The suppression of bandits should be led by the government and carried out by the government and the army. Otherwise, the troops will have no reputation and they will gain a bad name for no reason.
It even causes people to hold grudges and make achievements, but only to suffer the consequences.
Moreover, this time we want to suppress bandits in Huangmen Mountain, which is close to the Inner Yellow Land and is not under the jurisdiction of Daming Prefecture. Gaokan was born in Bianliang, Tokyo, so he is a foreign monk.
If you really want to go without some official credentials, you may not be sure whether you are a human or a ghost in the eyes of Huang Guanjun.
Liang Shijie also realized something was fishy and said after hearing this: "Don't worry, nephew, I won't let you go like this."
"When Suo Chao comes over later, ask him to separate a group of people from the Daming Prefecture Left-behind Department, and use the name of the Daming Prefecture officers and soldiers. It will be more convenient."
Gao Kan immediately raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you uncle for your grace. With this banner, we can rest assured."
"That's how it should be."
Liang Shijie waved his hand and said with a smile: "By the way, you said before that your men know the Liangshan bandits. Do you know where they are hiding?"
Hearing this, Gao Kan immediately showed embarrassment, shook his head and said, "I have no way of knowing."
"That's it, that's fine. Let Lu Junyi and Suo Chao discuss it and then ask them to figure out how to send spies to investigate."
Liang Shijie seemed to have asked this question only on a whim, and did not really know about it.
After the two of them finished talking, they called the servants to let Lu Junyi and Lin Chong come in to talk.
Everyone entered the hall and bowed to Liang Shijie in the hall. After greeting him, they stood on both sides.
Liang Shijie saw that Lu Junyi was very energetic and praised him: "He is indeed an extraordinary person, but I am very ignorant. I didn't know there was such a good man in Damingfu City. I didn't know Yuan Lu earlier."
"It makes me feel ashamed to be praised by adults." Lu Junyi said humbly.
"Executive member Lu, I have invited you to come here for discussion. Has Mr. Gao explained the details to you?" Liang Shijie asked.
"Reporting to your lord, Mr. Gao has told me that it is my great fortune to be recommended by you and appreciated by you. I am willing to be sent by you to annihilate the Liangshan bandits!" Lu Junyi replied immediately.
Liang Shijie was overjoyed when he heard this. He clapped his hands and praised: "What a jade unicorn. I will wait to hear the good news of your victory and return."
While he was talking, servants outside came to report that Suo Chao had arrived.
Liang Shijie said hurriedly: "Quickly call General Suo in, we are waiting for him."
The servant immediately went out and asked Suo Chao to come in. After a while, Mrs. Kung entered the hall.
Suo Chao usually stayed behind to manage the army, and he usually wore armor. This time when he came to see him, he was also fully armed.
After entering the door, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted: "Suo Chao, the last general, pays homage to Lord Zhongshu."
"General Suo, please wake up. Do you already know that we have asked the left-behind department to divide the troops to exterminate the bandits in Liangshan? I have called you here today. Firstly, I want to meet Lu Junyi, the hero of Daming Mansion. Lu Yuanwai, the two of you will work together to suppress the bandits. You must work together."
Liang Shijie said, and introduced Suo Chao to Lu Junyi: "Lu Yingxiong, this is General Suo Chao, please get to know him."
Hearing this, Lu Junyi quickly clasped his fists and said, "I've heard about the name of General Suo Chao, the vanguard, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."
"The last general has heard of Yuan Lu's famous name for a long time."
When Suo Chao saw Lu Junyi, he hurriedly clasped his fists in return.
Liang Shijie in the hall saw the two talking and said with joy on his face: "Since both of you have heard a lot, it will be much easier to handle. General Suo, this time the left-behind department is organizing the army to suppress the bandits. I intend to ask Lu Yingxiong to take command. What are you doing?" Pioneer, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Suo Chao's face changed, as if he was unwilling.
But he still held his tongue and said straightly: "I will obey the orders of Master Zhongshu."
"Okay, since General Suo Chao agrees, let's make this decision for now. As for the specific details of how to send troops to suppress the bandits, you can discuss it with Lu Yingxiong after we get down."
Liang Shijie spoke, pointed to Gaokan, and said: "This is Mr. Gao from Gaokan, Bianliang, Tokyo. I asked him to help pacify the bandits in Huangmen Mountain. Mr. Gao wants to borrow a troop from the Left Behind Division. Please dispatch it." A fine army follows him.”
Suo Chao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then said: "Master Zhongshu has an order, and I dare not disobey it. However, I have heard that the bandits in Huangmen Mountain are extremely ferocious. They often use the terrain to rob business travelers and harm countless people. With the mountain gate to rely on, I wonder how Mr. Gao plans to defeat the enemy?"
When Gao Kan saw Suo Chao's expression, he knew that he looked down on him.
Not in a hurry to show off, he cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Let me make fun of you, general. I came to Daming Mansion before. When I passed through Huangmen Mountain, I had a fight with a bandit on the mountain. I am an old acquaintance."
"This time, Master Rong Zhongshu asked us to go to Huangmen Mountain and wipe out the bandits here. The next plan is to disguise ourselves as merchants and escort a large amount of goods. First, we will lure the bandits down from the mountain and ambush the officers and soldiers on both sides. Let's kill together. If this happens, the gate of the stronghold on the mountain will definitely be empty. If we ask two good men to sneak into the stronghold and open the gate of the stronghold, it will be possible."
Hearing this, Suo Chao sneered and said: "Master Gao said it so easily. As far as I know, the bandits in Huangmen Mountain have been entrenched in the area for a long time. The officers and soldiers nearby have sent troops to annihilate them several times, but they have failed. You How can we just ask the best two men to sneak into the stronghold?"
Lin Chong and Yang Zhi stood behind Gao Kan and immediately refused to obey Suo Chao's words.
The two of them took a step forward and said in unison: "The two of us are willing to enter the stronghold by ourselves!"
Suo Chao glanced at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid it's easy to talk here, but it will be extremely difficult when it comes to doing things!"
Lin Chong said solemnly: "General Suo doesn't believe us, why don't we compare it with Mr. Zhongshu?"
"Okay, I just wanted to try my best."
Suo Chao was also impatient. Hearing Lin Chong's words, he was unwilling to retreat and immediately agreed.
Upon seeing this, Liang Shijie in the hall came to persuade: "General Suo, I have invited several heroes to help annihilate the bandits in Huangmen Mountain. You must not be reckless."
Lin Chong stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Master Zhongshu, I would like to challenge General Suo, so that General Suo can trust me and entrust his men to me."
Seeing that Lin Chong also insisted, Liang Shijie looked at Gao Kan with questioning eyes.
Gao Kan then clasped his fists and said, "General Suo is the general who stayed behind. We shouldn't have collided with the general, but to reassure the general, please allow me to have a free discussion."
"If that's the case, then okay, just try it out and hit the mark."
Seeing this, Liang Shijie agreed.
In fact, he was also curious in his heart, wanting to see if the men Gao Kan mentioned were really capable.
Don't let the soldiers, horses and men go out in a mighty manner, only to return without success, even losing troops and generals, and the gain outweighs the gain.
With Liang Shijie's approval, Lin Chong took a step forward without hesitation, walked to the hall, gave Suo Chao a fist, and invited him in.
"General Suo, please."
"you please."
Suo Chao didn't waste any time. He took off the sword from his waist and faced Lin Chong in front of him with his bare hands.
