Chapter 9
Chapter 9
There are three giants in Yingchuan County, who are in charge of the life and death power of hundreds of thousands of people.

One is the sheriff.

The second is the captain who is in charge of the military of a county.

Ye Xiao really didn't expect that the captain of a county would personally issue a secret order to him for such a trivial matter, asking him to return to Anlu County, saying that it was for other purposes.

But he has been stationed here for a month and a half, and the banditry on the mountain is about to be eliminated, so how can he just retreat?

"I heard that the owner of the Caodang village was originally a general of Yingchuan County?"

After several people read the secret order, Ye Xiao asked with a frown.

"My lord, indeed."

Lin Baijiang nodded.

"If he hadn't offended the dignitaries, General Li Pi might have gone a step further by now."

"Oh……"

Ye Xiao suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"Offended the dignitaries of the state capital, and even escaped after being imprisoned in a big prison, and he happened to occupy the mountain in Yingchuan County as the king. No one can suppress Xiaoju mountain forest for several years. It's incredible."

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"It's a pity, no matter who is standing behind you, even if it's the county captain or even the prefect governor, I'll take down this bandit!"

Ye Xiao could faintly guess that Li Mou might be the backhand of a certain official left outside.

Is this an upright way of raising bandits to be self-respecting, or is it using this to raise private soldiers?
Ye Xiao didn't know, he could only say that his current status was indeed much worse, and he still couldn't understand those secrets.

"General, what about the captain's secret order?"

Zhang Cheng glanced at it and said hesitantly.

Ye Xiao grabbed it in his hand and crushed it.

"What secret order? Since it's not an imperial court order, I didn't see anything!"

The imperial court is the imperial court, and the captain is the captain. Ye Xiao can still tell the difference.

Seven days have passed since the secret order was communicated.

Li Mou on the mountain couldn't sit still.

Now the food in Caodang Village is not enough for the entire village to live for a month, if this stalemate continues, Caodang Mountain will be destroyed by itself!

"Come on!"

Li Mou got up abruptly and recruited several big bosses.

Several people sat around and discussed together, and then left separately.

It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, the night of killing people.

The camps of the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain were still brightly lit, but they were still the same as in the past. There was not even a person standing guard outside the tents, and they all seemed to be sleeping late.

If people who didn't know saw it, they would think that this group of officers and soldiers came out to visit the mountains and rivers.

Then under the cover of night, shadows descended from both ends of Caodang Mountain.

When the evening wind blows, countless leaves tremble slightly.

The distance from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain is only 300 meters, and it would not take much time to walk.

After hundreds of pairs of eyes came down the mountain and stared at the group of tents after hesitating for a while.

I could only hear someone whispering an order: "Kill!"

The leader bit the long knife in his mouth, and touched it out lightly, and soon came the second and third.

The mountain road is narrow, even if hundreds of people go down the mountain, they can only go out one by one.

However, when half of the people walked out, a sudden change occurred!

"post!"

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded on the hill opposite Caodang Mountain.

Before the bandit could react, countless dark shadows suddenly appeared in the originally quiet tent.

"shoot!"

Someone yelled, and in the night, the bandits saw countless flying arrows falling.

Li Mou, who was still at the foot of the mountain, changed his face when he saw this, and shouted: "It's over! Get out!"

Such a premeditated scene made him subconsciously think that he was in an ambush!
But it is easy to go down the mountain, but it is difficult to go up the mountain!The mountain road is only wide for one person, and there are hundreds of people rushing from left to right in a panic. How to go up the mountain quickly?
Rows of arrows rained down, and countless bandits died on the spot.

A series of black shadows in the tent came out with weapons in their hands, and many of them were low-level generals with extraordinary courage.

The right mountain pass is the main business.

Ye Xiao walked out of the camp in armor, looking at the battle in front of him a little strangely, but also somewhat expected.

The guard behind him smiled and said: "The general really has the foresight to let the soldiers sleep without retreating, and the soldiers never leave their hands. The soldiers also work in two shifts, one in the dark and one in the light. They pretend to be defenseless. Like a lion in a dream, it wakes up anytime and chooses someone to devour!"

Ye Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It's just a trick."

Marching outside, how can we not be prepared?
After so many peaceful days and nights, it turns out that there is always nothing wrong with being careful.

The sounds of chaos, fighting, and footsteps gradually stopped in my ears.

Yue Fei, who was guarding the left end, sent people to report that he had killed more than 160 enemies, captured six out of ten prisoners, and there was no casualty in the headquarters!Only a few unlucky ones suffered minor injuries.

Ye Xiao's battle damage also came out quickly.

More than 33 enemies were killed, [-] were captured, and one person was slightly injured!
Dajie Ye Xiao immediately raised his head and laughed out loud after reading the battle report.

This was his first battle as a county lieutenant, so he naturally wanted a good result.

Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that they were attacking unintentionally and taking advantage of the night, the enemy army panicked and didn't resist at all, Ye Xiao's headquarters would not have suffered any casualties.

"General, the bandit leader is dead!"

Suddenly, a hundred generals rushed over with several captives and a corpse.

"Li Mou is dead?!"

Ye Xiao was startled, and then turned into joy.

I saw that the sent corpse was pierced by an arrow, and the dead couldn't die anymore!
"Is this your village master?"

Ye Xiao looked at the prisoners.

Those mountain bandits were full of grief and were speechless for a long time.

"The county lieutenant asked you to speak!"

Zhang Cheng kicked them, knocking them to the ground.

One of the scrawny men cupped his fists and said, "My lord, this man is the village master of Caodang! The grass people are originally from Qingshui Village in Anlu. They are good people who were taken captive. Please learn from me!"

"The official will check it out."

Ye Xiao said lightly.

"Go, send the order down, let all the soldiers..."

Early in the morning of the second day, hundreds of officers and soldiers shouted towards the mountain from the foot of the mountain: "Li Mou has surrendered to the imperial court, surrender without killing!"

Li Mou didn't return all night, and Caodang village was already in chaos.

After hearing this, many people were relieved.

But there are still some people who insist that this is a trick of the court and would rather die than surrender.

The two factions each had a few big leaders leading the team, and due to disagreements, bloody conflicts broke out that day.

In this battle, more people died than officers and soldiers killed yesterday!

There are more people who are afraid of death than those who are not. The remaining [-] men, women and children, holding the white flag, descended the mountain that night.

The soldiers were eager to go home, and at dawn the next day, a long team appeared in front of Anlu County.

On this day, the soldiers guarding the city gate had just opened the city gate, and the soldiers standing at the top of the city to change the guard looked at the distant mountains.

Then he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and pulled the brother beside him and said, "Old Wang, what is it over there? It's so long and dark?"

Another soldier looked at it intently, and ran down the wall with a cry of surprise.

"The Yellow Turban Army is attacking! Close the city gates quickly!!"

All of a sudden, the entire Anlu county town was watching the wind, and the county magistrate Liu beat drums again to summon private soldiers from various families, and together with dozens of arrests, a row was barely full at the top of the city.
