Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 375
In Xuanyang City, bandits are rampant and people are displaced.

The situation in this location is almost a replica of that near Pingyang, Lu State. Because of the connivance of the sect, the outside of the city has almost become a three-way zone.

The people here are often robbed, and those who have money move into the jurisdiction of the sect, and those who have no money can only escape into the mountains and forests, and keep company with worms, wolves, tigers and leopards.

The biggest bandit force in this place is Heifeng Ridge. There are more than a thousand bandits gathered on the ridge.

Heifengling has a radius of more than [-] miles, and it has almost become a restricted area for human survival. No common people dare to live here, and no caravan passes through.

On the Heifeng Ridge, there were crowds of people.

"Big boss, there are fewer and fewer fat sheep nearby. Every time we rob a house, we have to run far away. This is not a long-term solution."

A man dressed like a scribe spoke with a sad face.

Heifengling was the head of the family, but when he heard the words, he said angrily: "Those guys have escaped, so what can I do if no one robs me?"

When the person dressed like a scribe heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and there was a trace of boredom.

This person was originally a down-and-out scholar, although he was full of desire to serve the country, but his background was too low, and his family was poor, so he had no way to gain fame.

Later, the head of Heifengling led the crowd to plunder, and after knowing that this person was a scholar, he considered that there was no military advisor in the village, so he took this person captive up the mountain.

It has to be said that although the head of the family is vulgar and cruel, he respects this down-and-out scholar very much.

The respect of Heifengling's master also moved the heart of the down-and-out scholar.

After all, it is very difficult for a person like him, even if he has some talent in his chest, to gain fame and be reused by the government.

In the final analysis, it is still too bad to be a poor scholar.

The down-and-out scholar lived in the cottage for a period of time, seeing that there was no way to escape, and the head of the family treated him very respectfully, so he wanted to work for the cottage.

Heifengling is similar to the Heisha gang in Pingyang. They not only seek money, but are also very cruel and bloodthirsty.

The down-and-out scholar inspected the cottage for a period of time, and soon felt that it was impossible for the cottage to continue to develop in the long run.

Because of Heifengling's perverse actions, sooner or later the nearby people will be scared away.

Without these people, no matter how fierce Heifengling was, there would be no one to rob.

In addition, in the heart of the down-and-out scholar, he still had some sympathy for those common people, so he immediately began to persuade the head of the family, let him only rob the wealth without killing his life, and don't kill all the robbed wealth, and leave some property for the robbed to spend .

The people have always been very patient. If they were not persecuted, they would not be able to survive and would not leave their homes.

Seeing that the down-and-out scholar was finally willing to make suggestions for himself, the master was immediately overjoyed and adopted the suggestion of the down-and-out scholar.

Sometimes, notoriety is also a deterrent. After a wicked person suddenly becomes kind, what he gets may not be approval, but provocation.

After the head of Heifengling acted according to plan, the other bandit groups saw the changes in Heifengling, and began to feel that Heifengling was weak and deceitful, and came to attack many times.

Although Heifengling defeated all these bandits in the end, his own losses were not small, which made the head of Heifengling feel resentful.

Since then, the head of Heifengling no longer listened to the strategy of the down-and-out scholar, but only asked him to manage logistics and supplies.

As for Heifengling, it has returned to the previous three-light state of killing, burning, and looting, which is even worse than before.

Although the down-and-out scholar wanted to persuade him, it didn't work at all.

Today, due to the oppression of Heifengling, almost all the people nearby have disappeared, which makes Heifengling fall into the current predicament.

It can be seen that the head of Heifengling is not in a good state now, and his temper has naturally become irritable.

"Master, if it really doesn't work, we might as well change to another place."

After hesitating for a while, the down-and-out scholar finally spoke out to persuade him.

The master's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he began to struggle in his heart, weighing the suggestions made by the down-and-out scholar.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the head of the family vaguely heard the sound of war drums, his face changed slightly, and his body quickly ran towards the outside.

"The head of the family is not good, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty have come to kill them!"

As soon as the head of the family walked out of the door, he saw a confidant stumbling over, his face full of panic.

When the head of the family heard the words, his expression turned pale immediately.

Don't look at Heifengling's dominance among the nearby people, but if he really faces the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, there will be absolutely no way out.

"How many people came?"

"Two, two hundred cavalry!"

The confidant was panting heavily, with unconcealable fear in his eyes.

Hearing the words, the head of the family was a little dazed, and then laughed angrily: "A mere 200 people dare to come to my Heifengling, don't these officers and soldiers want to live?"

It is the Song State that the leader is afraid of, not just two hundred soldiers, even if the opponent is two hundred cavalry, the leader is not afraid.

"Master, those soldiers are all extremely fierce, and there is no body left of the brothers who went up to provoke, and the general of the Song Army even issued an ultimatum, telling me to bind my hands and surrender, or I will not be left behind!"

The face of the head of the family changed again.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The drums were rumbling, and Huan Chang stood proudly in front of the battle, wearing a white battle armor and holding a spear, with an expressionless face.

Behind him, two hundred cavalrymen were restrained, but their fierce eyes were enough to reveal their extraordinaryness.

Opposite Huan Chang, hundreds of bandits held weapons and looked at the corpses in the middle, their faces pale.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

At this moment, there were several sounds of piercing through the air. It was the Heifengling master flying over, and there were two warriors beside him, all emitting strong fluctuations of true energy.

"Dare to ask the general, why did you offend me at Heifengling for no reason?"

After the head stood still, he immediately began to look at Huan Chang and the others. Although he felt that the aura of these people was integrated, he did not feel a strong fluctuation of true energy.

Coupled with the fact that the leading coach is too young, the panic in the head's heart subsided a little.

"This is the territory of the Song Dynasty. If you burn, kill and loot here, you deserve death."

"In order to fight against the rebellious general, I am specially following the order of the emperor to wipe out you and other young people. If you are willing to bind your hands and surrender, you still have a chance to survive."

"If you resist stubbornly, chickens and dogs will not stay!"

Huan Chang changed his usual elegant demeanor, and yelled loudly, which made the face of the head of the family change slightly.

"Wow!"

The white cloth was thrown high into the air, swaying from side to side under the blowing of the cold wind, the speed of descent was not fast, and an ultimatum followed.

"Before the cloth falls to the ground, those who do not surrender die!"

The extremely overbearing ultimatum sounded, and the two hundred cavalry remained expressionless, but the faces of the bandits changed drastically.
