Today is the Zuihou day of the month, so don't forget to vote for the monthly pass if you still have it in your hand, so as not to expire and be invalid. Weakly shouted: Ask for a monthly pass!
*****************************************************************
After lunch was ready, everyone squatted under the tree and had a meal, and after resting for a while, they saw Niu Wanshan hurrying back.
"My lord, something happened, we caught a minion, according to him, the bandits on Jinggang Mountain used Neiying last night to break through Yu County, and the bandit leader is called Gu Xiancheng"
"What, Gu Xiancheng?" As soon as he heard this name, four words immediately appeared in Qin Mu's mind: Immortal Xiaoqiang.
This guy is really ghostly, and he also ran to Jinggang Mountain, what has become of this? Qin Mu suddenly had an extremely ridiculous feeling.
It seems that he has become Jiang Guangtou, and Gu Xiancheng has become an old/hairy guy; He became a reactionary, and this guy became the embodiment of justice Stop, stop, what a mess.
Niu Wanshan naturally heard of Gu Xiancheng, after all, the rebellion in Gannan was very big at the beginning, he hugged his fists and replied: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates have interrogated many people, the leader of this gang of bandits is Gu Xiancheng, there are not many champions in Youxian, after Gu Xiancheng carefully planned, he used Neiying to attack Yuxian at once, and the county ordered Xie Zhaoxiang to be executed." ”
"Now, how is the situation in Yu County?"
"After Gu Xiancheng occupied Youxian, he had no intention of withdrawing, and was opening a warehouse to release grain and recruit troops." Niu Wanshan instructed the soldiers behind, "Quickly, bring that minion up." ”
It was a man in his mid-thirties with multiple bruises on his face. He must have been beaten by Niu Wanshan and them, and as soon as he was brought to Qin Mu, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, the villain turned out to be a good citizen, the villain was forced, the adult spared his life."
"If you want to live, tell the truth about the situation on the mountain." Qin Mu said expressionlessly.
"Adults, small ones are just responsible for looking out for the wind"
"Less nonsense. What is your name, how many of you are there, and how many people are going to attack Youxian. How many people are still left on the mountain, and where is your cottage? ”
"Adults spare their lives, my lord, the small one is called Mo Er, our cottage is in the Eagle Forest in the ocean realm, there are more than 200 people, most of them went down the mountain with the big boss yesterday, and there are more than 30 people in Shandong"
Qin Mu originally wanted to rush back to Changsha as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing in Jinggang Mountain, Jiangxi is mountainous. There are a lot of small bandits in the territory, and the southern Gan controlled by Qin Mu is fine, like Ji'an, Linjiang, Nanchang, and Raozhou prefectures, Qin Mu has not yet carried out actual military occupation;
And the forces of these state capitals are extremely weak. Under the combat strength and the turbulence in the world, few local officials have the heart to clean up the bandits in the country.
Even if they send troops to suppress bandits, most of them are drunkards who don't mean to drink. More often than not, in the name of suppressing bandits, various apportionments are carried out, and after the apportionment, it is convenient to send troops to make a show, and it is the ultimate goal of officials to enrich their own pockets through these actions. In fact, the officials are all in their hearts, but they want to keep the state and county from losing, and everything will be fine.
This encounter with bandits in Jinggangshan gave Qin Mu a wake-up call, and at the same time, it also provided a good name for him to actually occupy the state capitals of Jiangxi militarily.
Although Lao Chiang lost the mainland, it was also fate, and it did not mean that his practice of using "bandits" to subdue the warlords in the provinces in the early stage was useless. Lao Jiang's life was not good, and the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War made him no longer able to concentrate on "suppressing bandits", and then he met an opponent who was better than him.
After thinking for a while, Qin Mu instructed Yan Gaofei: "Immediately send the official's order back to Ganzhou, let Sima An dispatch it in a unified manner, and the 30,000 horses in Ganzhou will be dispatched in turn to make every effort to eliminate the bandits in Jiangxi, and the state capital will go to the big city with three or two thousand troops, and the small county town will have a thousand or several hundred, depending on the situation, this should be regarded as a combat training." Sent an order to Liancheng, where our army goes, the three major disciplines and eight points of attention will be brought to the landlord, but anyone who dares to disturb the people for no reason will be beheaded. ”
"Yes, sir."
Yan Gaofei just wanted to leave, but Qin Mu said, "You come with me." ”
After taking Yan Gaofei into the woods alone, Qin Mu said softly: "This large-scale suppression of bandits, first of all, is indeed to clear out the bandits in Jiangxi, so that the people can be content with production, and secondly, through this move, to actually occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi militarily, how to take the opportunity to weaken and annex the defenders of the state capitals, these must be considered at the same time;
Moreover, for those landlords and gentry who are rampant in the countryside and hated by the people, we must also take the opportunity of suppressing bandits to weaken them, and even uproot them, what to do specifically, let Sima An and Xiang Liancheng ponder for themselves, and your singles' family must also fully cooperate with this operation;
This matter should be careful and careful, there is no complete certainty, I would rather not do it, the official said the ugly things in front, whoever went to reveal the rumors, then don't blame the official for asking him. ”
"My lord, my subordinates understand, my subordinates will go back to Ganzhou in person, do you have any other instructions?"
"This official doesn't have time to nest in Jinggang Mountain and fight with Gu Xiancheng, but Gu Xiancheng is like a ghost, and he will jump out from time to time to make trouble, it's really annoying, let Cui Feng personally lead the army, this time Gu Xiancheng will be completely destroyed no matter what, this official really doesn't want to hear this name again."
Indeed, for Qin Mu, Gu Xiancheng is like a nasty fly, he is too capable of making trouble, and if he is not careful, he may become a confidant, it is time to spend a lot of effort to clean up this fly. But it will take some time for Cui Feng to bring the troops, and now that Gu Xiancheng has attacked Youxian, he can't ignore it.
***
On Gaoling Mountain, a big banner of Gu Zi waved in the wind, and under the banner, Gu Xiancheng touched the scar on his cheek, kicked over the minions who inquired about the news, and scolded loudly: "Damn, why didn't you say it earlier." ”
"The king, the little one just heard that it was Qin Mu, the king spared his life."
"Damn, Qin Mu can't fly to the sky, continue to investigate, quickly, otherwise this king will really cut you."
"Yes, yes, big king, go for the little ones."
Watching the little minions running down the mountain with their stomachs, Gu Xiancheng suddenly looked up to the sky and said: "Qin Mu, there is really a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door for hell for you to come." This time, Lao Tzu didn't peel your skin and twitched your tendons, and I Gu Xiancheng wrote three words backwards. ”
The hundreds of minions on the mountain listened to Gu Xiancheng's bold words, and their thoughts were different, their mountain king turned out to be not Gu Xiancheng, but a person named Huang Datou, Gu Xiancheng fled to Jinggang Mountain with more than a dozen people and was taken in by Huang Datou, and a month ago Huang Datou mysteriously disappeared, no one was born, no body was dead, Gu Xiancheng successfully replaced Huang Datou as the leader of this gang of bandits;
This time, under Gu Xiancheng's planning, he attacked and captured Youxian in one fell swoop, which greatly increased his prestige among the bandits, and at the same time recruited another two or three hundred people in Youxian, and his momentum grew a lot.
But when I heard that Qin Mu personally led the troops, and took advantage of the opportunity for them to come out of the nest and destroyed their nest in the Eagle Forest of the Ocean Realm in one fell swoop, the bandits were still panicked.
As the so-called name of the person and the shadow of the tree, the word Qin Mu is too shocking for the bandits in Jiangxi. There are really not many people who dare to argue with Qin Mu head-on.
Gu Xiancheng seemed to see through the thoughts of his subordinates, and he yelled arrogantly: "You are afraid of a fart, Qin Mu is also a human being, there are only two hundred people around him, we take advantage of the time and place, what is it difficult to clean him up, he is hiding now, he is obviously afraid." Let's think about it, if we can capture Qin Mu alive, how much benefit it will be."
Indeed, if Qin Mu can be captured alive, the benefits are self-evident.
The problem was that after Qin Mu's two hundred men and horses destroyed their old nest in one fell swoop, they mysteriously disappeared into the reckless mountains of Jinggang Mountain.
Originally, it was the enemy who was bright and I was dark, but in this way, it became the enemy and I was dark, Gu Xiancheng sent people to search around, but so far there was no clue, but Qin Mu's two hundred people disappeared like air.
What he said just now was more to cheer up his subordinates, and after the opponent mysteriously disappeared, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
However, Qin Mu crashed into Jinggang Mountain with two hundred men and horses this time, Gu Xian Chengran believed that this was an opportunity given to him by God in the dark, and if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for him to take revenge in his life.
Just when Gu Xiancheng was trying to boost his morale, in the dense forest opposite Gaoling Mountain, a big flag with the word "Qin" suddenly floated out, the big flag was mysteriously black, black and cold, and appeared in everyone's sight without warning, and the hundreds of bandits on the mountain couldn't help but stagnate.
