Ming politicians

() The law of bandits' activities is similar to that of rogue bandits. Although they have a fixed fortress, they always shoot one shot at another place during their operations. Seeing that the opponent's strength is insufficient, they attack desperately and get Benefits and benefits, seeing that the opponent's strength is unusual, and I may not be able to bear it, so I ran away in all directions.

Suppressing bandits is a very complicated matter. When a large-scale army is dispatched, they disappear without a trace. ambush.

Su Tiancheng thought of these problems, but he still wanted to take risks.

In fact, a good solution is to ask the county government of Xinxiang County to be responsible for ensuring safety along the way. The disaster relief team avoids these bandits and rushes to Taiyuan as quickly as possible. Start disaster relief work.

This can ensure temporary safety, but future troubles still exist. If the arrogance of the bandits cannot be suppressed, in the future disaster relief work, small groups may be attacked and interfere with the disaster relief work. Mengjin encountered the disaster of the Yellow River breach. Bandits in the area, probably more.

Besides, the bandits gather in the mountains and forests, harming the common people. Since I am the patrol censor and came to Henan for disaster relief, I have the obligation to exterminate these bandits.

Since Du Laosan was mentioned in the information sent by Jin Yiwei, it means that Du Laosan is very famous in the area of ​​Weihui Mansion, and must have done a lot of bad things.

In the long run, getting rid of Du Laosan will help stabilize the situation in Henan.There are great benefits.

At noon, a large group of refugees came from the front.Look at that formation.There are estimated to be around 2000 people.

Su Tiancheng's expression changed. Didn't it mean that there were about 1000 people? Why did they suddenly increase? This would increase the trouble. You must know that the combat effectiveness of the sergeants in Xinxiang County is definitely not strong. If these 2000 people attack at the same time.If he couldn't hold on for long, Du Laosan quickly succeeded, and the bandits scattered and fled, that would be a big trouble.

These people soon joined the refugee team behind.

Su Tiancheng remained calm, he had to persevere and not show any anxious expression.

This may be Du Laosan temporarily changed his mind.I believe Deng Hui doesn't know, maybe Du Laosan has reservations about this matter.

Soon a sergeant came to report that Deng Hui was still the core figure among the two thousand refugees. They talked while walking, obviously discussing something.It may also be asking about something, after all, the more than [-] people who joined yesterday have all disappeared.

An hour later, Deng Hui finally saw Su Tiancheng.

"Deng Hui, come to see me. Aren't they suspicious?"

"My lord, I have already explained it. I said that the brothers yesterday were all sent out by me to make my lord not suspicious. As for my meeting with your lord, the excuse was to petition for the refugees. Everyone didn't eat. I beg you My lord, arrange it."

"Well, that's a good reason."

"Du Laosan suddenly changed his plan, and I don't know about it. In this way, there are more than 2000 people in ambush ahead, but the pressure here has increased. I am a little worried, so I came here to inform you."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"I have thought of a way. After an hour, I will bring all the little bosses to meet my lord. My lord can take advantage of the situation to deal with these little bosses. After this is done, the remaining bandits will be leaderless and at a loss. If they do some work and disintegrate their fighting spirit, they won't pose much of a threat."

Su Tiancheng was secretly happy, he never expected that this Deng Hui would have such a meticulous mind, capture the thief first and capture the king first, as long as those bosses are dealt with, the remaining minions will not pose too much of a threat.

"Okay, let's do as you said, Deng Hui, if you succeed in suppressing the bandits, you will have a lot of credit."

"These are all things I should do. I still have to remind my lord that Du Laosan must be ambushing ahead. There are more than 20 people around him. These 20 people are rogues from Shaanxi. They are the core. Strength, if Du Laosan and these 20 people are defeated, the bandits will collapse."

"Okay, when the bandit suppression begins, you will follow me and identify Du Laosan."

At the time of You, the disaster relief army stopped. This is an open area surrounded by several small hills, and the surrounding situation can be clearly seen.

There are no people around, and a lonely official road stretches forward in a winding and rugged way.

In such a place, the bandits could not be completely concealed, they could only charge. This would buy some time for the sergeants to prepare. The sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion are all cavalry, so they can also launch an assault here.

Deng Hui led fifty people to the outside of the temporary tent.

"My lord, Caomin and all the fellow villagers came here to thank you, your lord saved me from the fire and water, you are my great benefactor."

The people around Deng Hui looked very tough.

It's a pity they didn't have the slightest precaution.

"Come inside the tent."

Deng Hui entered the tent first, and his face was a little red. Although it was easy to move inside the tent, the tent was not big, and the risk factor increased greatly.

Deng Hui thought too much, Su Tiancheng was already prepared.

Inside the tent, there was no one and nothing.

The patrol censors of the imperial court naturally have a posture, and it is not so easy to see. Besides, it is normal that the camp has just started, and the tents have not had time to prepare. Therefore, the people who go in are not the slightest Suspect.

In less than a minute, Su Tiancheng's voice sounded again.

"Deng Hui, come out for a while."

Deng Hui left the tent, leaving the rest of the people waiting inside for the time being.

Those who entered the tent were already a little suspicious, why Deng Hui was the only one left, and besides, none of the more than 100 brothers yesterday saw any of them.

Unfortunately, they woke up too late.

Bows and arrows shot in from all around, densely packed.The people in the tent couldn't escape, accompanied by short screams and the sound of horses.

When Su Tiancheng entered the tent, he could no longer see a living person. Inside the tent were all headless corpses. The soldiers who came in earlier had already cut off the heads of these people.

Deng Hui, who was following him, shuddered. He didn't expect that Su Tiancheng, who seemed gentle and refined, would actually have such a skill, without being verbose at all, and killing him with pain.

"Deng Hui, you go and stabilize the bandits behind you, if there is no abnormal movement, you have to think about how to explain it."

Deng Hui left quickly. Even though he had seen many bloody scenes, he was not used to the strong smell of blood in the tent. What was strange to him was that Su Tiancheng acted nonchalantly, as if he hadn't seen the more than 50 headless animals. corpse.

Time passed slowly, and the refugee team, about a mile away from the disaster relief team, still seemed very quiet, without any changes, but there was a trace of restlessness amidst the silence.

It is impossible for the refugees to have tents. Fortunately, it is the midsummer season, and there are not so many particulars. As long as they can have food and not starve to death, that is the best result.

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, Deng Hui came over.

"My lord, I have done some work, and they have settled down. These people are no longer worrying. Without the leader's command, even if they start to act, they are still a mess."

"You did a good job. According to the schedule, Du Laosan should launch an attack."

Before Su Tiancheng could finish his sentence, shouts of "Oh Huo" and "Oh Huo" came from not far away.

"My lord, Du Laosan is here..."

"How did you know?"

"I'm very familiar with Du Laosan's voice, this is his order to attack."

The sound of horses started to appear, and it was a little quiet outside for a few seconds, and then there was a chaotic sound.

Su Tiancheng quickly walked out of the tent.

Quite a few sergeants just came out of the tent, looking a little dazed, and those who were ready were the sergeants of the Baixiao Cavalry Battalion who followed Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng got on his horse, and not far away, two groups of people rushed towards the disaster relief army, one in front and the other behind.

Sao movements also began to appear in the place where the refugees were camping not far away.

The quality of the sergeants in Xinxiang County really exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations. When they saw the bandits around them, their hands trembled in panic. .

"All sergeants get ready to face the bandits."

Su Tiancheng let out an angry roar, and temporarily stabilized everyone. Seeing that the bandits were about to come, there were more than 4000 people on the other side. If they could not resist effectively, all plans would be useless.

"Listen all of you, we are officers and soldiers, and the bandits are rushing across. What are you afraid of? Set up an army to meet the enemy immediately. If you escape and lose the relief money, don't think about surviving. Your family will be implicated. I'm afraid What, it's a death anyway, a bit of a soldier's air."

The sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion beside Su Tiancheng had already made preparations.

The sergeants in Xinxiang County were relieved a lot when they saw such a formation.

The bandits stopped less than ten meters away from the relief team.

A middle-aged man with a beard spoke loudly.

"Listen all of you. I'm Du Laosan. I know you're here to help the disaster. I don't have any other intentions. Keep the money. You should go far away. I only want money and I don't want to kill people."

Su Tiancheng rode to the front of the formation under the escort of the sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

"Du Laosan, you are so courageous, you dare to rob the court's disaster relief money, do you want to destroy the nine clans?"

"Fuck you, I don't care about the court, since you don't know how to flatter me, I will not be polite. Brothers, kill the official dog and steal the money, let's go find a woman..."

Strange voices appeared all around. In the bandit team, there were very few people on horseback. It seemed that there were only a few dozen people gathered around Du Laosan. Most of them were infantry. As Du Laosan said, all the bandits Excited, they rushed over with roars, holding steel knives in their hands, looking extremely excited.
