Chapter 124: Razing and Conquering

Chen Cao was right, only half an hour after returning to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the herald went up the mountain, Sun Chuanting went to Yingtan to negotiate with Lan Yingliu, the leader of the She people in Xuxi, and the result was relatively bad, and then Sun Chuanting ordered Huang Degong and Lou Xingye to lead the troops to kill directly in Xuxi and attack the nest of the She people.

"It's been three hours now, and I don't know if Brother Boya has entered it."

Chen Cao was not worried at all, if something really happened, the person who reported the news would have come back long ago, and he had absolute confidence in the firearms in his hands, not to mention that he also brought four newly-made tiger squat cannons when he came, with the elite level of the existing weapons, it should not be a big problem to break through the cottage of the She people.

Zhang Xianyong came to deliver medicinal tea again, but Chen Cao didn't dare to drink it: "Thank you, Little Heavenly Master, why, didn't you let Aunt Xiaokun deliver it today?" ”

"Little sister?" Zhang Xianyong frowned, obviously he didn't know what Zhang Ru had done.

Seeing this, Chen Cao didn't mention it, and said with a smile: "Not really." ”

"The little sister said after lunch that she was unwell and was resting," Zhang Xianyong shook his head: "On weekdays, she is in excellent spirits, and I heard that she drank the cold water in the mountains in the waterhole in the middle of the night yesterday, and she thought that she was suffering from the cold, so it was fine." ”

Chen Cao's heart was tense again, for fear that his face would blush, so he quickly diverted the topic: "If the matter is handled properly today, tomorrow Uncle Japan will leave Longhu Mountain, if the little Heavenly Master is free, he can go to Jinling to talk about it, and Uncle Ben will definitely be hospitable." ”

Zhang Xianyong pinched the trick and smiled: "Ding Wu Bo is warm, Poor Dao has the opportunity to accept it, this time Ding Wu Bo came from afar, my father specially asked Poor Dao to give Ding Wu Bo to send me Longhu Mountain's specialty, there are not many things, talk about your heart, and hope that Ding Wu Bo will smile." ”

The feelings were to give gifts, Chen Cao hurriedly refused, but Zhang Xianyong had already ordered the Taoist priest to carry the things in, so he left with a smile, and Chen Cao couldn't stop it, so he shook his head with a smile.

Zhao Xin saw Zhang Xianyong leave before he carefully stepped forward to open one of the boxes, and then hurriedly closed it: "Uncle, it's all gold and silver, not to mention that this box has three thousand taels." ”

Three boxes, that is, close to 10,000 taels of silver, it seems that Longhu Mountain is also generous.

"Zhang Tianshi's faction is much more arrogant than other Taoist temples, hey, after all, he is also a national teacher, and he can't be poor," Chen Cao opened the box and took a look: "Put it away, order someone to load it and transport it away, a little heart, if you don't accept it, Zhang Tianshi thinks that we will say bad things about them in the future." ”

It wasn't until late in the evening that the herald went up the mountain again, and this time it brought good news: "Uncle Qiqi, the guard regiment has broken through the big village of the She people in Xuxi and captured Lan Yingliu alive, but the chief of staff has ordered to kill more than 70 people of Lan Yingliu and his relatives, and let Lan Yingquan, a person from Yuexi She, take over Xuxi, and the guard regiment has withdrawn to Yingtan Town, waiting for the uncle's order." ”

"Hmm..." Chen Cao responded, then got up and looked at Zhao Xin: "Let's go, follow me to say goodbye to Zhang Guoxiang, we will live in Yingtan tonight, and we will leave for Nanjing early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Guoxiang heard that Chen Cao was leaving tonight, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare wine and food, Chen Cao naturally didn't eat it, and after some prevarication, he took people down the mountain, and checked several times and did not see Zhang Ru in the team to see him off.

Chen Cao was very embarrassed, after all, he did something bad last night, and he thought that Zhang Ru knew that it was him, and he didn't want to face it, so he didn't think much about it and left with someone.

When he was about to walk through the stone workshop, Zhang Ru appeared in front of Chen Cao, Chen Cao was stunned, so he waved his hand and asked Zhao Xin to take people to the foot of the mountain to wait.

"Hey..."Chen Cao laughed awkwardly: "Does Xiao Kungu have anything to explain?" ”

It was dark, and Chen Cao couldn't see Zhang Ru's already red face clearly: "Adulterer, you did a good thing..."

Chen Cao didn't dare to talk again, for fear that he would let Zhang Xianyong or Zhang Guoxiang know later, and Zhang Ru was not embarrassed when he saw this: "You... When will I come back..."

Chen Cao thought for a while: "If there is nothing to do, I don't think I will come to Longhu Mountain again..."

"That..." Zhang Ru seemed to be speechless and stopped, and only took out a pink embroidered bag from his arms for a long time: "This is for you, bring me some tea when it's empty..."

The things were given to Chen Cao, and then he turned around and ran towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Chen Cao was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, smelling the aroma of the embroidery bag, as well as the body fragrance on Zhang Ru's body, he was a little reluctant to leave.

Zhao Xin saw Zhang Ru walking away before he slowly came up: "Uncle, if you don't ask Zhang Tianshi to ask for a parent, it's not his daughter, and my cousin won't object to it." ”

Chen Cao squinted at Zhao Xin, so frightened that Zhao Xin hurriedly retracted, Chen Cao turned his head and looked at the back of Zhang Ru, who had already walked away: "Do we have a visit in Guangxin Mansion?" ”

"Guangxin Mansion City has."

"Arrange for people to be stationed in Guixi County and listen to the news of Longhu Mountain at all times."

Zhao Xin nodded thoughtfully: "The subordinates understand, this is arranged." ”

When I arrived in Yingtan Town, it was already a torch and even the sky was shining on the earth, and such a night walk had only been experienced in Liaodong, Chen Cao dismounted and immediately asked Sun Chuanting, who came up: "How many dead and wounded?" ”

"The guard regiment was wounded sixty-seven people, one died, and after breaking through the cottage, it was not very good to fall into the cliff, and the body has been found and placed, and it was sent to Yugan County first." Sun Chuanting replied.

"Well, settle the dead well, don't ruin the name of our new army," Chen Cao said and said: "Tell me to go down, the whole army is ready, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Chen Cao's speed of action was not ordinarily fast, it really took only fifteen days to come and go, and half a month later, he appeared at the Longjiang Ferry, and the new army returned to the camp and was included in the establishment, and he returned home quickly.

After going out for a long time, it is inevitable to miss your family.

"Uncle..."The maid did not dare to enter the study, so she shouted softly outside the study.

"What?"

"Someone came to the Wei State Mansion and sent a lot of things outside the mansion, and the people have already left."

Chen Cao: "Send someone to find Zhao Xin." ”

...

"Uncle," Zhao Xin's appearance may be similar to what Chen Cao does at home, but Chen Cao's family has a large population, and I am afraid that it will not work for a while when the rain and dew are wet: "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Grandpa Guo sent a lot of things to thank you, you convert these things, and then divide them among the brothers who were killed or injured, and bring some to the brothers of Jinyiwei by the way, remember, everyone has them."

"Yes..."

"Uncle..."Xu Kaixian walked quickly, and if he looked closely, he could see that his feet were not very flexible: "Shandong spies came to report that Liu Kongzhao impeached the uncle in the court a few days ago, and the Donglin Party made a big fuss about it, and attacked the uncle in the court for the uncle's establishment of a bank. ”

"Hey..."Chen Cao sneered: "There are really people who are not afraid of death." ”

Zhao Xin clenched his fists: "Uncle, why don't you let all these people die in the hands of Shandong Xiangma?" ”

"We're not bandits," Chen Cao shook his head, but then smiled: "But Shandong has always produced ringing horses, and Shandong Dusi has also been repeatedly suppressed, right?" ”

Zhao Xinxie smiled, and then clenched his fists: "The subordinates will retire first..."

"I'm about to go on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom, they don't even think about how to deal with Wei Zhongxian, they still want to deal with me, they are really panicked, these people themselves are difficult to protect, and they still think about me here, they are really stupid to read." Chen Cao scolded with a smile, then looked at Xu Kaixian and said: "Before leaving, the people over there in Guangxin sent a lot of silver, which was converted into forty or fifty thousand taels, and ordered all the people to be sent to the capital." ”

"Yes..."Xu Kaixian replied, and was about to leave but remembered something: "Uncle, there is one more thing, because I went to Jiangxi in those days, Song Ninghou and his gang have long wanted to see you, uncle." ”

Chen Cao pulled the somewhat uncomfortable trouser belt, and then nodded: "You go to Qinhuai Building to book a table of banquets, get all these people over, and tell them that I will invite them to drink tonight." ”

"Yes..."

...

"The so-called master Yi long skills to control the raze, these She people are just uncivilized barbarians, wait until they are familiar with the Han culture, when they can know the power, if they have been attacked for a long time, tired, and then let the local propaganda department deal with it, as long as they are disobedient, they will all move to the county to live, Ben Bo wants to see what wind and waves they can stir up in the place where the Han people gather, isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Chen Cao was telling Feng Kelie and a few nobles about his affairs in Jiangxi, and he didn't put the last time they were detained, giving Feng Kelie and the others the feeling as if something had never happened at all.

Feng Kelie couldn't help it, and only took the initiative to speak under the eyes of Zhou Rui and the others: "Uncle Dingwu, you see this matter..."

Chen Cao came back to his senses at this time, he had been talking to himself for too long, and he didn't give this group of people a chance to play, so he hurriedly picked up his wine glass: "Come, drink first..."

After three glasses of wine, Chen Cao immediately changed his expression, and said solemnly: "Since a few people want to see me, then I, Chen Cao, will also treat a few of them as brothers, although everyone here is older than Chen Cao, but at this moment, it is easier for me to speak as a young eunuch..."

Several people looked at each other and didn't dare to speak, Chen Cao shook his head with a smile, and continued: "Let's get straight to the point, do you want to follow me Chen Cao, or do you want to continue to fight against me?" ”

Several people have already discussed it, and after being imprisoned for more than half a month, who wants to go back and live on the charge of rebellion against the family and extermination?

Feng Kelie arched his hand: "Please Ding Wubo to mention a few of us." ”
