Xie Zhi knew that there were so many dead and injured this time, and someone always had to stand up and carry the black pot, and it was the soldiers he brought with him, so it was only fitting that he was taken to blame. After all, Gao Mengdan is the prefect of a state, Wu Sangui at most feels that he is not strong in handling things, and he will definitely not be dismissed because of this matter.

Thinking of this, he immediately knelt on the ground: "My lord, don't blame my subordinates for doing things unfavorably, it's really that the enemy is too cunning, please give me another hundred people, I promise that this time I will definitely kill the bandits on the mountain to the cold." ”

So far, he has no other good way, but to ask for a chance to make meritorious contributions, hoping to seize more silver, and then Wu Sangui will be able to spare him for the sake of the silver.

Gao Mengdan also knew that this matter was not easy to do, these soldiers were borrowed by him, and they did not belong to his jurisdiction at all, if the actual information was up, Wu Sangui slashed Xie Zhi with a knife, he would offend the soldiers of the government very much, and there would be a military disaster or something in the future, and the first unlucky one would definitely be his family.

So he can't do things perfectly, but after hurting so many people in vain, he can't run away from his reputation for poor work after he goes back, and he doesn't want to be promoted in this life.

But all men are a bit gambling, and the two of them decided this matter together, but today their morale is low and they can't fight anymore, so they can only return to the camp and prepare to fight again in the coming day.

On the way back, Gao Mengdan remembered that Cheng Xiaolian told him that not all the thieves on the mountain were rice buckets, and called him into his camp: "Today you told me not to underestimate the thieves on the mountain, but I didn't listen to it, which led to this big defeat, and I regret it." ”

Cheng Xiaolian had a panicked expression: "My lord is wise and martial, but the thieves on the mountain are too cunning, which made General Xie suffer a big loss." ”

"Hmph, don't talk about those nice things, if you have any ideas about tomorrow's war, you might as well come and listen to it, if it makes sense, I will be rewarded."

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes rolled when he heard this: "The bandits on the mountain are on guard, and it will not be easy to fight again, in the eyes of the minions, it is better to kill them tonight while they are unprepared, anyway, there are still five hundred brothers who have not fought during the day, and they are not tired, since they have seen us retreat with their own eyes, they must not be too guarded." ”

Gao Mengdan's eyes rolled: "This is a good idea, but if there is preparation on the mountain, it will be a dead end, in the dark night, once you lose, nothing can stop it." You're not trying to scold me, are you? ”

Cheng Xiaolian heard this and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "How dare the slave deceive the adult, the slave still relies on the adult to help the slave make a household registration, and from now on he can live as a legitimate person, and not let his children and grandchildren become thieves for generations!" Besides, the master also said that he wanted the slave to follow you to do things, which is a good thing that can't be asked for by the green smoke on the ancestral grave, and the slave will not do anything sorry for the adult if the lard is blinded. ”

Gao Mengdan nodded reassuringly when he heard this, Cheng Xiaolian was right, this kind of thing can't be asked for by others, who would give up such a good future, and be willing to be a thief in the mountains for the rest of his life, thinking of this, he coughed: "Get up, I don't blame you, why are you still kneeling on the ground?" Let's go out and have General Xie come over. ”

On the other side, Wang Bo looked at the big leaders on the mountain: "Those officers and soldiers will definitely not give up, we can't kill these people, otherwise they will all be wiped out, you should hurry up and contact the Burmese side to kill and avoid for a while, as long as there are enough people, it is not impossible." ”

A few bandit leaders didn't know what Cheng Xiaolian was talking about, but they heard the news brought back by Wang Bo that as long as they stood still on the mountain, the officials and soldiers promised not to move them first. But there are so many officers and soldiers dead on the mountain today, and those people will definitely not give up, but they are afraid that they will not be able to keep their family business, so they can only go out quickly to pull people.

If there were fewer people, it would be difficult to break through from the Burmese side, so they had to contact the bandits in other cottages overnight.

Wang Bo went to Cheng Xiaolian's village overnight: "I said that the three are in charge, can it be done this time?" ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "Just now I got the news, and there were troops sent over there." ”

Wang Bo was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" ”

"They are red-eyed, so naturally they can't wait for tomorrow, but I don't know how many cottages are going to be unlucky tonight."

Wang Bo hurriedly returned to his cottage, he was also worried that he would be killed by others, in case he really killed his own cottage, his village would not be able to bear it.

After Wang Bo left, Zhai Songjin glanced at Yang Youcai: "You kid will come with his mouth open for this nonsense, what if he knows the truth tomorrow and finds him up the mountain?" ”

"His Highness values this person very much, so we have to find a way to win him over, how can I lie to him."

"You mean?"

"I admire His Highness more and more now, he is much more powerful than his grandfather."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"How can you call nonsense, did your father die at the hands of his grandfather? You people, although you have practiced kung fu for several years, still have the hypocrisy in the bones of the literati. ”

Besides, Xie Zhi took the 500 people who did not participate in the battle to touch a stockade in the dark, directly smashed open the gate, and killed one of them by surprise, all the people on the mountain got the news that the officers and troops had withdrawn, and they were all ready to deal with tomorrow's big battle, and no one thought that the officers and troops would come up the mountain today.

And the luck of catching up with this gang of bandits is really not very good, their big boss in order to have the strength of tomorrow's battle, ordered to rest early, when the officers and soldiers rushed into the camp, the guard was still secretly squinting in the corner of the wall, until the people killed in and were not awakened.

Then the black light blinded, and no one knew how many officers and soldiers came, and no one knew where their own people were, and every quarter of an hour they supported, they gave up resistance.

The strategy of the officers and soldiers was, of course, not to take prisoners, and it was useless for these people to bring them back, and they also wasted food in vain, and they were all cut down with a knife. Then he began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find gold, silver and jewelry.

Xie Zhi was lucky, but this time he really found a lot of good things in the big boss's house, which can be regarded as a little comfort to his uneasy heart.

The bandits on the mountain agreed that even if the officials and soldiers wanted to open the knife, it was the business of these few people, who was willing to abandon their family and business to go to Myanmar?

But when they learned that the officers and soldiers had been killed up the mountain overnight, they were all dumbfounded, and this time it was a mountain peak not far from the center of the mountain, that is, the knives of the officers and soldiers were probably on their necks that day.

These people don't understand that they don't dare to offend Wu Sangui, but they can be regarded as a rough and cold truth, and they understand very well that they may not know when it will be their turn next time, so they have decided to leave this place of right and wrong, and there is still a way to live in Myanmar, but in front of Wu Sangui, there is no way to live.
