The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 88 The Gun Comes!

Erlong Mountain is about a hundred miles away from Taiyuan. Zhao Gou took Zhang Youcai's 50-[-] troops and arrived there in two days.

After arriving at Erlong Mountain, Zhao Gou felt that people should first find out the details of this group of bandits, so he sent people to the villages near Erlong Mountain to inquire about which family had suffered what kind of grievances and fell into the trap of the bandits. .

Zhao Gou felt that to solve the problem, we had to find the root cause. If some people were really unfairly treated and were forced to go to the mountains to weed, we could just solve the problem for them.

"It is a great virtue to subjugate the enemy's army without fighting!" said the forty or fifty soldiers Zhao Gou brought.

As a result, the people who were sent out spent a whole day and visited four or five nearby villages, but they couldn't find any clues.

"Return to the general, he is not a local at all!"

Zhao Gou was depressed: "Have these bandits ever plundered?"

"I actually went down the mountain to buy food."

"Buy?" Zhao Gou thought he heard wrongly. Bandits went down the mountain to buy food?

"I bought it, but... I didn't pay for it, it was on credit!"

Zhao Gou laughed angrily, these bandits have no professional ethics!
"Go up the mountain!"

Zhao Gou looked at the team that had rested all day, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to go up the mountain to make contributions. Yue Fei was dumbfounded. He knew that the prince was a general, and he basically came to practice in name, but experience was nothing but practice. Practice with your life.

"General, wait a minute!"

Seeing Yue Fei take two steps forward from the team, Zhao Gou took at least five steps back before stopping: "Stop! Just stand there and talk!"

Yue Fei was stunned and stood there without daring to move. He thought that since he came to Taiyuan City with King Kang, the first two days were fine, but after a few days, no matter where King Kang saw Yue Fei, he would immediately feel as if he had seen a ghost. Flash far away.

When Zhao Gou saw that Yue Fei no longer came forward, he murmured in his heart: "Although I don't know why the fourth sister wants me to stay away from Yue Fei, but since the fourth sister said so, she must have a reason!"

Yue Fei bowed: "Kang Wang, although this mountain is not steep, if you go up the mountain rashly, you will be in danger if you are ambushed."

Zhao Gou thought about it and made sense: "Then what do you think we should do? Let people go up the mountain to call for battle, and call them down to fight to the death?"

Yue Fei was speechless and could only reply: "How about... I take a few people to disguise themselves as woodcutter at the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain to explore?"

Zhao Zhizai thought for a moment: "Yes!"

So he sent people to the surrounding villages to borrow some clothes. Yue Fei ordered the two of them to change into their clothes and went up the mountain carrying a hatchet.

The mountain road was not difficult. Not long after, Yue Fei and others reached the mountainside. Looking up, they saw smoke rising from several places on the mountain. The soldiers accompanying them pointed to the place where the smoke rose and said, "That should be the bandit's lair."

Complete nonsense.

Yue Fei also looked up, but what he calculated was that there were seven or eight kitchen smoke, seven or eight pots and stoves, and one pot and stove to feed more than ten people. This group of bandits should number around a hundred people.

Fifty regular soldiers armed with long bows and powerful crossbows were able to deal with about a hundred bandits. This battle was not difficult.

Just touch it under cover of night and the battle will be over in a quarter of an hour.

What makes Yue Fei feel strange is that this group of bandits is undefended?
Stupid thief!
The group of people had almost explored the area and were about to go down the mountain to report back when they suddenly heard a woman's slight moans coming from the woods a few feet away.

Yue Fei and the other three were stunned and didn't want to answer, but after hesitating for a moment, they still approached.

What if some girl from the mountain was robbed here?

When a few people came outside the forest and looked in, they saw a woman in coarse linen clothes sitting under a tree, lowering her head and rubbing her ankles. Seeing someone appear, the woman was not surprised, she raised her head and waved. : "You are woodcutter at the foot of the mountain. I accidentally sprained my foot. Could you please help me go up the mountain?"

Seeing the hesitation of Yue Fei and the others, the woman said again: "After sending me up the mountain, I will be rewarded." Yue Fei pointed to the mountain and asked, "Is the girl also from the mountain?"

The woman nodded: "Sorry for bothering you!"

In order to avoid the woman becoming suspicious, Yue Fei had no choice but to whisper to the two people beside him: "You two go down the mountain first and tell the general that there are only a hundred or so thieves on the mountain. They can make a surprise attack at night."

After explaining, Yue Fei put away the hatchet in his hand, threw down some firewood he had just pretended to chop, and walked to the woman: "I can send the girl up the mountain alone."

When the woman saw Yue Fei approaching, she stood up holding on to the tree trunk and extended an arm generously: "Thank you, just help me up the mountain."

Only then did Yue Fei clearly see the woman in front of him. Although she was dressed in coarse linen clothes and looked like a mountain village woman, she had a delicate appearance, gentle and clear eyes, and had the gentle and fresh temperament of a Jiangnan woman. She looked nothing like this female bandit from the mountains.

"Isn't the girl from a village near Erlong Mountain?"

Yue Fei supported the woman and walked slowly, then asked.

The woman nodded slightly: "The Nu family is from Yixing, and their name is Li Wa."

Yue Fei was stunned and thought that Yixing was thousands of miles away from Taiyuan. How could a girl's family be thousands of miles away from home and end up in Erlong Mountain to defeat the bandits?

Seeing that Yue Fei was confused, Li Wa smiled and said, "It's a long story. What is your husband's name?"

"Oh, Yue Fei."

"Mr. Yue is not born like this woodcutter in the mountains." Li Wa jumped on one leg and smiled slyly at Yue Fei.

Yue Fei didn't expect this woman to be so perceptive. His identity must have been seen through. His heart sank. He held Li Wa's hand a little harder and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Li Wa's wrist was pinched so hard that she frowned slightly: "Does Mr. Yue think we are bandits?"

"Isn't it?" Yue Fei's hand muscles relaxed slightly.

Li Wa sighed and said, "You will know if Mr. Yue goes up and takes a look."

Yue Fei was suspicious for a moment: "You are walking too slowly, I offend you!"

After saying that, Yue Fei picked up Li Wa with his backhand. Li Wa was startled, but did not resist. She just let Yue Fei hold her in his arms. He curled his lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Yue is afraid of an ambush above and wants to take it." The slave family serves as a shield?"

Yue Fei did have this idea, but when Li Wa told him so, he blushed a little.

A big man is really embarrassed to use a woman as a shield.

After being exposed, Yue Fei could only choose not to speak, muttering in his heart: "This woman... is smart."

Not long after, after passing through a dense forest, the vision suddenly opened up. A simple stronghold was built on a flat place on the top of the mountain. This stronghold had no defensive capabilities, but the flag flying on the head of the stronghold was familiar to Yue Fei.

Da Song!

Yue Fei was stunned, looked down at Li Wa in his arms, and asked suspiciously: "Are you soldiers of the imperial court?"

Li Wa pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you think, Mr. Yue?"

Yue Fei looked up again and saw that although the flag was embroidered with the word "Great Song Dynasty", it had no gold line outline and no velvet bottom protection. It was obviously not a thing regulated by the military.

Just when Yue Fei was suspicious, he saw a man of similar age rushing out of the village. The man was tall and sturdy, with a strange face. He had a harmless scholar face. Yue Fei was holding his arms. Li Wa was immediately furious: "You thief, don't insult my sworn sister!"

Yue Fei was stunned. Before he could explain, he heard the man shout: "Here comes the gun!"
