The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 117 Dilemma
"After all, we are all from our own family. Can we not go to war?" Jiang Tao asked tentatively. Although he was sure of defeating the opponent, violence was not the best way to solve the problem. After all, Jinzhai County had too few people.

If these two can be dealt with again, most of the problems in Jinzhai County will be solved, and the rest of the small forces will surely surrender.

"The leader of Gaoshanzhai has a very good relationship with his subordinates, so I have some confidence, but the leader of Hongchongzhai cherishes money like his life, and is mean and hard to deal with. If my three families hadn't spoken first, I'm afraid it would be impossible to ask him to send troops to help." The longer County Magistrate Dai knew Jiang Tao, the more he found that he was kind, so he simply told the truth.

"Okay, let's meet them on the flat ground below the mountain, um, let's use the banner of County Magistrate Dai, so as not to scare them away!" Jiang Tao felt more and more that County Magistrate Dai was different, and that he acted according to his plans. , and thinking about protecting himself everywhere, if he hadn't taken precautions today, and he had miscalculated the ferocity of the Black Tiger Army, he might have been decapitated long ago. Anti.

"What the general said is very true, the subordinates are going to prepare now!" County Magistrate Dai said appreciatively, the details determine success or failure, the Black Tiger Army's success is absolutely indispensable to the Black Tiger's plan, he has long forgotten that he is bold and unruly Aware of the unhappiness just now, he only thought about the Black Tiger Army, but if the defeat of the Black Tiger Army was already determined, he didn't mind pushing the boat along.

In the battle just now, many of the prince's guards were killed and injured, and the rest of the guards were leaderless, all in a trance and restless.

There are more than a hundred of them, and if there is a turmoil, the destructive power will be great. Jiang Tao thought of them, and hurriedly called them together, comforting them, and not thinking of soliciting them.

Most of the prince's bodyguards present were recruited by Yang Qilong recently. They were either homeless refugees or so-called people from the Jianghu. Many of them were skilled and well-informed. Unexpectedly, not only did Heihu not kill them to prevent future troubles, Still being treated so leniently, some people lost their support and immediately fell on the ground and said: "I am willing to die for the general!"

The other group stood there abruptly, speechless.

As long as they didn't make a fuss, Jiang Tao was happy. Those who surrendered were rewarded with ten taels of silver, and ten elite black tiger guards were selected to train them to see the effect, and then rewarded with names.

He also said to the rest of the people: "Since you don't want to join the Black Tiger Army, you can take five taels of entanglement. After the general has repelled the Qing army, you can go back to your hometown. But during this period, don't do anything wrong. The sky net is extensive but not leaky, this general will not let you down."

Those people thanked loudly after hearing the words: "The general is merciful, the villain will never dare to offend Huwei again."

Jiang Tao nodded and ignored him. He didn't expect those people to take the money and run faster than rabbits, and they all scattered away.

These people can't make any troubles, hey, is there no loyal bodyguard of the fake prince among them?

Although Jiang Tao was puzzled, he didn't get to the bottom of it. He is a fox and always shows his tail.

Jiang Tao ordered Jiang Shi to take two hundred black tiger guards to closely protect the prince, and then he took the rest of the soldiers out of the village to wait for the "reinforcements" from Gaoshan village and Hong Chong village.

At this time, these "reinforcements" were less than ten miles away from Jinji Village.

County Magistrate Dai also selected Wu Baierlang to line up in front of the Black Tiger Army. He stood straight on the right side of the Black Tiger, and then he felt that he was a bit of a joke. If his plan was more detailed, maybe the famous Black Tiger He has become his own prisoner, and then it will be another scene.

"Brother Dai, what are you thinking about?"

County Magistrate Dai woke up with a start: "The subordinates are thinking, how did the general train these tiger and wolf divisions?"

"Hehe, these are not the most elite troops of the Black Tiger Army. Can the leader of Gaoshanzhai answer?" Jiang Tao said with a light smile, but it was full of deep meaning.

County Magistrate Dai had no choice but to believe that he had already found out that the Black Tiger Army blocked all exits in Jinzhai County, and they were heavily guarded. He said without hesitation: "Not yet, but the leader of Gaoshanzhai must have made a wise choice .”

The key to this is really uncertain, Jiang Tao is not sure, although he made an exception and promised that as long as he cooperates with the Black Tiger Army to solve Hongchong Village, he can share one-third of Hongchong Village's wealth and food, and he will serve as Jinzhai County The deputy county magistrate, of course, paid a lot of money. He could only keep [-] acres of land, and hand over the rest to the public and all private soldiers.

But if this person is hotheaded and insists on fighting, there is no way.

"Report, Gaoshanzhai and Hongchongzhai are retreating in a hurry."

County Magistrate Dai's right eye jumped up suddenly, he didn't dare to say any more, he was terrified in his heart, if Heihu accused himself of the crime of raving, then he really couldn't explain clearly.

Jiang Tao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, he was afraid of what would happen, so he ordered without thinking: "Full speed pursuit!"

County Magistrate Dai was relieved and ordered: "Chasing, don't let anyone go."

The soldiers and horses from these two villages all came from afar, so how could they run away.

An hour later, the imposing Black Tiger Army had caught up with the soldiers and horses of Hong Chong Village. In front of the forest of spears, the soldiers and horses of Hong Chong Village were powerless and had nowhere to go. thousands of miles.

Jiang Tao didn't dare to be careless, and while ordering more than a hundred Black Tiger Guards to guard the prisoners, he said to the exhausted Black Tiger Army: "The soldiers have worked hard, but these landlords are even more unarmed. Let's follow up and kill them all at once. This general personally asks for credit for the brothers! Hehe, the beautiful girls in the Detachment of Women are waiting for everyone to make meritorious deeds, kill, blood will not be shed, and death will not stop!"

The morale of the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army suddenly increased. They all screamed, some drooled, and they all followed behind Jiang Tao...

On the other side, County Magistrate Wei personally chased after him. After all, his subordinates were waiting for work with leisure, and their momentum was high. The two armies fought fiercely for a quarter of an hour, and finally defeated the soldiers and horses of Gaoshanzhai. Back to Gaoshanzhai.

In the end, County Magistrate Wei had no choice but to surround the exit of Gaoshanzhai. He sighed and asked the leader of Gaoshanzhai to come out and answer: "Brother Xu, why bother? General Heihu is very human. If you ask to surrender as soon as possible, you will come back." and!"

"Shameless person, you are in vain for me to regard you as a brother, and you conspired with others to earn my Gaoshanzhai. Xu broke up with you today, and you and I will be enemies in the future. Take over the dog's head here!" Leader Xu of Gaoshanzhai came from the mountain Throwing down a human head, he roared while gnashing his teeth.

"You! Brother!" County Magistrate Wei almost fainted, and cried out. The head that rolled down was his clan brother, and also the envoy he sent to secretly negotiate with Chief Xu.

This miscalculation made him too regretful, and he shouted bitterly: "Xu Zhan, I will not be a human being unless I kill you!"

Erlang under his command had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack up the mountain. In less than an hour, more than two hundred people were killed or injured. Only then did County Magistrate Dai calm down and hurriedly ordered the rest of Erlang to stand firm while inviting Heihu.

In today's situation, only the black tiger army can come to capture this stronghold. County Magistrate Dai looked at the steep mountain, with mixed feelings in his heart, thinking of Xu Zhan, who doesn't care about the general trend, secretly contemptuous in his heart, you just wait for your family to be ruined, hmph , I will let you live for a few days.

........................ ..
Xu Zhan ordered his subordinates to stand guard in Gaoshanzhai, but he hid in his room to drink. In fact, he had lost his mind a long time ago, so he hurriedly invited the elders of the clan.

The elder was already sick, came over tremblingly, gasped and said: "Baby, in the current situation, how can you drink excessively?"

"At this moment, my nephew is in a state of disarray, and my Gaoshan village is in a difficult situation, and my nephew doesn't want to compromise, so I ask my uncle to teach me." Xu Zhan drank the wine in his glass and said decadently.

"Baby, since you can't retreat, you can only fight. Immediately gather all the young and strong in the mountain, and stick to it. Why be afraid?"

The silver-haired elder patted the table, saying that he hated iron but steel.

"But the Black Tiger Army has blocked all the main roads, how long can we hold on?" Xu Zhan regained the momentum of some patriarchs and sighed aggrievedly.

"Hehe, the Black Tiger Army is a bandit after all, how long can it last?" The elder smiled helplessly, feeling that it was a little thoughtless to entrust the family business to this person, so how can the family business last forever?
"Uncle's wonderful words, my nephew is going to supervise the battle!" Xu Zhan was so angry that the fear in his heart was swept away, he didn't talk to the elder, and strode out.
