Daming wolf ride

After Peng Dachui agreed to serve in the army temporarily, Shi Dayong did not doubt him, and still let him lead his brothers. This arrangement made Peng Dachui and the thieves feel at ease.

Among the 39 thieves, several were injured, but all of them were flesh wounds. The heaviest one was Peng Sledgehammer, who had a lot of blunderbuss left in his left arm. If the ground freeze is not dealt with in time, he may lose his left arm, and if it gets serious, he may even die from it.

There was no doctor accompanying the army. Seeing that Peng Dachui was seriously injured, Shi Dayong ordered someone to go to the town to ask a doctor to heal his wounds, but Peng Dachui refused. He asked his nephew Si Hai to get a sharp blade and heat it up with a torch. Then he pointed to the wound and asked him to dig out the blunderbuss directly.

When digging out the blunderbuss, the blood still flowed non-stop, the sharp blade pierced into the flesh, and the blunderbuss were broken particles, which were widely distributed, and it was not easy to pick out one or two.The whole process lasted for half a stick of incense, and others were uncomfortable watching it, but Peng Dachui turned his face away like a normal person, neither yelling nor yelling.

This situation made Shi Dayong think of Guan Yunchang scraping the bone to heal the poison, and secretly praised the thief as a tough guy, and he deserved his earnestness to recruit him. [

After the blunderbuss were cleared, due to excessive blood loss, Peng Dachui's face was extremely pale, his body was very weak, and he was on the verge of falling.

After sprinkling the hemostatic golden medicine on the wound, Peng Sihai re-bandaged the wound for his uncle, then picked up the pottery bowl that was placed on the ground to catch the bleeding from Uncle Sheng's arm, took out the wine bag and poured some spirits into it.

Peng Dachui drank the strong wine mixed with his own blood, wiped his mouth, and signaled Si Hai to help him get on the horse.

Seeing that he was too weak, Shi Dayong feared that it would be difficult for him to sit on the horse, so he offered to find a carriage from the town for him to use for a few days.

But Peng Dachui said: "It's nothing for a man to suffer some injuries and bleed a little. He's not a young master who studies, so he doesn't have to be so coquettish."

Seeing that he insisted on riding a horse, Shi Dayong let him go.Pass down the order to gather up the thieves' army horses, pack up the weapons and supplies abandoned by the Beijing soldiers and bring them back together.

Peng Dachui's hometown is in Xiong County, Baoding Prefecture. Half of the people in the county are professional horsemen for the imperial court. It can be said that they have raised war horses for Daming for 200 years.Therefore, all thieves and thieves are experts in military horses.Among other things, the military horses they ride are comparable to the best Mongolian war horses.

This time they went south to Henan, with a total of 180 three horses. Except for eleven army horses who were accidentally shot to death in the battle with the Beijing camp and the wolf cavalry, and another four army horses escaped with the second leader Qi Lao Er, the remaining 160 horses All eight army horses were gathered together.

In addition, the soldiers who searched found 26 war horses from the Beijing camp in the woods and wheat fields. Shi Dayong wanted to return these "main horses" to the Beijing camp, but after looking into the town, he found that the Beijing camp soldiers Still hiding inside and not daring to come out, he immediately changed his mind and wanted to take away the more than 20 war horses from the Beijing camp along with the supplies abandoned by the Beijing camp.

How to deal with the eleven dead horses was a difficult problem. Cao Bianjiao suggested burying them directly. Shi Dayong originally wanted to do the same, but seeing those army horses fat and strong, he couldn't help changing his mind. He planned to take the horse meat back for consumption.

Horse meat is not delicious, it will foam when cooked, and it will give off a foul smell. Therefore, except for Sai, few people in the Central Plains like to eat horse meat, and they almost stay away from the smell of horse meat.

But it doesn't taste good doesn't mean it can't be eaten. Horse meat is meat after all, especially for the Jinzhou Army who have only relied on conscripting food and grass along the prefectures and counties since they went south. Obviously, these eleven dead horses can provide enough nutrition for the soldiers.

No matter how well the local government cooperates, they will never provide too much pork and mutton, and the Jinzhou army has traveled a long distance, and their physical strength is too great, so it is naturally good to have more meat to replenish their physical strength.

Holding the idea that having something is better than nothing, Shi Dayong asked Cao Bianjiao to lead someone to dissect the dead horse, throw away the internal organs, disassemble it into several large pieces, put it in a bag and hunchback.

If anyone in the world has the deepest affection for horses, I am afraid that apart from cavalry, they are horse breeders.When decomposing the horse meat, the wolf cavalry and the thieves all felt sad.

Especially when slaughtering a military horse that has not expired, it is almost afraid that some people will turn their faces away, unable to bear to look at the painful eyes of the military horse.

After dismembering the horse meat, Shi Dayong was ready to lead his troops back.In the town, the people from Jingying came—they came late because the overall situation had been settled.

[

"Thank you, General, for your rescue!"

Pei Shaokuan bit the bullet and thanked him, because he really didn't want to deal with this "God of Plague", but he came to the rescue overnight, and he, the rescued person, didn't come to express his gratitude, it must be unreasonable.He saluted Shi Dayong very politely, but he thought in his heart that even if you didn't come, I would still be able to guard these thieves and thieves.

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. Lord Pei doesn't need to thank me. However, Lord Pei's thousands of troops were surrounded by only a hundred horse thieves. The skills of Lord Pei and the soldiers of the Beijing camp really impressed me." Shi Dayong sneered and sneered, not showing any affection to Pei Shaokuan.

When Pei Shaokuan heard this, he was immediately ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.Standing there with a face of embarrassment, not knowing what to say.The two thousand households who came with him also looked embarrassed, looking left and right, very embarrassed.

In Xianghe City, Shi Dayong already knew the virtues of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, and he also knew that Pei Shaokuan was also a capable person, a person who would eat and wait to die, so what could he have to say with such a person.

Now it is not Pei Shaokuan and Jingying who regard Liao Jun and Shi Dayong as "plague gods", but Shi Dayong regards them as "plague gods", wishing to stay away from them.If it weren't for the marching army, I'm afraid he would have made a statement in front of the emperor, and drove the so-called Imperial Forest Army as far away as possible.It's really a bunch of guys who are not doing enough, but doing more than failing.

"The horse thief has already been punished, and I will go east to Dengzhou, so I won't delay here any longer. After dawn, Mr. Pei will clean up the mess himself."

Shi Dayong deliberately said the word "endgame" very strongly, and Pei Shaokuan blushed again when he heard it, and said cautiously: "Naturally, I know what to do."

"Well, since Mr. Pei knows what to do, I won't say anything more. Let's leave now!" Shi Dayong didn't bother to say "there will be a period later", and he got on the horse and got on the horse.

He didn't want Pei Shaokuan to see that Shi Dayong was about to leave, but he didn't go forward to stop him, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know how the general plans to report this bandit suppression achievement to the imperial court?"

"The merit of suppressing bandits?" Shi Dayong was stunned for a moment, looking at Pei Shaokuan inexplicably.

Pei Shaokuan was a bit embarrassed by him, but thinking of the credit, he still bit the bullet and said: "The general led his troops to wipe out the horse thieves who ravaged the place, and he should report to the court. so"

Pei Shaokuan really couldn't say what happened next, but Shi Dayong could hear it, Nai smiled wryly, he was really disappointed with Pei Shaokuan, unexpectedly this coward didn't forget to put gold on his face at this time.

How can Mr. Pei's soldiers be able to restrain the horse thieves? It is obviously the horse thieves who restrained him to death. Otherwise, why would he have dealt with all the thieves on his side? There is still no soldier in the Beijing camp who dares to fight. From out of town.

"Master Pei is justified, um, this feat of suppressing thieves should be attributed to Mr. Pei." Shi Dayong said calmly, wanting to see how thick-skinned Pei Shaokuan really is.

Pei Shaokuan wasn't that bad yet, hearing that all the credit should go to him, he quickly shook his head and said, "How can this be? The horse thief was clearly wiped out by the general's men, and the subordinate officials were only led to restrain them. How dare they take the credit from the general."

Shi Dayong smiled, put down the reins, and said: "This credit is not for Mr. Pei, this is also conditional."

"Conditions?" Pei Shaokuan was not surprised, but became happy. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are conditions, anything is easy to say.

Shi Dayong pointed at the war horses of the Beijing camp that were led together with the thieves and robbers: "Those horses will be taken away, Mr. Pei won't have any objections, will he?"

Pei Shaokuan followed his gestures and saw that there were indeed about twenty horses from his own army. He froze for a moment, and said very cheerfully: "It's easy to say, easy to say, I have no objection, absolutely no objection." Of course he has no objection Anyway, as long as he reports the credit for the thieves, he will give all the troops and horses to the Liao army, and the higher-ups will make up for him.

Pei Shaokuan was very knowledgeable, so that he would not have to go to court with the Beijing camp in the future, Shi Dayong was naturally happy to reciprocate, and immediately said with a smile: "Then the general congratulated Pei in advance for his meritorious service in suppressing the thieves!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Pei Shaokuan now felt that the "God of Plague" was not so hateful, and looked much more pleasing to the eye. [

To be polite, Li Guoheng, the chief executive behind him, saw a group of knights riding with the Liao soldiers, but his expression changed, and he quietly pulled him back.

"What are you doing?" Pei Shaokuan was having a happy conversation with Shi Dayong, when he was suddenly dragged by his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

In front of Shi Dayong, Li Guoheng couldn't speak bluntly, so he could only look at the knights and signaled Pei Shaokuan to look for himself.

Damn, what are you doing.

Pei Shaokuan glanced there angrily, wondering what exactly Li Guoheng wanted to see, but he was shocked immediately: Horse thief? !

Immediately, Peng Dachui and a group of thieves saw a group of guys from the Beijing camp staring at them. They looked surprised and couldn't help but look at each other angrily.

"General Shi, what about these horse thieves?" Pei Shaokuan was suspicious: Could it be that these horse thieves are colluding with the Liao army?

"These horse thieves have been persuaded by the general, and have now been recruited by the general. From now on, they will be under the general's tent. The general intends to give them a chance so that they can serve the court in the future and stop doing this thing of robbing houses." Shi Dayong explained in a neutral manner.

"It turns out that they have changed their minds and changed their minds and served for the imperial court. It's a good thing, a good thing!" Pei Shaokuan disagreed, and secretly scolded Shi Dayong for being dishonest, and actually recruited a group of horse thieves into the army. Zhao'an, who would really serve the court, and if there was trouble in the future, he might be implicated.But he didn't dare to express his worries, so he could only respond with a few words that didn't match his heart.The Liao army is strong, what can he do if he disagrees.

Shi Dayong didn't want to delay in Qiushui Town any longer, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with Pei Shaokuan, so he waved at Cao Bianjiao: "Xiao Cao, let's go!"

Pei Shaokuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty will send you off to the General! I wish the General a successful Eastern Expedition!"

Shi Dayong got on his horse and left a long time ago, without turning his head, he piled Pei Shaokuan there, furious.

The Jinzhou army passed by them one by one. Seeing those army horses, Pei Shaokuan didn't feel much pain, but when he saw that the Liao army also took away their weapons and equipment, he became anxious and lost more than 20 horses. Explain, but there is no one who wins a battle, but loses all the weapons.

But Shi Dayong has already run far away, even if he wants to pursue it, it is impossible for those high-ranking Liao soldiers to pay attention to him.If you really want to step forward to stop him and say to keep things, I'm afraid you're just asking for trouble.

Just watching the Liao army go away, Pei Shaokuan felt distressed, but in the end it was really cold, so he moved his toes back.On the way, he thought about how to report today's extermination of horse thieves more beautifully, and how to report to Eunuch Gao that the Liao army robbed his Beijing camp of weapons and equipment.
