"Brother, just let the tiger go back to the mountain like this?" Seeing Chao Gai wading away, Lin Chong walked up to Wang Lun and asked.

Wang Lun laughed when he heard this, and said: "He can be regarded as a tiger, but unfortunately this time we pulled out his teeth and broke his claws. This Chao Gai first lost seven or eight hundred villagers, and then gave up seventy thousand yuan, if he still has the strength to fight back, Wang Lun had to compliment him in front of him "admiration".

Lin Chong nodded when he heard this, and at this time, two fast horses galloped from the north and south directions, Lin Chong saw this and said: "I think the two brothers Du Qian, Song Wan and Teacher Lu Ti have reported back!" ”

Sure enough, the two horsemen ran to Wang Lun one after the other, and they both said loudly: "Leader Lin and Leader Xu are back with Jeju captives!" "Leader Du and Leader Song escorted the officers and soldiers of Yuncheng County back! ”

When Wang Lun saw this, he ordered: "There is no need to ask them to run more, just go to the lake to meet!" The two horsemen received the order, and hurried back to their respective paths.

At this time, the old lady stepped forward and said, "O king, these descendants ......."

Wang Lun knew his intentions, stepped forward to help the old lady and said: "I don't have the habit of killing prisoners, I will take these people to the mountains and teach them for a year and a half, and then say, people have to bear the consequences of what they do!" "It just so happened that there was a shortage of labor in the cottage, so these people were sent to the door without interest, and there were a total of 15,600 officers and soldiers in Jeju and Yuncheng, so it would be good to break them up and take them to build customs and repair cards.

When the old lady saw that Wang Lun didn't kill them, her heart was also exhausted by her fellow villagers, and she couldn't tell the king in front of her to let go of these people who were still fighting with him with a knife just now, so the old lady just thanked him: "Thank you for sparing their lives!" ”

Wang Lun nodded and said to the old lady: "Are the villagers all right?" ”

The old lady smiled: "Nothing, nothing! How dare these cubs do anything with us! ”

The two talked for a while, only to see Chao Gai wading in the water with more than a dozen people carrying heavy wooden boxes, and after a while, the Heavenly King of Natota came to Wang Lun and arched his hand and said, "Leader Wang, the money has been brought!" Then the fourteen boxes were gently put on the ground by the people brought by Chao Gai, and these people saw hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, and their legs were so frightened that they went limp.

Wang Lun only glanced at the box, Zhang San was about to come forward to inspect the goods, Wang Lun waved his hand, and said: "The character of King Chao Tian is still trustworthy!" After speaking, he just looked at Chao Gai and said: "Ansheng is your private businessman, you and I will write off a lump sum for the holidays, and there will be a period later!" ”

Chao Gai stared at Wang Lun for a while, sighed and said: "Thank you for not killing the king completely, let me live today, Chao Gai will not dare to stir the tiger's whiskers again in the future!" ”

Wang Lun nodded, pointed to Zhu Tong and the others, Chao Gai arched his hand when he saw this, and said, "Farewell!" He walked towards the brothers who were killed by himself this time, only to see that there was no Lei Heng among the crowd, and he was wondering to himself, but he heard a voice from behind, "Han Bolong still has breath, and there is still a life, that Lei Heng is not here, I will let him go back to the mountain!" ”

Hearing this, Chao Gai turned around and arched his hand to Wang Lun, stepped forward and led everyone to escape from the tiger's mouth. Seeing this, Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian bowed to Wang Lun before turning around and leaving. I only heard Li Kui shouting, "Good man scholar, I'll go first, don't forget to say something!" Only then did he take care of himself and left, Chao Gai saw Li Kui, remembered the situation he had just rescued, and bowed to him, Li Kui snorted and sneered, but he didn't see it, so he left first. Chao Gai sighed when he saw this, stepped forward to pick up Han Bolong, and left side by side with Zhu Tong. Seeing this situation, Wu Yong wanted to leave, but he was afraid, Ruan Xiaoqi shouted when he saw this: "The professor is going well, but it will be indefinite!" Wu Yongjian said that it was like hearing the sounds of heaven, and bowed to this side indiscriminately, and then turned around and rushed to Chao Gai's side, thinking that he was eager to explain something.

When Wang Lun saw that they were all gone, he asked Lin Chong to take the cavalry to escort the prisoners first, and he turned around and said goodbye to the old man: "Old lady, Xiao Ke will take his leave!" ”

The old man hurriedly said, "The king walks slowly!" ”

Wang Lun bowed to the villagers, and the villagers hurriedly returned the salute, only to see that at this time, Zhang San led people to lift the twelve boxes brought by Chao Gai on the road, and the old lady saw this and said: "Then the next life, there are still two boxes left!" ”

That Zhang Sanjian replied with a smile: "That's what our village owner left for the villagers, just take it for the elderly!" ”

When the old lady heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I can't help it!" ”

Wang Lun said with a smile: "Old man, we are going back to the mountain, there is a lot of disturbance today, and the villagers are frightened, don't make a noise when you go back, so that Chao Gai is afraid that there will be trouble again!" ”

The old lady said gratefully: "We didn't do anything for the king, just call the king so kind!" ”

Wang Lun patted his hand and said, "Don't talk about two families!" He waved to everyone again, and then said goodbye, and the villagers hugged the old lady and waved behind him.

Everyone came to the lake, Du Qian, Song Wan led the infantry to escort Lei Heng and more than 100 county officers to wait here for a long time, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu also got off the boat early, waiting for Wang Lun here, the two sides met, Wang Lun first asked Du Qian to release Lei Heng, Du Qian asked without asking the reason to go, everyone talked about a lively conversation, only to see Lu Zhishen and Xu Ning also tied up five or seven hundred Jeju officers and soldiers to come to the round, Lu Zhishen arrived at him, and asked Wang Lun: "Brother, is there anything to do?" ”

Wang Lun said with a smile: "I left the village a little early, but fortunately, Sect Leader Lin arrived in time, you and Teacher Xu are okay all the way?" ”

Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "The first gong was taken away by Xiao Qi, we just ran back and ran for nothing!" ”

Wang Lun shook his head and said: "Your side is the main thing, if Xiao Qi doesn't turn over these guys, you and Teacher Xu have to rely on you!" ”

When discussing at the cottage that day, the original plan was that Xu Ning would take 200 horses and Lu Zhishen would take 1,500 infantry to intercept Chao Gai's Jeju reinforcements. But when he came down to the countryside, he first ate all the pigs, sheep, chickens, and geese raised by the good people, and then he had to be pestered and sent away. It's better for us to pretend to be people who welcome relatives, and bump into these officers and soldiers head-on, so we don't believe that they have been gone for half a day, and they are not moved by the steamed beef we are carrying! Wang Lun felt that this plan was wonderful, if he could not use the sword soldiers to surrender this guy, it would be the best, so he asked Ruan Xiaoqi to pretend to be the groom, and in case of emergency, he sent Lu Zhishen and Xu Ning to ambush on the side.

At this time, I saw Xu Ning step forward and said: "It's strange that these Jeju infantry soldiers are all leading horses!" Now that we have captured these six or seven hundred horses, it is called the formation of the cottage horse army! ”

When Wang Lun heard Xu Ning's words, his heart moved, and he was surprised: "Could it be that the guy who led the team is Huang An, the training envoy of the Jeju regiment?" ”

Lu Zhishen and Xu Ning glanced at each other, and both said: "I haven't heard of this, the leader is sleeping soundly!" ”

Wang Lun sent someone to wake up the leading general with water, and as soon as the servant woke up, he said: "Where did you come from, the bridegroom, who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and dares to touch me!" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi stepped forward and said, "Why don't you dare to touch you?" The master will kill you, and you're just waiting! ”

When the man saw the surrounding environment clearly, he was taken aback, and his face turned white, but he heard Xu Ning ask, "What's your name?" ”

This person was obedient, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "The villain is yellow...... Whole! ”

"Yellow Springs!? Bah, why don't you call it hell! Ruan Xiaoqi scolded.

When the man saw that, he dared to talk back, lowered his head and only looked at shaking, and the two rows of teeth in his mouth were fighting each other at this time.

Wang Lun hesitated for a moment when he saw this person's registration, knew that something was wrong, and shouted at him: "Huang An! ”

The man was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Wang Lun in shock, Wang Lun saw this and felt the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "If you don't admit it, I will wake up another person at that time, if he recognizes you, you don't have to tremble anymore, just tell you to set foot on the road of the Yellow Spring!" ”

That guy has been messing around in the officialdom for a long time, and his eyesight is good, and he realized that Wang Lun is the leader of the bandits, and hurriedly said: "The villain is Huang An...... The villain is Huang An......"

Wang Lun smiled and said: "To tell the truth, we are so easy-going, and we don't know how to treat you, now I want your life is useless, you say it yourself, how much is your life worth!" ”

Seeing that the bandit leader in front of him had the intention of kidnapping the ticket, instead of executing himself on the spot, he was as happy as if he was in a desperate situation, and hurriedly said: "A thousand times, a thousand times!" ”

"Phew! A thousand? It's not worth it to ask my brothers to travel dozens of miles to get busy for this thousand times! Brother, just kill this guy with one knife and clean it up! Ruan Xiaoqi took out a knife to scare this person.

Huang An was so frightened when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Five or five thousand times, there is really no more!" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Five five thousand or five thousand is one hundred and fifty thousand, this number can be considered!" ”

Huang An heard the words like a mourner, a mouth opened wide where to speak, Wang Lun saw him like this, thought to himself, this person is the first person to lead troops into the mountain to encircle and suppress after Chao Gai seized the throne, it seems that Song Jiang is still the old Song Jiang, in the future, Song Jiang went up the mountain and asked Huang An about his movements as soon as he saw Chao Gai, and as a result, this person died on the mountain within two months after being arrested. At this time, Wang Lun saw him like this, so he said: "In this way, my brother said 15,000, and you said 5,000, so take the middle number, 10,000, how about it?" ”

Huang An felt better when he heard this, and said: "Cheng Cheng Cheng will follow the leader's orders!" ”

Wang Lun asked again, "Why are you so many horses in Jeju City?" Wang Lun remembered that the Song Dynasty was extremely short of horses, and he used to think that Chao Gai captured more than 600 horses in a battle, but now the facts are in front of him, but it makes him feel a curiosity in his heart.

Huang An hurriedly said: "It's all transferred by the governor of the state in the forbidden army!" ”

"Nonsense! The forbidden army in Jeju City only has four commanders under the command of the Commander Division of the Guards and Infantry Army, where is your 2,000 infantry army with horses? Even the cavalry under the command division of the Tokyo Horse Army is only ten people, barely equipped with four or five horses, you are not honest! Lin Chong shouted on the side when he heard this. His family has been in the army for generations, and the number of forbidden troops that the imperial court has equipped in various states is in his chest.

"Yes, I remember that it seems to be the three commanders of Wuwei, Xiongsheng, and Xuanyi, and one is ......" Xu Ning heard Lin Chong's words, and also continued, but there was still a commander who couldn't remember. Command is the most common combat unit in the Song army, each commander has about 500 people, and the commander is the commander and deputy commander. It is said that the Song Dynasty is a general who does not know the soldiers, which means that when the army is stationed and transferred, it will disrupt the high-level establishment, and a considerable number of commanders from various military regions will be mobilized to form an army, so that the commanders and generals do not know the commanders under their command, but the command units at this level will not be dismantled and disrupted, so they have become the most important and common combat units in the Song army.

Huang An was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart How could these people know the situation of the forbidden army so well, seeing that the bandit leader looked at him, his face was uncertain, Huang An was in a hurry, and without waiting for him to speak, he said: "Villain...... The villain is a native of Shanzhou, and his family has a little relationship, and the horse markets in Jeju, Shanzhou, and Yanzhou are managed by the villain's family, so there is no shortage of horses in the forbidden army under the villain's rule! ”

Wang Lun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it turned out that this Huang An was still a local tyrant from a big family, and his family monopolized the horse markets in these three states, and he also sold horses to the army through his connections to earn military expenses from the imperial court, which can explain why there is no shortage of horses in Jeju.

Wang Lun looked at the captured horses and said with a smile: "Huang Tuanlian, if you sell the horse to your subordinates, the horse doesn't look good!" ”

Huang An's face turned red and lowered his head, Wang Lun saw him like this, and said with a smile: "Since I have spoken, I will not regret it, but I don't want money for this 10,000 yuan, all of them will be exchanged for good war horses, I will not deceive you, I buy a horse in Tokyo for 50 yuan, you can ask your family to take 200 good horses in exchange for you!" ”
