Chapter 53: Exceptionally Smooth
"The person who came is General Meng, and Xiao Ke is safe!" At this moment, a young man came out of the dense forest, accompanied by two people dressed as domestic servants.
The young man speaks in a crepe, presumably a scholar.
Meng Yi stopped and stared at the young man, and he became cautious.
His Majesty entrusted him with a great task, and he dispatched as soon as possible, and never announced it to the public, but this son knew that it was him, which showed that this son knew his whereabouts well.
This son will be wrong, and so will the bandits.
"Bold bandits, you commit adultery, insult and plunder, and do evil, and today I will destroy you."
Meng Yi rose up and drew his sword against each other.
Yi An was not afraid, and responded with a smile: "Xiao Ke is an ordinary person, not a bandit, because his family was killed by bandits, I heard that the general came to suppress the bandits today, so I exhausted my family wealth to help the general, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"As long as he can take revenge, Xiao Ke is willing to pay any price." Yi An said angrily.
Meng Yi bowed slightly, but his vigilance did not relax, and he arched his hand and said: "Thank you, but Meng Yi has something to do today, and it is inconvenient to bother, and it is not too late for me to get together again after I destroy the bandits." ”
He didn't want to make a fuss, and he couldn't waste too much time and politely push it back.
Yi An showed regret, and was not persistent, and said: "That is the case, Xiao Ke wishes the general a great victory, but it is a pity that dozens of rough banquets here have been wasted, and I implore the general to give Xiao Ke a few thin noodles, and after the bandits are suppressed, they will come together with their faces." ”
Meng Yi arched his hand and said, "Okay, if you can exterminate the bandits today, I will definitely accept your appointment." ”
This is a word of shirk, and after speaking, he led the five hundred people away and went straight to the bandit cottage.
When I got to the cottage, I heard an exclamation.
"Oh no, the imperial army has arrived."
For a moment, there was a panic in the cottage, and it seemed that many people were desperately trying to escape.
The adjutant general looked at it and sneered slightly, "Snake and rat generation, it really can't be on the stage, general, please allow me to lead my brothers to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor." ”
Meng Yi didn't nod, but frowned and stood still.
Seeing that the commotion in the cottage was getting stronger and stronger, and seeing someone fleeing into the mountains, the deputy general was anxious, knelt down and begged for orders: "General, please immediately order the extermination of the bandits, otherwise let them escape, and we will be able to annihilate them all one day." ”
Meng Yi was a cautious person, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see why, so he ordered the deputy general to lead two hundred people into the village.
When the 200 people launched an attack, it was unusually smooth, and they soon attacked the cottage, and the obstacles encountered were minimal, and even if there were, they retreated with one blow, and they had no heart to fight.
"Hey, hey! Bandits are always bandits, how can they compete with my Great Qin Lion, brothers, chase me down, kill the bandits, and give me a knighthood. ”
The lieutenant shouted excitedly.
Since the unification, there have been few wars, and it is difficult for the sergeants to be knighted by virtue of their military merits, but today is different, General Meng swore that destroying bandits is killing the enemy, and destroying the enemy's military merits is the same.
All of a sudden, everyone killed and smashed the bandits' lair.
It was like crossing a no-man's land, all the resisters were killed, and those who could not escape were captured, and dozens of ragged women were rescued and a lot of property was seized.
According to the statistics of the adjutant general, a total of 20 bandits were wiped out, 100 people were captured, and the rest fled into the mountains and could not be traced, and there was no casualty on his side, which can be described as a complete victory.
The adjutant general was very excited, so he reported the news to Meng Yi as soon as possible.
Meng Yi was also very excited, but he always felt that it was too smooth, and asked the scout first: "How many bandits are there?" ”
The scout gave his hand and said, "About two or three hundred." ”
Yes, since the order was received, the scouts have come to investigate.
More than 100 people were captured and killed, and more than 100 escaped, a total of 2,300 people, which is consistent with the actual situation. Meng Yi was still not at ease, so he called a captive woman to ask, and learned from her mouth that there were probably only so many bandits he had seen.
Meng Yi was slightly relieved, secretly thinking that the reason why the bandits dared to blatantly commit crimes at the feet of the Son of Heaven was because they were deep in the mountains, but they didn't have other plans!
Indeed, the mountains are vast and the jungles are dense, and even if an army of 100,000 enters it, it may not be able to wipe out 300 people.
Meng Yi seemed to have figured out some doubts, so he spoke:
"That's it! The task of suppressing bandits has been completed, and I will report the military merits one by one. ”
Suddenly, the five hundred people were boiling, and the deputy general was so great that he jumped up and said, "General, it's rare to be happy, and you have destroyed the bandits so quickly, can you go to the banquet under the mountain?" ”
At this moment, the people also showed their longing, but it was really too hot in this hot weather, and they were hungry after another busy day.
Meng Yi thought to himself: In this case, if you don't fulfill everyone's wishes, it will chill everyone's hearts, not to mention that the young people under the mountain are not like villains, maybe it is because of revenge that they can do such a righteous thing.
So, he agreed, and the five hundred people hurried down the mountain, and the young man came up very well, and was extremely eager.
"The audience heroes are full of red faces, and they will win, congratulations!" Yi An wiped his eyes and cried with joy.
"My family has revenge!"
"In order to thank you for this kindness, please be sure to appreciate the celebration banquet prepared by Xiao Ke, otherwise Xiao Ke will be uneasy."
Meng Yi was mentally prepared, so he agreed.
So, the five hundred people sat at the table, perhaps hungry, and soon feasted on it, and the gobbling momentum was really amazing.
