When Liu Ningjing was being pierced by the pole and carried away, she suddenly said: "I told you the rest of the people are there, you let me go!" Yun Zheng came to Liu Ningjing and said: "I may accept what you said just now, but not now
Okay, I hate you bastards who encourage others to die and hide themselves to enjoy the benefits. You should go talk to Zhang Fangping, she will like to hear it very much."
Liu Ningjing wanted to open her mouth to yell, but the considerate Peng Jiu immediately blocked the mouth of this ghost woman with a rag. When he first met this woman, he had other ideas. Since then, he was almost crippled by the sword in this woman's skirt.
After that, he had no idea at all. Now in his eyes, this woman is a treasure that can help him get promoted.
Yun Zheng looked at Peng Jiu and Liang Ji carefully, and still planned to let Liang Ji send Liu Ningjing there. The only reason was that Liang Ji was in a worse state, with no less than six wounds of various sizes on his body. Although each wound was not fatal, it was
It was very big. When he sent people off, Zhang Fangping could intuitively feel the difficulties of Jiazi Camp.
Seeing Liang Ji taking the two brothers away, Peng Jiu rubbed his hands and came to Yun Zheng and said: "General, how big a fortune do you think we can make this time? Can the younger one share twenty coins?"
Yun Zheng patted Peng Jiu on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I will give you thirty strings in a minute. I will definitely satisfy your own requirements."
Hearing this, Peng Jiu smiled happily, limping one leg and anxiously walking around the entrance of the cave. Seeing the fire slowly weakening, this guy lowered his head and prepared to rush into Luming Cave to take a look at himself.
money.
Yun Zheng grabbed this guy and cursed angrily: "You go in now to seek death. After the kerosene is burned, the cave will be full of poisonous gas. If you want to die, just die by yourself. Don't drag your brothers with you."
The impatient Peng Jiu had to stay by the cave, waiting for the thick smoke inside to dissipate...
Zhang Fangping saw that the fire on Zhaogong Mountain was slowly extinguishing. He smiled and said to Zhong E, "Yun Zheng has done his best, but Huang Zhou hasn't even come close to the mountain gate yet."
As the magistrate of Yanzhou, he had seen many scenes of the Zhonge War. He glanced at the raging battlefield in front and said: "One is for surprise attacks, and the other is for attacking fortresses. The two cannot go together. In the past, when Li Shuxue went to Caizhou at night
Being able to capture the city without a single blow was an unexpected advantage.
The strategy of surprise attack cannot be used lightly. Once used, it must achieve miraculous results. Once the surprise attack fails, it is likely to end in a total loss. Although attacking fortress may seem stupid, it is a commonly used method on the battlefield today.
It is said that there are no more famous generals after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The biggest reason is that the way of war has changed a lot. Nowadays, the factors of logistics and national strength can determine the outcome of a war. When Taizu defeated Shu, he used
The method is to advance layer by layer, which may not look good from the history books, but this will be the main method of war in the future."
Just as the two were exchanging their views on the battlefield, a soldier came over and reported that Zhao Gongshan was sending prisoners and heads, and asked the defense commander to come over and check.
Zhang Fangping smiled and said to Zhong E: "Zizheng, you and I might as well go together to see if this slippery boy has really succeeded in the battle."
Zhong E understood that this was Zhang Fangping showing off his military exploits to him. Now that he wanted something from Zhang Fangping, he naturally wanted to give him face, so he immediately stood up and left happily.
Liang Ji was in a miserable state. There were several bloody holes on his chest that were stabbed by iron thorns. His shoulders and stomach were covered with large and small wounds, all of which were injured by the blades on the ghost woman's shoes. They had already been injured.
The bandages were ready, but I heard the general said that the more miserable he is now, the better. The worse he is, the more benefits his brothers will get, so he gritted his teeth and took off all the bandages and bandaged them casually. The wound on his shoulder opened.
Like a baby's mouth...
Zhang Fangping looked Liang Ji up and down, then looked at the wounded soldiers behind him, and nodded approvingly. Although these people were injured, they were in good spirits and did not scream randomly. He asked in a deep voice: "How is the battle situation? The wounded soldiers are injured."
How much damage will it cost?”
Liang Ji knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Let the defense envoy know that our army won a great victory. We killed the three brothers of the Zhao family and captured Liu Ningjing, the Maitreya cult witch alive. Our general is waiting for the fire in Luming Cave to be extinguished. Once the fire is extinguished, we will be able to
After further inventorying the results of the battle, the general, fearing that the defense would worry the enemy, ordered the injured soldiers in humble positions to deliver the heads of the prisoners and the three Zhao brothers first. Our troops lost 10% in battle."
Zhang Fangping ordered the victims of the three Zhao brothers from Chengdu Prefecture to come and identify them. After confirming that they were correct, he ordered people to pickle the heads with lime and prepare to show them to the public when they returned to Chengdu Prefecture.
"Is this Liu Ningjing?" Zhang Fangping asked in surprise. He didn't expect that the famous Liu Ningjing was actually a young woman with flowers. Now her legs are as smooth as jade and her arms are full of crossbow arrows. She looks like I feel pity for her, no matter what
There is no way to connect her with the legendary evil thief.
Liang Ji smiled bitterly and said: "This woman is indeed Liu Ningjing. Most of the scars on my humble body are due to this woman!"
Hearing what Liang Ji said, Zhang Fangping took a few steps back and looked at Liu Ningjing again. He saw that her whole body was wrapped in a torn sack, and she had no less than ten arrows stuck in her body. However, her expression was numb, as if those arrows were not stuck in her body.
She is average physically.
"Are you Liu Ningjing?" Zhang Fangping asked.
Liang Ji tore off the rag from the woman's mouth and pulled out an arrow. As blood spurted out, Liu Ningjing grunted and looked at Zhang Fangping and said bitterly: "Maitreya is the Bodhisattva of Purdue!"
"
Zhang Fangping turned back to Zhong'e and said: "The Maitreya Sect in Xiangzhou is in rebellion, but the bandit leader is captured in Chengdu. As long as the punishment department has verified it, we can escort the capital and behead him at Caishikou as a warning to those who come after him!"
Zhong E was carefully examining the heads of the three Zhao brothers. There was nothing surprising about the eldest and third brothers. However, Zhao Lao Er's head seemed to have been torn off. He was very curious, but did not ask. Seeing Zhang Fangping and
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang will definitely receive a commendation from the imperial court this time. I am so envious of him."
Zhang Fangping laughed and said: "I am upright in my work, which will inevitably make the princes in the court unhappy. With such a generous gift, I hope the court can pay more attention to Chengdu Mansion.
Now we just need to wait for Huang Zhou to capture Wo Niushan, and the matter is settled. Someone will come, pick the heads of the three Zhao brothers on a high pole, and order the Wo Niushan bandits to surrender, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
After Zhang Fangping looked at the heads and prisoners, he turned around and left, not wanting to take another look at the scarred Liang Ji.
Liang Ji gritted his teeth and took out the linen strips that had been boiled in boiling water from his arms. With the help of other brothers, he applied the golden sore medicine and tied the wound with the linen strips. Under the leadership of the monkey, he came to a small tent to rest.
There is nothing to complain about. I am just a thief in the army. It is rare for me to be seen by a superior. Wanting to get special care is just a dream. Fortunately, my general is not like this. He has long known that this will happen.
He specially prepared meatloaf and a little strong soju for each brother.
Jiazi Camp is Jiazi Camp, and the defense envoys are defense envoys. Liang Ji and his brothers made the distinction very clearly. They took down the wounded soldiers, prisoners and heads themselves, so that they could stabilize the defense envoys and stop him from worrying about Zhao Gongshan.
The situation of the war made it easy for the Lord and the brothers to take away the silver and copper coins. It was already expected that they would receive a cold reception here.
The seriously injured brothers were lying on the wet ground. It was already rare to have a roof above them to protect them from the rain. They were all in good condition, and no one screamed. The pain was too much, so he took a sip from his own gourd.
Drinking strong wine, thinking happily about the rest of the brothers, it's time to move money.
"We all have to hold on and don't die. Our good days have just begun. The general is taking his brothers to collect money at this time. The old and young of the family are waiting at the mountain pass. As long as the silver is transported to the mountain pass, they will take the money.
Carry it back, we are rich, now listen to me, take out the meat pie and start eating. After eating, you will have the strength to die. As long as you survive, the master will not treat us badly. Build a house and marry a wife.
Giving birth to a baby is a small matter."
Liang Ji took out the already cold meat pie from his arms, picked out a strip of bacon, put it in front of his eyes to admire, and ate it in one bite with a smile. He couldn't get enough of it.
The wounded soldier was encouraged by Lao Liang, and he took out the meat pie from his arms with difficulty and slowly bit it. The monkey brought in a large pot of white rice porridge from outside. Although there were not many rice grains, it was still hot soup...
…
"Quick, must be quick. I estimate that Zhang Fangping will send troops here soon to count the loot, so we can't slow down!" Yun Zheng kept urging his men to carry gold and silver. In fact, the only things that could be taken away were sand gold and scattered gold.
The silver, official silver, and the jewelry related to the murder cannot be touched. As for the copper coins, he can take away the thirteen hundred coins openly, but there are a lot of copper coins in the cave, and Yun Zheng plans to take half of them first.
No one cried out that they were tired. Han Niu had already called over the family members who were hiding at the mountain pass. Some saw that their men or sons had been killed in the battle. The women only cried twice before being yelled at by the old men from Jiazi Camp.
: "Why are you crying? Is this the time to cry? Your man has died fighting for the big guys. Isn't it just to make you live a better life? Carrying money is serious now. If you are discovered by the corrupt officials above, your man will
That’s why you died in vain!”
The woman held back her tears and was about to go down the mountain with a basket of money on her back. Yun Zheng stopped the woman and said, "Go ahead and carry as much as you can. It belongs to your family and you don't have to hand it over." After that, he raised his voice again.
He said to everyone: "Listen, as long as someone in your family died in the war, go and carry the copper coins. How many coins you can carry is up to you. They all belong to your family. The reward will be calculated separately after you return!"
The woman stopped crying immediately. In his opinion, the commander-in-chief was the leader of Jiaziying, and what he said would naturally count. The sergeant next to him stuffed three strings of money into the woman's bamboo basket, and no more.
, any more and people will be exhausted.
Watching the Jiaziying family members carrying money on their backs descending the mountain from another path, Peng Jiu and Han Niu escorted the team one after another and disappeared behind the green mountain forest.
The cry of partridges was heard in the distance. Yun Zheng looked at the Zijin Spring that had been dug up again, and poured all the remaining kerosene into it, so the cave started burning again...
Zhang Fangping and Zhong E came over in person, and at the same time came the Chengdu Prefecture’s execution officials, government officials and police officers. Seeing that the Luming Cave was still burning, but the fire was already very small, Zhang Fangping smiled and said to Zhong E: "I've calculated that fifty ounces of kerosene will be burned by this time. If you come here now, you won't have to worry about these soldiers stealing money and food. There will be rewards. There always needs to be rules."
Zhong E smiled and praised Mr. Zhang for his miraculous calculation, and then fixed his gaze on the black and gray Yun Zheng. He had never seen Yun Zheng, but no matter how he looked, or whoever looked at him, they would immediately tell that the figure had been solved. The young man wearing armor and a green ribbon on his head is the general of this army.
"You see? A scholar stands out among a group of soldiers. I think that the imperial court needs to send more scholars into the Xiang army in the future, so that these ignorant people can be slowly civilized."
Zhang Fangping's words made Zhong Eda dissatisfied. His ancestor was a great Confucian scholar, Zhong Fang, and it was only in his father's generation that he began to learn about military affairs. He knew how difficult it was, and he didn't just throw it away casually. I am afraid that most of those who can become qualified commanders by joining the army cannot even save their own lives by entering the military camp. (To be continued)
