Chapter 89: Killing thieves in the market like butchering dogs

☆Free novel reading [ ]

Xu Huai led Yin Peng, Zheng Tu, and Chen Gui and slowly retreated to the market. The more than twenty bandit cavalry stayed behind at a certain distance until they saw them enter the market, and then they withdrew in the direction of Yingzizui.

Yin Peng, Zheng Tu, and Chen Gui couldn't see anything strange, so they exclaimed: "Master Xu is really scared of these bandits. Twenty or thirty people don't dare to chase us!"

"If you three cowards hadn't dragged me down, I might have picked off two more heads of thieves in exchange for rewards." Xu Huai shouted dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's us three cowards who are dragging down your legs, Mr. Xu." Butcher Zheng said hurriedly.

At first, Butcher Zheng was repeatedly bullied by Xu Huai, but he felt resentful but had nothing to do with Xu Huai. Later, when he heard that Xu Huai was causing trouble in Yuehong Mansion and summoned the powerful Tang family in Tongbai Mountain, they were unable to do anything to Xu Huai.

The anger disappeared unexpectedly.

Yesterday, he accidentally fell into the long street. When the thieves from Laoyatan came and slashed at him with a knife, he thought he was going to die. When he saw Xu Huai descending like a god from heaven, killing the three thieves with invincible courage in front of his eyes and nose, he felt like

It's like a seed was planted.

Last night I saw Xu Huai and Yin Peng going to set up a checkpoint at the east end of the market. He offered food and wine to please him. It could be said that he wanted to hug him during the war.

But in the afternoon, he learned that more than a hundred bandit cavalry had detoured from Tiaohutan to Yingzizui and stopped. No one in the military village or in the market dared to follow Xu Huai. Yin Peng went to Yingzizui to scout the enemy, but he seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.

He didn't even have a horse, but he and Chen Gui led Xu Huai and Yin Peng to lead the horse. They slipped around in front of so many thieves for several times before walking back.

It was only when I returned to the market that I thought I was scared, but I felt unbelievable. What kind of medicine could I have taken?

At present, there are almost two thousand people stranded in the market. Zheng Butcher, Chen Gui, Xu Huai, and Yin Peng are leading their horses back, followed by twenty or thirty thieves. They all see it.

At this time, enjoying the admiring gazes of many people, Butcher Zheng and Chen Gui could not help but feel a little carried away. When they walked to the butcher shop, they saw his mother-in-law sticking her head out from behind the butcher case and shouting loudly: "Hun, what are you doing?"

For Mr. Xu and Mr. Yin, have the food and wine been warmed up? Bring them out quickly. Are you a woman who can’t wait to steal a man behind my back? Are you sure that I won’t come back alive?”

Xu Huai jumped off his horse and asked Yin Peng to tie the horse to the doorpost. He walked into the shop and sat at the table, waiting for Butcher Zheng to heat up the food and wine.

"When we go to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, we must first meet Deng Langjun. How about I go to the military camp first and come over for a drink later?" Yin Peng had learned boxing and kicking from Xu Wuliang for several years and had also heard Xu Wuliang say this.

According to the rules in the army, you would not be so dizzy that you didn't go to see Deng Gui and drink at Zheng Butcher's place.

"Do you have any military pay? Or do you have a thief's head in your hand and are rushing to get the reward?" Xu Huai stared at Yin Peng and asked, dragged him into the butcher shop and sat down, and said, "We have nothing, wait until we drink

It’s not too late to meet Deng Gui again after drinking.”

From Tiighu Beach to Yingzizui are all shallow hills, the field of view is quite wide, and there is no enemy situation that requires close reconnaissance.

Xu Huai took Yin Peng and others on this trip. To put it bluntly, he wanted to bully Pan Chenghu's subordinate Xin Kouduo and have lingering fears about him. In this way, he used this method to alleviate the anxiety in the hearts of Huaiyuan soldiers and civilians who had actually been cut off from the outside world.

Fear inspired their will to resist.

Now we can no longer follow the established rules of the Inspection Department and the clan in the past ten years - it was already a pool of stagnant water. At this time, the dog-slaughterer in the market is even more exciting, and he needs to show more of the rules in the market.

The Qi and Hun come freely.

Not to mention anything else, when they walked into the butcher shop, a dozen of the bold and rogue people who usually got close to Zheng Butcher and Chen Gui in the market came running over; they were still a little afraid of Xu Huai, but they were in front of the door of the butcher shop or at the meat case.

Here, I was joking with Zheng Butcher and Chen Gui, and asked them how they felt when they ran in front of the bandits.

It was a rare occasion when Butcher Zheng had a long face, so of course he was scolding his mother-in-law for being too slow and neglecting Xu Huai, and at the same time he was boasting in front of more than a dozen daring scoundrels.

"The crescent moon has risen, and the moon will be very bright tonight. Let's have a drink and go out again. I hope we can hunt a head this time, which will be enough to eat and drink for several days!" Xu Huai said to Zheng Butcher.

More than a dozen gangsters shouted hello, and some people rushed back to get swords, spears and shields. Butcher Zheng also became very proud and invited everyone to come in and drink.

"Just eating and drinking doesn't taste good. Yin Peng, go to the military camp and call Tian Yanyan over and sing for everyone to cheer up!" Xu Huai saw that everyone's morale was good, so he wanted to ask Yin Peng to call over Tian Yanyan to sing for everyone to cheer up.

, I wanted to trick these people into dying, but I had to give them something to think about, and shouted, "If any of you can please Tian Yanyan, and ask her to sleep with you willingly, that's what you're capable of!"

"You big-headed ghost!" Wang Xuan scolded outside the crowd.

Xu Huai looked over and saw the dozen or so gangsters blocking the door hurriedly getting out of the way. He saw Deng Gui and Lu Xiong accompanying Wang Zhen and stepping into the threshold. Wang Xuan and Tian Yanyan followed behind, glaring at him angrily.

.

Although Wang Xuan is extremely beautiful, she has a brightness and innocence that cannot be blasphemed.

Tian Yanyan also followed Liu Qiong'er's example of performing arts without selling her body, but after all she was born in Yuehong Mansion. The gangsters became bold when they saw her, and their eyes wandered around her breasts, waist and long legs vaguely outlined by her skirt. Her skin was as delicate as snow.

With picturesque eyebrows, she was extremely attractive at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Tian Yanyan didn't dare to go against Xu Huai's will. When she heard that he wanted to send her to sleep with these rude men, she almost fainted from anger, but she didn't dare to attack. She had to bite the bullet and follow Wang Xuan in, thinking about the future

To fawn over Miss Xuan, only Miss Xuan can save her from the pit of fire.

Butcher Zheng, Chen Gui and Yin Peng all hurriedly stood up. Xu Huai lifted his feet and rubbed off his heavy riding boots. His bare feet, which smelled slightly of sweat, stood directly on the bench. He said to Deng Gui in a very unsightly manner: "Afternoon

I went all the way in vain and didn't pick off a thief's head, so Mr. Deng, you don't need to send me any reward."

"Xiangong Wang said that he wanted to come over and have a bowl of water and wine to drink. I believe Butcher Zheng will not be stingy. Why are you not happy?" Deng Gui said with a smile.

"It's not like you're eating my wine, how could I not be happy?" Xu Huai said.

"Mr. Deng is joking. Come here with Mr. Wang. The shop is all bright. Sit down quickly - I'll buy you the wine." Butcher Zheng's face was filled with laughter. His mother-in-law

He jumped out to say hello, feeling as if there was a spring breeze in his armpits, completely forgetting his current situation.

Faced with the bandits' forced crossing of Tiighutan and the east bank of Baijian River in the afternoon, Deng Gui initially wanted to withdraw all the remaining people from the market to the military camp.

Due to Wang Zhen's reminder and support, most of the people's supplies were intercepted when they fled the market. Even if the two or three thousand people left in the market were evacuated to the military camp, the food would be enough to last at least half a year.

And Deng Gui would not believe that the imperial court was still indifferent to the banditry in Tongbai Mountain after half a year.

Wang Zhen did not agree with this.

The purpose of the rebels crossing the river so quickly was to completely cut off Huaiyuan's connection with the outside world in advance. However, they were obviously too passive and conservative to abandon the Hedong market now.

If the rebel army is allowed to occupy the Hedong market without any effort, it will be easier to complete the close encirclement of the military stronghold.

However, Wang Zhen knew very well that the thieves from the three villages joined forces to massacre Zhongjiazhuang. The momentum was fierce, but in any case, they were just a mob and their ability to attack difficulties was definitely not strong.

Here, if possible, they still have to defend Ha Dong Market. They have no choice but to abandon Ha Dong Market.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it will force the rebels to form a siege of Huaiyuan, which requires several times the manpower and material resources. This will also limit the rebels' raids on the peripheral clans and Zhuwu forts, and advance the situation.

Entering the stalemate stage, reduce the damage caused by bandits to Tongbai Mountain before the imperial court dispatches troops and horses to suppress it.

Deng Gui did not doubt Wang Zhen's strategic vision, but he was worried that people would be too frightened to use it.

However, when he saw Xu Huai and Zheng Butcher and others sneaking around in front of the enemy cavalry and returning safely, and attracting more than a dozen rogues who were ready to move, all thinking of following Xu Huai to disturb the enemy at night, Deng Gui discovered that people's hearts actually

Not as precarious as he worried.

What we need to do now is how to make better use of Xu Huai, a reckless general, and restore people's hearts from fear step by step.

"You have the courage to conduct reconnaissance in front of the enemy, which is a great achievement. Although there are no heads of thieves this time, everyone should be rewarded with a piece of money!" Of course, Deng Gui knew that a big reward must be a brave man, and he immediately followed Jin.

Longquan, Tang Tiande came out with the reward money.

"I don't want this reward, it's embarrassing," Xu Huai said, "Deng Langjun, if you want to think highly of me, help me write a sign in front of this butcher's shop and write 'The place where Xu Huai, the clumsy tiger of Chushan, handed over the head of the thief'

! In the past, the villagers laughed at me for being clumsy and eating food and wine for nothing, but this time I piled the heads of thieves here, so that the villagers who looked down on me in the past were so ashamed when they passed by that they couldn't even lift their heads!"

"Okay, you exchange the thief's head for wine money, and I'll write this sign for you!" Deng Gui agreed immediately, and asked Zheng Butcher to write some pen and ink, and then he wrote "Chushan Clumsy Tiger Xu Huai" on a wooden door of the butcher shop.

"The place to hand over the thief's head" is the number ten.

Of course, Deng Gui's attainments in classics and meanings cannot be compared with Wang Zhen's, but he is also good at both civil and military affairs. He wrote the ten figures with great vigor, and the scoundrels on both sides and the onlookers all applauded.

Xu Huai did not want a reward, but Deng Gui asked Jin Longquan to give three guans of money to Yin Peng, Zheng Butcher and Chen Gui to reward them for following Xu Huai in detecting the enemy.

"Although Xu Huai is extremely brave, the thieves are also slipping away. It is not easy to hunt for his head." After Deng Gui sat down again, Wang Zhen said to many people, "A dozen of you are going to follow Xu Huai to meet the enemy."

, even if you can’t provide help, you can’t hinder it either. I have a way to teach you..."

In the early stage, the thieves were not willing to attack by force, especially since there were many new bandits under Pan Chenghu who crossed the river at the beginning. It would take time to unite with Laoyatan and other stubborn bandits east of Baijian. This meant that the current plan was to use a series of

A small victory is the best time to inspire the will of the military and civilians.

Xu Huai didn't want to be too showy outside of force, so Wang Zhen had to teach him some details.

As for what kind of person Wang Zhen was, and he was willing to give them some advice at this time, more than a dozen scoundrels immediately held their breath for fear of missing a word.

"You hold more spears and wooden signs, and gather together. Since you can prevent the thieves from attacking, you can also provide firm support to Xu Huai who is on the outside. He is three or four miles away from the market, and he is as solid as a rock..."

The scoundrels are all fond of playing with sticks and guns, but it is too much to expect them to have high tactical qualities and to be able to enter and leave the battlefield strictly in military formations.

However, asking them to hold spears and shields like turtles and hedgehogs to form a dense formation in an open space three or four miles away from Huaiyuan Town is not to expect them to kill the enemy, but to do so on a barren slope outside the market.

, can provide Xu Huai with sufficient support.

In this way, Xu Huaijin could kill the bandits, and when he was unable to fight or had to rest his strength, he could temporarily retreat into the formation.

And they were only three or four miles away from the market. There were soldiers to support them, and they were not afraid that Pan Chenghu and more than a hundred men would dare to besiege Xu Huai and the others outside the Huaiyuan market.

If this method is feasible, and the rewards will be distributed later, it will further improve the morale and fighting spirit of the people in Huaiyuan...
