A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 64 The Yushan Bandits Descend from the Mountain

Huang Xin from Sanshan Town did not come.

He went back halfway.

The original letter Qingzhou received asking for help stated that there were nearly ten thousand soldiers, and what they needed were generals who could compete with Li Gui.

So Huang Xin set out on the road with only a dozen soldiers, and it would only take seven or eight days to arrive. Even including the time for the messenger to arrive, it would not take half a month in total.

But who would have expected that in just a few days, the situation on the frontline would change dramatically, and everything would turn upside down.

Some of the generals who escaped were unlucky enough to bump into Huang Xin on the way. When Huang Xin caught him and asked him, he found out what happened.

Huang Xin didn't want to come originally. Although he boasted the name of "Suppressing Three Mountains" to great effect, he actually knew in his heart what his level was, otherwise he wouldn't have followed Qin Ming's advice and followed Liangshan.

How could he defeat Li Gui, who couldn't even defeat his master Qin Ming?
But Magistrate Murong had his destiny, and he didn't dare not come. He was wasting his time along the way. Fortunately, he met an escaped general on the way, which gave him an excuse to go back, so he left without saying a word, taking the escaped general with him. .

As long as he goes back and reports this situation to Magistrate Murong, the two civil servants will naturally start bickering with each other, and there will be nothing wrong with him.

Even if he receives an order to suppress the bandits again, it will be a matter for next time. Then he will find a way to bring Hua Rong with him. With his sharp shooting, it will be much safer.

Being in the same state, he was actually very aware of Hua Rong's marksmanship, so when he captured Hua Rong in the book, he did not dare to use force. Instead, he hosted a banquet and arrested people during the banquet.

How he came to be the Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses, he knew best in his heart. It didn't matter if he bragged or something on a daily basis, but when it came to the battlefield, he had to bring some masters with him to be safe.

If Qin Ming had been as aware of current affairs as he was, he wouldn't have been an ordinary little ruler until now.

However, Huang Xin knew how to act appropriately. Even if he retreated, he still sent his cronies to Yishui County. On the one hand, he informed the Yishui County Magistrate and went through the motions, and on the other hand, he also went to find out the real situation to avoid being tortured by his subordinates. Cheated.

Li Gui gathered most of the surrendered troops and drove away all those who didn't want to leave without giving them severance pay.

It is none of Li Gui's business whether they will be begging on the street or performing on the streets after they run out of money.

If these Qiu Ba cannot survive and turn around and fall into the grass, there may be a chance to see them again in the future.

In the days that followed, Li Gui was busy reorganizing and training his troops, trying to restore the strength of the village to its former glory before the next wave of imperial offensive.

It was under this circumstance that Li Gui received the news that his second uncle Li Liye had been arrested.

After receiving the news that the court wanted to recruit him, he secretly went to find his second uncle and wanted him to go up the mountain with him, but he was sternly rejected by his second uncle.

Li Liye was an honest man. Although he practiced martial arts, he never did any evil. He just kept his land, farmed and did business, and accumulated family property.

He was particularly disdainful of Li Gui's "cheating and sneaking" behavior, thinking that if he did not follow the right path, he would suffer losses sooner or later.

They were all stubborn Shandong men, and Li Gui couldn't convince him, so he had no choice but to give up.

But the relationship between the two was not affected. During festivals, Li Gui rarely gave generous gifts, and his second uncle did not refuse and accepted them all.

Just so as not to affect the life of the second uncle's family, the relationship between the two has always been kept secret and has never been known to outsiders.

On the surface, the two families had severed their relationship long ago, otherwise even if Ding Zhixian was given ten courages, he would not dare to touch Li Liye.

Not only the officials but also the spies in the village didn't know. Every time Li Gui went down the mountain, only Zhu Fu accompanied him. Only Zhu Fu knew Li Liye's identity.

Zhu Fu had stayed on the mountain because of the official army coming to suppress him. When the Qingzhou Army retreated, he was busy reorganizing and surrendering troops and never went down the mountain.

After everything was on track, he went down the mountain to the hotel to collect intelligence, and stopped by Li Liye's house to take a look, and then he realized that something had happened here.

Zhu Fu hurriedly dropped what he was doing, hurried back to the mountain, and told Li Gui about the situation. Li Gui exploded at that time.

"What a good dog magistrate!"

"How dare you harm my second uncle!"

"See if I don't peel off his skin!"

"Call Brother Qi, we will destroy the county town today and have dinner in the city tonight!" Zhu Fu went out and beat the crowd drum, and soon everyone gathered.

Li Gui stood on the stage holding a big ax and shouted loudly:

"brothers!"

"Now there are no gentry in the villages of Yishui County, and all the wealthy households are in the city. Today, I will go to the city to kill them all!"

"The magistrate of Yishui County does not know the destiny and tries to resist the stronghold. It will lead to a dead end!"

"You should attack the city first. After the city is defeated, go to the gentry's mansion in teams to clear it."

"Old rules, kill everyone, take away things, don't set fire to the house!"

"If you encounter any obstruction, just shoot the command arrow, and reinforcements will come immediately."

"Gather at the county government office after this is over, do you understand?"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this and agreed in unison.

"Okay, all regular soldiers and copycats, follow me down the mountain!"

Li Gui whistled, and the generals at all levels followed him down the mountain with the formal troops that had been reorganized and trained, leaving only Li Yun and the new soldiers to stay and guard the stronghold.

The army rushed all the way, and soon arrived at Yishui County.

It was still early in the day and the city gate had not yet closed. The soldiers beside the gate were lazily leaning against the wall, wrapped in shabby cotton clothes, basking in the winter sun and thinking about what to eat to fill their stomachs in the evening.While he was in a trance, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and a group of people and horses coming towards this direction.

In order to stabilize order in the city, Magistrate Ding had already spread the word to the whole city that the Qingzhou Army would bring reinforcements, but they didn't know about Huang Xin's return after walking halfway.

When I saw this large group of people approaching, my first reaction was that the Qingzhou Army had arrived. But after I got closer, I realized something was wrong. The armor on these people was different from that of the official army.

Li Gui was very fast. After he got close to the city, he galloped forward and rushed over first. His ferocious face scared the guard from a distance.

These are not official troops, these are Yushan bandits!
After realizing this, they threw the spears on the ground without saying a word, ignored the city gate, turned around and ran away, shouting as they ran:

"The Yushan bandits are here!"

"The Yushan bandits came down from the mountain to attack the city..."

When Li Gui rushed to the city gate, he found that not to mention the soldiers guarding the city, the entire street near the city gate was clean and there was no one left. They were all gone.

Pots, pans, rotten vegetable leaves, and lost straw sandals were all strewn all over the floor. It was a mess, and it looked particularly desolate when the breeze blew.

Li Gui spit on the ground viciously and cursed loudly:
"Fuck you!"

"You are not gentry, you are afraid of a bird!"

"Grandpa, is this more domineering than the street tiger?"

There was no need to rob this ruined city at all, it was captured easily.

Looking at it like this, there is no resistance at all.

Li Gui waited for a while, and after the large troops arrived, he asked each team to go and ransack the house under the leadership of the spies.

Everyone in the village had long known that such a day would come, so Zhu Fu's spies had already investigated the gentry and their wealth. Now all they had to do was go from house to house, killing people and collecting money.

Li Gui, on the other hand, took an ax and went straight to the county government with a few soldiers.

　Huang Xin's official position is the State Military and Horse Supervisor, most likely the eighth rank.
