Lu Fang just laughed and said to Han Feihong: "Old Han! Go and have someone take out all the property!"
Han Feihong ordered his soldiers to go.
Next, Lu Fangfang waited quietly.
I was thinking, what was Huang Sanpao doing at the Red Lady in Hutoushan?
Within a moment, the Chaling soldiers ran out.
Some were carrying burdens.
Some were carrying sacks.
These bandits were actually richer than Lu Fang imagined.
There were gold, silver, copper plates, food, wine, and even meat.
Two Chaling sergeants drove some pigs out of nowhere.
It's a pity that there is no horse.
Lu Fang thought about it and asked the bandits: "There are no horses on your mountain?"
"There are horses! But they are kept at the foot of the mountain!"
"I was ridden to Hutou Mountain by the boss."
Immediately a bandit replied.
Lu Fang shrugged his eyebrows.
Also, even if there is a horse, it cannot be pulled up.
Seeing that the Chaling Army officers had cleaned up the entire fortress, he said to Han Feihong: "Old Han, take them all back!"
Han Feihong looked at the women, "What about these women?"
Lu Fang said: "Let's take them all back to the county government first."
Then he whispered to Old Xiao: "Old Xiao, take Uncle Niu to take a small road and go back first."
He didn't want these bandits to see what Niu Laogen looked like, because he couldn't guarantee that these bandits would protect him in the future.
As for how to deal with these bandits, he still had to go back and discuss with Luliang. He didn't know much about this.
Lao Xiao didn't say anything and went directly.
Lu Fang turned around and said to the bandits: "Someone will lead the way down the mountain!"
A bandit trotted forward.
That's how human nature is.
If they had all fought stubbornly before, then perhaps these people would have fought to the end. But now that they have all surrendered, they are vying to show off in front of Lu Fang.
You only have one life, and everyone wants to keep it.
Lu Fang, Han Feihong and the bandits leading the way were in front, and behind them, the Chaling sergeants surrounded the bandits and headed down the mountain.
The mountain road is rugged.
In some places, it is only a few dozen centimeters wide.
Some bandits took the opportunity to escape.
Then, he was killed by the Chaling Army soldiers with crossbow arrows.
This was enough to scare the remaining bandits.
The combat effectiveness of the Chaling Army exceeded their imagination.
Even Er Maozi, who was yelling fiercely before, didn't even dare to run away.
In this way, we went all the way to Youxian County.
There is still more than an hour before noon.
There are still no soldiers guarding the city gate.
The Chaling Army escorted so many bandits, carrying burdens, sacks, and whole pigs, and swaggered into the city, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
"Those are bandits?"
"It should be."
"These Chaling troops are so powerful! To arrest so many people, I'm afraid they have to pick a big mountain, right?"
"Who knows?"
"But this is the first time this has happened to us in You County. How could any previous county magistrate have ever had such a seizure?"
"Hmm, I think this new county magistrate may have wiped out all the bandits."
"By then, we in You County will be able to live a peaceful life."
"..."
There were whispers in the crowd.
Han Feihong and the other Chaling soldiers' faces glowed.
It’s so respectable!
For them, this was also their first "big victory" since joining the army.
The bandits lowered their heads and remained silent.
Arrive at the county government office.
There were many people following behind and watching.
"Back?"
Lu Liang stood happily at the door. When Lu Fang and the others came closer, he asked with a smile on his face.
He had been standing at the door for a while. Ever since he saw Lu Fang and the others, he couldn't stop smiling.
It was Lao Xiao and Niu Laogen who came back first and told him about the Chaling Army's victory over Dahuang Mountain.
Lu Fang nodded and said, "How to deal with these guys?"
Lu Liang said: "According to law, he should be exiled."
Then he showed some embarrassment, "But right now there are not many officers in the county government, and there are so many bandits, I'm afraid we can't exile them..."
Lu Fang said: "Then let's lock them all up for now and then report it to the government for a decision?"
"That's my plan too."
Luliang Road.
Lu Fang nodded, "Then take them all to the dungeon first."
The dungeon in You County is right inside the county government office.
There are also county school offices, warehouses, etc., all here.
It can be said that all important departments are concentrated in the county government. This greatly saves the manpower required for guarding.
Lu Liang looked at Han Feihong and said, "General Han, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to watch this dungeon in the future."
By this time, there were almost no officials still working in the county government.
Han Feihong chuckled and nodded, "Easy to say."
Then, he ordered his brothers to escort the bandits to the county government office.
Lu Fang asked Lu Liang: "Are Lao Xiao and Uncle Niu back?"
"Back."
Lu Liang nodded.
Lu Fang looked back at those pitiful women and said, "You all follow me in."
Take these women to the county government hall.
Lao Xiao and Niu Laogen are both standing here.
"Girl!"
Niu Laogen's eyes instantly focused on a woman, and he ran up to her with tears streaming down his face.
In fact, you can't say she is a woman. Judging from her appearance, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Perhaps due to long-term lack of nutrition, some of them are skinny and look even smaller.
But she is indeed a beautiful woman.
"grandfather?"
Niu Laogen's granddaughter didn't come back to her senses until Niu Laogen hugged her.
The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried.
And this actually made the other women look envious.
They were taken captive to the mountains for various reasons.
Some of them were passing by, some were well-educated near Dahuang Mountain, and some were even sent to the mountain by their husbands.
For no other reason than to exchange some money from those bandits.
Of course, there is no way of saying that they were originally those bandit wives.
Just because they are all dressed similarly, I can't tell them apart.
Lu Fang watched Niu Laogen's grandfather and grandson gather together, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
You don't need to think about it to know that some women must have been tortured to death on the mountain. Niu Laogen's granddaughter is still alive, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
He said to the other women: "You all come in! Tell me your names and places of origin."
Then he looked at Lu Liang and said, "You, the county magistrate, can only make the register yourself."
Lu Liang smiled bitterly and nodded.
It is really pitiful for a county magistrate to do this.
After entering the court, Lu Fang asked and Lu Liang wrote and registered the information of these women on paper.
Most of them are from other counties, or they are far away from Youxian County.
Those bandits are really good at plundering their own territory.
"You all go!"
After the registration was completed, Lu Fang waved at these women.
However, these women did not move.
Immediately afterwards, a woman knelt down on the ground and cried: "Master Qingtian! Our home is far away from here, and we are penniless. I'm afraid we won't be able to go back..."
As soon as she took the lead, several women knelt down and brushed against each other.
They all cried bitterly.
Lack of money is one aspect.
Worrying about being kidnapped by bandits again on the road is another aspect.
