Chapter 13 The suppression of bandits

Zhou Cang returned to the camp and urgently recruited the deputy general to discuss. Zhou Cang said to the deputy general, "What the father-in-law said is true. There is indeed a dangerous road behind Black Snake Mountain."

The deputy general suggested: "General, why don't you take people to sneak attack from the path tonight when the thieves are unprepared?"

Zhou Cang shook his head: "The path is extremely dangerous and does not allow the brigade to pass through. Tomorrow night, I will take 100 people to sneak attack in the dark."

When the deputy heard this, he was anxious: "There are 700 thieves and robbers. Once the adult is in a heavy siege, I'm afraid his life will be in jeopardy. Please think twice."

Zhou Cang waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more."

The deputy general was unwilling: "In this case, please bring more people to take care of it."

Zhou Cang still refused and said, "Although the path is hidden, there are many people, but it is also easy to be exposed. 100 people are enough."

After a pause, Zhou Cang said again, "Tomorrow, prepare more gongs and drums, go to the foot of the mountain to beat, and let the soldiers look like they want to attack the mountain; it's better to make the mountain thieves restless."

The deputy general was confused and said, "Why don't you hit it directly? What can you do with that mountain thief?"

Zhou Cang frowned and scolded the deputy general: "The proud soldiers will be defeated, don't be careless! You led people to tweal and attract the attention of the mountain thief; I took people to ambush the path, and when the mountain thief fell asleep, he would kill him out unprepared. Tomorrow night, if you see a fire on the top of the mountain, take people to attack the mountain quickly, and fight inside and outside to kill the mountain thieves.

The deputy general took the order, and Zhou Cang carefully selected 100 elite soldiers from the camp and went straight to the Black Snake Mountain path.

Zhou Cang led 100 people and quietly went to the thief's village and ambushed through the path with a pale face.

Thinking that if they can't break the mountain thief, they will have to return from this dangerous road, their faces become whiter and more murderous.

Zhou Cang saw a hundred elite fighting bears and was happy and muttered, "I didn't expect this path to have the effect of motivating morale. Hey hey, this group of mountain thieves deserve bad luck."

The next day, the deputy general acted according to the plan and went to the Black Snake Mountain with people and horses beating gongs and drums. At the foot of the mountain, the deputy general made an oath to flatten the cottage, pulled back a soldier and scolded, "Are you looking for death? Rushing so fast, rushing to get married?"

The soldier looked innocent: "General, didn't you say that you would rush forward when you heard the drums?" The soldier patted his head: "That's right, you said it's called 'If you smell the drum, you'll enter'."

The deputy general scolded: "I said yesterday that this is a mastamp, a mast, mast mast mast, do you understand?"

The soldier had a simple and honest face, looked at the deputy general with extremely pure eyes, and asked, "What is a gimmick?" Is it delicious?"

The vice general vomited blood, flew up and kicked the soldier back to the team and roared, "Stay with me and follow the team." While scolding, "It was that immoral ghost who brought this fool in?"

In Runan City, Li Feng was drinking tea when he suddenly sneezed out. Li Feng touched his nose. Who is thinking about me? Hey hey, it's not Diao Chan, is it?

Well, it seems that the gap between the five big and three thick vice generals and the beautiful Diao Chan is not ordinary, right? Sweat first!

But it is said that the bandits on Black Snake Mountain are also inexplicable. Aren't our traps so powerful? The officers and soldiers have been killed for a day. Why haven't they broken through the foot of the mountain? Are traps really so useful? Well, next time, I suggest that the king set up a few more.

It's easy to wait until dark, and the deputy general sees that the fire is almost over and returns to the camp. The mountain thief was also frightened for a day and was already tired. He left a few sentries and went back to bed.

The moon is dark and windy at night, when killing and igniting!

Zhou Cang led the soldiers and ambushed under the rock wall, quietly waiting for the opportunity. It was late autumn, and the sky was getting colder, and the cold north wind "shudded" across my ears, bringing a deep chill.

Zhou Cang was pasted on the rock wall and did not move. Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. The closer they are to success, the less careless they are.

The soldier passed the wine bag, and someone took a sip from time to time. The army's expedition is not allowed to drink, but it is already late autumn. Wine can dispel the cold, and drinking can help improve combat effectiveness, so Zhou Cang brought some.

The night is quiet, the active insects in summer have long been silent, and the surroundings are quiet and terrible.

"General," a soldier reminded Zhou Cang, "It's time."

The most exhausting time of the day is 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., which is also the deadliest time for people to sleep.

Zhoucang calculates the time, and the time has arrived. It's time to take action.

"Come with me," Zhou Cang waved his hand and said, "Be quiet and don't make any noise."

A hundred soldiers untied the rope from his waist and handed it to a thin sergeant.

Zhou Cang patted the thin soldier on the shoulder and said, "Monkey, be careful."

The thin soldier replied, "General, don't worry, this little thing is not a problem."

This soldier is nicknamed Monkey, but he is as famous, and his ability to climb is extremely extraordinary. Zhou Cang specially brought him from Runan City for this moment.

The soldier was really agile, stuck to the cliff, jumped twice, and soon went up. After a while, a rope hung from the top of the cliff.

Zhou Cang took a deep breath and climbed up first with the rope.

In this way, it took a lot of effort to climb the cliff with a hundred elite soldiers.

The eastern sky has turned slightly white and can't be dragged any longer. Zhou Cang took the soldiers and quietly touched the thief's village like a group of ghosts.

=============================Separator=============================

In Runan City, Zhang Fei and Li Feng also did not rest and quietly waited for the results of suppressing bandits.

Zhang Fei suddenly asked, "Second brother, isn't this too risky?" Why don't you ask Yuanfu to surround the mountain and kill the mountain thieves alive?

Li Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, your idea is indeed the best strategy, but it took a long time to besiege the mountain. The mountain thieves can afford it. We can't afford it!"

Li Feng paused and continued to say, "If you want to govern Runan, it is urgent to recover the hearts of the people. This time, we have to let Yuanfu soldiers make dangerous moves. Alas, may God bless you."

Li Feng and Zhang Fei are worried, and Zhou Cang's deputy general is also anxious.

It's about to dawn, but there is not even a spark on the top of the mountain, and I don't know if General Zhou is doing well.

When he was anxious, the soldier next to him suddenly said, "Look, general, look."

The deputy general looked up when he heard the words, but saw that the thief on the top of the mountain was already burning; General Zhou succeeded!

The deputy general was overjoyed and urgently ordered the soldiers to attack the mountain. This time, it was not a homicide. I saw the deputy general take the lead and led the old soldiers in the camp to kill the cottage.

The cottage is on fire, and the bandits are in chaos. How can the wolf-like officers and soldiers be stopped?

In a short time, the deputy general went to the top of the mountain.

But when he saw the gate opening, a burly man was leading soldiers to fight with mountain thieves. It's not Zhou Cang, but who is it?

Zhou Cang led the soldiers and the mountain thief in a fierce battle. Suddenly, he saw the deputy general arrived. He was overjoyed and hurriedly waved a knife to force the thieves back. He shouted, "The reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are coming, kill!"

As soon as the thief saw the arrival of the officers and military support, they were all frightened. For a moment, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and their morale collapsed.

The deputy general took advantage of the situation to attack and fought with Zhou Cang to kill the thieves.

What a Zhoucang Zhou Yuanfu! But seeing that he took the lead and chopped the big knife in his hand, his men had no enemies. Zhou Cang had been fighting for a long time, and his clothes had already been stained red by blood. He looked like a hellish ghost. He was really shocked and frightened when he saw it!

The leader of the mountain thief came to fight.

Zhou Cang opened his eyes angrily and shouted, "Thief, take your life!" His hand fell with a knife and cut off the leader of the mountain thief.

When the mountain thief saw the brave leader of the past, he was killed by the officers and soldiers. How dare he resist? They fled one after another, and the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to chase and win a complete victory.

After the battle, the deputy general pointed to the prisoners and asked, "General, what about these prisoners?" Zhou Cang frowned and said, "It's not acceptable to slaughter the people. Kill me all."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a troubled time. Killing a man was nothing, and there were many lives in Zhou Cang's hands. However, this group of mountain thieves dared to slaughter the city, which was hated. Therefore, Zhou Cang was murderous.

When the bandits heard this, they cried bitterly and begged. Zhou Cang is just a stone heart and looks like he doesn't see it.

One of the bandits suddenly said, "We have not participated in the slaughter of the city. Please ask the general to identify it."

Zhou Cang frowned; "Who are you?" The matter of the slaughter of the city has already been found out clearly, and he dares to argue.

The man said, "I am the owner of the second village of this cottage. The owner of the slaughter of the village is his own way. Although we can't dissuade them, we have never participated in it. The brothers who slaughtered the city stubbornly resisted and had already been killed by the officers and soldiers.

"Is this true?"

"It's true."

Vice General Zhou Cangling took down the mountain thief and interrogated him carefully. He found that the result was as the owner of the two villages said.

Zhou Cang said, "In this case, you can identify yourself and point out the mountain thieves who participated in the slaughter that day one by one."

When the mountain thieves heard the words, they hurriedly pointed out the department of the owner of the big village.

When Zhou Cang saw that the owner of the two villages was silent, he said strangely, "Why don't you identify together? Maybe he will let you go as soon as he is happy.

The owner of Erzhai sighed and said, "In the past, Japan was a brother, and I couldn't bear to kill them."

When Zhou Cang heard this, he secretly admired the two-zhaiism, so he asked, "Do you dare to ask the name of the hero?"

"Liu Pi, I dare not call him a strong man. Just call his name."

Zhou Cang thought that the name seemed to have been heard. Well, I remember that General Li Feng seems to have asked me if I know someone called "Liu Pi" and what else is called "Zhang Yan". How did the second general know that someone was called "Liu Pi"? Zhou Cang had a headache and simply didn't think about it. He ordered the sergeant to escort the mountain thief back to Runan and let Zhang Fei and Li Feng's four brothers fall.

When Zhou Cang was stunned, he suddenly heard someone shouting. At a glance, it was Liu Pi, the owner of the two villages. He only heard him shout, "There is still a secret library in the big leader's house, and there is a collection of gold and silver from the cottage that has been robbed the caravan for several years. It is very valuable. Please pay attention to the general."

However, Liu Pi saw Zhou Cang Mingli and did not kill his brother indiscriminately. He was grateful and made a point.

Zhou Cang's eyes lit up and urgently ordered the sergeant to escort Liu Pi back and asked, "Secret? But hidden in the thief's first room?"

Liu Pi nodded without answering, and took Zhou Cang directly to the center of the cottage.

It is natural to suppress bandits and make a fortune. I don't know what good things Brother Zhou Cang can find? Looking forward to it!
