"But I don't know where Commander Fang and your people are going. You just said that you want to settle accounts with us, but I don't know where you offended Commander Fang? Shouldn't Prince Liang's palace be in Hangzhou? Why did Commander Fang show up in our Ruzhou?
?" Ma Tiande asked with suspicious eyes.
"How dare you pretend to be confused? Don't you know what happened?" Lin Jue said angrily.
"Commander Fang, what happened?" Ma Tiande said patiently.
"Tch, you are pretending, very good, pretending very well. Then let me ask you, where are you going?" Lin Jue sneered.
"We..." Ma Tiande rolled his eyes to avoid telling the truth. He didn't want to reveal the true purpose of his trip. "We are conducting a patrol and search for military affairs."
Lin Jue said angrily: "Inspection and search for military affairs? Aren't we rounding up the gang of daring bandits in Funiu Mountain? Bastard, bastard. Sure enough, I am right to settle the score with you. Don't you know what happened in Qingtai Town so far?
Something?"
Ma Tiande was stunned, a little surprised. He didn't know what happened in Qingtai Town, but last night his men surrounded and killed more than 20 bandits and captured several alive. Will these guys die?
Open your mouth and explain, Ma Tiande asked in person, and after fighting all night, he got a guy to speak not long ago. He also learned that a group of bandits in the Funiu Mountains dispersed to Qingtai Town to hijack a batch of supplies. It's a pity.
The guy knew very little and couldn't tell what kind of supplies he was hijacking. He only said that bandits with 300 people came out to rob on a large scale.
Ma Tiande immediately reported it to his superiors and county magistrate, and the magistrate of Ye County immediately ordered the patrol battalion to be dispatched to intercept the bandits returning to the mountain for robbery. The commander of the patrol battalion, Song Qian, arranged various checkpoints and search teams to control various trails and mountains for more than ten miles.
, and sent the news to the garrisons in Wuyang County, Fangcheng County and other places to blockade the areas south and east of Niutoushan. Ma Tiande was ordered to lead 500 troops and horses to block the south along the official road. But in fact, Ma Tiande has not yet
I don’t know what happened in Qingtai Town.
"What happened in Qingtai Town?" Ma Tiande frowned.
"So you really don't know? You don't know anything about the attack by bandits in Qingshi Town? Haha, you are really capable. Within your jurisdiction, there is a small town more than a hundred miles away from Niutoushan.
In town, we were just resting for the night when we were attacked by bandits. What do you do for food? The bandits are so arrogant, what are you local garrison doing?" Lin Jue shouted angrily.
Ma Tiande finally understood what happened. It turned out that the bandits were dispatched to attack the royal guards in Qingshi Town. He didn’t know how the bandits got the news. In short, the people arrested last night turned out to be from Funiu Mountain.
They came specifically to attack this group of royal soldiers.
"Commander Fang, the bandits attacked you, are there any losses?" Ma Tiande asked hurriedly.
"Of course there were losses, but the bandits couldn't do anything to us. They were beaten back by us. No, we couldn't swallow this breath, so we chased them all the way north to let them know the price of daring to attack us.
In addition, we came here specifically to settle accounts with you. In your jurisdiction, even the guards of Prince Liang's Mansion were attacked by bandits, which shows that you are all just doing nothing. Not only did we die this time, but we were also robbed of things.
.I think that the bandits are obviously well prepared. They may think that we are escorting the prince to Beijing, and their target may be Prince Chitose. If we don't ask for an explanation for this matter, next time we really escort the prince to Beijing, we will dare to pass by you.
What? I even wonder if you guys have colluded with the bandits? How come you didn't even notice that such a large number of bandits were dispatched? Huh? Tell me clearly, otherwise it will not be over. I will go back and report this matter to the prince, prince.
I will report it to the imperial court and make you lose your head one by one."
Lin Jue was jumping up and down, extremely arrogant. Everyone behind him in Luoyan Valley couldn't stand it anymore. This Military Advisor Fang was really a showman. If he hadn't known in advance that what he said were all fabricated lies, they would have been unable to discern what he was saying.
True or false.
Ma Tiande was shocked. How come in just a few words, a heinous crime of colluding with bandits was placed on his head. This is no joke, this crime is punishable by death. Moreover,
Not only himself, but Ruzhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou and other state military and government officials responsible for guarding the surroundings of Funiu Mountain will all be destroyed. This guy is the commander of the royal guards. If he really said something nonsense in front of Prince Liang, if Prince Liang really believed it
Well, that was really a catastrophic disaster.
"Commander Fang, calm down your anger. We cannot bear this crime. To be honest, we have just received news that bandits are going to Qingtai Town to harass. I am leading my brothers to Qingshi Town. Last night our
Several bandits were captured and tortured before they confessed the news that the bandits were going to cause trouble in Qingtai Town. Moreover, we did not know the news that Commander Fang’s troops passed through Qingtai Town. If I had known you would arrive in Qingtai Town,
Tai Town, we will definitely send troops and horses to escort you. Commander Fang, please don't talk nonsense, the charge of colluding with bandits cannot be randomly pinned on us, it will kill people." Ma Tiande had to tell the truth and
He was humbled in a low voice.
Lin Jue glared at Ma Tiande, waved his hand and said: "That's all, that's all I said. I don't think you dare to collude with bandits to do evil. Maybe you just neglected your duty."
"Yes, yes, Commander Fang is a sensible person. As soon as we got the news, we immediately blocked all directions and dispatched to Qingtai Town. The speed of dispatching troops was already fast enough. Look at my brothers, crawling in the snow.
It’s been two hours, and everyone is exhausted.”
Lin Jueshai said: "Your brothers have worked hard, aren't my brothers human beings? We have been chasing you all the way from Qingtai Town. Don't say anything anymore. I will write down your accounts for the time being. I will argue with you later. Now.
Tell your people to get out of the way, we must move on."
Ma Tiande breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to order his soldiers and horses to get out of the way, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. So he turned around and held his hands in his hands, smiling: "Commander Fang, I dare to ask, where are Commander Fang and his brothers going?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "There are no flies in this world of ice and snow. What are you doing when your ears are not swatting flies? Didn't you hear what I just said? Are you fucking deaf?"
Ma Tiande was so angry that he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Commander Fang, please don't be angry. By the way, Commander Fang said he wanted to lead his brothers to chase the bandits, right?"
Lin Jue Leng snorted: "Finally you heard this sentence. Exactly, we are going to teach these daring gangs a lesson for daring to break ground on Tai Sui Ye. We didn't figure out the situation last night and thought they were outnumbered.
We were several times larger, so we didn’t dare to fight with them. But later I found out that they only had a few hundred people, so why are we so scared? This bad breath must get out."
Ma Tiande frowned and said, "But Commander Fang, I came all the way with my soldiers and horses, but there was no trace of the bandits. Commander Fang still wants to chase north, does he know where the bandits are going?"
"I know nothing!" Lin Jue cursed loudly: "I should ask you about the whereabouts of the bandits. I only know that Funiu Mountain is their home base. I don't care where they escape, or whether they take this official road.
, or walk on the mountain trails. But they always have to return to their nest in the mountains. We hurried on and were waiting for them at the mountain pass south of Funiu Mountain. Unless they did not return to Funiu Mountain, they would fall into my hands.
.”
Only then did Ma Tiande understand that it turned out that the commander of this party was planning to rush to the mountain pass and wait for the rabbit. This was a good idea. However, this guy obviously took it for granted. There was more than one way into Funiu Mountain. What use could these hundreds of them do?
? Besides, approaching Funiu Mountain to ambush, isn’t that just like a sheep entering the wolf’s mouth, never coming back?
Ma Tiande planned to persuade Lin Jue to do so, telling him that it was too risky.
"Commander Fang, please listen to the next sentence and stop pursuing me. Although your idea is good, it may not work. Bandits gather in Funiu Mountain and the situation is extremely complicated. Commander Fang and the brothers must not take risks. Other counties have already
We have received the news and are casting a dragnet. If there are any traces of bandits, they will be reported immediately. At that time, I will inform Commander Fang in time and we will go to encircle and suppress them together."
Lin Jue stared at Ma Tiande coldly and suddenly waved to him.
"General Ma, come closer," Lin Jue said.
"What?" Ma Tiande said puzzled.
"I have something to tell you." Lin Jue said.
Ma Tiande walked forward slowly and took a few steps in front of Lin Jue. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Lin Jue suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it. Ma Tiande couldn't avoid it. He only felt a burning pain on the left side of his face, a buzzing in his ears, and eyes.
There were stars in it. Lin Jue received a big slap in the face.
"What are you doing?" Ma Tiande reacted quickly, jumped back, held the handle of the knife with one hand and covered his face with the other and said angrily.
"What's going on? Are you going to fight me? You're the one who's beating me, you're a blind thing. I finally understand why the bandits are so arrogant. Just a few hundred bandits scared you into this. A bunch of ragtag bandits.
What's so scary about bandits? If you people had a little bit of courage, you should have gone to the mountains and wiped them out earlier. What's the use of the imperial court raising trash like you? Today I'll teach you what bravery is. Not yet.
Get out of the way and don't stop us from wiping out these bandits. I'll give you an eye. If you stop us with your sweet words, I will really think that you are colluding with the bandits. Get out of here!" Lin Jue pointed.
Ma Tiande cursed loudly with his nose broken.
Ma Tiande's nose was almost crooked with anger. He tried to persuade him with good intentions, but he was insulted repeatedly and even beaten. Ma Tiande was naturally not a vegetarian on weekdays. Bullying was also his strong point, but now he was hindered by the other party's
Despite his status, he didn't dare to take action. He just thought: "Fuck you, if it weren't for your status, I couldn't afford to offend you, I would have made all of you die here today. Forget it, since you are seeking death yourself, then
You just go and die. It doesn't matter if you are all slaughtered by the bandits, it will relieve the hatred in my heart."
"Make way for the warriors from Prince Liang's Mansion and let them set an example for us. Look at how they wiped out the bandits, and we will follow their example." Ma Tiande sneered and stepped back, gritting his teeth and giving the order.
