"Is this... Gao Meng?"
Qi Liang heard it.
His face immediately showed joy, and without any further hesitation, he led his officers and soldiers and rushed over with the guy in hand.
A hundred meters away, you'll be there in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, I saw Gao Meng and his trap.
It's just that there are very few brothers trapped in the camp. Counting Gao Meng, there are only six in total.
But all of them are very brave.
Swinging the ax and hacking randomly, the bandit fell to pieces.
Some were really badly chopped, dead or injured.
Most of them were frightened and pushed to the ground.
Even the big boss was hit by the fallen bandits and pinned underneath.
Qi Liang and others were also infected, and rushed into the battle waving the guy in their hands.
The shouts of killing came and went.
Without the leader as their backbone, the bandits immediately fell into chaos.
They rushed down the mountain one after another.
Just run out and you can escape.
However, there were also shouts of death coming from below.
Not long after Gao Meng left, Zhao Ping led his men to take action.
There were not many bandits left behind at the foot of the mountain. After a round of charging and killing, some died, some were injured, some fled, and the army was completely defeated.
Zhao Ping ignored those who escaped and continued to rush upward with his men.
Facing them were bandits escaping from the mountains.
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
Zhao Ping set up his formation and shouted coldly: "Otherwise, I will wipe out all of you here."
There are pursuers behind and an ambush in front.
Without a leader to give orders, the bandits became leaderless.
In addition, it was dark, so it was not clear how many people were ambushed at the foot of the mountain.
But the camp must have been lost.
In such a situation, how could the bandits have any intention of fighting? They threw their weapons aside one by one, squatted on the ground and chose to surrender.
"Qi Liang, go tie up all these bandits and make up for your mistakes."
Gao Meng suggested with a smile.
"Thank you."
Qi Liang thanked him and led the officers and soldiers to tie up the bandits one by one.
By the time everything was finished, it was already daylight.
Qi Liang reported the results.
Only one of our brothers who was trapped in the camp was slightly injured, and the rest were intact.
More than 60 bandits were killed, more than 100 were captured alive, and more than 100 escaped.
Dozens of people who were captured alive were injured, but less than a hundred people survived intact.
Another complete victory.
Qi Liang looked at Zhao Ping with even more admiration.
It’s really a matter of comparing people to death, and comparing goods with goods.
He led thousands of officers and soldiers to come to Hai County for more than a month, but they did not even wipe out a wave of bandits.
Although it was successful yesterday.
Capture all the bandits alive without any bloodshed.
However, he was disturbed by pirates again, resulting in many casualties in his team, and they were also besieged on the mountain.
And what about sir?
With only thirty-five people, they eliminated two groups of bandits.
Only one person was slightly injured.
The strength of the plan is impressive.
thump!
Qi Liang knelt down towards Zhao Ping.
He said gratefully: "Thank you sir for your life-saving grace. I have nothing to repay."
"From now on, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for my husband, and let him drive me."
"Hahaha."
Zhao Ping laughed loudly and said, "Qi County officials, you don't have to be so polite to me. Get up quickly. We have to clear out the pirates."
"Kill out the pirates?"
Qi Liang was stunned, shook his head hurriedly to dissuade him: "Sir, you must not do it."
"The pirates are extremely vicious..."
"Am I still cruel?"
Before Qi Liang could finish speaking, Gao Meng waved the bloody ax in his hand and said coldly: "If the pirates can't touch me, I'll kill them all if they do."
"Since sir has decided, I will follow him."
Qi Liang's courage was also mobilized, and he said coldly: "No, it's all the fault of these damn pirates."
"Originally, I had tied up all those bandits, but they were released by the pirates and killed many of my men. This revenge must be avenged."
"You're not going."
However, Zhao Ping shook his head.
"ah?"
Qi Liang was stunned and wondered: "Sir, although my men have some wounded, do they still have some men who can fight?"
"Bring them with you. If we encounter pirates, we will have a greater chance of winning."
"If the pirates don't gather together, it won't make much sense to lead more people."
Zhao Ping explained: "On the contrary, you have a greater purpose."
"what is the usage?"
Qi Liang really couldn't figure it out.
Isn’t eradicating pirates the biggest task right now?
"Sue against the magistrate of Linhai County."
Zhao Ping said.
"ah?"
Qi Liang was confused again, "It's so good, why are we suing the county magistrate?"
"They didn't offend us?"
"Why didn't you offend me?"
Zhao Ping said angrily: "First of all, there are bandits in Linhai County."
"Your Majesty has failed to pass the decree and requires all counties to make every effort to suppress the bandits. The bandits must be eliminated at all costs."
"But how did Linhai County do it?"
"Even if you come here to help, they are still indifferent."
"It even feels like sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight."
"If after you came here, they cooperated with you to suppress the bandits and united their forces, wouldn't those two groups of bandits have been wiped out long ago?"
"Will there be another defeat like this in the future?"
"Secondly, pirates are a taboo of the Dawei Dynasty. Whenever they appear, the government must use all their strength to exterminate them."
"But look at Linhai County today."
"The pirates are leading the county magistrate and county officials by the nose, just like herding cattle."
"To put it lightly, the county magistrate and county officials are incompetent."
"To be more serious, it may be that they have colluded long ago and are working together."
"With the help of the appearance of pirates, they wantonly oppress the people and line their own pockets."
"Finally, no matter what you say, you are still a county official in Yun'an County, and you are an official."
"Besieged by bandits in Linhai County, the county magistrate and officials remained indifferent and did not think about how to rescue them. What use were they?"
"These three points will definitely bring down the county magistrate of Linhai County."
Forehead!
Qi Liang was stunned when he heard this.
It’s true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.
The magistrate of Linhai County is so good...hey, what a piece of shit.
Aren't I cleaning out the bandits in Linhai County?
Are you helping him?
Fortunately for him, he was sitting in the county magistrate's house, enjoying the service of his lovely wife and concubine.
It's really not a thing.
Should sue.
Can you just sue and win?
What if you lose?
Moreover, the largest official in Linhai County is the county magistrate. If you sue the county magistrate yourself, who should you turn to?
Zhao Ping also saw Qi Liang's doubts and said with a smile: "You are surrounded by bandits. If the news reaches Xiping Village, it will definitely reach the ears of Xu Tianhua, the magistrate of Yun'an County, and it will also reach the magistrate of Donghai County." In Peng Yue’s ears.”
"And I have already arrived in Linhai County. In addition, there are pirates here in Linhai County. I believe the two of them will come here soon."
"You just have to wait."
"Once you see the Sheriff, immediately cry and complain."
"Tell yourself how miserable you are. It's best to get a few wounds on your body. It doesn't matter if it's fake. As long as it's shocking and can arouse Peng Yue's pity."
Zhao Ping explained some more details before resting in the camp.
After a busy night, I didn't even sleep, so I was really sleepy.
Not long after he lay down, he started snoring.
Li Hu was taking a nap outside the camp, while Gao Meng led others to keep watch.
Just after noon, before anyone woke up, Xu Tianhua came over with his people.
"Magistrate Xu, I am suffering."
As soon as they met, Qi Liang knelt down and burst into tears.
"You sent me to suppress the bandits in Linhai County, but no one from Linhai County received me, and they didn't send anyone to help me."
"Look at me, how have I been beaten?"
"My face is swollen."
Qi Liang pointed at his face, which was indeed swollen.
There are also finger prints on it.
"What?"
Xu Tianhua glared and scolded sternly, "Is this how Xu Kai, a bastard, becomes an official?"
"Where is he? I'm going to skin him right now."
It worked.
Qi Liang's eyes lit up, he quickly got up and said with a playful smile: "County Magistrate Xu, let's wait for a while."
"When the county magistrate arrives, let's go together to skin the county magistrate Xu Kai."
Um?
Xu Tianhua pointed at Qi Liang with an expression of disbelief, "You, you, why do you seem to be fine?"
