Yueguan Mountain connects the two major provinces of Tianjin and Beiping, and the caravans come and go one after another, which is also a good place for mountain bandits to block and buy road money.

Zhao Zhenyao, the general of Zhao in Tianjin, has been obsessed with this place for a long time, and he wants to send troops to encircle and suppress this group of mountain bandits, but because the mountain bandits are numerous and powerful, and their connections are also wide, they don't know when they offend them, and they will offend some great people.

Therefore, he did not move, and let the people of those companies and regiments on the edge of the city come forward to solve the problem, so that the good or bad solution could not damage his troops.

It was also like this, after repeated encirclement and suppression on the mountain, but there was no result, but there was no movement in Beiping next door--- and they did not send troops.

Zhao Zhenyao is so generous that it is impossible for him to have no idea about the Beiping next door, how can the mountain bandits in the mountains not be affected by them, why should they make efforts to clean up the situation in Tianjin, they can take advantage of the mountain tiger fight, he said that he is not willing to say anything.

So he General Zhao didn't care, and the two didn't intervene for a long time to let the bandits grow wantonly, but finally Peng Shirong sent a letter to break the deadlock between the two parties, if the Peng family's power is not as strong as the Peng family in Xunyang, but casually invest in them to meet the urgent need for the shortage of materials on hand.

Last time, Zhang Junyao actually deceived him for that ship of military supplies, and even Luo Xiaoqi deceived him, resulting in him still having a hurdle with Zhang Junyao in his heart, and he couldn't cross the sky and the earth, and he couldn't express it at ordinary times, but he was resentful of him in his heart.

But now Peng Shirong's business can't be missed, and the abacus in his heart will be a dozen until Peng Shirong can be regarded as the heir of the Peng family, and he will soon come to take refuge in himself, which means that his golden hand will wave to him in Tianjin.

For the two houses to compete for the Peng family's meat, Zhao Zhenyao's sending troops to rescue Peng Shirong trapped in the cottage is enough for those people in Beiping to envy him. Therefore, this time, he is willing to let go of the mustard with Zhang Junyao in the past few months, and he is also willing to cultivate with him Qin Jinzhi.

Let Zhang Junyao send troops to take the lead in encirclement and suppression, Zhang Junyao led the troops to fight, and he was full of experience, and when he told him about the benefits of Qing Daoming, he could really swear that he would leave this matter to him.

Zhao Zhenyao also participated in this trip, and now the two generals in Tianjin have gathered together to suppress the bandits, which can be regarded as giving enough face to these mountain bandits and Peng Shirong's face.

Just waiting for Zhang Junyao and the surveyors on the side to discuss the terrain in the mountain, and what to do next, Zhao Zhenyao took a pair of binoculars and quietly spied on the situation in the mountain.

As soon as they heard that the warlord led the troops, they didn't know whether it was encirclement or suppression, and their vigilance came, and even several sentries were placed on the mountainside.

"Zhenyao, what you said is true, after encircling and suppressing this group of bandits, you really don't have to worry about war materials and military salaries in the future", Zhang Junyao turned his head and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry", Zhao Zhenyao said confidently, because he has been planning to persuade Zhang Junyao for the past half a year, and buried the resentment in his heart, so Zhang Junyao still trusts him extremely much.

He felt like a courtier next to the monarch, sweetly bewitching the king to become a generation of faint monarchs, so there was nothing more than one of the reasons, that is, to succeed to the throne, or to control the imperial power.

Zhao Zhenyao felt that as long as he wasn't bombed, he would be in the position of a minister.

But in terms of Zhang Junyao's resourcefulness, he is far better than Zhao Zhenyao, but his intelligence is divided into marching and fighting, if he is an emperor or a martial emperor, he can only let him come if he can't govern the government.

Therefore, Zhao Zhenyao was unmoved, and watched Zhang Junyao step by step to coordinate the strategic plan of suppressing bandits.

also waited for him to confidently throw a sentence: "Well, it's almost, just wait for the fish to take the bait", Zhao Zhenyao also trusted him, after all, he led the troops outside the main house, Zhao Zhenyao guarded the city inside, and they all cooperated tacitly with each other inside and outside.

"Tonight the bandits will come down the mountain and attack them at night, as long as they pass through here, we can stand on this high ground and encircle them," Zhang Junyao explained, only to see that they were standing on a high slope, which can be said to be a large 'basin' under the mountain.

Then he said: "According to my observation these days, there are two bandits in charge on this mountain, a man and a woman happen to be a husband and wife who are separated, as long as one moves, the rest will definitely be in a hurry to jump to their feet, and when the time comes, they will be able to fight when they are confused."

。。。。

He also recounted this slope: "We have been unable to capture it several times with our troops, and the lack of troops is one of the reasons, and one of the reasons is the terrain, they stand on a high place and look down at how our soldiers are doing. How many troops should they add? It's all clear at a glance."

。。。。

Zhao Zhenyao didn't speak on the side, but nodded to show his military recognition of Zhang Junyao.

They did the same, and prepared to lie in ambush on a slope for a whole afternoon, and at night, the night sky was washed with only a few sparse stars.

In order to do a good job of ambushing, the two of them had to wait on the side with bated breath, Zhao Zhenyao only felt that his hands and feet were almost numb, leaving only one head still shaking, and he didn't know how to encircle and suppress them at that time

He turned his head to look at Zhang Junyao beside him, his face was covered with a layer of mud for disguise, and only one pair of eyes could be seen in the night.

I only heard Zhang Junyao didn't wait for him to speak, and said frankly: "When we finish this encirclement and suppression, I should also go to war, the counties captured by the war over the years are enough for Rao Shun's stinky boy to proclaim himself commander, you tell me that he just let the emperor of the soil not do it, and go outside to be a guard for others."

Zhao Zhenyao continued to persuade with his kind appearance: "Rao Shun is still young, let him go outside to break through a long experience, and when he comes back, he will be more able to take up your position, I think his mind is not confined to these places you laid for him, he may want to go in a higher direction."

After listening to Zhao Zhenyao's explanation, he couldn't help but make the corners of his mouth curl, and then sighed ashamedly and said, "Alas! My unlucky son, I think he is disobedient, so if he comes back during your absence, you will take care of him for me"?

Zhao Zhenyao nodded, and the chattering and harmonious atmosphere had just risen, only to see Zhang Junyao look at him when he felt wrong, and shouted with a bit of fierceness between his eyebrows: "Here it is", and then he raised a hand, and a few snipers with eyes like eagles

The soldier was the first to reach his instructions with a few sparse starlight spots in the night.

A shot shot down the slope with a gun, at this time there were people shouting and panicking, and the leader suddenly realized that he was in a hurry, and shouted: "It's not good, retreat quickly."

But it was unwilling, Zhang Junyao ordered the surrounding fire to be lit up, and after dark, the lights came to fight.

Zhao Zhenyao stood on the high ground and looked at the group of people underground as if he was looking at ants, only a little dark.

Zhang Junyao also carried a rifle to the gradual illumination below, and fired the gun with confidence, only to see him holding the gun and aiming at people, one by two, three fell one after another.

When the fourth one was hit, the female bandit leader was vigilantly aware of the people on the slope, and she was even more in the mood to run away, waving her hand and shouting again: "Run".

As soon as the words fell, a bullet just passed by a few people and hit her directly, Zhang Junyao was really good marksmanship, and hit the fatal heart impartially.

After receiving a blow, the female bandit clutched her chest and stumbled a few times, and hurriedly said to the subordinates who were helping her: "His father, call his father quickly."

Everyone knows who the 'father' she is talking about is nothing more than Xiao Yueqi's father who the female bandits miss in their hearts, and the bandit leader who made Houshan Banshan the king.

Female bandits are gone, and there are men.

Zhao Zhenyao looked at the few 'deserters' just had the idea of chasing, who knew that Zhang Junyao waved his hand to stop him and said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, they can't escape for long, it's nothing more than to invite the male bandit leader to preside over the overall situation, I don't see any improvement in the back mountain, it is estimated that men are not as good as women, and the rest are easy to deal with."

So they went back and made do all night, waiting for the dawn to rise, and saw Zhang Junyao riding a big horse followed by thousands of elite soldiers with guns, condescending to Zhang Zhenyue and said: "Now the news of the death of the female bandit leader must have spread to their cottage, and now they must not have the ability to stabilize their loose hearts, and the most can hit the time, Brother Zhao, you are behind the mountain pad, I will send someone to attack, and I can always poke them out of a hole with a pole."

Zhao Zhenyao nodded, very much agreed with his method of combining the inside and the outside, and then watched Zhang Junyao go up the mountain, and he took a part of the soldiers to line up and start to pad behind.

Although it was at the bottom of the mountain, it didn't take long to vaguely see the gunshots on the mountain, one after another, almost in time for the fireworks set off in the New Year.

Zhao Zhenyao tilted his head at this time, and suddenly remembered the purpose of their coming, in addition to suppressing the bandits, the most important thing is to rescue their rich man, Peng Shirong, what if the gunshots hit Peng Shirong in the sky, what if the bandits dragged Peng Shirong to die at a critical moment.

Zhang Junyao, a reckless man, is not serious, if they don't care about Peng Shirong's life or death, they will definitely be finished.

Just thinking that he turned this heart horizontally, he pulled the reins and said to the soldiers behind him: "You are all waiting here, I'll go up and have a look."

The soldiers behind him stood up and stomped their feet, shouting in unison: "Yes", well-trained, standing there.

It is worthy of being a soldier trained by Zhang Junyao, suitable for fighting, much stronger than the soldiers he raised outside the city.

Without further comparison, Zhao Zhenyao tightened his legs around the horse's waist, and with a slight whip he rode the horse uphill, and was hurrying to the mountainside, when a man and a horse flew past him, like an arrow, before he could see the person on horseback, he had already rubbed shoulders and disappeared behind him.

When Zhao Zhenyao looked back at the man violently, Zhang Junyao's soldiers caught up, saw him, and hurriedly retreated and explained: "General, the man who ran past just now is the male bandit leader, he is trying to escape, and the commander asked us to catch him."

Zhao Zhenyao didn't wait for a moment, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to prepare to chase, and when he was chasing, he didn't forget to tell the soldiers behind him: "Tell Commander Zhang that you must rescue the eldest young master of the Peng family unscathed."

After speaking, he also drove away on his horse.
