After Peng Da Hammer agreed to serve in the army temporarily, Shi Dayong did not doubt him, and still let him lead his brothers, which made Peng Da Hammer and the horse thieves feel at ease.

Among the thirty-nine horse thieves, several people were injured, but they were all flesh wounds, the most serious was Peng Da Hammer, and there were a lot of guns left on his left arm, if he was not cleared in time, the wound would be infected and suppurated, and the weather was cold at this time, if he was not dealt with in time, he was afraid that his left arm would not be saved, and it would become serious, and even die because of it.

Shi Dayong saw that Peng Dazhui was seriously injured, so he ordered someone to go to the town to ask Langzhong to heal him, but Peng Dazhui refused, only asked his nephew Sihai to take a sharp blade, and then pointed to the wound and asked him to dig out the gun directly.

When digging the gun, the blood vultures flowed non-stop, and the sharp blade entered the flesh, and the guns were broken again, and they were extremely widely distributed, and they could not be picked out by one or two. The whole process lasted for half a pillar of incense, and others were uncomfortable to see, but Peng Dazhui turned his face like a person who had nothing to do without shouting.

This situation made Shi Dayong think of Guan Yunchang scraping his bones to cure poison, and secretly praised this horse thief for being a tough guy, and he was not in vain to recruit him.

After the gun was cleared, due to excessive blood loss, Peng Dazhui's face was extremely pale, his body was very weak, and he was crumbling.

After sprinkling the wound with hemostatic gold, Peng Sihai re-bandaged the wound for his uncle, and then picked up the clay bowl that was placed on the ground to catch the bleeding from Uncle Sheng's arm, took out the wine bag and poured some spirits into it.

Peng Da Hammer took the liquor with his own blood and drank it all, wiped his mouth, and motioned to Sihai to help him get on the horse.

Shi Dayong saw that he was too weak and feared that he would not be able to sit firmly on his horse, so he said that he would find a carriage from the town for him to use for the next few days.

Peng Dazhui said: "What is it for the eldest husband to be injured and shed some blood, and he is not a son-in-law who is studying, so he is not so squeamish." ”

Seeing that he insisted on riding a horse, Shi Dayong let him go. The order went down, gathered the horses of the horse thieves, and packed up the weapons and materials abandoned by the Beijing soldiers and brought them back

Peng Dazhui's hometown is in Xiong County, Baoding Prefecture, and half of the families in the county are professional horse households in the imperial court, which can be said to have raised war horses for the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years. Therefore, for military horses, all the horse thieves can be said to be experts. Not to mention anything else, the military horses they rode alone were comparable to the best Mongolian war horses.

This time they went south to Henan, a total of 183 men and horses, except for 11 military horses were killed by mistake in the battle with the Beijing camp and the battle of the wolf cavalry, and four other military horses escaped with the second leader Qi Lao Er, the remaining 168 military horses were all gathered.

In addition, the searching soldiers also found twenty-six war horses of the Beijing camp in the woods and wheat fields, for these "main war horses", Shi Dayong originally wanted to return the Beijing camp, but after looking into the town, he found that those Beijing camp soldiers were still hiding inside and did not dare to come out, he immediately changed his mind and wanted to take away the more than 20 war horses of the Beijing camp with the materials abandoned by the Beijing camp.

How to deal with the eleven dead horses is a difficult problem, Cao Bianjiao suggested burying them directly, Shi Dayong originally wanted to do the same, but seeing that those military horses were fat and strong, he couldn't help but change his mind again, and he was ready to bring the horse meat back for consumption.

Horse meat is not delicious, there will be foam when cooked, and it will emit a foul smell, so except for the plug, few people in the Central Plains like to eat horse meat, and almost smell the smell of horse meat and stay away.

But it doesn't mean that it can't be eaten, horse meat is also meat after all, especially for the Jinzhou army, which has only relied on the grain and grass of the prefectures and counties along the way since the south, these eleven dead horses can obviously provide enough nutrition for the soldiers.

No matter how the local government cooperates, it will not provide too much pork and mutton, and the Jinzhou army has traveled a long distance and has too much physical loss, so it is naturally good to have more meat to replenish physical strength.

With the idea that something is better than nothing, Shi Dayong asked Cao Bianjiao to take someone to dissect the dead horse, throw away the internal organs, unload it into several large pieces, and put the camel back in a bag.

If there is anyone in the world who has the strongest affection for horses, I am afraid that except for cavalry, it is horse breeders. When it comes to dismantling the horse's meat, the wolf cavalry and the horse thieves all have a sense of sadness.

Especially when slaughtering a military horse that has not yet died, I am almost afraid that someone will turn their faces sideways, and they can't bear to look at the painful eyes of the military horse.

After dismembering the horse meat, Shi Dayong had to prepare to lead his troops back. In the town, the people from Jingying came—they were late to the end of the day

"Thank you, General, for the rescue!"

Pei Shaokuan came to thank him hard, because he really didn't want to deal with this "plague god", but people rushed to the rescue overnight, and if he, the rescued person, didn't come to express his gratitude, he would definitely not be able to say it. He bowed to Shi Dayong very politely, but he was thinking in his heart that if you don't come, Lao Tzu will be able to guard these horse thieves and retreat.

"Ben will just do what needs to be done, Master Pei doesn't have to thank me. However, Master Pei's thousands of people were surrounded by a mere hundred and ten horse thieves, and the skills of Lord Pei and the soldiers of the Beijing camp really impressed the general. Shi Dayong sneered, and did not leave Pei Shaokuan with any affection.

When Pei Shaokuan heard this, he was immediately ashamed of himself, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Standing there with an embarrassed face, I don't know what to say. The two thousand households who came with him were also dumbfounded, looking left and right, very embarrassed.

In Xianghe City, Shi Dayong knew the virtues of the soldiers in the Jingying of Lu Dao, and even more knew that Pei Shaokuan, who was also an incompetent person, was a person who ate and waited for death, so what was there to say about such a character.

Now it is not Pei Shaokuan and Jingying who treat Liao Jun and Shi Dayong as "plague gods", but Shi Dayong who treats them as "plague gods", and he can't wait to stay away from them. If it weren't for the march, I am afraid that I would have already made a statement in front of the Son of Heaven and driven this so-called Imperial Forest Army as far away as possible. It's really a bunch of guys who don't have enough success and more than they lose.

"The horse thief has been ambushed, and he will go east to Dengzhou, so he won't delay here any longer, after dawn, Master Pei will clean up the mess by himself."

Shi Dayong deliberately said the word "endgame" very seriously, and Pei Shaokuan's face turned red again when he heard it, and he said carefully: "This is natural, what should I do if I know how to do it." ”

"Well, since Master Pei knows what to do, I won't say anything. Say goodbye! Shi Dayong didn't bother to say anything more, "There will be a period later", and he pulled the mount and wanted to get on the horse.

I didn't want Pei Shaokuan to see that Shi Dayong was about to leave, but he didn't step forward to stop him, and said with a smile on his face: "The lower officials don't know how the general plans to report this work of suppressing bandits to the imperial court?" ”

"Bandits?" Shi Dayong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Pei Shaokuan inexplicably.

Pei Shaokuan was a little embarrassed by him, but thinking of this credit, he still stubbornly said: "The general led his troops to annihilate the horse thieves who were ravaging the place, and he should report to the imperial court Although the officials did not do their best, they also had the ability to contain the horse thieves, so"

Pei Shaokuan really couldn't say the latter words, but Shi Dayong could hear it, and smiled helplessly, he was really disappointed with this Pei Shaokuan, and he didn't expect that this coward would not forget to put gold on his face at this time.

Where did his Pei Daren's soldiers have the ability to contain the horse thieves, it is obvious that the horse thieves have restrained him to death, otherwise why would he have solved all the horse thieves on his side, and there is still not a single soldier in his Beijing camp who dares to come out of the town.

"Master Pei is reasonable, well, this thief is considered Lord Pei's." Shi Dayong said coldly, wanting to see how thick Pei Shaokuan's skin was.

Pei Shaokuan was not so unbearable, and when he heard that the credit should be all his own, he shook his head and said: "How can this make it, the horse thief was obviously eliminated by the general's people, and the lower official just led the troops to contain him, how dare he take the credit of the general." ”

Shi Dayong smiled, put down the reins, and said, "This credit is not for Master Pei, and this will also be conditional." ”

"Conditional?" Pei Shaokuan was not surprised, but rejoiced, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are conditions, everything is easy to say.

Shi Dayong pointed at the Jingying war horse that was led by the Xiangma thief military horse: "Those horses will be taken away, Master Pei won't have an opinion, right?" ”

Pei Shaokuan followed his gesture and looked, and saw that there were indeed more than twenty war horses in his army, he was slightly stunned, and said very cheerfully: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the lower officials have no opinion, absolutely no opinion." Of course he has no opinion, anyway, as long as he reports the credit of the thief, he will give all the military horses to the Liao army, and the above will also supplement him.

Pei Shaokuan is knowledgeable, saving himself from having a lawsuit with Jingying in the future, Shi Dayong is naturally happy to repay the favor, and said with a smile at the moment: "Then the general will congratulate Pei in advance on his meritorious work in commanding the thief!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Pei Shaokuan now only feels that this "plague god" is not so hateful, and it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

Politely, Li Guoheng, the general manager behind him, saw a group of knights riding with the Liao soldiers, but his expression changed, and he quietly pulled him behind.

"Do what?" Pei Shaokuan was talking happily with Shi Dayong, and Leng Buding was dragged by his subordinates, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

In front of Shi Dayong, Li Guoheng couldn't speak outright, so he had to look at the knights and signal Pei Shaokuan to look at himself.

Fuck it, what the hell.

Pei Shaokuan glanced at it angrily, wondering what Li Guoheng wanted to see for himself, but this look was immediately shocked: horse thief?!

Peng Dazhui and a group of horse thieves on the horse saw a group of guys from Beijing staring at him, their expressions were furious, and they couldn't help but be angry, if it wasn't for Shi Dayong there, they were afraid that they would speak ill of each other on the spot.

"General Shi, what's wrong with these horse thieves?" Pei Shaokuan was suspicious in his heart: Could it be that these horse thieves have colluded with the Liao army?

"These horse thieves have been persuaded by Ben General, and now they have been recruited by Ben General, and they will be under Ben General's account in the future, and Ben will intend to give them a chance, so that they can serve the court in the future and no longer do this thing of robbing houses and houses." Shi Dayong explained without being salty or inflammatory.

"It turns out that they have changed their minds and served the court, a good thing, a good thing!" Pei Shaokuan was inconsistent, and secretly scolded Shi Dayong for not being authentic, and even recruited a group of horse thieves into the official army, this horse thief was forced by the situation and had to be recruited, which one would really serve the court, if there was chaos in the future, it would not affect him. But he didn't dare to express his worries, so he could only deal with them with two sentences. The Liao army is strong, what can he do if he doesn't agree.

Shi Dayong didn't want to delay in Qiushui Town any longer, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Pei Shaokuan, so he waved his hand at Cao Bianjiao: "Xiao Cao, let's go!" ”

Pei Shaokuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan sends the general!" I wish the general success in his crusade! ”

Shi Dayong had already gotten on the horse and left, and he didn't turn his head back, and stacked Pei Shaokuan there, full of fire.

The Jinzhou army passed in front of them one by one, and when he saw those military horses, Pei Shaokuan didn't feel much pain, but when he saw that the Liao army had taken away their weapons and equipment, he was immediately anxious and lost more than 20 horses.

But Shi Dayong has already run far, even if he wants to pursue it, it is impossible, how can those high-ranking Liao soldiers pay attention to him. I really want to come forward to stop it, saying that I will leave the things, but I am afraid that it will be boring for myself.

Just watched the Liao army go away, Pei Shaokuan was suffering, and it was really cold at the end, so he moved his toes and went back. On the way, he was thinking about how to report the extermination of the horse thieves today to Lu more beautifully, and then how to add fuel and vinegar to Gao Gonggong to report the Liao army to rob his Beijing camp weapons and equipment.
