"Be alert!" Wang Yuncheng, who was walking in front, shouted.
The whole convoy stopped, and the gunmen in the front row began to load the gunpowder lead and lit the match.
The guards guarded Liu Heng in the middle.
Liu Heng said to Ma Yunjiu: "Take the people from the cavalry team and go to the back of the motorcade. Don't let the people in Panjiazhai get into chaos. You are allowed to use force to suppress them if necessary."
"But the boss, you are here..."
Ma Yunjiu looked worried. With the cavalry here, if they really encountered any danger, they would have a chance to protect Liu Heng and escape.
Liu Heng shook his head and said: "Don't worry about me. I have a guard here. You lead the cavalry to guard the people in Panjiazhai and don't let them get into chaos and attack our soldiers."
"Yes." Ma Yunjiu pulled the reins to turn the horse's head and shouted at the same time, "People from the cavalry team, follow me."
Crash... More than twenty horses turned their heads at the same time and retreated to the back of the convoy to protect the people in Panjiazhai.
Pan Datou looked at Ma Yunjiu nervously and asked, "Did something happen up front?"
"It's nothing, just some officers and soldiers came." Ma Yunjiu said calmly.
"What? The officers and soldiers!" Pan Datou exclaimed, then covered his mouth and whispered, "What does Mr. Liu mean? He won't hand us over to the officers and soldiers, will he?"
He was worried about the fate of himself and others in Panjiazhai.
Ma Yunjiu said on horseback: "Don't worry, since Boss Liu promised to take you back to Lingqiu, he will naturally not break his promise. What you have to do now is to watch over the people who live in Panjiazhai and not cause chaos."
"Don't worry, Chief Ma. As long as I'm here, there won't be any chaos in Panjiazhai." Pan Datou assured, patting his chest.
At this time, he had no choice but to believe that Liu Heng would not hand them over to the army.
Pan Datou came forward and brought some young and strong men from Panjiazhai with him, and quickly controlled the emotions of everyone in Panjiazhai.
As the gunner captain, Zheng Chao was in charge of several gun crews. As soon as the sound of alert sounded, he immediately led several gun crews to take out several squatting cannons from the cart, lined them up, and loaded them with gunpowder and iron. beads.
If the Folan cannon was not too heavy and could not be taken off the cart in time, the two Folan cannons would also have been moved onto the vehicle.
The officers and soldiers were still more than 200 steps away from the convoy and stopped on their own initiative.
At this time, Zheng Tie beside Liu Heng said in a low voice: "The boss is Lao Wu."
The officers and soldiers rode toward Lao Wu towards the convoy, with a general following beside him.
"Dongzhu Liu!" There was still some distance between them, and Liu Heng, who was in the motorcade, cupped his fist and raised his hand.
"It turns out to be Mr. Li." Liu Heng saw the person clearly and rode to the front of the convoy.
Several of the riders who were guarding him followed him on horseback.
Li Huaixin said with a smile: "Dr. Liu, as soon as I received the news, I immediately brought people to Daliang Mountain. Isn't it too late?"
"It's not too late." Liu Heng responded with a smile, and then said to the people behind him, "Pull up the cart with the bandits' heads."
Zhao Wu, who was following him, rode to the rear of the convoy.
"Drive the cart to the front of the convoy," he said to the driver of one of the four-wheeled carts.
The coachman responded, withdrew from the convoy, drove the cart to the front of the convoy, and parked on the side of the road.
"This is……"
As the four-wheeled cart approached, Li Huaixin smelled a smell of blood and had a suspicion in his mind.
Liu Heng pointed to the cart and said with a smile: "The cart is filled with the heads of bandits from Daliang Mountain."
"Human head?" Li Huaixin's eyes lit up, he jumped off the horse and took a few steps to the side of the cart.
He opened up the straw mat on the four-wheeled cart, and what he saw were human heads piled up one after another, filling most of the car. The strong smell of blood made even a military general like him feel nauseous when he smelled it. .
"This..." Li Huaixin took two steps back, a little further away from the car, and said in surprise, "So many heads?"
Liu Heng smiled and said: "All the bandit heads in Daliang Mountain are here, more than five hundred in total. The top few heads are the heads of several bandit leaders from Daliang Mountain."
Hiss... Li Huaixin took a breath of air.
I knew before that the force of Hutou Village was strong enough, but I didn't expect that even the bandits of Daliang Mountain, who had been helpless by the East Road official army for many years, were no match for Hutou Village.
The main camp soldiers on the east road are not the same soldiers as the Lingqiu garrison camp. They are already real frontier troops.
"No one alive?" Li Huaixin glanced into the motorcade as he spoke.
In the big car of the motorcade, he saw old people, children, and even women. They were all dressed in tatters and had thin and yellow faces.
"No, kill them all." Liu Heng shook his head slightly.
"Well done, these bandits are causing trouble to the place and they will never be redeemed." Li Huaixin agreed.
Seeing that Liu Heng was unwilling to say more, he wouldn't bother asking further questions.
Anyway, with this achievement, although he will not be promoted, the position of East Road General is considered secure. Others have no reason to criticize him, who was promoted from the local garrison to the general. Otherwise, he will not be offended, but They are those generals who were transferred away from the east road.
The bandits in the Daliang Mountains who had been helpless by the previous generals were wiped out by him, a newly appointed general, which is enough to illustrate his ability.
Liu Heng clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Li for wiping out the bandits in Daliang Mountain and killing the bandit leader. With this contribution, you must have shown your face in front of the governor and the commander-in-chief. You will be promoted and rich in the future."
"Haha." Li Huaixin smiled proudly, then waved his hand and said humbly, "I am satisfied that I can secure the position of General of the East Road. As for getting promoted and making a fortune, I still need to rely on Dongzhu Liu."
Liu Heng smiled and said: "Master Li, you are too polite."
Li Huaixin said seriously: "I'm not being polite. I told the truth. Without Dongzhu Liu's money, even if I succeeded in suppressing the bandits, I wouldn't be able to serve as a general. Therefore, I will bear in mind Dongzhu Liu's kindness."
He knew very well that merit was not as important as money and connections. Such an important position as General of the East Road was always held by the generals' children. This time he was able to take the position of general only because Liu Heng paid 10,000 taels. Money is given to him, otherwise it will not be his turn to be the general.
"My lord, these words are really embarrassing to the common people." Liu Heng bowed his lower body slightly and said, "Since your lord has a share in the iron farm, then we are our own people, and you don't have to worry about a little money."
"Donzhu Liu is right, we are our own people." Li Huaixin smiled and nodded.
The two of them knew in their hearts that as long as the Dongshan Iron Station was still there and Liu Heng was still the president of the Dongshan Chamber of Commerce, their relationship would not change and would remain so.
Liu Heng said: "The common people ask the driver to drive the car and take the head back with you. When you get there, you can ask the driver to go back to Lingqiu on his own."
Li Huaixin nodded, and then whispered: "Dr. Liu, have you offended anyone recently?"
"Offend someone!" Liu Heng frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No! If you really want to say yes, you can only offend the Xu family. You know this, Mr. Li."
"It's not the Xu family." Li Huaixin shook his head and said, "Not long ago, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li came to Commander Ma and said that someone was training troops in Lingqiu and was planning to do something evil. He wanted Commander-in-Chief to send troops to Lingqiu. Fortunately, Commander Ma and Deputy Commander-in-Chief There was disagreement between the soldiers, so the matter was temporarily suppressed."
"Is this happening?" Liu Heng was surprised.
There was someone in Lingqiu who was training troops and building artillery, and when he heard it, he knew it was him.
