The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 67 Power and Power

"Really!" The man stood up excitedly, knelt on the ground in an instant, and cried, "I am willing to die for the general!"

His actions made the surrounding guards jump. The guards all held the handle of the knife and stared at him with bated breath. Jiang Tao was also very puzzled, what's wrong with this man?Is it necessary to react like this?
"The general doesn't know that the villain is Qi Datou, a tenant of the Luo family. He has been helpless since he was a child, and he specializes in herding cattle for the Luo family. The whole Luo family not only ridicules the villain in every possible way, but also often teases and beats him. The villain is short in stature and insults the villain. He does not allow the villain to enter the castle to avoid the disaster of war. I don’t want the general to go all the way without committing any crimes. This time I came here to offer a plan to break the castle!" Qi Datou said gratefully.

"Please hurry up, strong men. Everyone has their own strengths. A strong man should not underestimate himself. Seeing you speak, it seems that he has read a book." Seeing his appearance, Jiang Tao probably couldn't think of any clever strategies, but he He didn't even show a look of contempt, as long as someone sincerely turned to him, he would definitely welcome him with his hands up.

"The villain eavesdropped on Mr. Private School's lectures back then, and barely knew a few words, which made the general laugh. When the villain was grazing cattle a few days ago, he accidentally discovered a secret road, which may lead directly to Luojiabao." Qi Datou She said in embarrassment, but when she thought of the suffering she had suffered in the Luo family, she puffed up her chest again, thinking of her childhood ambitions, her heart soared with pride, even if she died, she had to live like a human being.

"Oh, very good, let me explain in detail quickly!" Jiang Tao was overjoyed when he heard the words, he was poor for three generations, and where there is a will, there is a way, and he was a little worried in his heart. Could this person be another trick of the Luo family?Maybe it was the dead soldiers of the Luo family who tricked their subordinates into the tunnel to kill them, so he had to be careful, he had experienced the tactics of the Luo family.

But Qi Datou didn't see the strange expression on Jiang Tao's expression, and continued: "In the bushes behind the mountain, the villain has walked several miles in the tunnel, but he hasn't reached the end yet, it's pitch black, afraid of being discovered Then he backed out, the general can send someone to visit, the villain is definitely not lying."

Seeing what he said was plausible, Jiang Tao laughed loudly and said: "Okay, if this is the case, I will not be stingy with rewards. Now I will listen to it by my side first, and take the title of team leader. Pass the order down. After the fire is extinguished, The black tiger guards the road on the south side of Qingtong, and the snow geese leads the road on the north side of Qingtong, be careful of traps, the whole army rests for a night today, and tomorrow we will take this fort with all our might."

"Obey!" All the generals said, but their morale was not as good as before.

"It is passed down that all the soldiers who died in battle will be buried in a magnificent manner, and a stele will be erected for posterity to look up at and enjoy the incense in the world. All their family members will be cared for by this general. All soldiers do not need to be afraid. The only thing they can do is drive away the Tartars. Only then can we be the masters of the family and own our own fields and property, otherwise our descendants can only be slaves to the Tartars forever and humble themselves to others.”

Jiang Tao said righteously, all the officers and men in the hall were moved, and when the whole army knew about this, everyone was not at peace. In such a short period of time, more than 80 Black Tiger Guards were killed or injured. Although no one said, But everyone is in danger, maybe it will be their turn in the next moment.

In this way, although everyone was still afraid of death, after understanding why they died, their scruples became much less, and their low morale began to pick up again.

"Okay, Commander Luo immediately sent people to fish out all the brothers who were trapped inside, and arranged for a funeral. The whole army will wear mourning, and avenge the blood hatred for the brothers tomorrow morning!"

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, only Jiang Bao and Qi Datou were left behind. After a secret arrangement, Jiang Bao immediately led several people to cooperate with Qi Datou and dived towards the back mountain.

The key to easily capture this fort depends on the situation in the tunnel. Tomorrow morning, there will be an attack from both inside and outside, so Jiang Tao sneered and went outside the camp to patrol around and visit the wounded soldiers.

A big black man who looked like a god was booing and inquiring about his health everywhere, which made all the soldiers feel awe and excitement at the same time. There are also warm moments in the cold winter.

............................................. ..
At this time, in the Guangzhou County Yamen, the magistrate threw Huang Shoubei's secret letter on the ground heavily, repelled the black-clothed bodyguards who were kneeling on the ground, and said with an uncertain expression: "Tell me, what should we do now? "

The bureaucrats didn't know the situation so they dared to say more.

A squinting white-faced, white-clothed scholar tapped his thigh with a folding fan in one hand, and picked up the secret letter with the other. After a while, he frowned and said, "Master Zhizhou, the only thing we can do now is suppress! And it must be done as soon as possible."

"The death of this idiot Huang Shoubei is not a pity, but it has caused more than a thousand soldiers. Now the city is short of troops, what can we do?" Sip the tea carefully.

Zhizhou looked at the crowd helplessly, and all the staff members avoided their eyes, so he could only look at the white-faced scholar pitifully.

"Your Majesty Zhizhou, you can't hide such a big event. If you don't prepare early, I'm afraid there will be a spark to start a prairie fire, and then it will be difficult." The white-faced scholar left Zhizhou for a while, coughed, and said calmly.

"What Li Juren said is very true." All the bureaucrats were sympathetic and obedient.

Zhizhou cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he said respectfully to the white-faced scholar: "Brother Li, please ask your elder brother for advice, otherwise it will be a small matter to lose the official position for your brother, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of ransacking the family and destroying the family. Light."

After speaking, she squeezed out a few tears, and looked at Li Juren affectionately. Li Juren was well-informed and shuddered in his heart.

And Zhizhou knew in his heart that if Li Juren didn't help in this matter, he would have no good fruit to eat.

This person's elder brother is a high official in the capital, and he has a very good personal relationship with the governor. He has been making friends deliberately, and today he is specially invited here, hoping that he can be used now.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Li Juren just said these two words with a smile, but there was no more to say, and he just sipped his tea calmly.

Zhizhou was impatient, but he didn't dare to vent his anger. He suddenly understood that this person has always been greedy for money, and he has long set his sights on the Huang family's fertile land. Smooth sailing?
Zhizhou hurriedly repelled his subordinates, and said with a smile: "Since Huang Shoubei secretly communicated with the leader of the bandit and made the bandit bigger, the Huang family must also have the intention of rebelling. From today onwards, all the property of the Huang family will be confiscated, and the family members will be killed or sent to Lingnan. , hehe, I wonder if Brother Li wants to buy these fertile fields?"

"Oh, hehe, I think so, but I have no money. My brother is not as powerful and powerful as Master Zhizhou. The expenses of hundreds of people in my family are too high, and it will soon be overwhelmed." Li Juren shook his head and smiled wryly. Almost cried.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, since my younger brother likes it, everything can be said, hehe." Zhizhou smiled wickedly, indescribably wretched.

"Okay, refreshing, don't worry, Lord Zhizhou, I'll go to meet the Governor, there are still [-] elite cavalry in Henan Province, it's not easy to destroy these bandits, but the journey is far away, it's very costly to go up and down, alas! Li Juren shook his head and sighed again.

Hearing the sound of sighing, Zhizhou's heart became cold again. He felt aggrieved and scolded endlessly, but he knew the truth that big things don't care about small things, so he hurriedly took out 5 taels of silver bills, and said with a fake smile: "This Xiaoyi also invites brother Li to serve, don’t be too small, after this matter is completed, I have a big thank you, brother.”

"Well, even if my younger brother runs away to death, I still want to invite the governor's cavalry, so I will leave now, but I would like to advise you, you must guard the city no matter what." Only then was Li Juren satisfied, and put it away unceremoniously. He took out the banknote and said solemnly.

"Brother, save it. When my brother comes back, I will entertain my virtuous brother again." Zhizhou greeted the guests with fists in his arms, hating him to death, why didn't he have a powerful elder brother?
