The group of bandits who came here were another powerful group of bandits in Qingzhou Prefecture, Jue Shanhu from Shahugou.
Shahugou is located in the east of Jiwu Shandong, nearly a hundred miles away from Yishui County. Generally, people rarely come to Yishui County. This sudden killing in Yishui County was caused by the annihilation of Qinglang Peak. .
The three major bandits in Qingzhou Prefecture also had some contact with each other, and sometimes they would send letters and messages. Therefore, after Qinglang Peak was annihilated by the militia, a few bandits who slipped through the net fled to Shahu. Gou, go and seek refuge with the master Jue Shanhu.
After Jueshanhu learned that Qinglang Peak had been wiped out, he couldn't help but be shocked. He asked why it was actually wiped out by a militia group, and he felt even more unbelievable: How could a militia group be so powerful? So he called in to kill the tiger. The other two leaders of the ditch, the second boss's backer Xiong Xiong and the third boss's mountain rat, discussed what they should do now? Will this militia group come to kill Hugou?
The second boss, Mountain Bear, is a rough man who knows nothing but murder and arson. In terms of IQ, he is not much better than the real mountain bear, so when the three of them discuss important matters, he is basically silent. The third boss is a mountain bear. Shu Dao had been reading for several years and had quite a few clever ideas. He often showed himself to be very intelligent, so he picked up a few dog hair by his cheeks, imitated Zhuge Liang's slow and leisurely manner on the stage, and said leisurely: "Brother, you wrong."
Jue Shanhu said: "Lao San, what did I do wrong?"
The mountain rat said: "How strong is a militia enemy that can destroy Qinglang Peak? In my opinion, this must have been done by the officers and soldiers. And the people who fled to us there are probably afraid that we are afraid of the officers and soldiers. I didn't dare to take them in, so I made up some kind of vigilante group. I can't hide it from my brother."
After hearing this, Jueshanhu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. So, do you think the army will come to attack our Shahugou Valley?"
The mountain rat shook his head and said: "Our Shahugou can't be compared to his Qinglang Peak. If the officers and soldiers don't come, it will be fine. If they come, let me set up a Bagua formation, no matter what Tell the officers and soldiers that they will never come back." As he spoke, he puffed up his chest and hugged his sleeves, which was just a big fan with a goose pen.
Sure enough, after a few days, there was no movement from the officers and soldiers. Jueshanhu and Backer Xiong admired Laosan's ingenious plan. But Shanshanhu believed that the officers and soldiers of Yishui County would never be able to destroy Qinglang Peak. They must be soldiers and horses sent by Qingzhou Prefecture, or even soldiers and horses sent by Dengzhou Prefecture. Now that Qinglang Peak has been destroyed, the soldiers and horses have naturally retreated, so now is a good time to attack at Shahugou. As the saying goes, when the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy retreats, I advance, this is the way to use troops.
Both Jueshan Tiger and Backing Bear agreed, and at the end of the year, it was time to go down the mountain to rob some New Year goods. So the three Zhaishan led 2,500 bandits, broke out of Shahugou, and headed towards Yishui River. The county came to kill him.
I heard that the bandits from Shahugou came to kill more than 2,000 people. When they arrived at Daqiuling Village, which was more than 20 miles away from the county seat, everyone was also very surprised. There were only more than 300 soldiers in the county, and there had been Hualong did not make too much fuss when he came to Yishui County this time. He only brought a thousand troops with him, and 500 were still stationed in the county. In total, they were only more than half of the bandits.
Zeng Hualong immediately ordered to return to the county seat and immediately fight against the bandits. Several generals were embarrassed, because they naturally had to fight against the bandits. However, the numbers of the two sides were vastly different, so this battle was not going to be easy.
So several generals glanced at each other, but Liu Tianxi understood and immediately said: "Sir, General Yimo, although there are many bandits, they are just a bunch of rabble. The militia in the three villages are not the bandits who once wiped out Qinglang Peak."
What? Why not ask them to fight, so that we can see how General Shang Qian uses troops."
Zeng Hualong's heart moved. Although he thought that Shang Yi was indeed a talented person and had seen the training of regiment soldiers, he had never seen the militia in action, so he still had some doubts. However, this was a good opportunity to watch.
Looking at the strength of the militia on the battlefield, it was a bit unreasonable to let a militia fight while leaving the official army here. So I looked at Shang Yi, obviously hoping that he would take the initiative to ask for orders.
Sure enough, Shang Yi took a step forward and said: "Sir, when the bandits come, our villages will inevitably be plundered. Therefore, it is the duty of our militia to resist the bandits. I ask for your permission to let our militia fight against them."
Bandit."
Zeng Hualong nodded, walked down the slope and said: "Okay, today you will recruit a militia group, and tomorrow we will gather outside Yishui County to form the front line to fight against the bandits. I will lead the imperial army to wait for backup for you. If
If you cannot defeat the bandits, I will personally lead the troops to fight to the death with the bandits."
Then Zeng Hualong didn't even bother to eat, so he immediately took his troops back to Yishui County and arranged to fight the bandits. The accompanying civil and military officials did not object, after all, the county was safer.
After Zeng Hualong and his party left, Zhou Shiqi, Huang Dongshan, and Zhao Bingyi all came to congratulate Shang Yi. All three of them had seen what happened just now. Seeing that Shang Yi gave up his position as a Qianhu in order to continue to protect this area, he was willing to do so.
They were all very moved to be a Qianzong. Naturally, they knew the difference between Qianzong and Qianhu. At the same time, they also made up their minds to do their best to support Shang Yi's work in the future.
Because it was Zhou Shiqi, he even began to consider whether he should use all the strength of the Zhou family to support Shang Yi and tightly tie the future fate of the Zhou family to Shang Yi. It is a pity that he only has two sons and no daughter.
, otherwise you can marry Shang Yi to make the relationship between the two parties closer. In his own clan, there are several daughters who have not yet been married, but unfortunately they are not the real ones and their status is not high. Moreover, Shang Yi also has a fiancée.
Zhou Shiqi had also seen this girl. Not to mention that she was extremely beautiful. At the same time, even though she was not yet married, it was obvious that the two of them had a great relationship. Therefore, if she found a clan girl to marry, she could only be Shang Yi's concubine.
You can't get a wife either. This kind of marriage is not of much use.
However, Shang Yi's fiancée Ye Yaoyao and Zhou Shaohuan's fiancée Tang Juan have a very good relationship, so they can start from this aspect, such as making the two become sisters, or waiting for Shang Yi to take office and help him make a smooth transition.
A wedding, or setting it up now so that the future children of Shang Yi and Zhou Shaohuan can get married, are also very good ways to strengthen the relationship between the two parties. It just depends on how it is used.
Of course Shang Yi didn't know that Zhou Shiqi was now thinking about how to get closer to him. What he was thinking about now was tomorrow's battle. This battle is not only related to the safety of these villages, but will also directly affect
He knew his position in Zeng Hualong's heart, so he could not afford to lose anything. So he immediately decided to send out a reconnaissance team to first conduct all-out research on the bandits' movements, number of people, military appearance, etc.
At the same time, he ordered that all the men of the main force be mobilized, and all the youth groups of the auxiliary regiments be mobilized to gather at Wangjiadatun tonight and set out together early tomorrow morning to Yishui County to fight the bandits.
At this time, Huang Dongshan and Zhao Bingyi were extremely grateful to him. Naturally, they gave their full support and immediately returned to the village to mobilize the troops. At the same time, they also said that they would rush to Yishui County in person tomorrow to watch and cheer for the militia.
After everyone left, Shang Yi also returned to his home and said goodbye to Ye Yaoyao. Because he would spend the night in Wangjiadatun today. He was still thinking that he had originally planned to move his family to Wangjiadatun, but
He was afraid that Zhou Shiqi had some ideas, so he didn't implement them. Now he didn't have to do it. When he settled down at Muling Pass, he would take Ye Yaojia over.
When he returned home, as soon as he entered the door, Liu's mother came up to congratulate him, and immediately changed her name to call him: Master. It turned out that someone with a quick tongue had already spread the good news to the family. The whole family was very happy.
Shang Yi then asked: "Where is Yaoyao?"
Liu Ma said: "The little lady heard that the master is going to fight bandits tomorrow. She is not staying at home today, and is helping the master pack his luggage upstairs! Master, please go up and see her! I will go to cook immediately and let the master eat.
After that, we can set off immediately."
Shang Yi nodded and then went upstairs to his room. Sure enough, he saw Ye Yaoqi in his room. There was a large wicker box on the table. She was folding clothes one by one and putting them in the box.
Shang Yi walked up behind her and said, "I'm just going out for one day. Do I need to bring so many clothes?"
Ye Yaoyao was startled. When she turned around, she realized it was Shang Yi. She patted her chest and said coquettishly, "Brother, why did you come in suddenly? You scared me."
Seeing Ye Yaoyao still looking like a girl with an innocent look, Shang Yi couldn't help but hug her from behind. Although the two of them have not yet broken through the final hurdle, they have been hugging each other for a while.
It is very common to hug, kiss and caress. Therefore, Ye Yaoyao was startled for a moment, but she did not break away. She leaned into his arms, and then followed Shang Yi to move to the bed, and Shang Yi sat on the bed.
Go up, and Ye Yaoyao's whole body is leaning on Shang Yi's arms.
Feeling the soft body in his arms, smelling the fragrance, and looking at Ye Yaoyao's pretty face and her loving eyes, Shang Yi's heartbeat skipped a beat, and he finally lowered his head slowly.
He raised his head, pressed the small mouth of the bright red cherry, and tasted it carefully. Ye Yaoyao also responded enthusiastically, and Shang Yi unconsciously began to gently caress Ye Yaoyao's body. Ye Yaoyao
Her delicate body trembled, and a numbness came over her like a tide, and she also let out a slight gasp. Although she was not really in ecstasy, almost every inch of her skin was touched by Shang Yi.
I don't know how long it took for the two to separate. Ye Yaoyao's pink face became as beautiful as a begonia. Looking at her gorgeous face, Shang Yi felt another impulse in his heart.
At this time, Ye Yaoyao gasped and said: "I heard that my brother has become an official with his classics?"
Shang Yi nodded and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either." Suddenly his heart moved and he said: "After I take office and arrange everything, let's get married, okay?"
Ye Yaojia's pink face was bright red and she was charming, and she whispered: "I listen to my brother. As long as I think it's suitable, I can do it anytime." As he said that, a pair of lotus arms wrapped around Shang Yi's neck, and he took the initiative to hold Shang Yi.
