Although tired, but Zhao Jin did not rest for too long, a short rest for an hour, and then all to the east, back to the area between Yishui and Mengshui, on this road, rested and unrested take turns to ride horses, last night those galloping horses are empty, the rest of the people wait on foot, really can't keep up with the car to take a nap, but the march can not stop, Zhao Jin did not rest, he wore a cuirass and walked in the team.

It was so that when it was dark, five miles away from the first target village, the team could finally rest, and stopped in the hills and forests five miles away, in order to keep it hidden, the team did not light a fire, but just took cold cakes, dried meat, and pickled vegetables to deal with it, and the next day before dawn, all the teams just got up and set off.

When Zhao Jin's team appeared outside the village, the whole village was at a loss, in fact, when the village gate was opened, and Zhao Jin rushed in, the village realized that a small lock of more than 100 people who took refuge here was all disarmed without even having time to resist, and the disposal was very simple.

Looking at the scene of rivers of blood flowing and heads rolling all over the ground, and then looking at Zhao Ziying's wolf-like iron horse, the villagers didn't dare to have any intention of resisting, but they were secretly glad that the other party didn't kill everyone in the village, and everyone was warned to Zhao Ziying as an iron law, and the second village that Zhao Jin's team was going to was thirty miles away from this side, but no one dared to ventilate and report the news.

The attack on the second target can not be so secretive, when I saw the Zhao Ziying appear, the dozens of horses escaped from the Zhuangzi, and ran to the north for their lives, the light cavalry of the Zhao Zi Battalion chased directly up, for this pursuit, the fire gun family Ding gave up the horses, the horses of the Zhao Zi Camp were strong, and one person and two horses, as long as there were no twists and turns at noon, they could catch up.

Although the people in this Zhuangzi kept saying that they were coerced, but the Zhao Ziying was still ready to attack, of course, this Zhuangzi was ready from beginning to end, and there was no intention of opening the door at all, but the resistance of a qiē ended after the first artillery was fired, and even before the Zhao Ziying family went up to attack, there was infighting in the Zhuangzi, and it didn't take long for the Zhuangmen suspension bridge to be lowered, and someone knelt on the side of the road with a person's head, and invited the Zhao Ziying to enter.

Here, Zhao Jin did not go on a killing spree, but just punished a few villains who colluded with bandits in accordance with public opinion, and then set off to the next target, according to the report of the scout, there are not many bandits in the third place, that is, more than 50 people, but Zhuangzi is the scale of more than 400 households, but the small number of people is meaningless to the families led by Zhao Jin, the more resistance is fierce, the more people will be killed.

"Big brother, I'm afraid that the ringing horse that ran out will pass over there, and then all the thieves in the village will run away." Yoshika has her own worries.

But after arriving at the Zhuangzi, Ji Xiang found that his worries were superfluous, none of the thieves ran, but the three leaders were injured, and the rest were slaughtered, and were closely guarded by Ding Zhuang of the Zhuangzi.

The three bandit leaders were tortured and then beheaded, and the leaders involved in these things in the Zhuangzi were called over for questioning, and then Zhao Jin sent the horseback rider to pick up the light cavalry that was pursuing, and his team rested and waited in this village, looking at the majesty of the man and horse like a dragon, looking at the sharp blade iron armor and even artillery, this Zhuangzi trembled up and down, did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and could not afford to think carefully.

An hour later, the cart behind arrived here, looking at the cart full of supplies, the attitude of the Zhuangzi was much more respectful, and after returning with the first light horse, all the feelings of the Zhuangzi up and down turned into fear and abruptness, the big man in charge of the Zhuangzi ran to Zhao Jin and kowtowed, crying and admitting that he also sent people to Juzhou and Yishui to ask for help, please Zhao Jin must be gracious, seeing that the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou have such strength, he can't help but be afraid, the official army is not an opponent at all.

"The officers and soldiers have already come, and they will leave far away." Zhao Jin smiled and appeased the panic of this big family, such a place can only exist by itself, not to mention the rules of the king, not to mention righteousness and the like, who can suppress them, who can give them benefits, then they will kowtow and obey, although this Zhuangzi has cleared himself and said that he did not participate in the action against Xuzhou Grange, it is difficult to say whether it is actually clean or not.

However, Zhao Jin is no longer ready to deal with them, no matter what happened before, this time this Zhuangzi is qualified, let them go, and compare it with the villages and villages that were bloodbathed and killed in front of him, and the local people here will know what to do in the future.

But this successive attack and raid from Mengyin County did not allow the enemy to escape, and the deterrent effect of blood and killing was also sufficient, but the things that came out of torture and questioning were no different from before, and almost all the roots could be chased to Shujiazhuang's side, everyone was already resentful of outsiders in Xuzhou, and the Shu family, who was already not low in prestige, came forward in tandem, and many people immediately responded to Jing Cong, and the Xiangma bandits were also related to the Shu family, either because the Shu family was ordered to dispatch by the gentry behind them, or because the Shu family introduced people to come up, There are also because the Shu family gives enough benefits.

"The Shu family is the key, but the Shu family won't know too much, under such torture, all the private things have been said, and there is no reason not to talk about such major things that may be able to change lives, it seems that I have to go to the capital to ask." On the way back the next day, Zhao Jin delayed too long in Nazhuangzi, and after replenishing a batch of supplies with fair trading and money and goods, he immediately led the brigade to return, and discussed with Ji Xiang on the way about the harvest of this battle to suppress bandits.

Maybe it's something in the dark, maybe it's a coincidence, Zhao Jin's team rushed to come, and the first thing to break was Shujiazhuang, and when he was tortured, it was Ji Xiang who led people to do it, and it was really a character who let you pour copper and iron, and they would let you speak, but there was not much news you got, and there was no big difference from what was asked later.

"Big brother, all this mess is because of the dam breach over there, right? The sesame big flood outside the clothes became a catastrophe, and as a result, no one could hold it back, but I can still figure it out when there is trouble in Jining, what are you doing here, those Zhuangzi are all new, and even this side is not our territory, this person must have spent a lot of effort, what is the picture? Yoshika asked suspiciously.

"I can't figure it out either, the only thing I can think of is that they want to show others, our Zhao Ziying is not unaffordable, not convinced everywhere, and there are still many unstables." Zhao Jin said contemplatively.

After saying this, Zhao Jin said again: "Maybe like many things in the past, this qiē is just a façade, and they have other purposes." ”

"Big brother, what purpose can it be?"

"I don't know, although our internal guards are strong, they can only keep an eye on a few points, and the key to a qiē depends on what Master Shu of the Jingshi knows."

"Big brother, there are many yamen and officials in the capital, Ma Liu, they have been hiding, it's okay to raid and assassinate on the street, but if you want to arrest a Beijing official and torture you, is this possible?"

"It's not a big man in the inner court and the outer court, nor is it a famous figure in the world, what's impossible about this, it's just whether we are willing to do it or not." Zhao Jin said with a sneer, and after saying two words, Zhao Jin fell into deep thought again, and Ji Xiang didn't dare to disturb him when he looked like this.

After a while, Zhao Jin raised his head and said: "Go at the speed of the march, hurry up and go to Gegoudian, rest in Gegoudian for half a day, and then go to Yizhou, and then rest on the Tianjia's Zhuangzi." ”

"Big brother, the brothers haven't rested much along the way, and now this side has been flattened by us, who dares to take the lead and toss, even if the officers and soldiers come up, they are not afraid, let everyone breathe a sigh of relief." Yoshika couldn't help but say.

"Maintaining the speed of the march is not without rest, this place in Qingzhou Mansion is not our territory, and there can be no carelessness." Zhao Jin said very strictly, at this time Ji Xiang didn't dare to refute, he was very familiar with his eldest brother, and knew that this was what Zhao Jin had in mind.

Maintain the speed of the march, but the gap between the rest during the day is short, and you still have to camp and rest at night, you don't have to run overnight, you can eat hot soup and hot rice, and you can sleep peacefully in your own camp, everyone recovers very quickly, all the emotions are high, elated, although this rush is boiling, but every battle will be won, and there is no sacrifice on their side, a few injured are minor injuries on the mountain road to the twist, everyone has merit, but most of the family members just feel a simple happiness, If you are too bored in training, you can come out and move, and the real battle is this kind of relaxation and fun.

Compared with the happiness of the family, Ji Xiang is a little listless, and he doesn't hide his boredom, "What kind of miscellaneous bags are these, saying that killing chickens is carried by a bull knife, and it doesn't even count moving hands and feet." The local bandit regiment training is really not worth mentioning in front of the family members of Zhao Ziying.

The team led by Zhao Jin went all the way back to Gegoudian, and had a day off in Gegoudian, so that the horses could get a full rest, it is said that Gegoudian at this time was already a safe place, four regimental training companies were stationed, a large number of materials were stationed, plus Zhao Jin's own strength of the team, no one around could shake it at all, but Zhao Jin did not delay here, and a day later he led the brigade to continue south, and arranged for Zhao Ziying's strength in Gegoudian to withdraw to Yanzhou Mansion.

This southward journey kept making Ji Xiang and the family a little puzzled, such a march seemed to be chased by someone behind them, obviously showing his majesty over there, why did he leave so quickly, when was Zhao Ziying afraid, but this was thought in his heart, and no one would say it clearly.
