In the face of such generous conditions for appeasement, why can't the Flying Tiger be moved? But the murder he had committed before was too heavy, and the court would never let him go easily. Those who have been the bandit bosses for generations will not end well.

Because the imperial court wants to calm down the anger of the people and make an example of the chickens and monkeys, it will take the ringleader. As the leader of the Flying Tiger Village, the Flying Tiger is well aware of this.

When the bandit crowd heard this, they immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak anymore.

Although they didn't dare to resist, they all sneered in their hearts: It was you, not us, who committed the heinous crime. There is an old saying that the law does not blame the public. The leader of the cottage is dead, and the court will naturally not pursue us minions, we are just accomplices.

Those of us who are minions are forced by the boss to do those bad things.

Even if the imperial court still wants to punish us, it will never be too severe. Moreover, the imperial court has posted a notice to make it clear that the imperial court will not only not pursue it, but will also distribute money and grain.

It's night.

A scream resounded through the valley.

The second and third masters united with dozens of bandits, slashed the Flying Tiger on its bed, and then cut off its head. Although the Flying Tiger has taken precautions, it is helpless to defeat four hands with two fists, and the general trend is inevitable.

……

The next day, the second and third masters walked into Mu Ying's military camp with the heads of the Flying Tigers.

"General Mu, there are two people outside the door asking to see you." Early in the morning, Mu Ying was ordering troops and horses to attack the cottage, shouting to the bandits in the cottage to inspire them to go down the mountain. However, before he could start ordering the generals, he received a report from his soldiers.

"Let them in!" Mu Ying said. Put on the armor and enter the big tent.

"Little Zhao Xiaoguan to meet General Mu!"

"Little Zhang Huan greets General Mu."

"Who are you, and what is the matter with General Ben?" Mu Ying asked.

"I'm here to give a gift to the general." Zhao Xiaoguan said.

"What courtesy?"

"The head of the Flying Tiger Zhai bandit, the head of the Flying Tiger." Zhao Xiaoguan said. After speaking, he opened the white cloth and threw it down. Suddenly, a human head rolled to the ground.

The head of the Flying Tiger!? Mu Ying was shocked when she heard this, and immediately walked over to check, and found that it was indeed the Flying Tiger Tiger, the leader of the Flying Tiger Village!

turned around and looked at Zhao Xiaoguan and Zhang Huan suspiciously: "What are the identities of the two of you, how can you behead the Flying Tiger?" ”

"Tell General Mu." Zhang Huandao, "We are the second and third masters of Flying Tiger Village. After seeing the notice given by the government to go down the mountain, all the members of Feihu Village wanted to go down the mountain and be ordinary people. However, the bandit leader Flying Tiger resolutely refused, and threatened to kill whoever dared to surrender. The two of us couldn't look at it, so we beheaded him and gave it to the general! ”

"General Yumu, all the bad things that the Flying Tiger Village did before were all coerced by the Flying Tiger to do it. We were honest peasants, but we were forced to do it because of the might of the Flying Tigers, and we hoped that the general would punish us lightly. Zhao Xiaoguan said.

"Well done you two!" Mu Ying was overjoyed when she heard this. Originally, they wanted to attack the Flying Tiger Village on a large scale, but they didn't expect that before there was a general, their big boss and the second boss sent their boss's head.

It's bloodless.

The emperor's appeasement strategy is really clever! Mu Ying sighed in her heart: The emperor is indeed a saint of the ages!

"You two rest assured. Ben will not only not punish you, but will reward you. Mu Ying said, "You kill the Flying Tiger is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you are to make contributions to the imperial court." ”

"May I ask General Mu, is what the notice says true?" Zhang Huan still couldn't believe it.

"Since the court has posted a notice, it will strictly follow what the notice says, and will never deceive everyone. The proclamation was issued by the imperial court, so how could the order be changed overnight? Mu Ying said,

"The official notice is the authority of the imperial court, not child's play!"

"Great!" The two were overjoyed.

At the same time, the big stone in my heart finally fell. Taking the boss's head down the mountain to surrender to sincerity, after all, is a great risk. If Mu Ying blames them for being unfaithful, they will fall to the ground.

"Now you two go up the mountain at once, and bring all your men down the mountain." Mu Ying said, "Let your people follow the general's army and go to clean up the landlord's old wealth together." ”

"In addition, the two of you have done a great job. In the future, after the fields are divided, the two of you will be the chief of the village. ”

"Thank you, General Mu!" The two were ecstatic. From now on, they no longer have to live a life of fear, and they no longer have to worry about being suppressed by the government every day. And after surrendering, not only was he not convicted, but he also got a field and became a small official.

It's just a blink of an eye, and the old hen turns into a duck.

"General Mu, then we will leave." The two stood up and said.

"Go and get back."

Soon, Zhao Xiaoguan and Zhang Da left the barracks, almost ran to the cottage, and told the cottage your bandits the great news.

"Someone's coming!" In the barracks, Mu Ying instructed his subordinates, "Hang the head of the Flying Tiger in the city so that everyone can see it, and hang it next to the notice!" ”

"Yes, General." A soldier went out with the Flying Tiger's head twisted.

"The notice is en, the head of the Flying Tiger is mighty!" Mu Ying said, "With such a combination of grace and power, it is difficult to eliminate the bandits." I suppressed bandits for several months before, but there was no progress at all, and many battle-hardened old brothers died, which cost the court a lot of money and food. And now as soon as His Majesty's secret decree arrives, I will take the Flying Tiger Village bloodlessly, and I will save a lot of silver for the imperial court. ”

"Your Majesty, what a god!"

"Flying Tiger Village is just one of the examples, and in other places, there will be many, many like Flying Tiger Village. It is believed that in less than a month, the bandits in the southwest will be completely eliminated, and even if some localities are forced to send troops to recruit and suppress them, this is only an isolated case. ”

"The overall casualties of the soldiers are estimated to be no more than 1,000."

"Righteous Father is really a saint of the ages!"

Two hours later, Zhao Xiaoguan and Zhang Da took more than 90 people from Feihu Village down the mountain and walked into Mu Ying's military camp.

Mu Ying immediately ordered two thousand soldiers and horses, and set off with the bandits of Feihu Village to the largest local landlord's house.

The local rich man Zhao raised more than 100 private soldiers at home, all of them equipped with sophisticated steel knives, bows and arrows. Moreover, the house also built a fortress and watchtower, and the patrol officers stood on the watchtower all the time, which was a veritable head snake.

Even the local county magistrate has to act according to his face.

If you don't know what to do, it will be very difficult to eradicate it. Even if it can be eliminated in the end, it is estimated that there will be many casualties.

However, those people in Qingfeng Village are also local, and they have also fought with Zhao Caizhu, so they are familiar with the local terrain. With them leading the way, things will be much better.

Soon, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers surrounded the Zhao Mansion in secret.
