During dinner, my sister-in-law asked: "Brother, how long do you think it will be before those rebels come to our place?"
"It was originally three or four days."
Luo Chong replied: "Now, ten days and eight days may not be enough."
With Ma Hanzi's team of cavalry harassing them all the way, the rebels couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep at night. They were just a mob without much discipline. In addition, the people who came under coercion were crying and making trouble, and they could walk ten miles a day. The land is pretty good.
Ten miles of land sounds like a small amount, and a healthy young man can cover it in less than an hour while humming a tune. But if there are tens of thousands of people crowded on the road, one will fall down, another will run away, and these people will look for food along the road. Yes, those people collectively went to the tuba, and it was really slow as a turtle crawling. It¡¯s not an exaggeration at all.
Every time the cavalry harasses them, it will definitely cause many people to panic and run away. If you don't retreat, then burn some incense.
"There are still more than ten days."
The sister-in-law showed a playful and playful smile: "I won't worry about it until then. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it these days."
Luo's mother praised: "Dong'er is really good at training soldiers. The children in the town used to look like skinny monkeys or slackers. In less than a month, looking at them, they all turned into strong young men. He's in high spirits."
"Feed your belly, pay on time, practice until death."
Luo Chong said with a smile: "No one can practice well."
"That's the truth."
Luo's mother nodded: "Your father said that if you can have two taels of silver every month to fill your stomach, the soldiers of our Jin Dynasty will definitely be the best. No one dares to provoke them."
"Um."
Luo Chong nodded: "There are many of us."
Then he said to Luo Xiuer: "Starting tomorrow, don't go out to give out porridge. I have found a teacher for you and you will start to read and write tomorrow."
Luo Xiuer nodded in agreement. She went to donate porridge not for the sake of good reputation, but just to find something to do. She felt uncomfortable being idle at home.
"Xiu'er has changed a lot."
Luo¡¯s mother objectively commented: ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days, but I already act like a housekeeper.¡±
Luo Chong said deliberately: "If you keep a gloomy face all day long, others will look scared, so you can pretend to be good at it."
"I'm not pretending."
Luo Xiuer didn't care what Luo's mother said, but she just couldn't listen to Luo Chong's criticism and immediately defended in a low voice: "I'm not shady either, I'm laughing every day."
¡°That¡¯s right, laugh once a day.¡±
Luo Chong still refused to let her go.
"This child"
Luo¡¯s mother smiled and tapped her son. Anyway, every time she ate, her chopsticks would hit Luo Chong a few times, either on the back of her hands or on his head.
"I can only say that this kid deserves a beating."
Before going to bed at night, Luo Xiuer rubbed Luo Chong's back again in the bathhouse, but she was still thinking about this incident, so she asked him: "Do you really think that I am gloomy all day?"
"That's nonsense."
Luo Chong then made her feel relieved: "I just hope you will be happier and happier. You will be happy when you see others like a fool."
"Are you still drooling?" She became happy now.
The next morning, the fat man Wei Guangliang, the county magistrate, handed a stack of banknotes to Luo Chong and said in a dying pleading tone: "I have decided, I will bet hard, but if I bet wrong, I really can¡¯t escape, please use the sword technique of Qianhu Master, the fastest one, don¡¯t let me feel pain I am most afraid of pain. "
Luo Chong looked at the banknote and said with a smile: "There is no need to give it now. When you get it back to Hengyuan County, it will not be too late to give you the money. I am not afraid of you defaulting on the bill."
"If you bet correctly, the money is yours."
Wei Guangliang sniffed, as if he was about to cry: "But if it's wrong and my life is gone, what's the use of keeping these."
"OK OK."
Luo Chong was almost defeated by his weakness. He waved his hand and said, "No matter what happens, I can take you to escape with me. I'm not really tired of living. You think so."
After hearing this, Wei Guangliang immediately beamed: "Yes, yes, yes, this is the safest way."
Dare to be honest, he would feel at ease only if he mentioned his escape plan.
"You might as well change your name to Wei Paopao."
Luo Chong shook his head: "As long as you have the ability to escape."
With confidence in his heart, Wei Paopao's IQ has returned, and only then can he have more associations: "If Qianhu can really quell the chaos, the contribution will be considerable. By then, the relationship between Beijing and Li will be smoothed, and my father can also Can help.¡±
"Okay, I can speak when needed."
Luo ChongbaHe grabbed the bank note and waved it up: "As you can see, I don't know how to be polite at all."
Then he planned to drive him away, but the boy's thoughts had already come to life, and he came over with a shy face: "Qianhu, we are also old friends. Tell me, how much will it cost? Are you willing to share some of the credit with me?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Is it an old relationship?
Luo Chong did not immediately refute it, because he did not care about the so-called merit. He really wanted to make a meritorious deed and send the head of the Qingyuan Kingdom's military marshal to the capital to ensure that it would be famous all over the world and shocked the world.
Besides, it is impossible for one person to monopolize the credit for quelling the rebellion here. From Guangling Guards, to Quang Ninh Province, to the Military Department, a share of the credit will be cut into many pieces and divided up layer by layer for various high-sounding reasons. .
The credit you can take for yourself will be enough if you move up a level. If you have more, it will be useless and a complete waste. Because, as a person with no background, it is impossible for the court to let you advance to two levels in a row.
So, if you can sell some credit in advance, you will make real money, right?
"Don't tell me that there is plenty of money in the small universe. Is it a good idea to have two different things? What we want is spiritual enjoyment.
So, Luo Chong asked him: "How much credit do you want?"
"If you have enough, just move up a level. If you have more, it's useless."
Sure enough, Wei Guangliang said the same thing: "My father is a salt merchant. I want to be transferred to the Canal Salt Department to be promoted to the sixth grade. It can be less obvious, but more directly take care of my father's business."
¡°Well, that¡¯s a great idea!¡±
Luo Chong couldn't help but nod in praise. Going to the Salt Division to take care of his father's business was the next best thing. The key was that being transferred back and forth made it easier to climb up.
"If you have been working as a county magistrate in Hengyuan and want to move up two levels to become a prefecture magistrate, it will be really difficult. I don't know how many people are fighting to the death.
If you go up further and want to be a prefect, let alone that.
But if you jump back and forth between different levels, there are so many tricks you can figure out. At least you can avoid those competitors at the same level who are always watching you and wary of you.
"How much money are you willing to spend?"
At this moment, Luo Chong also looked like a businessman.
"About ten thousand taels."
Wei Guangliang had a simple and honest face: "As for the relationship that Qianhu needs in the capital, my father can also take over it together. We can save some money by doing it together."
Of course Luo Chong knew that it would be no problem for him to add another three thousand to five thousand, but he really didn't have the enjoyment of bargaining. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll do what you said, don't ask for more, just make friends. After all, You are a rare tease."
"Terrifying?"
Wei Guangliang has never heard of this term and does not understand it.
"Interesting meaning."
Luo Chong waved his hand: "Okay, it's settled, you have a share of the credit! Go and rest quickly, I seem to have lost more than ten kilograms in just one night."
Of course it¡¯s impossible, just find a reason to drive him away.
"yes."
Wei Guangliang rubbed his face: "Last night, I really didn't sleep much. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see those scenes of the rebels hanging them from the frying pan. It hurts like hell just thinking about it"
The next few days were relatively peaceful. The so-called army of rebels did not arrive. The outside of the town was desolate. Another wave of refugees passed by. They could not get in without opening the city gate, but they ate up everything that could be eaten outside. , only the gray and cold desolation remained in the field of vision.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Ma Hanzi and the others returned on time. There were fifty people and sixty horses when they left. When they returned, only two people were missing, but the spare horses were full of harvests.
The so-called harvest is, of course, bloody and smelly heads, and there is also a large living person, a woman.
The comfort women they temporarily arrested?
Luo Chong knew, of course not. Even if they did that, they would not dare to let him know, let alone bring it back.
The woman¡¯s head was covered with a black hood, and her hands were tied to the saddle.
Open the city gate and let them in!
"Master Qianhu!"
The forty-eight sergeants fell off their horses in unison. The faces of the new recruits had a somewhat tough look on their faces.
In just five days, a book could be written about what I experienced. It would be strange if there were no changes.
"Lord Qianhu, I carried out the mission for five days and brought back more than 320 heads!"
Ma Hanzi stepped forward to report: "They are all the main force of the Yaotian Army, that is, those who used to be from various mountains.bandit. "
"Very good, the task was exceeded."
Luo Chong nodded: "Let the sergeants have a good rest. You come with me."
"Thousands of households"
Ma Hanzi added later: "We also captured a woman."
"Bring them here together."
Luo Chong waved his hand.
The Qianhu Office can also be said to be a government office, but it is not in the public hall, but in the side hall.
The woman was temporarily tied to a pillar outside. In the hall, Ma Hanzi reported to Luo Chong the results achieved in five days concisely.
As Luo Chong expected, although there were only fifty cavalrymen, because the only group of horse thieves in Guangling was wiped out by Luo Chong in advance, the Yaotian Army was so pitiful that they could not organize a decent group of cavalry to chase Ma Han. Sub them.
The rebels also had dozens of horses, but apart from those used by the leaders, the rest were inferior horses that could not run fast and could not catch up with Ma Hanzi's standard war horses. Instead, they were beaten back and forth for more than a dozen times. In the first guerrilla war, all the bad horses were shot to death.
More than three hundred heads are nothing, and they won¡¯t be a big blow to the Yaotian Army, but they can give the soldiers brought out by Ma Hanzi a great training, and they can almost be tempered from new recruits to junior veterans.
There were two cavalrymen who did not come back. It was not because they were sacrificed, but because they were unlucky. One was shot in the back by a stray arrow, and the other had poor riding skills and fell off his horse and suffered a fracture. Ma Hanzi placed them in a secret cave in the ravine, leaving enough food and various medicines prepared by Luo Chong.
The injuries on their bodies will definitely not kill them, but whether they can recover from their injuries in the ravine and whether they can come back on their own after a while depends on their luck and ability.
In order to complete the mission, Ma Hanzi would not be hindered by the wounded. In addition, he also wanted to test the two of them: At the beginning, I was a savage in the mountains for two months and came back. With you two as companions, I will definitely also!
"Don't say Ma Hanzi is cruel, human life is the lowest in this world, and the humanitarianism on earth will never work.
"How about it, can we take another group of people out for a sneak trip?"
Luo Chong asked gently, "It doesn't matter how many enemies we kill, nor how much we slow down the enemy's approach. What matters to Luo Chong is whether our recruits can be trained."
¡°No problem!¡±
Ma Hanzi chuckled and said: "I was a savage in the mountains for two months last year, and I have come out, so these few days will definitely not matter."
"good."
Luo Chong is not worried that he will be exhausted. After all, he has already cultivated the world's top internal skills and mental methods, and he can no longer be expected to meet ordinary people's standards.
Then he asked: "That woman, what's going on?" r1148
