Su Hao was worried about the men and horses of the Kanyu Camp, and implored the Qin brothers and sisters to lead the local soldiers to the rescue. Everyone didn't go far, and they met Hao Tong and Deng Kui who had returned victoriously. They not only cut off the heads of the cavalry under Pi Yuanfu as a basis for going back to ask for merit, but also captured five war horses, which were just for the wounded to ride.

In the melee with Pi Yuanfu's subordinates, 6 people were killed in the Kanyu Battalion, which was also the first time that the Kanyu Battalion had been killed since its establishment, and Su Hao felt so sad about it.

"They all died because of me, and if I hadn't come up with the idea of damming the dam, maybe there wouldn't have been such a thing." Su Hao said to everyone reproachfully.

The soldiers were also sad because of the death of their robes, only Hao Tong and Deng Kui were used to seeing life and death, and they were quite unimpressed. Hao Tong said: "Why did Su Baihu say this, how can there be no casualties when the soldiers, we only folded 6 brothers, and in exchange for Yang Yinglong's 5,000 elite soldiers, this account is worth it." ”

"Hao Tong, how can you talk like that? Human life is priceless, how can we explain to their relatives when we return to Fengcheng in the future? Su Hao said to Hao Tong dissatisfied.

Hao Tong said: "Su Baihu, as the saying goes, Ci is not in charge of the army, if you can't even accept such casualties, then don't command the army." When we were fighting at the border, it was not uncommon for hundreds of people to die in a single battle. Since he chose to be a soldier, this life is no longer his own. As for their relatives, the government will go to pay for them, and Su Baihu does not need to worry about it. ”

Qin Bangping also came forward to persuade Su Hao, and Su Hao wiped away his tears and asked Hao Tong: "Are the brothers who died alive and buried?" ”

Hao Tong said: "Su Baihu, don't worry, we have already buried them." Because they were afraid that the Yang family would come to destroy the grave, they did not dare to erect a monument in front of their grave. ”

"That's fine." Su Hao said that with the traffic conditions of the year, it is estimated that the relatives of these dead soldiers will not be able to come to sweep their graves, and it doesn't matter whether there is a tablet or not. He made up his mind in his heart, and after returning to Chongqing, he wrote a letter to Lu Xiu'er, asking her to take out some silver from the income of the Su family firm and give it to the families of those fallen soldiers, which can be regarded as a piece of his heart as the main general.

Next, Su Hao introduced the Qin brothers and sisters to Hao Tong and Deng Kui. Qin Bangping's identity is a general in Zhongzhou, and his level is much higher than Hao Tong and Deng Kui, so the two hurriedly saluted the Qin brothers and sisters as subordinates. Qin Bangping held each other with his hands, was very polite to Hao and Deng, and said some words to compliment Hao and Deng's boss Deng Zilong, which made the two of them feel quite face-saving. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they joined forces and moved north together.

Walking to the road, Su Hao was able to make time to ask Chen Guanyu about the Qin brothers and sisters. It turned out that after learning that Su Hao was detained by Yang Chaodong, Zheng Lian, the prefect of Chongqing, Fu Zhong, the commander of the Chongqing Guard, and Chen Dao, the head of the military department, began to actively plan to rescue Su Hao. Su Hao took himself as a hostage and induced the Yang family and his son to allow the survey camp to conduct surveys in Banzhou, and obtained a map of the entire territory of Banzhou, which is a very prominent achievement. In this case, the military naturally had to find a way to rescue Su Hao.

It is impossible to let Banzhou release people through official negotiations, because Banzhou does not obey the management of the Ming Court at all, and once it is pressed, the Yang father and son may even take some extreme measures against Su Hao.

It is also unrealistic to send heavy troops from Chongqing to rob people. Chongqing Wei's troops are inferior to Banzhou, let alone combat effectiveness, and an open declaration of war on Banzhou is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

In a hurry, Fu Zhong remembered the Qin clan in Zhongzhou, so he urgently sent someone to negotiate with the Qin clan, and the final result of the negotiation was that Chungju sent an elite small force to infiltrate Banzhou, and together with the Kanyu battalion that had entered earlier, he would find an opportunity to rescue Su Hao. Chen Dao specially arranged for Chen Guanyu and the Qin brothers and sisters to go to Banzhou together, mainly to let Chen Guanyu play a liaison role.

Chen Guanyu knew that he didn't know martial arts, and he didn't even have the ability to protect himself in front of the two armies, so he brought Su Hao's flintlock pistol to give himself courage. Who would have thought that these two guns would really play a role at a critical moment.

"Master Su, after you go back, you must send two flintlock pistols to Lao Dao, this thing is used for self-defense, it is really easy to use." Chen Guanyu begged Su Haoyang.

Su Hao smiled: "No problem, this time you first accompanied me to Banzhou, and now you are not afraid of hardships and dangers to come to rescue me, and it is also appropriate to give you two guns." ”

"Then the old way will thank the master first." Chen Guanyu said happily.

On the other side, the Qin brothers and sisters were also whispering. Qin Liangyu asked Qin Bangping: "Brother, how do I think, you seem to be very polite to this Su Hao, he is just a small hundred households, is it worth our attention?" ”

Qin Bangping said with a smile: "Liangyu, people have sent you two good firearms, I should be polite to him, isn't it also a matter of course?" ”

Qin Liangyu played with the flintlock pistol that Su Hao gave her, smiled on her face, and said in her mouth: "This is not an ordinary firecracker, Su Hao said, this is called a flintlock pistol." But, brother, I don't believe you are so respectful to him because he gave me two guns. ”

Qin Bangping said: "It can only be said that it is not all because of this." Liangyu, think about it, the commander Fu Zhong is usually such an arrogant person, but he actually went to our Qin family for Su Hao's sake, which shows Su Hao's status. In my opinion, although he is only a hundred households now, his future future must be unlimited. ”

"Really?" Qin Liangyu was a little unconvinced, "Just because he would make this kind of flintlock pistol?" ”

Qin Bangping shook his head and said: "Making guns is just a craftsman's business, how can I have someone who can reuse it?" I'm talking about Su Hao's other achievements, although I don't know what he did in Banzhou, but just because he killed Yang Yinglong's general Pi Yuanfu, this military merit is remarkable, so it is not surprising that he has sealed a thousand households. ”

Qin Liangyu pouted and said, "This Pi Yuanfu is obviously no match for our brother and sister, if we fight for a while, I will be able to stab him to death with one shot." Who knew that this Su Hao ran out and picked up this ready-made credit, which is really hateful. ”

Qin Bangping also felt a little regretful, but things were already like this, and he couldn't compete with Su Hao, so he just persuaded: "I also blame the two of us for being too careless and letting Pi Yuanfu jump out of the battle circle." If Su Hao doesn't shoot Pi Yuanfu to death, maybe a few more of our native soldiers will die. ”

"It's a fool to be a fool." Qin Liangyu concluded to Su Hao.

Su Hao fled, the Qixingshan army was flooded, and Pi Yuanfu disappeared, and these urgent military information soon spread to Banzhou City. When Yang Yinglong heard the news, he was so angry that he swung his knife and cut down his dragon book case.

"The dam of Dalongtang collapsed, does this matter have anything to do with Su Hao?" Yang Yinglong's first concern is this issue.

"Qi Yu Chitose, according to what his subordinates see, he does have a relationship with Su Hao." It was Ma Zhengbang who escaped from the flood that spoke. Like Pi Yuanfu, he was rescued by his own war horse at the moment when the dam collapsed. However, after he saw that the Qixingshan army was destroyed in the flood, he hurriedly rode back to Banzhou City to report that his ostensible identity was Pi Yuanfu's adviser, but his real identity was an informant sent by Yang Yinglong to Pi Yuanfu's side, and he was obliged to report everything to Yang Yinglong in a timely manner.

"What did you see at the time?" Yang Yinglong asked.

Ma Zhengbang reported the conversation between Su Hao and Pi Yuanfu to Yang Yinglong, especially mentioning the "heavenly thunder" mentioned by Su Hao.

Yang Yinglong listened to it and muttered: "Is there really such a thing as heavenly thunder?" ”

"Big brother, I think that this thunderstorm may be true. Listening to Chaodong, this Su Hao can tell the underground veins without leaving home, which is obviously a master of Taoism. Chao Dong imprisoned the masters, and this matter was very inappropriate. Yang Yinglong's younger brother Yang Zhaolong said.

Yang Yinglong said: "No one can say clearly about this ghost and god thing, this king is just wondering, could it be that Su Hao ordered someone to bury gunpowder on the dam and blow up the stone dam, but pretended to be some kind of thunder." ”

"The subordinates dare to take their heads and assure that this is definitely not a gunpowder explosion." Ma Zhengbang swore with a curse, "I have usually seen the scene of a craftsman opening a mountain with gunpowder, and the power of its explosion is nothing compared to this thunderstorm. If such a big explosion is to be caused, unless thousands of catties of gunpowder are buried, how can Su Hao raise so much gunpowder in a hurry? ”

Hearing Ma Zhengbang's words, everyone had nothing to say. Yang Yinglong was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Whether it is gunpowder or heavenly thunder, this is the disaster that Su Hao brought to us in Banzhou. The 5,000 elite soldiers of Qixing Mountain are a strange soldier that I have raised with all my might, but I didn't expect it to be destroyed by Su Hao. I swear not to share the sky with this son. ”

Yang Zhaolong showed some sad expressions on his face, but he had a different idea in his heart. The Qixingshan military hoard is directly commanded by Yang Chaodong, and as Yang Yinglong's younger brother, he usually has no right to ask about the affairs there, and even the real strength of this military hoard, he doesn't know it. Now, this army hoard was washed away by a flood, and most of the 5,000 elite soldiers died, Yang Yinglong's prestige is probably going to suffer some setbacks, and Yang Zhaolong is naturally happy to see such a result.

"Chitose, now is not the time to be angry, this Su Hao has escaped not long ago, should we notify all the passes, take strict precautions, and strive to arrest him?" Ma Zhengbang suggested to Yang Yinglong.

"Never!" Without waiting for Yang Yinglong to answer, Yang Zhaolong hurriedly stopped him.

"Why?" Yang Yinglong was a little strange.

Yang Zhaolong said: "Big brother, this matter started because Chaodong encircled the Heavenly Master, if this Su Hao really has some mana, we will send troops to stop it, I am afraid that it will bring more disasters to my Banzhou." Besides, this Seven Star Mountain military hoard has been destroyed, even if we arrest Su Hao back, what can we do? ”

"What Zhaolong said is reasonable." Yang Yinglong said. Thinking that Su Hao had always dealt with Yang Chaodong, and was finally imprisoned by Yang Chaodong, Yang Yinglong couldn't help but feel a little angry with Yang Chaodong. He instructed: "Someone came, but I called that rebel Yang Chaodong to this king, and I will punish him for my life!" ”
