There is no problem with what Guo Tianxu said, and Yu Yonghe naturally knows these truths.

But whether it is the court documents or the palace order, there is no time to ask for instructions at the moment, it has taken two days on the road when he came, if it is another minute in the evening, the ghost knows what will happen to Yu Yu's side.

If you can't move it with emotion, then you know it with reason.

Yu Yonghe toasted a glass of wine: "What Lord Guo said is very true, this official also mentioned this matter to the old gentleman, and the old gentleman said that this matter is urgent. There are thieves who want to do wrongs against Xishan Dao and even Yunzhaoguo, and officials from all over the country should cooperate to help. If in the face of a national calamity, everyone only seeks to protect themselves, then it will be a plate of loose sand, and they will be broken by the thieves! These are the old gentleman's original words, and the official sounds very reasonable, so he rashly came to borrow troops! Lord Guo, you and I are both courtiers of the imperial court, and now that some people are vainly trying to challenge the prestige of Yunzhao Guo, we should be duty-bound to serve the country! Moreover, this troop transfer is not a private matter, but in the name of suppressing bandits, and the imperial court will naturally understand our loyalty. ”

Guo Tianxu raised his eyebrows lightly, and said secretly: This Yu Yonghe really has two hits, no wonder he can be promoted to the governor of a state with a single white ding. With these few words alone, it is difficult for others to say so fresh and refined.

The implication is that if you Guo Tianxu do not send troops, you will not be an official of the imperial court, and you will not be a citizen of Yunzhaoguo!

Guo Tianxu's face did not change: "Lord Yu is serious. As for the matter of knowing the tea bureau, the official was also heartbroken when he heard about it, and he hated what those bad people did. However, we will study and study the matter of sending troops in detail later, and it is better to think about it in the long run. ”

Yu Yonghe scolded a mother in his heart, "Think about it in the long run", if Lao Tzu can wait, he will still use it to beg you?

If the soft one doesn't work, then come to the hard one, and if the hard one doesn't work, then lure it with profit.

Yu Yonghe has been working for so many years, and he is still familiar with these things.

"Lord Guo, the situation is urgent. If those thieves take the opportunity to flee to Nansang, it will be difficult to find a trace. When the time comes, the court will blame you, and you and I can't afford to be responsible. If you are worried that there is any doubt about this matter, then you might as well do it. The soldier is seconded by the official, and if something goes wrong, the official bears it alone, if it happens to let the old gentleman say that he won the gang of thieves, this credit still belongs to Ninghai Mansion. ”

Guo Tianxu was a little proud when he heard this.

"Lord Yu, look at what you are talking about. Suppressing bandits for the country is our duty as officials. If there are really thieves hiding in Changqingping, this official is obliged to send troops there, but he is worried about whether the source is reliable or not. When Lord Yu said this, it seemed that the official had a small belly...... Okay, tomorrow I will talk to the government camp, drop the three hundred city defenses and go to Changqingping with the adults. ”

After speaking, he laughed, raised his glass and said, "Come, Lord Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time." How about getting drunk tonight and resting ......"

Yu Yonghe scolded silently, and raised his glass with a bright smile on his face.

The next day, Guo Tianxu transferred 300 city defense infantry as promised.

When he left the city, Guo Tianxu went back to the government on the grounds that the official affairs of the state capital were still busy.

Yu Yonghe took a sip and scolded: Xiong is busy, it's not that he doesn't dare to take this responsibility!

It's a damn bad luck.

There are three hundred city defense soldiers, and the leader is called Chen Lu, a native of Ninghai, and he is a Yamen school.

Chen Lu first met Yu Yonghe and handed over some military affairs. Then the whole team drove towards Changqingping.

On the way, Chen Lu asked about the situation and knew that this time it was mainly to suppress bandits. I was still very strange in my heart, why did I suddenly want to suppress bandits? Or did officials from other places come to suppress bandits locally! But it was really the first time that a big girl had gone on a sedan chair!

As officers and soldiers, they should be like a mountain of military orders. Whatever you want to do, you just have to do it.

With 300 elite soldiers, it is not easy to deal with some mountain bandits and hooligans.

After entering Changqingping, Chen Lu divided the team into three teams, 50 people on the left and right, and 200 people in the squadron, each team was less than two miles apart, and went into the mountains to search for them.

Yu Yonghe followed Chen Lu's brigade together.

The two walked side by side.

Chen Lu said: "Lord Yu, the last general has a question along the way. This...... What kind of bandits are there in this Changqing Ping?"

Yu Yonghe said: "Is there any bandit General Chen who didn't know before?"

Chen Lu said: "I heard it, but the last general is very puzzled!"

"Wondering what?"

"If you want to say whether there are mountain bandits in Ninghai Mansion, I know that there is an organization of Tsing Yi Fang! But this Tsing Yi Fang has been at peace with the court and the people for many years, and I have never heard of them doing anything rebellious...... The state government has always been laissez-faire. Why did you suddenly ...... today?"

"Hmph, you don't care...... The people in Tsing Yi Fang have all gone to the official Dingzhou Mansion to kill people and sell goods!"

Chen Lu was stunned and said, "My lord...... This...... Could it be that they did what happened to Xingzhai?"

The fire of the Tea Bureau has already spread throughout Xishan Road. It's not surprising that Chen Lu can know!

Yu Yonghe glanced around and didn't care about Chen Lu's words.

In the current situation, it doesn't matter who did it, what matters is to find Yu Yu. knows about the Tea Bureau, Zhu Biao who knows the Tea Bureau, Gonggong Qiu, Zhennan Wangfu, and the people he sent over to stand up to the ......

"This is Changqingping?"

"Yes!" Chen Lu looked around, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the spring breeze was pleasant: "More than a hundred years ago, the war between Nansang and my Yunzhao began here to start the final battle, and after the war, the rhododendrons on this mountain bloomed even more red. I heard the old people say that at that time, the earth was dyed reddish-brown with blood, and the blood flowed like a river, and many blood could not be coagulated...... That's why there is a saying that Changqingping is ten miles of blood cuckoos. ”

When Yu Yonghe heard this, he looked at the red and gorgeous cuckoos all over the mountain, and couldn't help but shudder!

Chen Lu didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, when he looked at the red flower again, it was really like blood.

"Report ......" a young general came through the forest.

Chen Lu reined in the horses: "What's the matter!"

"General Qiyu, I just caught two tongues in front!"

"But the mountain bandits?" asked Yu Yonghe.

"It's not ......," the young general shook his head and said, "It's two woodcutters who entered the mountain...... According to them, a few days ago, a group of people did come to the mountains, both men and women, about forty or fifty people. ”

Yu Yonghe said happily: "I can ask the location!"

"The woodcutter said that he should go to the Dogtooth Ridge in the west!"

Chen Lu said: "Okay, pass the order, the left and right teams will gather to cooperate with the forward, and march in the direction of Gouyaling, and the general's brigade will arrive later!"

The little general ordered the order to go.

Yu Yonghe's expression was flying, he was happy, and said that he would be able to rescue Yu Yu immediately, so that he could first avoid the accident of the king of Zhennan, and he might be able to take a head by the way.

After all, the old man also hinted that this group of people might be the ones who burned Xingzhai Station.

The credit for suppressing bandits can be given to Guo Tianxu, and this kind of merit as small as a sesame grain is not needed.

It's a different story to capture the thieves who burned the station. That may be a feat that has been praised by the Eight Nations!

Yu Yonghe is not stupid, how could he give away the fat that was sent to the door for nothing. When the time comes, it's a big deal to give Guo Tianxu a "leftover" for coordinated operations, and you will have it!

Yu Yonghe urged the troops and walked for a while, and Chen Lu suddenly ordered the troops to stop and rest.

Yu Yonghe said suspiciously: "General Chen...... It's still so early, why did it stop all of a sudden?"

Chen Lu said: "Lord Yu doesn't know, this Changqing Ping has a radius of more than 40 miles, and there are more than 20 large and small peaks. If the road is dangerous, it should be the main peak Changqing Mountain. That Dogtooth Ridge is a small hillside, less than 100 zhang high, there is a slanted river after leaving the mountain, and there is no danger to defend, no one will regard this place as a den of thieves!"

Yu Yonghe shouted: "General Chen, you are a person who is familiar with military books, but that group of people is different...... Those people are all outlaws, don't you say that you pay attention to setting up camp, even if you show him a sea fishing document, you can't recognize who killed the head?"

Chen Lu said: "Having said that, it's better to send someone to take a look first! lest the army be exhausted, and when the time comes, the morale will be frustrated!"

Yu Yonghe said: "What is not morale, this official only knows that the thief may be there...... General Chen, send troops quickly!"

Chen Lu said: "Lord Yu, when we go out of the city, we will have words first. You are only the supervisor of the army, and the command is the general! These brothers are all out of the barracks with me, so naturally I will take them back. ”

Yu Yonghe wanted to say more, but saw that Chen Lu had already dismounted from his horse and beckoned a junior colonel to arrange for exploration.

Yu Yonghe felt quite helpless, they were not Dingzhou soldiers after all, and they could completely ignore their orders.

That's it, just wait.

Chen Lu ordered the sergeant to prepare a meal, and when the spies returned, they would continue the march.

He led Yu Yonghe to sit under a pine tree, took a drink, and asked Yu Yonghe to rest first.

After about half an hour, the spies came back quickly.

"General, there are a few thatched huts on Dogtooth Ridge. The subordinates saw that there seemed to be people moving inside. ”

Chen Lu took a bite of dried biscuits with wine: "Can you see how many people there are?"

"There are probably dozens of people, and the forests on the new hillside are sparse, and the subordinates are far away, and they can't be counted. ”

"Okay, let's go eat first. After saying that, I took another bite of the pancake!

Seeing that he was still indifferent, Yu Yonghe said eagerly: "General Chen, this has found out that there are people on the mountain, why don't you move?"

Chen Lu said: "Don't worry, adults. The Dogtooth Ridge is sparsely wooded, and if we had gone at this time, before we reached the bottom of the mountain, the gang would have seen the escape. Now the sun is about to set, and today is the night of the waning moon, so we can sneak up the mountain in the night, so that we can take down the gang of thieves without knowing it......"

Yu Yonghe didn't care about this, he just wanted to save Yu Yu as soon as possible, and immediately shouted: "General Chen...... I'm higher in rank than ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Lu had already stood up and snorted: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." What's more, according to the rules of our dynasty, civil officials cannot control military generals. This is a march to suppress bandits, not a court trial. If Lord Yu thinks that Chen's actions are wrong, I can lead the troops back, and Lord Yu can just dispatch the state government soldiers to come!"
