At noon, the fierce sun scorched the earth, and the corpses in Xujia Village were disposed of, and the blood stains were sprinkled with quicklime and covered with fresh earth.

At this time, Xujia Village was immersed in the joy of the aftermath of the disaster, with smoke rising from every household and the tempting aroma of rice and meat wafting in the air.

The patriarch Xu Deming personally commanded the slaughter of two big fat pigs to reward the Ming army cavalry and a group of officials.

The actual loss of Xujia Village this time was not large, the property of the villagers' homes was not looted, and no one even died, but only injured a few villagers, even Xu Youcai's goods were only seriously injured, and his body was trampled on a horse and fractured in a few places.

Therefore, it is a great luck in misfortune in Xujiacun this time, but it is the three classes of officials brought by Liu Qingyuan who died three and injured six or seven people.

On the grain drying field in Xujia Village, the cavalry of the Ming army was feasting on the meals and fatty meat sent by the villagers, and the more than 100 households who were full of oil happily expressed their gratitude to the patriarch Xu Deming.

This time, the cavalry of the Ming army easily extinguished the horse team of the bandits, killed dozens of people, and captured seven thieves alive, including the bandit leader Li Zhen, while they only killed one person in battle and injured several people, which can be said to be a beautiful victory.

Yu Baihu was very excited, and the patriarch Xu Deming was also very happy, although the gate of the ancestral hall was burned and several villagers were injured, but the overall loss was very small.

The most important thing is that a group of bandits from Lead Mountain were annihilated in Xujia Village, which is a great event, maybe it will be recorded in history in the future, so Shangrao Xujia Village will also become famous.

Xu Deming has already figured it out, this matter has to be recorded in the Xu family's genealogy, and a monument must be erected to remember, and the glory will be left for future generations to admire and boast about.

Just imagine, in later generations, the children of the Xu family opened the clan and read that on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, a group of thieves attacked Xujia Village at night, and the patriarch Xu Deming was not afraid of danger and led the villagers to bravely defend the ancestral hall......

When Patriarch Xu thought of this, his mood was happy, in fact, early this morning, people from nearby villages came to inquire about what happened last night, and the awe-inspiring eyes of those people after hearing it made Xu Deming quite useful.

In addition, I heard that the governor of Jiangxi, Sun Sui, will come in person in a few days, tsk, Xujia Village will be more beautiful at that time, you must know that the governor is a high-ranking official sent by the center of the imperial court, holding the military and political power of a province, how many of you ordinary people can see?

After rewarding the Ming army, the busy patriarch of Xu hurriedly rushed to Xu Jin's house, because the family also set up a banquet to entertain the county magistrate, and now that the banquet is ready, he will personally invite Liu Qingyuan.

"Oh, the old man forgot for a while!" Xu Deming stopped and turned to a villager and said, "You go to Guojia Village, invite Guo Fuzi to dinner, go quickly!" ”

Jin Ge'er even won the county test and the government test, it can be said that the glory of Xujia Village is now brought by Jin Ge'er, and even the presence of the governor in a few days is because of Jin Ge'er, as Jin Ge'er's enlightenment teacher, it is naturally necessary to share this glory, so as to reflect the respect of our Xujia Village people.

Just as Xu Deming was about to personally go to Xu Jin's house to invite Liu Qingyuan, a fast horse turned out of the mountain col and soon came to the entrance of Xujia Village.

"Where are the remaining hundred households?" The herald ran to the threshing floor in a sweat.

The Ming cavalry who were eating realized that there was an urgent order from above, otherwise the herald would not have paralyzed their mounts.

Yu Linsheng hurriedly walked up and said loudly: "Yu is here!" ”

The herald breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "The lair of the bandits in Leadshan has been discovered and destroyed by our army, but the bandit leader Wu Sanba led more than a dozen thieves to break through and escape, and the marshal ordered you to lead your subordinates to rush to the lower reaches of the Xinjiang River to intercept them. ”

When the sergeants heard that the lair of the bandits in Lead Mountain had been destroyed, they instantly let out a mountain of cheers: "Wan Sheng! ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Yu Linsheng knelt down on one knee to take the order flag, then stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, get on the horse, follow me to kill the thief, and capture the thief Wu Sanba!" ”

All the sergeants applauded, stripped off the leftovers in a few bites, quickly got on the horse and formed a team, and left Xujia Village with a bang, killing in the direction of Xinjiang.

Yu Baihu can be excited, the cavalry has an absolute advantage in mobility, as long as the trace of the bandit leader Wu Sanba is found, this credit ...... Hey, hey, it's all about us!

"Good news, my lord! Good news! ”

Xu Jin and Liu Qingyuan were chatting in the house, and a yacha rushed in happily and said: "Yu Baihu just received an order from the governor and left with his troops, and I heard that he was going to the lower reaches of the Xinjiang River to intercept Wu Sanba, the leader of the lead mountain bandits. ”

Liu Qingyuan smiled when he heard this: "Okay, great, the lead mountain bandits can be put to rest, Xu is the head of the case, this is all thanks to you!" ”

Xu Jin hurriedly said: "The county lord is exaggerating, this is naturally the credit of the governor's wisdom and decisiveness, good command, and the brave killing of thieves by the soldiers." ”

Liu Qingyuan smiled and said: "This is also indispensable to the head of the Xu case!" ”

Liu Qingyuan was not wrong, Sun Sui besieged the mountain for several months and couldn't do anything with Wu Sanba and other thieves, if Wu Sanba hadn't forcibly sent people to break into the camp and rush to Xujia Village, he would not have exposed his lair, so the official army seized the opportunity, so the opportunity to break the thief was completely brought by Xu Jin.

Of course, Xu Jin didn't expect that he caught the two thieves, and he actually triggered a series of reactions, which indirectly helped Governor Sun to eliminate the group of bandits entrenched in Lead Mountain.

At this time, on the edge of the Xinjiang River, a hundred miles away from Xujia Village, Wu Sanba, the leader of the lead mountain bandits, took more than a dozen of his subordinates and snatched two fishing boats down the river, anxious like a lost dog.

It is said that last night, Wu Sanba divided his troops into three ways according to the strategy of Zhou Boling, the dog-headed military division, and the two ways of bluffing attracted the attention of the Ming army, covering the second boss Li Zhen and leading people to break into the camp and rush to Shangrao Xujia Village to carry out the task of His Royal Highness the Prince.

The strategy went very smoothly at the beginning, and the second boss Li Zhen successfully escaped from the camp, but the situation behind was out of control, and the Ming army bit the tail and chased closely, and the worst thing was that the Ming army also found the location of their lair, and the grain stored there and the looted property were all captured by the Ming army.

How can you play without food? There was no need for the Ming army to do anything, and the bandits would starve to death in the mountains, so Wu Sanba had no choice but to lead people to break into the camp in an attempt to break through the blockade of the Ming army and flee to the Wuyi Mountains in the south of Leadshan County.

However, although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was poor, it was not vegetarian, and in the face of bandits who were also a rabble, they had an absolute numerical advantage, so there was no reason to be invincible.

Therefore, the mountain bandits led by Wu Sanba were quickly killed and dispersed by the Ming army, and the third master, Zhou Boling, was captured on the spot, and Wu Sanba only fled from the lead mountain with a dozen brothers, and went to the edge of the Xinjiang River in a panic.

There happened to be a fishing boat nearby, so Wu Sanba grabbed it and went downstream, planning to get rid of the Ming army chasing after him by biting his tail first, and then find a hidden place to land on the way, and then meet the second leader Li Zhen in the future.

At this moment, Wu Sanba sat on the boat, looking depressed and ended, but more unwilling and resentful, it was not easy to become bigger and stronger, pulling up thousands of people, but he didn't expect it to come to naught overnight, which was all given by an order from the prince of Baining.

"Damn, Zhu Xiao'er, this idiot, Lao Tzu was miserable by you, grass your mother!"

Wu Sanba scolded secretly in his heart, but if he wanted to make a comeback in the future, he would have to use Ning Wangfu, so Wu Sanba only dared to scold in his heart, but he didn't dare to scold in his mouth. Although there are all old subordinates around him at the moment, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, maybe there is an anti-bone boy who wants to step on his own position in the future and leak this to the prince of Ning Wang, then he doesn't have to mess around.

"Big boss, where are we going now?" One of the thieves asked weakly, and the rest of the thieves looked at them with trepidation.

Wu Sanba pretended to negotiate and said: "Later, we will go ashore to find a secret place to hide for a few days, and then find a way to rush to Shangrao Xujia Village to meet the two masters, and then there will be a horse in hand, where can we go?" We'll be able to make a comeback soon. ”

As a result, before the words were finished, several clippers appeared a few hundred meters behind, and the Ming army on the boat was full of shadows, obviously the pursuers were coming.

The faces of the thieves changed greatly, and they rowed to the shore as desperately as they could, and fled for their lives in the grass on the shore.
