Chapter 797: Fat Bait

Song Nan understood everyone's thoughts, these people were tossed too badly by the bandits, and they didn't have the slightest contempt for the bandits, and when they heard themselves say such things, they didn't want to believe it. ", ∽.23∷x.c▼om Song Nan didn't care, only smiled: "Since you are willing to listen to my command, then I will talk about this method of suppressing bandits." ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "Listen to me." ”

Song Nan got up and walked a few steps and said, "Ask a question, what bad things do the bandits do on weekdays?" ”

Wang Shouren said: "This gang of bandits is rampant in the countryside on weekdays. Robbery of property, murder and goods, all kinds of evil, not only the villages and towns near Sanbo Mountain are often harassed by them, but also the county seat of Anyuan and Changning County are also turned upside down by them. At the end of last year, in order to retaliate against the bandits, these people attacked the county seat of Anyuan at night and burned down hundreds of houses, and their arrogance was extremely arrogant. Even when leaving, he threatened that we should not be allowed to enter the army again, otherwise we would redouble our revenge. ”

Song Nan nodded slowly and said, "It's really arrogant." ”

Wang Shouren said: "The lower officials are very angry, how can my officers and soldiers be coerced by bandits? As a result, 800 additional troops were stationed in Anyuan and Changning counties, and they seemed to know that the two counties had increased their officers and soldiers, but they had been lurking for more than a month, and there was no movement. In the past, it had to be dispatched several times in a month, but this time it has been a long time since it disappeared. ”

Song Nan smiled: "The bandits are also going to celebrate the New Year." Looks like these guys are celebrating the New Year. But bandits are bandits after all, they live by looting and looting, if they don't move, can't they reclaim the land in the mountains and grow crops? Lord Wang said that they had not been dispatched for more than a month, which was a good thing, and he could use this opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Wang Shouren frowned and said, "What does Grandpa Guo mean...... Luring the snake out of the hole? ”

Song Nan nodded slightly and said, "Lord Wang is extremely intelligent, and he guessed the key point at once. ”

Wang Shouren frowned and muttered: "This method is wonderful, but don't forget, Zhenguo Gong, these bandits will not starve to death in the mountains, where do their firearms and horses come from?" If you can give them these things, will you not give them food and meat to feed them? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "A thief is a thief, no matter how much you stuff your pockets, you still have to covet other people's belongings when you see them, as long as the bait is big enough." Keep it a secret, you said before that the bandits seemed to have unpredictable prophets or clairvoyance, and that was a joke, and it was evident that someone had told them a message; But wherever bandits are rampant and repeatedly prohibited, it is either the collusion of bandits or the official bandits, so in order to prevent the leakage of news, I am afraid that I will offend you. ”

The generals were shocked, not knowing what Song Nan was going to do, Song Nan smiled and said: "You don't need to panic, this is a normal measure, you can also prove your innocence, everyone attending the meeting today needs to live in the yamen and are not allowed to go home, Lord Wang, you send someone to send a letter to their home, and say that the generals are busy with official business and can't leave, so that the people in their mansion can also relax." ”

Wang Shouren said in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo, this ...... There's no need, the lower officials have already been selected, and none of these people have anything to do with that person. ”

Song Nan said: "It's better to be careful, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is too serious, we are not only here to suppress bandits, but Lord Wang should be very clear about the things behind." As soon as this incident passed, Song personally apologized to you. ”

Wang Mian was stunned and said: "We naturally have to obey the orders of Grandpa Guo, as Grandpa Guo said, this is also a move to prove my innocence, but I can't go back to mobilize troops and horses, so how can I help exterminate the bandits?" ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "I have the manpower, I brought five hundred men and horses, this is enough, you only need to follow me to watch the battle." ”

"Five hundred brocade guards can be wiped out?" The generals were stunned and disbelieving.

Song Nan said: "Look, the soldiers are not expensive, but you have a lot of men and horses, so what?" To deal with bandits, IQ suppression is much more useful than brute force. You are resting here, please Lord Wang to arrange a place for you to live, this yamen inside and outside my brocade guard has taken over, I said ugly words in the head, if anyone dares to go out of the yamen without permission half a step, or spread half a word, I will regard him as a bandit. Don't challenge my orders, those who follow me know that I don't have any personal feelings against them. ”

Everyone listened to Song Nan's words, and the prestige of the young grandfather in front of them was in their ears, and the aura of the superior on his body was terrifying, so they didn't dare to say more than half a word. But everyone was actually relieved in their hearts, since Grandpa Guo was confident and didn't need to rely on everyone's assistance to transfer troops, if he returned this time, he wouldn't blame everyone, and he would not be impatient and wait for things to unfold.

The generals had no choice but to stay overnight in the governor's yamen, and early the next morning, they were woken up and told everyone to hurry up and prepare for breakfast. At the end of the day, a large number of Jinyi guards gathered in front of the yamen, Song Nan took the generals out of the house, and led five hundred Jinyi guards out of the south gate of Ganzhou City with Wang Shouren and went straight to the southeast.

Ganzhou terrain is southern, although it is the first month, but the temperature is not low, the climate is very pleasant, there are flowers on both sides of the road, bees and butterflies and other insects can often be seen, Song Nan asked the scenery along the way to point out the beautiful scenery, seemed to be full of interest, never mentioned the matter of suppressing bandits; Wang Shouren naturally knew that Song Nan didn't want to reveal his plan, so he also calmed down and accompanied Song Nan to talk about it, but he was also at ease.

At the end of the afternoon, the group finally came to the territory of Anyuan County, far away on the other side of the horizon, you can see a green mountain stretching and undulating in the southeast, Wang Shouren told Song Nan that it is Sanbo Mountain, where the bandits are entrenched.

Song Nan ordered to stop advancing, took out a map to figure out the situation of Sanbo Mountain in Anyuan, as well as the villages and avenues on the side of the mountain, and said to Wang Shouren: "We are not going into the county seat, please ask Lord Wang to go into the city to do something for me." ”

Wang Shouren said: "Grandpa Guo commands." ”

Song Nan whispered in Wang Shouren's ear for a while, Wang Shouren couldn't stop nodding, and then Song Nan found a place to camp and rest in the woods, and Wang Shouren took more than 50 guards to Anyuan County; The generals of Gannan who followed did not know what to do, so they could only follow Song Nan to rest in the woods, and Song Nan also took care of their feelings, took out wine and meat to eat and drink with everyone around the bonfire, and told them about the situation of fighting with the Tartars in the northwest.

In the middle of the night, the sound of cars and horses sparkling into the ears, mixed with the cries of livestock, everyone was awakened, out of the forest to look, but saw that the convoy composed of more than 20 carts was parked at the edge of the woods, Song Nan and Wang Shouren stood aside and talked, those carts were full of boxes and cloth bags, full of 20 carts of goods.

Some of the generals still didn't quite understand what was going on, and Wang Mian explained to them in a low voice: "This is Zhen Guogong's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, and Zhen Guogong wants to lure the bandits down the mountain." ”

Ma Jiuping, the prefect of Ganzhou, hesitated and said: "I'm afraid this method won't work, how can the bandits be so stupid?" No one dared to escort the goods to pass by, and suddenly a convoy passed by, how could they be fooled? Even if they want to do it, they must first look around, and once they know that we have soldiers and horses ambushing near us, they will not do it. ”

"That's not what we are considering, Zhenguo Gong is full of confidence, and I will only look at it with my eyes." Someone said sourly, until now he still didn't trust Song Nan, and took them under semi-house arrest with him.

Before dawn, this convoy disappeared into the night with a gurgling grunt, and when they got up in the morning, everyone was surprised to see that there were more than 150 people missing from the 500 brocade guards, needless to say, more than 100 people must be used as the drivers of the escort convoy, and now these people are even more disapproving, and the convoy escorted by more than 100 personal guards, the bandits will not go out to loot, isn't this to scare them? Who would go out to plunder in front of one hundred and fifty officers and soldiers? Obviously useless work.

Song Nan didn't leave with the convoy, got up early and washed up and dressed neatly, greeted everyone warmly, everyone responded with some reluctance, Song Nan smiled and said: "Everyone, hurry up, we have to hurry up when we fight with the bandits, from now on, we have to hide our bodies, and we have to follow the convoy to move, everyone, the convoy is almost on the road on the side of the mountain." ”

Everyone quickly solved the breakfast and put on the road, this time no longer take the official road, but spread along the grassy slopes and fields, and hide in the grass to rest and look for a while, the horses are not allowed to ride, the generals are exhausted one by one tossing on the wet fields and hillsides, and there is no movement at the foot of the mountain, everyone does not say anything, but the impression of Song Nan in their hearts is greatly discounted, this famous Zhenguo Gong is simply nonsense, what kind of bandit is this?

……

On the road on the side of Sanbo Mountain, more than 30 personal guards cavalry escorted a large convoy driven by more than 40 people dressed as people from west to east, and a short black-faced officer in the lead seemed to be in a hurry, constantly looking up the mountain, while waving the horse whip in his hand to urge the speed of the chariot. It's a pity that the mules and oxen pulling the cart move slowly, and no matter how they shout, they are always so slow, and the angry officer curses repeatedly.

On a dirt slope on the side of the mountain that they couldn't see, where the convoy passed, there was always a big tree that had been standing straight and upright quietly, and between the dense forests on the hillside, the scurrying and jumping figures were also silently following the convoy.

At the top of a mountain cliff, more than a dozen figures stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down, and a man lying in the middle was wrapped in a black cloth with his head, his face was pitted and a fierce face was born like a fierce and vicious face, and with a sarcastic smile on his face, he stared at the convoy passing by on the road down the mountain.

A person beside him had slender eyebrows, and was actually wearing a long shirt, and whispered in Mapi's ear: "Brother Yang, these people are bold enough, there has not been a trip in and out of this road for more than half a year, and they dare to pass by here, this matter is very strange." ”

Another round-faced man with angry eyebrows said angrily on the side: "Strange chicken. Ba Mao, tell the brothers to rush down and grab it, how can the fat in the mouth fly? Look at the boxes and bags on the car, they must be good things, and they are escorted by officers and soldiers, I guess they are officers and soldiers. The tax on the money shipped to the state capital, that must not be a few. ”

The pock-faced man snorted coldly and said: "Brother Li, don't be impulsive, Brother Wang Ru is right, no one in our Sanbo Mountain has dared to pass by for half a year, and it must be strange for such a convoy to suddenly appear, it is better to be careful, and not to fall for the evil of officers and soldiers." ”

The round-faced man named Li Fu is the second leader of Sanbo Mountain, and when he heard this, Wang Ru, who had white eyebrows and fine eyes, said: "Fart, he is just timid, like a dog-headed military advisor all day long, what are our brothers afraid of them?" We dare to attack the county seat, and we still care about the dozens of officers and soldiers in this district? ”

Wang Ru lowered his face and said: "Li Fu, be careful, what did the prince tell us when he went to the capital last year?" He is not in Nanchang, and he wants us to be more restrained, lest someone take advantage of his absence to exterminate us, and the prince will not be able to pass on the news to us, and it will be difficult to do it then, why don't you think about the consequences? ”

Li Fu said angrily: "Lord Wang, you also said that the prince farted a fart, didn't the prince just want us to sell his life to him in the future?" In the past six months, food has been sent to us three times, Lao Tzu has not eaten meat for more than a month, who can stand eating white rice every day? Even if it's to grab some silver and let the brothers go to the county town to open meat and play bitch, it's good, the brothers are holding back one night after another, and if they go on like this, I'm afraid they will interfere with each other. Eyes. ”

Wang Ru frowned in disgust, and the numb-faced man Yang Qing said angrily: "What did you say, is life more important or is it important to make women eat meat?" If it weren't for the prince's care, our little people would have been wiped out a long time ago, and your and my heads would have been hung on the gate of Ganzhou City, and you will not be allowed to say such nonsense in the future. If these words reach the ears of the prince, you will die, and you will affect us and so on. ”

Li Fu seemed to be very afraid of this Yang Qing, and smacked his lips and said: "It's okay, I don't say it, I can't rob it, what are we going to do?" Just go back to sleep. ”

Yang Qing nodded and said, "Okay, tell the brothers to withdraw to the mountain, whether it is a trick of the officers and soldiers, we don't have to worry about them." ”

A few people got up and were about to go down the cliff to go back to the cottage in the mountain, just got up, they heard a neighing on the road down the mountain, the three turned their heads to look, only to see an old horse pulling a cart in the middle of the convoy seemed to be frightened, sparsely jumping around, the two coachmen could not suppress it, the horse jumped up how high the cage on the cart was pulling overturned a few on the ground. As soon as the cage hit the ground, it suddenly cracked open, and a piece of thing rolling thick white flowers from inside shimmered in the sunlight.

The officers and men escorting the cart shouted loudly, and all the coachmen hurriedly stepped forward to help pick it up, put all the scattered things into boxes and loaded them onto the cart, and the frightened horses also recovered, and the convoy restarted and moved forward.

The three people who witnessed this scene on the cliff looked at each other with their mouths wide open, and the scattered things were all too familiar, even from such a distance on the hillside, they could see that it was an ingot of silver.

The chests of these carriages are all fucking silver! This time, I couldn't move half a step back to the cottage.
