Chapter 122 Using the Military

On New Year's Eve, there were bursts of firecrackers outside the government, and children shouted endlessly, as if waiting for every sound.

Wang Shouren sat alone in the room and waited quietly, but it was definitely not the sound of firecrackers outside the door. Suddenly, the Chinese officer Lei Ji came with Lu Ke in shackles. Lei Ji said, "Captain, Lu Ke brought it."

Wang Shouren saw it and said, "Okay, hurry up and open the shackles for him. Lei Ji asked Lu Ke to sit down and then took out the key. Wang Shouren immediately took the key and opened the flings for Lu Ke in person. Although Lu Ke knew the reason of the matter, he still couldn't help crying when he saw Wang Shouren squatting down to open the fern.

Wang Shouren said, "General Lu, you have suffered. I have made amends for you."

Lu Ke hurriedly said, "The governor looks up to the last general, which is the honor of the last general. Where the last general is necessary, the governor only orders.

Wang Shouren said, "Have you recovered from your injury?"

Lu Ke smiled and said, "This time I learned the board of the governor's mansion - it turned out that it was just a little skin and skin trauma. Half a month, it will be fine early."

Wang Shouren asked, "Is it really all right? Can you ride a horse?"

Lu Ke said, "No problem. If you have anything, please let me know."

Wang Shouren said, "Now Chi Zhongrong and a group of sharp bandits have been deceived into Ganzhou City by me. They won't go back until the eighth day of the first lunar month. Now Litou's alert has been lax, and the opportunity is rare. I order you to quickly ride back to Longchuan and mobilize the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack Jiulian Shanzhai from the south. The governor led the people and horses to raid Litou Shanzhai from the north, and then join your department and strive to take down all the two big villages of Chi Zhongrong at once. The time is agreed at 3 o'clock in the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month. There must be no mistake, do you understand?"

Lu Ke arched his hand and said, "I will understand and guarantee to complete the task."

Wang Shouren said, "I have sent your friend Gao Rui to Longchuan the day before yesterday. With this secret order, he will help Zheng Zhigao gather the team first, and wait for you to go back and order the three armies to be launched. Otherwise, your subordinates may not be able to arrive on time if the team is suddenly gathered during the Spring Festival.

Lu Ke said with admiration, "The governor's magic tricks are admirable. The last general is leaving now."

Wang Shouren said, "I have prepared some fast horses for you. This is 450 miles away from Longchuan. Once you get out of the city, you will not hesitate to whip the horse and run the horse to death. You have dinner here first, and I'll ask Leizhong's military to send you out of the city. Be careful not to expose your whereabouts.

Lu Ke said, "The last general has already had dinner in prison. You can start now."

Wang Shouren hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh. Well, Lei Ji, bring a glass of wine. We will go for General Lu.

Lei Ji brought three glasses of wine. Each of the three people holds a cup in their hands.

Wang Shouren said, "I wish the general a good journey and success!" When it's done, I'll make up for this New Year's Eve dinner for you. Come on, do it!"

Lu Ke's eyes flashed with tears and she drank the glass of wine excitedly. ...(To be continued, don't miss tomorrow!)

The evening of the fourth day of the first lunar month; the inner room of the Admiral's office.

Wang Shouren whispered with Lei Ji, Long Guang, Xiao Yu and other trusted staff with a grim look. After the arrangement, Lei Ji asked, "Captain, do you want to live or die?"

Wang Shouren was stunned and hesitated, saying, "Well, you go and prepare first. This question has been settled for an hour, and I'll tell you.

"Yes!" Several staff dispersed and quietly walked out of the inner room, each busy.

Wang Shouren scattered on the corridor of the government without purpose. He hesitated whether to capture Chi Zhongrong and the group of bandits alive or annihilate them in one fell swoop. As he walked through a wing, he only heard a woman's sobs. Wang Shouren saw that Zhang Yeer, a girl rescued from Tonggang Village, turned out to be Zhang Yeer came to the admiral's government to do chores for more than a month. Wang Shouren occasionally saw her. Because of the busy military affairs, he almost ignored her existence. Today, Wang Shouren couldn't help but wonder when he saw Zhang Yeer crying alone in a small room and asked, "Ye Er, why are you crying during the Spring Festival? Do you miss your parents again?"

Ye Er stood up and said, "It's not because of this. The slave family met several bandits who were recruited because they went to the street to buy red candles in the afternoon. When they saw that the slave family was alone, they came to flirt with the slave family. The slave family turned around and ran away. He accidentally fell down and lost the money to buy the red candle. Brother Wang Xiang scolded me for deducting me from my monthly money, so I cried with grievances.

"Oh, that's it." Wang Shouren was surprised and asked, "Do these righteous people who have been recruited often cause trouble on the street recently?"

"Is it more than often? It is harassing the people every day. He cursed the street, didn't pay for shopping, flirted with good women, and didn't even pay attention to the patrol officers and soldiers. The people all said..."

What did you say? Just say it, I don't blame you."

Ye Er summoned up her courage and said, "The people all said: 'Wang Dudu is also a faint official. Sooner or later, it will be a disaster to recruit such a group of bandits and robbers.' He also said, "The governor of the king is a bodhisattva's heart, which is so indisjuncable."

"Oh? Is that really what you said?" Wang Shouren said in surprise.

"I dare not lie. If you don't believe it, you can ask Brother Wang Xiang."

Wang Shouren said slowly, "Ye Er, I believe it. Thank you for helping me solve a big problem. A handsome man can't be too benevolent.

"Master, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing. Go and tell Wang Xiang tomorrow that you don't want to compensate for the red candle money, and you will be rewarded with a hanging of money.

"Really!" Ye'er jumped up happily. Only then did Wang Shouren find that Ye Er was beautiful and beautiful, a little like his mother Zheng when she was young.

"Remember, don't mention anything else, you know?"

"The maidservant remembered it. Mr. Xie

......

Wang Shouren returned to the inner room and said to Wang Zhen, the servant on duty at the door, "Go and call Lei Zhongjun here."

The fifth day of the first lunar month is approaching noon; Xiangfu Palace in Ganzhou Prefecture.

A dozen round tables have been set up, and there is an extremely rich banquet on the table. Chi Zhongrong led 70 or 80 bandit leaders into the Zhaitang Hall of Xiangfu Palace. Long Guang greeted him and said to Chi Zhongrong with a smile, "Chi leader, no one is allowed to play tricks or helpers today. Let's compare and see who is massive. Last time you made me miserable."

Chi Zhongrong laughed and said, "Okay! Just compare. Mr. Long is huge, and Mr. Chi sincerely admires it. Let's compete again today.

Lei Ji said aside, "If you want to compare, don't pull me. Otherwise, if you drink it all down, who will be responsible for bringing you wine and dishes?

The bandits laughed when they heard this.

The banquet was held, accompanied by Long Guang and several drinkable government officials, and Chi Zhongrong and the bandits drank very vigorously. After a while, several government officials vomited and fell down and were carried out. Long Guang drank a large bowl of wine and pointed to Chen Huozhen and said, "No, people are in a hurry. I have to solve it. It's agreed that no one is allowed to slip away. I want to fight with you. After saying that, the cat ran out. The bandits at my desk laughed when they saw it.

After a while, Chen Huozhen, who was half drunk, found that the officials who accompanied the wine had disappeared. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and said, "Brother, where are you? Where is the person who accompanied the wine in the government?

Chi Zhongrong, who was nibbling on pig's feet, raised his head and was stunned, "Yes, why did you pee?" A table of bandits put down their bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, the armored commander Yu En strode into the Zhaitang and said, "On the order of the governor, catch the thief and the surrender will not die!"

Chi Zhongrong found that something was wrong. He waved his hand and threw half of the pig's feet in his hand at Yu En and shouted, "Brothers, you have been fooled and rushed out!"

The bandit leaders immediately pulled out the knives and daggers around them, and some picked up benches and were ready to rush out. In an hour, a rain of arrows shot from outside the window and the attic. The bandits in the front row, such as Chi Zhongrong, Chen Huoyan and Chi Zhong'an, all fell to the ground. Some were swallowed on the spot, and some were still moaning painfully. Some bandit leaders still wanted to rush out, and another rain of arrows came, and more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground.

At the same time, a large group of officers and soldiers with swords rushed in from all directions and surrounded the Zhaitang of Xiangfu Palace. More than a dozen feared bandits knelt down and raised their hands high. Another group of bandits who still wanted to resist were quickly solved by the well-prepared officers and soldiers cutting melons and vegetables. The scene was full of blood in the Zhaitang, and the scene was terrible.

Lei Ji came in with a sword and picked up the dying Chi Zhongrong from the ground. Lei Ji asked coldly, "What else do you have to say, surnamed Chi?"

Chi Zhongrong gasped and said, "Rei, you don't walk morally. I've been fooled by you."

Lei Ji said, "What kind of morality do you need to talk about evil bandits like you!" After saying that, a sword pierced his heart and ended up Chi Zhongrong's life.

Yu En said, "Take it away!" The remaining bandits were tied up by ropes and escorted out of Xiangfu Palace one by one.

In the evening of the same day, Wang Shouren was dressed in a uniform and rode on a horse. Lei Ji, a Chinese officer, came to report: "The governor, all the thieves have been solved, and the number of people has been numbered, and none of them has been missed."

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Leave the aftermath to Xiao Yu and Long Guang. Please be in the list and get ready to go.

All command Yu En arched Shi Li and said, "The last general sent people to secretly inform Nankang Prefecture, Longnan County, Nankang County, Xinfeng County and other departments the day before yesterday. They have been ordered to leave and will arrive at the designated location on time.

Wang Shouren turned around and said to the magistrate Xing Xing, "Lord Xing, the matter of guarding the city is entrusted to you."

The magistrate Xing Xun said, "The governor is assured that the subordinates must do their duty to ensure that they are safe."

"Okay, General Yu, order to go."

Yu En shouted, "All departments will listen to the order, roll up the flag and go!"

More than 2,000 standard battalion officers quietly started. ......

In the early morning of the seventh lunar month; in the hill outside the Litou cottage.

The sky was still dark, and Wang Shouren and several garrison generals who arrived earlier met. Wang Shouren asked, "What's going on in Litou Cottage? Have we been noticed when we arrived?

Shufu, the county magistrate who led the team, said, "We arrived first and ambushed ten miles away from the village. According to the observation of humble positions, the stockade is lax and has no idea about the arrival of the officers and soldiers.

Wang Shouren said, "Well, please return to your command position. At three o'clock, we launched an attack at the same time.

"Yes!" Officials from all walks of life have left.

......

The sky is still very dark. Wang Shouren personally led the battalion officers and ambushed in the jungle just a stone's throw away from the Litou cottage. Guerrilla general Yao Xi led four agile soldiers to touch under the wall of Litou Village while it was dark. Seeing that there was no sentry on the wall, the five people quietly set up the ladder and climbed up. After going up, Yao Xi found that only Luo Bing, who served as a fixed sentry, was squatting there and dozing off, and did not find his arrival at all. Yao Xi held a dagger, gently came forward, and wiped it with a knife, and the Luo died silently.

After Yao Xi and the other five people went up, they hooked out of the wall with hooked ropes and hung down several ropes. Yao Xi made a move, and more than 100 commandos rushed to the wall without saying a word, grabbed the rope and climbed up. When most of the more than 100 people climbed the wall, the patrol post on the wall finally found someone raiding and shouted, "The officers and soldiers are coming!" and rushed over to stop them. Yao Xi led the commandos to jump on it and cut down the patrol post with only seven or eight people. Yao Xi led people to rush to the location of the village gate and killed the bandits guarding the village gate.

Wang Shouren waved his hand as soon as he saw more than 100 people rushing onto the wall. Yu En raised the flag, and thousands of Ming soldiers shouted and rushed out of the jungle. The bandits of all sizes in the stockade have woken up from their sleep, but it was too late and everyone panicked.

Zhaimen was occupied by the commandos led by Yao Xi. Yao Xi ordered people to open the gate, and a large number of Ming troops poured in like a tide outside the gate and quickly attacked the depth of the village. Gao Feijia, the leader of the bandit, still wanted to take back the fortress with his courage, but he was soon overwhelmed by the defeated soldiers and had to hide in a courtyard and resist.

This was a successful surprise attack, and the Ming army defeated the defenseless bandits. Some cunning bandits shouted one after another: "Run to Jiulian Cottage!" Hurry up and withdraw to Jiulian Village!" Therefore, a large number of bandits temporarily formed a team and rushed out of the south gate to break through the Jiulianshanshanzhai 70 miles away. However, not far from coming out, he was surrounded by the regiment by the officers and soldiers of various counties led by Shu Fu and others who had already been ambushed and annihilated them in one fell swoop.

Wang Shouren wore armor, pressed his sword, and observed the battle on the wall. At this time, a detective came to report: "The governor, the bandit head Gao Feijia was killed!"

"The governor, the bandit leaders Chen, Xijiu and Lai Maozai were captured alive."

"General Yao Xi's four battalions captured more than 500 bandits and bandits alive."

Wang Shouren nodded slightly, and he was satisfied with the success of the battle. What he really cares about now is whether Lu Ke and Zheng Zhigao in the south can take down Jiulianshan Village as scheduled. Suddenly, he saw Gao Rui, a thousand households with minor injuries in his right arm, running over in a hurry. Wang Shouren asked, "General Gao, how is your offensive in Jiulian Mountain going?"

Gao Rui, with a dusty face, said, "The governor, we arrived at the cottage at the northern foot of Jiulian Mountain on time, but we were found by a team of bandits who got up early to carry stones. We eliminated the bandits, but the bandits in the fortress wall were shocked, so the raid turned into a strong attack. The last general waited for incompetence and did not attack until now. Lu leader was very anxious and was organizing a commando to climb up from the side peak and attack him again.

Hearing this, Wang Shouren pondered for a moment. When he saw that the battle in the Litou cottage had basically ended, he came to his mind. He bit his ear and said, "Go quickly and tell Lu Ke that you must follow the plan to launch an attack at that time." Gao Rui nodded and said yes, turned around and ran away.

Wang Shouren ordered the guerrilla general Yao Xi to come over. Yao Xi was stained with blood. Wang Shouren said, "General Yao, you have to work hard. Please lead the commandos and the base camp to quickly change into the clothes of the bandits. The more shabby the better. Then select a few bandits who want to survive and go to the north gate of Jiulian Mountain together to try to use these bandits..."

Yao Xi understood as soon as he heard it and whispered, "The governor wants to take this opportunity to use these bandits and clothes to earn Jiulianshan'szhai door, right?"

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Govern the country right, and use the army to be surprised. Now that the general understands, let's have a try."
