Chapter 373: The Head of the Thieves
After Shi Hao continued to listen to those people, he realized that these people's families were also rich people before, but they were defeated halfway because of the bandits doing evil everywhere. And they joined the army of this new Shenwu Alliance in order to be able to use the power of the army to eliminate the thieves and avenge their families. After Shi Hao understood the reason why these people were willing to follow him, he nodded his head to show respect, and said, "This time, dozens of people will follow me, and I promise to bring them all back safely!" With that, Shi Hao led his men and horses to continue on the road, and searched around for thieves in other places around the area.
------------------------
Night is gradually falling, but the stronghold that has been abandoned by the fat and tall thieves who have torn up the tickets is full of laughter, singing and dancing. I saw that the sergeants under Gongsun Yue, who were unwilling to follow Shi Hao and others to continue to suppress the bandits, were busy recuperating, and they were next to each other, bringing out the wine left by the thieves and presenting it, and tasting it alive. And that's what they call it a great state.
Soon, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, the sergeants staggered one by one, and did not forget to shout: "Brothers, tomorrow we will go back to ask for merit, this is a great achievement, our general Gongsun may give some of our brother commanders a promotion as soon as he is happy." "It's just that they don't seem to see such a beautiful scene, at least, these people of theirs don't have the life to go back. Under the good cover of this night, the group of thieves who had abandoned their strongholds during the day returned! They had long known the style of these stupid New Shenwu Alliance sergeants, and they had added medicine to their wine, and they were now back to take their lives.
I saw that this gang of thieves had obviously harvested a lot of lives under their hands, and in less than a stick of incense, they silently strangled all the soldiers in this stronghold in a drunken dream. After cleaning up the scene, another person who looked like a beautiful scholar walked out, but this person was the supreme leader of this gang of thieves. And this person's name is Yang Xiuqing, a C-level historical NPC, who was one of the leaders of the Taiping Army's uprising in history, but the final defeat of the Taiping Army began from this person. Here, his skill is called Sincere Seduction, and he is good at inciting the hearts of the outcasts, which is also the basis for him to single-handedly pull out a gang of thieves.
At this time, the group of people under Yang Xiuqing reported to him, Yang Xiuqing was very satisfied, this time he killed so many sergeants, and took all the equipment that burst out of their bodies as his own. Yang Xiuqing said proudly: "That's right! Did you find the leader of their gang? I'm going to live. Yang Xiuqing thought that the leader of this group of people might have something better on him. But his subordinates said, "Chief, we haven't found anyone who looks like a leader." Could it be that there is no tour leader? Yang Xiuqing convulsed and said: "This is impossible, if they didn't have a group of wine bags and rice bags, if the team leader hadn't gotten them something, where would it be possible to force us to escape temporarily?" It would have been killed by the men we sent out a long time ago. "He really didn't make a mistake in judgment, after all, it wasn't the first time he had killed the people of the New Shenwu Alliance.
Yang Xiuqing immediately ordered his subordinates to search and arrest everywhere, and he must arrest the leader of this group alive, he planned to either subdue that person, or kill the treasure on that person completely after scavenging it, so as not to leave future troubles. And his men were quick to act.
------------------------
The sun rose in the early morning, and Shi Hao and the others also camped last night to rest, and then continued to walk along the road. Soon after, the group led the party to a ravine, and when they saw that there was a stream and a river where there were people living beside the river, they ran to inquire about it. Shi Hao walked up to an old man and said, "Old man, may I ask if there are thieves around here, how many are there?" The old man was hoeing the ground, and he was startled when he heard Shi Hao come over with a sergeant and asked, and said, "Master Jun, saying this will cause trouble." The old man cautiously added, "There are many thieves in this neighborhood, large and small, but there is one of the largest. Shi Hao listened to the old man talk carefully for a long time, and then he was sure that the head of the biggest thief was Yang Xiuqing, and Yang Xiuqing's place happened to be the stronghold that Shi Hao cleaned up yesterday.
When the old man heard this, Yang Xiuqing was actually exterminated? He felt incredible. He said: "Is this true, there were several military masters who came to exterminate Yang Xiuqing with men and horses before, but they all failed. It's amazing that we succeeded this time, it's great, it's great. "This old man is obviously often harassed by the thieves in this neighborhood, and he hates the thieves very much. The old man was happy, and quickly explained the situation of the remaining thieves in the vicinity to Shi Hao.
Shi Hao left some meager money for the old man as a thank you, and turned around and led the people and horses to the place where the old man guided him to suppress the bandits. And I have to say that this old man is indeed powerful, but wherever this old man has instructed, there are really thieves infested. Coupled with Shi Hao's vigorous and resolute action, more than half of the thieves in the vicinity were wiped out in just one day's effort.
It is estimated that in three days at most, the remaining thieves in this vicinity should be dead. Shi Hao and the others couldn't help but laugh happily and relaxedly, and the sergeants who came with them knew that Shi Hao and the others were indeed powerful, and they took them to kill these thieves without letting them lose a single one! And this! Where is the horror and luck that the dead sergeants who refused to come over can experience?
------------------------
In Yang Xiuqing's thief stronghold, suddenly, a group of people who were also thieves but should not have interfered with each other poured in. Yang Xiuqing greeted the group with a smile, and he was well-informed, and he clearly knew that this group of people was now cornered, so wouldn't it be a good time to officially recruit this group of people into his subordinates! Speaking of which, he had actually wanted to do this for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the people in the neighborhood were too scattered, and there was no external coercion in the past that made these people have to bow to him, he would have succeeded a long time ago.
I saw that Yang Xiuqing was so angry, and he pretended to say in the hall of the stronghold: "There are friends from afar, don't you say it?" The thieves who came in scoffed at this, but they had to bow their heads to the current situation, they had been killed by Shi Hao's team, and now they couldn't even find a suitable place to stay, so they had to say: "Master Yangzhai, polite, polite." Here, but the host's house, we are only guests, there is something to do, but please command, we will do our best. ”
