As a veteran, Governor He naturally knew what Li Yunze meant.
He clapped his hands, and the butler came over holding a wooden box.
The box was placed on the table. When opened, it was filled with silver coins.
"Here are three hundred taels." Governor He raised his chin, "I would also like to ask the general to take a trip to Shaohua Mountain."
After drinking the wine slowly, Li Yunze glanced at the silver in the wooden box and raised his hand to close the lid.
Seeing this scene, Governor He was stunned, "What does this mean?"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Li Yunze said slowly, "I am going to the front line to fight against Xixia in the name of the Privy Council. I have no time to suppress bandits here. If the trip is delayed, I will be prosecuted by the military law. I must congratulate you." Will you cry out for me?"
They are all old-timers, and as soon as they heard this excuse, they understood that this was too little.
Bandanas love money. After all, they lose their income after begging for bones, so they take money very seriously.
Seeing that Li Yunze was not satisfied with three hundred taels, Taishou He looked dissatisfied, snorted and picked up the wine glass to drink.
The steward on the side advised him, "General, three hundred taels is quite a lot. It is enough to buy hundreds of acres of good land. Don't be too greedy."
"joke."
Li Yunze didn't give any face at all, and placed the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, "I'm not begging you, you are begging me to do something!"
The relationship between supply and demand is very important. If you ask me to do something, you must show the corresponding attitude and benefits. Otherwise, why should I help you?
After hearing this, Governor He, who already felt that he was being disrespected, simply stood up and walked away.
Li Yunze looked at his leaving figure with a smile, picked up the jug and poured wine, "It's quite crazy when death is imminent."
The next day, Prefect He's steward entered the military camp and discussed the price privately with Li Yunze, finally agreeing on an appearance fee of three thousand taels.
This is just the money that Taishou He gave personally. The three thousand taels of silver rewarded by several heroes on Shaohua Mountain will be given to them after the success, and the wealth on the mountain will also belong to Li Yunze.
Li Yunze naturally doesn't care about a mere three thousand taels, he cares more about the heroes on Shaohua Mountain.
Except for Shi Jin, he did not intend to keep any of the heroes on Shaohua Mountain.
The reason why Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun went to Shaohua Mountain was because they were "forced by lawsuits".
In other words, he is an out-and-out bandit who is burdened with crimes.
Moreover, after going up the mountain, he went around robbing homes and houses, and he committed all kinds of evil.
Li Yunze never thought about collecting one hundred and eight stars. Of course, such bandits must be dealt with.
He is honest and trustworthy, and he will definitely do things since he took the money.
The soldiers and horses under his command left the camp and headed straight for Shaohua Mountain.
There are only five to seven hundred minions on Shaohua Mountain, so they are not considered a big force.
The main reason why it was difficult to capture for a long time is that the terrain here is difficult and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Although it is not as steep as a road in Huashan, the road up the mountain can only be used by three or five people at most.
If there are piles of rolling stones and logs, no matter how many people come up the mountain, it will be a dead end.
The best way to deal with this kind of cottage is to besiege it for a long time, cut off food, water, salt, oil, cloth... cut off all resources, surround it on the mountain and let it collapse on its own.
After all, people need all kinds of materials to survive, and there is basically nothing on the bare mountains except trees and animals. ...Li Yunze understands the art of war, so he naturally knows that this is the best choice.
However, under the current situation, it is impossible to maintain a long-term siege, so the only way to defeat the enemy is to use surprise troops.
After blocking the passages up and down Shaohua Mountain, Li Yunze arranged for Yang Zhi to command troops and horses at the foot of the mountain to besiege.
He himself paid to recruit local hunters and guides, and then selected more than a hundred elite soldiers from the army. He made an appointment with Yang Zhi on a time and a fire signal, and took the mountaineering equipment to go around the back of the mountain to climb.
The so-called battle was uneventful.
The hunters, who were familiar with the local geographical environment, acted as guides to guide Li Yunze and others around the side of the mountain village where the view was narrow and difficult to observe, and then everyone climbed up the rock.
The people on Shaohua Mountain are all bandits and minions, and their fighting power and will to fight are extremely weak.
When patrolling at night, there is often no one around, so I go out to have a drink.
Li Yunze led the team up the mountain easily. He first opened up the main road up the mountain, set fire to the signal, and led Yang Zhi to climb the mountain with the main force.
Then the soldiers and horses who went up the mountain easily broke into the stronghold and defeated all the bandits in a fight.
After learning the news, Shi Jin led several brothers to launch a counterattack, but was knocked down and tied up by Li Yunze himself.
After daybreak, the customary cross-examination and reporting began.
"Name, place of origin, when did you go up the mountain, what did you do before you went up the mountain, have you done any evil since you went up the mountain..."
Asked over and over again, reviewed over and over again.
Bandits have never encountered this kind of torture, and many who want to get through it will be found out soon.
After that, there are merits for exposing, and rewards for reporting.
The bandits, who had a psychological breakdown, immediately started biting each other.
Anyway, when we were drinking and having fun together, we dared to brag about all the past events.
At this time, stimulated by the desire to survive, not to mention the evil things said by his friends, he could even remember how old he was when he wet the bed.
After checking the belongings on the cottage, Li Yunze carried Shi Jin into the house alone.
"Dog officer!" Shi Jin, who was tied up, shouted, "If you want to kill him, kill him. If he frowns, he is not a hero!"
"hero?"
Li Yunze smiled, "Do you know what a hero is? You don't."
He tilted his head towards the door and shouted, "Bring the things in."
Several sergeants pushed open the door and entered, holding trays in their hands, and on the tray were three heads.
"brother?!"
When Shi Jin saw the three heads, he roared excitedly.
The white-flowered snake Yang Chun, the divine machine strategist Zhu Wu, and the jumping tiger Chen Da.
These three people were burdened with heavy blood debts, and they were directly executed without interrogation.
Li Yunze waved his hand, and the sergeants retreated with the trays in hand.
"Dog officer! Dog officer!" Shi Jin, whose eyes were splitting from his eyes, roared angrily, "Kill my brother, kill my brother!"
"Well, I was the one who killed them." Li Yunze readily admitted, "They have heavy blood debts and the lives of countless people on their hands. After crossing the Naihe Bridge and entering the underworld, those wronged souls will seek revenge on them."
"Kill me!" Shi Jin roared repeatedly, "Kill me quickly."
Li Yunze smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you know Luda?"
"Huh?" Shi Jin was stunned. "Lu Da..."... "Well, Master Lu, the monk Lu Zhishen. Together with you, Lu Zhishen destroyed Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi in the Crock Temple."
Shi Jin looked at him doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
"Master Lu and I are close friends." Li Yunze raised his head and said, "Master Lu told me about you."
"What?" Shi Jin was furious when he heard this, "Since you are Master Lu's friend, why do you want to attack my Shaohua Mountain and kill my good brother!"
"I am an officer and soldier." Li Yunze tapped his armor and stomach, and then tapped Shi Jin, "You are a bandit. It is natural for officers and soldiers to suppress bandits. You are robbing families and committing all kinds of crimes, so why can't you attack?"
"I have never killed good people." Shi Jin finally looked away, "I admit that I have done evil, but I have never hurt anyone's life."
Li Yunze smiled, "You are still alive to talk to me now because there is no blood on your hands. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime is difficult to forgive. I will remember you with eighty sticks, and let him execute you when you see Master Lu."
"...You, you want to let me go?"
"Well, seeing that you can still be saved, I'll give you a chance." Li Yunze waved and said, "Come over here. I heard that you have agreed to the request of painter Wang Yi to rescue his daughter who was snatched away by Prefect He?"
The next day the army went down the mountain. Before going down the mountain, in front of all the gangsters whose hands were not stained with blood, they dealt with all the bandits who were full of crimes.
Then a fire was lit on Shaohua Mountain and the village was completely burned to the ground.
After taking Shi Jin and others back to Huazhou and imprisoning them all in cells, Li Yunze went to Governor He to ask for the rewards offered by everyone in Shaohua Mountain.
"The governor is not here."
The people from the Yamen responded coldly.
"Ha~~~" You don't need to ask too much to know that this is an attempt to renege on the debt, and he is worthy of being a turban.
Li Yunze was furious and made a noise at the yamen gate for a while before leaving angrily.
"This man's military situation is urgent and he will not stay in Huazhou for long." In the Yamen, Prefect He drank tea leisurely and contentedly. "When he goes to the battlefield, it is still unclear whether he can come back alive."
"What your husband said is absolutely true." The butler responded with a smile, "It's just a general, so what if he finds a way to file a lawsuit."
Governor He waved his hand casually, "Don't mention him anymore. The prisoners in the prison have taken note of him and will deal with him after interrogation on another day."
"yes."
"Also, remember to send the reward money to my house."
"yes."
Li Yunze left in anger, and immediately set off with his troops and horses and headed straight for Jingzhao.
Unexpectedly, that night, the Shaohua Mountain thief Shi Jin actually escaped while the guards were unprepared.
This man rescued more than a hundred minions, and before escaping, he took advantage of the situation and broke into Governor He's house, beheaded him with a knife, and took away one of Governor He's concubines. Then the thieves left the city and disappeared without a trace.
When the news came out, there was an uproar in the surrounding areas.
Many people expressed regret after learning about this incident. If it hadn't been for the stingy reward given by Governor He, then Dongping Mansion would not have suffered such a disaster if the grain embargo army was still there.
Shi Jin and his party dressed up in disguise, dispersed and set off across Tuzhou and headed straight for Shuibo Liangshan.
On the way, Shi Jin took Wang Yi's daughter away and walked all the way to hand her over to Wang Yi, which was regarded as fulfilling his promise.
Afterwards, he returned to Dongping Mansion and found Master Lu.
He handed Li Yunze's letter to Master Lu. After reading the letter, Lu Zhishen immediately laughed, "Good brother, get down."
Shi Jin, who had been beaten eighty times with a stick, was carried to Liangshan for treatment.
This matter was kept secret, but Li Yunze, after responding to the government's documents regarding matters related to Prefect He of Huazhou, had already arrived at Jingzhao Mansion with his troops.
Chang'an, Jingzhao Prefecture, was once the greatest city in the world and the brightest pearl in the prosperous times of Han and Tang Dynasties.
Looking at the huge Chang'an City in front of him, Li Yunze had a thought in his mind.
'The majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties fascinates people. '
