"According to the prince's instructions, we set a trap..."
Zhang Changde told the story of how he lured the Black Mountain bandits into the village, how he killed Yu Yan, and defeated the Black Mountain bandits.
"My lord, you really have a good plan!"
Zhang Changde couldn't help but sigh.
good.
Tonight's series of strategies to deal with the enemy were all planned by Ji Lie.
He first ordered people to dig deep pits and traps, and then deliberately opened the gate of Zhuangzi to lure the Black Mountain bandits over.
"It's just a Black Mountain bandit, why do you care?"
Ji Lie smiled nonchalantly.
Although these Black Mountain thieves all kill without blinking an eye, in the final analysis, they are just bandits without military discipline.
It's okay to bully ordinary people, but how can they be opponents against strictly trained guards?
If Ji Lie tries another little trick, won't it be a piece of cake to win over them?
Seeing Ji Lie's calm expression, Zhang Changde and Xiu'er felt ashamed, and at the same time, they admired Ji Lie even more!
In order to catch all the Black Mountain bandits, Ji Lie ordered Zhang Changde to ambush a small group of men at the entrance of Zhuangzi before taking action.
When the shouts of killing rang out in the village, the ambush soldiers immediately took action, took back the gate of the village, and used a move to close the door and beat the dog!
At present, most of the Black Mountain bandits have either been killed or surrendered.
The remaining bandits could not escape and could only hide in the houses in the village.
The palace guards are leading the guards to search from house to house.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Ji Lie thought for a while and whispered to Zhang Changde.
When Zhang Changde heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sure, my subordinates will go now!"
After he left, Ji Lie glanced at the still dark night outside the window, stretched out,
"It's still early, Xiu'er should go in with Gu to rest."
…
Gongsunhe was in a good mood and had a good appetite. He ate two bowls of porridge for the first time.
As soon as he put down the bowl, he saw Gongsun Qing rushing in.
"Dad, let's go quickly!"
Gongsun Qing wished he could see Ji Lie being hacked to death!
"What's the rush? Just wait!"
Gongsunhe wiped his mouth slowly and said with a smile,
"We must leave enough time for Yu Yan."
Every time night falls, the four gates of Youzhou City will be closed tightly.
The person responsible for guarding the city wall at night was Gongsunhe's trusted general.
Gongsun He had specifically told him that without his own orders, no one was allowed to open the city gate at night if he came for help. The purpose was to prevent Ji Lie from escaping!
Seeing that it was almost time, Gongsunhe wiped his mouth and stood up.
He took Gongsun Qing to the Yamen first and ordered all the Zaoyi police officers.
Then he called for the city gate to be opened and headed straight out of the city.
When he approached Ji Lie's Zhuangzi, Gongsunhe put on a furious look and shouted,
"I am Gongsun He, the Prime Minister of You Kingdom. Don't let the Black Mountain bandits act so arrogantly!"
However, when they arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, they were stunned.
It was completely different from what Gongsunhe and his son imagined, where Zhuangzi was burned to ashes and corpses were scattered all over the ground.
I saw that Zhuangzi was in good order inside and outside, and there was no trace of being visited by thieves and bandits!
If they hadn't seen the refugees recruited by Ji Lie coming in and out, carrying out corpses one by one, Gongsunhe and his son would have even thought that Yu Yan, the bastard, had disobeyed the order!
At this moment, Ji Lie led people out of the village.
Seeing him safe and sound, both Gongsunhe and his son were stunned.
what is happening?
"I'm still wondering why there were crows crows early this morning. I didn't expect the Prime Minister to be here. This is really unlucky!"
Ji Lie greeted Gongsunhe with a smile.
Gongsunhe's face darkened, he suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile,
"Your Majesty is really good at telling jokes!"
"Xiaoguan just received news that Black Mountain bandits attacked the village outside the city, so he specially brought people to support."
"So that's it!"
Ji Lie showed an expression of sudden realization and said with some regret,
"It's just a pity that Guocheng's trip was in vain!"
"What does the prince mean by this?"
Gongsunhe said tentatively.
"The Prime Minister does not know something. The Black Mountain bandits don't know whether to live or die. They came to attack the prince last night."
Laifu on the side said proudly,
"However, this move was overestimating one's own capabilities. They were all caught in one fell swoop by the prince!"
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun He, Gongsun Qing and all the detectives were all shocked!
You must know that the Black Mountain bandits have been in the dark land for so many years, and they have stained the blood of many people!
Its reputation is so ferocious that it can even stop a child from crying at night!
However, today, Ji Lie caught everyone in one fell swoop. How could this matter sound like something out of the blue?
Seeing their disbelief, Ji Lie smiled lightly and said,
"Bring up the head of Yu Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Bandits!"
Laifu left quickly, and after a moment, he came back with a bloody head in his hand!
"It's indeed Yu Yan!"
"Oh my God, Yu Yan is really dead!"
As the famous leader of the Black Mountain bandits, Yu Yan's portrait also exists in the government.
As soon as they saw his head, everyone was in an uproar!
The expressions of Gongsunhe and his son also changed drastically, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak at all!
The private soldiers that their Gongsun family had painstakingly cultivated were just gone?
Just when everyone was surprised that the Black Bandits were destroyed, they heard the sound of galloping horse hooves.
They looked up and saw a horse team galloping from a distance.
Only when he got closer did Gongsun He recognize that the leader was Zhang Changde.
After Zhang Changde got off his horse, he ignored Gongsun He and saluted Ji Lie directly.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates fortunately lived up to their orders and successfully found the Black Mountain bandit's lair."
"The thieves in the bandits' lair were either killed or captured, and their supplies were also seized!"
Hearing this, Gongsunhe shivered and almost fainted!
He had previously hoarded a large amount of supplies in the Black Mountain bandit's lair.
I originally wanted to prepare it for emergencies, but I didn’t expect that it would be an advantage for Ji Lie!
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Zhang!"
Ji Lie praised Zhang Changde, glanced at Gongsun He, and said with a smile,
"How come the Prime Minister Guo didn't seem very happy when he heard that the Black Mountain bandits were wiped out!"
Gongsun He forced himself to hold himself up and squeezed out a few words through his teeth,
"Happy, why aren't you happy?"
Seeing Yu Yan's head in Laifu's hand, Gongsunhe was furious.
Leading hundreds of ruthless bandits, they couldn't even capture the small farmyard guarded by three hundred refugees.
What a waste. Open the door for a waste. The waste is home!
"Have you seen it! This is the fate of being a bandit! Even my own father must die! He will deserve it! Sooner or later!!"
Gongsun He grabbed Yu Yan's head and smashed it on the ground to show that he was incompatible with the Black Mountain bandits!
Seeing this situation, Ji Lie and Zhang Changde looked at each other and smiled.
