Yang Chengying brought more than 600 soldiers and more than 500 people with him on this expedition.

The people were driven by donkey carts and wheelbarrows, carrying large quantities of supplies.

These include grain, straw sandals, pots and pans, etc.

Because Yang Chengying knew very well that the purpose of this trip was just to deal with the bandits.

To deal with them, hundreds of elites under his own command are more than enough.

What's more, when a certain number of people are gathered, they will return to the town.

The bandit cottage on Shiren Mountain was laid down, and in addition to obtaining thousands of people, he also got a certain amount of treasure.

These bandits robbed their homes, but Fuzhou was already poor, and they did not dare to rob Jinzhou Town and Gaizhou.

Therefore, the actual amount of treasure obtained is not much.

Yang Chengying divided these treasures into three parts, one for the meritorious soldiers, one for the meritorious people, and one for Kong Youde.

Let Kong Youde take the money and buy some daily necessities for these people after returning to Zhenyu City.

There are thousands of people, soldiers, and men in large numbers, and it is necessary to pay attention to personal hygiene.

Fortunately, Yang Chengying brought soap and set up a few bathhouses on the mountain.

Let these people take a hot bath for men and women.

When they are all refreshed, they will be put into the young and strong people and get a share of the money.

When they return to Jinzhou Town, these laborers also have money to buy some daily necessities.

As for those who have no pillars at home, Yang Chengying asked them to help the female soldiers work.

For example, it is weighed in gunpowder and packed into a gunpowder bag.

Or the grain and grass brought from the cottage on the back of the army, the salary is less, and there is no better way.

The army rested for a day and continued to sweep away the bandits in Fuzhou.

The leader who escaped from Shiren Mountain rode his horse and panicked.

He only wanted to flee as far north as possible to avoid Yang Chengying's troops.

According to his estimate, Yang Chengying's target is the bandits, and he will not go too far north, so as not to encounter Jianyu.

Fleeing, he suddenly collided head-on with a cavalry unit.

"Oops, how did Jianyu appear here."

The leader didn't have time to think about it, so he turned his horse's head and fled.

Among the Jianyu cavalry, the leader was a sturdy middle-aged man.

As soon as he saw that the other party was about to escape, he shouted: "The thief doesn't want to escape!" ”

With that, he whipped his horse and tried to catch up.

But there was some distance between the leader and them, and the horses used to escape were also fat and strong.

The two sides always keep a certain distance.

The middle-aged man couldn't catch up, so he rode a horse and opened his bow and arrows.

Sou!

A wolf-toothed arrow stabbed firmly into the leader's horse's buttocks.

The horse was in pain and tossed the leader to the ground.

The leader fell off his galloping horse, broke three ribs in an instant, and lay on the ground screaming in pain.

The middle-aged man arrived and asked his men to surround him.

"Say, what's your name? Where did it come from? ”

"The little one is called Jiang Quanfa, and he is the big boss on Shiren Mountain."

In order to survive, Jiang Quanfa said everything.

"Stone Man Mountain? That's not the place to be close to the town of Golden State, how did you get here. ”

The middle-aged man vaguely guessed the reason and still asked.

"Yang Chengying of Jinzhou Town led an army to attack us, and I survived."

"Then, do you know where Yang Chengying is?"

"I don't know, after I escaped, I didn't dare to go back."

"Fake don't know, or really don't know?"

In order to cooperate with the middle-aged man's interrogation, a Houjin soldier kicked Jiang Quanfa in the injured part.

Jiang Quanfa rolled on the ground in pain, and said repeatedly: "I really don't know." ”

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, the middle-aged man glanced at his subordinates. Afterwards, ride away.

The subordinate pulled out the knife and unsheathed it, "Didn't you cry out that it hurts, I'll give you the pain." ”

Seeing the knife in the other party's hand, Jiang Quanfa was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Please spare your life......

Before he finished speaking, he was killed by a knife.

The middle-aged man rode a horse and walked north, and after a while, he encountered a large army of cavalry.

The leader is Liu Xingzuo.

As for the middle-aged man, it is naturally Liu Xingzhi.

"Second brother, Yang Chengying is not far away. The younger brother is willing to go and investigate in person to see where this guy is! ”

"Pay attention to safety, don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

After Liu Xingzhi answered, he turned his horse's head and went to join his men.

Find the specific location of Yang Chengying.

Liu Xingzuo led 800 cavalry to follow far behind, so as not to be discovered in advance.

To say that Liu Xingzhi looks relatively rough, but his mind is very delicate.

He was keenly aware that Yang Chengying was nearby, and immediately took off his armor with his subordinates, disguised as a fleeing refugee.

Walk on horseback for a while, find a place to hide the horse, divide a few brothers to look at it, and look for it on foot with the rest of the people.

The reason why I am so cautious is that there is no way.

Whoever made Yang Chengying's sentinels are not vegetarians, they are all Yang Chengying's personal guards, and they are all elites. And never alone, often two or three together, extremely difficult to deal with.

Fuzhou is barren everywhere, and Liu Xingzhi and several others rely on the map and the sun to discern the most basic direction.

The hard work paid off, and two days later, he had a reward.

An inquiring brother reported that he had found rut marks on the road, which were very deep.

"Let's go, let's go see it right away."

Liu Xingzhi asked the brother to lead the way to the spot where the rut was found.

He measured the depth with the branches and was slightly surprised: "So deep! How heavy should the cannon he pulled? ”

"I heard that Yang Chengying doesn't like light artillery, and he doesn't like those bells and whistles firearms. I love two things, one is a bird's gun, and the other is this kind of heavy artillery. ”

A soldier who knew the inside story whispered.

Liu Xingzhi smiled: with an appreciative tone, he said: "He has vision." ”

"Fifth Master, what should I do next?" One soldier asked.

"So many of us are easily exposed."

Liu Xingzhi didn't think about it, so he ordered: "You two quickly report back to the second master and explain the situation here."

The others followed me, and we followed the rut for a little longer. ”

The distribution has been decided, and each of them acts.

Liu Xingzhi took the remaining three brothers and continued to explore the way.

This time, they chose to drill into the woods, not the avenues.

Hide in the woods, follow the path into the mountains, and keep going.

As they walked, they heard voices.

Several people subconsciously hid behind the grass, and to make sure that the sound was not coming this way, they carefully removed the weeds.

I saw a few men dressed as ordinary people in the woods.

Liu Xingzhi thought about it and guessed that this was likely to be Yang Chengying's stronghold.

He gestured to the brothers to lower their bodies and wait for the people to leave.

The men gossiped, untied their hands and left.

Liu Xingzhi immediately gestured and went to a higher place together to facilitate observation.

They climbed over a hillside and stood on a relatively high point, looking down below.

It turned out that this was a cottage, which had been beaten down by Yang Chengying.

The cottage was crowded with people, and many people were holding bowls, as if they were drinking porridge.

The people's clothes are also varied, and many women wear men's clothes, but their faces and hands are clean.

"It's weird."

After observing for a while, Liu Xingzhi was puzzled.

"Fifth Master, what's wrong?"

A brother behind him asked in a whisper.

"Yang Chengying's sentry is very powerful, why haven't we met one."

"Maybe it's slacking off, it's time to eat."

"Stupid! Yang Chengying is a weirdo who refuses to eat a little loss, how can he be defenseless. ”

When they heard this, the brothers looked at each other without answers.

"Suffered!"

Liu Xingzhi suddenly realized the problem, "We have fallen for it." ”
