Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 126
There are more bandits in Wan'an County than in Yanping County, and they are more ferocious.

Perhaps it was because this place had gone through wars, and those people had seen blood, and regarded human life as nothing more than trivial matter.

Moreover, the bandits here are different from many places in Yanping County. There are thousands of people in several places.

Xia Chixiao is now in Jiachen Mansion, Wan'an County.

There is Wan'an Mountain here, which stretches for 45 miles. The mountains are high, the roads are steep, and the terrain is complex.

Here is the largest bandit den in Wan'an County, Anping Village.

There are more than 8000 bandits in Anping Village.

This number is astonishing.

Twenty-five hundred soldiers from the Lengtai Battalion went through several prefectures from Yanping County to Wan'an County to suppress the bandits. The total number of bandits suppressed reached more than 9000, and more than 100 people were killed.

With two thousand and four against eight thousand, one can fight three against four.

Therefore, this battle must be fought well.

He brought these people out, but he didn't want them to die in the ravines suppressing bandits instead of on the battlefield against foreign enemies.

Xia Xinhe, the magistrate of Jiachen Prefecture, brought his fellow magistrates, magistrates and others to greet him on the day Xia Chixiao arrived, as well as a local garrison.

Xia Chixiao looked at the guard Mei Shijie and said, "I didn't expect that Jiachen Mansion actually has troops stationed there. I wonder how many troops are there now?"

Xia Xinhe smiled sarcastically: "If it weren't for these garrison troops, the bandits from Anping Village would have attacked the city."

Mei Shijie made a military salute and said: "Back to the general, the garrison under the command of the last general has a total of 2000 people."

"We are going to attack Pingan Pingzhai, but we don't have enough manpower. Your Majesty allows me to second the garrison. General Mei, please bring in all the garrison troops!"

Mei Shijie wondered: "This...General Xia, if all the garrison troops are mobilized, if there is an emergency..."

"Apart from banditry or the need for garrison troops in war, what other emergencies can arise?" Xia Chixiao asked calmly, "Or is Mei Guard unwilling to listen to my orders?"

Mei Shijie thought to himself: "No, no, no, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. General Xia asked to transfer the garrison, then the general will go and transfer all the garrison."

Xia Xinhe smoothed things over and said, "General Xia, you have just arrived and you haven't even had a drink of water yet. The army also needs to rest. I have already prepared food, drinks and accommodation. How about the general rest for the night first? How about tomorrow?"

"Prefect Xia, you are in a good mood!" Xia Chixiao said calmly: "There are more than 8000 bandits in Jiaqing Prefecture. Now I have been ordered to come to suppress the bandits. Prefect Xia still has the heart to prepare food, drinks and accommodation, so he is not in a hurry!"

Xia Xinhe: "..."

He cursed in his heart, he was indeed the second generation ancestor who came from the capital and had a higher eye than anyone else. He relied on his skill and ability to stand above the rest.He didn't need to fight the war, but he had a share of the credit.The food and wine were prepared to give him face, but he didn't show any mercy at all.

He sneered and said: "No way, no way, I'm used to it!"

"Prefect Xia can get used to it because those ruthless bandits will not attack the government office. Prefect Xia is very safe! Have you ever thought about what life is like for the people in your territory?"

There are two thousand troops in the garrison, plus the manpower that the government can mobilize. As long as Xia Xinhe and Mei Shijie can pursue their own affairs in their positions, these bandits cannot be allowed to gather up to eight thousand people and become a target that they can no longer gnaw on. giant.

He looked at Mei Shijie and said, "Mei Guards, the suppression of the bandits has to be carried out without further delay. Please go and mobilize the troops now. I need to formulate a battle plan based on the situation of the garrison."

Xia Xinhe wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "General Xia, I am not a garrulous official. Now we know nothing about the situation of the bandits in Anping Village. Are you too hasty to make a battle plan right away? Don't you need to know yourself and the enemy? ?"

Sure enough, he is a noble son who came to seek military merit. He has not even read basic military books, right?
"That's not your concern!" He glanced at Mei Shijie with a faint gaze.The young general was wearing light armor, his brows were sharp and angular, he was tough, resolute and persistent, and the stern look in his eyes was heavy and oppressive. Such eyes are the naturally oppressive eyes of those in high positions. They are also the expression of iron-blooded soldiers fighting on the battlefield. The sharp suppression that comes from tempering.

Mei Shijie didn't dare to stay any longer, so he just said: "Yes!" and ran out immediately.

Xia Xinhe hurriedly said: "General Xia, please come this way!"

Xia Chixiao said: "If it is food and wine, there is no need. There is food in the army, and I will eat with the soldiers!"

Xia Xinhe said: "No, no, since General Xia is so upright and upright, I cannot be a hindrance. I would like to invite General Xia to join the official office and introduce to you everything we know about the bandits in Anping Village!"

Xia Chixiao said: "Please!"

Xia Xinhe said to his master: "Master Wang, bring out all the case files about the bandits in Anping Village. General Xia has precious time, don't delay!"

"Yes, let's go right now!"

Half an hour later, Xia Chixiao frowned slightly.

The case files on Xia Xinhe's side are almost all complaints filed by ordinary people against bandits for burning, killing, and looting, and there is no useful information at all.

Does Xia Xinhe call this a known situation?

They knew nothing about Anping Village.

They didn't know that there were three camps in the Anping Village with a total of seven camp owners and more than 700 people.

Little did he know that these bandits would kidnap at least seven times a month, each time led by a different village leader.The surrounding area was robbed by them. They stormed the county government office and killed all the county magistrates.

They also didn’t know that the women who had been robbed up the mountain in Anping Village were not counted as dead, but now there are more than 400 people still alive.Those women were used as tools for sex by the bandits, and their lives were miserable and life was worse than death!

Those bandits were feasting and drinking in the village, because they took advantage of the war on the border to rob the granaries of two county governments. They had sufficient food reserves. They also robbed a lot of gold and silver, enough for them to squander for a long time.

Xia Xinhe, as a local magistrate, had no knowledge of all this!

But the anger in his heart came after seeing the garrison troops transferred by Mei Shijie.

In the huge venue, a group of people wearing garrison uniforms stood.

The oldest of these people are over 60 years old, the youngest are only twelve or thirteen years old, and less than half are young adults.

What’s even more outrageous is that there were only 200 people in total.

On the roster, there are two thousand.

Eight hundred free wages!

No wonder there are troops stationed there, but bandits still become a climate!
Mei Shijie said: "General Xia, some of them have been transferred to other places to perform tasks, and it is really impossible to gather them all. These are all the people who can be transferred now!"

This is because Xia Chixiao doesn't understand and wants to fool him with casual words.

Xia Chixiao naturally understands, but now he has no time to argue with these people.

His grandmother and his unseen wife may have returned to the capital, and he had to speed up the suppression of bandits so that he could return to the capital as soon as possible.What are you doing wasting your time with these people?
Xia Chixiao said in a deep voice to the garrison, which was mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, "Everyone, listen, I am the commander Xia Chixiao who came to Jiachen Mansion to suppress the bandits this time. If you want to join me in making achievements, please stand to the left."
