The bandit army still came. Although Gao Kan had already planned it in his heart, he did not expect that the whole Zhending Mansion would be so overwhelmed. In just a few days, a small group of golden soldiers could kill like this.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why since the Song Dynasty, he had used all the material resources of the Song Dynasty to please thieves.
The vastness of China is so majestic that we, the Han people, can be bullied like this by a mere Jurchen clown?
As long as he is in Zhending Mansion, if he wants to get this Jurchen bandit army out of the underworld alive, they might as well stop living and find a bigger stinky puddle to drown in!
At that moment, Gaokan called Yang Zhi and ordered him to immediately clean up the troops and wait for his orders.
Yang Zhi was very knowledgeable and did not dare to delay. He immediately gathered his men and others.
Bailingzhai must be in his hands. Originally, Gaokan was still worried that the Jin army had not moved, and there was still time. Cao Zheng's secret letter made him change his mind immediately.
And there was only one day. If He Zhenyuan refused to leave the stronghold, even if he entered the stronghold alive, he would have to capture it first.
Fortunately, it didn't end there. After He Zhenjiang's letter reached the village, it only took half a day for the news to arrive.
He Zhenyuan's fellow did not change his character and did not move during the day. Then when night fell, he sent ten or twenty people to sneak out of the stronghold.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Gao Kan had already planned something, so he asked someone to stand outside the barracks door and keep an eye on him.
The men and horses had just gone out, and they came here to report immediately. After Gao Kan got the letter, he immediately asked Yang Zhi to select the men. He just made use of the horses obtained from He Zhenjiang, and immediately gathered the men and horses to send out.
He Zhenyuan didn't lead many people, and Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang had already made preparations. It shouldn't take much effort to capture these people.
Not to mention that Gaokan asked Yang Zhi to take the lead in person, so he was fully prepared.
The remaining manpower was not idle, and Gao Kan personally took action and led his men to ambush in the mountains and forests outside the gate of Bailing Village.
In case He Zhenyuan still has a backup plan, the people in front will move forward, and the people in the rear will follow closely.
Yang Zhi and the others made dumplings with just a few people.
That's why we waited outside the village gate. If someone really came out, it would be easier to stop them. Anyway, there would be no need to fight to the death, and there would be no need to worry about one's own safety.
At worst, if you see that the situation is not right, you can just apply oil on the soles of your feet and run away.
After waiting for more than two hours, no one came out of the village. Gao Kan expected that Yang Zhi's side would be done, so he gathered his men and returned to the fishing village to wait.
Not long after they entered the village, they heard the sound of people and horses outside. As expected, Yang Zhi had captured He Zhenyuan and the others and tied them back.
Seeing someone in the room, Gao Kan stared at He Zhenyuan and said, "He Tiha, do you know someone?"
He Zhenyuan asked Zhang Qing and his wife to do some numbing. When he opened his eyes, he saw that they had been tied up and restrained. They came all the way in panic, but they were still alive.
He stared at Gaokan and was speechless.
Gaokan didn't care, waved his hand and said: "It's okay for you to recognize me. I am Gaokan Gaoyanei, the son of Commander Gao Taiwei of Tokyo Palace. I came to Bailing Village this time and wanted to use your village gate. I don't know. Is that possible?"
"Gao, Mr. Gao?" He Zhenyuan lost consciousness immediately after hearing this.
He was a local emperor in this remote place under the rule of Zhending Mansion, showing off his power, but compared with the eldest son from Bianliang in Tokyo, he was nothing.
It just made him think hard, but he couldn't figure out why the noble and dignified Prince Gao Taiwei could care so much about him.
"It's not bad that you can still hear the words."
Gao Kan glanced at He Zhenyuan and then said: "You thief used the name of the government to entangle a group of thieves at Hefengkou in this small area of Bailing Village, wantonly causing trouble, expropriating money, robbing wealth and killing people. You should be punished for your crimes. punish."
"I should have had you tied up in the Zhen Ding Mansion to be held accountable for your crimes, but I thought that you managed the Bailing Village very well, just like an iron bucket, which gave me a good territory, so I can spare you from death for the time being. , if you know it well enough, you can obey your orders and do things, and when my master accomplishes the big things, I will spare your life."
"You..." He Zhenyuan looked shocked as he listened, and there was a look of argument between his eyebrows.
But before he could say what he said, Gao Kan said straightly: "If you dare to disobey, I won't bother to escort you to Zhending Mansion anymore, just drag him out and kill him."
After Gao Kan finished speaking, Yang Zhi pulled out his sword and dragged him out without saying a word.
He Zhenyuan had never seen such a battle before. He was so horrified that he didn't dare to make any mistakes and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Young Master, please spare your life. Young Master, please spare your life. I am willing to obey the Young Master's orders!"
When Gao Kan saw this, he said: "Okay, I want you to know the importance of this. It's getting late today. Early tomorrow morning, I will ask someone to return to the stronghold with you. By then, all the people in the stronghold will be handed over."
"Yes, yes, I will obey my orders!" He Zhenyuan kowtowed.
Seeing this, Gao Kan waved his hand and asked Yang Zhi to take the person down for safekeeping, then called Wu Song and asked him to do one more thing.
The Jin soldiers advanced so fast that people were caught off guard. The soldiers and horses of the Zhao and Song officials they passed along the way collapsed at the first touch.
It is expected that there will be many remnant soldiers scattered in Gaokan. Although these remnants are defeated, they are officers and men after all. If they can be gathered together, they can be combined into a single army.
The outcome of the Zhending Mansion was within his expectation. Leaving aside the situation of facing the Jin soldiers, there was nothing wrong with recruiting more troops first.
If these people have nowhere to go, they will be in trouble if they fall into the trap and become bandits. The land of Hebei is not a peaceful place, and Tian Hu, one of the four major bandits of the Water Margin, is among them.
Don't plan carefully on your own, and let this guy take advantage of it.
In fact, Wu Song was not the first choice to gather the defeated troops, but Gaokan could not spare anyone else at the moment. Lin Chong followed the merchant ship down, and would not turn around until he landed at the mountain stronghold in the west.
Although it was originally said that it would be returned within one day, there is no news at the moment. We don’t know the actual situation yet, so we can’t wait.
Yang Zhi wants to stay with him to do things. If he escapes, he may not be able to control even Bailing Village.
It would be nice if Yan Qing was with me. He has good footwork and is good at getting around, so he is an excellent choice for getting things done.
However, before coming to Bailing Village, Gaokan had asked him to handle another important secret matter. He might not be able to come back from that trip for at least ten days and a half, and there was no news at the moment.
After much calculation, Wu Song is the only one who can be used by his subordinates.
It was inevitable that Wu Song had no identity to control the battle, so Gao Kan specifically entrusted him with Gao Taiwei's token.
In this way, even if they encounter most of the defeated army, they can still use the name of the Palace Commander's Mansion to make these people obey orders.
As long as Wu Song gathered enough people, the general scattered soldiers would naturally gather among them.
If you lose people and protect people, everyone and land will be there; if you lose people and protect land, people and land will be lost. Such a simple truth, Gao Kan naturally knows it well.
If the Zhending Mansion is going to be in chaos, all the officials from top to bottom will flee in fear, and no one will take charge of the overall situation. However, the Zhending Mansion, with at least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, cannot be lost.
Without these troops, what would Gaokan have to fight against Wanyan Zonghan's invading army from the west.
