"The magistrate of Siyangcheng County Ma Kui (Langzhong), has met the lord!"
"Everyone is free from tribute!" Qin Xiao said lightly.
"By the way, let's place these three thousand new affiliated troops in the military camp! Is there any news about the northern baggage team?" Qin Xiao asked as he walked.
"If you want to go back to your parents, the baggage team that set out from Linyi had arrived in this city at noon yesterday. I planned to set off this morning, but I didn't expect you to arrive!" Ma Kui said with a smile.
"The front-line army is in a tight need, so we have to rush forward! By the way, how many defenders are currently in the city?"
Langzhong replied in a deep voice: "Report to the Lord, there are 1,000 garrison troops and 2,000 new affiliated troops!"
"Three thousand people! How could three thousand people make the bandits go into such chaos? Why didn't Langzhong eliminate the bandits around?" Qin Xiao asked angrily.
Langzhong was stunned and didn't know what Qin Xiao said, so he had to say, "Report to you, there are no major bandits around Siyang County. Some of them are hiding in the deep mountains and forests, and it is difficult to pursue!"
"The deep mountains and forests are hard to follow? You are really good. Twenty miles south, is it another big manor? When we arrived there last night, it was already broken by thousands of bandits. By the time our army arrived, it had already been
The property was looted by the bandits, and the people in the village were also killed. Tell me, these thousands of bandits appeared dozens of miles away in your county, but you didn't notice it. If you let them intercept the army
How many heads do you have to compensate for the military supplies required?" Qin Xiao said furiously.
"Ah... it's impossible..." Langzhong was stunned on the spot for a moment.
"Impossible? Do you think I'm lying to you? Now, they are still in the Mount Kou behind Majiazhuang, and it is said that there are clerks." Qin Xiao said with a sneer.
"Damn it!" Ma Kui, who was standing there for a while, shouted angrily with red eyes.
"Sir, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about these bandits!" Seeing Qin Xiao staring at him, Ma Kui explained anxiously, "Sir, then Majiazhuang is my hometown, my father and
The tribe members are all there! Damn it, I want to let those bandits die without a place to bury them." Ma Kui's eyes were red.
"What? Your village? County Ma, you are really, why don't you move it into the county!" Qin Xiao said in surprise.
Ma Kui said sadly: "I planned to move in soon, but who knows... sir, if this bandit is not removed, it will have a great hidden danger to our army's logistics and food route. I will ask for an order to eliminate this bandit, and at the same time,
Avenge your tribe members.”
"Well... there are no less than a thousand bandits, or even more. There are only three thousand people in the city. If you leave, it is up to the eight hundred soldiers in my hands to deal with the problems that arise." Qin Xiao frowned and said.
Ma Kui said anxiously: "Don't worry, sir. In addition to our three thousand original defenders, there are also a thousand garrison troops accompanying the army. They set out from Linyi City to escort this food and grass transportation."
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "It's so great. I planned to send troops to escort us south. It seems that you can completely solve this hidden danger now."
"Langzhong!"
"The mark is here!" Langzhong responded in a deep voice.
"Dire three thousand defenders in Qicheng City, set off immediately to clear out the bandits in the mountains. Even if they cannot be wiped out, they must be dispersed and cannot cause any problems to us in this mission." Qin Xiao ordered to understand in a deep voice.
"But... the task under the mark is to defend the city..." Langzhong was a little embarrassed.
"What? You don't care about your jurisdiction except problems. If the food route is apart from problems, then you will be redeemed for your sins if you die. We will be responsible for the city for the time being. After you solve the bandits, we will be almost rested.
At that time, when you come back to guard, we just leave. What? Do you have any questions?" Qin Xiao said coldly.
Seeing Qin Xiao’s cold eyes and Ma Kui’s scarlet eyes staring at him, Langzhong had to respond.
"Ma Kui, stay, you need to deal with everything in the city, and handle the handover procedures at the same time, and let your people lead the way for Captain Lang!" Seeing Ma Kui also want to follow, Qin Xiao said in a deep voice
He said, kidding, if you leave, we will just turn dark.
Soon, two thousand troops, led by Langzhong, hurriedly left and headed south. In order to prevent it, he deliberately left behind a thousand new affiliated troops. Although the Tang army had occupied the counties for a long time, it was not.
Very stable, there are always some people who want to start a crime. Furthermore, both the garrison troops from Linyi and the garrison troops from the south are not familiar with this. If something really happens, he will have to do it.
Langzhong is responsible. If something really happens, Langzhong will definitely not be able to take advantage of it. Think about it, there will be problems in the county town of his jurisdiction, and it would be strange if there are good results.
"Mr. Qin, this is Lord Wei who came to Linyi to escort military supplies!"
"Mr. Wei, this is the Captain Qin who was sent by the right general to welcome the supplies, Lord Qin!"
Ma Kui introduced each other to the two officers with a smile.
"Mr. Wei, do you know Wei Zhong, the captain of the former army?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked after a simple etiquette.
Wei Yang smiled and said, "It's the brother who is not good at being good at it. Why? Brother Qin knows the brothers?"
Qin Xiao's face paused slightly and hesitated, "Brother Wei, I have done a mission with Brother Ling, now... now..." After talking for a while, he didn't say anything.
Wei Yang looked at Qin Xiao's face and hesitant words, and his heart skipped a beat and said anxiously: "Has something happened to my brother?"
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "This... this... Isn't really clear about it, but my newly-entrusted soldiers seem to have your brother's subordinates. Why not do this? Let's go to our army's rest camp to take a look.
, ask if something went wrong. Because I was injured during the battle with the Tang army, I never came forward on the front line. Once my injuries healed, I was sent to protect the materials south, so I was not very clear. However, it seems that
It seems something really happened."
"Chief Li Guo, go to the camp and gather the soldiers from the commander of Wei's lieutenant and wait for a question in the big tent." Qin Xiao turned his head and said to Zhao Xun behind him.
Zhao Xun responded: "I obey the order!" He knew that Qin Xiao was going to take down the Wei Captain.
"Okay, let's go now!" When Wei Yang heard something happened to his younger brother, he could no longer sit still and immediately urged him.
The camp in the south of the city was originally vacant and became a place for rest and rest for the supplies. In addition to a thousand garrison troops who came from Linyi and escorted the supplies, there were three thousand young and strong civilians. In addition,
The new affiliated army stationed under Qin Xiao's command.
Originally, Zhao Xun planned to make these 3,000 people a young and middle-aged man, but considering that the weapons were not good, they became a new affiliated army.
On the south side of the camp, Qin Xiao's commander's tent.
"Brother Qin, where are the soldiers of my brother's subordinates?" Wei Yang asked anxiously as soon as he entered the commander's tent.
Qin Xiao's face changed uncertainly, and Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Sir, you have gathered and you can bring them here, so don't hesitate."
Qin Xiao's face darkened and he said, "Come on, let them in!"
"Huahuhuhu..." More than ten fully armed soldiers came in, and they unshelfed their swords in their hands, quickly suppressing the four guards beside Wei Yang. Outside the tent, bursts of screams came from time to time.
Wei Yang and Ma Kui's face changed rapidly, and he didn't know what was going on.
"According to the military order of the Right General, the Wei brothers were dismissed from their posts and wait for review!" Zhao Xun shouted sternly.
"Qin Xiao, what are you doing? What's going on?" Wei Yang asked angrily.
"Brother Wei, I am also following the order. If you offend me, please forgive me! Take off your armor and take it to the opposite military camp!" Seeing that Zhao Xun did not directly kill Wei Yang, Qin Xiao's expression calmed down. Then he thought of using
The general's military orders are to smoothly disarm the opponent's 1,000 garrison troops.
Soon, although the soldiers under Wei Yang were extremely angry at the innocent being transferred by his commander, they did not dare to act rashly with the general's military order, so they had to take off their armor and equipment.
"General Li, what should I do now? What are your plans?" Qin Xiao asked in a deep voice after solving the thousand garrison troops in the city.
"What should I do? Of course, I robbed all the weapons and equipment. This is something that has thousands of people in our hands. It naturally used it."
"Guan Lin, contact the equipment of the thousand new affiliated troops who were left behind! They were imprisoned in the military camp. Lu Yu took over the treasury in the city and opened warehouses to release grain. Anyway, we can't take these things away, so why not give them to you
People, Li Guochang, take over the city gate defense. By the way, I posted a notice to announce the whole city. Just say, our Shanyang Prefecture Army is back." Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.
The sun is rising, and the city is filled with varied sounds.
The government troops came back, and the government troops in the south came back.
What? Don’t you believe it? Go to the county government gate to take a look. The head of the black-hearted county magistrate Ma Kui, who betrayed Siyang County, was hanging on the flagpole in front of the county government.
And in front of the treasury, several long queues were arranged. Why? That was because the government army was distributing food and everyone had a share.
"Guan Lin, collect all the horses in the city and tell the brothers that no heavy armor except for light armor such as leather armor and cloth armor."
"Increase the efforts to release grain in the city, and the more you drive, the better!"
"Take all the property in the treasury that can be taken away, and you can't take it away, and you can find a place to bury it and cannot leave it to the Tang army."
"Prepare more dry food and dried meat patties, and bring as much as possible without affecting your actions."
"Report... General, some people in the city asked to join the army and fight against the Tang army."
"Tell them that this city cannot be defended and our army will not stay here for a long time. If you are willing to fight outside the field with our army, then come on. By the way, those who are not physically strong will not do anything."
"General, we are leaving? But we have already captured Siyang City!" Guan Lin said with some distress.
"Guard? We have stabbed a hornet's nest now. It won't take long before the Tang army in the surrounding counties will encircle us. Do you think that with more than 3,000 of us, we can defend the unfounded Siyang City?" Zhao Xun
He said in a deep voice.
"Oh...it's a pity!"
"You are content. We have obtained more than 100,000 arrows, more than 5,000 bows and more than 2,000 armors. What are you still dissatisfied with? We have made more money than before." Li Guochang said in a deep voice.
