Chapter 46: The Imperial Court Wants to Recruit Peace

The official army was wiped out, and such a tragedy suddenly shocked the entire Yizhou.

This is the first time that the Yushan thieves have been taken seriously by a group of officials.

Yushan thieves have also done a lot of big cases before, but this kind of "big" is only at the level of ordinary people, and it is just a trivial matter in the eyes of officials at the state level.

What's more, Liang Wanshen's defeat and death before was also accused of a remnant by Ding Zhixian for committing a mutiny, which has nothing to do with the Yushan thieves at all.

But this time it's different, Mo Hongnai, who led the troops, is a battle-hardened general, and he has a strange art, and all the defeated soldiers are veterans who have seen blood, even if they are inferior to the forbidden army, but the combat effectiveness is second to none in the entire Yizhou Xiang Army.

If it weren't for the fact that Yishui County had taken a lot of joints, the state capital would not have wasted troops on a small cottage!

But the result surprised everyone.

The most important thing is that from the mouths of the routs who fled back from the front line, they learned that the leader of those Yushan thieves was actually a fierce general, who could be called the reincarnation of the overlord, and some people even said that "the sky kills the stars and descends to earth" in order to shirk their responsibilities.

Joke!

There is only one star in this world, Wenqu Xing, how can there be any heavenly killer star!

But even if this group of people exaggerated, the leading Li Ghost dared to charge the battle alone, surrounded by a large army, and beheaded Mo Hong and many generals, it must be a fierce general.

This is very embarrassing, if even Mo Hong is not an opponent, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a general who can kill this thief in Yizhou.

What should I do if I can't win?

Simple!

Just give him a little official to do!

Since he killed Mo Hong, then he should be a dog instead of Mo Hong!

When the time comes, find an opportunity to throw him to the Song-Liao border and fend for himself.

A group of bigwigs quickly reached a consensus, and then quickly wrote a fold, and quickly sent it to the capital, just waiting for the permission of the imperial court, and then began to recruit security.

After this is done, the state will leave it alone.

In their opinion, no thief can resist the temptation of Zhao'an.

No matter how heroic and invincible he is, he is just a reckless man who has not been taught by a saint, and as long as he throws some scraps and burns it coldly, he will obediently wag his tail.

There is nothing to do in the state, but Yishui County is panicking.

Originally, those gentry were still distressed about the matter of suppressing bandits, and planned to turn around and give Ding Zhixian a good look.

They hid in the county during this time, and their understanding of the threat of Ghost Li only stayed in the mouths of others, and they did not empathize.

And the dilapidated city walls of the county town brought them an illusory sense of security, and they always thought that it was impossible for Li Ghost to enter the county town to find trouble for them.

But before that, Li Ghost broke into the county seat and went on a killing spree in Yipinxuan, killing and injuring dozens of gentry that night, which frightened everyone.

They finally realized that the defense of the county seat was completely fictitious for Ghost Li, they could come and go whenever they wanted, and they would kill whoever they wanted.

It makes them feel unsafe at all.

Before, it was Ding Zhixian who forced them to pay money, and later they chased Ding Zhixian and asked him to urge the imperial court to send troops to suppress the bandits as soon as possible.

After a long wait, the imperial soldiers finally came.

The gentry finally heard some good news, but before they were happy for two days, they heard the bad news that the bandit army was attacked by Yushan thieves halfway, and the whole army was wiped out under the control of the army.

Is this worth it?

Even the reinforcements sent by the state government can't defeat the Yushan thieves, so in this Yishui County, who can compete with the Yushan thieves?

Without anyone in tandem, a group of gentry immediately rushed to the yamen of the county magistrate and came to find Ding Zhixian.

The angry gentry surrounded Ding Zhixian and complained for a long time, saying everything.

"How did the imperial court raise such a bunch of waste!"

"There is a lesson from Liang Wanshen's past, why didn't the county Zun explain it clearly to the state and let the state send elite soldiers and strong generals to come?"

"The bandits have all been handed over, and this bandit can't be suppressed!"

"The bandits under the rule of the county are so arrogant, I am afraid that the county will not be able to escape the blame. If it weren't for all the family business here, the old man would have moved his family a long time ago! ”

"Don't be discouraged by the county, it's better to ask for help from the state again!"

In the face of all kinds of threats and temptations in and out of this group of people's words, Ding Zhixian was also very helpless.

Since the last time Ghost Li made a big fuss in Yipinxuan and was carried out of the pile of dead by Li Yun, Ding Zhixian was frightened, and he contracted the wind cold, and he has not been well for so many days, and now he is holding on to the sick body to listen to the complaints of this group of people.

This group of people is afraid, isn't he afraid?

In the past, he was not afraid, because he had a tacit understanding with Mrs. Liu, so Ghost Li never came to attack.

Didn't you see that Li Ghost killed countless people that day, and he didn't kill him?

That's his confidence!

But the problem is that now that the official army is coming to suppress the bandits again, how could Mrs. Liu not know about it in the state city.

This means that the tacit understanding between the two sides has been destroyed by himself, if the state army really succeeds in suppressing the bandits, then Mrs. Liu can only grit her teeth and admit it, but who knows that this state army is such a waste!

What made Ding Zhixian even more frightened was that the Yushan thieves ambushed the reinforcements from the state on the way, and the problem came.

Where did you get the news of this Elm Mountain thief?

Is it the information that Mrs. Liu sent to the secret?

Strictly speaking, this kind of thing is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan, but the struggle between the gentry is already very cruel.

Although the Liu family is not very powerful, he is also a member of the gentry, as long as he is not caught, there is no evidence, no one can touch him!

Even if Ding Zhixian wants to break the net, he has no chance.

This kind of thing Mrs. Liu dares to do, what else does he dare not do?

I am afraid that if I break through the county seat and kill people, it will be overnight.

Now if anyone present wants Ghost Li to die the most, it must be Ding Zhixian.

The other gentry Li Ghost may not be killed, but he, a "traitor" who betrayed the covenant, Mrs. Liu will definitely not let go.

After all, Ding Zhixian is another insider in Mrs. Liu's plan, if he is alive and becomes a witness on another day, not to mention the blame of the imperial court, I am afraid that all the gentry will be able to eat the Liu family alive.

"Okay, okay, don't urge the gentry again."

Ding Zhixian pressed his hands weakly, interrupted everyone's complaints, endured the headache, and motioned Master Song to get the four treasures of the study.

"The county immediately wrote an official letter asking the state for help, asking the state to send another army."

"This time, we must succeed in one fell swoop and completely exterminate the Yushan thief!"

With the help of Master Song, Ding Zhixian hastily wrote a distress letter, used the seal in front of everyone, and assigned the officials to send it to the state city on a fast horse, and the group of gentry left in a huff.

After three days of anxious waiting, the county government finally waited for news from the state, and there was no reply, only a reply.

Ding Zhixian was lying sick in bed, with a towel on his forehead to relieve fever, and when he saw the reply, he hurriedly struggled to get up, opened the letter, took a closer look, and skipped all the nonsense, only to see the word "Zhao'an" written on it at the end, and was immediately ecstatic, sweating, jumping up from the couch, laughing, and the disease healed without medicine.
