Outside the Dragon King Temple, Xu Wen looked at the sunset on the horizon with his hands behind his hands, looking thoughtful. There were several guards standing next to him, all with serious expressions.
He Ning arrived with people. He stepped forward and crossed his arms: "Following the command, all five leaders have arrived!"
Xu Wen turned around and looked at the five people. His expression remained unchanged as he asked, "When you came, did He Tongzhi ask you to hide your whereabouts?"
A tall leader stepped forward and said: "Go back to the commander, I told you. We did a bad job in this matter. We only looked at the remoteness of the town, so we drank and ate meat in the town's tavern. But don't worry, the commander, we all Those who give money will never do anything to buy or sell by force!"
Xu Wen said coldly: "I asked you to be robbers, not businessmen. Whether you buy or sell by force is none of my business! Since He Tongzhi has explained it, you must be careful to hide your whereabouts when you arrive in Tuanfeng Town, but you don't Do as you are told. What is this called? This is called violating military orders! When doing things in the army, anyone who violates military orders will be executed!"
As soon as the word "Zhan" fell to the ground, the guard beside him drew his sword, strode forward, and chopped off the leader's head with one blow.
Looking at the heads rolling on the ground, Xu Wen raised his head and looked at the other four people.
The four of them were heartbroken. Some closed their eyes, some knelt on the ground, and some looked at He Ning eagerly.
He Ning was also startled. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xu Wen: "Commander, they don't act according to the instructions, just give them a light punishment. Why take their lives?"
Xu Wen looked at He Ning and said in a deep voice: "What should I do if I violate military orders during a march?"
He Ning was a little scared when Xu Wen looked at her. Said: "If you violate military orders, you will naturally be executed!"
"cut!"
As Xu Wen finished speaking, the guards around him drew their horses. He strode forward and cut off the heads of the other four people one by one.
A head rolled to Xu Wen's side. Xu Wen raised his foot and kicked it away. He said to He Ning: "Take your head and go back and tell your men to leave Tuanfeng Town at night and go to the sandbank in the middle of the river! If anyone doesn't listen, shoot them without mercy!"
He Ning didn't dare to say anything more, so she crossed her hands and said yes.
After taking two steps, Xu Wen turned back and said, "Find someone who is familiar with the local area. I have something to ask him!"
Watching Xu Wen walk away, He Ning took a breath. He said to himself: "No wonder the marshal sent Xu Wen here! This man is decisive in killing, unparalleled by others! Going deep into the Song Dynasty to do such a big thing, otherwise, how could it be accomplished?"
After saying that, he ordered his men to take the heads of the five leaders to the town to inform everyone.
This time Wanyanchang sent elite soldiers, selected from various armies. Since they are elite soldiers and come from various armies, it is naturally difficult to maintain discipline. Originally, one of the characteristics of the Jin army was strict discipline, but He Ning was from Yan and really couldn't control these people.
After seeing the blood, the people from the Jin Army immediately calmed down and left Tuanfeng Town before dark. Taking a big boat or a small boat, we arrived at a sandbank in the middle of the river.
From Li Yunwen, to Li Cheng, and then to Kong Yanzhou, there have been only a few large forces in Ezhou in recent years, and even smaller ones. The Qianli River was filled with smoke and smoke caused by these people. It wasn't until Zhang Jun drove away Li Cheng and forced Kong Yanzhou away that Ezhou was generally pacified. There are still many strongmen active in the nearby Huangzhou, Qizhou, and Hanyang armies, and they are far from being calmed down.
In the past few days when the Jin Army was active in Tuanfeng Town, the people around them were all speculating about which force they were and what big things they wanted to do. He suddenly left today, and the people in the town were even more worried. The shops were closed early.
On a sandbank in the middle of the river, at the door of a collapsed temple, Xu Wen sat on a chair and fell asleep. The leaders who came back from Tuanfeng Town watched from a distance, but no one dared to step forward.
He Ning got off the boat and arrived in front of the temple. She looked around and sighed in her heart. The soldiers who came were basically placed on the sandbank, while the leaders went to the town to have fun. When Xu Wen came today, he killed the five big leaders first, and the rest immediately became obedient.
He Ning came forward with a member of staff, crossed her hands and sang a promise.
Xu Wen opened his eyes, looked at He Ning, and said in a deep voice: "Have everyone arrived on the island?"
He Ning said yes. Pointing to the Yuanwai next to him, he said: "This Qi Yuanwai is originally from Huangzhou. He fled to Tuanfeng Town to avoid the war. He is the best at assessing the situation and is willing to serve this dynasty."
Xu Wen nodded. Asked: "There have been years of war in this area, and not many people can keep their property. However, no matter how troubled the times are, there are always heroes who can do things that others cannot do. Let me ask you, which family is near Tuanfeng Town today? The richest?"
Qi Yuanwai was stunned for a while and saw Xu Wen's eyes as sharp as a knife. He said hurriedly: "Returning to the Taiwei, if you say he is rich, he is certainly the Jiang Yuanwai outside Yangluo Town."
Xu Wendao: "What kind of ability does this member of the Communist Party of China have? Can he still keep his family property in these troubled times?"
Qi Yuan said: "Chiang Yuan's family has been raising and killing pigs for several generations, and has accumulated a huge fortune. He has six sons, all of them are brave and rogue, and they are all gangsters who run rampant in the countryside. There are five hundred villagers in the village. The orders were strict, who would dare to mess with him? No matter it was Li Yunwen, Li Cheng or Kong Yanzhou, when they arrived in Ezhou, they all appointed Jiang Yuanwai as an official, and dozens of miles around Yangluo Town were under his control. Such a person can certainly keep his wealth. "
Xu Wen nodded: "Okay, okay, such a person is just in need now!"
After saying that, he ordered He Ning to take all the people out.
After telling everyone to disperse, Xu Wen left He Ning alone.
Add another chair to He Ning's chair. Xu Wendao said: "The people who came to Tuanfeng Town first made such a big noise. How could the Song army escorting the artillery not hear about it? They must have been watching in Ezhou for a few days, waiting for the noise here to subside before leaving. We have come thousands of miles away, How can we wait? We must fight quickly so that the Song army cannot react."
He Ning said: "It was my lack of thinking and lack of strict military discipline that caused the trouble. It's just that it has already happened. What can I do?"
Xu Wendao: "Just because we are not in the town, I am afraid that Song Jun will not be able to feel at ease in the short term. With so many people gathered in Tuanfeng Town, no one will think of us, whether it is Song Jun or the surrounding people. Most of them think that there are strong men." We are here to do something big. In this case, we will really do something big to make Song Jun feel at ease!"
He Ning was startled: "Control means——"
Xu Wen nodded heavily: "Yes, Jiang Yuanwai is needed at this time. I have to borrow his head and let the Song army come quickly!"
He Ning said: "I just heard from Yuanwai Qi that Yuanwai Chiang has six sons, all of whom are tyrannical. There are also five hundred bankers who give strict orders. I'm afraid it won't be easy to touch him."
Xu Wen sneered: "No matter how strong Jiang is, he can only scare the people around him. A thousand gold troops are enough to march across several states. How can he be afraid of a countryman?"
He Ning nodded: "That's what the commander said. However, this matter needs to be discussed carefully to avoid accidents."
