Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 193 Yangmou (second update)

Even though Hu Dawei sent a letter saying that Ning Wu was seducing the hammer bandits, Shi Ji felt that this was just a statement to calm people's hearts.

Or he was trying to get rid of the possibility of his ineffective rescue!
Even if Shi Ji doesn't like Ning Wu's supercilious temperament, he has to admit that his soldiers are relatively elite.

"My lord, the brothers are all ready. As soon as the hammer bandits withdraw their troops, the brothers will rush forward and chop off a few more heads for wine money."

Shi Ji expressed his approval and understanding of the optimism of his subordinates.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty watched the thieves rush to Jiexiu County.

In Jiexiu County, Hu Dawei also got the news that the hammer bandits were dispatched, and came straight to Jiexiu County.

He loudly encouraged the soldiers around him, he was able to kill the Hammer Bandits and fled in a utter defeat yesterday, the leader of the Hammer Bandits, He Jinzhao, must behead a few more Hammer Bandits today to receive the reward.

The officers and soldiers stationed in Jiexiu County all screamed excitedly.

Hu Dawei nodded, his morale was available.

The Second Generation Sweeping King and Man Tianxing stopped three miles away from Jiexiu County.

According to the instructions, send people to advance a distance of one mile, and put out all the horses to prevent the defenders in the city from attacking suddenly.

In particular, there were many seriously injured captives of the officers and soldiers placed in front of Juma.

Hu Dawei watched this scene, nodded secretly, but became cautious.

"My lord, the hammer bandits actually want to besiege the city. They have dug a trench behind Juma." Zhang Yingchang said in disbelief:
"These gangsters dare to besiege Jiexiu, who is guarded by the officers and soldiers. Damn it, do these hammer gangsters still want to attack Taiyuan?"

Hearing this, Hu Dawei sighed: "There is a possibility."

Chief Qian Zhang Yingchang froze in place, his ambition was not small.

"My lord, since these thieves are so arrogant." Gou Fuwei drew out his knife, "I'll kill them all."

"Not urgent."

Hu Dawei shook his head, waiting for the Jurchens to retreat, the imperial court would send reinforcements.

He was very clear about the plan of the Mongols or the Jurchens. They would come to rob in autumn, when the grains of the Han people in the Great Wall were cooked, harvested, and dried.

Going back when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming is the same routine.

Let them run rampant for a while first, just entangle them outside Jiexiu city, so as not to harm other places, especially Taiyuan.

If King Jin and the governor were startled, I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain.

Zhang Yichuan, the second generation sweeping king, watched his subordinates dig holes at the city gates on all sides, and sent people to keep an eye on Jiexiu County, patrolling left and right to avoid being attacked.

Losing face with the chief coach, he is different from that trash of the previous sweeping king.

After the Juma was set up, the Sweeping King sent people to shout around outside the city.

"Listen, dog officials in the city, our chief coach, He Jinzhao, is kind to us.

A dog officer redeemed 100 taels of silver, a total of 87 people.

I'll give you a discount and give you 1 taels of silver, otherwise I'll kill them all!
There were also prisoners who were seriously injured and recuperating in the rear, and none were left behind. "

Hear shouts from outside the city.

Hu Dawei's frown became more and more severe, Yang Mou, proper Yang Mou.

"My lord, I'll go and shoot those thieves who disturbed the morale of the army one by one."

Gou Fuwei begged for his life, he is quite skilled in archery.

"inappropriate."

Hu Dawei sighed and said: "If we don't pay to redeem people, what will the brothers in the city think of you, look at me, who will use their lives in the future?"

Zhang Yingchang nodded quickly: "Your Excellency is right, even if there is a war, the injured brothers must be redeemed first, so as to reassure the army."

"How about sending someone to exchange prisoners of war with them?" Gou Fuwei asked.

When they did not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they often did this with the officers and soldiers of Datong.

Not only did the Mongols enter the Great Wall to plunder people for iron pots, but the Datong government army also went out to plunder the Mongols' tents, cattle and sheep, etc.

Everyone robbed each other, half a catty equals eight taels.

So sometimes prisoners of war are exchanged.

But the thieves outside the city only want money, not people.

This is just the first batch of prisoners of war, there will be more in the future!
Hearing this answer, Hu Dawei was angry and annoyed.

A thief can be unprincipled, but he can't do that in the army.

Hu Dawei looked at the magistrate of Jiexiu County, and the magistrate immediately cooperated and said:

"Leave this matter to me, and I will discuss it with the rich merchants in the city.

1 taels of silver is indeed a lot, but it is still possible for everyone to grit their teeth and scrape together. "

"Then I will thank the brothers outside the city first."

"No, this is my job."

The magistrate of Jiexiu County went down naturally, he didn't want to fall into the hands of thieves.

Life-saving is still the most important thing.

"Hmph, such a cunning thief, if I catch him, I will definitely torture him."

Hu Dawei only wants to redeem people and stabilize people's hearts.

But He Jinzhao's strategy is not just to let the officers and soldiers redeem people and hurt their morale.

Instead, tell them that He Jinzhao, who you preached about beheading, is fake.

The alert officers and soldiers in Jiexiu City have already reacted.

He Jinzhao got off his horse, ordered the soldiers to rest well, and looked at the soldiers of the Ming army on Guanziling.

These Ming troops were stationed on the mountains, and they didn't look very dense, but there were many flags.

"Light the lamp, is this Guanziling connected to the wall of Putong Pass?"

"Returning to the head coach, Putong is at the foot of Guanziling, and he doesn't want to join."

He Jinzhao smiled: "Is there a source of water on the mountain?"

"There are many places in Shanxi with mountains and water." Zhao Si, the lamp lighter, thought for a while and said, "There should be no water source on Guanziling."

"Since that's the case, isn't Ma Di guarding the street pavilion?" He Jinzhao immediately ordered loudly:
"Pass my order, the army besieged Guanziling, and we diverted to Putong Pass."

"Chief coach, but this Guanziling is five miles long, and we have to encircle it. I'm afraid it will take a lot of money."

"I know, just wait for the officers and soldiers on Guanziling to break through."

He Jinzhao pointed to three directions. At night, he had to focus on guarding, digging holes, making some ropes and hanging bells.

Zhao Si bowed his hands in admiration. In terms of military strategy, he knew that he couldn't keep up with the chief coach even if he flattered him.

Following He Jinzhao's order, troops were not sent to guard the key cliffs and other places, and the entire Guanziling was surrounded by He Jinzhao.

The servants used nearly ten thousand people in their hands to light the lamps.

The officers and soldiers on Guanziling looked at this scene and became a little impatient.

Their retreat back to Putong Pass has been cut off by the bandit army.

The soldiers on Guanziling had only a few water bottles, and the food was brought up from Putongguan.

This group of people guarding Putong Pass can be said to be very rich, and they are all hereditary, so they eat well on weekdays.

The Historical Records of the Qianzong of the Ming Army did not specifically order people to cook, especially after yesterday's big victory, they had another good meal.

The group of people in Putong Pass also know that as long as they stay here.

Their wealth can still be maintained, but once they are taken over by thieves, their rich life will stop, so they are quite attentive to the officers and soldiers on Guanziling.

Now that Guanziling is surrounded by thieves, it's not just Shiji who is dumbfounded.

Even the more than 200 people who closed the door were stupid.

　Thanks to the fainting Bird of Paradise for the sponsorship and arrangement of 500 taels of silver.
