"Hmm." Zhou Daniu nodded, he didn't respond at first, he looked at Lingqiu City, and said with a fierce light in his eyes: "What's wrong with the people over there, did you do it?" ”

"Tell us to wait a minute, and we will be there in half an hour."

"The intelligence says that there are serious border troops coming, we will wait for them for half an hour at most, and if they don't come then, we will withdraw directly."

Yang Chunhe tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Everything listens to the big cabinet." ”

Everyone didn't speak anymore, there were still hundreds of people under Lingqiu City symbolically surrounding the city, Zhu Qingyu, the magistrate, had already blocked the city gate like last time, but this time it was different from last time, this time there were hundreds of people standing at the head of the city, it should be the righteousness and courage prepared by the county magistrate in peacetime, and it was much stronger than the last time when he was not prepared.

Even so, Zhou Daniu also felt that there were a hundred ways to attack this county seat in one hour, in fact, not only here, but also the rest of the state county towns and Acropolis cities were equally easy to attack.

If he has the heart, it is very easy to break several cities in a row, and the team of tens of thousands of people is very easy, but then it will be really a birthday boy hanging, and he will have a long life.

It was already dark, and the soldiers and horses under the city had withdrawn, and they were expected to leave here tonight, and there was no camp anywhere, and the bandits were talking and laughing in groups, and their spirits were very relaxed.

"What the hell do you want us to do over there?" Yang Chunhe stood beside Zhou Daniu and couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Daniu said: "Wait and see." ”

After the shift, there was movement down the hillside.

Zhou Daniu greeted him surrounded by more than 20 leaders, and the person who came was a person from the Inspection Department, with a special identity, and he personally greeted him.

After meeting, Zhou Daniu was a sign and it was really a familiar face.

It was Zhou Daniu who sent them to Cheng Fang and Cheng Fang respectively, not from the Military Intelligence Agency, but Zhou Daniu knew that this person was also specialized in secret business, and his identity was very mysterious.

"Zhou Da Cabinet." Under the firelight, the man's face was very gentle tonight, and after hugging his fist, the man said to Zhou Daniu: "We have arrested a person from Lingqiu City, and the intention of the lord was to kill him directly, but now it is decided that you will do it." ”

Zhou Daniu said: "What is the identity of this person?" ”

The humanitarian of the Inspection Department: "This is the lieutenant of the Zhenguo who is in charge of the affairs of the Lingqiu County Palace, called Zhu Dingfu, his father is the king of the county, according to his identity, he should be named the general of the town, but his brother committed a crime and the country was removed, so he was only named a lieutenant, but I want to explain that his identity is actually not much different from the king of the county." ”

Zhou Daniu's eyes shrank suddenly, and the people around him felt the chill.

Maybe Zhou Daniu himself didn't pay attention, the ferocity in his body is getting more and more now, it may be that Yu Shiqian has always been in charge before, Zhou Daniu has not completely released himself, now everything is in charge of him, and some things have emerged.

"Whether you move it or not, you decide." The people in the inspection department were unmoved, still with a gentle smile on their faces.

This is obviously to ask Zhou Daniu to take the blame, Zhou Daniu didn't think much about it, he snorted coldly and walked in front of Zhu Dingfu.

In front of him was a white fat man, his mouth was gagged, and his eyes were blank except for fear, maybe he didn't know why he was arrested here and faced such a dangerous situation.

"Hmph."

Zhou Daniu snorted coldly again, and pulled out his saber.

The sword flashed, and Zhu Dingfu showed a look of horror on his face, and he really didn't understand why this was until he died. Lingqiu City was obviously not captured, and no one else in the city was tied up, why did they have a clan, these thieves did not say that they wanted to extort, and they wanted to kill themselves directly.

His thinking may have stopped here, Zhou Daniu slashed at his neck, his movements were crisp and neat, and the entire human head flew in the air, splashing blood all over the ground.

"Cut down the rest of the people." Zhou Daniu looked calm, wiped the blood from the knife and put away the saber.

The crowd came forward and slashed with knives and spears, and thirty-four screamed and wailed, but no one was spared, and all were killed in a quarter of an hour.

"Cut off the head and send someone to throw it under Lingqiu City." Zhou Daniu glanced at the people in the inspection department and said, "Let's go back to the Jiatai!" ”

Zhou Da Niu led the people to retreat, along the way or robbed several large households on the list of military intelligence, this time they went out of the mountain activities for two months, successively outlying a number of cities, and the guards fought once, won a complete victory, before the border army arrived began to retreat to the mountain, the harvest was very rich, half of the captured was handed over to Li Zhuang before the month, and it will be handed over again after the Jiajiatai, and it is estimated that the gold and silver and various assets and goods obtained are more than 100,000 taels.

This is a lot of money, and many of the leaders even have the heart to covet it.

Of course, they have not forgotten the tragedy when they were besieged before, but people's hearts are like this, sometimes people are greedy and forget a lot of things, but fortunately, at the last moment, the inspection commander Zhou Daniu personally killed a clan, which made many people give up their dangerous thoughts in their hearts.

Killing the clan, the matter can be big or small, and if it is not handled well, it may cause the border army to frantically attack, at this time, it must still rely on Li Zhuang, and it is better to face the risks of the future by holding up the group.

Two days after Zhou Daniu withdrew, a guerrilla leader from the main barracks of Datong rushed to Lingqiu, and Zhu Qingyu was overjoyed to open the city gate and announce the success of the Lingqiu garrison.

Of course, the more than 30 heads under Lingqiu City are very killing, which is also shocking, although the bandits have been making a lot of trouble for a while, they have almost not killed and coerced the people, it is like a group of armed elements wandering around, which makes people's hearts relaxed, and they feel that the bandits are not too terrible, and some people speculate what the purpose of these bandits is, whether they are instructed by others. After seeing more than thirty human heads, and finding out the identities of these people, the people in the city were fine, and the gentry generally gasped.

They are all big families with considerable assets, and even Zhu Dingfu, including the clan, you must know that the status of the county king's mansion in Lingqiu City has always been transcendent, Zhu Dingfu is the second son of the former county king, and it was okay when he was expelled from the country earlier, and later, after the invitation of the acting king, Wanli also took pity on these clan children who had nothing to support...... During the period from Yingzong to Xianzong, the imperial court had money, and the number of children of the clan was not large, and the clans in various places had supplies that exceeded the standard, and in the Jiajing period, the ordinary lieutenant-level clan had only one month and six stone grains, and in the middle of Wanli, the clan supply had become a serious financial burden, and the imperial court had to reduce the clan rice again, and an ordinary lieutenant like Zhu Dingfu was only one stone of grain a month.

Of course, this Ministry of Food and Rites must still be deducted, just paper figures, each clan has its own family, and it is normal for the lowest-level lieutenant of Zhenguo and Lieutenant Fuguo to not have enough to eat, and even because there is no money to report to the Ministry of Rites, there is no bribe of the officials, and it is normal for children to be born until they die of old age and are not given names.

Zhu Dingfu was also poor, and Wanli took pity on him and asked him to manage the affairs of the abolished county king's mansion, that is, to return his wealth.

With such a relationship, this person is not an ordinary lieutenant, and if an ordinary lieutenant dies, it is not a matter at all.

"You're a step too late." Zhu Qingyu's face was sweating profusely, and he immediately threw the black pot at the guerrilla who led the troops to help.

The guerrilla is not a vegetarian, looking at the flesh and blood of the human head, he sneered: "Lingqiu City has not been lost, the adults are still boasting about their meritorious work in defending the land just now, this lieutenant was secretly tied up in the city, it is not the loss of the battle formation, but this responsibility has nothing to do with us." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Qingyu was speechless, he could take out the civil official's frame to suppress this guerrilla, but the fact is that the people were lost in the city, of course, it had nothing to do with the border troops who came to help.

Zhu Qingyu felt that there was a black hand that he couldn't see was playing with his life, and he wanted to cry without tears.

The success of garrisoning the city twice in a row, of course, is a great credit, it can be said that there are "side talents", and there are great prospects for the future rise, if it is not clear at this time that the lieutenant of Zhenguo was killed, I am afraid that his career will end here.

……

Lu Dafu and the others rushed to Lingqiu after a day and a half, and there were eight veterans on annual leave sitting in the car, all of whom had served for more than half a year and had performed well, including firearms soldiers, pikemen and soldiers, but there were no cavalry. The miners who came from Lingqiu chose very few cavalry, they lived and grew up in the mountains, and there were not many opportunities to ride horses, unlike people along the line of the Great Wall, who had more opportunities to get horses and ride horses, and of course there were many good families who could ride horses, and almost all of them were infantry here in Lingqiu.

Everyone carries weapons, which is also a special regulation of the Inspection Department, soldiers are soldiers at all times, and they are not separated from the identity of soldiers because they temporarily leave the camp.

Everyone leaned their weapons against the wall of the box, and the topic was of course the bandits operating around Lingqiu City.

Everyone was not afraid, and after a few rounds of topics, the eight of them discussed the battle formation drill, and the team they formed temporarily felt that they could fight against dozens of bandits.

Of course, this is still a trained bandit, if it was a bandit before, these eight people feel that they can fight a hundred or even more.

Of course, this kind of self-confidence does not come in vain, after a long period of hard training, a number of actual battles can only have a strong self-confidence, but also a veteran's thing.

"You don't have to practice any battle formations." The coachman said with a smile: "Zhou Daniu, they have already left, I heard that more than 300 border soldiers on horseback came, and the bandits withdrew first, and the border army generals quarreled with Zhu Zhixian for a few words, and they also withdrew to see that the bandits subsided." ”

Everyone didn't have any special feelings when they heard this, Lu Dafu opened the car window and looked, from here you can see the Lingqiu city wall in the distance, and some villages adjacent to the city, looking at the ups and downs of the mountains, there are no pedestrians on several roads that run through the staggered roads, it seems that no matter what, the name of the bandits still shocked most of the people, even if Zhou Daniu and they have withdrawn, there is still no trace of anyone walking.

"It's okay, it's not a disaster." The coachman is also from Lingqiu, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "But there is a group of Lian Yong from the Huangzi General Regiment in Lingqiu City, my mother-in-law, but we Lingqiu people have been miserable." ”

Everyone became interested, and Lu Dafu said: "What general group, what practice bravery?" Isn't there a trade group in Lingqiu with a mine, to be honest, the business group has been trained very well, if it is pulled out to fight, the bandits may not be able to fight. ”
