The 14th Battalion of Wang Qing's Thief Army was stationed outside Luzhou City and belonged to the 3rd Small Army.

Wang Qing's army was modeled after the Song system, with 100 men as a capital, 500 as a battalion, the battalion was also called the command, and 2,500 men as a small army.

The supreme governor of the capital is the head of the capital.

The highest commander of the battalion is called the battalion commander, also known as the army commander.

The highest commander of the small army is called the commander of the military capital.

The Third Small Army had five battalions, the eleventh to the fifteenth.

Most of the soldiers under this third small army are veterans, there are bandits and homeless people, they have fought a lot, and they are also the most ruthless in looting.

However, these people were fine on the battlefield, but once they were stationed, they were in a mess, and no one was convinced by the battalion commander's words, and they couldn't suppress the soldiers below at all.

The leader of the third small army is called Pan Zhong, born in the green forest, has some martial arts, is good at using a big knife to open the mountain, is greedy for a cup of good wine on weekdays, and would rather hide in the camp to drink and have fun than take care of the military below.

In the entire third small army, he is a little prestigious, and the battalion commander and the head of the capital can't share the burden with him, so he simply lets it go, as long as he can go to the battlefield, everything else is arbitrary.

The five battalions below are all good at making money, fighting is the weakest among the veterans, and making money is the strongest among all the thief armies, and they are very famous under Wang Qing.

Zhao Ta led his 2,000 men out of the city and went straight to the Third Army, which was stationed in the north of the city, and the five battalions were arranged side by side.

Yu Shunshui led the way in front at this moment, pointed to one of the camps and said, "General, there is the fourteenth battalion!" ”

Zhao Tan squinted at the camp, but there was no one standing guard in front of the door, and he heard the noise inside from a distance.

Yu Shunshui said: "General, there is no one in front of the door, either eating or gambling inside, now you must catch it when you go in!" ”

Zhao Ta glanced at the soldiers behind him, all of them were eager to try, and their eyes were a little red.

He smiled and said, "Sons, listen to my orders, and after entering the camp, arrest all these five hundred people, and not let any of them go!" ”

The soldiers said yes one after another, and Zhao Ta nodded and said, "Enter the camp!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two thousand soldiers behind him rushed over, with or without intention, it was enough for two thousand people to catch five hundred people, and Zhao Ta was not worried about any accidents.

The tent in front of him immediately became chaotic, Zhao Ta looked at the impatient Yu Shunshui, dismounted and said, "Go in with General Ben and take a look!" ”

Yu Shunshui hurriedly nodded: "Respect the general's order!" ”

When I entered the first main village, I saw that it was already a mess inside, with wine jars and gambling equipment thrown on the ground, and the soldiers of the 14th Battalion who were set up with knives and guns were not convinced at all, and they were all scolding.

Zhao Ta frowned, Yu Shunshui observed his words, and immediately stepped forward to slap the most ruthless person who scolded, and the person was beaten to the point that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and then he reined in.

Zhao Ta looked left and right and said, "What about the battalion commander of the fourteenth battalion?" ”

This tent is a big tent, logically speaking, the battalion commander needs to sit here every day, but at the moment, let alone the battalion commander, he can't even see the head, and the big tent has become a place for the soldiers to drink and gamble.

No one spoke below, those little soldiers of the 14th Battalion, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are stiff by the neck.

Yu Shunshui shouted: "The general was ordered to inspect the internal and external military camps, and asked where the commander of your battalion was, who dared not answer?" ”

These people still didn't speak, and it took a long time for the drunk to mutter: "What a general, inspection fart, why didn't Lao Tzu see him when he was fighting on the battlefield!" ”

Zhao Ta said lightly when he heard this: "Whoever comes, all of them are killed!" ”

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, although they knew that Zhao Ta had the right to cut first and then play, but they didn't expect it to be so direct and ruthless.

Among the two thousand soldiers led by Zhao Ta, there were four heads, and one of them who entered this big tent trembled when he heard this, but how dare he disobey the order, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Obey the order!" ”

He stepped forward and cut off the head of the thief with a single sword, and the other soldiers also stepped forward to kill indiscriminately.

The soldiers of the 14th Battalion were about to shout "spare their lives" when they saw that the situation was not good, but where there was a knife fast, and in just a moment, they were killed in the big tent and blood flowed like a river.

Zhao Ta looked at his subordinates: "Lift these heads, go to each tent to arrest people, and kill all those who disobey!" ”

The soldiers were ordered to leave the camp one after another, and after about a quarter of an hour or two, they brought out the men of the fourteenth battalion and gathered them outside the tent.

These soldiers of the 14th Battalion were almost all disheveled and drunk, and some of them were not convinced even when they saw those leaders, clamoring to win back the lost money, obviously crazy with gambling.

Zhao Ta's eyes slowly swept over and said, "Which is the battalion commander?" ”

Yu Shunshui hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed a person, and said, "General, this kid is, when we found him, he was messing with a little girl, and the little girl's skin was scolded ugly, and he was chopped off by the villain!" ”

Zhao Ta looked at the battalion commander and said, "Can you be guilty?" ”

How dare the battalion commander argue at this moment, but he only promised: "The subordinate officer knows the guilt, knows the guilt." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Tie it up!" ”

Then he looked at the soldiers again: "Are you guilty?" ”

Some of the soldiers bowed their heads and were silent, and some looked to the side, although they knew that Zhao Ta really killed people, but they always thought that hundreds of people were standing here, how dare they kill them all, but no one answered.

Zhao Ta sneered and said, "Yu Shunshui, where is your neighbor?" ”

Yu Shunshui pointed to a person in the front team: "General, the one with the pointed head is!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Find out and let him and the conductor write the guilty complaint together!" ”

Yu Shunshui immediately jumped forward and dragged out the sharp-headed thief army, and the thief army scolded Yu Shunshui for eating inside and out.

Yu Shunshui stretched out his hand and slapped him: "Lao Tzu ate the grain of King Huai, and it was the general's errand, and I ate you at any time, but Lao Tzu remembered clearly that you scolded the privy envoy." ”

The sharp-headed thief army was stunned when he heard this, and then his voice couldn't help but lower.

Zhao Ta said: "This person's confession should be more detailed, and the 14th Battalion will be deceived and concealed on weekdays, and all the things he has done will be recruited. ”

Yu Shunshui immediately said "yes" when he heard this, and then slapped his pointed head again: "Did you hear what the general said?" If you write well, you may save your life, but if you don't write well, you will be sent to the Privy Council to ask for guilt! ”

The pointed head's face immediately changed greatly, and he was not afraid to die on the battlefield, but he had a big scar when his eyes were closed, but he had to be tortured when he went to the Privy Council.

Yu Shunshui looked at him, and suddenly whispered: "We are old neighbors, we fled from our hometown together, how can I really harm you?" You write a confession well, and tell the truth what is going on in the barracks, and then I will plead for you in front of the general, and you don't have to go to the Privy Council, so you may be able to take this opportunity to be promoted to an official. ”

The sharp-headed thief army didn't know that Yu Shunshui was half-coaxing and half-deceived at the moment, but he had no other way, so he said: "I'm illiterate, where will I write a confession?" ”

Yu Shunshui said: "You dictate that when the time comes, how can I hide it from you when these many people look at it!" ”

The pointy-headed thief army had no choice but to nod, and then was taken aside to confess.

Zhao Ta glanced at the soldiers behind him at this time, and said loudly: "Sons, the fourteenth battalion has violated military discipline, and there must be evidence hidden in the tent, so let the general go to the tent to search!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately became excited and ran towards the tents.

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the distance of the fence: "Where did you come from, soldiers, dare to search Lao Tzu's camp!" ”
