Spring comes and winter, it is a few years.

The Great Wei Dynasty is even more stormy, successive years of famine, all over the village gathered people to make trouble, have entered the mountains for the Kou, the government is to send troops to suppress, the villagers are for a bite of food to enter the mountains for the Kou, even regret their lives, they know that they can not resist the Great Wei army, that is, you come and I scatter, you go and I gather.

The Great Wei army was helpless in the face of such a cunning bandit, and the quick knife slashed on the cotton, and there was nowhere to use it.

Above the court, the Son of Heaven alchemy and does not ask about world affairs, and the affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty are decided by one person - Zhang Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Now, it is that Zhang Yi has the ability to reach the sky, and he is also busy, and the entire Zhang Mansion is lit up, and the Ming Dynasty ministers are guarding the Zhang Mansion day and night, waiting for dispatch.

Disaster relief, banditry, quelling chaos, and conscription were ordered to fly from Zhang's mansion to the four seas of Kyushu.

Zhang Yi sat at the desk, his face full of anger, threw a volume of secret reports in the lobby, and drank: "I have an army of 10,000 in the Great Wei Dynasty, and I can't even take down a group of anti-thieves who have gathered into a crowd in three months. ”

The civil and military officials standing around were silent, and they all looked down at their toes.

"Someone came, with the military department squire Lang Wu Daofu, immediately set off to Qingzhou to command the whole army, and exterminate the thieves within half a month, if he can't take it, let him not return to Beijing. ”

"Escort Yang Shuo back to Beijing, imprisoned, pending trial. ”

Qingzhou was originally near the sea, Qingzhou for several years, frequent disasters, the people are not able to make a living, coupled with the damage of this year's typhoon, so that hundreds of thousands of houses have been destroyed, the fertile land is even more uncollectible, the government came to collect taxes, the people have no choice but to revolt, against the government.

The people gathered tens of thousands of people in a short period of time, relying on the favorable terrain of the mountains and the favorable location to fight with the army led by Yang Shuo, the town guard of Qingzhou, for several months.

The anti-thieves here are huge, and there is a leading response in the Great Wei, and for a time all the states and localities have followed suit, and the government has been powerless to suppress it, if the anti-thieves cannot be quickly eliminated, the Great Wei is in danger.

In another month, it will be winter, the snow will cover the mountains, the roads will be icy, it will be difficult for the army to march, and it will be even more difficult to exterminate the thieves, how can Zhang Yi not be angry.

Imperial City.

In the back garden of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Yi stood in the pavilion, watching the carp in the lake play back and forth, and suddenly a robe was draped on his body, "Master, it's winter, be careful of the wind and cold." ”

Zhang Yi knew that it was his favorite concubine, and gently covered the jade hand around his waist, soft and warm.

"Why are you worried, you are now one person above ten thousand people, the Son of Heaven is not in power, and the master is the first person in the world. The concubine pulled Zhang Yi to sit down.

"Although the old man is the first assistant of the Great Wei and is in charge of the Great Wei, but there are many things that are beyond his power, and now the people in various states are changing, gathering people to make trouble, and disasters, all of which are major events, and they are not handled properly, and the Great Wei is in danger, how can the old man not be worried. ”

"Didn't the Qingzhou People's Rebellion be wiped out by the martial arts master in one fell swoop, and the master is still worried about it?" Although the concubine did not participate in the affairs of the court, she also heard a few words in the house.

"Only one Qingzhou has been exterminated, I don't know how many such Qingzhou are dormant in the dark, killing the first bird, temporarily deterring the rest of the anti-thieves, a little relaxation, these anti-thieves will raise their heads again, like the tide receding and returning, how can they be wiped out. ”

"These are just small fights, what worries the old man the most is the generals and Wang Hou who are guarding the side, and the most important of them is Wei Zhao, the eldest son of Emperor Liang who guards the north. ”

Although the concubine is a little smart, how can she understand these policies for governing the country and the country, the concubine does not covet the way of governing the country, she only hopes to accompany Zhang Yi to serve the first person in the world, and she has a place to live, and slowly controls the power of the Zhang Mansion.

On the pipeline from Qingzhou to Jinghuang, a group of convoys moved forward slowly.

Headed by a tall horse, wearing a black robe, with a resolute complexion, a black beard like a steel needle, the whole person is not angry and self-assured, this person is the military department squire Wu Daofu, half a month ago just exterminated the Qingzhou anti-thieves, and now escorted back to Beijing.

The high-headed horse under him is a different species of the flood in ancient times, the whole body is as black as ink, the head is a single horn, red as snow, four hooves are like fire, and it travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights like a bag to get things. This kind of alien species is not afraid of encountering the overlord of the mountains and forests, and the people who can have this alien species in the Great Wei Dynasty are all people with outstanding military achievements or wealthy families.

This pair of people and horses exceeded thousands of people, dozens of prisoner cars were in the middle of the team, and the prisoners in the prisoner cars were the leaders and leaders of the Qingzhou anti-thieves, each of whom was unclothed, hungry, and hungry, and the first person was the head prisoner Zhang Sanyang, who was sitting in the prisoner car, and he could not see the embarrassment of being a prisoner at all.

The cold wind blew, and the chill was in the bones, "Everyone step up, we must rush back to Jinghuang before the heavy snow closes the road, so as to avoid trouble." Takemido shouted at the front of the group, his voice piercing steadily through the cold wind.

This person is one of the few people in the Great Wei who has both civil and military skills, Wen can write Anbang, and Wu can be a talent for Ma Dingguo, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era.

On the day Wu Daofu received Zhang Yi's military order, he rushed to Qingniu Mountain in Qingzhou at night, where Zhang Sanyang led the thieves to gather, and tens of thousands of people hid in Qingniu Mountain.

This Qingniu Mountain is a mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles, the ancient woods in the mountain are deep, and wild beasts are infested, legend has it that there used to be a monster of a green cow into the essence here, it was called Qingniu Mountain, but no one has seen this bull demon, they all think that it is a false rumor, how can there be a demon in the world.

This mountain range is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the anti-thieves are familiar with the terrain here, and tightly hold several entrances into the mountain, making it difficult for the Wei army led by Yang Shuo to capture.

Wu Daofu walked straight to the marching tent, looked at Yang Shuo, who was already waiting again, and drank: "Come on, take Yang Shuo, this person is afraid of battle in front of the battle, Qingniu Mountain can't be attacked for a long time, the first assistant has an order, resign from his position, escort back to Beijing, and wait for processing." "A few people walked out from behind Wu Daofu and took down Yang Shuo.

Yang Shuo couldn't attack it for a long time, he knew this earlier, and he didn't defend it, and he frequently shouted in his mouth: "Thank you for the grace of the Holy Lord." "I didn't say a word about Zhang Yi Shoufu.

"Come, pass on my order, all the soldiers above the rank of commander of a thousand commanders, come to the big tent and assemble quickly. The herald took the order and went out.

Wu Daofu has already understood the terrain of Qingniu Mountain on the way here, and knows that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if he adopts the same method as Yang Shuo, even if he exterminates the anti-thief, he will also suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses, killing a thousand enemies, and losing eight hundred, Wu Daofu is unwilling.

It's late autumn, the autumn is crisp, the climate is dry, if you use fire, it's a strange trick.

The soldiers of the whole army above the commander of a thousand men waited for the order of the new general in the big tent, and the martial artist listened to the soldiers about the fire attack, and discussed with the soldiers whether this method was feasible, and the soldiers thought that this method could be tried and could work wonders.

Wu Daofu sent scouts to find out where the leader of the anti-thieves, Zhang Sanyang, and the rest were located, and closely monitored their movements, and their location was in the direction of the fire attack.

One soldier was sent to keep a close eye on the direction of the wind during the days to promote the fire, and the rest of the soldiers collected hay and firewood, and on the day of the fire, the whole army held the passes and killed the rebels.
