of horses made by the villagers, and then there are the left-behind villagers waiting for the pillow! At this moment, the township officials led by Du Yi and Jiang Cheng are also nervously waiting for the battle report to be transmitted, after all, no matter how good the theory is, it may not be able to transform into tangible results, if Wen Chou and them are defeated, they need to face the anger of the thieves.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Oh'er, the people who stayed behind shouted one after another. It turned out to be a mile away, and a horse came galloping, bringing up smoke and dust all the way. It's the Ranger who was sent to report the good news!
"A big victory, a big victory for our army!" The rider shouted before he could get closer.
"Coaxing ......" Shahe Township suddenly boiled, from the previous tension to the current state of ecstasy, many women and children cried with joy!
"What about our casualties?" Before the arrival of the teleportation ranger, Du Yi hurriedly asked.
The man gasped for a moment and said, "No one died...... Call...... 300 enemies annihilated and 500 prisoners ......"
Du Yi, Jiang Cheng and others all breathed a sigh of relief. He inquired carefully about the battle scene, and when he heard Wen Chou's arrangements before the battle, he couldn't help nodding silently, and when he heard Wen Chou kill the thief chief with a thunderous momentum, he shouted with joy and applauded!
Jiang Cheng said with deep feelings: "Wen Chou, this person, not only has extraordinary wisdom, but also has the courage of the three armies!" What a rarity! Rare! ”
Du Yi and Jiang Cheng looked at each other and said with a smile: "Jiang Gong, the future life is terrifying!" It's not like we can compare! He frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and said: "With Jiang Gong's talent, what position in the county is unacceptable?" Why do you want to settle in this Shahe Township to be a third elder? ”
Since Du Yi took office, every time he encounters a problem, he can always get a solution to the problem at Jiang Cheng's place! After investigation, it was found that this Jiang Cheng was not a villager who lived here, but only migrated here more than ten years ago, and more than ten years ago was the time of the disaster of the party, so Du Yi guessed that this Jiang Cheng was afraid that he was a party member who changed his name and surname to avoid the disaster! Now that the party has been lifted in the first year of Zhongping, there is this question!
Jiang Chengyan pointed to his head and said with a smile: "I don't have any talent, I am old, my thinking is rigid, and I can't keep up with the footsteps of young people." Then he asked the messenger ranger, "Now Qin Zhang and Wen Chou are on their way here?" ”
"Exactly, I want to be able to come here before dark!" The ranger replied respectfully. Du Yi saw that Jiang Cheng didn't want to say more about the matter, so he didn't ask anymore. shouted to the villagers of Shahe, who were still jubilant: "This is a great victory, and no one has died!" Let's welcome the heroes who fought their way to the enemy! ”
"Welcome Heroes!" The villagers shouted in a mixed manner of enthusiasm.
……
When Wen Chou and the other troops returned to Shahe Township, the sun had already set, the night was slowly covering the earth, a bright moon had already hung in the air, and the soft moonlight of silver and white color was spread over the earth.
The marching team was filled with the joy of victory, and when these militiamen, who had just experienced a brutal fight, saw the villagers of Shahe who were still waiting for their return in the night, something called pride arose!
Wen Chou saw that nearly 10,000 villagers were waiting for their arrival under the leadership of Du Yi and Jiang Cheng, and he couldn't help but be arrogant, and raised the heavy gun in his hand to the sky, raising his head and roaring! The militiamen behind Wen Chou raised their blades one after another, echoing the long howl!
Although Wen Chou's actions were done on a whim and at will, they greatly enhanced the collective sense of honor of the people of Shahe Township and the displaced people recruited! The barrier between them has faded a little more.
The villagers who participated in this battle were sincerely respected by the other people in the township.
Wen Chou and Qin Zhang glanced at each other, and bowed down to Du Yiqi: "Subordinate to Wen Chou (Qin Zhang), fortunately he did not disgrace his life and returned victorious!" ”
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" The militia said in unison.
"Ha, ha, ha...... Okay, good, good, please get up quickly, I dare not be ashamed. Du Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to help Wen Chou and Qin Zhang and continued: "You have a credit for fighting thieves, tomorrow I will go to personally invite the minister of state and ask for a reward for the kings!" ”
"There is a rank Du Gong!"
"There is a rank Du Gong!"
Du Yi said that he was going to the county to ask for rewards for the villagers, but in fact, he was also making a calculation for himself. What a merit it it is to defeat a thousand thieves, enough for him to be promoted to the rank of county magistrate in a small county with a fortune of 500 stones!
In the Han and Qin systems, the governor of a county with a population of less than 10,000 households was called a ling, and the governor of a county with a population of more than 10,000 households was called a magistrate, a county magistrate or a county magistrate, with ranks ranging from 1,000 to 300 stones. Govern the people of a county.
The villagers dispersed in joy and excitement.
When Wen Chou rushed to the official temple again, the silver-white moonlight reflected on Wen Chou's resolute and cold face, the black iron armor still covered his body, and he held a big gun with a strong iron head, which added a lot of fierce and murderous aura to his body.
This is Wen Chou interrogated the surrendered thieves, and learned that this wave of Montenegrin army thieves is a branch of the Montenegrin army Li Damu, this Li Damu was originally a native of Changshan Country House County (located in the west of Gaoyi County), quite wealthy, good at fighting righteousness, because he was not used to seeing some local big households oppressing the people, in the second year of Zhongping, there was a major epidemic, and the people of Qianshou in House County lost 23 out of ten! In a year or two, the team has grown rapidly like a snowball, reaching the point where there are more than 10,000 people today!
And Lin Li, the leader of this detachment, has saved Li Damu from danger many times! Li Damu had already had the idea of promoting Lin Li as deputy marshal, but he was worried that the thieves would not accept it, and this time he arranged for Lin Li to lead a thousand troops, just to promote him to lay a foundation.
Wen Chou came to the official temple with a heavy heart.
ps: The disaster of the party is a political event in which the bureaucrats and doctors were imprisoned for opposing the eunuch dictatorship during the reign of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The so-called "restriction" means that he is not allowed to be an official for life. The political struggle of the party lasted from the ninth year of Yanxi (166) to the first year of Zhongping (184). It affected hundreds of noble and virtuous families at that time!
