3 Jinling (3)

Zhao Dangshi took the lead and rushed to the forefront. The original owner of his body was very skilled and he inherited it.

One of Wang Pahui's subordinates screamed and threw two stones at him. He turned his head slightly and flashed over. The man was scared when he saw the horse coming quickly, so he threw the knife and wanted to run away. Zhao Dangshi did not allow him to escape, and threw the wooden gun out with the horse's stance, but his accurate head almost hit the man's left leg.

The man tripped and staggered. Zhao Dangshi drove his horse to arrive, pulled out his waist knife, and gently stroked his head while he was raising his head. The man's head flew out and landed seven or eight steps away.

Hou Dagui was not willing to fall behind. He screamed and rushed into the crowd with a thirty-pound long leash. Although the long leash was heavy, it was rotating like flying in his hands. Speaking of this long leash, it still had a origin. He had seen Thief Qugao in Shanxi to show off his skills. He was so envious. Later, he snatched the item. Unexpectedly, he was quite good at it, so he abandoned the sword and gun and used this object as a common weapon.

If the user has strong power, even iron armor will be difficult to resist when swung, let alone these bandits who have no armor and only have a single garment. For a moment, wherever Hou Dagui went, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Wang Pahui held a short sword and hid in the distance to watch. Although Zhao Dangshi and his group of people were brave, they were few after all. After many years as bandits, they had not learned how to fight with less, so they still had the ability to fight with less. At worst, they could die more and fill in more lives.

After a fight, more than a dozen of Wang Bahui's men were killed or injured. Although Zhao Dangshi and his gang relied on their horsepower, they did not suffer any casualties, they were still a little tired after all. Seeing that they were not able to catch their strength, Hou Dagui suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Boss, why are the reinforcements not yet? You are not letting go of our pigeons!"

Zhao Dangshi immediately responded: "Don't worry, General Cao is behind. The Cao Guard and the Hou Guard will also attack each other!"

After the conversation, the two seemed to have a reassurance, and continued to fight without distraction.

The two of them not only reached Wang Paohui's ears, but also every bandit present heard it sincerely. From Zhao Dangshi's tone, this grandson actually joined the official army and served as a guide. Cao Wenzhao's general Cao Bianjiao and the guard Cao Dingjiao, and Hou, were all not far away.

"Why did this coward join the government army? General Cao is also interested in him?" Before Wang Bahui could figure out the whole story, his panic-ridden subordinates instantly lost their fighting spirit and began to be defeated.

These bandits ran away for a day and night, and it was already difficult to fight against Zhao Dangshi and others who were riding on horseback. They had to rely on the number of people to fight. Now they heard that the officers and soldiers were escorting up again, and they didn't know the true or false at all. What they thought was the only word "escape".

"The general in charge said that if you kill a level of one silver, you should not let Qiu Ba take advantage of it later!" Hou Dagui was secretly happy when he saw his opponent's plan, and he added another sentence without missing the opportunity.

He did a lot of acting. With his superb acting skills, Zhao Dangshi and Hou Dagui sang and made Wang Paihui's subordinates who were frightened and all turned around and fled, no matter how their officials suppressed them, they no longer paid attention to them.

The defeated soldiers on both sides could not hold back, and Wang Paoyu was already confused. He was scared and was ready to run away. Zhao Dangshi would not allow him to slip away, so he rushed straight and chased him.

Wang Paihui threw away his short knife, and ran wildly with his hands and feet. In a panic, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer, and he did not dare to turn around. With his liver and gallbladder, he actually held his head and squatted on the ground, shouting: "Governor's life!"

When he suddenly came out, Zhao Dangshi didn't react. The horse could not be pulled. At that time, he stepped directly from Wang Paohui's body. In the sound of the wind, Zhao Dangshi clearly heard a few crisp sounds of "crack" sounds. I guess the poor worm under the horse's hooves had broken several bones.

He came back from horseback, jumped to the ground, and went to see Wang Bahui's face was covered in blood, obviously he had been trampled to death. So he cut his head and tied it to the edge of the saddle.

Since Wang Paihui died, the only hard bones that had resisted were soft. Zhao Dangshi and others rushed for a while, and they stopped until night fell.

After the fierce fight, everyone was panting like a cow and sweating all over. In this battle, Wang Pixiao cut off more than twenty heads. Ten people were captured, tied up and threw them aside. The remaining ones ran away had no energy to chase them.

Zhao Dangshi untied the ropes of Yang Chengfu and others, and sent someone to pick up the wounded Wang Laixing, who was placed in the forest.

Yang Chengfu was a hob, with a very thick-skinned face. When he saw Zhao Dangshi, he first kowtowed twice, and then he snot and tears to express his heart. Later, he felt a lot of grievances, and the matter of escaping at the last moment was gently covered by him.

Zhao Dangshi was too lazy to argue with him, and only said he was hungry. Yang Cheng's mansion was very clever and immediately took people to various households to search for food and wages. Before, when Wang was slaughtered ashes, he had already put the raw rice in the pot, and the horses of Yang Cheng's mansion and others were slaughtered and stewed. At this time, Zhao Dangshi and others directly picked up ready-made rice and horse meat, and everyone had a full meal.

After the water and food were full, Zhao Dangshi asked Hou Dagui to gather all the residents in the village and personally go to the ten prisoners to surrender. At present, there is a shortage of personnel, so it is a pity that these ten ready-made troops will not be absorbed.

The ten prisoners also had milk, and the wall grass fell with the wind. Before Zhao Dangshi could recruit them, they burst into tears and cursed Wang Pixiao all kinds of things, cursing them viciously, and also revealed many scandals that even Zhao Dangshi had never heard of. Zhao Dangshi didn't want to listen to these people talking nonsense. Seeing that they were willing to surrender, they let them go.

The ten people were grateful, and when they heard that there was food, they rolled and crawled. Zhao Dangshi shook his head and said nothing. In today's troubled times, he relied on his strength. Whoever had a big fist would be able to make a living. His first task at this stage was to strengthen his strength and expand his troops. Otherwise, even if he was back to the camp, he would be a hundred households who were not suitable. As for the loyalty of these subordinates, there was no guarantee for the time being.

I walked to a threshing farm in the village, and saw that under Hou Dagui's urge to take over, the old and young people in the village were gathered together.

Zhao Dangshi noticed a little girl with a dazed expression, the one who was almost insulted by Wang Paihui in the previous episode. Seeing that she was skinny and skinny, she was like a little monkey, she couldn't help feeling pity and took two steps to comfort her. However, the little girl hugged her head and screamed twice, then giggled, as if she was crazy.

Zhao Dangshi stood there for a while, silent, and could only sigh softly and stop.

Hou Dagui spitted and waited for a while and said, "The head of the family, everyone is here, how can we deal with it?"

Zhao Dangshi looked at the military households carefully. They were old men and women, or even young children, and the middle-aged Dingkou was not even a single one. Looking at their bodies, they were all skinny and sluggish. Thinking of the fact that everyone had just had a full meal, they were afraid that they would eat the food for these poor people for two or three months, they felt a little guilty.

He looked unhappy and was seen by Hou Dagui. He speculated that his family was disliked by these depressed military households. He immediately showed his evil spirit and directed his left and right, "Fei Tian." The so-called "Fei Tian" is a slander of bandits, which means burying all these people alive.

"Dan's my mother's melon skin." Zhao Dangshi was furious and suddenly cursed the general. Not only Hou Dagui was shocked. The uninformed military households were also shocked by him. They all thought that they would die this time. Those close friends had already hugged each other three or five of them and cried bitterly.

Hou Dagui cursed with no brainstorm, feeling very wronged. He didn't know what the hundreds of households were thinking, so he swallowed his anger. If it were the past, if someone dared to scold him like this, he would have fought desperately with him. But in today's battle, Zhao Dangshi calmly made a move and defeated the more with less, which brought him a lot of shock. Under admiration, his view of Shangguan changed a little and did not dare to act arrogantly anymore.

"How much money did you pay from Wang Paihui?" Zhao Dangshi suddenly asked him while being timid.

He was stupid and immediately reacted and replied, "A dilapidated house, he is very generous in everyday life, and he only costs ten taels of silver for all of them. He will give it to Brother Lai."

Wang Laixing was a trustworthy person Zhao Dangshi was appointed to manage the money. Hou Dagui actually grabbed twenty taels and swallowed half of it himself.

Zhao Dangshi knew in his heart that this guy must have something to eat alone, but he didn't even sniff. He just lowered his voice and said, "Tonight, after eating and drinking tomorrow morning, I will leave five taels of silver for the village. People are not allowed to kill one, and the house is not allowed to burn. If you can't do it, I will do it first."

"This..." Hou Dagui looked at the hundred households in front of him in surprise, as if he was looking at a monster. This guy never acted according to common sense, and now he left the money for these bankrupt families, which one is making trouble.

However, he was not a person who was not flexible. He didn't spend his own money, just give it to him, just treating it as a worm in his brain and talking nonsense. So he agreed repeatedly and drove away the military households.

After Zhao Dangshi gave the order, he was about to leave, but Hou Dagui came over and smiled and said, "Boss, we have another request. I feel so uncomfortable in the past few days..."

Zhao Dangshi knew where he was going to sing. This guy was so 'screwed'. If he didn't let him vent his anger, it would be hard to guarantee that he would make any trouble. These people, such as the tyrants, who put their heads on their belts, pursued nothing more than two things: wine and meat and women. If they could not meet their original needs, with Zhao Dangshi's current control over them, it might lead to a mutiny. At this troublesome time, he really didn't want to make trouble again. After thinking about it, he said to him: "It's not impossible, but you have to promise me two conditions."

"What conditions are you going to say."

"First, don't defile the children and the elderly in the village. Second, you must give some money as compensation after the matter is finished."

"What?" Hou Dagui could hardly believe his ears. Let's talk about the previous one first. He thought that these hundred households would not allow him to violate the children. Although those old women were not as tender as girls, they could not pick and choose in extraordinary times. After turning off the lights, they would pass. But now even the old women could not touch them. What is left in the broken village? Could it be that he would find a female ghost to have fun? He could not accept the latter one. As the victor, he had the right to ravage the people in the village. He was not shopping in the kilns and had to give money. Wouldn't it make people laugh when they spread it out? Therefore, he hesitated and refused to agree.

As soon as he hesitated, Zhao Dangshi pretended to be angry and scolded: "Now our lives are in lingering. You are still thinking about the happiness of that thing all day long. If you want to go, you will not have to follow me from today."

When he said harsh words, Hou Dagui became anxious when he heard this. He had a bad temper and had no favors for several leaders. He only had some presence under Zhao Dangshi. He wanted to climb up as a stepping stone. If Zhao Dangshi had no choice, he might not be able to survive even if he returned to the camp. Moreover, Zhao Dangshi's performance in the past few days has made him feel a little hopeful. Not to mention it, just talk about going to Xi'an. If Shangguan didn't, I'm afraid he would have to leave here today. At least he would have a high chance of finding the large army with Zhao Dangshi. Based on the above, he believed that this was not the time to leave Zhao Dangshi at this stage, so he became anxious when he heard this.

After thinking about it again, I just gave it to the money. I didn’t say how much I gave it, and I still had ten taels on it, which was enough. After thinking about it for a while, I still felt embarrassed.

Zhao Dangshi frowned as if he smelled a stench and said to him: "There is a woman tied to the toilet behind him. I asked him that he was a slave in the camp. He took Wang Baohui here and stayed in the village. You go find him and give her some money when it's over, how about it?"

Hou Dagui was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "It's great, very good!" He almost danced when he answered the conversation.

After hearing his promise, Zhao Dangshi reluctantly let him go. He hummed a little tune happily and went to seek happiness. Zhao Dangshi turned back to Wang Laixing and checked his wounds.

The situation looked pretty good, because the knife was burned and the bandage was tight, and the wound did not continue to suppurate. His subordinates looked for some swords, guns and medicines in the village to apply them, and it began to scab. After resting, Wang Laixing was in good spirits. Zhao Dangshi looked at this young man who was only sixteen years old and had mixed feelings. At this age, at that time, he should have enjoyed the ignorant and youthful worry-free time, but in this era, he had already started to make life with his life.

Wang Laixing was thoughtful and saw that Zhao Dangshi was in a bad mood. So he first boasted about today's victory, and then said that the number of people has increased sharply and he will definitely be able to successfully find the return camp and try to comfort him.

Zhao Dangshi knew his feelings, but although he felt depressed, he pretended to smile. As far as he knew, in order to completely eliminate the bandits in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou almost used all his family background. He gathered many troops in Guanzhong, including Zuo Guangxian, He Renlong, Liu Chenggong, Zhang Quanchang and even Cao Wenzhao. Although Lao Hui and Hui were numerous, they were hard to say for the victory or defeat in the face of these powerful military officers, trapped and even the Yi Dian. In addition to Guanzhong, Hong Chengchou also cooperated with Shaanxi Governor Li Qiao, Henan Governor Xuan Mo, Sichuan Governor Wang Weizhang, Huguang Governor Tang Hui, and Yunyang Governor Lu Xiangsheng, to mobilize troops from Henan, Sichuan, Chu and other places to guard various passes at the junction of the four provinces, intending to form a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs.

In this way, the battle in Xi'an will become the key, and it is natural that Lao Huihui will win. Once he loses, he will probably face a catastrophe. By then, the fire in the city gate will cause the fish in the pond, and small fish such as Zhao Dangshi will not have any good endings.

Zhao Dangshi knew that Hong Chengchou was powerful, but he did not know the result of the Battle of Xi'an. Even if he knew in advance, it would be useless. He was just a small household, drowned in the boundless military force, and what kind of waves could it cause.
