Chapter 24: Unification of Yishui
When others fight, they are all more and more tired the more they fight, but Li Ghost is the only one who can get luck by killing people, and luck strengthens the body, and the more he fights, the more excited he is.
When the killing rose, Ghost Li took his own soldiers and chased the fleeing thieves all the way to Lotus Mountain.
Among several cottages, all the young and strong people who can fight have been taken away, leaving behind nothing more than some old, weak, sick and disabled women and children, and Li Ghost is too lazy to kill again, so he simply sits near the gate of the village and asks the soldiers to go back and gather the soldiers here.
At this time, the spearmen team had also been killed in a chaotic formation, and they had become the old ones fighting separately, but at this time, the thieves were already cold, and few people dared to stop resisting, and there was not much damage.
After a full half an hour, the soldiers were all gathered and lined up again on this lotus mountain.
checked again, but three more died, and more than ten were slightly and seriously injured.
This is the first time to face the thief head-on, and this kind of casualty, Ghost Li can also accept it.
It's just that even this kind of bandit has few casualties, and if it really encounters the regular army, the gap in combat power is huge, and I don't know how long it can last.
After Li Laoqi led the team to clean up the Lotus Mountain, Li Gui ordered the team to be closed and returned triumphantly.
This time, there were many enemies, and everyone was basically stained with blood on their guns, so Ghost Li simply gave everyone a first-class credit.
This group of slaughterers no longer paid attention to any merits, but looked at the woman brought out of the Lotus Mountain and began to look for their future mother-in-law.
Of course, Ghost Li knew what they were thinking, and after returning to the cottage, he counted the number of women, and found that there was enough for one person, so he didn't wait for the celebration banquet, but gathered directly on the square and distributed all the mothers-in-law.
Suddenly, the whole cottage was like the New Year, and everyone was smiling.
Those who had been groom's officials the day before yesterday were now there, and now the old gods were there, making a calm attitude, pointing at and laughing at the group of monkey anxious men.
"Hehe, I haven't seen the chicks of the girls......"
I can't forget how bad they were the night before.
After this battle, the spirit of the surrounding cottages was defeated, and then Li Ghost didn't need to go out in person at all, he only needed to send his team generals to each team to easily break through the cottage.
Within a few days, all the cottages in Yishui County were swept away by Li Gui, gold and silver, grain, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, women...... and all of them were taken over by Yushan.
In addition to the original iron spearmen, two additional divisions of reserves were trained, and they trained with bamboo spears every day, and only needed to get new spears, and they could be directly turned into regulars.
Ding Zhixian was not only glad that he was crooked and had done the matter of Ghost Li, but also distressed that Ghost Li was really in the grass under his rule, and it seemed that he really had the intention of causing trouble.
He had discussed with Master Song many times, but he had no solution.
Originally, he wanted to throw the blame for the thief's incident on the military general, but if the leader of the anti-thieves was Ghost Li, then this big cauldron would not be thrown out.
Because Ghost Li was originally a thief who killed officials and rebelled, he could only blame the head of the previous magistrate, no matter how those Qiu Ba harmed the people, it had nothing to do with Ghost Li.
As a local parent official, although he does not need to be held responsible for the killing of the official by Ghost Li, he will inevitably not escape responsibility for such a thing as a thief under his rule.
"Alas, if I knew this, I shouldn't have come to Yishui County in the first place!"
Ding Zhixian sat in the courtyard, sighed for a long time, and poured bitter wine into his stomach one by one.
Master Song, who was on the other side of the table, was also a little drunk, and sighed in a low voice:
"I persuaded Dong Weng at the beginning, so many people refused to come, so I knew that it was dangerous, Dong Weng insisted on Bo this, what's the use of complaining now?"
"Changping, is it really impossible to think about it?"
"It's hard!" Master Song also had a big head, "These days, several people have come to the Yamen to come out, saying that the Li Ghost has captured Yushan and is attacking the Quartet. ”
"They said it was ordinary people, but I asked Li Dutou privately, these people are the leaders of the surrounding cottages, and they are angry because their own cottages were destroyed by Li Ghost."
"From those people, I know that there are hundreds of soldiers under Ghost Li now, and they are well-trained, and even the more than 1,000 young men who are united by the mountains are not his opponents."
"Dong Weng, you think, if he didn't want to rebel, how could he be so calculating?"
"What's more, where did all his weapons and armor come from?"
"Behind this, is there any family that is secretly supporting?"
"The capital is like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate, how many displaced people will be produced by this comb, and how many land will be annexed?"
"Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it!"
Master Song shook his head and sighed, poured another glass of wine for himself, and drank it.
Ding Zhixian's body was like a sifting chaff, obviously frightened by Master Song's words just now.
"Changping, don't dare to say this!"
"Don't worry, Dong Weng is the only one here, you and I are here, and these words come out of my mouth and into your ears, and I will definitely not say it to others."
Ding Zhixian trembled for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came over and asked in a low voice:
"Changping, if it's really as you said, doesn't that mean that there is a master behind this Li ghost?"
"If we can find out the master behind him and make peace with him, won't we be able to appease him for a while?"
"As long as he doesn't rebel during my term of office, no matter what he does, I can secretly give it convenience."
"As long as I finish this county, I will have nothing to do with me in the future."
After listening to Master Song, he was stunned by his master's words, and after opening his mouth for a long time, he muttered:
"Dong Weng, I'm just guessing, it's not accurate, maybe I don't know it!"
"This kind of thing, it's better to believe it than not to believe it!" Ding Zhixian's eyes flickered, and he was already convinced in his heart.
"Besides, that Ghost Li is just a splash, how dare he do something big, it's not a dog fighting people, someone is going to do it for him?"
As soon as he thought that there was a way to keep his official hat, Ding Zhixian's brain immediately overclocked, which was faster than the speed of the palace test.
"The owner who secretly manipulated Ghost Li must be from this county!"
"According to the investigation, that Li Ghost has never been out of this county, and in the past, he only ran errands for some nobles, so he couldn't say that he was caught by a nobleman and took him to do this kind of thing."
"Those blades and armor must have been given by the nobles behind Ghost Li, otherwise he would be a killer, where would he get so much good equipment?"
The more Ding Zhixian thought about it, the more it made sense.
"If Ghost Li starts an incident, the first to suffer from the disaster is this county, and many gentry will definitely suffer from it at that time.
"If I am the one behind it, I will definitely find an excuse to leave the county for refuge when the incident is about to start, and then come back to set off a new round of land annexation after the court quells the rebellion."
"I only need to find out which gentry the previous magistrate had a bad relationship with, and whether any gentry has quietly left the county recently, to know who is behind the scenes."
Ding Zhixian was happily analyzing, and suddenly the little guy outside the door came to report.
"Master, a guest came to visit, claiming to be an inspector from the state, and his name was Liang Wanshen."
