The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 388
After Wang Gang dealt with Wang Ermazi, he recruited his subordinates, some of them were sent home to work in agriculture, and some of them were young and strong to form the militia, and they trained together with the yamen servants on weekdays.

The militia probably incorporated about 150 people, plus less than 200 government servants.

The bandits assembled in Jiujiang add up to nearly 3000 people.

Two hundred against three thousand, no one thinks that Wang Gang can win.

Rumors slowly circulated in the yamen that Wang Gang was about to abandon the county and flee, and people in Jiujiang County were panicked.

On the contrary, Wang Gang, with a laid-back attitude, does not do business all day long, running around, not knowing what he is busy with.

The rumors that came out of the yamen were naturally written by Du Yuanwai.

Although he lost Niu Wenjin and Du Ming, there were still some people in the yamen, and it was only a trivial matter to spread rumors about him.

Du Yuanwai has already made up his mind to cooperate with the bandits to loot Jiujiang, and Hu Dahai has already negotiated terms with the bandits, and he can cooperate with the outside when the time comes.

Three thousand bandits temporarily gathered at Niuwei Mountain, fifty miles east of Jiujiang.

"This Sheng Changfeng doesn't seem to be afraid of bandits attacking the city?" Hu Dahai also heard Wang Gang's bold words.

Du Yuanwai snorted coldly: "A scholar, who wiped out a few bandits, thinks that he is unparalleled in war. I have seen many such people."

Hu Dahai said worriedly: "After Sheng Changfeng came to Jiujiang, what he did was step by step. He controlled the county government bit by bit, and wiped out Wang Ermazi. It should not be underestimated."

Member Du said coldly: "Don't grow up with other people's aspirations, and destroy your own prestige. It's not like you don't know how many people there are in the Jiujiang county government. With just that few people, Sheng Changfeng can still go to heaven!"

Just when Du Yuanwai was discussing with Hu Dahai how to lure the bandits into the city, his servants came to report that the county magistrate came to visit.

Du Yuanwai subconsciously thought that Wang Gang already knew about his plan and that he was here to arrest him.

"How many people are here?" Hu Dahai was about to summon the servants of the Du family to resist.

"Only the magistrate and the magistrate." The servant said.

Du Yuanwai and Hu Dahai choked at the same time, a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in their throats.

"Are you sure he came alone?" Hu Dahai asked.

The servant is a little strange, a person is a person, can this be counted wrong.

Du Yuanwai and Hu Dahai looked at each other, and first asked the servants to lead Wang Gang into the living room.

"Master Yuezhang, Sheng Changfeng ran over at this time, did he find something?"

"Probably not, otherwise he wouldn't have come alone." Du Yuanwai said with a gloomy face, "I'll go see him first. You are arranging some people to hide outside the living room. If there is any movement, you can bring someone in to rescue me."

Member Du arranged everything before going to the living room to meet Wang Gang.

"Master Sheng, Mr. Du didn't know you were here, so I'm sorry to welcome you!" Officer Du made a smirk when he saw Wang Gang.

"Mr. Du, don't blame me for interrupting." Wang Gang laughed.

"I don't know why my lord is here." Du Yuanwai was not in the mood to talk to Wang Gang, and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Du should have heard about it! All the bandits around Jiujiang County gathered on Niuwei Mountain. I plan to strike first and take the initiative."

Member Du opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that Wang Gang would say such a thing.

Do you have no idea how many people you have under your command?

200 people against 3000 people, you still want to take the initiative to attack, this is to give away the head!Normal people can do this.

Du Yuanwai was stunned by Wang Gang's brain circuit.

"Master Sheng, are you kidding me! I heard that the bandits gathered 3000 people?" Du Yuanwai said tentatively.

Wang Gang said with a smile: "It is precisely because there are few people on our side that I came to ask Mr. Du to borrow someone."

"Looking for someone to borrow from me?" Du Yuanwai asked puzzled.

"I know that there are quite a few servants in Du Yuanwai's mansion, and there are even more tenants under him." Wang Gang pointed out.

"My servants and tenants have never fought a war, and some of them have never even held a knife." Du Yuanwai said.

"It's not necessary for them to actually go to the battlefield, they just act as heads to enhance our momentum." Wang Gang explained:
"You also know that those bandits are just a group of mobs who ran rampant in the countryside because of their numbers. As long as we have more people than them, we will scare them to death."

What Du Yuanwai was thinking at this moment was how he suffered heavy losses from this guy in front of him. Could it be that the deaths of Niu Wenjin and Du Ming and Hu Dahai's injury were really accidents.

Anyone who is sensible knows that fighting a war does not depend on the number of people alone. The 10,000+ people in Jiujiang County can drown Wang Ermazi with a mouthful of spit.

But why has Wang Ermazi been able to occupy Three Heads Mountain for so many years and enjoy himself for so many years.

Ordinary people are scared to death when they encounter bandits, even those with knives, how can they have fighting power.

"In addition to Member Du, I have already discussed with several wealthy households in Jiujiang County, and they are all willing to help the government get through this difficult time. Some will provide people, and the rich will provide money.

When these bandits are wiped out, I will also go to the Biaoguan's house to ask for credit for you. "Wang Gang continued.

"It is my duty to help the imperial court. How many people does Grand Master need?" What else could Du Yuanwai say, he could only agree.

"Du's family has eighty if not one hundred. You can give me 70. As for the number of tenants, give me as many as you want." Wang Gang said excitedly.

Du Yuanwai called the butler and asked him to call the young and middle-aged men in the mansion, and then let Wang Gang choose by himself.

Wang Gang picked out seventy strong ones and prepared to take them away.

"Mr. Sheng stay here." Member Du stopped Wang Gang and asked, "I don't know when my lord is going to go out to suppress the bandits. Du is not talented, so prepare some dry food for the soldiers."

Wang Gang didn't even think about it: "Four days later, I will send troops to Niuwei Mountain."

Du Yuanwai bid farewell to Wang Gang contentedly, and found Hu Dahai when he turned around.

"Sheng Changfeng is going to take the initiative to attack. Please tell those people the news. Once Sheng Changfeng leaves, Jiujiang County will be an empty city." Member Du said with a smile.

Hu Dahai worried: "Could this be Sheng Changfeng's plan to deliberately come here to lie to us?"

Member Du sneered and said, "Whether it's true or not, Sheng Changfeng will take people out of the city in three days. This can't be faked. As soon as he leaves, you will notify the bandits to enter the city and take Jiujiang County."

Hu Dahai was still a little worried, and always felt that things were a little weird, but Du Yuanwai didn't want to care about it.

Three days later, on a sunny day, Wang Gang took all the people in the yamen, as well as the temporarily recruited team, a total of 500 people, and left Jiujiang in a mighty way.

Du Yuanwai and Hu Dahai also went out of the city to see off Wang Gang's team, and then returned to the city excitedly.

Hu Dahai and Du Yuanwai split into two groups, Hu Dahai went to contact the bandits, while Du Yuanwai went back to Du's mansion, summoned the remaining servants, and went to the backyard of the yamen together.

Du Yuanwai wants to catch Wang Gang's wife Hai Chaoyun, as long as the hostage is in hand, he will not be afraid of Wang Gang's return.

The three thousand bandits had originally been hiding near Jiujiang County, and they waited for Hu Dahai to come to report the news, and then rushed into Jiujiang County like crazy.

The county town was unguarded, the city gate was wide open, and three thousand bandits rushed into the city directly. Just as they were about to burn, kill and loot, the city gate behind them was suddenly closed, and a group of people ran out from nowhere.

These people were all dressed in Song-style armor, armed with the most elite weapons, and killed bandits when they saw them.

Then groups of soldiers rushed out from the alley and killed the bandits by surprise.

The sound of fighting soon resounded in Jiujiang City.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Hu Dahai wanted to notify Du Yuanwai, but before he could take two steps, a cold arrow shot out from nowhere and directly passed through his chest.

On the other side, member Du rushed into the yamen with someone outside, but he didn't find anyone, so he rushed directly into the backyard, trying to find the female relatives.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed into the backyard, he saw Wang Gang sitting in the yard with a big horse and a sword, and there were more than 100 people waiting for him behind him.

"Du Yuanwai, you brought these servants to our county government office, you are not here to sue!" Wang Gang said to Du Yuanwai with a wicked smile.

Du Yuanwai had realized at this time that he might have been fooled by Wang Gang.

"Didn't you take people to suppress the bandits?"

Wang Gang said with a smile: "The bandits are all delivered to the door by themselves, why should I make a trip?"

Du Yuanwai's mind was shocked, and at this time, the sound of killing was heard in the city.

"Mr. Du, I also want to thank you. You saved me a lot of time by gathering those bandits together." Wang Gang raised his sword and started fighting, saying:
"Are you going to catch him without a fight, or am I going to hack you?"

Member Du's expression changed a few times, and finally he gritted his teeth and said to his subordinate Ding, "Kill me."

The servant, you look at me, I look at you, and you don't really want to do anything.

Firstly, it was because Wang Gang was an official, and it was a serious crime to kill an official ordered by the court.

Secondly, there are obviously more people on Wang Gang's side, and the servants are not stupid.

Fortunately, Wang Gang didn't give them too much time to think about it. When Member Du went out, Wang Gang had already made a move. A big knife was as light as nothing, and he directly slashed at Member Du's head.

Du Yuanwai seemed to have also practiced martial arts, but he was far from being able to compare with Wang Gang. After one move, his body was ruined.
