Long Zhen returned from the banquet, his mood was extremely complicated, there was not much of a problem with the big car, even if there was a shortage of eight hundred big cars, there was not much missing, but the bandit that President Tang said was like a spike poked in the throat, which made people uncomfortable.

Long Zhen is also a person who has seen battles, and he has also participated in the bandit several times, the Fangzhou bandit on Jingxi Road, the Yun'an bandit on Kuizhou Road, the imperial court has sent the forbidden army to assist the local army to encircle and suppress, although they all ended in victory, but they have a deep understanding of the bandits' brave dragon.

In Luming Mountain, Fangzhou, there were only 400 bandits, and they killed nearly 800 officers and soldiers, and the bandit leader Li Laoshun was still killed by thirteen arrows and killed four people in a row and died of exhaustion; At that time, Long Zhen was still a small capital, and the forbidden army was only shrunk back on the battlefield to give courage to the local army, but the piercing click of the bandit's big knife waving and cutting into the bones of the soldiers was still terrifying.

The attitude of the imperial court towards the bandits is very clear, either recruit peace, or kill them all, even if they are coerced into the bandits, they will not be tolerated, and their families and relatives will all sit together.

Long Zhen's eyelids jumped when he thought of this, and President Tang was vague when he said it, but from his semantics, Long Zhen could hear that this group of bandits must not be good; The box soldiers on Huainan Road and the box soldiers in Luzhou Mansion combined to encircle and suppress several times, but they did not succeed, which shows the strength of these bandits.

After several encirclements and suppressions, the number of bandits may not be much left, as Tang Jiyuan said, but even if there are only three or five hundred people left, I am afraid that it is the most courageous three or five hundred, otherwise why didn't the imperial court exterminate them in one go?

Long Zhen didn't dare to take it lightly, after returning to the barracks, he immediately summoned the two heads and a few small soldier leaders to discuss this matter, he didn't do it for the sake of fighting his life, but it was not a matter to be scared by the bandits not to do an errand, especially I don't know if the bandits will go out to rob them. The robbery was first taken as a coward, and the court knew that it would definitely not spare its own people.

Long Zhen told you the situation and asked for everyone's opinions, Zhao Dutou shouted: "The bandit is a bird, our two hundred horse army, even if we come to Qian'er and eight hundred, we are not afraid of him." ”

Fang Dutou squinted at Zhao Dutou and said: "Old Zhao, if you want to fight hard, I don't want to work hard for this special envoy who even has a dog day, and I am ruthless when I deduct our salary, who is willing to work for him in this case?" ”

Zhao Dutou was stunned and said, "What should I do?" Could it be that we don't move? Consumed here? ”

Long Zhen waved his hand and said: "Then how to make it, we have been delayed in Luzhou for five or six days, if it is forgivable to say that the car cannot be rented before, this will be the Chamber of Commerce and the car dealer will give us the big car at once, and we can't say it if we don't move." ”

Fang Dutou said: "But what if you really encounter bandits?" ”

Long Zhen frowned and said, "That's why I invited you to discuss, if I can call the shots, why should I ask you." ”

Zhao Dutou said: "That Bagong Mountain is far away from the official road, so the bandits won't be so arrogant." ”

Long Zhen glared at him and said, "You pack the ticket?" If you dare to pack the ticket, Lao Tzu will immediately order, and you will load the car and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Zhao Dutou hurriedly lowered his head and said in his heart: How dare Lao Tzu play this package ticket, aren't you harming Lao Tzu.

Seeing that Zhao Du was silent, Long Zhen retracted his fierce gaze and said to everyone: "How can I think of a way to not delay things and keep everyone safe, everyone follows me out on an errand, I didn't make much money, and then put my life in, how can I mix in the future?" ”

An old captain saw that Long Zhen actually had a way, so he said: "Commander Long, you can make up your mind, brothers listen to you, you can do whatever you say, there is a mouthy, I, Ma Dapeng, will be the first to spare him." ”

Everyone hurriedly echoed: "Yes, what Lao Ma said is right, Commander Long decides for himself, you are good for everyone, everyone knows, if there is that blind talk, we will split him alive." ”

Long Zhen smiled and said: "Brothers don't say to me Long Zhen, I do have an idea, but I do have some concerns, I can't even think about this matter, let alone bring it up, but since the brothers value us so much, let's not be hypocritical, say it, everyone thinks it's a good decision, if you think it's far-fetched, it should be the wind in your ears." ”

Zhao Dutou said: "I didn't say it, I listened to the dragon's command." The others nodded.

Long Zhen suppressed his throat and said in a low voice: "Su Jin, this kid is now in Yangzhou, I'm afraid that he is anxious about waiting for our food, I estimate that he will send someone to urge the grain in a few days, so we can't delay any longer, tomorrow we will gather the carts together, load the trucks and transport the grain, and teach Su Jin to arrange us without words." ”

Everyone nodded and said, "Exactly, it's really inappropriate to have a car and not transport grain." ”

Fang Dutou was surprised: "But let's obediently transport the grain to Yangzhou?" This kid is too inauthentic, last time we said that we would let his errand go to waste, so that he would be unlucky, and now it doesn't count? ”

Long Zhen smiled and said, "What are you anxious about, haven't you said it yet?" ”

Zhao Dutou hurriedly avenged Fang Dutou's scolding of himself just now, and teased: "Lao Fang is an anxious son, you are in such a hurry, I'm afraid you even have a grandson, but now it's good, I haven't even mixed up with a lady." ”

Fang Dutou scolded: "It's your business, there is a little bastard in your family, maybe it was your lady who got it with someone, I don't look like you when I look at my eyebrows, but I look a little like Lao Tzu." ”

"Fuck your mother's ......" Zhao Du was so angry that he clenched his fists and hit, Fang Dutou was not to be outdone, and the two were going to fight together when they saw it.

Long Zhen's face was gloomy and he shouted: "What kind of system is it, when Lao Tzu doesn't exist, right?" If the two of you make trouble again, Lao Tzu will turn his face and deny people! ”

Although Zhao and Fang didn't care about Long Zhen on the surface, everyone knew that Long Zhen was a smiling tiger, and his methods were very damaging, and if he really offended him, he was afraid that it would be more dangerous than offending the senior officials.

The two of them neatly crooked clothes and hats, glared at each other and sat down again, Long Zhen snorted and continued: "Tomorrow, let's set off to transport grain, the road after the snow will be difficult to walk, if the bandits don't come, we will walk slowly for ten days and half a month, and then it will be said that the road is muddy after the snow, and it is really difficult to walk on the official road, so that there can be a rhetoric, and Su Jin can not do anything in Yangzhou; It's best that we haven't arrived yet, and the people of Yangzhou City have already kicked out this useless food envoy, which is also a bad breath for everyone. ”

The team leader praised: "Okay, the plan of killing two birds with one stone, the dragon commander really has a way, so Su Jin will definitely be unlucky in front of the emperor; But what if there are really bandits robbing food? ”

Long Zhen smiled: "It's very simple, the bandits are strong, we are invincible, and the grain has been robbed; Fortunately, the bandits were determined to seize the grain, and we were favored by the emperor and were able to save our lives. ”

The squad leader's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, let's give up ......"

"Shut up, I didn't say anything, we can't beat the bandits, can't we give up our lives in vain?" Long Zhen shouted.

Everyone looked at each other silently, Long Zhen was really ruthless enough, and gave 500,000 stone of grain to the bandits, but Su Jin still had to be unlucky, there was no food, he was waiting for a fart in Yangzhou; But this matter is indeed big enough, 500,000 stone grain is lost, and the court blames it, so no one dares to say that they agree.

Long Zhen saw through everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The bandits robbed us of our grain, let's just store it in his cottage, and afterwards we can go to the Huainan Road transfer envoy to report the case, within his jurisdiction, there is such a big thing, do you think he will be desperate to send troops to take this batch of grain back?" And with our help, will this group of bandits be able to keep this batch of grain? After coming and going, when the food is taken back, the daylilies are cold, and it is naturally no big deal for us to make up for it, and some people are afraid that they will lose their official hats, hahaha. ”

Long Zhen analyzed the slightest detail, completely dispelled the doubts in everyone's hearts, and if he didn't express his position at this time, it was tantamount to pushing himself on the opposite side of Long Zhen, so everyone raised their fingers and praised Long Zhen's wise command, and all of them agreed to do so.

Long Zhen was still not at ease, explained the details, and even scared and coaxed everyone to rot this matter in their hearts, so he ordered everyone to go back to arrange it, and load the car to transport grain early tomorrow morning.
