The river beaches on both sides of the Yellow River are not so flat, and this is inevitable from the perspective of water flowing to the lower part. If it is a completely flat land, the river water will only spread around aimlessly.

Riding on a high slope, Liu Chong was thinking a lot in his heart. If it were normal, Liu Chong might not have liked thinking so much. However, now, he just couldn't help but think about it before and after to disperse the pain in his body.

After returning from Li Jie's magistrate, the director held a meeting and issued a new order, "The time is tight now, and the task is heavy. You two go to the trade point to interrogate the prisoners first. After the interrogation, Section Chief Song took the prisoners back to Jinan. Section Chief Liu went to Dongying to stare."

After hearing this, Liu Chong felt very unhappy. He immediately said, "Director, we only care about the information. If you ask me to go, the local area did not cooperate at all."

"We have no cooperation, but we have to send people to watch. If something happens, we have to tell us about our difficulties. There is no staff, no funds, and lack of communication. In the current situation, it will be strange if nothing happens. When something happens, we cannot say that we have not sent anyone."

Liu Chong admitted that the director was right. Since there must be a problem, if someone says that he has not appeared at all when something goes wrong, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. In order to fight against such a broken matter, although this kind of participation is a waste, it is also a means of self-protection. However, Liu Chong didn't like it at all. He couldn't help thinking that if he could become the magistrate of Dongying, he would definitely not make such a bad choice. At least he could handle such a big matter well.

While he was thinking about it, he saw a signal in the distance. Liu Chong cheered up and began to pay attention to his actions to come to the trading point of Huimin Town, interrogate and collect information about the bandits. The first step to obtaining the information was to catch the prisoners first.

At this moment, dust was raised in the distance, which was the dust raised when the horses ran wildly. The more horses, the more dust they were raised. When thousands of Mongolian heavy cavalry charged against the Song Dynasty formation, Liu Chong saw the smoke and dust covering the sky.

Not long after, the person who was riding a horse in front was clearly seen. They were bandits in variegated costumes riding Mongolian horses. Following behind the bandits were all the Song Dynasty cavalry in indigo uniforms. Seeing the enemy coming, the commander on the high slope ordered the flags to wave, and the cavalry at the foot of the mountain left the formation and formed three sides of the encirclement.

The bandits were about to fall into a trap, and a few people wanted to resist stubbornly. The Song cavalry who came from behind were shot down from close range with short muskets. Other guys who continued to escape were caught up from behind by the Song cavalry.

Losing the knights, the Mongolian horses continued to gallop. The cavalry surrounded by three sides of the Song Dynasty rode up, and the secondary part of their mission was to intercept the enemy, and the main part was to intercept the war horses of the fallen horses. Compared with the bandits, the Song army believed that horses had higher value.

Liu Chong had seen similar battles in Dongying, and it was not easy to control long-range weapons on bumpy horses. The Song army's muskets were better manipulated than bows or crossbows. At a distance of five or six meters, the Song army, who was highly focused, could even avoid the enemy's bows and arrows shooting. The bandits had no chance to avoid gunfire.

So the Song army quickly set up such "hunting grounds" set up in various places, and knocked off the bandits in batches. Perhaps the bandits thought that Huimin Town was a large piece of fat meat, and they could survive the disaster without worrying about food and drink by robbing one hand. In the eyes of the Song army, who protected Huimin Town, the bandits were also fat sheep that brought meat to their door.

After watching the battle, Liu Chong suddenly suspected that he might have been thinking too much. The opposite side was the bandits, not the Mongolian regular army. Even the Mongolian regular army would be defeated in the Song Dynasty. As for the combat effectiveness of the bandits, the situation in front of him could be seen clearly. Just thinking about it, he heard the Propaganda Section Chief Song exclaimed: "It's really straightforward."

Hearing Section Chief Song's praise, Liu Chong did not feel resentful in his heart, but recalled the answer from Section Chief Song after the Director arranged the work before, "Director, if this is the case, why don't we tell the General Administration about this matter now?" Section Chief Song asked.

Liu Chong was thinking about how to get Section Chief Song to go to Dongying at that time. After hearing this, he immediately lost his heart. If Liu Chong was the director, he would not dare to let Section Chief Song go to Dongying just by saying this. Such subordinates really can't help but feel relieved.

Telling the General Administration the current difficulties must be after sending people to effectively carry out the mission in Dongying. This is like the army. Before the troops are sent to the front line, they will ask for various materials and various conditions. Such a commander will not be dismissed immediately, which will make the superiors completely despaired at such a guy. The meaning of existence of officials at all levels is to encounter problems, work hard to solve problems, and in the end, how capable they are to do as much as they can.

Section Chief Song finished admiring and said uneasy: "Secretary Liu, I said before that there were eight battalions of cavalry along the Yellow River to fight. Do you think there were enough people?"

Liu Chong wanted to ask back, "Do you think it's enough?", but he held it back. The Song army was used to large corps combat, and small troops had never been mainstream. This was what Liu Chong listened to the teacher in the management class. After listening to it, Liu Chong felt that this was really right. The Zhao Guan family organized tens of thousands of troops to conduct a large battle, which was extremely clever. The Song army tried its best to fight a big battle and a decisive battle.

It was really a punch to avoid a hundred punches. Knowing that the Zhao Guan family could fight big battles and dared to fight big battles, the Mongolians did not dare to start a war. The harassment war that had been worried about in the army that had lasted for a year or even several years did not appear.

So Liu Chong laughed and said, "It's only two thousand miles long that the Yellow River is like this, and there are as many as ten thousand people in eight battalions. On average, there are five cavalrymen on one mile. Do you think you can know the news?"

When he said this, what came to Liu Chong's mind was the newly determined "metric unit" by the Zhao Guanjia. According to the metric unit, one kilometer is equal to two miles, which is five hundred meters. There are five cavalrymen in one mile, and one cavalry guards a distance of one hundred meters. As for the unit used by Section Chief Song, Liu Chong does not want to go to popularize science. Section Chief Song used Song Li, which is about six hundred meters in one Song Li. A cavalry guards 120 meters, which is not a problem simply in terms of quantity.

Section Chief Song smiled and said, "The army is definitely not arranged like this."

"Yes. The army definitely did not arrange it like this. Let's ask how they arranged it." Liu Chong said politely that he actually didn't know much. This is also the truth. When Liu Chong was arranged this time, he didn't think so much. If possible, he actually wanted to take a good rest at home for a few days. The soreness all over his body felt so uncomfortable. Riding a horse at this time was a punishment for Liu Chong.

"So you don't know either." Section Chief Song sighed, and then continued to watch the Song army encircle and suppress the bandits. After a while, Section Chief Song sighed again: "I think the Director sent you to Dongying this time and value you very much."

"You can fight for this opportunity. I won't stop it. Now I'm so tired that it's best to stay in Jinan." Liu Chong replied angrily. Because it was the truth, he said it with confidence.

"... Then why don't you refuse?" Section Chief Song asked.

"If someone can volunteer, of course I won't go and compete with everyone. But if everyone doesn't go, why would I be so bold to tell the director that I won't go!" Liu Chong was still justified. And at this time he also understood something in his heart. If the attitudes of others were similar to those of Section Chief Song, it means that Liu Chong's idea that someone was going to compete with him was wrong. Maybe someone didn't want to see Liu Chong accumulate merit, but their approach was not to compete with Liu Chong, but to hope that Liu Chong would stop and not move forward like them. He would never do the matter of asking Liu Chong to surrender himself.

Just as Section Chief Song fell silent again, a cavalry rushed uphill in the "hunting ground" below. When he arrived in front of Liu Chong, the cavalry shouted: "Secretary Liu, the person has been arrested. Are you going to interrogate now or ask after medical treatment?"

"Now, ask first." Liu Chong replied. Then, regardless of the pain in his body, he gritted his teeth and urged his horse to go downhill.

After a while, Section Chief Song also urged the horse to go up.

After being shot, he felt the pain and the fear of blood coming out. The wounded felt that death was getting closer and closer to him. When Liu Chong and the others said that they could be treated after honestly, but they would die just by not honestly. Only a very small number of guys were still stubborn. Liu Chong did not have any extra favors for such guys, and directly cut his throat in public.

For these bandits, there is no big deal except death. When death stands in front of their noses, in order to survive, the intelligence tank will be explained like a bean.

No matter how much fear or even disgust there was in the eyes of Song Jun's eyes, Liu Chong didn't think there was anything wrong. What he originally wanted was the work of the traitor committee. The traitor committee members in flying fish uniforms never retreated at all when using violence. They did intelligence work, and Liu Chong was using the most effective means to obtain intelligence.

After asking about the information, Liu Chongrang took the group of people down for treatment. Then he asked for confessions recorded by the recorders, rode hard on his horse and returned to the slope. Before the next wave of bandits were driven over, he began to study the contents of the confessions.

"Do you need to do this?" Section Chief Song asked from the side.

"Do you think the life of a bandit is very precious? It is more valuable than the lives of our own people?" Liu Chong replied without raising his head.

"This method of killing is a bit ruthless." Section Chief Song changed his speech.

"Hmph." Liu Chong snorted. Of course he knew that this method was rather vicious, but after spending a long time to carefully interrogate the captives, Liu Chong finally confirmed that reliable confessions were actually direct answers in such almost unconscious states. As long as those people think about it, nine out of the ten sentences in the words said were lies.

"Take them back and ask slowly, and it can prove that we have prisoners..." Section Chief Song said, and halfway through his words, Liu Chong raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
