Chapter XVII: The Great Victory of the Officers and Troops

Daikodai! Yesterday, all the corpses of the officers and soldiers in the battle of Shi's have been loaded into the cart in an orderly manner, due to the hot weather, these corpses all emit a faint smell of corpses, so Li Xingzhi ordered someone to cover the tent, and he took the soldiers of the front battalion to guard the west side of the official road, waiting for the money and food promised by Huang Wenchang to arrive.

Li Xingzhi is not afraid of Huang Wenchang's conspiracy, yesterday's battle, the main force of the official army was lost, and according to the captured officers and soldiers, Huang Wenchang did not have many men and horses under his hands, except for more than 20 family members, the rest of the soldiers and horses who went out this time were either homeless or military households who had never been on the battlefield.

Yongcheng is not far from Dajiaotai, and after an hour, Huang Wenchang arrived at Dajiaotai with a convoy transporting supplies.

When Huang Wenchang saw a group of thieves with knives and guns surrounding a burly young man coming slowly, he knew that this person must be Li Xingzhi, and he didn't need Li Youcai to identify him, turned over and dismounted, and greeted him with his family, and said loudly as he walked: "On the opposite side is Li Xingzhi, who is famous in Gaoyang, and it is really better to meet than to be famous, this time Huang was also forced by Lei Zhibo's dog thief, so he had to do it, and I ask Li Da to forgive me!" ”

Li Xingzhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Huang Wenchang to dare to come in person, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and the people sent so much grain, grass and materials, so he said at the moment: "Huang Shoubei is here, Li is really ashamed!" ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Huang Wenchang turned his head and instructed Li Youcai and Zhang Da to go and handle the handover with Li Xingzhi's subordinates, and then smiled at Li Xingzhi: "Huang is here to make friends with me Gao Yang Yingjie, and secondly, there is a little bit of a trivial matter, and he wants to trouble Leader Li, of course, Huang will not let Leader Li suffer, if this matter is done, Huang will be grateful." ”

Li Xingzhi looked at Huang Wenchang suspiciously, you took the corpse, Lao Tzu got money, food and weapons, and this matter is over, as for whether to fight and embrace the city in the future, it has to be said separately.

Huang Wenchang saw that Li Xingzhi didn't speak, so he said in the future: "Brother Li, Huang was ordered to go on the expedition this time, touched the tiger power of Brother Li, and lost the soldiers not to mention the leader of Lei Zhibo's courtyard, if he goes back like this, Lei Zhibo will be angry, Huang will dismiss the official and take his post, I am afraid that there will be a prison disaster, so I also ask Brother Li to help one or two, if Huang can tide over the difficulties, the brother is willing to offer 3,000 taels of silver, 300 stones of grain and grass, that is, firearms, brothers can also go to Baoding Mansion and transfer some of them." ”

Yang Biao and Wang Zhong, who were following behind Li Xingzhi, were shocked, and looked at Huang Wenchang with hot eyes, as if they were looking at a boy with scattered wealth.

Li Xingzhi was also shocked by Huang Wenchang's handwriting, and his chest beat the sky: "Huang Shoubei rest assured, your business is my business, that is, killing people and setting fires, washing the state and plundering the mansion, my brother can do it for you." ”

Huang Wenchang slandered in his heart, if you really kill people and set fires, wash the state and plunder the mansion, then how can Lao Tzu hide his defeat and win, and do you want the black gauze hat on his head?

At the moment, he said with a smile: "Brother Li, I don't want you to wash the state and plunder the mansion for my brother, I just want you to live in the cottage for a few more days, if the brothers are panicked, you can also get some song and dance prostitutes in Gaoyang, if the brother is willing to make another show with the brother, the brother is willing to give another 2,000 taels of silver, and 200 stones of grain and grass." ”

"Brother Huang, if you have something to order, as long as my brother can do it, I will definitely do it for you!" Li Xingzhi assured that he would have completely fallen under Huang Wenchang's sugar-coated cannonball, and began to call Huang Wenchang a brother.

Wang Zhong and Yang Biao couldn't help but regret it in their hearts, if they knew that being a thief would make so much money, our brothers would have fallen into the grass a long time ago, who the hell would be willing to extort money on the street!

Huang Wenchang looked left and right, and said: "Brother Li, Brother Wei wants to ask you one thing this time, that is, bring a military horse and fight two battles with Brother Wei in the area of Dajiaotai, that momentum is better to make it bigger, if Brother Li can be defeated by Huang's knife, it will be better, if the brother refuses to lose his reputation, then forget it." ”

Li Xingzhi understood, no wonder Huang Wenchang was going to come in person, it turned out that he was trying to cover up the defeat and turn the victory into victory, and asked these corpses to go back, I am afraid that he wanted to falsely report his military exploits, but he still had some doubts, Huang Wenchang wanted to fight with himself, judging from the iron knife in his hand, the force of this guy should not be weak, even if he made a move, he might not be able to win.

Huang Wenchang saw Li Xingzhi aiming at his Qinglong Yanyue Knife, knowing what it meant, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, this big knife for brother is just bluffing, it is really wooden, and it is just covered with a layer of iron sheet. ”

"It's done!"

"It's done! Let's do it."

Without waiting for Li Xingzhi to speak, Wang Zhong and Yang Biao responded in unison.

Six thousand taels of silver, five hundred stones of grain and grass, and the firearms promised by Huang Wenchang, in the face of huge temptation, how could Li Xingzhi care about his reputation, and besides, reputation can be worth a few dollars, the key is to have these firearms, and when the Jiannu soldiers come to Gaoyang, he can also rely on something.

Huang Wenchang is also very happy, the grain and herbs are not his, although the silver cost three thousand taels, but this battle is won, and the silver and reward that I want to come to the court will only add up to more, not less, I can't say that I can still be promoted to the next level, get a guerrilla cadre, get both silver and reputation, where can I find such a good thing in the world.

Therefore, from the afternoon of that day, the area around Dajiaotai was full of golden drums, the sound of guns and cannons was endless, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were even higher and higher, and the sound of such fighting lasted for three consecutive days.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, the garrison master of Gaoyang, carrying a bloody broadsword, shouted to his soldiers to push several carts full of human heads, and returned to Gaoyang City with great satisfaction.

"The official army won a great victory, and the battle of Dajiaotai broke two thousand thieves and beheaded three hundred!"

"Huang Shoubei was brave and invincible, killed several big Kou, and Li was seriously injured and fled!"

One herald after another shouted and rode into the city gate, heading straight for Gaoyang County.

Gaoyang County Ya, since receiving Huang Wenchang's battle report three days ago, Lei Zhibo is upset, this Lei Chuang is also his nephew, although out of the five suits, but has always been loyal to himself, he let him go on the expedition also has the intention of cultivating him, who would have thought that as soon as he went into battle, he would die at the hands of thieves, although Huang Wenchang said that he wanted to fight to the death with thieves, this soldier is fierce and dangerous, if he loses the battle, this Gao Yang is not dangerous.

"County honor, county honor!" At this time, the voice of Master Zhang Mingda came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Lei Zhibo's heart tightened, since Huang Wenchang set out on the expedition, he asked Zhang Mingda to inquire about the news, this will be Zhang Mingda's coming, thinking that it is the battle report of the front line.

Zhang Mingda pushed the door in, bowed and saluted: "County Zun, our army won a great victory in the battle of Dajiaotai, Huang Garrison broke two thousand thieves, beheaded three hundred, the thieves collapsed, Li was seriously injured and fled, now Huang Garrison left Zhang Baihu to garrison the city, continue to clean up the thieves, I have returned to the county with this capture!" After that, he looked at Lei Zhibo with a happy face.
