Chapter 173 The Tragic Sweep

After coming back and resting for the night, Li Wuchang decided to go to the jungle tomorrow to sweep the jungle.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun tortured some of the approximate locations from the heads of the miscellaneous forces a few days ago, and then Jiang Minglun took Hu Benlu and a few veterans who were familiar with the terrain to secretly investigate, and sure enough, they found a lot of villages nearby.

After the news of the war spread, many small villages fled, leaving only an empty village, of course, there are many diehards, entrenched next to a few Zhuangzi nearby, it seems that the previous captives did not lie, and the surrounding area is really full of small forces, Jiang Minglun alone found more than a dozen, not including those empty villages.

Zhao Xun made a plan based on various situations.

First near and then far, thunder means, killing chickens and monkeys, digging three feet into the ground.

Of course, there are specific details, or the obscene and obscene, the one that joined forces to crack down.

Because the number of each miscellaneous force is small, and its strength is much worse than that of the Fire Wolf Gang, Li Wuchang, the "master of the Praetorian Guard", will not come forward for the time being, and will be led by Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun.

As soon as Hu Benlu heard that it was going to be swept away, he hurriedly spread the news, and by telling each other, it didn't take long for the entire Zhuangzi to know.

Last time, some people were injured, and some people were tired, of course, they had to continue to select people, Zhao Xun originally planned to select some veterans who were relatively healthy and not too old, after all, this was to suppress bandits, although the plan was thorough, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents.

But what I didn't expect was that there were a lot of people who wanted to participate in the anti-bandit operation, not only a bunch of veterans, but also many old people and children who had not yet reached adulthood.

So the registration situation is extremely hot.

There were a lot of people coming to the big school field in front of the Zhuang's mansion, and at a glance, there were hundreds of people, accounting for a small half of the Zhuangzi.

"Won't all the men in the Zhuangzi come?" muttered the fat bear.

Hu Benlu on the side smiled and said: "Brother Xiong, that day we brought the lair of the Fire Wolf Gang, and those guys heard that the people we participated in the suppression of bandits each gave a lot of silver taels, and they all beat their chests and stomped their feet, complaining that my Lao Hu didn't call them that day, so this time I told them the news, and one by one they came in a hurry." ”

Fat Bear sighed: "That day it was the Fire Wolf Gang, the strength is strong, we all worked hard, so there are more silver and two shots, this time it is to exterminate some miscellaneous forces, the money will definitely be issued, but there will definitely not be so much." ”

Hu Benlu didn't care, and said with a smile: "My old Hu also told them, it doesn't matter how much they say, even if they don't pay money, they should be, as long as they can exterminate the bandits, there was no master to lead the team before, but now it's different, there are two masters, Brother Xun and Brother Jiang." ”

After a pause, he sighed: "Brother Xiong, don't laugh at us, we all have no money to make trouble, you have seen it, there is still a lot of time for the crops to be harvested, even if it is harvested, it is estimated that there is not much harvest in this drought, and most of the families have not been able to open the pot, fortunately, a good farmer has come this time, and there is finally some hope, everyone is looking forward to the owner coming earlier, and they are all worried about the work...... Eh, Brother Xiong, the owner of the village will give everyone a job, right?"

Hu Benlu said miserably, even rough people like Fat Bear felt a little touched, coupled with what he saw and heard some time ago, he comforted: "Don't worry, the owner of the village is what he says, but he must first exterminate the bandits." ”

After a pause, he said: "Brother Hu, although this is the case, but we are going to suppress bandits, it is not child's play, do you think you can talk to everyone, leave some veterans who have been on the battlefield and are relatively healthy, and other old people or children, just persuade them to go back, okay?"

Hu Benlu nodded, came to the high steps of the Zhuang Lord's Mansion, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." ”

He was quite dignified in Zhuangzi, so as soon as he spoke, everyone immediately calmed down.

Hu Benlu continued: "Brother Xiong said, he has seen everyone's enthusiasm, and he will definitely tell the owner, but this time it is to suppress bandits, it is not child's play, the old guys who participated in the last operation to suppress the fire wolf gang can stay if they are not injured, and then select a few veterans who can fight, and the rest will ......."

Before I finished speaking, the next part of the pot exploded.

"Lao Hu, you can't do this, I see that those people were tired last time, and this time it's time for us to go. ”

"I'm not tired, I killed a mongrel last time, and I can kill a few more this time. ”

"Lao Qin, just rely on you, a three-legged cat, let's take a break this time and give the old brothers a chance. ”

"Lao Hu, you didn't call it brother last time, brother, I don't blame you, but this time I must go. ”

"And me, I am also very good at fighting, when I was in Liangzhou, I cut down a Tubo man with one sword. ”

"Why can Mo Da Niu, who doesn't have any martial arts, go, but I can't go?"

"I didn't say you couldn't go, besides, what's wrong with me Mo Da Niu, Quan Ge'er and Chang Hao's two little dolls are gone, why can't I go Mo Da Niu? Although I couldn't kill a mongrel last time, I also slashed a few times, and the blood soar was three feet high. ”

"Those two little dolls have high martial arts, Brother Xiong said that they want them to be with the owner of the village in the future, can you compare with the owner?"

"Brother Xiong, come on, you are kind and fair, I believe you will deal with it fairly, or let Brother Xun and Brother Jiang come forward. ”

The fat bear looked at the messy scene, and heard the evaluation of being kind and doing things fairly, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to come to Hu Benlu's side, and said loudly: "It's the meaning of the owner, he doesn't want Zhuangzi to suppress a bandit and there are casualties, last time it was so smooth because there were masters of the Praetorian Guard to help, but this time there was no more, although there are two masters of Brother Xun and Brother Jiang to take the lead, but everyone still has to be careful, so we must choose some people who are in good health and can fight, and I hope that the uncles and brothers will give me a thin face for the fat bear." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Last time, the fire wolf helped to get some copper plates, and the owner of the village will send some to every household, just right, I think every family should have someone coming, let's line up, how about sending copper plates while picking people?"

"Since it is the owner's will, it is natural to obey. ”

"Then do as Brother Xiong said. ”

"Brother Xiong's face still has to be given, let's line up. ”

"Queue, queue!"

Fat Bear breathed a sigh of relief, and organized everyone to line up with Hu Benlu, and Lu Desheng and a group of brothers had already begun to carry bags of copper plates.

In the end, Fat Bear and Hu Benlu sat down at a table and began to pick people.

Basically, Hu Benlu opened his mouth to explain the other party's martial arts and physical condition, the fat bear clapped the board, and then the copper plate, without counting, it was held with both hands, three hands per household.

Hu Benlu also helped, but he was occasionally disliked, saying that his hands were not as big as the fat bear's hands, and he was angry and blew his beard and stared, and the fat bear would catch the other party a little more at that time.

The selection work went relatively smoothly, and those who were not selected went home happily with copper plates, and those who were selected sat on the edge of the school field and waited for orders.

There are also episodes.

"Uncle He, are you Gui Geng this year? I think you have to be seventy years old, and your life is rare for seventy years, so let's rest, and leave this kind of thing to the juniors. The fat bear looked at Uncle He, who was seventy years old in front of him, and persuaded with a smile.

Uncle He said excitedly: "Who is seventy? I am only sixty-seven, and I am going to suppress bandits." ”

The fat bear said: "Okay, sixty-seven, let's stop making trouble, forget about the bandits, in case you flash your old waist, the owner of the village will have to scold me, come, take these three copper plates and go back to rest." ”

Then he took three handfuls of copper coins into Uncle He's bag.

Uncle He just didn't follow and said that he was going to suppress the bandits.

Hu Benlu secretly told Fat Xiong that Uncle He's second son and eldest grandson were killed by bandits.

The fat bear looked at the excited Uncle He, patted his chest and said, "Uncle He, you can rest assured, it is the intention of the owner of the village to wipe out all the bandits near Zhuangzi." ”

Then he took two handfuls of copper plates and put them in Uncle He's bag, and said with a smile: "These two handfuls are my little bear's filial piety to your Uncle He, you can rest assured that there will be no problem with the bandits." ”

Hu Benlu took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Uncle He, don't you believe what the owner said, besides, the owner said that he would select some sturdy men to suppress the bandits, I think your old man should not go against the owner's will." ”

Uncle He then grunted down with the bag.

After picking for a long time, I finally picked a lot of people, including many veterans and some young people, adding up to more than 150 people.

Fifty of them formed two teams and patrolled the Zhuangzi to prevent the bandit dogs from jumping over the wall and running to the Zhuangzi to spread wild, led by Lu Desheng and Cao Hao.

The rest were led by Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun and entered the dense forest to shovel through one by one.

Li Wuchang will not go, he will go to the muddy land to take a closer look, and then look at other mountains, and then draw the planning map of Zhuangzi, and strive to make reasonable use of each place.

The action of suppressing the bandits was very tragic, but the tragedy was for the bandits, and the people in the Zhuangzi were all happy.

It's basically the same set, when he found the bandits' den, Zhao Xun personally went out, secretly figured out the staffing of the bandits, and then came back to discuss all kinds of obscene methods with everyone.

Arson, sneak attack, siege or outright crushing.

These miscellaneous forces have seen the tragic situation of the Fire Wolf Gang before, some of them ran away directly, and some of them were lucky, thinking that after this rumor, they should be fine.

The miscellaneous forces were already trembling, the number was small, and there were no masters, and as soon as they were impacted, they became a plate of scattered sand, and they panicked.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun took the lead and rushed directly into the bandit group, as if they were in a no-man's land.

The veterans on the Zhuangzi have experience, shouting to kill for days, forming a team to harvest in an orderly manner.

Hu Benlu pretended to be addicted, and every time he impacted, he shouted that Du Chengye of Dali Temple was also, and he was always scared of the bandits.

The fat bear is also a clever character, learning from Hu Benlu, every time he calls me a Xiong general under Xue Tingshi, holding a big axe in his hand, coupled with his reckless appearance, it really has a bit of a tiger and a tiger's mighty taste, in fact, every time he picks up leaks, and follows Zhai Changping to make up the knife.

Every time after sweeping a bandit's den, the fat bear beckoned a group of old guys, and played that kind of digging three feet into the ground, although most of the bandits' dens did not have any good things, but a little copper money, iron, porcelain still have, all moved away, looted after a fire burned, more than bandits.

After a few sweeps, the news spread, and most of the remaining bandits ran away, calling it too vicious.

It made the fat bear very angry, and swept a few empty bandit dens, and those bandits took all the money and property, and they couldn't even see a few iron tools, which was really a failure.

The planned ten-day sweep took less than five days, and there were no bandits in the vicinity, and the bandits' dens were burned down.
