Zhao Han's marching route is only the remnants of Wugong Mountain.

After crossing the ridge at the beginning, all that remains is relatively flat hills or valleys. Only when you go out of the mountain, you have to cross a ridge, and the snow is not so thick at this time.

"General, in front of the Wannian Bridge, Yan Ge was built by the old Yange, and after the Wannian Bridge, it is the county seat...... Can you, can you let the late students go home......"

The person who spoke was the poor scholar who Zhao Han forcibly invited to lead the way before he left the mountain.

Jiangxi is really amazing, there are people reading in the mountains. Xiao Shizhong, the champion of Yongle in the ninth year, came from the mountains, which belonged to Fei Yinghui's territory at this time, and it was a very remote place in his territory.

Zhao Han stood at the foot of the mountain and looked out, the bridge and the county seat were faintly visible, and he couldn't help asking: "You are talking about Yan Ge Lao, but Yan Song?" ”

The poor scholar said: "Although Yan Ge is a traitor, he has an excellent reputation in his hometown, and he has done many great things that benefit the township. ”

Taking advantage of the rest of the soldiers, Zhao Han asked again: "Yuanzhou Governor Tian Younian, how is this person in politics?" ”

The poor scholar complained: "The prefect of Tian can do things, and it is inevitable that he will disturb the people when he does things." He recruited troops to suppress ...... To suppress the rebel army, the people of the whole province have to apportion, and my family spread an extra three buckets of rice last year. He also likes to make bows and arrows, and I heard that they were sent to the capital to be presented to the emperor, and the materials for this bow and arrow also had to be apportioned. Five miles to apportionment a cow tendon, how can the people in the mountains be willing to kill the cow, isn't it a matter of making money? I heard that the fishermen of Yuanjiang had to pay extra money for their swim bladders, but they were taken advantage of by the soap officials, and many fishermen fled. I heard that the rebels in Pingxiang County were forced to rebel by the prefect. ”

That's where it gets interesting.

When Tian Younian heard that the Tartars were besieging the Jingshi, he immediately recruited craftsmen to make bows and arrows, and then sent them all the way to the capital.

seems to be loyal and patriotic, but it forced the people to rebel. He took the opportunity to train the army again, suppressed the anti-thieves, and really trained him an elite army, but the life of the common people was even more difficult.

Zhao Han asked the quartermaster to bring a piece of broken silver, personally handed it to the gentleman and said: "Seeing that it is about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, you take the silver and go back to live for the New Year, don't run to the Yuanzhou Mansion to report to the official." ”

The poor scholar was stunned when he took the silver, he thought that he would be killed by the thief, but he didn't expect that there was still a reward to receive.

This guy was very grateful, and went home over the mountain with the silver.

After going up the mountain, he watched the thieves crossing the bridge from afar, and suddenly began to get entangled, should he go to Fucheng to report the news?

After weighing it repeatedly for a long time, the poor man turned around and went home.

On this cold day, why did you go so far to Fucheng? The prefect has no kindness to him, but approches a lot every year, and if the thieves are allowed to capture the city, a different prefect may be able to live better.

In fact, Zhao Han was not afraid of him reporting the news.

It's almost the New Year, and the army in Tian Younian's hands will definitely be sent home. Zhao Han just wants Tian Younian to gather troops, otherwise how can he eliminate those elite officers and soldiers?

Because of the terrain, Zhao Han could not surprise the city, so he could only take the county seat of Fenyi first, and his whereabouts could not be concealed.

At this moment, Zhao Han is crossing the bridge, the Wannian Bridge built by Yan Song and Yan Shifan father and son.

The bridge spans the Yuan River, with a total length of nearly 400 meters and a width of nearly 8 meters, with a total of 11 bridge holes. The big project cost more than 20,000 taels of silver that year.

A few hundred years later, the bridge, along with the county seat, was completely submerged because of the construction of the Jiangkou Reservoir.

Today's Fenyi county is on the edge of the Yuan River, and the east gate of the county is after the Wannian Bridge.

"Full speed march!"

Thousands of soldiers ran towards the bridge, and from time to time someone fell in the snow.

Until they ran to the bridge, they didn't react inside and outside the city, and most of the people were at home for the New Year-it was already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

It was the guards of the city, because of the cold weather, they also hid in the city tower to warm up, and no one wanted to stand on the city wall to blow the wind.

On the contrary, it was the people at the wharf outside the city, and some people noticed that something was wrong, looked at it for a moment, and said in great confusion: "Is this an officer or a thief?" ”

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

With all the weapons, it seems that they are not anti-thieves, but the officers and soldiers are also terrifying, no different from anti-thieves.

Whether it was a peddler or a businessman from other places, there was a mess on the wharf, shouting "the officers and soldiers are coming" and fleeing in panic.

The guards of the city were confused, and the New Year was coming soon, where did the officers and soldiers come from?

These guys came out to look, and in a daze, some soldiers exclaimed: "It's a thief, a thief has come out of the mountain!" ”

"Close the gates, close the gates!"

On the more than 300-meter-long bridge, Zhao Han has already led most of the troops to run.

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Avenge King Li!" ”

The thief leader of Pingxiang County, who was exterminated by Tian Younian, was called "Tota Heavenly King" and was also called "Li Tianwang".

When a few merchants heard the shouting, they immediately took a boat and ran away, most of them going to Fucheng to report the news.

And Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, received the military information must be: Although Li Tianwang, the leader of the Pingxiang thieves, died, his subordinates who fled into the mountains were killed!

Huang Qi rushed so fast, moving a pair of long legs, as if he was flying on the snow. followed by Zhang Tieniu, who followed closely with a plate axe, and had arrived outside the east gate in a blink of an eye.

The two of them threw the other soldiers out hundreds of meters away.

"Don't enter the city, quickly retreat!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

"Stand back, stand back!"

“……”

But it was the merchants and people outside the city, afraid of being slaughtered by the thieves, who felt that the county seat was safer, and rushed to the city.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were closing the city gates, and they were so rushed by the merchants and civilians that they couldn't operate normally at all. In a fit of anxiety, the officers and soldiers slashed with their knives, killing several people one after another, but the people behind continued to squeeze in.

"Run!"

Seeing that the city could not be closed, the officers and soldiers simply turned around and fled, and the people were not stopped by the officers and soldiers, and they also poured into the city in one go.

When Huang Qi arrived, the city gate was already wide open, and it was half closed, but it was pushed open by the people.

"Grab the door, don't rush again!"

After Huang Mi entered the city, he immediately guarded the door.

Zhang Tieniu still wanted to continue to rush and kill, but was stopped by Huang Qishengsheng, and the two occupied the east gate.

Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe led the troops to kill and immediately assigned tasks.

Fei Ruhe led 2,000 soldiers to seize several other city gates; Huang Mi and Huang Shun led 1,000 soldiers and were responsible for maintaining law and order in the city; Zhao Han personally led a thousand soldiers to capture the county government.

The magistrate and the master were drinking in the backyard of the county government, roasting a small red clay stove, and composing poems against the warm wine there.

On a cold day, it is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, and it is the time to enjoy it.

"County ...... County county county respect, anti-thieves have entered the city! ”

"What?"

The first reaction of the magistrate and the master was not to gather the officers and soldiers and the officials, but to flee to their residences, holding the silver and trying to slip through the back door.

It's a pity that the back door is also surrounded by anti-thieves, and the magistrate and the master can only climb over the wall.

"The official is here!"

Wu Yong led a team of ten people, and happened to see the magistrate, the master, and the house slaves, who were setting up stools under the wall and preparing to turn them out.

The magistrate is also a person who wants money and doesn't want to die, carrying nearly two thousand taels of silver, weighing hundreds of catties. He was carried from the back door of his residence to the garden wall, but when he failed, he was carried to the garden wall through the back door. At this moment, he was sitting on the wall, and asked the house slaves to carry the silver.

"The thief is coming!"

Several of the house slaves were so frightened that they gave up the wooden boxes containing the silver, and the silver fell and scattered all over the ground.

The magistrate screamed: "My silver...... Alas! ”

In a panic, the house slaves directly grabbed the leg of the magistrate and desperately climbed to the wall. They climbed up, but dragged down the magistrate who was sitting on the wall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the master didn't dare to keep the silver anymore, so he only jumped off the wall with a few dozen taels and slipped away.

Wu Yong led his troops to rush to the wall, pointed a gun at the magistrate, and shouted excitedly: "I have caught the big official again!" ”

……

Speaking of Chengnan County School, there is not a single student in the school, and they have already gone home for the New Year.

When the county school teacher heard that the thieves had entered the city, he immediately took out a long sword, a crossbow, and a pot of arrows. He wound his crossbow as he walked, gathered the school's teachers and handymen, and gathered more than a dozen people to stay in the school.

A scripture teacher trembled: "The thief won't come to the county to learn, right?" ”

"I'm sure I'm going to the county office." Another scripture teacher said.

The priest told the handyman to carry the ladder, and he climbed the fence to observe the situation. After waiting for a while, I saw a team of anti-thieves, who were chasing and killing the people, and rushed towards the county school.

The priest was indignant, aimed his crossbow at the thief, and pulled the trigger very calmly.

"Ugh...... There are archers, dodge quickly! ”

Huang Shun was a little confused at the moment, he was leading people to hunt down the looters who took advantage of the chaos, and suddenly, he was inexplicably hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

After reluctantly hiding under the pillar under the eaves of the bookstore, Huang Shun carefully recalled the situation just now. He looked at the county school across the street and immediately shouted: "There are people shooting arrows in the school, rush in and arrest people!" ”

Seeing the thieves rushing towards the gate of the county school, the priest immediately ran back and said to the scripture teacher and the miscellaneous servants: "Escape! ”

The scribes and miscellaneous servants are resentful in their hearts, and the thieves are all attracted by the teachings, so isn't it good to hide in the school honestly?

These guys ran to the back door, only to hear a bang, but the main entrance of the school was slammed open.

"Grab them all, I want to live!"

Huang Shun was angry, but also a little excited, he knew that Zhao Han wanted to form a long-range army.

broke in from the main gate of the county school, and the people inside ran away, so they chased after it and chased half the street from the back door.

Since every house was closed, the priests, scribes, and miscellaneous servants could not hide in the houses, but could only slip down the streets into the alleys.

The handymen ran fast, but the teachers lacked training and were chased closer and closer by a group of thieves.

"Ugh!"

One of the scribes fell to the ground, and the other scribes ignored them and fled with all their strength.

The Priest had already run to the front, but when he heard the situation, he suddenly turned around and shot another arrow.

"Ahh

This time he shot well and hit one of his pursuers in the chest. Fortunately, wearing a thick cotton coat offset most of the strength, otherwise he would have died on the spot.

"Raise your shield and pursue!"

Huang Shun hurriedly shouted.

The rattan players under Zhao Han have long stopped using pot lids, and now they are all wooden shields.

With the exception of the teachings, all the scribes were caught.

Huang Shun pulled out the arrow in pain, he was also wearing a cotton coat, the arrow was not deep in the flesh, but it was still piercing the bone. The cargo led the soldiers to speed up the pursuit, and in the blink of an eye, followed the teachings into the alley, and then chased them away.

"Total, there are footprints on the ground!" A captain reminded.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, there are few pedestrians in this kind of alley. Although there were many footprints in the snow, there were only a few new ones.

Huang Shun sneered: "The rattan player is in front, raising a shield to protect his teammates." ”

The edict was hidden in the debris pile at the end of the alley, and when he saw the thieves coming around, he knew that he could not be spared, so he simply took another cold shot.

"Ahh

This time it was an arrow in the thigh, because the upper body was protected by a shield.

"Rush up, don't let him wind up, remember to catch it alive!" Huang Shun shouted.

Zhao Han had already occupied the county office, the master had run away and was being pursued, and the county magistrate was trembling and kneeling in front of him.

Huang Shun trotted over and said happily: "Zongzhen, what do you think this is?" ”

Zhao Han took the bow and crossbow and glanced at Huang Shun's shoulder: "Go to the doctor to bandage it, don't delay the injury." ”

The priest and several scripture teachers were brought to Zhao Han, and the scribes were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. But the priest did not kneel, and it was useless to be pressed by the soldiers, and finally he was pressed to the ground.

"Forget it, let him stand up." Zhao Han waved his hand and said.

The Sect Standing Tall, looking at Zhao Han with contemptuous eyes, it seemed that he didn't bother to say a word.

"What's your name? Where did this crossbow come from? Zhao Han asked.

The teachings were still silent.

The scripture teacher next to him said: "General Rongyu, this person's name is Song Yingxing, the word Chang Geng, and he is the teacher (principal) of Fenyi County School." ”

"Song Yingxing?" Zhao Han smiled strangely.
