"Is the one on Liuyun Village also a horse thief?" Li Guanqi asked calmly.

The horse thief shook his head and said, "Liuyun Village is a mountain bandit, they are numerous, and the cottage is dangerous, so they dare to stay in one place." ”

"Lots of people?" Li Guanqi frowned slightly and said, "How many people?" ”

The horse thief squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know the exact number of people. However, listening to their boasting that there are nearly 20,000 people. ”

"Xia Da is in charge?" Li Guanqi said suspiciously, "Isn't the big boss of Liuyun Village surnamed Zhao?" ”

"That's a long time ago." The horse thief pouted and said, "I heard that the surnamed Zhao couldn't resist the temptation of glory and wealth, and went to Beijing to take refuge in the emperor. Later, the surnamed Zhao also planned to go back to the cottage to recruit An, but was beaten out by the Xia Da family. ”

Li Guanqi was stunned for a long time when he heard this, he didn't expect that in the past half a year, Zhao Zheng and the others have also experienced so many twists and turns. From this point of view, the last time they met was indeed a coincidence, Zhao Zheng and the others should have been on the run at the time, so it is no wonder that they said goodbye. They can't be trusted even if they are already officials, and they can't be trusted by bandits.

Li Guanqi actually knows a little bit about the self-respect of the local garrison to raise bandits, and he also understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no fugitives, and to be honest, he wants to turn a blind eye.

But the bandits in Shannan and Jiannan are indeed a bit unusual, the horse thieves on the Shannan side actually dare to attack the officials and troops several times their own in broad daylight, and the mountain bandits on the Jiannan side actually have nearly 20,000 people in a village, and if they continue to develop, I am afraid that it will be a big thing.

Li Guanqi thought to himself: "Horse thieves and mountain bandits must be suppressed, and we must find a way to exterminate them." However, if we do not pull out the root cause of the breeding of this group of scourges, and if we eliminate this group, a new batch will be produced. ”

How is Jingshi, it has been nearly a month since he left. Everything is business as usual in the DPRK, are He Bijun and Yue'er okay? We'll know when the people sent to Beijing come back. Li Guanqi felt that he had too many things to do with time to do now, and he couldn't wait to end everything at this time and rush back to Beijing immediately.

But...... Is it possible? If you don't settle the two most restless generals of Shannan and Jiannan, you won't be able to make the generals of the other provinces truly subjugate. The armies of the world are not of the same mind as themselves, where can they talk about anything else?

Li Guanqi stopped, let out a long breath, raised his legs and walked to the door, and suddenly stopped again. "This man gives him a good time, and the others are imprisoned!"

Because he learned that the mountain bandits in Liuyun Village in Fuyu Mountain were powerful, and the current big boss was not Zhao Zheng, who he wanted to subdue, but Xia Liu, who had tried to blow him up, so Li Guanqi had already decided in his heart that after arriving at Chengdu Mansion, where the Jiannan Daozhi Office was located, the first priority was to ask Li Moran to suppress the bandits; The second priority is to go to Jiannan Yang's house to propose marriage, and he wants Yang Yuqing, who is a serious child, to be a concubine.

As for Zhao Zheng. He definitely won't be in Jiannan anymore, so he has to resign himself to fate. The reason why Li Guanqi has such an idea. The main reason is that he has always had a mustard in his heart - when he was in Jiangling, Zhao Zheng once said that Liu Hanyan was his clumsiness......

Of course, as soon as he left Xiangyang, Li Guanqi continued to choose to leave the brigade and go private. Who would have expected that it would not be far from entering Jiannan Road just now. Then he heard another thing that made him laugh - the mountain bandits of Liuyun Village in Fuyu Mountain went down the mountain, this time they didn't pick up some small villages and towns to loot, they went directly to fight the county seat, and they hit Wei County, which is more than 100 miles away from here, and I heard that the city has been besieged for three days.

Li Guanqi hurriedly went to the largest green building here. He's going to find out the news, the intelligence department's biggest investment in various places is brothels......

Judging from the information learned by the Intelligence Department: there are only more than 1,000 garrisons in Weixian County, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, while Liuyunzhai is besieged by five or six thousand people. But even so, it won't last long.

As for the reason why Xia Liu is entrenched in Liuyun Village, the bandits will become bigger and bigger, Li Guanqi also understands a little. First, the mountains here are high and densely forested, and the rivers under the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the second is that it is located at the junction of Shannan and Jiannan, and it is not easy for officials and troops to unify their command; The third is that the local people are fierce, and they can occupy it for a long time by communicating with the bandits, delivering news, and transporting food to the enemy.

Li Guanqi thought about it for a while, and felt that he couldn't adopt the stupid method of treating his head with a headache and his feet hurting, and if he transferred troops to relieve the siege of Wei County, Xia Liu could completely use the guerrilla tactics of "the enemy advances and I retreat" to deal with himself. At this time, the best way is to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", directly send troops to fight Liuyunzhai, force Xia Liu to return to the army, and then have a decisive battle with him, so as to completely eliminate this group of giant bandits.

As for the soldiers and horses, the 5,000 Xiao cavalry guards and the 3,000 Yulin guards were less than 100 miles away from him, but Li Guanqi also knew in his heart that it was okay for these two troops to protect themselves, but it was not appropriate to use them to suppress bandits. After all, Shannan is Chen Guangxi's territory, and Jiannan is Li Moran's territory, so if the soldiers of the two of them are not used, but with their own pro-army, it is difficult to ensure that these two have no ideas in their hearts.

After weighing, Li Guanqi still decided to send people to Xiangyang to transfer troops to attack Liuyun Village of Fuyu Mountain, because although Fuyu Mountain is in the territory of Jiannan, it is actually closer to Xiangyang, only less than four hundred miles away.

At the same time, in order to inspect the two generals he fancied, Li Guanqi specially stated in the will to transfer troops that Zhou Hu and Zhao Zheng must be involved this time.

After sending away the Ouchi guards who had gone to transfer troops, Li Guanqi walked out of the room slowly, intending to relieve his emotions, and He Ziming hurriedly followed out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, He Ziming was already in the wrong shape and blocked in front of Li Guanqi, Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, and crossed He Ziming's shoulder, only to find that there was a person standing in the courtyard at some point, and his clothes were slightly fluttering in the night breeze.

For a moment, Li Guanqi also thought that he had met an assassin, but after thinking about it, where could an assassin stand in someone's courtyard so blatantly.

While thinking about it, the man had already bowed to the ground, and said, "Grass people Zhao Zheng is knocking on Your Majesty!" ”

"Zhao Zheng?" Li Guanqi pushed He Ziming away, looked at it, and sure enough, it was Zhao Zheng who he had been looking for. Hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said excitedly: "Get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Zheng stood up without humility or arrogance. (To be continued......)
