A large number of thieves shuttled through the mountains and fields at extremely fast speeds. Although the formation was scattered, they were extremely orderly. Each of them had a serious expression on their face, and their bodies were different from other thieves.
, all wearing large amounts of armor. Such a band of thieves fell into disgrace here, while the previous bandits had already fled.
The thieves here before had the attitude of joining if they couldn't be defeated. They wanted to join, but they were sternly rejected. Even all their own food and weapons were looted, and even then they did not dare to resist.
Because those who dared to resist before - their blood hasn't even dried yet!
These bandits were naturally trained by Wang Chengen. Although they only trained for seven days, the bandits did not need to be trained like soldiers. The main thing they were told in those days was to be loyal to His Majesty and to be absolutely loyal! Zhu Ling
After all, we are modern people and we know how to control them. Although it only lasts seven days, it is obvious that the effect is very good.
The leader Hua Kui directly killed several bandits who disrespected Zhu Ling on the spot, and even set a rule for the bandits: Anyone who disrespects His Majesty will be killed! Anyone who is not loyal to His Majesty will be killed!
But in fact, these harsh methods alone cannot truly achieve the purpose of controlling people. Some rewards are also needed, some rewards that are tempting enough. Such as money, women and official positions. Or the most difficult thing for men to refuse is glory.
Wealthy and honorable, he returns home! That moment is the proudest moment for a man.
In order to get these thieves out of control, Wang Chengen controlled all their families. Although it was called control, he actually entertained them with good food and drink, and his treatment was not simple.
In this way, this group of bandits is quite capable of fighting. After all, they are working for the imperial court. In the past few days, the imperial court has eradicated many bandits in eastern Shandong. For example, today when they wanted to eradicate a group of local bandits, all the bandits were killed in the early morning.
The people were already on their way quickly.
"Boss, the front is the territory of the Huntian Demon!" The person who spoke was a guard in Jinyi, but now he was among the thieves as a bandit, which was another kind of control.
Looking at the figure looming not far away, Hua Kui also looked very cautious. He knew that this person named Hun Tianmo, although his strength was not worthy of his name, was still a difficult character. Just talking about their territory, that is
On top of a mountaintop that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, there is a very steep slope in front and a cliff behind.
Such a precipitous terrain gave Hua Kui a great headache, and he did not want to lose his brothers' lives in vain.
After thinking again and again, I still felt that I couldn't be reckless, so I turned around and said to the Jin Yiwei behind me: "Contact the local officials and ask them to send troops to cooperate. This Huntian Demon is not easy to fight. It is difficult to attack by force with our strength alone."
Hearing this, the Jin Yiwei said: "Is it still the same as last time?"
"certainly."
Hua Kui grasped the sword gifted by Wang Cheng'en at his waist and kept his eyes fixed on Hun Tianmo's territory.
"After all, this method is tried and true. We have eliminated many bandits with this method, and this method can also save us losses, so why not do it."
After hearing this, the Jin Yiwei immediately turned around and quickly went down the mountain to contact the local officials. They had always used this method before: first pretending to be against the local officials, then pretending to fail, then fleeing to the local bandit territory, and then directly attacking them while they were not paying attention.
Initiating chaos and killing the leader, the officers and soldiers hiding outside immediately rushed in.
This method has been tried and tested, has little loss, is fast, and is easy to succeed.
Today, I want to follow the same example as before and annihilate this bandit named Huntian Demon.
Arriving at the government office at the foot of the mountain, the Jin Yiwei walked straight into the county government lobby. The yamen officer wanted to stop him, but was frightened away by the Jin Yiwei token that was shown. Although today's Jin Yiwei is not as fearsome as before, it is still a deterrent.
All the way into the lobby, he saw the magistrate sitting in the hall. He immediately said: "Your Excellency, the magistrate, Jin Yiwei is polite here." After that, he slowly bent down and bowed.
The magistrate who was still wandering above suddenly heard the word "Jin Yiwei" and was frightened immediately. He quickly came back to his senses. He walked around the table and came to Jin Yiwei with a respectful expression. He smiled and said: "How dare you ask the superior to salute a villain?
, come on, sit down quickly."
Jin Yiwei was also used to this kind of treatment, and he immediately sat on the chair beside him without any courtesy. He said coldly: "I came here to ask the county magistrate to do us a favor. I wonder if the magistrate has time, or whether he is willing.
Willing to help me with this."
Hearing this, the county magistrate also said with a smile on his face: "Of course, sir, you are very polite. I wonder what kind of help you intend to ask me to do?"
"I am here to suppress the bandits on your Majesty's order. Now we encounter a bandit named Hun Tian Mo. His place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so I hope you will cooperate with us."
As Jin Yiwei spoke, the magistrate's eyes obviously changed a lot, but they immediately hid them again.
"You just need to send troops to pretend to fight us, and then we pretend to be defeated and beg them to take us in. They will take a fancy to our weapons and people, and want to annex us, so they will take us in. Then we will create a center inside and you will
Just wait outside, and if there are shouts of killing inside, rush in immediately."
After stopping talking, Jin Yiwei took a sip of tea, looked at the magistrate and said:
"You and I each get half the credit. You basically have nothing to lose, just running errands. But you have the credit, why not do it?"
Hearing this, the county magistrate immediately put on a look of great joy and said: "Of course that's good! Thank you, Lord, for treating us like this. You know that we have always hated this bandit. This time the imperial court sent troops to exterminate them.
, and also gave us credit for our contribution, so of course I would like to thank the superior!"
Seeing that the magistrate agreed, the Jin Yiwei didn't say much. He stood up and said: "In that case, I will go back first. I hope the magistrate will leave as soon as possible so that the bandits can be wiped out as soon as possible." After that, he turned and left.
The magistrate looked at Jin Yiwei's leaving figure and finally confirmed that he had left. He immediately called out the county magistrate inside and said to him: "Go and inform Hun Tianmo quickly and inform him of this matter. Remember to ask him not to get into Jin Yiwei's position.
Sure! If you take them in, you'd better set up an ambush in advance and kill them all!"
"I obey, little one!"
Thinking that the Jin Yiwei came to ask for help without asking about the relationship between Hun Tian Mo and them, wouldn't it be courting death? A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, they will definitely lose this time! It seems that this time the money that Hun Tian Mo turns in every month will have to be increased.
, I have done them such a big favor, and the increase from five hundred taels of silver to one thousand taels should not be too much.
The joy in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help but laugh a few times.
And here, the Jin Yiwei who returned to Huakui also reported to him about the magistrate, and everyone followed the previous arrangements. Sure enough, within an hour, the magistrate led his troops and marched towards them. They immediately pretended to fight with him,
Then he retreated while fighting, and cut his clothes several times to be realistic.
He took out the blood he had used earlier and smeared it on his face, pretending to be repelled.
In this way, they retreated all the way to the gate of Huntian Mo's territory. Huntian Mo above had already received the notice from the county magistrate, and had already ambushed men and horses around the camp, waiting for Hua Kui and the others. Especially when he saw them asking for help from him.
At that moment, I couldn't help laughing wildly. It seemed that these people didn't know that they had been betrayed!
Without saying a word, he immediately let them in. Then he personally went down and clasped his fists and said to Hua Kui: "Brother, come in quickly!"
Seeing that Huntian Mo and others accepted their entry, Hua Kui was overjoyed and knew that success was not far away. He quickly put on a smile and said, "Thank you brother for saving your life! I will repay you with a spring of water in the future!"
And Huntian Mo also pretended to say: "Brother, it's my own family that talks about the two families! From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers, I am the eldest brother, and you are the second brother! In the future, we will be kings and hegemons on this mountain together!"
"
But Hua Kui suddenly felt that something was not right. This Hun Tian Mo was too enthusiastic, wasn't he? When they came in, the leader first ridiculed them. How could he be so enthusiastic at the beginning and still call him brothers? For a sudden team
As for their peers, they should be very vigilant.
It’s so strange!
The Jin Yiwei on one side also noticed something was wrong. Except for the enthusiastic leader Hun Tianmo, the other bandits were looking at them with indifferent expressions, and there were even many people with fierce looks on their faces who were staring closely at them.
Is it just because you don’t welcome them?
He originally wanted to tell Hua Kui about this, but Hua Kui was pulled by the Hun Tian Demon and couldn't escape. He walked all the way to the high platform. Then he turned around and said to him: "I guess brother, you are new here and don't know much about this place. So,
Well, my brother will give you a gift. You will be very excited after reading it."
"I wonder what the gift from Brother Mo is to Brother?" Hua Kui also asked cautiously.
"Then let's see!"
Hun Tianmo directly clapped his hands, and immediately the bandits who were ambushing on both sides rushed out. First, a wave of arrows fell. The people standing in the middle were caught off guard and almost died immediately. The bandits also rushed out with knives.
Go up and kill all Huakui's remaining unresponsive men.
No matter how stupid Hua Kui saw this scene, he knew that they had been exposed. He immediately wanted to turn around and capture Huntian Mo, but he never expected to be immediately pushed to the ground by the thieves behind him.
