5.31 Seeking Jia Yucun and destroying Jinyi Army

More than half a month later, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, Wei Xu was idling in his study at home. Anyway, the general military training can be left to his subordinates, so there is no need to watch him all day long.

"Master, the situation is wrong!" But things were never that simple, because Saeko Busujima entered the study with a serious face, glanced at Xue Baochai, who was hiding behind the screen with flushed cheeks, and continued to report, "The Zhen family should have received other support. .

In the second half of last year, we almost wiped out the Yan Ding and masters of the Zhen family, but last night, one of our transport teams was ambushed, and less than ten of the more than 50 people escaped, and the disciples leading the team were seriously injured.

According to our people's report, although the men and horses who ambush this time are also dressed as Yan Ding from the Zhen family, their strength is obviously not comparable, and they used a strong crossbow from the beginning, and their cooperation is also very good. "

"It seems to be the capital's manpower. Since there is a strong crossbow, it must be from the military background. I remember that the Zhen family was arranged by the Supreme Emperor, and it seems to be the Longshou Palace." Wei Xu immediately realized the problem.

"I think so too, but in this way, our original plan can only be postponed. Unless we can completely solve this group of people, it will be difficult to continue." Saeko Busujima said with a frown.

"Brother Xu, do we really want to deal with the manpower in the capital?" Xue Baochai, who had been hiding behind the screen, immediately came out after hearing Saeko Busujima's analysis. She was still in awe of the imperial power and the court.

"Xiaozi, no matter how many people come from the capital, they must have a place to settle. This can only be arranged by the Zhen family. Now we have mastered the gathering place of the former Zhen family's Yanding, right?
You don't need to search any more, just find their foothold directly, I personally lead the troops to level them up, you just need to pay attention to avoiding them for a while. " Wei Xu hugged Xue Baochai smoothly, and didn't shy away from her in the arrangement.

"Brother Xu!" Xue Baochai's expression became anxious.

"Sister Bao, in fact, you don't have to worry so much." Saeko Busushima smiled and nodded Xue Baochai's forehead, very optimistic about this sister who just started at the end of the year, after all, her performance in business is really amazing.

"However, they belong to the capital and even the royal family." Xue Baochai was very worried, "If we do something, the royal family will be furious, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"Silly sister, when did we attack the royal family?" Saeko Busujima, a pure modern person, was in awe of the so-called "imperial power". "We just dealt with a group of wandering thugs."

"Hmm, some villagers reported that a group of extremely vicious bandits appeared in the mountainous area around Jinling. They committed all kinds of crimes, ran amok in the village, and even plundered and murdered. The people suffered terribly for this.

However, these people were so cruel that they couldn't even take down the government, so they had to ask for help from the Jinling Guard. Under the command of Master Niu, all Jiangdongmen Thousand Households were dispatched to deal with these bandits cleanly.

The prefect of Jinling was impressed by the military's achievements in defending one side, and personally led the local gentry, bringing cattle and wine to the military camp to comfort the soldiers, what a scene of deep love between the army and the people! Wei Xu fully demonstrated what it means to "talk nonsense with eyes open".

Anyway, the current prefect of Jinling has been replaced by the white-eyed wolf Jia Yucun in the original book, but this time he got the favor of Wang Ziteng, and the Wang family almost made a move to get him this position.

However, in a broad sense, the Wang family is actually just one of the main forces of the Xungui Group, and Jia Yucun, which was supported by the Wang family, also belongs to the Xungui Group. If he can do this, he must do it.

Because the current Jiangnan area is the private land of the Xungui lineage, if Jia Yucun dares not to do it, Wei Xu does not need to contact other people, and the resources he has now can make the magistrate "government orders not come out of the yamen's gate." ".

It's just that after it's done, will he betray Wei Xu?This is basically a question that does not need to be discussed. If there are no accidents, the current Jia Yucun may have joined the Yongzheng Emperor's faction.

It doesn't matter, even if he reports the matter, Wei Xu will not leave even a little evidence anyway, and the military will fully manipulate it to characterize this matter as an iron case of "suppressing bandits". Just a little bit more hate.

If he can solve Xungui's line in the future, then he doesn't care about this case; if he can't solve anything, then he doesn't care.

As for Niu Jixun's transfer order, it's not a problem at all, everyone's interests are completely consistent, the manpower sent by the Supreme Emperor is a bad thing, Wei Xu is willing to take the initiative to take the blame, he is too happy.

What?What if you are accused of guilt in the future?The Commander of the Guards said that I don't know. It was indeed the prefect of Jinling who asked for help in person, so I sent the troops out. Who knew that those were from the capital?

In fact, even if Emperor Yongzheng really knew about the problem of the death of the Supreme Emperor, whether he would strike out in anger or drink to celebrate, I am afraid only he himself would know.

"Alright, Sister Bao, do you have anything to worry about now?" After Wei Xu completely explained his plan and analysis, Busujima Saeko smiled and gave Xue Baochai a hook on the nose and said. "But, but" such a thing that destroyed the three views made poor Xue Baochai, a model member of feudal ethics, completely dumbfounded, "That is after all."

"No, I didn't know there were spies in the royal family, let alone that they would show up in the south of the Yangtze River. I was just suppressing bandits, and I fulfilled my duty as a soldier!" Wei Xu continued to play dumb.

Xue Baochai didn't know what to do. She was full of feudal ethics, so she could only look at Saeko Busujima subconsciously, hoping for some help.

"Okay Sister Bao, you must have been busy with business issues these days, just take a good rest." Saeko Busujima smiled wickedly, gave Wei Xu a wink, and carried her back to the big bed together.

Both of them are concubines, and they have been dragged away by someone who doesn't know what shame is. I don't know how many times, and Xue Baochai, who is unwilling, is the one who is bullied miserably every time. Just play proficiently.

"No, don't." This was Xue Baochai's last pitiful voice.

Half a month later, near a valley manor more than [-] miles south of Jinling City, Wei Xu personally took Du Dao Saeko to investigate the enemy's situation, and used binoculars to look at the very secret camp in the valley. solve.

"Master, this is here." Saeko introduced softly, "Our people have specifically asked the nearby villagers, and even disguised themselves as shopkeepers to inquire nearby. There are about 300 to [-] people here, from the Jinyi Army."

"The official Zhao Quan of the Jinyi Army belongs to Emperor Yongzheng, why would he send someone to Jinling to help the Zhen family?" Wei Xu couldn't react for a while.

"I didn't find out either. Presumably the people here are just following orders, and they can't tell the specific situation. Anyway, it needs to be solved here. If the cause is serious, we will find a solution later." Saeko Busujima suggested softly.

"Then do it, and we'll talk after the fight!" Wei Xu is not a person who likes to pursue details, and he is not interested in figuring out all the problems.

"There is no other exit from this valley. Two strong crossbow households have already lurked from the main roads on both sides of the gate of the villa, and fired rockets after receiving the order; two infantry households are responsible for blocking the exit to prevent people from escaping.

In the end, a hundred cavalrymen were left on standby, in case the other party had any powerful means to rush out and cause trouble. "Bujima Saeko immediately explained the specific battle arrangement.

"Fortunately, during the training these days, we completely let go of the food, so that the night blindness of most people will not be affected too much, otherwise it would be too difficult to do it during the day." Wei Xu nodded and approved the plan.

"This is one of the reasons why I asked them to prepare the rocket. Having lighting can also make it easier for everyone." Saeko Busujima said with a smile.

"Om—" A row of rockets pierced the tranquility of the night sky with streamers of light, and raging flames quickly ignited in the valley, which was already in the dry winter period, and screams, hoots and sounds became one.

Although the soldiers of the Thousand Households Battalion had never seen blood, they couldn't allow them to think too much at this time. When they found that the elite Jinyi soldiers were trapped, they immediately gathered nearby and charged the heavy infantry defense line near the camp gate with all their strength.

The crossbowmen who had completed the task of arson immediately changed to regular crossbow arrows, and soon left a tragic death and injury at the gate of the camp. The ground that was meant to be yellow was even dyed red.

"We are from Fusi, North Town of the Jinyi Army, and you are under that general, who committed the crime of attacking and killing the Jinyi Army as an accomplice in rebellion!" Finally, someone in the camp yelled out, which temporarily stopped the howling rain of crossbow arrows.

"Don't worry about them, there are only bandits inside!" Wei Xu's ice-cold voice resounded through the audience, making everyone understand the problem.

When the east gradually turned white, the whole manor finally became completely quiet, but a lot of green smoke that had not dissipated and corpses all over the ground told the tragic killing last night.

"My lord, we checked carefully, and no one was left alive. This time, because of the proper raid, no one was killed in battle, but more than 30 brothers were injured." A disciple who was in charge of a hundred households stepped forward to report.

"Okay, after cleaning up, lead the team back and tell everyone that this time the participants will be paid an extra month's salary, and the wounded will be paid another month." Wei Xu is also very satisfied with the results of this battle.

Soon, the entire manor was filled with cheers, and no one cared about the brocade army anymore.
