Chapter 729: Suppressing Bandits

Meng Ke specially reported a mountain gate, and after going back, he was busy with a lot of work, but after waiting for two days, there was not even a single news in the army, Hu Dadao laughed non-stop on the side: "Zhuge Liang's tricks are accurate when you pinch your fingers, and you don't have that ability, and you still learn people's tricks, it's better to go home and raise pigs with this kung fu." Hahaha! ”

Meng Ke was angry: "Grandma, Lin Daojin, this kid is quite bearable, he wants to hold it, I'll see how long he can hold it." Then he took fifty more men out of the camp.

The reason why he has not lost arms and legs since he came back from Myanmar with Cheng Xiaolian is not because of how powerful his martial arts are, but because he can fight without emotions at any time.

This time, he deliberately chose a larger patrol army to take people to go immediately to kill, held the leader in his hand, and threw out a head: "You poor ghosts, you refuse to give out fifty stones of grain, and the head will be returned to you!" Send a hundred stone of grain this time, otherwise this head will not be saved! ”

In this way, Meng Ke has risen from 100 stone grain to 500 stone grain, and has killed nearly 300 people, who knows that Lin Daojin has no news at all.

Looking at Meng Ke's dejected appearance, Hu Dadao laughed so much that his stomach hurt: "Come on, come on, Master, your old man quickly teach me, what kind of plan is this, where is it written in this book, I will hurry up and see if this strategy doesn't work, or have you used other people's strategies badly?" ”

Meng Ke pursed his lips: "The surname is Hu, don't be too complacent, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see, I don't believe they have been so enduring." ”

Although Lin Daojin can endure it, the soldiers in the army are angry, three hundred people are not many at all, if three hundred people die in a battle, no one will say a word, but what is going on, there are obviously more than 30,000 comrades in the army, and three hundred people were killed by a gang of bandits, if everyone does not take revenge, those brothers on the battlefield will have to stab themselves with black knives in the future.

"General, we have already killed more than a dozen patrolling brothers, and if this continues, the brothers will not dare to go out to patrol the sentry."

"How can they be greedy for life and fear of death when they are paid as soldiers?"

"General, this is not greed for life and fear of death, those bandits are too cunning, we have also sent a hundred brothers to patrol the rear, but as long as we are followed by other brothers, they will not do it, until now the brothers dare not go out to patrol, if this continues, I can't take my brothers with me."

"Hmph, you can't bring it, just change it to one that you can bring, the order that the prince gave us is not to allow a person in Henan Mansion to run to Hubei alone, not to kill all the bandits in Hubei, and besides, those bandits want food in one mouth, obviously there is no oil and water, this kind of thing that has neither oil and water, but also will not be promoted, why should General Ben do it?"

"Then our soldiers died in vain? General, you don't need too many people, just give me eight hundred, no, as long as I give me five hundred, I will definitely kill the bandit on the mountain and leave it behind, this is also to facilitate the observation of the movement in Hubei Province, if the brothers dare not go to the distance to patrol the sentry, in case the former Ming really sent a large army to this point, we will not suffer a big loss? ”

Lin Daojin finally felt that what he said made some sense, and coughed: "I'll give you five hundred people, but you remember, you only have three days, if you haven't succeeded in exterminating the bandits after three days, then you don't need to kill them, and you remember, once the army sends you news, even if your knife has been on the neck of those bandits, you must immediately collect the knife and rush back, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you with his own hands!" ”

The general was overjoyed: "General, don't worry, it won't take you three days to deal with these bandits, and I can kill them all one day if I'm lucky!" ”

"Hmph, Lu Qifeng, don't capsize in the gutter, if you are cut off by those thieves, Lao Tzu will not give you a tael of silver, and you have to be scolded for being a fool!"

"General, don't worry, you also know that I have always handled things safely!"

Lin Daojin didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him, and immediately waved his hand: "Hurry up and get out, don't bother Lao Tzu in front of Lao Tzu." ”

After Lu Qifeng left, Lin Daojin glanced at the people around him: "We have now arranged nearly fifty teams to travel between Nanyang Mansion and us, as long as Nanyang City is breached, let's do it immediately, no matter what, we must not let anyone slip out of our hands!" Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the prince. ”

"Don't worry, general, if they escape, they are destined to be a small group of people, if they can let them run away, the brothers can directly wipe their necks with knives."

Two days later, Lin Daojin looked at the severed head of Lu Qi Peak held by his subordinates: "You mean, Lu Qi Feng was stunned when he went up the mountain, and then no one ran out?" ”

"We people are guarding the bottom of the mountain, General Lu led 500 people up the mountain, and we heard the screams on the mountain, and when we woke up, a group of bandits had already stood in front of us, and handed over General Lu's head to us, and said that if we did not prepare a thousand stone of grain this time, all the 200 brothers captured on the mountain would be slaughtered."

Lin Daojin secretly clenched his fists: "Are you sure it's a bandit?" ”

"The little one can see clearly, they only have one horse, and the rest are all mules, they must be bandits, even if the army of the former Ming Dynasty is cold, they can't ride mules out to fight. And those people are in tattered clothes, if it weren't for the summer, it is estimated that they would have frozen to death, if they were the army of the former Ming Dynasty, Hubei and Central Hubei would be their territory, and they wouldn't have to wear so shabby if they grabbed a little bit. ”

Lin Daojin snorted coldly: "Count your kid a little brainy, I will leave this life to you, you go down first." ”

"What about the enmity of the brethren?"

"Get out!"

"Yes, yes!" As he spoke, the man crawled out of the tent.

Lin Daojin snorted: "Pretending to be a ghost, he is a thief and a food, he must be the army of the former Ming Dynasty." ”

The soldiers around him hurriedly asked, "How did the general know?" ”

"Have you ever seen a bandit who did not plunder the people, but went to the army and blackmailed the army? From the first day I knew that this was a trick of the former Ming army, just to see what else they had, and now it seems that they have at least a thousand people in the mountains. ”

The army was stunned for a moment: "The lower official is confused." ”

"Lu Qifeng is not a mediocre talent, otherwise I would not let him go out to suppress bandits, even the people he brought were killed without the power to fight back, there are at least a thousand soldiers of the former Ming Dynasty in the mountain, pass on my military orders, no one is allowed to mention the matter of suppressing bandits in the future, I want to see if they have the ability to attack my camp!"

"General Mingjian, I admire!"
