After Liu Qi told him like this, Li Zhan's heart gradually calmed down.

For several months, Liu Qifang's trust enabled him to lead the villagers to train, but this time was the first time to take the initiative to attack and fight, in order to take the same place.

Whether he wins or not is not only related to the success or failure of Liu Qi's plan, but also whether he can continue to be recognized by Liu Qi in the future.

Since he saw that Liu Qi had great ambitions and would achieve great things in the future, and after following him, Li Zhan hoped to make more contributions to Liu Qi and seek a future.

Nowadays, the cold mountain is suppressing bandits, and it is just the time to test the results.

The night is getting darker.

In the bandit cottage two miles away, the thief Wang Liang knelt in the main hall building, listening to the trilogy, his brows furrowed from time to time.

Wang Liang is a native of Yinping, Donghai County, with a rugged appearance and a fierce look.

In June, Wang Liang, who was originally in the countryside as a farmer, saw the Yellow Turban Army was huge, so he simply led the villagers, picked up a hoe and a firewood knife, and started an incident together, killed the squire, and attacked the Yinping Guan Temple. In November, they recruited displaced people to gather in Hanshan to rob passing merchants for a living.

It is true that Wang Liang led the crowd to be so "stable" in Hanshan, which has nothing to do with the appeasement of the local clans.

"So, why is it that the county magistrate led the crowd and stayed on the shore for five miles on the water without advancing? Have you ever found out the number of people? ”

Wang Liang's voice was a little sharp, and during the inquiry, his eyes inadvertently swept over a villager behind him.

The bandits, who were in charge of the investigation, hurriedly said: "For the people who came from the east, before dusk, there were about a dozen boats, and after dusk, while it was night, several small boats came, and the distance was not known, but it was less than a hundred. ”

Wang Liang said in a deep voice: "Continue to monitor, you will also go down, prepare for battle, Xu Cheng will stay!" ”

As soon as the village left, Wang Liang took three steps and made two steps, and came to Xu Cheng, who was half a head shorter than him and had a pockmarked face, and said angrily: "Didn't you say that the county official led the crowd and would come to take my pier?"

Why do you have to stay still now, and what tricks are there?

In addition, don't forget that you and other private salts can be smoothly transported from the waterway to Peiguo and other places, but they can be escorted by the people and horses in our village, so that they can be smooth sailing.

If I, Wang Liang, have no problems, hum! ”

Xu Cheng was originally the son of the Xu family, and he has always been responsible for the Xu family and the smuggling of salt everywhere.

As many people in Changxi know, under local corruption, such as in Changshu County, there is already collusion between officials and thieves, which is why the official temple is very rejecting Liu Qi and other newly arrived foreign officials.

Xu Cheng set foot on the Cold Mountain this time to assist and persuade Wang Liang to guard against and try to defeat Liu Qibu who came to crusade.

But unexpectedly, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Liu Qi didn't follow common sense at all, obviously having another precautionary plan.

Threatened by Wang Liang, Xu Cheng's face was calm, not afraid, and said: "Wang Jun is a little restless, that county magistrate Liu, who did not come to attack that day, must have noticed that we had arranged for prevention, he only brought two or three days of dry food, and most of them would come early tomorrow morning."

Wang Jun should be in the process of repairing the embassy and take more precautions.

And in the war of water, can't the king defeat the rabble gathered by the villages?

It is the department led by the county magistrate Liu, and it is just the ministry of the township brave, as if compared with Wang Jun's subordinates? ”

Xu Cheng's words made Wang Liang's heart feel comfortable, he looked away, and the corners of his mouth raised: "What you said is not bad!" Let's see what the county magistrate is capable of! ”

Shaoqing,

After leaving the village, Fang Cai was still talking to Wang Liang, and Xu Cheng was calm and unhurried, and his face instantly became serious.

Looking back at the front and back of the village, the dark mountains, and then looked up at the waning moon, and said to the left and right entourage: "Cited as the head of the thieves in the cold mountain, Wang Liang is conceited and short-sighted, not to what I said yesterday, to prevent the backward side of the village, and all the subordinates will be transferred to the riverbank."

If the county magistrate leads his troops to come from the back and take them by surprise, the bandits in the cold mountains will inevitably be defeated!

How can we be buried with them?

It seems that I, Xu Shicheng, should be replaced by one person to cooperate.

Time is not waiting for me, tonight is there, and for the ghosts of the village by the way, I told the people in the village, if the Hanshan village is broken early, then Wang Liang knows a lot, and he must not stay! ”

"Whoa!"

The night passed.

When the rooster crows.

Liu Qi led the crowd, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright, and continued to approach the mountain road.

In terms of waterways, hearing the crows of pheasants on both sides of the river, Xu also knew that the time was about the same, and decisively led the crowd to slowly approach the river bank controlled by the bandits. Wang Liang was shocked to hear this, and wanted to find Xu Cheng to ask for a plan.

Who knew that Xu Cheng had secretly left from another place yesterday, rowing a small boat, Wang Liang scolded him endlessly, and took the initiative to lead the crowd out of the village, landed on the shore, and made some people board the boat, ready to fight.

When they were above the waterway, they could see their faces, and suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

"When will the county magistrate attack the rear of our department? It's really shameless! ”

Wang Liang had to deal with two enemies.

His bandit department was mainly homeless, but now he saw that the Han army was killing him on the back of the abdomen, and he was terrified, especially after Xu was shot at the bow of the boat, after shooting three people in a row, many bandits saw the opportunity to jump into the water, hoping to survive.

The chaos on the boat soon spread to the bank of the river, and the bandits, who were originally the swordsmen in armor led by Liu Qi in the rear, were defeated and retreated, seeing that the waterway was like this, those who were close to the river bank also abandoned their swords and fled one after another.

Wang Liang screamed angrily, and his heart was even more frightened.

It is really the Han Temple troops that sneaked down from the rear of the cottage, too fierce, with armor, facing their group of people, condescending, changing the terrain, it is a crushing state.

"Xu misunderstands me, I ......" Wang Liang held two knives in his hand, trying to fight against the middle, and he still had something to say.

At the same time, a crossbow arrow was shot from his back.

In the back, it was originally the bandits' department, Wang Liang did not take precautions, and this arrow hit the position of the vest socket, which was very cold.

The thief who shot the arrow, regardless of the outcome, quickly discarded his bow and arrows and fled into the water.

This scene was shocking to see the warring parties.

Then, with the exception of a few, the remaining bandits threw away their swords, or surrendered, or fled, and went from the cottage to the riverbank, and the bandits soon ceased.

"Our department has won a big victory!"

Liu Qi, who led everyone to charge, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"County gentleman, people can't live anymore!"

When Liu Qi led his troops to the side of the dying thief Wang Liang, Li Zhan tested his pulse and shook his head.

Looking at the arrow on Wang Liang's chest that was shining in the morning light, Liu Qi was thoughtful.

He then turned his head and arranged: "Clean up the battlefield, but there are thieves who do not surrender, and they will not be killed."

As for those who flee in the water, they should be pursued by all boats, and it is not easy to go too far! ”

As soon as this order was issued, Xu Case and Wang Wei led the soldiers and quickly went downstream with boats.

When passing by, Yun'an Pavilion Pavilion Changzong Chi glanced at the scene on the dock on the riverbank, especially when he saw Liu Qi standing with a sword, his eyelids couldn't help jumping.

The new county magistrate Chuping Hanshan bandits, that is, won a complete victory, after this battle, the reputation of Yu Changxi will only get higher and higher!

I don't know how many big families in the county will respond?
