"Second Master, should we go back to the mountain?" Hao Santong asked after seeing that he had won the battle.
"Ah? We just came out, why are we leaving?"
Hao Santong said seriously: "Second Master, you have just attacked the Yang family's tribe. These escaped people will definitely report to the wealthy clan. Soon, the wealthy clan will send people to surround them. We have just gone through a big battle and cannot resist at all... "
"The best thing is to hide back in the mountains before they arrive, relying on the steep mountains to defeat the enemy's attack."
Geng Bin shook his head and said proudly: "What are you afraid of? They are just some wealthy families. I will destroy them now!"
"Second Master, don't be impatient!"
Geng Binhu glared over and scolded: "Do you have the final say in this cottage, or do I?"
Hao Santong was startled and immediately said: "It's you, you have the final say!"
"That's it!" Geng Bin stood up proudly, looked at the bandits around him, and said: "The death of the wealthy family in Longxi County starts from today... From now on, the old will have support, the young will have education, and everyone will equality!"
"yes!"
"You only need to bring enough food and grass for three days, and the rest will be distributed to the elderly and children in the nearby villages. As well as the wounded soldiers in the army, bring enough food, grass, gold and silver to treat their injuries on your own! The rest of you, follow me!"
"yes!"
Faced with the gradual siege of the wealthy family, Geng Bin chose to take the initiative. He first sent people to inquire about the landowners and gentry nearby, and then led his army to directly attack them, seize their food and grass, and then distribute it to the surrounding people.
Of course, there were some hiccups.
These thieves were not very restrained. After capturing the landowner's family named Gao, some scoundrels actually abducted the landowner's concubine into the house and destroyed her.
When Geng Bin heard about it, he was furious and immediately ordered his subordinates to lead the way to see the situation.
When he walked into the landlord's inner house, he saw a few arrogant scoundrels dragging out the landlord's concubine and taking turns playing with her in the yard.
When these people saw Geng Bin, they immediately panicked and hurriedly said: "Second Master, please go first."
"Yes, yes, second master, you see, this concubine is so beautiful, she should be dedicated to you first."
Geng Bin looked ugly. He squinted at the timid concubine, and then immediately ordered: "Beat these scoundrels to death in public, and then hang them on the tree at the door as a warning to others!"
Everyone was stunned. It was just raping a concubine. What's the big deal?
Hao Santong hurriedly stopped him and said: "Second Master, please calm down first. These brothers have been through life and death, but they have made great contributions!"
Geng Bin looked disdainful: "Ah, raping women and robbing food are simply unpardonable crimes!"
"We've always been like this!"
Geng Bin said solemnly: "I used to be a bandit, but today I am a soldier! If you are not punished for this, what is the difference between you and those beasts from the wealthy clan? The rules must start one day, and they must be established today!"
Hao Santong wanted to say something else, but Geng Bin's face was stern and he held an iron whip in his hand and swung it away without hesitation.
These scoundrels were unarmed and caught off guard. How could they be Geng Bin's opponents? Under Geng Bin's iron whip, he was beaten to death on the spot bloody in the blink of an eye!
Everyone's jaws dropped in shock!
"Carry these four people out to show the public. This is what you will get if you bully the people!"
Geng Bin spoke seriously and said sincerely: "Brothers, we are all born from poor people, so why bother the poor people? Those wealthy families are doing evil, are we worse than them?"
"I, Lao Geng, am a rough man and don't know how to talk about big principles. But I tell you, if anyone dares to lay a finger on the common people, I will kill him, do you understand?!"
Geng Bin's behavior still left a deep impression on these bandits. They never expected that Geng Bin would enforce military law without mercy.
As a result, the military discipline of the entire army was shaken, and even the people around them felt it. This time the bandits were different from usual. Not only did they not do any harm to the people, they even distributed food to them...
The sun is really coming out in the west!
After Yang He's defeat, the wealthy clan also quickly learned of Geng Bin's movements, and they united together to prepare to encircle and suppress this bandit.
At this time, Jiang Tuo and a group of people came to the nearest landlord's mansion, where only broken walls and a few corpses were left.
"I'm really heartbroken. Those thieves are so courageous, so arrogant! Damn it, do you still take our wealthy family seriously? In his opinion, our wealthy family is just decoration and shit? "
"Ahem!" Patriarch Bai shook his head and advised: "Sir, don't be too sad. These bandits don't have the confidence to confront us head-on, so they use this method of harassment..."
Patriarch Bai is still very insightful. He analyzed it to the point: "If they had relied on Jitou Mountain, they might have been able to persist for a while. But now that they are taking the initiative, it will only cause more losses, and they will perish sooner or later!" "
Jiang Tuo took Patriarch Bai's hand and said kindly: "With Patriarch Bai's words, I feel relieved!"
Chief Bai said: "I will send out scouts to contact all the landowners and gentry in Longxi County. As long as I find the whereabouts of these bandits, I will continue to bite them. They have no logistical supplies and cannot last long."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Chief Bai!"
Patriarch Bai is still very confident. No matter how cunning this gang of thieves is, they can't escape the hands of the hunter!
But to Chief Bai's surprise, the thousands of people in Kunzhai could always avoid his arrangements accurately, and their whereabouts were also erratic. They always appeared and attacked the lone landlords and gentry.
Patriarch Bai's temper was exhausted little by little. He frowned and looked at the map in front of him. It was now painted in a mess, like a mess. There was no way to predict the bandit's next move.
He murmured to himself: "Is this man...could he be a military genius who has never been born before? He predicted my prediction, so he can be so hidden?"
at the same time.
"Haha, I just said that these powerful tribes are useless. We are all here, and they don't even react at all."
Geng Bin looked disdainful.
Hao Santong said hesitantly: "Second Master, do you think we ran too far and went deep alone..."
"Where are we? Isn't it near Longxi?"
Geng Bin asked, everyone, you look at me, I look at you. Immediately, a scout left, and after a while he found an old farmer and brought him to him.
Geng Bin showed what he thought was a gentle smile and asked: "My father-in-law, where are we now? Which county below Longxi County are we?"
The old farmer was stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are not in Longxi County now..."
"Oh? Then where are we now?"
"This is Wuwei!"
Geng Bin laughed and asked again: "How far is our army from Longxi County?"
The old farmer frowned and thought for a long time before he said: "Probably from Longxi County to Chang'an."
Geng Bin shook his head and said to Hao Santong: "Then we seem to have gone a little deeper."
No wonder, every one of the landlords and gentry he met these days looked at him with horror. It turns out that he has already reached Wuwei...so far away from Longxi!
Hao Santong almost burst into tears. Not only had the second-in-command provoked all the wealthy families in Longxi County, but now he wanted to kill all the wealthy families in Liangzhou... He was not born to deal with the wealthy families, right?
"Second Master, let's evacuate quickly, shall we?"
"Yes, you are right." Geng Bin nodded, pointed to the road ahead and asked, "If we keep going in this direction, how long will it take to get back to Longxi County?"
The old farmer sighed and said, "Sir, if you keep walking on this road, you will pass by Yueshi and then enter the Western Region. I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Longxi County in this life... You are going the wrong way!"
"I see!"
Geng Bin didn't take it seriously. He felt that the task given to him by Jiang Tuo was to wipe out as many wealthy families as possible... How well he has accomplished it now. Not only did he wipe out the wealthy families in Longxi County, but also those in other areas of Liangzhou. Many wealthy families were also wiped out conveniently.
Hao Santong was very melancholy. He felt that Geng Bin, a stupid big man, was just fooling around. What's the use of shooting him in another place?
In the end, they were regarded as enemies by the entire wealthy clan in Liangzhou. So can they still hang out in Liangzhou?
There are enemies everywhere, which is scary to think about.
"Second Master, we can't do this anymore. The more territory you gain, the louder your reputation... and the more dangerous you are. Now you should find a way to keep a low profile. This is the long-term solution."
Geng Bin laughed and didn't take it to heart at all.
