Chapter 192: Suppressing Bandits

When Feng Yuanchang took office, he did not do his first errand.

All the grain offered to the court was burned.

Originally, this batch of grain was going to be given to the Feng family army, but the price of grain in the capital was out of control and kept rising, so Sheng Wuji wanted to transport this batch of grain and grass back to the capital.

And the next batch of grain and grass in Zhou County will be given to the Fengjia army.

But now this batch of grain is gone.

Feng Yuanchang was a little worried in his heart, Sheng Wuji's suspicion was notoriously, and he was worried that this matter would plant a nail in Sheng Wuji's heart.

At that time, the impact on the Feng family will be very bad.

Originally, Feng Yuanfang was still in the capital, which could make Sheng Wuzhi feel at ease.

But now Feng Yuanfang is no longer in the capital.

This made Feng Yuanchang very worried.

But the grain and grass have been burned.

It's no use worrying either.

The only thing that can be done is to find the bandits.

Feng Yuanchang had never thought of suppressing bandits so quickly.

But now it's happening.

Feng Yuanchang naturally wanted to lead troops to suppress bandits.

It is best to find the group of bandits who burned the grain and grass, and only in this way can you get the forgiveness of Sheng Wuji.

There have always been a lot of bandits near Cloud City.

Feng Yuanchang soon got a schematic map of the bandits near Cloud City.

"General, can we take my brother to clean up the bandits who burned our grain?"

One of the generals under Feng Yuanchang's hand asked with his hands rubbing his hands, he was very angry that the army's food was robbed.

Feng Yuanchang shook his head, his face was a little solemn: "Let's find out the situation in the recent period of time first!" ”

Although Feng Yuanchang is young, he is cautious and cautious, and he never only cares about immediate interests.

Moreover, he had also heard that the reason why bandits were rampant was mainly due to the corruption of local officials, so he planned to do it himself this time.

"But ........"

The lieutenant was clearly anxious to get the job done.

Feng Yuanchang waved his hand and let people retreat.

He glanced at the topographical map of the neighborhood in his hand, which did not indicate much specific places, and could only get a general idea of what the surrounding environment was like.

Feng Yuanchang stood up, walked to the window and looked at the sky outside, when will such days come to an end?

"General, why don't you rest for a while!"

The personal servant on the side saw Feng Yuanchang sitting by the window, so he took a stool and sat behind Feng Yuanchang, and pinched Feng Yuanchang's shoulder.

"It's okay, you go down! I'm alone. ”

"Oh, okay, General, you have something to call me."

"Hmm."

After the next person left the room, Feng Yuanchang turned his head to look at the lieutenant general and sighed.

The mountain bandits near Cloud City are not like the mountain bandits who burned the grain that day.

Those people are not like ordinary mountain bandits, but like well-trained officers and soldiers, and ordinary mountain bandits simply do not have this strength.

Although he doesn't fight much now, Feng Yuanchang has relatively little actual combat experience, but Feng Yuanchang is relatively proficient in military formations, and his soldiers are all strictly trained.

But the people I met that day were of extraordinary strength, and they were also proficient in military formations and tactics.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuanchang couldn't help frowning.

"General."

There was a knock on the door, and it was pushed open from the outside.

"General, this is the intelligence of the recent period."

A middle-aged man took a stack of materials and respectfully handed it to Feng Yuanchang.

"Hmm."

Feng Yuanchang nodded, took the pile of documents and flipped through them.

After half a ring, Feng Yuanchang put down the document in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"Tell me, what are we going to do?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "My subordinates feel that those mountain bandits should not be local mountain bandits, but those sent to Yuncheng by other state capitals or provinces, and the purpose is probably similar to what the general thinks." ”

"Go on."

"The subordinates believe that the reason why those bandits chose to attack the granary must have been instigated. No matter what the identity of that person is, since he wants to deal with the general, he must find out the news of the other party. And our priority now is to find the opponent's position and annihilate the enemy. Otherwise, if the other side attacks us again, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. ”

Feng Yuanchang was silent for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head, "Then this matter will be handed over to you." I hope you will be able to solve the case within three days. ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Please rest assured, general, within three days, his subordinates will definitely find out the real culprit." ”

After the middle-aged man left, Feng Yuanchang closed his eyes for a moment and opened his eyes again.

Yuncheng is a remote town, but this is a rich place, and it shouldn't be so poor, just because the local gentry and officials here are quite corrupt, and they have to deduct a lot of silver taels every year.

Feng Yuan often knew that someone didn't want him to stay in Cloud City.

And that person, there is no need to guess, Feng Yuanchang also knows who it is.

The corners of Feng Yuan's mouth hooked up a sneer.

He Feng Yuanchang will definitely not lose.

The Li family, he will definitely overthrow the Li family.

…………

As night falls, the moonlight falls on this ancient land.

Cloud City was brightly lit at night, and a carriage stopped in front of an inn.

"Guest officer, please, welcome."

The shopkeeper warmly entertained the guests who had just arrived at the store.

"Little Er, just a few bowls of white rice and four dishes of side dishes."

"Okay, wait a minute, the meal will be served immediately."

After that, the shopkeeper hurriedly went down to prepare things.

Several customers came to the store and sat by the window to eat, Feng Yuanchang looked around, and then drank slowly.

"This guest officer, here is the meal you want!"

After a while, the shopkeeper came back with four plates of side dishes and four bowls of rice.

Feng Yuanchang put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then checked out and left.

Not long after Feng Yuanchang left, a young man in a blue brocade robe walked into the inn, he looked left and right, and then walked into a private room.

"Childe."

After the young man sat down, a man dressed in gray walked out of the room and walked up to him.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Well, after Feng Yuanchang collected the schematic map of the soldiers and bandits near Cloud City, he has not moved, and he is still in the mood to come out to eat."

Does he really not care about the loss of grain and grass? ”

The young man who spoke was none other than Li Zetian.

"Childe, I have already checked, in the days when the grain and grass were stolen, none of the soldiers in Pingyun County took action, it seems that this matter was not done by Han Zhi."

The man in gray reported to Li Zetian.

"Burning the grain and grass is not good for the cold branches, she won't do it, she is a person, once she doesn't do it, she will be very ruthless as soon as she makes a move, not to mention that now she has supported Bu Yunling to fight with our Li family.

The Feng family has a good relationship with her again.

The only forces in Yuncheng are our Li family, the prefect Bu Yunling, and the newly arrived Feng family army.

But the surrounding forces are too complicated.

The land here in Yuncheng is fertile, it is a big grain-producing city, and there are many people who want to keep an eye on it.

But there are not many people who have the strength to make the Feng family army deflated.

Hanzhi counts as one.

The other one is the Zhou Governor's Mansion.

You go and inform my father that my wedding with Zhou Ling'er will be postponed.

The Feng family is afraid that the truth will soon be found out, and they will definitely face the Zhou family at that time.

The Zhou family did not benefit at all from dealing with the Feng family's army.

I'm afraid that there will be more incidents, and now the world is too complicated. ”

Li Zetian took a sip of tea and said to his henchman.

He has always taken a wife for the sake of profit.

The Zhou family suddenly made a move, he felt that something was wrong, it might be to rebel, he didn't want to marry the daughter of a thief.

He couldn't afford to gamble.

··········

Han Zhi also told Feng Yuanfang the truth he found at this time.

These are all found out in witch dreams.

Wu Xingmeng is now rooted in the government.

Hanzhi's news is very well-informed.

All that was burned was weeds and sand.

The weeds are soaked in black oil, which is why they burn so quickly.

This proves that what Zhou County delivered at the beginning was not real grain and grass.

There is a problem with the mountain bandits, but there is also a problem in Zhou County, and the real grain and grass are very likely to be in Zhou County.

It was inconvenient for Feng Yuanchang to send someone to keep an eye on Zhou County, so Feng Yuanfang found someone to do business in Zhou County, so as to find out the situation in Zhou County.

But Feng Yuanfang's people were all driven out of Zhou County for various reasons.

If you are unlucky, you will lose half your life by a board ordered by Zhou County.

This time, Feng Yuanfang is basically 100% sure that there are ghosts in Zhou County.

And Feng Yuanfang also inquired that there was a Moon Shadow Town near Zhou County.

This Moon Shadow Town is actually a bandit ditch, and the mountain bandits inside are said to be mainly women.

Feng Yuanchang didn't have any thoughts of pity and cherishing jade.

What if Moon Shadow Town is full of women, these are mountain bandits, and they should be exterminated.

However, the mountain bandit who burned his grain and grass that day did not look like a woman.

Feng Yuanchang didn't think about it for long, he still chose to take action against Moon Shadow Town, and surrounded Moon Shadow Town with soldiers and horses.

A mountain bandit's nest dares to call itself a town, which is a blatant provocation to the majesty of the imperial court.

"Kill!"

Feng Yuanchang gave an order, and the soldiers raised their weapons and rushed forward, only to see the sword light and sword shadows, bloody sky, corpses piled up on the road, bright red and piercing liquid flowed along the soil on both sides of the road, converging into a stream.

"Run...... Run for your life......"

Screams rang out from Moonshade, the cries of women and children mixed together to make it creepy to hear.

Feng Yuanchang stood on a high place, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes were cold.

Surrounded by mountains, Moon Shadow is a dangerous place, but it is also inconvenient to escape, once trapped, there is nowhere to escape.

Feng Yuanchang waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately understood, blocking the only entrance to Moon Shadow Town.

At this time, a woman in white appeared at the entrance, one person and one sword, with a lonely expression, as if she was not afraid of death, nor was she afraid of life and death, just because there were thousands of troops standing behind her.

"What a big stance!" The woman said indifferently, the corners of her mouth curled with mockery, "General Feng doesn't think that you can take my Moon Shadow Town in this way?" ”

The woman is dressed in white, her black hair is like ink, her face is beautiful, her skin is crystal clear, as if she is bursting with a bomb, her eyes are sharp, and her eyebrows are full of heroism, which makes people feel awe-inspired.

Feng Yuanchang squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, although he had never seen the other party, he recognized the other party at a glance.

Folding the moon.

The world's first female swordsman.

This unique temperament, except for the folding moon, no one else will have it.

"Originally, I wasn't going to do anything with you," Feng Yuanchang said slowly, "But now, you have to stay!" ”

As soon as Feng Yuan's long words fell, all the soldiers raised their weapons in unison and surrounded Zhiyue.

Zhiyue sneered, not taking these people into her eyes at all: "Feng Yuanchang, I have heard of you." ”

"You are young and promising, dignified, Wen Taowu is unsurpassed, and you are a famous general." Oritsuki praised.

Hearing this, Feng Yuanchang's expression changed slightly, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting: "However, you shouldn't provoke me." ”

Zhiyue raised her lips and smiled lightly: "I just advise you, don't kill yourself, otherwise today next year will be your sacrifice day." ”

"Then try it!" Feng Yuanchang roared angrily: "Kill-"

"Huh-" The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard.

Countless soldiers rushed towards the Orizuki.

Orizuki kicked a nearby soldier away, then pulled out the sword at her waist and directly cut off the arm of one of the soldiers, and with a backhand swing, she slashed through several others.

The speed of the moon is very fast, the sword technique is sharp, and in not many rounds, the corpses of soldiers are already lying around.

Feng Yuanchang originally wanted to capture Zhiyue alive, but he saw Zhiyue's fierce combat power.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Feng Yuanchang gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison.

Qi Brush flew towards the Folding Moon.

Zheyue's body lightly dodged the first round of arrows, and the sword flower in his hand easily knocked down the second round of arrows.

"Keep firing the arrows!" Feng Yuan shouted, dodged Zhiyue's attack, and yelled at the archer, "Shoot her!" Shoot the Orizuki into a hedgehog! ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Orizuki's mouth, but her eyes looked at the sharp arrows coming towards her.

Suddenly, she tiptoed a little behind Moonshade.

Rounds of arrows missed.

Feng Yuanchang was very helpless, so he could only continue to send soldiers to rush up to consume Zhiyue's strength.

These are his soldiers, he doesn't want to use his life to consume Orizuki, but Orizuki's light skills are very powerful, only shoot arrows, and Orizuki will hide.

You can't shoot arrows when your own soldiers attack the Orizuki, which will undoubtedly send those people to death.

Oritsuki faced the soldiers who rushed up like waves, and Oritsuki held a long sword, and one person and one sword were firmly blocked

The offensive of so many people.

"General, it's not okay to go on like this, we can't do anything about her at all!"

"Use the military formation." Feng Yuanchang said to his subordinates.

"Military formation?"

Everyone was stunned for a second.

"That's right, now only the military array can take her, quick, prepare it for me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Feng Yuanchang looked at the folding moon that was getting more and more violent.

I hated in my heart: "Damn woman, you'll know how powerful the military array is later!" ”

He then ordered his soldiers to set up their formations.

Orizuki also felt an aura of oppression and danger.

"General, this ......"

"Shut up, go!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers received the order and immediately set up the military formation according to what Feng Yuanchang said.

The formation was soon formed, and a giant circle surrounded the Orizuki.

Orizuki's movements were hindered, and the sharp sword light slowed down for a moment.
